When an extension's preferred output isn't .m4a, downloaded M4A streams
are now automatically converted to FLAC via FFmpeg instead of being
preserved. This applies to both SAF and non-SAF download paths.
- Add monochrome.tf and samidy.com Tidal API mirrors
- Guarantee resolvedProvider is never null by defaulting to 'tidal'
- Replace stale 'Deezer' default label with 'Tidal' (Deezer moved to extension)
- Show dynamic provider target in auto label for search dropdown
- Bind cancel context to all extension HTTP calls (fetch, httpGet, httpPost,
httpRequest, fileDownload, authExchangeCodeWithPKCE) so in-flight requests
are aborted when user cancels a download
- Make initDownloadCancel idempotent: return existing context if entry already
exists and preserve pre-cancelled state
- Force SAF output filename to match actual file extension when extension
returns a different format than requested (e.g. FLAC requested but M4A produced)
- Map ALAC/AAC quality to .m4a instead of falling through to default .flac
- Embed DownloadQueueLookup into DownloadQueueState; add updatedForIndices() for O(changed) incremental updates during frequent progress ticks instead of full O(n) rebuild
- downloadQueueLookupProvider now reads pre-computed lookup from state directly
- Replace sync file deletion in DownloadedEmbeddedCoverResolver with unawaited async cleanup to avoid blocking the main thread
- Parse JSON payloads on iOS native side (parseJsonPayload) so event sinks and method channel responses return native objects, avoiding redundant Dart-side JSON decode
- Use .cast<String, dynamic>() instead of Map.from() in _decodeMapResult for zero-copy map handling
- Move explore JSON decode/encode to compute() isolate to avoid blocking main thread
- Memoize search sort results (artists/albums/playlists/tracks) in HomeTab; invalidate on new query
- Extract _DownloadedOrRemoteCover StatefulWidget with proper embedded-cover lifecycle management
- Replace O(playlists x tracks) in-memory playlist picker check with SQL loadPlaylistPickerSummaries query
- Add FutureProvider.family (libraryPlaylistPickerSummariesProvider) invalidated on all playlist mutations
- Memoize _buildQueueHistoryStats, localPathMatchKeys, and localSingleItems in QueueTab
- Add coverCacheWidthForViewport util; apply memCacheWidth/cacheWidth based on real DPR across all album/playlist/track screens
- Convert sync file ops in TrackMetadataScreen to async; use mtime+size as validation token
- Fetch Deezer album nb_tracks in parallel via fetchAlbumTrackCounts
- Default track/disc number to 0 (unknown) instead of 1, letting the
backend use the service-provided value or skip the field entirely
- Add releaseDate to ExploreItem so explore downloads carry release info
- Pass discNumber and releaseDate from extension album/playlist tracks
- Fix isDeezer detection using service field instead of substring match
- Add _displayServiceTrackId() to properly strip prefixes for all services
ReplayGain (track + album):
- Scan track loudness via FFmpeg ebur128 filter (-18 LUFS reference)
- Duration-weighted power-mean for album gain computation
- Support for FLAC (native Vorbis), MP3 (ID3v2 TXXX), Opus, M4A
- Album RG auto-finalizes when all album tracks complete
- Retryable gate: blocks finalization while failed/skipped items exist
- SAF support: lossy album RG writes via temp file + writeTempToSaf
- New embedReplayGain setting (off by default) with UI toggle
APEv2 tag support:
- Full APEv2 reader/writer with header+items+footer format
- Merge-based editing with override keys for explicit deletions
- Binary cover art embedding (Cover Art (Front) item)
- Library scanner support for .ape/.wv/.mpc files
- ReplayGain fields in APE read/write/edit pipeline
Bug fixes (26):
- setArtistComments wiping fields on empty string value
- APEv2 rewrite corrupting files with ID3v1 trailer
- APE edit replacing entire tag instead of merging
- ReplayGain lost on manual MP3/Opus/M4A metadata edit
- Editor metadata save losing custom tags (preserveMetadata)
- Album RG accumulator not cleaned on queue mutation
- Album gain using unweighted mean instead of power-mean
- writeAlbumReplayGainTags return value silently ignored
- SAF album RG writing to deleted temp path
- Cancelled tracks polluting album gain computation
- APE ReplayGain not wired end-to-end
- APE field deletion not working in merge
- APE cover edit was a no-op
- Album RG duplicate entries on retry
- APE apeKeysFromFields missing track/disc/lyrics mappings
- Album RG entries purged by removeItem before computation
- FFmpeg converters discarding empty metadata values
- _appendVorbisArtistEntries skipping empty value (null vs empty)
- Album RG write-back fails for SAF lossy files
- Album RG partial finalization on failed tracks
- FLAC ClearEmpty flag destroying tags on partial callers
- clearCompleted not retriggering album RG checks
- ReadFileMetadata MP3/Ogg missing label and copyright
- Cover embed on CUE split destroying split artist tags
- Album RG gain format inconsistent (missing + prefix)
- FLAC reader/editor missing tag aliases (ALBUMARTIST, LABEL, etc.)
