KeelrLeek 122157e061 listener bars: a bar is never narrower than the number standing on it
Two faults in the tracklist's listener column, both visible on any record
with one runaway hit.

The bar was a LINEAR share of the album's biggest song, so a single
outlier took the whole column and pressed everything else into a sliver.
Weezer's Green Album is the case: Island In The Sun has 11.9x the
listeners of that record's quietest track, so nine of the ten bars lived
inside the bottom 8% of a 168px column and stopped being tellable apart.

And the fill was absolutely positioned with the number floating on top of
it, so a short bar left its own digits hanging off the end onto the row
background. Six of the ten rows on the Blue Album did this.

The share is now raised to a power below 1 (0.42). That is strictly
monotonic and still anchored to the PEAK, so the ordering survives and a
genuinely flat record still reads flat -- a min/max normalisation against
the album's own quietest track was rejected for exactly that reason, since
it would stretch Maladroit to look as varied as Green Album. Measured in
the running app, shortest bar of a 168px column:

  album                  top:bottom     before      after
  Weezer (Green Album)        11.9x        8%        38%
  Make Believe                 6.7x       15%        45%
  Weezer (Blue Album)          3.9x       26%        56%
  Weezer (White Album)         2.3x       43%        70%
  Maladroit                    2.2x       46%        72%

The flat records move least, which is the point: the curve spends its lift
on the albums that were squashed and barely touches the ones that were not.

For the second fault the number moves INSIDE the fill, and the fill gets
`min-width: max-content`. The floor is then per-row and measured by the
browser in the real font -- nothing in JS could do that honestly -- and the
width handed over is only ever a lower bound. Across the four albums above,
numbers hanging off their bar went from 6 to 0 and every bar stayed
monotonic in its count. Green Album lands at 38% rather than the 35% the
curve alone gives, because the text floor takes over on its shortest row.

A track Last.fm has no count for keeps its dash and now gets no paint at
all; a floor-width pill behind an em dash would read as a measured tiny
value rather than an absent one.

The scale moves to src/lib/listenerBars.js because the album page and the
artist page's open-in-place album panel draw this identical column, and a
second copy would quietly disagree with the first about how big a record's
hit was -- the same reason editions.js was lifted out of the artist page.
Both call sites verified over CDP; 85 JS tests pass.

KeelrLeek 7a517dca59 navigation: one glass bar for every page, with a history and a path in it
The glass bar was copied into two views and each carried its own contextual
back link — "Results" on the artist page, the artist's name on the album page.
It is a shared component now (src/components/GlassBar.svelte), and it carries
the app's navigation: back/forward arrows, and the trail to where you are.

**History and the trail are different things, and the file keeps them apart.**
History is a SEQUENCE — every place visited, in order — and it drives the
arrows. The trail is a HIERARCHY, derived from the current place, never from
history. That is why switching between two editions of a record adds a history
step but does not add a crumb: a breadcrumb built out of history would read
`Search › Weezer › Blue Album › Deluxe Edition`, which says the deluxe sits
inside the original. It does not.

Crumbs improve in place. An artist page opens on an id and learns its name and
portrait a moment later, so the crumb starts as a placeholder and is refreshed
through ONE call site (`rememberArtistSeed`), guarded so remembering a seed for
a row in some list can never rewrite where you are. Search results are the
journey's root rather than a bare "Search" — the crumb reads “weezer”, which
is the thing you actually want to get back to.

Arriving crumbs slide in from the right; only genuinely new ones animate, so an
ancestor that was already there does not re-run its entrance when the tail
changes. Chosen from four motions mocked against a real navigation stack.

Every navigation now goes through a recorder. A bare `ui.view = "…"` is a
destination the back arrow can never return to, so the sidebar routes through
`goToView` and the catalog openers record on arrival.

**Scroll position is remembered.** Going back returns you to the paragraph you
left; arriving somewhere new starts at its top. The difference is exactly
whether the move came from the arrows/trail or from a fresh click. Two details
that mattered: the offset is captured at the START of a navigation, because the
scroll pane outlives the view swap and by the time a page has been replaced its
scrollTop already belongs to its successor; and restoring is not one assignment
— the artist page paints a skeleton, then an overview, then the full
discography, so a single `scrollTop = 900` clamps to whatever height exists in
that frame and lands near the top. It re-applies until the target is reachable
and gives up the instant the reader touches wheel, key or trackpad. The album
page never reset its scroll at all, so a record opened from half-way down an
artist page began half-way down; it does now.

