Phase 2 of the redesign. The tool that judged quality by extension and auto-dumped
matches into the wishlist is gone; quality scanning is now the reviewed
quality_upgrade repair job.
Removed:
- Frontend: Tools-page Quality Scanner card, its JS handlers/poller/socket listener,
help tooltip + tour entry (webui index.html, core.js, helper.js, wishlist-tools.js).
- Backend: /api/quality-scanner/{start,status,stop} endpoints, the in-memory state +
executor + 1s socket broadcast, the QualityScannerDeps/run_quality_scanner shim.
- core/discovery/quality_scanner.py: the auto-acting worker + deps class (the shared
match/normalize helpers stay — the new job imports them).
Rewired:
- Automation 'start_quality_scan' action now triggers the quality_upgrade repair job
via repair_worker.run_job_now() (AutomationDeps gains run_repair_job_now, drops the
4 scanner fields). Action block's vestigial scope field removed (scope lives in the
job's settings now). NOTE: the 'quality_scan_completed' trigger no longer fires (the
repair job doesn't emit it).
- Updated all automation test _build_deps helpers + conftest tool-progress harness;
deleted the obsolete worker test. 528 affected tests pass; 6123 collect cleanly.
QUALITY_TIERS / _get_quality_tier_from_extension kept (used elsewhere).
Persist organize_by_playlist on mirrored playlists and run playlist-folder
downloads from the auto-sync pipeline instead of the global wishlist phase.
Register SoulSync library rows after playlist-folder post-processing, route
failed organize batches to the wishlist correctly, and skip sync-time
unmatched wishlist only when organize download handles retries.
Invalidate stale playlist track caches on refresh (Spotify and Deezer ARL),
re-mirror on refetch, and improve standalone playlist modals (re-analysis,
Open in Mirrored). Add filesystem missing-track detection and tests.

Reproduced: selecting Fresh Tape (or any kind never generated before)
and running the pipeline silently skipped — UI showed
"No tracks in Fresh Tape — skipping sync" with no clue why.
Root cause: ensure_playlist auto-creates the playlist row on first
access with `track_count=0` and `last_generated_at=NULL`, but
`is_stale=0` by default (the column default — fresh rows aren't
"stale", they're "never generated"). Pipeline only refreshed when
`is_stale=True` OR `refresh_first=True`, so first-run rows fell
through both branches → read the empty snapshot → skip.
Fix: pipeline now also refreshes when `existing.last_generated_at is
None`. Same control flow, one extra condition:
if refresh_first OR is_stale OR last_generated_at is None:
refresh
else:
read existing snapshot
This is the right signal: "has the generator ever run for this row"
is exactly what `last_generated_at` tracks (the column is set in
`_persist_snapshot` after every successful refresh).
Stubs in test_handlers_personalized_pipeline.py updated to expose
`last_generated_at` on their SimpleNamespace returns so the new
attribute read doesn't AttributeError. Fresh stubs get a non-None
timestamp so they're treated as already-generated; the new test
`test_never_generated_snapshot_triggers_first_refresh` pins the
first-run-forces-refresh behavior with `last_generated_at=None`.
Snapshots now track when their source data changes. Watchlist scan
emits stale flags on the playlists whose underlying pool just got
refreshed; the next pipeline run sees the flag and regenerates the
snapshot before syncing, so the server playlist never lags the source.
Schema:
- new `is_stale INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0` column on
`personalized_playlists`, plus an idempotent ADD COLUMN migration
in `ensure_personalized_schema` for installs created before this PR.
- `PlaylistRecord.is_stale: bool = False` exposed on the dataclass so
callers can branch on freshness without re-querying.
Manager:
- new `mark_kinds_stale(kinds, profile_id=None)` flips the flag in
bulk for a list of kinds (used by upstream data refreshers).
- `_persist_snapshot` clears `is_stale = 0` on successful refresh.
- SELECT statements + `_row_to_record` updated to read the column
(with tuple-form length guard for safety).
Pipeline:
- `_build_payloads_for_kinds` now branches: refresh_first=True OR
`existing.is_stale` -> refresh_playlist, else read existing
snapshot. So the auto-refresh kicks in without needing the user to
toggle the refresh-each-run option.
Watchlist scanner emits stale flags at three sites:
- after `update_discovery_pool_timestamp` -> marks pool-fed kinds
stale: hidden_gems, discovery_shuffle, popular_picks, time_machine,
genre_playlist, daily_mix.
- after release_radar `save_curated_playlist` -> marks `fresh_tape`.
- after discovery_weekly `save_curated_playlist` -> marks `archives`.
