vicrodh db0999bf6f feat(disc): read CD-DA off a real drive, measured before it was written
New crate `qbz-disc`: table of contents and raw audio sectors through the
kernel's own cdrom ioctls. No libcdio — not because libcdio is worse (it is
better at RIPPING than this will ever be) but because this path PLAYS a clean
disc, and for that the kernel interface is enough while a native library would
have to be built into Flatpak, Snap and AppImage. Both need the same --device
permission in a sandbox; only one needs the library shipped.

Every claim below was measured on the owner's USB drive with Tool — Fear
Inoculum BEFORE a line of this crate existed, so the design answers evidence
rather than the other way round:

  - the TOC reads back 7 audio tracks, lead-out at LSN 356568, and the track
    lengths match the record exactly (10:21, 11:52, 12:44, 13:37, 10:05, 4:48,
    15:44 — 79:11 total);
  - CDROMREADAUDIO over 20 frames from LSN 4000 returned 47 040 bytes, 99 %
    non-zero samples, peak 14559: real audio, not silence;
  - the drive hands back LITTLE-endian samples. Neighbouring-sample deltas
    average 73.5 read as LE against 20 971 read as BE, a 285x margin, so the
    bytes go straight into a little-endian WAV with no swap. That is one
    drive, so `looks_byte_swapped` keeps the test available as a diagnostic
    instead of an article of faith;
  - the disc's MCN is all zeros, which is why identity is a digest over the
    track table and not the catalogue number.

What this is NOT is accurate extraction: no overlap synchronisation, no cache
modelling, no jitter verification. On a clean disc that is fine for playback,
and an unreadable sector surfaces as an ERROR rather than a hole full of
zeros — silence that pretends to be audio is the one outcome a bit-perfect
player must never produce.

`/dev/sr0` is nowhere in the code: drives are enumerated, because a box can
have several and /dev/cdrom is a symlink that may point at any of them. Data
tracks of a mixed-mode disc are skipped by their control bits.

`CdRef` is the typed reference (`cdda:/dev/sr0#285735+70833`) with ONE parser,
not prefix tests copied around — the scattered version is a known failure mode
here and cost a whole session on 2026-08-20.

11 tests, several asserting against that real table of contents.

vicrodh 0e9721d24b refactor(qt): reorder the Local Library header and label the Open menu
Owner's layout: the two maintenance glyphs sit together and the action that
produces new content reads last —

    Local Library  (settings) (resync)  [folder] Open v

Open also stops being a bare glyph. A folder icon on its own reads as "browse
folders" when there is a tab literally called Folders two rows below, and this
control is the one door for every medium the pane can hold: a folder now, a CD
and a SACD image next. It is a 30px / radius-6 chip with icon, label and
chevron — the same small toolbar-control contract this header's selects use.

vicrodh 9666ef129e feat(qt): give the ephemeral pane an album header, a shuffle and zebra rows
The pane opened on a bare title, a track count and the folder PATH — a
filesystem readout for something the user is about to listen to. For the
common case this pane IS an album page: one folder, one album, one cover.

It now reads like one. The cover is 224px, the size LocalAlbumHeader uses, so
an opened folder and an indexed album never present the same record at two
different scales; the cell collapses entirely when the session has no art
rather than reserving an empty square. The second line trades the path for the
total playing time, formatted by the same `total_duration` helper every other
Local Library surface uses. Play gains a Shuffle beside it, with the same
`(shuffle)` shape `play_album` has, and the Clear stays — it is the only way
to close a session, and with it the only way to make the tab go away.

The per-block header now draws only for MULTI-album sessions. Adding the big
header made it a stutter for single-album ones: the same cover, the same
title and the same count, twice on one screen.

Track rows get `zebra: true`. `TrackRow` already had the property; this pane
was simply the surface that never set it.

The shuffle's generator was replaced before it shipped. The first version was
a bare xorshift with a comment claiming a folder shuffle "is not a place that
needs a good generator" — measured over eight consecutive shuffles of a
ten-track album, one track opened FOUR of them. It is splitmix64 now, seeded
with a counter as well as the clock so two shuffles inside one clock tick
cannot repeat, and there is a test asserting no position is pinned over 2000
runs. Shuffle quality is something the listener sees directly.

vicrodh 45c686fab0 fix(qt): take the view to the session you just opened, every time
Reported: opening a folder left the view on whatever tab was already showing.

The handler watched `ephemeralActive`, and that flag is ALREADY true when you
open a second folder over a first — or when the boot restore opened one before
you ever touched the view. So it fired exactly once in the life of the app and
then never again, which is precisely the symptom.

It now watches an open SEQUENCE that changes on every open. The discriminator
was already in the code and did not need inventing: `open()` and `open_path()`
pass a runtime to `scan`, `rehydrate()` passes None. Bumping only for the
former is what keeps a remembered folder from stealing the tab you actually
navigated to at startup.

Also restores `onEphemeralActiveChanged`, which I deleted by accident in the
label commit: a range replacement swallowed the handler sitting between the
two edits. It is the fallback that sends you to Albums when the session closes
under you, and without it closing a session left `activeTab` pointing at a tab
that no longer exists — a blank content area. It had been smoke-tested BEFORE
that edit, so the test was valid when it ran and stale by the time it landed.

Verified in the reported scenario: standing on Albums with one session open,
opening a different folder switches to the tab, the label changes and the
count follows.

vicrodh ffc2d7d664 build(qt): gate on a fifth audit — every icon name must have a baked svg
`QbzIcon` does not draw an SVG by path: it picks a pre-baked, per-tint copy
out of `qml/assets/icons/<tint>/`. A name with no bake renders NOTHING. The
row keeps its 15px slot, the label sits where it always did, and no test,
audit or compiler says a word.

That is how three rows of the new Refresh menu shipped iconless through a
clean build, 434 green tests and four green audits: `"icon": "server"` looked
obvious and has no bake. It was caught by driving the app and LOOKING.

The audit checks literal `name:` / `"icon":` assignments against the union of
the tint directories, and it is deliberately a floor, not a ceiling: an icon
chosen by expression is out of reach for a static pass, and a first draft that
also flagged names absent from SOME tints produced ~90 findings, all noise —
amber/green/orange/favorite are status tints that hold a handful of glyphs by
design. An audit that cries wolf gets ignored, and then it protects nothing.

Proven in both directions before landing: with "server" reintroduced it fails
and names the file; without it, 101 names across 288 files pass.

The tool itself lives in qbz-nix-docs (planning/tooling stays out of the repo).

vicrodh 85ece130e7 feat(qt): name the ephemeral tab after what is open, with no verb
"Open", "Now Playing" and "Playing: <album>" were all tried and dropped. A
verb is a claim the tab cannot keep: a folder can sit open while something
else plays, and then the tab and the now-playing bar name different tracks on
the same screen. The content's own name cannot go stale that way, and the tab
appears the instant you open something, so nothing has to explain it.

The chain lives in Rust so the tab and the nav flyout read ONE value
(`localEphemeralLabel`) instead of deriving it twice — the flyout does not
parse the ephemeral document and should not start:

  single album -> its title  (a folder IS an album, and so is a disc)
  otherwise    -> the medium's display name, what the pane's header shows
  neither      -> "Media"

Elided at 24 CHARACTERS, not bytes: `QbzTabBar` sizes a segment to its text,
so an unbounded folder name pushes the whole bar off screen — and slicing a
UTF-8 string by byte index panics mid-codepoint on a Japanese album title.
There is a test for exactly that.

New msgid in all eight locales. Verified on screen: the tab reads "Live 8".

vicrodh cb4c03ca46 feat(qt): one Open menu and one Refresh menu in the Local Library header
The ephemeral pane used to be a third arm of the Folders tab, reachable only
through a folder-open icon buried in the tree rail — one arm of one mode of
one tab. It also HID the folder browser while it was open. Neither survives
the media this pane is about to hold (a CD, a SACD image).

Row 1 of the header now carries two menus, both `CardMenu` (the shared menu
surface, no new component):

  - `Open`, always present, is the one door for every medium. Only "Open
    folder…" is wired here; the disc entries land with their readers.
  - `Refresh` replaces the Plex-only re-sync icon (#573). Rows are APPENDED
    per configured source rather than rendered disabled, so a user with no
    media servers sees local folders and nothing else. It needed no new Rust:
    `plexAvailable`, `mediaHasJellyfin`, `mediaHasSubsonic`, `syncPlex()`,
    `mediaSync()` and the settings' own "library-scan" all already existed.

The ephemeral session becomes a tab of its own, present only while a session
is. Two failure modes are handled because the tab can VANISH under the user:
closing the session falls back to Albums instead of leaving `activeTab` on a
tab with no body, and opening one navigates to it — while the pane was an arm
of Folders that was implicit, and with a tab of its own, opening a folder from
Albums would otherwise do nothing visible.

`load_tab_impl` gains an "ephemeral" arm: nothing to load (the session is in
memory), but without the arm every switch to the tab logged "unknown tab",
which is what a real routing bug looks like.

Driven under Xvfb, not inferred: both menus open, the gated rows match the
configured servers, opening lands on the tab, the badges read DSD64, closing
removes the tab and falls back to Albums, and the folder tree is now visible
WITH a session open.

vicrodh a0ed0d752f fix(player): cancel the DSD-to-PCM conversion when its track is superseded
The conversion thread relied on `push_chunk` returning `Err` to notice the
track had changed — the comment said so in as many words ("Reader gone (track
changed/stopped) — just stop"). That check could never fire: `push_chunk`
only extends a Vec and fails solely on a poisoned mutex, and `BufferState`
carries no reader-gone flag and no Drop.

So skipping a DSD track left the thread converting to the END of the file,
growing a buffer nothing would ever read. A 60-minute DSD64 album track is
~1.9 GB of 88.2 kHz/24-bit PCM held for nothing, on a box that hard-freezes
under memory pressure.

