From the controller-mode debug session. All peer-facing paths gate on
is_peer_renderer_active, so renderer / local / disconnected playback is
unaffected.
- Now-playing bar + queue follow the peer authoritatively: reflect the peer's
current track / position / volume, refresh on the peer's track changes, and
fetch a fresh renderer state on becoming a controller (so the bar isn't stale
until the next track change; this also fixed remote pause, which had been
sending a stale current_queue_item).
- Route play-next / add-to-queue (single track) to the peer via
QueueInsertTracks / QueueAddTracks (insert-after the peer's current item);
multi-track album/playlist enqueue stays local for now. Clear the superseded
SetVolume pending to stop the volume-drag command spam.
- Clean disconnect: disarm the liveness watchdog + clear the device list / cast
state, so no spurious "renderer unreachable" toast and no lingering badge.
- Volume lock only for local ALSA-Direct bit-perfect (backend Alsa + plugin Hw),
lifted while controlling; reflect the peer's volume with a 50% safety clamp
when unknown.
- Connect button golden whenever a session is on; +2px now-playing bar height.

Shell & navigation:
- Three-state sidebar (open/mini/closed); collapse cycles via header button.
- Section nav as right-flyouts (sidebar) + compact header nav (closed) +
full header tabs (nav-in-sidebar off), via a shared HeaderMenuOverlay.
- Collapsed-folder right-flyout popup (max 4 + scrollbar), Rust-populated.
- Thin auto-hiding sidebar scrollbar pinned to the edge (Flickable, drag-safe).
- Slack-style bezel: rounded inset content panel over surface-card chrome.
- Header restructure: nav buttons, window-centered search, app menu.
Themes & components:
- Live theme switching: Dark / OLED Black / Tokyo Night / System (std-widgets).
- SegmentedTabBar (Discovery-style) with count badges for Library + Local Library.
- MP3 quality-badge tier (format-first classification) across badges.
- QbzSelect (Group/Sort) trimmed 20px.
Behavior fixes:
- Artist + Local Library Folder cover art now reach the rendered (visible/
grouped) models, not just the source set.
- Favorites Playlists/Labels random buttons.
- Playlist track click plays from the clicked track in visible order.
- Dropdown idle-close pauses while the cursor rests on the menu.
cc
Polish + consistency:
- Compact playlist header (cover 150px; nav->header spacing
homologated with AlbumView); description truncated to ~2 lines +
"Read more" modal; custom-artwork buttons only on cover hover.
- New Typography.section (18px) token for hero/section titles,
applied across Album / Artist / Mix / Playlist + Home carousels.
- Shorter track rows app-wide (50px row, 36px artwork, -1 fonts);
+3px column-header/divider gap; wider track-number column.
- Reusable ExpandableSearch (the JumpNavBar page-search pattern:
magnifier -> opens left -> X to close) in the playlist action row.
- Custom ListScrollbar (thicker, min thumb height, own gutter) since
Slint's ListView scrollbar can't be styled.
Sort:
- Default / Title / Artist / Album / Duration with asc/desc per
field, plus Custom (manual order persisted in library.db with
up/down reorder). Client-side search + sort combined.
WIP: track drag-and-drop onto sidebar playlists
- DragState/DragActions globals, drag source on the shared TrackRow,
follow-cursor DragGhost, sidebar playlist rows self-detect the drop
via absolute-position, multi-select group drag, add_tracks_to_playlist
on drop, Flickables freeze scroll during a drag.
- KNOWN ISSUE: the ghost is offset from the cursor (the row
absolute-position + pointer mapping is off, esp. inside Flickables).
Diagnostic logging is left in (TrackRow debug() + a start log) to
pin down the wrong term before the generic fix.

