Root cause (from the reporter's app.log): a ListenBrainz weekly playlist syncs
through the in-memory youtube_playlist_states discovery machine. When that live
state is lost — a Docker restart, or the discovery process ending while the user
waits for the media-server scan — the DB discover-download snapshot survives but
the live state is gone. Every recovery action (Cancel/Reset/Delete) then hit
`key not in states` and returned 404 "YouTube playlist not found" (hence the
confusing "Youtube" on a ListenBrainz playlist), leaving the playlist permanently
wedged with no way to dismiss or re-sync. Works for the maintainer because a
single session with no restart keeps the live state alive.
Fix — these are cleanup ops, so "the thing is already gone" is SUCCESS, not 404:
- cancel_sync core (shared by YouTube + ListenBrainz + Tidal/Deezer/Qobuz/...) →
missing key returns idempotent success.
- reset_youtube_playlist / delete_youtube_playlist → same.
The playlist becomes recoverable: Cancel/Reset clears the dead state and the user
re-syncs fresh.
Tests: cancel_sync core (missing key = idempotent 200 not 404; present key still
cancels + clears the worker + reverts phase); endpoint-level idempotency for
cancel/reset/delete; updated the old test that locked the 404 wedge. 834 sync/
discovery tests green.
resolve_history_audio_path drives a DESTRUCTIVE delete (os.remove), but lived
endpoint-bound in web_server with zero tests. Lifted to core/matching/history_paths
with injected effects (exists / resolve_library_path / lookup_titled_paths) so the
fallback chain — and the collision-safety that stops delete() from removing the
wrong same-title file — is a clean importable seam. web_server now wraps it (DB
lookup + os.path.exists + prefix resolver injected); behavior preserved.
9 tests lock it: recorded-path hit, prefix-resolve fallback, single tracks-table
candidate, and the safety rules — multiple same-title candidates with NO artist ->
None (refuse to guess), artist filter picks only the matching path, artist named
but unmatched -> None, no-title/empty-lookup -> None. Full suite green (5906).
The merged PR left the review-queue's mutating endpoints ungated. Both now require
admin, matching the Phase 3 destructive-endpoint convention:
- /api/verification/<id>/delete (os.remove + drops the history row) — @admin_only,
so a non-admin on a login/multi-profile instance can't delete library files.
- /api/verification/<id>/approve (flips verification_status + writes the tag) —
@admin_only; also wrapped its DB writes in `with db._get_connection()` for
rollback-on-error + codebase consistency (was a bare conn).
Read/playback endpoints (stream/play/compare/entry/config) stay open — the app's
LAN-read model. Tests: non-admin gets 403 on delete + approve; admin isn't blocked.
The Your Albums Discogs collection sync stored bare release_ids while
search/discography now store tagged ('r<id>') ones (#848). This didn't cause a live
bug — the pool dedups by normalized name, and discogs_release_id is only ever
re-fetched (which handles bare via release-first) — but it left the "type travels
with the ID" invariant half-applied. Now the collection sync tags its IDs too, so
every stored Discogs album ID is uniform and a future ID comparison can't be tripped
by mixed forms.
Collection items are always releases, so they're tagged 'r<id>'. Test locks the
stored value + that a tagged collection ID routes only to /releases (never /masters).
Closes the forgot-login-password gap. A per-profile recovery question + answer lets
a locked-out user reset their own password.
- DB: additive recovery_question + recovery_answer_hash columns (idempotent
migration). set/get-question/verify/has methods; answer is hashed (pbkdf2) and
matched forgivingly (trim + lowercase + collapse whitespace). No recovery set →
never verifies.
- Endpoints (allowlisted in the login gate so they work pre-auth):
GET /api/auth/recovery-question?username= (generic 404 when absent),
POST /api/auth/recovery-reset {username, answer, new_password} — brute-force
limited; a correct answer sets the new password + authenticates the session.
POST /api/profiles/<id>/set-recovery (admin or self) to configure it.
Tests: set/get/verify, forgiving match, hashed-not-plaintext, no-recovery-never-
verifies, full reset flow (wrong answer rejected + password intact; correct answer
resets), unknown-user 404. 25 tests pass. Next: the Settings + login-screen UI.
The UI that makes opt-in login usable. Off by default → your LAN setup is unchanged
(none of this appears unless security.require_login is on).
- Login screen overlay (reuses the launch-PIN styling): username + password →
/api/auth/login → reload into the app. Shown when /api/profiles/current reports
login_required (checked before profile selection).
- POST /api/profiles/<id>/set-password (admin, or self) to set/clear a login
password, distinct from the PIN.
- Settings → Security: "Login password (admin account)" field + a "Require login"
toggle (with the anti-lockout note). Wired into the existing settings load/save.
- Sign-out button in the profile bar, revealed only in login mode (login_mode flag
on /api/profiles/current); soulsyncLogout() → /api/auth/logout → reload.
Tests: set-password sets/clears + verifies; /api/profiles/current signals
login_required. 20 login/password tests pass; 64 script-split integrity pass.
Remaining (small follow-up): a password field in the Manage Profiles edit form so
admins can set OTHER profiles' passwords from the UI (the endpoint already exists).
The backend auth for opt-in username/password mode (security.require_login, default
off → zero change; the launch PIN + picker behave exactly as today).
- core/security/login_gate.py: pure gate (mirrors launch_lock) — when login mode is
on, an unauthenticated session reaches only the page shell, /api/auth/login,
/api/auth/logout, /api/profiles/current, /api/setup/status, and the key-authed
/api/v1 API. Deliberately does NOT expose the profile list pre-auth (you type your
name, not pick from a roster).
- _enforce_login before_request enforces it; _enforce_launch_pin no-ops when login
mode is on (login replaces the shared PIN, per design).
- POST /api/auth/login (username = profile name, case-insensitive; brute-force
limited per IP; generic error so names don't leak) + POST /api/auth/logout.
- Anti-lockout: the settings save refuses to turn ON login mode until the admin
account has a password.
