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.
Review/regression fix: the shared-app gate I added wrongly required a token
cache even for profiles that set their OWN app creds (legacy), breaking the
per-profile caching tests. Now a per-profile client is built when the profile
has its own app creds OR has connected (its own token cache) — otherwise it
falls back to the global/admin client. Made the fallback-safety tests
order-independent (monkeypatch get_spotify_client to a sentinel) since the real
global client isn't a stable singleton across the suite.
10 metadata-cache + resolution tests pass together.
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.
The model shifted from "admin creates shared credential sets, users pick" to
"each profile self-auths its own playlist accounts". Removed the admin-facing
Connected Accounts manager: the Settings section, credential-sets.js, its CSS,
the script tag + integrity-registry entry, and the loadSettingsData hook.
The credential-sets backend (service_credentials tables + /api/credentials and
/api/profiles/me/services endpoints) is left in place but dormant — additive,
tested, harmless — rather than churn migrations that already ran on installs.
Per-profile self-auth reuses the existing per-profile columns + the
get_*_for_profile client pattern instead. The Service Status modal (admin-only)
is unaffected.
Active metadata source / media server / download source are app-wide
infrastructure, so the quick-switch modal is admin-only again:
openServiceSwitchModal() no-ops (with a toast) for non-admins, and the sidebar
Service Status loses its clickable affordance for them. Per-profile playlist
account selection will live on its own user-accessible surface, not here.
Regression from the #832 server-side launch gate (Beckid). On a PIN-required,
unverified session the gate 401'd /api/setup/status — which the frontend checks
BEFORE the PIN screen. The 401 left setup_complete undefined, so `!undefined`
relaunched the full setup wizard on every visit (cancel → PIN screen worked,
which was the tell).
Two-layer fix:
- Allowlist /api/setup/status in the launch gate (it's a harmless boolean, no
secrets) so the frontend gets the real answer even while locked.
- Make the frontend fail-safe: only launch the wizard on a definitive
setup_complete === false from an OK response — never on a 401/locked/ambiguous
one.
Test: locked session still 401s data endpoints but /api/setup/status returns
{setup_complete:true}; added a gate-allowlist assertion. 21 gate tests pass.
The Plex logo is a white wordmark, so it vanished on the modal's white logo
disc (it only shows on Settings because those toggles sit on dark). Added a
per-logo `dark` flag (Plex + SoulSync) that renders their disc dark (#1f2329)
across the hero, rail, and option cards, so the white logo is visible. Other
logos keep the white disc.
The modal's server logos were the odd ones out — Jellyfin used the wide
jellyfin.org wordmark and Navidrome a stretched navidrome.org image. Switched
the modal's _SS_SERVER_INFO (drives both the rail and the option grid) to clean
square icons: Plex's plex-logo.svg, Navidrome's tweakers.net icon, and the
homarr-labs Jellyfin PNG. Also swapped the Settings page Jellyfin toggle from
the jellyfin.org wordmark to the same homarr-labs icon so they match.
Follow-up to the modal fix: the sidebar Service Status + dashboard service card
also mislabeled "Spotify (no auth)" as plain "Spotify". They read the status
`source`, which came straight from metadata.fallback_source ('spotify') with no
awareness of the metadata.spotify_free flag.
- get_primary_source_status now reports a DISPLAY source of 'spotify_free' when
fallback_source='spotify' + metadata.spotify_free is set (the raw 'spotify' is
still used for the auth/connected checks), and treats the free path's
availability as "connected" so the dot isn't falsely red on a no-auth setup.
- getMetadataSourceLabel maps 'spotify_free' → "Spotify (no auth)"; the status
presentation treats spotify_free as part of the Spotify family (session /
rate-limit / cooldown display still work). Added a SOURCE_LABELS entry.
- testDashboardConnection normalizes spotify_free → spotify (the only logic
consumer of the source value — the dashboard Test button).
Routing is unchanged (the real source stays 'spotify' + free flag); this is
purely the display layer. Settings was always correct. 64 integrity tests pass;
the 2 failing soundcloud tests are pre-existing (confirmed identical on a clean
tree).
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.
Frontend for the credential-set feature, matching the blocklist/house modal
style. Functional end to end against the existing endpoints; visuals are a
clean first pass to refine.
