The first of the named follow-ups in docs/handoff-2026-08-23.md: the track
spec was implemented and tested but governed nothing.

The gap

A scan matches a file by path, then by content hash. A file that is both moved
and re-encoded
answers neither — the path is gone, the bytes are different. It
lands as a new track and the old row goes unavailable, taking its favourites,
ratings, play history and playlist membership with it.

The change

track.pid is the track spec evaluated over the file's tags, written on every
apply and consulted as a third step.

It stays a hint and never becomes an identity. Track ids are still drawn at
random, for the reason already recorded in reconcile_catalog_identity: six
tables cascade off them, so moving one would delete play history rather than
orphan it. The hint is asked only where the hash had nothing to say, and it
moves nothing unless exactly one candidate survives removing the tracks this
walk found and the ones already claimed in the batch. Two files that evaluate
alike — the same album in FLAC and MP3, say — cancel each other out rather than
guessing, because putting a favourite on the wrong row is worse than leaving it
where it was.

Derived in catalog.rs beside the credits, for the reason written there: that
is where identity is written, and reading the tags one way in the scanner and
another in the apply is how the two drift apart.

Existing catalogues

An ordinary scan skips a file it has already seen unchanged, so the column would
have stayed null until someone asked for a full scan — inert on exactly the
installations that have favourites worth keeping. The skip path now fills a
missing hint, and only a missing one (pid IS NULL in the predicate), so the
scan after it pays nothing.

What did not change

A stale hint after a spec change costs a relocation missed the way every one of
them was missed before, never a wrong one. WAVEFLOW_PID_TRACK therefore still
schedules no rescan, and reconcile_catalog_identity still records pid.track
without comparing it. The comment there is updated, since it said nothing was
derived from the track spec.

Tests

One integration test covers both halves: a row stripped of its hint, as an
upgraded instance carries it, filled by a scan that changed nothing; then the
file moved to another folder and rewritten at a different length, keeping its
track id, its availability and its star.

Each half was confirmed to fail with its half of the change removed — 2 tracks
instead of 1 without the third step, and "a scan that skipped the file still
owes it a hint" without the backfill.

The migration is ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN plus an index; the populated-catalogue
migration test in database.rs runs it and answers PRAGMA foreign_key_check.

cargo fmt --all --check, cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -D warnings,
42 unit and 47 integration tests — green.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Nouvelles fonctionnalités

    • Les fichiers audio déplacés ou réencodés peuvent conserver leur identité et leurs favoris grâce à un indice de relocalisation.
    • Les scans renseignent automatiquement cet indice, y compris pour les pistes ignorées.
    • La recherche privilégie la correspondance par contenu avant d’utiliser l’indice, uniquement lorsqu’une correspondance unique est possible.
  • Correctifs

    • Réduction des risques d’associer incorrectement un fichier à une autre piste lors d’une relocalisation.
    • Les indices obsolètes sont automatiquement supprimés après une modification de leurs spécifications.

The track spec was implemented, tested and governed nothing. A scan
matched a file by path, then by content hash; a file that is both moved
and re-encoded answers neither, so it landed as a new track while the old
row went unavailable — taking its favourites, ratings, play history and
playlist membership with it.

`track.pid` is the track spec evaluated over the file's tags, stored on
every apply and consulted as a third step. It stays a hint and never
becomes an identity: track ids are still drawn at random, because six
tables cascade off them and moving one would delete play history rather
than orphan it. The hint is asked only where the first two steps had
nothing to say, and it moves nothing unless exactly one candidate is left
after the tracks this walk found and the ones already claimed are
removed — mistaking two files for one would put a favourite on the wrong
row, which is worse than leaving it where it was.

Derived in `catalog.rs`, next to the credits, for the reason already
written there: that is where identity is written, and reading the tags
one way in the scanner and another way in the apply is how the two drift.

Existing catalogues get it too. An ordinary scan skips a file it has seen
unchanged, so without a backfill the column would stay null until someone
asked for a full scan — inert on exactly the installations with
favourites worth keeping. The skip path fills a missing hint and only a
missing one, so the scan after it pays nothing.