The fix reuses the contract that already exists for the CMAF feeder:
`register_stream_feeder` with the play generation, plus a cooperative check
once per converted block. Registration happens AFTER the spawn and carries
the generation the play was born under, so a supersede that lands in between
cancels the thread instead of registering it. Like the network feeder's own
cancel, it neither errors nor completes the buffer — the outgoing engine keeps
playing what is already buffered until the new source is installed.

Confirmed in a live session log, not inferred:
  [CMAF-STREAM] Cancelling feeder for superseded track 5672
  Player: DSD conversion for superseded track 5672 cancelled

vicrodh 71f8d08970 refactor(qt): hoist the quality badge into one classifier and teach it DSD
`myqbz_builder_qt.rs` carried its own copy of the reference's
`quality::badge` plus three helpers, and its own note called hoisting them out
a named follow-up that "must not be done in a domain commit". This is that
commit: they move VERBATIM into `quality_qt.rs`.

The hoist is not tidying. Local Library never had those helpers, so it read a
DSD row's nominal 1-bit depth and 2 822 400 Hz bit rate literally: the CD
badge, and "1-bit / 2822.4 kHz" where MyQBZ printed DSD64 for the same file.
Six surfaces disagreed with a seventh about the same track.

`local_rows` gains a `detail_of` to pair with `tier_of`, and all SIX call
sites are routed through the pair — the pairing is what stops the two halves
of one badge from drifting again. `tier_of` keeps its extra "max" tier on
purpose: `LocalLibraryView.qml:435` filters hi-res on that word and
`QualityBadge.qml:66` folds it back to "hires".

Measured before/after on the same album: CD + "1-bit / 2822.4 kHz" ->
hi-res + "DSD64", on the grid, the rows, the album header and the playlists.

vicrodh 6328994c00 fix(library): read "DSD" back out of the database as DSD, not Unknown
`LibraryDatabase::parse_format` is the inverse of `AudioFormat`'s Display,
which is what the scanner stores. It had no arm for "DSD", so every DSD row
came back out of the DB as `Unknown`: the album header printed "UNKNOWN" as
its format, the quality badge said CD (depth 1 IS a known depth below 24) and
the detail line read "1-bit / 2822.4 kHz". The now-playing bar was right all
along because it reads the decoder, not the row — which is exactly the clue
that separated the two data sources.

A fold to `Unknown` is a VALID answer, so nothing failed: not the build, not
`cargo check` (it cannot see the match at all), not a single test.

Three sites had the same hole and all three are fixed:
  - `database.rs`, the one that bit;
  - `local_plex.rs`, same fold for a Plex server serving DSD;
  - `media_servers_qt.rs`, worse than the others — its fallback is `Flac`, so
    a .dsf from Jellyfin or Navidrome was not losing its format, it was being
    mislabelled as lossless PCM.

The guard is a round-trip over EVERY variant rather than a "DSD parses" test:
adding a variant without an arm now fails here instead of shipping the same
silent loss again. Verified against the real rows: format is stored as "DSD",
so this is a READ-side fix and no rescan is needed.

vicrodh a7b7c1b236 fix(qt): light the playing row for a downloaded track, in every track list
The now-playing affordance — the accent pill on the row's left edge and the
eq bars in the number cell — never appeared for an offline row on the very
view it was played from. `TrackRow` asked one question,

  QbzPlayer.npTrackId === item.id

and for a `qobuz_download` row the two sides come from different id spaces:
the queue id is the QOBUZ CATALOG id (the offline tier is keyed on it) while
every Local Library list draws the row with its `library.db` id. They never
matched, so the row sat dark while its own audio played.

The reference has a second published id for exactly this and the port never
carried it over: `NowPlayingState.local-track-id` (playback.rs:1978-1986).
This adds its twin, `QbzPlayer.npLocalTrackId`, and makes the row match
either.

Published for Offline rows ONLY, and that restriction is the safety of it:
`source_item_id_hint` is a shared slot carrying a Plex ALBUM key and a media
server's own item id for those sources, so publishing it unconditionally
would hand a list a number from another id space and light the wrong row.
It stays empty elsewhere, which makes the second test inert there.

Scope checked by driving the window rather than reasoned about: the pill and
the play glyph land on the right row for local user files, Plex, Jellyfin and
Subsonic both before and after this change — offline was the only source
whose id diverged. The other three surfaces that ask the same question need
no alias: the queue panel and the kiosk album carry queue ids, and the
purchases list carries catalog ids.

qbz-qt 431/431, 4 QML audits green.

vicrodh 8c3514b899 fix(qt): play a downloaded album from Local Library through the offline tier
A CMAF download's `local_tracks.file_path` is the BUNDLE DIRECTORY
(`tracks-cmaf/<qobuz_id>/`, holding `init.mp4` and an encrypted
`segments.bin`), not a playable container. `LocalSource::playback` handed
it back as a `PlaybackTicket::File`, the read failed with EISDIR, and the
audible step reported it as

  audible: file not available at …/tracks-cmaf/266725026 (drive unmounted?)

— a message about a drive, for a bundle sitting on the local disk. The bar
adopted the track anyway, so the album looked like it was playing and no
audio came out.

Three funnels reach the audible step and only two excluded an offline row:
`play_current_if_local` (auto-advance) and
`playback_qt::play_resolved_offline_aware`. The Local Library PLAY funnel
did not, nor did its hand-copy in `local_album_actions`. Only qbz-core's
offline tier can decrypt the bundle, and the row carries the real Qobuz
catalog id precisely so that tier can be asked for it.

- `local_playback::play_audible` is now the ONLY copy of the audible step
  and routes an offline row to the offline tier; `local_album_actions`
  drops its copy and calls it.
- `LocalSource::playback` refuses an offline row with `BadIdShape` instead
  of emitting a ticket that lies. The test is on the row data, never
  `is_dir()`: a stat there would block for the mount timeout on the
  unreachable share the audible step's bounded probe exists to survive.
- Tests run the row through the real `local_queue_track`, because the two
  halves that must agree are its source word and the badge the router reads.

Verified by driving the window: album play, track-row play and skip-next all
log `[Core] track ... served from OFFLINE cache` and decode at 44.1 kHz /
24-bit; a plain user-file album still plays through the local audible step at
96 kHz / 24-bit. qbz-qt 431/431, qbz-source 91/91.

vicrodh 900517db57 fix(qt): size the filter flyout to its content, not to 372px
The Slint original sized a fixed card around THREE source chips. This
port now has five — Plex plus the two media servers — and the row ran
to the card's edge, with the last chip all but touching the border.

The 372px becomes a floor and the width is derived from the widest chip
row plus the 16px padding on each side, capped so the card can never run
past the left edge. That also survives a UI-scale bump or a language
whose labels are longer, neither of which a fixed number can.

`implicitWidth` is safe to measure here: a Row sums its children and a
non-wrapping Text reports its natural width, so nothing in the chain
reads the card width back and there is no binding loop. An invisible
chip contributes nothing, so the card is narrower when a server is not
configured.

vicrodh 021b5609e1 feat(qt): the Albums funnel survives navigation and restarts
The filter worked but forgot itself twice over: leaving Local Library
reset it, and so did closing the app. The first one is not a bug in the
view, it is what this port does — navigating away DESTROYS the view
(project_qt_nav_eager_tabs), so a `property var filter: ({})` cannot
outlive a trip to Discover.

Both follow from one move: the funnel lives on the BRIDGE, mirrored into
the shared ui_prefs.json. The bridge outlives the view, and the file
outlives the process, so one property buys both kinds of persistence.

`setFilter()` is the only writer, so a mutator cannot change the funnel
and forget to persist it, and the view re-seeds from a Connections on
the qproperty rather than only at construction — a republish has to
reach a view that is already open.

The saved funnel is pruned where the source GATES are published, not
somewhere else, so the two can never disagree: a restored `jellyfin`
tick with no Jellyfin configured would match zero rows while the chip
that clears it is hidden by the same gate — an empty grid with a badge
counting a filter the user cannot see. Only the media-server keys are
pruned; local/offline/plex are always meaningful words.

Verified: ticked Jellyfin, went to Discover and back (badge and grid
held), restarted the process (held), pressed Clear (ui_prefs went to
{}). The prune is reasoned, not exercised — both servers are configured
on this box, so no gate is off to test it against.

vicrodh 1a2ebcf146 fix(qt): re-seed a line edit on the CHANGE, never on the focus loss
`QbzLineEdit` restored the owner's value with

    Binding { target: input; property: "text"; value: root.text
              when: !input.activeFocus }

and a Binding re-asserts whenever its condition flips, so BLURRING the
field wrote `root.text` back over whatever had been typed.

A SEARCH field never noticed: it fires `edited()` per keystroke, the
owner republishes, and `root.text` is already what the user typed. A
FORM field is the opposite — it reports on `committed()` and the owner
holds the value until Save — so `root.text` is still the stored value,
which for a password is the literal `""` that is deliberately never
prefilled. Every blur erased the field.

Measured in the media-server panel: username and password wiped each
other, so a Subsonic server could not be signed into by hand at all.
The stored state was in fact correct the whole time — `onCommitted`
fires on focus loss and captures the value before the Binding clears
the view — which is why this survived the Jellyfin round: the form
worked, it just did not look like it.

A republish IS a change to `root.text`; a focus loss is not. Reacting
to the change alone keeps the documented case (an external Reset
re-seeds an unfocused field) and drops the destructive one.

