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.
Opening a series dumped the viewer at the top of season 1, and its Play
button played nothing at all: it resolved `$libraryItems[0]` — the first
*season* by SortName — and navigated to `/player/<seasonId>`, which the
player route bounced straight back to `/library/<seasonId>`.
The backend could already answer "where is this viewer in this show":
`repository_get_next_up_episodes` has accepted a `series_id` since it was
written and no caller had ever passed one.
Backend (DR-101, DR-106)
- `repository/series_progress.rs`: `pick_current_episode` — in progress,
else Next Up, else first unwatched, else the premiere. The third rung is
the offline path, where Next Up is always empty. `sort_series_order` puts
specials (season 0) after the numbered seasons.
- `repository_get_series_episodes` takes over the season fan-out and the
flat-series fallback, which were domain knowledge living in the frontend.
- `clear_watch_history` maps to Jellyfin's mark-unplayed (recursive over a
container, also zeroes resume). Offline it refuses rather than diverging
state the next sync would undo.
Frontend (DR-102, DR-103, DR-104, DR-107)
- Seasons collapse; only the current one is expanded, and the current
episode is badged and scrolled into view.
- Hero button reads `Resume S2E4` / `Play S1E1` and opens that episode's
focus view, where Play commits (ux-flows §5B.5).
- Seasons are no longer a destination: `/library/<seasonId>` redirects to
`/library/<seriesId>#season-N`, and every inbound link follows.
- The "More Episodes" strip spans the whole series, so a season finale
offers the next premiere instead of dead-ending (§5B.2).
- Clear-history buttons on the series hero and each season header.
Routes (DR-105)
- `/library/tv` and `/library/movies` absorb their all-titles and genres
pages as `?view=` tabs; the four legacy routes redirect. 6 video routes
become 2, and `/library/shows/genres` stops being the odd one out.
Logic extracted to `seriesNavigation.ts`, `episodeStrip.ts` and
`libraryView.ts` so it is unit-tested rather than buried in components.
Spec: docs/specs/series-current-episode-navigation.md
Typing in the desktop header search bar ran library.search() in place and
relied on /library rendering the results inline. On every other /library/**
route nothing rendered them, so the search bar looked broken: results were
fetched and never shown.
Make /search the single surface that renders results. The header bar becomes a
navigator — it hands the query and route-derived scope to /search via ?q= and
?scope=, which seed the page and run the search on arrival. The inline result
block and the header's scope chips are removed; the chips live on /search,
which owns the results. The empty `all` scope is omitted from the URL, and
typing while already on /search does not push a history entry per keystroke.
The Episode Focus View's episode strip collapsed to just the current
episode on some series. Two causes:
- Series that expose episodes directly as children rather than under
season folders yielded an empty season fetch, leaving allEpisodes
empty. The library page now groups those flat episode children by
their season number and synthesizes minimal season headers.
- isCurrentEpisode over-matched: episodes with no season/episode number
compared equal (undefined === undefined) and every one of them looked
like the focused episode.
Extracts the strip's pure logic into episodeStrip.ts so both behaviours
are unit-tested, per the failing-test-first rule.

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.

