Two refinements requested after the sidebar landed.
Artist biography:
- Adopts the AlbumPageView description pattern. The truncated body
is sized with an explicit width = content-width - 296px (page
padding 32+32 + portrait 200 + header gap 32), so it fills the
horizontal band to the right of the artwork instead of wrapping
narrow.
- content-width is derived: shrinks by 300px when the network
sidebar is open, so the bio band stays inside the visible main
column and never gets clipped behind the sidebar.
- Read more no longer toggles an inline expand. It opens a
centered modal with a Flickable for the full bio plus the
optional "Source: <name>" attribution line — same scrim, panel
sizing, and close-X treatment as the album modal.
Network sidebar height:
- Top spacer goes from 22px to 44px to clear the NavButtons row
at the top of the artist body — same offset Tauri's sticky
jump-nav uses (`top: 44px`).
- Bottom spacer goes from 22px to 32px to mirror the small gap
above the now-playing bar that Tauri's `height: calc(100vh -
180px)` produces. The sidebar is now visibly shorter than the
main column, matching the WebKit build.
cc
Closes the network sidebar with the fifth section — tag-based "You may
also like" discovery, with a per-tag dismiss store so a thumbs-down
sticks across artist pages that share the same primary genre tag.
Backend (`qbz-integrations` + `qbz-core`):
- DiscoveryArtist and DiscoveryResponse DTOs added to
qbz-integrations::musicbrainz::models.
- QbzCore::musicbrainz_discover_artists ports
v2_get_discovery_artists end to end (sans the RecoState local
"play count > 2" filter, which has no equivalent in the Slint
shell yet): primary-tag search, exclude seed + similar +
dismissed, deterministic shuffle keyed on seed_mbid, validate
each candidate on Qobuz, fall back to the secondary tag if we
have fewer than 5 matches.
- normalize_artist_name re-exported at the qbz-core crate root so
the dismiss handler in qbz-slint can use the same key shape that
the discovery pipeline filters on.
- Deterministic shuffle implemented with a simple xorshift PRNG
seeded from a stable hash of seed_mbid — keeps qbz-core free of
the rand dep.
Slint controller (`crates/qbz-slint/src/`):
- discovery_dismiss.rs — small JSON store at
`<data-dir>/qbz/discovery_dismiss.json` keyed by lowercased tag
-> list of normalized artist names. dismissed_for_tag is passed
into the discovery call as the filter source; dismiss() is
invoked by the thumbs-down handler.
- artist::load_mb_discovery / apply_mb_discovery /
remove_discovery_artist plumb the pipeline result through the
standard load-off-thread / apply-on-UI split. Discovery state
includes primary_tag so the dismiss handler can persist under
the right key.
- main.rs chains discovery after relationships in the same MB
enrichment task. NetworkSidebarActions.discovery-dismissed (now
carrying mbid + name) normalizes the name, persists the
dismiss, and removes the row from the visible list.
Slint UI (`ui/state.slint`, `ui/artist/ArtistPageView.slint`):
- discovery-tag property added to NetworkSidebarState.
- YOU MAY ALSO LIKE section after Relationships — one row per
candidate (SidebarLink + a 24x24 thumbs-down button on the
right). Clicking the link navigates via the artist-clicked
callback when a Qobuz id is present.
- thumbs-down.svg icon added to ui/assets/icons (Lucide
ThumbsDown).
cc
Wires the third MB-driven section: Members & Former, Member Of, and
Collaborators, mirroring Tauri's RELATIONSHIPS block.
Controller (`crates/qbz-slint/src/artist.rs`):
- load_mb_relationships(runtime, mbid) — calls QbzCore's
musicbrainz_get_artist_relationships, then maps each section
independently with group_relations.
- group_relations dedupes by mbid combining roles, preserves first-
seen order, and computes the per-row role + tooltip:
* role = first attribute, or the section default ("Band Member"
/ "Band" / "Collaborator") when MB has no attributes.
* tooltip = roles joined with ", " plus the period in parens
("Vocalist, Guitarist (1965 - 1969)"); falls back to just the
period or to the name.
- format_period mirrors Tauri's `{begin || '?'} - {end || 'present'}`
when at least one of the two is set, otherwise empty.
main.rs:
- The MB enrichment task now chains: resolve + metadata first, then
relationships with the resolved mbid. Both loading flags flip
together so the sidebar shows a single "Loading…" line per section
while the calls run.
ArtistPageView.slint:
- RELATIONSHIPS section, gated by mb-available + (loading || has-
data). Three sub-groups, each with a secondary label
("Members & Former" / "Member Of" / "Collaborators"), shown only
when their list is non-empty.