Verified in the window: password survives blurring into the username
box; the Tracks search keeps its query after a blur; the × still
collapses the expandable search with no stale query snapping back.

vicrodh 4ba4d336d0 fix(qt): route every server album key to the local view, not /album/get
`open_album` asks `is_local_feed_id` whether an album id belongs to the
local detail view or to the Qobuz catalog, and that gate's whole
vocabulary was the literal prefix `"plex:"`. A `jellyfin:<itemId>` key
answered NO, went to Qobuz's `/album/get`, 404'd, and the view NAVIGATED
AND LANDED EMPTY — not only from the now-playing bar: every caller of
that router shares the gate (the queue, "go to album" in a row menu, the
Library ALL feed).

None of the other clauses caught it either: a Jellyfin item id is 32-char
hex, so it carries neither `/` nor `|`.

Spelled through `SourceId::from_word` instead of a second prefix list, so
the Subsonic brand spellings come along and the next source does not have
to remember this site. `qobuz:` stays excluded — it is a legal word and a
catalog id.

Verified on the bench: playing a Jellyfin track and clicking the album in
the bar opens KARAOKE FIRE!! with its 17 tracks and the playing row
highlighted.

vicrodh 8b4e0e92b8 fix(qt): treat every server source as non-catalog, not just Plex
Three places still spelled "not a Qobuz row" as "local or plex", which
made a Jellyfin or Subsonic row fall into the catalog class:

- Library ALL feed stamped the album source from the ID PREFIX
  (`plex:`), so every media-server album came out as "local" and drew
  the local hard-drive badge. Reads the row's own `source` word now —
  byte-identical for local and Plex, correct for the rest. The same
  failure `local_rows::badge_source` had.
- TrackRow's `localSourceRow` gated "Add to playlist" and the offline
  download entry. A Jellyfin row counted as a catalog row, so the menu
  offered to send a namespaced synthetic id to the Qobuz playlist API,
  which adds an UNRELATED track. An allowlist, not `!== "qobuz"`:
  "offline" is an offline-CACHED Qobuz row whose id IS a catalog id.
- AlbumCard hid "Block this album" on local/plex only, so a server album
  offered to blacklist an id the Qobuz catalog never had.

`feed_track_to_queue` is taught the words too. Media-server TRACKS do
not ride that feed today (only their albums do), so that one is the
guard learning the vocabulary before it is needed rather than a live
fix — its existing test, which pins that a local id must never resolve
as the Qobuz track carrying the same number, now covers all of them.

vicrodh 13e938727c feat(qt): merge media-server rows into both local search paths
`media_servers_qt::search_tracks` was written with the rest of the stack
and never called — the compiler's dead-code warning was the only thing
that said so. Both places that merge Plex now merge the media servers
too: the Local Library Tracks tab and the cortinilla's local section.

Two asymmetries are deliberate:

- Page 0 only, in the Tracks tab, for the same reason the Plex arm is
  page 0 only: these caches are bounded sets read whole, so re-merging
  them per page would repeat every remote row once per local page.
- BOUNDED in the cortinilla, unlike the Plex arm. The Plex cache is read
  whole because it always was; a media-server mirror can hold 50k rows
  and that path runs on every keystroke, so it takes the same limit the
  caller asked the local query for.

Verified on the bench: "totsugeki" in the Tracks tab returns Jellyfin
rows first, then the Plex ones.

vicrodh 322b9374fb feat(qt): Jellyfin and Subsonic filter chips in Local Library
The Source row of the filter popup offered Local / Offline cache / Plex,
so a media-server library could be browsed but not narrowed — no Plex
equivalent existed for it.

Adds a chip per media server, each gated on a new bridge property so an
unconfigured server never shows a chip that can only ever return zero
rows (Subsonic stays hidden here, Jellyfin appears).

The fold in applyFilter is the part that is easy to get wrong: rows are
stamped with the BRAND the server reports — navidrome, gonic, airsonic,
astiga — while the chip is the PROTOCOL. Without folding those words to
"subsonic", ticking any source filter would silently drop every row of a
Subsonic library instead of filtering it.

Verified against the live Jellyfin bench: with the chip on, the grid
holds only Jellyfin-badged albums.

vicrodh df409f6c3c fix(qt): resolve media-server art tokens before qbz-models sees them
`qbz-models` is the base of the dependency graph and cannot reach
`qbz-source`, so `artwork_ref_with_plex` knows exactly one remote word:
"plex". A `jellyfin:<albumId>/<tag>` token fell through to its LocalFile
arm, which handed MPRIS a file:// URI to a path that does not exist —
the bar and the queue were fine (they resolve through the Qt art cache),
only MPRIS was blank.

Resolve source-tagged tokens in the Qt layer, where `qbz-source` IS
reachable, and hand qbz-models an already-resolved local path.

Verified over the session bus: a Jellyfin track now reports
mpris:artUrl -> a real 256x256 JPEG in the image cache.

vicrodh d5ce8bcaeb fix(qt): offline-cache rows, Jellyfin playback, and media art on the bar
Three defects the owner found by using it, all mine, all from the same
root: a source word that stops at Plex.

1. AN OFFLINE-CACHE ROW PLAYED NOTHING.

     audible: file not available at …/audio/tracks-cmaf/426056576

   `SourceId::from_word` folds `qobuz_download` into LOCAL because the row
   IS a file — but for a CMAF-cached download that "file" is the offline
   cache's own container and only `qbz-core`'s offline tier can read it.
   IC-12's first pass declared those rows ours and handed them to the
   local audible step. They now stay on the Qobuz funnel, which is where
   they were before stage 3 and where their `QueueTrack.id` — the real
   catalog id — is meant to be resolved. The symptom was the bar, the
   queue and MPRIS all changing while the previous track kept playing.

2. A JELLYFIN ROW CHANGED THE BAR AND PLAYED NOTHING.

   `local_queue_track` folded everything that was not Plex or a download
   into "local", so the row entered the queue wearing a source word that
   disagreed with its namespaced id and carrying no server id at all.
   Both media words are now arms of their own, and the hint carries the
   SERVER's item id — which `claim` prefers, because it survives a cache
   rebuild that renumbers rowids.

3. MEDIA ART NEVER REACHED THE BAR, THE QUEUE OR MPRIS.

   Those surfaces resolve an `artwork_url` string with no row in hand, so
   `classify` has only the SHAPE to go on — and a Jellyfin image tag or a
   Subsonic coverArt id has no shape worth reading. `local_queue_track`
   now stamps the token SOURCE-TAGGED (`jellyfin:<albumId>/<tag>`) and
   `classify` grows one arm that DELEGATES it to
   `registry().artwork_token` instead of guessing. One arm, not 111 call
   sites, and it shares its cache entry with the grid because it is the
   same call.

Verified in the running window: a Jellyfin album streams and plays —
`[JELLYFIN/STREAMING] 331 MB @ 12 MB/s`, decoder up, 44.1 kHz to the DAC.

429/429.

vicrodh a3aff5f1b3 fix(qt): resolve artwork per VISIBLE row again, not per row of the document
The albums grid got slower and the owner was right about it. This is the
cause and it is mine.

Stage 4 moved the artwork decision from window time to MAP time so that a
row's provenance would still exist when it was made. That fixed bug 3 and
introduced a worse one: a remote source answers "what is this token" by
reading its CREDENTIALS, and the map runs over every row of the
document, not over the ~50 on screen. `local_plex::settings()` is a
`load_last_user_id` file read, a mutex and a SQLite query — per Plex row.

Measured on the owner's library, release, same grid each time:

  before stage 4 (a string clone)      ~2 µs/row
  after  stage 4 (resolve per row)   39-92 µs/row   <- the regression
  + memoised settings                  ~9 µs/row
  + resolve at window time again      ~1.8 µs/row

  1703 rows: map 67-71 ms  ->  3.0-3.7 ms

The art index now holds `(SourceId, raw token)` instead of a resolved
`ArtRef`. Provenance still survives — nobody sniffs a string, which was
the whole point — but the resolution happens where it always did, in
`resolve_window_blocking`, over the keys actually on screen. Same
information, right place.

The settings memo stays, in both `local_plex` and `media_servers_qt`:
those accessors are cheap gates that several callers ask repeatedly, and
every writer invalidates so a connect, a disconnect or a user switch is
still seen on the next read.

`search_local` keeps resolving inline on purpose — it is the cortinilla's
bounded 76-row result set, and the url/path split it needs is per row by
definition.

428/428. Grid verified in the running window: Plex, Jellyfin and local
badges all correct, covers resolving.

vicrodh f2d8111721 perf(qt): instrument the albums load — sql, map, serialize
The albums document is republished on every mount of Local Library (five
times in a 37-second screencast) and there was NO instrument anywhere on
that path, so "the grid got slower" could only be argued about rather
than measured.

Three segments, because three different things could cost: the SQL (which
now ATTACHes two mirrors and UNIONs three sources), the row mapping
(which resolves an ArtRef per row since stage 4), and the JSON handed to
QML.

Measured on the owner's library, release build:

  1703 rows (local + Plex + Jellyfin)  sql 59-88ms  map 67-71ms  ser 2ms
  1271 rows (local + Plex)             sql 42-88ms  map 50-117ms
    29 rows (local only)               sql 3-7ms    map 0.06ms

The two large configurations overlap within noise: 432 more rows cost
nothing measurable in Rust, and serialisation of 593 KB is 2 ms. Whatever
the grid pays for row count is paid AFTER this line — the QML parse and
the delegate rebuild — which is exactly what Rust could not see before
and what these numbers now bound.

vicrodh 3cfce8a769 feat(qt): the media-server settings panel, driven and verified in the window
ONE component instantiated twice, because it is one form twice. Every
difference between the protocols is a property set at the call site, so
they are visible in one place instead of drifting across two files:
"Test" proves the address for Jellyfin and only "a Subsonic server
answered" for Subsonic (which has no credential-free endpoint), the
password is discarded for Jellyfin and kept for Subsonic (no session,
md5(password+salt) per request), and the sync cost is stated up front —
45.8 s per 4924 tracks against 0.81 s per 6678 — so a long sweep does not
read as a hang. The credential never leaves Rust; the panel gets
`hasCredential`.

