A show that has published for years is unbounded: GEOlino Spezial alone is 358
episodes and 5.8 GB, and the device it syncs onto is a 30 GB SD card that also
holds the rest of the library. Nothing stopped the 6-hourly poll from eventually
filling it.
Cap each show's folder at general.podcast_episode_limit (default 50, null to
keep everything), pruning the oldest past that after each sync pass.
The same limit caps what is downloaded, and it has to be one number for both.
Prune to the newest N but keep fetching everything the feed offers, and every
poll would re-download exactly the episodes the previous one deleted - forever,
at full size, since missing_episodes() decides purely from what is on disk.
There is a test for that specific loop.
Pruning only touches files named the way this module names them
(YYYYMMDD - Title.ext), so feed.txt, folder.jpg, the failed-download record and
anything placed by hand are all left alone; a parse that fails means "not ours",
not "delete it". An episode's sidecar cover goes with it. A pass that only
deleted still reports a change, because the library needs the rescan just as
much as it does after a download.

Copying the library to a Pi is one rsync; copying the cache with it is not,
because its three parts travel differently. covers/ is keyed by the album
folder's path relative to the library root, so it survives the move. analysis/
is keyed by name:size:mtime, so it survives only if mtimes do - hence -a
everywhere, and a comment saying why. index.json holds absolute source paths and
must not be copied at all: scan_library() reuses a cached album on a matching
(name, size, mtime) fingerprint without re-checking the path, so copying it
leaves every album pointing at the dev machine and playback fails on files that
are present. It is the cheap part, and the device rebuilds it on first scan
while reusing everything expensive.
Syncs shelf by shelf rather than the whole directory, which is what makes
--delete safe: config.yml, tippen-curriculum.yml, tippen-progress.json and the
cache all live in the same directory on the device and have no counterpart here.
Preflight checks ssh, sizes the transfer and refuses to fill the SD card.

python-backend/.gitignore lists /.musicmouse-cache, but index.json and seven
cover JPGs were committed before that ignore existed, so the ignore never
applied to them. index.json is a 2 MB machine-specific blob holding 6606
absolute /home/martin/... paths, rewritten on every app start - it showed up as
modified in git status permanently, and a deploy checkout would have shipped a
dev machine's index to the device.
The files stay on disk; only the tracking goes.

The reward pipeline worked end to end already, but it had nothing to show for
itself: the unlock was one more line at the bottom of the result sheet, a 52px
thumbnail with the generic 520ms pop, below the stars, the stats, the progress
bar, the animal ladder and three other badges. The sound was `playFanfare`, the
same chirp used for a new lesson and a new aquarium pet. It fired correctly and
was impossible to notice.
This is the only reward that reaches outside the game, so it now gets the whole
screen. A chest drops in shut and rattles, the lid swings open on a burst of
light and confetti, the cover art rises out of it, and the tune is a real melody
- two seconds landing on a held major chord - rather than another blip. It is
dismissed by hand, so she can look at what she won for as long as she likes.
On the map, the 15px 🎁 becomes a drawn chest, shut while the reward is unwon
and open with the cover inside once it has been. It is rendered as a sibling of
the lesson node rather than a child, because a locked node is dimmed to 45% and
the chest that most needs to be bright is the one three worlds away.
One real bug behind the missing badge state: `progressFromApi` dropped the
`earned` flag the backend already sends, so the map could not tell a claimed
reward from an unclaimed one. Added, with a test that names it - a hand-written
field mapping loses fields without failing a type check.

The aquarium was a separate landing screen in front of the map, showing the pets
collected so far and a "Weiter üben" button. But the pets already swim behind
every screen in the tab, so the screen mostly restated what was visible anyway,
at the cost of one extra step between opening the tab and typing.
The map absorbs what was worth keeping: the "Weiter üben" button now floats over
it, and the pets, streak and best animal move into the header. One Escape from
the map leaves the tab entirely, where it used to go back a screen first.

A reward-gated album showed a bare ❓ over the generated gradient, which reads as
"something is broken" rather than "something is waiting". It is now a proper
placeholder cover, with a separate one for audiobooks and podcasts.

A lesson's `keys` was capped at two outright, which made it impossible to write
"K, with the four keys before it still in play". The cap now counts only what is
*new*; keys already taught can be listed freely, and the spotlight falls on the
new ones alone, so a lesson titled "K" drills K instead of spreading itself
evenly over all five keys it names. A round that introduces nothing new still
spotlights its whole list - that is the "mixed" replay, unchanged.
Also documents `unlocks:` paths as relative to the library root. Absolute and
"~" paths still resolve, so an existing file keeps working, but a relative path
survives moving the library.

