**The scaled-cover fix from the last round produced nothing.** The seam ran —
462 requests in one offscreen smoke — and wrote zero files, so the owner was
right that nothing improved. The artwork cache stores files as `.img`, and
`image::open` picks its decoder from the EXTENSION, so every call failed
silently. Sniffing the content instead yields 101 derivatives on the same run.
The header atmosphere had the identical bug and had therefore never produced an
image either, which is why the flat fallback was all anyone ever saw.
Reported as fixed last round without checking that it ran. Verified by effect
this time, not by reading the diff.
The rest came through an analyse / refute / implement / verify pipeline, and the
adversarial passes earned their keep:
- The sidebar mini rail: icons sat left of centre because their slot kept its
fixed 24px width while the rail collapsed, so the hit target was rectangular
and off-axis. The rail narrows, rows are square, and the mini state gains the
folder flyout and tooltips it never had. The reviewer caught a comment
claiming the width change was a one-token revert when it is two — corrected
rather than left to mislead the next reader.
- Playback context now travels from every producer, not the handful that
happened to stamp it.
- Collapsible per-tab search in Library, and label artwork.
- Every View-all destination Home offers, plus the label page and its releases.
- Collapsing the sidebar drops a Large bar back to New, live, without
overwriting the user's persisted preference.
