* feat(now-playing): index-first metadata resolvers (#1046) Add nowPlayingMetadataResolve.ts: four index-first resolvers (album, discography, top songs, song meta) that read the local library index when it has the row and fall back to Subsonic only on index miss / off / not ready. Reuses loadAlbumFromLibraryIndex, loadArtistFromLibraryIndex, libraryGetTrack, libraryAdvancedSearch, trackToSong, and libraryIsReady — the same index-first family as queueTrackResolver, not a new network path. getSongForServer keeps its byte-style trackId guard; the index arm runs first so an index hit avoids the guarded call. artistInfo has no index source and stays network-only (not handled here). * feat(now-playing): wire index-first resolvers into fetchers + prewarm (#1046) Replace the four direct Subsonic calls in useNowPlayingFetchers and prewarmNowPlayingFetchers (album, discography, top songs, song meta) with the resolveNp* resolvers — index-first, network fallback. artistInfo stays on getArtistInfoForServer (no index source). Caches, id-gating tuples, and the subsonicFetchAllowed guard are unchanged; the top-songs effect gains artistId in its deps (index arm filters by it). Net: on a populated, ready index those four cards render from SQLite with no Subsonic call; index miss/off/not-ready falls back to the network path exactly as before. * docs: add CHANGELOG entry for PR #1049 * fix(now-playing): widen resolveNpTopSongs artistId to optional (tsc) The top-songs fetch isn't guard-narrowed on artistId, so callers pass string | undefined. The resolver already handles a missing artistId (falls straight to the network arm); widening the param type fixes the CI tsc failure that the wiring commit introduced. * fix(now-playing): run index reads offline + deterministic top songs (#1049 review) Address cucadmuh's two in-PR review points: 1. Index-first reads now run whenever there's a playback server id, including when the server is unreachable — the offline win of index-first. Split the hook/prewarm gate: resolvers run on server-id presence; the reachability guard moved into each resolver's network fallback arm. artistInfo (no index) stays network-only. 2. resolveNpTopSongs derives top songs from the artist's own discography albums (sorted by play_count) instead of an FTS-on-name query, so name collisions can't surface the wrong tracks. getTopSongsForServer remains the fallback. Resolver tests extended with the unreachable (index-only) cases.

What is Psysonic?
Psysonic is a desktop music client for self-hosted music libraries. It is designed for people who want the freedom of their own server without giving up the comfort, polish and speed of a modern music app.
It is built with Rust, Tauri v2 and React, with a strong focus on responsiveness, customization, practical music-library workflows and a user interface that does not require a manual before you can press play.
Psysonic is optimized first and foremost for Navidrome. Other Subsonic-compatible servers can work well too, but advanced features may depend on server-side support.
