* fix(home): mainstage row matches "New Releases" sidebar + page label
The Mainstage row whose title chevron links to `/new-releases` was
labelled **Recently Added** (`home.recent`) while the sidebar entry and
the page itself are **New Releases** (`sidebar.newReleases`) — three
labels for the same destination. Reported on the Psysonic Discord.
Reuse `sidebar.newReleases` in both consumers (the row title in
`Home.tsx` and the section label in `HomeCustomizer.tsx`) so the
string lives in exactly one place. The now-orphaned `home.recent` key
is dropped from all nine locale files.
* docs(changelog): mainstage New Releases label fix (PR #741)
Findings 3 + 4 of the dedup audit — replace hand-rolled copies with the
utils that already exist:
- shuffleArray (utils/playback/shuffleArray.ts): BecauseYouLikeRail's
local shuffle<T>, plus the inline Fisher-Yates loops in RandomAlbums,
AlbumDetail and Home.
- dedupeById (utils/dedupeById.ts): the identical seen-Set/filter
union-dedupe block in the fetchByGenres of Albums, NewReleases and
RandomAlbums.
The extracted utils are character-identical to the inline loops, so no
behaviour change. RandomMix's biased `.sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5)`
is intentionally left alone — swapping it would change behaviour.
111 of 122 top-level src/utils/ files move into 16 topic folders (audio,
cache, cover, share, server, playback, playlist, deviceSync, waveform,
mix, format, export, changelog, ui, perf, componentHelpers). True
singletons with no cluster stay at the utils/ root.
Pure file-move: a path-aware codemod rewrote 539 relative-import
specifiers across 275 files; no logic touched. The hot-path coverage
gate list (.github/frontend-hot-path-files.txt) is updated to the new
paths for the 11 gated utils files — a mechanical consequence of the
move, not a CI change. tsc is green.
Three domain-eng modules peel ~316 LOC of fetch/mapping out of
`api/subsonic.ts`:
- `subsonicLibrary.ts` — browse + random + per-song fetch
(`getMusicDirectory`, `getMusicIndexes`, `getMusicFolders`,
`getRandomAlbums`, `getAlbumList`, `getRandomSongs`,
`getRandomSongsFiltered`, `getSong`, `getAlbum`,
`filterSongsToActiveLibrary`, `similarSongsRequestCount`, plus
the private `albumIdsInActiveLibraryScope` cache).
- `subsonicArtists.ts` — artist endpoints (`getArtists`, `getArtist`,
`getArtistInfo`, `getTopSongs`, `getSimilarSongs2`,
`getSimilarSongs`). Uses Library's `filterSongsToActiveLibrary` and
`similarSongsRequestCount` for the per-library scoping fallback.
- `subsonicRatings.ts` — `parseSubsonicEntityStarRating` parser plus
`prefetchArtistUserRatings` and `prefetchAlbumUserRatings` workers
with the shared 7-min cache. Calls back into Library/Artists for
the per-id fetch.
51 external call sites migrated to direct imports. No re-export
shims in `subsonic.ts`. Statistics endpoints still in `subsonic.ts`
keep their `RATING_CACHE_TTL` constant locally (same 7-min window).
subsonic.ts: 1078 → 762 LOC (−316).
First Phase F slice. Splits the 1333-LOC `api/subsonic.ts` along its
two most obvious axes:
- `subsonicTypes.ts` — all ~24 exported interfaces + type aliases
(album/song/artist/playlist/directory/genre/now-playing/radio,
random-songs filters, three statistics shapes, search + starred
results, AlbumInfo, structured-lyrics types, etc.) plus the
`RADIO_PAGE_SIZE` constant.
- `subsonicClient.ts` — token-auth + `getClient` + `api<T>()` +
`libraryFilterParams` + `secureRandomSalt` / `getAuthParams` /
`SUBSONIC_CLIENT`. The credential-bearing API helpers
(`pingWithCredentials`, `apiWithCredentials`, `restBaseFromUrl`,
`probeInstantMixWithCredentials`) stay in `subsonic.ts` for now —
they could move into the client module in a follow-up.