A stale hint after a spec change costs a relocation that is missed the
way every one of them was missed before, never a wrong one, so
`WAVEFLOW_PID_TRACK` still schedules no rescan and `reconcile_catalog_identity`
still does not compare it.

One integration test covers both halves — the backfill on the skip path
and the relocation across a move plus re-encode, with the favourite
surviving. Each half was confirmed to fail with its half of the change
removed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Le schéma ajoute track.pid et son index. Le catalogue calcule, stocke, recherche et invalide les indices PID. Le scanner les utilise après les correspondances par chemin et hash. Les tests couvrent le déplacement, le réencodage et l’invalidation des indices.

Changes

Relocalisation des pistes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Schéma et catalogue PID
migrations-v2/20260824000000_track_pid.sql, src/catalog.rs
La table track stocke un pid nullable avec un index par bibliothèque. Le catalogue calcule cet indice, le lit, le met à jour, le recherche et effectue le backfill des anciennes lignes. Un changement de spécification efface les indices obsolètes sans rescan complet.
Détection et application des déplacements
src/scanner.rs, CLAUDE.md
Le scanner collecte les PID manquants. Il exclut les pistes déjà découvertes ou réclamées, privilégie le hash, puis utilise le PID lorsque le hash ne correspond pas. La documentation décrit ce comportement.
Validation de la relocalisation
tests/v2_foundations.rs
Les tests vérifient qu’un fichier déplacé et réencodé conserve son identité et son favori. Ils vérifient aussi l’invalidation d’un PID, l’absence de rescan complet et sa recréation lors d’un scan ordinaire.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to b9b44

When a moved or re-encoded file cannot be matched by content hash, the PR may preserve the existing track identity using its relocation hint alone. If that hint matches a different file, favorites, ratings, history, and playlist relationships could be assigned to the wrong track, so the change is not merge-ready until this safeguard is addressed.

Comment thread src/catalog.rs Outdated
The review is right and this commit's own parent said otherwise. It
claimed a stale hint costs a missed relocation and never a wrong one.
That holds only if hints written under one spec are never compared
against a lookup computed under another — and nothing separated the two.

`track_id` hashes the evaluated spec string, so two different specs
evaluating to the same string produce the same hint. `title` reading
"intro" and `album` reading "intro" is enough. After a spec change, a new
file could therefore match a stale hint and inherit an unrelated track's
identity, which is to say its favourites, ratings and play history.

A boot that finds `pid.track` different from the spec the catalogue's
hints were written under now clears every one of them, before any scan
uses the new rule. Nothing is re-identified and no full rescan is
charged: the scanner's skip path refills a missing hint, so one ordinary
scan restores what this clears. `pid IS NOT NULL` keeps the repeat boots
before that scan free.

The regression test asserts the invariant that makes the failure
unreachable rather than staging the coincidence: after a spec change no
hint survives, no library is marked for a full scan, an ordinary scan
puts the hint back, and the favourite never moves. Confirmed to fail with
the clearing removed.

`CLAUDE.md` and the migration comment carried the refuted claim and no
longer do.

914-928: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Exigez un full_hash avant de conserver l’UUID.

L’objectif de la PR utilise ce fallback après l’échec du hash, notamment pour un fichier réencodé. Un pid unique peut correspondre à un fichier distinct. Ce chemin peut alors transférer l’UUID, les favoris et les relations du morceau disparu vers ce fichier.

Ne réutilisez l’UUID que si un full_hash confirme la relocalisation. Sinon, créez un nouveau morceau et conservez l’ancien comme indisponible.

As per coding guidelines, « require a full hash to confirm deduplication or relocation ».

`main` is at `d36e929` with 48 integration tests. The mission list said
the module split and the track pid were still to do; both shipped, as
#137 and #139, and each carries the thing the review caught that the
first attempt had wrong — a test filed under a module that covers
neither, and a hint compared across two specs that are not separate
namespaces.

Adds the trap that cost `main` six hours of red: a green pull request
merged onto a base dependabot had already broken. Check the base commit's
CI colour, not only the pull request's.

Everything above the mission list is the record of 2026-08-23 and is left
as written.
