Current Reborn state on the Y2

1.0.0-beta.9.3.16 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.3.16 (Baseline 224), 2026-11-06: steady Bluetooth (published)

Published as baseline-224 (Reborn ceb4824; work 0ed544c, d4298f2, contract e209e30). A playing Bluetooth PCM is never left to run dry (F69, Y2Linux #96, Y2Reborn #99): SinkWorker::bridge tops a Bluetooth sink up to BRIDGE_MS 100 ms of silence whenever no music is written, also while it is the kept sink between two streams (Playing::idle_wait 10 ms, receive does not wait without a sink); a Bluetooth song end is drained once its music is written (no drain to empty); BlueALSA PCMs open with 8 × 1024 frames (rb_sink_open, wired 8 × 512). A Bluetooth pause holds in place (no device pause, silence) and Runtime::hold_limit releases it after BLUETOOTH_HOLD_LIMIT 3 s. AlsaSink::plan_bluetooth builds the spec from the observed transport without opening the PCM. Metric bluetooth_xruns. decode.rs settle: a song's artwork, media state and the next song's preopen wait until ≥ 250 ms of its audio is queued (or its end). Click stream 2048 frames. Tests playback/stream_continuity_tests.rs (real-time fake sink counting underruns). Y2Linux side: BlueALSA 0005/0007/0008 dropped, SBC/AAC fixed rate by default (Beta 9.3.16 report).

1.0.0-beta.9.3.7 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.3.7 (Baseline 215), 2026-11-03: Bluetooth as a client of the radio daemon (published)

Published as baseline-215 (Reborn 8fc6f69); test builds 9.3–9.3.6 were never published. No Reborn code change after 9.3.4: the 9.3.5–9.3.7 fixes (AirPods' own AAC configuration, set-up without resolved services, waiting for the codec list) are in Y2Linux's BlueALSA patch 0006 and y2-radiod. Known: a pause longer than ≈20 s drops the link once (Y2Linux Beta 9.3.7 report).

1.0.0-beta.9.3.4 — test build 212, 2026-11-03 (on the developer's player, not published): Bluetooth as a client of the radio daemon

The D-Bus worker (bluetooth.rs + bluetooth/worker.rs), CodecReconnect, busy retries, intents and PCM locks are gone: reborn-platform/src/bluetooth.rs is a client of Y2Linux's y2-radiod (/run/y2/radiod.sock, y2p_contract::radiod); its Status is built only from the daemon's state, a connected headset still being set up is settling and not playable, the sink takes a StreamLease around BlueALSA's PCM. The codec choice is always accepted (applied when headphones connect or the stream stops); codec quality applies without a restart. Settings > Bluetooth > a saved device: Connect Automatically (#78). #92: a rolled-back output change keeps the whole library (runtime::audio::keep_live_parts); a status without the adapter is no lost peer. Wi-Fi's switch asks the daemon. AVRCP answers only calls that want an answer.

1.0.0-beta.9.2.16 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.16 (Baseline 207), 2026-11-02: steadier Bluetooth codecs

Published as baseline-207 (Reborn 8667100; sequence 13200). #87 (Sony WH-1000XM4 crackled on AAC 320 kbit/s with Wi-Fi on; the saved LDAC never applied). 854a727: a codec request refused because playback holds the PCM ("Release the Bluetooth PCM…", "Bluetooth PCM still open…", codec_pcm_held) is handed to the app as Status::codec_deferred {address, seq} (kept across worker refreshes); CodecReconnect re-arms the attempt once per new seq, at most three times per connection (reset on reconnect and when a restarted worker counts from 1), so the choice is asked again at the next pause or stop. 7e9acd8: Auto ranks AAC, aptX, then SBC; LDAC and aptX HD only when chosen (not even after being negotiated last); the Wi-Fi-heavy-transfer exclusion went with them. The platform side (AAC standard / LDAC mobile defaults, the Wi-Fi codec ceiling in BlueALSA) is in Y2Linux. Not yet tried on a player.

1.0.0-beta.9.2.15 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.15 (Baseline 206), 2026-11-01: Settings count

Published as baseline-206 (Reborn 5745736; sequence 13100). #85 (PR #86 by mrtngamper, squashed as 97e46a8): pages::settings and pages::library count the tracks they are given. They read m.library.tracks, which the render's normalize and Ui::model_action borrow out of the model, so Ui::library_counts (one slot keyed by library_stamp) alternated between the empty borrow and the real list and recounted every track each frame (72 000 songs: ≈19.5 ms per frame on a PC, under 0.5 ms for every screen with the fix). 224f4f9 restores the test name a_playlist_moves_to_another_place_in_the_playlists_list. No other reborn-ui code reads m.library.tracks.

1.0.0-beta.9.2.14 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.14 (Baseline 205), 2026-11-01: Bluetooth sink kept

Published as baseline-205 (Reborn 786eccb; sequence 13000). F61 (3435238, report c0fe2638): quick radio station changes closed and reopened BlueALSA's PCM twice per station (the plan's probe, then the open), each a transport release and a new AVDTP Start; earbuds that answered in up to 6 s hit BlueZ's timeout and the link ended locally. keep_sink now keeps any output; sink_change compares the wired epoch only for the jack; the next start takes the kept Bluetooth spec through keeps_bluetooth_sink while validate_bluetooth_observation accepts the live BluetoothPcm (same transport generation, codec, rate, format); idle wheel clicks play only in a wired kept sink; a Bluetooth pause still sends Stop (F43). On the owner's player: six skips 2.5 s apart on AirPods Pro, each sink_reused, heard. .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE issue forms (c3277e2), blank issues off.

1.0.0-beta.9.2.13 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.13 (Baseline 204), 2026-11-01: search song, resume, letters

Published as baseline-204 (Reborn 69d8e37; sequence 12900). #79 (76edbe8): a song picked in search plays alone (one-member PlayCollection, source kept); Play All plays every song found. #80 (9d2c2ae): native/seek_index.c keeps a closing decoder's sparse generic index (4 files, ≤2048 points, spans ≥120 s, keyed by dev/inode/size/mtime) and restores it before the next decoder's first seek, so MP3 (no fast seek) and ADTS AAC no longer read from the start on each resume; memory only. 56405af: the Bluetooth worker logs BlueZ's Device1.Disconnected as peer_disconnected {address, reason, bluez_reason, message} (seen on the owner's player). Y2Linux #64 (141a9ff): LETTER_SCROLL_STEPS 4 → 3. Owed on a player: resume time after sleep, letter-scroll feel.

1.0.0-beta.9.2.12 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.12 (Baseline 203), 2026-11-01: light skins' greys

Published as baseline-203 (Reborn 4a052b3; sequence 12800). #76: skin::remap's table still had the pre-9.2.3 greys (#A0A4AE, #848894), so the brighter MUTED/DIM stayed unmapped and pale on light skins; it now takes color::MUTED and color::DIM from the theme. The platform's Bluetooth-off fix needs nothing from Reborn.

1.0.0-beta.9.2.11 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.11 (Baseline 202), 2026-10-31: radio icons only while connected

Published as baseline-202 (Reborn 9cd6368; sequence 12700). Y2Linux #73 follow-up: the status bar (components/status.rs) and skins' indicators show Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only while connected; Flag::WifiConnected needs the radio on; the indicators' dim colour is accepted and checked, unused.

1.0.0-beta.9.2.10 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.10 (Baseline 201), 2026-10-31: settings tree, list scrolling

Published as baseline-201 (Reborn 530f3ae; sequence 12600; includes test build 200 = 9.2.9). Settings: eight places (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Sound, Display, Skin, Customize, Library, System); customize.rs (Customize's pages browsing/wheel, pickers choose:<setting>, hints), pages::sub_page, system_menu (Screen::Update; Software Update = filter software), library (Screen::SettingsLibrary), Playback under Sound; the map and the placement rule: REBORN-SETTINGS-MAP.md. Lists: settings rows on the screen with group_window, glide and rail (#74), Music MUSIC_ROWS window, Sound glides; Cover Flow's artist without the year (#73).

