Description

Add an in-session overlay modal that opens from a keybinding during active playback and lets the user browse video files from the current file's parent directory alongside the active mpv playlist. The modal should sort local files in best-effort episode order, highlight the current item, and allow keyboard/mouse interaction to add files into the mpv queue, remove queued items, and reorder queued items without leaving playback.

Acceptance Criteria

  • #1 An overlay modal can be opened during active playback from a dedicated keybinding and closed without disrupting existing modal behavior.
  • #2 The modal shows video files from the current media file's parent directory in best-effort episode order and highlights the current file when present.
  • #3 The modal shows the active mpv playlist/queue with enough metadata to identify the current item and queued order.
  • #4 The user can add a directory file to the mpv playlist, remove playlist items, and reorder playlist items from the modal using both mouse and keyboard interactions.
  • #5 Modal state stays in sync after playlist mutations so the rendered queue reflects mpv's current playlist order.
  • #6 Feature coverage includes automated tests for ordering/playlist behavior and docs or shortcut/help updates for the new modal.

Implementation Plan

  1. Add playlist-browser domain types, IPC channels, overlay modal registration, special command, and default keybinding for Ctrl+Alt+P.
  2. Write failing tests for best-effort episode sorting and main playlist-browser runtime snapshot/mutation behavior.
  3. Implement playlist-browser main/runtime helpers for local sibling video discovery, mpv playlist normalization, and append/play/remove/move operations with refreshed snapshots.
  4. Wire preload and main-process IPC handlers that expose snapshot and mutation methods to the renderer.
  5. Write failing renderer and keyboard tests for modal open/close, split-pane interaction, keyboard controls, and degraded states.
  6. Implement playlist-browser modal markup, DOM/state, renderer composition, keyboard routing, and session-help labeling.
  7. Run targeted test lanes first, then the maintained verification gate relevant to the touched surfaces; update task notes/criteria as checks pass.

Implementation Notes

Implemented overlay playlist browser modal with split directory/playlist panes, Ctrl+Alt+P keybinding, main/preload IPC, mpv queue mutations, and best-effort sibling episode sorting.

Added tests for sort/runtime logic, IPC wiring, keyboard routing, and playlist-browser modal behavior.

Verification: bun run typecheck passed; targeted playlist-browser and IPC tests passed; bun run build passed; bun run test:smoke:dist passed.

Repo gate blockers outside this feature: bun run test:fast hits existing Bun node:test NotImplementedError cases plus unrelated immersion-tracker failures; bun run test:env fails in existing immersion-tracker sqlite tests.

2026-03-30: Fixed playlist-browser local playback regression where subtitle track IDs leaked across episode jumps. playPlaylistBrowserIndexRuntime now reapplies local subtitle auto-selection defaults (sub-auto=fuzzy, sid=auto, secondary-sid=auto) before playlist-play-index for local filesystem targets only; remote playlist entries remain untouched. Added runtime regression tests for both paths.

2026-03-30: Follow-up subtitle regression fix. Pre-jump sid=auto was ineffective because mpv resolved it against the current episode before playlist-play-index. Local playlist jumps now set sub-auto=fuzzy, switch episodes, then schedule a delayed rearm of sid=auto and secondary-sid=auto so selection happens against the new file's tracks. Added failing-first runtime coverage for delayed local rearm and remote no-op behavior.

2026-03-30: Cleaned up playlist-browser runtime local-play subtitle-rearm flow by extracting focused helpers without changing behavior. Added public docs/readme coverage for the default Ctrl+Alt+P playlist browser keybinding and modal, plus changelog fragment changes/260-playlist-browser.md. Verification: bun test src/main/runtime/playlist-browser-runtime.test.ts, bun run typecheck, bun run docs:test, bun run docs:build, bun run changelog:lint, bun run build.
