Smoke round 5 (owner feedback). Checkpoint.
- Preferred GPU selector (Settings > Renderer, Linux/wgpu): lists each detected
GPU by name ("Auto" + e.g. "NVIDIA … (discrete)" / "Intel … (integrated)"),
persisted (ui_prefs.gpu_power by device name), applied at startup via the wgpu
adapter PowerPreference (WGPU_POWER_PREF env still wins). Fixes the iGPU running
hot under the shader background on hybrid laptops — pick the discrete GPU.
New gpu_adapters() enumerates+dedups adapters; gpu_power_from_prefs /
_options / _seed_index / _value_for_index.
- Ambient metaball added to the IMMERSIVE scene picker (mode 7, wgpu-only opt-in);
the non-shader atmosphere stays the fallback for GL/software tiers.
- Glass treatment on the surfaces that were still opaque: carousel < > nav
buttons (6 carousels), "Filter by category" pill, "Filter by genre" buttons,
and the PlaylistBrowseView (View-all) header band + category radio row.
- i18n: "Preferred GPU" + description + discrete/integrated + restart toast (8
locales).
Base: 76ea5a82. Prior checkpoint: a0f5cf2b.

Smoke rounds 3-4 (owner feedback). Checkpoint during iteration.
Ambient (the big one): rewrote ambient.wgsl from translating gaussian blobs to a
METABALL field (r²/d² summed + smoothstep iso-surface) with 2-octave domain warp
— lobes fuse/stretch/split like an amoeba / lava lamp (the Cider motion that was
missing), faster clock, more contrast.
Surfaces made background-aware (translucent when the dynamic background is on):
- Search results view (root + toolbar), artist Network panel + its tab-row
header (transparent to avoid double-translucent compounding), JUMP TO bar
(JumpNavBar bar-bg passed in — can't import ShellState without a cycle).
- Discover toolbars + tab pill + BrowseHeaderTools; SearchResultsView toolbar.
- CircleAction (shared: playlist/album/artist/etc. action buttons) on-surface
secondary fill goes glass; playlist Sort dropdown; QbzSelect closed control.
- New app-background-bar-alpha knob (0.3, env QBZ_BG_BAR_ALPHA): thin bars go
MORE transparent than panels (surface-alpha 0.5).
- Content well: frosted tint (0.22) + 1px hairline border → distinct panel.
- Album/Artist header gradient auto-suppressed under the dynamic background
(they clashed); header text stays light on the dynamic backdrop.
- Discover carousel edge-fade "shadows" hidden when active (Carousel /
PlaylistCarousel / ArtistCarousel / PinnedCarousel).
Base: 76ea5a82. Prior checkpoint: 4e405338.
cc
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.

Two playback fixes:
- The 45s loading watchdog only cleared the spinner, so a load that hung
on a network stall (not errored) left the track dead at 0:00 with no
recovery — the legacy fallback only reacts to a setup *error*, never a
hang. Re-start the stuck track up to twice, then skip to the next
playable track. The counter is keyed per-track and resets the moment
real audio plays.
- NowPlayingState shuffle/repeat were only set on a manual toggle, so the
NPB Large shuffle indicator stayed dark after a session restore. Seed
both from persisted state in refresh_now_playing_meta.
cc
A use-site `changed has-focus` on a std-widgets LineEdit/TextEdit never
fires — has-focus is an alias into the inner TextInput (slint#7747) — so
typing a letter that doubles as a shortcut ran the action instead of
inserting the character. Sweep every text-input surface (search, import,
create/edit playlist & folder, tag editor, colour picker, settings
fields, QConnect dev modal, kiosk shell) and drive
UiFocusState.text-input-focused from a `guard-focused` probe property
that the change tracker does observe.
cc
The 2.0 port kept only the Odesli-by-URL path, which rejects Qobuz URLs
(400 could_not_resolve_entity), so album.link/Song.link never resolved
while the raw Qobuz link still copied fine. Restore the Tauri behaviour:
look the track up on Deezer by ISRC (album by UPC, with a leading-zero
retry) and build song.link/d/{id} / album.link/d/{id} from the match.
cc
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
Homologate the large-dock cover's side margins (16px each vs the visible content
bezel) and add a 4px bottom gap by trimming the FFT band 2px top/bottom. Move the
queue count out of the "Up Next" header into a fixed footer ("Showing X of Y
tracks", dropping the redundant "left"). On macOS, inset the flush-left NPB-small
art so the native rounded window corner stops clipping it.
cc
Enable the searchable QbzSelect on the theme picker (36 themes) — the search box
the migration deferred. Rides the #616 theme-filter (icon swap + list narrowing,
already on pre-release); the search filters within the active All/Dark/Light
facet.
