999 2.0.0b3

999 2.0.0b3 makes Library maintenance easier to complete without hiding
important decisions or changing music files without confirmation.

Highlights

• Guided Library Maintenance refreshes the collection, summarizes its health,
  then walks through unresolved decisions one song at a time.
• Catalogue matching remains conservative. Ambiguous recordings are presented
  for the user to choose, and confirmed matches flow directly into a check for
  available lyrics.
• Add Lyrics opens the existing preview and confirmation flow. Backups,
  verification, and rollback safeguards remain in place for file changes.
• Song Details and More / Advanced use clearer contextual actions with arrow
  and Enter navigation. Items can be skipped or deferred; completed work is
  saved, and reopening Maintenance recomputes what remains.
• Catalogue outages stop repeated online matching attempts while preserving
  trusted identities and allowing local work to continue.
• Local Lyrics Search works offline across embedded MP3, FLAC, and M4A lyrics
  plus adjacent plain or timed LRC files. Timed results retain timestamps, and
  its local index reuses unchanged tracks.
• Expanded generated multi-format acceptance verifies Maintenance, lyric
  safety, skip/resume, and minimal work on repeated unchanged-library runs.

v2.0.0b2 and v2.0.0b1 remain available as fallback prereleases.

No PyPI publication was made. Install the recommended release with:

999 2.0.0b2

What's new

• Added offline Local Lyrics Search for embedded MP3, FLAC, and M4A lyrics and adjacent timed or plain LRC files. Timed LRC matches retain their timestamps.
• Added an incremental local lyrics index that reuses unchanged tracks and refreshes changed audio or LRC files individually.
• Improved the README with direct installation, troubleshooting, and fallback guidance.
• The previous v2.0.0b1 beta remains available as the immutable fallback.

999 2.0.0b1

999 2.0.0b1 beta

This is the first beta release of the redesigned 999 Linux CLI/TUI.

Highlights

• Makes 999 the primary command while retaining the juice-lyrics legacy alias and existing XDG namespace.
• Adds the keyboard-first Dashboard, Browse, Library, Downloads, Settings, and Help experience.
• Centers routine library work on Sync Library and focused Issues, Duplicates, Missing Library, manual matching, backup/restore, and metadata-repair views.
• Adds native MP3, FLAC, and M4A library discovery and format-aware metadata, lyric, status, backup, restore, and verification behavior.
• Uses adjacent atomic .lrc sidecars for synchronized lyrics and preserves conservative identity matching and manual locks.
• Adds explicit catalogue browsing and a durable, validated download queue with safe resume and atomic finalization.
• Adds read-only Doctor diagnostics and deterministic Bash, Zsh, and Fish completion generation.

Automated and live beta acceptance passed, including the 540+ test full-suite checkpoint, live Bandit (94107) and 10 Feet (94102) identity checks, a disposable download, and MP3/FLAC/M4A preservation checks. No release blocker was demonstrated.

Known non-blocking beta limitations

• Visual polish has not been exhaustively manually reviewed.
• Fish runtime validation was unavailable locally, although deterministic generation tests pass.
• Independent second-machine pipx testing has not occurred.
• Optional rmpc live notification was not fully exercised.
