The wire field shipped in 366692a1 was inert. MarkTracksMissing and
ClearTracksMissing are plain UPDATEs, and /api/library/sync is a
change-log feed: a row that never produces a change row is never
re-sent. Clients would have kept their stale copy until an unrelated
edit touched the track or the cursor fell out of the retention window
and forced a full resync -- so the flag existed and nothing ever told
anyone to read it.
Found by checking the consumer set rather than the code: the field was
threaded end to end and every test passed, because none of them asked
the question "how does this reach a client?".
Logged BEFORE the mutation, which is the opposite of the scanner's
log-after-success pattern, and deliberately so. The failure modes are
not symmetric. Log-then-fail-to-mark makes clients re-read a track that
has not changed: one wasted fetch. Mark-then-fail-to-log leaves the mark
with no change row -- and because both statements are idempotent
(missing_since IS NULL / IS NOT NULL guards), the next scan will not
retry the pair, so the client never learns. Permanently. A spurious
re-read is much the cheaper mistake.
Restoring logs too. A file coming back that nobody is told about stays
greyed out on every device until something unrelated touches it, which
would be a worse bug than the one being fixed.
Op is upsert, not delete: the track still exists and keeps its history.
Delete would tell clients to drop the row, which is precisely the design
#2704 rejected when it chose to ship state instead of filtering the feed.
Adds sync.LogChanges alongside LogChange, backed by an unnest batch
insert. Every existing caller mutates one entity, so per-row was right
for them; reconcile can mark a quarter of a library in one sweep, where
a loop would be thousands of round-trips inside an already-slow scan.
Closes the last deferred follow-up from #357. The library_changes
table is the append-only change log that drives /api/library/sync's
delta semantics — every mutation (scanner upsert, like, playlist
edit, track delete) writes one row. Without a retention policy the
table grows unbounded; the original migration (0025) called out the
follow-up explicitly.
New goroutine: sync.Compactor runs daily, deletes rows where
changed_at < now - 30 days. Logs a row count when non-zero so
operators can see compaction activity in the journal. First tick
fires on startup so a process that hasn't been compacted in a
while catches up immediately.
30-day retention matches the offline-mode spec
(docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-09-flutter-offline-mode-design.md).
Clients with a cursor older than that hit the existing 410 fallback
path and resync from scratch.
Imported as syncpkg in main.go to follow the existing convention
(see internal/library/scanner.go).

Append-only change log for library entities. Every mutation on
artists/albums/tracks/likes/playlists/playlist_tracks will write a row
in the same transaction as the mutation itself (wired in subsequent
commits). Powers the Flutter delta-sync endpoint (#357).
