Reproduced: selecting Fresh Tape (or any kind never generated before)
and running the pipeline silently skipped — UI showed
"No tracks in Fresh Tape — skipping sync" with no clue why.
Root cause: ensure_playlist auto-creates the playlist row on first
access with `track_count=0` and `last_generated_at=NULL`, but
`is_stale=0` by default (the column default — fresh rows aren't
"stale", they're "never generated"). Pipeline only refreshed when
`is_stale=True` OR `refresh_first=True`, so first-run rows fell
through both branches → read the empty snapshot → skip.
Fix: pipeline now also refreshes when `existing.last_generated_at is
None`. Same control flow, one extra condition:
if refresh_first OR is_stale OR last_generated_at is None:
refresh
else:
read existing snapshot
This is the right signal: "has the generator ever run for this row"
is exactly what `last_generated_at` tracks (the column is set in
`_persist_snapshot` after every successful refresh).
Stubs in test_handlers_personalized_pipeline.py updated to expose
`last_generated_at` on their SimpleNamespace returns so the new
attribute read doesn't AttributeError. Fresh stubs get a non-None
timestamp so they're treated as already-generated; the new test
`test_never_generated_snapshot_triggers_first_refresh` pins the
first-run-forces-refresh behavior with `last_generated_at=None`.
Snapshots now track when their source data changes. Watchlist scan
emits stale flags on the playlists whose underlying pool just got
refreshed; the next pipeline run sees the flag and regenerates the
snapshot before syncing, so the server playlist never lags the source.
Schema:
- new `is_stale INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0` column on
`personalized_playlists`, plus an idempotent ADD COLUMN migration
in `ensure_personalized_schema` for installs created before this PR.
- `PlaylistRecord.is_stale: bool = False` exposed on the dataclass so
callers can branch on freshness without re-querying.
Manager:
- new `mark_kinds_stale(kinds, profile_id=None)` flips the flag in
bulk for a list of kinds (used by upstream data refreshers).
- `_persist_snapshot` clears `is_stale = 0` on successful refresh.
- SELECT statements + `_row_to_record` updated to read the column
(with tuple-form length guard for safety).
Pipeline:
- `_build_payloads_for_kinds` now branches: refresh_first=True OR
`existing.is_stale` -> refresh_playlist, else read existing
snapshot. So the auto-refresh kicks in without needing the user to
toggle the refresh-each-run option.
Watchlist scanner emits stale flags at three sites:
- after `update_discovery_pool_timestamp` -> marks pool-fed kinds
stale: hidden_gems, discovery_shuffle, popular_picks, time_machine,
genre_playlist, daily_mix.
- after release_radar `save_curated_playlist` -> marks `fresh_tape`.
- after discovery_weekly `save_curated_playlist` -> marks `archives`.
All three calls go through a module-level `_mark_personalized_kinds_stale`
helper that builds a PersonalizedPlaylistManager with `deps=None` (only
DB access is needed for the flag update — no generator dispatch). Each
call is wrapped in try/except so a flag failure can never abort the
scan itself.
Tests:
- new `TestStaleFlag` class in `test_personalized_manager.py` (6
tests): default-false, single-kind flip, multi-kind, profile
scoping, refresh-clears, empty-list noop.
- two new pipeline tests pin the auto-refresh dispatch:
`test_stale_snapshot_auto_refreshes_even_without_refresh_first`
and `test_non_stale_snapshot_skips_refresh`.
- existing stub-manager `SimpleNamespace` returns gained
`is_stale=False` so the new attribute read doesn't AttributeError.
Full suite: 3391 pass.
User-facing WHATS_NEW entry added under 2.5.2 (above the prior
pipeline auto-sync entry) describing the auto-refresh behavior.
Follow-up to the personalized-playlists standardization PR. New
`personalized_pipeline` automation action syncs selected discover-
page playlists (Hidden Gems / Discovery Shuffle / Time Machine /
Genre / Daily Mix / Fresh Tape / The Archives / Seasonal Mix) to
the active media server + queues missing tracks for download.
Same pattern as the existing mirrored `playlist_pipeline` but two
phases instead of four — no REFRESH (no external source to re-pull)
and no DISCOVER (manager-backed snapshots are already metadata-
matched). Pipeline shape:
SNAPSHOT → SYNC → WISHLIST
Where SNAPSHOT either reads the persisted track list from
`PersonalizedPlaylistManager` (default) or refreshes it first when
`refresh_first=true` (cron use case: regenerate Hidden Gems nightly
and sync the fresh set).