Tests: gate blocks→login→access→logout→blocked; case-insensitive username; wrong
password / passwordless profile / unknown user all 401 generically; login list not
exposed pre-auth; can't enable login without an admin password. 12 tests pass. Next:
the login screen + set-password UI + the toggle (increment 3).
Lets SoulSync sit behind Authelia/Authentik/oauth2-proxy as the gatekeeper: when
security.auth_proxy_header names a header (e.g. Remote-User), a request carrying it
is treated as already-authenticated and passes the launch lock — the proxy did the
login (with 2FA).
- core/security/auth_proxy.py: trusted_proxy_user(get_header, header_name) — returns
the user iff the configured header is present + non-empty; empty header name (the
default) → always None → feature off.
- _enforce_launch_pin ORs it into pin_verified. OFF by default, so a direct install
is unaffected AND a client-spoofed header does nothing unless the operator opted in.
- Doc'd in Support/REVERSE-PROXY.md with the must-strip-client-headers warning.
This is the lightweight Tier 3 (auth-proxy integration), not a full per-user login —
the proxy owns identity; SoulSync trusts it.
Tests: helper off/on/blank/exception-safe; integration — trusted header passes the
gate, no header is locked, and (the safety pin) a spoofed header is IGNORED when the
feature is off. 6 tests pass.
A publicly-exposed instance gated only by the launch PIN was brute-forceable. Added
a lenient in-memory failed-attempt limiter (core/security/rate_limit.py): 10 wrong
PINs from one IP within 5 min → 429 with Retry-After, failures age out on their own
(self-heal, no persistent lockout), and a CORRECT entry clears that IP instantly.
Wired into /api/profiles/verify-launch-pin. By design it can only ever trigger on a
flood of WRONG PINs — correct entry, a couple of typos, or a no-PIN install are
never affected, so normal use sees no change. Keyed per-IP so an attacker can't
lock out a legit user.
Tests: limiter is lenient under threshold, trips on a flood, success clears it,
failures self-heal, per-IP isolation; endpoint returns 429 after 10 wrong PINs with
Retry-After. 6 tests pass.
Tier 1 of "secure behind a reverse proxy". STRICTLY opt-in so direct/LAN installs
are byte-for-byte unchanged.
- core/security/reverse_proxy.py: apply_reverse_proxy_mode(app, config_get) — a
no-op unless security.trust_reverse_proxy=true. When OFF (default), the app is
untouched: no ProxyFix, X-Forwarded-* stays UNtrusted (a direct client can't
spoof its IP/scheme), session cookie keeps Flask defaults. When ON (operator is
behind nginx/Caddy/Traefik with TLS): trust one proxy hop's X-Forwarded-*, and
mark the session cookie Secure + SameSite=Lax. Any config error → safe no-op,
never breaks startup.
- Wired once at app init.
- Support/REVERSE-PROXY.md: nginx (with the Socket.IO Upgrade headers people
always miss) / Caddy / Traefik configs, the setting, and the "put auth in front
(Authelia/Authentik/oauth2-proxy)" recommendation + the off-for-plain-HTTP note.
Tests: off (and missing-key, and a config exception) is a strict no-op — not
ProxyFix-wrapped, cookie defaults intact; on wraps ProxyFix + secures the cookie;
and the real web_server app is NOT in proxy mode by default. 5 tests pass.
Per the original intent, "Sync" is now a single-artist deep scan: it uses the SAME
reconciliation source as the whole-library deep scan instead of a separate
disk-existence check.
- Phase 1 already calls the deep-scan worker's _process_artist_with_content; now it
passes seen_track_ids so the pull collects the server's current track IDs for the
artist (existing + new), exactly as the library deep scan does.
- Phase 2 stale = (artist's DB tracks for this server) − seen, then
delete_stale_tracks(server_source) — identical mechanism to deep scan, scoped to
one artist. The old os.path.exists disk check (which could mass-delete on an
unreachable mount) is gone.
- Removal only runs when the server pull SUCCEEDED — no trustworthy 'seen' set
(no server, unreachable, or a failed pull) → skip, never delete. The
is_implausible_stale_removal guard (>50% unseen) stays as the same safety net
deep scan has for a flaky response. @admin_only retained.
Tests rewritten for the server-diff model: removes only tracks the server no longer
has; guard skips when most are unseen; a failed pull skips removal entirely;
admin-only. 8 tests pass.
The enhanced-tab "Sync" button's stale-removal phase deleted any track whose file
wasn't on disk, with NO guard — so if the music storage was momentarily
unavailable (sleeping NAS, dropped mount, unmounted Docker volume, WSL hiccup),
os.path.exists returned False for EVERY file and one click wiped the whole artist
(tracks + their now-"empty" albums) from the DB. The deep-scan path already had a
50%-stale safety net (#828); this endpoint never got one.
- New core/library/stale_guard.py: is_implausible_stale_removal(missing, total) —
a tested rule (skip removal when missing > 50% of a >=5-track set), centralised
so every stale-removal site can share it.
- sync_artist_library: if the guard trips, SKIP removal (delete nothing), return
removal_skipped + warn; the frontend shows "storage may be offline — skipped"
instead of silently deleting. Empty-album cleanup now also only runs on the
non-skipped path and uses `album_id IS NOT NULL` (fixes the NOT IN-with-NULL
no-op). Frontend also refreshes the view on additions, not just removals.
- @admin_only on the endpoint — it deletes tracks + albums but was ungated, while
the sibling delete_album endpoint is gated.
Deep scan was already safe (different mechanism: server-diff + its own 50% guard).
Tests: guard unit rules; endpoint skips removal when all files missing (keeps the
tracks), removes only the genuinely-gone few otherwise, and 403s for non-admins.
7 new tests pass.
