## Deployment And Verification
- The project task deploys the records app:
```bash
mise run presto # deploy and reset
```
```bash
mise run presto
```
Manual deployment:
- Manual deployment copies `records_on_the_day.py` to the device as `main.py`:
```bash
mpremote fs cp records_on_the_day.py :main.py
mpremote fs cp secrets.py :secrets.py
mpremote reset
```
```bash
mpremote fs cp records_on_the_day.py :main.py
mpremote fs cp secrets.py :secrets.py
mpremote reset
```
Syntax check (no `__pycache__`):
- Before finishing Python edits, run a syntax-only check that does not leave `__pycache__` behind:
```bash
python3 -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('records_on_the_day.py', cfile='/tmp/records_on_the_day.pyc', doraise=True)"
```
```bash
python3 -c "import py_compile; py_compile.compile('records_on_the_day.py', cfile='/tmp/records_on_the_day.pyc', doraise=True)"
```
- Do not claim device behavior is verified unless it was tested on the physical Presto.

## Hardware And Runtime Constraints
- Target stock Pimoroni Presto firmware: MicroPython, PicoGraphics, touch driver, `urequests`, `ntptime`, and usually `jpegdec`.
- Presto hardware is RP2350B, but stock firmware should be treated as a single Python runtime. Do not assume `_thread` or user-accessible multicore support.
- Keep memory pressure low. Avoid large in-memory image buffers, aggressive caching of large responses, and repeated `gc.collect()` in hot render paths.
- Network calls are blocking. Avoid doing HTTP requests during drag scrolling or repeated redraw loops.

- Treat as single-threaded. Do not assume `_thread` or user-accessible multicore.
- Keep memory pressure low: no large in-memory buffers, no aggressive response caching, no `gc.collect()` in hot render paths.
- Network calls (`urequests`) are blocking. Never make HTTP requests during drag scrolling or inside repeated redraw loops.
## Records App Behavior
## State Management
- Boot should land on today's records, not the month calendar.
- The Back button returns from day view to month view.
- Month and day headers should share the same header geometry: height, button dimensions, side margins, and centered title/date positioning.
- Day rows show cover art, title, artists, and a dim metadata line of `format | year`.
- `release_date` is displayed as year only.
- Text shown with bitmap fonts should pass through `display_text()` to replace unsupported punctuation such as smart dashes and quotes. Do not strip diacritics; the font can render them.
## Image Handling
- Prefer `micro_cover_url`, then `mini_cover_url`, then `thumb_url`.
- Keep `THUMB_SIZE` aligned with the micro image size when possible.
- Cache downloaded thumbnail bytes on the record dict as `_thumb_data`.
- Keep the placeholder-while-dragging behavior. Decoding JPEGs during drag was too slow on device, even with micro covers.
- Repaint real covers after the finger is released.
- Do not call `gc.collect()` per row draw. Collect after record preparation, after API fetches, or at other non-hot-path points.
- JPEG is the practical default on stock firmware. PNG generally has worse memory characteristics, and raw/RGB565 should only be attempted after confirming a stable on-device blit API.
- Every view state (`STATE_STARTUP`, `STATE_MONTH`, `STATE_DAY`, `STATE_RECORD`) must be handled in `redraw_current_view()` for correct display sleep/wake.
- When transitioning into a view, reset its scroll offset to 0 so it always starts at the top.
- When adding a new state, update `main()` globals, `redraw_current_view()`, the main loop dispatch, and any related state cleanup on navigation.
## Scroll Performance
- The scroll hot path must not measure text, join artist lists, sanitize strings, calculate full content height, or fetch images.
- After fetching records, call the preparation path that caches:
- `_display_title`
- `_display_artists`
- `_display_meta`
- `_thumb_url`
- `_row_height`
- total `_content_height`
- Preload only `micro_cover_url` thumbnails before the first day-view draw. Do not eagerly fetch larger fallback images.
- Drag scrolling should remain pixel-based, but redraws should be throttled by both time and pixel delta (`DRAG_REDRAW_MS`, `DRAG_REDRAW_PX`).
- Preserve any pending drag delta on touch release and redraw once with real covers if the view moved.
_These rules apply to any scrollable view (day list, detail page, or future additions)._
## Layout Details
- The scroll hot path must not: measure text, join strings, sanitize text, compute layout heights, or fetch images over the network.
- Pre-compute and cache all display strings and dimensions after data arrives and before the first draw.
- Throttle drag redraws by both time (`DRAG_REDRAW_MS`) and pixel delta (`DRAG_REDRAW_PX`). Preserve pending delta on touch release and redraw once.
- Each scrollable view gets its own offset variable and its own content-height cache. Never reuse one view's scroll state for another.
- If the view has a fixed header, use `display.set_clip()` / `display.remove_clip()` to prevent scrollable content from drawing over it.
- Use named constants for pixel geometry instead of scattered literals.
- For record rows, keep cover top and bottom spacing visually symmetric:
- `ROW_PAD_Y` is the padding above and below the cover.
- `ROW_SEPARATOR_H` is the separator line height after the bottom padding.
- If row spacing looks wrong on device, reason in terms of inclusive pixel drawing: a separator drawn inside the padding visually consumes that padding.
## Image Handling
- Row thumbnails prefer `micro_cover_url``mini_cover_url``thumb_url`. Detail/large cover prefers `thumb_url``mini_cover_url``micro_cover_url`.
- Cache downloaded image bytes on the record dict. Use separate cache keys for different sizes (e.g., `_thumb_data` for rows, `_detail_thumb_data` for detail view). Never fetch images during drag — show placeholders instead and repaint real covers on release.
- JPEG is the practical default. PNG has worse memory characteristics; raw/RGB565 needs a confirmed stable blit API on the target firmware.
## Text Rendering
- All user-visible text shown with bitmap fonts must pass through `display_text()` to replace unsupported punctuation (smart quotes, dashes, ellipsis). Do not strip diacritics — the font can render them.
- `release_date` is displayed as year only (first 4 characters).
## Layout
- Use named constants for all pixel geometry. No scattered literals.
- Keep header geometry consistent across views: same height, button dimensions, and side margins.
## Display Sleep
- The display sleeps by setting the backlight to `0.0`; the app and WiFi stay running.
- The first touch after sleep should wake the backlight and be consumed so it does not also activate a control.
- On wake, check WiFi and reconnect only if it dropped.
- Sleep by setting backlight to `0.0`. WiFi stays enabled.
- The first touch after sleep must wake the backlight and be consumed it must not also activate a button or trigger a scroll.
- On wake, only reconnect WiFi if the connection dropped.
## API Contract
The records endpoint is:
```text
```
GET https://music-library.claudio-ortolina.org/api/v1/collection/on_this_day?date=YYYY-MM-DD
Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>
```
Expected record fields used by the app:
- `title`
- `artists`
- `format`
- `release_date`
- `micro_cover_url`
- `mini_cover_url`
- `thumb_url`
Fields used by the app: `title`, `artists`, `format`, `release_date`, `genres`, `record_type`, `purchased_at`, `micro_cover_url`, `mini_cover_url`, `thumb_url`.
When adding or changing API assumptions, update `README.md`.

The Presto client prefers `micro_cover_url` for the 40×40 row thumbnail, then falls back to `mini_cover_url` and `thumb_url`.
The detail view prefers `thumb_url` for the full-size cover, falling back to `mini_cover_url` and `micro_cover_url`.