Assets: the colour marks for cards, the monochrome ones for rows. Both
mono files arrived as BLACK ink and are invisible on a dark theme
untinted, so they were normalised to the #ffffff master ink and joined
`icon_tint_qt::MASTERS` — the port's only shader-free way to recolour an
SVG per theme. The Jellyfin colour asset had a white rounded-rect plate
behind the mark; it was stripped, because every other brand mark here is
transparent and a white tile beside them reads as a rendering bug.
Rendered with Qt itself and looked at before any of it was wired.

CAVEAT, recorded in SourceIcon: the Subsonic mark is NAVIDROME's logo,
and `subsonic` covers Gonic, Airsonic, Astiga and Ampache too. `ping`
reports the server's own type and it is already persisted, so branching
later is cheap — a known wrongness, not an unnoticed one.

THREE BUGS THAT ONLY THE RUNNING WINDOW COULD SHOW, all found by
driving it under Xvfb rather than by reading the log:

1. `MediaServerSettings is not a type` — a .qml missing from build.rs is
   not in the QML module. It resolves fine on disk, compiles nothing,
   and blanks the WHOLE settings page at runtime. All three existing
   audits passed. `qml_module_registration_audit.py` is the missing
   check and is now in the gate.
2. The toggle would not move. The panel reads its state from the
   settings DOCUMENT, unlike Plex's toggle which reads a bridge
   property, so every mutation has to republish it — connect, enable,
   disconnect and the end of a sweep now do.
3. Every Jellyfin album in the grid drew the LOCAL HARD-DRIVE badge:
   `local_rows::badge_source` had never been taught the two words and
   folded them into `_ => local`. Not cosmetic — that string is what the
   source chips filter on.

`play_single_from_source` also grew the arm it needed: a media-server row
from the recently-played rail has no library.db row to mint a LocalTrack
from, so it resolves through `registry.tracks_of` instead.

END TO END, from the UI, against the real server: toggle on -> type the
address -> Connect -> "jellyfin sync: 500/4924 ... 4924 saved, 0 pruned,
4924 cached" -> Local Library shows 461 albums with their covers and the
Jellyfin badge. The cached quality distribution is identical to what the
server reported in the original protocol sweep.

428/428.

vicrodh 63a4f2daf1 feat(qt): the Local Library union, the settings store and the sweep
Three pieces that only mean anything together: rows in the shared cache,
a union that shows them, and settings that decide whether either
happens.

THE UNION. `get_albums_metadata_page` grows a second, INDEPENDENT
attachment. `plex_cache` stays; `remote_cache` is the shared mirror, and
they attach separately on purpose — a missing Plex cache must not cost
the user their Jellyfin rows. `attach_best_effort` is extracted because
the failure mode of a botched ATTACH is a silently local-only library,
and a failure stays non-fatal: refusing to list any albums because one
server is off turns "Jellyfin is unplugged" into "your library is
empty".

The union takes an ENABLED-SOURCES list, not just a path. The mirror
holds every remote source, so the master toggle has to be a filter
rather than a detach: turning Jellyfin off must hide Jellyfin's rows and
leave Subsonic's alone. That predicate is interpolated into SQL, so it
is VALIDATED rather than escaped — only [a-z] survives, an all-invalid
list yields `0` (show nothing, the safe direction), and a test feeds it
`x'; DROP TABLE local_tracks; --`.

The remote group key is `<source>:<album id>`, matching Plex's
`plex:<hash>`. That namespaces two servers using the same album id AND
lets a source claim an album card that arrives with no source word,
which is every card that round-trips through a QML string property —
`recognises` grew that arm and `claim` strips the prefix, because
carrying it inward is how Plex ended up with two album keys only one of
its queries understood (IC-2).

THE SETTINGS. One store for both servers, keyed by a `server` column,
mirroring the shared-cache decision. What each protocol needs differs
and `is_configured` is the one place that knows: Jellyfin needs its
issued token, Subsonic needs a password because it has no session and
re-derives `md5(password + salt)` per request.

Two identifiers are minted once and persisted, and both are
load-bearing. Jellyfin's DeviceId, because re-authenticating under the
same one revokes the previous token — a constant would make two installs
log each other out, a fresh one per launch drops the last run's token.
Subsonic's salt, because rolling it per request makes every cover URL
unique and the artwork cache keys on the URL.

THE SWEEP. In the frontend, where the runtime and the progress UI are,
writing through the cache handle the SOURCE owns so sweep and reads can
never point at different users. Jellyfin gets progress and a delta path
(45.8 s for 4924 rows); Subsonic needs neither (0.81 s for 6678).
`prune_stale` runs only after a COMPLETED full sweep — a delta never
prunes, because it deliberately does not see unchanged rows and would
read every one of them as deleted. `last_sync_at` is stamped only on
success for the same reason.

Verified against the running binary, twice:

  source registry bound: local_tracks=617 plex=connected
    ephemeral_store=yes remote=none configured
  jellyfin: minted a device id for this install
  subsonic: minted a salt for this install

...and on the second launch, zero re-mints and the same values on disk —
which is the property that keeps a Jellyfin session alive.

vicrodh 51aa8ba081 test(source): walk the whole chain against both real servers
The unit tests prove each method in isolation against a hand-made row.
They cannot prove the thing that actually broke this project once: that
the pieces are CONNECTED. `source_wiring` shipped a registry whose
sockets were empty and every test stayed green, because a pure-function
test has no bound user and a structural gate only proves the OLD path is
gone.

So this walks it: sweep a real page off the server, write it through the
same mapping the sync will use, bind the source exactly as the app binds
it, then claim -> tracks -> meta -> artwork -> playback, and finish by
pulling real bytes through the url the source produced. Nothing is
asserted from a type; everything is asserted from a server's answer.

The assertion with the most teeth is the identity round trip. A queue
row as `cached_to_queue_track` builds it — namespaced id plus the
server's id in the hint — must claim back to the server's id, and the
same row must ALSO resolve with no hint at all, through the cache. Those
are the two shapes a producer can hand over, and a mismatch between them
is bug 2 wearing a new source's clothes.

`assert_serves_audio` issues a Range request, which is what the
progressive feeder does: it checks seekability, refuses a chunked
(transcoding) answer, runs the Subsonic error-envelope guard over the
body, and keeps the test to 64 KB instead of a 100 MB FLAC.

Against the bench, 3/3:

  jellyfin  swept 500 of 4924 -> album "...And Justice For All",
            9 tracks, tier "hires", cover image/jpeg (tokenless,
            self-keying), stream 206 audio/flac
  subsonic  navidrome openSubsonic=true, swept 500 -> album
            "POWERS OF VOICE (Disc 1)", 13 tracks, tier "cd",
            cover image/webp keyed on subsonic:al-…_0 rather than on
            the credentialed url, stream 206 audio/flac
  registry  each namespace routed to its owner, and a Plex id still
            goes to Plex

The third needs no server and runs everywhere.

vicrodh b09f03b739 feat(source): JellyfinSource and SubsonicSource — §10's acceptance test, paid
Design 02 §10 predicted a fourth source would be "one impl plus one
registration line, zero edits in any view". Two of them landed, and the
prediction held: no arm in any view, none in the playback router, none
in the artwork pipeline, no entry in a url taxonomy. Every one of those
became structural during stages 3 and 4, which is what this commit is
the receipt for.

One honest correction to that claim, now written in sources/mod.rs: it
was true only AFTER stages 3 and 4. From stage 1 the seam existed but
playback and artwork never asked it anything, so a source added earlier
would have claimed correctly and then been silent and coverless.

`sources/remote.rs` holds what the pair shares — the cache handle and
the row mappers — so they cannot drift the way the three copies of
play_audible did. The two conversions that are easy to get backwards
(ms -> s, Hz -> kHz) live there once, with a test.

Identity, and it is the part with teeth. A queue row carries BOTH the
namespaced id the grid published and the server's own id in the hint,
and `claim` prefers the hint: rowids are reassigned by a cache rebuild,
the server's id is not, so a queue that outlives a re-sync still
resolves. Recognition is by source word or namespace bit ONLY — never by
the shape of an opaque id. A Jellyfin item id is a 32-char hex GUID and
a Subsonic one is base62, but neither is guaranteed, and inferring a
source from a string's alphabet is the class of guess the seam deletes.
Both sources are tested against every neighbouring floor: Plex's 1<<40,
each other's, the ephemeral store's 1<<48, and a plain local rowid.

The Subsonic brand spellings — navidrome, gonic, airsonic, astiga — fold
to ONE source. They speak one API and QBZ reads them through one impl,
so a row stamped with the server's brand must still resolve; returning
None would make it Unclaimed and it would refuse to play.

Artwork differs between the two, and only because the protocols do.
Jellyfin's cover url carries no credentials, so it is stable and its
cache_key can be the url itself. Subsonic's carries the salt and the
size, so its key is the opaque coverArt id instead — keying on the url
would re-download every cover whenever either moved, and would put a
credential in a cache key.

Both playback tickets are Stream with the bit-perfect contract spelled
out: `?static=true` for Jellyfin, `format=raw` for Subsonic, and tests
that fail if `audioCodec` or `maxBitRate` ever appear.

One test had to be rewritten rather than deleted: `from_word("jellyfin")
== None` was the example for "unknown words are not guessed into Qobuz".
The property still holds and is now spelled with "emby".

qbz-source 84/84, qbz-media-cache 11/11, qbz-qt still builds clean.

vicrodh 0dfec607c2 feat(media-cache): one cache table for every remote server
The Local Library union works by ATTACHing a remote server's mirror and
UNIONing it with local_tracks, and today that mechanism names Plex
inside a shared crate: `get_albums_metadata_page(..., plex_cache_path)`
with `FROM plex_cache.plex_cache_tracks` hardcoded twice. Copying it per
source means three Option<&Path> parameters and six UNION arms, and
every future source pays again.

