The recommendation scoring knobs move out of YAML (radio profile) and
out of the systemMixWeights hard-code (daily_mix profile) into
DB-backed settings with live effect (#1250) — the defaults-discovery
lab per decision #1247: the operator turns knobs to find good values,
which then get baked back into shipped defaults; end users and other
operators should never need the card.
- Migration 0040: recommendation_weight_profiles (radio / daily_mix,
8 weight columns), taste_tuning singleton (engagement half-life +
completion-curve points), recommendation_tuning_audit (one row per
change with a {field, old, new} diff — the trend view's markers,
#1251).
- internal/recsettings: boot reconcile seeds shipped defaults without
clobbering tuned rows (coverart SettingsService pattern), validates
patches (bounds, curve ordering), writes audit rows, and pushes
daily_mix weights + taste config into package playlists. No-op
patches write no audit row.
- playlists gains SetSystemMixWeights / SetTasteConfig swap points
under a RWMutex — no signature threading through the producers; the
scheduler's taste rebuild reads the pushed config.
- Radio reads its weight profile from the service per request; the 8
weight fields leave config.RecommendationConfig (YAML keeps only
RecentlyPlayedHours / RadioSize / RadioSizeMax).
- Admin API: GET/PATCH/reset under /api/admin/recommendation-tuning,
echoing current + shipped values.
- Web: new admin Tuning tab — two weight profiles side by side, taste
card, per-scope save (changed fields only) + reset, deviation dots
against shipped defaults.

Make a fresh install usable out of the box and document the first-run flow
for the public-facing repo.
- Default scan_on_startup to true (Default() + config.example.yaml, which is
the live config baked into the image). Previously false, so a fresh stack
came up with an empty library and no hint to scan. Scans are incremental
(mtime skip), so the per-restart cost is just a directory walk. Re-point
the env-override test to exercise the override against the new default.
- README: add a "First run" walkthrough (register -> scan -> integrations ->
install Android app -> invite users), each grounded in a real route.
- Add docs/screenshots/ with six captures, referenced via width-constrained
<img> wrapped in a link (shrink inline + click to open full size).
API token and invite token were cropped/redacted out of the captures
before commit so no live credential lands in the public history.

The profile built in phase 1 now changes what gets surfaced. Adds a TasteMatch
term to the weighted-shuffle score so candidates are re-ranked by their fit to
the user's learned taste (positive draws toward it; negative reflects passive
avoidance; 0 at cold start).
- recommendation/score.go: ScoringInputs.TasteMatchScore ([-1,+1]) +
ScoringWeights.TasteWeight + the term in Score.
- recommendation/taste.go: LoadTasteProfile reads the taste_profile_* tables;
TasteProfile.Match blends the candidate's artist weight (0.7) and avg genre-tag
weight (0.3), each tanh-squashed by a fixed scale so one outlier artist can't
compress the rest. Unknown artist/tags and empty profiles → 0 (neutral).
- candidates.go: both candidate loaders set TasteMatchScore per candidate, so
every Score caller (system playlists incl. You-might-like, radio) becomes
taste-aware automatically.
- weights: systemMixWeights.TasteWeight = 1.5 (daily mixes are the primary
taste surface); config.RecommendationConfig gains taste_weight (default 1.0,
lighter — radio is seed-directed) wired into the radio handler.
- tests: pure (Match curve incl. saturation/clamp/empty-neutral, Score term
add+subtract) + DB round-trip (seed taste rows → Match positive). All green
vs real Postgres; existing playlist/radio tests unaffected (empty profile →
zero taste effect).

Adds the client-facing endpoint that issues a signed stream URL for
the current track. Authenticated via the standard session cookie.
Returns {token, exp, url} where url is a fully-formed stream URL
the client passes verbatim to a UPnP / Sonos device's
AVTransport.SetAVTransportURI call.
expSeconds clamped to [60, 86400]; default 21600 (6h) - long enough
to play through any typical track without re-minting mid-playback.
MINSTREL_STREAM_SECRET is loaded from env var with a per-machine
fallback persisted at <Storage.DataDir>/stream_secret (auto-generated
on first boot via 64 random bytes, base64-url-encoded, 0600). The
file-based fallback is operator-machine-scoped runtime state, not a
user-facing setting - chosen over a DB column to avoid a migration
and keep the secret out of cross-instance restores. Operator can
override at any time via the env var; default path requires zero
config.
Tests cover happy-path token issuance + URL formatting, bad-UUID
rejection, unauthenticated rejection, the expSeconds clamp at all
boundaries, secret env override, auto-gen + file persistence at 0600,
second-boot reuse of the persisted file, and rejection of a malformed
env value.

