Design for collapsing the Artists|Albums tabs into one artist-centric row,
surfacing each similar artist's newest AND most-popular (Last.fm) album inline,
album-click → AlbumModal tracklist, artist name → full page (drop the Discover
ArtistModal). Approved design; implementation plan next.

Design language + Phase 1 plan (design system + app shell + home page).
Comp signed off. Liner Notes / record-label identity, chrome-only
metaphor, manila+spruce palette, Fraunces/mono, state-as-form.

Follow-up to slice 3: a read-only artist preview page keyed by MBID, reachable from
suggested artists, suggested albums, and Find-similar results. Shows discography,
lazy per-album tracklists, own-state badges; Follow (reuse /api/artists) + Want
(new /api/discover/want upsert). Web-side MB reads only, no worker changes.

Spotify similarity/new-release APIs are dead for new apps (Nov 2024 + Feb 2026),
so discovery is built on ListenBrainz similar-artists (MBID-native) behind a
pluggable SimilaritySource interface. Manual review feed of similar artists +
albums; Follow/Want reuse slice-2 operations, Dismiss is permanent. Off by default.
