bvandeusen 723eee9773 docs(m7): revise #372 spec — Remove from library no longer goes via Lidarr
Operator decision during Task 2 implementation: routing track removal
through lidarrquarantine.DeleteViaLidarr is wrong because Lidarr is
album-granular (no per-track delete). The original spec would have
silently deleted sibling tracks.

New shape:
- Always delete file + DB row + cascade through Minstrel (os.Remove).
- Confirm dialog asks "find a replacement?": Yes (default — no Lidarr
  call; monitoring re-imports on next scan) or No (call new
  Lidarr.UnmonitorTrack(mbid) primitive).
- Lidarr unmonitor failure is non-fatal — sets lidarr_unmonitor_failed
  on the success envelope so the UI toasts a follow-up message.

Adds a new internal/lidarr.UnmonitorTrack method (LookupTrack →
PUT /api/v1/track/monitor with monitored:false) to Task 2's scope.
Wire codes lidarr_unreachable / lidarr_unauthorized / lidarr_server_error
no longer come back from this endpoint.

Minstrel

Self-hosted music server with OpenSubsonic compatibility plus an extended API for server-side smart shuffle, a dual-like model (general + contextual), session-aware radio, ListenBrainz scrobble/similarity, and Lidarr integration. Go + Postgres, packaged as a Docker container.

State and intelligence belong on the server, not the client.

Specs

Authoritative v1 scope lives under docs/:

  • Server spec — current implementation focus.
  • Client spec — Flutter companion app; work starts once the server reaches its Subsonic-compatible baseline.

Development workflow

  • Day-to-day work happens on the dev branch (or feature branches merged into dev).
  • main is protected — changes land only via pull request from dev.
  • Production builds are cut by tagging a release (v*) off main.

CI / container image

Forgejo Actions handles:

  • Tests on push to dev and on PRs into main.
  • Container image build + push to the Forgejo registry on merge to main (:main) and on v* tags (:<version>).

Task and milestone tracking: Fable (Minstrel project, id 12).

Development

Minstrel has two concurrent dev processes:

  1. Backend: docker compose up — starts Postgres and Minstrel on :4533.
  2. Frontend: cd web && npm install && npm run dev — Vite dev server on :5173 with HMR.

The Vite dev server proxies /api/* and /rest/* to the backend on :4533, so session cookies work correctly when the SPA is loaded from the Vite origin.

Production build

docker build -t minstrel . runs the SvelteKit build inside a node stage, copies the output into the golang stage, and //go:embeds it into the final binary. The resulting container serves the SPA from / alongside the API surfaces. No separate static-file server is required.
