Library screens:
- Add dedicated music, TV, and movie landing pages (hero banner +
horizontal carousels) backed by new music/tv/movies stores.
- Route tvshows libraries to /library/tv; surface rediscover ("haven't
listened to in a while") albums via a new repository method across
online/offline/hybrid repos plus the repository_get_rediscover_albums
command.
- Add an A-Z jump bar for long alphabetically-sorted lists, with grid
index anchors in LibraryGrid/LibraryListView/TrackList.
- Filter the "Podcasts" folder out of music library queries.
Downloads:
- Add a backend queue pump: enqueue_download / enqueue_video_downloads
persist the resolved stream URL + target dir on each row (migration
017), and the pump starts up to max_concurrent and drains the rest
automatically as slots free, instead of the frontend silently dropping
items past the concurrency limit. Album/series/season buttons now
enqueue rather than calling start_download directly.
Other fixes:
- Hybrid search now returns instant cache results and pushes the merged
cache+server union via a request-id-tagged search-event, so superseded
queries can't clobber fresher results.
- URL-encode SearchTerm / genres / item types in online repo requests.
- Android: pause on audio-becoming-noisy (headphone/BT disconnect).
The offline/online switch was janky because two independent systems decided
"online" and never communicated:
- ConnectivityMonitor owned is_server_reachable (drove the UI banner) but
learned reachability only from a standalone /System/Info/Public ping loop
and from auth/login calls.
- HybridRepository served all real data by racing cache-vs-server but never
read or wrote reachability.
So the banner reflected a side-channel poller, not the system the user actually
experienced: a successful ping could read "online" while authenticated data
calls 401'd or timed out, and three different timeout regimes (5s ping / 30s
data / 100ms cache race) flapped against each other.
Unify into a single source of truth:
- Extract a cheap, cloneable ConnectivityReporter that owns all reachability
transitions and event emission.
- OnlineRepository reports the outcome of every server request to the reporter,
classified via RepoError: Ok/Authentication/NotFound/Server => reachable
(the server answered), Network => offline candidate, Database/Offline =>
ignored (not a server signal).
- Time-window debounce (OFFLINE_CONFIRM_WINDOW = 5s): flip offline only after
sustained network failure; recover instantly on the first success.
- Demote the ping loop to an offline-only recovery probe (no online polling;
real traffic is the signal when online).
- Frontend: navigator.onLine is now advisory (triggers a recheck instead of
forcing offline); removed the dead markReachable/markUnreachable store methods.
Docs updated (README, 07-connectivity, 03-data-flow, 02-svelte-frontend) to
describe the new model and fix pre-existing drift (HTTP client is 30s timeout +
5s ping, not the documented 10s/base_url).
Tests: 12 connectivity tests (debounce, instant recovery, RepoError
classification through report_outcome). Full suite: 398 Rust + 384 frontend
passing, svelte-check clean.

Remove unused imports and a dead test helper, and strengthen tests that
held unused bindings/fields so the values are actually exercised:
- drop unused imports (HttpConfig, MediaType, std::io::Write)
- remove unused TestEventEmitter::clear helper
- replace meaningless size_of asserts with real empty-manager checks
- assert on MockTrack.name in sorting tests
- Add #[specta::specta] to all 201 #[tauri::command] functions.
- Derive specta::Type on all IPC DTOs (repository/types, settings, player/storage/
download command DTOs, player enums, jellyfin SessionInfo/NowPlayingItem/PlayState,
ThumbnailCacheStats, DownloadInfo, CacheConfig, etc.).
- Replace tauri::generate_handler! with a tauri_specta::Builder + collect_commands!
in lib.rs (exports bindings.ts in debug builds).
Two contract changes required by specta constraints (frontend migration follows):
- specta caps command arity at 10 args: download_item_and_start / download_item /
download_video now take a single request struct (params bundled, body unchanged
via destructuring).
- specta can't parse split serde rename_all: SessionInfo/NowPlayingItem/PlayState
switched to rename_all = "PascalCase" (Jellyfin deserialization preserved; these
now serialize PascalCase to the frontend).
cargo check --lib is clean (0 errors). Frontend migration to bindings.ts is the next step.
Workstream A — poison-tolerant locking:
- Add utils/lock.rs with MutexSafe/RwLockSafe extension traits that recover a
poisoned std::sync lock instead of panicking, plus unit tests.
- Replace all 153 .lock().unwrap() and 4 .read()/.write().unwrap() production
sites with _safe variants across 14 files, eliminating the player
crash-cascade class. Tokio async mutexes are unchanged.
Workstream B — graceful backend init:
- create_player_backend no longer panics when MPV/ExoPlayer fail to initialize;
it falls back to NullBackend and emits a backend-init-failed event so the UI
can show "playback unavailable" instead of the app crashing. Fatal DB-setup
panics are kept.
Workstream F — doc reconciliation:
- Rewrite software-architecture.md's inaccurate "thin UI / ~800 lines" claims to
reflect reality (~20.5k non-test frontend) and document the events+polling
hybrid plus the new locking/backend-init behavior.
