A full scan re-imports every track, so the per-entity artwork enqueue in persistChanges fired for every album and artist in the library — measured as 100% of both on a live instance, and ~8.5k artists / ~16.7k Deezer fetches on a 96k-file library. Re-importing a track is no evidence the art changed: artist art has no track-content source at all, and the albums re-derived to identical hashes across three consecutive scans. Enqueue through EnqueueIfMissing on a full scan, which anti-joins item_artwork so only entities that never resolved are queued. Incremental scans keep the unconditional Enqueue, where a re-import does mean the file changed. Doing this at the enqueue site rather than skipping it wholesale keeps a first scan filling in covers as it walks, instead of stalling every cover until the scan ends. EnqueueMissing grows a priority argument and runs once at end of scan, so an entity phase 1 never saw still resolves, at Scan priority rather than dropping to Recheck behind the backfill.