- Members and Collaborators use the User icon, Member Of uses the
Music icon (matches Tauri's Lucide imports).
- Each row reuses SidebarLink, emits NetworkSidebarActions.musician-
clicked(name, role) — logged-only until MusicianPage lands.
cc
Extracts the two Qobuz-driven sidebar sections from /artist/page data
the artist controller already receives and wires them into the
NetworkSidebar.
Controller (`crates/qbz-slint/src/artist.rs`):
- Labels collected during the existing release-bucketing loop,
matching Tauri's extractLabelsFromPageReleases: only the "album"
release group, only releases attributed to this artist, dedupe by
label id, sorted by name. Each label exposes {id, name}.
- Similar artists pulled from page.similar_artists.items as
{id, name}. No artwork on the sidebar rows (Tauri only renders a
User icon + name there).
- ArtistData / ArtistState gained `labels` and `similar_artists`;
reset_artist clears them on artist change.
Slint (`ui/state.slint`, `ui/artist/ArtistPageView.slint`):
- New LabelEntry and SimilarEntry structs alongside ArtistState.
- New SidebarLink local component — small leading icon (12px) +
elided name, surface-elevated hover, mirrors Tauri's
`.sidebar-artist-link`. Used by Labels (Disc), Similar (User),
and the upcoming Relationships rows.
- Labels section: title + items or "No label info" placeholder.
- Similar Artists section: title + items, with "Loading…" while
the artist page itself is loading and "No similar artists found"
once loaded with an empty list.
main.rs:
- on_artist_clicked now navigates: records nav history and calls
navigate_artist, same flow as the top-level on_open_artist. The
target view exists in Slint already (unlike LabelReleases /
ArtistsByLocation / MusicianPage, which stay logged-only).
cc
Wires the artist controller to call QbzCore's MusicBrainz orchestration
and feed the Origin section of the network sidebar, plus typed click
callbacks for every section (logged-only until the target views land).
Controller (`crates/qbz-slint/src/artist.rs`):
- reset_network_sidebar() — clears sidebar MB state on artist change.
- load_mb_metadata(runtime, name) — checks the client's enabled flag,
resolves name -> mbid via musicbrainz_resolve_artist, fetches
metadata via musicbrainz_get_artist_metadata, maps into MbOrigin
(is_person derived from artist_type, dates formatted as "1976",
"May 1976" or "May 14, 1976" matching Tauri's en-US output).
- apply_mb_metadata() / apply_mb_unavailable() — push into
NetworkSidebarState on the event loop.
main.rs:
- navigate_artist now resets the sidebar before loading and spawns
the MB enrichment in parallel with artwork. Origin loading flag
flips to true before the resolve, back to false on success or
on MB-unavailable.
- NetworkSidebarActions click callbacks (location, label, artist,
musician, discovery dismiss) wired to log() with full payload —
placeholder until ArtistsByLocation/LabelReleases/MusicianPage land
in Slint.
ArtistPageView.slint:
- Sidebar body becomes a Flickable + VerticalLayout (so the upcoming
Labels / Similar / Relationships / Discovery sections can overflow
cleanly).
- Origin section renders three optional rows — Born/Founded,
Born in/Founded in, Died/Disbanded — with the same uppercased
label + right-aligned value pattern Tauri uses. The location row
is clickable when the location precision is finer than country
or a city is present; click emits NetworkSidebarActions.location-
clicked with the artist's mbid.
- Section is gated by NetworkSidebarState.mb-available, so a
disabled MB integration or an unmatched artist hides Origin
entirely (next phases fill Labels/Similar with Qobuz data that
does not depend on MB).
Adds qbz-integrations as a direct dep of qbz-slint so the controller
can match on ArtistType / LocationPrecision without going through a
re-export shim.
cc
Two adjustments to land the sidebar shell closer to the Tauri visual.
1. Default open. The artist network sidebar is one of the visible
improvements over a generic Linux music player, so it should be on
out of the box. `network_sidebar_prefs::load_open()` now returns
`true` when the prefs file is missing, the Slint global also
defaults to open, and main.rs reads the persisted value at startup
to seed NetworkSidebarState.open. Users who close it have the
choice persisted as before.
2. Vertical inset. The sidebar is now wrapped in a VerticalLayout with
a 22px spacer at the top and bottom, so it does not occupy the full
ArtistPageView height. Mirrors Tauri's `height: calc(100vh - 180px)`
which leaves room for the sticky jump-nav at the top and the
now-playing bar at the bottom.
cc
Restructures ArtistPageView's outer layout into a HorizontalLayout
where the existing Flickable becomes a horizontal-stretch column and a
fixed 300px sidebar opens on the right when NetworkSidebarState.open
is true — mirroring Tauri's .artist-body { content + .network-sidebar-
column } flex row.
