Two real bugs surfaced in testing:
1. Original file not deleted on replace: delete_replaced_track checked os.path.exists
on the RAW stored DB path (a Docker/media-server view), so it removed the row but
orphaned the file. Now takes a resolve_fn (wired to resolve_library_file_path in
the worker) and unlinks the RESOLVED real path.
2. No year / wrong album context: build_identification_from_hint set is_single=True,
routing re-identify through _match_tracks' singles fast-path — which never fetches
the chosen album, so the re-import got a bare stub (no release_date, total_tracks=1).
Added force_album_match so the matcher FETCHES the chosen release even for a lone
staged file → the track inherits the real album's year, in-album track number, and
art. Holds for single-type releases too (they have a year as well).
Normal single-import behavior unchanged (force_album_match absent → same path).
112 auto-import + rematch tests green.
The apply endpoint silently fell back to the raw stored DB path when the resolver
missed, producing a confusing 'Source file not found: <raw path>'. Now: resolve via
the app's strong _resolve_library_file_path (keeps #833 confusable folding), and on
a miss run the diagnostic resolver to log + report exactly which transfer/download/
library/Plex dirs were searched and whether the raw path existed — so a media-server-
only or stale-path track gives a clear 'SoulSync can't read this file' instead of a
dead end. No mutation happens on this path (fail-safe; nothing staged/deleted).
Adds a per-track ⇄ action (admin-only, alongside source-info/redownload/delete)
that opens the Re-identify modal seeded with the track's title/artist/album/art.
The loop is now live: click ⇄ → pick a release → file stages + hint writes →
auto-import re-files it under the chosen single/EP/album (and replaces the old
entry on success when 'replace' is ticked).
Double-gated: the button only renders for admins, and /api/reidentify/apply
re-checks is_admin server-side.
The showpiece: a focused 'which release does this track belong to?' chooser.
Source tabs (default active), pre-seeded search, the same song surfaced across
single/EP/album with color-coded type badges, ISRC-ranked, replace-original
toggle (on by default). Glassy panel, blurred hero art, shimmer/spinner states,
hover-lift result cards — matched to the app's modal language.
Backend:
- core/imports/rematch_apply.py: pure staged_destination + build_reidentify_hint,
injectable stage_file_for_reidentify (COPIES the file, never moves — original
safe until re-import succeeds). 6 tests.
- POST /api/reidentify/apply (admin-only): resolve_hint_fields → stage file →
create_hint → nudge the worker. Replace deletes the old row only on success.
Frontend: modal markup (index.html), full stylesheet (style.css), and the
openReidentifyModal/search/select/confirm flow (library.js). Not yet reachable
from a button — Phase 5 wires it.
Search any configured source (tabs, default active) and surface the SAME song
across its collections (single/EP/album) so the user can pick which release a
track should be filed under.
- core/imports/rematch_search.py: pure normalize + injected client factory.
search_release_candidates() → lightweight display rows from typed search_tracks
(title/artist/release/type badge/year/count/art/isrc/track_id); resolve_hint_fields()
runs ONCE on the picked row via get_track_details to pull the album_id (+ isrc/
track#/disc) the hint needs. infer_release_type() handles Spotify's missing 'EP'
(multi-track 'single' → EP badge); filing is driven by real album_id, not the label.
- GET /api/reidentify/sources (tabs) + GET /api/reidentify/search (rows). Graceful
empty on dead source / blank query / client error — never raises.
14 tests. Inert until the modal (Phase 4) calls it.
When a staged single-file candidate carries a re-identify hint, the worker builds
the identification straight from the user-chosen release (album_id/source) and
skips the guessing tiers — so the ambiguity that mis-filed the track is gone. No
hint → byte-identical to before (the lookup returns (None, None), fail-safe on any
DB error). A hinted import auto-processes (explicit user choice), still gated on the
global auto_process pref.
After the re-import lands, _finalize_rematch_hint consumes the hint and (if replace
was chosen) deletes the old row + file via delete_replaced_track — deferred to
success so a failed import never loses the original. Safe by construction: unlink
only when no surviving row references the file, and the modal never offers the
track's current release so old path != new path.