66 external call sites migrated to direct imports from the new
modules (no re-export shims in `subsonic.ts`). Pure code-move;
contract test stays green.
subsonic.ts: 1333 → 1078 LOC (−255).
* wip(home): Lossless rail + dedicated /lossless-albums page
Rail under Home > mostPlayed and a dedicated infinite-scroll page that
list albums whose tracks are tagged in lossless containers. Walks
Navidrome's native /api/song?_sort=bit_depth&_order=DESC, dedupes by
albumId on the way down, stops when the song stream crosses into lossy
(bitDepth==0) or the server runs out of rows. _filters has no operators
on quality columns, so a sort + walk is the only path; equality on
sample_rate / bit_depth probes returned empty (verified).
The page paginates through the song-cursor with an in-flight ref so
overlapping IntersectionObserver fires don't double-add albums, plus a
cancelled flag so React StrictMode's double-mount doesn't apply two
parallel result sets in dev.
Suffix allowlist excludes ambiguous wrappers — m4a/m4b can be ALAC
*or* AAC and Navidrome's response carries an empty codec field, so we
can't tell them apart; same story for wma. Allowlist is flac, wav,
aiff/aif, dsf/dff, ape, wv, shn, tta — containers that are only
lossless. ALAC-in-m4a setups will miss out, acceptable trade-off
without a reliable codec field.
Status: WIP. Settings home-customizer label and en.ts strings landed,
no other locales yet, no quality badge on AlbumCards across the rest of
the app, no CHANGELOG. Branch was 'feat/home-hires-rail' during the
earlier hi-res-only iteration before the lossless broadening.
* wip(home): Lossless page header parity + streaming + sidebar nav
Page header now mirrors All Albums: selection mode with three action
buttons (Enqueue Selected, Add Offline, Download ZIPs) wired to the
same handlers Albums.tsx uses, selection-counter title swap, and the
perfFlags.disableMainstageStickyHeader respect path. Filters were
intentionally skipped — the rail is sorted by bit_depth, mixing client-
side filters with server-driven pagination would produce gaps.
Loading feels noticeably faster: ndListLosslessAlbumsPage takes an
optional onProgress callback that fires once per internal fetch with
the entries discovered in that fetch, so the page can stream new
albums into state instead of waiting on the whole loadMore. Page-side
budget dropped from 5×200 to 2×100 songs per loadMore (~1 MB worst
case vs 5 MB before), since the rail's catch-em-all pass is wrong for
infinite-scroll UX. Subtitle under the page title primes the user that
this is slower than other album pages because Psysonic walks the song
catalog by quality (Navidrome ignores _fields, so per-song responses
ship with lyrics + tags + participants whether we want them or not).
Sidebar nav entry registered under 'losslessAlbums' with a Gem icon,
defaults to visible:false (matches composers / folderBrowser /
deviceSync — niche browsing modes). Existing users get the entry
appended at the end of their persisted sidebar list automatically via
the onRehydrateStorage merge that sidebarStore already runs for new
DEFAULT_SIDEBAR_ITEMS.
i18n: full coverage across all 8 locales for sidebar.losslessAlbums,
home.losslessAlbums, losslessAlbums.empty, losslessAlbums.unsupported
and the new losslessAlbums.slowFetchHint subtitle. ru/zh are
machine-translation quality, flagged for a polish pass.
* feat(home): default Lossless sidebar entry to visible
Flips the DEFAULT_SIDEBAR_ITEMS entry for `losslessAlbums` from false
to true. Existing installs keep whatever the user has in persisted
storage; fresh installs see the entry in the sidebar from the start.
Earlier wip commit defaulted it off (matched composers / folderBrowser
/ deviceSync as a niche browse mode), but the rail + page do show
something useful for any library with at least one FLAC/WAV/etc. album,
so off-by-default just hid the feature.
* docs: changelog entry for PR #506
Logs the Lossless Albums rail + page + sidebar entry in v1.46.0
"## Added".
* docs(settings): contributor entry for PR #506
Adds the Lossless Albums rail/page bullet to Psychotoxical's
contributions list.