Reported via Find & Add (Billie Eilish "bad guy"): the track was in the library
and on Plex, but never showed in the modal's 20 results. Root cause (proven
against the real 307k-track DB): the search did `ORDER BY tracks.title`, which is
case-SENSITIVE in SQLite (BINARY collation sorts 'B' before 'b'). Billie's title
is lowercase "bad guy"; everyone else's is "Bad Guy", so all the capitalised ones
sorted first, filled the LIMIT, and her exact match landed at ~#25 — cut off.
- search_tracks now ranks by relevance: exact title match first (case-insensitive
via unidecode_lower), then prefix, then alphabetical — so an exact match can't
be sorted below the limit by a capital letter. Helps every caller.
- Added a rank-only `rank_artist` hint (never filters): Find & Add already knows
the source track's artist, so it now passes it and the exact title+artist match
floats to #1. Filtering was deliberately avoided — if the track is tagged under
a slightly different artist on the server, a filter would re-hide it.
Verified on the real DB: title-only "bad guy" now surfaces Billie at #4 (was
>#20); with the artist hint she's #1. Seam tests: lowercase exact title isn't
buried; rank hint floats the match without filtering; exact title beats a
superstring title. 10 tests pass.
Automations + auto-sync respect 'append' mode and preserve a server playlist's
description + cover image, but manually matching a missing track ("Find & add")
recreated the whole playlist and wiped them.
Root cause: the add-track endpoint's Jellyfin branch called
`update_playlist(<entire track list>)`, which deletes + recreates the playlist on
Jellyfin/Emby. Switched it to the purpose-built `append_to_playlist([the one
found track])` — the same in-place, dedupe-safe op the 'append' sync mode already
uses — so the playlist (and its description/image) is preserved and only the
missing track is added. append_to_playlist reads `.id` off the track, so the
endpoint now sets it (it previously only set ratingKey).
Plex (in-place addItems) and Navidrome (in-place Subsonic updatePlaylist) were
already non-destructive; Emby routes through the jellyfin branch, so this covers
it too.
Tests: the add-track endpoint appends in place and never calls update_playlist;
a link-to-existing-track touches nothing. 18 tests pass (incl. the existing
append-mode suite).
On fresh page load the Downloads pill now immediately reflects whether
Download Verification is enabled (calls _verifLoadConfig in
loadActiveDownloadsPage instead of only on first filter click).
Also changed /api/verification/config to check the `acoustid.enabled`
toggle rather than the raw api_key string — matches the UI setting
"Enable Download Verification".

- ⚠ Unverified filter rows gain actions: inline play (range-streamed from the
history file path, server-side only), YouTube compare, Approve -> new
human_verified status (tag + history + tracks; AcoustID scanner skips these
entirely), Delete (file + entry)
- API: /api/verification/<id>/stream|approve|delete (path only from DB row)
- backfill: history rows with acoustid_result='fail' that exist at all were
imported despite the failure = force_imported (covers pre-fix fallback
imports like the user's 'My Ordinary Life')

The playlist source registry built the Spotify/Tidal adapters with a client
GETTER (resolved fresh on every read), but web_server passed `lambda: <global
client>`. Swapped those to get_spotify_client_for_profile /
get_tidal_client_for_profile.
Combined with part 1 (the engine running each automation as its owner), an
auto-sync pipeline now reads its source playlist through the OWNER's account:
- interactive sync → the user's session profile,
- background automation → the automation owner (via core.profile_context),
- admin / profile 1 → the global client, so the admin's existing auto-sync
pipelines pull exactly as before.
The adapters re-resolve per read, so a singleton registry is fine. Deezer/Qobuz
getters left global (their playlist login is tangled with downloads — deferred).
Tests: the Spotify/Tidal source adapters resolve the global client under admin
and re-resolve through the profile context per call (unconnected → safe global
fallback). 27 endpoint/profile tests pass.
Background automations had no session, so get_current_profile_id() fell back to
admin (1) — wrong for a non-admin's scheduled job. Now the engine declares the
automation's owner around handler execution via a contextvar
(core/profile_context.py), and get_current_profile_id() consults it only when
there's NO web request. So:
- a real logged-in request always wins (foreground unchanged),
- admin + system automations are profile 1 → resolve to admin exactly as before
(the 8 admin-owned auto-sync pipelines behave identically),
- only non-admin-owned automations gain their correct identity, deep through the
whole call chain (incl. the per-profile client resolvers) — no threading
profile_id through dozens of signatures.
Reset in a finally so a pooled thread can't leak the override to the next job.
Tests: contextvar set/reset/nested; get_current_profile_id honours the override
only outside a request (a real session still wins); and end-to-end — the engine
runs a non-admin automation as profile 4, an admin one as 1, an explicit trigger
profile overrides the owner, and the context resets even when the handler raises.
27 + 4 tests pass.
Part 2 (next): point the sync handlers' source-playlist READ at
get_spotify_client_for_profile so a non-admin's auto-sync pulls THEIR playlist.
Third service (the easy one — ListenBrainz already had a working per-profile
token path). Consolidated all per-profile streaming accounts into the My Accounts
modal:
- My Accounts gains a ListenBrainz row with a token-paste connect (a new 'token'
service type alongside the OAuth-popup ones), reusing the existing
/api/profiles/me/listenbrainz save + the generic disconnect.
- Connections API reports listenbrainz status (connected + username).
- Personal Settings (the gear modal) dropped its Spotify/Tidal/ListenBrainz
sections — those duplicated My Accounts — and now shows only the per-profile
server-library selection (non-admin) or a pointer note (admin). The old
renderPersonalSettings{Spotify,Tidal,LB} functions are left defined but unused.
So every per-profile account connection (Spotify, Tidal, ListenBrainz) now lives
in one place. Tests: LB connect status + disconnect via the generic endpoint.
23 endpoint tests pass; 64 integrity tests pass.
Second service. Each profile connects its own Tidal; its playlist reads use that
account, everything else stays global. The gotcha vs Spotify: TidalClient loads
AND saves tokens to one global slot (tidal_tokens), so a naive per-profile client
would clobber the admin's tokens on refresh.
