The current dashboard shows basic stats (total items, wanted/downloaded/owned counts) and a simple queue summary. It needs to be significantly more useful as the "command center" of Shanty.

Requirements

Download progress section — show individual downloads in progress with their status. Ideally with a progress bar per download (this may require adding progress reporting to the download backend — yt-dlp supports --progress output).
Per-task detailed views — instead of just "task type: index, status: Running", show:
- Indexing: "Scanning: 234/1000 files processed"
- Tagging: "Tagging: 12/50 tracks matched"
- Organizing: "Organizing: 45/100 files moved"
- Downloading: "Downloading: 3/14 tracks complete"
This requires the backend to report granular progress on background tasks. The TaskInfo struct should include an optional progress field (e.g., { current: 45, total: 100 }).
Consolidated action buttons — all major actions should be accessible from the dashboard:
- "Sync from Watchlist" (currently only on Downloads page)
- "Process Download Queue"
- "Re-index Library"
- "Auto-tag Tracks"
- "Organize Files"
- The "Set Sail" mega-button (see separate issue)
Keep copies of relevant buttons on their respective pages too (e.g., sync/process on Downloads).

Acceptance Criteria

Dashboard shows individual download items with status
Background tasks show granular progress (current/total)
All action buttons are accessible from the dashboard
Dashboard auto-refreshes to show progress updates

Dependencies

Backend: TaskInfo needs a progress field
Backend: download progress reporting

The current dashboard shows basic stats (total items, wanted/downloaded/owned counts) and a simple queue summary. It needs to be significantly more useful as the "command center" of Shanty. ### Requirements 1. **Download progress section** — show individual downloads in progress with their status. Ideally with a progress bar per download (this may require adding progress reporting to the download backend — yt-dlp supports `--progress` output). 2. **Per-task detailed views** — instead of just "task type: index, status: Running", show: - **Indexing**: "Scanning: 234/1000 files processed" - **Tagging**: "Tagging: 12/50 tracks matched" - **Organizing**: "Organizing: 45/100 files moved" - **Downloading**: "Downloading: 3/14 tracks complete" This requires the backend to report granular progress on background tasks. The `TaskInfo` struct should include an optional `progress` field (e.g., `{ current: 45, total: 100 }`). 3. **Consolidated action buttons** — all major actions should be accessible from the dashboard: - "Sync from Watchlist" (currently only on Downloads page) - "Process Download Queue" - "Re-index Library" - "Auto-tag Tracks" - "Organize Files" - The "Set Sail" mega-button (see separate issue) Keep copies of relevant buttons on their respective pages too (e.g., sync/process on Downloads). ### Acceptance Criteria - [ ] Dashboard shows individual download items with status - [ ] Background tasks show granular progress (current/total) - [ ] All action buttons are accessible from the dashboard - [ ] Dashboard auto-refreshes to show progress updates ### Dependencies - Backend: `TaskInfo` needs a progress field - Backend: download progress reporting