This is the generic form: one table with a `source` discriminator, one
ATTACH, one UNION arm. The schema is `plex_cache_tracks` with its
columns renamed — all 19 map 1:1 onto Jellyfin and Subsonic, which is
what made "generic" a measurement rather than a guess.

Plex is deliberately NOT migrated here. It is a live table with 17145
rows on the owner's install, and folding it in alongside two new sources
would make one commit where a regression could come from either. This
table proves itself with Jellyfin and Subsonic first; Plex moves in as
its own change with its own verification. The cost until then is a
second ATTACH in one SQL builder, which is cheaper than the risk.

Identity: the namespaced Local Library id is `FLOOR | rowid`, with
Jellyfin at 1<<41 and Subsonic at 1<<42 — disjoint from Plex's 1<<40 and
the ephemeral store's 1<<48, asserted against both. The payload is this
table's AUTOINCREMENT rowid, NOT a hash of the server's id. Plex had to
hash because its ids predate its cache, which is why resolving one costs
a table scan; a new table has no such debt, and at ~50k tracks a 40-bit
hash carries ~0.1% odds of a collision that would play the WRONG TRACK.

Writes are UPSERT on (source, item_id), never delete-then-insert: the
row id is published identity — it sits inside queue entries and
session.db — so a re-scan must not mint a new one for a track that was
already there. AUTOINCREMENT for the same reason: a freed id must never
be handed to a different track. Both are pinned by tests.

`prune_stale` keys on updated_at rather than a set of ids, so a 50k
sweep needs no giant IN(...) — with the documented precondition that it
only runs after a sweep that COMPLETED, since a dropped connection
halfway through would otherwise read as "the server deleted everything
it did not get to".

11 tests, including the id-namespace matrix against the two existing
floors and the untagged-track ordering (75 of 4924 measured Jellyfin
rows carry no track number and must not sort above track 1).

vicrodh 0f41c44dac feat(subsonic): the protocol crate, with the HTTP-200 trap enforced in code
Stage 5's second protocol crate. One client for Navidrome, Gonic,
Airsonic, Astiga and Ampache — which is why the owner scoped this as
"Subsonic, not just Navidrome". Only Navidrome 0.63.2 was on the bench,
so the places servers are likely to differ are named rather than
smoothed over.

The dangerous property of this protocol is that it reports FAILURE with
HTTP 200. `error_for_status()` passes on a refusal. Three defences, all
in code rather than in a reviewer's memory:

- `parse_envelope` is the only way a body becomes a payload, and it
  checks `subsonic-response.status` first. It also accepts XML on the
  failure path, because the measured no-credential getCoverArt reply came
  back as XML DESPITE `f=json` — a JSON-only parser would report "not
  understood" for a perfectly clear "missing parameter: 'u'".
- `looks_like_audio` exists because a refused stream is a ~200-byte JSON
  blob served as the audio body. That is the one way this feature could
  reach the protected decoder with garbage.
- code 40 and 70 become their own variants, so a caller can act on
  "re-authenticate" without matching on prose.

Two mapping decisions worth stating: `duration` is SECONDS on the wire
and milliseconds in QBZ, and `bitDepth` is **0** for a lossy track where
Jellyfin reports null — both sentinels fold to None so downstream sees
one vocabulary rather than two.

The salt is FIXED per install, not rolled per request. Rolling looks
more careful and would make every cover URL unique per request, which
re-downloads every cover on every pass since the artwork cache keys on
the URL. It buys nothing: the password is not transmitted either way.
The consequence is recorded where it matters — a cover URL carries
credentials, so callers must key their cache on the opaque coverArt id.

`detect_sweep_mode` ASKS rather than checks the server's name: search3
with an empty query is 14 requests for this library and getAlbumList2 +
getAlbum is 675, but the fast path is the behaviour most likely to
differ on a server that was never tested, and probing one page costs
~100 ms.

14 unit tests + 6 live. The live suite runs in PARALLEL by design —
Subsonic auth is stateless, so unlike Jellyfin nothing here can revoke
anything else's session. Against Navidrome 0.63.2, three consecutive
runs, 6/6 each:

  ping ......... navidrome 0.63.2, openSubsonic=true
  wrong pass ... Unauthorized, and the raw request really answered 200
  sweep ........ Search3 detected; page 0 = 500 rows, 344 bit depths
  per-album .... fallback returns 500 album ids, 17 tracks in the first
  stream ....... 206 audio/flac, Content-Range total == the API's own
                 reported file size, so nothing was re-encoded
  cover ........ authed image/webp 69 KB; unauthed HTTP 200
                 application/xml 251 B, rejected by the guard

vicrodh 910f7aec4d fix(jellyfin): one session per test binary — a repeat auth revokes the token
Reported as a flake: four live tests passed and one failed Unauthorized,
while other tests doing the same call succeeded. It is not a flake and
not the server being slow.

Jellyfin keys the SESSION on DeviceId, and a second AuthenticateByName
under the same DeviceId REPLACES the first — the earlier token starts
answering 401. Measured directly against 10.11.11 rather than inferred:

  same DeviceId:      auth -> T1, auth -> T2;  T1 = 401, T2 = 200
  different DeviceId: auth -> A,  auth -> B;   A  = 200, B  = 200

Five tests authenticating in parallel under one DeviceId were therefore
invalidating each other, and whichever finished first was left holding a
dead token. Running with --test-threads=1 hid it, which is why the first
run looked green.

The tests now share one lazily-initialised session, which is also what
the app must do. Two production obligations follow and are now written
on `auth_header` where somebody will read them: the DeviceId must be
stable PER INSTALL (persisted like local_plex::client_id — a constant
would make two QBZ installs log each other out, a fresh id per launch
drops the previous run's token and litters the server's devices page),
and the app must authenticate once and hold the token rather than
concurrently.

Verified in the parallel configuration the report used: 10 unit + 5 live,
three consecutive runs, 5/5 each time.

vicrodh e578d8a54a feat(jellyfin): the protocol crate, verified against a live server
Stage 5's first half. Sibling of `qbz-plex` and deliberately shaped like
it, so `qbz-source`'s JellyfinSource will read like PlexSource:
frontend-agnostic, HTTP + DTOs, no cache schema and no settings store.

Three measured facts shape the file, and each one is a comment because
each one is a decision somebody could otherwise undo:

- `?static=true` is bit-perfect. Verified by md5 against the file on the
  server's own disk, not inferred from a content type. `is_direct_
  response` encodes the tell a transcode leaves — chunked with no
  Content-Length — so a server-side policy silently resampling a hi-res
  track is caught rather than played.
- Quality costs 45.8 s per 4924 tracks and there is no cheaper path.
  `Fields=MediaStreams` trims 29% of the bytes and saves nothing: the
  cost is server-side media-info hydration. The scan will own that
  knowingly, which is why `track_count` exists to give a progress
  denominator.
- Cover urls need no credentials, so unlike a Plex thumb they are STABLE
  and their cache key can be the url itself.

`stream_url` / `image_url` are free functions rather than methods. Two
reasons and both are load-bearing: `Source::artwork_token` may not touch
the network by contract, and a `reqwest::Client` cannot even be
CONSTRUCTED without a rustls provider — which a unit test does not have.

The mapper picks the audio stream BY TYPE, not by position: an embedded
cover rides in the same MediaStreams array as an `mjpeg` with BitDepth 8,
and taking [0] would badge a 24-bit FLAC as 8-bit. A lossy row keeps an
absent bit depth rather than defaulting to 16, which would badge every
MP3 as CD quality.

10 unit tests, plus 5 LIVE tests that skip unless QBZ_JELLYFIN_URL names
a server. The unit tests prove the JSON shape is understood; only the
live ones can prove the endpoint still exists, the token still opens it,
and the stream is still direct. Against Jellyfin 10.11.11: 5/5 — 500-row
page with 221 real bit depths of 4924 total, a Range request answered
206 with a `fLaC` bitstream, a tokenless cover, and a future-dated delta
returning zero.

vicrodh 604f336e24 fix(qt): wire the source registry to its stores — it never was
This is the regression report from the previous build, and the cause is
that stage 1 built three injection sockets and nothing ever plugged into
them. `set_creds`, `set_ephemeral` and `bind_user` had zero call sites
in the entire frontend.

It stayed invisible for two stages because nothing needed them:
`claim` is pure, and `PlexSource::tracks`/`meta` read plex_cache.db
through qbz-plex's own global. The first consumers that DO need them are
playback and artwork — stages 3 and 4 — so routing those onto the seam
turned a latent gap into a live break:

- every Plex row: "plex: not configured (no Plex credentials
  configured)", so Plex playback died and every Plex cover in the Local
  Library grid resolved to ArtRef::Unavailable and vanished;
- every LOCAL row: an unbound DbPool refuses all reads, so LocalSource
  found no track and local playback died too;
- ephemeral rows had no session store to resolve against.

Wired now, each to the ONE authority that already existed: PlexCreds
over local_plex's settings store (read per call, never cached, so a
connect/disconnect mid-session is picked up), EphemeralTracks over the
session store, bind_user as the first statement of
bind_per_user_stores, teardown on logout, and the unbound-window
fallback so pre-login reads resolve the way local_state::with_db already
resolves them.

Also wired: the album identity mode. The grouping IS the query, so a
metadata-mode user's album play would have resolved a different track
list than the grid rendered.

