Entries now sit at places 1…max with gaps allowed (#28, nothing at #29,
#30). Moving onto an empty place just puts the entry there; onto a taken
place, the entries in between shift one step, stopping at the first
empty place, so lists without gaps reorder exactly as before. Inserts
push down only to the next gap; deleting can close up or leave the place
empty. New endpoint POST /api/lists/{id}/places inserts or removes empty
places or closes every gap; move and delete reply with every entry's
place. The podium shows an empty step for an empty #2 or #3, and a list
can't shrink below its last used place.
The editor loads every entry (no paging) and applies edits instantly
with the same rules (places.js mirrors places.go), queueing saves in the
background and reconciling with the server's reply. Type a place and
press Enter (↑/↓ move between boxes, Alt+↑/↓ moves the entry), drag, or
use the row menu. Empty runs show as rows with Add here and Remove, and
a toolbar shows the gap count, Close gaps and a Go to # box. Clicking an
entry opens it for editing.

Settings → Privacy can set a password for the whole public site. Until a
visitor enters it, every public page shows a prompt over a blurred
made-up page, and images, preview clips and exports return 401; nothing
real is sent. Unlocking sets a 90-day cookie derived from the password
hash, so changing the password asks everyone again. The owner is never
asked while signed in. Wrong guesses are rate limited, and a locked site
sends noindex.

- Each list picks a style in List settings (new lists default to Podium);
existing lists keep Grid or List
- Podium: top 3 on medal-colored steps (#1 center and raised), the rest
behind a native <details> "Show N more"; stacks #1 over #2/#3 on phones
- Spotlight: #1 as a feature card (art, why-note or description, play
button), the rest as a numbered list
- Visitors can switch styles on a list page (?style=), preserved across
pages; later pages fall back to a plain list since they don't start at #1
- Entries' detail data now lives on a wrapper per list, so featured and
collapsed entries all open the detail view

Search
- Albums and songs search Deezer and MusicBrainz at once and merge the
results: duplicates keep the Deezer copy, best word matches first.
Deezer's search misses albums it carries (Death Magnetic) and most game
soundtracks; MusicBrainz finds them
- MusicBrainz secondary types are shown ("Soundtrack", "Live")
- Settings: Deezer + MusicBrainz (default), Deezer only, MusicBrainz only
- Search results show which service they came from
Previews
- Songs and albums get a play button (cards, rows, detail view, editor,
and Deezer search results) for a 30-second Deezer clip; albums play
their most popular track
- Clips are looked up fresh (Deezer URLs expire), cached 10 minutes, and
streamed through Canon with Range support; hidden lists stay private
- Entries from MusicBrainz or added by hand are matched to Deezer on save
so they can preview too
- "Play previews" toggle in Settings → Profile
Tests cover merging and title/artist matching; `-tags live` runs checks
against the real services.

- Module github.com/cdnutter/canon, binary/command cmd/canon, Docker

- Environment variables now use the CANON_ prefix
- Default site title is "<Your name>'s Canon" (or "Canon" with no name);
a Site title set in Settings still overrides it
