## Fixed
### Player — prefs survive restart when queue persist hits quota
**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), reported by norp on the Psysonic Discord, PR [#958](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/958)**
* Volume, repeat mode, queue panel visibility, and the Last.fm loved-track cache no longer depend on the quota-bound `psysonic-player` blob (full `queueItems` since thin-state #872). Each pref now has its own small localStorage key with legacy migration from the old blob.
* Startup no longer overwrites saved prefs before Zustand rehydration finishes; persisted volume is pushed to the Rust engine on boot.
### All Albums — genre filter respects sidebar library scope
**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), reported by zunoz on the Psysonic Discord, PR [#959](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/959)**
* With multiple music libraries, narrowing the sidebar to one library no longer leaves the Genre filter showing server-wide genres — options now come from the scoped local index catalog (same scope as the album grid).
### Now Playing — multi-artist links and About the Artist tabs
**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), reported by zunoz on the Psysonic Discord, PR [#960](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/960)**
* Tracks with OpenSubsonic `artists[]` (e.g. Navidrome `feat.` splits) now expose per-artist links on the Now Playing hero and in the queue current-track row — same interaction as player bar and album track lists.
* About the Artist loads bio for each performer; when multiple artist ids are present, tabs switch between their bios, images, and similar artists instead of showing one joined name with a single profile.
**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), reported by zunoz on the Psysonic Discord, PR [#961](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/961)**
* Scoped search on Composers no longer replaces the Navidrome role-scoped catalog with generic artist index/search3 hits that merge split composer credits into one joined name and id — results stay split like the scroll overview.
### Browse grids — multi-select ring no longer clips (WebKitGTK)
**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), reported by zunoz on the Psysonic Discord, PR [#962](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/962)**
* Multi-select rings on Artists, All Albums, Playlists, and related card grids use an inset `::after` overlay (same approach as card focus rings) instead of `outline` on `overflow: hidden` tiles — fixes top-row clipping and the ~1px gap vs the inner border on Wayland/WebKitGTK.
### Composers — hide performer-only artists from role catalog
**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), reported by zunoz on the Psysonic Discord, PR [#963](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/963)**
* Navidrome's composer role list can include artists with zero composer album credits (e.g. Apollo 440 with performer albums only). Composers browse/search now drops rows where `stats.composer.albumCount` is zero so ghost composer cards no longer appear.
### Mainstage — Because you listened respects sidebar library
**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), reported by zunoz on the Psysonic Discord, PR [#964](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/964)**
* The recommendation rail picks albums from Last.fm similar artists via `getArtist`, which can ignore `musicFolderId` — picks are now filtered to the scoped library album set, and the rail cache invalidates when the sidebar library filter changes.
### Build a Mix — keyword blocks and scoped genre list
**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), reported by zunoz on the Psysonic Discord, PR [#965](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/965)**
* Random Mix keyword filter (click-to-block artist/genre) now applies even when "Exclude audiobooks" is off — blocking the only track in a library shows an empty state after Remix instead of the excluded song.
* Genre Mix loads genres through the scoped catalog (`fetchGenreCatalog` / local index) instead of server-wide `getGenres`, matching the sidebar library filter.
### Artist detail — external link buttons keep border on hover
**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), reported by zunoz on the Psysonic Discord, PR [#966](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/966)**
* Last.fm, Wikipedia, and Favorite used a hover border color that matched the card background — the rim disappeared instead of highlighting the inner fill like Play/Shuffle/Radio (`btn-surface`).
* Playlist detail — Play and Add Songs now show tooltips like the other header actions; track count uses proper pluralization (`1 song` vs `N songs`) with standard `count` interpolation.
* Suggested Songs rows now render BPM (and other optional columns like genre, play count, last played) — the column switch was missing those cases.
### Player transport — custom delay input validation
**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), reported by zunoz on the Psysonic Discord, PR [#967](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/967)**
* Absurd custom minute values (e.g. eleven nines) no longer arm an immediate timer while the preview still shows a far-future start time — input is capped to the browser delay limit and Apply stays disabled when out of range.
* Fractional custom minutes (e.g. `0.1`, `0.01`) now share the same delay math between the modal preview, armed timer, and play-button countdown so the displayed remaining time matches when playback starts or pauses.
### Settings — in-page search coverage and junk-query filtering
**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), reported by zunoz on the Psysonic Discord, PR [#968](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/968)**
* AudioMuse-AI (Navidrome) is indexed and selectable from settings search; choosing it opens Servers and scrolls to the plugin toggle when shown.
* In-app and global shortcut labels (e.g. Volume up / Volume down) appear as search hits and focus the parent shortcuts subsection.
* Nonsense queries no longer return unrelated fuzzy matches (e.g. long repeated letters).
### Floating player bar — remove full-width background strip
**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), reported by Asra on the Psysonic Discord, PR [#969](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/969)**
* Floating mode no longer stretches the player bar between sidebar and queue with fixed `left`/`right` — only the centered pill is painted over the page instead of a full-width black band behind the rounded corners.
**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), reported by zunoz on the Psysonic Discord, PR [#970](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/970)**
* Sort dropdown uses the themed `CustomSelect` instead of a native `<select>` whose option list followed system styling.
* Include/Exclude genre and year-range mode buttons no longer jump ~1px when selected — matched button box model and disabled hover translate on mode toggles.
* Selected genres are color-coded (primary for include, danger for exclude) so they are distinguishable from available chips.
* Excluding all genres collapses to a single untagged-genre rule instead of hundreds of `notContains` filters that stalled Navidrome; empty smart playlists settle without a false "Playlist not found" after a long spinner.
### Local index live search — no junk hits on `=` and syntax characters
**By [@cucadmuh](https://github.com/cucadmuh), reported by zunoz on the Psysonic Discord, PR [#983](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/983)**
* Queries such as `1=2` or `M=c` no longer return unrelated albums and artists — FTS5 was parsing `=` and similar characters as query syntax instead of a literal token.
* Wildcard-only queries (`**`, `****`) are rejected for both local index and server search; titles that contain censorship stars (e.g. `***Flawless`) remain searchable.
### In-page browse — virtual scroll and cover-art priority
* Starting a mix on the browsed server no longer spams cross-server enqueue errors — unpinned or foreign queues hand off cleanly before batch enqueue.

* On a dual-address server, library cover backfill was configured once with a snapshot of the connect URL and never followed the smart LAN↔public switch. Starting already off the LAN — or moving off it mid-session — (internet up, playback already on the public address) left backfill hammering the now-unreachable local address and flooding the log with `error sending request` failures.
* The backfill worklist no longer carries a URL: each cover fetch now reads the current reachable address live, so a LAN↔public flip is honoured even by the pass already in flight (its remaining covers download against the new endpoint). The connect cache is observable and pushes the resolved URL to the native worker on every flip; a real change clears the stale `.fetch-failed` backoff and runs a forced pass so the handful of covers attempted against the old address retry on the reachable one. This also covers the boot case where the initial pass starts on the primary URL before the first reachability probe resolves. On-demand UI / playback covers already followed the switch.
* A pass of UI/CSS fixes: keyboard focus rings now sit inside the focused element, so they're no longer clipped at the edge of cards, rails, the player bar, queue tabs or search fields; the page, Help and Settings search fields share one consistent shape and focus highlight; the column-visibility dropdown on track tables no longer gets cut off on short lists (e.g. a single favorited song); and the Theme settings list rounds its corners to match its section.