Operator feedback (2026-05-09): the 500-album cap meant cover art rolled
in over many nightly runs even when local sources (sidecar/embedded)
could finish in minutes. Remove the global cap; rely on the existing
per-provider HTTP throttle (coverart httpClient MinInterval) so local
art is disk-speed and remote providers stay TOS-friendly.
- enricher.go / artist_enricher.go: EnrichBatch, EnrichArtistBatch,
EnrichRetryMissing now treat limit<0 as unbounded (0 still = stage
disabled). The cap was a SQL LIMIT; unbounded uses max int32.
- main.go: RunScanConfig EnrichCap/ArtistEnrichCap = -1 (unbounded).
- Drop LibraryConfig.CoverArtBackfillCap + the
MINSTREL_LIBRARY_COVERART_BACKFILL_CAP env var.
- Drop the now-dead coverBackfillCap param threaded through
server.New + api.Mount + the handlers struct.
- Admin bulk refetch (/api/admin/covers/refetch-missing) now drains
unbounded; response {queued:int} → {started:bool} (the count is
unknowable synchronously for a fire-and-forget drain). Web copy +
client type + Go/web tests updated to match.
No doc refs existed (config.example.yaml / docker-compose / README
never documented the env var).

The bootstrap-admin-from-env-vars flow was a holdover from before
self-registration could create the first admin. Now that handleRegister
+ CreateUserFirstAdminRace promotes the first user to register on an
empty users table (verified shipped in v2026.05.08.2 / #376), the
bootstrap path is just a second source of truth that confuses operators
(and leaves an "admin" account in the DB that nobody asked for).
Removes:
- internal/auth/bootstrap.go + its test
- The auth.Bootstrap call from cmd/minstrel/main.go
- AuthConfig + AdminBootstrapConfig structs from config
- MINSTREL_AUTH_ADMIN_USERNAME / _PASSWORD env reads + their test
- The auth: block from config.example.yaml
- Bootstrap-related comments in docker-compose.yml + README.md
The README quickstart now points operators at /register on first start
instead of "watch the logs for a one-time password."
Existing instances keep their bootstrap-admin row in the DB; operators
who want it gone can register a new admin via /register, promote them
in /admin/users, then delete the old bootstrap user (last-admin guard
will require the new admin to be promoted first). No migration needed.
Recovery story for forgotten admin passwords now hinges on Fable #321
(admin password reset CLI) — currently the only path back in if no
other admin exists.

Nine golangci-lint failures accumulated across M7 #352, #372, and
6d1709c that were never surfaced because test-go never ran green long
enough to reach the lint step. The first push to land cleanly through
vet (the M7 #363 slice) ran lint and exposed them.
- errcheck: discard the error on defer Close() in collage.go,
collage_test.go, and server_test.go.
- gofmt -s: re-run on config.go and playlists_test.go.
- goimports: move the stray "time" import from the local-module group
to stdlib in server_test.go.
- revive unused-parameter: rename ctx to _ on stubScanner.Scan and
fakeLidarrUnmonitorer.UnmonitorTrack (test stubs); on
tracks.Service's adminID, add //nolint:revive directive rather than
renaming because the HTTP handler passes admin.ID (a real authed-user
UUID) and the existing comment already flags it as reserved for the
audit-log follow-up.
The legacy SMARTMUSIC_ prefix dates from when the project was specced
as "smart-music" before being renamed to Minstrel. Hard cutover to
MINSTREL_* across config.go, tests, config.example.yaml, README, and
docker-compose. Also renames SMARTMUSIC_CONFIG in cmd/minstrel/main.go
which was missed in the original audit.
Also seeds Auth.AdminBootstrap.Username = "admin" in Default() so
MINSTREL_DATABASE_URL is the only env var required for a fresh prod
deployment — the bootstrap auto-generates a password and prints it
to stderr. Drops the now-redundant MINSTREL_AUTH_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin
line from the README quickstart and docker-compose.
M1 follow-up from the #363 final review: guards
MINSTREL_BRANDING_APP_NAME and _DESCRIPTION against empty-string
overrides — empty would have shipped <title></title> to share-preview
crawlers.

Slice 1 of M7 #352 added Server.DataDir but left it un-populated —
the playlist cover-collage writer would have used "" as the relative
path root in production, writing to the current working directory.
- Add Storage.DataDir to Config (yaml: storage.data_dir, env:
SMARTMUSIC_STORAGE_DATA_DIR), defaulting to "./data".
- server.New takes the data dir as a parameter; main.go threads it.
- main.go MkdirAll's the directory at startup so the playlist cover
writer doesn't fail on first use with a missing parent.
- config.example.yaml documents the new section.
Existing internal/server/server_test.go constructs Server directly
without server.New, so no test fixture changes needed for that file.
Wire contextual scoring end-to-end: add ContextWeight to RecommendationConfig
(struct + Default()), fetch the user's current session vector in handleRadio
via loadCurrentSessionVector (cold-start returns Seed sentinel), and pass it
as the 6th arg to LoadCandidates so ContextualMatchScore flows into Shuffle.
