Four owner-requested changes to the Qobuz album page, validated by smoke.
1. THE DIVIDER RULE goes invisible rather than away. The gradient band sizes
itself off that item's `y` and the whole column below is positioned after
it, so deleting the item would move the page; only the paint was unwanted.
2. COVER 224 -> 260. Now one constant: the literal was repeated at five sites
— the real header, its skeleton twin, and the two text columns that measure
`parent.width - 224 - 32`. Changing only the header would leave the
skeleton at 224 and make the page jump 36px when the real one replaces it.
The header Row has no explicit height, so it grows on its own.
The URL tier is unchanged (`best()`, per the 2026-08-16 ruling that no
existing surface is re-tiered DOWN); what decodes is RoundedImage's scaled
derivative at the drawn size, so 260 over 224 is ~35% of a small image.
3. THE ATMOSPHERE REACHES MID-TOOLBAR — the 8px spacer below the divider plus
half the 52px toolbar band — so it dies across the quality chip and the
search box instead of stopping at the divider. A named constant rather than
a `mapToItem` chain: that chain crosses three nested containers and goes
stale when an ancestor moves without notifying.
4. THE FALLOFF IS PROGRESSIVE. The tint held FULL strength to 0.82 and died
inside the last 18%, drawing a visible seam — and extending the band made
it worse, not better, because the falloff is a FRACTION of the height: the
solid part grew while the fade stayed as short. The page-surface overlay
underneath started at 0.82 too, putting a second seam on the same line.
Both now decay over the bottom ~60% on an ease-out curve, stepped through
explicit alphas because a GradientStop interpolates linearly between the
two colours it is given.
