# Station Discovery & Browse Specification

## Purpose

Discovery content as the Buscar tab's landing state, active-filter pills,
results counter, clear-all-filters, the Países browser over the verified
`/json/countries` contract, and a client-side search-sort control. Traceable
to WU5 (relocation), WU6 (Buscar), WU7 (Países + `_get` transport
extraction).

## Requirements

### Requirement: Buscar Landing State Shows Discovery Content

Buscar MUST render the existing discovery content (near-you, genres,
trending, countries entry point) as its landing state whenever no search
query is entered. Entering a query MUST replace that landing state with
search results.

#### Scenario: Empty query shows discovery content

- GIVEN the user opens the Buscar tab with no prior query
- WHEN the screen renders
- THEN near-you, genre, trending, and a Países entry point are visible

#### Scenario: Entering a query replaces the landing state

- GIVEN the Buscar tab is showing discovery content
- WHEN the user types a non-empty query
- THEN discovery content is replaced by the search-results view

### Requirement: Active-Filter Pills and Results Counter

The search-results view MUST show each active filter (country, language,
minimum quality) as a removable pill, and MUST show a results counter
("N RESULTADOS").

#### Scenario: Applying a filter shows a removable pill

- GIVEN the user has an active search
- WHEN they apply a country filter
- THEN a pill labeled with that country and a close (x) affordance appears
- AND the results counter reflects the filtered count

#### Scenario: Removing a pill re-runs the search without that filter

- GIVEN a country filter pill is active
- WHEN the user taps its close affordance
- THEN the filter is cleared and results/count update accordingly

### Requirement: One-Tap Clear-All-Filters on Empty Results

When 1 or more filters are active and the resulting search has zero results,
the system MUST offer a single action that clears every active filter at
once ("Quitar los N filtros").

#### Scenario: Two active filters, zero results

- GIVEN country and quality filters are both active and yield 0 results
- WHEN the empty state renders
- THEN a "Quitar los 2 filtros" action is shown
- AND tapping it clears both filters in one action, not one at a time

### Requirement: Países Browser Over the Verified Countries Contract

The Países screen (new second-level screen) MUST fetch from
**`/json/countries`** (optional substring filter `/json/countries/{filter}`)
and MUST NOT use `/json/countrycodes`, which is deprecated. It MUST parse
the `stationcount` field as a **string** via `int.tryParse`, never as a
direct `int` cast. Its request MUST NOT include `lastcheckok`, since that
parameter is meaningful only for station-listing calls.

verified against <https://api.radio-browser.info/>.

#### Scenario: Countries list renders with counts

- GIVEN `/json/countries` returns a list of country objects
- WHEN the Países screen loads
- THEN "Tus idiomas" and the full alphabetical list render with each country's parsed station count

#### Scenario: `stationcount` arrives as a JSON string (edge case, critical)

- GIVEN a country entry has `"stationcount": "482"` (a JSON string, not a number)
- WHEN the screen parses and renders that entry
- THEN it displays `482` without throwing a type-cast error

#### Scenario: Countries request omits the station-only filter

- GIVEN the Países screen issues its `/json/countries` request
- WHEN the outgoing request is inspected
- THEN it does NOT include `lastcheckok`

### Requirement: Client-Side Search Sort Only

Buscar MUST expose an "Ordenar" control backed exclusively by client-side
ordering (`OrdenEmisoras`). The system MUST NOT adopt the Radio Browser
server-side `order`/`reverse` parameters for this control, because
server-side ordering sorts the full result set before `limit` is applied
while the app's client-side sort only reorders the page already fetched —
adopting it would silently change which stations users see, not just their
order. Every sort option rendered in the UI MUST map to a real
`OrdenEmisoras` case; the system MUST NOT render an option that does not
actually sort.
Source: Engram `reference/radio-browser-sort-order` (id 2505), verified
against <https://api.radio-browser.info/>.

#### Scenario: Selecting a sort option reorders the current page only

- GIVEN a set of search results is already fetched
- WHEN the user selects "Ordenar: calidad"
- THEN the currently-displayed page is reordered via `OrdenEmisoras.calidad`
- AND no new network request with an `order` parameter is issued

#### Scenario: Every rendered sort option is backed by a real case (regression guard)

- GIVEN the "Ordenar" control's rendered option list
- WHEN each option is checked against `OrdenEmisoras`
- THEN every option maps to an existing enum case with test coverage; no decorative option that does not sort is rendered

### Requirement: Existing Station Calls Unchanged by Transport Extraction

Extracting `_get`'s transport loop (server discovery, host rotation,
bounded retries, User-Agent, timeout, status check, `json.decode`) into a
shared helper for the Países call MUST NOT change the observable behavior
of the 8 existing `ServicioRadio` station methods: `obtenerPopulares`,
`obtenerTendencias`, `buscarPorNombre`, `buscarPorPais`, `buscarPorIdioma`,
`buscarPorTag`, `buscar`, `registrarClick`.

#### Scenario: Characterization tests pass unchanged before and after extraction

- GIVEN characterization tests exist for all 8 station methods
- WHEN the transport loop is extracted from `_get`
- THEN all 8 tests pass identically before and after the extraction

#### Scenario: Station calls still send `lastcheckok`

- GIVEN any of the 8 station methods issues a request
- WHEN the outgoing request is inspected
- THEN it still includes `lastcheckok=1`, unchanged from before the extraction