Shared helper extraction:
PHASE 3 (SYNC loop) + PHASE 4 (WISHLIST tail) lifted out of mirrored
`playlist_pipeline` into `core/automation/handlers/_pipeline_shared.py`
as `run_sync_and_wishlist(deps, automation_id, playlists, sync_one_fn,
sync_id_for_fn, ...)`. Both pipelines call it. Mirrored injects
`auto_sync_playlist` as the per-playlist sync function; personalized
injects a thin wrapper that launches `_run_sync_task` directly with
a pre-built tracks_json. Same sync-state polling / progress emission
/ status counting / wishlist trigger logic — 0 duplication.
Files added:
- core/automation/handlers/_pipeline_shared.py
- core/automation/handlers/personalized_pipeline.py
- tests/automation/test_handlers_personalized_pipeline.py
Files changed:
- core/automation/handlers/playlist_pipeline.py: PHASE 3+4 replaced
with shared helper call (~100 lines deleted, 1 helper invocation
added; behavior identical).
- core/automation/deps.py: new `build_personalized_manager` field
(lazy builder so the pipeline gets a fresh PersonalizedPlaylistManager
per run).
- core/automation/handlers/__init__.py + registration.py: register
`personalized_pipeline` action with the shared `pipeline_running`
guard so it can't overlap mirrored.
- core/automation/blocks.py: new `personalized_pipeline` block
declaration with config_fields (kinds multi-select, refresh_first,
skip_wishlist).
- web_server.py: thread `_build_personalized_manager` into
AutomationDeps construction.
- All 5 automation test fixtures: `_build_deps` adds
`build_personalized_manager=lambda: None` stub.
- tests/automation/test_handler_registration.py:
EXPECTED_ACTION_NAMES + EXPECTED_GUARDED_ACTIONS gain
`personalized_pipeline`.
Trigger schema:
{
"_automation_id": "...",
"kinds": [
{"kind": "hidden_gems"},
{"kind": "time_machine", "variant": "1980s"},
{"kind": "seasonal_mix", "variant": "halloween"}
],
"refresh_first": false,
"skip_wishlist": false
}
Tests (14 new, 178 automation total):
- _track_to_sync_shape: basic shape, source ID fallback chain,
no-id returns empty string
- empty config / non-list kinds / empty kinds list all return
error + clear pipeline_running flag
- _build_payloads_for_kinds: skips invalid entries, skips kinds
with no tracks, refresh_first vs ensure dispatch, payload shape
+ sync_id format, manager exception swallowed continues
- _sync_personalized_playlist: launches background thread + returns
status='started'
- happy path: stubbed sync_states drives helper to completion, flag
cleaned up
Full suite: 3383 passed.
Note: the trigger UI block declares config_fields but the frontend
doesn't yet render the `personalized_playlist_select` multi-select
type — usable today via API; polished UI ships in a follow-up
frontend PR.
Cleans up the four remaining inline callbacks at the bottom of
`web_server._register_automation_handlers` so the function is now
purely deps-construction + register_all + a logger.info line.
Lifted:
- `_progress_init`, `_progress_finish`, `_record_automation_history`,
and `_on_library_scan_completed` -> core/automation/handlers/progress_callbacks.py
Each is a top-level function that takes deps as a parameter; the
engine sees thin lambdas through `register_progress_callbacks` /
`register_library_scan_completed_emitter` (called from `register_all`).
Two new deps fields:
- `init_automation_progress` (delegates into the live progress tracker)
- `record_progress_history` (delegates into _auto_progress.record_history)
12 new boundary tests in tests/automation/test_progress_callbacks.py
pin every shape:
- progress_init forwards to init_automation_progress
- progress_finish skips when handler manages its own progress
(prevents double-emit of finished status)
- progress_finish: completed -> finished/Complete/success;
error -> error/Error/error; msg falls through error -> reason ->
status -> 'done'
- record_history threads the live db into the recorder
- on_library_scan_completed: no engine = noop, server type taken
from web_scan_manager._current_server_type, defaults to 'unknown'
- register_library_scan_completed_emitter: no scan manager = noop,
registered callback emits the right event when invoked
3256 tests pass, no regression.
Final state of `_register_automation_handlers`:
- Was: 1530 lines, 21 nested closures + 4 progress callbacks
- Now: ~50 lines, builds AutomationDeps and calls register_all
web_server.py: 34,220 -> 34,187 lines (-33 net, -1,406 across the
whole branch).
Final commit of the automation-handler refactor. With this commit
every closure that used to live in
`web_server._register_automation_handlers` is now a top-level
function in `core/automation/handlers/`.
