## Upload/runtime fallback update (2026-05-12)

- Added a visible top-bar `Choose audio` affordance in addition to whole-app drag/drop.
- Fixed the default hidden state of the error banner so placeholder errors are not shown on page load.
- API errors now surface request path/status/detail in the visible banner and pipeline logs.
- `/api/config` now includes runtime diagnostics for optional separation backends.
- If Spleeter is unavailable, the simple UI keeps the app usable by switching to full-mix mode; backend fallback also uses full-mix rather than silently launching Demucs.