1.0.0-beta.9.2.8 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.8 (Baseline 199), 2026-10-31: platform Wi-Fi diagnostics only

Published as baseline-199 (Reborn a39176e; sequence 12400). No Reborn change besides the version and the re-recorded platform contract: network.json supplicant_events gains rejects (Y2Linux #83).

1.0.0-beta.9.2.7 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.7 (Baseline 198), 2026-10-31: wheel clicks whenever no music plays

Published as baseline-198 (Reborn 38946ea; sequence 12300). Runtime::wheel_click sends the wired plan (click_spec, planned once) unless a pause holds the output on the right route (a hold on the other route is released); the sink thread's click_while_idle plays in the kept wired sink or opens one (keep_for_clicks) and keeps it CLICK_KEEP 10 s (KeptSink::until); a start reuses it via the switch. A sleep request closes a kept sink. Crackle fixed: no rewind of queued silence (AudioSink::rewind gone), ≈ 1536 frames queued. Click level from the live volume.

1.0.0-beta.9.2.6 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.6 (Baseline 197), 2026-10-31: wheel click while paused

Published as baseline-197 (Reborn dc335e8; sequence 12200). #77: the wired codec has no device pause, so a held stream is drained to SETUP and 9.2.4's clicks failed ALSA -77. click_while_held now waits for the paused music to play out, prepares the stream (pause(false)), clicks over silence and stops it 1 s after the last click; no click while music plays (the rewind-and-replay Tail/joined removed). WheelClick Off/On, On serialized as 9.2.4's when_paused, always read as On.

1.0.0-beta.9.2.5 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.5 (Baseline 196), 2026-10-31: platform Wi-Fi fix only

Published as baseline-196 (Reborn f45f6bc; sequence 12100). No Reborn change besides the version: the platform now switches Wi-Fi off and on when scans keep missing the saved network after a wake (F60, Y2Linux #83). Reborn shows Wi-Fi Off for a moment then; its Wi-Fi preference (/data/network/enabled) is untouched.

1.0.0-beta.9.2.4 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.4 (Baseline 195), 2026-10-31: own orders, wheel click

Published as baseline-195 (Reborn 8ecff51; sequence 12000). Home order under Customize > Home Menu and playlist order through the playlist menu's Move (#53, #33): settings home_order/playlist_order, reborn-core home.rs, reborn-ui reorder.rs (Carry, mode_input). Customize > Wheel Click Off/When Paused/Always (#67): WheelClick, Playback::click; the sink thread mixes a 4 ms tick into the wired sink only (never Bluetooth, only with a sink open), taking back unplayed frames (AudioSink::rewind, rb_sink_rewind) and writing them again from playback/click.rs Tail; held, it plays the tick over silence and pauses again 1 s later. Cover Flow text travels with its cover (#71, flow::centre_x). Details: Y2Linux docs/validation/Y2-LINUX-1.0-BETA-9.2.4.md.

1.0.0-beta.9.2.3 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.3 (Baseline 194), 2026-10-31: album years, defaults from the issues

Published as baseline-194 (Reborn 9a50d47; sequence 11900). Track.year from the date tag (additive column, METADATA_REVISION 5, AlbumTotal, year_key): an artist's albums oldest first, years in album rows and lines (#66). Other Network… for hidden Wi-Fi (Purpose::WifiName, hidden → scan_ssid 1, #61). Cover Flow's position in the status bar, skins' {position} (#70). Skins number album songs (numbered, {track_number} in rows; Y2Linux #75). MUTED/DIM a step brighter (#59). send_wifi, library has_column. Details: Y2Linux Beta 9.2.3 report.

1.0.0-beta.9.2.2 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2.2 (Baseline 193), 2026-10-31: status icons in skins, GitHub requests

Published as baseline-193 (Reborn 29aa1cc; sequence 11800). Skins: element indicators (charging, computer, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi; right to left, closing up) in every shipped skin (build_skins.py add_status), variable {date} (Y2Linux #70 #73). A 12-hour clock says AM/PM: one clock::clock_text and date_text, made once a minute (#72). Brightness: Select on the card, then the wheel in 5 % steps from 5 % (BRIGHTNESS_MIN, Ui::brightness_input, #74). Fast scroll's letter mode from 4 suggested steps (#64). Equalizer files up to 20 filters (MAX_BANDS, RbDspConfig 680 bytes, #76). The status bar lives in components/status.rs. Details: Y2Linux Beta 9.2.2 report.

1.0.0-beta.9.2 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.2 (Baseline 191), 2026-10-31: sleep and wake fix in the platform

Published as baseline-191 (Reborn f445483; sequence 11600). The fix is in the platform (the sleep helper's radio quiesce, bluetooth-power); Reborn carries the work since Beta 9.1 below and the version. Details: Y2Linux Beta 9.2 report.

Since Beta 9.1 (Y2Linux test build 190, 2026-10-31)

effect_inner is an exhaustive table (921 → 299 lines): the 29 longer cases are on_<effect> methods in runtime/effects/ (platform, sound, queue, radios, system). The Bluetooth thread is BluetoothWorker (bluetooth/worker.rs): run reconnects, session serves one D-Bus connection, open sets it up and pass runs seven steps (wait, completions, refresh, discovery, pairing, commands, publish; command carries one out). The screen dispatch exists once (native_screen), which gives a skin without a Music layout the Music menu again instead of the system page. Code is written to Y2Linux's coding standard (see AGENTS.md).

1.0.0-beta.9.1 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.1 (Baseline 189), 2026-10-30 : the platform's types, smaller files

Published as baseline-189 (Reborn e309b49; sequence 11500). Reborn reads the platform's records in the platform's own types from y2p-contract instead of looking up JSON fields: the update page (update::Status, the live DownloadProgress), the battery and shutdown intent (power::PowerRecord, Intent), Wi-Fi readiness (network::Published), the SD and Y2Media claims (storage::MediaRecord, Y2MediaClaim), the USB receipt (usb::Receipt), report progress (reports::ReportProgress), Internal Storage setup and the radio firmware (f64d454…f1637ca). The recorded contract is unchanged except for download_percent, which download.json never filled; the Settings row now shows the live download percentage instead. Split without a code change (the same tests run): main.rs 8,268 → 947 lines (runtime/, main_loop.rs, main_tests/; e6eb756), playback.rs 3,725 → 1,565 (playback/; 4c94818), reborn-ui/src/lib.rs 4,493 → 1,069 (80c76ce). The main loop is MainLoop::pass in 17 sections with shut_down and Watchdog (c2691b1, fecf263); the audio threads are DecodeWorker (run, play, crossfade) and SinkWorker (seven sections) (a3c7c90, 9746b91). 748 workspace tests. Details: Y2Linux Beta 9.1 report.

1.0.0-beta.9.0 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 9.0 (Baseline 186), 2026-10-30: the platform in Rust

Published as baseline-186 (Reborn 2bc1e2c; sequence 11400). The platform underneath is Rust now; Reborn reads it through the shared y2p-contract crate, and its contract test (crates/reborn-platform/tests) runs every platform golden through Reborn's own parsers. Reborn itself: a quieter dark idle (main loop and watchdog every 5 s instead of 1 s while dark and quiet, observations every 10 s; 639049b), automatic sleep waits while the battery shows a cable after a charger_or_usb_active refusal (764b024, 68af9ac), metrics answered by the control thread (7afa346), "An update check is already running" for update_in_progress (9859348). 738 workspace tests. Details: Y2Linux Beta 9.0 report.

1.0.0-beta.8.43 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.43 (Baseline 164), 2026-10-28: issue fixes

Published as baseline-164 (Reborn a08ca5d, fixes 2eada03; sequence 11000). #51: Cancel and a held Back leave Search to the screen it was opened from (the router remembers the Back press; the keyboard's dead Leave path is gone). #45/#46: albums::unify_album_artists on the library thread gives songs without Album Artist the album's single one (same storage, folder, title); Track::own_album_artist keeps the tag for Last.fm. #52/#55: Settings::home_hidden (Customize › Home Menu lists every place). #60/#25: QueueOrigin; Go to Album becomes Go to Playlist/Folder/Search/ Genre/Songs. #57: skin remap recolours warp corners. #56: AlbumOrder (Customize › Album Order). #30: letter steps while the fast-scroll letter shows (FAST_SCROLL_LINGER 700 ms). #62: unplug toast. #28: ticks on a computer connecting and on held seeks (SEEK_TICK_GAP 300 ms). Details: Y2Linux Beta 8.43 report.

