# M5c — Suggested additions on `/discover` — Implementation Plan

> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.

**Goal:** Personalized artist suggestions on `/discover` (search-input-empty state). Top-12 out-of-library artists ranked by per-user signal (likes ×5 + recency-decayed plays), with top-3 contributing seeds attributed per card. One-click add via the existing M5a Lidarr-request flow.

**Architecture:** Extend the M4b similarity ingest worker to persist unmatched artist MBIDs to a new `artist_similarity_unmatched` table (mirrors `artist_similarity` shape). New `internal/recommendation` service runs a single CTE at request time that scores candidates from the user's likes + plays through the unmatched table. New `GET /api/discover/suggestions` handler. Frontend swaps `<DiscoverResultCard>` between the existing search results and a new suggestion feed when the search input is empty.

**Tech Stack:** Go 1.23 · pgx/v5 + sqlc · Postgres + golang-migrate · SvelteKit 2 / Svelte 5 (runes) · TanStack Query · Vitest · existing FabledSword design tokens.

**Spec:** [`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-30-m5c-suggested-additions-design.md`](../specs/2026-04-30-m5c-suggested-additions-design.md). Read it before starting — every decision is explained there.

**Memory dependencies:** `project_design_system.md` (FabledSword tokens), `project_subsonic_legacy.md` (`/api/*` is primary), `project_no_github.md` (Forgejo MCP for PR ops), `project_git_workflow.md` (commit on `dev`; PR to `main` separately).

## Task list

### Task 1 — Migration 0012 + worker upsert query

**Files:**
- Create: `internal/db/migrations/0012_artist_similarity_unmatched.up.sql`
- Create: `internal/db/migrations/0012_artist_similarity_unmatched.down.sql`
- Modify: `internal/db/queries/similarity.sql`
- Regenerate: `internal/db/dbq/*`

- [ ] **Step 1.1: Write the up migration**

`internal/db/migrations/0012_artist_similarity_unmatched.up.sql`:

```sql
-- M5c: persist unmatched-similar-artist MBIDs that the M4b worker would
-- otherwise discard. Mirrors artist_similarity shape: same composite PK
-- with source, same (seed_id, score DESC) index, same source enum check.
-- The candidate side is text + name (no FK) — that's the whole point.

CREATE TABLE artist_similarity_unmatched (
    seed_artist_id  uuid              NOT NULL REFERENCES artists(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    candidate_mbid  text              NOT NULL,
    candidate_name  text              NOT NULL,
    score           DOUBLE PRECISION  NOT NULL,
    source          text              NOT NULL CHECK (source IN ('listenbrainz', 'musicbrainz_tag', 'user_cooccurrence')),
    fetched_at      timestamptz       NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
    PRIMARY KEY (seed_artist_id, candidate_mbid, source)
);

CREATE INDEX artist_similarity_unmatched_seed_score_idx
    ON artist_similarity_unmatched (seed_artist_id, score DESC);
```

- [ ] **Step 1.2: Write the down migration**

`internal/db/migrations/0012_artist_similarity_unmatched.down.sql`:

```sql
DROP INDEX IF EXISTS artist_similarity_unmatched_seed_score_idx;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS artist_similarity_unmatched;
```

- [ ] **Step 1.3: Append the worker upsert query**

Append to `internal/db/queries/similarity.sql`:

```sql
-- name: UpsertArtistSimilarityUnmatched :exec
-- Persists an out-of-library similar-artist MBID. Idempotent on
-- (seed_artist_id, candidate_mbid, source) — re-fetches refresh the
-- name/score and bump fetched_at.
INSERT INTO artist_similarity_unmatched (
    seed_artist_id, candidate_mbid, candidate_name, score, source
) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5)
ON CONFLICT (seed_artist_id, candidate_mbid, source) DO UPDATE SET
    candidate_name = EXCLUDED.candidate_name,
    score          = EXCLUDED.score,
    fetched_at     = now();
```

- [ ] **Step 1.4: Add a `dbtest.ResetDB` entry for the new table**

Modify `internal/dbtest/reset.go` — append `"artist_similarity_unmatched"` to the `dataTables` slice between `track_similarity` and `scrobble_queue` so M5c integration tests don't inherit residual rows.

```go
var dataTables = []string{
	"artist_similarity",
	"track_similarity",
	"artist_similarity_unmatched",  // M5c
	"scrobble_queue",
	// ... rest unchanged ...
}
```

- [ ] **Step 1.5: Regenerate sqlc**

```bash
cd /home/bvandeusen/Nextcloud/Projects/Minstrel/minstrel && sqlc generate
go build ./...
go vet ./...
```

Expected: clean build. New method `UpsertArtistSimilarityUnmatched` appears in `internal/db/dbq/similarity.sql.go`.

- [ ] **Step 1.6: Apply migration to verify it runs**

```bash
docker compose exec -T postgres psql -U minstrel -d minstrel -c "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS artist_similarity_unmatched;"
# Migration applies on next test run / server start.
docker run --rm --network minstrel_minstrel \
  -v "$(pwd):/src" -w /src \
  -e MINSTREL_TEST_DATABASE_URL='postgres://minstrel:minstrel@postgres:5432/minstrel?sslmode=disable' \
  golang:1.23-bookworm \
  go test -race ./internal/db/... -count=1
docker compose exec -T postgres psql -U minstrel -d minstrel -c "\d artist_similarity_unmatched"
```

Expected: `\d` shows the table with all columns + the seed_score index.