`report_wiring` logs one line at bind time asking each socket a question
only a wired one can answer. The failure this fixes is silent by
construction — an unbound pool and a disabled Plex look identical to a
user with no local tracks and Plex switched off — and it stayed hidden
because the tests are pure-function tests and the structural gate only
proves the OLD path is gone, never that the new one is connected.

Verified against the running binary, not the test suite:
  source registry bound: local_tracks=617 plex=connected
  ephemeral_store=yes

vicrodh 68235a4012 refactor(qt): the Local Library art index carries an ArtRef, not a string
Design 02 §9 stage 4, the Local Library half. `local_state.art_index`
becomes `HashMap<String, ArtRef>`: the row mappers register what the
row's OWN source says its artwork token means, at the last moment that
provenance still exists, and the windowed pipeline reads that answer
instead of re-deriving it.

`artwork_qt::classify` is gone from every caller outside artwork_qt
itself. It recognised a Plex thumb only because `local_plex::
is_thumb_path` was bolted onto it, so a token from any future source
that starts with `/` — a Jellyfin `/Items/<id>/Images/Primary` — matched
its filesystem-path arm and the pipeline opened it from disk: blank
cover, no error, nothing in the log. That is bug 3.

Producers wired: both row mappers, the folder tree (two sites), the
ephemeral pane, the album-detail header and the Artists rail.

The Artists rail needed real work rather than a cast. Its portrait comes
from one of three chain tiers (custom image, Plex portrait, borrowed
album cover) while `MergedArtist.source` describes the artist's LIBRARY
provenance and is legitimately "mixed" — which is not a source a token
can be interpreted by. `AlbumCredit` now carries its album's source word
so a borrowed cover keeps that cover's provenance, and `MergedArtist`
reports `image_source` beside `source`.

`fetch_plex_misses` carries `(artKey, fetch url, cache key)` instead of
collapsing the last two. They are not the same string — a Plex url is
re-tokenized every pass and a Qobuz one carries a size query, while the
key stays put — and collapsing them re-downloads covers already on disk.
`artwork_qt` grows `cached_path_for` / `download_pairs`, the
classification-free entries, sharing one download loop with
`download_missing` rather than a second copy of the pool and the
error-page guard.

Still on the old path and NOT in this commit: the Home / queue /
now-playing surfaces, where the string arrives as `HomeCard.art_url` or
`QueueTrack.artwork_url`. Those need IC-7 (HomeCard has no source field)
and the eight hardcoded `"source": "qobuz"` QML payloads first.

vicrodh ffb35085c9 feat(source): each source interprets its own raw artwork token
Design 02 §9 stage 4 needs the art index to carry an ArtRef instead of a
String, and the producers of that index are the row mappers, which hold
no MediaRef — the windowed grid pipeline is keyed by art_key (§3.4). The
two ways to give them one were both bad: sniff the string later (that is
`artwork_qt::classify`, i.e. bug 3), or claim per visible row and let
the source look the token up again, which for Plex is one plex_cache.db
query per row on a cold grid — on the exact grid whose scroll cost is
the open perf item.

`Source::artwork_token` is the artwork analogue of `claim`: the source
says what its OWN token means, at the moment provenance is still known.
It is pure — no network, no DB, no filesystem — because the token is the
whole input.

This is what makes stage 5 free. `classify` recognises a Plex thumb only
because somebody bolted `local_plex::is_thumb_path` onto it, so a
Jellyfin token (`/Items/<id>/Images/Primary`) reads as a filesystem path
— it starts with `/` — and the pipeline opens it from disk: blank cover,
no error, nowhere to look. Dispatching by owner removes the guess.

Three impls, each carrying the arm of `classify` that was really about
it: Local (file:// and absolute paths, plus the CDN url an offline row
can keep), Plex (the two declared thumb prefixes, Unavailable rather
than None when there are no credentials), Qobuz (CDN url, cache_key on
the RAW url so downscaling does not re-download per size class).

An unregistered source returns None, not Unavailable: a row whose source
word this build does not know has no art to wait for, and Unavailable
would park it in the retry-when-connected bucket forever.

vicrodh 22033672a1 fix(qt): claim the row before the Qobuz funnel, and before casting it
Two remaining stage-3 consumers.

`play_resolved_offline_aware` is the QOBUZ entry — the tier walk, the
offline cache, the quality request — and every MyQBZ and album play arm
sent its anchor there regardless of who owned the row. A local,
ephemeral or Plex first track resolved and then failed AT THE PLAYER
with "No Qobuz client available", which `myqbz_play_qt`'s own header
documented as open. It was also unsafe: the offline cache is keyed on
the raw u64, and a local_tracks rowid or a Plex rating key shares that
small-integer space with older Qobuz ids, so a collision played the
wrong track rather than failing cleanly (#638 fix 3's sharp edge).

The funnel now claims the row first and hands a non-Qobuz one to
audible_qt, which fixes all six call sites without touching a signature.
The claim is gated on the core's cursor already sitting on that track —
true for every caller, since they all set the queue and then play its
anchor — so a caller that plays some other id behaves exactly as before
instead of guessing.

`cast_qt::resolve_local_path` becomes a PlaybackTicket consumer (IC-10).
It was an ephemeral test plus a bare db.get_track on a QueueTrack.id,
which is only sometimes a library.db rowid: a Plex row carries a
namespaced id and an offline row carries the Qobuz catalog id, so both
missed and reported "Local file not found" — an answer naming the wrong
problem. Now File/DsdFile is servable and everything else is a named
refusal, which covers every remote source by construction rather than
the one word somebody thought to list. The Plex arm stays an early
refusal so it does not pay a network round trip to build a url it would
throw away.

Structural gate: no plex_resolve_track_media / plex_rating_key left in
qbz-qt outside comments. Four source-word matches remain on purpose —
local_queue_track STAMPS the word (producer side, not consumer),
play_single_from_source looks up a ROW rather than playing it,
cast's early refusal above, and batch_all_qconnect_castable, which asks
"does this row have a real Qobuz catalog id?" — a different question
from ownership, and one SourceId cannot answer since qobuz_download maps
to LOCAL while being castable.

vicrodh a55e426330 refactor(qt): collapse the three audible steps into one PlaybackTicket match
Design 02 §9 stage 3. `local_playback::play_audible`,
`local_album_actions::play_audible` and `local_ephemeral::play_file` were
three near-copies of the same routine, each matching on `track.source`
by hand, and they had already drifted:

- `local_playback` carried the `plex_rating_key` ladder — one
  engineer's reconstruction of a five-id table nobody wrote down, whose
  fallback is right for the MyQBZ path and wrong for the LocalLibrary
  one. `local_album_actions` held a copy of it, kept in sync by comment.
- both handed `track.id` to `play_local_file` for anything not Plex,
  which is wrong for OFFLINE rows: their `QueueTrack.id` is the Qobuz
  catalog id while the `library.db` row id rides in
  `source_item_id_hint`, so the lookup missed.
- the CUE fast path existed in two shapes. `local_playback` compared
  track ids, and since every virtual track of a CUE album is its own
  row that test only passed when replaying the same virtual track — it
  never fired for the case it exists to serve. `local_ephemeral`
  compared file paths, which is the right question, but only for rows
  in the session store.

`SourceRegistry::playback` now claims the row once and `audible_qt`
performs the ticket. The CUE test becomes exact for every source:
`audible_qt` records what its last `play_data` actually read, so "is
this container already loaded?" is answered against a real path with no
source lookup on the hot path.

`play_current_if_local` stops matching `Some("local") | Some("plex")`
(IC-12). Six source words occur on a queue row and the four it missed —
`user`, `ephemeral`, `qobuz_download`, `qobuz_purchase` — all name
files on disk, so auto-advance onto one fell through to the Qobuz
tier-walk, died with "No Qobuz client available", and
`auto_skip_unavailable` then declined to skip because that error is not
terminal-unavailable: one ephemeral track could stop playback dead.

The whole-body fallback in the streaming arm checks Content-Type and a
minimum length before the bytes reach the player. Plex cannot trip it,
but a Subsonic server answers a refused request with HTTP 200 and a
~200-byte JSON error envelope (measured against Navidrome 0.63.2), and
that must never reach the decoder.

Deleted: `play_local_file`, `play_plex_track`, `plex_rating_key` and its
three tests (the same cases are already pinned on `PlexSource`),
`local_ephemeral::play_file`, and the duplicate `play_audible`.

vicrodh 7113ef5794 feat(source): add PlaybackTicket::Stream and emit it from PlexSource
Design 02 §3.3 predicted a `Stream` variant "when the documented
progressive-streaming follow-up lands". It landed first:
`local_playback::play_plex_track` already resolves the part URL and
Range-streams it through `qbz_player::remote_stream`, keeping the
whole-file download only as the fallback for a server that refuses
Range. Stage 3 cannot route playback through the ticket while the
ticket has no way to say "stream this".

`PlexSource::playback` now calls `plex_resolve_part_url` instead of
`plex_resolve_track_media`: the ticket resolves a LOCATION, it does not
fetch a body. Dropping the old `resolve_track_media` fallback is not a
behaviour loss — both functions run the same metadata request, the same
parse and the same part-key extraction, and only then does the second
also GET the body, so every way the first can fail the second fails
identically. Carrying the url on the ticket also removes the duplicate
metadata round trip the fallback performed.

`duration_secs` comes from the queue row rather than the core's current
track: a caller may be priming a row that is not current yet, where the
core would answer about a different one.

The url embeds credentials (Plex's token, and Jellyfin's / Subsonic's
when they arrive), so `Debug` redacts the query string while keeping the
origin — telling a LAN address from a plex.tv relay is exactly what the
perf log lines exist to answer. Three tests cover the redaction and the
`play_id()` arm.

vicrodh 321d8fe753 fix(qt): align the playlist manager's card grid with its own headings
The grid delegate carried x: 32 on the delegate ROOT. A ListView owns its
delegates' position, so an x set there is not reliably the one that survives
layout, and it did not: the cards sat about 24 px left of "Folders (12)" and
"Playlists (9)", which PmPageHead draws at 32 through its own Column. Headings
at one inset and cards at another, on the same page.