All hint logic lives in auto_import_worker.py + the pure rematch_hints helpers —
pipeline.py / side_effects.py untouched. 18 tests; full auto-import suite green.
A single-use, user-designated 'which release does this track belong to' answer.
Written when the user picks a release in the Re-identify modal and the file is
staged; the import flow will read it at the top of matching and consume it.
- rematch_hints table (additive, IF NOT EXISTS + indexes) keyed on staged_path
with content_hash as a rename-proof fallback.
- core/imports/rematch_hints.py: pure DB seam over an injected cursor
(create/find/consume/list) + a cheap size+head+tail file fingerprint.
- exempt_dedup baked into the hint (a re-identify must bypass dedup-skip);
replace_track_id carried for deferred post-success cleanup.
Inert until wired (Phase 5) — nothing calls it yet. 9 seam tests.
paksenkin: TZ=Australia/Sydney made the Cache Maintenance job (and any repair
job) run every ~5s. Root cause: finished_at is written by SQLite CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
(always UTC) but the scheduler compared it against datetime.now() (naive LOCAL),
so the local↔UTC offset leaked into the elapsed time. Sydney (+11) made every job
look ~11h stale -> always due -> fired every poll; the Americas (behind UTC)
deflated it and masked the bug (why New_York 'worked').
Fix: compare in UTC. now = datetime.now(timezone.utc), and a new _hours_since()
helper parses the naive CURRENT_TIMESTAMP string AS UTC before subtracting — so
the machine timezone never affects scheduling. 5 tests incl. the literal repro
(a just-run job must not be due under Australia/Sydney) and a due-detection
sanity check; 41 repair-worker tests pass, ruff clean.
radoslav-orlov: add AAC as a download quality option. AAC is more efficient than
MP3, so it's useful for Soulseek/torrents (streaming sources pick their own
codec; Amazon — the AAC-heavy one — is down).
Additive by construction: every quality tier already defaults enabled=false and
the waterfall is built only from enabled tiers, so AAC ships OFF and the bucketer
routes a not-enabled AAC file to the 'other' bucket EXACTLY as today (where it was
silently dropped). Only a user who turns AAC on makes it a first-class tier,
ranked above MP3 / below FLAC (priority 1.5, min-kbps gate so junk AAC can't beat
a good MP3).
- music_database: aac tier (disabled) in the default profile + all 3 presets.
- soulseek_client: map .m4a -> 'aac' in both result parsers (was 'unknown' ->
dropped); add the 'aac' bucket + a gated branch + a fallback size limit.
- settings UI: an 'AAC' tier toggle (unchecked) between FLAC and MP3; save
defaults its priority to 1.5 so upgraded profiles rank it right on first save.
7 seam tests pinning the additive guarantee (aac absent/disabled -> dropped as
before; FLAC/MP3 selection unchanged; aac on -> selectable, below FLAC, above
MP3); 81 quality/soulseek tests pass, ruff clean. quality_upgrade left untouched
(its AAC handling is unchanged).
radoslav-orlov: with no Spotify auth, enrichment runs on the no-creds Spotify Free
source (prefer-free is on by default) and IS working — pending drains, the modal
shows RUNNING — but the dashboard header tooltip said 'Not Authenticated /
Connect Spotify in Settings'. Two causes:
- get_stats() only set using_free for the rate-limit / spent-budget bridges, not
the plain no-auth-default-free case. The loop already computes the right signal
(free_serving = _free_active(), True here) but it was a local var. Cache it on
self each iteration and report it as using_free (no auth API call in the 2s
status loop).
- The dashboard's Spotify updater checked notAuthenticated BEFORE bridgingFree, so
even with using_free it showed Not Authenticated. notAuthenticated now excludes
the bridging-free case; the LastFM/Genius/Tidal/Qobuz updaters (no free path)
are unchanged.
5 seam tests for get_stats free/auth reporting; 67 enrichment/free tests pass.
