**The empty album view.** Opening a local album from Library "All" landed on a
blank page. The mixed feed hands Qobuz and local albums to the SAME card, and
the card always called the catalog open — so a local id, which is a group key
or a filesystem path, went to /album/get and came back 404. It was in the
owner's log before this round as `get_album(/mnt/nas/…) returned 404`; what
changed is that clearing the stale document turned "shows the previous album"
into "shows nothing", which is how it surfaced. Routing now happens in
open_album itself, using the predicate the feed already uses to route
favourites, so every call site is covered at once instead of card by card.
**Header atmosphere.** Both detail pages get Slint's two-band gradient, tinted
from THIS page's artwork through the ported header_tint — not the now-playing
ambient triad, which is a different subject with a different algorithm.
**Artist page.** The catalog/library toggle existed but was broken: a
hand-rolled copy of the shared tab bar whose delegate walked the wrong parent
chain, so it threw on every evaluation and never took its active colours. It
now mounts the shared control. Added the JUMP TO label, the tab-strip search
with the client-side filter it drives, and the year under release-section
albums. The Network panel ran the full window height and never auto-opened; it
is bounded below the tab strip now and opens unless the content is constrained,
as Slint does. The action circles were the wrong size with the wrong glyph
colour and no overlay arm — which would have left them dark-on-dark once the
gradient landed.
**Quality in track rows.** The column rendered a bare tier; it carries the
badge now, in the one shared row component every surface mounts. playlist_qt
was the only producer not emitting the bit-depth line.
**Skeletons hand over instead of disappearing.** They cleared when the PATH
arrived, but the image still had to load and rasterize after that, so the
placeholder vanished and left an empty cell. They now wait for the image to be
ready.
**Local covers.** Most local covers ARE already the scanner's thumbnail, but
re-hashing their path produced a different filename, so each one was decoded,
resized to its own size and re-encoded into a duplicate before being shown.
That was most of the wait.