- [ ] **Step 1.7: Commit**

```bash
git add internal/db/migrations/0012_artist_similarity_unmatched.up.sql \
        internal/db/migrations/0012_artist_similarity_unmatched.down.sql \
        internal/db/queries/similarity.sql \
        internal/db/dbq/ \
        internal/dbtest/reset.go
git commit -m "feat(db): add artist_similarity_unmatched schema (migration 0012)"
```

### Task 2 — Extend `SimilarArtist` with `Name` field

**Files:**
- Modify: `internal/scrobble/listenbrainz/client.go` — add `Name` to the struct
- Modify: `internal/scrobble/listenbrainz/client_test.go` (if existing tests break) — already-passing tests should still pass since adding a field is additive

The current struct at `internal/scrobble/listenbrainz/client.go:241-245`:

```go
type SimilarArtist struct {
    MBID  string  `json:"artist_mbid"`
    Score float64 `json:"score"`
}
```

ListenBrainz's `/1/explore/similar-artists/{mbid}` endpoint returns each row with `artist_mbid`, `name`, `score`, plus other fields we don't care about. Adding `Name` is a purely additive struct change; existing JSON unmarshal still works for everything else.

- [ ] **Step 2.1: Add the field**

Modify `internal/scrobble/listenbrainz/client.go:241-245`:

```go
type SimilarArtist struct {
    MBID  string  `json:"artist_mbid"`
    Name  string  `json:"name"`
    Score float64 `json:"score"`
}
```

- [ ] **Step 2.2: Verify existing tests still pass**

```bash
go test ./internal/scrobble/listenbrainz/... -count=1
```

Expected: all green. The unmarshal already ignored the `name` field; capturing it doesn't break anything.

- [ ] **Step 2.3: Commit**

```bash
git add internal/scrobble/listenbrainz/client.go
git commit -m "feat(listenbrainz): expose Name on SimilarArtist for M5c suggestions"
```

### Task 3 — Extend similarity worker to persist unmatched MBIDs

**Files:**
- Modify: `internal/similarity/worker.go` — extend `upsertArtistSimilar`
- Modify: `internal/similarity/worker_test.go` — add `TestUpsertArtistSimilar_PersistsUnmatchedToTable`

The current `upsertArtistSimilar` filters returned MBIDs to those in `idByMBID` (in-library only) and discards the rest. M5c keeps the matched-path unchanged but adds a parallel unmatched-persist loop with the same top-K cap.

- [ ] **Step 3.1: Read the current `upsertArtistSimilar` shape**

Read `internal/similarity/worker.go:170-200` (function body) before editing. It mirrors `upsertTrackSimilar` exactly — same sort, same `idByMBID`, same top-K pattern. The matched-loop pattern is the template.

- [ ] **Step 3.2: Extend `upsertArtistSimilar`**

Replace the function body (`internal/similarity/worker.go:170` onwards). The matched loop stays exactly as it was; we add a second loop that walks the same sorted `results` and persists unmatched rows up to `w.topK`:

```go
func (w *Worker) upsertArtistSimilar(ctx context.Context, q *dbq.Queries, artistAID pgtype.UUID, results []listenbrainz.SimilarArtist) {
    if len(results) == 0 {
        return
    }
    sort.Slice(results, func(i, j int) bool { return results[i].Score > results[j].Score })

    mbids := make([]string, 0, len(results))
    for _, r := range results {
        mbids = append(mbids, r.MBID)
    }
    rows, err := q.GetArtistsByMBIDs(ctx, mbids)
    if err != nil {
        w.logger.Warn("similarity: GetArtistsByMBIDs", "err", err)
        return
    }
    idByMBID := make(map[string]pgtype.UUID, len(rows))
    for _, r := range rows {
        if r.Mbid != nil {
            idByMBID[*r.Mbid] = r.ID
        }
    }

    // Matched: in-library similars → artist_similarity (existing path).
    takenMatched := 0
    for _, r := range results {
        if takenMatched >= w.topK {
            break
        }
        localID, ok := idByMBID[r.MBID]
        if !ok {
            continue
        }
        if localID == artistAID {
            continue // defensive — DB CHECK constraint also catches self-edges
        }
        if uerr := q.UpsertArtistSimilarity(ctx, dbq.UpsertArtistSimilarityParams{
            ArtistAID: artistAID, ArtistBID: localID, Score: r.Score, Source: "listenbrainz",
        }); uerr != nil {
            w.logger.Warn("similarity: UpsertArtistSimilarity", "err", uerr)
            continue
        }
        takenMatched++
    }

    // Unmatched: out-of-library similars → artist_similarity_unmatched (M5c).
    // Same top-K cap as the matched path; missing-name rows are skipped (we
    // can't render a suggestion without an artist name).
    takenUnmatched := 0
    for _, r := range results {
        if takenUnmatched >= w.topK {
            break
        }
        if _, inLib := idByMBID[r.MBID]; inLib {
            continue
        }
        if r.Name == "" {
            w.logger.Debug("similarity: skipping unmatched similar with empty name", "mbid", r.MBID)
            continue
        }
        if uerr := q.UpsertArtistSimilarityUnmatched(ctx, dbq.UpsertArtistSimilarityUnmatchedParams{
            SeedArtistID:  artistAID,
            CandidateMbid: r.MBID,
            CandidateName: r.Name,
            Score:         r.Score,
            Source:        "listenbrainz",
        }); uerr != nil {
            w.logger.Warn("similarity: UpsertArtistSimilarityUnmatched", "err", uerr)
            continue
        }
        takenUnmatched++
    }
}
```

Note: the existing function used a single `taken` variable; the new version splits into `takenMatched` and `takenUnmatched` so each path is bounded independently. Verify the existing call to `UpsertArtistSimilarity` in your repo matches the signature you're substituting — sqlc may name the params struct differently.

