The same rewrite as d191a282, for four packages whose comments carried the
most history: tuning stories, quotes from the operator, single-install
measurements in library_scale.go, and 'used to' accounts of bugs. The
constraint each story protected stays as a present-tense reason (why tier 3
is reduced not removed, why the randomised arms take an order seed, why the
seed artist is eligible in Songs-like). Comments naming system_cron.go and
config.RecommendationConfig, neither of which holds what they claimed, now
name the scheduler and internal/recsettings.
Checked: non-comment tokens identical to HEAD; gofmt clean.

Both mixes move from a single hard eligibility rule to the tiered
ladder, with their tier stamped onto playlist_tracks.pick_kind via the
#1270 provenance pipeline.
New for you (#1267) — consume on play, degrade by stepping back:
- "Consumed" = any track attempted >=30s; played albums leave the mix
at the next build instead of crowding it until the calendar window
expires.
- Tier 1: unconsumed albums added <30d by direct-affinity artists.
Tier 2: unconsumed affinity albums from the wider 30-90d window —
added while you weren't looking. Tier 3: any unconsumed album added
<90d, newest first.
First listens (#1268) — track-level "attempted" threshold:
- A 2-second accidental brush no longer disqualifies a whole album;
"attempted" is duration_played_ms >= 30000 per track.
- Tier 1: albums with zero attempted tracks. Tier 2: barely-attempted
albums (<=25% of tracks reached 30s), minus the attempted tracks
themselves. The artist-affinity ordering signal also moves to the
>=30s definition so skip-only contact doesn't read as trust.
Producer plumbing: fetch adapters map the tier column onto pick kinds,
finishMix propagates PickKind into the persisted candidates, and
rotateForDay now rotates within contiguous same-pick-kind blocks so
daily rotation can't hoist tier-3 filler above tier-1's exact fits
(untiered pools are one block — original behavior).
