apply_renderer_preference gated on var_os("QSG_RHI_BACKEND").is_some(), which
answers YES for a variable that is present with no value. Clearing a variable
rather than unsetting it is the common way to end up there - `QSG_RHI_BACKEND=
./qbz` in a shell, and on Windows PowerShell's SetEnvironmentVariable(name,
$null), which leaves the name present and empty. The whole preference then
stopped applying, the user's persisted Settings choice included, and the only
clue was one info line claiming an explicit backend was present.
Found on the Windows box, where a test harness cleared the variable that way
and the renderer arm silently never ran. It reproduces on Linux the same way;
this is not a platform fix.
QBZ_RENDERER, read a few lines below, has always filtered the empty string.
This applies the same rule to the two Qt variables. The predicate is split
from the lookup so the three new tests exercise it without mutating
process-global env, which would race the other tests in the binary.

Preserve Afonso’s restart regression test while selecting native stores only on Linux, macOS and Windows. Unsupported targets take the persisted KDF path instead of keyring’s successful in-memory mock; the stale workflow change is deliberately excluded.
cx
Preserve Afonso’s same-directory temp-file replacement on top of the configurable cache root from #708. Cover the complete explicit-root round trip and document the exact process-crash and concurrent-writer guarantees.

build-aarch64-linux.sh builds -p qbz-qt natively with the distro's Qt
(gated at >= 6.8, the tree's floor; Debian 13 / Ubuntu 25.04 / Fedora
41 qualify), installs rustup when absent, forces one rustc at a time on
<= 4 GB boxes, and runs the same offscreen smoke as CI. Its CROSS mode
is retired honestly: cxx-qt runs the target Qt's qmake during the
build, which cross-rs's Ubuntu 20.04 images cannot do. The qbzd script
and Cross.toml keep cross-compiling the daemon, with the Qt-free dep
set.

Port the Tauri immediate and accumulated offline policies into the active Qt fire path, retain independent scrobbler sessions across Qobuz logout behind a default-on opt-out, and flush queued Last.fm/ListenBrainz plays only when the effective policy permits it.
cx
Preflight fallible queue transitions and publish now-playing state only after the requested source is audible, leaving the prior stream intact when a file or server is unavailable.
Carry source-owned request headers through remote probes, streaming and fallback downloads without exposing sensitive values.
cx
Preserve per-disc and collection artwork, multi-value genres and remote metadata across Local, Plex, Jellyfin and Subsonic.
Apply source, format and quality filters before pagination, reject invalid CUE rows, and keep Qt library surfaces aligned with the selected physical version.
cx
Keep segmented controls within their visual well, use the active theme for playback indicators, disconnect inactive pulse receivers and improve near-fit song metadata.
cx
Add the chained genre, artist, and album browser with persistent layout and tab ordering. Reuse the shared album semantics for grouped versions and disc-aware details, enforce active source filters, and bound foreground detail work so chained searches stay responsive.
