`_create_finding` silently dedup-skipped re-discovered issues but
the caller incremented `findings_created` regardless. So a re-scan
that found the same issues as a prior scan reported 364 findings
in the badge while 0 NEW pending rows hit the db, leaving the
findings tab empty.
`_create_finding` now returns bool (True on insert, False on
dedup-skip / db error). All 16 repair jobs updated to only
increment `findings_created` on True. Added `findings_skipped_dedup`
counter surfaced in scan log: "Done: X scanned, 0 fixed, 0
findings (363 already existed), 0 errors".
Also fixed a missing `job_id` kwarg in album_tag_consistency that
was silently breaking finding creation for that scan.
Self-review of the previous commit found a real false-positive risk in
the new filename-bucket pass: two unrelated songs that happen to share
a canonical filename (e.g. ``Yellow.mp3`` by Coldplay vs by some other
artist) would be grouped because all metadata gates were dropped.
The filename pass now layers a safety net under ``require_metadata_match=False``:
- If both rows carry a duration: must agree within 3 seconds. Same
source download = identical duration; a 3+ second gap means
different recordings.
- Else if both rows carry an artist: relaxed 0.6 similarity check —
catches dedup orphans that share an artist tag while rejecting
strangers-with-same-filename.
- Else (no duration AND at least one artist blank): skip — too little
signal to safely group.
5 additional regression tests cover the false-positive prevention
paths plus the genuine dedup-orphan scenarios that must still be
caught after the safety net.
Two related bugs reported on Discord by Mushy.
1. The watchlist re-downloaded the same OST track up to 7 times.
``is_track_missing_from_library`` compared Spotify's album name and
the media-server scan's album name with a raw SequenceMatcher at a
strict 0.85 threshold. Compilations and soundtracks routinely fail
this — Spotify reports
``"Napoleon Dynamite (Music From The Motion Picture)"`` while the
Plex / Navidrome / Jellyfin tag scan saves it as
``"Napoleon Dynamite OST"``. Raw similarity ≈ 0.49, so the scanner
declared the track missing on every 30-minute scan and added it back
to the wishlist. The wishlist then issued a fresh download. slskd
appended ``_<19-digit-ns-timestamp>`` to each new copy because the
target file already existed, and the user ended up with seven copies
of one song in one folder.
Fix: extract two pure helpers — ``_normalize_album_for_match``
strips qualifier parentheticals (Music From X, OST, Deluxe Edition,
Remastered, Anniversary, etc.) and trailing dash-clauses;
``_albums_likely_match`` checks equality after normalization,
substring containment, and a relaxed 0.6 fuzzy ratio. A volume /
part / disc / standalone-trailing-number guard rejects pairs like
``"Greatest Hits Vol. 1"`` vs ``"Greatest Hits Vol. 2"`` so the
relaxed threshold doesn't introduce false positives on serialized
releases. After this change the Napoleon Dynamite case collapses
to ``"napoleon dynamite" == "napoleon dynamite"`` via the equality
short-circuit and the redownload loop dies.
2. The duplicate detector found only one of the seven dupe files.
The detector buckets tracks by the first 4 chars of their normalized
tag title. Files written by slskd directly into a library folder
often get inconsistent (or blank) tags from the media-server rescan,
so the seven copies were bucketed apart by parsed title and never
compared.
Fix: refactor the per-bucket comparison into ``_scan_bucket``, then
add a second pass — ``_build_filename_buckets`` re-buckets leftover
tracks by canonical filename stem (slskd dedup tail stripped via
``_strip_slskd_dedup_suffix``, same regex the import-cleanup PR uses)
plus extension. Filename agreement is itself strong evidence the
files came from the same source download, so the second pass calls
``_scan_bucket`` with ``require_metadata_match=False`` to skip the
title / artist / cross-album gates. The same-physical-file guard
still runs so bind-mount duplicates aren't flagged.
72 new regression tests across two files cover the album-match
helpers (28 tests including the Napoleon Dynamite scenario, 7 volume
disagreements, 8 positive/negative pairs, 5 defensive cases) and the
new filename-bucket pass (16 tests across bucket construction, scan
integration, and existing title-pass behavior). Full pytest 1509
passed; ruff clean.