1.0.0-beta.8.42 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.42 (Baseline 163), 2026-10-28: sleep, quick scan, report fixes

Published as baseline-163 (Reborn 25b8e06; sequence 10900). From the 2026-10-28 review of 40 error reports: after a Bluetooth loss (a sleep turns Bluetooth off, a link drops) Play with nothing in the jack waits up to 20 s for those headphones instead of the jack or the speaker (LostPeer, 3a4860b); only the platform's credential reasons mean a wrong Wi-Fi password, ap_unavailable is Network Not Found (3a4860b); a Power key still held after a wake starts a hold (EVIOCGKEY, 13f03d0); a screen-off refused with EACCES before Reborn set a mode counts as done (25b8e06). Details: Y2Linux Beta 8.42 report.

Sleep (Y2Linux F47/F48): Power turns the screen off at once, as stock, and no longer opens the Sleep page; a press that wakes the player during the preparation returns where it was; a refused sleep keeps the screen dark (57b47b2, 9ee61f0; test build 160 on the owner's player).

Quick scan (c2ef3af, report d32f8f3c: 62–70 s per restart to list 70 500 files on exFAT). ScanMode Rebuild / Walk / Quick in reborn-library. The automatic scans (Scanner::scan: start, storage change, after a USB copy) are Quick: a folder whose modification time is unchanged since the last complete walk is not read again while the storage's free space equals the free space then (quick_fingerprint: exFAT or ext4 from mountinfo, FAT32 always walked whole because other systems leave its free count stale). Skipped folders keep their songs, counts, playlists and subfolders from the additive tables scan_folders / scan_volumes (written only after a complete verified walk, with METADATA_REVISION); their rows count as seen, so deleted files are still pruned. Scan for Music and the control scan command are Scanner::scan_all (every folder). A tag edit made on a computer that changes neither a folder's time nor the free space shows after Scan for Music. scan_completed gains quick and folders_skipped. Tests quick_scan_tests; workspace tests, strict Clippy and fmt pass. Device timing owed.

1.0.0-beta.8.41 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.41 (Baseline 159), 2026-10-27: internal speaker, haptics

Published as baseline-159 (Reborn 1358702; sequence 10700). The Headphone Jack output plays on the internal speaker while the kernel reads the jack empty (Settings > Sound > Output > Speaker, on by default): reborn_platform::jack (the card's "Y2Audio Headphone" SW events, the DAC on either I2C bus), SinkSpec.speaker and native route 2 (Speaker pin, Master −3 dB), VolumeRamp::mono ((L+R)/2: the DAC's speaker route plays the left slot). Headphones in move a playing speaker to them, headphones out pause; jack changes run as model actions (test build 157 hung at "Starting" without). Haptics (#28): Customize > Haptics Off/Light/Strong, reborn_platform::haptics::Motor, one 60 ms tick per button press as stock. rebornctl jack [in|out] for device tests. Details: Y2Linux Beta 8.41 report.

1.0.0-beta.8.40 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.40 (Baseline 154), 2026-10-27: identity only

Published as baseline-154 (Reborn 77c54e2; sequence 10500). No Reborn change: the release is a kernel fix (Power Off on a charger restarts into the charging screen, ledger F46). Details: Y2Linux Beta 8.40 report.

1.0.0-beta.8.39 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.39 (Baseline 153), 2026-10-26: Folders by file name, Shuffle Albums, playlist Sort, 120 000 songs

Published as baseline-153 (Reborn 7cf527d; features 894a99c; sequence 10470). Folders list folders then songs by name (sort::natural_key), songs by file name (catalog::Row::FolderTrack), from folders::FolderIndex (per library: each folder's songs, folders, song count); a song plays its folder in that order, a folder's Play goes folders first (FolderIndex::play_order). ShuffleMode Off/Songs/Albums (settings.shuffle + shuffle_albums, queue::album_shuffle, shuffle_source_albums; skins shuffle_albums). PlaylistSort per playlist (settings.playlist_sort, Ui::shown_order). For 120 000 songs: whole-library lists kept per library, album totals, Ui::prewarm while the screen is off, playlists from the scan (ScanMetrics::playlists, worker Job::Known, cache/playlists.json), search folds names once; metrics ui_action_ms, ui_layout_ms. Device numbers: Y2Linux Beta 8.39 report.

1.0.0-beta.8.38 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.38 (Baseline 146), 2026-10-25: Bluetooth pause, live wave

Published as baseline-146 (Reborn 6c37d9f; F43 990443f; sequence 10310). On Bluetooth, Runtime::pause releases the sink and Play reopens at the position (BlueALSA in-place resumes stayed silent with AirPods Pro 2, ledger F43). The playing wave (components::wave_progress) is an anti-aliased ribbon whose height and ripple follow Levels (bass, mids, highs) measured in the audio thread before the volume (app/reborn/src/meter.rs, timed by the sink delay; Playback::heard, Ui::set_heard, smoothed by Ui::wave_levels); Home's card shows it too.

1.0.0-beta.8.37 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.37 (Baseline 144), 2026-10-25: sleep timer, search, scrolling

Published as baseline-144 (Reborn 69232c2, sequence 10200). Sleep timer picker (Modal::SleepTimer, SLEEP_MINUTES 5 min to 3 h, minutes_label; skins {sleep}, "if": "sleep", icon moon, every shipped skin's output line), search (#44: keyboard::Outcome::Leave, empty start, Catalog::playlists, sections of SECTION_PREVIEW with search_all:<section>, Catalog::search_songs), the playlist page's focus, and one way of scrolling: headers stay, only lists scroll (Product UI v4, last sections). Device-checked on the owner's player.

1.0.0-beta.8.36 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.36 (Baseline 138), 2026-10-25: issue fixes, one menu order

Published as baseline-138 (Reborn 92b9c9a; fixes d340263, redesign 92b9c9a; sequence 10050). Fixes from the GitHub issues: art_key gives a song without an album its own cover (#43); skins mark Up Next's playing row by queue entry (Ui::entry_key, #60); keep_up_next_focus keeps the focused song when rows move, the fallback is the nearest selectable row (#32); split_genres/Track::genres and joined_names ("A, B") for joined tags (#40). Owner's menu rules (spec: Product UI v4, last section): one order in every song and collection menu (test every_menu_lists_its_shared_actions_in_one_order), Up Next Add to Queue (entries_last, Effect::QueueEntriesLast), Save Up Next as Playlist… / Clear Queue / Clear Up Next on the song playing, Play and Shuffle for playlists; Customize: Cover Flow On/Off (albums and audiobooks), Artists All / Album Artists (albumartist: filter, album_artist_of), Now Playing Wheel Volume / Seek (NowPlayingWheel); album filters carry a genre (album_parts) with Show All N Songs; sheet values and skins' {detail} use the room their label leaves (Scene::label_end). Device-checked on the owner's player.

1.0.0-beta.8.35 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.35 (Baseline 136), 2026-10-25: louder headphones, safe by default

Published as baseline-136 (Reborn e0921a0, change 5a40103, sequence 9902). Report F45 (FiiO FH7 too quiet at High): each HpLevel has its own DAC Master (master_db: Low −9, Medium −6, High 0 dB → ≈0.35/0.71/1.73 Vrms at volume 100; Beta 8.5–8.34 held −19.5 dB for all), set by the C sink (rb_wired_masters) for the level the amplifier really runs at, −24 dB until then. The volume is even in dB (volume_db: 0.6 dB a step from 10, 3 dB below, −81 dB at 1). Safe level SAFE_PEAK_DBV = the old loudest output (−14.7 dBV; safe volume 90/80/67): wired volume up stops there and opens ConfirmAction::LoudVolume; Settings::loud_ok lapses after LOUD_LISTENING_LIMIT_S (20 h) above it. prepare_wired_start moves an old-scale volume once (volume_scale), gives the wired volume back and caps the start; a return from Bluetooth is capped too; a level change keeps the loudness (volume_for_level). Device-checked on the owner's player (migration, Master per level, warning); output not measured with a meter.

