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
