Two guardrails for the 2026-08-17 incident, and one is not about CI. index-artifact.yml's `push` trigger was commented out that day with a note to restore it once the rebuild completed. Restoring it is the bug. A refresh is individually cheap, which is what made the trigger look free; what it actually did was put an unattended job that mutates the only copy of a ~205 GB catalog on the same trigger as an ordinary code change, on a runner with capacity 1. The rule the file now states is the general one -- a job that mutates state which cannot be rebuilt in ten minutes is triggered deliberately -- so the next such job has somewhere to look. The cron and workflow_dispatch lose nothing: indexbuild resumes from its checkpoint either way. Note what no branching or PR gate would have caught here. That change was green on its branch, green on the merge and green on main; the fault existed only against the persistent /cache database, which no fixture reproduces. Code is gated by CI, irreplaceable state by refusing to touch it and by docs/index-cache.md's restore. The other half is the mismatch that started this: two harnesses reading two files. AGENTS.md is a symlink to CLAUDE.md and skill-check asserts the symlink rather than comparing contents, because a copy would satisfy every other check in this repo while silently drifting -- which is the failure being prevented. The same check now scans CLAUDE.md for make targets, which it never did: 27 targets named in the file agents trust most, none of them verified. Coverage goes 19 -> 46. Scanning prose meant the line-start rule needed a fence. "Two green branches do not / make a green merge" wrapped onto a line beginning `make a` and duly failed on a target called `a`. Inside a fence it is code; outside one it is a sentence that broke there, and a check that fails on reflow gets disabled rather than fixed.

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

Your library and settings are stored locally:

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
