+# 17 Voyage with real content — report
+
+Status: **done** (not committed). Built from `17-voyage-real-brief.md`, starting from a copy of 16.
+
+## What was built
+
+`src/mockups/17-voyage-real/` is 16 unchanged on the stage (look 2, Inter labels, frieze accents, five
+beats, stylised 3D, combined paths, fan works placeholders). Only the content side changed. URL params
+are as in 16, plus **`?read=1`**, which opens About's Odyssey reading view for the first song (used for
+screenshots).
+
+- **`content.ts`** (new) reads the mounted folder at runtime:
+  - `loadLibrary()` fetches `/content/library.json` before the panel is built (top-level await, 4 s
+    timeout). A 404 or a failure means "not mounted".
+  - `realFor(song)` matches a sample song to the library by normalised title. Case, accents,
+    apostrophes and punctuation are ignored. A miss is logged once and does not crash.
+  - `loadLyrics()` parses `.lrc` files with `parseLrc` (`src/shared/lrc.ts`) and splits `.txt` files
+    into plain lines. `loadBook()` fetches `/content/homer/odyssey/<n>.json`. Both are cached.
+  - It also holds the keywords that mark each song's passage, `passageStart()`, and a footnote-marker
+    stripper for Gutenberg's inline note numbers.
+  - Only types are imported from `src/content/`.
+
+1. **Real player** (`player.ts`, `panel.ts`).
+   - The `<audio>` element is real and sits hidden in the panel's DOM. Play/pause, elapsed time and
+     total time all come from the element, and the scrub bar seeks it (click, drag, ←/→ ±5 s).
+   - While the song plays, the clock is read every animation frame, so the highlight moves smoothly.
+     `timeupdate` alone fires only about 4 times a second.
+   - A seek made before the metadata has loaded (`?t_play`) sets the start position and is applied
+     again once the metadata arrives.
+   - The saga cover is a 56 px square in the player card. The card is sticky at the top of the tab, so
+     the controls stay put while the lyrics scroll under it.
+   - With real audio, the "Preview player" note, the part segment buttons and the part ticks are gone,
+     because the sample's part times are invented and would be wrong against the recording.
+   - The header play button and its eyebrow ("Playing · 1:00 / 3:36") use the real clock.
+   - If the file fails to load, the player drops back to the simulated clock and the tab re-renders
+     as 16.
+2. **Line-synced lyrics.**
+   - The `.lrc` lines are shown in serif italic, with empty LRC lines drawn as a faint `· · ·` break.
+   - The current line has a terracotta wash, an ink outline and bold type, and lines already sung turn
+     iron-soft. The match leads the timestamp by 0.15 s.
+   - **Keeping the line in view.** The current line is smoothly scrolled to about a third of the way
+     down the space below the sticky player, once per line change.
+   - **The reader's own scrolling wins.** A wheel, touch, scrollbar drag or keyboard scroll in the view
+     pauses following for 4 s. After that the lyrics catch up on the next line. Seeking or clicking a
+     line resumes following at once.
+   - **Click-to-seek.** Clicking a line seeks to its timestamp and plays. The timestamp appears in the
+     gutter on hover or focus.
+   - **Plain `.txt` lyrics** are shown unsynced, with the note "These lyrics are not timed, so they do
+     not follow the song".
+   - **Missing or failed lyrics** each get a one-line note.
+   - **Parts and motifs.** Part headings are gone from the lyrics. A compact summary above them reads
+     "Parts: Verse 1 · Verse 2", followed by the motif chips (the motif pick works as before) and "From
+     the sample data, not yet timed to the recording".
+3. **The Odyssey passage.**
+   - About's Odyssey row now reads "Book IX". The line ranges are dropped because the prose has no line
+     numbers.
+   - The **Read the passage →** button replaces About with a reading view, which has "← Back to About",
+     the book heading, Butler's summary line, the Roman-names note and the paragraphs.
+   - **Where the passage starts.** The view opens at the first paragraph that mentions the song's
+     keyword and puts a meander rule before it: "The passage for Polyphemus begins here · first mention
+     of 'Cyclops'". Keywords are highlighted in the text.
+   - **Earlier paragraphs.** "Show the 13 paragraphs before this passage" expands the whole book and
+     scrolls to the rule. If no keyword is found, the view starts at the beginning of the book.
+   - The text ends with "End of Book IX · Project Gutenberg #1727".
+   - **Keywords (Butler's spelling).**
+     - Horse and the Infant: horse (VIII, Demodocus).