- [ ] **Step 3.3: Write `TestUpsertArtistSimilar_PersistsUnmatchedToTable`**

Append to `internal/similarity/worker_test.go`:

```go
func TestUpsertArtistSimilar_PersistsUnmatchedToTable(t *testing.T) {
    if testing.Short() {
        t.Skip("skipping integration test in -short mode")
    }
    pool := newPool(t) // existing helper
    q := dbq.New(pool)
    ctx := context.Background()

    // Seed one in-library artist that will be the in-library match.
    inLibMBID := "in-lib-mbid-123"
    inLibArtist, err := q.UpsertArtist(ctx, dbq.UpsertArtistParams{
        Name: "InLib Artist", SortName: "InLib Artist", Mbid: &inLibMBID,
    })
    if err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("seed in-lib artist: %v", err)
    }

    // Seed a "seed" artist (the one whose similars we're processing).
    seedMBID := "seed-artist-mbid"
    seedArtist, err := q.UpsertArtist(ctx, dbq.UpsertArtistParams{
        Name: "Seed Artist", SortName: "Seed Artist", Mbid: &seedMBID,
    })
    if err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("seed artist: %v", err)
    }

    w := &Worker{pool: pool, logger: newTestLogger(), topK: 10}

    similars := []listenbrainz.SimilarArtist{
        {MBID: inLibMBID, Name: "InLib Artist", Score: 0.95},
        {MBID: "out-mbid-1", Name: "Outsider One", Score: 0.85},
        {MBID: "out-mbid-2", Name: "Outsider Two", Score: 0.80},
        {MBID: "out-mbid-3", Name: "Outsider Three", Score: 0.70},
        {MBID: "out-mbid-4", Name: "", Score: 0.60}, // missing name — should be skipped
    }
    w.upsertArtistSimilar(ctx, q, seedArtist.ID, similars)

    // Matched path: 1 row in artist_similarity.
    var matchedCount int
    if err := pool.QueryRow(ctx,
        "SELECT count(*) FROM artist_similarity WHERE artist_a_id = $1",
        seedArtist.ID,
    ).Scan(&matchedCount); err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("count matched: %v", err)
    }
    if matchedCount != 1 {
        t.Errorf("artist_similarity rows = %d, want 1 (only the in-library match)", matchedCount)
    }

    // Unmatched path: 3 rows (out-mbid-1/2/3); the empty-name row is skipped.
    var unmatchedCount int
    if err := pool.QueryRow(ctx,
        "SELECT count(*) FROM artist_similarity_unmatched WHERE seed_artist_id = $1",
        seedArtist.ID,
    ).Scan(&unmatchedCount); err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("count unmatched: %v", err)
    }
    if unmatchedCount != 3 {
        t.Errorf("artist_similarity_unmatched rows = %d, want 3", unmatchedCount)
    }

    // Verify a specific row's name + score round-tripped correctly.
    var name string
    var score float64
    if err := pool.QueryRow(ctx,
        "SELECT candidate_name, score FROM artist_similarity_unmatched WHERE seed_artist_id = $1 AND candidate_mbid = $2",
        seedArtist.ID, "out-mbid-1",
    ).Scan(&name, &score); err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("fetch out-mbid-1: %v", err)
    }
    if name != "Outsider One" || score != 0.85 {
        t.Errorf("row = (%q, %v), want (Outsider One, 0.85)", name, score)
    }

    // suppress unused warning if inLibArtist isn't otherwise referenced
    _ = inLibArtist
}
```

If `internal/similarity/worker_test.go` doesn't already have a `newPool(t)` and `newTestLogger()` helper, mirror the pattern from `internal/lidarrquarantine/service_test.go` — those have working examples.

- [ ] **Step 3.4: Run tests**

```bash
docker run --rm --network minstrel_minstrel \
  -v "$(pwd):/src" -w /src \
  -e MINSTREL_TEST_DATABASE_URL='postgres://minstrel:minstrel@postgres:5432/minstrel?sslmode=disable' \
  golang:1.23-bookworm \
  go test -race -count=1 ./internal/similarity/...
```

Expected: existing tests still pass + new test passes.

