First increment of the artist-detail unification redesign. Delivers
the two most-visible missing pieces for source artists without touching
the hero layout — that's a later commit.
Changes:
- HTML: new #ad-similar-artists-section inside #artist-detail-main
(scoped IDs with 'ad-' prefix so they don't collide with the inline
Artists page, which has the same section using base IDs).
- shared-helpers.js: similar-artists helpers (loadSimilarArtists +
display/progressive/createBubble + lazy image loader) moved out of
artists.js. New _resolveSimilarArtistsTargets() resolver picks
whichever candidate set has a `.page.active` ancestor, so the same
function works on both the inline Artists page and the standalone
artist-detail page without caller changes.
- library.js populateArtistDetailPage: sets
document.body.dataset.artistSource = 'library' | 'source' before
rendering, and fires loadSimilarArtists(artist.name) after
populating the rest of the page.
- style.css: body[data-artist-source='source'] rules hide
library-only UI on the artist-detail page — Enhanced view toggle,
Status (owned/missing) filter, completion bars, enrichment
coverage, Top Tracks sidebar, Radio / Enhance Quality buttons,
"X owned / Y missing" section-stats counts. CSS-only, additive,
library artists completely unaffected.
Impact today:
- Library artists: Similar Artists section now appears at the
bottom of their detail page (previously only the inline Artists
page had it). All other UI unchanged.
- Source artists: still route to the inline Artists page (Part B
reverted earlier this session). The standalone page is now
source-ready infrastructure-wise, but source artists don't reach
it yet. A later commit will re-migrate source callers to the
standalone page once the hero rendering is also source-ready.
artists.js shrinks from 1903 -> 1584 lines (similar-artists block
extracted). shared-helpers.js grows correspondingly. 357/357 tests
still pass. No version bump — this is still 2.39 pending.
Part D + E of the deferred cleanup + the final version bump that
publishes the whole Search/Artists unification project.
Deletions:
- webui/static/artists.js (1903 lines) — removed entirely. The 2
remaining externally-referenced helpers (lazyLoadArtistImages +
showCompletionError) moved into shared-helpers.js first.
- webui/index.html — 140-line #artists-page HTML block and the
<script src="artists.js"> tag both removed.
init.js wiring:
- 'case artists:' removed from loadPageData switch (no page to init).
- navigateToPage top-level alias extended: 'artists' → 'search'
(same pattern as the existing 'downloads' → 'search' alias).
Legacy /artists bookmarks land on the unified Search page, the
natural place to find an artist now.
- _getPageFromPath now maps artist-detail → library as its parent
(was artists). Matches the existing library-nav-highlight at
init.js:2161.
Version bump:
- _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION 2.39 → 2.40.
- WHATS_NEW entries lose the 'unreleased' scaffolding and gain a
new top entry summarizing the unified artist-detail page + the
final artists.js retirement.
- version-info modal gets a 'Search & Artists Unification' section
at the top.
- The _getLatestWhatsNewVersion filter added during the unreleased-
tracking phase is rolled back — entries now display as soon as
they land in WHATS_NEW, matching the pre-unification behaviour.
Test suite:
- tests/test_script_split_integrity.py SPLIT_MODULES updated:
'artists.js' dropped, 'shared-helpers.js' added. escapeHtml's
cross-file dupe list entry updated to reference shared-helpers.
- 354/354 tests pass.
User-visible result after this commit:
- Sidebar: Search, Downloads, Discover, Library, Wishlist, etc. —
no more Artists entry.
- Click any artist anywhere: lands on the same /artist-detail page.
- Search page has a source dropdown; Soulseek is just another option.
- Legacy /downloads and /artists URLs alias to /search.
- Version button shows v2.3 (Docker major); "What's New" panel
opens to the unification summary.
Closes the project Cin requested in Discord. Future work: source-aware
/api/artist-detail could be extended to fall back through the whole
source priority chain when a specific source is given but returns no
discography. Not needed for the current flows.
Part C of the deferred unification cleanup. The Artists page is no
longer in the sidebar, but its JS file can't be deleted yet because
it houses ~20 general-purpose helpers that other modules depend on
(escapeHtml used in 229 places, service-status polling, image-colour
extraction, download-bubble infrastructure, discography completion
checking, enrichment card rendering).
Moved all non-page-specific code from artists.js into the new
webui/static/shared-helpers.js — pure copy/paste, zero logic change.
Two contiguous blocks extracted:
Block A (lines 1097..1398 of original artists.js): discography
completion suite — checkDiscographyCompletion, handleStreaming-
CompletionUpdate, cacheCompletionData, updateAlbumCompletion-
Overlay, getCompletionStatusText, setAlbumDownloadedStatus,
setAlbumDownloadingStatus.
Block B (lines 2206..EOF of original artists.js): download-bubble
infrastructure (artist + search + Beatport clusters with their
snapshot/hydrate/modal/monitor helpers), openDownloadMissingModal-
ForArtistAlbum, image-colour extractor and dynamic-glow helper,
escapeHtml, service-status polling, renderEnrichmentCards.
Function declarations in a plain <script> tag are auto-global, so all
existing callers continue to resolve without any import/export
changes. Load order in index.html: shared-helpers.js loads right
after core.js (which defines the artistDownloadBubbles / search-
DownloadBubbles / beatportDownloadBubbles globals these helpers use).
Stats:
artists.js: 4638 → 1903 lines (-2735)
shared-helpers.js: new, 2762 lines
No function duplicated between the two files
All 357 tests pass (3 new from split-integrity parametrization)
What's left in artists.js is purely the Artists page — search UI,
detail view, state switching, watchlist button, discography loading.
All of that is reachable only by typing /artists in the URL bar
since the sidebar entry was retired in Phase 4b. Parts D + E will
delete that remainder and the file itself.
When the user reached the inline Artists detail view from outside
the Artists page and no browser history is available (direct
bookmark), fall back to the Search page instead of Dashboard.
Search is the natural next step for finding a different artist.
Reverts the 2.40→2.49 version spam from this session — every phase
commit was bumping the display version when the whole Search/Artists
unification project should really be a single release.
Changes:
- _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION back to 2.39
- All session-level version-info sections consolidated — the endpoint
response is back to the pre-session 2.39 shape
- helper.js WHATS_NEW entries for 2.40–2.49 collapsed into a single
'2.40' block with one bullet per phase, marked unreleased
- _getLatestWhatsNewVersion / _showOlderNotes filter out entries
whose version is higher than the current build, so the 2.40 block
won't fire the 'new' badge or appear in the What's New panel until
we actually flip the build version
- Picks up the artist-detail back-button fix from the previous turn
(falls back to browser history when the user reached the inline
detail from outside the Artists page)
When the unification project is done, a single commit that bumps
_SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION to 2.40 will publish the whole folded entry.
- Pass source through artist, library, wishlist, and rehydration album-track fetches
- Preserve the resolved metadata source on cached discography and artist detail state
- Prevent 404s when opening artist-page album modals from non-Spotify sources