+     - Full Speed Ahead: Cicons / Ismarus.
+     - Warrior of the Mind: Minerva (XIII).
+     - Polyphemus: Polyphemus / Cyclops.
+     - Survive: olive (the stake).
+     - Remember Them: rams.
+     - My Goodbye: "put your eye out" (the taunt).
+     - Storm: Aeolus.
+     - These are content guesses, the same as the sample's `TODO(verify)` references.
+4. **Fallback.** Without `CONTENT_DIR` the page behaves like 16: the simulated player, placeholder
+   lyrics by part, and the Gutenberg link. The player note starts with **"Content folder not mounted."**,
+   and the end of About has a small "Content folder not mounted" note. `body[data-content]` is
+   `mounted` or `missing`.
+5. **Voyage play.** It stays **silent: no excerpts**. Beats hold for 3.4 s, so an excerpt would be a
+   jarring audio stab, and starting sound without a click is close to the autoplay the brief rules out.
+   As in 16, moving to a new song loads that song stopped at 0:00. The old `<audio>` element is removed.
+   A song that is playing keeps playing while the beat changes but the song stays the same (Landfall →
+   Curtain).
+
+## Screenshots (1440×900, `screenshots/`)
+
+- `17-voyage-real-listen.png`: beat 3, Listen & lyrics, `?t_play=60`. It is playing at 1:00 / 3:36,
+  with the cover, the current line lit and kept in view under the sticky player.
+- `17-voyage-real-odyssey.png`: Polyphemus, Book IX reading view, opened at the first "Cyclops"
+  paragraph.
+- `17-voyage-real-nocontent.png`: served without `CONTENT_DIR`. It shows the simulated player, the
+  "Content folder not mounted" note and the placeholder lyrics.
+- `17-voyage-real-nocontent-about.png`: About without content (Gutenberg link and the note).
+- `17-voyage-real-beat1.png`: the Troy frieze, with About's "Book VIII · Read the passage →".
+- `-txt.png` was skipped. No sample song (tracks 1–10) maps to a `.txt` lyric; in the library only
+  Scylla and two others outside the sample do.
+
+The credits footer is fully visible in every one.
+
+## Verified
+
+- `bun test` (64 pass), `bun run typecheck` (clean) and `bun run build`. The scratchpad build was
+  served on port 4117 with and without `CONTENT_DIR`.
+- A CDP script drove headless Chrome against the real server, with no virtual time:
+  - The real FLAC loads (`readyState` 4, duration 216 s).
+  - After the header play click, `currentTime` advances (2.94 → 4.95 s over 2 s).
+  - A scrub click at 50 % seeks to 109.4 s.
+  - Clicking a lyric line stamped 1:08 seeks there, and that line becomes current.
+  - A range request on the audio URL returns `206 bytes 1000000-1000099/42425888`.
+  - Following keeps the current line 249 px down a 520 px view.
+  - After a user scroll to the top, the view stays at 0 for 2.5 s, then follows again by 7.5 s.
+  - Moving to beat 5 swaps the element to Survive, stopped.
+  - The reading view (Survive → "olive", 20 earlier paragraphs) expands to all 44 paragraphs, and Back
+    returns to About.
+  - The console has no errors; the only message is a three.js warning inherited from 16.
+
+## What doesn't, or is rough
+
+- **Parts and motifs are not time-aligned.** Later, each part could get a `startSec` (the type already
+  has it), or better, an LRC line index, by marking the first line of each part once per song. That
+  could be a small JSON sidecar in the content folder, keyed by song, mapping part → first line index;
+  the line's timestamp then gives the time. Motifs could be stamped the same way, with a line range
+  per motif. With that, the player could show "Verse 2" again, put the part ticks on the scrub bar, and
+  light motif chips as they sound.
+- **Keyword starts are approximate.** The Polyphemus passage opens where the Cyclops comes home, not
+  at the landing on the island (the first "Cyclopes", 8 paragraphs earlier). My Goodbye's Homer
+  counterpart is debatable. The keywords should be confirmed with the content work.
+- Butler's summary line is in capitals from the source, and contains a doubled dash ("—-").
+- Headless virtual time does not run the audio clock, so `?t_play` screenshots show the seek point,
+  not real progress. Real progress was checked over CDP instead.
+- Library loading delays the panel by one request (fast locally). A slow server would hold the panel
+  for up to 4 s before it falls back.
+- Desktop 1440×900 only. The `.txt` path is implemented but has not been seen on screen.