**The artwork lightbox serves any cover.** It was hardwired to the playing
queue item; `ui.fullscreenArt` (a boolean) is now `ui.artwork` (a descriptor),
so Now Playing, the artist page's expander rail and the album hero all open the
same viewer with their own `{src, local, title, subtitle}`. Each passes the
UPGRADED cover rather than the sized variant it paints — the point of the
viewer is the master resolution.

Hovering artwork offers it: the whole element lifts under a light wash with the
expand mark centred. `transform`, not a width change — on the album page the
copy column is sized to end level with the artwork, so a reflowing hover would
twitch the entire hero. The three numbers (--art-grow 1.035, --art-motion
160ms, --art-wash) live in global.css rather than being typed into three files.
Now Playing's corner expand disc is gone: one gesture for "open this artwork"
everywhere instead of a disc in one place and a lift in the others.

On the artist page the expander's album NAME now opens that record's page.

Also removed: the album page's scroll-triggered title takeover. The breadcrumb
names the record permanently, which made it redundant — the build was already
flagging its CSS as dead.

**And the fix this session actually turned on.** Kyle reported the album
tracklist's counts as "heavily glitched": Pinkerton showed El Scorcho at 636
listeners beside Tired Of Sex at 606,324. Switching the column from plays to
listeners changed nothing, because both were wrong for the same reason.

`artist.gettoptracks` returns a popular song many times over — once as itself,
then again for every "(Album Version)", live cut and remaster — listeners
descending. The fold meant to keep the first entry, and its comment said so,
but it was written `if by_key.insert(k, v).is_some() { continue }`.
`HashMap::insert` returns the previous value AND STILL OVERWRITES, so the guard
correctly skipped the ranked push while letting every later duplicate win the
map the album tracklist reads. The last re-listing — the most obscure pressing
— is what reached the screen.

Measured against the live API for Weezer: Buddy Holly is rank 1 at 2,351,642
listeners and rank 679 as "(Album Version)" at 1,919; the page printed 1,919.
My Name Is Jonas 1,100,251 → 870. El Scorcho 654,071 → 636. Pink Triangle
810,659 → 6,070. Only songs Last.fm lists exactly once — "Tired of Sex",
"Across the Sea" — were ever right, which is why the column looked plausible in
places and absurd in others. Twenty-four entries for "The Good Life", twenty
for "El Scorcho".

The fold is now `fold_lastfm_duplicates`, pinned by two tests using those real
figures. It also repairs Popular's plays and the album totals, which read the
same map. The tracklist column shows listeners in both places it appears — the
album page and the artist page's expander — because leaving one on plays would
have let one record disagree with itself.

152 Rust tests and 85 JS tests pass.

KeelrLeek ea9a040d09 album page: the record gets a page of its own, under the same glass bar
The album page was a back link, a 150px cover and a list of titles — a
placeholder beside the artist page it is reached from. It is now built from the
same parts: the frosted glass header, a hero carrying the record's own art and
palette, the play-count bars, and the edition cards.

**The glass bar is the artist page's, not a copy of it.** Same 46px, same
rgba(20,20,24,0.28) over blur(12px) saturate(1.7), same sticky top:-24px with
the -24/-28/-22 bleed that spans the pane and leaves zero flow height. It is
meant to be the header every page navigates by, so it had to be the same
object rather than something that resembles it.

It gains one thing here: the record's cover, name and a play button fade into
the bar once the title itself has gone under it, so the bar always says where
you are. That watches the TITLE, not the identity block — watching the block
meant waiting for the artwork to clear too, about 240px of scroll on a page
that only has 199px of it, so it would never have fired on a ten-track album.

**The hero is one proportional block.** `--cover-scale` sizes the artwork
(282px) and everything beside it is `em` off that one root, so type, gaps, the
artist portrait, the pills and the stat divider all move by the same factor.
Two earlier attempts are worth naming because they both looked wrong:

  - damping the type (0.6 + 0.4·s) made the words visibly lag the artwork;
  - `space-between` filled the height but opened the gaps faster than the type
    grew, so the block came apart as it got bigger.