* feat(home): mix recently-played + starred into Because-you-like anchor pool
Anchor pool was sourced only from getAlbumList(frequent), so the rotation
cursor walked the same eight top-played artists no matter how varied the
rest of the listening history was. Round-robin merge of mostPlayed,
recentlyPlayed and starred (dedup by artistId) means each mount can land
on a different listening *mode* — heavy rotation, current focus, or
explicit favorites — instead of stepping through the same top-played
sequence.
Pool size 8 -> 12 to let the cursor visit all three modes before
wrapping. Visibility guard widened so the rail still renders when the
server has no frequent-play data yet but starred or recent items exist.
Zero new API calls — all three lists are already in Home's initial
fetch.
* fix(home): drop orphan 3rd Because-card in 2-col range, keep all 3 stacked on mobile
auto-fit grid wraps to 2 cols between 696-1051px container width, which
left the third card alone on a second row at 1080p. Container query
hides the 3rd card only inside that 2-col band; on wider screens the
full 3-up row stays, on narrow viewports (single column) all three
cards stack vertically as expected.
* docs(changelog): Because-you-listened seed pool + 1080p layout polish (PR #493)
* docs(changelog): fold PR #493 refinements into the existing Because-you-listened entry
Drop the separate Changed section entry — the feature is in the same
1.46.0 release window as PR #489, so readers want a single description
of the final behaviour, not "added X, then changed X" for the same
release. PR reference becomes "PRs #489, #493".
* feat(home): "Because you listened" recommendation rail
New Home rail (under Recently Added, default on, toggleable in Settings →
Personalisation → Home Page) that surfaces 3 albums from artists similar
to one of your top-played artists. Anchor rotates per Home mount so a
different top-artist seeds the recommendations each visit; within each
anchor, both the similar-artist subset and the chosen album per artist
are randomised, so the same anchor returns different picks on subsequent
visits.
Card layout matches the regular Album cards' surface (--bg-card with
accent-tinted border + 1px inset top highlight) and gets the same
Play / Enqueue hover overlay buttons. Cover and meta scale via CSS only
— no infinite animations, no filter/blur/transform, no compositing
layers. Grid wraps below 3-up at <400px card width instead of shrinking.
API budget: one getArtistInfo2 + 6 parallel getArtist calls per Home
mount, both reusing the existing mostPlayed payload to derive the anchor
pool (no extra API call to find top artists). All 8 locales seeded.
* fix(home): ru plurals + per-server anchor + narrower card grid
- ru: add _few / _many for becauseYouLikeTracks (CLDR Russian needs
4 forms — 3 треков was wrong, now 3 трека).
- Anchor rotation memory is now per-server. The localStorage key
becomes psysonic_because_anchor:<serverId>; switching servers no
longer aliases server A's rotation onto server B's pool.
- because-card grid minmax(400px, 1fr) -> minmax(340px, 1fr) so two
cards fit side by side at typical sidebar-expanded widths instead
of collapsing to a single card per row.
* docs: CHANGELOG + Contributors entry for Because-you-listened rail (PR #489)
* style(home): blurred cover backdrop + centred layout for Because-cards
- Each Because-card renders the album cover as a blurred, low-opacity
full-bleed background layer behind the existing cover thumb and text.
Resolved through useCachedUrl so the cache layer feeds it (same key
as the thumbnail) instead of a fresh salted URL on every render.
- Card content (cover thumb + text block) now centred horizontally and
vertically within the card; the meta line lives in a small pill that
sits centred under the artist row.
- Text contrast halo and meta-pill background are theme-aware via
color-mix on var(--bg-card) / var(--text-primary), so the same rules
read on dark and light themes (was hard-coded rgba black before and
smudged the type on Latte / Nord Snowstorm).
* Enhance CachedImage and ArtistDetail components with improved image caching and priority handling
- Refactor CachedImage to utilize a priority system for image loading based on viewport visibility, improving performance during scrolling.
- Update useCachedUrl to accept an optional getPriority function for better cache management.
