User intent (likes, hides, playlist adds, Lidarr requests, cancels)
now persists across network loss. Controllers write their optimistic
local state to drift first, then try the REST call; on failure
the call is enqueued in cached_mutations rather than rolled back.
MutationReplayer drains the queue on connectivity transitions and
a 1-minute periodic tick.
**Infrastructure (schema 8):**
* CachedMutations table — id / kind / payload (JSON) / createdAt
/ lastAttemptAt / attempts. Drop-after-5-attempts semantics: a
permanently-failing mutation eventually drops, and next sync
reconciles drift to the server's authoritative state.
* MutationQueue.enqueue / pendingCount
* MutationReplayer.start + .drain — start fires from app.dart's
postFrameCallback alongside SyncController / Prefetcher / etc.
* Kind registry: like.add / like.remove / quarantine.flag /
quarantine.unflag / playlist.append / request.create /
request.cancel — each with a Ref+payload handler that re-fires
the corresponding REST call.
**Wired surfaces:**
* LikesController.toggle — optimistic drift like/unlike stays
across REST failure; queues the call. Drops the old rollback.
* MyQuarantineController.flag / .unflag — same pattern. Hide/unhide
visibly persists offline; replays when back online.
* addToPlaylistActionProvider — now does an optimistic
cached_playlist_tracks write (position = max + 1) so the
playlist detail screen shows the new track instantly. Queues
appendTracks on REST failure.
* DiscoverScreen._request — queues request.create on DioException.
No drift state for the request itself (myRequestsProvider is
still REST-only) so the row won't show on /requests until replay
succeeds — acceptable for v1.
* MyRequestsController.cancel — optimistic in-memory remove no
longer restores on failure; queues request.cancel instead.
**Test update:**
quarantine_provider_test "flag rolls back on server failure"
renamed and rewritten to assert the new offline behavior:
optimistic drift row persists, mutation is enqueued for replay.
**Out of scope (v2):**
* Playlist create / rename / delete (no Flutter UI exposes these yet)
* Lidarr request optimistic local row (would need a cached_requests
drift table)
* UI "syncing N pending changes" indicator (operator preference:
silent unless we find a concrete need)
Four-part change to push more surfaces onto the drift cache and
eliminate cold-tab-visit latency on the Library screen.
* **Library Artists tab** — _libraryArtistsProvider migrates from
REST-paginated AsyncNotifier with infinite-scroll loadMore to a
drift-first StreamProvider over cached_artists ordered by
sortName. Sync already populates the full set; cacheFirst's
fetchAndPopulate covers the fresh-install + sync-not-yet-done
cold case via /api/artists?limit=1000. SWR refresh on every
visit. GridView.builder lazily realizes only visible cells so
loading the full list up front is fine for typical libraries.
loadMore + NotificationListener gone.
* **Library Albums tab** — same migration, drift-first over
cached_albums joined with cached_artists for the artistName
field.
* **systemPlaylistsStatusProvider** — new CachedSystemPlaylistsStatus
single-row table (schema 6 → 7, JSON blob like CachedHomeSnapshot)
for the home Playlists row's "building / pending / failed"
placeholder logic. Drift-first means the row paints with the
prior status instantly instead of flickering through
SystemPlaylistsStatus.empty() while the REST call resolves.
* **Library screen tab pre-warm** — ref.listen on all 5 tab
providers in _LibraryScreenState.build subscribes them upfront
so swiping between tabs feels instant rather than each tab
paying its own cold-cache cost on first visit. cacheFirst
handles dedupe of concurrent fetchAndPopulate triggers.
Test mock updated for the StreamProvider type change on
systemPlaylistsStatusProvider.
Plumbing for the per-item rendering pass — no UI changes yet, just
the layers the home/playlist/liked migrations will sit on.
* CachedHomeIndex drift table (schema 5→6) — section/position →
entity-id rows, populated by the upcoming /api/home/index endpoint.
* HydrationQueue (concurrency=4, in-flight dedup) — bounded request
pump that takes (entityType, entityId) and persists the result to
the right cached_<entity> table. Albums + artists wired today;
tracks deferred until /api/tracks/:id exists.
* Per-entity tile providers (albumTileProvider, artistTileProvider,
trackTileProvider as StreamProvider.family) — watch drift, enqueue
hydration on miss, yield AsyncValue<EntityRef?>.
* Skeleton widgets (album/artist/track) matched to the real card
dimensions with a 1.2s shimmer sweep using FabledSword tokens. No
shimmer-package dep — single AnimationController per surface.

for the full architecture rationale.
Final slice of the smooth-loading pass. Adds CachedQuarantineMine
(schema 5, columnar so flag/unflag can do row-level mutation) and
rewires MyQuarantineController to read from drift via watch() + SWR
refresh; flag/unflag write drift first and roll back on REST failure.
