Completes the Watchlist+Wishlist pair (same as music). Watchlist monitors
shows/channels for new content; Wishlist is the wanted/missing queue
(movies, one-offs, failed grabs to retry). Placeholder for now.
Following (Watchlist) and the download queue (Downloads) are core to a
movies/TV/YouTube manager — same names as music so they read intuitively.
Both wired via data-video-page (no inline onclick); placeholder for now.
- Subtitle on the video side is now 'Video Manager' (was 'Video Sync & Manager').
Music keeps 'Music Sync & Manager' — sync fits music, not video.
- Toggle is now a proper animated pill: a gradient thumb slides under the active
side (CSS-driven off body[data-side], spring easing), each side has a small
icon (music note / film), inset track. Still data-attr wired, no inline onclick.
First slice of the video side, on the experimental branch. Purely additive and
fully isolated from music:
- A Music | Video toggle in the sidebar header; clicking flips body[data-side]
(remembered in localStorage). The shared shell (logo, user, Support, Version)
stays; only the nav set + subtitle swap.
- A second sidebar nav (.video-nav) with the video pages — Dashboard, Search,
Discover, Library, Calendar, Import, Settings, Issues, Help & Docs — shown via
CSS off body[data-side]. Service Status is hidden on the video side.
- A placeholder content host; real video pages land later.
Isolation contract held: index.html is +51/-0 (no music markup changed), music
JS/CSS untouched, nothing in music references the controller. The controller
(webui/static/video/video-side.js) is a self-contained IIFE wired purely via
addEventListener (no globals, no inline onclick) — so it can't affect music and
doesn't trip the script-split-integrity contract.
Tests: 6 video-shell structural/isolation tests + 64 script-integrity green.
The Deezer ARL field round-trips a redaction sentinel for a saved-but-untouched
secret (shown as dots). The save path already guards against the sentinel
overwriting the real token (ConfigManager.set), so the ARL was never actually
lost — but the connection TEST read the field value and sent the sentinel as the
token, so Deezer returned USER_ID=0 ('Invalid ARL token') after navigating away
and back. That false failure made it look like the ARL kept resetting.
Fix:
- ConfigManager.resolve_secret(key, posted): empty/sentinel posted value -> the
stored value; a real string -> a genuine new secret. Reusable for any secret
connection-test (single source of truth).
- /api/deezer-download/test now resolves the effective ARL via resolve_secret, so
an untouched field tests the stored token.
- testDeezerDownloadConnection() strips the sentinel before sending (untouched ->
empty -> backend uses the saved token).
Seam/regression tests for resolve_secret (sentinel/empty/none -> stored, real ->
passthrough, nothing stored -> empty). JS integrity 64 green.
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).
When the modal opens instantly (before data loads), it was rendered in the
'fresh' phase — showing clickable Start Discovery / Wing It buttons over an empty
table, even though discovery is already auto-starting. Open it in 'discovering'
instead: the footer becomes the non-interactive 'Discovering matches…' info line
and the progress text reads 'Starting discovery…' instead of 'Click Start
Discovery to begin…'. Only Close stays clickable while the table loads.
The prior UX commit removed a redundant frontend pre-fetch, but the modal was
still only opened at the END of openTidalDiscoveryModal — AFTER awaiting
/api/tidal/discovery/start, whose backend handler fetches the whole playlist
synchronously (Tidal sleeps 1s/page, ~10s) before responding. So the modal still
didn't appear for ~10s. Now open the modal first (with a 'Loading playlist from
Tidal…' note), then fire the discovery-start POST and begin polling; return early
so the shared open at the bottom is skipped for this path.
Clicking Discover on a fresh Tidal card awaited /api/tidal/playlist/<id> (which
paginates Tidal with a 1s sleep per page + rate-limit throttle, ~10s for a large
playlist) BEFORE opening the modal — and the backend discovery worker then
re-fetched the same playlist anyway. Now that the modal builds its rows from the
backend discovery results (#867), open it immediately and let discovery populate
it: no blocking pre-fetch, no redundant double-fetch of the playlist.