Admin manager (Settings → Connected Accounts, admin-only — empty for non-admins):
per service, the saved accounts render as pills with a delete ✕, and "+ Add
account" reveals an inline form built from each service's required fields.
Create POSTs /api/credentials; secrets are entered but never read back (the API
only returns id/label). Loads via loadCredentialSets() at the end of
loadSettingsData().
Quick-switch modal (sidebar Service Status is now clickable for ALL profiles):
shows, per service the admin set up, a "Default" pill + one pill per account,
highlighting the profile's current choice; clicking persists via
/api/profiles/me/services/select and re-renders. Empty-state message when the
admin hasn't configured any alternates.
webui/static/credential-sets.js (new, registered in index.html), house-style
CSS appended, sidebar made clickable, settings hook added. Registered the new
module in the script-split integrity test (onclick coverage). 64 integrity
tests pass; real-app smoke confirms index renders, the asset serves, and
admin-create → per-profile-list round-trips.
Note: selections are stored but not yet consumed by the live clients (the
resolver remains dormant) — wiring playlist-pull/enrichment to use a profile's
selected account is the next step.
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).
The hybrid download-source list set item.draggable=true and the help text said
"drag to reorder", but no drag handlers were wired — only the arrow buttons
worked (and _syncHybridOrderFromDOM was dead code). Wired real
dragstart/dragover/drop on each item, reordering _hybridVisualOrder (the same
model moveHybridSource uses) then rebuilding + autosaving. Added grab/grabbing
cursors + a dragging state. The arrow buttons still work unchanged.
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).
Groundwork for admin-created, per-profile-switchable credential sets ("pills")
across auth services (Spotify/Tidal/Deezer/Qobuz/Plex/Jellyfin/Navidrome).
Strictly additive and dormant — nothing reads it at runtime yet, so zero
behaviour change for existing installs.
- core/credentials/store.py: pure service registry + payload validation +
stale-safe active-set selection (pick_active_credential falls back to None
when a selected set was deleted, so a profile never breaks).
- migration service_credentials_v1: two new tables — service_credentials
(admin-created named sets; payload Fernet-encrypted at rest) and
profile_service_credentials (each profile's selected set per service).
- MusicDatabase CRUD: create/update/delete/list/get_service_credential
(list never returns the payload; get decrypts for the resolver), plus
set/get_profile_service_credential and resolve_profile_service_credential
(returns the profile's active payload or None → caller uses global default).
Tests: 12 — pure validation + stale-safe selection, and real-temp-DB storage
proving encryption round-trips, payload never lists, dup(service,label)
rejected, per-profile/per-service resolution, and delete clearing dangling
selections to a clean fallback. 95 migration/DB tests still pass.
The #831 watchlist work added the standalone webui/static/watchlist-history.js
(loaded in index.html) but didn't add it to NON_SPLIT_JS, so the onclick-
coverage test couldn't see its functions and failed on openWatchlistHistoryModal
referenced in the History button. Register it alongside its sibling
origin-history.js — same fix the registry comment was added for.
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 cards are good but everything around them was basic — six
identical grey pill buttons, a plain header, and a dated Global Settings modal.
Action chips (artist-detail button language — tinted gradient + hover lift +
icon scale): Scan is the primary CTA with the accent gradient and a shimmer
sweep; the rest get per-hue identity (similar-artists blue, settings slate,
origins green, history amber, blocklist/cancel red). One .wl-chip base class
with a --chip-rgb variable per hue. Header count/timer become pill meta chips
(timer accent-tinted).
Chip-safe labels: the scan/update handlers set button.textContent, which would
wipe the new svg + shimmer children on first use — added _wlSetChipLabel()
(preserves icon/shimmer, swaps the text node) and converted all 11 writes.
Global Settings modal: emoji + inline-styled header replaced with the
origins/blocklist house-style head (title/sub/✕); option cards now show live
checked-state feedback (:has(:checked) accent ring + grayscale-dimmed icons
when off — also upgrades the per-artist config modal, same components); the
master-override toggle gets a CSS .enabled treatment instead of the hard-coded
green inline border the JS used to write.