1.0.0-beta.8.34 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.34 (Baseline 135), 2026-10-24: MTP fix in the platform

Published as baseline-135 (Reborn 01f1ed3, identity only, sequence 9802). The fix is Y2Linux's (#61: MTP no longer hangs when a computer connects); Reborn is unchanged since 8.33.

1.0.0-beta.8.33 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.33 (Baseline 134), 2026-10-24: search page and queue redesign

Published as baseline-134 (Reborn eca7f49, sequence 9702; 8.32 was never published), installed on the owner's player first. Search is one page with the keys over it: first results above the keys, Up/wheel/Search fold the keys into the results (Artists, Albums, Audiobooks, Songs under headings, Play All), the field brings them back. Queue (reborn_core::queue): your queued songs play first (Add to Queue before the rest, Play Next on top), queue edits, Shuffle and Repeat no longer restart the song (Playback::set_upcoming), Repeat All wraps on Next, Previous restarts the first song, Shuffle on/off reshuffles or restores what plays. Up Next opens on the song playing with a 50-song history above, QUEUE / NEXT FROM headings, Move with the wheel, Select Songs (also Songs, albums, search), queue actions for albums/artists/genres/folders/search, a NEXT line on Now Playing. Session schema 3 (queue by reference). rebornctl action NAME for device tests of hold menus. Also #38 (artists of joined tags). Design: last two sections of Product UI v4.

1.0.0-beta.8.31 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.31 (Baseline 130), 2026-10-24: left/right balance

Published as baseline-130 (Reborn b12a1ee + identity b07cb9d, sequence 9500), installed on the owner's player first. Settings → Sound → Balance (user request: one ear hears less): settings.balance -10..=10 dB (negative = left louder), applied per channel at the live sink gain (VolumeRamp::balance) by lowering the other side, so it never clips; jack and Bluetooth, live. The list opens on the current value; the Sound page drops its first row once the focus reaches Balance. Previews 29d, 29e.

1.0.0-beta.8.30 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.30 (Baseline 129), 2026-10-24: GitHub triage fixes

Published as baseline-129 (Reborn 20a493b + seek fix 44481c3, sequence 9401), installed on the owner's player first. Music queues never include audiobook parts (track_matches requires is_music, play_index too; Y2Linux #58); a song picked on Songs is followed by the next row (filtered_indices uses the catalog for Songs; #21); Previous more than 3 s into a song restarts it (#21), and a pending seek ignores late position reports (the restart kept playing on in the device test); headphones with AVRCP absolute volume follow settings.volume through BlueZ's transport Volume with the software level at full, changes on the headphones come back, wired_volume keeps the wired level and the first takeover never gets louder (#22, not run with real headphones); a toast too long for one line takes two (16 were cut, Y2Linux #55). Preview 44b.

1.0.0-beta.8.29 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.29 (Baseline 128), 2026-10-24: charging fix (platform only)

Published as baseline-128 (identity e58980c, sequence 9300). No Reborn code change: the release fixes charging on players whose PMIC has no die calibration fuse (Y2Linux kernel, report 09888d70).

1.0.0-beta.8.28 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.28 (Baseline 127), 2026-10-23: Wi-Fi wrong password (#20)

Published as baseline-127 (Reborn e5b54fb + identity f6eb0b2, sequence 9200), installed on the owner's player first. #20: a wrong password was saved at once and never said. Now the Wi-Fi worker tries a join before saving it (PendingJoin: ATTACH, SELECT_NETWORK, the supplicant's events; kept only on connect, older entries of the same name removed, the other saved networks enabled again; a failed try removed and the previous network back). A wrong typed password reopens the keyboard with the text and Wrong password; rows say Checking password… / Wrong password; a saved network whose password failed asks for the new one; Change Password in its menu; rebornctl test wifi-join and wifi-join-wrong.

1.0.0-beta.8.27 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.27 (Baseline 126), 2026-10-23: SD cards with errors

Published as baseline-126 (Reborn c1e60d6 + identity 4947352, sequence 9100), installed on the owner's player first. The platform mounts a FAT32/exFAT card whose check finds errors read-only: SdCard::ReadOnly (or Unchecked after an unfinished check) plays, Settings → Storage says Has errors · Playing only and offers Repair SD Card (red confirmation; PlatformTask::SdRepair stops playback from the card, runs y2-platform media repair and names the outcome); a notice when such a card comes in. A healthy card is read-only between writes: playlist changes on the SD run inside the platform's write window (client::sd_write_window), and a read-only refusal is said plainly.

1.0.0-beta.8.26 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.26 (Baseline 125), 2026-10-23: version only (platform report fixes)

Published as baseline-125 (Reborn 404edb3, sequence 9000). No Reborn code change: 8.26 fixes platform findings F35–F41 from uploaded reports (battery start on a charger, Wi-Fi switch-on after a sleep with Wi-Fi off, charging, shutdown trail, report evidence; see the Y2Linux Beta 8.26 report).

1.0.0-beta.8.25 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.25 (Baseline 124), 2026-10-23: version only (#52/#54 kernel fix)

Published as baseline-124 (Reborn 40386bc, sequence 8901). No Reborn code change: 8.25 changes how the kernel starts the DAC's crystal (#52, #54; see the Y2Linux Beta 8.25 report).

1.0.0-beta.8.24 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.24 (Baseline 123), 2026-10-23: wired output at 44.1 kHz only (#52)

Published as baseline-123 (Reborn e199d9c, sequence 8800), installed on the owner's player before publishing. #52: every failure was a 48 kHz start through the DAC's PLL, which stock never runs (stock output: 44.1 kHz only). The wired plan always asks for reborn_audio::WIRED_RATE (44.1 kHz) and the decoder converts other rates; the kept-sink rule is now "wired, 44.1 kHz", so tracks of any rate play on in the open sink (device: 50 reuses across 48/44.1 kHz, 0 reopens). The per-rate wired_plan, the rate fallback and the unused rate arguments are gone.

1.0.0-beta.8.23 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.23 (Baseline 122), 2026-10-22: output kept, DAC hold, update task queue

Published as baseline-122 (Reborn 0779d8b, sequence 8705), installed on the owner's player before publishing. #52/#54: the wired sink stays open across track changes with the same output, rate, format and wired settings (old audio dropped, 10 ms fade-in, closed 2 s after the last stream or at Stop; audio/sink_reused, audio/sink_reopened), and power::dac_hold keeps the DAC powered through the kernel's y2_hp/hold from startup/screen wake to screen-off (dac_hold on screen_wake/screen_blank). F33: Update Now waits for the platform worker's next turn; the update screen gives up after 30 s without a task. Device: 17/17 same-format skips reused the output, hold follows the screen.

1.0.0-beta.8.22 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.22 (Baseline 121), 2026-10-22: Date & Time, report fixes

Published as baseline-121 (Reborn e196033, sequence 8607), installed on the owner's player before publishing. Settings → Display → Date & Time sets the clock by hand (#53; read-only while the clock is network time). Report fixes: a busy wired output is retried for 2 s inside the open deadline and names its holder (F24), an unknown codec outcome clears when the headphones drop or reconnect (F25), Pair waits for the reconnect owner (F28), a cancelled pre-open no longer logs every queued track (F29). The headphone crystal changes (#52/#54) are the kernel's.

1.0.0-beta.8.21 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.21 (Baseline 120), 2026-10-22: headphone crystal run as stock (#52, #54)

Published as baseline-120 (Reborn cdc6b43, sequence 8500), installed on the owner's player before publishing. No Reborn code change (identity only): the fix is the kernel's (Y2Linux overlay 0030: the CS43131 crystal starts with the codec and is used after 1 s like stock, codec autosuspend 5 s). The 5-s sink open deadline of 8.20 covers the 1-s wait.

