Summary

Release 0.5.3: the four open requests from the community. Every song at about the same loudness (#32), Home shelves you can hide (#31), cloofy in the app menu on Linux (#30), and a YouTube Music sign-in that survives the browser going on using it (#26).

• fix(ytmusic): read a sign-in YouTube stopped taking from the browser again
  • I am often signed-out from Youtube account #26: a browser that keeps using its sign-in gets new cookies for it, and the copy cloofy took goes stale after a day or two. The sign-in now keeps which browser it came from and whose it is, as comments in cookies.txt (# cloofy-browser:, # cloofy-user:). When account/account_menu answers without an account, cloofy has yt-dlp export that browser's cookies again, once per run, tries them, and keeps them only if they sign in the same account; otherwise the message of The message "youtube doesn't accept the saved sign-in any more..." goes away too quickly #27 shows as before. Library requests wait for that check, so they go out with the new cookies.
  • Sign-ins made with 0.5.2 or older, and pasted Cookie headers, name no browser: they behave as before until cloofy login ytmusic --force.
• feat: normalize volume, hidden shelves, cloofy in the app menu on Linux
  • Audio Settings #32 Normalize volume: a switch under Playback, normalize_volume in config.toml, off by default. Spotify uses the gain it measured per track; the librespot fork gets Player::set_normalisation and always works out the factor, so the switch reaches the track that plays (parda21/librespot@5f30142, on cloofy). YouTube Music gets mpv's loudnorm at -14 LUFS, added and removed while mpv runs, and from the start for an mpv started later. No EQ.
  • YouTube Music Home: let me hide and reorder shelves ("Covers and remixes" is always first) #31 Hide this shelf: in the menu of anything on a Home shelf, on both services; kept by title as hidden_shelves. Hidden shelves on the Settings page shows them all again. Reordering shelves is not in here.
  • Ship a desktop entry (and icon) on Linux outside Omarchy #30 App menu: cloofy launcher install|remove writes cloofy.desktop (Terminal=true) and the icon to ~/.local/share, and leaves an entry or icon of the user's own, and Omarchy's launcher, alone. The installer runs it on Linux outside Omarchy, --uninstall takes it out. The Linux release archives carry both files, and the AUR packages install them to /usr/share.
  • README, the settings, install and YouTube Music docs.
• chore: version 0.5.3: workspace version and Cargo.lock.
• chore(release): 0.5.3: the CHANGELOG section dated 2026-11-12, with its compare link.

Fixes #26. Fixes #30. Fixes #32. Part of #31 (hiding; reordering stays open).

Evidence

• Scenarios: normalizing_the_volume_reaches_every_player, a_hidden_shelf_stays_away_until_settings_brings_it_back.
• Unit tests: mpv gets and loses the filter, also one started later (normalizing_reaches_the_mpv_that_runs_and_the_one_after, with a real mpv); the launcher's entry, an entry and icon of the user's own, Omarchy's launcher; where a sign-in came from survives its file and a renewal; cookies read again must be the same account's; hidden shelves go by title.
• cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings and cargo test --workspace --locked for all four feature sets (both, spotify, ytmusic, none), under dbus-run-session with CLOOFY_REQUIRE_MPV=1 CLOOFY_REQUIRE_DBUS=1: all pass. packaging/check.sh and shellcheck install.sh pass, desktop-file-validate takes the entry. The librespot fork's librespot-playback tests pass.
• YouTube Music's online catalog tests (--test live -- --ignored), signed out: 5 of 5.
• The loudness filter measured with ffmpeg's ebur128 on pink noise at -9.5, -18.4 and -28.5 LUFS: loudnorm brings all three to the same level, where dynaudnorm by peaks left them 14 LU apart. About 1 % of a core in mpv. Turning it on and off in mpv while an Opus file plays keeps the position.
• The installer end to end in an archlinux container (no Omarchy), from an archive packed as release.yml does, through CLOOFY_RELEASE_URL: installs cloofy 0.5.3 (ytmusic), adds the entry and the icon, a second run keeps them, --uninstall removes both.

Not tested: the renewal of #26 against a real stale sign-in (it needs an account whose cookies went stale; the cause is inferred from how browsers rotate YouTube's cookies), how loudnorm sounds on music, the release.yml change itself, and anything on macOS, which CI builds.

Merge Danger

• Door: One-way once v0.5.3 is tagged: the tag publishes the GitHub release and pushes the Homebrew formulas and AUR packages.
• Blast Radius: Everyone who updates. New behavior by default: Linux installs get a desktop entry, and a signed-in YouTube Music asks account/account_menu once before its first library request and may run yt-dlp on the browser's cookies again. Normalization and hidden shelves only once someone uses them. Linux archives gain two files; older cloofys update from them unchanged, as they unpack only cloofy.

Walkthrough

This release adds volume normalization, Home shelf hiding and restoration, YouTube Music cookie renewal, and Linux app-menu launcher support. It updates packaging, configuration, documentation, and release metadata for version 0.5.3.