All three calls go through a module-level `_mark_personalized_kinds_stale`
helper that builds a PersonalizedPlaylistManager with `deps=None` (only
DB access is needed for the flag update — no generator dispatch). Each
call is wrapped in try/except so a flag failure can never abort the
scan itself.
Tests:
- new `TestStaleFlag` class in `test_personalized_manager.py` (6
tests): default-false, single-kind flip, multi-kind, profile
scoping, refresh-clears, empty-list noop.
- two new pipeline tests pin the auto-refresh dispatch:
`test_stale_snapshot_auto_refreshes_even_without_refresh_first`
and `test_non_stale_snapshot_skips_refresh`.
- existing stub-manager `SimpleNamespace` returns gained
`is_stale=False` so the new attribute read doesn't AttributeError.
Full suite: 3391 pass.
User-facing WHATS_NEW entry added under 2.5.2 (above the prior
pipeline auto-sync entry) describing the auto-refresh behavior.
Follow-up to the personalized-playlists standardization PR. New
`personalized_pipeline` automation action syncs selected discover-
page playlists (Hidden Gems / Discovery Shuffle / Time Machine /
Genre / Daily Mix / Fresh Tape / The Archives / Seasonal Mix) to
the active media server + queues missing tracks for download.
Same pattern as the existing mirrored `playlist_pipeline` but two
phases instead of four — no REFRESH (no external source to re-pull)
and no DISCOVER (manager-backed snapshots are already metadata-
matched). Pipeline shape:
SNAPSHOT → SYNC → WISHLIST
Where SNAPSHOT either reads the persisted track list from
`PersonalizedPlaylistManager` (default) or refreshes it first when
`refresh_first=true` (cron use case: regenerate Hidden Gems nightly
and sync the fresh set).
Shared helper extraction:
PHASE 3 (SYNC loop) + PHASE 4 (WISHLIST tail) lifted out of mirrored
`playlist_pipeline` into `core/automation/handlers/_pipeline_shared.py`
as `run_sync_and_wishlist(deps, automation_id, playlists, sync_one_fn,
sync_id_for_fn, ...)`. Both pipelines call it. Mirrored injects
`auto_sync_playlist` as the per-playlist sync function; personalized
injects a thin wrapper that launches `_run_sync_task` directly with
a pre-built tracks_json. Same sync-state polling / progress emission
/ status counting / wishlist trigger logic — 0 duplication.
Files added:
- core/automation/handlers/_pipeline_shared.py
- core/automation/handlers/personalized_pipeline.py
- tests/automation/test_handlers_personalized_pipeline.py
Files changed:
- core/automation/handlers/playlist_pipeline.py: PHASE 3+4 replaced
with shared helper call (~100 lines deleted, 1 helper invocation
added; behavior identical).
- core/automation/deps.py: new `build_personalized_manager` field
(lazy builder so the pipeline gets a fresh PersonalizedPlaylistManager
per run).
- core/automation/handlers/__init__.py + registration.py: register
`personalized_pipeline` action with the shared `pipeline_running`
guard so it can't overlap mirrored.
- core/automation/blocks.py: new `personalized_pipeline` block
declaration with config_fields (kinds multi-select, refresh_first,
skip_wishlist).
- web_server.py: thread `_build_personalized_manager` into
AutomationDeps construction.
- All 5 automation test fixtures: `_build_deps` adds
`build_personalized_manager=lambda: None` stub.
- tests/automation/test_handler_registration.py:
EXPECTED_ACTION_NAMES + EXPECTED_GUARDED_ACTIONS gain
`personalized_pipeline`.
Trigger schema:
{
"_automation_id": "...",
"kinds": [
{"kind": "hidden_gems"},
{"kind": "time_machine", "variant": "1980s"},
{"kind": "seasonal_mix", "variant": "halloween"}
],
"refresh_first": false,
"skip_wishlist": false
}
Tests (14 new, 178 automation total):
- _track_to_sync_shape: basic shape, source ID fallback chain,
no-id returns empty string
- empty config / non-list kinds / empty kinds list all return
error + clear pipeline_running flag
- _build_payloads_for_kinds: skips invalid entries, skips kinds
with no tracks, refresh_first vs ensure dispatch, payload shape
+ sync_id format, manager exception swallowed continues
- _sync_personalized_playlist: launches background thread + returns
status='started'
- happy path: stubbed sync_states drives helper to completion, flag
cleaned up
Full suite: 3383 passed.
Note: the trigger UI block declares config_fields but the frontend
doesn't yet render the `personalized_playlist_select` multi-select
type — usable today via API; polished UI ships in a follow-up
frontend PR.