Pearls were earned every run and spent on nothing: the aquarium fills up by
finishing worlds, not by paying for it. A counter that only ever goes up is one
more stat competing for attention on the result sheet and the home screen, and
one more field to carry through the run payload, the progress file and both test
suites.
Stars and the animal ladder already say how a run went, so nothing is lost.

A first pass over an unanalysed library is hours of librosa, and there was no
reason for a desktop to spend them one core at a time. Analysis now runs in a
process pool sized by `general.library.analysis_workers`, defaulting to one per
core bar one (capped at 8) when the key is absent.
Two consequences worth knowing before touching this: whatever an `Analyzer`
returns has to be picklable, and an analyzer that keeps state on its own
instance - a test double counting calls - only behaves as written with
`analysis_workers=1`.

Letters-round lessons only had bubbles and jellyfish as eligible arcade
modes; with jellyfish gone, bubbles is now always used instead of the
two alternating - no lessons need to be dropped.

Setting color explicitly wasn't enough: the 🎵 emoji has its own
baked-in colour (a muted grey-blue on at least one real platform) and
simply ignores the CSS color property, unlike a plain Unicode symbol.
Swapped to the bare eighth-note character (♪), which renders as text
and finally responds to the color already set on the button.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The glass-bar redesign dropped the explicit icon color, so inactive
icons fell back to the browser's default text color - fine for icons
that render as full-color emoji, but the music note apparently renders
as a plain glyph on at least one platform, making it nearly invisible
against the bar's near-white glass background. Set it explicitly.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The three tab buttons now share one frosted glass pill instead of each
floating separately, and BrowseView/RoomView reserve TAB_RAIL_CLEARANCE
of right-side padding so a full-width row or grid never renders under
it - verified against the real library, where dense rows (e.g. Conni's
82 audiobooks) previously butted right up against the rail.
Also gitignore the real (non-.example) tippen-curriculum.yml and
tippen-progress.json, matching config.yml's own privacy treatment,
since the curriculum now contains real reward paths into a personal
library.

Verified the whole reward-lock feature against a real library with an
actual browser (Playwright + headless Chromium): the album-grid cards
already showed the question-mark placeholder for a locked album, but
its 2x2 preview thumbnail in the category-tile view (the screen before
drilling into an artist/category) still rendered the real cover art,
since that Cover call never received the locked prop.

Moves tippen from a standalone app into web/ as a third tab (audio player /
smarthome / typing), replacing the old single room-toggle corner button with a
vertical icon tab rail. Curriculum and progress now come from the backend
(musicmouse/tippen/*) instead of a build-time YAML import and localStorage.
Adds reward-driven lock rendering: Cover/BrowseView/AlbumModal show a question
mark for locked albums/tracks with a hint on what unlocks them, and
ResultSheet gets a new unlock-animation block alongside the existing
lesson-unlock and aquarium-creature celebrations.
CSS from the two apps is merged carefully: identical rules (bubble/card/
key-cap/view-enter/backdrop-enter and their keyframes) are shared as-is,
while rules that bake in each app's own hue are kept separate under a
`tp-` prefix and scoped to the typing tab's own .tp-stage wrapper, so
neither app's look bleeds into the other's.

Moves the typing app's lesson plan and progress from client-side YAML/localStorage
into the backend, and adds a reward system that ties passing a lesson to unlocking
part of the music library. Lock state is always recomputed live from curriculum x
progress x the live library, never persisted separately.

- Rename all German identifiers, types, mode ids, file names, CSS classes
and data-attributes to English throughout tippen/src; only user-facing
text (lesson titles, word lists, labels, spoken praise) stays German.
- Add a word/nonsense-word list to the "Übung: die Grundstellung" home-row
lesson in the curriculum.
- Remove the unused HandHint component and speech.ts, and carry forward
the in-progress App.tsx/component/generator/progress edits from other
sessions.
- Refresh the regenerated music-library cache index.

_extract_audio wrote transcoded audio to a .tmp temp path, so ffmpeg
couldn't guess a muxer from the filename and aborted on every video
episode whose source was still reachable. Pass -f mp3 explicitly instead
of relying on the extension.
Separately, a permanently 404'd episode was retried on every startup and
every 6-hour poll forever, since nothing remembered past failures. Track
failed downloads per show folder with a 7-day backoff before retrying.

Space was hard-coded as the global play/pause toggle, so it never reached
the search-typing logic - typing "geolino azte" would toggle playback
instead of adding the space. Now a space is appended to an in-progress
search instead.
Search also required the whole query to be one contiguous substring of
title + artist, which misses queries like "conni rad" for "Conni lernt
Rad fahren" or "geolino azte" for a podcast episode titled "Azteken" by
"GEOlino Spezial" (title comes before artist). Each word is now matched
independently, in any order.