Public API (.flag / .unflag / .isHidden) unchanged so existing call
sites (library_screen Hidden tab, TrackActionsSheet) keep working.
Tests updated to match: bypassed-build-via-_StubController approach
no longer makes sense now that state lives in drift, so the suite is
rewritten against NativeDatabase.memory() with the same libsqlite3
skip the sync_controller suite uses on the CI runner.
The Hidden tab now paints from disk on cold open, the list is
queryable offline, and a flag from another device that arrived in
this user's quarantine via SSE-triggered invalidate lands the same
way as a local flag.
Slice 4 of the smooth-loading pass. Adds CachedHistorySnapshot
(schema 4) and rewires _historyProvider through cacheFirst, mirroring
the homeProvider pattern: yield the last cached page immediately on
subscribe so the tab paints from disk on cold open, then SWR-refresh
in the background to surface fresh plays.
Also enables basic offline scrollback — the most recent History page
survives both app restart and connectivity loss.
JSON blob storage (vs columnar) because the page is small, always
read whole, and HistoryPage.fromJson already accepts the wire shape,
so server-side field additions don't force a migration.
History delta sync via library_changes is out of scope here; the next
visit's SWR pull is the source of freshness for now.
Home screen is the first surface on app open; without a local cache
the cold-start blocks on /api/home, which dominates felt latency on
slow or remote connections. This commit caches the last successful
HomeData as a single-row JSON blob in drift, so subsequent app opens
yield content immediately and revalidate in the background.
Schema:
- New CachedHomeSnapshot table (single row: id=1, json TEXT,
updated_at). schemaVersion bumped 2 → 3 with a forward migration
that calls m.createTable(cachedHomeSnapshot). Codegen regenerated
via build_runner; the *.g.dart files are gitignored and rebuilt
by the CI Codegen step.
Provider rewrite:
- homeProvider: FutureProvider<HomeData> → StreamProvider<HomeData>
using the existing cacheFirst<CachedHomeSnapshotData, HomeData>
pattern (alwaysRefresh: true for SWR). On cold cache the first
/api/home fetch populates the row. On warm cache the cached
HomeData is yielded immediately and a background REST fetch
overwrites the row, which drift's watch() picks up.
- Encoder helpers (_albumToJson / _artistToJson / _trackToJson) so
HomeData survives the JSON round-trip into and out of drift.
Field names match the server's /api/home wire shape exactly so
HomeData.fromJson handles both fresh server responses and cached
drift rows.
Callers untouched: home_screen.dart's ref.watch + ref.refresh +
metadata_prefetcher's ref.listen all keep working with the
StreamProvider shape (AsyncValue<HomeData> stays the surface type).
Test fix: 4 homeProvider.overrideWith sites in home_screen_test.dart
switched from `(ref) async => _emptyHome` (FutureProvider form) to
`(ref) => Stream.value(_emptyHome)` (StreamProvider form).
For #357. Completes the user-visible deferred follow-up. Remaining
deferred items: library_changes server-side retention.

Two fixes in one commit because they're entangled — the systemVariant
work would have been theater otherwise.
## The wire-format bug
/api/library/sync was emitting PascalCase JSON for artist / album /
track / playlist upserts (raw json.Marshal of sqlc-generated structs
with no JSON tags — sqlc.yaml: emit_json_tags=false). Flutter's
sync_controller _*FromJson reads snake_case keys, so all metadata
sync rows landed in drift with empty strings / zero ints.
The like_track / like_album / like_artist / playlist_track entities
work because they're hand-built `map[string]string` payloads with
snake_case keys — they sidestepped the bug. The 4 raw-marshal
entities did not.
Existing sync test caught zero of this — it asserts on len(upserts)
not field shape.
Fix: server-side view structs in library_sync_views.go with proper
JSON tags + pgtype-flattening (UUID → 8-4-4-4-12 hex string,
Date → "2006-01-02"). Mirrors the playlistRowView pattern from
/api/playlists. New library_sync_views_test.go pins the wire keys
so future field-name drift breaks loud.
## systemVariant column (closes#357 plan C v1 limitation)
playlistSyncView now carries `system_variant` server → wire.
Flutter drift schema bumped from 1 → 2 with onUpgrade adding the
`systemVariant TEXT NULL` column to cached_playlists. Cursor reset
to 0 in the migration so existing rows refresh with the new field
on the next sync.
playlistsListProvider now filters locally by systemVariant:
- kind='user' → systemVariant IS NULL (the add-to-playlist sheet's intent)
- kind='system' → systemVariant IS NOT NULL
- kind='all' → no filter
Closes the documented v1 limitation where the add-to-playlist sheet
showed system playlists alongside user-created ones.
