v1.1.0

1.1.0 - 2026-03-04

Added

• Favorite artist pool: Favoriting a track builds a persistent artist pool per genre variant. Liked artists have a 40% chance to reappear in future generated tracks, weighted by like count.
• Album ownership: Favoriting a track claims its album for that artist. Other artists' unfavorited tracks are reassigned to open albums. Album assignment respects ownership boundaries.
• Artist bios: On-demand bio generation using Qwen 2.5-3B when opening a favorited artist's page. Configurable per category via system prompt files. Gated behind artist_bios_enabled setting.
• Artist profile page: Full profile view with bio, albums grid, playlists grid, stats, and track listing. Accessible by clicking any artist name in radio or player.
• Artist bios setting: Toggle in settings under a new "Artists" section to enable/disable LLM bio generation.
• Category bio prompts: Genre-specific system prompts for City Pop, Lo-Fi, and Synthwave bio generation.
• Player transport thumbs: Favorite/dislike buttons in the player transport bar. Locked with tooltip when a track belongs to a playlist.
• Heart icons on artist/album pages: Visual indicator for saved vs ephemeral tracks with click-to-toggle favoriting.
• Ephemeral track dimming: Unfavorited tracks on artist/album pages display at reduced opacity to signal they are temporary.
• Auto-favorite on playlist add: Adding a track to any playlist automatically favorites it and triggers artist pool and album ownership updates.
• in_playlist track field: Track data now includes whether the track belongs to any playlist, used to lock status controls.
• Clickable album art: Album cover in the player OLED screen navigates to the album page.
• Tracklist summary label: Section header now shows track count and total duration instead of static "TRACKLIST" text.
• Album track count startup audit: Corrects any count drift in the albums table on every application start.

Changed

• Buffer priority order: Reordered genre fill priority to prevent radio stalls — urgent current genre first, then urgent prebuffer, then normal refill, then background fill.
• Bio prompts: Updated to prevent name-dropping real artists/films and to ensure bios start with self-contained sentences. Post-processing strips artist name fragments from LLM output.
• Player layout: Transport controls pushed to bottom of player view with scrollable tracklist filling available space.
• Contextual column hiding: Artist column hidden on artist pages, album column hidden on album pages — title column expands into freed space.

Removed

• scripts/generate_icon.py and server.cmd (stale files).

Fixed

• Album track count on cleanup: Track deletion now correctly decrements the parent album's track count.
• Tooltip on locked buttons: Removed pointer-events: none that prevented hover tooltips from appearing on locked transport buttons.
• Rounded corner issue: Fixed border radius at edge of main container.
• Player scrolling: Added min-height: 0 at multiple flex chain levels to restore scrolling in player view.
