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
image and compose project "canon"
- 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
- Existing topdeck.db (and WAL files) is renamed to canon.db on start
- README: upgrade notes, including moving the old compose volume
