M5a is the foundation slice of M5 (Lidarr integration + quarantine).
Decomposed into M5a/M5b/M5c during brainstorming on 2026-04-29:
- M5a (this spec) — Lidarr connection + search/add + admin shell
- M5b — Quarantine workflow (per-user soft-hide, admin resolution)
- M5c — Radio suggested-additions (out-of-library MBIDs surfaced)
Each ships as its own PR with its own brainstorm/spec/plan cycle.
Key decisions captured:
- Permissions: search-all, add-admin via request queue
- Config: DB-only, Settings UI is the only entry point (no YAML)
- Settings shape: dedicated /admin/* route group, hard route gate
- Search UX: standalone /discover route, all three granularities
- Lifecycle: library scan as source of truth + 5-min reconciler worker
- Quality profile/root folder: default + per-add admin override
- UI lands at FabledSword design system bar (forest-teal accent;
Moss/Bronze/Oxblood action buttons; per project_design_system memory)