- [ ] **Step 3.5: Commit**

```bash
git add internal/similarity/worker.go internal/similarity/worker_test.go
git commit -m "feat(similarity): persist unmatched similar-artist MBIDs for M5c"
```

### Task 4 — `internal/recommendation` `SuggestArtists` service

**Files:**
- Create: `internal/recommendation/suggestions.go`
- Create: `internal/recommendation/suggestions_integration_test.go`
- Modify: `internal/db/queries/recommendation.sql` — add the suggestion CTE query
- Regenerate: `internal/db/dbq/*`

- [ ] **Step 4.1: Append the suggestion query**

Append to `internal/db/queries/recommendation.sql`:

```sql
-- name: SuggestArtistsForUser :many
-- M5c: per-user artist suggestions ranked by signal × similarity. The
-- seeds CTE collects the user's likes (×5) plus recency-decayed plays
-- (exp(-age_days / $2)). The contributions CTE joins those seeds against
-- artist_similarity_unmatched and filters out candidates already in
-- library or already in a non-terminal lidarr_request. The outer SELECT
-- aggregates per candidate, returning the top-3 contributing seeds for
-- attribution. $1=user_id, $2=half_life_days, $3=limit.
WITH seeds AS (
    SELECT a.id AS artist_id,
           5.0 * (CASE WHEN gla.artist_id IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
           + COALESCE(SUM(EXP(- EXTRACT(epoch FROM now() - pe.started_at) / ($2 * 86400.0))), 0)
           AS signal,
           (gla.artist_id IS NOT NULL) AS is_liked,
           COUNT(pe.id) AS play_count
    FROM artists a
    LEFT JOIN general_likes_artists gla ON gla.artist_id = a.id AND gla.user_id = $1
    LEFT JOIN tracks t ON t.artist_id = a.id
    LEFT JOIN play_events pe ON pe.track_id = t.id AND pe.user_id = $1
    WHERE gla.artist_id IS NOT NULL OR pe.id IS NOT NULL
    GROUP BY a.id, gla.artist_id
),
contributions AS (
    SELECT u.candidate_mbid,
           u.candidate_name,
           seeds.artist_id AS seed_id,
           seeds.is_liked,
           seeds.play_count,
           seeds.signal * u.score AS contribution
    FROM artist_similarity_unmatched u
    JOIN seeds ON seeds.artist_id = u.seed_artist_id
    WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM artists WHERE mbid = u.candidate_mbid)
      AND NOT EXISTS (
          SELECT 1 FROM lidarr_requests r
           WHERE r.user_id = $1
             AND r.lidarr_artist_mbid = u.candidate_mbid
             AND r.status NOT IN ('rejected', 'failed')
      )
)
SELECT candidate_mbid,
       candidate_name,
       SUM(contribution)::float8 AS total_score,
       (array_agg(seed_id    ORDER BY contribution DESC))[1:3]    AS top_seed_ids,
       (array_agg(contribution ORDER BY contribution DESC))[1:3]    AS top_contributions,
       (array_agg(is_liked   ORDER BY contribution DESC))[1:3]      AS top_is_liked,
       (array_agg(play_count ORDER BY contribution DESC))[1:3]      AS top_play_counts
FROM contributions
GROUP BY candidate_mbid, candidate_name
ORDER BY total_score DESC
LIMIT $3;
```

The extra arrays (`top_is_liked`, `top_play_counts`) let the SPA pick "liked"/"played" verbiage per attribution-line slot.

- [ ] **Step 4.2: Regenerate sqlc**

```bash
cd /home/bvandeusen/Nextcloud/Projects/Minstrel/minstrel && sqlc generate
go build ./...
```

Expected: clean. New method `SuggestArtistsForUser` in `internal/db/dbq/recommendation.sql.go`. Note the row type may have field names like `TopSeedIds` (plural-suffix suppressed by sqlc) — read the generated file before relying on names in the next step.

- [ ] **Step 4.3: Write `internal/recommendation/suggestions.go`**

```go
// suggestions.go is the M5c per-user artist-suggestion service. Reads
// the user's likes + plays, projects them through artist_similarity_unmatched
// via a single CTE, returns top-N candidates with top-3 attribution seeds

Two things to verify against the actual generated code in `internal/db/dbq/recommendation.sql.go`:
1. The param struct may name `$2` something other than `Column2` (sqlc occasionally renames). Look at `SuggestArtistsForUserParams` and use whatever's there.
2. `GetArtistsByIDs` may not exist — check `internal/db/queries/artists.sql`. If absent, add a query in this same task:

```sql
-- name: GetArtistsByIDs :many
SELECT * FROM artists WHERE id = ANY($1::uuid[]);
```

(If `GetArtistsByMBIDs` exists but not `GetArtistsByIDs`, add the IDs variant; sqlc-regenerate.)

Helper functions `seedAlbumForArtist`, `seedTrackOnAlbum`, `insertPlayEvent` are needed. Mirror the same helpers from `internal/lidarrquarantine/service_test.go`'s `seedTrack` (but parameterize artist):

