Reorganize leaves a cover.jpg (and other leftovers) behind when it moves an album,
and the Empty Folder Cleaner is too conservative to sweep them. Two complementary
fixes over one shared 'residual file' predicate (core/library/residual_files.py:
junk + cover/scan images + lyric/metadata sidecars), so both features agree on what
a dead folder is.
1. Reorganize (proactive): _delete_album_sidecars now sweeps ALL residual files when
a source dir has no audio left — previously only a fixed list of cover NAMES, so
back.jpg / disc.png / .webp survived and kept the folder un-prunable.
2. Empty Folder Cleaner (the request): new opt-in 'Remove Residual Files' setting
(default off) treats a folder holding only images/sidecars/junk as removable —
cleans the existing backlog + arbitrary names. Auto-renders as a UI toggle.
Safe by construction: whitelist-only (a booklet.pdf / video / .txt is real content
and kept), reorganize sweep gated on no-audio, cleaner re-checks at apply time.
20 new tests; 272 reorganize/repair/empty-folder green.
Files named '01 - Sun It Rises.flac' with no embedded title tag leaked the stem,
number and all, into tracks.title as '01 - Sun It Rises' — which never matches the
canonical 'Sun It Rises', so the real track reads as a false 'missing' and albums
sort wrong.
New conservative strip_leading_track_number (paths.py): removes a clear track-number
prefix (zero-padded number, OR a number followed by a real separator+space) while
leaving titles that merely start with a number untouched — '7 Rings', '99 Luftballons',
'50 Ways to Leave Your Lover', '1-800-273-8255', '1979' all preserved. Never reduces
to empty/bare-number/punctuation.
Applied at:
- get_import_clean_title (context.py) — the universal resolver every import path funnels
through, so the DB title AND the re-written embedded tag come out clean.
- album_matching scorer — so '01 - Sun It Rises' scores against 'Sun It Rises' and the
file matches its real track (inheriting the clean canonical name).
27 targeted tests + 772 imports/matching green.
Picking the release a track is ALREADY in deleted the file: the re-import lands at
the same path, record_soulsync_library_entry skips the insert (row exists), so no
new row is created — then delete_replaced_track removed that very row AND unlinked
the file (the freshly-imported one). This was the 'assumption' I documented but
never enforced.
Bulletproof guard: the pipeline writes its landing path into context['_final_processed_path'];
_process_matches captures it onto the candidate, and _finalize_rematch_hint passes
those new_paths to delete_replaced_track. If the old file canonically equals where
the import landed, it's a NO-OP — the row and file are kept (that file IS the
re-imported track). Canonical compare folds symlinks/case/sep.
So same-release re-identify is now a harmless re-tag-in-place; only a genuine re-home
(different path) deletes the old. 114 auto-import + rematch tests green.
Two real bugs surfaced in testing:
1. Original file not deleted on replace: delete_replaced_track checked os.path.exists
on the RAW stored DB path (a Docker/media-server view), so it removed the row but
orphaned the file. Now takes a resolve_fn (wired to resolve_library_file_path in
the worker) and unlinks the RESOLVED real path.
2. No year / wrong album context: build_identification_from_hint set is_single=True,
routing re-identify through _match_tracks' singles fast-path — which never fetches
the chosen album, so the re-import got a bare stub (no release_date, total_tracks=1).
Added force_album_match so the matcher FETCHES the chosen release even for a lone
staged file → the track inherits the real album's year, in-album track number, and
art. Holds for single-type releases too (they have a year as well).
Normal single-import behavior unchanged (force_album_match absent → same path).
112 auto-import + rematch tests green.
The showpiece: a focused 'which release does this track belong to?' chooser.
Source tabs (default active), pre-seeded search, the same song surfaced across
single/EP/album with color-coded type badges, ISRC-ranked, replace-original
toggle (on by default). Glassy panel, blurred hero art, shimmer/spinner states,
hover-lift result cards — matched to the app's modal language.
Backend:
- core/imports/rematch_apply.py: pure staged_destination + build_reidentify_hint,
injectable stage_file_for_reidentify (COPIES the file, never moves — original
safe until re-import succeeds). 6 tests.
- POST /api/reidentify/apply (admin-only): resolve_hint_fields → stage file →
create_hint → nudge the worker. Replace deletes the old row only on success.
Frontend: modal markup (index.html), full stylesheet (style.css), and the
openReidentifyModal/search/select/confirm flow (library.js). Not yet reachable
from a button — Phase 5 wires it.
Search any configured source (tabs, default active) and surface the SAME song
across its collections (single/EP/album) so the user can pick which release a
track should be filed under.
- core/imports/rematch_search.py: pure normalize + injected client factory.
search_release_candidates() → lightweight display rows from typed search_tracks
(title/artist/release/type badge/year/count/art/isrc/track_id); resolve_hint_fields()
runs ONCE on the picked row via get_track_details to pull the album_id (+ isrc/
track#/disc) the hint needs. infer_release_type() handles Spotify's missing 'EP'
(multi-track 'single' → EP badge); filing is driven by real album_id, not the label.
- GET /api/reidentify/sources (tabs) + GET /api/reidentify/search (rows). Graceful
empty on dead source / blank query / client error — never raises.
14 tests. Inert until the modal (Phase 4) calls it.
When a staged single-file candidate carries a re-identify hint, the worker builds
the identification straight from the user-chosen release (album_id/source) and
skips the guessing tiers — so the ambiguity that mis-filed the track is gone. No
hint → byte-identical to before (the lookup returns (None, None), fail-safe on any
DB error). A hinted import auto-processes (explicit user choice), still gated on the
global auto_process pref.
After the re-import lands, _finalize_rematch_hint consumes the hint and (if replace
was chosen) deletes the old row + file via delete_replaced_track — deferred to
success so a failed import never loses the original. Safe by construction: unlink
only when no surviving row references the file, and the modal never offers the
track's current release so old path != new path.
All hint logic lives in auto_import_worker.py + the pure rematch_hints helpers —
pipeline.py / side_effects.py untouched. 18 tests; full auto-import suite green.
A single-use, user-designated 'which release does this track belong to' answer.
Written when the user picks a release in the Re-identify modal and the file is
staged; the import flow will read it at the top of matching and consume it.
- rematch_hints table (additive, IF NOT EXISTS + indexes) keyed on staged_path
with content_hash as a rename-proof fallback.
- core/imports/rematch_hints.py: pure DB seam over an injected cursor
(create/find/consume/list) + a cheap size+head+tail file fingerprint.
- exempt_dedup baked into the hint (a re-identify must bypass dedup-skip);
replace_track_id carried for deferred post-success cleanup.
Inert until wired (Phase 5) — nothing calls it yet. 9 seam tests.
paksenkin: TZ=Australia/Sydney made the Cache Maintenance job (and any repair
job) run every ~5s. Root cause: finished_at is written by SQLite CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
(always UTC) but the scheduler compared it against datetime.now() (naive LOCAL),
so the local↔UTC offset leaked into the elapsed time. Sydney (+11) made every job
look ~11h stale -> always due -> fired every poll; the Americas (behind UTC)