Swigs: 'No audio files found in /data/usenet/incomplete/….#2141' — SoulSync
imported a usenet album from NZBGet's intermediate working dir, which is emptied
after the move (files were in /data/soulseek/…). Two causes, both fixed to match
the already-correct SAB adapter:
- _parse_history mapped save_path=DestDir, but the authoritative final location
after a post-processing move is FinalDir. Prefer FinalDir, fall back to DestDir,
empty/whitespace -> None.
- _parse_group exposed the queue group's DestDir (the in-progress '….#NZBID' dir)
as save_path, so a PP_FINISHED group (which maps to 'completed') could finalize
on the incomplete folder before the move. A queue group now reports no save_path
-> finalisation always comes from the history entry (real FinalDir/DestDir),
bridged by the existing 120s completed-no-path window.
6 regression tests (FinalDir preferred, DestDir fallback, empty->None, queue/
PP_FINISHED never offer the incomplete path).
The Deezer missing-column fallthrough in find_existing_soulsync_album_id used a
bare 'except: pass', which ruff flags as S110. Log it at debug instead — same
fail-safe behaviour, no swallowed-exception lint warning.
Surfaces metadata_enhancement.single_to_album as a checkbox in the Post-Processing
> Core Features section, next to the cover-art settings (it's about getting the
right album cover). Default OFF, wired like the replaygain toggle (load '=== true',
save raw .checked) since the generic data-config binding defaults a missing key to
ON. Registered the default in settings.py DEFAULT_CONFIG + config.example.json.
detect_album_info_web gains a last-resort step: when a track matched a SINGLE
with no usable album context, look up the parent ALBUM that contains it (via
get_artist_albums_for_source + get_artist_album_tracks) and promote to it, so it
groups with its album-mates and gets the album's cover instead of the single's.
GATED behind metadata_enhancement.single_to_album (default OFF) — it's a
per-import metadata lookup, so it's opt-in, matching the canonical-version
pattern. Fully fail-safe: flag off, no source, or any client error/miss -> None,
so the track stays exactly as matched (never worse than today). The promoted
album name is forced past get_import_clean_album (which otherwise pins the
single's name) so grouping + tags use the album. 4 glue seam tests added
(promote-when-enabled, disabled-by-default, no-match, client-raises); 462
import-suite tests pass.
When a track matches a SINGLE release it carries the single's name/id and the
canonical grouping files it apart from its album-mates -> mixed cover art
(Sokhi). This re-homes it onto the album that actually contains it.
The selection is a pure, CONSERVATIVE function and the lookup loop takes injected
fetchers, so both are unit-testable without a live client. It only re-homes a
track when a real 'album'-type release's tracklist contains that EXACT track
(qualifier-tolerant) — never promotes a genuine standalone single, never guesses
(a wrong promotion would mis-home a real single, the inverse bug). Fail-safe: any
miss/error -> None (track stays as matched). 13 seam tests. Wiring next.
Sokhi: songs in one album get mismatched cover art. Root cause is upstream of
the repair jobs (which correctly apply one cover per album_id): the standalone
import grouped albums by the album NAME hash (artist::album_name), so the SAME
release split into multiple album rows whenever the name string drifted, and the
cover-art/re-tag jobs then dressed each split row in its own art.
Foundation (new imports only; existing rows untouched): a pure, seam-testable
helper find_existing_soulsync_album_id() resolves the album row by precedence
name-hash id -> source RELEASE id -> (title, artist). When an import carries a
metadata-source album id, a differently-named import of the SAME release now
unifies into one row instead of splitting. Source-column lookup is allow-listed
(it's spliced into SQL) and guarded so a source without a dedicated album column
(Deezer) falls through to the name match instead of breaking the import.
Deliberate scope: this does NOT merge a track that genuinely matched a SINGLE
(a different release id) into its parent album — that needs single->album
resolution upstream and is the next step; this is the grouping substrate it will
feed. 10 seam tests (canonical unify, single-vs-album stays separate, precedence,
allowlist, server-source scope, missing-column fallthrough).