- get_tidal_client_for_profile builds a dedicated TidalClient seeded with the
profile's tokens, refreshed via the shared/global app creds, and OVERRIDES its
_save_tokens to persist to the PROFILE row — never the global slot. Admin
(profile 1) + unconnected profiles use the global client unchanged. Cached per
profile + evicted on (dis)connect.
- DB: set_profile_tidal_tokens / get_profile_tidal (encrypted); the OAuth callback
now uses them + evicts the cached client.
- Wired the Tidal playlist reads (list + tracks) to the per-profile client; the
module import line left intact.
- My Accounts: Tidal row (Connect via /auth/tidal?profile_id=, status, Disconnect).
Connections API extended; disconnect made generic (/<service>/disconnect).
Admin sees "managed in Settings" for every service.
Tests: per-profile token refresh writes to the profile and leaves the global
tidal_tokens untouched (the safety guarantee); connect status + disconnect;
admin/unconnected → global client. 22 endpoint tests pass.
First service of the per-profile playlist-auth feature. Each profile connects
its OWN Spotify account through the shared (admin's) app, getting its own token;
used for that profile's playlist reads. Admin + unconnected profiles + all
background workers keep using the global/admin client — fully non-regressive.
- Shared-app OAuth: get_spotify_client_for_profile + the /auth/spotify init &
callback now use the GLOBAL app creds (falling back from any legacy per-profile
app creds) with the profile's own token cache, and show_dialog=true forces the
account chooser so a user can't silently inherit the admin's Spotify session.
The builder gates on the profile's own token cache existing — no cache → global.
- My Accounts modal (new, all-profile-accessible via the profile bar): one-click
Connect/Disconnect Spotify + connection status (account name). GET
/api/profiles/me/connections + POST .../spotify/disconnect; admin's Spotify is
read-only here (managed in Settings).
- Wired the request-scoped reads to the per-profile client: the playlist LIST,
the playlist TRACKS view, liked-songs count, and user info — so a connected
user sees and opens THEIR OWN (incl. private) playlists, not the admin's.
Tests: builder falls back to the global client for admin/None/unconnected (the
non-regression guarantee); connections status reports unconnected; admin
disconnect rejected. 124 profile/spotify/gate/integrity tests pass.
Still on the global account (next step): sync/download jobs run in background
workers with no profile context — stamping the requesting profile onto the job
is the remaining wiring. Other services (Tidal/Deezer/Qobuz/Last.fm/ListenBrainz)
follow this same pattern.
Correctness (the modal was lying): "Spotify (no auth)" is a COMPOSITE the
Settings page stores as fallback_source='spotify' + metadata.spotify_free=true,
not a literal 'spotify_free' value. The modal read the raw fallback_source and
showed plain "Spotify" as active even when Settings clearly said "(no auth)".
The endpoint now mirrors that mapping both ways — reports active='spotify_free'
when the flag is set, and switching to it writes fallback_source=spotify +
spotify_free=true (and clears the flag for any other source). Modal + Settings
now always agree.
Visual: the modal itself (not just the cards) is richer now —
- a hero header per tab: big brand-logo disc + "Active <kind> source" eyebrow +
the active name + a one-liner + an Active pill, all tinted by the brand color
with a soft radial glow (the Manage-Workers hero feel);
- the panel gained brand-tinted radial depth instead of flat black.
Test: spotify_free composite round-trips like Settings (stored split + reported
as spotify_free; flag clears on switch). 15 endpoint + 64 integrity tests pass.
Visual rework toward the Manage Workers feel:
- Cards are now circular brand-logo discs on white, with each service's brand
color (Spotify green, Deezer purple, Plex gold, …) driving the logo ring +
active glow/gradient + hover lift. Replaces the flat emoji tiles.
- The left rail is alive: each tab shows its category + the CURRENT active
choice's logo and label (e.g. "Metadata · Deezer"), with the active tab in a
brand-tinted gradient + accent bar — mirroring the worker rows.
Correctness fix (answers "modal says spotify, settings says spotify (no auth)"):
the modal read the RAW configured source, but the rest of the app shows the
EFFECTIVE one. get_primary_source() silently downgrades a configured 'spotify'
to the default (deezer) when Spotify isn't authenticated — so configured and
effective diverge. The endpoint now returns `effective` alongside `active`, and
the Metadata panel shows a note ("Configured source isn't connected — actually
using Deezer right now") whenever they differ. Settings was never broken; the
modal just wasn't showing the resolved source.
78 tests pass (integrity + endpoints); smoke confirms configured spotify →
effective deezer surfaces, spotify_free stays itself.
Replaces the basic credential-pill quick-switch with a Manage-Workers-styled
modal (topbar + left rail + panel, entrance animation, brand-logo cards).
- Sidebar Service Status: whole panel opens the modal; clicking the Metadata /
Media Server / Download rows deep-links straight to that tab. Removed the
"switch ▸" hover text.
- Three tabs: Metadata (source logo cards, unavailable ones dimmed), Server
(Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome/SoulSync logos), Download (Single⇄Hybrid segmented
toggle; Hybrid shows a draggable priority list). Logos reuse SOURCE_LABELS +
HYBRID_SOURCES; active card gets an accent ring + check.
- Admin writes the GLOBAL active source/server/download (reuses the same setters
+ client reloads as the Settings save, so changes take effect immediately).
Non-admins see it read-only (editable=false) — the per-profile override is the
next layer.
Backend: GET /api/profiles/me/active-sources (any profile; reports editable),
POST /api/profiles/active-sources (@admin_only; validates against the allowed
metadata/server/download lists, applies + reloads). New service-switch.js
(registered + in the integrity registry); old modal removed from
credential-sets.js (admin Connected Accounts manager stays).
Tests: 14 endpoint tests — read shape, admin sets metadata/hybrid+order
(reflected), bad-value 400s, non-admin read-only + 403 on write. 64 integrity
tests pass; real-app smoke confirms render + deep-links + the full set/reflect
cycle.