deflated it and masked the bug (why New_York 'worked').
Fix: compare in UTC. now = datetime.now(timezone.utc), and a new _hours_since()
helper parses the naive CURRENT_TIMESTAMP string AS UTC before subtracting — so
the machine timezone never affects scheduling. 5 tests incl. the literal repro
(a just-run job must not be due under Australia/Sydney) and a due-detection
sanity check; 41 repair-worker tests pass, ruff clean.
radoslav-orlov: add AAC as a download quality option. AAC is more efficient than
MP3, so it's useful for Soulseek/torrents (streaming sources pick their own
codec; Amazon — the AAC-heavy one — is down).
Additive by construction: every quality tier already defaults enabled=false and
the waterfall is built only from enabled tiers, so AAC ships OFF and the bucketer
routes a not-enabled AAC file to the 'other' bucket EXACTLY as today (where it was
silently dropped). Only a user who turns AAC on makes it a first-class tier,
ranked above MP3 / below FLAC (priority 1.5, min-kbps gate so junk AAC can't beat
a good MP3).
- music_database: aac tier (disabled) in the default profile + all 3 presets.
- soulseek_client: map .m4a -> 'aac' in both result parsers (was 'unknown' ->
dropped); add the 'aac' bucket + a gated branch + a fallback size limit.
- settings UI: an 'AAC' tier toggle (unchecked) between FLAC and MP3; save
defaults its priority to 1.5 so upgraded profiles rank it right on first save.
7 seam tests pinning the additive guarantee (aac absent/disabled -> dropped as
before; FLAC/MP3 selection unchanged; aac on -> selectable, below FLAC, above
MP3); 81 quality/soulseek tests pass, ruff clean. quality_upgrade left untouched
(its AAC handling is unchanged).
radoslav-orlov: with no Spotify auth, enrichment runs on the no-creds Spotify Free
source (prefer-free is on by default) and IS working — pending drains, the modal
shows RUNNING — but the dashboard header tooltip said 'Not Authenticated /
Connect Spotify in Settings'. Two causes:
- get_stats() only set using_free for the rate-limit / spent-budget bridges, not
the plain no-auth-default-free case. The loop already computes the right signal
(free_serving = _free_active(), True here) but it was a local var. Cache it on
self each iteration and report it as using_free (no auth API call in the 2s
status loop).
- The dashboard's Spotify updater checked notAuthenticated BEFORE bridgingFree, so
even with using_free it showed Not Authenticated. notAuthenticated now excludes
the bridging-free case; the LastFM/Genius/Tidal/Qobuz updaters (no free path)
are unchanged.
5 seam tests for get_stats free/auth reporting; 67 enrichment/free tests pass.
Swigs: 'No audio files found in /data/usenet/incomplete/….#2141' — SoulSync
imported a usenet album from NZBGet's intermediate working dir, which is emptied
after the move (files were in /data/soulseek/…). Two causes, both fixed to match
the already-correct SAB adapter:
- _parse_history mapped save_path=DestDir, but the authoritative final location
after a post-processing move is FinalDir. Prefer FinalDir, fall back to DestDir,
empty/whitespace -> None.
- _parse_group exposed the queue group's DestDir (the in-progress '….#NZBID' dir)
as save_path, so a PP_FINISHED group (which maps to 'completed') could finalize
on the incomplete folder before the move. A queue group now reports no save_path
-> finalisation always comes from the history entry (real FinalDir/DestDir),
bridged by the existing 120s completed-no-path window.
6 regression tests (FinalDir preferred, DestDir fallback, empty->None, queue/
PP_FINISHED never offer the incomplete path).
detect_album_info_web gains a last-resort step: when a track matched a SINGLE
with no usable album context, look up the parent ALBUM that contains it (via
get_artist_albums_for_source + get_artist_album_tracks) and promote to it, so it
groups with its album-mates and gets the album's cover instead of the single's.
GATED behind metadata_enhancement.single_to_album (default OFF) — it's a
per-import metadata lookup, so it's opt-in, matching the canonical-version
pattern. Fully fail-safe: flag off, no source, or any client error/miss -> None,
so the track stays exactly as matched (never worse than today). The promoted
album name is forced past get_import_clean_album (which otherwise pins the
single's name) so grouping + tags use the album. 4 glue seam tests added
(promote-when-enabled, disabled-by-default, no-match, client-raises); 462
import-suite tests pass.
When a track matches a SINGLE release it carries the single's name/id and the
canonical grouping files it apart from its album-mates -> mixed cover art
(Sokhi). This re-homes it onto the album that actually contains it.
The selection is a pure, CONSERVATIVE function and the lookup loop takes injected
fetchers, so both are unit-testable without a live client. It only re-homes a
track when a real 'album'-type release's tracklist contains that EXACT track
(qualifier-tolerant) — never promotes a genuine standalone single, never guesses
(a wrong promotion would mis-home a real single, the inverse bug). Fail-safe: any
miss/error -> None (track stays as matched). 13 seam tests. Wiring next.
Sokhi: songs in one album get mismatched cover art. Root cause is upstream of
the repair jobs (which correctly apply one cover per album_id): the standalone
import grouped albums by the album NAME hash (artist::album_name), so the SAME
release split into multiple album rows whenever the name string drifted, and the
cover-art/re-tag jobs then dressed each split row in its own art.
Foundation (new imports only; existing rows untouched): a pure, seam-testable
helper find_existing_soulsync_album_id() resolves the album row by precedence
name-hash id -> source RELEASE id -> (title, artist). When an import carries a
metadata-source album id, a differently-named import of the SAME release now
unifies into one row instead of splitting. Source-column lookup is allow-listed
(it's spliced into SQL) and guarded so a source without a dedicated album column
(Deezer) falls through to the name match instead of breaking the import.
Deliberate scope: this does NOT merge a track that genuinely matched a SINGLE
(a different release id) into its parent album — that needs single->album
resolution upstream and is the next step; this is the grouping substrate it will
feed. 10 seam tests (canonical unify, single-vs-album stays separate, precedence,
allowlist, server-source scope, missing-column fallthrough).
Sokhi: tracks occasionally land in Rockbox's 'untagged' bucket after a
'processing failed'. enhance_file_metadata saves the file with tags CLEARED up
front (so stale tags never linger), then runs the failure-prone external steps
(source-id embed, cover-art fetch). The core tags (album/artist/title/track from
the matched context) are written to the in-memory object BEFORE those steps, but
the on-disk file is still the cleared one until the final save.
The #764 fix made the error handler restore ART — but gated the re-save on there
being original art to restore. So a file with NO embedded art that hit a
mid-enrichment crash threw away its in-memory core tags and was left on disk as
the up-front clear saved it: untagged. Now the handler always persists the
in-memory tags (restoring art when present), so a crash leaves a correctly-tagged
file (album tag intact -> right bucket) instead of an empty one. Regression test
drives the real enhance_file_metadata against an art-less FLAC.
Sokhi (again): downloading the base 'Mushoku Tensei S2 Original Soundtrack' embedded
the cour-2 '…サウンドトラック2' cover. numeric_tokens_differ stripped titles to
[a-z0-9], turning CJK into spaces — so the trailing '2' collapsed to a bare '2'
that '第2期' (season 2) already supplied on BOTH sides, leaving the digit sets equal
