chore(release): 0.9.0

release:notes is not usable for this batch: it maps changed files to their
TRACES, and the logging sweep touched 63 files spanning most of the codebase, so
it reports nearly every user requirement as changed — including ones explicitly
not implemented. Written by hand instead.

Also updates the checklist's artifact names for the rename and adds the rpm,
which the checklist never listed because it was never published.

+## v0.9.0
+
+An audit release. One new setting you asked for, two naming bugs that only ever
+showed in builds a developer never looks at, and a large amount of tidying that
+should be invisible in use.
+
+Note for anyone upgrading a Linux package: the Debian/RPM package is now called
+`jelly-tau` rather than `jellytau` (the packager derives it from the app name).
+It declares the rename, so `apt`/`dnf` will replace the old package rather than
+install a second copy. The command is still `jellytau`.
+
+### ✨ Changes
+
+- **You can now hide library folders from music browsing.** Pick the folders to
+  exclude in Settings; they disappear from albums, artists, genres, search and
+  the home rows alike. This replaces a filter that dropped anything *named*
+  "Podcasts" — one person's library layout compiled into the app, which meant an
+  album genuinely called "Podcasts" vanished while a podcast folder named
+  anything else stayed. Exclusion now matches on the folder itself, is decided
+  in one place rather than at the six screens someone remembered to filter, and
+  defaults to excluding nothing. (UR-076 → DR-209)
+
+- **The app is called JellyTau again.** The Android release build showed
+  `jellytau` under its icon, and the Linux and Windows packages carried the same
+  lowercase name. The debug build has always overridden the label to "JellyTau
+  Debug", so the install a developer looks at every day was the only correctly
+  cased one and nobody saw it. (DR-214)
+
+- **The RPM package is published.** It has been built by every release since
+  Linux packaging was added, and never copied out of the build — so it existed,
+  cost build time, and reached nobody. (DR-214)
+
+- **Linux and Windows packages carry their own metadata.** Publisher, copyright,
+  category, description and licence were all absent, so the packages installed
+  with no maintainer and no description. The hand-written Arch package had all
+  of it; only the generated packaging was missing it. (DR-214)
+
+### 🔒 Hardening
+
+None of these were reachable in normal use — the app refuses plain-`http`
+servers, Android blocks cleartext, and the webview runs under a CSP that bars
+inline script — so they are consistency fixes rather than incidents. Each one
+had the correct pattern already in the same file, a few lines away.
+
+- **Thumbnail cache writes stay inside the cache directory.** The filename was
+  built from three values but only one was sanitised, and joining a path does not
+  fold `..` or keep the base when handed an absolute path. (DR-210)
+
+- **Download paths stay inside the download directory.** A correct sanitiser
+  already existed, but the command that queues a download accepted a raw path,
+  so the guard could be routed around rather than being absent. (DR-211)
+
+- **Query and URL values are bound and encoded, not pasted in.** The offline
+  item-type filter built SQL by string formatting while its sibling query used
+  placeholders, and browse URLs left values unencoded while the genre parameter
+  next to them was encoded properly. Volume is also range-checked at the command
+  boundary instead of relying on each player backend. (DR-212)
+
+### 🛠 Development
+
+Nothing here changes the app, but the previous release's audit found the tooling
+claiming more than it delivered, and this is the repair.
