Shuffle, repeat and the queue button leave the phone's bottom bar. They are not gone: all three are on the full-screen Now Playing view, one tap away through the mini player's art, which is the "reachable only from Now Playing" this issue asks for. #55 is what makes the queue half safe -- it is a screen with an entry in the back stack now, rather than a panel with no way out but the button being removed here. Removing a control is only allowed because it is still reachable, which is plan 018's matrix promise, so that is what the spec walks rather than counting buttons. It found that the route did not exist in the state that matters: `now-playing` renders two branches and the no-track one had no `.expand` button on its placeholder, so with nothing loaded there was no way to the full-screen view at all -- and once the queue button left the bar, no way to the queue. The queue is persisted across restarts, so "tracks queued, nothing playing" is a state the app launches into, not a corner. The favourite stays on the bar and was 18x14px, the smallest control in the app, against the 48x48 art beside it. One CSS trap, because it failed silently. The phone block is last in index.css on purpose -- a media query adds no specificity -- but the rule it overrides here is written *nested* inside `.bottom-bar`, so it builds to a descendant selector one class more specific and a bare `#queue-button` lost to it. Being last is not enough when the thing above is more specific. Closes #59
YellowJacket Frontend
This directory contains the frontend for YellowJacket.
Dependencies
There are a couple of tools that are required to build and use the frontend.
vitefor- transpiling typescript
- bundling the final "package" that is useb by the webview
- running a dev server with hot-reloading
- configured with the
vite.config.tsfile in this directory
pnpmfor managing frontend dependency packages
There are a handful of dependency packages that we use directly in the frontend.
picocssfor basic CSS while developinglitfor a simple but powerful wrapper around Web Components
Lastly, there are some dependencies that only benefit development
tsservercomes bundled with vscode and can be used as an LSP with other editors usingtypescript-language-server- Used for autocomplete, syntax highlighting, etc.
- This can be configured with the
tsconfig.jsonfile in the root of the project- NOTE: your configuration should align with the
viteconfig so you get in-editor feedback that aligns with how the build will be done.

Development
Ideally, you would use the frontend in the wails app as the frontend depends on the Go bindings generated by Wails.
You can do this by running wails dev in the root of the YellowJacket repo.
If you want to run the frontend standalone, make sure the Wails go bindings have been generated with wails generate modules.
Then, you can run pnpm dev to run the vite dev server.
For more information on what commands are available, refer to package.json.
Code
Web Components
Our frontend is based off of Web Components, a standard that provides native browser encapsulation of components that can include HTML, CSS and Javascript all together.
Instead of writing these components manually in Javascript, we utilize lit as a wrapper library.
Typescript
To better integrate with our tooling and to provide a better developer experience with strong typing, we have written all functional frontend code in Typescript. Vite serves as our Typescript transpiler.
Important Files and Directories
NOTE: most of these directories have aliases defined in tsconfig.json and vite.config.ts so that we may refer to them by shorthand when importing.
