Release Notes: v0.9.26​

1. Stash Mixes (Beta) Opt-Out​

• Added a toggle in Settings to disable Stash Mixes background processes.
• Disabling cancels background workers (refresh, discovery, discovery download, tag enrichment, and track info enrichment).
• Hides Daily Discover, Deep Cuts, and First Listen sections from Home and Library interfaces without deleting previously downloaded discovery tracks.
• Re-enabling restores recipes, playlists, schedules workers, and triggers an immediate surface refresh.

2. Library Albums Tab Enhancements & Schema Migration​

• Resolved issues preventing downloaded albums from grouping under album cards.
• Fixed missing album fields on Search-tab downloads and missing artist fields on the Album-page tracklist parser.
• Database Schema Bump (v24 -> v25): Added an album_artist column to ensure multi-artist collaboration albums stay grouped under a single card while identical album titles by different artists remain separated.
• Implemented a one-shot startup backfill that populates missing album and album_artist metadata from embedded file tags or local directory structures automatically upon launch.

3. Download Performance Optimization​

• Moved loudness measurement (ffmpeg ebur128 pass) off the critical download path into a background scope. Files are marked as downloaded as soon as they hit disk, and loudness database writes execute asynchronously.
• Wrapped upsertSearchTrack in a runCatching block to resolve a database exception bug, ensuring the UI download spinner clears reliably upon completion.