+
+- **The frontend has a real logger.** 484 `console` calls shipped to users and
+  ran on every device; the Rust half has had levelled logging with a runtime
+  override since the beginning. There is now a matching facade — quiet in
+  release builds, verbose in debug ones, with warnings and errors never
+  suppressed and `localStorage` able to turn the volume up in a shipped build to
+  diagnose a problem. (DR-204)
+
+- **The traceability matrix is navigable.** Every one of its ~2,800 file links
+  was broken: the generator wrote repo-root paths into a file that lives in
+  `docs/`. The document the whole traceability system exists to produce could not
+  be clicked through, and had no test. Both are fixed, and a link checker now
+  fails the build on a dead documentation link. (DR-093, DR-208)
+
+- **The Rust toolchain is pinned.** Developer machines and CI were five releases
+  apart, which meant a clean `cargo clippy` locally proved nothing about CI — the
+  same tree measured zero warnings on one and three on the other. With both sides
+  on the same compiler, clippy is now a hard gate instead of advisory. (DR-206)
+
+- **The frontend has a linter and formatter**, its first — the Rust half has had
+  `cargo fmt --check` and clippy in CI for a while. A pre-commit hook runs the
+  fast checks, so the "before committing" list is enforced rather than
+  remembered. (DR-205, DR-207)
+
+- **Containerised builds no longer leave root-owned files** in the working tree,
+  which had accumulated to the point of breaking `cargo clean` and, eventually,
+  `cargo build` itself. (DR-213)
+
+- Removed: a webdriverio end-to-end suite that had not run in seven months and
+  was wired into nothing, and a frontend validation module whose six exported
+  functions had no caller outside their own tests — which made it read as
+  covered input validation while guarding nothing.
+
 ## v0.8.2
 
 A single fix, for Android background audio.

 | DR-207 | A pre-commit hook runs the "Before Committing" gates — frontend checks and tests, `cargo fmt`, clippy, the boundary tripwire and the traceability checks — so the gates are enforced at the commit rather than discovered in CI. The gates already exist and are already documented; what is missing is that nothing runs them, which makes compliance a matter of memory. The hook is the mechanism that makes the documented list actually binding | Tooling | - | Proposed |
 | DR-208 | Documentation link integrity is checked mechanically (`scripts/check-doc-links.sh`): every relative markdown link in every tracked `.md` must resolve to a file that exists on disk. This is a real defect class, not hygiene — the generated traceability matrix shipped ~2,800 dead file links because it was written to `docs/` while its hrefs were repo-root-relative, and nothing noticed for months because no check existed and nobody clicks 2,800 links. The check validates *paths*, deliberately not anchors or external URLs: anchor resolution needs a markdown renderer's slug rules and network checks make the gate flaky, so both are out of scope and stated as such in the script | Tooling | - | Done |
 | DR-209 | Library folders are excluded from music browsing **server-side, by folder id**, replacing a hardcoded frontend filter that dropped anything whose name contained "Podcasts". The name filter was wrong in three separate ways: it encoded a domain classification in the presentation layer, it matched on a title rather than on what an item *is* (so an album legitimately called "Podcasts" vanished while a podcast folder named anything else did not), and it applied only where someone had remembered to call it, so the same library was in scope on one screen and out of scope on the next. Excluded folder ids are stored as user configuration and applied by the repository layer to every music query — libraries, artists, albums, genres, search and the home rows — so scope is decided in one place and is the same everywhere | Repository | UR-076 | Proposed |
+| DR-210 | Thumbnail cache writes are confined to the cache directory. The filename was built from `item_id`, `image_type` and `tag`, but only `tag` was sanitised — and `Path::join` neither folds `..` nor keeps the base when handed an absolute path, so a value arriving verbatim from server JSON decided where a file landed. The tag's existing rule (non-alphanumerics become `_`) now applies to all three parts, and the resolved path is checked with `starts_with(cache_dir)` at the point of use. The database keeps the raw key and the resolved path, so lookups still match and pre-existing rows still resolve. Not exploitable as shipped — server URLs must be HTTPS and Android blocks cleartext, so the id comes from a server the user chose to trust — the value is making the write path consistent with how caller-supplied paths are handled elsewhere | Storage | UR-012 | Done |
+| DR-211 | Download paths are confined to the download root. `file_path` and `target_dir` reached `PathBuf::join` unchecked from the frontend, and `mark_download_completed` persisted a caller-supplied path later passed to `remove_file`. A correct sanitiser already existed and `download_item_and_start` used it, but `download_item` is itself a command accepting `file_path` raw, so the guard was bypassable rather than absent — the fix moves it inside instead of adding a second one. Sanitising is **per path component**: whole-string sanitising would rewrite `downloads/x.mp3` to `downloads_x.mp3` and relocate every existing download. Confinement happens after the join, since a join with an absolute second half discards the root | Downloads | UR-011 | Done |
+| DR-212 | Query and URL construction bind or encode their inputs. Three sites interpolated caller-supplied values directly: the offline `get_items` item-type filter built `IN ('a','b')` by string formatting, `build_get_items_endpoint` wrote `ParentId`/`IncludeItemTypes`/`SortBy`/`SortOrder` into a URL unencoded, and `player_set_volume` accepted NaN and out-of-range floats. Each is a *consistency* defect rather than a novel one — the same file already did it correctly a few lines away (parameter placeholders in `search`, `urlencoding::encode` for genres, `clamp` in every player backend).