```go
func seedAlbumForArtist(t *testing.T, pool *pgxpool.Pool, artistID pgtype.UUID, title string) dbq.Album {
    t.Helper()
    a, err := dbq.New(pool).UpsertAlbum(context.Background(), dbq.UpsertAlbumParams{
        Title: title, SortTitle: title, ArtistID: artistID,
    })
    if err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("seed album: %v", err)
    }
    return a
}

func seedTrackOnAlbum(t *testing.T, pool *pgxpool.Pool, albumID, artistID pgtype.UUID, title string) dbq.Track {
    t.Helper()
    tr, err := dbq.New(pool).UpsertTrack(context.Background(), dbq.UpsertTrackParams{
        Title: title, AlbumID: albumID, ArtistID: artistID,
        DurationMs: 1000, FilePath: "/tmp/m5c-" + title + ".mp3",
        FileSize: 1, FileFormat: "mp3",
    })
    if err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("seed track: %v", err)
    }
    return tr
}

func insertPlayEvent(t *testing.T, pool *pgxpool.Pool, userID, trackID pgtype.UUID, startedAt time.Time) {
    t.Helper()
    if _, err := pool.Exec(context.Background(),
        `INSERT INTO play_events (user_id, track_id, started_at, was_skipped) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, false)`,
        userID, trackID, startedAt,
    ); err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("insert play_event: %v", err)
    }
}
```

The exact `play_events` column set may differ from this minimal insert — read the migration `0005_events.up.sql` and add any required NOT-NULL columns (e.g. `client_id`, `session_id`) with sensible defaults if the insert fails.

- [ ] **Step 4.5: Run tests**

```bash
docker run --rm --network minstrel_minstrel \
  -v "$(pwd):/src" -w /src \
  -e MINSTREL_TEST_DATABASE_URL='postgres://minstrel:minstrel@postgres:5432/minstrel?sslmode=disable' \
  golang:1.23-bookworm \
  go test -race -count=1 -p 1 ./internal/recommendation/...
```

Expected: 7 tests pass.

- [ ] **Step 4.6: Commit**

```bash
git add internal/recommendation/suggestions.go \
        internal/recommendation/suggestions_integration_test.go \
        internal/db/queries/recommendation.sql \
        internal/db/queries/artists.sql \
        internal/db/dbq/
git commit -m "feat(recommendation): SuggestArtists service for M5c"
```

(Include `artists.sql` if you added `GetArtistsByIDs` to it in Step 4.3.)

        out = append(out, suggestionView{
            MBID: s.MBID, Name: s.Name, Score: s.Score, Attribution: attr,
        })
    }
    writeJSON(w, http.StatusOK, out)
}
```

- [ ] **Step 5.2: Mount the route**

In `internal/api/api.go`, find the authed group (after `r.Get("/api/radio", ...)` line) and add:

```go
authed.Get("/discover/suggestions", h.handleListSuggestions)
```

- [ ] **Step 5.3: Write handler tests**

Create `internal/api/suggestions_test.go`:

```go
package api

    "net/http"
    "net/http/httptest"
    "testing"

// suppress unused imports in some test layouts
var _ = dbtest.TestUserPrefix
```

`testHandlers`, `seedUser`, `setUserCtx` are existing helpers in the test layout — see `internal/api/auth_test.go` and `internal/api/requests_test.go`. Use whatever pattern those tests use to seed a user and inject it into the request context.

- [ ] **Step 5.4: Run tests**

```bash

  golang:1.23-bookworm \
  go test -race -count=1 -p 1 ./internal/api/... -run Suggestions
```

Expected: 3 tests pass.

### Task 6 — Frontend API client + types + qk

**Files:**
- Create: `web/src/lib/api/suggestions.ts`
- Create: `web/src/lib/api/suggestions.test.ts`
- Modify: `web/src/lib/api/types.ts` — add `ArtistSuggestion`, `SeedContribution`
- Modify: `web/src/lib/api/queries.ts` — add `qk.suggestions(limit)`

- [ ] **Step 6.1: Add types**

Append to `web/src/lib/api/types.ts`:

```ts
export type SeedContribution = {
  artist_id: string;
  name: string;
  contribution: number;
  is_liked: boolean;
  play_count: number;
};

export type ArtistSuggestion = {
  mbid: string;
  name: string;
  score: number;
  attribution: SeedContribution[]; // up to 3 entries, ordered by contribution DESC
};
```

- [ ] **Step 6.2: Add query key**

Append to the `qk` object in `web/src/lib/api/queries.ts`:

```ts
suggestions: (limit?: number) => ['suggestions', { limit: limit ?? 12 }] as const,
```

- [ ] **Step 6.3: Write `suggestions.ts`**

Create `web/src/lib/api/suggestions.ts`:

```ts
import { createQuery } from '@tanstack/svelte-query';
import { api } from './client';
import { qk } from './queries';
import type { ArtistSuggestion } from './types';

export async function listSuggestions(limit = 12): Promise<ArtistSuggestion[]> {
  return api.get<ArtistSuggestion[]>(`/api/discover/suggestions?limit=${limit}`);
}

export function createSuggestionsQuery(limit = 12) {
  return createQuery({
    queryKey: qk.suggestions(limit),
    queryFn: () => listSuggestions(limit),
    staleTime: 5 * 60_000   // 5 minutes
  });
}
```