1.0.0-beta.8.20 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.20 (Baseline 119), 2026-10-22: headphone crystal (#52)

Published as baseline-119 (Reborn cdae78e, sequence 8400), installed on the owner's player before publishing. The sink open deadline is 5 s (34a07b6): on a player whose CS43131 crystal misses its start, the kernel's tries and rail cycle take ≈1.4–1.9 s per open and the sink opens twice, so 2 s gave up during the second open (#52). The crystal itself is the kernel's (Y2Linux overlay 0030: 15 µA bias after a failure).

1.0.0-beta.8.19 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.19 (Baseline 118), 2026-10-21: audiobooks, covers, Customize

Published as baseline-118 (Reborn da5b777, sequence 8302; 8.18 was a test build, never published), installed on the owner's player before publishing. Audiobooks (11febec…da5b777, plan, code map and device test in REBORN-AUDIOBOOKS): reborn_core::books (detection by folder/.m4b/genre, grouping, natural order, chapters, Listening, Shelf in state/books.json, rewind), rb_media_chapters, admit_streams (cover video track), av_max_alloc 128 MiB (long M4B), heavy_mp4 scan, RbDspConfig.speed with atempo, sleep timer (sleep_timer.rs), Home/list/book page/Now Playing/skins (views_books.rs). Covers (4895db4): art 180, thumbs 128 from the picture, CPU half/quarter levels (level_block/level_source), centre crop, Lanczos, 4:2:0 LRU cache of 3 000. Customize (820fa50): Wrap Around; When Screen Off and the 15-min headset grace (ad4fdba).

1.0.0-beta.8.17 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.17 (Baseline 114), 2026-10-21: report fixes

Published as baseline-114 (Reborn 6d5458c, sequence 8100). Bluetooth (6a31a53): a disconnect seen in either of two snapshots of a tick is kept (bt_lost |=), StartDiscovery 15 s with InProgress/late NoReply as scanning, intents go to /run/y2/bt-intent/bt-control.ini (the reconnect owner never read /run/y2), BusyRetry for a busy lock or a busy BlueZ Connect answer (45 s window), a definite failure writes failed (only NoReply/timeouts uncertain). Player (d6523b5): a Play refused for a missing A2DP peer pauses as a disconnect; SdCard::CheckTimedOut and refused-card wording instead of "Reinsert"; BlueALSA drain -EIO leaving SETUP is a pause; radio sniff() for text/bytes playlists, station_failed with HTTP status and content type; one renderer off/on retry for a failed frame within 30 s of a wake (main loop only, not inside sleep_restore).

1.0.0-beta.8.16 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.16 (Baseline 113), 2026-10-20: large libraries

Published as baseline-113 (Reborn eea9312, sequence 8000). From a 28 600-song report: MAX_QUEUE is 5 000 (queue_window: the chosen song with a tenth before it; Shuffle a random 5 000; play_members picks positions before cloning; AppModel::restore trims an older larger queue) (122607f). The scan probe takes matching ids from its indexed lookup instead of an INSERT…SELECT planned as a walk over the whole source (749 s of a 759 s no-change rescan) (5c7e768). Tags of new/changed files are read by read_parallel on up to 3 threads (scan_workers, after the LibraryScan lease restored the cores; reborn_platform::lower_thread_priority nice 10), applied in file order (4922cab).

1.0.0-beta.8.15 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.15 (Baseline 112), 2026-10-20: CJK text, update check, codec retry

Published as baseline-112 (Reborn 2ef41d3, sequence 7900). Text lookup is exact face → fallback page → Noto Sans CJK (/usr/share/fonts/noto-cjk/NotoSansCJKjp-Regular.otf, REBORN_CJK_FONT overrides) → U+FFFD; missing glyphs are rasterised at the face's size into a runtime 1024² A8 page (reborn-graphics/src/glyphs.rs, reborn-ui/src/glyph_cache.rs, texture slot 9, LRU shelves, ≤ 48 new glyphs a frame), font memory-mapped on first need (a3b1943). A failed update check flashes Couldn't reach the update server and the page keeps Update Now; network_not_online maps to NeedsNetwork (cdf8c7b). The Bluetooth worker retries a codec choice refused while the peer is still connecting (2 s, 5 tries; b8cd9a7). Not run on a player before publishing (owner updates by OTA).

1.0.0-beta.8.14 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.14 (Baseline 111), 2026-10-20: shuffle, seek, genre Shuffle, titles

Published as baseline-111 (Reborn 5cda8bb, sequence 7800; changes in 2861ec9). play_members seeded its Fisher-Yates shuffle from the selected track's ID and index, and Shuffle rows always selected the first member, so every Shuffle played one fixed order: now reborn_platform::random_u64() (getrandom) seeds a splitmix64 shuffle, a Shuffle row (force_shuffle) shuffles every member, a song picked with Shuffle on stays first. Effect::Seek carries only the direction; seek_step sizes held-seek steps 1 s → 3 s (after 1.5 s) → 10 s (after 4 s), at most 1/60 of the song (was 30 s every 90 ms). A genre's album list has Shuffle (shuffle:collection) under All Songs, also skipped by Cover Flow's album detail. The Home card's title is fitted to 200 px. Owner checked all four on build 111.

1.0.0-beta.8.13 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.13 (Baseline 110), 2026-10-20: library tags over MTP

Published as baseline-110 (Reborn 21cd3b0, sequence 7701); no Reborn source change besides the identity. Y2Linux's MTP responder (umtprd overlay 0005) now reads Reborn's library read-only (/data/reborn/library.db: tracks joined to online sources by absolute path, deleted=0) to report title, artist, album, album artist, track, duration, sample rate, channels and bitrate to libmtp clients such as Strawberry. **The tracks/sources columns it reads are now an interface:** renaming them falls back to file names over MTP (no failure). Pause/resume silence on wired output was the #48 crystal path on the reopen after a 180 s hold, fixed in 8.12 and checked on a player.

1.0.0-beta.8.12 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.12 (Baseline 108), 2026-10-20: playlist crash loop, crash isolation, audio open retry

Published as baseline-108 (Reborn 90f3da6, sequence 7601). An M3U line with a multi-byte character across byte 8 (’, º) panicked the playlists thread at reborn-platform/src/playlists.rs:223 (trimmed[..8]) on every scan with the SD card; the panic hook ends the process, so three players crash-looped and updates rolled back (Y2Linux #49). Fixed there and in reborn-ui/src/playlist_index.rs (text[..7], percent_decode) (3ff346a). reborn_observability::isolated() turns a panic on one user file into an error: the hook writes panic-last.json with "isolated": true and returns instead of exit(101); used per playlist file/job, per cover decode and per scanned song (bc2762d, test crates/reborn-observability/tests/isolated_panic.rs). A refused output open is tried once more after 250 ms (CS43131 crystal, Y2Linux #48; 2db37cf). Test build 107 on the maintainer's player: crash playlists listed and opened, no panic.

1.0.0-beta.8.11 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.11 (Baseline 106), 2026-10-20: storage setup waiting for a charger

Published as baseline-106 (Reborn 727fd47, sequence 7500). InternalSetup::Pending carries SetupWait from the platform's reason: battery_low/battery_unknown → Settings → Storage says Connect a charger and restart; anything else (an update's health boot) keeps Restart to finish setting up. Before, every Pending said restart, and a user restarted on battery again and again without the setup ever running (Y2Linux report 20261019-153610; the platform gate is now 25 % by power-on OCV). Preview 32-storage-setup-battery; tests in client.rs and internal_storage_setup_is_offered_only_for_a_waiting_old_library_and_confirmed_red. Not checked on a player.

1.0.0-beta.8.10 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.10 (Baseline 105), 2026-10-19: report progress, no topic, uploads

Published as baseline-105 (Reborn cfac12b, sequence 7400), with the uploads entry below.

Report progress, no topic

Send Report Now sends at once: PlatformTask::ReportSend has no topic, Screen::ReportTopic and ReportTopic are gone (every report holds everything). While a report is made, About & Updates → Error Reports shows its live progress like the update download: client::report_progress reads Y2Linux's /run/y2/report-progress.json every 200 ms while ReportSend/ReportSave run (PlatformState::report, ReportLive, ReportStep), and views_settings::report_progress draws the steps Collect · Clean · Send (or Save), the percent, the gliding bar, what happens ("260 of 504 KB", "Into the Error Reports folder.") and the time left; before the first record "Starting…" sweeps. Previews 33f, 33l–33o; test a_running_report_shows_its_steps_percent_and_what_happens; 545 tests, strict Clippy.

