Neither packaging/arch/PKGBUILD nor the Homebrew formula had been run since Phase 1, and both were still calling v2's CLI: `wails3 build` takes -tags, -obfuscated and -garbleargs and nothing else, so `-clean -trimpath -ldflags` fails at the flag parser. Both also installed from build/bin/, which is v2's output path — v3 writes to bin/, and build/ is tracked build assets now. Three more things the tree needs that neither recipe had. The tasks invoke `wails3` by bare name, so scripts/toolbin has to be on PATH or the build dies at its first sub-task. `wails3 build` has no -ldflags at all, and build:native computes BUILD_FLAGS in its own vars: so a CLI variable cannot override it — LDFLAGS_EXTRA is appended inside the production -ldflags string instead, on linux and darwin alike, empty by default so make build-dev/build-prod are unchanged. And bundling is a separate step from building: `task build` produces a bare binary on both platforms, so the formula's macOS path runs `task package`. The build assets were the scaffold's, not this app's. Info.plist named CFBundleExecutable `yjref` and com.example.yjref, nfpm packaged ./bin/yjref, the .desktop template said "A yjref application" — an .app built from that plist would not have launched. They generate from build/config.yml, whose info block had never been filled from wails.json either; `wails3 task common:update:build-assets` is the fix. nfpm's homepage and license are not derived from it and are set by hand, which is noted in place, and the refresh regenerates build/ios and build/android, which this repo does not carry. arch-package.yml's pacman list moves to webkitgtk-6.0/gtk4 to match the PKGBUILD's depends(): makepkg installs nothing itself, so a mismatch fails at link time rather than at check time.

YellowJacket
Music how it was meant to bee.
YellowJacket is a fast, cross-platform desktop music player for your local collection. It plays your files, keeps your library tidy, and helps you discover and organize your music — all in a clean, responsive interface. No accounts, no streaming, no telemetry: just your music on your machine.
Runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Features
Play your music
- Plays MP3, FLAC, OGG Vorbis, and WAV
- Play, pause, seek, and volume control with a mute toggle
- Gapless, glitch-free seeking backed by a read-ahead buffer
- A queue you can add to, reorder, and shuffle, with play-next support
- Shuffle and repeat (off / all / one)
- Picks up right where you left off — remembers your track, position, and volume between sessions
- Media-key and MPRIS support on Linux, so your desktop's playback controls just work
Keep your library organized
- Point it at your music folders and it scans them automatically
- Reads tags and embedded cover art, and de-duplicates artwork so it isn't stored twice
- Incremental sync — only new or changed files get reprocessed, and deleted files are cleaned up
- Browse by album, artist, or genre, or search across everything
- Mark favorites and see what you've been listening to with play history
- Edit track tags directly when something's off
Playlists
- Create playlists, drag tracks in, and reorder them
- Smart playlists that build themselves from rules (by genre, rating, play count, and more)
- Pin a default playlist and spot duplicate tracks at a glance
Discover and clean up (powered by MusicBrainz)
- Explore — browse artists, releases, and genres from the MusicBrainz catalog, not just what's already in your library
- Auto-tag — match your files against MusicBrainz to fill in correct artist, album, and track metadata, with a review step before anything is written
- Lyrics search — find a track by a line you remember

Building from source
YellowJacket is built with Go and a Lit/TypeScript frontend, bridged by the Wails framework.
Prerequisites
| Tool | Version |
|---|---|
| Go | 1.25+ |
| Node.js | 22+ |
| pnpm | 10+ |
| Wails CLI | v2 (go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@latest) |
On Linux, install the system libraries Wails needs:
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev
macOS and Windows need no extra system packages. Run wails doctor to check your
environment.
