The library overview and the home shortcut strip showed artwork of three
different shapes — square music covers, 16:9 library backdrops, 2:3 posters —
in grids that pick one box and crop everything to it. The home strip said so
in a comment: it forced `aspect="video"` on music libraries so the row would
line up, which lined it up by cutting the covers down.
Both surfaces are now justified mosaics: rows share one height and each tile is
as wide as its own artwork. `layoutMosaic` is a pure module — it packs tiles
until the height needed to fill the container drops to the target, justifies the
row by absorbing the rounding remainder into its widest tile, and deliberately
leaves the last row unstretched so one leftover tile does not inflate into a
banner. The component supplies only what the DOM knows: the measured container
width, and the artwork's *decoded* aspect ratio (via a new `onNaturalSize` on
CachedImage), committed in one debounced batch so the grid does not reshuffle
once per image as artwork lands.
Favourites gain a tile per category beside the library it belongs to, alongside
the existing cross-library entry. Which collection type maps to which category
is Jellyfin vocabulary, so it is derived in Rust — `SearchScope::for_collection_type`,
stamped onto every `Library` by a new constructor and carried over as an optional
`favoritesScope`. Deriving it in Svelte would have rebuilt the exact leak
`SearchScope::item_types` was extracted to close. A category shows one tile
however many libraries share it, and a library kind favourites do not carve up
(Live TV, channels, books) gets none.
Also corrects the requirements-count test, which the UR-074 commit left one
behind.

Batch of reported bugs and enhancements.
UI
- Pages no longer inherit the previous page's scroll position (DR-156, UR-072).
The shell keeps its scrollers alive across navigation by design, so the
element never remounts and its scrollTop survived the route change; SvelteKit
restores window scroll, which this app never uses. ScrollMemory records the
offset per route and per container: forward moves reset to the top, Back
restores where the route was left.
- Season header stacks on narrow screens, and the title span gets min-w-0 so it
actually truncates instead of overflowing under the action buttons.
- Favourites gets a labelled tile at the head of the library grid rather than
only an unlabelled heart icon in the header.
Playback
- Full-screen video on Android hides the system bars (DR-157, UR-066).
requestFullscreen() cannot touch the Activity window from inside a WebView, so
the control did nothing visible while the bars stayed painted over the video.
ImmersiveModeBridge hides them, restored on exit, Escape and teardown.
- Background-audio handoff stops leaking its relative timeline (DR-159).
background_audio_base was a display-only correction applied in two places
while progress reports to Jellyfin, the frontend and media3's own seeks all
worked in the relative timeline treating it as absolute — each crossing losing
exactly `base` seconds. The conversion now happens once, in the position tick,
and inbound seeks resolve through seek_absolute, which re-opens the stream at
the requested position because the handoff transcode cannot seek.
- Picture-in-picture works on the path that actually plays video (DR-160).
canEnterPip demanded a native ExoPlayer surface, but that path is behind a
flag defaulting to off, so PiP could never engage. It now accepts the WebView
<video> too, keeping the WebView visible and routing play/pause to the element.
- Native video is now the default so PiP has a real surface (DR-161). The
scrub-regression tests pinned the flag-off path implicitly; they now mock it
off explicitly. The native scrub/seek path is not covered by the suite and
needs device verification.
Watched state
- Watched toggle on the episode row, season header, series and movie hero, and
the Episode Focus View (DR-158, UR-073). Both backend halves already existed
with no caller. storage_set_watched covers a container's episodes so the
toggle is honest offline, and QueuedOp::MarkUnplayed gives the sync queue the
missing direction.
Release
- Fix the Android versionCode floor (set-version.sh). v0.5.2 shipped code 5002
under an earlier minor*1000 scheme, but the current minor*100 formula yields
1502 for that version and 1503 for 0.5.3 — so every 0.5.x release built from
it was an un-installable downgrade for anyone already on v0.5.2. Widened to
10000 + major*1000000 + minor*1000 + patch (0.5.3 -> 15003).
- Bump to 0.5.3.
MediaCard derives its artwork aspect ratio from the item, so a music
library rendered aspect-square (144px tall at w-36) next to video
libraries at aspect-video (81px), leaving the home row ragged.
Add an optional `aspect` prop that overrides the derived ratio, and pass
aspect="video" from the home Libraries strip. Unset, behaviour is
unchanged, so the /library overview grid and the media carousels keep
their per-type ratios. Artwork already uses object-cover, so square music
art crops rather than distorts.

