The Fix Track Match modal's auto-search was hardcoded to query only
Spotify -> Deezer -> iTunes, ignoring MusicBrainz entirely — even for
users with MB set as their primary metadata source. MB-niche recordings
(canonical entries with diacritics, fringe / non-mainstream tracks that
the commercial catalogues don't carry) had no chance.
Wiring:
- New `MusicBrainzSearchClient.search_tracks_with_artist(track, artist,
limit)` for surfaces that already have title + artist split. Uses MB's
bare-query mode (strict=False) — diacritic-folded, alias/sortname
indexed — same recall rationale as the earlier MBID-paste endpoint.
- New route `GET /api/musicbrainz/search_tracks` mirrors the existing
/api/{spotify,itunes,deezer}/search_tracks endpoints exactly: accepts
`track`+`artist` (or legacy `query`) + `limit`, returns
`{tracks: [{id, name, artists, album, duration_ms, image_url, source}]}`.
Applies the same `core.metadata.relevance.rerank_tracks` pass Deezer /
iTunes use, which is critical because MB's free-text scoring weighs
title-text matches heavily and would otherwise rank cover / tribute
recordings above the canonical version.
- `_search_tracks_text` gains a `min_score` parameter. The cascade path
passes 20 (vs the enhanced-search-tab default of 80) so MB recordings
whose title doesn't literally contain the artist name still enter the
candidate pool — without that, "Army of Me" + "Bjork" only surfaces
the HIRS Collective cover (score 100) and drops Björk's canonical
recording (score 28). The rerank pass then surfaces Björk by artist
match. Verified against real MB API: pre-fix returned only the cover;
post-fix top 5 are all Björk.
- Fix popup `allSources` array (wishlist-tools.js) gets MB appended.
The existing `activeIdx` reorder logic moves MB to the front when
it's the active primary; otherwise MB sits last (1 req/sec rate
limit makes it the slowest source).
7 new unit tests on the adapter: bare-query mode is used, missing
artist falls back to None (drops AND-clause), empty inputs short-circuit,
low-score candidates are kept for rerank to handle, default strict +
default min_score behaviour preserved for the existing search-tab path,
client errors are swallowed so the cascade falls through to the next
source.
Discogs intentionally absent — Discogs has no track-level search API
(see core/discogs_client.py:575 — returns []). Adding a Flask endpoint
that always returns empty would be a permanent no-op.
Power-user escape hatch on the Discovery Fix Track Match modal — when
fuzzy auto-search ranks the wrong recording among many same-title
versions (10 remasters, live cuts, alt sessions), paste the MusicBrainz
recording URL or bare UUID into the new field and resolve straight to
that record.
Layout:
- Shape adapter `get_recording_flat(mbid)` lives in
`core/musicbrainz_search.py` next to existing `get_track_details`.
Returns the flat Fix-popup track shape (artists as `string[]`,
album as string, single `image_url`) — distinct from the
Spotify-shaped nested dict `get_track_details` returns.
- New route `GET /api/musicbrainz/recording/<mbid>` is a thin wrapper:
validates MBID format with an anchored UUID regex, calls the adapter,
returns 400 / 404 / 200 with no inline shape massaging.
- Frontend `parseMusicBrainzMbid()` lives in `shared-helpers.js` —
pure URL/UUID parser, reusable from other surfaces (failed-MB cache,
manual match) without duplication.
- Fix modal HTML gets one new input row + button; existing search row
and result render pipeline are untouched. New `lookupDiscoveryFixByMbid()`
fetches the endpoint and feeds the single result through the existing
`renderDiscoveryFixResults` -> confirm-dialog -> match pipeline, so MB-
paste matches go through the exact same selection flow as auto-search
results.
- Enter-key bound on the MBID input via a separate handler ref so its
lifecycle matches the search-input handlers without conflating the
two submit targets.
7 unit tests cover the adapter: happy path, empty/None MBID, MB returns
None, recording-without-release (empty album), multi-artist credits,
includes-list contract, and client-error swallow.
Out of scope: the Fix popup's fuzzy cascade is still hardcoded to
spotify/deezer/itunes regardless of which primary source the user has
configured. Adding MB to that cascade (when MB is the active primary)
is a separate concern.
Two bugs surfacing on the Fix popup and enhanced-search MB tab:
1. Strict Lucene phrase queries (`recording:"X" AND artist:"Y"`) killed
recall on user-facing manual search — diacritics ("Bjork" vs canonical
"Björk"), bracketed suffixes like "(Live)", and any AND-clause
mismatch returned zero results. Added `strict: bool = True` param to
`search_release` / `search_recording`; when False, sends a bare query
joining title + artist so MB hits alias/sortname indexes with
diacritic folding. `/api/musicbrainz/search` (Fix popup) and
`core/library/service_search.py` (service tabs) now pass strict=False.
Enrichment workers stay on strict mode — precision matters there
because they auto-accept the top hit above a confidence threshold.
2. Every MB album click was silently 404-ing — `_render_release_as_album`
passed `cover-art-archive` as an MB `inc` param, but it's not a valid
include for the /release resource (MB rejects with 400). The CAA flags
come back on every release response by default, so dropping the bad
include preserves the image-scope picker logic intact.
- Move the metadata and MusicBrainz-related tests into a dedicated tests/metadata subfolder.
- Keep the rest of the suite flat for now.
- Preserve the existing test filenames so the change stays organizational rather than behavioral.
