Added

• Multi-source download system with configurable Soulseek/Lidarr primary source and fallback options

• Global and route-level error boundaries for better error handling
• React Strict Mode for development quality checks

• Enrichment P2025 errors when retrying enrichment for deleted entities

Changed

• Audio analyzer default workers reduced from auto-scale to 2 (memory conservative)
• Audio analyzer Docker memory limits: 6GB limit, 2GB reservation
• Download status polling intervals: 5s (active) / 10s (idle) / 30s (none), previously 15s
• Library pagination options changed to 24/40/80/200 (divisible by 8-column grid)
• Lidarr download failure detection now has 90-second grace period (3 checks)
• Lidarr catalog population timeout increased from 45s to 60s
• Download notifications now use API-driven state instead of local pending state
• Enrichment stop button now gracefully finishes current item before stopping
• Per-album enrichment triggers immediately instead of waiting for batch completion
• Lidarr edition variant detection now proactive (enables anyReleaseOk before first search)
• Discovery system now uses AcquisitionService for unified album/track acquisition
• Podcast and audiobook time display now shows time remaining instead of total duration
• Edition variant albums automatically fall back to base title search when edition-specific search fails
• Stale pending downloads cleaned up after 2 minutes (was indefinite)
• Download source detection now prioritizes actual service availability over user preference

Removed

• Artist delete buttons hidden on mobile to prevent accidental deletion
• Audio analyzer models volume mount (shadowed built-in models)

Database Migrations Required

# Run Prisma migrations
cd backend
npx prisma migrate deploy

New Schema Fields:

• Album.originalYear - Stores original release year (separate from remaster dates)
• SystemSettings.enrichmentConcurrency - User-configurable enrichment speed (1-5)
• SystemSettings.downloadSource - Primary download source selection
• SystemSettings.primaryFailureFallback - Fallback behavior on primary source failure
• SystemSettings.lidarrWebhookSecret - Shared secret for Lidarr webhook signature verification
• User.tokenVersion - Version number for JWT token invalidation on password change
• DownloadJob.targetMbid - Index added for improved query performance

Backfill Script (Optional):

# Backfill originalYear for existing albums
cd backend
npx ts-node scripts/backfill-original-year.ts

Breaking Changes

• None - All changes are backward compatible

Security

• Critical: Bull Board admin dashboard now requires authenticated admin user
• Critical: Lidarr webhooks verify signature/secret before processing requests
• Critical: Encryption key validation on startup prevents insecure defaults
• Session cookies use secure settings in production (httpOnly, sameSite=strict, secure)
• Swagger API documentation requires authentication in production (unless DOCS_PUBLIC=true)
• JWT tokens have proper expiration (24h access, 30d refresh) with refresh token support
• Password changes invalidate all existing tokens via tokenVersion increment
• Transaction-based download job creation prevents race conditions
• Enrichment stop control no longer bypassed by worker state
• Download queue webhook handlers use Serializable isolation transactions
• Webhook race conditions protected with exponential backoff retry logic

Release Notes

When deploying this update:

1. Backup your database before running migrations
2. Set required environment variable (if not already set):

   # Generate secure encryption key
   SETTINGS_ENCRYPTION_KEY=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
   

3. Run npx prisma migrate deploy in the backend directory
4. Optionally run the originalYear backfill script for era mix accuracy:

   cd backend
   npx ts-node scripts/backfill-original-year.ts
   

5. Clear Docker volumes for audio-analyzer if experiencing model issues:

   docker volume rm lidify_audio_analyzer_models 2>/dev/null || true
   docker compose build audio-analyzer --no-cache
   

6. Review Settings → Downloads for new multi-source download options
7. Review Settings → Cache for new enrichment speed control
8. Configure Lidarr webhook secret in Settings for webhook signature verification (recommended)
9. Review Settings → Security for JWT token settings

Known Issues

• Pre-existing TypeScript errors in spotifyImport.ts matchTrack method (unrelated to this release)
• Simon & Garfunkel artist name may be truncated due to short second part (edge case, not blocking)
