chore: release v0.2.3

Wrapping overflow:hidden + ellipsis on the parent flex container
clipped the favourite star whenever the monitor name was long enough
to truncate. Move the truncation rules onto a new inner span around
the name text only, and add flex-shrink:0 to the badge so it always
renders in full.

+## MCP Tools: code-review-graph
+
+**IMPORTANT: This project has a knowledge graph. ALWAYS use the
+code-review-graph MCP tools BEFORE using Grep/Glob/Read to explore
+the codebase.** The graph is faster, cheaper (fewer tokens), and gives
+you structural context (callers, dependents, test coverage) that file
+scanning cannot.
+
+### When to use graph tools FIRST
+
+- **Exploring code**: `semantic_search_nodes` or `query_graph` instead of Grep
+- **Understanding impact**: `get_impact_radius` instead of manually tracing imports
+- **Code review**: `detect_changes` + `get_review_context` instead of reading entire files
+- **Finding relationships**: `query_graph` with callers_of/callees_of/imports_of/tests_for
+- **Architecture questions**: `get_architecture_overview` + `list_communities`
+
+Fall back to Grep/Glob/Read **only** when the graph doesn't cover what you need.
+
+### Key Tools
+
+| Tool | Use when |
+|------|----------|
+| `detect_changes` | Reviewing code changes — gives risk-scored analysis |
+| `get_review_context` | Need source snippets for review — token-efficient |
+| `get_impact_radius` | Understanding blast radius of a change |
+| `get_affected_flows` | Finding which execution paths are impacted |
+| `query_graph` | Tracing callers, callees, imports, tests, dependencies |
+| `semantic_search_nodes` | Finding functions/classes by name or keyword |
+| `get_architecture_overview` | Understanding high-level codebase structure |
+| `refactor_tool` | Planning renames, finding dead code |
+
+### Workflow
+
+1. The graph auto-updates on file changes (via hooks).
+2. Use `detect_changes` for code review.
+3. Use `get_affected_flows` to understand impact.
+4. Use `query_graph` pattern="tests_for" to check coverage.

-## v0.2.1 (2026-04-25)
+## v0.2.3 (2026-05-01)
 
-A small polish release on top of the Studio Reference redesign — accent picker fix,
+### UI / Player
-visualizer performance work, and a couple of layout refinements for tablet and
+
-small-desktop widths.
+- Square the vinyl stage (`1:0.85` → `1:1`) and pin the tonearm to `height: 36%` instead of `aspect-ratio: 1` so its vertical span tracks the stage on resize. Refines the geometry shipped in v0.2.2. ([d27484a](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/d27484a))
+- Brighten the tonearm SVG: lighter pivot/arm gradient stops, thicker stroke widths, stronger cartridge highlight. ([d27484a](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/d27484a))
+- Tilt the sleeve `-2deg` so it reads as resting on the disc rather than rectilinearly composed. ([d27484a](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/d27484a))
 
 ### Bug Fixes
-- **Accent picker** now wired to the editorial copper palette + visual polish ([f4be2bd](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/f4be2bd))
 
-### Performance
+- **Displays:** keep the primary-display star visible on long monitor names. Move `overflow: hidden` + ellipsis off the parent flex container onto a new inner span, and add `flex-shrink: 0` to the badge so the favourite indicator no longer gets clipped when the model name truncates. ([372e4eb](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/372e4eb))
-- **Visualizer** — significant CPU cuts on spectrum rendering and track switches ([51ec150](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/51ec150))
