The first of the three twins. 250 lines deleted, 404 removed against 229 added.

A server album had a view of its own, and it was poorer by construction: no ratings, no motion cover, no selection, no context menu. Not because a server album cannot have those — because every feature landed on the local side and nothing updated the copy. That is the complaint the unified library was aimed at, and it was never a state but a slope.

AlbumDetailView now takes either identifier and renders both. The server album is mapped into the shape the view already speaks, so the header, the meta line and the track table each stay one implementation rather than two. What the server cannot answer is null — which is what those fields already mean locally before enrichment has run.

What a server album does not get, and why

Each absent for a stated reason rather than by omission:

  • Shuffle is a mode of the local queue; the remote one has none.
  • Both cover pickers write into the local library, and there is no local album row to write to.
  • The lightbox opens the original file, and there is no file.
  • The like column is absent rather than inert — an empty heart that does nothing says "not liked", which is a different claim from "cannot be liked here". Same reading the track list gives an unratable row.

The sentinel

The mapped row carries a negative number where a rowid would be, and every site that acts on one checks the source first: the current-track highlight, the selection, the like list, the context menu. Made obviously invalid rather than plausibly wrong — which is the lesson from #552, where casting text ids into a type that wanted numbers broke every comparison silently.

Checks

typecheck, lint, cargo fmt --check. No Rust touched. The seventeen locales lose a remote.album namespace that now has no reader.

Left of lot 1

RemoteArtistView (308 lines) and RemotePlaylistView (1 155), one PR each.

Summary by CodeRabbit

    • L’expérience des albums distants est désormais plus cohérente dans toutes les langues disponibles.

The first of the three twins. A server album had a view of its own, and
it was poorer by construction: no ratings, no motion cover, no selection,
no context menu. Not because a server album cannot have those — because
every feature landed on the local side and nothing updated the copy. That
was the whole complaint the unified library was aimed at, and it is not a
state but a slope.

AlbumDetailView now takes either identifier and renders both. The server
album is mapped into the shape the view already speaks, so the header,
the meta line and the track table each stay one implementation rather
than two. What the server cannot answer is null, which is what those
fields already mean locally before enrichment runs.

What a server album does not get, each for a reason rather than by
omission:

- Shuffle is a mode of the local queue; the remote one has none.
- Both cover pickers write into the local library, and there is no local
  album row to write to.
- The lightbox opens the original file, and there is no file.
- The like column is absent rather than inert, on the same reading the
  track list gives an unratable row: an empty heart that does nothing
  says "not liked", which is a different claim from "cannot be liked
  here".

The row carries a negative sentinel where a rowid would be, and every
site that acts on one checks the source first — the current-track
highlight, the selection, the like list, the context menu. Made obviously
invalid rather than plausibly wrong, which is the lesson from casting
text ids into a type that wanted numbers.

250 lines deleted, and the seventeen locales lose a `remote.album`
namespace that now has no reader.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Les albums distants utilisent maintenant AlbumDetailView, comme les albums locaux. La vue charge les données distantes, utilise la lecture distante, affiche les pochettes distantes et masque les actions réservées au catalogue local.

Changes

Unification des albums distants

Layer / File(s) Summary
Contrat des pistes et adaptation des albums
src/lib/tauri/detail.ts, src/components/views/AlbumDetailView.tsx
AlbumTrack et AlbumDetail exposent les métadonnées distantes. AlbumDetailView convertit les albums distants avec des identifiants sentinelles et conserve les identifiants d’artistes distants.
Chargement, lecture et affichage unifiés
src/components/views/AlbumDetailView.tsx, docs/architecture/invariants.md
La vue charge les albums locaux ou distants. Elle sélectionne la file de lecture adaptée, affiche RemoteArtwork et distingue les artistes, pistes et identifiants distants. Les actions locales incompatibles sont masquées ou ignorées. Les vues détaillées restent non virtualisées.
Routage et ressources associées
src/components/layout/AppLayout.tsx, src/components/views/RemoteAlbumView.tsx, docs/rfcs/RFC-005-remote-source-and-sync-v2.md, src/i18n/locales/*
Le routage "remote-album" utilise AlbumDetailView. RemoteAlbumView et les traductions remote.album sont supprimés. La RFC décrit les actions disponibles pour les albums distants.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a9a2f

