music: pool single-album artists into shared rows

2026-09-16T14:07:06Z

An artist with one album got a heading and one cover on a row that fits five, and a library is mostly single-album artists. Consecutive singles share one grid, in place, so the page stays in artist order. Each pooled cover keeps its artist's name above it in the same type as a section heading. Dropping it was the first version and it was wrong: scrolling then alternates between artists written large and small. Measured on the probe's fixture: 4208px to 1895px, and a walk of the page reaches all 21 covers instead of 9. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5