All element ids/onclicks unchanged; JS syntax-checked; 131 watchlist tests pass.
Boulder's screenshots: the v1 deck shifted around depending on what data had
arrived (the album row vanished entirely without art, leaving floating
"Processing…/Processing…" text), the images were small, and the feed header
floated in empty space. Redesigned in the artist-detail-page language:
- Big 148px square portrait (rounded, shadowed) anchors the left side, with
the current album stamped as a 62px overlay badge in its corner — when art
is missing, both keep their slot and show a glyph placeholder instead of
collapsing, so the deck NEVER changes shape mid-scan.
- 24px artist name + uppercase accent phase line + a fixed-height
"now checking" block (accent left rule) for album + track, with stable
placeholders ("Looking for new releases…" / "—") instead of doubled
"Processing…" text.
- The additions feed is an inset fixed-height panel (artist-page sidebar
style): same size whether 0 or 10 tracks, empty state centered.
- JS: hide the artist photo when the CURRENT artist has none (previously the
prior artist's photo lingered), cleaner placeholder copy.
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.
Third round of the multi-artist report. The earlier fixes (Deezer contributors
upgrade, _artists_list, feat_in_title/artist_separator) were all in place and
correct — but gated on source == 'deezer', and on the real Search → Download
Now path NOTHING carried the source: core/search/sources.py serialized tracks
with no source field, search.js's enrichedTrack didn't add one, so
get_import_source() resolved '' and the whole Deezer-specific block silently
skipped. Files were tagged with only the primary artist until a Retag (which
rebuilds context with the source set — exactly why retagging always fixed it).
The earlier tests passed because they set context['source'] directly — the one
field the real flow never had (same mock-drift as the #823 append tests).
Reproduced with Netti93's exact track (deezer 3966840171) through the real
extract_source_metadata: before — source '', artists ['August Burns Red'];
after — source 'deezer', contributors fetched, artists ['August Burns Red',
'Polaris'], title 'Sonic Salvation (feat. Polaris)' per feat_in_title.
Fix, three layers:
- core/search/sources.py: serialized tracks/albums/artists carry "source"
(the canonical name the orchestrator already passes; '' when unnamed).
- core/imports/context.py get_import_source: also reads '_source' from the
nested dicts (track_info/original_search/album/artist) — additionally fixes
the discography/wishlist flows, which always passed '_source' that nothing
read.
- search.js: enrichedTrack + the album-download path carry source through to
the download task.
Tests: real-payload staging-shaped contexts (source in track_info, '_source'
shape, and the pre-fix sourceless shape staying safe — mocked Deezer client),
serializer source-field tests, resolver fallback tests; exact-shape serializer
tests updated for the new key. 1977 import/metadata/search tests pass (the
only 2 failures are the known soundcloud ones).
carlosjfcasero round 2: after 6fa956d6 append stopped recreating the playlist,
but every sync re-appended ALL matched tracks — every track N times. His log
shows it plainly: "added 22 new tracks to 'Disney' (skipped 0 already present)"
on a playlist that already had those 22.
Root cause: the dedupe read `{t.id for t in get_playlist_tracks(...)}` — but
JellyfinTrack only defines `ratingKey`, never `id`, so the existing-ids set was
ALWAYS empty and everything looked new. NavidromeTrack is also ratingKey-only,
so the Navidrome append had the identical bug. Plex (plexapi ratingKey) was
fine. The existing tests were green because they mocked existing tracks as
SimpleNamespace(id=...) — encoding the same wrong assumption as the code.
Fix:
- New pure planner plan_playlist_append(current, desired) in
core/sync/playlist_edit.py (next to the reconcile planner): order-preserving,
drops already-present ids, dedupes within desired, stringifies (Emby numeric
vs string safe).
- Jellyfin/Emby: existing ids fetched from the canonical
/Playlists/{id}/Items endpoint (same as reconcile — works for Jellyfin GUIDs
and Emby numeric ids), ratingKey fallback if that request fails.
- Navidrome: dedupe on ratingKey (the attribute that actually exists).
