austinried 7815f211e4 metadata: render phone screenshots from the Navidrome demo library
Replace the placeholder-art screenshots with renders of a real library, so the
store listing shows real album and artist art and names.

The generator (DemoScreenshotTest, run with `gradle :app:demoScreenshots`) syncs
the public Navidrome demo (demo.navidrome.org) into an in-memory database using
the normal SyncService pipeline, derives the theme colours from the fetched
cover art, and renders each screen. The synced data and cover art stay in memory
and are never written to the repository; only the resulting PNGs are committed.
The test is excluded from the unit-test tasks and is not part of CI.

Also reverts the screenshot fixture palette tweak from the previous commit,
which the real art makes unnecessary.

# AGENTS.md
Guidance for agents (and humans) working in this repository.
## What this is
A native Android rewrite of Subtracks, a client for Subsonic-compatible servers (Navidrome, gonic, Airsonic, ...), in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. The `main` history still contains the earlier Flutter app; the native app is being built fresh under `app/` and ships as `com.subtracks.next` for side-by-side beta. The aim is a clean, F-Droid-friendly client: free/libre dependencies only, no telemetry.
## Environment
Everything comes from the Nix flake devshell; do not install toolchains by hand.
- Enter it with `nix develop`, or let direnv load it into your shell (`.envrc` runs `use flake`).
- The default devshell provides JDK 21, Gradle 9, the Android SDK (platform 37, build-tools 37.0.0, platform-tools 37.0.1) and nushell.
- The integration harness needs real servers, so it lives in a separate `nix develop .#integration` shell (navidrome, gonic, lms, php, Nextcloud with the Music app, sqlite). Keeping them out of the default shell avoids pulling that closure into everyday builds.
- Build with the devshell `gradle`, not `./gradlew`. CI uses the nix Gradle pinned by `flake.lock`; the wrapper is kept only for people without Nix.
## Commands
- Build: `gradle :app:assembleDebug`
- Release build: `gradle :app:assembleRelease` only when build config, R8/ProGuard or dependencies change, and once before a merge; not part of routine verification
- Unit tests: `gradle :app:testDebugUnitTest`
- Lint: `gradle :app:ktlintCheck :app:lintDebug`
- Format: `gradle :app:ktlintFormat`
- Integration tests: `nix develop .#integration --command nu tools/integration-test.nu` (starts navidrome, gonic, lms and a Nextcloud Music instance, then runs `:app:integrationTest`)
- Screenshots: `gradle :app:recordRoborazziDebug` renders the `*Screen` composables to `app/src/test/screenshots/` (gitignored) plus an HTML report in `app/build/reports/roborazzi/`, for local review. No golden images are committed and `verifyRoborazziDebug` is not part of CI.
- Demo screenshots: `gradle :app:demoScreenshots` does a real sync of the public Navidrome demo (`https://demo.navidrome.org`, `demo`/`demo`) and renders the store screenshots with that library's art and names into `app/src/test/screenshots/demo/` (gitignored). Needs network; not part of CI or the integration suite.
## Testing layout
- `app/src/test` - JVM unit tests (JUnit4, Robolectric, Roborazzi, MockWebServer). Run by `:app:testDebugUnitTest`.
- `app/src/integrationTest` - tests that need real servers. Compiled with the unit test sources but run by the dedicated `:app:integrationTest` task, and excluded from every `*UnitTest` task. The nushell harness starts the servers for you.
- A test earns its place only if it fails when the behaviour it covers breaks, and passes when the behaviour works. A test that passes either way is worse than no test: it looks like coverage while hiding the gap. So when you add one, break the behaviour (or run the test against the pre-fix code), watch it fail, then restore the fix and watch it pass.
## CI
- Forgejo Actions, `.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml`, a single `ci` job that runs the lint, unit test and integration test steps (one cache restore/save and Gradle warm-up instead of three).