Sokhi: tracks occasionally land in Rockbox's 'untagged' bucket after a
'processing failed'. enhance_file_metadata saves the file with tags CLEARED up
front (so stale tags never linger), then runs the failure-prone external steps
(source-id embed, cover-art fetch). The core tags (album/artist/title/track from
the matched context) are written to the in-memory object BEFORE those steps, but
the on-disk file is still the cleared one until the final save.
The #764 fix made the error handler restore ART — but gated the re-save on there
being original art to restore. So a file with NO embedded art that hit a
mid-enrichment crash threw away its in-memory core tags and was left on disk as
the up-front clear saved it: untagged. Now the handler always persists the
in-memory tags (restoring art when present), so a crash leaves a correctly-tagged
file (album tag intact -> right bucket) instead of an empty one. Regression test
drives the real enhance_file_metadata against an art-less FLAC.
Sokhi (again): downloading the base 'Mushoku Tensei S2 Original Soundtrack' embedded
the cour-2 '…サウンドトラック2' cover. numeric_tokens_differ stripped titles to
[a-z0-9], turning CJK into spaces — so the trailing '2' collapsed to a bare '2'
that '第2期' (season 2) already supplied on BOTH sides, leaving the digit sets equal
and the guard blind. Tokenise on \W (Unicode word-aware) instead, so a digit stays
attached to its word ('サウンドトラック2' is its own digit-bearing token). Latin
behaviour is byte-identical (Vol.4 vs Vol.4.5 etc.). Shared guard, so the art picker
AND the MusicBrainz->CAA path are both fixed. Regression tests added.
ruff F821 caught a real NameError: the three /api/wishlist/ignore-list*
endpoints called get_wishlist_service() without the local import every
other call site in web_server.py uses, so they'd crash the moment the
Ignored modal queried them. Add the import; ruff check now clean.
Single tracks (esp. Deezer-sourced) imported as "01 - Title" regardless
of their real album position — e.g. Fly Away (track 2 of Greatest Hits)
landed as 01, littering album folders with duplicate "01" files.
Root cause: a Deezer single track is matched via /search/track, which
omits track_position, so the context never carried the real number; then
service.py + context.py fabricated a confident track_number=1 from that
gap. Because the resolver puts that first, the fake 1 beat the source.
It is source-agnostic (slskd-with-Deezer-metadata hits it too) — albums
work because /album/<id>/tracks DOES include positions.
Fix (at the shared import funnel, strictly additive):
- track_number.py: new read_embedded_track_number() (mutagen, local, no
network) + an optional embedded_track_number arg on resolve_track_number.
The downloaded file already carries the source-written position (deemix
wrote it); consult it LAST — only when metadata AND the "NN - Title"
filename both come up empty — so it can only fill the gap that would
otherwise hit the default-1 floor. Never overrides a value the pre-fix
resolver produced (no regression for correctly-named/mistagged files).
- pipeline.py: read the file tag at the resolve step and pass it in.
- De-poison: service.py:217 + context.py default to 0 (the existing
"unknown" sentinel, like total_tracks), NOT 1 — so the fake 1 no longer
blocks recovery. Frontend already treats falsy track_number as unknown
(omits it), so this also drops the bogus "1." in the UI.
13 new resolver tests incl. the no-regression precedence guards; full
imports + wishlist suites green (583), no behavior change for albums.
A user who removes a wishlist track, or cancels an in-flight wishlist
download, would have it re-added on the next auto cycle (watchlist scan,
failed-track capture, or the cancel handler's own re-add), so the same
release downloaded -> failed/cancelled -> re-queued forever.
Adds a TTL'd skip-gate (30 days), softer than the blocklist: it expires
so the track is reconsidered later, and never blocks a manual
force-download — only the automatic re-queue.
- core/wishlist/ignore.py: pure TTL/normalization/display logic + a
best-effort orchestrator (no DB handle, caller passes now).
- database/music_database.py: migration-safe wishlist_ignore table +
add/check/remove/list(+purge)/clear methods, and the gate in
add_to_wishlist beside the blocklist guard. Fail-open throughout — an
ignore error can never block a legitimate add; a manual add bypasses
the gate AND clears the ignore.