The gap is 1.8em, which is what the five rows need to fill the cover exactly,
and being an em it keeps that fit at any size. Measured live: the label's top
and the buttons' bottom both sit 0px from the artwork's edges. The hero's own
height derives from the artwork (`--cover + 68px`), so the 24px under the glass
bar holds at every scale instead of being a second number that drifts.

**Editions come from src/lib/editions.js — the artist page's own grouping.**
`releaseFamilies`, `editionBaseTitle`, `isEdition` and `editionLabel` moved out
of CatalogArtist.svelte (143 lines deleted there, not duplicated) so both pages
fold a record's pressings the same way. Two implementations would have drifted
invisibly: each page would show a plausible edition list and disagree about
which pressings are one album.

The album payload has no siblings, so the family is rebuilt from the artist's
discography. It reads the FULL page rather than the overview — the overview is
the artist page's first-paint subset and both dropped the anniversary edition
and carried no track counts, so the rows read "1994" where the discography
reads "1994 · 50 tracks". Cached per artist, and already warm whenever this
page was reached from theirs. Live, the Blue Album now lists Original 10 /
Deluxe 24 / Anniversary Super Deluxe 50, matching the discography exactly.

One deliberate narrowing: the artist page buckets releases by category before
grouping, and that categorisation leans on page state this view does not load
(harvested description hints, MusicBrainz type hints). So a sibling is accepted
only when the backend LINKED it (`edition_group`, a verified ordered core-track
match) or it declares the same record type. That can only ever show fewer
editions than the discography, never promote a separate live album or
compilation into this record's edition list.

**Switching edition is a swap, not a navigation.** `openCatalogAlbum` grew a
`keepCurrent` option that holds the page already on screen instead of clearing
to the loading state; the incoming cover is decoded before the swap so the
artwork crossfades rather than blinking out; and the parts are re-dealt on the
same clock as the expander — 400ms quintOut, 7px lift, banner → cover → kind →
title → meta → stats → actions → tracklist → description → editions → credits.
Polled at 16ms through a swap: 0 blank frames. The blurred banner fades without
lifting, because sliding a 42px blur reads as a wobble, and every part animates
to its OWN resting opacity — the banner rests at 0.62 and animating it to 1
would have run the colour wash half again too bright for the whole swap. A
failed load under `keepCurrent` clears anyway, so a dead edition surfaces the
error instead of looking like the click did nothing.

**The byline shows the artist, not the album cover again.** The album payload
carries the artist's NAME and nothing else, so `resolveArtistSeedByName` reads
and fills the same cache `openArtistByName` uses: the click that navigates
there has usually already paid for it, in-flight lookups are deduped so the
page and its own back button cannot fire the same search twice, and a transport
failure stays retryable rather than being cached as "no artist". A neutral dot
holds the space until it lands, so the line never reflows.

Shuffle and Preview join Play and Save. Shuffle is an action on this record,
not a toggle — it always turns shuffle on rather than flipping a global and
silently starting the album in order — and stays lit while it is on so that
state is visible from here. Preview opens the same modal the artist page does;
`buildAlbumManifest` already existed in the preview layer with no caller, which
is what this surface was for. It reports partial availability the same way, and
the manifest is a snapshot so an edition swap cannot rewrite an open session.

Also: plays bars, the whole-track/listener totals, the editorial description
and a released/label line, all off data `catalog_album` was already returning
and the page was throwing away. The plays column hides below three tracks — a
bar measured against itself is not a comparison, and on a single it read as a
rating. Track counts are pluralised, so a single says "1 track".

No add-to-playlist button. `add_to_playlist` requires a file path per track, so
a catalog album can only be added once it is in the library; that is a playlist
decision, not something to slip in behind an icon.

150 Rust tests and 85 JS tests pass.

KeelrLeek a667b4b28e Baseline: full tree snapshot after git repository loss
The previous .git directory was found gutted (only info/ remained), so
history is unrecoverable locally. This commit restores version control
with the tree exactly as it stands: the working app, the preview-tracks
launcher on the artist hero, the scrollable-track-previews design bundle
(docs + approved mockups), and the Phase 0 validation artifacts.
