Two carry-overs from M3 verification, bundled with the search-input
fix already on dev (b7a59a9).
1. Genre splitting in BuildSessionVector
The library has many tracks whose genre tag is a denormalized
multi-genre string ("Indie Pop; Pop; Alternative Pop"). Reading them
as one opaque tag means a single-genre "Pop" track and a multi-genre
track listing Pop both fail to share the Pop key, so the tags axis
in similarity scoring (weight 0.7!) returned 0 in nearly all cases
on real libraries. Result: contextual scoring couldn't differentiate.
Add splitGenres() that splits on ; and , and trims whitespace;
strings without a delimiter come back as a single-element slice
(so the existing single-genre cases keep working unchanged).
Concatenated-without-separator output ("ElectronicComplextroGlitch
Hop") stays opaque — that needs a genre dictionary, out of scope.
2. Play-radio button on TrackRow
playRadio() was only wired to the click handler on /search and
/search/tracks, leaving /library/liked, album pages, and search
results' inner clicks with no way to start a radio. Adds a small
radio button to TrackRow (between LikeButton and the +queue button).
Click → playRadio(track.id), with stopPropagation so the row's own
activate handler doesn't also fire.
Tests:
- 3 new sessionvector tests: TestSplitGenres, multi-genre semicolon
split, no-separator stays opaque. Existing single-genre tests pass
unchanged.
- 1 new TrackRow test: radio button calls playRadio with track id and
does NOT trigger row play.
Verified locally: go -short -race ./... clean, golangci-lint clean,
svelte-check 0/0, 175 vitest tests (was 174), web build succeeds.

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
devbranch (or feature branches merged intodev). mainis protected — changes land only via pull request fromdev.- Production builds are cut by tagging a release (
v*) offmain.
CI / container image
Forgejo Actions handles:
- Tests on push to
devand on PRs intomain. - Container image build + push to the Forgejo registry on merge to
main(:main) and onv*tags (:<version>).
Task and milestone tracking: Fable (Minstrel project, id 12).
Development
Minstrel has two concurrent dev processes:
- Backend:
docker compose up— starts Postgres and Minstrel on:4533. - Frontend:
cd web && npm install && npm run dev— Vite dev server on:5173with 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.
