feat(discover): rank suggestions by taste-tag overlap — #2377 (server)
The payoff slice. Until now a candidate's only claim on a slot was "some
artist you play is adjacent to it in a similarity graph" — a fact that says
nothing about whether the music sounds like anything you like. Now the
candidate's own folksonomy tags (cached by slice 5) are compared against
the user's taste-profile tags, so the deck ranks on taste and can say WHY.
The blend is MULTIPLICATIVE — score × (1 + weight × overlap) — and that
choice carries the whole safety argument:
- An untagged candidate has overlap 0, so its score is EXACTLY unchanged.
Tag coverage is permanently partial (#2376); it must cost a candidate
nothing, not sink it (rule #131).
- Nothing can leapfrog on tags alone. An additive term with a large
weight would let a near-zero-similarity artist outrank a strong match
for sharing one popular tag, which reads as noise.
- Weight 0 restores pure similarity order bit-for-bit, so the operator's
knob has a real off position.
overlap = Σ(shared) candWeight × normalizedTasteWeight ÷ Σ(all) candWeight.
Normalizing the taste side by the user's strongest tag makes the score
comparable across users (taste weights accumulate with listening, so a
heavy listener's raw numbers dwarf a new user's while meaning the same
thing). Dividing by the candidate's own mass makes it comparable across
candidates, so a densely-tagged artist can't win on tag count alone.
Applied to the whole over-fetched pool BEFORE selectSuggestions, so the
rotation and diversity rules operate on blended scores — boosting only the
twelve already chosen by similarity would leave the re-ranking undone.
A query failure is returned, NOT degraded past. Graceful degradation is
for expected absence (no taste profile, no cached tags) and both are
handled explicitly as empty inputs; swallowing a real error would hide a
broken DB behind a subtly worse ranking that nothing reports.
Migration 0051 adds a FOURTH tuning scope rather than columns on
taste_tuning, because snooze_days lives here too and a snooze must never
be read as taste signal (#2374) — filing it under 'taste' would put it one
careless join from the leak that design forbids. Expanding
recommendation_tuning_audit's CHECK is in the same migration per rule #36,
and a test asserts the audit row lands, which is what would catch its
absence.
snooze_days moves out of a Go constant onto the tuning card (rule #25),
closing the deferral from #2374.
Tag-overlap tests use deliberately SKEWED fixtures: an evenly-matching pool
cannot exercise a re-ranking, since every candidate gets the same
multiplier and the order is unchanged whether the blend works or not.
Admin UI + client attribution follow in this batch — rule #27.