and the guard blind. Tokenise on \W (Unicode word-aware) instead, so a digit stays
attached to its word ('サウンドトラック2' is its own digit-bearing token). Latin
behaviour is byte-identical (Vol.4 vs Vol.4.5 etc.). Shared guard, so the art picker
AND the MusicBrainz->CAA path are both fixed. Regression tests added.
Single tracks (esp. Deezer-sourced) imported as "01 - Title" regardless
of their real album position — e.g. Fly Away (track 2 of Greatest Hits)
landed as 01, littering album folders with duplicate "01" files.
Root cause: a Deezer single track is matched via /search/track, which
omits track_position, so the context never carried the real number; then
service.py + context.py fabricated a confident track_number=1 from that
gap. Because the resolver puts that first, the fake 1 beat the source.
It is source-agnostic (slskd-with-Deezer-metadata hits it too) — albums
work because /album/<id>/tracks DOES include positions.
Fix (at the shared import funnel, strictly additive):
- track_number.py: new read_embedded_track_number() (mutagen, local, no
network) + an optional embedded_track_number arg on resolve_track_number.
The downloaded file already carries the source-written position (deemix
wrote it); consult it LAST — only when metadata AND the "NN - Title"
filename both come up empty — so it can only fill the gap that would
otherwise hit the default-1 floor. Never overrides a value the pre-fix
resolver produced (no regression for correctly-named/mistagged files).
- pipeline.py: read the file tag at the resolve step and pass it in.
- De-poison: service.py:217 + context.py default to 0 (the existing
"unknown" sentinel, like total_tracks), NOT 1 — so the fake 1 no longer
blocks recovery. Frontend already treats falsy track_number as unknown
(omits it), so this also drops the bogus "1." in the UI.
13 new resolver tests incl. the no-regression precedence guards; full
imports + wishlist suites green (583), no behavior change for albums.
A user who removes a wishlist track, or cancels an in-flight wishlist
download, would have it re-added on the next auto cycle (watchlist scan,
failed-track capture, or the cancel handler's own re-add), so the same
release downloaded -> failed/cancelled -> re-queued forever.
Adds a TTL'd skip-gate (30 days), softer than the blocklist: it expires
so the track is reconsidered later, and never blocks a manual
force-download — only the automatic re-queue.
- core/wishlist/ignore.py: pure TTL/normalization/display logic + a
best-effort orchestrator (no DB handle, caller passes now).
- database/music_database.py: migration-safe wishlist_ignore table +
add/check/remove/list(+purge)/clear methods, and the gate in
add_to_wishlist beside the blocklist guard. Fail-open throughout — an
ignore error can never block a legitimate add; a manual add bypasses
the gate AND clears the ignore.
- routes.py: user remove (single/album/batch) records an ignore. Hooked
at the route layer, NOT the DB remove, so success-cleanup never
ignores (regression-tested).
- web_server.py: cancel now ignores + removes from the wishlist instead
of re-adding for endless retry; three /api/wishlist/ignore-list*
endpoints.
- downloads.js: 'Ignored' modal (view / un-ignore / clear all).
- 13 tests: pure logic, DB seam, gate (block/bypass/fail-open),
route wiring, and the success-cleanup-does-not-ignore regression.
Multiple failed source attempts at one song each land in quarantine as
separate entries. Group them by the *intended* target (sidecar context
track_info isrc -> id -> uri, falling back to normalized artist|title for
legacy thin sidecars) — an exact relationship across siblings, since the
bad files' own tags differ but the target track is constant.
- core: quarantine_group_key() + find_quarantine_siblings() seams; list
entries now carry group_key.
- approve endpoint: remove_siblings flag auto-deletes the other attempts
once one is accepted (captured BEFORE approve restores the file out of
quarantine, or the id lookup would resolve nothing). Scoped to the
quarantine manager; download-modal chooser + version-mismatch fallback
pass no flag and are unaffected.
- UI: multi-member groups render as a collapsible parent row (album art +
'N alternatives'); singletons unchanged. Toast reports removed count.
- 11 tests incl. ordering regression for capture-before-approve.
The Download Discography modal exposed only Albums/EPs/Singles, its EPs toggle did
nothing, and Live/Compilations/Featured were missing — so you couldn't fine-filter
a bulk download the way Artist Detail lets you browse.
Root cause: the modal's endpoint (/api/artist/<id>/discography) used the base
get_artist_discography, which lumps EPs into singles, and the modal only read
{albums, singles} — so the EPs bucket was always empty (dead toggle). It also had
no content-type (Live/Compilation/Featured) classification at all.
- Backend: the endpoint now uses get_artist_detail_discography — the SAME split
Artist Detail uses — and returns a separate `eps` list.
- Frontend: read `eps`; tag each card with data-is-live/compilation/featured via a
new shared _classifyReleaseContent() (also adopted by the Artist Detail cards so
the two can't drift); add Live/Compilations/Featured filter buttons; combined
category+content filtering. The download payload is built from VISIBLE checked
cards, so every toggle now actually changes what downloads.
- Regression test: get_artist_detail_discography splits an EP into the eps bucket.
Reported by @Lysticity: opening Settings reset the whole config to defaults. The
chain: GET /api/settings 500s (their env: ConfigManager missing redacted_config)
-> loadSettingsData() called response.json() WITHOUT checking response.ok, so the
error body {"error": ...} was treated as settings -> every field populated as
`settings.x?.y || ''` blanked to defaults -> autosave then wrote those defaults
over the real config.
Fix (settings.js): bail BEFORE touching any field when the response isn't ok / is
an error body, set window._settingsLoadFailed, and guard BOTH save paths
(debouncedAutoSaveSettings + saveSettings) on it. The flag clears on the next
successful load. So any load failure (500, lock, network) now leaves the saved
config untouched instead of wiping it.
The redacted_config method exists in all 2.7.x source + on dev (their 500 looks
like a stale/mismatched build), but the UI must not destroy config on ANY failed
load. Regression test pins redacted_config stays a callable method on the class
(its removal is exactly what 500s the endpoint).
The Favorites collection walker (_iter_collection_resource_ids) broke on ANY
non-200 — including a transient 429. So a rate-limit mid-pagination silently
truncated the collection: the log shows `status=429` then `Retrieved 98/100`,
and the mirror saved 98 of a 524-track favorites list. The auto-sync cycle only
"worked" because it dodged the 429. The regular-playlist paginator already
retries 429; the collection walker didn't.
Fix: retry the same cursor page with backoff (5/10/15/20s, 4 attempts) on 429,
mirroring the playlist paginator; 401/403 still bail (+ reconnect flag), other
non-200 still break. Regression tests: 429 mid-walk completes the full chain;
exhausted retries return partial without hanging; 429 doesn't set reconnect.
Adds a dedicated `get_library_history_unverified()` DB query that fetches
every library_history row with verification_status IN ('unverified',
'force_imported') with no recency cap. This is loaded unconditionally in
`build_unified_downloads_response` — not gated on `len(items) < limit` —
so historical unverified entries are never buried by a busy batch filling
the 200-row general limit, and entries from weeks/months ago aren't lost
in the 50-row recency-ordered history tail. Adds idx_lh_verification_status
for query performance and two regression tests.

