+## The music bar's queue popup: broken on desktop, unclosable on mobile
+
+Two reports that turned out to be the same missing `position` rule.
+`.musicBarQueue`'s own comment already said it should "pop up ABOVE the
+bar" (like `Player.css`'s `.settingsPanel` above its gear button), but
+the CSS itself never actually gave it a `position` on desktop at all -
+a plain normal-flow block, first child of `.musicBar`. Toggling it
+visible didn't float anything; it pushed `#musicBarPanel` (the actual
+transport controls) out of the way, growing `.bottomStack`'s own
+fixed-to-viewport box from the bottom up - reported directly as the
+player looking broken the moment the queue was opened.
+
+Mobile had a different-looking but related bug. `#musicBarPanel`
+becomes a full-screen `position: fixed` overlay under 720px; a normal-
+flow `.musicBarQueue` sibling would have rendered *behind* it, so it
+had already been given `position: relative; z-index: 26` specifically
+to still show on top once opened from inside that full-screen panel
+(see the git history for that rule's own reasoning). That's a real fix
+for visibility, but not for layout: `position: relative` leaves an
+element sized and placed by normal flow, which put the queue somewhere
+in the middle of the screen rather than covering it - directly
+overlapping the very `#toggleQueueBtn` used to open it, the only way
+that existed to close it again. Reported directly as "can't be closed."
+
+Fixed with a `position` on both sides, matching each context's actual
+shape - `.musicBar` gets `position: relative` (a containing block),
+desktop's `.musicBarQueue` becomes `position: absolute; left: 0;
+right: 0; bottom: 100%` (floats directly above the bar, out of normal
+flow, without touching `#musicBarPanel`'s own layout at all), and
+mobile's becomes `position: fixed; inset: 0` (a proper full-screen
+overlay of its own, `max-height: none` overriding the base rule's
+`50vh` so it isn't clipped) - the same "size for what this context
+actually needs" as `#musicBarPanel`'s own fixed/inset:0 treatment right
+next to it.
+
+Also added, so closing it never again depends on precisely where the
+toggle button happens to render underneath: a dedicated `#queueCloseBtn`
+inside the queue's own header, plus a click-outside-closes listener on
+`document` (`views/player/Player.ts`'s own `settingsPanel` pattern) for
+the desktop popover case.
+
+Verified: full `typecheck`/`build` (client only). No Emby session here,
+so checked directly - `initMusicBar` called against a synthetic
+`.bottomStack`/`#musicBar` reproducing the real Shell markup, real
+compiled CSS, a fake queue list: on the (real, 1280px) desktop viewport,
+opening the queue landed its bottom edge exactly on the bar's own top
+edge (zero gap, zero overlap) without moving the bar at all, and both
+the close button and a click on unrelated page content behind it closed
+it correctly. On a 375px-wide `<iframe>` (this sandbox's own
+`resize_window` viewport emulation is unreliable - see the mobile-nav/
+music-UI/library-grid sections above), with the now-playing panel
+opened first: the queue rendered as a genuine full-viewport overlay,
+`elementFromPoint` at the close button's own center hit the close button
+itself (not something on top of it), and closing the queue correctly
+returned to the still-open now-playing panel rather than closing
+everything.
