Completes the artist-detail unification. Source artists now land on
the same /artist-detail page as library artists (with the source-aware
backend endpoint from earlier this session handling the data fetch).
The inline Artists page is gone — artists.js deleted, #artists-page
HTML block removed, /artists URL aliases to /search.
Source-artist callsites re-migrated from selectArtistForDetail to
navigateToArtistDetail (search results, global widget, download
modal, Discover hero / Your Artists cards / artmap context / genre
deep-dive, watchlist artist detail).
Visual upgrade to standalone hero: added .artist-detail-hero-bg +
.artist-detail-hero-overlay (blurred image bg, dark gradient — same
treatment as the inline page). library.js sets the bg image when
loading an artist.
Library-only UI hidden via CSS for source artists (existing rules
from the previous commit cover Enhanced toggle, Status filter,
completion bars, enrichment coverage, Top Tracks sidebar, Radio /
Enhance buttons).
Final 2 helpers (lazyLoadArtistImages used by wishlist-tools,
showCompletionError used by completion checker) moved from
artists.js into shared-helpers.js. The inline-page candidate set
was dropped from _resolveSimilarArtistsTargets.
init.js: 'artists' alias added at top of navigateToPage (same
pattern as the existing 'downloads' alias). 'case artists:' handler
removed from loadPageData. _getPageFromPath now maps artist-detail
to library as its parent (matches the existing nav highlight at
init.js:2161).
tests/test_script_split_integrity.py: artists.js removed from
SPLIT_MODULES; KNOWN_CROSS_FILE_DUPES updated to point escapeHtml
at shared-helpers.js instead of artists.js. 354/354 tests pass.
Net delta: -1700 lines.
Stays at 2.39. Once you've verified end-to-end (library artist ->
hero looks like inline visual; source artist from Search -> same
page, similar artists works, no 404s; /artists URL -> /search), a
follow-up commit bumps to 2.40 with the full WHATS_NEW entry that's
already prepped.
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.
Phase 3c of the Search/Artists unification. The Search page carried
a second copy of the Download Manager (active + finished queues,
clear/cancel-all buttons) that was hidden by default and duplicated
the dedicated Downloads page. That duplicate is now gone.
Removed:
- Side-panel HTML block and the toggle button that showed/hid it
- ~290 lines of polling + render infra in downloads.js: loadDownloads-
Data, startDownloadPolling/stopDownloadPolling, updateDownload-
Queues, renderQueue, updateTabCounts/updateDownloadStats,
initializeDownloadTabs/switchDownloadTab, cancelDownloadItem,
clearFinishedDownloads, cancelAllDownloads, and the
activeDownloads/finishedDownloads globals
- initializeDownloadManagerToggle and its call from init.js
- Stopped hitting /api/downloads/status every second on the Search
page (the dedicated Downloads page already polls its own view)
CSS grid for the Search page collapsed from '1fr 370px' to '1fr' now
that the right panel is gone. Unused .controls-panel__* / .download-
manager__* / .downloads-side-panel CSS rules kept in place — harmless,
can be pruned later.
Phase 3b of the Search/Artists unification. The Search page's
internal id was 'downloads', which clashed with the actual Downloads
page (id 'active-downloads') and confused anyone reading the code.
Renamed to 'search' across HTML, navigation, DOM selectors, and the
deep-link route list.
Backwards compat: navigateToPage('downloads') aliases to 'search'
at the top of the function; /downloads URL still serves index.html
and the client router resolves the page correctly; profile ACL
checks accept both 'search' and 'downloads' so existing profiles
with 'downloads' in allowed_pages keep working without migration.
Sidebar label unchanged. Zero visual change — pure internal tidy.