The list and tree delegates right below it already use the shape that works —
a full-width delegate with the inset on the child — so the grid now does too.
The inset lives where the view has no opinion about it.

vicrodh 7e233104f5 feat(import): playlist files, JSON, ListenBrainz and Last.fm as import sources
Implements qbz-nix-docs/deferred-2.0.3/playlist-importer-expansion-design.md,
whose §11 the owner ratified 2026-07-31. PlaylistSource is an enum, not a trait
(ADR-007): the set is closed, there is no plugin story, and every arm resolves
to the same ImportPlaylist the URL scrapers already produce — so the matcher,
the 2000-track split, the sink and the summary never learn a second kind of
source exists.

import_prepared_playlist takes the playlist BY VALUE and
import_public_playlist becomes a shim. That kills the double scrape the Tauri
re-fetch-on-execute left behind, and it is not optional for the new sources:
the rfd bytes of a picked file are gone by execute time and the dialog cannot
silently reopen. It also closes a real race — open() resets the session, so a
modal reopened between the Import click and the task's read handed a detached
task None.

FILES read the track list ONLY. The paths inside are never opened, copied or
added to the Local Library, and the modal says so in a persistent row rather
than a tooltip. Content sniffing beats the extension, with an HLS guard because
.m3u8 is also the stream-manifest extension, and a utf8-then-Windows-1252
fallback because .m3u and .pls predate UTF-8 and "Björk" has to stay matchable.

JSON locates the track list BY SHAPE. Depth is a DoS bound, not a locator: the
array sits at 0, 1, 2 or 3 levels depending on the export, and a hard two-level
rule drops an ordinary GraphQL envelope. Container demotion keeps a discography
from importing album names as track titles. Walls at 16 MiB, depth 8, 2M nodes
and 10k tracks.

SERVICES are public reads with no authentication; a connected account only
prefills the field. No qbz-integrations edge — its ListenBrainz client returns
tracks with no duration and drops the playlist title, both verified in its
source, and a direct GET /1/playlist/<mbid> reads all three in one request.

A Last.fm STATION IS A RADIO, and ?page=N is not pagination. Measured against a
live profile: pages 1 and 2 overlapped and batch sizes varied (20, 20, 36). The
first cut fetched 20 pages, never hit its empty-page exit, and returned 469 rows
holding 198 distinct tracks. It now dedupes as it draws, stops after two dry
draws, and stops at MAX_STATION_TRACKS = 200 — the number shown in "Found N
tracks" has to be one we can deliver, and a station is dynamic enough that a
bigger single import buys little (owner ruling: no false expectations of
"traeré casi 500" when we bring half). A failed draw no longer fails an import
that already has rows; Last.fm rate-limits a burst of these.

The summary reports THREE DISJOINT NUMBERS that sum to the total. skipped is
now counted from the matches that found nothing, not inferred as
total - matched, which folded duplicates into failures: that same import told
the user 271 tracks were skipped when 255 of them had matched perfectly well
and been deduplicated before the add.

23 new strings across the seven translated locales; en is the sparse fallback
catalogue and needs none.

vicrodh c11bdf0654 feat(qt): bring back the New playlist modal, and delete the shortcut
The sidebar "+" called create_playlist(), which made a playlist named literally
"New Playlist" and navigated to it. Four of the modal's five fields had no other
door, and one had NO door at all:

  name          hardcoded          reachable in Edit playlist
  description   always empty       reachable in Edit playlist
  folder        always root        reachable in the sidebar row menu
  public        always false       NOWHERE
  offline-only  from connectivity  NOWHERE for an online user

That last row is why this counts as a regression rather than a rough edge.
offline_only decides whether the playlist is a local_playlists row
(local:<uuid>, library.db, no Qobuz account, never uploaded) or a Qobuz entity,
and the shortcut derived it from connectivity alone — so someone with a Qobuz
session could not create a local playlist without pulling the network cable.

Ported against CreatePlaylistModal.slint plus on_create_playlist
(main.rs:21107) and on_submit (:21496). The submit branches where the reference
branches, and a creation forced local by being offline KEEPS the flag, as the
reference's own note says, so Edit can unmark it later to enable "Upload to
Qobuz".

Two calls made here:

- Create rides the QbzPlaylistEdit singleton rather than getting its own, where
  the reference splits them. Same domain — a playlist's own metadata — with two
  documents that never interact, and a second QObject is a second boot() to
  forget; that bridge's header already documents a missing boot() swallowing
  publishes silently and forever.
- The folder picker hides on the offline-only arm. folders_qt::move_playlist
  takes a u64 and a local:<uuid> has none, so the reference shows the control
  and discards the value.

The shortcut is deleted rather than left beside the modal: a second creation
path that skips it is the fork the port rule forbids. All thirteen strings were
already in the catalogues.

vicrodh e1876c15f0 feat(qt): the artist page's radio disc goes live, with a start-up indicator
The disc was btnEnabled: false with a comment saying neither engine had a seam
on a Qt bridge. Both do now. ArtistPageView.slint:426-461 opens a two-row
dropdown — QBZ Radio (the local qbz-radio pool builder) and Qobuz Radio
(/radio/artist) — and that is what this restores. The smart arm already
shipped behind Discover's spotlight RADIO card and simply was not wired here;
the Qobuz arm is new (get_radio_artist + the same enrich_radio_tracks the album
radio uses, because its track objects are just as bare).

Both labels already exist in all eight catalogues, so no new msgid.

AND THE WAIT IS VISIBLE NOW. A radio is a fetch, an enrich and a queue write;
until the first track resolves nothing on screen moves, so the click read as
dead. QbzCircleAction gains the `loading` arm the reference already has
(CircleAction.slint:18/:77) and QbzHome.radioPending carries the KEY of the
radio being built — "album:<id>" or "artist:<id>" — so the Discover rail spins
only the station that was clicked instead of all six.

The spinner rides QbzShell.pulseMs, NOT a RotationAnimation. Qt Quick has no
partial redraws, so a continuous animator presents the whole window at display
rate (~1.2% GPU per present on the owner's hybrid laptop); a 60 Hz spin for the
seconds a radio takes is exactly the bill the pulse law refuses. 12 degrees per
~30 Hz tick, and the Connections is disabled unless the button is spinning and
on screen, so at rest it writes nothing. theme/QbzSpinner.qml still uses a
RotationAnimation and is deliberately not reused.

On the cards, `loading` also pins the hover disc up: it only exists on hover,
so it vanished the moment the pointer left after a click, which is what made
the click look swallowed.

A RadioGuard disarms the key in Drop, so a bad id, a network error and an empty
result all clear it. A disc spinning forever is worse than no indicator.

vicrodh e816436fd0 feat(qt): remember where each page was scrolled, across back and forward
The port of the block Slint repeats in 27 views (NavState.restore-scope /
scroll-restore / report-scroll). A .slint file cannot hand a component a
reference to a Flickable, which is why the reference inlines it; QML can, so
controls/ScrollMemory.qml exists once and 31 containers mount it.

Two divergences from the reference, both forced by the same fact — tabs are not
history entries in this port:

1. THE SCOPE IS NAMED BY THE VIEW, not derived from the entry by a scope_for
   table. Slint can derive it because its entries carry the tab
   (Favorites { tab }); here an entry is a bare route id, so a derived scope
   would read "library" for all five Library tabs and pour the Albums grid's
   offset into whatever tab mounted. Letting the reporter name its own scope
   buys tab granularity for free, and the mismatch case degrades the right way:
   an unmatched scope restores NOTHING instead of restoring the wrong thing.

2. THE RESTORE RE-ASSERTS instead of firing once. A Qt item view resets
   contentY to 0 whenever its model is replaced, and several pages assign their
   model from a binding whose inputs arrive over the network after the mount —
   the album page rebuilds listCells from three deferred rails, so it hands its
   ListView a new array up to four times in its first seconds and snaps back to
   the top over a restore that already ran correctly. The offset is held and
   re-applied until a 2.5 s deadline, or until the user takes over (a wheel, a
   drag or a flick raises `moving`, and from then the position is theirs).

Diagnostics are off by default: QT_LOGGING_RULES="qbz.nav.scroll.info=true" for
the QML half, RUST_LOG=qbz=debug for the stamp/arm half.

vicrodh 47cab502f4 feat(qt): remember the immersive shader scene, not just the panel triple
"Remember the last immersive view" covered view_mode / mode / split_panel and
NOT the scene, so Plasma, the Spectral Ribbon, the Line Bed and Tunnel Flow
were exactly the views it could not remember. Worse, apply_open force-reset the
scene to Off on EVERY open edge, which is Slint's behaviour
(main.rs:10300-10301) and is only correct because Slint never stored one.

The scene now persists through a custom WRITE on the property, so every writer
funnels through it: the menu rows, the `g` ring and ShaderSceneLayer's
shader-error latch. That last one persisting Off is intended — a scene whose
effect failed to compile on this box must not be what the next open restores.

The open edge restores it behind three gates: the default-view pref is
"remember", the box is on the shader tier (off-tier the scenes render BLACK, so
restoring one would open immersive onto a black rectangle), and the stored
number is a scene this build ships. Any of them failing falls back to the Off
reset, which stays the fallback rather than disappearing.

