HoneyandClaude Opus 4.8 4c85fec4ca docs: add CLAUDE.md with project conventions and download-pipeline knowledge
Captures the rules and hard-won details from recent work: no mocked frontend
data, two-part versioning, yt-dlp-only download cascade + Mittelweg rule, file
naming, the YTM-search limitation for obscure tracks, and edit/delete file
resolution. Loaded automatically by Claude Code at session start.

# CLAUDE.md
Guidance for Claude Code when working in this repository.
## What this is
NovaSonic — a self-hosted music streaming **PWA** (Vite + vanilla ES modules) and
**Android app** (Jetpack Compose + Media3/ExoPlayer) for Navidrome / Subsonic servers,
plus a **Node.js/Express backend** that downloads tracks via yt-dlp and proxies APIs.
## Critical rules
- **Never hardcode or mock frontend data.** All library data comes from the Navidrome
(Subsonic) API. No placeholder songs/albums/artists, ever.
- **Don't commit or push unless asked.** When asked, push to the Gitea remote.
- **Two-part versioning** `MAJOR.MINOR` (e.g. `0.8`) — no patch component. Each release
bumps the minor; features and fixes go in the same release. See `CHANGELOG.md`.
- Keep the `CHANGELOG.md` Platform Parity Matrix accurate when adding cross-platform features.
## Layout
- `src/` — web PWA (vanilla ES modules). State in `src/state.js` (the `S` object);
Subsonic/iTunes API in `src/api.js`; views in `src/views/`, UI in `src/ui/`.
- `backend/novasonic-server.js` — Express API (downloads, metadata edit/delete, events/ABS proxy).
- `backend/lib/` — `ytdlp.js` (download + cascade + ffmpeg tagging), `downloader.js`,
`metadata.js` (iTunes lookup, file resolution helpers), `config.js`, `jobs.js`, `romaji.js`.
- `android/` — native Kotlin app (separate; backend-dependent web features like the
metadata editor are **not** in the Android app).
## Commands
```bash
npm run dev # Vite dev server (HMR)
npm run build # production build → dist/
npm run preview # preview the production build
```
Backend runs in Docker (see `docker-compose.yml`); on the deploy host it lives at
`/opt/navidrome/music`. Restart after backend changes: `docker compose restart novasonic-backend`
(this also re-pulls the latest yt-dlp).
## Download pipeline (hard-won knowledge)
- Downloads are **yt-dlp only** (the old squid.wtf/Qobuz backend was removed).
- **File naming:** `{NN - }Artist - Title.ext` with the release suffix stripped from the
title (no `- Single`/`- EP`). The **album folder keeps the full album name**. The cleaned
title (`cleanTitle`/`searchTitle`) drives both the filename and the embedded title tag.
- **Search cascade** (`ytdlp.js`): YTM search first (`web_music` player client, Songs filter
param), then regular YouTube; each candidate filtered by duration (±10%, min 10s),
title keyword, artist channel, and variant exclusions (remix/cover/sped/…).
- **"Mittelweg" rule:** when the duration is known but nothing matches the duration window,
relax only the duration constraint while **still requiring the artist channel**. If nothing
matches, download **nothing** and fail cleanly with "Nicht eindeutig gefunden — bitte
Direktlink im Importer nutzen". Never fall back to a blind first-result grab (it pulled
same-titled videos by other uploaders).
- **Known limitation:** yt-dlp's YTM/YouTube *search* can't surface very obscure Art Tracks by
ambiguously-named artists (e.g. "MINA") — the browser finds them, yt-dlp's API extraction
doesn't (confirmed across params/clients/deno). For those, the **direct link in the importer**
(`sourceUrl` path) is the reliable route.
- **File resolution for edit/delete:** Navidrome's stored path may use a different mount root
or a stale stem. `metadata.js` rebases the path and falls back to recursive/stem matching
(tolerant of release-suffix mismatch). A ghost Navidrome entry needs a full library rescan.
## UI / references
When referencing files in chat, use clickable markdown links, not backticks:
`[ytdlp.js](backend/lib/ytdlp.js)`.
