Summary

Follow-up to #308. That PR made [[dir]] directory sources manageable from the playlist manager; this one completes the picture by letting users create playlists and fill them with a mix of directories and individual tracks, entirely from the TUI.

Part of a stack: #333 (cross-playlist favorites) is based on this branch and extends the same manager. Merge this first.

What's new

Playlist manager (p) — songs view + Local pane

  • p opens the manager from the songs view (as before) and from the Local source pane.
  • It is intentionally unavailable on other providers' panes (Spotify, radio, …) — playlist management only makes sense for local playlists.

Create + fill flow

  • a on the manager list creates a playlist and drops straight into the file browser at ~, targeted at it.
  • In the browser: Space selects folders and/or files, Enter descends into folders or confirms the selection, Esc acts as done and commits anything still selected.
  • Selected folders become live [[dir]] sources (feat: dynamic directory playlists via [[dir]] sources #308); selected files are written as explicit tracks.
  • Creating no longer auto-adds the currently playing track — new playlists only contain what you pick.

Manage

  • r renames a playlist inline.
  • d deletes with y/n confirmation.
  • Recently Played is virtual: it cannot be renamed or deleted.

Consistent counters

  • The Local pane re-pulls counts after creation and after every write, so rows show name · N dirs · M tracks · duration exactly like every other playlist, immediately — no need to open the playlist first.

Testing

  • make check (gofmt, vet, full test suite) passes.
  • New table-driven tests cover: create → browser handoff, browser starting at ~, Esc-done committing pending selections, dir/file split on confirm, rename/delete guards for Recently Played, p opening the manager from the provider pane, and p being inert on non-local panes.

Docs

  • docs/keybindings.md, docs/playlists.md, and site/index.html updated for the create/rename/delete flow and browser semantics.

Building on the dynamic [[dir]] directory sources added in bjarneo#308, this gives
the TUI full control over them instead of forcing CLI or TOML edits.

Playlist list: each playlist that references [[dir]] sources shows a
'N dir(s)' indicator next to its track count, so directory-backed
collections are visible at a glance.

Directory-sources screen (press D from a playlist's tracks screen):
lists every [[dir]] source with its scan mode (recursive or flat) and
supports the full lifecycle:
  - a  open the file browser to add a directory as a [[dir]] source
  - d  remove the highlighted source (y/n confirm, since its tracks
       disappear from the playlist)
  - r  toggle recursive on the highlighted source (re-scans at once)
  - Esc/Backspace back to the tracks screen

File browser: pressing D adds the highlighted/selected directory (or the
directory currently being browsed when nothing is selected) as a live
[[dir]] source instead of expanding it into explicit tracks. Directories
already referenced are skipped and reported.

Provider surface: DirSource moves to the playlist package so the UI stays
decoupled from external/local, and a new optional
provider.PlaylistDirSourceManager interface exposes DirSources,
AddDirSource, RemoveDirSource, and SetDirRecursive. PlaylistInfo gains a
DirSourceCount field that local.Playlists populates from the parsed doc at
no extra I/O cost. The virtual 'Recently Played' playlist is guarded so D
shows a friendly notice rather than a reserved-name error.

plMgrRefreshList no longer clamps the shared cursor/scroll off the list
screen, so tracks/dirs screens keep their own cursor after a metadata
refresh.

Docs: docs/playlists.md and docs/keybindings.md document the new screen and
keys; site/index.html notes TUI management in the Playlists blurb.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds live [[dir]] playlist sources. It introduces shared directory-source types and provider operations, plus playlist-manager and file-browser controls for adding, removing, and toggling recursive scanning.