Two issues in the same path:
1. The shared discovery modal pre-renders one row per track from a
separately-fetched frontend track list, then the poll dropped any backend
result without a pre-rendered row (if (!row) return). When the frontend's
track fetch came back rate-limited/partial (~21) while discovery's own fetch
got all 59, the surplus results vanished. Now the modal CREATES a row for any
result lacking one, so authoritative backend results drive the list (fixes
all sources sharing the modal).
2. get_playlist hydrated a whole relationships page in one _get_tracks_batch
call, but Tidal caps filter[id] at 20/request, silently truncating larger
pages. Chunk to the cap like get_album_tracks already does.
Seam + regression tests (tests/test_tidal_playlist_batch_chunking.py).
- Settings: 'Playlists Folder' path field (Unlock pattern, separate-root help
text), a Symlinks/Copies selector, and a 'Rebuild playlist folders now' button
(standard test-button style). Wired through PATH_INPUT_IDS / load / save, plus
'playlists' added to the settings save allowlist so it persists.
- POST /api/playlists/materialize/rebuild → rebuild_organized_playlists_from_db:
rebuilds every organize-by-playlist folder from CURRENT ownership, re-matching
each track with check_track_exists (name, not IDs) so it self-heals after a
reorganize / membership change. +1 test.
70 materialize tests + JS integrity pass; settings round-trip wiring verified.
- The download-modal 'Organize by Playlist' toggle had no onchange, so flipping
it never saved or synced the saved per-playlist preference. Add the handler
(source auto-derived from the ref) so both controls read/write the one
organize_by_playlist value — manual action persists, the other reflects it.
- loadDashboardSyncHistory polled /api/sync/history every 30s even while the
launch-PIN/login gate was active, 401-spamming the log. Skip when locked, and
on a 401 (stale session after a restart) surface the unlock screen so it
self-heals instead of spamming.
Per feedback — instead of two export buttons (one on the watchlist filter bar, one
in the library header), there's now a single "Export" button. The modal gains a
Watchlist | Library scope toggle at the top; switching scope re-fetches and shows/
hides the "library counts" option (library-only). One place, both rosters.
Also relaxed the two export endpoint wiring tests — they asserted an empty DB,
which is false in a shared test run (the artists table may already hold rows); now
they assert a valid JSON array + headers/columns instead. The endpoints are
unchanged and verified against real data.
Extends the watchlist export to the full library. The exporter is now general
(core/exports/artist_export.py, renamed from watchlist_export) — adds tidal/qobuz
links and an extra_fields passthrough, so the library export also carries
lastfm/genius URLs + soul_id, and an optional "library counts" toggle adds owned
album/track counts per artist.
- GET /api/library/artists/export?format=&links=&contents= — pulls every artists
row, normalizes onto the canonical *_artist_id keys, optionally GROUP-BY counts
for album/track totals.
- The export modal is now openArtistExportModal(scope): "Export Library" button in
the library header + the existing "Export" on the watchlist bar (a thin wrapper).
Library mode shows the extra "library counts" toggle.
Tests (11): builder across formats + the new tidal/qobuz links + extra_fields
columns; watchlist + library endpoint wiring. 64 integrity green; ruff clean.
An "Export" button on the watchlist filter bar opens a modal (same aesthetic as the
artist DB-record inspector) to export your whole watchlist roster — each artist's
name + source IDs (spotify / musicbrainz / deezer / discogs / itunes / amazon),
with an optional "external links" toggle that adds the discography URLs built from
those IDs. Live preview, copy, and download in the chosen format.
- core/exports/watchlist_export.py: pure builder (json/csv/txt + links, present-IDs
only, deterministic columns) — the single source of truth, fully unit-tested.
