New `internal/gc` package with a single Worker that runs all five
lifecycle / retention sweeps from the 2026-06-02 drift audit on a
1-hour tick. Each sweep is small, idempotent (re-running on
already-clean rows is a no-op), and logs its affected-row count.
Sweeps (Scribe parent #552):
- **#566** GcCloseStalePlayEvents — play_events rows opened > 24h
ago that never got a play_ended (client crash, network drop).
Synthesizes ended_at from duration_played_ms when known, falls
back to now() so the row stops looking "open" to downstream
filters (ended_at IS NULL).
- **#565** GcClosePlaySessionsWithNoRecentEvents — play_sessions
with last_event_at older than 6h get ended_at = last_event_at
("user moved on"); empty sessions older than 1h get closed
too (stale handshakes from clients that never recorded a play).
The audit caught that the column was added but never populated
by any writer — every session row was "open" forever, breaking
downstream dedup queries that assume closed semantics.
- **#567** GcExpireScrobbleQueueFailedRows — drops scrobble_queue
rows in status='failed' older than 14 days. The worker stops
retrying after maxAttempts so these otherwise accumulate
forever on a persistent ListenBrainz outage / revoked token.
- **#574** GcResetStuckSystemPlaylistRuns — flips
system_playlist_runs.in_flight back to false on rows whose
last_run_at is older than 10 minutes. Catches goroutine-panic
wedges where the generator died between SET in_flight=true and
SET in_flight=false; the duplicate-prevention check refuses to
start a fresh regen while in_flight, so a stuck row would
otherwise deadlock all future regens for that user. Records
"stuck-row auto-reset by gc" in last_error so the operator can
tell auto-reset from a recent real failure.
- **#575** GcDeleteExpiredPasswordResets — deletes expired
password_resets rows. Unused expired rows go after a 1h grace
(gives the operator time to debug an active reset attempt);
used rows are kept 7 days for audit.
Wiring:
- main.go `go gcWorker.Run(ctx)` alongside the other periodic
workers (scrobble, similarity, lidarr).
- tickOnce fires once at start so a freshly-deployed server does
its initial sweep without waiting a full tick, matching the
scrobble worker pattern.
- Errors per sweep are logged but do NOT abort the remaining
ones — a transient pgx error from one query shouldn't prevent
the others from running.
Tests:
- 4 integration tests, one per UPDATE/DELETE sweep, that seed
rows-to-sweep + rows-to-leave-alone and assert the right rows
changed state. Skip unless MINSTREL_TEST_DATABASE_URL is set
(mirrors the api package pattern).
- Empty-tables no-op smoke test.
- Run() cancellation honoured (no spinning goroutine at
test-runner exit).
That's all five remaining server-side lifecycle findings from the
audit. The Android LOCAL_USER_ID hardcode (#576) is a separate
refactor that needs auth-store wiring and stays in the queue.
