feat(electron): system tray with playback controls - #361
Liner now shows a system tray icon. Its menu has Show Liner, Previous, Play/Pause, Next and Quit Liner. Clicking the icon brings the window back on Windows and Linux; on macOS the click opens the menu.
Why
There was no way to control playback or reach the app from the tray / menu bar.
How
electron/tray.ts: TrayController, built like ThumbarController. It follows the same player state from touchbar:update-state, disables the playback items until a track is loaded, and only rebuilds the menu when the play state changes.
electron/main.ts: creates the tray on ready, sends playback items through the existing overlay:action channel, and quits through shutdown.quit(). The tray is destroyed in the shutdown cleanup. The show / restore / focus logic from second-instance moved into revealMainWindow() so the tray reuses it.
electron/thumbar.ts: exports PLAYING_STATUSES so both controllers agree on what counts as playing.
Closing the window still quits the app; no close-to-tray behavior is added.
Testing
pnpm exec vitest run electron/tray.test.ts electron/thumbar.test.ts: all pass (new tests for menu state, routing, click behavior per platform, destroy).
pnpm lint, pnpm exec tsc -b: clean.
pnpm test: 50 failures in 7 src/ suites (auth, connectivity, player, shortcuts, youtube auth). They fail the same way on current main without this change.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added a system tray menu with options to show the app window, control playback, and quit the app.
Playback controls reflect the current track and play state, and track-dependent actions are unavailable when no track is loaded.
On non-macOS platforms, clicking the tray icon opens the app window.
Tray playback controls update as playback status changes.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
The main process now creates and updates a system tray controller. The tray provides window, playback, and quit actions. Main-window reveal logic is shared with second-instance handling, and shutdown destroys the tray.
Changes: Tray integration

Summary
Tray menu and playback behavior electron/tray.ts, electron/thumbar.ts, electron/tray.test.ts
TrayController creates a platform-sized tray and builds window, playback, and quit menu actions. Playback controls depend on track availability, and the menu updates when the derived playback state changes. Tests cover actions, platform-specific clicks, menu updates, and destruction.
Main-process tray and window wiring electron/main.ts
The main process creates and stores the tray controller, forwards player state, and destroys the tray during shutdown. A shared helper creates or reveals the main window for tray actions and second-instance handling.

Explanation
The title "feat(electron): system tray with playback controls" matches the main change. The PR adds a tray icon (electron/tray.ts, with TrayController and createTray) whose menu holds Show Liner, Previous, Play/Pause, Next, and Quit actions. The title names the tray and the playback controls, which are the core of the changeset. It is specific enough for a teammate scanning history to see the primary change. The title is a short, single sentence in conventional-commit form and contains no file lists, emojis, or vague terms.

Add a test for a track removed after playback starts.
The tray tests never move from a loaded track to track: null. The current code disables Previous, Play, and Next in that case. Without a test, a regression that ignores a null track would leave these items enabled and still pass the suite.
Add this case after the only rebuilds the menu when the play state changes test:
🧪 Suggested test
+ it("disables playback items when the track is removed", () => {+ const { controller, item } = setup();+ controller.update({ status: "playing", track: { id: "a" } });+ controller.update({ status: "idle", track: null });+ expect(item("Previous")?.enabled).toBe(false);+ expect(item("Play")?.enabled).toBe(false);+ expect(item("Next")?.enabled).toBe(false);+ });

Add a test beside the existing tray menu state tests that updates the controller
from a playing state with a loaded track to an idle state with track set to
null, then verifies Previous, Play, and Next are disabled. Use the existing
setup and item helpers.
The darwin test checks only that no click listener is registered. create() attaches the context menu on every platform, including darwin. A change that skips setContextMenu() on darwin would still pass this test. Asserting that the macOS menu contains Show Liner covers the menu path that macOS uses for interaction.
Suggested test change

- const { tray } = setup("darwin");+ const { tray, lastMenu } = setup("darwin");
expect(tray.listeners.has("click")).toBe(false);
+ expect(lastMenu().find((i) => i.label === "Show Liner")).toBeDefined();

Review comments at @electron/main.ts:
- Around line 572-581: Move the tray construction and tray update logic out of
the main process flow in `electron/main.ts` into `electron/tray.ts`. Keep the
existing `TrayController` callbacks and state-update behavior intact, and leave
`main.ts` responsible only for invoking the extracted tray setup and update
functions.
- Around line 582-587: Update the macOS darwin branch of the main window’s
closed handler to reset the tray after setting mainWindow to null, using the
idle state so stale playback controls and labels are cleared.
Review comments at @electron/tray.ts:
- Line 16: Remove the JSDoc above TrayDeps.showWindow and the two inline
comments in TrayController.create; use clear names or branches to convey any
necessary behavior without adding comments.