- routes.py: user remove (single/album/batch) records an ignore. Hooked
at the route layer, NOT the DB remove, so success-cleanup never
ignores (regression-tested).
- web_server.py: cancel now ignores + removes from the wishlist instead
of re-adding for endless retry; three /api/wishlist/ignore-list*
endpoints.
- downloads.js: 'Ignored' modal (view / un-ignore / clear all).
- 13 tests: pure logic, DB seam, gate (block/bypass/fail-open),
route wiring, and the success-cleanup-does-not-ignore regression.
Multiple failed source attempts at one song each land in quarantine as
separate entries. Group them by the *intended* target (sidecar context
track_info isrc -> id -> uri, falling back to normalized artist|title for
legacy thin sidecars) — an exact relationship across siblings, since the
bad files' own tags differ but the target track is constant.
- core: quarantine_group_key() + find_quarantine_siblings() seams; list
entries now carry group_key.
- approve endpoint: remove_siblings flag auto-deletes the other attempts
once one is accepted (captured BEFORE approve restores the file out of
quarantine, or the id lookup would resolve nothing). Scoped to the
quarantine manager; download-modal chooser + version-mismatch fallback
pass no flag and are unaffected.
- UI: multi-member groups render as a collapsible parent row (album art +
'N alternatives'); singletons unchanged. Toast reports removed count.
- 11 tests incl. ordering regression for capture-before-approve.
The Quarantine tab badge was only populated by loadQuarantineList(), which runs
when the tab is clicked — so opening Library History showed a stale 0 until then.
Refresh the count on modal open via the existing /api/quarantine/list endpoint.
The Download Discography modal exposed only Albums/EPs/Singles, its EPs toggle did
nothing, and Live/Compilations/Featured were missing — so you couldn't fine-filter
a bulk download the way Artist Detail lets you browse.
Root cause: the modal's endpoint (/api/artist/<id>/discography) used the base
get_artist_discography, which lumps EPs into singles, and the modal only read
{albums, singles} — so the EPs bucket was always empty (dead toggle). It also had
no content-type (Live/Compilation/Featured) classification at all.
- Backend: the endpoint now uses get_artist_detail_discography — the SAME split
Artist Detail uses — and returns a separate `eps` list.
- Frontend: read `eps`; tag each card with data-is-live/compilation/featured via a
new shared _classifyReleaseContent() (also adopted by the Artist Detail cards so
the two can't drift); add Live/Compilations/Featured filter buttons; combined
category+content filtering. The download payload is built from VISIBLE checked
cards, so every toggle now actually changes what downloads.
- Regression test: get_artist_detail_discography splits an EP into the eps bucket.
- .sidebar-header: real frosted-glass blur of content scrolling behind it —
made the background translucent (was an opaque base layer), added
backdrop-filter blur, and raised the header above the nav (z-index) so nav
items actually sit in its backdrop.
- .dl-nav-badge: vertically centered on the right (top:50% + translateY) instead
of pinned to the top-right corner.
- Removed border-top-right-radius from .sidebar and .sidebar-header (square top).
- Hide the "My Accounts" + "My Settings" header buttons for admin profiles —
both are inert for admin (every service is "Managed in Settings", and My
Settings is an empty pointer note); kept for non-admins who get real UI.
Reported by @Lysticity: opening Settings reset the whole config to defaults. The
chain: GET /api/settings 500s (their env: ConfigManager missing redacted_config)
-> loadSettingsData() called response.json() WITHOUT checking response.ok, so the
error body {"error": ...} was treated as settings -> every field populated as
`settings.x?.y || ''` blanked to defaults -> autosave then wrote those defaults
over the real config.
Fix (settings.js): bail BEFORE touching any field when the response isn't ok / is
an error body, set window._settingsLoadFailed, and guard BOTH save paths
(debouncedAutoSaveSettings + saveSettings) on it. The flag clears on the next
successful load. So any load failure (500, lock, network) now leaves the saved
config untouched instead of wiping it.
