The inferred OpenAPI spec
(qbz-nix-docs/qobuz-api-inferred-openapi-v9.7.0.3.yaml, source:
x20/b.java) documents the endpoint as /favorite/getNewReleases with
three required query params:
@GET favorite/getNewReleases
- type: String (artists | labels | awards — matches the three
tabs in the mobile UI)
- limit: Integer
- offset: Integer
My earlier attempts at /albums/releaseWatch were chasing the Android
route-table entry for the Release Watch *screen*, not the HTTP call
that screen makes. Different layer.
Also removes my made-up speculation about mobile app_id gating — the
/favorite/* endpoints are standard web-API calls the existing client
already knows how to sign (via authenticated_headers + /0.2/ base URL).
v2_get_release_watch now takes an optional releaseType arg defaulting
to 'artists' so callers can switch tabs later without another command.

Third try's the charm. The previous attempt called the endpoint via
signed_get_auth (RPC-style with request_sig + request_ts), which
yielded 'no Service found with those values' — the RPC dispatcher
simply doesn't know this path.
The /albums/* plural namespace (releaseWatch, favoriteAlbums,
purchasedAlbums, similarTo, essential, artistAlbums, discoverAlbums)
is REST-style, not RPC. QBZ already uses the same pattern for the
/radio/* endpoints in src-tauri/src/api/client.rs: plain
.get(url).headers(authenticated_headers()).query(...) with X-App-Id
and X-User-Auth-Token, and no signing. Same pattern here.
Also reverted the release_watch container addition to
DiscoverContainers — /discover/index does not return it alongside
the editorial sections, confirmed by the empty result when reading
from there even with follows set.
Radio and Artist Spotlight work in QBZ via this same REST + auth
headers pattern despite being 'mobile' features; Release Watch
should too.

The initial implementation added a dedicated get_release_watch client
method calling /albums/releaseWatch, but that path is only routed on
the mobile API; the web API (api.json/0.2) that qbz-qobuz speaks to
returned 'no Service found with those values'.
The correct source is already available: /discover/index — which we
were already calling for newReleases/pressAwards/qobuzissimes/etc —
also returns a release_watch container when the user has follows. We
were silently dropping it because DiscoverContainers didn't declare
the field.
Now:
- DiscoverContainers (Rust + TS mirror) declares the release_watch
field with a serde alias that accepts both camelCase and snake_case
spellings, so future naming churn upstream is tolerated
- HomeView reads it in fetchAllDiscoverData next to the other editorial
sections (one less network round-trip)
- ForYouTab calls v2_get_discover_index and extracts only the
release_watch container
- Reverted the custom /albums/releaseWatch endpoint, client method,
core passthrough, bridge wrapper and v2_get_release_watch command
Section identity (homeSettingsStore id, i18n keys, render blocks)
is unchanged.

The Qobuz mobile client (v9.7) surfaces a 'Release Watch' /
'Radar de Novedades' feed in its Discover screens — new releases
from the artists, labels and award series the user follows. We
didn't have parity for it. This adds it as a module in both
Discover tabs.
Backend:
- qbz-qobuz: new ALBUMS_RELEASE_WATCH endpoint constant
(/albums/releaseWatch, plural as in mobile) and signed_get_auth
client method returning a SearchResultsPage<Album>. Signing
method is 'albumsreleaseWatch' per the Qobuz secret protocol.
- qbz-core: passthrough get_release_watch on QbzCore.
- src-tauri: core_bridge wrapper, new v2_get_release_watch Tauri
command registered in lib.rs. Filters through the artist
blacklist like other album endpoints.
Frontend:
- HomeView: new renderable section 'releaseWatch' in the home tab
(default visible, placed right after New Releases). Parallel
fetch alongside the existing discover_index call; mapped via
the existing toAlbumCard helper.
- ForYouTab: section appears ahead of 'Essentials' since followed
artists/labels are typically more personal.
- homeSettingsStore: new HomeSectionId 'releaseWatch' in the type
union and DEFAULT_SECTIONS so the user can toggle/reorder it
from home customization.
- i18n: discover.releaseWatch.title + subtitle added to all five
locales, using Qobuz's own translations where they exist
('Radar de Novedades' for Spanish, 'Release-Radar' for German)
with the 'followed artists/labels/awards' subtitle copy adapted
from the mobile app's strings.xml resources.