cc
Users pin albums/artists/playlists to a configurable "Pinned" section on Home
and For You. New per-user SQLite pinned-items store (headless in qbz-app +
lifecycle wrapper), a mixed PinnedCarousel dispatching Album/ArtistGrid/Playlist
cards by kind, a rotated pin glyph (hover-only) on those cards, and Pin/Unpin
from the playlist header and the album/artist context menus. Local/Plex albums
resolve to their Local Library page (id-format routing) and render their real
covers via the mixed-source artwork dispatcher.
cc
New 200x246 artist card (framed round portrait, follow/play/more hover overlay,
centered wrap-capable name with an optional reco subtitle) matching the album/
playlist card footprint. ArtistCarousel renders it by default across the app
(search "Most popular" hero included); the legacy 160x220 ArtistCard stays for
the label/award carousels whose artist actions don't apply.
cc
Port the Tauri playlist "View all": a new PlaylistBrowseView with the category
tag bar, search filter, genre filter and grid/list toggle, extracted into a
shared BrowseHeaderTools and a reusable PlaylistListRow. Restores the "Popular
albums" see-all and aligns PlaylistCarousel's "View all" affordance with the
standard carousels.
cc
/discover/index honors sub-genre ids server-side, so send the raw selection
(parent or sub-genre, exactly as toggled) instead of mapping to the top-level
ancestor and narrowing client-side by genre.path — the previous hybrid widened
sub-genre selections back to their parent and dropped albums tagged only at top
level. Removes the client-side narrowing and its now-dead helpers; keeps a
diagnostic log of the outgoing genre_ids.
cc
Store the CMAF duration at command-accept so the seek bar and progress can't
freeze at 0:00, backfill it on the Resume rebuild, and clear + surface the
zombie stream-create-failure path. Degrade every non-priority device-reservation
contention error (only a higher-priority holder stays fatal) so a sandboxed
D-Bus RequestName denial can't block bit-perfect playback. Honor the
stream_buffer_seconds floor in the dynamic CMAF path and wire the network
throttle (record_segment_bandwidth / record_underrun / prefetch cap) to tame the
#591 underrun loop. Grant --own-name=org.freedesktop.ReserveDevice1.* in the
repo flatpak manifest so WirePlumber releases the card cleanly.
cc
The All/Dark/Light filter next to the theme dropdown did nothing: every
branch of the icon ternary rendered disc.svg, and the Rust `theme-filter`
handler was cosmetic (persisted the value but never filtered the list).
Add distinct sun-moon/moon/sun icons and a luminance-based filter-aware
theme API (filtered_dropdown_themes/labels + index helpers), then wire
startup seeding, the filter cycle, and theme selection through it. `All`
is a proven passthrough of the previous behaviour; Dark/Light narrow the
dropdown by the registry's `is_light` flag.
SettingsExportActions.confirm() -> settings::export_settings: read the
include-auth gate, close the modal, then off the event loop build the bundle
via qbz_app::settings::bundle::export(ExportSource::Desktop, ..) (no new
export logic), open a native rfd save dialog seeded with
qbz-settings-YYYYMMDD.qbzb, write it 0600 via write_bundle_file, and toast
the "qbzd settings import <file>" step. Errors surface a toast; cancel is a
no-op.
cc
Add the desktop "Export settings…" surface for the qbzd daemon epic (T18):
a Developer-settings row that opens a modal with the single default-off
"Include Qobuz login and integration tokens" gate, its warning line, and a
Cancel/Export footer. Confirm() is a Rust callback (wired next). New
SettingsExportState/SettingsExportActions globals, exported from app.slint
so the Rust layer binds them, and the modal mounted in AppShell. New strings
translated across all 8 locales (en es de fr pt ru ja nl).
cc
Implements owner requirement 2 (03-setup-tui.md): `qbzd setup`, a six-screen
raspi-config-grade configurator over the daemon's real stores — zero new
persistence. ratatui 0.30 (IV5: unifies on the lock's unicode-width 0.2.2;
0.29 forbidden). A synchronous event loop on a blocking thread; disk/HTTP only
at screen entry, `r`, save and the immediate actions, on workers with a spinner
(no I/O on keystrokes). Non-tty exits 2 with the verbatim copy; alt-screen +
panic-hook restore.
Screens: Account (T5 login engine; inline masked token paste, suspend-and-run
browser login, logout confirm), Audio (the §3.2.3 constraint matrix + 7
cascades verified 1:1 vs the desktop code, device picker re-deriving the
§3.2.2 grouping/BP-badge rules, DSD guard), Playback (ask->fallback rule,
infinite-radio read-only), QConnect (startup/name/volume_mode, live preview),
Network (whole-file qbzd.toml rewrite preserving every key), Import/Export
(pure renderer of the T12 bundle plan; interactive device re-pick; default-off
auth gate). Saves reuse T11 write_one + reload/status classification (§4.3);
dirty marker + Save/Discard/Stay. All user-facing strings centralized.
