feat(harness): agent-drivable dev harness and CI that gates
A coding agent could develop this repo's Go packages and could not
develop the application: every path to running YellowJacket ended in a
blocking GTK window, so 265 bound methods, 46 events, 33 component
directories and 13 stores had exactly one form of verification
available — `tsc --noEmit`.

The unlock is that `wails dev`'s dev server on :34115 serves the real
frontend with the real generated bindings against the same Go backend a
desktop window attaches to, so a plain Chromium under Xvfb gets a fully
functional app. Four test tiers now exist, cheapest first:

- `make ui-test` — 313 Vitest tests in a real browser in ~2 s, no app,
  no backend, no display. Works because `frontend/wailsjs/` is a pure
  passthrough to `window.go`/`window.runtime`, so faking just those two
  globals runs the real bindings and the real store code.
- `make test` — services in-process, asserting on the payload the
  frontend would receive, via a new `events.Emit` wrapper.
- `make dev-headless` + `playwright-cli` — the real app, driven
  interactively, with an event bridge on `window.__yjEvents` and a
  dev-only control surface at `/__test/`.
- `make e2e` — 19 of those flows frozen as Playwright specs.

`events.Emit(ctx, …)` replaces all 35 direct `runtime.EventsEmit` call
sites: wails' `getEvents` `log.Fatalf`s on any context without its
runtime, so those paths could not run under test and a background
worker could take the app down. Four packages had each hand-rolled the
same guard; nine more guarded on `ctx != nil`, which does not help.
`TestNoDirectRuntimeEmits` fails the build on a new one.

Fixtures are generated, not committed (`make testdata`), and seeds are
built by *running the app* — never by hand-writing config and DB rows,
which would be a second description of a valid YJ_HOME.

`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` is the first workflow here that tests
anything; the other three only package, so `gitea_ci` reported only
packaging jobs and misled anyone asking whether a push was healthy.
Both jobs were prototyped to green in a bare ubuntu:24.04 container
before the YAML was written, which immediately caught `make lint`
linting three configurations that nothing builds: all three passes
omitted `webkit2_41`, so wails resolved webkit2gtk-4.0 — which Arch
still ships and Ubuntu 24.04 dropped.

Operational instructions live in `.pi/skills/yellowjacket-dev/`,
measured discoveries in `.planning/NOTES.md`, and architecture in
`CLAUDE.md` — split by tense, not by topic, because a topical split
gives every new fact two plausible homes. `make skill-check` fails a
commit if the skill cites a make target that does not exist.

# The fixture library
`test_data/music_library_test/` is **generated, not committed**:
`make testdata` (~1 s) builds 31 deterministic tracks across MP3, FLAC,
Ogg Vorbis and WAV. `make testdata-force` rebuilds unconditionally,
`make testdata-clean` deletes it. `make test` and `make sandbox-seed`
depend on it, so it is rarely run by hand.
Tests that need it fetch it through `internal/testfixtures` and skip
themselves when it has not been generated.
## Select by case, never by path
```go
m := testfixtures.Load(t)
paths := m.Case(t, testfixtures.CaseCoverDedup)
track := m.Track(t, rel)
```
Cases: `cover-dedup`, `multi-disc`, `various-artists`, `flac-album`,
`ogg-album`, `wav-tracks`, `partial-tags`, `unicode`, `duplicates`,
`edge-lengths`, `broken`.
Two invariants worth not breaking:
- **The clean library is exactly 31 tracks**, because `sandbox-seed`
verifies the scan against that count. Deliberately malformed files
live in a *sibling* root, `test_data/music_library_broken/`
(`m.BrokenPath()`), so the scanner never sees them.
- **Tags are written by `backend/tagwriter`, not by ffmpeg** (which
encodes with `-map_metadata -1`). Fixture and reader therefore cannot
drift into agreeing with each other and disagreeing with reality.
The manifest (`test_data/music_library_test.manifest.json`, outside the
scanned root) hashes the *spec* — paths, formats, durations, tags,
cover identity — not the bytes, because ffmpeg stamps encoder version
strings and identical specs produce different bytes on different builds.
## In e2e specs
- **Every fixture except one is 26 seconds.** A spec that starts
playback and then clicks pause races the track ending and fails
against a correct UI. Use `LONG_TRACK` (90 s, `edge-lengths`) exported
from `e2e/support/fixtures.ts`.
- **WAV tracks scan in untitled.** `backend/tagwriter` writes WAV tags
into a RIFF `id3 ` chunk and `dhowden/tag` has no RIFF parser, so
there is no "Field Recordings" artist in the Artists view. This is a
known open bug pinned by `TestWAVTagsAreNotReadableYet`; do not
"fix" a spec by asserting the broken behaviour elsewhere.
## Seeds
```bash
make sandbox-seed NAME=default # build (boots a fresh YJ_HOME and drives the app)
make sandbox-seeds # list
make dev-headless SEED=default # restore into a run
```
A seed is a tarred `YJ_HOME` produced by *running the app*: fresh home →
real `AddLibrary` binding → poll until the real scan reports the
manifest's track count → SIGTERM so shutdown hooks persist state → tar.
Never hand-write one. Seeding points `YJ_CORE_INDEX_URL` at a dead
address on purpose, so no seed depends on what the explore artifact
server happened to be serving.
Rebuild a seed after any schema change, or the restored database is
migrated on open in a way the seed's author never saw.