Search's instant leg read only downloaded items, so with no downloads it
returned nothing and every keystroke fell through to a full Recursive=true
server query. It now reads the whole synced catalog through the same
availability CTE get_items uses, gated on the same include_catalog_browse
flag so search and browse cannot diverge. (UR-065, DR-108)
Also fixes three defects found while confirming that:
- items_fts grew by a full duplicate index every catalog pass. INSERT OR
REPLACE fires no AFTER DELETE trigger without recursive_triggers, so the
old index row was orphaned, and a TEXT PRIMARY KEY meant the replacement
took a fresh rowid and inserted a second entry. Now a real upsert, with
migration 021 rebuilding existing indexes. (DR-110)
- DELETE FROM items existed nowhere, so server-side deletions never
propagated. Adds a post-crawl mark-and-sweep, scoped to crawled types,
skipping downloaded items, and refusing to run after a partial crawl
because items.parent_id cascades. (DR-110)
- The index omitted MusicArtist, Playlist and People, which search groups
results by. Adds them plus people_fts (migration 022). (DR-111)
Re-indexing moves from a frontend startup call to a Rust background task
with a 6h TTL, so a long session no longer searches a stale catalog and a
restart no longer forces a crawl regardless of freshness. (DR-109, IR-030)
Downloads gain a lifetime tier. Eviction selected every completed row by
age with no download_source filter, so hitting the storage limit deleted
the oldest download -- typically one saved deliberately for offline -- to
make room for a precached track. It now reclaims only 'auto' rows, and
expired ones are reclaimed first, before live cache is evicted.
(DR-126, DR-127)
Downloaded video and audio-only handoffs now play from disk instead of
streaming; the video path had never consulted downloads at all. No
transcode is involved: MPV runs video=no and ExoPlayer has no surface for
an Audio item. (DR-123 in part, DR-128)
FTS queries are built as quoted phrases so apostrophes, hyphens and
slashes are data rather than operator syntax, and the item-type filter is
bound rather than interpolated.

Includes concurrently-developed favourites browsing and background-audio
stream-end handling; the two workstreams share offline.rs, lib.rs and
online.rs, so no subset of files builds independently.
The bottom nav rendered under the Android navigation bar, and full-screen
playback controls spilled into unusable screen edges. It looked device-specific
(Motorola bad, Fairphone fine) but every device was equally unpadded — only the
intrusion differed: a tall opaque 3-button bar swallows the nav, a thin
translucent gesture pill overlaps harmlessly.
None of the app's safe-area handling was ever active, for two independent
reasons:
1. app.html had no `viewport-fit=cover`, so every `env(safe-area-inset-*)`
resolved to 0px — the padding in app.css and BottomUi was a no-op.
2. Android WebView maps only the *display cutout* into `env()`; the status bar
and navigation bar are never reported. With enableEdgeToEdge() and
targetSdk 36 (enforced from 35, opt-out ignored from 36) the WebView always
spans them, so CSS could not learn about them by any route.
WindowInsetsBridge now reads `systemBars() | displayCutout()` and publishes
`--jt-inset-*` CSS custom properties, both pushed on every inset change
(rotation, nav-mode switch, PiP) and pullable via `AndroidInsets.get()` — the
pull is required because the first inset pass lands before the document exists
and a page load wipes the pushed inline style. app.css folds them with `env()`
via `max()` into `--safe-*`, the only thing components may pad from.
Exactly one element owns each edge: the shell takes top/left/right, BottomUi
takes bottom (inside its surface box, so the colour extends behind the gesture
bar), and shellReservesBottomInset hands bottom back to the shell on routes with
no bottom UI. The full-screen players inset their control layers only, leaving
video and artwork edge-to-edge.
The theme's `fitsSystemWindows=true` claimed the opposite of what actually
happened — overridden at runtime, ignored at this target SDK — and is removed.
Also converts six nested `h-screen`/`min-h-screen` boxes to `h-full`: the shell
is `h-screen` *and* inset-padded, so its content box is `100vh - safe-top` and
any nested 100vh box overflows by exactly the inset (the library column would
have clipped its own BottomUi). A test guards against reintroduction.
Home carousel cards route a tap to the item's detail / Episode Focus
View and a ~500ms long-press to a confirm-then-play flow. MediaCard gains
an onLongPress prop with pointer-based detection (cancelled on >10px move
so carousel scroll is unaffected, trailing click suppressed). Episode
taps route to /library/<seriesId>?episode=<id>; the bare-episode detail
page links back to its parent series/season.
TRACES: UR-058 | DR-087
Migrate catalog MediaItem consumers from stringly item.type ("Audio",
"MusicAlbum", …) to the neutral item.kind enum across all classification
logic: home, library detail, player routing, artist/person/related/genre
components, tv store.
Model refinements found during migration (each a real distinction the
flat item_type collapsed):
- MediaKind::LiveChannel — live TV (playable, non-seekable) vs
- MediaKind::ChannelItem — channel VOD leaf (playable, seekable) vs
- MediaKind::Channel — channel container (drill-in).
TvChannel->LiveChannel, non-folder ChannelFolderItem->ChannelItem.
RelatedItemsSection and GenreTags props migrated from Jellyfin type
strings to MediaKind; MediaKind re-exported from api/types.
Deferred by design: display {item.type} text, ResultsCounter labels,
Person.type (role), stream.type (phase 4), and all runTimeTicks/tick math
(coupled to playbackPositionTicks — phase 3). Old fields still dual-carried
so nothing breaks.
Rust 456 + 7 domain tests, frontend 644 tests, check clean.
- music landing: diverse per-genre album sliders (online counts /
offline wide-probe fallback) and home-screen library shortcuts
- add ArtistLinks component and shared navigation/genreDiversity utils
- player/playback-mode refinements across Rust and frontend
