yonluandClaude Opus 5 b3737d30af feat(explore): carry multi-artist credits in the catalog
A track credited to more than one artist has exactly one navigable
artist in this app and the rest are punctuation. `primaryArtist()`
string-parses the credit, strips a " feat. " clause and discards the
guest; it deliberately does not split on "&", "with" or "," because
those live inside real artist names.

Measured on a real 26,069-file library plus an 80+80 MusicBrainz
sample: 13% of recordings are multi-artist upstream, while only 0.86%
of files carry any structured multi-artist tag — mp3 carries zero
files with multiple MUSICBRAINZ_ARTISTID across 19,840. Of 1,286 files
saying "feat.", 90% have nothing structured behind it, and a sample of
80 such files was multi-artist in MB 80 times out of 80.

CLAUDE.md justified plan 013's removal of the credit tables with "3
credits of 2,823 listed more than one artist". That measured our own
*writer* — cachedLinkArtist was called once per credit, so a
collaboration could never have been recorded. Dropping the join table
was still right on cost; the evidence for "multi-artist is rare" was
not.

A credit is ordered parts and the credit string is derived from them,
so join phrases are assembly instructions, not disassembly ones.
Nothing here reconstructs a credit by searching a name inside a credit
string: the stored text may come from tags while the parts come from
the catalog, and those disagree for ~1 in 3 multi-artist credits.

Where it comes from, after two dead ends: the canonical dump CI
already streams has no join phrases and no as-credited names, and the
JSON dumps cover 153,691 recordings of ~35M with *zero* overlap
against a real library. So mbdump.tar.bz2 — 7.1 GB, ~13.7 min in
pure-Go bzip2, whose members are alphabetical, which is what lets one
pass resolve an entity's credit without buffering 35M recordings.

- artist_credit_part / artist_credit_ref, multi-artist credits only:
  a single-artist credit is already explore_index's own artist_name.
- Column layouts verified against the real 20260815 export;
  ErrDumpShape makes a wrong guess a failed build, not a wrong catalog.
- The pass runs on every mode, not just a build. The job picks its mode
  from the index's own state, and a complete import means "refresh",
  which never enters the importer — so credits could otherwise only
  arrive via a rebuild that re-downloads ~205 GB. It reports whether it
  populated anything, which is what flips `changed` and republishes.
- The importer asks whether an artifact carries the tables, on the
  writer where `core` is attached, so the artifact already published
  still imports.

yonluandClaude Opus 5 e7748f1fd5 feat(database): shape the library like files, and shrink the catalog
CI / check (push) Successful in 3m7s
CI / e2e (push) Canceled after 1m45s
Plans 013 and 014, the album page that prompted them, and the smaller
fixes they turned up. Changelog, largest first.

## The local library is shaped like files, not like MusicBrainz

`audio_files` carries its own tags and points at `albums` and
`artists`; `file_genres` is the one real many-to-many. `recordings`,
`release_group_recordings`, `artist_credit`, `artist_credit_artist`,
`recording_genres`, `release_groups` and `release_to_rg` are gone from
the local side, and with them a six-way join in every read, a
`MIN(release_group_id)` subquery in eleven queries and a
first-credited-artist subquery in nine. Measured on a real 25,966-file
library, every many-to-many that model expressed was 1:1 in the data.

- Ownership is a file. `GetFilePathsByRecordingMBIDs`,
  `LibraryMBIDIndex.CheckMBIDs`, `collectLibraryEntities` and
  `pruneStaleLocalCrossReferences` all join `audio_files`, so the 812
  orphaned recordings, 216 release groups and 260 artists that library
  carried are now structurally impossible.
- One projection: every track query selects from the `track_metadata`
  view, one row type, one mapper. Nine hand-rolled copies had drifted
  far enough to report different years on different screens.
- `library_id = 0` means every library, so each list query exists once
  instead of scoped and unscoped with a branch at every call site.
- No migration chain. `sql/schemas/` is the one description of the
  shape; `sql/migrations/`, `applyMigrations` and `schema_migrations`
  are squashed away, along with the drift between them that had sqlc
  generating against a stale schema.
- `database.InsertTestTrack` is the one test seeder; twenty test files
  had been assembling the old FK chain each in its own order.