Answers "does import respect quality?": yes — the pipeline already runs the
quality gate (check_quality_target) BEFORE AcoustID and quarantines files that
don't meet the profile (unless fallback/downsample is on). This adds an explicit
user switch over that behaviour.
- New config import.quality_filter_enabled (default True). When False,
check_quality_target returns None early so EVERY file imports regardless of
quality; the file is still probed and the library Quality Upgrade Scanner
still flags below-profile tracks. Default preserves current behaviour.
- Settings → Library: the Import Settings group is now a collapsible tile
(same pattern as Post-Processing) and gains the "Only import tracks that meet
your quality profile" toggle at the top, alongside replace-lower-quality and
folder-artist-override.
- settings.js populate/collect the new key; config schema default added.
- Tests: key-aware config stub (a blanket-False mock would wrongly disable the
filter) + a new test pinning toggle-OFF = accept below-target file.

ROOT CAUSE of the quality scanner's "18/18 could not be probed". The shared
resolver (core/library/path_resolver.py) suffix-walked starting at index 1,
which is correct for absolute media-server paths (/music/Artist/... — index 0
is the empty leading segment) but WRONG for SoulSync's own library, which
stores RELATIVE paths like "Asketa/Another Side/track.flac". Index 0 there is
the artist folder; dropping it meant the resolver joined base/Another Side/...
(no artist) and nothing ever matched — so every library track came back
unresolved and the probe opened a relative path that didn't exist from CWD.
Start the suffix walk at index 0 so the FULL relative path is tried first.
Safe for absolute paths (i=0 yields base//Artist/... which harmlessly misses
and falls through to i=1) and Windows drive parts (E: fails on POSIX, falls
through). Other tools (orphan/fake-lossless detectors) were unaffected because
they os.walk the transfer folder directly and never used this resolver.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
1) _resolve_library_file_path now tries the FULL relative path (index 0)
against each base dir, not just suffixes. The library scanner stores clean
"Artist/Album/Track.flac" paths; skipping index 0 dropped the artist folder
so the file never resolved — every quality-scanner probe failed ("20/20
could not be probed"). Now they resolve under the transfer/library dir.
2) Quality gate moved BEFORE the AcoustID check in post_process_matched_download.
- A wrong-quality file is rejected without paying for an AcoustID fingerprint.
- context['_audio_quality'] is set before either gate quarantines, so the
real quality is recorded on the sidecar for EVERY quarantine trigger —
it's known when reviewing/approving any quarantined file.
- force_import still never fires on a quality mismatch (only AcoustID).
normalize_import_context mutates in place, so the moved block keeps its
context fields. New test pins the order + that AcoustID isn't run on a
quality reject.

