Both the auto and manual wishlist download paths called
`remove_tracks_already_in_library` before submitting the batch — a
serial DB lookup per track per artist (~1s/track on a 24-track
wishlist). The batches set `force_download_all=True` which is
explicitly documented as "skip the expensive library check" — the
pre-flight cleanup was contradicting that flag.
Removed the cleanup call from both flows. Kept `remove_wishlist_duplicates`
(fast SQL DELETE) and the standalone `/api/wishlist/cleanup` endpoint
that exposes the library scan as explicit user-triggered maintenance.
Safety check on the trade-off:
- post-processing at `core/imports/pipeline.py:576-624` already handles
re-downloads defensively: existing file with metadata → skip overwrite
+ delete source duplicate, no library corruption.
- Master worker's analysis loop normally removes wishlist entries for
found tracks via `_check_and_remove_track_from_wishlist_by_metadata`,
so stale wishlist entries should be rare in practice.
- Worst case for the rare orphan: one redundant download attempt that
the post-processing layer no-ops on. Bandwidth waste, not data damage.
Tests updated:
- `..._does_not_run_library_cleanup` (renamed from `_skips_enhance_tracks_during_cleanup`)
asserts no DB track-existence checks happen and no wishlist removals
fire — both `enhance` and "owned" tracks reach the master worker.
- `..._marks_batch_complete_when_wishlist_genuinely_empty` (renamed from
`..._after_cleanup`) covers the path where the wishlist starts empty.
Full suite: 1232 passing. Ruff clean.
The manual wishlist download endpoint blocked the request thread on a
slow library-cleanup pass before submitting the batch — for a 24-track
wishlist that's ~50 per-track DB lookups serialised in the request
handler, taking 30+ seconds before the frontend got a response. The
modal sat at "Pending..." with no progress visible the whole time.
Split start_manual_wishlist_download_batch into:
1. SYNC path (request handler):
- Generate batch_id, create download_batches entry with phase=analysis
and analysis_total=0 placeholder.
- Submit a single bg job (`_prepare_and_run_manual_wishlist_batch`) to
the missing-download executor.
- Return 200 with batch_id immediately. Frontend can start polling
/api/active-processes status right away.
2. BG path (executor thread):
- db.remove_wishlist_duplicates (slow-ish, single SQL)
- remove_tracks_already_in_library (the slow one — per-track DB checks)
- wishlist_service.get_wishlist_tracks_for_download
- sanitize + dedupe + filter (track_ids / category)
- Update batch.analysis_total with the real filtered count
- add_activity_item("Wishlist Download Started", ...)
- run_full_missing_tracks_process (master worker)
Edge case: if cleanup empties the wishlist, the bg job marks the batch
phase='complete' with error='No tracks in wishlist' (instead of the old
synchronous 400 response). Frontend status poll picks this up and the
modal can close cleanly.
Tests: existing 2 manual-download tests updated to drive the bg job
explicitly via a new `_run_submitted_bg_job` helper. Added 2 new tests:
- `..._returns_immediately_with_placeholder` — proves the sync path
doesn't trigger any cleanup or master-worker calls; analysis_total=0.
- `..._marks_batch_complete_when_wishlist_empty_after_cleanup` —
cleanup empties the list, master worker never invoked, batch ends
with phase='complete'.
Full suite: 1232 passing (was 1230). Ruff clean.
- remove the redundant wishlist-service injection from the runtime wrappers
- keep the package owning its own singleton service access
- simplify the route runtime API and update the wishlist tests to match
- add module-level loggers for the wishlist package instead of threading the web server logger through runtime objects
- default wishlist helper runtimes and cleanup helpers to their package logger while still allowing test overrides
- keep web_server.py as a thin caller that no longer injects its logger into wishlist flows
- 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