Changes: Playback normalization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Normalization setting and preferences crates/cloofy-core/src/config.rs, crates/cloofy-tui/src/preferences.rs, crates/cloofy-tui/src/app/settings.rs	Configuration and TUI preferences add volume normalization. The setting appears under Playback and updates active players.
Player normalization wiring crates/cloofy-tui/src/backend/*, crates/cloofy-player/src/lib.rs, crates/cloofy-ytmusic/src/player/mod.rs, crates/cloofy/src/spotify/playback.rs	The normalization preference reaches Spotify and YouTube Music players. YouTube Music adds or removes its mpv loudness filter when the setting changes.
Normalization validation and documentation crates/cloofy-tui/src/scenarios/playback.rs, crates/cloofy-ytmusic/src/player/mod.rs, README.md, website/src/content/docs/docs/settings.md	Tests cover setting changes and filter behavior. The documentation describes the setting and its configuration.

Home shelf controls

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shelf context action crates/cloofy-tui/src/overlay.rs, crates/cloofy-tui/src/app/menu.rs	Home context menus add “Hide this shelf” when a target includes a shelf title.
Hide and restore Home shelves crates/cloofy-core/src/home.rs, crates/cloofy-tui/src/views.rs, crates/cloofy-tui/src/app/settings.rs, crates/cloofy-tui/src/app/mod.rs	Home filters shelves by trimmed, case-insensitive title. The setting updates current and historical views, and cached whole Home views can restore hidden shelves.
Shelf behavior tests crates/cloofy-core/src/home.rs, crates/cloofy-tui/src/scenarios/playback.rs	Tests cover shelf matching, persistence across Home reloads, and restoration.

YouTube Music cookie renewal

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Sign-in origin persistence crates/cloofy-ytmusic/src/account.rs, crates/cloofy-ytmusic/src/innertube.rs	Saved sign-in text records optional browser and YouTube user identifiers. Parsing also supports sign-ins without origin notes.
Cookie renewal and account matching crates/cloofy-ytmusic/src/auth.rs, crates/cloofy-ytmusic/src/innertube.rs	Renewal rereads cookies from the recorded browser and checks the account before replacing saved cookies. Pasted-cookie sign-ins have no browser origin.
Session checks and renewal orchestration crates/cloofy-ytmusic/src/lib.rs, crates/cloofy-ytmusic/src/library.rs, README.md, website/src/content/docs/docs/youtube-music.md	The session checks sign-in status and attempts renewal when eligible. Documentation describes the browser-cookie refresh behavior.

Linux launcher and release

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Launcher install and removal behavior crates/cloofy/src/launcher.rs, crates/cloofy/src/main.rs, crates/cloofy/src/omarchy.rs	A Linux command installs or removes cloofy-owned launcher files. Existing Omarchy and other unowned entries are preserved.
Launcher installation and packaging install.sh, integrations/linux/cloofy.desktop, .github/workflows/release.yml, packaging/aur/*/PKGBUILD, README.md, website/src/content/docs/docs/install.mdx	The installer and packages add launcher support. Linux release archives include the desktop entry and icon.
Version and release records Cargo.toml, CHANGELOG.md, vendor/librespot	The workspace version and changelog advance to 0.5.3. The vendored librespot reference changes.

Merge Risk: High · previous review aa90d

This release does not build on macOS: the new launcher command leaves Linux-only code unguarded. YouTube Music cookie renewal can keep cookies for a different account that shares a display name. It is skipped when YouTube refuses the sign-in with an HTTP error, and older in-flight responses can overwrite the renewed cookies. Fix the macOS build and tighten renewal before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "cloofy 0.5.3" names only the project and version. The changeset does bump the workspace version to 0.5.3 in Cargo.toml and adds a 0.5.3 changelog entry, so the title refers to a real part of the change. However, it does not name the main changes (YouTube Music cookie renewal, volume normalization, hideable Home shelves, Linux launcher), so it is overly broad and does not highlight the primary change. It is not misleading or off-topic, and it is not vague in the sense of "misc updates".

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#26] The PR keeps the browser origin and YouTube account ID in cookies.txt comments. When account/account_menu returns no account, the PR re-exports that browser's cookies once per run and keeps them only if they authenticate the same account. Library requests wait for this check. Unit tests cover origin persistence, renewal, and the same-account rule. The issue has no explicit acceptance criteria. Real-world effect against a stale sign-in is not tested, as the PR states. [#30] cloofy.desktop (Terminal=true) and the icon are added by cloofy launcher install|remove, the installer, and the Linux archives and AUR packages. Uninstall removes them. Tests cover entry metadata and preservation of user-owned and Omarchy launchers. [#32] A normalize_volume switch is added under Playback and saved to config.toml. Spotify uses librespot per-track gain via the fork (vendor/librespot bump). YouTube Music uses mpv loudnorm, added or removed while mpv runs. Scenario test normalizing_the_volume_reaches_every_player covers this. EQ is not required and is not included.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Hidden Home shelves (Home::without_shelves, HomeView::hide_shelves, HideShelf menu action, Settings 'Hidden shelves' entry, hidden_shelves config key, and the scenario a_hidden_shelf_stays_away_until_settings_brings_it_back) do not implement any requirement of the linked issues #26, #30, or #32. The PR describes this work as 'Part of #31', but #31 is not a linked issue for this PR. The change set is therefore not connected to the linked requirements. The version bump, CHANGELOG, README, and docs changes support the release and the linked features. The vendor/librespot bump supports #32. The release.yml archive change and the Omarchy launcher refactor support #30.

