Real-world regression triggered by the album-bundle work earlier in
2.6.3. Tracks with full Spotify metadata were importing as
``01 - <title>`` under ``Artist - Album/`` (no year), even when the
source filename carried the correct track number and Spotify's
release_date was available.
Investigation via DB inspection of stored wishlist rows:
```
"Never Gonna Give You Up" → track_number=None, release_date=""
"idfc" → track_number=1, release_date=""
"No Sleep Till Brooklyn" → track_number=1, release_date=""
```
Source-of-truth Spotify metadata had release_date AND real track
positions, but the wishlist row was poisoned. Three regressions
compounded the loss:
**Fix A — ``track_object_to_dict`` (``core/wishlist/payloads.py:295``)
preserved only album.name during Track→dict conversion.**
Pre-fix:
```python
album_name = "Unknown Album"
if hasattr(track_object, "album") and track_object.album:
if hasattr(track_object.album, "name"):
album_name = track_object.album.name
else:
album_name = str(track_object.album)
result = {
...
"album": {"name": album_name}, # ← release_date / images / etc. all dropped
...
}
```
When a wishlist payload arrived as a Track dataclass instead of a
raw spotify_data dict, the Track→dict conversion stripped
release_date, images, album_type, total_tracks, id, and album-level
artists. Every wishlist row added through this path landed in the
DB with ``album={'name': X}`` only.
Post-fix: three branches handle the three album shapes
- ``album_attr`` is a dict → ``dict(album_attr)`` preserves every key
- ``album_attr`` is a sub-object → pull all common Album-dataclass
attrs (id, release_date, album_type, total_tracks, images, ...)
- ``album_attr`` is a bare string → build a dict from the track
object's adjacent attrs (release_date, album_id, album_type, ...)
and surface ``image_url`` as ``album.images``
**Fix B — ``core/discovery/playlist.py:309`` only added
``track_number`` / ``disc_number`` keys when truthy.**
Pre-fix:
```python
matched_data = { 'id': ..., 'name': ..., ... } # no track_number / disc_number
if track_number:
matched_data['track_number'] = track_number
if disc_number:
matched_data['disc_number'] = disc_number
```
Deezer-sourced matches always hit this branch with ``track_number=None``
because the cache enrichment at line 304 reads ``_raw.get('track_number')``
literally, but Deezer's raw shape uses ``track_position``. So the key
was omitted from ``matched_data``, downstream consumers couldn't
distinguish "missing key" from "value is 1", and the chain silently
filled 1.
Post-fix: keys are ALWAYS present (None when unknown). Also adds a
``best_match.track_number`` fallback so the Track-dataclass-mapped
value (which DOES include ``track_position``→``track_number``
mapping) gets used when the cache lookup misses.
**Fix C — Pipeline only consulted ``album_info.track_number`` before
falling to the filename (``core/imports/pipeline.py:645``).**
VA-collection source files like ``417 Fountains of Wayne - Stacys
Mom.flac`` have a leading playlist-position number that isn't the
album track number. The previous chain (album_info → filename →
floor-1) couldn't recover the real position because the filename
extractor either returned 417 (wrong) or None (caught by the floor).
But the wishlist payload's ``track_info.spotify_data.track_number``
HAD the right answer all along — Spotify says Stacy's Mom is track
3 on Welcome Interstate Managers.
Post-fix: resolution chain extracted into ``core/imports/track_number.py:resolve_track_number``
as a pure function:
1. ``album_info.track_number`` (album-bundle dispatch authoritative)
2. ``track_info.track_number`` (per-track flow payload)
3. ``track_info.spotify_data.track_number`` (nested fallback)
4. ``extract_explicit_track_number(file_path)`` (filename, returns
0 when no numeric prefix — vs the default helper that returns 1)
5. Caller (pipeline) applies the final >=1 floor
Each step coerces to a positive int or falls through to the next.
Pure function = unit-testable in isolation = single place to fix
the rule.
**Test coverage (37 new tests):**
- ``tests/wishlist/test_payloads.py`` (+4) — Track→dict conversion
preserves full album dict (dict / object / string album shapes) +
None-track-number stays None.
- ``tests/discovery/test_discovery_playlist.py`` (+2) — matched_data
always includes track_number/disc_number keys (None when unknown)
+ falls back to best_match attrs when cache misses.
- ``tests/imports/test_track_number_resolver.py`` (+16) — every
resolution-chain branch pinned: album_info-wins, track_info
fallback, spotify_data nested, JSON-string parsing, garbage-string
fall-through, zero / negative / non-numeric / string-numeric
coercion, filename fallback, explicit extractor vs default
extractor semantics, defensive None inputs, VA-collection
filename behaviour, all-sources-missing → None.
1571 wider-suite tests pass (wishlist + imports + discovery +
downloads + metadata). Ruff clean.
**Migration note:** existing wishlist rows that were saved under
the OLD ``track_object_to_dict`` (with stripped album metadata) still
have ``release_date=''`` in the DB blob. Those won't self-heal — the
next attempt loads from the poisoned blob. Users can remove + re-add
those tracks to refresh, or wait for the next sync run that
re-discovers them with full metadata. No automatic migration shipped
in this PR (scope creep — the forward path is fixed, backfill is a
separate concern).
Two confirmed-from-code-reading bugs in the wishlist retry chain.
Both cause downstream post-process to render every retried file as
``01 - <title>`` without year in the folder path, even when the
source slskd file had the correct track number embedded and Spotify
had the album release date.
