RFC-013: an artist's portrait and a banner, chosen by hand on the server, as the desktop app already does on the local machine.

Decisions

  1. The library's, not one listener's. Owners and managers set a choice (may_write_metadata), and every member sees it. A listener gets the same 404 a stranger would.
  2. Its own table, artist_image_choice(artist_id, kind, artwork_hash, source, set_by, set_at), never artist.artwork_hash. RFC-011's link_portrait_in rewrites that column on every fill and every read-time repair, so a chosen portrait stored there would be silently replaced.
    • Choices are keyed by the per-library artist row. They survive rescans, but not a change of WAVEFLOW_PID_ARTIST, exactly like album favourites.
    • The artwork sweep must learn this fourth reference, or it deletes chosen images.
  3. Every reader shows the chosen portrait first: COALESCE(choice, artwork_hash).
    • This covers the native API, cover-art resolution, and Subsonic coverArt. Only the image changes there, not the element's shape, so the frozen contract holds.
    • The banner is native-only, as banner_hash. There is no automatic banner, because no fanart provider is configured.
  4. How an image arrives:
    • Raw bytes: JPEG, PNG or WebP recognised from the bytes, at most 10 MiB (the portrait fetcher's cap), with 413 from the route's own limit.
    • A Deezer artist (portrait only), where the operator enabled Deezer. The server searches Deezer, fetches the previews itself through portrait.rs's narrow fetcher, and answers with hashes, not URLs. The client sends a Deezer id and never a URL, so the feat(server): internet radio stations, which are currently an empty container #217 line holds.
  5. A way back: removing a choice returns to the automatic image.
  6. The artist event of RFC-007 is recorded on every change, as for a fetched portrait.

The RFC also explains why this is not the "ingestion route" RFC-011 decision 11 refused, and amends that decision with one sentence.

The order of the work

  1. This RFC.
  2. The choice, served: table, sweep, effective portrait everywhere, banner_hash, upload and removal routes, and the event.
  3. The web client: a banner behind the artist header, and "Change portrait" / "Change banner" for owners and managers.
  4. Deezer candidates for the portrait.

Docs only; no code changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Ajout d’une RFC au statut « Proposed » décrivant des choix de portraits et de bannières d’artistes propres à chaque bibliothèque, visibles par ses membres et modifiables selon les droits prévus.
    • La RFC précise que ces choix sont séparés de l’image automatique et du cache partagé, et que supprimer un choix rétablit l’image automatique sans supprimer directement le fichier.
    • Elle décrit les formats d’image acceptés et la limite de taille des envois, ainsi que la recherche Deezer lorsque le service est configuré et les règles de validation, d’accès et d’expiration des recherches.
    • Elle présente les interfaces concernées, les étapes de réalisation et les questions encore ouvertes.

Owners and managers choose an artist's portrait and a banner by hand, as the desktop does locally: a file, or for the portrait a Deezer artist the server fetches. The choice lives in its own table, never in artist.artwork_hash, which RFC-011's portrait fill rewrites; the artwork sweep keeps what it names; every reader shows the chosen portrait first, Subsonic's coverArt included without a change of shape. Split into three pull requests after this one.

Systems and components

  • observed — docs (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/rfcs/RFC-013-chosen-artist-imagery.md: Ajout des métadonnées de RFC-013, de son statut proposé et de sa relation avec RFC-002, RFC-007 et RFC-011; l’en-tête précise que la RFC ouvre une route d’écriture d’images réservée aux propriétaires et gestionnaires.
  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/rfcs/RFC-013-chosen-artist-imagery.md: La RFC décrit les limites des images automatiques et les sélecteurs locaux de portrait et de bannière de l’application desktop, puis constate que le serveur ne permet pas encore de transmettre ces choix.
  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/rfcs/RFC-013-chosen-artist-imagery.md: Les choix sont partagés par les membres d’une bibliothèque et réservés aux rôles autorisés à modifier les métadonnées; les autres reçoivent 404. La RFC les place dans une table propre à la bibliothèque, séparée du cache partagé.
  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/rfcs/RFC-013-chosen-artist-imagery.md: Ajout du schéma de artist_image_choice, avec une image par artiste et type, sa source et son auteur. La RFC explique que les identifiants d’artiste survivent aux rescans ordinaires mais pas à un changement de WAVEFLOW_PID_ARTIST, et ajoute les choix et les candidats Deezer vivants aux références prises en compte par le balayage des œuvres.

@InstaZDLL InstaZDLL self-assigned this Oct 23, 2026
The candidates route was open to any member and unbounded, at up to twenty fetches a search; it is now for owners and managers, keeps RFC-011's per-provider pace, allows one search per account at a time and answers a repeated query from what it holds. The pick named a Deezer id with nothing to check it against: artist_image_offer remembers each offer for an hour, the pick stores the offered preview only from a live offer of that artist, and the sweep keeps previews a live offer names.

…ith the sweep

artist_image_offer kept neither a candidate's name nor its fans, and its key let only one search offer a given Deezer artist. A search and its ordered candidates now have a table each, so a repeated query is answered whole and two queries may offer the same artist; the pick uses the most recent live search that offered the id. The pick and the sweep both run under the writer gate in one transaction each, the sweep only takes searches already expired, and the foreign key from a choice to its artwork turns any slip into a 422 rather than a dangling hash.

…pick

An incomplete search had no way out: a failed fetch or a restart left it at complete = 0 and its account answered 429 for the rest of the hour. A failing search is now deleted by the request that made it, and boot deletes any left incomplete, so 0 means a fetch in flight. The pick read the provider switch only at search time; it is now read at every call, so removing deezer closes both routes at once, and a portrait already chosen stays.

The sweep deleted searches past expires_at whatever their state, so a search fetching for longer than its life could vanish under the request writing its candidates. expires_at is now NULL while a search fetches and set an hour after it completes; the sweep only ever takes searches with an expiry that has passed, and an incomplete one leaves only by its own request or at boot.

… backs it up

A client that left mid-search dropped the handler with the request, so neither completion nor deletion ran and the search stayed incomplete, answering 429 to its account until the next restart. The fetching now runs in a task of its own that completes or deletes the search whatever the request does, and a fetch deadline twice the worst case counted from searched_at stops a search a panic left behind from counting for the 429; the sweep deletes it then. Boot still clears what is left.

The deadline was computed from request timeouts and the provider's pace, but the pace is shared with enrichment, so waiting for a slot was unbounded and a task could outlive its deadline and be swept mid-write. Each search now has a fixed five-minute deadline that its task runs under as a whole, waits and writes included; its completing write checks the deadline inside the writer-gated transaction. No task runs or writes past it, so the sweep only ever takes what a panic left behind.