Uploads

With the platform's uploader (Y2Linux ERROR-REPORTS-PLAN R4): Send Report Now flashes "Report sent" when the report went out at once (last.state == "sent" in the reply), "Report saved · waiting to send" otherwise; the page names a dropped report (refused by the receiver or unsent after three days) as "couldn't be sent". The switch, Send Report Now, the install ID and the question appear when the image carries the upload key (upload: true).

1.0.0-beta.8.9 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.9 (label 102), 2026-10-19: Save Report without a topic

Built and installed on the owner's player, not published (Reborn 4da5f84, sequence 7100). Save Report asks only for the storage: report_dest:<destination> returns to the Error Reports page and starts PlatformTask::ReportSave(destination) (y2-platform report save --to …, no --topic). The topic never changed a report's content (report.py collects the same sections for every topic; it was only a label in report.json), and a saved report goes with a GitHub issue that says what went wrong. Screen::ReportTopic stays for Send Report Now, where the topic is the only thing the owner tells the receiver. The storage rows lose their chevron. Test without_an_uploader_reports_are_saved_to_the_chosen_storage updated; 543 tests, strict Clippy.

1.0.0-beta.8.8 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.8 (Baseline 101), 2026-10-19: Save Report

Published as baseline-101 (Reborn b6b6fbc, sequence 7000), with the error report screens below. About & Updates → Error Reports → Save Report → storage (ReportState::destinations, report_dest:<internal|sd>) → topic (Screen::ReportTopic, filter save:<destination>) → PlatformTask::ReportSave(topic, destination) → y2-platform report save --to … --topic …; afterwards back on the Error Reports page, which shows the progress and "Last report saved to …". While the platform says upload: false (no uploader yet), the page shows only Save Report and What Is Saved, About & Updates shows no On/Off and ask_about_reports() asks nothing. A report takes ≈10 s. Test without_an_uploader_reports_are_saved_to_the_chosen_storage, previews 33h–33k; 543 tests, strict Clippy.

Error reports screens (2026-10-18; on the owner's player as test build 98, released in 8.8)

Reborn 8ba33b3 and fbecb77 (versions 1.0.0-beta.8.8 test builds 97–98, not published). Plan: Y2Linux docs/planning/ERROR-REPORTS-PLAN.md.

1.0.0-beta.8.7 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.7 (Baseline 95), 2026-10-18 (latest): identity only

Published as baseline-95 (Reborn 82fe089, sequence 6900). No Reborn change: the release identifies GC9503V players from LK's panel name (Y2Linux kernel, #45/#46).

1.0.0-beta.8.6 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.6 (Baseline 94), 2026-10-18: audio playback review

Published as baseline-94 (Reborn cefcc8a, sequence 6800). Device results: Y2Linux Beta 8.6 report (test build 94 on the owner's player = the release: profile list, dsp_rise_fade, fade_continued after Next, pause_released, no restart for the same level; CPU floor 598 MHz with a profile instead of 747.5, ≥16 % fewer decode-thread cycles). Findings and answers: Y2Linux handoff and audits AUDIO-REVIEW-8.5 / BETA-8.6.

1.0.0-beta.8.5 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 8.5 (Baseline 93), 2026-10-18: headphone level, headphone profiles, DAC filter

1.0.0-beta.7.9 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 7.9 (Baseline 72), 2026-10-17: Internal Storage setup, #39, #44

1.0.0-beta.7.8 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 7.8 (Baseline 71), 2026-10-16: Last.fm fixes

1.0.0-beta.7.7 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 7.7 (Baseline 70), 2026-10-16: Last.fm scrobbling

1.0.0-beta.7.6 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 7.6 (Baseline 67), 2026-10-16: smooth update screens

1.0.0-beta.7.5 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 7.5 (Baseline 66), 2026-10-16: larger status bar, Skin in Settings

1.0.0-beta.7.4 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 7.4 (Baseline 65), 2026-10-16: status-bar messages, cooler wave

1.0.0-beta.7.3 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 7.3 (Baseline 64), 2026-10-16: USB message and symbol

1.0.0-beta.7.2 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 7.2 (Baseline 63), 2026-10-16: motion and the Now Playing wave

1.0.0-beta.7.1 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 7.1 (Baseline 62), 2026-10-16: one-step update, USB screen, time zone

1.0.0-beta.7 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 7 (Baseline 61), 2026-10-16: UI v4

1.0.0-beta.6.3 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 6.3 (Baseline 60), 2026-10-16: sleep while paused

1.0.0-beta.6.2 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 6.2 (Baseline 59), 2026-10-16: clock, skins for the newer screens, Bunny Bow

1.0.0-beta.6.1 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 6.1 (Baseline 58), 2026-10-16: Bluetooth resume, skipping while a song starts, SD duplicates

Review of the Beta 6 day's changes (in 1.0.0-beta.6.1)

Owner: "analyse the changes we made today … performance problems or code that is double and could be consolidated". Found and fixed:

Checks: 462 tests three runs in a row, Clippy, previews pixel-identical before/after (109 screens × Reborn, Paper, Classic).

1.0.0-beta.6 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 6 (Baseline 57), 2026-10-15: Playlists, pause in place, collected seeking

Playlists (owner: a playlist feature like Y2Player's, its own section, add/remove on the device, "highly optimized … fix issues Y2Player had"; decisions: playlists anywhere in the music, edits go into the file itself, a Favorites playlist with a heart, moving with the wheel).

Owner: "when playing music and pausing and playing again the player will always buffer"; "scrolling right and left also gives an error". Player log (Beta 5.1, AirPods): Pause closed the PCM at once ("alsa closed" 3 ms after pause); Play reopened the file, sought and reopened bluealsa: (open → prepared ≈450 ms), ≈1.3–1.4 s per resume. Holding Previous/Next seeks 30 s every 90 ms; each step restarted the pipeline and the next one hit "audio reconfiguration is still pending" (ten errors in one second).

1.0.0-beta.5.1 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 5.1 (Baseline 56), 2026-10-15: live search, a faster search index, Radio as its own section

Radio, reworked (views_radio, owner: "radio should feel like its own premium section", "sort everything by alphabet", "top 10 radio stations for each country on top"):

Live search. The library search shows its results above a compact keyboard while you type: three rows (artists, then albums, then songs, up to 60), the count in the field, a hint while empty. Back on the top key row moves into the results, Down past the last one returns to the keys, Select opens an artist or album or plays a song (the full results page comes first, so Back returns to it); hold Select still opens all results. Password and station search keep the roomy keyboard.

Search index (reborn_ui::search::Index): artists, albums and songs are folded and sorted once per library (album counts precomputed); a keystroke searches only what the shorter text found, Delete reuses the earlier search (48 kept), matching allocates nothing per name. Synthetic 20 000-song library on the host (release build): per keystroke mean 6.2 ms → 0.05 ms, worst 7.5 ms → 0.42 ms; the index build (≈20 ms on the host, a few hundred ms on the player for 20 000 songs) happens when the keyboard opens. The results page no longer scans the library once per artist. Benchmark: `cargo test -p reborn-ui --release -- --ignored --nocapture speed`.

1.0.0-beta.5 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 5 (Baseline 55), 2026-10-15: keyboard and search

Full-screen keyboard (reborn_ui::keyboard) for the Wi-Fi password, radio station search and the new library search, replacing the one-row letter wheel. QWERTY in four rows (owner's choice), pages abc/ABC (Shift once, twice = lock), 123, #+= (all printable ASCII, so any WPA passphrase) and àé (accented letters, searches only; passwords get a show/hide key there). Buttons only (owner's choice): ActionRouter::set_keyboard turns Back, Play/Pause, Previous and Next into up, down, left and right on press, held Previous/Next repeat every 180 ms, holding Back cancels, the wheel does nothing; Select types, holding Select is Done. Rows wrap, so Done is one press above the letters. Playback buttons do not skip tracks while it is open; volume and Power keep their meaning; headphone buttons still control playback.

