Slice 1 of the cover-caching pass. The previous Image.network /
NetworkImage path only cached covers in memory, so a scroll-off + scroll-
back or an app restart re-downloaded every tile from the server. Swap
to cached_network_image so bytes land on disk (path_provider temp dir,
URL-keyed) and survive both.
Sites migrated:
- ServerImage (all /api/*/cover usage — home grid, library, playlist,
artist/album detail headers)
- DiscoverScreen Lidarr suggestion thumbnails
- PlayerBar mini cover (HTTPS branch; file:// branch unchanged since
AlbumCoverCache files are already on disk)
Auth header forwarding preserved via httpHeaders. Fade-in disabled so
populated grids paint instantly on cache hit.
Slice 2 (pre-warm during sync) builds on this same cache manager.
Five terse "No X." strings replaced with the longer actionable forms
the web SPA uses on equivalent surfaces:
- Library Artists/Albums tabs: "No artists yet — scan a library folder
via the server's config." (mirrors web /library/artists, /albums)
- Library Liked tab: "No liked artists, albums, or tracks yet."
(consolidates web's per-section copy since Flutter shows all three
in one tab)
- Search no-results: "No matches for that query." (web has per-section
copy that doesn't fit Flutter's combined view)
- Discover no-results: "Nothing to add for that search yet." (mirrors
web /discover)
Hidden tab keeps its current actionable hint (web's "Nothing hidden
yet." is terser but lacks the "use a track's menu to flag" guidance).

Search keeps its conditional clear-text button and gains the shared
nav widget after it. Discover/Playlists/Settings get an actions row
they didn't have before. The kebab is now reachable from every
top-level screen, which is the prerequisite for the Admin entry.
