When an auto-download fails or returns "not found" with leftover
candidates, the user can already click the status cell to open a
modal showing those candidates and pick a different one. This adds
a manual search bar to that modal — type any query, hit search,
get a fresh round of results without having to bail out and start
over from the main search page.
Solves the case where the auto-query was bad (featured artist not
in title, parentheticals like "(Remastered 2019)" tripping the
matcher, slight artist-name variants, transliteration) but the
file genuinely exists on the source.
Frontend (downloads.js)
- Added a manual-search section above the existing auto-candidates
table inside the candidates modal.
- Source picker is smart per download mode:
- Single-source mode (soulseek-only / youtube-only / etc) shows
a "Searching X" label, no dropdown.
- Hybrid mode shows a dropdown with "All sources" default + every
configured source. Picking "All" runs parallel searches across
them and tags each result row with its source badge.
- Only configured sources show up; unconfigured are hidden.
- Validation: button disabled until query length >= 2, "Type at
least 2 characters" hint until threshold crosses.
- Loading state on search button while the request is in flight.
- Manual results render in a separate table above the existing
auto-candidates table, using the same row template (file /
quality / size / duration / user / ⬇ button) so the renderer
helper is shared.
- Click ⬇ reuses the existing `downloadCandidate(taskId, candidate,
trackName)` flow — same retry path, same AcoustID verification
when the file lands, no shortcut around the safety net.
- Re-running the search with a different query replaces the
previous manual results.
Backend (web_server.py)
- Extended `GET /api/downloads/task/<id>/candidates` response with:
- `download_mode` (e.g. 'hybrid', 'soulseek')
- `available_sources` (list of configured source IDs + labels)
- `source` field on each candidate (purely additive — frontend
auto-renderer ignores it on legacy code paths, manual-search
renderer uses it for the badge)
- Added `POST /api/downloads/task/<id>/manual-search`:
- Body: `{ query, source: 'all' | <source_id> }`
- Validates query length (>=2 trimmed) → 400
- Validates source against the configured-sources gate → 400
(rejects unconfigured sources even when explicitly named)
- For 'all': parallel `ThreadPoolExecutor` dispatch across every
configured download source, merged results
- For specific source: just that source
- Returns same shape as `/candidates` so the frontend renderer
is reused
- New module-level helpers: `_STREAMING_SOURCE_NAMES`,
`_infer_candidate_source`, `_serialize_candidate`,
`_list_available_download_sources`. The existing `/candidates`
endpoint also goes through `_serialize_candidate` so the source
badge is consistent across both flows.
Behavior preserved
- Existing modal layout / candidates table / ⬇ button are
byte-identical when the user doesn't use manual search.
- `downloadCandidate()` JS function untouched.
- `/candidates` and `/download-candidate` endpoints
backwards-compatible — only NEW fields added, nothing changed
or removed.
Tests
`tests/test_manual_search_endpoint.py` — 10 tests:
- `test_manual_search_validates_query_length`
- `test_manual_search_validates_source` (whitelist gate)
- `test_manual_search_handles_task_not_found` (404)
- `test_manual_search_dispatches_to_configured_source_only`
- `test_manual_search_all_dispatches_parallel`
- `test_manual_search_skips_unconfigured_sources`
- `test_manual_search_rejects_unconfigured_source_explicitly`
- `test_manual_search_returns_same_shape_as_candidates`
- `test_manual_search_single_source_mode_lists_source` (verifies
`available_sources` reflects the active mode)
- `test_manual_search_isolates_per_source_exceptions` (one source
throwing doesn't kill the merged result)
2242/2242 full suite green (was 2232 + 10 new). Ruff clean.
JS parses clean.
