# Build b1259 v0.1.0-b1259

This build is about crate cleanup. Crate "doneness" is now a user decision. The radio station panel gets a single clean hero, the album tracklist stops jumping as credits load, and that's b1259.

ADDED 2 changes

    Finishing a crate is your call
    
    Playing a crate to the end no longer auto-marks it done — it rests in In progress until you say so. Mark it done from Crate settings. Changed your mind? Clear done, any time.
    
- +
    
    Crate settings, rebuilt
    
    A more flesh-out, sectioned surface for the controls that shape a crate: a Mark crate done switch, the Affect Apple recommendations toggle, and Reset playhead — now a deliberate read-then-act control instead of an easy-to-hit on-screen button.
    

CHANGED 5 changes

- Making a crate now drops you straight into the new crate so you can add records — an empty crate stays honest, with just an add-records prompt and no progress meter.
    
- The burn-down gauge is gone, replaced by a quieter two-tier progress block — the played count over a PLAYED · time-left caption — with a stronger playhead divider marking exactly where you are.
    
- Earlier tracks now fold into the list itself, behind a chevron hairline row, instead of floating in a pill.
    
- The crate action bar is leaner — Play/Resume, Crate settings, Edit — and Home now hides completed crates, which live in the browse Completed group.
    
- The now-playing radio station panel is rebuilt as a single hero: one big cover shown once, the station name as context, and a flat On now → Up next column instead of a doubled cover and a stack of hairlines.
    

FIXED 5 changes

- ✓
    
    The album tracklist no longer reflows as enrichment lands — rows reserve the credits line, so credits fade in place instead of shoving the whole list down on arrival.
    
- ✓
    
    Album rows clear the scroller gutter, so the trailing duration and ⋯ menu no longer sit under the scrollbar until you scroll.
    
- ✓
    
    The playing-row highlight stays a contained pill at the top and bottom of the tracklist instead of kissing the rules and reading as broken.
    
- ✓
    
    The album enrichment cue is decluttered — one rule instead of two, and the "read the album sleeve" jump is now a quiet inline link.
    
- ✓
    
    The TRACK | ALBUM toggle in the now-playing sleeve uses the whole button as the click target, so it's no longer fiddly.