Changes

Directory-source management

Layer / File(s) Summary
Directory-source contracts and provider operations
playlist/..., provider/interfaces.go, external/local/...
Adds shared directory-source types and provider operations. The local provider parses, counts, matches, removes, and updates directory sources.
Playlist-manager interaction flow
ui/model/command_registry.go, ui/model/keys.go, ui/model/overlays.go, ui/model/state.go, ui/model/model.go, ui/model/scroll.go, ui/model/update.go, ui/model/dirs_screen_test.go
Adds the directory-source screen, key handling, provider refreshes, playlist creation flow, protected-playlist guards, and interaction tests.
File-browser directory-source flow
ui/model/filebrowser.go, ui/model/overlays.go, ui/model/dirs_screen_test.go
Adds directory-source selection from the file browser. Directory selections become live sources, while remaining file selections resolve into tracks.
Directory-screen rendering and documentation
ui/model/view.go, ui/model/view_overlays.go, docs/keybindings.md, docs/playlists.md, site/index.html
Displays directory counts and source scan modes. Documents the playlist-manager and file-browser controls.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7cdc8

Creating playlists and selecting tracks can exit the browser without applying the selected track, while playlist counts may refresh before asynchronous writes complete and local writes may surface unrelated provider errors. These concrete correctness and integration risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

needs some changes..i'll do it and reopen it!

- p now opens the playlist manager from any source pane, not just the
  songs view
- a on the manager list creates a playlist and drops into the file
  browser at ~ targeted at it; Space selects folders and/or files,
  Enter descends or confirms, Esc acts as done and commits anything
  pending
- selected folders become [[dir]] sources, selected files become
  explicit tracks (builds on bjarneo#308)
- r renames and d deletes playlists with y/n confirm; Recently Played
  cannot be renamed or deleted
- provider pane re-pulls counts after creation and after every write so
  dirs/tracks/duration match other playlists immediately
- creating no longer auto-adds the currently playing track

- fbDescend returns the track-resolution command; Enter/l on a
  highlighted audio file resolves it instead of silently closing
- dir-source failure statuses use Errorf, matching convention
maybeScrobble now returns a provider-playlist refresh command when a
history entry lands, and the manager list is re-pulled in place while
open. Skip-next/prev, track-finished, and plugin jump paths propagate
the command so Recently Played counts track listens live.
Sitting inside the Recently Played track list while a track plays
through now re-reads the list in place, clamping the cursor and
re-applying any filter, instead of showing stale entries until the
screen is reopened.
…uration

Local files get no DurationSecs from tag reading, so the drain and
gapless scrobble paths passed elapsed=0/duration=0 and the 50% gate
dropped every naturally finished track. Recently Played only updated
when a track was manually skipped past halfway.

The player now stashes the finished pipeline's real duration at gapless
swap (LastPlayedDuration), and the drain path reads the live player
duration while it is still on the finished track; metadata stays as
fallback. Stopping playback also counts like skipping: a track past the
threshold lands in history before teardown.
The invisible 50%-listened gate made Recently Played feel random: only
completed or late-skipped tracks landed, with no indication why early
skips were dropped. Local history now mirrors actual listening — every
track left via skip, stop, or natural end is recorded. Provider
scrobbles and Lua track_scrobble events keep the 50% convention so
server-side play counts stay Last.fm-compatible.
Re-listening to a track that is already in Recently Played now moves
its entry to the top with a fresh timestamp (merging richer metadata)
rather than appending a duplicate row. The list therefore shows
distinct tracks in listen order, not play counts. The 5-minute
dedupWindow special case is subsumed by the move-to-top behavior.
History files written before move-to-top dedupe can contain repeated
paths. Collapse them on load, keeping the newest occurrence, so
Recently Played shows distinct tracks immediately; the next write
persists the cleaned list.
Recording happened when a track was left (skip/stop/finish), so after
pressing next the list still showed the previous song. Move local
history recording to beginPlaybackTrack, which every start path
explicit play, gapless advance, auto-advance flows through: the
current song tops Recently Played as soon as it starts. maybeScrobble
now handles only provider scrobbles and Lua events.
- Batch the Recently Played refresh with >/< track navigation
- Refresh the provider pane after local playlist writes only when Local
  is the active provider, so remote panes never get unrelated fetches
- Require localProvider != nil in the provider-mode 'p' help predicate
- Let fbCommitAndRefresh defer pane refresh to fbTracksResolvedMsg for
  resolver-based commits instead of fetching before tracks are written
- Document Recently Played rename/delete restrictions and the exact
  file-browser D precedence; fix duplicate list numbering