Sidebar shell:
- 300px column with a 1px left border in border-subtle, surface-card
background.
- Header row (44px tall, surface-main background, separator line
below): uppercased "ARTIST NETWORK" label on the left, 28x28 close
button on the right using the panel-right-close icon (same icon
Tauri renders via Lucide PanelRightClose).
- Close button mirrors the header toggle: flips
NetworkSidebarState.open to false and emits
NetworkSidebarActions.toggle so the Rust side persists.
- Body is an empty stretch placeholder; Origin / Labels / Similar /
Relationships / Discovery sections land in the following phases.
Asset: panel-right-close.svg ported from Lucide (24x24 viewBox,
stroke-width 2, same path as Tauri's lucide-svelte import).
cc
Adds the Network button to the artist action cluster (Heart / Build
collection / Radio / Network), wired to NetworkSidebarState.open.
While the sidebar is open the button stays "active" — accent-tinted
icon over the same surface a hover would produce — mirroring Tauri's
`.network-btn.active`. The CircleAction primitive grew an `active`
prop to express this without bespoke per-button styling; existing
buttons default it to false and are unaffected.
The click toggles NetworkSidebarState.open and emits
NetworkSidebarActions.toggle(). Rust persists the new flag through
network_sidebar_prefs::set_open() so the sidebar reopens in the same
state the user left it.
Asset: element-connect.svg copied from the Tauri `static/` folder
verbatim — same icon Tauri renders for the button.
Hide (blacklist) button stays out of the cluster until the
artist_blacklist module migrates out of src-tauri. The sidebar
itself, its content, and the controllers that fill the state are
landed in the following phases.
cc
Groups releases into five sections (Discography, EPs and Singles, Live
Albums, Compilations, Others). Releases attributed to a different
main artist inside a group are filtered out, and the release id is
deduped across groups so the same album does not appear twice when
Qobuz lists it in multiple buckets. Compilations come from
tracks_appears_on (albums by other artists that include this artist),
deduped by album id.
ArtistData and the ArtistState global gain a bio_source field; the
ArtistPageView renders it as a small "Source: <name>" line under the
Read-more toggle when present (TiVo etc).
cc
The Popular Tracks list now caps at 5 rows with a Load more button
instead of dumping 30. Each row gains a Select button (foundation for
multi-select — first surface), and the more-button is always visible
(no longer hover-revealed) so all three controls (play / select /
context) read together. AlbumTrackItem gained a selected: bool and
media-action(\"track\", id, \"toggle-select\") flips the row state via
the handler on ArtistState.top-tracks.
cc
Artist release cards were rendered with empty artwork because no
artwork-pipeline target existed for ArtistState. Added
ArtworkTarget::ArtistRelease and an artist::artwork_jobs builder;
navigate_artist now spawns the cover-download jobs after applying the
page data, so every section grid fills in progressively.
Biography truncation: artist.rs precomputes a word-boundary bio_short
(360 chars), ArtistState exposes bio-short and bio-truncated, and
ArtistPageView shows the short variant with an inline Read more /
Read less toggle.
cc
Home, Album and Artist views now show the rotating LoadingSpinner (same
as search) above a label while the initial load runs, replacing the
bare Loading… text.
The top-result-artist dedupe moved from map_search_all into apply_search
and replace_category: the full artists list is kept in SearchState.artists
(used by the Artists tab grid), and a separate artists-carousel drops the
duplicate next to the Most-popular hero on the All tab.
cc
- ArtistCard rebuilt 1:1 with Tauri SearchView.artist-card: 160x220
inside a surface-card container, 12px corners, 120px circular avatar
with a gradient placeholder, hover swaps to surface-elevated. The
Follow chip (rectangular per ADR-008) sits below the name when the
user does not follow the artist.
- Search loading state uses a rotating spinner (Lucide LoaderCircle on
Slint transform-rotation) matching the Tauri spinner — 1s linear
infinite. The search header (title + tabs + filter radios) collapses
while the initial load runs so the chrome does not show through.
- Search history: live debounce + submit now use
nav::push_or_replace_search, so the latest query is the single Search
entry in history. Back from an opened album lands on that search.
- Track row backgrounds use the OR-d row-hovered (cell / fav / dl /
more), so hovering the more button no longer drops the row tint.