library/movies/+page.svelte handleItemClick still read item.type === "Folder"
(missed in the phase-2a sweep). Now item.kind === "folder". Final sweep
confirms zero catalog .type/runTimeTicks/primaryImageTag/playbackPositionTicks
reads remain anywhere in src/.
Decision on dropping the dual-carry legacy Rust fields: KEPT. They are now
internal-only (no frontend reader), but internal Rust still depends on
item_type (SQL WHERE item_type='Audio', player audio filter, player-queue
passthrough) and the DB stores ticks. Removing them needs a DB/query-layer
migration with real regression risk and zero frontend benefit — out of scope
for the frontend-model goal, which is met.
Frontend 626, check clean.
Rust: PlayerMediaItem and MergedMediaItem gain image_id (dual-carry),
populated from primary_image_tag at every construction/conversion site.
Regenerated bindings.
Frontend: all catalog + player + merged readers now use imageId. The
NowPlayingItem->MediaItem bridge (player.ts) properly maps the remote
session's Jellyfin fields (Type, runTimeTicks, primaryImageTag) onto the
neutral kind/durationMs/imageId. Types that are genuinely out of scope
(Person, NowPlayingItem, PlayItemRequest) keep primaryImageTag.
Rust 456, frontend 644, check clean.
The library detail page showed the raw Jellyfin item_type string
("MusicAlbum") to users. Add utils/mediaKind.ts with kindLabel(), a
presentation-only MediaKind -> human label map, and use it for the badge.
Flip the two remaining .type debug logs to .kind.
This removes the last user-visible Jellyfin vocabulary on the catalog
surface. primaryImageTag -> imageId rename (naming-only, ~40 sites across
catalog + player/merged types needing a Rust round-trip) intentionally
deferred as the lowest-value slice.
Frontend 644 tests, check clean.
The catalog surface now speaks milliseconds, the app's neutral time unit.
Ticks no longer reach library/home components.
Rust:
- UserData gains playback_position_ms (dual-carry), populated from ticks
at the offline mapping seam via domain::ticks_to_ms.
Frontend:
- formatDuration(duration.ts) and the two local copies now take ms, not
ticks; all callers pass item.durationMs.
- Progress bars (EpisodeRow, EpisodeFocusView, MediaCard, LibraryListView)
compute playbackPositionMs / durationMs — unit-consistent, no tick math.
- PlaylistDetailView totalDuration sums durationMs.
- duration.test.ts + TrackList.test.ts fixtures updated to ms.
Deferred: player/session/reporting tick math (Queue, SessionCard,
RemoteControls, playbackReporting, playerEvents) — those cross the
storage/Jellyfin command boundary in ticks and need command-signature
changes (phase 3b). Display {item.type} badge -> kind label (phase 4).
Rust 456, frontend 644, check + check:boundary clean.
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.
Add a search scope (all/music/shows/movies) resolved from the entry
route and adjustable via filter chips, threaded through the library
store's search() into includeItemTypes. Results group by type in a
user-configurable order, editable from settings.

Navigation:
- Split conflated "back" into navigateUp (deterministic route parent) and a
history-safe navigateBack that tracks in-app depth via afterNavigate instead
of history.length. Fixes the resume-from-background trap where a stale WebView
stack left the header arrow stuck on the current page.
- /library self-corrects for music/tv/movies (which have dedicated landing
pages): a leftover currentLibrary no longer forces the inline content-list
view, so "up"/back shows the libraries overview. Live TV / channels / other
types still render inline.
Startup (unblock first paint):
- auth.initialize() no longer awaits security-status, player-config, or session
verification before flipping isInitialized. These run fire-and-forget after the
session is restored, so the library overview paints without waiting on several
serial IPC round-trips.
Versioning / CI:
- tauri.conf.json + package.json aligned to 0.0.15 (the tag series had drifted to
0.1.0, whose formula-derived versionCode 1000 outran the v0.0.x tags).
- Release workflow now pins a monotonic Android versionCode
(1000 + major*10000 + minor*100 + patch) so tagged builds never downgrade
below prior installs and always increase in semver order.
Tests: navigation (4), auth (29), playbackMode (23) green.

- 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
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).
Replace the remaining ~155 untyped invoke() calls across stores, services,
components, and routes with the generated commands.* wrappers from
$lib/api/bindings, so every IPC call is compile-time-checked against the
command signatures.
- Register repository_get_subtitle_url and repository_get_video_download_url
in specta_builder() and the invoke_handler; regenerate bindings.ts.
- Source duplicated wire types (AutoplaySettings, CacheConfig, Session,
ConnectivityStatus, audio/video settings, etc.) from bindings.
- Fix two bugs surfaced by the typed wrappers:
- VideoDownloadButton passed an un-awaited Promise as the stream URL.
- setAutoplaySettings omitted the required userId argument.
- Update unit tests asserting the old invoke(name, args) shape.
- Remove the five param-naming guard tests; the compiler and codegen now
enforce what they checked.
svelte-check: 0 errors. vitest: green. cargo test --lib: green.
- Convert music category buttons from <button> to native <a> links for better Android compatibility
- Convert artist/album nested buttons in TrackList to <a> links to fix HTML validation issues
- Add event handlers with proper stopPropagation to maintain click behavior
- Increase library overview card sizes from medium to large (50% bigger)
- Increase thumbnail sizes in list view from 10x10 to 16x16
- Add console logging for debugging click events on mobile
- Remove preventDefault() handlers that were blocking Android touch events
These changes resolve navigation issues on Android devices where buttons weren't responding to taps. Native <a> links provide better cross-platform compatibility and allow SvelteKit to handle navigation more reliably.