The redacted_config method exists in all 2.7.x source + on dev (their 500 looks
like a stale/mismatched build), but the UI must not destroy config on ANY failed
load. Regression test pins redacted_config stays a callable method on the class
(its removal is exactly what 500s the endpoint).
The Favorites collection walker (_iter_collection_resource_ids) broke on ANY
non-200 — including a transient 429. So a rate-limit mid-pagination silently
truncated the collection: the log shows `status=429` then `Retrieved 98/100`,
and the mirror saved 98 of a 524-track favorites list. The auto-sync cycle only
"worked" because it dodged the 429. The regular-playlist paginator already
retries 429; the collection walker didn't.
Fix: retry the same cursor page with backoff (5/10/15/20s, 4 attempts) on 429,
mirroring the playlist paginator; 401/403 still bail (+ reconnect flag), other
non-200 still break. Regression tests: 429 mid-walk completes the full chain;
exhausted retries return partial without hanging; 429 doesn't set reconnect.
wolf's report: Spotify shows 'Calma - Remix', Find & Add searches that literal
string, but the library stores the track as just 'Calma' (only the 3:58 duration
marks it the remix). The literal LIKE '%calma - remix%' misses, so it fell to the
OR-fuzzy fallback which floods on the common word 'remix' (20 unrelated '... remix'
hits). Dropping '- Remix' (searching 'Calma') finds it instantly.
Fix: search_tracks (and api_search_tracks) now retry on the BASE title — the part
before Spotify's ' - ' version separator — BEFORE the OR-fuzzy flood. So
'Calma - Remix' resolves to 'Calma' (or 'Calma (Remix)') and the noise fallback is
never reached when the base matches. New core.text.title_match.base_title_before_dash
(splits the first spaced ' - '; leaves bare hyphens like 'Up-Tight' alone).
Tests: pure helper (3) + real-DB integration reproducing the Calma case, the
parenthesized-remix variant, plain-title-unaffected, and no-flood (4). 64
search/match tests green.
The Deezer ARL field round-trips a redaction sentinel for a saved-but-untouched
secret (shown as dots). The save path already guards against the sentinel
overwriting the real token (ConfigManager.set), so the ARL was never actually
lost — but the connection TEST read the field value and sent the sentinel as the
token, so Deezer returned USER_ID=0 ('Invalid ARL token') after navigating away
and back. That false failure made it look like the ARL kept resetting.
Fix:
- ConfigManager.resolve_secret(key, posted): empty/sentinel posted value -> the
stored value; a real string -> a genuine new secret. Reusable for any secret
connection-test (single source of truth).
- /api/deezer-download/test now resolves the effective ARL via resolve_secret, so
an untouched field tests the stored token.
- testDeezerDownloadConnection() strips the sentinel before sending (untouched ->
empty -> backend uses the saved token).
Seam/regression tests for resolve_secret (sentinel/empty/none -> stored, real ->
passthrough, nothing stored -> empty). JS integrity 64 green.
Enrichment matched artists by NAME ONLY (0.85 gate), so for a common name
('Rone' has ~5 artists) it stored whichever the source ranked first — often the
wrong one, which then drove a wrong/sparse library 'Standard' discography while
'Enhanced' (the real owned albums) showed the full set.
Fix — use the decisive signal the library already has (the albums you OWN):
- worker_utils: pick_artist_by_catalog() + catalog_overlap_score() +
owned_album_titles()/release_titles(). When 2+ candidates clear the name gate,
fetch each one's catalog and choose the one overlapping the owned albums; falls
back to the current best-by-name pick when there's nothing to disambiguate or
no overlap (so the common single-candidate path makes no extra API calls).
- Wired into Spotify (covers Spotify-Free, same client), iTunes, Deezer (now
multi-candidate search_artists + get_artist_info store), and MusicBrainz
(match_artist gains owned_titles; release-groups as the catalog).
Re-match path (#868):
- build_reset_query now also clears the stored source-ID column for artist/album
item resets — previously a 're-match' only nulled match_status, so the worker's
existing-id short-circuit re-confirmed the WRONG id and never re-resolved. Tracks
excluded (ids live in tags, not a column).