- [ ] **Step 6.4: Write tests**

Create `web/src/lib/api/suggestions.test.ts`:

```ts
import { describe, expect, test, vi, afterEach } from 'vitest';

vi.mock('./client', () => ({
  api: { get: vi.fn() }
}));

import { listSuggestions } from './suggestions';
import { qk } from './queries';
import { api } from './client';
import type { ArtistSuggestion } from './types';

afterEach(() => vi.clearAllMocks());

describe('suggestions client', () => {
  test('listSuggestions hits the right URL with default limit', async () => {
    const fixture: ArtistSuggestion[] = [
      {
        mbid: 'm1',
        name: 'Outsider',
        score: 1.5,
        attribution: [
          { artist_id: 'a1', name: 'Seed', contribution: 0.9, is_liked: true, play_count: 0 }
        ]
      }
    ];
    (api.get as ReturnType<typeof vi.fn>).mockResolvedValueOnce(fixture);
    const got = await listSuggestions();
    expect(api.get).toHaveBeenCalledWith('/api/discover/suggestions?limit=12');
    expect(got).toEqual(fixture);
  });

  test('listSuggestions honors a custom limit', async () => {
    (api.get as ReturnType<typeof vi.fn>).mockResolvedValueOnce([]);
    await listSuggestions(20);
    expect(api.get).toHaveBeenCalledWith('/api/discover/suggestions?limit=20');
  });

  test('qk.suggestions key shape', () => {
    expect(qk.suggestions()).toEqual(['suggestions', { limit: 12 }]);
    expect(qk.suggestions(20)).toEqual(['suggestions', { limit: 20 }]);
  });
});
```

- [ ] **Step 6.5: Verify**

```bash
cd /home/bvandeusen/Nextcloud/Projects/Minstrel/minstrel/web
npm run check
npm test -- --run suggestions
cd ..
```

Expected: 0 errors, 3 tests pass.

- [ ] **Step 6.6: Commit**

```bash
git add web/src/lib/api/suggestions.ts web/src/lib/api/suggestions.test.ts \
        web/src/lib/api/types.ts web/src/lib/api/queries.ts
git commit -m "feat(web): API client for /api/discover/suggestions"
```

### Task 7 — Extend `<DiscoverResultCard>` with `attribution` prop

**Files:**
- Modify: `web/src/lib/components/DiscoverResultCard.svelte`
- Modify: `web/src/lib/components/DiscoverResultCard.test.ts`

The card already has a `$props()` block accepting `kind`, `title`, `subtitle?`, `imageUrl?`, `state`, `onRequest?`. Add `attribution?: string` and render it in italic Vellum below the title (above the reserved badge slot).

- [ ] **Step 7.1: Add the prop**

In `DiscoverResultCard.svelte`, modify the `$props()` destructure:

```ts
let {
  kind,
  title,
  subtitle,
  imageUrl,
  state,
  attribution,
  onRequest,
}: {
  kind: DiscoverCardKind;
  title: string;
  subtitle?: string;
  imageUrl?: string;
  state: DiscoverCardState;
  attribution?: string;
  onRequest?: () => void;
} = $props();
```

- [ ] **Step 7.2: Render the attribution line**

Find the section rendering the title + subtitle (search for `class="title"` and `class="subtitle"`). Add the attribution line between subtitle and `.badge-row`:

```svelte
<div class="text mt-3">
  <div class="title text-base font-medium text-text-primary">{title}</div>
  {#if subtitle}
    <div class="subtitle text-sm text-text-secondary">{subtitle}</div>
  {/if}
  {#if attribution}
    <div class="attribution text-xs italic text-text-secondary" data-testid="attribution">
      {attribution}
    </div>
  {/if}
  <div class="badge-row" data-testid="badge-row">
    {#if state === 'kept'}
      <span class="kept-pill" role="status">Kept</span>
    {/if}
  </div>
</div>
```

- [ ] **Step 7.3: Add tests**

Append to `DiscoverResultCard.test.ts`:

```ts
test('renders attribution line when prop is set', () => {
  render(DiscoverResultCard, {
    props: {
      kind: 'artist',
      title: 'Outsider',
      state: 'requestable',
      attribution: 'Because you liked Boards of Canada and played Aphex Twin.'
    }
  });
  expect(screen.getByTestId('attribution')).toHaveTextContent('Because you liked Boards of Canada and played Aphex Twin.');
});

test('omits attribution line when prop is absent', () => {
  render(DiscoverResultCard, {
    props: { kind: 'artist', title: 'Outsider', state: 'requestable' }
  });
  expect(screen.queryByTestId('attribution')).not.toBeInTheDocument();
});
```

- [ ] **Step 7.4: Verify + commit**

```bash
cd /home/bvandeusen/Nextcloud/Projects/Minstrel/minstrel/web
npm run check
npm test -- --run DiscoverResultCard
cd ..
git add web/src/lib/components/DiscoverResultCard.svelte web/src/lib/components/DiscoverResultCard.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(web): DiscoverResultCard attribution prop for M5c suggestions"
```

### Task 8 — `<SuggestionFeed>` subcomponent + `/discover` integration

**Files:**
- Create: `web/src/lib/components/SuggestionFeed.svelte`
- Create: `web/src/lib/components/SuggestionFeed.test.ts`
- Modify: `web/src/routes/discover/+page.svelte` — branch to `<SuggestionFeed>` when search is empty
- Modify: `web/src/routes/discover/discover.test.ts` — add suggestion-feed scenarios

