# Build b1220 v0.1.0-b1220

This build is about reacting to what's playing. Songs go tri-state — love one, or tell Kapell to suggest less — and the choice you just made always wins the race against a slower read. Add a faster Home card and a fistful of fixes, and that's b1220.

ADDED 4 changes

- +
    
    Songs are tri-state now
    
    Beyond a favorite, you can tell Kapell to suggest less of a track — a real dislike, not just the absence of a like.
    
- +
    
    Track-actions menus
    
    On the album sleeve and on every track row. Play next drops a song in right after what's playing, and Suggest less is one click away.
    
- +
    
    Suggest less, from the chin
    
    A Suggest less button now sits in the now-playing chin, so you can react to the current track without leaving where you are.
    
- +
    
    Favorited at a glance
    
    Album track rows show a favorited indicator, so you can see what you've already starred without opening a thing.
    

CHANGED 3 changes

- The "Just play something" card resolves faster and more gracefully: its station is cached, a skeleton placeholder holds the space while it loads, and the cover art plays on hover.
    
- That card is lifted off the gradient and its corners rounded a notch, for a cleaner read.
    
- Enrichment and MusicBrainz probes now live behind a Diagnostics preference instead of running all the time — quieter by default, still there on the readout when you want to watch.
    

FIXED 5 changes

- ✓
    
    Favorites no longer get wiped by a stale rating read arriving after a fresh one.
    
- ✓
    
    The now-playing row lights correctly for station-sourced songs.
    
- ✓
    
    ⌘← / ⌘→ line navigation stays inside the search box instead of jumping away.
    
- ✓
    
    Side-scroll chevrons are stable, and now appear on the discography shelf too.
    
- ✓
    
    A standardized Presets header, and crate cards that hold equal height.
