PickSeedArtists had a hard 7-day window with no fallback: a week
without listening emptied the seed pool, produceSeedMixes returned
zero playlists, and the daily atomic-replace build deleted every
existing "Songs like X" mix until the user played something again
(#1255).
The query now falls back through widening engagement windows — 7d →
30d → all-time → liked artists — the same tiered shape that fixed the
identical vanish for For You's seeds (PickTopPlayedTracksForUser).
Like-boost scoring is preserved in every tier.
All returned rows share the winning tier, and produceSeedMixes maps it
onto the rule-#131 pick-kind ladder (7d = tier1 exact, 30d = tier2,
all-time/liked = tier3) and stamps the built tracks — the #1270
provenance pipeline then attributes plays and skips to seed freshness,
so the metrics card can say whether stale-seeded mixes actually
perform worse.

A redo: the prior commit truncated cover_art_sources_meta, but
SettingsService.reconcile() only READS that singleton (seeded once by
migration 0018) and never recreates it → ~45 coverart/api tests hard-
failed "get current sources version: no rows". Correct reset: keep
cover_art_provider_settings in the truncate set (boot idempotently
re-UpsertProviderSettings), drop cover_art_sources_meta from it, and
instead `UPDATE cover_art_sources_meta SET current_version = 1` so the
row survives while cross-test version accumulation is cleared.
B residual (exposed once the play_events FK fix let these run):
- seedQuarantine used reason 'test-hide', invalid for the
lidarr_quarantine_reason enum (bad_rip/wrong_file/wrong_tags/
duplicate/other) → use 'other'.
- TestBuildSystemPlaylists_SufficientActivity predated #411/#352: the
variant switch errored on the 5 new seedless mixes and capped
track_count at 25. Accept deep_cuts/rediscover/new_for_you/
on_this_day/first_listens as seedless; raise the cap to 100.
Test/test-harness only.

Latent failures exposed now that integration tests run in CI (#339).
All test/test-harness only — no production code changes.
A (dbtest.ResetDB): also truncate cover_art_provider_settings +
cover_art_sources_meta. The monotonic source-version counter (seeded 1
by 0018) accumulated across internal/coverart tests → CurrentVersion=4
want 1, key-only-bump assertions, enricher source skips. SettingsService
re-seeds both at boot, so a truncated start is the correct fresh state.
B (playlists system_test.seedPlayEvent): inserted play_events with a
random session_id → play_events_session_id_fkey violation (7 tests).
Create the parent play_sessions row in the same statement (CTE).
C (similarity worker_integration_test.newTestWorker): built the client
with only BaseURL. Post-4fca0e6 similarity hits the Labs API via
LabsBaseURL, so an unset LabsBaseURL fell through to the real labs.api
and the stub never ran → 0 similarity rows. Set LabsBaseURL to the stub.
F (library scanner_test): NOT a flake — deterministic. Synthetic
ID3-only MP3s have no decodable duration; the scanner intentionally
won't skip duration_ms=0 rows (retries duration backfill), so every
re-scan reported Updated not Skipped. Seed duration_ms>0 before the
second scan so the mtime-based incremental-skip path under test is
actually exercised. Production scanner behavior unchanged.

Adds the third system playlist variant: 'discover'. Surfaces 100
tracks the operator has not played and not liked, biased toward
artists they rarely play (< 10 plays) and complemented by tracks
liked by other users plus a random unheard sample. Cold start
collapses to all-random; single-user servers redistribute the
cross-user-likes allocation equally across the other two buckets.
The build runs as a fourth phase inside BuildSystemPlaylists
alongside For You and the seed-artist mixes. Same daily-deterministic
md5(track_id || dateStr) ordering as the other variants. Per-album
(<=2) and per-artist (<=3) caps prevent collapse onto a single
prolific artist. Buckets interleave round-robin so the playlist
order doesn't front-load one bucket's flavour.
Post-commit collage generation (already wired) gives Discover the
same 4-cell cover treatment as the other system playlists — no
new collage code needed.
Tests cover the slot-redistribution table (all-available,
cold-start, single-user, partial-dormant, fully-empty), the
per-album/per-artist caps, the round-robin interleave, and a
DB-backed cold-start integration test that asserts a Discover
playlist lands with non-zero tracks.

System-generated playlists ("For You", "Songs like X") rendered with
empty placeholder boxes in the UI even when their contributing tracks
had album art. The build path inserted playlist rows directly without
ever invoking the existing playlists.GenerateCollage machinery —
that was only wired into user-edited playlist mutations.
After this change, BuildSystemPlaylists generates a 4-cell collage
for every system playlist it creates, post-commit. Same cover
mechanism user playlists use, same on-disk layout
(<DataDir>/playlist_covers/<id>.jpg). Cells whose source album lacks
art fall back to the FabledSword glyph, so a partially-covered
library still produces a sensible visual.
Threading: BuildSystemPlaylists, StartSystemPlaylistCron, and the
api lazy-build path all gain a dataDir string parameter; main.go
passes cfg.Storage.DataDir.
Drops the now-redundant PickTopAlbumCoverForArtistByUser lookup —
the collage is more visually informative than a single album cover
copy, and the seed-artist's top album is one of the contributing
tracks in the mix anyway, so it'll appear as one of the four cells.
Tests pass t.TempDir() for the dataDir parameter.
