Two architectural cleanups on top of the download engine refactor.
(1) Shared dataclasses move to neutral plugin package.
TrackResult, AlbumResult, DownloadStatus, SearchResult lived in
core/soulseek_client.py for historical reasons — every other plugin
imported them from the soulseek module just to satisfy the contract,
coupling 8 clients to a sibling source for type imports only. Moved
them to the new core/download_plugins/types.py module and updated all
14 import sites across the deezer/hifi/lidarr/qobuz/soundcloud/tidal/
youtube clients, the engine, matching engine, redownload helper, and
tests. Clean break, no backward-compat re-export.
(2) web_server.py boots the orchestrator via the singleton factory.
After construction it now calls set_download_orchestrator(...) so
get_download_orchestrator() returns the same instance the global
handle points at instead of lazily building a separate orchestrator.
Matches the get_metadata_engine() pattern.
Cin's review feedback: the plugin contract was discoverable only
from the registry, not from the client files themselves. Reading
`youtube_client.py` cold gave no signal that the class participates
in the DownloadSourcePlugin contract.
Every download client class now inherits DownloadSourcePlugin
explicitly:
- SoulseekClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
- YouTubeClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
- TidalDownloadClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
- QobuzClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
- HiFiClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
- DeezerDownloadClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
- SoundcloudClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
- LidarrDownloadClient(DownloadSourcePlugin)
Adjustments:
- core/download_plugins/base.py — moved TrackResult/AlbumResult/
DownloadStatus imports under TYPE_CHECKING since they're only
used in type annotations. Without this, clients inheriting the
contract create a circular import.
- core/download_plugins/__init__.py — drops DownloadPluginRegistry
re-export. Importing the package no longer triggers the registry's
eager client imports (which would also be circular for clients
that import from the package). Callers that need the registry
import it directly: `from core.download_plugins.registry import
DownloadPluginRegistry`.
Suite still green (335 download tests).
Same pattern as C2/C3/C4. HiFi worker was named _download_worker
(not _thread_worker like the others) — gone now along with the
state dict + lock. Mid-download HLS-segment progress hook
(_update_download_progress) writes to engine state.
Pinning tests updated. Suite still green (318 download tests).
PR #340 added ruff to the build-and-test.yml CI gate, which surfaced
286 pre-existing lint errors. Left unfixed, every feature branch push
fails CI. This commit resolves all of them so CI goes green and
contributors can actually land work.
Auto-fixes (248 of 286): removed unused f-string prefixes (F541),
renamed unused loop control variables with underscore prefix (B007),
removed duplicate imports (F811).
Manually fixed 10 latent bugs ruff caught (all wrapped in try/except
today, silently failing):
- music_database.py: _add_discovery_tables() called undefined
conn.commit() — would have crashed the iTunes-support migration
for existing databases. Now uses cursor.connection.commit().
- web_server.py settings GET: referenced undefined download_orchestrator
when it should be soulseek_client. Feature (_source_status on the
settings payload) was silently missing for UI auto-disable logic.
- web_server.py _process_wishlist_automatically: active_server
undefined in track-ownership check. Auto-wishlist was falling
through to the error handler and re-downloading owned tracks.
- web_server.py start_wishlist_missing_downloads: same active_server
bug in the manual wishlist path.
- web_server.py _process_failed_tracks_to_wishlist_exact: emitted
wishlist_item_added automation event with undefined artist_name
and track. Automation event silently never fired correctly.
- web_server.py discovery metadata enrichment: referenced cache
without calling get_metadata_cache() first. Track enrichment from
cached API responses was silently skipped.
- web_server.py Beatport discovery worker: wing-it fallback branch
used undefined successful_discoveries variable. Wing-it counter
never incremented correctly. Now uses state['spotify_matches']
consistently with the rest of the function.
- web_server.py _run_full_missing_tracks_process: stale import json
mid-function shadowed the module-level import, making an earlier
json.dumps() call reference an unbound local (F823).
- web_server.py discovery loop: platform loop variable shadowed
the module-level platform import (F402).
- core/watchlist_scanner.py: 7 lambda captures of loop variables
(B023 classic Python closure-in-loop bug) now bind at creation.
No existing tests had to change. Full suite stays at 263 passed.
Each streaming source (Tidal, Qobuz, HiFi, Deezer) now has an "Allow
quality fallback" checkbox in Settings. When disabled, the source only
tries the exact quality selected — if unavailable, it skips and lets
the orchestrator try the next source. Default is ON (current behavior).
Previously only 502/503/504 triggered instance rotation. A 500 from one
instance (e.g. triton.squid.wtf choking on a specific query) would stop
the search entirely instead of trying the next instance.
New download mode alongside Soulseek, YouTube, Tidal, and Qobuz. Uses
community-run REST API instances (no auth required) that serve Tidal CDN
FLAC streams. Features quality fallback chain (hires→lossless→high→low),
automatic instance rotation on failure, and full hybrid mode support.
Also fixes 6 missing streaming source checks for HiFi and Qobuz in the
frontend that were blocking playback with "format not supported" errors.