Two text-side refinements to the artist + album views.
Typography:
- Bumps every scale level by 1px so body text reads at 15px instead
of 14px (legal 13, link 14, body/subtitle 15, button 17, heading
19, title 25, wordmark 29). All views adopt the new scale through
the existing tokens — the artist + album descriptions feel
noticeably more readable without per-component overrides.
strip_html (new shared module `crates/qbz-slint/src/strip_html.rs`):
- Single implementation now used by both album::map_album and
artist::map_artist for editorial copy (reviews, biographies).
The previous album-local helper handled only <br> and </p>; the
artist-local helper handled neither, so multi-paragraph
biographies collapsed into one wall of text.
- <br>, <br/>, <br /> (any case + spacing) -> \n. </p>, </P> ->
\n\n. Stripped tags like <strong>, <em>, <a> still leave their
text inline. (Slint's `Text` is single-style, so true inline
bold/italic isn't possible without splitting into multiple Text
elements — deferred.)
- Broader entity table: amp/lt/gt/quot/apos/nbsp/copy/reg/mdash/
ndash/hellip/curly quotes plus numeric copy variants.
- Runs of 3+ newlines collapse to a paragraph break so stacked tags
don't blow the layout open. Unit tests for each path.
cc
Restructure the QueueState global so the sidebar can render two tabs and
a paginated upcoming list: separate now-playing / upcoming-page / history
properties, paginator counters, tab and search state, and callbacks for
every control. QueueItem gains duration and explicit fields. Adds a
favorite semantic color token and the heart-filled, infinity and list-x
icons the sidebar needs.
cc
Dropdown and context menus now sit on the content background
(surface-main) with a more defined border (border-muted, ~22% white)
instead of the elevated surface plus hairline border, so the popover
edge reads cleanly against the content instead of looking coarse.
cc
NowPlayingBar (start of the playback-bar work):
- height raised to 110px
- SeekBar component: three-line track (total / cached / progress), a
hover thumb, elapsed/remaining times, and a hover time bubble with a
downward caret marking the seek position
- song card: background and border dropped, gains the extra height,
album/artist links and the context icon kept (context icon now
always shown)
- transport + secondary buttons copied from Tauri (shuffle, prev,
play, next, repeat, add, favorite; cast, picture-in-picture,
fullscreen, normalization; volume cluster). Queue/Lyrics stay in the
header — and the header now orders them lyrics-then-queue.
Settings constraints (1:1 with Tauri):
- Exclusive Mode enabled only on ALSA; DAC Passthrough only on
PipeWire; Lock Output Device disabled while DAC Passthrough is on;
Gapless disabled while Streaming Only is on
- backend change cascades: forces off DAC passthrough / force-bit-
perfect / exclusive / gapless as appropriate; DAC-passthrough and
streaming-only cascades; initial-buffer slider right-aligned
Discover fixes:
- navigation [<] [>] pair homologated to the same top/left margin
across every view
- album/artist description moved back into the metadata column (it now
fills the width there) with uniform secondary text color
- genre filter button hugs its label instead of stretching
- Recently Played Albums and Tracks modules always render, with a
placeholder until the play history has data
- wider spacing between Discover rows; the Discover gear is no longer
a Settings shortcut (it is the per-tab sort/show-hide control)
cc
Clicking an album card opens the album detail view: a back button,
the album header (224px artwork, title, artist, and info line — year,
label, genre, track count, duration — plus play / shuffle / favorite /
more action buttons), and the track list with a column header (#,
title, artist, duration, quality).
- album.rs: fetches the album via QbzCore::get_album, maps it (info
line, per-track quality tier, durations) onto the AlbumState global,
and loads the header artwork through the shared image cache.
- AlbumPageView.slint, with NavState driving the shell content region
between Home and the album page.
- Album clicks bubble AlbumCard -> Carousel -> HomeView -> AppShell ->
AppWindow -> main; the back button returns to Home.

M1 progress. Adds the post-login shell: HeaderBar (nav tabs and
search), Sidebar (playlists list and user card), PlayerBar (transport,
now-playing, volume), and AppShell composing them with the content
region as a placeholder.
app.slint gains an AppScreen enum; clicking sign-in or start-offline
navigates login -> shell (no real auth yet — that is M2). New layout
foundation tokens (sidebar width, header/player-bar heights) plus
border and hover semantic colors.
cc
M1 progress. Adds the foundation token layer (palette, semantic
colors, spacing, radius, typography) bound to the QBZ dark theme,
three primitives (QbzCheckbox, QbzPrimaryButton, QbzTextLink), and
the LoginScreen feature component.
The login screen mirrors the Svelte LoginView: centered card, logo,
QBZ wordmark, Qobuz ToS checkbox, "Sign in via Browser" button,
system-browser and offline links, and the legal disclaimer. Colors
are lifted verbatim from src/app.css; strings use @tr() markers.
Rust side: typed AppCommand enum; UI callbacks dispatch through it.
M2 wires the command handler to AppRuntime.
