docs: changelog for 1.1

Polish release covering Android navigation and offline resilience, download
accuracy for stylised artist names, and the lrclib lyrics-throttling fix.

Also updates the parity matrix (single-song offline downloads, player bar on all
screens) and corrects the Windows media-tile known bug — the two-element gapless
handoff was kept for skip speed, not reverted as the entry claimed.

+## [1.1] — 2026-07-19
+
+Polish release: Android navigation and offline resilience, download accuracy for artists with stylised names, and a fix for the lyrics outage caused by lrclib rate-limiting.
+
+### Added
+- **Android** — Mini player is now visible on every screen (album, artist, playlist detail), not only the top-level tabs; the tab bar stays top-level-only
+- **Android** — Song search results (local library) got the 3-dot context menu: play, insert next / queue, add to playlist, favorite, go to album, song info, download
+- **Android** — Artist images in the Apple-Music (Erkunden) search: iTunes artist entities carry no artwork at all, so each artist now borrows the cover of one of their albums; a person icon replaces the empty grey circle where none is found
+- **Web + Android** — Playlist cover art is shown in the "add to playlist" picker, so playlists are identifiable at a glance
+- **Web** — "Now playing" scrobble is sent at track start (`scrobble?submission=false`), so Navidrome shows the current track while it plays instead of only on completion
+
+### Fixed
+- **Web + Android** — Lyrics stopped loading entirely: a burst of requests (prefetch + the 4-request cascade + fast skipping) got the client IP throttled by lrclib, so every lookup hung until it timed out. Fixed with per-song in-flight de-duplication, a prefetch debounced to 1.5 s after track start, a descriptive User-Agent, and a longer 8 s timeout
+- **Android** — App lag and stutter while scrolling and switching tabs: `coverArtUrl()` and `streamUrl()` built a fresh Ktor `HttpClient` for every cover-art request and never closed it — heavy allocation and GC churn. Both now reuse the cached client
+- **Android** — Star / favorite gave no visual feedback: a global `StarState` now flips the icon optimistically the moment it's tapped (everywhere it appears) and rolls back if the API call fails
+- **Android** — Back from an Erkunden (Apple) artist or album jumped straight to Home. Those screens are in-screen overlays on the `erkunden` destination and their `BackHandler` lost back priority to the NavHost, which popped the whole tab. Back is handled at the app root now: album → artist, artist → search
+- **Android** — The Erkunden artist's "show all albums" view was lost when drilling into an album and back (it lived in local `remember` state); the open section now lives in the ViewModel and survives both route and overlay round-trips
+- **Android** — Album back-navigation from a local artist returned to the collapsed artist page instead of the "all albums" view it was opened from
+- **Android** — The mini player sat behind the phone's gesture/navigation bar on detail screens, where there is no tab bar to absorb the system inset
+- **Android** — The download sheet for new songs and the song context sheet opened only half-expanded, hiding the download button behind the system navigation bar until dragged up; both open fully now
+- **Android** — The Offline tab was blocked by the online library's loading spinner, so downloads were unreachable while the library loaded or the server was unreachable. It reads from the local Room DB and now loads independently
+- **Backend (download)** — Artist lookups ignored leading aesthetic punctuation (e.g. `.diedlonely`), so the iTunes match missed, fell through to a title-only match, and grabbed an unrelated same-titled track — whose wrong duration then also misled the YouTube search filter. Leading non-alphanumeric characters are trimmed before lookup
+- **Backend (metadata)** — The metadata editor showed "[Unknown Album]" where the library shows "Singles": tracks downloaded without an album had no album tag written at all. The album tag now always gets a value (defaulting to `Singles`), and file resolution falls back to `findExistingTrack` for stale or rebased paths
+- **Web** — Now Playing showed a stale cover after rapid skips
+- **Web** — Home row scroll arrows caused layout thrash while scrolling: arrow visibility is a rAF-throttled class toggle now, with `getBoundingClientRect()` only on resize / content change
+
+### Changed
+- **Android** — Favorite is a heart everywhere; the Now Playing screen still used a star
+- **Android** — Playlist detail actions are uniform, equal-width and icon-only (play / shuffle / edit / download). Since the offline-download button was added, four buttons shared one row and the Play/Shuffle labels were being clipped away
+- **Android** — The "add to playlist" search field matches the styling of the other search bars
+- **Web** — Track switching uses a gapless hand-off between two `<audio>` elements, making skips effectively instant (it does not fix the Windows media-tile flicker — see Known Bugs)

 ## [1.0] — 2026-06-25
 
 🎉 **First stable release.** NovaSonic is feature-complete across web (PWA) and Android: streaming, lyrics, artist pages, playlists, importer/downloads, Audiobookshelf, and — new in this release — full offline downloads on Android. Further work lands as point releases.

 ### Known Bugs
-- **Web (PWA, desktop)** — The Windows media tile (SMTC) briefly closes and reopens when skipping tracks. Swapping the `<audio>` element's source leaves a momentary gap with no active media output, so Windows tears down and rebuilds the tile. A real fix needs one continuous source (MSE), which requires streaming an MSE-compatible format. The native Android app is unaffected. (A two-element gapless handoff was tried and reverted — switching elements still ends/starts the OS session.)

(The two-element gapless handoff added in 1.1 makes skips effectively instant but does **not** fix this — switching elements still ends and restarts the OS session.)
 - **Backend (download)** — The duplicate check requires at least a `firstArtist` folder match. If the same song was previously stored under a very different artist name (e.g. before an iTunes-name fix), it will not be detected as a duplicate and will be re-downloaded.
 - **Backend (metadata/sorting)** — MusicBrainz `release['artist-credit']` is often absent in the standard recording search response (requires `inc=artist-credits` which can slow the endpoint). The albumArtist field from MusicBrainz autofill may fall back to the recording artist rather than the release artist.
 - **Backend (metadata/sorting)** — MBIDs are not embedded in downloaded tracks; Navidrome cannot use them for authoritative album grouping (low priority — album splitting is mostly solved via consistent `album_artist`).