Handlers extracted in this commit:
- start_database_update + deep_scan_library
-> core/automation/handlers/database_update.py
Both share the db_update_state monitoring pattern (poll until
status flips, stall detection emits warning at 10 min, 2-hour
outer timeout). Lifted into a shared `_run_with_progress` helper
inside the module so the per-handler bodies stay tiny.
- run_duplicate_cleaner -> core/automation/handlers/duplicate_cleaner.py
- start_quality_scan -> core/automation/handlers/quality_scanner.py
- clear_quarantine, cleanup_wishlist, update_discovery_pool,
backup_database, refresh_beatport_cache
-> core/automation/handlers/maintenance.py
Grouped because each body is short (~20-50 lines) and they share
no state — splitting into per-handler files would just add import
noise.
- clean_search_history, clean_completed_downloads, full_cleanup
-> core/automation/handlers/download_cleanup.py
Grouped because all three reach the download orchestrator,
tasks_lock, and download_batches/download_tasks accessors. The
full_cleanup multi-step orchestration shares phase-detection
logic with clean_completed_downloads.
- run_script -> core/automation/handlers/run_script.py
- search_and_download -> core/automation/handlers/search_and_download.py
`AutomationDeps` grew with the new dependency surface:
- get_db_update_state + db_update_lock + db_update_executor +
run_db_update_task + run_deep_scan_task
- get_duplicate_cleaner_state + duplicate_cleaner_lock +
duplicate_cleaner_executor + run_duplicate_cleaner
- get_quality_scanner_state + quality_scanner_lock +
quality_scanner_executor + run_quality_scanner
- download_orchestrator + run_async + tasks_lock +
get_download_batches + get_download_tasks +
sweep_empty_download_directories + get_staging_path
- docker_resolve_path + get_current_profile_id +
get_watchlist_scanner + get_app + get_beatport_data_cache
- set_db_update_automation_id (writes the legacy global so the live
DB-update progress callbacks still living in web_server.py keep
emitting against the active automation card)
`web_server._register_automation_handlers` is now ~50 lines: build
deps once, call register_all. The 667-line block of remaining
closure definitions and engine register calls is gone.
The final orphan was the `_db_update_automation_id` module global —
the DB-update progress callbacks at line ~14080 still read it
directly, so the extracted database_update handler propagates the
automation id through `deps.set_db_update_automation_id` (a closure
in web_server that writes the global). When the legacy callbacks
get extracted in a future PR the setter goes away.
Tests:
- tests/automation/test_handlers_maintenance.py adds 21 boundary
tests covering every newly-extracted handler shape: guard
short-circuits (already-running returns skipped), deps wiring
(set_db_update_automation_id called with the right id),
exception swallow contract, status returns, path-traversal
blocked in run_script, source-mode skip in clean_search_history,
active-batch skip in clean_completed_downloads, etc.
- 3244 tests pass (was 3223 — 21 new), no regression.
web_server.py: 35,593 -> 34,220 lines (-1,373 net across 3 commits).
Issue #1 from the extraction punch list is now COMPLETE.
Continues the lift from `web_server._register_automation_handlers`.
This commit extracts the four playlist-lifecycle closures:
- `refresh_mirrored` -> core/automation/handlers/refresh_mirrored.py
- `sync_playlist` -> core/automation/handlers/sync_playlist.py
- `discover_playlist` -> core/automation/handlers/discover_playlist.py
- `playlist_pipeline` -> core/automation/handlers/playlist_pipeline.py
The pipeline composes refresh + sync + discover, so all four ship
together. The pipeline imports the other three handler modules
directly (cross-handler call) instead of going through the engine,
preserving the "single trigger from the user's perspective" UX.
`AutomationDeps` grew to cover the new dependency surface:
- run_playlist_discovery_worker, run_sync_task, load_sync_status_file
(pre-existing background-task entry points)
- get_deezer_client, parse_youtube_playlist (per-source clients)
- get_sync_states (live mutable accessor for the sync UI's state dict)
`web_server._register_automation_handlers` now wires those plus the
existing infrastructure into a single `AutomationDeps` and calls
`register_all`. The 669-line block of closure definitions and engine
register calls (lines 959-1627 pre-edit) is gone -- the file shed
743 lines net on this commit.
`tests/automation/test_handlers_playlist.py` adds 17 new boundary
tests:
- discover_playlist: no_id error, specific_id starts worker, all=True
enumerates, no playlists in db
- refresh_mirrored: error path, source filter (file/beatport excluded),
Spotify happy path with auto-discovered marker, per-playlist
exception captured into errors counter
- sync_playlist: no_id, not_found, no_tracks, no-discovered-tracks
skip, discovered-track happy path, unchanged-since-last-sync skip
- playlist_pipeline: no_playlist clears running flag, no-refreshable
clears running flag, exception clears running flag
3223 tests pass. web_server.py: 35,593 -> 34,850 lines (743 removed).