The unified album view can still expose the previous album’s actions while another album is loading, which may start playback from the wrong album, and its track-row interaction has conflicting keyboard and screen-reader semantics. These bounded correctness and accessibility issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Two kept. The first is the one that mattered: the render guard tested
`albumId == null`, so every server album went straight to the empty state
— the fetch ran, the mapping ran, and nothing was ever shown. The feature
did not work. Neither typecheck nor lint can see that, and I never
exercised the path.

So rather than stopping at the reported line I walked every use of
`albumId` in the view, and two more were wrong in the same way: the two
cover pickers stayed mounted for a server album, each holding
`album.id` — which is the negative sentinel. Their buttons are hidden, so
they never open, but a component that never opens should not be sitting
on an invalid identifier meanwhile. They are mounted only for a local
album now. The enrichment effect and the selection bar were already
correctly local-only.

The header also derived the cover from the first track that had one,
which is wrong twice: an album with no tracks showed none, and an album
whose cover differs from its first track's showed the track's. The album
carries its own hash now.

Skipped, with reasons:

The `li` row's `role="button"` with a nested heart. Real, and
pre-existing: the local view has carried it since before this branch,
with a comment explaining the choice, and the library track table has the
identical shape. Restructuring a grid row into a container plus sibling
buttons changes the local view's interaction model and has nothing to do
with absorbing the twin — it belongs in one change across both tables,
not smuggled into this one.

Virtualizing the album's track list. An album is a dozen or two tracks by
nature, on both sides; the local view has never virtualized it and there
is nothing here that made the list longer.

Invalidez l’album précédent avant de charger le nouvel identifiant.

Quand la navigation passe d’un album local à un album distant, ou inversement, remote change immédiatement mais album conserve l’ancienne valeur jusqu’à la fin de l’appel. L’ancien contenu reste donc affiché avec la mauvaise branche de lecture.

Un clic pendant cette fenêtre peut envoyer des remote_id absents sous forme de "" à remotePlayTracks, ou transmettre les pistes distantes sentinelles à playTracks local. Effacez album et remoteArtistId pour la clé de navigation courante, puis rendez le squelette tant que cette clé n’est pas chargée.

…imate

`remote` is derived from the props and flips the instant navigation
happens; `album` still holds what was showing until the fetch lands. In
that window the two disagree, and the disagreement is not cosmetic.
Playing would take the remote branch over a local album's tracks and hand
the server a list of empty identifiers. The artist link would go to the
previous album's artist. The header would ask the cover cache for a hash
a local album does not have.

Same rule the audio pipeline popover needed, arrived at from the other
direction: a snapshot read for one identity counts as absent when the
identity changes, not as an approximation of the new one.

Stamped rather than cleared. Clearing on every run of the effect would
flash a skeleton after a cover change or a tag edit, which refetch
without changing which album is being looked at; the stamp only fails to
match when the identity actually moved.

Skipped the change asked for — virtualizing the album's track list — and
wrote down why, because this is the second time it has been raised and
the invariant did not answer it.

The facts, checked rather than recalled: `main`'s AlbumDetailView does
not virtualize, and neither did the RemoteAlbumView this branch deleted,
so absorbing the twin is not a regression for a server album either.
ArtistDetailView and GenreDetailView do not virtualize. PlaylistView
does — and it is the one whose list has no natural bound, because a
playlist holds whatever someone put in it.

So the codebase already draws the line at "unbounded", and the invariant
only said "everywhere" plus a note about TrackTable and six thousand
tracks. It now says which lists are meant and which are not, and that the
sidebar is the deliberate exception on the other side: pointing a
virtualizer at its nested overflow-y-auto would introduce, inside the one
component that legitimately has one, the pattern this invariant exists to
keep out of the page.
