vicrodh 81c43a114e fix(qt): glyph colours follow the theme, on light palettes and on accent fills
Two defects with one cause: a tint name that means a frozen hex.

"primary" is the legacy alias of literal #ffffff, not Theme.text-primary,
so every control passing it drew a white glyph. On the eleven light
themes that is white-on-light -- the header back/forward chevrons, the
sidebar toggle and the carousel arrows the owner marked. They now pass
the theme-following names, which icon_tint_qt bakes at runtime.

The stale `hslLightness > 0.5 ? "primary" : "black"` workarounds that
predate the runtime tinter collapse into those names, and the qrc floor
underneath them becomes polarity-aware: dir_for() returns "" whenever
the cache dir is unavailable, a bake fails or the theme document has not
been published, and that path used to resolve textPrimary straight back
to the white bake -- reproducing the bug it was fixing, app-wide, in the
degraded state.

On accent fills the fix is a deviation from Slint, approved by the owner
after measurement. A fixed white glyph on Theme.accent falls under 2.6:1
on 16 of the 35 shipped palettes, including high-contrast at 1.70:1 and
wcag-dark at 1.82:1 -- the two themes whose reason to exist is contrast.
Slint hardcodes #ffffff there (CircleAction.slint:72 and three others),
so the bug is upstream. accentText alone is not the answer either: it is
picked for the theme's text ramp and gives 2.56:1 on Rose Pine Dawn,
worse than the black it replaces. So QbzTheme picks the best-contrast
tint by real sRGB luminance against the live accent, and the labels
beside those glyphs use its colour twin -- BrowseGenreButton and
LibraryView were drawing a white glyph next to an accentText label
inside the same pill.

Rounds out the two parity items the same files owe: QbzNavButton gains
the ambient arm from Carousel.slint (wired at the six carousel sites,
not left dead), and QbzCircleAction rounds its glyph to whole pixels the
way CircleAction.slint does.

vicrodh 9ab3d7db96 fix(qbz-qt): local albums route to the local view, and the detail-page parity round
**The empty album view.** Opening a local album from Library "All" landed on a
blank page. The mixed feed hands Qobuz and local albums to the SAME card, and
the card always called the catalog open — so a local id, which is a group key
or a filesystem path, went to /album/get and came back 404. It was in the
owner's log before this round as `get_album(/mnt/nas/…) returned 404`; what
changed is that clearing the stale document turned "shows the previous album"
into "shows nothing", which is how it surfaced. Routing now happens in
open_album itself, using the predicate the feed already uses to route
favourites, so every call site is covered at once instead of card by card.

**Header atmosphere.** Both detail pages get Slint's two-band gradient, tinted
from THIS page's artwork through the ported header_tint — not the now-playing
ambient triad, which is a different subject with a different algorithm.

**Artist page.** The catalog/library toggle existed but was broken: a
hand-rolled copy of the shared tab bar whose delegate walked the wrong parent
chain, so it threw on every evaluation and never took its active colours. It
now mounts the shared control. Added the JUMP TO label, the tab-strip search
with the client-side filter it drives, and the year under release-section
albums. The Network panel ran the full window height and never auto-opened; it
is bounded below the tab strip now and opens unless the content is constrained,
as Slint does. The action circles were the wrong size with the wrong glyph
colour and no overlay arm — which would have left them dark-on-dark once the
gradient landed.

**Quality in track rows.** The column rendered a bare tier; it carries the
badge now, in the one shared row component every surface mounts. playlist_qt
was the only producer not emitting the bit-depth line.

**Skeletons hand over instead of disappearing.** They cleared when the PATH
arrived, but the image still had to load and rasterize after that, so the
placeholder vanished and left an empty cell. They now wait for the image to be
ready.

