The metrics card had one volume threshold doing two jobs. recMetricsLowVolume = 20 is a DISPLAY floor — below that a skip rate is anecdote — but the card then presented deltas as though it were also a DECISION floor. Those differ by an order of magnitude: detecting the ~13pp differences that matter needs ~133 plays per arm for 80% power at a=0.05. So Discover's taste-matched (59 plays) and random-unheard (70) both rendered as full-confidence rows with a bold delta beside them, and that comparison sits at p ~ 0.06. The card said "signal"; the arithmetic said "maybe". It produced a recommendation the data didn't support, and any reader with the same numbers would have made the same call. Deltas now carry a 95% margin of error and a `distinguishable` flag, computed server-side so both clients read the same arithmetic instead of each re-deriving it. Skip rate is a two-proportion difference; completion is Welch, which needs a variance — hence completion_sqsum in the query. It is the sum of squares rather than stddev_samp on purpose: raw source rows are merged into surface families in Go, and sums of squares combine across groups exactly whereas standard deviations cannot. recMetricsLowVolume is untouched. "Too thin to show" and "too thin to act on" are different questions. Web renders an indistinguishable delta as dimmed and prefixed "≈", with the range on hover and a legend explaining the glyph. Colour is withheld unless the delta clears its margin — colouring noise red is what made the old card misleading. Breakdown rows go through the same path; those are the thinnest samples on screen and where the old card misled most. Also fixes the admin trends view, which had the same problem worse: its "Latest skip"/"Latest completion" columns are one WEEK while the adjacent Plays column is the whole window. I misread exactly that and briefly concluded Deep cuts was the worst surface, from ~17 plays in a single week — over 180 days it is one of the best. Headers now name their period and the skip cell carries that week's play count. #2524: resolveArtist now recognises a duplicate-MBID unique violation as the expected condition it is, matching resolveAlbum. Two rows mapping to one MusicBrainz artist is a merge candidate, not a fault; without the branch it logged a generic warning plus a Postgres ERROR line on every scan, which teaches an operator to ignore database errors.