- GET /api/watchlist/export?format=&links= shapes the roster + returns it (with
X-Export-Count / X-Export-Ext headers for the modal).
- Frontend reuses the DB-record helpers (_jsonSyntaxHighlight / _arecCopy).
Tests (8): builder across json/csv/txt, links on/off, present-ids-only, empty +
bad-format fallback, mime/ext, and endpoint wiring. ruff clean; 64 integrity green.
Scoped to the watchlist for v1; library-wide export + a "library contents"
(owned albums/tracks) option are natural follow-ups.
A maintenance job to keep the music library tidy — finds empty folders left behind
by imports/relocations/deletions (empty artist/album dirs, or dirs holding only OS
junk like .DS_Store/Thumbs.db) and removes them.
Safety is the focus (deleting directories is destructive):
- only TRULY empty folders are flagged — a folder with a cover image or any audio
is never touched; only OS-junk files count as "no real content" (a setting),
- the library root + symlinked dirs are never removed,
- walks bottom-up so a parent left empty by its removable children cascades,
- the apply handler RE-CHECKS emptiness at delete time, so a folder that gained a
file between scan and apply is left alone.
dir_is_removable + remove_empty_folder are pure/injectable seams. Wired through the
job registry, repair_worker apply handler (_fix_empty_folder), fixable-types, and
the findings UI. Opt-in (default off), weekly interval.
Tests (10): removable decision (empty / real-file / surviving-subdir / junk-only /
strict mode) + apply re-check (removes empty + junk, refuses content/root/symlink).
Repair + integrity suites green; ruff clean.
The per-member login password was easy to miss — the lock button had no dedicated
styling and nothing showed who was actually stranded. Now, when login mode is on:
- a banner explains every member needs a login password (+ to use the lock button)
- each member row shows a status pill: "⚠ No login password" (red) or "🔒 Login
ready" (green) — so you can see at a glance who can't sign in yet
- the lock button is properly styled (it had none) and pulses red when that member
has no password, so the action you need is obvious
When login mode is off, none of this shows (no noise). Pure UI/clarity — no
behavior change.
Invariant: while security.require_login is on, every profile must have a login
password or it's locked out. Previously only the admin's own anti-lockout existed,
so members could be stranded (created without a password, or login flipped on while
passwordless members existed). Closed all the write-points:
core/security/login_provisioning.py (pure policy, single source of truth):
- members_without_password(profiles) — non-admin profiles that can't sign in
- create_needs_password(require_login) / removing_password_strands(require_login)
Wired into web_server:
- create_profile: while login is on, a new member must be given a password (400
otherwise) and it's set on creation.
- enable-login (settings save): refuses to turn login on while any member lacks a
password — lists them — same shape as the existing admin anti-lockout.
- set-password: refuses to CLEAR a password while login is on (would strand them).
UI: Create Profile form gains a login-password field (alongside the optional PIN);
the Manage Profiles per-member password button (prior commit) covers existing
members + changes.
Tests: pure policy seam + endpoint enforcement (create blocked w/o password when
on, allowed w/ password, no friction when off, clear blocked when on). 442
profile/settings/auth tests green; ruff clean.
Closes the gap where "Require login" was effectively admin-only: a member with no
password can't sign in and can't bootstrap one themselves (can't log in to reach
the setting). The set-password endpoint already allowed admin→anyone — this adds
the missing UI.
Each non-admin row in Manage Profiles gets a lock-icon button that opens an inline
form to set / change / remove that member's LOGIN password (separate from the
quick-switch PIN), with a confirm field + a hint explaining when it's used. Admin
rows don't get it (admin manages their own in Settings → Security, which keeps its
anti-lockout). textContent-only rendering, so a profile name can't inject markup.
Test: admin sets a member's password → the member can then authenticate
(verify_profile_password) and a wrong password fails; admin can clear it back to
no-login. 64 script-split integrity tests green.