- [ ] **Step 8.1: Write `<SuggestionFeed>`**

Create `web/src/lib/components/SuggestionFeed.svelte`:

```svelte

  import type { ArtistSuggestion, SeedContribution } from '$lib/api/types';

  const client = useQueryClient();
  const queryStore = createSuggestionsQuery();
  const query = $derived($queryStore);
  const suggestions = $derived((query.data ?? []) as ArtistSuggestion[]);

  // Track MBIDs the user just requested so the card flips immediately.
  let optimisticRequested = $state(new Set<string>());

  function visible(s: ArtistSuggestion): boolean {
    return !optimisticRequested.has(s.mbid);
  }

  function attributionText(attribution: SeedContribution[]): string {
    if (attribution.length === 0) return '';
    const verb = (s: SeedContribution) => (s.is_liked ? 'liked' : 'played');
    const phrases = attribution.map((s) => `${verb(s)} ${s.name}`);
    if (phrases.length === 1) {

    }
    if (phrases.length === 2) {

  }

  async function onRequest(s: ArtistSuggestion) {
    try {
      await createRequest({

      });
      const next = new Set(optimisticRequested);
      next.add(s.mbid);
      optimisticRequested = next;
      // Suggestions filter requested MBIDs server-side; refetch to drop the row.
      await client.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: qk.suggestions() });
    } catch {
      // Swallow for v1; the SPA will refetch on next mount and the card stays
      // requestable so the user can retry.
    }
  }
</script>

<div>
  <header class="mb-4 space-y-1">
    <h2 class="font-display text-2xl font-medium text-text-primary">Suggested for you</h2>
    <p class="text-text-secondary">Out-of-library artists drawn from what you've liked and played.</p>
  </header>

          onRequest={() => onRequest(s)}
        />
      {/each}
    </div>
  {/if}
</div>
```

- [ ] **Step 8.2: Write `<SuggestionFeed>` tests**

Create `web/src/lib/components/SuggestionFeed.test.ts`:

```ts
import { afterEach, describe, expect, test, vi } from 'vitest';
import { render, screen, fireEvent } from '@testing-library/svelte';
import { mockQuery } from '../../test-utils/query';

const invalidateMock = vi.fn();
vi.mock('@tanstack/svelte-query', async (orig) => {
  const actual = (await orig()) as Record<string, unknown>;
  return { ...actual, useQueryClient: () => ({ invalidateQueries: invalidateMock }) };
});

vi.mock('$lib/api/suggestions', () => ({
  createSuggestionsQuery: vi.fn()
}));

vi.mock('$lib/api/requests', () => ({
  createRequest: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({})
}));

import SuggestionFeed from './SuggestionFeed.svelte';
import { createSuggestionsQuery } from '$lib/api/suggestions';
import { createRequest } from '$lib/api/requests';
import type { ArtistSuggestion } from '$lib/api/types';

const oneSeed: ArtistSuggestion = {
  mbid: 'mb1', name: 'Outsider', score: 1.0,

    { artist_id: 'a2', name: 'B', contribution: 0.5, is_liked: false, play_count: 3 }
  ]
};

const threeSeeds: ArtistSuggestion = {
  mbid: 'mb3', name: 'Outsider Three', score: 3.0,
  attribution: [
    { artist_id: 'a1', name: 'X', contribution: 0.9, is_liked: true, play_count: 0 },

    { artist_id: 'a3', name: 'Z', contribution: 0.3, is_liked: false, play_count: 1 }
  ]
};

afterEach(() => vi.clearAllMocks());

describe('SuggestionFeed', () => {
  test('renders one card per suggestion', () => {
    (createSuggestionsQuery as ReturnType<typeof vi.fn>).mockReturnValue(
      mockQuery({ data: [oneSeed, twoSeeds] })
    );
    render(SuggestionFeed);
    expect(screen.getByText('Outsider')).toBeInTheDocument();

  });

  test('attribution copy: 2 seeds → "Because you liked A and played B."', () => {
    (createSuggestionsQuery as ReturnType<typeof vi.fn>).mockReturnValue(
      mockQuery({ data: [twoSeeds] })
    );
    render(SuggestionFeed);
    expect(screen.getByText(/because you liked a and played b\./i)).toBeInTheDocument();
  });

  test('attribution copy: 3 seeds → Oxford comma', () => {

    render(SuggestionFeed);
    expect(screen.getByText(/listen to something or like an artist/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
  });
});
```

- [ ] **Step 8.3: Wire `<SuggestionFeed>` into `/discover`**

Modify `web/src/routes/discover/+page.svelte`. Read it first — the existing structure runs the search query when `debouncedQ.length > 0`. Add the feed branch:

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
  // ... existing imports ...
  import SuggestionFeed from '$lib/components/SuggestionFeed.svelte';
</script>

<!-- existing markup ... before the kind tabs / search results: -->

<div class="space-y-6">
  <!-- search input always visible -->
  <input ... />

  {#if debouncedQ === ''}
    <SuggestionFeed />
  {:else}
    <!-- existing: kind tabs + search-results grid + track-kind modal -->
    {existing markup unchanged}
  {/if}
</div>
```

The search-input element stays at the top level (visible in both branches). The header copy ("Add music to the library" vs "Suggested for you") is now owned by the respective branch — `<SuggestionFeed>` renders its own header; the search branch keeps the existing one.

If the existing `+page.svelte` has its header above the input, you'll need to move it inside the search branch. Pattern:

```svelte
<input bind:value={inputValue} ... />

{#if debouncedQ === ''}
  <SuggestionFeed />
{:else}
  <header>
    <h2>Add music to the library</h2>
    <p>...</p>
  </header>
  <!-- kind tabs + grid + modal as before -->
{/if}
```

- [ ] **Step 8.4: Update `discover.test.ts`**

The existing tests assume `inputValue === ''` shows the initial-copy state. Now it shows the suggestion feed. Update the relevant test and add new ones:

Add a mock for `$lib/api/suggestions`:

