The release-group MBID backfill queried `release_groups`, which plan 013
renamed to `albums`. It failed on its first statement on every launch
since e7748f1 and the pass returned quietly having done nothing:
W/yellowjacket: msg="release-group mbid backfill: query failed"
explore.error="SQL logic error: no such table: release_groups (1)"
What it does is resolve a release-level MBID (MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID, which
many taggers write instead of MUSICBRAINZ_RELEASEGROUPID) into the
release-group MBID everything else on the album page is keyed by. A scan
cannot afford a live MusicBrainz call, so `library.updateMBIDs` stashes
the release MBID in `pending_release_mbid` and defers to this. With this
broken the marker was written by every scan and resolved by nothing, so
those albums were untagged as far as the catalog is concerned,
permanently.
**The fix is to call the queries plan 013 already wrote.**
`GetAlbumsWithPendingReleaseMBID` and `ResolveAlbumPendingReleaseMBID`
have been in sql/queries/albums.sql since that change, generated and
never called -- the writer of the marker was repointed at `albums` and
the reader was not. So this is not a missed rename so much as a call
site left behind, and thirty lines of raw SQL and hand-rolled scanning
become three.
That is also the durable half. These two were the last raw-SQL
references to a schema table in the tree, and being raw is exactly why
013 missed them: sqlc reads sql/schemas/ and cannot generate against a
table that is not declared, which is what made every other statement in
the repo immune to the same rename.
Three smaller things.
**The LIMIT came back.** The raw statement bounded a run at
releaseGroupMBIDBackfillMaxPerRun and 013's sqlc replacement had no
LIMIT at all, so switching over as-written would have swapped a dead
pass for an unbounded one -- each row is a live MusicBrainz lookup on a
1 req/s limiter shared with every page the user can open.
**The UPDATE goes through the writer.** `ReadQueries` is a query-only
pool and an UPDATE issued on it fails at runtime with "attempt to write
a readonly database".
**The query is its own method so its failure is assertable.**
A test of the pass as a whole cannot see this bug, because a query
error and an empty library are the same early return -- which is the
whole reason it survived. `pendingReleaseMBIDs` returns the error, and
the test reproduces the device's exact message against the old
statement.
Verified on the reference device: the warning is gone from logcat.
Closes #189
YellowJacket
Music how it was meant to bee.

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

- 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 | v3 — vendored, no install needed (go tool wails3) |
The Wails v3 CLI resolves from the tool block in go.mod, so there is nothing
to install globally; make setup fetches it with the rest of the tooling.
On Linux, install the system libraries Wails needs. v3 builds against GTK4 + WebKitGTK 6.0 by default:
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev libgtk-4-dev libwebkitgtk-6.0-dev # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo pacman -S alsa-lib gtk4 webkitgtk-6.0 # Arch
A machine without webkitgtk-6.0 can still build with -tags gtk3 against the
older WebKit2GTK 4.1 stack, but that is an escape hatch, not what CI or a
release builds.
macOS and Windows need no extra system packages. Run go tool wails3 doctor to
check your environment.
Build
make setup # install tooling and git hooks
make dev # run with hot-reload
make build-prod # produce a release binary
