Smoke round 2 (owner feedback: content area was an opaque black slab, motion
imperceptible, ambient≈blurred).
- Content-area sweep: 27 content-view roots go transparent when the app
background is active (was opaque Theme.surface-main covering the background) —
Home/Discover/Album/Artist/Search-adjacent/Favorites/Playlist/LocalLibrary/
MyQBZ/managers/etc. Content well (AppShell) transparent too.
- SongCard (NPB classic), search input box, cortinilla panel go translucent so
they stop reading as opaque slabs over the background.
- ambient.wgsl: much faster + bigger blob travel + stronger domain warp +
brighter/more saturated so the flow is obviously moving and clearly distinct
from the blurred-art mode.
- Defaults: dim 0.35, surface-alpha 0.5.
Checkpoint during smoke iteration (owner-requested). Base: 76ea5a82.

Persist the Wayland app_id (set_xdg_app_id) and window geometry/maximized across
tray-hide and miniplayer round-trips so the pinned taskbar icon keeps grouping
and the size/position survive (#618); route the single-instance raise and MPRIS
Raise through a miniplayer-aware present() plus a dedicated D-Bus Present method.
Seed the Local Library Plex refresh button after login (not before, when the
per-user store is unbound). Also the shared wiring these features need in
main.rs / state.slint / app.slint / home.rs / artwork.rs (pinned globals + store
seed + mixed-artwork target, playlist-browse nav, sub-genre reload) and the
bundled i18n strings.
cc
Adds a compact dropdown in the Library Albums (favoriteAlbums) row header, left of the page chevrons: Recently added (default), First added (reverse), Random (shuffle). Reorders the cached base list in Rust with no re-fetch and re-fires artwork by the new index. Also corrects the stale HomeView comment that claimed the recently-played refresh lives in the toolbar (it is a row-header button). 8 locales updated.
cc
Home's recently-played albums/tracks only populated on a full home load, so
tracks played mid-session never appeared until restart. Re-read the LOCAL
store into the rails when a track is recorded while Home is visible, and on
Home re-mount if it went dirty — event-driven, no polling, cheap (small JSON
read + cached artwork). Also add a manual refresh button in each recently-
played row header next to the page chevrons (moved off the top toolbar, where
it crowded the discovery tab bar).
cc
The rail's 'View all' opens a dedicated page listing the recently
played albums (the dedicated album history from the #567 fix, cap 24).
Built on the AwardAlbumsView skeleton stripped to essentials: fixed
header + windowed AlbumCollectionView wired per the new sampler
contract, scroll-restore, shared scrollbar. Works offline (local
history — the AppShell arm deliberately skips the offline gate) with
mixed-source rows routing through the existing open-album funnel
(qobuz/plex/local) and source-split artwork dispatch mirroring the
rail's. Full nav integration: NavEntry::RecentAlbums round-trips
through last_nav so view persistence restores it (a local JSON read —
cannot crash-loop), ADR-004 back button via the standard record +
navigate + flags shape. Zero new msgids — title, empty state and the
View-all link all reuse existing strings across the 8 locales.
cc
Two Home bugs, one dropped port. #566: four configurator sections
(favoriteAlbums 'Library Albums', qobuzMixes, releaseWatch, topArtists)
were offered and persisted but had no HomeView render arm and no data
in load_home — enabling them produced an invisible row. All four were
genuine Tauri-Home features (DiscoveryView.svelte arms :632/:653/:660/
:666, loaded unconditionally), so this is the full port, not a trim:
own HomeState fields (separate lifecycle from ForYouState), shared
foryou fetch pipelines (favorite_album_cards / fetch_release_watch /
top_artist_cards extracted pub(crate), For You behavior untouched),
Home-scoped artwork targets, and HomeView arms mirroring ForYouView.
load_home joins the three fetches concurrently with the index — zero
added latency. A HOME_RENDERABLE guard next to descriptors_for is now
the single source of truth: an enabled id without a render arm can
never emit an invisible descriptor again.
#567: 'Recently Played Albums' starved because albums derived from the
24-track history (long albums collapse to ~4 distinct). recently.rs
now keeps a separate album history (dedupe by id at record time, own
24 cap) with additive migration from the legacy bare-array format;
tracks keep their cap; load()/load_albums() signatures unchanged.
Zero new msgids (all three titles reuse For You's). qbz-app tests
10/10; slintcheck green.