- replace_category artists arm re-applies the top-result dedupe, so
filtering does not bring the duplicate back.
cc
New shared TrackContextMenu primitive with every option the Tauri
TrackMenu shows (flat — no submenus): Play now / Play next / Add to
queue / Create radio / Add to library / Add to mixtape / Add to
playlist / Share Qobuz link / Share Song.link / Make available offline
/ Go to album / Go to artist / Track info. Items already wired in the
MVP (play / play-next / queue / favorite) fire as before; the rest emit
their media-action and stay no-op until the backend lands. Used by
SearchTrackRow, AlbumPageView TrackRow, and ArtistPageView TrackRow.
cc
- Follow button on the artist card is no longer a pill — Radius.sm
rounded rectangle, matching the rest of the app (new ADR-008).
- PlaylistCard sized identically to AlbumCard (220x266) with the same
220px artwork area; collage and the grid/carousel updated to match.
- Track row play overlay now appears anywhere over the row, not only
when the pointer is directly over the cell. Slint does not propagate
has-hover to ancestor TouchAreas, so each row OR-s its own ta with
every nested TouchArea (play-cell, fav/dl/more) into row-hovered.
- EqualizerBars sit on a fixed 16px baseline so the animation stays
perfectly centered while the bar heights oscillate.
- TrackPlayCell exposes out hovered so rows can OR it cleanly.
- Search dedupes a top-result artist that is also the first carousel
entry, removing the redundant duplicate.
cc
New shared TrackPlayCell for the track-row leading slot, ported 1:1 from
the Tauri track rows: at rest it shows the cover thumbnail or track
number; on row hover a play triangle; for the current track an animated
three-bar equalizer, swapping to a pause glyph on hover. Clicking a
non-current cell plays the track, clicking the current one toggles
play/pause. Wired into the search, album-page and artist-page track
rows.
cc
Add a "Play next" ContextMenuItem above "Add to queue" in every menu
that offers queueing: the album page track menu, the artist page track
menu, and the discover album card menu. Play next uses the list-plus
icon and Add to queue switches to list-end, matching Tauri's ListPlus /
ListEnd icon mapping. The queue sidebar track menu is left untouched.
cc
Playback (minimal, album-focused):
- playback.rs controller: play an album (set queue + start audio),
play a single track, enqueue, play a queue index, transport
(play/pause, next, previous, seek, volume)
- the audible step uses Player::play_track (fetch -> download -> play);
the protected audio backend is untouched
- a 450ms poll loop pushes position/progress/times/playing onto
NowPlayingState and auto-advances at end of track
- NowPlayingState / QueueState globals; NowPlayingBar bound to real
state (song card, seek bar, transport, volume); QueueSidebar lists
the queue and rows play on click
- a played track is recorded into the recently-played store
Detail views:
- album description and artist biography stay with the metadata,
filling the width to the right of the artwork (not below the header)
- header nav tabs gained a dropdown caret and 2px side padding
Settings > Playback defaults are now opt-out: show context icon,
restore session, resume position and stream-uncached default on;
streaming-only stays opt-in; initial buffer defaults to 2s.
Known gaps: queue/now-playing artwork not yet threaded (Image is not
Send); autoplay-mode preference not consulted by auto-advance; buffer
progress line stays at 0.
cc
Shell chrome (steps 1-3):
- Left sidebar is collapsible — a toggle in the nav cluster (left of the
[<] [>] pair) and a draggable right edge that resizes 200-420px and
collapses below 160px. ShellState global drives it.
- Queue and Lyrics right sidebars: 320px panels rendered as layout
siblings, so opening one pushes the content area narrower rather than
overlaying it. The header captions/queue buttons toggle them
(mutually exclusive) and light up when active.
- The four nav tabs (Discover/Library/Local Library/My QBZ) open
dropdown menus listing their sub-sections; Discover -> Home is wired.
Detail views (steps 4-5):
- Track rows: the even-row tint is now clearly fainter than the hover
tint so the two states no longer look identical.
- The favorite and offline-cache glyphs in album track rows are real
buttons (hover state, emit media-action).
- Album header artist link uses the metadata text color, bold, instead
of the accent blue.
- Album description and artist biography span the full content width
below the header block.
cc
NowPlayingBar (start of the playback-bar work):
- height raised to 110px
- SeekBar component: three-line track (total / cached / progress), a
hover thumb, elapsed/remaining times, and a hover time bubble with a
downward caret marking the seek position
- song card: background and border dropped, gains the extra height,
album/artist links and the context icon kept (context icon now
always shown)
- transport + secondary buttons copied from Tauri (shuffle, prev,
play, next, repeat, add, favorite; cast, picture-in-picture,
fullscreen, normalization; volume cluster). Queue/Lyrics stay in the
header — and the header now orders them lyrics-then-queue.