- dart:math log shadowed by logger.dart export
Resolve API (api.zarz.moe):
- Refactor songlink.go: Spotify URLs use resolve API, non-Spotify uses SongLink API
- Add SongLink fallback when resolve API fails for Spotify (two-layer resilience)
- Remove dead code: page parser, XOR-obfuscated keys, legacy helpers
Multi-artist tag fix (#288):
- Add RewriteSplitArtistTags() in Go to rewrite ARTIST/ALBUMARTIST as split Vorbis comments
- Wire method channel handler in Android (MainActivity.kt) and iOS (AppDelegate.swift)
- Add PlatformBridge.rewriteSplitArtistTags() in Dart
- Call native FLAC rewriter after FFmpeg embed when split_vorbis mode is active
- Extract deezerTrackArtistDisplay() helper to use Contributors in album/playlist tracks
Code cleanup:
- Remove unused imports, dead code, and redundant comments across Go and Dart
- Fix build: remove stale getQobuzDebugKey() reference in deezer_download.go
Add singleFilenameFormat setting so singles/EPs can use a different filename template than albums. The format editor is reused with custom title/description. Dart selects the correct format based on track.isSingle before passing to Go, so no backend changes needed. Also fix isSingle getter to include all EPs regardless of totalTracks. Closes#271

- Add l10n keys for artist tag mode, library files unit, and scan finalizing status
- Introduce coverCacheKey parameter through Go backend and Kotlin bridge for stable SAF cover caching
- Add MetadataFromFilename flag to skip filename-only metadata and retry via temp-file copy
- Add Qobuz album-search fallback between API search and store scraping
- Extract buildReEnrichFFmpegMetadata to skip empty metadata fields
- Add metadata completeness filter (complete, missing year/genre/album artist)
- Add sort modes: artist, album, release date, genre (asc/desc)
- Prune stale library cover cache files after full scan
- Skip empty values and zero track/disc numbers in FFmpeg metadata
- Add new l10n keys for metadata filter and sort options
Pass active download item ID through extension download pipeline so
fileDownload can report bytes received/total via ItemProgressWriter.
Add bytesTotal field to DownloadItem model and show X/Y MB progress
in queue tab when total size is known.
Enable strict-casts, strict-inference, and strict-raw-types in
analysis_options.yaml. Add custom_lint with riverpod_lint. Fix all
resulting type warnings with explicit type parameters and safer casts.
Also improves APK update checker to detect device ABIs for correct
variant selection and fixes Deezer artist name parsing edge case.
Load saved registry URL before first state update to prevent brief
flash of the setup screen when the store tab initializes.
Add Ogg/Opus fallback in readFileMetadata when FLAC parsing fails,
handling files saved with .flac extension that contain opus data.

Requested by @okinaau in issue #242 — brings back the ability to
download tracks in lossy format for users on low storage devices.
HIGH quality fetches the AAC M4A stream directly from the Tidal server
(no lossless download + re-encode), then converts to MP3 or Opus via
FFmpeg based on the tidalHighFormat setting (mp3_320, opus_256, or
opus_128).
- go_backend/tidal.go: restore outputExt .m4a, filename logic,
duplicate-check guard, HIGH M4A lyrics/LRC handling, and
bitDepth=0/sampleRate=44100 for HIGH quality result
- settings.dart + settings.g.dart: re-add tidalHighFormat field
(default mp3_320) with JSON serialization
- settings_provider.dart: re-add setTidalHighFormat(), remove
migration that force-migrated HIGH to LOSSLESS
- download_queue_provider.dart: restore HIGH conversion logic for
both SAF and non-SAF paths using FFmpegService.convertM4aToLossy
- download_settings_page.dart: restore Lossy 320kbps quality tile,
format sub-picker tile, _getTidalHighFormatLabel helper, and
_showTidalHighFormatPicker bottom sheet
- l10n: add 10 keys (downloadLossy320, downloadLossyFormat,
downloadLossy320Format, downloadLossy320FormatDesc, downloadLossyMp3,
downloadLossyMp3Subtitle, downloadLossyOpus256/Subtitle,
downloadLossyOpus128/Subtitle) to ARB and all 13 generated files
