Track is the app's normalized song model and QueueItemRef its thin queue
identity -- consumed app-wide (queue, cover, context menus, sharing, lucky-mix,
library browse), not a playback-internal detail. They lived in
features/playback/store/playerStoreTypes, forcing ~115 core/feature files to
reach into the playback feature for the central media type.
Move the two interfaces to lib/media/trackTypes; playerStoreTypes keeps
PlayerState and now imports them from lib. 115 importers repointed (mixed
'PlayerState, Track' lines split so PlayerState stays). Pure type move (erased at
runtime). tsc 0, lint 0.
Relocate the playback/queue/transport/audio-output engine out of the type-first
store/ + utils/playback/ + utils/audio/ dirs into a cohesive src/features/playback/,
structure-preserving:
store/<x> -> features/playback/store/<x>
store/audioListenerSetup/<x> -> features/playback/store/audioListenerSetup/<x>
utils/playback/<x> -> features/playback/utils/playback/<x>
utils/audio/<x> -> features/playback/utils/audio/<x>
184 files moved (107 source + 77 tests), 365 consumers rewritten. Pure move — no
behavior change, no state-split (the playerStore state-split stays a separate M5
question). Enabled by this session's decouple seams (artist/offline/orbit/auth →
core registries), so the engine carries no inbound core->feature inversion: store/
now holds only the 50 cross-cutting global stores (auth family, the seams, library
index, UI/settings stores).
KEPT OUT of the move (would re-create global->engine edges): the 3 pure config
helpers utils/audio/{loudnessPreAnalysisSlider,hiResCrossfadeResample} +
utils/playback/autodjOverlapCap (authStore + settings UI read them — they stay in
utils/). Ambiguous view-state stores (eqStore, queueToolbarStore,
playerBarLayoutStore) stay global (no engine imports).
Consumers use DEEP paths (@/features/playback/...), no barrel — matches the lib/
approach and avoids barrel-mock-collapse across the 140 usePlayerStore consumers.
Two tolerated type-only core->feature edges remain (localPlaybackStore->QueueItemRef,
localPlaybackMigration->HotCacheEntry, both erased).
tsc 0, lint 0, full suite 319/2353 green, iron-rule clean (no runtime store->feature
import). Behavior-touching only via the prerequisite bridge seam (already QA-flagged);
the move itself is pure.
Move the Subsonic + Navidrome protocol clients and the library IPC facade
(subsonic*, navidrome*, library.ts + tests) from src/api/ into src/lib/api/,
the feature-free infra layer (plan M4, decision §10.3: shared client core → lib/).
Pure move: deep-path import specifiers @/api/* -> @/lib/api/* across ~150
consumers; no behaviour change. Domain REST (lyrics/events) and cover/analysis
infra stay in src/api/ pending their own M4 placement.
tsc 0, lint 0/0, full suite 319 files / 2353 tests green.
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.