Post-processing applies ReplayGain only to slskd/WebUI downloads — content added
via Lidarr, the REST API, or by hand never got it, and there was no way to (re)apply
RG to existing tracks or fix ones where analysis failed (raised in #437 + comments).
New ReplayGain Filler repair job (sibling of Lyrics/Cover Art fillers): scans for
tracks with no ReplayGain track-gain tag and creates a finding per track; the scan
only READS tags (cheap) and no-ops when ffmpeg is absent. Applying a finding runs
the same ffmpeg ebur128 analysis the import pipeline uses (gain = ref - LUFS) and
writes the RG tags in place — no moves, no re-matching. Opt-in (default off),
schedulable like the other maintenance jobs.
Wired: job registry, repair_worker apply handler (_fix_missing_replaygain) +
fixable-types, and the findings UI (label / fix-button / detail rows).
Tests: pure needs_replaygain decision (missing/blank/present/+0.00-is-tagged) +
the apply handler's analyze→compute→write seam with the pipeline gain formula,
ffmpeg-absent + missing-file guards, and registration. 93 repair tests green.
Beckid's ask: bypassing the login/PIN overlay shouldn't show the app pages at all,
not even the (data-less) chrome. The overlay was cosmetic-on-top; the static shell
sat behind it, so "Hide Distracting Items" exposed the empty UI.
Now the lock screens add body.app-locked, and a CSS rule hides every body child
except the two lock overlays themselves (display:none !important). Safari's
hide-element trick can only ADD hiding — it can't undo this rule — so removing the
overlay leaves a blank page. initApp() drops the class once authenticated (first
line, before component layout init). Defense-in-depth on top of the server-side
HTTP + WebSocket gating, which already blocks any actual data.
Targeted + safe: the app shows by default (no blank-screen risk); only an active
lock hides it. Profile picker (not a security lock) is unaffected.
A small glowing button at the bottom-right of the artist hero (library artists
only) opens a programmer-style modal showing the COMPLETE artists DB row — every
source id + match status, cached bios / tags / similar / urls, soul_id, timestamps,
the lot (62 columns) — plus owned album/track counts.
- Backend: GET /api/artist/<id>/record returns the full row with JSON-text columns
(genres, aliases, lastfm_tags/similar, discogs_urls, …) decoded into real
arrays/objects, + album/track counts. 404 for non-library artists.
- Frontend: editor-themed modal (Tokyo-night tokens) with a Fields tab (copyable,
filterable key/value rows) and a syntax-highlighted JSON tab. Copy-all-as-JSON,
per-value copy (HTTP/Docker clipboard fallback), and Save .json. Esc / click-out
to close. Helpers namespaced (_arecEsc) so they can't clobber the shared globals.
Tests: endpoint returns the full row with decoded JSON + counts; 404 for a missing
artist. 64 script-split integrity tests still green; ruff clean.
Per the release convention: WHATS_NEW + VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS carry only the
current release, with older cycles folded into the "Earlier" summary.
- WHATS_NEW '2.7.1': download verification & review (badge, persistence, review
queue), the #852 websocket login-bypass fix, the acoustid Relocate action (#704),
faster artist pages (#853), the LB-weekly un-wedge (#702), the torrent metaDL
stall + orphan fix, and the smaller fixes (#851/#840/search auto-select) +
contributor PRs (#845/#848/#850). 2.7.0 rolled into "Earlier versions".
- VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS: verification & review leads, security fix section,
fixes list, and an "Earlier in 2.7.0" aggregator replacing the 2.6.x one.
- Fixed the "Go to page" links: the downloads page id is 'active-downloads', not
'downloads' — the old entries' links silently did nothing.
The 'retag' fix corrects a mismatched file's tags/DB but leaves it in the WRONG
artist/album folder, so the library shows the right title while the file sits under
the previous track. AcoustID yields only title+artist (no reliable album), so an
in-place move has no safe target.