Library search (Home → Search, also in the Music menu): artists, albums and songs where every typed word begins a word of the name, folded like A to Z order (reborn_core::sort::fold); an album is also found by its artist, a song by title, artist or album. The keyboard shows a live count ("2 artists · 3 albums · 9 songs"); results open as a list (Edit Search, artists, albums, songs); Select on a song plays the result songs in order. Folded names are cached per library (search::Index).

Since 1.0.0-beta.4 (in Beta 4.1): a stopped or paused station no longer hangs playback (Stream::drop closes its pipe first); Radio follows the Wi-Fi view every loop pass; a late platform network record no longer shows a connected player as offline.

UI pass (all 95 preview states, Reborn's look and skins): one capitalization rule (Title Case for titles, rows, buttons and menu entries; sentence case for descriptions, hints and status values), so "Play Next", "Go to Album", "Scan for Music" (one name instead of two), "Reset Settings", "Wi-Fi Is Off" and so on; notices sit in the status bar instead of over the focused row or the cover; the turn-off hold has a nearly opaque backdrop; the password keyboard's title is "Wi-Fi Password" (the prompt names the network).

Host checks: 437 workspace tests (keyboard layout, movement, pages, limits, Done/Cancel; router keyboard mode with held buttons; search matching; the Wi-Fi, radio and library flows), fmt, strict Clippy; preview renders of the keyboard pages and search results in Reborn's look and in skins. Not yet on the device.

1.0.0-beta.4 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 4 (Baseline 53), 2026-10-15: internet radio

Internet radio. Home → Radio: Favorites (saved in /data/reborn/state/radio.json), Popular, Countries, Genres and Search (wheel keyboard) from radio-browser.info (mirrors found through DNS as the service asks; plays are counted with its /json/url/ call), and My Stations from .m3u/.pls files in a Radio folder on Internal Storage or the SD card. Hold Select on a station, or on Now Playing, to add or remove a favorite. Now Playing shows LIVE RADIO, the station's announced song (ICY StreamTitle) or the connection state, listening time and LIVE instead of a countdown.

How it works: reborn_platform::radio runs curl (TLS with certificate checks, redirects, .pls/.m3u indirection, 15-s stall limit) and strips the ICY metadata blocks; the audio bytes go through a pipe to Decoder::open_stream, a non-seekable input of the existing FFmpeg decoder (rbpipe:<fd>, formats mp3, aac, ogg, flac). FFmpeg keeps --disable-network and its file-only protocol policy. A dropped connection is retried after 1, 2, 4, 8, 15 and 30 s; the decoder waits up to 45 s. A station is never pre-opened for gapless playback, never seeked, and an SD card change never pauses it. HLS/DASH-only stations are left out of the directory lists and named when a playlist leads to one.

Host checks: 426 workspace tests (radio: ICY splitting at every byte boundary, header/redirect parsing, playlists, Radio folders, directory filtering, favorites, a local Shoutcast server that drops and is reconnected, stream decoding of MP3/AAC/Ogg from a slow pipe, the Radio screens), fmt, strict Clippy. Live (ignored by default): the real directory and two real stations (France Info MP3, Europe 1 AAC) decode through the playback path. Not yet on the device.

1.0.0-beta.3 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 3 (Baseline 52), 2026-10-15

Bluetooth quality and stability. The platform now runs AAC with the FDK afterburner at the highest rate the headphones accept where a frame still fits one packet (AirPods Pro advertise 256 kbit/s VBR-capable; Beta 2 sent BlueALSA's default 220 kbit/s) and steps the rate down (256 → 192 → 160 → 128 kbit/s) while the link backs up, back up after ~10 s of an empty queue — the AAC counterpart of LDAC's adaptive rate. The service menu (System) shows AAC Quality (High / Standard) and AAC Auto Rate (On / Off) next to the LDAC rows; SBC Quality (XQ, XQ+) no longer needs the experimental switch. Defaults need no action from the owner.

1.0.0-beta.2 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 2 (Baseline 51), 2026-10-15

Automatic audio output. Bluetooth headphones win over the headphone jack: the first time a connected peer's BlueALSA playback PCM is ready, the output moves to it and playing music continues there (notice Audio switched to …). Once per connection, so choosing the jack by hand sticks until the headphones reconnect; a codec change that recreates the PCM is not a new connection; a working Bluetooth output is never displaced by a second peer. Losing the peer returns to the jack and pauses, as before. Reborn starts on the jack and lets reconnecting headphones take over (a saved Bluetooth output whose peer was absent used to leave playback with nowhere to go). There is no jack detection on this board yet, so the jack is simply the output whenever no Bluetooth headphones are connected. Wi-Fi passwords containing \ or " are sent as typed (they were stored escaped and could never connect); network names go to wpa_supplicant as hex. Live on Beta 1 (2026-10-15): AirPods Pro negotiate AAC 44.1 kHz.

1.0.0-beta.1 — Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 1 (Baseline 50), 2026-10-16

Reborn's first public beta, built into the Y2Linux 1.0 Beta 1 images. Since Baseline 48: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth pages explain the one-time radio firmware copy (Firmware drive) and say when it is ready; a cancelled or older failed update no longer hides a newer release; versions read "1.0.0 Beta 1"; merged contributions by @samanz: covers that load reliably (#6), A to Z ignoring case, accents and a leading "The" (#7), genre titles on the album grid (#8). Public codecs SBC, AAC (fdk-aac-free) and LDAC.

Baseline 48 — 2026-10-16

Reborn 0.3.0 62af097 is the player in Y2Linux Baseline 48 (POWER-FINAL-48, tag baseline-48, the third release on the over-the-air channel). Since Baseline 34: Software Update for full-system updates over Wi-Fi (Y2Linux OTA-35 to 48): check (also once a day, with a Software update available notice), download, Restart and Install (the player restarts into its recovery image and back by itself), Restoring and named refusals (charger or half a battery, needs a computer, couldn't be verified; not enough system space names the MB and says music is not affected). The download screen (48) reads the platform's live progress file: Step 1 of 2 · Download with a percentage, a gliding bar, MB of MB, speed and time left, then Step 2 of 2 · Check; when done the page turns to Ready to Install and a notice says so wherever the owner is. Preview states 34, 34b, 34c.

Baseline 34 — 2026-10-14

Reborn 0.3.0 5b69ef5 is the player in Y2Linux Baseline 34 (POWER-FINAL-34, tag baseline-34). Since Baseline 24 (ced5199): Cover Flow at the panel's rate (no 34-ms frame gate), sub-minute album lengths, macOS ._* and system folders skipped (25); Bluetooth codecs seen and chosen automatically (26); folder-first artwork with more cover names, .m4b/.oga/.aifc, ALBUM ARTIST (31); the limiter only when the DSP can raise a peak (30); themes (33, 34): a skin engine (strict skin.json, skin atlas texture, TTF fonts, layouts per screen with Reborn's own drawing in the skin's palette as fallback), Settings → Display → Theme, Themes folders on Internal Storage and the SD card, rebornctl theme, 15 shipped skins (skins); and the battery level for the platform's stock_oam source (34). Reborn's own look is unchanged without a skin (every host preview identical to 0892bf2 except the new Theme row). 398 workspace tests, fmt and strict Clippy pass. On hardware: the themes ran on 33 (owner: "it works very good"; Classic 162 ms, the other 13 shipped themes 87–119 ms to load); 34 (battery level, Zune) awaits the flash. Cover Flow frame rate after 25, AAC with AirPods, crossfade and EQ are not yet checked on the device.

Baseline 24 — 2026-10-13

Reborn 0.3.0 ced5199 is the player in Y2Linux Baseline 24: Cover Flow for Albums, Genres, animation frame pacing.