Diagnostics revealed the real cause: the tracks table stores file_path
RELATIVE to the library root (e.g. "Asketa/Another Side/01-01 - Another
Side.flac"), so probing the raw path failed for the entire library — every
track came back unprobeable and was left unflagged ("20/20 could not be
probed").
The scanner now resolves each path via _resolve_library_file_path (checks
transfer/download/library dirs, same helper the rest of the app uses) before
probing, falling back to docker_resolve_path. Injected via deps for testability.

A task stuck in 'post_processing' past the cutoff was force-marked 'completed'
("assume it worked"). In a large batch, post-processing (AcoustID + quality +
import) is serialized and backs up, so tasks sit in post_processing while merely
QUEUED — then got falsely completed, showing as downloaded with no file on disk
(/Transfer empty).
Now: the cutoff is 30 min (was 5) so legit backlog isn't cut off, and when it
does fire the task is only completed if it actually produced a file
(final_file_path exists on disk) — otherwise marked failed (honest + retryable).
Applied at both stuck-detection sites (check_batch_completion + _v2).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The library quality scanner judged quality by FILE EXTENSION only
(get_quality_tier_from_extension) and read the legacy v2 `qualities` dict —
so every FLAC was "lossless tier 1" regardless of bit depth / sample rate. It
could never flag a 16-bit FLAC as upgradeable under a 24-bit profile, and it
ignored the v3 ranked_targets entirely. Completely inconsistent with the
download guard.
Now both share one core:
- selection.targets_from_profile(profile) — single profile→targets conversion
(v2→v3 migration), reused by load_profile_targets.
- selection.quality_meets_profile(aq, targets) — strict: meets iff the real
measured quality satisfies a ranked target (fallback ignored — it's a
download concession, not a definition of "good enough").
- guards.check_quality_target refactored to use both.
- quality_scanner probes real quality (probe_audio_quality) and checks against
the v3 targets via quality_meets_profile. Extension tier kept only as a
fallback label when a file can't be probed.
Result: the scan flags exactly what the download gate would reject — 16-bit
when you want 24-bit, wrong sample rate, MP3 when you want FLAC.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A file quarantined for QUALITY (e.g. MP3-VBR rejected by a FLAC-only profile)
showed up in BOTH the Completed and Quarantine tabs. Cause: the verification
wrapper (post_process_matched_download_with_verification) handled the
_acoustid_quarantined / _integrity_failure_msg / _race_guard_failed markers but
NOT the quality marker _bitdepth_rejected (nor _silence_rejected). A quality
quarantine leaves no _final_processed_path, so the wrapper hit the
"no final path — assuming success" branch and marked the task Completed.
Unlike acoustid/integrity (retry driven by the wrapper), the inner pipeline
already owns the quality/audio-guard outcome — it quarantines then re-queues the
next-best candidate or marks the task failed. So the wrapper now just returns
when it sees _bitdepth_rejected/_silence_rejected, without marking completed
(which clobbered both the quarantine state AND any successful retry).