+| DR-213 | Containerised builds hand their artifacts back to the host user. The compose services bind-mount the repo and run as root — their caches live at `/root/.cargo` and `/root/.bun`, so a non-root container user cannot write them — which leaves root-owned files accumulating in the developer's working tree: 11,124 of them when this was found, enough that `cargo clean` and `scripts/clean.sh` failed with EACCES and a plain `cargo build` died part-way, since build scripts compile for the host and land in `target/debug` even during a cross-build. Ownership is restored at the end of each containerised build, reading the intended owner from the checkout so no uid needs plumbing through. Running the containers as the host uid is the tidier fix and remains open; it needs the cache volumes relocated off `/root` first | Tooling | - | Done |
+| DR-214 | The app identifies itself correctly everywhere a user or a package manager reads its name. `productName` was the scaffold's lowercase `jellytau`, which is what the Android release build showed under its icon and what the deb/rpm/NSIS bundles carried as their display name — invisible in development because `build.gradle.kts` overrides the label to "JellyTau Debug" for the debug build type, so the install a developer looks at daily was the only correctly-cased one. `mainBinaryName` pins the executable filename so nothing that resolves a path by name has to change. `strings.xml` moves into the canonical android tree, where `sync-android-sources.sh` already copies `res/values/*.xml`, so the fix survives regenerating `gen/`. Bundle metadata (publisher, copyright, category, descriptions, licence) was entirely absent, which is why the packages shipped with no maintainer or description — the hand-written Arch PKGBUILD and `.desktop` had all of it, so only the *generated* packaging was wrong | Packaging | - | Done |
 | DR-198 | The webview runs under a real Content-Security-Policy, and the asset protocol is scoped to the one directory it still serves. `csp` was `null`, which disables CSP entirely: any script that reached the web layer — through a future `{@html}`, a dependency, or a devtools paste — would have inherited the whole IPC surface, and with it the user's session. `script-src 'self'` (Tauri injects a nonce for SvelteKit's inline bootstrap script at build time, so no `'unsafe-inline'` is needed) plus `object-src`/`frame-src 'none'` and `base-uri 'self'` is the part that is genuinely restrictive. `img-src`/`media-src`/`connect-src` cannot be: the Jellyfin origin is typed in by the user at run time and is commonly plain `http` on a LAN, so they allow `http:`/`https:` — a wide grant for *data*, but one that still bars `file:`, `filesystem:` and scripting schemes, and leaves `script-src` untouched. `style-src` keeps `'unsafe-inline'` because Svelte compiles `style="…"` attributes (including `app.html`'s `display: contents` wrapper) into markup; this is safe only while no `<style>` element survives into `index.html`, since a nonce there would make Tauri's injection outrank — and therefore void — `'unsafe-inline'`. `worker-src blob:` and `media-src blob:` are hls.js: it demuxes in a worker built from a blob and attaches MSE through `URL.createObjectURL`. `asset:` and `http://asset.localhost` are the same protocol under the two naming schemes `convertFileSrc` emits (custom scheme on Linux/macOS, `http` host on Windows/Android); `ipc:`/`http://ipc.localhost` is the invoke transport, which would otherwise be blocked by `connect-src`. A run-time CSP naming the server origin exactly was rejected: Tauri computes the header from immutable config when it serves the HTML, so it would mean rebuilding config and reloading the webview on every server change, for a policy the user can already point anywhere. The asset-protocol scope narrows from `$APPDATA/**` to `$APPDATA/thumbnails/**` — since DR-137 moved downloaded media to the loopback server, `imageCache` is the only `convertFileSrc` caller left, so the database and the encrypted-token fallback file no longer sit inside the grant | Security | UR-012, UR-071 | Done |

-# E2E Testing with WebdriverIO
-
-End-to-end tests for JellyTau using WebdriverIO and tauri-driver. These tests run against a real Tauri app instance with an **isolated test database**.