Tests: planner (skip-present incl. the reporter's unchanged-playlist case,
desired-order, dupes-within-desired, int/str ids, empties) + the append-mode
suite rewritten to pin the REAL shapes (raw Items dicts for Jellyfin,
ratingKey objects for Navidrome) + a new fallback-path test. 524
playlist/sync/jellyfin/navidrome tests pass.
carlosjfcasero round 2 (manual-add fix didn't help — different path). His log
pinned it: the mirrored sync auto-added 'Llamando a la tierra (Serenade From
the Stars)' by M-Clan every run even though his library has the song (stored
bare). Reproduced exactly: the subtitle restates no album context, so the #808
context strip keeps it, and the length-ratio penalty in
_calculate_track_confidence crushes the pair to 0.142 (needs 0.7). Sync →
"missing" → wishlist, forever; and the cleanup uses the SAME matcher, so it
deterministically never removed it. Self-reinforcing.
Fix at the matcher seam (benefits sync, cleanup, downloads, discography alike):
core/text/title_match.strip_subtitle_qualifiers(title, other) strips a
bracketed qualifier only when it (a) isn't restated in the other title, (b)
contains no version-marker token (EN + ES: live/remix/acoustic/version/
dueto/directo/vivo/...), and (c) introduces no new digit token ('(Pt. 2)',
'(2007)' stay different releases). Wired as a third comparison variant in
_calculate_track_confidence with its own length guard. Verified against his
log's other unmatched tracks: '(Live)' 0.15, '(Dueto 2007)' 0.179,
'(Versión 1988)' 0.167 all still correctly blocked — version qualifiers keep
their meaning; the M-Clan case goes 0.142 → 1.0 in both directions.
Also: sync's check_track_exists call now passes album= (cleanup already did),
enabling the album-aware fallback for multi-artist albums during sync.
Tests: tests/test_subtitle_qualifier_match.py — the reported case verbatim
(end-to-end through check_track_exists, both directions, batched candidate
path included), EN+ES version qualifiers still blocked, numeric guard,
'#769 Dani California' and '#808 OurVinyl' guards still hold. 1396
matcher/wishlist/sync tests pass.
The per-album status only looked at added + the generic wishlist-skip count, so
anything else (other-artist credit, already owned, content-filtered) showed the
misleading "No new tracks" — which is what made Vicky-2418's artist-mismatch
skips look like "you already have it." The backend already streams the full
breakdown (tracks_skipped_artist/owned/filter); the UI just ignored it.
New shared _discogItemStatus(data) builds an accurate line from all the counts:
"4 by other artists", "13 already owned", "1 added, 2 already owned", etc.
Replaces the duplicated 4-line block at both render sites. Frontend only; JS
syntax + per-case output verified.
Vicky-2418: Download Discography skipped some albums/singles as "No New Track"
even on a brand-new artist, while manual one-by-one worked. The log showed the
real reason wasn't ownership at all — it was "N skipped (artist mismatch)".
Root cause (confirmed against the iTunes API, not guessed): iTunes returns a
collab as ONE combined string. Narvent's "Miss You (Ambient Remix)" is credited
'TRVNSPORTER, Narvent & SKVLENT'. track_artist_matches did an exact full-string
compare ('trvnsporter, narvent & skvlent' == 'narvent' → False), so every
collaborator's discography entry was dropped — despite the #559 comment claiming
it "keeps features" (it didn't, because features arrive combined, not as a list).
Fix: match the requested artist as a COMPONENT of the credit — split on the
common separators (, & ; / feat ft featuring vs x), while still including the
full string so band names with internal separators ("Florence + the Machine")
match exactly. Component matching stays exact per name, so true contamination
(the #559 case — artist not credited at all) is still dropped, and substrings
("Drakeo the Ruler" ≠ "Drake") still don't match.
Also corrects an over-conservative #559 test that asserted "Drake & Future"
shouldn't match "Drake" — it should; Drake is a credited collaborator. The guard
drops uncredited artists, not legit collabs packed into one string.
Tests: the exact real case (Narvent in the combined credit) + each collaborator,
contamination still dropped, feat/ft/featuring/x forms, no substring false
positive. 36 filter tests + 747 discography/metadata tests pass.
Tacobell444: when tracks land in an album across multiple batches (a wishlist
run, the Album Completeness job, a missed track re-downloaded later), the folder
is rebuilt from API metadata each time — so when $albumtype or $year come back
blank/different on a later batch, the folder NAME changes and the album splits,
forcing a Reorganize.
