KeelrLeek 388ad7d910 artist page: open an album in place, and show what the numbers are worth
The discography grid gains an expander: click a record and it opens between the
rows, with a rail carrying the art, the totals and the editions, and a track
list beside it. Three strands landed on this file across as many sessions and
they share the same DOM -- the row template the plays column widens is the one
the expander draws, and the keying that attribution needs is what makes the
cover crossfade possible -- so they arrive together.

**Keeping the grid still while a panel grows inside it.** An expander opening
mid-grid moves every row below it, and the naive version fights its own
animation: the reserve is measured against a layout that is still collapsing.
So each expander other than the one being kept is treated as mid-outro and
discounted from the measurement, the grid's `min-height` glides to the new
reserve rather than snapping, and a same-row switch keeps BOTH panels alive --
`panelLeave` takes the outgoing one out of flow so the two overlap instead of
stacking, and the stage eases between their heights so the box never collapses
to nothing on the way. `.xp-stage` exists to be the containing block for that.

**The loading state only exists if the load is slow.** A warm open resolves in
tens of milliseconds and used to flash a line of text on its way past, so
nothing renders until the load has outlasted a 250ms grace -- and when it does
render it is placeholder rows drawn in the track grid's exact geometry, so the
real list replaces them in place rather than reflowing.

**Cover tier follows DPR, not window size.** The rail art is a FIXED 209px --
the rail column is 250px regardless of monitor -- so a 4K display does not make
the box bigger; only device pixel ratio does. 209px needs 418 device pixels at
DPR 2, which the 500 rendition covers, and side by side at DPR 2 the 500 and
1000 sources are indistinguishable at actual size. At DPR 3 the 500 is visibly
soft. So 500 below that line and 1000 above it, rather than paying 3.6x the
bytes (148KB -> 501KB per cover) on every display to fix the top one. Coverart
Archive has no 1000 rendition; its next step is 1200.

**Popular rows are keyed on `origin_track_id ?? id`.** This is what lets the
backend hand a row its original album without destroying it: the corrected row
is REUSED rather than torn down and rebuilt, which keeps its save state and is
the whole reason the cover can crossfade instead of popping. `nowPlayingTrack`
matches either id, so a track that is playing stays marked as playing across the
correction. The crossfade itself needs the proxied art SYNCHRONOUSLY -- one
microtask is still a frame with the raw CDN url in `src`, which is a network
request for a file already held -- hence `peekCatalogArt`, which returns the
resolved data URL or null and never a promise.

The replay recipe goes to v4 for the same reason it went to v3: a v3 replay
carries Deezer's licensed attribution on every popular row -- Bohemian Rhapsody
on the 2018 movie soundtrack, wearing that poster -- and painting a known-wrong
album name instantly is worse than one ordinary load.

**Plays, as a heat block rather than a bare number.** Bar length and colour both
scale with the count, tinted with the OPEN album's accent so the column reads as
this record's own. The header and the rows share one grid template, so the
columns line up whether or not Last.fm knew the record -- and when it knew
nothing the whole column, header included, stays out of the layout entirely. An
unknown track is a dash, never a zero. Album totals sit between the meta line
and the Play row, badged when they were summed from the tracklist because the
provider's own figure could not cover its biggest track.

The listener count in the Popular list needed the row wider: break-even was
833px for the column plus its gap, up from 760px, and the rest is air, so title
and album each end up ~38px wider than before rather than narrower. That column
is muted and deliberately NOT accent -- the row already spends the accent on
`.now`, and a coloured column on every row drowns the one that means "playing".