-
-## Quick Start
-
-```bash
-# 1. Configure test credentials (first time only)
-cp e2e/.env.example e2e/.env
-# Edit e2e/.env with your Jellyfin server details
-
-# 2. Build the frontend
-bun run build
-
-# 3. Run E2E tests
-bun run test:e2e
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-### Test Credentials
-
-E2E tests use credentials from `e2e/.env` (gitignored). Copy the example file to get started:
-
-```bash
-cp e2e/.env.example e2e/.env
-```
-
-**e2e/.env** (your private file):
-```bash
-# Your Jellyfin test server
-TEST_SERVER_URL=https://your-jellyfin.example.com
-TEST_SERVER_NAME=My Test Server
-
-# Test user credentials
-TEST_USERNAME=testuser
-TEST_PASSWORD=yourpassword
-
-# Optional: Specific test data IDs
-TEST_MUSIC_LIBRARY_ID=abc123
-TEST_ALBUM_ID=xyz789
-# ... etc
-```
-
-**Important:**
-- ✅ `.env` is gitignored - your credentials stay private
-- ✅ Tests fall back to Jellyfin demo server if `.env` doesn't exist
-- ✅ Share `.env.example` with your team so they can set up their own
-
-### Isolated Test Database
-
-**Your production data is safe!** E2E tests use a completely separate database:
-
-- **Production:** `~/.local/share/com.dtourolle.jellytau/` - Your real data ✅
-- **E2E Tests:** `/tmp/jellytau-test-data/` - Isolated test data ✅
-
-This is configured via the `JELLYTAU_DATA_DIR` environment variable in `wdio.conf.ts`.
-

-```
-
-### Page Object Model
-
-Tests use the Page Object Model pattern for maintainability:
-
-```typescript
-// Good: Using page objects
-import LoginPage from "../pageobjects/LoginPage";
-
-await LoginPage.waitForLoginPage();
-await LoginPage.connectToServer(testConfig.serverUrl);
-await LoginPage.login(testConfig.username, testConfig.password);
-
-// Bad: Direct selectors in tests
-await $("#server-url").setValue("https://...");
-await $("button").click();
-```
-
-## Writing Tests
-
-### Using Test Configuration
-
-Always use `testConfig` for credentials and server details:
-
-```typescript
-import { testConfig } from "../helpers/testConfig";
-
-describe("My Feature", () => {
-  it("should test something", async () => {
-    // Use testConfig instead of hardcoded values
-    await LoginPage.connectToServer(testConfig.serverUrl);
-    await LoginPage.login(testConfig.username, testConfig.password);
-
-    // Access optional test data
-    if (testConfig.albumId) {
-      // Test with specific album
-    }
-  });
-});
-```
-
-### Test Data IDs
-
-For tests that need specific content (albums, tracks, etc.):
-
-1. Find the ID in your Jellyfin server (check the URL when viewing an item)
-2. Add it to your `e2e/.env`:
-   ```bash
-   TEST_ALBUM_ID=abc123def456
-   ```
-3. Use it in tests:
-   ```typescript
-   if (testConfig.albumId) {
-     await browser.url(`/album/${testConfig.albumId}`);
-   }
-   ```
-
-### Example Test
-
-```typescript
-import { expect } from "@wdio/globals";
-import LoginPage from "../pageobjects/LoginPage";
-import { testConfig } from "../helpers/testConfig";
-
-describe("Album Playback", () => {
-  beforeEach(async () => {
-    // Login before each test
-    await LoginPage.waitForLoginPage();
-    await LoginPage.fullLoginFlow(
-      testConfig.serverUrl,
-      testConfig.username,
-      testConfig.password
-    );
-  });
-
-  it("should play an album", async () => {
-    // Skip if no test album configured
-    if (!testConfig.albumId) {
-      console.log("Skipping - no TEST_ALBUM_ID configured");
-      return;
-    }
-
-    // Navigate to album
-    await browser.url(`/album/${testConfig.albumId}`);
-
-    // Click play
-    const playButton = await $('[aria-label="Play"]');
-    await playButton.click();
-
-    // Verify playback started
-    const miniPlayer = await $(".mini-player");
-    expect(await miniPlayer.isDisplayed()).toBe(true);
-  });
-});
-```
-
-## Running Tests
-
-### Commands
-
-```bash
-# Run all E2E tests
-bun run test:e2e
-
-# Run in watch mode (development)
-bun run test:e2e:dev
-
-# Run specific test file
-bun run test:e2e -- e2e/specs/auth.e2e.ts
-```
-
-### Before Running
-
-**Always build the frontend first:**
-
-```bash
-bun run build
-cd src-tauri && cargo build
-```
-
-The debug binary expects built frontend files in the `build/` directory.