Fix: build_final_path_for_track now checks whether the album already lives in a
single folder on disk and, if so, drops the new track there instead of a freshly
templated folder. Match (chosen): exact stored Spotify album id first, then a
STRICT >=0.85 name+artist match (vs the 0.7 used elsewhere) — a wrong match here
misplaces a file. New core/library/existing_album_folder.resolve_existing_album_folder
holds the logic; always-on with template fallback.
Safety rails: only returns a folder UNDER the transfer dir (never a read-only
library/NAS mount), only when the album lives in EXACTLY ONE folder (multiple =
disc subfolders, which DatabaseTrack can't disambiguate — those defer to the
template), and any failure falls through to the template path. Added
MusicDatabase.get_album_by_spotify_album_id for the id-first lookup.
Tests: single-folder reuse, no-match, below-threshold, multi-folder defer,
outside-transfer reject, id-first, missing transfer dir, no-files-on-disk.
8 tests; 1556 path/import/download tests pass (only the known soundcloud
failures remain).
macstainless: a Plex-on-macOS user running SoulSync in Docker had all 5,250
tracks flagged "dead" even though the files exist and play in Plex. Root cause:
the DB stores paths as Plex reported them (/Volumes/Core/Music/...), which don't
exist inside SoulSync's container. resolve_library_file_path() returns None for
"couldn't find it at any known base dir" — and for a mis-mounted library that's
EVERY track, not a deletion. The job treated None as "file deleted" and created
a finding per track.
Fix mirrors the existing transfer-folder abort: collect unresolvable tracks, and
if at least max_unresolved_fraction (default 0.5) of the library is unresolvable
once it's past min_tracks_for_guard (default 25), treat it as a path-mapping/
mount problem — abort with an actionable message (Docker mount / Settings →
Library → Music Paths) and create ZERO findings. A small fraction unresolvable
is still reported as genuine dead files, and tiny libraries (< min) report as
before. Both thresholds are configurable per the job's settings.
Tests: mass-unresolvable aborts with no findings; a lone dead file among real
ones is still reported; a small all-dead library still reports; thresholds
configurable. 54 repair tests pass.
Per Boulder's calls on the new enrichment toggle:
- Naming: "Spotify Free" was misleading (it's a hybrid — pick it, connect an
account, and sync still uses your official playlists). Relabel the user-facing
strings to "Spotify (no auth)" — the real distinction is needs-credentials vs
not. Internal value/key (spotify_free, _free_*) unchanged, so no migration.
- Default ON: metadata.spotify_free_enrichment now defaults True (worker + UI
load both treat unset as on). So bulk enrichment runs on the no-auth path by
default and the official account is reserved for interactive search/sync; turn
the toggle off to enrich through the connected account. The toggle overrides
auth for the worker (authed users still enrich via no-auth) — matching the
intended model.
- Worker runs on the toggle alone: is_spotify_metadata_available() now honors
_prefer_free (+ package installed), so the worker enriches via no-auth even
with no account connected and no 'no-auth' source selected. Only fires on a
client carrying the flag (the worker's own), so interactive/watchlist
availability is unchanged.
- UI: moved the toggle from "Metadata Source" to the Spotify section next to the
auth fields, always visible, on by default. Help notes the genre trade-off.
Tests: prefer_free makes metadata available without auth/source (and is inert
without the package); interactive availability unaffected. 218 Spotify tests pass.
User-facing opt-in for metadata.spotify_free_enrichment (the engine landed in
38461295). A checkbox in the Metadata Source frame, independent of the primary-
source dropdown, so a user with an official Spotify account connected can choose
to run the bulk enrichment worker on the no-creds Spotify Free source — sparing
their official API quota / dodging rate-limit bans for interactive search + sync.
Help text notes the trade-off (no artist genres from Free). Default off.
Wiring mirrors the existing spotify_free setting: saved in the metadata payload,
loaded into the checkbox, persisted via the generic metadata.* config loop (no
backend change). Auto-save already covers checkboxes in #settings-page.
