Phase 9 Plan 01: Scan Control Backend Summary

Per-scan cancellable context with pause/resume channel coordination and 3 new scan lifecycle events

Performance

• Duration: 16 min
• Started: 2026-03-07T02:14:23Z
• Completed: 2026-03-07T02:31:08Z
• Tasks: 2
• Files modified: 5

Accomplishments

• Created scan_control.go with CancelScan/PauseScan/ResumeScan/IsScanActive/IsScanPaused methods
• Threaded per-scan cancellable context through walk and worker pipeline (3 select statements)
• Added waitIfPaused checkpoint in worker pool so workers block when paused
• Orphan cleanup and variant generation safely skipped on cancelled scans
• Added LibraryScanCancelled/Paused/Resumed events with TypeScript sync via go generate

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. Task 1: Add scan control events and metrics fields - c695024 (feat)
2. Task 2: Add scan control fields to Library struct and create scan_control.go - cf22e52 (feat)

Files Created/Modified

• backend/library/scan_control.go - CancelScan, PauseScan, ResumeScan, IsScanActive, IsScanPaused, waitIfPaused
• backend/events/events.go - LibraryScanCancelled, LibraryScanPaused, LibraryScanResumed constants
• frontend/src/events.ts - Auto-generated TypeScript event constants
• backend/library/library.go - Scan control fields on Library struct, per-scan context threading, cancellation-aware orphan/variant phases
• backend/library/metrics.go - Cancelled bool field on ScanMetrics

Decisions Made

• Used scanCtx for worker cancellation and l.ctx for DB transactions — ensures in-flight batch commits always complete even when scan is cancelled
• Blocking channel pattern for pause — make(chan struct{}) on pause, close() on resume, all workers select against it
• Orphan cleanup and variant generation skipped on cancel — existingPaths still contains unvisited files that would be incorrectly deleted

Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

Issues Encountered

None

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

• Scan control backend complete, ready for Plan 02 (keyboard shortcuts config) and Plan 03 (frontend scan control UI)
• All 5 new methods are exported and Wails-bindable
• Events synced to TypeScript for frontend consumption

Self-Check: PASSED

• All 5 key files verified on disk
• Both task commits found in git log (c695024, cf22e52)
