 ### Fixed
 - **Input-setup wizard no longer collapses an audio device's driver-type variants into one entry.** On Windows the desktop engine enumerates the same interface once per host API (ASIO / Windows Audio / DirectSound), and the wizard's audio picker (`plugins/input_setup/screen.js`) de-duped the source list by display **label** — so the variants (which share a name) collapsed to a single choice, silently keeping whichever sorted first (often *not* the low-latency ASIO one the player wants). The audio-input capability already collapses true duplicates by `logicalSourceKey` (`_visibleInputSources` in `static/capabilities/audio-session.js`), and the variants each have a **distinct** key, so the wizard's extra label-collapse was redundant for real dupes and destructive for these — it also could drop the variant that was actually `selected`. Removed it; the picker now lists every selectable input. Pairs with feedBack-desktop's change to label each source with its driver type (e.g. "Focusrite (ASIO)") so the now-distinct entries are legible.
+- **3D Highway FPS counter no longer hides behind the v3 "Up Next" pill.** The on-highway FPS readout (Settings → Graphics → 3D Highway → Show FPS counter) is pinned to the top-right of the highway overlay — the same corner the v3 player chrome stacks its persistent **Up Next** pill and live-performance HUD into, on a higher layer that paints over the canvas. So the readout sat *behind* that chrome and couldn't be read — precisely when a tester had turned it on to judge performance (it also made the separate "Up Next won't turn off" complaint worse, since the default-on pill covered the counter regardless). The counter now stays top-right but drops just **below** whichever of that chrome is showing: `highway_3d`'s `screen.js` measures the lowest visible top-right v3 HUD element (`#v3-upnext` / `#v3-live-performance-hud` / `#hud-time`) and floors the FPS box's Y beneath it. Element refs are resolved once and cached (no per-frame `querySelector`, per the plugin perf rules) and only consulted while the counter is actually drawn; gated on `window.feedBack.uiVersion === 'v3'` so the classic (v2) UI is byte-for-byte unaffected. `plugins/highway_3d/plugin.json` version → `3.30.1` (cache-buster). (For reading raw perf numbers unobstructed, the core perf HUD — `localStorage.highwayPerfHud='1'` — still renders above all chrome and additionally shows the adaptive render-scale.)
 - **v3 Songs grid now refreshes after a Settings rescan / DLC-folder change — no app restart needed.** On a fresh install, pointing at a DLC folder in Settings and running a scan left the Songs section empty until a restart (the scan *did* populate the library — `_background_scan` re-reads `config.json` fresh — but the v3 grid never reloaded). The Settings **Rescan / Full Rescan** handlers only refreshed the classic (v2) library via `loadLibrary()`; the v3 grid (`static/v3/songs.js`) had no listener for a scan it didn't start itself (only its own upload path self-refreshed via `watchUploadScan`), so its cached, pre-DLC (empty) DOM/snapshot survived a sidebar return until a full reload. The rescan handlers now emit a **`library:changed`** event (`static/app.js`); the v3 grid listens and **reloads if it's the active screen, else marks itself dirty** so the next entry does a full re-fetch instead of restoring the stale snapshot (a `_libraryDirty` short-circuit ahead of every cached-DOM fast-path in `onV3SongsScreenEnter`). Tests: `tests/js/v3_library_refresh.test.js` (the emit + the reload/dirty wiring).
 - **Edit Metadata modal: the Year is now editable.** You could set a year when authoring a pak but the Songs → Edit Metadata modal had no Year field, so it could never be changed afterward. The backend (`POST /api/song/<f>/meta`) already accepted and normalized `year` (writes it into the file via `songmeta`, survives a rescan) — only the UI omitted it. Added a **Year** input to `openEditModal()` (populated from the song's existing year) and included `year` in `saveEditModal()`'s POST body (`static/app.js`). Both the v3 card menu and the legacy edit button already pass the year through, so both surfaces get the field.
 - **Edit Metadata modal no longer closes when a click-drag is released on the backdrop.** Selecting text inside a field and releasing the mouse past the modal's edge dismissed the form without warning (the `click` event's target resolved to the backdrop), discarding the edit. Backdrop dismissal now requires the **mousedown to have started on the backdrop** too — tracked per-modal and decided by a new pure `_editModalShouldClose(clickTarget, modalEl, downOnBackdrop)` helper (`static/app.js`). Cancel / ✕ still close on a normal click. Tests: `tests/js/edit_metadata_modal.test.js` (year in the POST body + the backdrop-close decision table).
