Phase 4a (9361c29) mistakenly routed every artist click to
navigateToArtistDetail, which fetches /api/artist-detail/<id>. That
endpoint only knows how to look up local DB primary keys. For source
artists (Spotify/Deezer/iTunes/etc.) the id is a metadata-source id,
not a library PK — so clicks 404'd out.
Library artists (db_artists section in search results, library page
clicks, stats links, media player) continue to go to the standalone
/artist-detail page as before. Source artists now route back to the
Artists page's inline view via selectArtistForDetail, which calls
/api/artist/<id>/discography with a source param — the endpoint that
actually handles non-library IDs.
Reverted 7 migration points:
- search.js: Enhanced Search source-artists onClick
- downloads.js: global widget _gsClickArtist non-library branch
- downloads.js: _navigateToArtistFromModal fallback
- discover.js: viewRecommendedArtistDiscography
- discover.js: viewDiscoverHeroDiscography
- discover.js: 'Your Artists' card name-click inline HTML
- discover.js: 'Your Artists' info-modal 'View All' button
- discover.js: artist-map context menu
- discover.js: genre-deep-dive artist click
- api-monitor.js: watchlist artist discography view
Phase 4a's goal of "one artist page for everything" is deferred —
it needs backend work on /api/artist-detail to accept a source param
and fall back to metadata-source lookup when the local DB lookup
fails. Keeping the signature extension on navigateToArtistDetail
(source parameter) in place for when that lands.
Phase 4a of the Search/Artists unification. The app had two artist-
detail implementations: the standalone page Library navigates to via
navigateToArtistDetail (its own route, deep-link support, highlights
Library in the sidebar), and an inline state inside the Artists page
reached via selectArtistForDetail. They rendered similar content but
were separate code paths and kept drifting apart (PR #356 just had
to fix source propagation in both).
Every external caller of selectArtistForDetail (9 sites across
api-monitor.js, discover.js, downloads.js, search.js) now calls
navigateToArtistDetail(id, name, source) directly. Removed ~63 lines
of the navigate-then-setTimeout-then-select dance. Source context
(Spotify/iTunes/Deezer/etc.) carries cleanly through via the new
third argument.
Artists sidebar entry, its inline search, and selectArtistForDetail
all still work — they just have no external callers. Phase 4b will
retire the sidebar entry and artists.js.