The audiophile preset (fallback_enabled=False) still shipped a "FLAC 16-bit"
target in its ladder, so 16-bit FLAC matched and imported even though the name
implies hi-res-only. Split the ladder: audiophile now uses a strict 24-bit FLAC
list; balanced keeps 24-bit + 16-bit + MP3. Gives users a one-click strict
"24-bit only" profile that actually rejects 16-bit/lossy.
Not a matches_target bug — that correctly rejects 16-bit vs a 24-bit target;
the leak was the preset's target LIST including 16-bit (+ fallback accepting
off-list lossy like MP3-128).

Root cause of "completed/failed/unverified don't show during a running
batch, only after it ends" (F5 didn't help): build_unified_downloads_response
sorted live tasks active-first (downloading/searching/queued = priority 0-3,
completed/failed = 4-7) then truncated the whole array at items[:limit] (300).
During a busy batch the active+queued tasks filled the limit and pushed every
terminal task off the end, so /api/downloads/all never returned them — the
Completed/Failed/Unverified tabs filter client-side and had nothing to show.
Fix: `limit` now bounds only the persistent-history tail. Live in-memory
tasks are always returned in full — they're already bounded by the 5-min
cleanup automation, and array order is presentation-only since the page
filters per tab client-side.
Verified with a repro (320 queued + 1 completed + 1 failed → terminal rows
were absent at limit=300; now present).

Three fixes from on-device testing of best-quality mode:
1. clear_completed_local no longer prunes terminal tasks that belong to a
STILL-ACTIVE batch (one with non-terminal work remaining). The 5-min
"Clean Completed Downloads" automation was yanking completed/failed/
unverified rows out of download_tasks mid-run — and failed/cancelled
aren't in library_history — so they only reappeared after the batch
ended. Now the whole active batch stays intact until it finishes.
2. search_all_sources runs every source CONCURRENTLY (asyncio.gather)
instead of sequentially, so the pool waits only for the slowest source
(e.g. usenet/Prowlarr) in parallel rather than summing all latencies.
3. The pool log now reports per-source contribution counts
(e.g. "usenet=0, hifi=11, soulseek=1") instead of just echoing the
chain, so a release-level source that returns nothing for a track-title
query is visible rather than appearing to have been searched.

Adds an opt-in search strategy toggle in the Quality Profile:
- priority (default): unchanged — first source in the hybrid chain that
meets a quality target wins.
- best_quality: pool candidates from EVERY source per query and download
them best→worst by actual audio quality; source order only breaks ties.
Implementation reuses existing plumbing so the retry system is untouched:
- engine.search_all_sources pools raw tracks across all configured,
non-exhausted sources (no first-source short-circuit).
- candidates.order_candidates: new quality_first sort path — profile
quality rank dominates, confidence/peer signals break ties. Priority
path is byte-for-byte unchanged (regression-locked by tests).
- task_worker passes quality_first + targets through; skips the redundant
hybrid-fallback block in best-quality mode (pool already covered it).
- Per-source retry budgets unchanged: a source that spends its budget is
added to exhausted_download_sources and thus dropped from the whole
pool. Independent of post_processing.retry_exhaustive.
- Query generator NOT touched.
Also clarifies the "Allow fallback" setting wording: it accepts OFF-LIST
quality as a last resort (not "walk down my list"), and notes that
lossy_copy.downsample_hires also bypasses the quality gate — the cause of
16-bit/MP3 files slipping through a 24-bit-only profile.