Adversarial line-by-line review of the feature diff turned up:
- /api/database/update/stop was NOT @admin_only while its sibling start_update
was — a non-admin could abort a library scan. Gated.
- /api/metadata-cache/evict was NOT gated while its clear siblings were. Gated.
- validate_credential_payload now treats whitespace-only values as missing, so
a blank-but-spacey secret can't be saved to fail confusingly later.
Tests updated: both endpoints added to the admin-gating matrix; a whitespace-only
validation case added. 42 credential/gating tests pass.
Review also confirmed (no change needed): migration is idempotent + additive +
O(1); encryption round-trips with a non-dict guard; no SQL injection; stale
selections fall back to None safely; no secret ever returned to the browser;
the hybrid-drag index math is correct in both directions; the new resolver is
fully DORMANT (zero runtime callers) so existing client behaviour is untouched;
and @admin_only is a no-op for single-profile installs (default profile = admin).
Lets any profile pick which admin-created credential set is active for it,
without creating/seeing secrets:
- GET /api/profiles/me/services per-service options (id+label only) +
this profile's selected_id (stale-safe)
- POST /api/profiles/me/services/select {service, credential_id|null}
Not admin-gated by design — it only writes a per-profile pointer and exposes no
secrets. Validates the chosen set exists AND belongs to that service (can't
select a tidal set under spotify), and rejects unsupported services. null clears
back to the global/admin default.
Tests: a non-admin reads options + selects + clears (no secret in the response),
and selection rejects wrong-service / nonexistent / unsupported. 10 endpoint
tests total.
The audit found these were UI-hidden but API-open — any profile (or the
anonymous default-admin) could call them directly. Added @admin_only to the 15
that mutate SHARED/global state:
- DB: update, backup, backups DELETE, restore, vacuum
- library: track DELETE, album DELETE, tracks delete-batch, clear-match
- plex clear-library; metadata-cache clear + clear-musicbrainz
- internal API keys: list, generate, revoke
Deliberately NOT gated: profile-scoped own-data ops like /api/wishlist/clear
(clears the caller's OWN wishlist via profile_id) — gating that would wrongly
block a non-admin from managing their own data. Verified by test.
Zero change for single-profile installs (the default profile IS admin), so
existing users are unaffected; only genuine non-admin profiles get 403.
Tests: non-admin → 403 on all 15 (the 403 fires before the view body, so no
destructive op runs); admin not blocked on the read-only one; wishlist/clear
stays open to non-admins (over-gating guard). 17 tests.
Admin-only CRUD over the named credential sets from Phase 0:
- GET /api/credentials list all sets grouped by service (NO secrets)
- POST /api/credentials create {service,label,payload}, validated
- PUT /api/credentials/<id> update label and/or payload (partial)
- DELETE /api/credentials/<id> delete (clears any profile selections → fallback)
All four are @admin_only (non-admin → 403), payloads validated via
core.credentials.store, secrets never returned to the browser. Additive — no
existing endpoint or behaviour changes.
Tests: real web_server app + Flask test client (8) — create/list/update/delete
roundtrip, payload never leaks in list, missing-field/unsupported-service/blank-
label/duplicate(409)/404 validation, and the non-admin 403 gate on every write.
Verified the web_server import coexists with the rest of the suite (175 mixed
tests pass).
Bumps _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION 2.6.8 → 2.6.9, the docker-publish workflow's
default version tag, and adds the 2.6.9 What's New entry (15 items, security
fixes first: #832 launch-PIN enforcement and the settings-secret leak, then
#833/#831/#830/#829/#828/#827/#825/#824/#823/#740, Spotify (no auth), multi-
artist tags, decimal-volume dedup).
Found during the #832 audit: GET /api/settings returned dict(config_data) — and
config_data is DECRYPTED in memory — so every API key, OAuth secret, Plex/
Jellyfin token, and service password went to the browser in cleartext. Fernet
"encrypted at rest" protects a leaked DB file; it does nothing once the API
hands the plaintext to the client (devtools, HAR captures, an XSS, a screen
share, or a non-PIN'd LAN viewer).
Fix (centralized in ConfigManager):
- redacted_config() deep-copies config and replaces every _SENSITIVE_PATHS value
that's actually set with REDACTED_SENTINEL; unset secrets stay empty so the UI
still shows "not configured". Dict-valued secrets (tidal/qobuz OAuth sessions)
collapse to the sentinel too. GET /api/settings now serves this copy.
- set() ignores a write of REDACTED_SENTINEL to a sensitive path, so the masked
placeholder round-tripped by an unchanged settings form can never overwrite
the real secret. A real value still saves; an empty value still clears.
Frontend: secret inputs are type=password, so the sentinel renders as dots
(looks like a saved secret). _wireRedactedSecrets() clears the mask on focus so
editing types fresh rather than onto the sentinel, and re-masks on blur if left
untouched — so an unchanged secret round-trips the sentinel (kept), an edited
one saves the new value, and a deliberately emptied one clears.
Tests: every sensitive path masks; unset stays empty; dict secrets mask; live
config not mutated; sentinel round-trip keeps the real secret; real value
overwrites; empty clears; sentinel on a non-secret path writes normally.
9 new tests; 518 config-touching tests pass (1 pre-existing soundcloud mock
failure, unrelated — fails identically on a clean tree).
the-hang-man: tracks with an apostrophe (e.g. "I'm Upset") deleted the DB row
but left the file. The library DB stored the title with U+2019 (the curly form
Spotify/Apple metadata uses) while the file was written to disk with U+0027
(ASCII). _resolve_library_file_path compared the curly path byte-for-byte via
os.path.exists, missed every time, and reported "could not be deleted".
Fix: resolve confusable-tolerantly. New core/library/path_resolve.find_on_disk
descends the path component by component, taking an exact match when present and
otherwise folding a small set of typographic look-alikes (curly vs straight
quotes, en/em dash, ellipsis, nbsp) for the comparison ONLY — it never renames,
just finds the file that's actually there. Exact matches always win per
component, so paths that already resolved are byte-for-byte unaffected. This
also fixes existing mismatched files (no re-import) and every caller of
_resolve_library_file_path (sidecar cleanup, dead-file checks, streaming), not
just delete.
