Comment blocks in cmd/minstrel and 30 smaller internal packages, rewritten
to rule 32's standard with each citation read in context: task, milestone
and rule ids go, and so do the stories they were attached to ("used to",
"Before #N", measurements from one install, quotes, pointers to Fabled
Librarian's records and to docs/superpowers files that are not in the
repo). Where a story wrapped a real constraint, the constraint stays as a
present-tense fact.
Comments that had gone stale are corrected:
- taste.Config: the tuned values are overlaid by internal/recsettings;
it is no longer "a later follow-up".
- StorageConfig: the data dir holds art, caches and the stream secret,
not only playlist covers.
- the Subsonic album list and getUser comments describe what they do
today rather than a milestone that would change it.
Checked: the non-comment token stream of every changed file matches
HEAD, and gofmt -l is empty.

Build a persistent, decaying model of each user's taste, recomputed daily,
that later phases consume across every recommendation surface. Phase 1 only
BUILDS the object — no behaviour change to what's surfaced yet.
Core mechanic — graded engagement (replaces binary was_skipped for learning;
was_skipped stays for History): a play's completion ratio maps to a signal in
[-1,+1] via two linear ramps (instant-skip → -1, ~0.30 neutral, ≥0.90 → +1).
Time-decayed (half-life ~75d) so recent behaviour dominates and the profile
tracks drift.
Per operator constraints:
- No explicit dislike button — negatives come only from passive behaviour
(early skips). Nothing recorded to regret or opt out of.
- Negatives are track-scoped; artist/tag weight is the decayed SUM of their
tracks' engagement, so one skip nets out against many good plays (a
DB test asserts a liked artist stays positive despite an early-skipped
track). A floor clamp bounds how negative any single entity can get.
- migration 0035: taste_profile_artists / taste_profile_tags (signed weight,
indexed by (user, weight DESC)).
- internal/taste: engagement.go (pure curve + decay) + profile.go
(accumulate plays + like bonuses, floor damping, size caps, atomic-replace).
- scheduler: rebuildUserDaily recomputes the profile before the playlist
build (so phase 2 can read it), best-effort — a taste failure never blocks
playlist building. Wired into the daily job + startup catch-up only (not
manual/lazy rebuilds).
- tests: pure (engagement curve, decay, ranking, floor, genre split) +
DB-backed (positive/negative weights, aggregation-protects-artist, like
bonus, atomic replace). All green vs real Postgres.
Config knobs live in taste.DefaultConfig() for now; wiring them into the
server RecommendationConfig is a later follow-up.