Baseline 15 — 2026-10-12

Reborn 0.3.0 f68e088 is the player in Y2Linux Baseline 15 (POWER-FINAL-15, tag baseline-15). The only change since 13 is the move to Rust 1.99.0 with its stricter Clippy (as_chunks, try_update, a pointer cast for the signal handler, a zipped queue counter); behaviour is unchanged. 362 workspace tests, fmt and strict Clippy pass on 1.99. On the device it runs against Mesa 26.2.4, FFmpeg 9.0.2, BlueZ 5.87 and bluez-alsa 5.0.0; the owner confirmed display, audio, Bluetooth and library after the flash.

Baseline 13 — 2026-10-11

Reborn 0.3.0 71ddb0d is the player in Y2Linux Baseline 13 (POWER-FINAL-13, tag baseline-13). The Product UI v3 and the remaining screens (computer connection and copying, Bluetooth pairing, update download, scanning, low battery, SD removed, songs added) have run on the owner's Y2 since POWER-FINAL-10/11. Reborn was unchanged from 11 to 13; those candidates changed the platform (sleep, charging, stock power settings). Host checks at 71ddb0d: cargo fmt, cargo test --workspace --locked --offline and strict Clippy pass. Not checked on hardware: crossfade end-of-track blend, EQ, native high-rate output, non-SBC Bluetooth codecs. Platform issues that affect the player (software-restart dark panel, USB after deep sleep) are listed in the Y2Linux state.

Product UI v3 — 2026-10-10

Reborn 0.3.0 redesigns the UI (see Product UI v3): Open Sans exact-size type, cover-driven accent, cover thumbnails with a disk cache, a bare volume line, option icons on Now Playing, a flatter Settings tree, hold-to-turn-off without menus, a hidden service menu and new startup/shutdown screens. Host tests, fmt and strict Clippy pass; it is not yet observed on hardware. Dated sections below describe earlier applications.

Independent Platform 1.0 baseline — 2026-10-04

Compiled Reborn 9cd12baeeb70b204e08299bd4c91c8c35604c304 (runtime bytes unchanged from master dd73dcc) with Linux 98daf3f0220f4a1580bb4893094ee9f0e02362a5. Fresh 324 workspace tests, fmt, strict Clippy, ARM/QEMU/installed helper/dependency validation PASS. Build Y2LINUX-PLATFORM-V1-BASELINE-01, root 2025.02.18-platform-v1.24, release 1.0.0-platform-v1-baseline-candidate.1. Final branch codex/platform-v1-baseline-final; canonical owner package /home/luca/Dokumente/Code/Y2Linux/out/y2linux-platform-v1-baseline-candidate. SOFTWARE_VALIDATED / INTEGRATED_PHYSICAL_NOT_RUN. UART01 CPU and temporary subsystem measurements keep their historical identities; Baseline02 RTC FAIL and public firmware/codec/source/collector blockers stay open. Main unchanged. No flash, push or device qualification by the verifier. Later report-only HEAD is separate from compiled source. Earlier current/next labels are historical.

READY_FOR_PLATFORM_V1_PHYSICAL_QUALIFICATION. Compiled Reborn dd73dcc3243045cd33e319dda2f76918ed37ea31/Linux 4c72466f2f27ddf9f0ca18ba8ddc4d89c52599d2; actual package/application0.2.0.324tests/fmt/strict Clippy, fresh pinned ARM/QEMU/software/package gates PASS. One candidate /home/luca/Dokumente/Code/worktrees/platform-v1-integration/Y2Linux/out/y2linux-platform-v1-integration-candidate. Integrated physical/endurance NOT_RUN and public distribution blocked; current installed stock remains Baseline02/b71 after temporary source-bound benchmarks. See master and software receipt. Dated progress/physical sections below remain history.

Platform 1.0 integration — 2026-10-04

Selected source from all eleven finished handoffs is composed on codex/platform-v1-integration. All 324 workspace tests, formatting and strict Clippy pass. Fresh production ARM and one integrated physical campaign remain pending. Canonical source/card claims, bounded TEMP scanner, source-aware zero-FD cover cache, one observation worker, sleep quiescence and durable USB refresh share one runtime. Native wired hardware remains S16/44.1/48; wider AFE admission and Bluetooth peer/codecs require evidence.

Installed owner receipts identify Baseline02 Linux 8584ccd8 / Reborn b71b4688, boot 88b85fa3 after the failed RTC wake; temporary optimized binary tests are separate from installed stock and the new integrated image. The master, source ledger and physical plan are current; the dated observations below retain their original scope.

Updated 2026-10-01. **Software candidate (not flashed, not physically qualified): Reborn Product UI v2** (0.2.0) on the CPU Final Fix03 platform. Smaller product surface, typed platform boundary, one-detent wheel, Reborn boot mark and dark shutdown. See Product UI v2, the pass record and the Y2Linux receipt. Everything below describes the last physically observed application. Updated 2026-10-04. The observed installed application is Product UI v2 (0.2.0), Reborn b71b468860233faa0a42b8448ec5777fa952b8e3, on Y2LINUX-BASELINE-02: Linux 8584ccd85f052f351fe51650b2348c83ca894ed4, kernel 6.18.0-y2linux-baseline-02, root 2025.02.18-platform-v1.21. Final matched tests/restoration observe boot 88b85fa3-2282-4d93-b0b8-818a105ddd0a with taint 0 and automatic qualified CPU0 C3 policy Enabled, budget -1, disable 0.

The performance pass records reversible temporary ARM executable tests, product benchmarks and their limits. Its source candidate is isolated on codex/platform-v1-reborn-performance; the installed executable and original application data are restored after tests. Product v2 design and state ownership remain the contract. This pass does not promote full suspend, electrical battery life or public release qualification. The final tested temporary source is 069415a; installed Reborn remains b71b4688. Playing CPU falls from 87.95% to 11.21% of one core, while all 1,000 wheel steps match and sampled static screens produce zero idle redraws. See Product UI v2, the product pass, and the paired current platform state.

The dated Fix01 observations below are retained as historical evidence. They describe that image, rather than the installed Baseline02 or performance candidate.

Physical observation from the 2026-09-27 CPU Final Fix01 run. This page describes the exact already-flashed application, not a new image or software build. The paired Linux state and physical report are the authority for hardware/platform results.

The user interface, controls, artwork, scanner and platform workers generated accepted real workload leases for Idle, PlaybackNormal, PlaybackHeavy, Interactive, ArtworkDecode, LibraryScan, NetworkTransfer and Maintenance. Interaction lasted roughly 250 ms, coalesced and expired; screen-off released it immediately while playback's lease remained. The kernel governor selects MHz. Isolated client tests also covered renew/expiry/close/overlap/killed-process cleanup; actual Reborn process-death restart was not physically tested.

Bounded native 44.1-kHz and 24/96 -> 48-kHz silent fixtures played with no ALSA XRUN, FFmpeg decode/filter errors or corrupt packets. Silent fixtures establish software operation, not listening quality. Crossfade was enabled through the real UI to produce PlaybackHeavy, then restored to zero; an actual track-transition blend and independent EQ path remain untested. The 200-file scan was a small fixture run, not a 20k-track endurance result. The measured decoder_stalls counter represents a full producer queue in current source, not corruption or an ALSA underrun. Source output precision and native high-rate hardware are separate from decoding and conversion.

The Fix01 platform qualification FAILS overall: SLIDLE never entered; 1196/1300 MHz stayed safely gated; no same-boot full suspend restore was demonstrated; a loaded USB transfer lost connectivity while the UI stayed usable. Four independent small Wi-Fi roundtrips and the one-retry radio restore passed. No claim about actual Bluetooth peer playback, visual legibility, analog fidelity, battery life, full wake or public release is made here.

Current software ownership remains media, live volume, platform API, and UI v1. The Luna correctness closure, UI candidate report and older system audit are dated software/review records. Refer to the document catalog before treating their older "current" or "next" text as today's policy.

At the Fix01 boundary, next CPU platform work was one coherent Fix02 plan: PM diagnostic safety, PWRAP readiness, MMC runtime clocks/coordinator reachability and loaded USB recovery. This page does not authorize those code changes, flashing or a new application release. It preserves source, candidate and physical evidence tiers.

These are Y2Reborn's own instructions, shown here word for word.