Some Monochrome instances only have 30-second Tidal DOWNLOAD access: the HLS
variant playlist for a 220s track comes back as ~30s of segments + ENDLIST
(verified live on us-west.monochrome.tf — lossless=30s, hires=403). The client
downloaded that 30s file, which then got quarantined by the new audio guard.
Detect it at manifest time: sum the playlist's EXTINF runtime and compare to
the track's real duration (get_track_info). When the playlist is < 85% of the
track, decline the manifest and rotate the instance, so the download falls
through to a real source (Soulseek/Qobuz/Tidal/Deezer) instead of fetching a
preview. Best-effort — unknown duration disables the check (the post-download
audio guard remains the safety net).

The actual HiFi/Monochrome bug isn't silence padding — it's a TRUNCATED file:
the container claims the full length (e.g. 3:08) but only ~30s of audio
decodes. silencedetect finds nothing (there's no silent audio, just missing
audio) and ffmpeg's time= even reports 0 with no error, so the duration and
quality guards all pass.
Detect it by decoding and comparing the real audio length (astats sample
count / sample rate) against the container duration: reject when the real
audio covers < 85% of the claimed length. detect_broken_audio() runs this
truncation check first, then the silence-ratio check. Wire it into the guard
that runs at the integrity/length verification point.
Verified on the real file: 'only ~30s actually decodes of a 188s file (16%)';
a normal 180s file is not flagged.

HiFi/Monochrome HLS assembly can produce a file with the correct container
duration but only ~30s of real audio + silence padding — the duration and
quality guards both pass, so nothing caught it until you listened. Add
core/imports/silence.py: ffmpeg silencedetect over the audio, reject when the
silent fraction exceeds 50%. Wire it into the post-download pipeline with the
same quarantine + next-candidate retry pattern as the quality guard
(trigger='silence'), and surface it via import_rejection_reason. Fails open
when ffmpeg/mutagen are unavailable so tooling problems never quarantine a
legit file.
Also mark 'quality filter' and 'silence guard' failures as recoverable
quarantine rows in the downloads UI (were shown as plain failures).
Verified end-to-end: a 30s-tone + 180s-silence FLAC is flagged '86% silence
(only ~30s audible of 210s)'; a 210s tone passes. 7 parser unit tests.

Remove the per-source download-quality dropdowns (Tidal/HiFi/Qobuz/Deezer/
Amazon) — with the global ranked-targets system they were redundant and
conflicting. Add quality_tier_for_source(): picks the LOWEST source tier
that satisfies the user's top target (respects the quality ceiling, saves
bandwidth) or the source's max as best effort. Every source's search +
download + retry path now derives its tier from the global profile instead
of config_manager.get('<source>_download.quality').
Settings keep the per-source allow_fallback toggles; the quality selects are
replaced with a note pointing at Quality Profile.

check_flac_bit_depth now delegates to check_quality_target, which probes the
real file and treats bit depth as a MINIMUM (24-bit satisfies a 16-bit
target) — the old context-string parsing, per-quality bit_depth_fallback, and
'reject higher bit depth' semantics are gone. Rewrite the wrapper tests to
the probe-based model and update the rejection-reason assertion to the
unified 'quality filter' wording.

Quality guard: rejects with a 'file is X, wanted Y' reason (the string the
track-detail modal surfaces), accepts when a target is met or fallback is on,
skips when unprobeable.
force_import isolation: the 'quality' bypass must not skip the AcoustID check
and vice-versa; a quality reject persists trigger='quality' (not 'acoustid')
in the sidecar — so a quality mismatch never routes through the force_import
path (reserved for AcoustID version-mismatch).
Model: lossy matches a MINIMUM bitrate (>=, a range); lossless matches on bit
depth + sample rate, never exact bitrate, so a FLAC's varying bitrate (mono /
compression) can't falsely reject it. v2->v3 migration preserves order.
47 passing across the quality + guard suites.

Add core/quality/selection.py: rank_with_targets() returns (ranked,
satisfied) where satisfied = a candidate meets a real target (strict).
load_profile_targets()/rank_for_profile() are the DB-backed wrappers.
search_with_fallback now skips a source that can deliver no target-meeting
quality and escalates to the next (source priority still wins among
satisfying sources; first source's results kept as fallback unless the
profile disables it). Returns RAW tracks — the satisfied check is a coarse
source gate; match-filtering + final ranking stay in the orchestrator so
the correct track is never pruned. Ranking is fail-open: a ranking error
never drops a source's real results.
Tested: rank_with_targets satisfied/fallback matrix + engine escalation,
stop-on-first, raw-not-pruned, fallback on/off. Amazon field test updated
for the corrected format token.