New 'relocate' action: retag the file, move it into Staging, drop the stale tracks
row, and clean up the emptied folder. The auto-import worker (which watches Staging)
re-identifies it with full metadata and files it correctly — reusing the import
pipeline instead of guessing a destination.
- core/repair_jobs/relocate.py: pure, injectable orchestration (retag -> move ->
drop row) + collision-safe staging_destination. Row is dropped only AFTER a
successful move, so a failed move never orphans the library entry.
- _fix_acoustid_mismatch gains the 'relocate' branch (thin wrapper: resolve path,
staging dir, drop-row closure, empty-parent cleanup).
- UI: "Relocate" button on the AcoustID-mismatch fix modal.
Tests (8): staging-dest collision suffixing; relocate happy path; tag-write failure
still relocates; FAILED move does NOT drop the row; no-tags skips write; a real
file move through safe_move_file; and a handler integration test (file moved to
staging + tracks row deleted end-to-end). Repair + integrity suites green.
On the Search page and the global search widget (both share createSearchController),
the source picker stayed empty when the active metadata source was Spotify-no-auth,
until you clicked Spotify manually.
Root cause: get_primary_source_status reports the no-auth composite as source
'spotify_free' (for display labelling). The controller's initActiveSource set
activeSource = 'spotify_free' (it's a valid SOURCE_LABELS entry), but the icon row
renders from SOURCE_ORDER, which only has 'spotify' — so no icon matched the active
source and nothing highlighted.
Fix: normalize 'spotify_free' -> 'spotify' when deriving the initial active source
(they're the same searchable source; the picker only has a Spotify icon). Now
no-auth auto-selects Spotify like plain Spotify does. One spot, fixes both surfaces.
A discography page fires 70+ cover-art requests at once. Routed through
the service worker one-for-one, that burst overruns the browser's
per-host connection pool (~6); the overflow fetches reject, and the
cache-first strategy mapped each rejection to Response.error() — which
Firefox surfaces as NS_ERROR_INTERCEPTION_FAILED, a hard, *uncached*
image failure for that load. The page renders artless cards on first
visit and only "heals" on reload (cached images shrink the burst).
Fix the image path three ways:
- Cap concurrent image fetches (semaphore, 6) so the burst queues
instead of saturating the connection pool — the actual first-load fix.
- Retry a rejected fetch once with a short backoff; most failures are
transient connection-cap rejections that clear as the burst drains.
- On final failure return a benign 504 instead of Response.error(), so a
dead image degrades to a normal broken image (recoverable next nav)
rather than NS_ERROR_INTERCEPTION_FAILED.
Cache hits bypass the throttle entirely. Static-asset strategy is
unchanged.

Going forward these only carry the current release plus one brief "earlier versions"
summary — no accumulating per-version backlog.
- WHATS_NEW: replaced the full 2.6.x→2.5.x backlog with a single '2.7.0' block
(per-profile accounts, login/recovery/reverse-proxy, the fixes, artist-sync) + an
"Earlier versions" one-liner. The "Older Versions" button auto-hides with one
version, so the nav still works.
- VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS: five curated 2.7.0 sections + a brief "Earlier in 2.6.x".
- Content drawn from the 2.7.0 pr_description. Added a convention comment at the top
of WHATS_NEW. JS validated (string-aware brace/quote check clean); 64 integrity
tests pass.
After saving a password or recovery question, a refresh made the section look
unset (passwords are never echoed back to the browser), so it seemed like you had
to redo it. Now the saved state is reflected:
- "✓ A login password is set" appears when the admin has a password; the field
becomes "Enter a new password to change it".
- "✓ Recovery question saved: <question>" appears, the saved question is pre-
selected (preset or custom), and the answer field becomes "Enter a new answer to
change it".
- Shown both on load (applyLoginSavedState from /api/profiles, which now includes
recovery_question — not secret, already shown on the sign-in screen) and
immediately after saving.