- MusicBrainz also self-corrects its 90-day name->mbid cache: match_artist bypasses
a cached mbid whose catalog has ZERO overlap with the owned albums, so a re-match
isn't blocked by a stale wrong cache entry.
Tests: shared selector (9), per-worker disambiguation for all 4 sources + MB
backward-compat + MB cache-revalidation (8), reset-clears-id (2). 99 worker/
enrichment tests green.
Four refinements on top of the tiered matcher:
1. Direct source track-ID tier (new top tier): enrichment writes each source's own
track ID into the file tags (spotify_track_id/deezer_track_id/itunes_track_id/...).
If we have the active source's track ID, fetch that exact track by ID via
get_track_details — zero search. Tiers are now: track-ID -> ISRC -> album->track
-> artist+title. _read_file_ids reads ISRC + all per-source IDs in one tag read.
2. Skip already-proposed tracks: a re-run loads existing finding entity_ids for the
job and skips those tracks before any API call (pending stays deduped, dismissed
stays dismissed) — re-runs are cheap.
3. Wrong-version guard: the fuzzy tiers (album-search + track search) reject a
candidate whose length differs from ours by >5s (live/edit/remix with same title).
_load_tracks now selects t.duration; exact tiers (track-ID/ISRC/stored-album-ID)
skip the guard.
4. Tighter album matching: same-title cuts in an album are disambiguated by closest
duration when track_number doesn't decide it.
Findings record matched_via = track_id | isrc | album | search. 30 repair tests pass
(added track-ID tier, duration guard, dedup-skip, and unit coverage).
Replaces the blind fuzzy search with a smart hierarchy that uses the data we
already have, best identity first:
1. ISRC embedded in the file tags (enriched track) -> exact track.
2. Album -> track: use the album's stored source ID (albums.spotify_album_id /
itunes_album_id / deezer_id / musicbrainz_release_id / audiodb_id) when the
ALBUM is enriched (even if the track isn't); else find the album by searching
'artist album', then locate our track in that album's tracklist by normalized
title (track_number breaks ties). Pins the exact album context. (artist->album->track)
3. Plain artist+title search with similarity scoring. (artist->track) — loosest.
_load_tracks now returns dict rows (adds track_number + the album source-id
columns). Findings record matched_via = isrc | album | search. All clients
(spotify/deezer/itunes/discogs) expose search_albums + get_album_tracks with a
uniform {'items': [...]} shape, so the album tier is source-agnostic.
26 repair tests pass (added album-tier + _find_track_in_album coverage).
The job was doing a blind fuzzy search for every low-quality track, ignoring that
enrichment writes each track's ISRC + per-source IDs into the file tags. Now it
reads the file's embedded ISRC and resolves the EXACT track via each source's
'isrc:' search (universal cross-source key), guarded by an ISRC-equality check so
a source that ignores the syntax can't produce a false match — exact track, exact
album context, one call. Falls back to the name/artist fuzzy search only for
un-enriched tracks with no usable ISRC. Findings record matched_via=isrc|search.
4 new seam tests (guard accept/reject, ISRC-preferred-over-fuzzy, fuzzy fallback).
Phase 2 of the redesign. The tool that judged quality by extension and auto-dumped
matches into the wishlist is gone; quality scanning is now the reviewed
quality_upgrade repair job.
Removed:
- Frontend: Tools-page Quality Scanner card, its JS handlers/poller/socket listener,
help tooltip + tour entry (webui index.html, core.js, helper.js, wishlist-tools.js).
- Backend: /api/quality-scanner/{start,status,stop} endpoints, the in-memory state +
executor + 1s socket broadcast, the QualityScannerDeps/run_quality_scanner shim.
- core/discovery/quality_scanner.py: the auto-acting worker + deps class (the shared
match/normalize helpers stay — the new job imports them).
