Minstrel keeps its own list of what it is to get, keyed by MusicBrainz
release group. A want comes from an approved request, a new release by a
followed artist, or an album whose files went missing, and is held once the
library has a full edition of it.
- Migration 0081: release_type_profiles (Standard seeded: Album, EP,
Single, studio only), follows, follow_seen_groups and wants.
lidarr_requests becomes requests with plain *_mbid columns; approved
album and track requests move onto the wanted list, approved artist
requests become follows, and the library's album artists start out
followed. missing_reacquisitions and the retry settings go.
- internal/wanted: follows are checked against MusicBrainz discographies
daily. The first check sets a baseline, and only releases after it are
wanted unless the follow asked for what already exists. Profiles filter
by primary and secondary type, so live recordings stay out unless a
profile ticks Live.
- internal/requests (was lidarrrequests): approving puts the request on
the wanted list, and an artist request can be approved on a chosen
profile. A request completes when its want is held.
- The re-acquisition sweeper wants a missing album back instead of asking
Lidarr; searching for it is the search schedule's (#5521).
- Web: an admin Wanted page (Wanted, Missing files, Held, Following), a
follow control on artist pages, a release-type profiles card on
Integrations, "Approve on a profile" on Requests, and want state on
Missing files. The artist detail API returns the artist's MBID.
- Android: the request body sends artist_mbid, album_mbid and track_mbid.

Minstrel keeps its own record of what artists have released, read from
MusicBrainz, so the wanted list, search and import no longer need Lidarr.
- internal/musicbrainz: searches (artists, release groups, recordings) and
browses (an artist's release groups; a group's releases with track lists).
One process-wide pacer at 1.1s, shared with tag enrichment, because
MusicBrainz's limit is per address. A 503 throttle is retried.
- Migration 0080: mb_artists, mb_release_groups, mb_artist_release_groups
(a collaboration belongs to each credited artist), mb_releases,
mb_release_tracks.
- internal/catalogue: Discography and Releases serve the held copy and
re-read it when older than 7 or 30 days. An unreachable MusicBrainz
serves the stale copy, marked. An hourly pass re-reads due artists.
- Art for what isn't held comes through /api/catalogue/art from the
enabled cover-art sources (Cover Art Archive by release group, then the
name-based sources) and is kept on disk, so the browser never fetches a
third-party host. A miss is a 404 and the card shows its icon.
- Request search moves from /api/lidarr/search to /api/catalogue/search,
with the same response shape. Albums are release groups, and "in
library" matches albums.release_group_mbid. A 10-minute cache absorbs
search-as-you-type. Discover suggestions point at the art endpoint
instead of looking up Lidarr.
- Android calls the new path and loads Discover art through ServerImage.
Installed builds older than this one lose Discover search until they
update (no compatibility path, rule 22).

Implements GET /api/lidarr/search?q=&kind=artist|album|track. Validates
kind and q, loads lidarr_config per-request, calls the matching Lidarr
Lookup* method, enriches each result with in_library (EXISTS by MBID
against artists/albums/tracks) and requested (HasNonTerminalRequestForMBID),
and returns a normalized JSON array. Adds lidarrCfg field to handlers struct
and threads lidarrconfig.Service through Mount and server.Router.