**Bug A — track_number defaults to 1 at every link in the chain.**
Pre-fix: ``.get('track_number', 1)`` defaulted at four sites:
- ``core/wishlist/payloads.py:121`` ``ensure_wishlist_track_format``
- ``core/wishlist/payloads.py:282`` Track-object conversion
- ``core/imports/context.py:421`` legacy album-info builder
- ``core/imports/pipeline.py:645`` final processing read
Each step "filled in" 1 when the upstream had dropped the key. The
downstream filename-extract fallback at ``pipeline.py:652`` ONLY
runs when the value is None — pre-filled 1 never matched, so the
fallback never fired, so the source filename's track number (e.g.
``08. No Sleep Till Brooklyn.flac``) was discarded in favour of the
default-1.
Fix: change every default from ``1`` to ``None`` along the chain.
The pipeline already has the right detect-and-recover logic — it
just needs the chain to stop poisoning it. Final ``< 1`` floor at
``pipeline.py:660`` still defaults to 1 as last resort, so callers
that genuinely have nothing still produce a valid number.
**Bug B — release_date dropped from cancelled-task wishlist payload.**
Pre-fix: ``build_cancelled_task_wishlist_payload`` only ``setdefault``ed
``name`` / ``album_type`` / ``images`` on the album dict. The
release_date field copy was load-bearing (when input was a dict, the
``dict(album_raw)`` copy preserved it), but when input was a bare
string the constructed dict had only name + album_type — no
release_date / total_tracks / etc.
Fix:
- Explicit comment on the dict-shape branch that release_date survives
via the unconditional ``dict(album_raw)`` copy + setdefault
semantics — so a future refactor that switches to a stricter copy
doesn't silently strip the field.
- String-shape branch now pulls release_date from
``track_info.album_release_date`` or ``track_info.release_date``
when present so the round-trip preserves the year for the path
template.
- track_data shape itself now carries ``track_number`` / ``disc_number``
at the top level (Bug A intersect — was dropping it entirely).
**Tests:** 4 new in tests/wishlist/test_payloads.py:
- ``test_ensure_wishlist_track_format_preserves_real_track_number``
- ``test_ensure_wishlist_track_format_keeps_missing_track_number_as_none``
- ``test_build_cancelled_task_wishlist_payload_preserves_track_number``
- ``test_build_cancelled_task_wishlist_payload_string_album_pulls_release_date_from_track_info``
14 payload tests pass; 879 across wishlist + imports + downloads
suites still green; 1410 wider suite all pass. Ruff clean.
Commits 2 + 3 of 3 in PR 2/4 of the wishlist-album-bundle issue fix
series. Commit 1 (94ba1d73) instrumented staging-match so the next
wishlist run produces the evidence we need to diagnose bug C
(staging-match silently drops album-bundle wishlist tracks); that
fix lands in a follow-up PR after the user's next reproduction run.
Root cause (#700): the Soulseek album-bundle path downloads whole
releases into a private staging dir, then per-track workers claim
those files via the staging-match shortcut. When slskd files arrived
without ID3 tags (common for FLAC rips), the staging cache fell back
to the filename stem as the title — and stems shaped like
"Artist - Album - 03 - Title" could not clear the 0.80 title-
similarity threshold against the clean Spotify track name. Every
track in the album went not_found, the batch ended "failed" in the
Downloads UI with an empty queue, and the bundle-downloaded files
just sat unused in staging.
Fix: in _staging_title_variants, add a trailing-title variant by
extracting the segments after a bare track-number block (e.g. "03")
between " - " delimiters. Conservative — only fires when a clear
digit segment is present, so real song titles with dashes like
"Hold Me - Live" are left intact. Generated as an additional variant
alongside the existing raw/compacted/feat-stripped/bonus-stripped
forms, so behavior on already-matching files is unchanged.
Downstream (#698): the album-bundle staging miss pushed every failed
track to the wishlist labelled as a playlist track, and a couple of
fallback paths in ensure_wishlist_track_format and the slskd-result
reconstruction hardcoded album_type='single' / total_tracks=1 on the
stored album dict. On wishlist requeue the path builder saw
album_type='single' and routed the download through single_path,
dumping the file in the Singles tree even though it belonged to an
album. (Running Reorganize would fix it because the DB album linkage
was still correct, but the file landed in the wrong place first.)
Fixes:
- new resolve_wishlist_source_type_for_batch() returns 'album' for
is_album_download batches; wishlist_failed.py now calls it instead
of hardcoding 'playlist'
- build_wishlist_source_context() threads album_context /
artist_context / is_album_download from the batch into the wishlist
row so future requeue logic has authoritative routing data
- the non-dict-album fallback in ensure_wishlist_track_format and
the slskd-result reconstruction default album_type='album' (and
total_tracks=0 = unknown) instead of lying with 'single'/1; the
existing setdefault chain handles dict-shaped album data unchanged
Tests:
- 2 staging-match tests pin the new tail-extraction behavior against
a realistic untagged slskd stem, plus a negative test that confirms
a dash-in-title without a digit segment still does NOT extract a
variant
- 2 payload tests pin the album_type='album' default for both
fallback paths
- 4 processing tests pin resolve_wishlist_source_type_for_batch()
and the album-context threading in build_wishlist_source_context()
3974 pass; no behavioural change on already-working flows.
- add neutral wishlist payload helpers while keeping legacy Spotify aliases
- route wishlist removal and classification through generic track data
- keep API and service compatibility for existing callers
- add direct service and presence coverage
- pin resolver, processing, route, and payload edge cases
- keep wishlist package extraction safe for future refactors
- add core/wishlist as the home for wishlist payload, resolution, state, processing, reporting, and selection helpers
- move wishlist-specific tests into tests/wishlist alongside the new package layout
- keep web_server.py and the import/search callers as thin adapters for now