- Optimize ArtistDetail and Artists components by using useMemo for cover art URLs, reducing redundant calculations and improving rendering efficiency.
- Adjust image loading logic in CachedImage to ensure smoother transitions and avoid unnecessary fetch requests.
* perf(ui): unblock IDB cover art, stabilize mainstage rails and virtual lists
Let IndexedDB reads bypass the network concurrency slot so cached thumbnails
paint without queueing behind remote fetches; debounce disk eviction during
heavy scrolling.
Fix mainstage horizontal rails: dedupe album/song ids for React keys, widen
artwork budget overscan, avoid resetting the budget on list append, and raise
Home initial artwork budgets. CachedImage treats already-decoded images as
loaded; rail cards load cover images eagerly.
Refresh dynamic color extraction and extend virtual scrolling / scroll roots on
Albums, Artists, Playlists, and related surfaces.
Remove local agent-only commit instructions from the repository tree.
* perf(virtual): viewport-based overscan for main scroll lists
Drive TanStack Virtual overscan from measured scroll height so each list
renders about one screen of extra rows above and below the viewport for
snappier scrolling on Albums, Artists (list mode), and Tracks virtual song list.
Introduce useResizeClientHeight helpers (ID + ref) for ResizeObserver-based
clientHeight tracking.
* docs(changelog): note PR #468 UI cover cache, rails, and virtual lists
Add a coarse summary under 1.46.0 Changed for cover-art pipeline,
mainstage rails, viewport-based overscan, and library/chrome polish.
* feat(linux): optional native GDK for Nix gdk-session
Introduce PSYSONIC_ALLOW_NATIVE_GDK so main skips the default GDK_BACKEND=x11
pin when the Nix gdk-session wrapper sets the flag. Remove GDK_BACKEND from
the npm tauri:dev script so it does not override nix develop defaults.
* fix(ui): portal server switch menu above sidebar
Main column stacks below the sidebar (layout z-index), so an in-tree dropdown
could never win over the left nav. Render the menu via createPortal to
document.body with fixed coordinates, matching the library scope picker.
* feat(perf): add mainstage probe controls and cut WebKit repaint load
Add a dedicated performance probe surface for mainstage/home toggles and wire Linux CPU diagnostics to isolate expensive UI paths. Tune waveform drawing and Home artwork clipping/windowing so visible content loads immediately while reducing WebKit compositor pressure during playback.
* fix(perf): stop hero rotation when section is off-screen
Gate hero auto-rotation and backdrop crossfade by real viewport visibility using the actual scrolling ancestor. This prevents periodic 10-second CPU spikes from hidden hero updates while preserving normal behavior when the hero is visible.
* fix(perf): isolate player progress updates from mainstage diagnostics
Add probe toggles for PlayerBar waveform and live progress UI updates to confirm playback progress churn as the main CPU driver.
Restore Home artwork quality defaults and keep visual-degradation modes opt-in via debug flags only.
* fix(hero): resume background and autoplay after viewport return
Re-check hero visibility on focus/visibility changes and add a short recovery poll while off-screen so missed scroll/RAF events cannot leave hero animation paused.
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
* fix(perf): decouple playback progress from mainstage compositing pressure
Throttle audio progress delivery and route live seekbar timing through a lightweight progress channel to cut focus-time WebKit CPU spikes.
Add focused diagnostics in Performance Probe and restore hero/waveform behavior so visuals remain stable while profiling.
* fix(debug): open performance probe with Ctrl+Shift+D
Replace logo-triggered opening with a keyboard shortcut and keep logo purely decorative to avoid accidental probe activation.
* docs(changelog): document experiment/performance probe and playback work
Add an [Unreleased] section for the performance probe, throttled audio
progress IPC, snapshot-based live UI updates, WaveformSeek scheduling
over the same canvas bar renderer, Hero/Home rail fixes, and Linux/Nix
GDK dev ergonomics.