- Runs on the `nix-docker` runner (the `localhost/nix-ci` image built by the separate `nix-home` repo) inside the devshell, restoring the Nix store via `cache-nix-action` and caching Gradle and the integration test music.
- The `nix-docker` and `bookworm` runner labels, their images and the runner's networking are defined in the separate `nix-home` repo (`hosts-incus/git-runner.nix`).
- Pull requests from a fork need approval before the workflow runs.
- The GitHub mirror and the GitHub PR import live under `.forgejo/`; see `.forgejo/README.md`.
## Conventions
- Prefer self-explanatory code; do not add comments unless the reason cannot be inferred from the code itself (docstrings for functions and exports are fine).
- ktlint (`org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint`) enforces style and flags unused imports; run `gradle :app:ktlintFormat` before committing. `.editorconfig` exempts `@Composable` functions from the lowerCamelCase function-naming rule.
- Room 3 (`androidx.room3`) on AndroidX `sqlite-bundled` (`BundledSQLiteDriver`, SQLite 3.50+). Do not reintroduce SQLDelight or the platform SQLite.
- Networking uses OkHttp and DOM XML parsing; auth uses the Subsonic token scheme by default.
- Use coroutines and `Flow`; library reads are exposed as `Flow` from Room. Large lists page with Paging 3 over Room `PagingSource` rather than loading the whole table.
- The library is mirrored in full at sync and must work offline. Never fetch library metadata on demand for browsing, filtering or sorting; only media bytes (streams, downloads) and images are on-demand. A server-derived sort key must be synced into a local column, not requested lazily when the sort is selected.
- Playback is Media3: `PlaybackService` is a `MediaSessionService` owning an `ExoPlayer`, and `PlaybackController` (app-scoped Koin singleton) is the only thing the UI talks to. The queue is a `queue_entries` list of references with optional ranges plus a `playback_cursor` row; keep only a bounded window in memory (never the whole queue, and never load a whole table to build one). Stream URLs are freshly salted per request, so attach artwork by `CoverArtRef` cache key, not by URL.
- UI state lives in `androidx.lifecycle.ViewModel`, wired with Koin (`koinViewModel()`); screens split into a stateful `*Route` and a stateless `*Screen` for screenshot tests.
- UI and playback preferences go in DataStore (`UserPreferences`), not Room.
- Verify current dependency versions and their compatibility before adding or pinning anything.
## Gotchas
- Robolectric runs at SDK 35 while `targetSdk` is 37; raising it changes the on-demand Roborazzi renders (there are no committed goldens to re-record).
- Room 3 does not map `PagingSource` automatically: a DAO that returns it needs `@DaoReturnTypeConverters(PagingSourceDaoReturnTypeConverter::class)`.
- Material icons are not pulled in by `material3`; use the BOM-managed `material-icons-core`/`material-icons-extended` (frozen at 1.7.8). Extended is large in debug builds but R8 strips unused icons from release.
- Robolectric creates a fresh `Application` per test in one JVM, so `SubtracksApp.onCreate` stops any running Koin before `startKoin`.
- `applicationId` is `com.subtracks.next` for the beta; change it to `com.subtracks` before any store release.
- The CI image provides `nix-ld`, `jq`, `sqlite`, `node`, `zstd` and a `runner` user that `cache-nix-action` expects. None of that is needed locally beyond the devshell.
- Integration servers: navidrome on 4533 (`admin`/`password`), gonic on 4747 (`admin`/`admin`), lms on 5082 (`admin`/`subtracks-lms`), Nextcloud Music on 8090 (`admin`/`subtracks-nextcloud`, base URL `http://localhost:8090/index.php/apps/music/subsonic/`). The test music is cached in `.integration/music` (gitignored).
- lms and Nextcloud Music authenticate the Subsonic API with per-user **API keys** instead of passwords. The harness seeds a key and most tests use `useTokenAuth = false`; `SubsonicAuthIntegrationTest` drives `useTokenAuth = true` and asserts the fallback to plaintext (lms answers code 42, Nextcloud 41).
- `nix develop` does not source your shell rc files (so tools like atuin are not active); use direnv if you want your normal interactive shell.