```ts
vi.mock('$lib/api/suggestions', () => ({
  createSuggestionsQuery: vi.fn()
}));
```

Update the existing "initial state shows search prompt copy" test (or add a replacement):

```ts
test('empty input shows the suggestion feed', () => {
  (createSuggestionsQuery as ReturnType<typeof vi.fn>).mockReturnValue(
    mockQuery({ data: [] })
  );
  render(DiscoverPage);
  expect(screen.getByText(/suggested for you/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
});

test('typing replaces feed with search', async () => {
  (createSuggestionsQuery as ReturnType<typeof vi.fn>).mockReturnValue(
    mockQuery({ data: [] })
  );
  // mock the lidarr search query as before
  // ... fire input event to trigger debounced search ...
  // ... advance fake timers ...
  expect(screen.queryByText(/suggested for you/i)).not.toBeInTheDocument();
  expect(screen.getByText(/add music to the library/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
});
```

The existing tests that drive the search flow stay — they always provide a non-empty query. The empty-input case becomes a suggestion-feed test.

- [ ] **Step 8.5: Verify**

```bash
cd /home/bvandeusen/Nextcloud/Projects/Minstrel/minstrel/web
npm run check
npm test -- --run SuggestionFeed discover
npm run build
cd ..
```

Expected: 0 errors, all tests pass, build clean.

- [ ] **Step 8.6: Commit**

```bash
git add web/src/lib/components/SuggestionFeed.svelte \
        web/src/lib/components/SuggestionFeed.test.ts \
        web/src/routes/discover/+page.svelte \
        web/src/routes/discover/discover.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(web): suggestion feed on /discover (search-empty default)"
```

### Task 9 — Final verification + branch finish

- [ ] **Step 9.1: Full Go test sweep**

```bash
go test -short -race ./...
docker run --rm --network minstrel_minstrel \
  -v "$(pwd):/src" -w /src \
  -e MINSTREL_TEST_DATABASE_URL='postgres://minstrel:minstrel@postgres:5432/minstrel?sslmode=disable' \
  golang:1.23-bookworm \
  go test -race -p 1 ./...
```

Expected: short suite + integration suite both green. The pre-existing `internal/library/TestScanner_Integration` flake is documented (`project_scanner_flake.md`) and not blocking.

- [ ] **Step 9.2: Lint clean**

```bash
golangci-lint run ./...
```

Expected: no output.

- [ ] **Step 9.3: Coverage check**

```bash

```

Expected: combined ≥ 80% on the new code per spec §8.

- [ ] **Step 9.4: Frontend full check**

```bash
cd /home/bvandeusen/Nextcloud/Projects/Minstrel/minstrel/web
npm run check
npm test -- --run
npm run build
cd ..
```

Expected: 0 errors, all tests pass, build succeeds.

- [ ] **Step 9.5: Manual smoke**

- Like an artist (or play a few tracks).
- Open `/discover` with the search input empty.
- Verify the "Suggested for you" header + grid renders.
- Verify each card has an attribution line that reads naturally.
- Click Request on a suggestion → confirm it disappears (optimistic) and a row appears at `/requests`.
- Type a search term → confirm the feed swaps out for search results.
- Clear the search input → confirm the feed comes back (cached, instant).
- For a fresh user with no likes/plays, the empty-state copy renders.

- [ ] **Step 9.6: Use `superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch`**

Verify tests are still green, then run the skill to present finish options (merge / PR / keep / discard). Default for this slice is "create a PR to main" matching the established cadence.

## Self-review checklist

**Spec coverage** — every spec section maps to a task:
- §3 Architecture: Tasks 1 (table), 2 (LB client), 3 (worker), 4 (service), 5 (handler), 6-8 (frontend)
- §4 Schema: Task 1
- §5 API surface: Task 5
- §6 UI surfaces: Tasks 7 (DiscoverResultCard), 8 (SuggestionFeed + /discover integration)
- §7 Error handling: distributed across Tasks 3 (worker WARN), 5 (handler 500), 8 (frontend silent-on-failure)
- §8 Testing: every Task includes tests; Task 9 verifies coverage targets
- §9 Decisions ledger: not directly implemented, referenced in commit messages
- §10 Out of scope: explicitly excluded — no album/track suggestions, no realtime invalidation, no cross-user CF, no pagination, no materialization
- §11 Open questions: Task 2 verifies the `Name` field on `SimilarArtist`; cold-start sparseness is documented behavior

**Placeholder scan:** the per-task detail level drops after Task 5 (frontend tasks become standard SvelteKit page work) — intentional for navigability. No "TBD" or "TODO" remains.

**Type consistency:**
- Service method: `SuggestArtists` consistent across plan
- Types: `ArtistSuggestion`, `SeedContribution` consistent across Go and TS
- API path: `/api/discover/suggestions` consistent
- Component name: `<SuggestionFeed>` consistent
- DB field names: `seed_artist_id`, `candidate_mbid`, `candidate_name`, `score`, `source`, `fetched_at` consistent across migration / queries / tests

Plan is complete.
