a pasted track link IS resolved + searched, but the 'bubble the exact track to the top'
step read getattr(t,'id') — and TrackResult has no top-level id (the source id lives in
_source_metadata['track_id']). so the bubble was a silent no-op: the linked track sat buried
among fuzzy text-search lookalikes and the user saw unrelated tracks. qobuz made it worse —
_qobuz_to_track_result never stamped _source_metadata at all, so the track had no id to match.
- stamp _source_metadata={'source':'qobuz','track_id':...} on qobuz TrackResults (mirrors tidal)
- extract the bubble into pure, tested helpers (linked_track_id / bubble_linked_track_first)
that read _source_metadata['track_id'] — fixes it for tidal too, str/int-safe, stable no-op
19 track-link tests (+6 new) + 87 qobuz/download tests green.
When a track shows "Not found", the manual search now accepts a pasted Tidal or
Qobuz track link, not just a typed query (CubeComming: the fuzzy search misses
versions; he can find the track on Tidal but can't get it to appear).
How it works (robust, reuses the proven path): parse the link → (source,
track_id) → fetch the track via the source client's get_track → build a clean
"artist title (version)" query → run THAT source's normal search → bubble the
result whose id matches the link to the top. So the candidate is a normal,
already-downloadable streaming result — no hand-built download encoding — and
it downloads through the existing verified flow.
Degrades gracefully: if the source isn't connected or the link can't be
resolved, it falls back to a normal text search of the raw input — the user is
never worse off than typing it themselves. Scoped to Tidal + Qobuz (the
streaming sources that download by track id, with public track URLs); Soulseek
can't take a link (P2P, no ids), YouTube/SoundCloud are URL-native via a
different path (future).
- core/downloads/track_link.py: pure parse_download_track_link (tidal/qobuz
/track/<id>, slug/region suffixes, scheme-less) + query_from_track_payload
(per-source title/artist, Tidal version-append).
- manual-search endpoint: link detection → resolve → restrict to that source →
id-match bubble.
- placeholder hint mentions pasting a link; maxlength 200→300 for long URLs.
Tests: 14 (parser shapes + payload extraction incl. remix version-append +
qobuz performer/album-artist fallback). JS valid.
