Third round of the multi-artist report. The earlier fixes (Deezer contributors
upgrade, _artists_list, feat_in_title/artist_separator) were all in place and
correct — but gated on source == 'deezer', and on the real Search → Download
Now path NOTHING carried the source: core/search/sources.py serialized tracks
with no source field, search.js's enrichedTrack didn't add one, so
get_import_source() resolved '' and the whole Deezer-specific block silently
skipped. Files were tagged with only the primary artist until a Retag (which
rebuilds context with the source set — exactly why retagging always fixed it).
The earlier tests passed because they set context['source'] directly — the one
field the real flow never had (same mock-drift as the #823 append tests).
Reproduced with Netti93's exact track (deezer 3966840171) through the real
extract_source_metadata: before — source '', artists ['August Burns Red'];
after — source 'deezer', contributors fetched, artists ['August Burns Red',
'Polaris'], title 'Sonic Salvation (feat. Polaris)' per feat_in_title.
Fix, three layers:
- core/search/sources.py: serialized tracks/albums/artists carry "source"
(the canonical name the orchestrator already passes; '' when unnamed).
- core/imports/context.py get_import_source: also reads '_source' from the
nested dicts (track_info/original_search/album/artist) — additionally fixes
the discography/wishlist flows, which always passed '_source' that nothing
read.
- search.js: enrichedTrack + the album-download path carry source through to
the download task.
Tests: real-payload staging-shaped contexts (source in track_info, '_source'
shape, and the pre-fix sourceless shape staying safe — mocked Deezer client),
serializer source-field tests, resolver fallback tests; exact-shape serializer
tests updated for the new key. 1977 import/metadata/search tests pass (the
only 2 failures are the known soundcloud ones).
- pass release metadata through album search normalization
- surface release format, country, label, and disambiguation in React import cards
- add coverage for search normalization and import route rendering
Three drifts caught in line-by-line review against the pre-lift
web_server.py. All addressed for strict 1:1 behavior parity.
1. /api/enhanced-search/source/<src> now returns plain JSON
`{"artists":[],"albums":[],"tracks":[],"available":false}` (or
`{"videos":[],"available":false}` for youtube_videos) when the
source's client isn't available, matching the original endpoint
contract. Previously streamed an NDJSON `{"type":"done"}` line
instead.
Restructured by splitting the orchestrator into resolve+stream
helpers:
- `resolve_client(source_name, deps)` — already existed, used
for /api/enhanced-search single-source mode
- `resolve_youtube_videos_client(deps)` — new, returns the
soulseek_client.youtube subclient or None
- `stream_metadata_source(source_name, query, client)` — pure
NDJSON generator, caller resolves client first
- `stream_youtube_videos(query, youtube_client, run_async)` —
same shape for the yt-dlp path
The route now decides plain-JSON-vs-stream based on resolution
result, mirroring the original control flow exactly.
2. core/search/library_check.py — reverted the defensive `(x or '')`
and `getattr(plex_client, 'server', None) is not None` patterns
to original byte-for-byte (`x.get('name', '')`,
`plex_client.server`, no try/except around `get_plex_config`).
Lift PR shouldn't change crash semantics; if the original raises
on malformed input, mine should too. Pre-existing edge cases get
their own follow-up PR.
3. core/search/stream.py — same revert: `soulseek_client.youtube`
instead of `getattr(..., 'youtube', None)` etc.
Also removed the module-level `EMPTY_SOURCE` from sources.py and
moved its (per-call) duplicate into _fan_out_response as a local —
the original used a per-request local dict and the identity-check
behavior depends on that. Module-level was a footgun for future
mutations.
789 tests still pass (95 search), ruff clean.
Routes moved to thin parse-args/jsonify handlers; logic now lives in
six focused modules under core/search/. 720 lines deleted from
web_server.py; 109 added back as wrappers; ~700 lines of new core code
plus ~700 lines of tests.
Module split:
- core/search/cache.py — TTL+LRU cache for enhanced-search responses,
keyed by (query, active_server, fallback_source, hydrabase_active,
source_tag) so config changes don't poison stale entries.
- core/search/sources.py — per-kind metadata search (artists/albums/
tracks) and the multi-kind ThreadPoolExecutor that fans them out.
- core/search/library_check.py — library + wishlist presence check
with Plex thumb URL resolution; profile-aware wishlist with legacy
fallback for older DBs missing the profile_id column.
- core/search/stream.py — single-track preview search; effective stream
mode resolution, query-variant generation, retry walk, matching
engine integration.
- core/search/basic.py — flat Soulseek file search, quality-sorted.
- core/search/orchestrator.py — main enhanced-search dispatch
(short-query fast path, single-source bypass, hydrabase-primary fan
out, alternate source list builder), NDJSON streaming generator
for /source/<src>, and the SearchDeps dataclass that bundles the
cross-cutting deps.
Routes pass clients (spotify, hydrabase, hydrabase_worker, soulseek)
and helpers (config_manager, fix_artist_image_url,
_is_hydrabase_active, _get_metadata_fallback_*, _run_background_
comparison, run_async, dev_mode_enabled_provider) into core/search via
a SearchDeps bundle built per-request. fix_artist_image_url stays in
web_server.py because it touches 31 other call sites.
Behavior preserved 1:1:
- Same response shapes (db_artists, spotify_artists, spotify_albums,
spotify_tracks, primary_source, metadata_source, alternate_sources,
source_available)
- Same NDJSON line ordering (artists/albums/tracks as they finish, plus
done marker)
- Same per-kind exception swallowing
- Same hydrabase-worker mirror on dev mode
- Same cache key shape (5-tuple) and TTL/LRU semantics
- Same stream-track effective-mode resolution including the
Soulseek-coerce-to-YouTube edge case
- Same library-check Plex thumb URL rewriting and wishlist fallback
for older DBs
Tests: 94 new (cache TTL/LRU/key, sources happy/partial/all-fail,
library presence with library + wishlist + thumbs, stream effective
mode + query gen + retry, orchestrator client resolution + short
query + single source + fan-out alternates + hydrabase primary +
NDJSON drain). Full suite: 788 passing (was 694).
Ruff clean.
