Summary

Step C of the enrichment plan, which implements RFC-011. No surface changes: nothing reads the cache yet, so every Subsonic container answers what it answers today. D (#266) is the first reader.

  • Settings (src/config.rs, MetadataSettings): WAVEFLOW_METADATA_PROVIDERS (empty, the default, is off), WAVEFLOW_METADATA_IMAGES, WAVEFLOW_METADATA_LASTFM_KEY, the two TTLs, the rate and the timeout. Naming lastfm without its key, an unknown name, or a name given twice refuses to boot. Scrobbling's Last.fm key does not switch this on, per decision 3. The key is redacted from Config's Debug.
  • Two migrations in one file: metadata_artist and metadata_artist_similar, keyed on (provider, name_canonical), where name_canonical is the form artist.canonical_name stores. metadata_album waits for the RFC's open question. Portrait columns come with F.
  • The engine (src/enrichment.rs). Enrichment::artist(name) returns what the cache holds, in the operator's order, stale rows included. For every configured provider with nothing fresh, it schedules a fill in the background and does not wait for it. Each provider's requests are spaced to the rate (a token bucket holding one token). Concurrent first visits for one name collapse onto one fill, and no more than MAX_IN_FLIGHT (64) fills wait or run at once: pacing refuses no request, so without that ceiling a page opening thousands of artists, or an outage that writes no row, would grow the queue without bound. Beyond the ceiling nothing is scheduled, and the next visit asks again. A hit stands for the TTL, a miss (Last.fm's code 6) for the miss TTL, and an unreached lookup writes no row. The writer gate is taken for the row write only, after the requests are over (Database::write_metadata_artist).
  • What is logged: the provider and a verdict (answered HTTP 503, refused with code 10, timed out…), never a URL or a body.
  • The outbound client moves out of scrobblers/ into src/outbound.rs, which both subsystems use. scrobblers::outbound_client keeps its signature as a thin wrapper.
  • RFC-011's erratum: a dated Revised line, and marked corrections to decisions 4 (the key's normalisation, and the columns that shipped), 6 (only the desktop is told when a lookup lands) and 10 (the *ImageUrl fields stay absent). The Implemented by line now names the steps so far.
  • docs/operations.md: how to switch enrichment on, what the server starts contacting, and what it stores and logs.

Only Last.fm exists as a provider. Deezer arrives with portraits in F, and the merge across providers is read in D.

Closes #265.

How I tested

  • cargo test --all-features: every target passes, including the new enrichment target (8 tests against a fake Last.fm on a loopback listener) and config::tests::metadata_providers_are_read_strictly.
  • cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings, cargo fmt --all --check.
  • Each test was made to fail under the change it guards, by an inversion applied and reverted mechanically:
test inversion
an_empty_provider_list_asks_nothing_even_with_a_key build a provider whenever a key is present
a_provider_that_knows_nothing_is_cached_as_a_miss_for_the_miss_ttl give a miss the hit TTL
a_provider_that_cannot_be_reached_writes_no_row write an unreached lookup as a miss
ten_concurrent_first_visits_make_one_request disable the single-flight map
no_more_than_the_ceiling_of_fills_is_ever_queued disable the ceiling
a_redirect_from_the_provider_is_not_followed build the client with Policy::limited(10)
an_answer_over_the_ceiling_is_refused lift MAX_RESPONSE_BYTES in the core, through a temporary [patch] onto a local checkout of bd8d360c
the_key_never_reaches_the_log add the key to the unreached log line
metadata_providers_are_read_strictly accept lastfm without a key
  • The log test captures through a global subscriber at TRACE, the HTTP stack's own events included. A first version used a thread-scoped set_default, which kept two lines out of hundreds because tracing caches callsite interest for the whole process. The test now also asserts that both failure verdicts appear, so a capture that sees nothing cannot pass it.
  • CI caught a flaw in that test on the first push (e4e3d94 fixes it). It asked about one artist twice, so the second engine found the first one's fresh row and sent nothing. The 503 it checked for was only in the log when another test in the binary had produced one. That happened locally and not in CI. Each mode now asks about its own artist. Run alone, the old version fails and the new one passes.
  • Local CodeRabbit review: one finding, fixed. The fill's guard is now built before spawn, so a task dropped before its first poll still releases its key.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Nouvelles fonctionnalités
    • Ajout de l’enrichissement facultatif des métadonnées d’artistes via Last.fm, avec récupération des biographies et des artistes similaires.
    • Les résultats sont mis en cache, y compris les absences de résultat. L’enrichissement est désactivé par défaut et nécessite une clé Last.fm pour être activé.
  • Documentation
    • Ajout des instructions de configuration et de précisions sur les données, les requêtes et le comportement des clients.

Step C of the RFC-011 plan. No surface reads the cache yet; every
container answers as it does today.