Case is deliberately NOT folded: a case-sensitive dataset (ext4/ZFS) can hold
names differing only by case, and folding could resolve the wrong file. The
reported failure is purely typographic.
Tests: real temp-file fixtures exercising the actual byte mismatch — curly-DB →
ascii-disk resolves, exact still works, confusable in a folder component, exact
wins when both encodings present, genuinely-different name does NOT collide,
missing file → None. 10 new tests; 949 resolver-adjacent tests pass.
Beckid: the admin launch PIN was a CLIENT-SIDE overlay only. `launch_pin_required`
just told the frontend to draw a fixed div over the app — removing it (Safari
"Hide Distracting Items", devtools, or any non-browser client like curl) gave
full unauthenticated access to every /api/* endpoint, because the server never
checked it. Anyone who reverse-proxies SoulSync publicly was wide open.
Fix: a before_request gate (_enforce_launch_pin) that rejects every request from
an unverified session while security.require_pin_on_launch is on. The decision
is a pure, unit-tested helper (core/security/launch_lock.request_is_locked) so
the allow/deny matrix can't silently regress. Allowed while locked: the page
shell + static assets, the unlock flow (current/list/select/verify/reset/logout),
and the public REST API /api/v1/ (its own @require_api_key governs it) — EXCEPT
/api/v1/api-keys-internal*, the "no auth required" key-management endpoints,
which stay locked so an attacker can't mint an API key and walk in the side door.
Everything else (data, settings, profile create/edit/delete/set-pin, socket.io)
is blocked.
A blocked top-level browser navigation (deep link / refresh on a sub-page like
/dashboard) is redirected to the root lock screen instead of dumping raw JSON —
detected via Sec-Fetch-Mode: navigate / Accept: text/html (is_html_navigation).
Programmatic fetch/XHR still get the JSON 401 so the frontend can react.
Also fixed the verified flag: get_current_profile POPPED launch_pin_verified
(one page load), but an enforced gate needs it to persist — now READ, so
verification lasts the session (until logout/expiry). No-ops entirely when
require_pin_on_launch is off (default).
Tests: full allow/deny matrix + navigation detection. 20 gate tests + 232
profile/security tests pass.
Boulder: the live display was a cramped ~600px box showing a fraction of the
data the scan already tracks, with no animation and no history.
Live scan deck (replaces the three-column box, full width):
- Header: pulsing live dot, "x / y artists" progress text, and two live
counter chips (found / added) that pop when they change.
- Animated progress bar (artist index / total) with a shimmer sweep.
- Stage: artist avatar with accent glow + name + readable phase line
("Checking album 2 of 5"), album art + album + current track.
- "Added to wishlist this run" feed: taller, bigger art, slide-in animation
that plays once per new track (feed re-renders only when it changes).
- All data was already in scan_state (current_artist_index, total_artists,
tracks_found/added_this_scan, current_phase) — just never displayed. The
legacy fullscreen-modal markup shares element ids and lacks the new ones,
so it keeps working untouched.
Scan History (persistent):
- New watchlist_scan_runs table — one row per run (status, timestamps,
artists/found/added counts) + the full track ledger JSON. Saved at scan
completion AND cancellation; idempotent on run_id; pruned to the last 100
runs. Wishlist rows erode as tracks download, so this is the durable record.
- GET /api/watchlist/scan/history (runs) + /history/<run_id>/tracks (ledger).
- New History button on the Watchlist page → modal in the origins/blocklist
house style: run cards (date, cancelled chip, artists/found/added stats)
expanding into the Added / Skipped track lists with art and badges.
Tests: save+fetch with ledger, idempotent re-save, prune keeps newest,
unknown-run empty, cancelled runs recorded. 398 watchlist/wishlist/history
tests pass; JS syntax-checked; all rendered strings escaped.
Tacobell444 (#707 follow-up): the scan summary said "New tracks: 19 • Added to
wishlist: 10" with no way to see which tracks those were — you had to scan your
wishlist and guess what was new.
Scan ledger: the scanner now records a per-run scan_track_events list (track,
artist, album, thumb, status added|skipped — skipped = found-new but declined
by add_to_wishlist: already queued or blocklisted; capped at 500). The status
endpoint already serializes scan_state, so the payload flows free. The
completed (and cancelled) scan summary on the Watchlist page gets a
"Show tracks" toggle expanding a styled list — Added section + Skipped section
with badges, reusing the live-feed row styling.
Download Origins grouping: the modal now groups entries by what triggered them
(watchlist artist / playlist name) with collapsible headers + counts instead of
a flat list with a per-row badge. Entries arrive newest-first so groups order
themselves by their newest download. Same row markup, checkboxes/delete intact.
Provenance: watchlist adds now stamp scan_run_id into wishlist source_info, so
per-run grouping is queryable later (future "what did run X add" views).
Tests: per-run ledger seam test (added + skipped statuses, album/artist fields,
FIFO unchanged). 316 watchlist/wishlist tests pass; JS syntax-checked.
Sokhi: "downloads searching for way too many tracks at once" — a wishlist run
that fanned out into ~one batch per album. Verified the actual search/download
concurrency IS capped at 3 (single shared missing_download_executor), so it
wasn't really hammering slskd — but the display showed ~20 "searching" and the
batch list was a mess.
Root cause: run_full_missing_tracks_process was supposed to "block its album-pool
worker for the whole search+download" (that's what the dedicated album_bundle_
executor is for), but it RETURNED the instant it had STARTED the downloads. So
the album pool only throttled the fast analysis phase — every album batch blew
through analysis and immediately dumped its tracks into the shared download pool,
all pre-marked 'searching'. The intended serialization never happened.
