Cover art lookup now honors an explicit prefer_source first,
falls back to the runtime primary metadata source when unset,
and uses the shared source priority for the remaining fallbacks.
Use the shared metadata source priority when resolving album IDs,
album searches, and tracklists in track number repair.
Keeps Deezer and iTunes ahead of Spotify where configured, while
still allowing the job to fall back through other supported sources.
Unknown artist resolution now uses the shared metadata source priority and only filters to the sources that can actually participate in this job. Deezer and iTunes remain direct lookup sources, while Hydrabase can now join the title-search path when it is the configured priority source.
Album completeness and any other repair job now uses the centralized source/client helpers instead of a worker-local Spotify client or override plumbing
- This keeps source selection aligned with the configured primary provider and removes the last Spotify-only special case from the job path.
This change ultimately is a step towards further centralizing the Spotify client access and the associated `is_spotify_authenticated` check.
- Currently these look-ups are done all over the place in different feature implementations directly, but moving forward, any feature that uses `get_primary_client` or `get_client_for_source` to access the Spotify client, won't have to duplicate any rate-limiting or auth checks as long as these getters are used
Album completeness and downstream repair flow now follow the configured
primary provider first, with Discogs and Hydrabase support added alongside
existing Spotify, iTunes, and Deezer paths.
Keep spotify_track_id for compatibility while preserving source-aware track
IDs for provider-neutral handling.
Stripped 4,200+ emoji characters from print(), logger calls across
39 Python files. Logs are now clean text — easier to grep, more
professional, no encoding issues on terminals without Unicode support.
Seasonal config icons preserved for UI display.
Clients are for the most part being initialized per-request, which leads to a lot of redundant client initialization, as well as noise on the logs, since each client initialization emits a row on the logs, eg. 'Deezer client initialized'
Migrates 38 HTTP polling loops to WebSocket push events across 6 phases: service status, dashboard stats, enrichment workers, tool progress, sync/discovery progress, and scan status. All original HTTP polling is preserved as automatic fallback — if WebSocket is unavailable or disconnects, the app seamlessly reverts to its previous behavior. Includes 162 tests verifying event delivery, data shape, and HTTP parity. Also fixes a copy-paste bug in Beatport sync error cleanup.
