* test(artwork): add failing e2e tests for artist image leaking as album art Reproduces a v0.62.0 regression (#5451/#5457): the album cover-art parent-folder fallback can include the artist folder, serving the artist thumbnail (e.g. Artist/folder.jpg) as album art for any album without image files in its own folder(s). Covers three scenarios: a plain Artist/Album layout with no album images, a single-disc album spread across sibling folders under the artist folder, and a spread album whose own front.jpg is shadowed by the artist's cover.jpg via CoverArtPriority order. Also adds an albumByName test helper for multi-album layouts. The tests are expected to fail until the parent-folder inclusion is gated by a structural check (skip the common parent when audio from other albums lives under it). * fix(artwork): never serve artist folder images as album art The album cover-art parent-folder fallback (introduced in #5451/#5457) could include the artist folder as a source of album images, serving the artist thumbnail (e.g. Artist/folder.jpg) as cover art for any album without image files in its own folder(s). This affected both plain Artist/Album layouts and single-disc albums spread across sibling folders under the artist folder. Gate the common-parent inclusion with a structural check: the parent only qualifies as an album root when no audio belonging to other albums lives in it or anywhere beneath it. An artist folder contains other albums' tracks, while an album root above disc subfolders contains only this album's, so the check works for any disc folder naming scheme and never affects the multi-disc fixes from #5376/#5456. A single-album artist with no images anywhere remains structurally indistinguishable from an album root and is a known residual case. * refactor(artwork): move album-root audio check into folder repository Replace the raw subtree SQL (LIKE/ESCAPE expression and wildcard escaping) that lived in core/artwork with an explicit FolderRepository.HasAudioOutsideFolders method, implemented in the persistence layer next to the existing folder-subtree query pattern. This also removes the test mock's brittle dispatch that sniffed the generated SQL to recognize the query; the fake now overrides the new method directly. Extract the whole parent-folder resolution from loadAlbumFoldersPaths into an albumRootParent helper, flattening four levels of nesting back into a linear flow. Behavior is unchanged; the unit test for a parent containing audio moved to the persistence suite, with added coverage for subtree boundaries, missing folders, and LIKE-wildcard escaping in folder paths. * refactor(persistence): use exists helper in HasAudioOutsideFolders Replace the hand-rolled count(*) query with the repository's canonical exists helper, as suggested in PR review.