Two related fixes at one root cause. Every catalog method gated the official API
on `use_spotify = is_spotify_authenticated()` and only fell to Free *after*
official failed. So when the client was authed but should defer to Free —
specifically when the worker's daily real-API budget was spent — it kept hitting
the official API anyway (just stopped *counting* it). The budget "bridge" never
actually diverted; it only stopped pausing.
Root-cause fix: the official gate is now `is_spotify_authenticated() and not
self._free_active()` across all 8 catalog methods (search_artists/albums/tracks,
get_artist/album/album_tracks/track_details/artist_albums). No-auth and
rate-limited are unchanged (auth is already False there); the change only affects
the cases where auth is True but we deliberately defer to Free. The user-account
methods and the metadata-availability helper are untouched.
New opt-in: metadata.spotify_free_enrichment. When set, the worker puts
`_prefer_free` on its OWN client and _free_active() honors it (needs only the
package installed — the flag is the opt-in — not the 'Spotify Free' source
choice). So a connected user can run bulk enrichment on the no-creds source to
spare their official quota, while interactive search/resolve stay official-first
(they use a different client that never sets the flag). Default off.
Tests: _free_active honors prefer_free (and is inert without the package);
search_albums defers to Free — official .sp raises if touched — both under
prefer_free AND under budget-exhaustion (the divert that previously never
happened). 215 Spotify tests pass.
SpotipyFree has no album-name search (search_albums returned []), and
SpotifyClient.search_albums had no Free branch at all — so when Spotify Free was
the active source (no-auth / rate-limit ban / spent budget), album matching
couldn't use Spotify and dropped straight to the iTunes/Deezer fallback. The
enrichment worker's per-album matching was effectively blind on Free.
Fix — work the gap using ONLY the free source:
- spotify_free_metadata: new search_albums_via_artist(artist, album) resolves the
best-matching artist, scans their discography (get_artist_albums_list — which
Free DOES support), and ranks by album-name similarity. Pure rank_albums_by_name
helper is unit-testable; the network method composes it.
- SpotifyClient.search_albums: add a Free branch mirroring search_artists/tracks
(official → Free-if-active → iTunes/Deezer), plus optional artist/album params
so the Free path has the names it needs. Bare-query callers skip it unchanged.
- spotify_worker: _process_album_individual passes artist+album so the bridge can
match albums on Free.
Tests: rank ordering + limit, via-artist picks the right artist and ranks,
empty on missing artist/album/no-match, and SpotifyClient.search_albums returns
Free albums (not the iTunes fallback) when free is active. 210 Spotify tests pass.
Tacobell444: the Logs tab has no savable settings, but its live-viewer controls
(source picker, filters, auto-scroll) were tripping the settings auto-save —
each one POSTs /api/settings and logs "Settings saved successfully via Web UI",
flooding app.log and drowning out the logs the user is trying to read.
Fix: debouncedAutoSaveSettings bails when the active settings tab is 'logs'
(checked via .stg-tab.active). Purely frontend — no save is scheduled while on
that tab, so the backend never logs the save. Doesn't touch the existing
_suppressSettingsAutoSave form-population guard, and every other tab auto-saves
exactly as before; manual Save still works everywhere.
The manual album "Add to Wishlist" modal had NO ownership check at any layer —
the album view opened the modal without ownership info, the modal added every
track, and the backend (add_album_track_to_wishlist) added each unconditionally.
So adding an album you (partially) own dumped the owned tracks straight into the
wishlist (carlosjfcasero #825) — and the auto-cleanup doesn't reliably remove
them. The bulk discography path already dedups (full missing-track analysis);
this path didn't.
Backend (the reliable seam): add_album_track_to_wishlist now skips a track that
already exists in the library, gated on the same wishlist.allow_duplicate_tracks
toggle the watchlist scan + cleanup use — OFF → skip owned (returns
{success, skipped:true}), ON → add anyway. Default is ON, so default users are
unaffected; the quality re-download flow uses a different endpoint, so it's
untouched.
Frontend: handleAddToWishlist + addModalTracksToWishlist count skipped tracks
separately so the toast is honest ("Added 3 (5 already owned)" / "All N already
in your library") instead of falsely claiming owned tracks were added.
