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).
