* feat(playlists): add average_rating column to playlist table
* feat(playlists): store and read per-user starred/rating annotations
* feat(playlists): clean up annotations when a playlist is deleted
* feat(subsonic): route star/unstar of a playlist to the playlist repository
* feat(subsonic): route setRating of a playlist to the playlist repository
* test(subsonic): guard that playlist responses never expose annotations
* fix(playlists): clean stale mis-typed annotations on upgrade; cover GetAll read-back
* fix(playlists): scope annotation join by item_type and harden delete
Address code-review findings on the playlist-annotations branch:
- withAnnotation: add an item_type predicate to the LEFT JOIN so a
mis-typed annotation row sharing an id can no longer leak into (or
duplicate) another entity's read. Correct for every caller since each
repo writes annotations with item_type = tableName. Regression test added.
- migration: reclassify legacy media_file-typed rows for playlist ids to
item_type='playlist' (instead of deleting them), preserving users' prior
playlist star/rating; run before the average_rating backfill so those
ratings are included.
- playlist Delete: replace the per-request full-table cleanAnnotations()
anti-join with a targeted, permission-safe (rows-affected gated),
best-effort delete so a cleanup failure no longer misreports an
already-committed delete as an error.
- MockPlaylistRepo: implement GetAll/IncPlayCount/ReassignAnnotation to
remove the dead All field and the nil-interface panic traps.
- test: use slices.IndexFunc instead of a hand-rolled find loop.
* feat(playlists): streamline playlist deletion by relying on annotation sweep
* docs(playlists): trim comments in annotation migration and test
Condense the verbose comments added in this branch per the project's
comment-minimalism guideline, keeping only the non-obvious rationale.
The migration's reclassify block is shortened while preserving the safety
invariant (playlist and media_file ids never collide, so the item_type
rewrite touches only mis-typed rows and cannot violate the unique key) and
the ordering note. The redundant 'Populate average_rating' comment is
dropped since the UPDATE is self-evident. The repository test's leakage
comment is condensed to two lines. No code behavior changes.
* refactor(subsonic): resolve setStar targets via GetEntityByID
Replace setStar's Album/Artist/Playlist Exists probe chain with a single
model.GetEntityByID lookup and a type switch, mirroring setRating. This
removes three per-id existence queries and keeps the two annotation paths
consistent.
An id that resolves to no known entity is logged and skipped rather than
filed as a spurious media_file annotation, and a lookup failure on one id no
longer aborts the whole batch. Also drop a duplicate empty-ids guard.
* refactor(playlists): drop no-op reclassify/backfill from migration
The average_rating migration carried two data-fix UPDATEs that are no-ops on
any real database:
- The media_file->playlist reclassification only matches rows no released
build ever created: playlists were never annotatable, so star/setRating of
a playlist id was never written as item_type='playlist'. Any stray
media_file-typed row for a playlist id is already removed by the media_file
annotation GC sweep (item_id not in media_file).
- The average_rating backfill runs before any item_type='playlist' row can
exist, so it can only ever write the default 0. Going forward SetRating
keeps average_rating current via updateAvgRating.
Reduce the migration to the column add/drop.
* refactor(persistence): bind annotation join params, derive idField from tableName
Address PR review: use Squirrel parameter binding for item_type/user_id in
the shared withAnnotation join instead of string concatenation, and pass
r.tableName+".id" from selectPlaylist so the join field stays consistent
with the surrounding r.tableName usage.
* fix(subsonic): surface datastore errors in setStar instead of skipping
Address PR review: setStar swallowed every GetEntityByID error and continued,
so a real datastore failure would still commit the transaction and emit a
refresh event as if the star succeeded. Skip only on model.ErrNotFound (an
unknown id); return any other error so the request fails and rolls back.
* test(subsonic): assert absent JSON keys instead of substring matches
Address PR review: substring checks are brittle ("starred" matches "starredAt",
"rating" matches "userRating"). Unmarshal the response and assert the
annotation keys are absent.
* fix(subsonic): skip refresh broadcast when a star request changes nothing
Address PR review (Codex): once setStar began skipping unknown ids, a request
containing only unresolvable ids left the RefreshResource empty, which
SendMessage serializes as a {*:*} wildcard that forces every client to
refresh. Only broadcast when at least one id was actually starred.
* fix(db): rebase playlist average_rating migration timestamp past master
The 20260708011823 migration predated the newest migration merged to
master (20260712211040_add_primary_key...), which Goose would silently
skip on already-upgraded databases. Rename it to a current timestamp so
it applies in order.