Tests: skips owned when duplicates off, adds missing when off, adds owned when
on (and doesn't even run the check then). 205 wishlist tests pass.
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.
Sokhi's log showed the actual cause: with the wishlist "allow duplicates" toggle
on, is_track_missing_from_library skips a track when _albums_likely_match() says
the wanted album and a library album are the same — and it was matching albums
that differ ONLY by a decimal volume number:
[AllowDup] Album match — skipping (wanted: '...Vol.5', library: '...Vol.5.5')
[AllowDup] Album match — skipping (wanted: '...Vol.5.5', library: '...Vol.4.5')
His character-song CDs share track titles across volumes, so tracks from albums
he DOESN'T have got skipped because a same-titled track sits in a similarly-named
volume he DOES have — the partially-filled discography never completed.
Root cause: _normalize_album_for_match strips the dot ("Vol.5.5" -> "vol 5 5"),
and _VOLUME_MARKER_RE captured only a single trailing digit, so Vol.5, Vol.5.5
and Vol.4.5 all reduced to marker "5" and the volume-disagreement guard never
fired. Fix: capture the full multi-part number ((\d+(?:\s+\d+)*)) so "5" / "5 5"
/ "4 5" are distinct and the guard correctly rejects the match.
(Not lookback — the log confirms lookback=all was already honored.)
Tests: decimal/multi-part volumes (incl. the real CJK names) now block the
match; identical decimal volumes + naming-drift cases still match. 111 watchlist
tests pass.
THE bug behind "embeds art but never writes cover.jpgs": _fix_missing_cover_art
passed `details['album_folder']` (= dirname of the raw DB path, e.g. Jellyfin's
/data/music/...) as the target folder. That path doesn't exist inside the
SoulSync container — only the resolved /app/... path does. So apply_art_to_album_
files' `os.path.isdir(target_dir)` was False and the ENTIRE cover.jpg block was
silently skipped: embedding still worked (it uses the resolved paths) and the DB
thumb updated, but the sidecar was never written. Exactly Sokhi's symptom + the
"Cover art already present — database thumbnail updated" toast (cover_written
stayed False).
Fix:
- _fix_missing_cover_art: derive the folder from the RESOLVED file
(os.path.dirname(resolved[0])), never the raw album_folder.
- apply_art_to_album_files: bulletproof it — if the passed folder doesn't exist,
fall back to the real directory of the files instead of silently skipping.
Tests: a non-existent folder still writes cover.jpg to the real file dir. 1348
cover/art/repair tests pass.
Root cause of Sokhi's endless 0-findings: the SCAN resolved each track's path
through the path-mapping layer with NO fallback, while the APPLY
(_fix_missing_cover_art) uses `_resolve_file_path(...) or p` — i.e. it falls
back to the raw DB path when mapping returns nothing. On his Docker setup the
mapping returns None, so the scan set has_local=False and skipped every album
(never looking at the folder), even though the apply WOULD have written the
cover.jpg from the raw path.
Fix: make the scan match the apply — if mapping returns nothing but the raw DB
path is a real file (container path == stored path), use it as-is. Now the scan
actually inspects the folder, sees the missing cover.jpg, and flags it; the
apply then writes it from the embedded art.
Tests: unresolved-path-but-real-file → flagged (sidecar_from_embedded); the
fallback does NOT fire for a non-existent path (media-server-only stays skipped).
Kept the [cover-diag] logging from the prior commit to confirm on Sokhi's run.
Sokhi's scans keep returning 0 findings and we've been guessing at the cause
across several fixes. Add a skip-reason breakdown + per-album decision dump so
the next scan log shows it definitively instead:
- [cover-diag] per-album (first 5): album, raw DB path, resolved path,
has_local, embedded, sidecar, db_missing, cover_enabled, needs_fix.
- [cover-diag] skip breakdown in the summary: have_disk_art /
no_local_db_has_art (path didn't resolve, DB has thumb) / no_art_source.
Leading hypothesis this will confirm: the file paths aren't resolving
(resolved=None → has_local=False), so the scan only ever looks at db_missing —
which flipped every album from flagged (before the DB-art fix populated thumbs)
to skipped (after). If so the real fix is path resolution, not the art logic.
No behavior change — logging only.
