Plex cover images were fetched full-res on every surface (Slint built the raw
/library/.../thumb URL), where Tauri requests a server-transcoded thumb sized to
the render target. On a real library this made the views feel heavy and starved
the LAN bandwidth that track playback needs.
- qbz-models: ArtworkRef::PlexThumb gains a size: Option<u32>; new plex_thumb_url()
emits the Tauri-format transcode URL when Some
(/photo/:/transcode?url={enc}&width=N&height=N&minSize=1&X-Plex-Token=), raw
tokenized path when None (album/MPRIS full-res preserved). urlencoding dep added
to match encodeURIComponent. Tests extended.
- qbz-slint: each PlexThumb construction site passes its surface decode size
(grid/detail 264, queue/now-playing-item 96, now-playing bar 160, MPRIS full-res);
fetch_and_decode_ref uses plex_thumb_url.
- artwork.rs: static LazyLock<reqwest::Client> reused in fetch_cached_http instead
of reqwest::get (per-image client) — keep-alive + no fd churn (EMFILE smell).
Audio path untouched; local/Qobuz artwork unchanged.

Port the Tauri normalizeCoverUrlForMetadata workaround as ArtworkRef::to_mpris_url
(qbz-models): remote Qobuz covers pass through as-is, local-file covers become a
percent-encoded file:// URI (MPRIS clients cannot read bare paths or asset://),
Plex thumbs become a tokenized HTTP URL. Wired into the Slint now-playing push so
the media widget shows album art. The app icon was already fixed via DesktopEntry.

Tier 0 crate with no dependencies on other qbz-* crates:
- types.rs: Core API types (Track, Album, Artist, Playlist, Quality, etc.)
- playback.rs: Playback types (QueueTrack, RepeatMode, PlaybackState, etc.)
- events.rs: CoreEvent enum for frontend communication
- traits.rs: FrontendAdapter trait enabling multiple frontends
- error.rs: QbzError enum with error codes and recovery flags
All types extracted from qbz-nix/src-tauri/src/api/models.rs and
queue/mod.rs. Ready for use by Tier 1 crates (qbz-audio, qbz-qobuz).
Create the foundational workspace structure for the multi-crate
architecture refactor. This phase establishes placeholder crates
that will be populated in subsequent phases.
Crates created:
- qbz-models: Shared types, events, and traits (Tier 0)
- qbz-audio: Audio backend system (Tier 1)
- qbz-player: Playback engine and queue (Tier 1)
- qbz-qobuz: Qobuz API client (Tier 1)
- qbz-core: Orchestrator (Tier 3)
All crates compile successfully with placeholder implementations.
The workspace uses shared dependencies via workspace.dependencies.