Rewired:
- Automation 'start_quality_scan' action now triggers the quality_upgrade repair job
via repair_worker.run_job_now() (AutomationDeps gains run_repair_job_now, drops the
4 scanner fields). Action block's vestigial scope field removed (scope lives in the
job's settings now). NOTE: the 'quality_scan_completed' trigger no longer fires (the
repair job doesn't emit it).
- Updated all automation test _build_deps helpers + conftest tool-progress harness;
deleted the obsolete worker test. 528 affected tests pass; 6123 collect cleanly.
QUALITY_TIERS / _get_quality_tier_from_extension kept (used elsewhere).
The old Quality Scanner tool judged quality by file EXTENSION only (a 128k and a
320k MP3 looked identical), ignored the bitrate-based quality profile, used min()
of enabled tiers so the default profile flagged the ENTIRE non-lossless library,
and auto-dumped every match into the wishlist with no review.
This new repair job does it properly:
- meets_preferred_quality(): pure, bitrate-AWARE decision honoring every enabled
quality bucket (320 MP3 passes a FLAC+320+256 profile; 128 MP3 doesn't). Floor
is the worst enabled bucket, not the best.
- scans watchlist artists or whole library, finds below-quality tracks, matches a
better version at scan time (reusing the existing tested match helpers), emits a
FINDING showing the match + confidence. Off by default; nothing auto-queued.
- _fix_quality_upgrade apply handler adds the matched track WITH album context to
the wishlist — the user-approved version of what the old tool did silently.
- Transcode/fake-lossless detection intentionally left to the existing Fake
Lossless Detector job.
12 seam tests incl. a regression pinning the default-profile flooding bug. The old
tool is still in place; removing it + rewiring its automation action is the next step.
When the modal opens instantly (before data loads), it was rendered in the
'fresh' phase — showing clickable Start Discovery / Wing It buttons over an empty
table, even though discovery is already auto-starting. Open it in 'discovering'
instead: the footer becomes the non-interactive 'Discovering matches…' info line
and the progress text reads 'Starting discovery…' instead of 'Click Start
Discovery to begin…'. Only Close stays clickable while the table loads.
The prior UX commit removed a redundant frontend pre-fetch, but the modal was
still only opened at the END of openTidalDiscoveryModal — AFTER awaiting
/api/tidal/discovery/start, whose backend handler fetches the whole playlist
synchronously (Tidal sleeps 1s/page, ~10s) before responding. So the modal still
didn't appear for ~10s. Now open the modal first (with a 'Loading playlist from
Tidal…' note), then fire the discovery-start POST and begin polling; return early
so the shared open at the bottom is skipped for this path.
Clicking Discover on a fresh Tidal card awaited /api/tidal/playlist/<id> (which
paginates Tidal with a 1s sleep per page + rate-limit throttle, ~10s for a large
playlist) BEFORE opening the modal — and the backend discovery worker then
re-fetched the same playlist anyway. Now that the modal builds its rows from the
backend discovery results (#867), open it immediately and let discovery populate
it: no blocking pre-fetch, no redundant double-fetch of the playlist.
Two issues in the same path:
1. The shared discovery modal pre-renders one row per track from a
separately-fetched frontend track list, then the poll dropped any backend
result without a pre-rendered row (if (!row) return). When the frontend's
track fetch came back rate-limited/partial (~21) while discovery's own fetch
got all 59, the surplus results vanished. Now the modal CREATES a row for any
result lacking one, so authoritative backend results drive the list (fixes
all sources sharing the modal).
2. get_playlist hydrated a whole relationships page in one _get_tracks_batch
call, but Tidal caps filter[id] at 20/request, silently truncating larger
pages. Chunk to the cap like get_album_tracks already does.
Seam + regression tests (tests/test_tidal_playlist_batch_chunking.py).
Status checks asked is_spotify_authenticated() (official OAuth only) instead of
is_spotify_metadata_available(), so a Spotify-Free primary read as disconnected.
get_primary_source_status had spotify_free awareness but it was dead code:
get_client_for_source('spotify') returns None unless officially authed, so the
free-availability probe never had a client. Fetch the client directly for that
check; add the missing free branch to the dashboard test message. Seam + regression tests.