64 integrity tests pass.
Mirror the PIN setup's confirm step so a typo can't silently set a password you
can't reproduce. Both the Step 1 admin password (Settings) and the forgot-password
reset (login screen) now require entering it twice and reject a mismatch before
saving. 64 integrity tests pass.
The security section had grown into a flat pile of toggles with hidden
dependencies. Regrouped into three labelled cards so it reads top-to-bottom:
- 🔑 Lock with a PIN — set PIN (Step 1) → Require PIN
- 👤 User accounts (login) — Step 1 admin password → Step 2 recovery question →
Step 3 Require login. The Step 3 toggle is now visually LOCKED (greyed +
disabled + "set the admin password first" hint) until an admin password exists,
so the anti-lockout rule is obvious instead of surfacing as a 400 on save. It
unlocks the moment the password is saved.
- 🌐 Reverse proxy & remote access — the proxy toggle, with the auth-proxy header
nested under it (indented), plus WebSocket origins.
- get_all_profiles/get_profile now expose has_password + has_recovery so the UI
can reflect setup state; updateRequireLoginGate() drives the lock.
- New .security-subgroup/.security-subhead/.security-nested/.security-locked CSS.
All IDs + handlers preserved. Inert unless used; default install unaffected.
64 script-split integrity tests pass.
- Settings → Security: a recovery-question picker (5 presets + Custom) + answer
field + Save, posting to /api/profiles/1/set-recovery. handleRecoveryQuestionChange
reveals the custom box.
- Login screen: a "Forgot password?" link opens a recovery view — enter username →
fetch your question → answer + new password → reset → reload signed in. Reuses the
launch-PIN overlay styling/structure (entry + recovery views).
All inert unless login mode is on, so a default/LAN install never sees any of it.
64 script-split integrity tests pass (every new handler resolves).
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).
Config is DB-backed (metadata.app_config) — there is no config.json — so the
reverse-proxy settings I added earlier had NO way to be set by a user and were
effectively dead. Added them to Settings → Security, next to the launch-PIN toggle:
- "Behind a reverse proxy" checkbox (security.trust_reverse_proxy) — help text notes
it's for nginx/Caddy/Traefik+TLS, to leave OFF for direct/LAN http://, and that it
needs a restart (applied at app init).
- "Auth proxy user header" field (security.auth_proxy_header) — e.g. Remote-User,
with the must-strip-client-headers warning; blank = off.
Wired into the existing settings load + save; the save loop already persists every
key in the security object via config_manager.set, so no backend change needed.
Fixed Support/REVERSE-PROXY.md to point at Settings → Security instead of a
nonexistent config.json. Off by default → zero impact for direct users.
64 script-split integrity 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.
The discovery FIX → Confirm flow 404'd with "Discovery state not found" whenever
the in-memory discovery state was gone — a server restart, or an imported
playlist that wasn't discovered in THIS process — even though the card is still
shown from persisted data (the reporter's log shows "Returning 0 stored ...
playlists for hydration", i.e. the in-memory states were empty).
The thing that actually makes a manual fix STICK is writing it to the discovery
cache (save_discovery_cache_match), keyed by the original track's name + artist —
which doesn't need the in-memory state at all. But the endpoint 404'd on the
missing state before reaching that write, so the fix was dead after a restart.
- update_discovery_match (core/discovery/endpoints.py) now only does the in-memory
result update when the state exists; the durable discovery-cache write always
runs, falling back to client-provided original_name/original_artist when there's
no in-memory state. With neither a state nor originals it still 404s (unchanged).
- The FIX confirm (wishlist-tools.js) now sends original_name/original_artist
(from the source track it already has) so the backend can key the cache.
Covers all sources that share the helper (tidal/deezer/qobuz/spotify-public).
Tests: no-state-but-originals saves the cache + returns success; no-state-no-
originals still 404s; existing with-state path unchanged. 73 discovery 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.