- Settings under `WAVEFLOW_METADATA_*`, off unless a provider is named.
  Naming `lastfm` without its key, an unknown name or a name twice
  refuses to boot. Scrobbling's key does not switch this on.
- `metadata_artist` and `metadata_artist_similar`, keyed on the provider
  and the `artist.canonical_name` form of the name.
- The engine: a fill per provider and name, in the background, spaced to
  the configured rate and collapsed when concurrent. A hit stands for the
  TTL, a miss for the miss TTL, and an unreached lookup writes nothing.
  The writer gate is taken for the row write only.
- The outbound client moves out of `scrobblers/` into `outbound`, which
  both use.
- RFC-011 gains a Revised line and corrections to decisions 4, 6 and 10;
  `operations.md` says how to switch enrichment on.

📝 Walkthrough

Le serveur ajoute un enrichissement facultatif des métadonnées d’artistes via Last.fm. Il configure ce service, conserve ses réponses dans un cache SQLite et partage la création du client HTTP avec les scrobblers.

Changes: Enrichissement des métadonnées d’artistes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration et stockage du cache
src/config.rs, migrations-v2/20261015000000_metadata_artist.sql, src/database.rs
La configuration ajoute les paramètres du service et reste désactivée par défaut. La migration crée les tables des réponses et des artistes similaires. La base expose les opérations de lecture et d’écriture du cache.
Client HTTP partagé et état applicatif
src/outbound.rs, src/scrobblers/mod.rs, src/lib.rs
src/outbound.rs centralise la création du client HTTP. Les scrobblers délèguent à ce client. L’état applicatif initialise et expose le moteur d’enrichissement.
Remplissage Last.fm et validation
src/enrichment.rs, tests/enrichment.rs, Cargo.toml, CLAUDE.md, docs/operations.md, docs/rfcs/RFC-011-metadata-enrichment.md
Le moteur renvoie les entrées en cache et programme le remplissage des entrées absentes ou expirées. Il distingue les réponses Hit, Miss et les erreurs sans écriture, et fusionne les remplissages simultanés. Les tests couvrent notamment le cache, les erreurs HTTP, les redirections, les réponses trop volumineuses et la journalisation. La documentation décrit la configuration et rectifie l’état d’implémentation du RFC.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b68d9

The previously reported fill-limit race is fixed. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to b68d9

The integration is disabled by default and has no current application reader. A fixed production destination, bounded background work, transactional cache updates, and preserved outbound restrictions limit immediate exposure. Provider-library internals and deployed recovery behavior were not fully verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new cache is instance-wide rather than account-scoped, and provider requests use an operator-supplied metadata key. Once a reader exists, artist names can cross the provider boundary and cached facts can be shared across libraries. Catalogue visibility must be enforced where a reader resolves those names; the current PR does not supply that reader.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The production constructor selects a fixed HTTPS endpoint rather than accepting a request-controlled destination. The injected HTTP client refuses redirects and environment proxies, and each provider request is enclosed by the configured caller-owned timeout. Custom endpoints remain available to compiled callers through the public constructor seam.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — An upstream failure or incomplete two-request lookup performs no cache replacement, avoiding a long-lived negative answer manufactured from an outage. Successful answers and misses receive separate TTLs. Transactional parent-and-neighbor replacement prevents partial refresh data from becoming the committed cache state; abrupt-process recovery was not demonstrated.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Borner le nombre de fills en attente.

schedule crée une tâche pour chaque couple (provider, nom) absent de in_flight. Rien ne limite le nombre de couples distincts. Pace::wait réserve un créneau par appel et ne refuse jamais de créneau. Avec rate_per_sec = 4, une page qui ouvre 2 000 artistes distincts crée 2 000 tâches et 4 000 créneaux, soit environ 17 minutes de file d’attente. Chaque tâche garde sa clé dans in_flight pendant toute l’attente.

Pendant une panne du provider, aucune ligne n’est écrite. Chaque nouvelle visite remet donc ces fills en file. La file croît alors sans limite tant que les visites continuent. Ce chemin n’est pas encore atteint aujourd’hui, car la façade ne lit pas le cache (D, #266). Le premier lecteur rendra ce chemin actif.

Correction proposée : ne rien planifier au-delà d’un plafond. La visite suivante redemandera le fill.

Correctif proposé
     fn schedule(self: Arc<Self>, index: usize, name: &str, canonical: &str) {
         let key = (self.sources[index].provider, canonical.to_owned());
+        // Au-delà du plafond, on ne planifie rien : la prochaine visite redemandera.
+        if self.in_flight.len() >= MAX_IN_FLIGHT {
+            return;
+        }
         if self.in_flight.insert(key.clone(), ()).is_some() {
             return;
         }

…st's own

Pacing refuses no request, so nothing bounded how many fills could queue:
a page opening two thousand artists, or an outage that writes no row,
would grow the queue for as long as visits continued. Beyond
`MAX_IN_FLIGHT` (64) nothing is scheduled, and the next visit asks again.

`the_key_never_reaches_the_log` asked about one artist twice, so the
second engine found a fresh row and sent nothing; the 503 it checked for
was only there when another test in the binary had logged one. Each mode
now asks about its own artist, and the test passes run alone.

Comment thread src/enrichment.rs Outdated
Reading the map's length and then inserting let two visits on two
threads both see one place left and both take it. The place is now
reserved on the fills counter under its own lock, before the key is
claimed, and given back when the key turns out to be in flight already.