Settings constraints (1:1 with Tauri):
- Exclusive Mode enabled only on ALSA; DAC Passthrough only on
PipeWire; Lock Output Device disabled while DAC Passthrough is on;
Gapless disabled while Streaming Only is on
- backend change cascades: forces off DAC passthrough / force-bit-
perfect / exclusive / gapless as appropriate; DAC-passthrough and
streaming-only cascades; initial-buffer slider right-aligned
Discover fixes:
- navigation [<] [>] pair homologated to the same top/left margin
across every view
- album/artist description moved back into the metadata column (it now
fills the width there) with uniform secondary text color
- genre filter button hugs its label instead of stretching
- Recently Played Albums and Tracks modules always render, with a
placeholder until the play history has data
- wider spacing between Discover rows; the Discover gear is no longer
a Settings shortcut (it is the per-tab sort/show-hide control)
cc
Move the album description and the artist biography out of the metadata
column to span the full content width below the header block, so the
text is no longer cramped into the narrow column beside the artwork.
cc
Add a navigation history so pages can be walked back and forward.
- nav.rs: a back/forward stack of NavEntry (home, album, artist,
settings); record() on fresh navigation, go_back/go_forward to walk it
- NavButtons: a [<] [>] pair styled like the Discover tab group; inline
beside the Discover tabs and in place of the per-page Back button on
album, artist and settings views
- All navigation routes through Rust (open-album/-artist record entries;
the gear and header menu use NavState.request-settings) so the history
stays accurate; back/forward re-apply entries, re-loading entity pages
- AppShell listens for the mouse back/forward buttons
- can-back / can-forward drive the buttons' enabled state
Also in this round:
- Album header description: render a pre-truncated short string so it
wraps to a couple of lines instead of overflowing the header; the full
text stays in the Read-more modal
- Header queue button uses an ordered-list icon (the previous one read
as a playlist)
cc
Bring the album view closer to 1:1 with the Tauri original.
- Track list: favorite and offline-cache columns, and the context-menu
button now always shows in the muted column color (it brightens on
hover) instead of being hidden until hover
- Toolbar above the track list: a QualityBadgeFull port of the Tauri
QualityBadgeStatic (icon + tier + exact bit-depth/sample-rate), plus
a track search box
- Editorial album description, truncated, with a Read more link that
opens the full text in a modal
- Label/awards sidebar: drop the resting card background; awards use
the Tauri laurels SVG
- Control buttons on both album and artist views are ghost circles
(translucent fill, faint ring) instead of solid fills
cc
Bring the album and artist pages closer to the Tauri originals.
Shared:
- Artwork-tinted gradient header — header_tint() derives an average,
darkened color from the decoded cover; the page header renders a
linear-gradient from it. Both pages scroll on a Flickable (no
scrollbar gutter).
Album view:
- Full header action row: play, shuffle, favorite, radio, credits,
booklet, mixtape, multi-select, more (visual where playback/feature
wiring is pending; play and favorite emit media-action)
- Right sidebar with the record label and editorial awards, each a
round-avatar card; AlbumData now carries id, label and awards
Artist view:
- Gradient header, fuller action row, and an "ARTIST" eyebrow
- Discography split into titled release sections (Albums, EPs &
Singles, Live Albums, Compilations, ...) instead of one flat list
- Artist track rows gained the more-button context menu
cc
Add a first cut of context menus, opened from the "more" (ellipsis)
button on Discover album cards and on album track rows.
- ContextMenu / ContextMenuItem primitives (PopupWindow-hosted panel)
- AlbumCard: the overlay action buttons are now interactive (they gate
their pointer handling so non-hovered cards still open on click); the
more button opens a menu — Open album, Play, Add to queue, Add to
favorites
- TrackRow: a hover-revealed more button opens a menu — Play, Add to
queue, Add to favorites; AlbumTrackItem and TrackData carry the
track id
- Menu actions bubble up as a single media-action(kind, id, action)
callback through the shell; main.rs logs it for now — playback and
favorites wiring lands with the playback session
- user and list-plus icons
cc
Clicking an artist (from the album page's artist line) opens the
artist detail view: a circular portrait, name, biography, action
buttons, a Popular Tracks list, and a Discography carousel.
- artist.rs: fetches the artist page via QbzCore::get_artist_page and
maps name, biography (HTML-stripped), portrait URL, top tracks and
releases; the portrait loads through the shared image cache.
- ArtistPageView.slint reuses AlbumCard for the discography (through
the Carousel) and AlbumTrackItem for the track list.
- NavState becomes a three-way ContentView (home / album / artist) and
AppShell routes the content region accordingly. The album page's
artist line and the artist page's release cards are navigable.
