21-task TDD plan implementing the M5a spec (committed in 17406ee).
Tasks 1-4 are step-level (write test → run → implement → run → commit);
Tasks 5-21 are paragraph-level with template references back to 1-4
to keep the plan navigable while preserving full coverage.
Coverage:
- Task 1: migration 0010 + sqlc queries
- Task 2: internal/lidarr typed client
- Task 3: internal/lidarrconfig singleton wrapper
- Task 4: internal/lidarrrequests Service
- Task 5: internal/lidarrrequests Reconciler worker
- Task 6: RequireAdmin middleware
- Tasks 7-10: API handlers (search, requests CRUD, admin lidarr, admin requests)
- Task 11: cmd/minstrel main wires reconciler
- Tasks 12-13: web design tokens + API clients
- Tasks 14-15: DiscoverResultCard + StatusPill components
- Tasks 16-20: /discover, /requests, /admin/* routes
- Task 21: verification + branch finish
Self-review checklist confirms every spec section maps to a task.

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.