## The catalog stores its ids as bytes

`explore_index`'s three 36-char MBID columns and its entity-type text
are 16 raw bytes and a small integer. The table and its six indexes go
780 MB to 405 MB on a real 2,052,200-row catalog, which is why a fresh
install is ~0.6 GB rather than ~1.0 GB.

- `backend/explore/mbid.go` is the only place the encoding is known;
  everything above it speaks dashed strings.
- `CHECK(length(mbid) = 16)` makes a stringly write fail at the insert
  rather than silently returning no rows, since SQLite does not coerce
  between TEXT and BLOB.
- The importer asks the artifact what encoding it carries and converts
  on the way in, so the artifact already published keeps working and no
  format bump is needed.
- `indexRowColumns`/`scanIndexRow` replace four copies of a 22-column
  list, and `TestStoredEncodingRoundTrips` sweeps every read path.

## An album page that says how much of the album is yours

- One question, asked once: is there a file. `filePaths` is filled by a
  single batched lookup when the tracklist settles, and the badge, the
  Play count, the dimmed rows and every menu item read it — replacing
  four claims of decreasing confidence that could show a green tick on
  an album whose every action did nothing.
- Play, Play 7 of 12, or no play button at all.
- `total_tracks` on `explore_index` (~2 bytes over 400,677 release
  groups) and on `audio_files` from tags that have always carried it:
  a complete MBID-matched album now makes no catalog call at all, where
  it used to spend the most expensive request the app makes.
- A merged cluster shows the running order the most releases agree on,
  and the version list marks the release you own rather than standing a
  synthetic entry in for it.
- `AlbumReleasesFailed`: a slow fetch is no longer reported as a failed
  one by a 12-second timer.
- Rows not in the library are dimmed in place (with `aria-disabled`)
  instead of the owned ones wearing a green tick and a legend.

## Caches and cover art get ceilings

- Only the three tiers of a cover are stored; the full-resolution copy
  nothing rendered was 1,134 MB of a 1.4 GB covers directory.
- One artist portrait is downloaded and the rest are remembered as
  URLs — 4.1 GB of a 5.3 GB cache was candidates no code path reads.
- `browsedArtBudget` and `httpCacheBudget` bound what an age cannot:
  the same install held art for 5,770 artists in a 1,301-artist
  library.
- `OrphanedArtistImagesJob` joined a bare MBID onto a sharded
  directory, so it deleted the rows that were the only record of the
  files it left behind. `explore.ArtistImageDir` is that layout's one
  definition now.

## The autotag queue asks whether there is work

`tagging_items` was a row per album folder, not a queue, and no query
read the `tag_status` column that held the answer. The four queue
queries ask the files, which matters most where it is least visible:
`startPrefetch` was scoring every album in a tagged library against
MusicBrainz.

## Phantom playlist tracks resolve in place

An M3U8 imported before its files leaves phantom rows; they now match
by path and fall back to position, keep their place in the playlist
when resolved, and pair best-first so two phantoms cannot claim the
same file.

## Playing a track plays the list it is in

Double-click, and Play on a single row's menu, queue the list as
displayed with `startIndex` on that row — the album page and the track
list used to queue one track and discard the album around it. A
multi-row selection still plays exactly itself.

yonluandClaude Sonnet 5 e190fd75b9 feat: data lifecycle rewrite, download clients, wanted list, and central catalog index
Build & publish Arch package / arch-package (push) Successful in 2m12s
Search index maintenance / maintain-index (push) Successful in 2h22m28s
Ships the fresh-start schema cleanup: rebuilt explore catalog index
pipeline (dump import, artifact fetch/build, incremental listen-count
refresh), a new download subsystem (Lidarr/Prowlarr/qBittorrent/SABnzbd/
slskd/yt-dlp providers, staging, reconciliation, wanted list), and the
supporting schema/query/store changes across backend and frontend.

Also includes two smaller follow-ups: bump the central index's
rebuild-after cadence from 90 to 180 days, and remove the Explore
"library only" online/offline toggle entirely (frontend-only, no
backend counterpart) rather than carry unused UI/state.