Begins the lift of `web_server._register_automation_handlers` (1530
lines, 20 nested closures) into `core/automation/handlers/`. Each
extracted handler is a top-level function that accepts
`(config, deps)` instead of reaching for module-level globals --
makes them unit-testable in isolation.
Infrastructure:
- `core/automation/deps.py`: `AutomationDeps` (dependency-injection
bundle of clients + callables) and `AutomationState` (mutable flags
shared across handler invocations, with thread-safe accessors).
- `core/automation/handlers/__init__.py` + `registration.py`: one-stop
`register_all(deps)` that wires every extracted handler to the
engine.
First batch of handlers extracted:
- `process_wishlist` -> `core/automation/handlers/process_wishlist.py`
- `scan_watchlist` -> `core/automation/handlers/scan_watchlist.py`
- `scan_library` -> `core/automation/handlers/scan_library.py`
`web_server._register_automation_handlers` now builds the deps once
and calls `register_all(deps)` for the extracted batch. Remaining
17 closures still live below; subsequent commits in this branch
finish the lift.
14 boundary tests in `tests/automation/test_handlers_simple.py` pin
every shape: success path, exception swallow contract, fresh-vs-stale
state detection (scan_watchlist's id() trick), guard short-circuits,
state cleanup on exceptions, AutomationState concurrent-safe accessors.
All 101 automation tests pass; no regression.
These files had silent `except Exception: pass` blocks but no module
logger. Added `import logging` + `logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)`
at the top of each, then replaced the silent excepts with
`logger.debug(...)`.

Refs #369
The endpoint was returning a 200-line literal dict inline. Moved the
three lists (TRIGGERS, ACTIONS, NOTIFICATIONS) to module-level constants
in core/automation/blocks.py. Route shrinks to 7 lines. Data is now
importable for tests + future docs.
Added 8 shape tests so a typo in the dict (missing 'type', wrong
field type, missing options on a select, etc.) gets caught by CI
instead of breaking the builder UI silently.
The `known_signals` field stays computed at request time via
_collect_known_signals(database) since it's dynamic.
No behavior change. Same response shape. 869 tests passing (was 861).
Ruff clean.
Routes moved to thin parse-args/jsonify handlers; logic now lives in
three focused modules under core/automation/. 436 lines deleted from
web_server.py; 53 added back as wrappers.
Module split:
- core/automation/api.py — CRUD + run + history helpers. Each function
takes (database, automation_engine, ...) explicitly and returns
(response_body, http_status). Includes signal cycle detection
preflight checks for create + update.
- core/automation/progress.py — owns the in-memory progress state dict
+ lock (mirroring the original web_server.py globals as module-level
shared state so all callers see one view), init/update/history
helpers, and the WebSocket emit loop.
- core/automation/signals.py — collect_known_signals for the builder
autocomplete.
Out of scope (deferred):
- _register_automation_handlers — the 23+ action handler closures stay
in web_server.py because each one is tightly coupled to feature-
specific implementations (wishlist, watchlist, library scan, etc.).
- Worker functions (_process_wishlist_automatically, etc.) — belong
with their feature lifts.
- _run_sync_task / _run_playlist_discovery_worker — sync + discovery
PRs.
Behavior preserved 1:1:
- Same route response shapes + status codes
- Same JSON field hydration (trigger_config, action_config,
notify_config, last_result, then_actions)
- Same backward-compat: empty then_actions + notify_type set →
synthesize then_actions from notify_type/notify_config
- Same signal cycle detection behavior on create + update
- Same system-automation protection on delete + duplicate
- Same reschedule/cancel logic on toggle + bulk-toggle + update
- Same progress state shape (status, progress, phase, current_item,
log capped at 50, started_at/finished_at, action_type)
- Same emit-on-finish socketio push from update_progress
- Same emit loop semantics (1s tick, snapshot active states, reap
finished after window)
Pre-existing bugs preserved (will fix in follow-up PRs):
- emit_progress_loop uses naive datetime.now() against tz-aware
started_at/finished_at, so the timeout-zombie check raises
TypeError → caught → never fires, and the cleanup-after-window
check raises → caught → state is reaped on FIRST tick regardless
of the window. Tests document this behavior so the next PR can
flip them to the corrected expectation.
Tests: 72 new under tests/automation/ (signals 10, progress 24,
api 38). Full suite: 861 passing (was 789). Ruff clean.