Fix: add serialize= to run_full_missing_tracks_process. Album-bundle batches
(dispatched on album_bundle_executor) pass serialize=True and now hold their pool
slot via _wait_for_batch_drain() until every task in the batch reaches a terminal
state — so only ~N albums are in flight at once. The wait is passive (downloads
are driven by the monitor + completion callbacks on other threads, so no
deadlock) and bails on shutdown, a removed batch, or a safety cap. The residual /
playlist / manual paths run on the SHARED pool and pass serialize=False (blocking
there would steal a real download worker), so they're unchanged.
Tests: _wait_for_batch_drain returns immediately when all-terminal, waits until
tasks finish, bails on shutdown, respects the cap, handles a missing batch. 975
download/wishlist tests pass (only the pre-existing soundcloud /app failures).
carlosjfcasero: "append" sync mode still recreated the playlist (wiping image +
description) on both the sync-page auto-sync and the Playlist Pipeline. Root
cause: _run_sync_task defaulted sync_mode='replace', and every AUTOMATED caller
omits the mode — auto_sync_playlist (mirrored auto-sync + pipeline), the
iTunes-link sync, and Wing It. So those paths always replaced, ignoring the
user's chosen mode entirely. (Manual sync + the per-source discovery path already
passed a mode, which is why it only bit automated runs.)
Fix: when no mode is passed, _run_sync_task resolves the user's configured global
"Playlist sync mode" (normalize_sync_mode(None, playlist_sync.mode)) — the same
thing _submit_sync_task already does — instead of hardcoding 'replace'. The
global default is still 'replace', so users who never changed it are unaffected;
only those who set Append/Reconcile get the corrected behavior.
Tests: normalize_sync_mode(None,'append')→'append' (and 'replace' unchanged);
auto_sync_playlist must not force a mode (no sync_mode kwarg / no 7th positional)
so the resolution can happen. 896 sync/automation/discovery/playlist tests pass.
Part 1 stopped existing full dates being destroyed; this adds first-class support
for full release dates so they can be set + persisted instead of truncated to a
year at the DB layer.
- Schema: new nullable `release_date TEXT` on the albums table (idempotent
ALTER-ADD-COLUMN repair on startup + the live CREATE). NULL = year-only, every
reader falls back to albums.year, so it ships safe/dormant.
- Tag writer: write_tags_to_file + build_tag_diff prefer db_data['release_date']
(the full date) over the year int; _date_to_write writes the full date. When
there's no release_date it's exactly Part-1 behavior (year, preserving an
equally-specific existing file date).
- Retag read path: SELECT al.release_date in the tag-preview/write queries and
thread it into _build_library_tag_db_data.
- Manual edit: release_date added to ALBUM_EDITABLE_FIELDS + a "Release Date"
field (YYYY-MM-DD, validated client-side) in the album editor; the artist-album
query returns it so existing values show. User-set dates are authoritative.
- Enrichment: Spotify + iTunes workers store the source's full release_date
(YYYY-MM / YYYY-MM-DD) when present, only when empty — never clobbering a
manual value.
Tests: writer uses release_date over year + overrides an existing file date;
falls back to year when absent; diff compares the full date. Migration verified
idempotent + enrichment no-clobber. 1435 tag/retag/db/library tests pass.
A parsed link is unambiguously a Tidal/Qobuz /track/ URL (no false positives),
so if its source isn't connected or the track can't be resolved, return a clear
400 ("Tidal isn't connected — … or search by name") instead of silently
running a useless search of the raw URL text. The frontend already surfaces the
400's error message in the modal.
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.
Closes the last acquisition gap — user-initiated downloads. A blocklist isn't
a censor, so search + discography stay fully visible; instead the download
ACTION is gated, visibly and overridably:
- Download modal (start-missing-process): an up-front check — if the WHOLE
album or artist being downloaded is blocklisted, return 409 {blocked:true}
with the entity, before starting a batch. The modal shows "X is blocklisted
— download anyway?" and re-POSTs with ignore_blocklist:true on confirm
(threaded onto the batch so the Phase 2a per-track filter skips it).
Scattered single-track bans still fall through to the 2a filter quietly.
- Manual /api/download (search-result download): source-file-centric, so it
matches the blocked ARTIST by name; same 409 + confirm + override. search.js
now sends artist/title so the guard has something to match.
- Precedence confirmed: force-download overrides "already owned", NOT a ban
(the 2a filter runs on the force-expanded missing list).
Frontend: shared confirmBlockedDownload() helper; modal + search callers
handle the blocked response and retry with the override.
Tests: manual download blocked-by-name / unrelated-allowed / override-passes,
and the modal up-front 409 for a blocked album. 8 blocklist API tests pass.
Completes Phase 1 on top of the backend (43c798a7):
- Cross-source backfill: core/blocklist/backfill.py is a pure injected-resolver
core (resolve only missing sources, never raises); core/blocklist/runtime.py
wires the real metadata clients with a confident name-match (exact
significant-token equality; album/track also require the parent artist when
both expose one — no wrong IDs hung on an entry). Resolution runs
synchronously at add time, so a ban is cross-source from the first scan;
the artist name-fallback in matching covers any gap.
- API: GET/POST/DELETE /api/blocklist (profile-scoped) + /api/blocklist/search
(thin wrapper over the manual-match service search on the active source, so
the modal needn't know the source). Add resolves the other sources before
storing.
- Modal (webui/static/blocklist.js): tabbed Artists/Albums/Tracks in the
revamp design language (accent light-edge, pill tabs, debounced search with
spinner + out-of-order guard, per-result Block, "currently blocked" list
with a match-status star and per-row remove). Opened by a new "Blocklist"
button on the watchlist page, next to Download Origins.
Tests: 5 backfill (fill-missing-only, None/exception handling, arg shape) + 4
API (search proxy, add→backfill→list→delete round trip, validation). Modal
registered in the script-split onclick-coverage test; JS syntax-checked.
Self-review of df929dc0 found one gap: the crossfade preloader hits
/stream/library-audio with the file PATH, which 404s for a streamed (not
disk-mounted) Navidrome track — main playback worked, crossfade didn't.