-
-## Test Files
-
-### app-launch.e2e.ts
-Basic app initialization tests:
-- App launches successfully
-- UI renders correctly
-- Unauthenticated users redirect to login
-
-**Status:** ✅ Working (no credentials needed)
-
-### auth.e2e.ts
-Full authentication flow:
-- Server connection (2-step process)
-- Login form validation
-- Error handling
-- Complete auth flow
-
-**Status:** ✅ Working with any Jellyfin server
-
-### navigation.e2e.ts
-Routing and navigation:
-- Protected routes
-- Redirects
-- Navigation after login
-
-**Status:** ⚠️ Needs valid credentials (configure `.env`)
-
-## Configuration Reference
-
-### wdio.conf.ts
-
-Main WebdriverIO configuration:
-
-```typescript
-{
-  port: 4444,                    // tauri-driver port
-  maxInstances: 1,               // Run tests sequentially
-  logLevel: "warn",              // Reduce noise
-  framework: "mocha",
-  timeout: 60000,                // 60s test timeout
-
-  capabilities: [{
-    "tauri:options": {
-      application: "path/to/app",
-      env: {
-        JELLYTAU_DATA_DIR: "/tmp/jellytau-test-data"  // Isolated DB
-      }
-    }
-  }]
-}
-```
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-| Variable | Description | Default |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `TEST_SERVER_URL` | Jellyfin server URL | `https://demo.jellyfin.org/stable` |
-| `TEST_SERVER_NAME` | Server display name | `Demo Server` |
-| `TEST_USERNAME` | Test user username | `demo` |
-| `TEST_PASSWORD` | Test user password | `` (empty) |
-| `TEST_MUSIC_LIBRARY_ID` | Music library ID | undefined |
-| `TEST_ALBUM_ID` | Album ID for playback tests | undefined |
-| `TEST_TRACK_ID` | Track ID for tests | undefined |
-| `TEST_TIMEOUT` | Mocha test timeout (ms) | `60000` |
-| `TEST_WAIT_TIMEOUT` | Element wait timeout (ms) | `15000` |
-
-## Debugging
-
-### View Application During Tests
-
-Tests run with a visible window. To pause and inspect:
-
-```typescript
-it("debug test", async () => {
-  await LoginPage.waitForLoginPage();
-
-  // Pause for 10 seconds to inspect
-  await browser.pause(10000);
-
-  await LoginPage.enterServerUrl(testConfig.serverUrl);
-});
-```
-
-### Check Logs
-
-- **WebdriverIO logs:** Console output (set `logLevel: "info"` in config)
-- **tauri-driver logs:** Stdout/stderr from driver process
-- **App logs:** Check app console (if running with dev tools)
-
-### Common Issues
-
-**"Connection refused" in browser body**
-- Frontend not built: Run `bun run build`
-- Solution: Always build before testing
-
-**"Element not found" errors**
-- Selector might be wrong
-- Element not loaded yet - add wait: `await element.waitForDisplayed()`
-
-**"Invalid session id"**
-- Normal when app closes between tests
-- Each test file gets a fresh app instance
-
-**Tests fail with "no .env file"**
-- Copy `e2e/.env.example` to `e2e/.env`
-- Configure your Jellyfin server details
-
-**Database still using production data**
-- Check `wdio.conf.ts` has `JELLYTAU_DATA_DIR` env var
-- Rebuild app: `cd src-tauri && cargo build`
-
-## Platform Support
-
-### Supported
-
-- ✅ **Linux** - Primary development platform
-- ✅ **Windows** - Supported (paths auto-detected)
-- ✅ **macOS** - Supported (paths auto-detected)
-
-### Not Supported
-
-- ❌ **Android** - E2E testing requires Appium + emulators (out of scope)
-- Desktop tests cover 90% of app logic anyway
-
-## Team Collaboration
-
-### Sharing Test Configuration
-
-**DO:**
-- ✅ Commit `e2e/.env.example` with template values
-- ✅ Update README when adding new test data requirements
-- ✅ Use descriptive variable names in `.env.example`
-
-**DON'T:**
-- ❌ Commit `e2e/.env` with real credentials
-- ❌ Hardcode server URLs in test files
-- ❌ Skip authentication in tests (always test full flows)
-
-### Setting Up for a New Team Member
-
-1. **Clone repo**
-2. **Copy env template:** `cp e2e/.env.example e2e/.env`
-3. **Configure credentials:** Edit `e2e/.env` with your Jellyfin server
-4. **Build frontend:** `bun run build`
-5. **Run tests:** `bun run test:e2e`
-
-That's it! No shared credentials needed.