Resolution

Remove the hidden-shelves changes from this PR and deliver them in a separate PR linked to #31. Or link #31 to this PR as a directly linked issue so its requirements apply. Then reassess scope. Update the CHANGELOG and PR description to match the chosen scope.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @crates/cloofy-tui/src/app/mod.rs:
- Around line 1034-1036: Apply the current normalization preference whenever a
player becomes ready: replace the conditional in the player initialization flow
with an unconditional update using `self.prefs.normalize`, matching the
crossfade handling.

Review comments at @crates/cloofy-tui/src/app/settings.rs:
- Line 150: Update the shelf preference handling around the view iteration in
Settings so hide and restore changes apply to parked services’ Home views as
well as the shown and historical views. Add a helper in browsing.rs that
restores each parked Home view from that parked service’s own cache, and use it
when restoring shelves; do not use the shown service’s home_cache for parked
views.

Review comments at @crates/cloofy-tui/src/views.rs:
- Line 464: Update hide_shelves so filtering shelves does not discard an
in-flight chip request: preserve and restore the existing fallback and loading
state around the set_home call, allowing chip_failed to restore the previous
filter if the request fails.

Review comments at @crates/cloofy-ytmusic/src/auth.rs:
- Line 287: Update same_account so automatic renewal succeeds only when both
accounts have a stable identifier, such as a UC browse ID or handle, and those
identifiers match. Treat missing identifiers or a display-name fallback as
insufficient proof, leaving saved cookies unchanged and requiring sign-in again.

Review comments at @crates/cloofy-ytmusic/src/innertube.rs:
- Line 130: Update Auth::save to return persistence failures from Secret::read
or Secret::write and clear dirty only after a successful save; propagate that
failure from renew so renewal does not report success when credentials were not
persisted.
- Line 129: Update the request cookie flow in request, headers, and keep_cookies
to associate each response with the jar generation used to build its request.
Increment the generation when renew replaces auth.jar, and have keep_cookies
discard response cookies if that generation is no longer current, preserving
cookie updates for requests using the current jar.

Review comments at @crates/cloofy-ytmusic/src/lib.rs:
- Around line 139-140: Update the authentication flow around `session.asked`,
`signed_in()`, and `ask()` so a later authentication refusal during a
long-running session can trigger one renewal attempt even after the initial
check; preserve the existing limit of one attempt per refusal and normal
behavior when authentication remains valid.
- Line 114: Update the handling of `library::asked(api).await` so HTTP 401 and
403 errors follow the existing `Ok(None)` browser-cookie renewal path instead of
returning early. Preserve propagation of all other API errors, using the
existing error representation to identify authentication-refusal statuses.

Review comments at @crates/cloofy/src/main.rs:
- Line 193: Add a separate Linux target guard to the Omarchy dispatch arm in the
command match, while leaving the Launcher arm available under its existing
platform configuration. Ensure the Omarchy arm is excluded on macOS, where
Command::Omarchy and omarchy are unavailable.

Review comments at @crates/cloofy/src/spotify/playback.rs:
- Line 29: Update the Engine::new calls used by both the play and connect
commands to pass the configured saved normalization preference instead of
hard-coding normalization off; preserve the existing session, duration, and
other constructor arguments.

Review comments at @integrations/linux/cloofy.desktop:
- Line 7: Update Launcher::install to generate the user-local entry’s Exec value
from the running binary’s absolute path, escaping and quoting it according to
Desktop Entry syntax so paths containing spaces or percent signs work. Keep the
packaged ENTRY template’s generic Exec value unchanged.

Review comments at @website/src/content/docs/docs/youtube-music.md:
- Line 58: Update the YouTube Music sign-in guidance to clarify that sign-ins
saved before 0.5.3 or created from a pasted Cookie header lack a browser origin
for renewal; tell those users to run cloofy login ytmusic --force once with a
browser to enable renewal.

Do not accept a display name as proof of the same account.

If two accounts have the same name and their account-menu responses contain neither a UC browse ID nor a handle, library::parse_me uses that name as User.id. If the browser switches accounts at the saved index, same_account accepts the second account and Line 280 persists its cookies. Require a stable account identifier for automatic renewal; otherwise leave the saved cookies unchanged and require sign-in again.

Review addressed in 7156891:

• Fixed: normalize applied whenever a player starts; parked Home pages on hide and restore; a pending mood request survives a hide; renewal only for an account told by its channel or handle; late responses no longer write over renewed cookies; a failed save is retried; 401/403 from account_menu triggers renewal; a refusal later in a run makes the next library request ask again; cloofy play and cloofy connect follow the setting; the user's desktop entry starts cloofy by its absolute path; the docs say which sign-ins need --force.
• Kept as is: renewal still runs at most once per run, so a second expiry in the same run asks for a sign-in.

All four feature sets lint and test clean locally (323 tests).