**Local covers.** Most local covers ARE already the scanner's thumbnail, but
re-hashing their path produced a different filename, so each one was decoded,
resized to its own size and re-encoded into a duplicate before being shown.
That was most of the wait.

vicrodh f3a33245b2 feat(qbz-qt): staged loading, skeletons everywhere, lyrics, gestures, richer menus
**Deferred external rows.** The album page awaited the Last.fm row before
publishing anything, so the tracklist waited on an external service plus
MusicBrainz. It publishes in stages now — header and tracks first, then each
Qobuz rail as it lands, then Last.fm — with every patch merged under a
generation counter so a late reply for album A cannot paint onto album B. The
artist page was already staged this way; its views were the part still showing
bare "Loading…" text.

**Skeletons as the standard.** One control, new variants rather than new
components, mounted across the views. Its second job is the one the owner
named: cleanup. A cover that never resolves settles the placeholder once and
reveals the card's own empty state instead of shimmering forever — local albums
with no embedded art produce no artwork entry at all, so a placeholder gated
only on "not arrived yet" would never stop.

**Local artwork streams.** Fifteen seconds to first cover on a 1274-album grid
was one batch emitted after the whole window resolved. Each cover emits as it
resolves now, visible band before prefetch margin.

**Lyrics migrated.** Smooth sync instead of a 1 Hz tick, word-level karaoke
where the document carries it, the surrounding-line dimming, the controls
flyout and the translation layer the v10 backend already supported. Exactly one
row subscribes to the 30 Hz output; the timer drops to 250ms when paused or
hidden.

**Navigation by mouse and touchpad.** Side buttons and a two-finger horizontal
swipe, matching #653 — including the part that matters, which is that a swipe
over a carousel scrolls the carousel. The layer is declared first in the shell
so everything else gets first refusal.

**Context menus.** Brought to the Slint inventory, Play later included, with
right-click opening the same menu as the button everywhere. Entries whose seam
does not exist are hidden rather than shipped inert.

Two controls that rendered and no-opped are now honestly disabled: the My QBZ
nav row, which routes to a view the shell has no case for, and three sidebar
menu entries with no backing call.

The sidebar caret was never a condition bug. The row is a positioner and the
name cell's width ignored the count label, so a folder WITH content pushed the
chevron past the clip — which is why it vanished exactly when it mattered.

vicrodh 31b1484c01 feat(qbz-qt): Local Library complete — five tabs, routed album page, Plex
The view had roughly a folder tree and an album grid inside one 1,847-line
file. Slint's is 2,671 lines across five tabs, and the local album detail is a
routed page of its own. This closes that gap and splits the result: the view
becomes a composition root over qml/views/local/ modules, and
local_library_qt.rs becomes a narrow facade over local_* modules by concern.

Plex is wired for real. The port hardcoded the cache path to None, so the union
was local-only and Plex thumbnails were skipped. The settings store binds per
user at session activation, the album and track union includes Plex, thumbnails
resolve through the artwork path, rows carry their source badge, and the manual
re-sync is on the toolbar behind the availability gate — as in Slint.

Tabs: Albums with its quality/format/source filter popup, Tracks paginated,
Folders in both flat and two-pane tree modes, Artists as an A-Z master/detail.
Every list is windowed from the start, artwork id-keyed and evicted, because
16k tracks is exactly where the Slint build freezes.

The tree grows a real select mode with its bulk bar, the ad-hoc "ephemeral
folder" pane plays music that was never indexed, and the album page gets its
version picker — a local album with two physical copies now switches between
them without a database round-trip.

Two agents built the QML and the Rust halves in parallel and the QML called
thirty QbzLocal members that did not exist. QML resolves lazily, so each would
have been a control that renders and does nothing; a static cross-reference
caught them before a build ever ran, and they are implemented here.

Deliberately logged seams, not half-paths: add-to-playlist, add-to-mixtape and
the tag editor have no picker or modal in this port yet, and local favourites
are not wired, so those actions log rather than route a local id into the Qobuz
API. Plex playback downloads the part instead of range-streaming it, which is
Slint's own documented fallback.
