Establish a decoupled player boundary so UI and backend interact with video
through one contract, with the HTML5 (Linux/interim-Android) and native
(ExoPlayer) providers as interchangeable primitive-executor adapters.
- PlayerAdapter interface + AdapterHost callback bag (adapters/types.ts): the
adapter owns only decision-free element PRIMITIVES (seekElement, reloadSource,
play/pause, setVolume, selectSubtitle); it never branches on strategy.
- Seek/audio-track DECISIONS stay in Rust (player_seek_video / _switch_audio_track
return a strategy); the facade dispatches the chosen primitive to the active
adapter. Both providers share the one decision path — logic lives once, in Rust.
- Facade holds the active adapter; a new ControlCommand PlayerStatusEvent lets
backend control (lockscreen/remote/sleep) drive the webview <video> element.
- Html5PlayerAdapter resolves the LIVE element via the bridge (fixes play/pause
silently no-opping when the element was re-bound).
- Do not emit a "stopped" player state on natural end-of-video: it flipped the
player/mode to idle mid-handoff and suppressed next-episode auto-advance under
a sleep timer. Jellyfin progress reporting is preserved; the backend's
on_video_playback_ended owns the transition.
- VideoPlayer net -300 lines (strategy/HLS-reload logic relocated to the adapter).
- Adds 20 adapter unit tests; existing suites stay green (vitest 457, cargo 416).

The lockscreen controls drifted out of sync, especially while casting, and
couldn't control remote playback. Two media sessions were competing (a Media3
MediaSession driving transport vs a MediaSessionCompat driving the notification),
position was only pushed on play/pause so the scrubber froze mid-track, and
remote mode showed stale local metadata with dead buttons.
- Make MediaSessionCompat the single source of truth; route all transport
commands (both the Compat callback and the Media3 wrappedPlayer) through Rust
via nativeOnMediaCommand instead of touching ExoPlayer directly.
- Push position on every 250ms tick via a lightweight updatePlaybackPosition,
and report 0.0 playback speed when paused so Android stops extrapolating.
- Mirror the remote session's now-playing onto the lockscreen from the native
session poller (works while the screen is locked, unlike WebView timers) via
a new player::update_lockscreen_metadata JNI bridge.
- Make MediaSessionHandler mode-aware: in remote mode forward play/pause/next/
prev/seek to the remote Jellyfin session; Stop while casting emits
RemoteDisconnectRequested, which the frontend handles by transferring to local.

- 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
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
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.