The pref key is new to the shared ui_prefs.json and unknown to the Slint typed
struct. Worst case there is that a Slint write drops it and this falls back to
Off; the document is not poisoned.

vicrodh 221572b36e fix(qt): hydrate the view a session restore lands on
"Startup page = where you left off" opened Library on an EMPTY page: the feed
was still [] until the user clicked Library in the sidebar. Same hole for
Mixtapes and Collections.

navigate_to is not the only door. A restore mounts its view by calling
nav_qt::record directly from on_session_entered — it must not clear the landing
tab or the detail latch of a session that has not started — and record is
history bookkeeping, nothing more. The per-view lazy load lived inside
navigate_to, so the restore path never ran it.

Split that load into hydrate_view and call it from both doors. Home never
showed the bug because load_home_once is its own unconditional phase of shell
entry; `local` is absent from the arm on purpose and is not a gap, since
LocalLibraryView loads its tab from Component.onCompleted.

vicrodh d1d96e6918 fix(qt): the sidebar playlists menu stops going translucent under ambient
Sidebar.slint:920-922 gives that panel the sidebar's OWN ambient treatment
(surface-card at 50%), and the port copied it. That made it the one menu
surface in the app that reads through the artwork while the dynamic background
is on. Every other menu and flyout paints flat and opaque: QbzContextMenu and
therefore CardMenu, SidebarRowMenu, ViewModeMenu and the audio flyout, plus
NavFlyout, SidebarFolderFlyout, QconnectFlyout, GenreFilterPopup and
LocalFilterPopup. Swept all of them; this was the only outlier.

A menu is text being read against art that moves underneath it, not chrome, so
the outlier loses.

vicrodh da8fc598f8 fix(qt): the immersive trigger only moves right on macOS
9c47d5b2e moved it unconditionally, and it had no business moving on Linux. The
whole reason for the move is that on macOS the band's left edge is the native
traffic lights' corner (x ~ 7-85, the pill's exact spot). Nothing else has
traffic lights, so nothing else had the problem — the control just relocated on
platforms nobody asked about.

Gated on `QbzShell.isMacos && !QbzShell.systemTitleBar`, the same predicate the
view's old `chromeLeftInset` used, so the trailing position appears in exactly
the configuration that motivated it. Everywhere else the trigger is back at
x = 0, where it has always been.

Positioned with `x` rather than swapped anchors: toggling between anchors.left
and anchors.right means clearing one with `undefined` on every flip, and this is
one expression either way.

Built and smoked on Linux (gate green). macOS behaviour is unchanged by this
commit — it was already the trailing one there.

vicrodh 3366cc3997 fix(qt): Metal sides with OpenGL on the RHI mirror, not with Vulkan
The rule was derived from two data points and generalised into a negation:

    owner's Vulkan + mirror=false -> upside-down   (Vulkan needs the mirror)
    Xvfb Mesa GL   + mirror=true  -> upside-down   (GL does not)

"mirror on everything EXCEPT OpenGL" fits both, and it was wrong about the one
API nobody had run. On the Mac mini M2 the Line Bed comes out upside-down, so
Metal wants mirror=false like OpenGL rather than =true like Vulkan — the
generalisation reached a third platform on the strength of a shape it had never
been tested against.

Kept as a NEGATION with Metal excluded rather than rewritten as "Vulkan ||
D3D". Naming the APIs that DO mirror would silently stop mirroring on any enum
this file failed to list: an unknown member is `undefined` in QML and compares
false, so a typo or a future backend would degrade to "no mirror" with no error.
This way only Metal's behaviour changes and every other backend keeps exactly
what it was verified with.

All four RHI scenes carry the line, because the convention belongs to the
graphics API and not to the scene — a per-scene split would be the surprising
result, not the expected one. Only LineBed made it observable: it is the one
directional scene, so a flip reads instantly, where Plasma and TunnelFlow are
near-radial and hide it. RIBBON IS THE ONE TO CHECK NEXT — it is a spectrogram
with a time axis, so if the convention really is per-API it should have been
flipped too, and if it now looks flipped the rule is per-scene after all.

The three sibling headers said "mirror on Vulkan/Metal/D3D" and were corrected
in place; they had become comments that contradict their own code.

Built and smoked on Linux (gate green). The observation this fixes is the
owner's, on the Mac.

vicrodh 9c47d5b2e7 fix(qt): the immersive view trigger moves beside the window controls
It sat at the band's LEFT edge, which on macOS is the traffic lights' corner —
x ~ 7-85, the pill's exact spot. The band was therefore being inset sideways to
make room for one 44px control, and that inset is what read as wrong: the shell
HeaderBar's rule is right for the shell, where the lights head a full toolbar
row, and wrong here, where the row is three floating glass pills over artwork.

Moving the pill instead of the row is the smaller change and the better one. The
left half of the band goes empty and the lights get that corner to themselves;
the search field is CENTRED on the band rather than laid out after the trigger,
so nothing else shifts. Every other platform is unaffected — the trigger simply
changed sides.

Its right margin RESERVES the capsule's expanded width (112) plus a 12px gap
rather than anchoring to the capsule's live left edge. The capsule grows
leftward on hover, so anchoring to it would slide this pill sideways every time
the pointer crossed the other one — motion with no meaning. Reserving the
maximum keeps both still. The radius becomes height/2, the same silhouette as
the capsule it now sits next to.

An earlier attempt dropped the WHOLE band below the lights; it is reverted here.
It moved the search field and the capsule down to solve a problem only the
trigger had.

The capsule stays. Worth recording why, since it looks redundant on macOS and is
only half so: its fullscreen toggle writes `Window.visibility`, which the green
light already does — but its X calls `QbzImmersive.open = false`, which EXITS
IMMERSIVE, and no traffic light can do that. It is one of three exits (Escape
and the player bar are the others) and the only visible one in the chrome.

vicrodh d1fd99f947 refactor(i18n): qbz-i18n owns its catalogues; macOS immersive band drops below the lights
QBZ-I18N WAS NOT FRONTEND-AGNOSTIC, whatever its own header said. No slint or
tauri entry in its Cargo.toml — and eight `include_str!` reaching into
`crates/qbz-ui/translations/`. Deleting the Slint crate, which is planned before
the Qt release, would have failed to compile `qbz-i18n` and with it `qbz-qt`,
i.e. the entire app, over a data directory nobody read as a dependency. The
extraction that created this crate took the code and left the data behind.

The eight .po files move to `crates/qbz-i18n/translations/` (git tracks them as
renames, so history follows) and the includes become `../translations/`.
`qbz-ui/build.rs` borrows them back through `../qbz-i18n/translations` for as
long as that tree exists — the direction of the dependency is what matters, and
it now points the way the deletion needs.

MACOS: THE IMMERSIVE BAND GOES BELOW THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS, not beside them. It
was inset to their right with the shell HeaderBar's rule, which is right for the
shell — the lights sit at the head of a full toolbar row there — and wrong here,
where the row is three floating glass pills over artwork and a 44px pill parked
against the lights reads as debris.

Vertical clearance comes from `SafeArea.margins.top`, the same question the left
inset asks in the other axis: with ExpandedClientAreaHint the client area covers
the titlebar region and SafeArea reports how much of it is unsafe, with a 28px
floor for a 0 reading. The band keeps `leftMargin: 24` on every platform, which
puts the trigger's leading edge in the same 20-24 band the lights start in, and
the 16px gap under them is the band's own margin reused rather than a new
number.

The view trigger matches the cluster's width on macOS (SafeArea left margin,
78 floor): stacked, a 44px pill under a ~78px cluster reads as misaligned even
with the left edges lined up. Its radius becomes height/2 rather than a constant
18, or the widened pill would have been a rounded rectangle beside three
circles. Every other platform keeps the natural 44px, and the glyph was already
centred so it needed nothing.

The menu opens downward from a band that now has more room under it, so the
flyout has more clearance than before rather than less.

Built and smoked on Linux (gate green) and built on the Mac mini M2 (3m32s, no
errors). The macOS geometry itself needs eyes on a Mac.

vicrodh 1352e499f9 fix(qt): the hand-written RHI items now compile on macOS
`build_rhi_items()` compiles the four QQuickRhiItems in `cxx/` with its own
cc::Build, and its macOS arm had never run: those files landed in e6c058c2f on
2026-08-16 and the Mac's last binary was from the 10th. The first build there
failed on all four, and the failure reads like a code error rather than a
toolchain one:

    cxx/linebed_item.h:24:10: fatal error: 'QtCore/QByteArray' file not found
    cxx/plasma_item.h:16:10:  fatal error: 'QtGui/QColor' file not found

Homebrew ships Qt as FRAMEWORKS, and two things follow. `include_paths()`
yields `<libs>/QtCore.framework/Headers`, which cannot satisfy
`#include <QtCore/QByteArray>` — inside that directory `QtCore` is the umbrella
HEADER FILE, not a subdirectory — so frameworks need `-F`, not `-I`. And the
private tree holding `<rhi/qrhi.h>` is not under `QT_INSTALL_HEADERS` at all
there (that prefix carries no `QtGui/`); it lives at
`<libs>/Qt<Module>.framework/Headers/<version>/Qt<Module>`.

Reproduced outside cargo with the exact flags cc-rs emits: the `-I` form fails,
`-F <libs>` compiles clean. The branch keys off `CARGO_CFG_TARGET_OS` rather
than `cfg!()`, because a build script runs on the HOST and the two differ under
cross-compilation. Every path still comes from `qmake -query`, so nothing is
hardcoded and a CI runner needs only Qt on PATH.

The Linux arm is byte-for-byte unchanged. Verified both ways: `cargo check` here
and a full release build on the Mac mini M2 (Qt 6.11.1, Homebrew) — 3m56s, no
errors, binary produced.

The header comment that claimed macOS used "the same layout" is corrected in
place; it was right that the arm was never compiled and wrong about why that
was safe. CI notes for the Qt track — which has no workflows yet — are in
qbz-nix-docs/cicd/qt-macos-build-notes.md.
