/playlists is the new page of every public playlist, newest first (GET /api/playlists), and /playlists/<slug> a playlist category's, with a menu of the categories, linked from the user menu as "All playlists"; `playlists` is reserved as a dump category's slug, and one that had it is renamed. A profile's Playlists tab narrows to a playlist category with the same menu as its Dumps tab (?category=), and so do the Dumps and Playlists tabs of /search, each with its own kind (category and playlistCategory for GET /api/search), another tab dropping it.
The category service takes the kind throughout, so a dump can't be filed under a playlist category nor the other way round, and categoryJoin is the one filter join the dump, follow and playlist services share. useCategories(kind) gives one kind's set from the one fetch, CategoryChips replaces the chips the dump card and page each drew, useCategoryFilter keeps a list to its category as the socket brings more, and useCategorySelection holds a form's picked categories.

Validation: the dump validators refuse the nulls their shared types don't allow (a null title or note on creation, a null URL on edit); a playlist title of spaces is refused and titles are stored trimmed; usernames and emails are checked by the same USERNAME_RE and EMAIL_RE in shared/validation.ts on sign-up, on PATCH /api/users/me (which checked other limits) and in the sign-up form. Mentions are read by shared/mention.ts's mentionedUsernames, which skips code and URLs as Markdown shows them: https://mastodon.social/@bob or a `@bob` in code notified bob; the editor's suggestions derive their trigger from the same pattern instead of a copy. Following an unknown user is a 404 rather than a foreign-key 500, and following a private playlist a 404 rather than a 403 that confirmed it exists. `ws` and `emojibase` are reserved category slugs, since the server answers them before the app. GET /api/users/me no longer turns every error into a 500.
Dead code goes: adminOnlyMiddleware, verifyEmailTransport, listUsers, deleteUser with disconnectUser and the force_logout message only it sent, PATCH /api/notifications/:id/read (with markOneRead), isSlugAvailable, the unreachable 500 in fetchComment, and the `if (!ctx.state.user)` checks behind authMiddleware. 214 backend and 627 frontend tests pass.