* perf(linux): add WebKit probe, throttle progress IPC, snapshot playback UI
Ship Performance Probe (Ctrl+Shift+D), Rust-throttled audio:progress, a
playback progress snapshot channel with coarse Zustand timeline commits,
Linux /proc CPU readout for the probe, Hero and Home rail artwork fixes,
Tracks SongRail windowing parity, MPRIS cleanup, gated perf counters, and
WaveformSeek paused-seek correctness. Documented in CHANGELOG for PR #452.
* docs(changelog): fold perf work into 1.45.0 and refresh date
Drop the separate 1.45.1 heading; keep PR #452 notes under 1.45.0 Added and
set the section date to 2026-05-04. Restore the safety preface before the
versioned sections.
* docs(changelog): order 1.45.0 Added entries by PR number
Sort the 1.45.0 release notes so subsections follow ascending PR id (390
through 452), with PR #452 last.

Reuses the SongRail component from the Tracks hub — 18 random songs
fetched in parallel with the other Home queries. No reroll button.
Click-to-play uses enqueueAndPlay so the existing queue stays intact.
New homeStore section id 'discoverSongs' inserted after 'discover'
in DEFAULT_HOME_SECTIONS. onRehydrateStorage now appends any newly
introduced sections to a previously persisted layout — existing users
get the rail without a manual Reset. Settings → Personalisation
Home-Customizer surfaces it automatically via SECTION_LABELS.
i18n key home.discoverSongs added to all 8 locales.
Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds activeServerId to the Home useEffect dependencies so a server
switch triggered while the user is already on the Mainstage refetches
albums/artists instead of leaving stale covers (which broke against the
new server's cover URLs).
Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replaces two sidebar entries (Random Mix, Random Albums) with a single 'Build a Mix' item (Wand2 icon) at /random. Landing page shows two cards — Mix by Tracks and Mix by Albums — with glow-on-hover. Old routes updated throughout. All 7 locales updated.
Apply the same per-axis star cutoff to random mix (multi-batch fetch until
full), random albums, Hero, and Home hero/discover rows. Prefetch artist and
album ratings via Subsonic when list payloads omit them. Exclude items when
0 < rating ≤ threshold; 0 or missing counts as unrated.
Settings: rating filter description interpolates sidebar menu labels; Russian
strings for custom title bar; short axis labels aligned across locales.
- New authStore field useCustomTitlebar (default: true)
- set_window_decorations Tauri command toggles native decorations at runtime
- Settings toggle visible only on Linux (no restart required)
- i18n keys added to EN + DE

Apply musicFolderId across Subsonic requests, bump a filter version so library views reload, and add a fixed-position sidebar dropdown (with capped height when there are many folders).
### Added
- Favorite/Star button in player bar (requested by @halfkey)
- Bulk multi-select for album tracklist and playlist detail (add to playlist, remove from playlist)
- Song Info modal via right-click context menu (metadata: format, bitrate, sample rate, bit depth, channels, file size, path, replay gain)
- Recently Played section on Home page
- "Show activity in Now Playing" opt-in toggle in Settings → Behavior
### Fixed
- Queue cover art not updating on track change (useCachedUrl/CachedImage reset on cacheKey change)
- FullscreenPlayer background flickering (FsBg preloads image before layer transition)
- Playlist card delete confirmation visual (size expansion + pulse animation)
- Gruvbox Light Soft: back button and badge invisible against light background
### Changed
- buildStreamUrl: removed unused suffix parameter
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- PlayerBar redesigned: canvas waveform seekbar (500 bars, blue→mauve gradient + glow) replaces thin slider; new flex layout; queue toggle moved to content header (consistent with sidebar pattern)
- MilkDrop visualizer in Ambient Stage via Butterchurn; hidden audio analysis, preset shuffle, smooth blend transitions
- Tracklist: animated EQ bars for playing track, play icon when paused, align-items: center fix
- Artist pages: Last.fm + Wikipedia open in native Tauri WebviewWindow (in-app browser)
- Hero/Discover deduplication: single fetch of 20 random albums split between sections
- Update checker: runs every 10 minutes during runtime; version shown without v-prefix
- Settings version: now read from package.json instead of hardcoded
- Help page: new Random Mix section, updated Playback + Library sections, improved accordion styling
- Bump version to 1.3.0