Add core/quality/source_map.py centralising each source's tier->AudioQuality
mapping (Tidal/HiFi tiers, Qobuz real kHz/bit-depth, Deezer codes, Amazon
codec/tier). Add TrackResult.set_quality() to merge a mapped AudioQuality
onto a result. Wire HiFi, Qobuz, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon search results to
stamp real sample_rate/bit_depth so the global ranker no longer relies on
crude kbps heuristics for streaming sources. Fixes Qobuz/Amazon display
labels ('FLAC 24-bit/192kHz', 'Lossless') breaking format derivation.
Tested: 22 passing (mappers + set_quality merge semantics).

wolf's report: Spotify shows 'Calma - Remix', Find & Add searches that literal
string, but the library stores the track as just 'Calma' (only the 3:58 duration
marks it the remix). The literal LIKE '%calma - remix%' misses, so it fell to the
OR-fuzzy fallback which floods on the common word 'remix' (20 unrelated '... remix'
hits). Dropping '- Remix' (searching 'Calma') finds it instantly.
Fix: search_tracks (and api_search_tracks) now retry on the BASE title — the part
before Spotify's ' - ' version separator — BEFORE the OR-fuzzy flood. So
'Calma - Remix' resolves to 'Calma' (or 'Calma (Remix)') and the noise fallback is
never reached when the base matches. New core.text.title_match.base_title_before_dash
(splits the first spaced ' - '; leaves bare hyphens like 'Up-Tight' alone).
Tests: pure helper (3) + real-DB integration reproducing the Calma case, the
parenthesized-remix variant, plain-title-unaffected, and no-flood (4). 64
search/match tests 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.
Enrichment matched artists by NAME ONLY (0.85 gate), so for a common name
('Rone' has ~5 artists) it stored whichever the source ranked first — often the
wrong one, which then drove a wrong/sparse library 'Standard' discography while
'Enhanced' (the real owned albums) showed the full set.
Fix — use the decisive signal the library already has (the albums you OWN):
- worker_utils: pick_artist_by_catalog() + catalog_overlap_score() +
owned_album_titles()/release_titles(). When 2+ candidates clear the name gate,
fetch each one's catalog and choose the one overlapping the owned albums; falls
back to the current best-by-name pick when there's nothing to disambiguate or
no overlap (so the common single-candidate path makes no extra API calls).
- Wired into Spotify (covers Spotify-Free, same client), iTunes, Deezer (now
multi-candidate search_artists + get_artist_info store), and MusicBrainz
(match_artist gains owned_titles; release-groups as the catalog).
Re-match path (#868):
- build_reset_query now also clears the stored source-ID column for artist/album
item resets — previously a 're-match' only nulled match_status, so the worker's
existing-id short-circuit re-confirmed the WRONG id and never re-resolved. Tracks
excluded (ids live in tags, not a column).
- MusicBrainz also self-corrects its 90-day name->mbid cache: match_artist bypasses
a cached mbid whose catalog has ZERO overlap with the owned albums, so a re-match
isn't blocked by a stale wrong cache entry.
Tests: shared selector (9), per-worker disambiguation for all 4 sources + MB
backward-compat + MB cache-revalidation (8), reset-clears-id (2). 99 worker/
enrichment tests green.
Four refinements on top of the tiered matcher:
1. Direct source track-ID tier (new top tier): enrichment writes each source's own
track ID into the file tags (spotify_track_id/deezer_track_id/itunes_track_id/...).
If we have the active source's track ID, fetch that exact track by ID via
get_track_details — zero search. Tiers are now: track-ID -> ISRC -> album->track
-> artist+title. _read_file_ids reads ISRC + all per-source IDs in one tag read.
2. Skip already-proposed tracks: a re-run loads existing finding entity_ids for the
job and skips those tracks before any API call (pending stays deduped, dismissed
stays dismissed) — re-runs are cheap.
3. Wrong-version guard: the fuzzy tiers (album-search + track search) reject a
candidate whose length differs from ours by >5s (live/edit/remix with same title).
_load_tracks now selects t.duration; exact tiers (track-ID/ISRC/stored-album-ID)
skip the guard.
4. Tighter album matching: same-title cuts in an album are disambiguated by closest
duration when track_number doesn't decide it.
Findings record matched_via = track_id | isrc | album | search. 30 repair tests pass
(added track-ID tier, duration guard, dedup-skip, and unit coverage).
Replaces the blind fuzzy search with a smart hierarchy that uses the data we
already have, best identity first:
1. ISRC embedded in the file tags (enriched track) -> exact track.
2. Album -> track: use the album's stored source ID (albums.spotify_album_id /
itunes_album_id / deezer_id / musicbrainz_release_id / audiodb_id) when the
ALBUM is enriched (even if the track isn't); else find the album by searching
'artist album', then locate our track in that album's tracklist by normalized
title (track_number breaks ties). Pins the exact album context. (artist->album->track)
3. Plain artist+title search with similarity scoring. (artist->track) — loosest.
_load_tracks now returns dict rows (adds track_number + the album source-id
columns). Findings record matched_via = isrc | album | search. All clients
(spotify/deezer/itunes/discogs) expose search_albums + get_album_tracks with a
uniform {'items': [...]} shape, so the album tier is source-agnostic.
26 repair tests pass (added album-tier + _find_track_in_album coverage).
The job was doing a blind fuzzy search for every low-quality track, ignoring that
enrichment writes each track's ISRC + per-source IDs into the file tags. Now it
reads the file's embedded ISRC and resolves the EXACT track via each source's
'isrc:' search (universal cross-source key), guarded by an ISRC-equality check so
a source that ignores the syntax can't produce a false match — exact track, exact
album context, one call. Falls back to the name/artist fuzzy search only for
un-enriched tracks with no usable ISRC. Findings record matched_via=isrc|search.
4 new seam tests (guard accept/reject, ISRC-preferred-over-fuzzy, fuzzy fallback).