Ctrl+h/j/k/l move the highlight in whatever list is on screen - the browse
grid, search results, or an open album's track list - the same job the
arrow keys already do, just reachable without leaving the home row.
Ctrl+d/u add vim's own half-page jump. Shift+h/j/k/l/m are transport
(previous/next, volume, mute) from anywhere, including the room page,
matching the muscle memory of other vim-ish media apps; every other
Shift+letter still reaches search untouched; only the shifted letter
form of those five keys is intercepted.
Shift+Enter opens an album's track list (the keyboard equivalent of
clicking its cover, which had no key of its own until now) instead of
playing it outright; Ctrl+j/k then move a visible highlight through that
list, and Enter plays whichever track is highlighted. Falls back to plain
ENTER's behaviour for a category tile or a podcast episode, neither of
which has a track list to show.
Mute (Shift+M) is new - nothing was bound to it before.

- Replace the "Mein Zimmer"/"Musik" text pills and the help button with
two fixed circular corner buttons: a music/room toggle (top-right)
and a single "back one level" button (top-left) used everywhere -
search, categories, and the play view.
- Split `view` (browse/play) from a new `page` (music/room) in UiState
so toggling to the room and back leaves the music side - search,
selection, even the full-screen play view - exactly as it was.
- Back peels one step at a time (search, then track-search mode, then
group+category together, since a root shelf tile sets both at once
and undoing that jump should be one step too).
- Album cards: click the cover to open the track list, click the title
to start playing immediately (matching what Enter already did from
the keyboard). Audiobook cards drop the artist line and clamp the
title to a fixed height so covers stay aligned across a row.
- Root shelf group headings ("Musik", "Hörbücher", "Podcasts") are now
the link into that group's full category grid, replacing the
separate search-icon button.
- "Taste zuweisen" is now an icon-only round button, moved to the
bottom-right so it doesn't sit under the new toggle.

- podcast_feeds.py: fetch per-episode cover art from a feed's itunes:image
(when it's genuinely distinct from the channel image) or, failing that,
from the og:image on the episode's own linked page; extract audio from
video-only enclosures via ffmpeg; match podcast-dl's filename convention
(illegal characters become "_" instead of being dropped) so enabling
feed.txt on an already-downloaded show doesn't re-download its back catalog
- scanner.py: _cover_for_episode now checks for a same-stem sidecar cover
image before falling back to embedded ID3 art and the shared folder cover
- scanner.py/__init__.py: fixed a bug where an album folder nested one level
deeper than usual (an age-range grouping folder, say) was mistaken for an
empty album and skipped; added periodic progress logging for long scans
and analysis passes

Adds a TCP client for lircd's classic protocol: play/pause/next/prev/
volume/mute map to the same intents every other front-end already
emits, and number keys 0-9 play an assigned album/audiobook from the
start or a podcast show's newest episode, resolved fresh on every
press. The mapping is configured in config.yml and editable from the
frontend: a small "Taste zuweisen" button on the play screen (or the
A+digit keyboard shortcut) opens a 10-key picker to assign whatever is
currently playing.

A show folder under Kinderpodcasts/ opts in by containing a feed.txt marker
naming its RSS feed. A new PodcastFeedService polls every such feed every 6
hours (and once at startup), downloads any episode not already on disk using
the existing YYYYMMDD - Title.ext convention, and triggers the same
rescan-and-broadcast sequence "Bibliothek neu einlesen" already uses - now
shared via App.rescan_library() instead of duplicated. A show with no
feed.txt is untouched, so there is no new config section for this.

The background worker now runs a real librosa analyzer (tempo, beat grid,
per-second energy/valence curves) instead of only the null baseline, kept
behind build_analyzer() so a plain checkout without the analysis extra still
runs fine. The web player reads that per-track analysis and drives a new
animated "Ambience" background (bubbles, colour, current) that reacts to the
beat and the mood curve as the track plays, plus a debug overlay for tuning
it. Also adds a one-off script to backfill podcast cover art from iTunes.
Implements the room-control page from the design mockup: a scenes row above cards
for shutters, color lamps, and brightness-only lamps, all driven by a new
`general.ha` config section (server URL, token, ordered device/scene lists).
The backend proxies every Home Assistant call server-side (GET/POST /api/ha/...)
rather than the browser calling Home Assistant directly, so the long-lived token
never leaves the LAN device and Home Assistant's own CORS settings don't need to
know about musicmouse at all. Card kind (shutter/color/brightness-only) is
inferred at runtime from what Home Assistant reports about each entity, not
configured explicitly.
Also stops tracking python-backend/config.yml, which had drifted into the repo
despite its own header saying it shouldn't be - it now carries real credentials
locally and needs to stay untracked.