Surface the new Recommendations tab everywhere Discover sub-sections are listed,
and make it opt-out.
- Flyouts: the sidebar section-nav flyout and both header nav flyouts (full text
+ compact icon) now list "Recommendations" alongside Home / Editor's Picks /
For You. The Rust route handler already maps "discover-recommendations"
(strip_prefix + select_tab + ensure_loaded), so no routing change was needed.
- Opt-out: a show_recommendations flag (default on) persisted in the per-user
discover-prefs store (qbz_app), seeded into SettingsState on session start.
Settings > Integrations gains a "Show Recommendations in Discover" toggle whose
description nudges connecting Last.fm + ListenBrainz (MusicBrainz is used
automatically to match releases). Off => the tab pill and every flyout entry
disappear.
- Gating uses two mounted instances per flyout (one with the entry, one without)
because Slint can't type-infer [NavMenuEntry] from a ternary of array literals;
the HomeView pill uses a plain if.
cargo check -p qbz green.

Adds "Recommendations" as a 4th Discover tab (alongside Home / Editor's Picks /
For You), rendering the qbz-external-reco engine output. NOT part of For You.
- ui: new ExternalRecoState global + ExternalRecoView (4 personalized carousels
C1-C4 with length>0 self-hide gates + the editorial cold-start rows), 4th tab
pill button in HomeView, mount on active-tab == "recommendations", skeleton
gate. Export the global from app.slint.
- bin: external_reco controller — RecoCatalog over QbzCore, per-user resolution
cache lifecycle, LocalHistory from reco_store (known artists + recent plays),
scrobbler-username gate (is_authed), build + apply into ExternalRecoState
(models built on the UI thread; slint::Image is !Send) + artwork jobs.
- bin: 6 ArtworkTarget variants + resolution arms; reco::recent_track_ids
wrapper; home::select_tab + discover_prefs::push_descriptors treat the new tab
like For You (own view, Home/Editor pushed empty); lazy-load hooks at the tab
click + both Discover nav-restore sites.
cargo check -p qbz green. Last.fm reads still need the proxy allowedMethods
deploy (separate qbz-api-proxy repo) before they return data.
cc
Slint cannot split the .slint compilation across crates, but a Slint LIBRARY
crate exposes its generated Rust types to dependent crates (verified with a
minimal proof). So:
- NEW crate `qbz-ui` (lib): owns the whole .slint tree + build.rs + bundled
translations; `slint::include_modules!()` + the generated types (AppWindow,
MiniPlayerWindow, all globals/structs) are re-exported. Translation domain is
now `qbz-ui` (the .po files renamed accordingly).
- `qbz-slint` (bin) -> renamed to `qbz` (package + `[[bin]] name = "qbz"`),
reclaiming the binary name from the retired Tauri app. It depends on `qbz-ui`
and does `pub use qbz_ui::*;` so existing `crate::AppWindow` / `crate::*State`
references resolve unchanged.
This splits the single ~20 GB rustc into two crates (UI/codegen vs the 75k LOC
of logic) — the foundation for lower build peak, incremental caching, and the
upcoming per-feature crate extraction.
Also fixed for the move: qbz-i18n bundled-.po include paths, the font/WGSL
`include_bytes!`/`include_str!` paths (-> ../../qbz-ui/ui/), workspace members,
dev scripts (`-p qbz`), and the CI workflows. `cargo check -p qbz` is green.
