**Deferred external rows.** The album page awaited the Last.fm row before publishing anything, so the tracklist waited on an external service plus MusicBrainz. It publishes in stages now — header and tracks first, then each Qobuz rail as it lands, then Last.fm — with every patch merged under a generation counter so a late reply for album A cannot paint onto album B. The artist page was already staged this way; its views were the part still showing bare "Loading…" text. **Skeletons as the standard.** One control, new variants rather than new components, mounted across the views. Its second job is the one the owner named: cleanup. A cover that never resolves settles the placeholder once and reveals the card's own empty state instead of shimmering forever — local albums with no embedded art produce no artwork entry at all, so a placeholder gated only on "not arrived yet" would never stop. **Local artwork streams.** Fifteen seconds to first cover on a 1274-album grid was one batch emitted after the whole window resolved. Each cover emits as it resolves now, visible band before prefetch margin. **Lyrics migrated.** Smooth sync instead of a 1 Hz tick, word-level karaoke where the document carries it, the surrounding-line dimming, the controls flyout and the translation layer the v10 backend already supported. Exactly one row subscribes to the 30 Hz output; the timer drops to 250ms when paused or hidden. **Navigation by mouse and touchpad.** Side buttons and a two-finger horizontal swipe, matching #653 — including the part that matters, which is that a swipe over a carousel scrolls the carousel. The layer is declared first in the shell so everything else gets first refusal. **Context menus.** Brought to the Slint inventory, Play later included, with right-click opening the same menu as the button everywhere. Entries whose seam does not exist are hidden rather than shipped inert. Two controls that rendered and no-opped are now honestly disabled: the My QBZ nav row, which routes to a view the shell has no case for, and three sidebar menu entries with no backing call. The sidebar caret was never a condition bug. The row is a positioner and the name cell's width ignored the count label, so a folder WITH content pushed the chevron past the clip — which is why it vanished exactly when it mattered. cc