/stream/library-audio now uses the same _build_library_stream_url fallback on
a disk-miss (resolving the song id from the new track_id param, or a DB
lookup by path), and the preloader passes next.id. Crossfade now works for
streamed libraries too.
Review also confirmed (no change needed): /api/stream/status returns only
status/progress/track_info/error_message — the Subsonic token in stream_url
never reaches the browser; it stays server-side and the browser only hits
/stream/audio. Proxy verified live: Range forwarded, 206 + Content-Range/
Accept-Ranges passthrough, body streamed in 64KB chunks, upstream closed.
mlody95pl: Navidrome sync works, playback fails ("Failed to resume playback").
Root cause: SoulSync plays library tracks by reading the file off its OWN
disk (/api/library/play → resolve path → serve bytes). "Report Real Path"
gives the correct path STRING, but that's Navidrome's container path — the
files still have to be mounted into the SoulSync container to open them, and
the user's compose has /music commented out. So disk resolution 404s.
Navidrome is a streaming server, so requiring a disk mirror to play from it is
the real limitation. Now, when a library file isn't on SoulSync's disk and the
active server is Navidrome, playback streams through the server's own Subsonic
/rest/stream API — no mount needed:
- NavidromeClient.build_stream_url(song_id, max_bitrate) — token-authed
/rest/stream URL (mirrors build_cover_art_url; password never exposed).
- /api/library/play: on disk-miss, _build_library_stream_url (Navidrome-only;
uses the song id sent by the player, or a DB lookup by file_path) sets a
session stream_url instead of failing.
- /stream/audio: proxies that stream_url with Range passthrough so HTML5
seeking works, streaming upstream bytes through in 64KB chunks (no full-file
buffering).
- session state gains stream_url; the two library-play callers now send the
track's server id.
Disk playback is unchanged (file_path path still wins when the file resolves),
so Plex/Jellyfin and mounted-Navidrome setups behave exactly as before.
Tests: 7 on the URL builder (auth shape, no-transcode default, maxBitRate,
guards) + 4 on the play-fallback routing (navidrome-only, passed-id vs
DB-lookup, none). 200 navidrome/stream/media-server tests pass.
Follow-up to 603b7a2a (tokens in the config store): /api/settings GET
returns the whole config dict, which would now include the OAuth access +
refresh tokens. The settings UI has no field for them — strip the key from
the response. dict(config_data) is a SHALLOW copy of live state, so the
section is rebuilt rather than popped in place (verified: response clean,
live config intact, token survives a settings save since POST merges
per-key).
Boulder: "Taylor Swift shows only 8 albums, nothing before 2022, no singles,
no EPs" — for every artist (actually: every WATCHLIST artist). Traced live:
get_artist_albums caches its result under an UNQUALIFIED key (no limit/page
info), and the watchlist's new-release probe (limit=5, max_pages=1 — the
April "reduce watchlist API calls ~90%" optimization) stored its truncated
single page in that same slot. The artist detail page reads the cache first,
so a watchlisted artist's page showed only the newest handful of releases —
newest-first, hence "nothing before 2022" — re-poisoned on every scan, with a
30-day TTL. When the source-priority fetch comes back tiny, the page's
fallback path quietly serves it, so the symptom looked like a discography
filter bug. Not related to the #808 matching change (that is a pure max(),
provably additive).
Three pieces:
- get_artist_albums tracks whether the fetch stopped while more pages
existed (truncated) and only caches COMPLETE discographies. Individual
albums keep their opportunistic caching — they're complete entities
regardless of pagination. A small real discography that fits one page
stays cacheable even under max_pages=1.
- MetadataCache.purge_artist_album_lists(): delete the already-poisoned
album-list entries (TTL would have kept them for weeks); lists rebuild
lazily on the next artist-page visit.
- one-time startup purge in web_server, config-guarded
(maintenance.album_cache_purge_v1), mirroring the startup-repair pattern.
Tests: truncated probe never stores the list (but still returns its page),
complete multi-page fetch caches, and a genuinely-small one-page discography
under max_pages=1 still caches. 1087 spotify/cache/watchlist/artist tests
pass.
carlosjfcasero: 'Champagne Supernova (OurVinyl Sessions)' is in the library
but the artist page shows it unowned and wishlist cleanup never removes it.
Measured with the real catalogs: Deezer/iTunes title the TRACK with the
qualifier while the library track is bare (the qualifier lives in the album
title) — and _calculate_track_confidence crushed that pair to ~0.17: the
"clean" titles keep parenthetical words, so the length-ratio penalty treats
'Champagne Supernova' vs 'Champagne Supernova (OurVinyl Sessions)' as
different songs. (Also confirmed: the OurVinyl release is absent from
Deezer's discography for the artist, so the standard page's 25-release list
not showing it is the source catalog, not a bug.)
Fix 1 — core.text.title_match.strip_redundant_context_qualifiers: a
parenthetical qualifier whose text appears (word-bounded) in the db track's
ALBUM title — or in the other title — restates release context and is
stripped for a comparison variant scored with its own length guard. Genuine
version markers keep their penalty: '(Live)' on a studio album appears in no
context and still blocks; '(Live)' on 'Live at Wembley' correctly matches —
owning the live album IS owning the live cut. Wired into
_calculate_track_confidence, so every check_track_exists consumer (wishlist
cleanup, discography dedup, repair jobs) benefits.
Fix 2 — the artist-page ownership endpoint's album gate: when album-aware
narrowing eliminates EVERY library candidate (the source's album naming just
doesn't resemble the library's — 'Jillette Johnson | OurVinyl Sessions' vs
'Champagne Supernova (OurVinyl Sessions)' ~0.5), fall back to artist-wide
title matching instead of declaring everything unowned off a failed
album-NAME comparison.
Tests: 8 — the exact reported pair end-to-end through check_track_exists,
word-boundary containment ('live' in 'alive' doesn't count), version-marker
safety both ways, and prefix songs still blocked. 1125 matching/wishlist/
library tests pass.
