+"""Shared dataclasses for the download-plugin contract.

+Every download source returns the same shape for search hits and
+download status — the four classes here are the canonical types
+that the ``DownloadSourcePlugin`` Protocol exchanges. Living in
+this neutral module (rather than ``core/soulseek_client.py`` where
+they grew up by accident) means a new plugin doesn't have to import
+from a sibling source just to satisfy the contract.
+
+Move history: extracted from ``core.soulseek_client`` so plugins

+        { title: 'Internal: Move Shared Download Dataclasses + Singleton Boot Path', desc: 'internal — two architectural cleanups on top of the download engine refactor. (1) `TrackResult`, `AlbumResult`, `DownloadStatus`, `SearchResult` lived in `core/soulseek_client.py` for historical reasons (they grew up there as the soulseek-only types and got exported when other download sources were added). every plugin imported these from the soulseek module just to satisfy the contract — coupling 8 clients to a sibling source for type imports only. moved them to `core/download_plugins/types.py` (the neutral plugin package) and updated all 14 import sites across deezer/hifi/lidarr/qobuz/soundcloud/tidal/youtube clients + the engine + matching engine + redownload + tests. clean break, no backward-compat re-export. (2) `web_server.py` now boots the orchestrator via `set_download_orchestrator(DownloadOrchestrator())` so the singleton factory + boot path share state — `get_download_orchestrator()` returns the same instance the global handle points at instead of lazily building a separate one. matches cin\'s `get_metadata_engine()` pattern.' },
         { title: 'Internal: Rename `soulseek_client` Global → `download_orchestrator`', desc: 'internal — followup cleanup. the global handle in web_server.py was named `soulseek_client` for historical reasons (the orchestrator was originally just the soulseek client and grew downstream sources around it), but the type has long been `DownloadOrchestrator` not `SoulseekClient`. renamed the global + every parameter/attribute that carried the legacy name across web_server.py, api/, core/downloads/*, core/search/*, core/streaming/*, services/sync_service.py, and the test fixtures (`MasterDeps.soulseek_client` → `download_orchestrator`, `init(soulseek_client_obj)` → `init(download_orchestrator_obj)`, etc). module path `core.soulseek_client` and class `SoulseekClient` (the actual soulseek-only client) are unchanged — only the orchestrator handle renamed. ~250 references touched, suite green.' },
         { title: 'Internal: Drop Backward-Compat Per-Source Attrs', desc: 'internal — followup to cin\'s download engine review. removed the `orchestrator.soulseek` / `.youtube` / `.tidal` / `.qobuz` / `.hifi` / `.deezer_dl` / `.lidarr` / `.soundcloud` attribute aliases that were preserved for backward compat. external callers (core/downloads/, core/search/, web_server.py) all migrated to the generic `orchestrator.client(\'<source>\')` accessor — alias-aware (legacy `deezer_dl` resolves to canonical `deezer`), single source of truth via the registry. the orchestrator\'s own internal `self.soulseek` / `self.deezer_dl` reaches also routed through `client()` so the only place that knows about per-source identity is the registry. test fakes updated to expose `client(name)` instead of stuffing attributes; conformance test pinned to the new accessor contract. zero behavior change — just cleaner shape.' },
         { title: 'Internal: Download Engine Review Followup', desc: 'internal — three correctness fixes on top of the download engine refactor, all flagged in cin\'s pr review. (1) `engine.cancel_download(source_hint=\'deezer_dl\')` was silently routing deezer cancels to soulseek because the legacy alias never made it to the engine\'s plugin map — only the registry knew about it. fix: aliases now flow through `register_plugin` and `get_plugin` / `cancel_download` resolve them to the canonical name. (2) `_resolve_source_chain` filtered hybrid_order against canonical registry names only, so any user with `deezer_dl` in their config quietly dropped deezer from hybrid mode. fix: orchestrator normalizes through `registry.get_spec()` first. (3) the worker\'s terminal write was a read-then-write split — a cancel landing between the snapshot and the update could be overwritten back to errored / completed. fix: new atomic `update_record_unless_state` on the engine holds `state_lock` across the check + write; both `_mark_terminal` AND the success path use it now. also added generic `client(name)` / `configured_clients()` / `reload_instances(name?)` accessors on the orchestrator + a `get/set_download_orchestrator()` singleton matching cin\'s `get_metadata_engine()` shape, and migrated 30 external `soulseek_client.<source>` reaches in web_server.py to `client("<source>")`. 18 new tests pin every fix.' },