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use testConfig:** Never hardcode credentials
-2. **Use Page Objects:** Keep selectors out of test specs
-3. **Wait for Elements:** Always use `.waitForDisplayed()`
-4. **Independent Tests:** Each test should work standalone
-5. **Skip Gracefully:** Check for optional test data before using
-6. **Build First:** Always `bun run build` before running tests
-7. **Clear Names:** Use descriptive `describe` and `it` blocks
-
-## Future Enhancements
-
-- [ ] Add more page objects (Player, Library, Queue, Settings)
-- [ ] Create test data fixtures
-- [ ] Add visual regression testing
-- [ ] Mock Jellyfin API for faster, more reliable tests
-- [ ] CI/CD integration (GitHub Actions)
-- [ ] Test report generation
-- [ ] Screenshot capture on failure
-- [ ] Video recording of test runs

+long-running form automatically when it sees `--watch`, `-w`, or `--ui`.

+## Linting & Formatting
+
+There is no script wrapper for these — they are plain package.json entries:
+
+```bash
+bun run lint          # eslint .
+bun run lint:fix      # eslint . --fix
+bun run format        # prettier --write .
+bun run format:check  # prettier --check .
+```
+
+Config lives in `eslint.config.js` (flat config: typescript-eslint +
+eslint-plugin-svelte, tuned for Svelte 5 and TS `strict`), `.prettierrc`, and
+`.prettierignore`. `src/lib/api/bindings.ts` is excluded from both — it is
+generated by tauri-specta on every Rust build.
+
+`bun run lint` is currently **error-clean but not warning-clean**: several rules
+are deliberately set to `warn` because the existing tree has more hits than a
+tooling change should touch (unused bindings, `any` at the IPC boundary, unkeyed
+`{#each}`). Each one is annotated in `eslint.config.js` with why, and the
+intended end state is `error`. Drive them down; do not delete them.
+
+`no-console` is switched **off** for now — see the note in `eslint.config.js`.
+
+## Git Hooks
+
+### `install-hooks.sh`
+Point git at the repo's tracked hooks directory (`core.hooksPath`).
+```bash
+bun run hooks:install      # or: ./scripts/install-hooks.sh
+```
+
+### `hooks/pre-commit`
+Runs the fast half of CLAUDE.md's "Before Committing" list so it is enforced
+rather than remembered:
+
+- `bun run check` (svelte-check)
+- `bun run test` (vitest, single pass)
+- `scripts/check-frontend-boundary.sh`
+- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`, **only when staged files touch `src-tauri/`**
+
+`cargo clippy` and `cargo test` are deliberately *not* in the hook — minutes per
+commit is how you teach people to reach for `--no-verify`. They run in CI, and
+locally via `bun run test:all`.
+
+```bash
+git commit --no-verify     # skip the hook for one commit
+git config --unset core.hooksPath   # uninstall
+```
+
+The hook skips itself during a merge, rebase, or cherry-pick, and when nothing
+is staged.
