Snapshots now track when their source data changes. Watchlist scan
emits stale flags on the playlists whose underlying pool just got
refreshed; the next pipeline run sees the flag and regenerates the
snapshot before syncing, so the server playlist never lags the source.
Schema:
- new `is_stale INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0` column on
`personalized_playlists`, plus an idempotent ADD COLUMN migration
in `ensure_personalized_schema` for installs created before this PR.
- `PlaylistRecord.is_stale: bool = False` exposed on the dataclass so
callers can branch on freshness without re-querying.
Manager:
- new `mark_kinds_stale(kinds, profile_id=None)` flips the flag in
bulk for a list of kinds (used by upstream data refreshers).
- `_persist_snapshot` clears `is_stale = 0` on successful refresh.
- SELECT statements + `_row_to_record` updated to read the column
(with tuple-form length guard for safety).
Pipeline:
- `_build_payloads_for_kinds` now branches: refresh_first=True OR
`existing.is_stale` -> refresh_playlist, else read existing
snapshot. So the auto-refresh kicks in without needing the user to
toggle the refresh-each-run option.
Watchlist scanner emits stale flags at three sites:
- after `update_discovery_pool_timestamp` -> marks pool-fed kinds
stale: hidden_gems, discovery_shuffle, popular_picks, time_machine,
genre_playlist, daily_mix.
- after release_radar `save_curated_playlist` -> marks `fresh_tape`.
- after discovery_weekly `save_curated_playlist` -> marks `archives`.
All three calls go through a module-level `_mark_personalized_kinds_stale`
helper that builds a PersonalizedPlaylistManager with `deps=None` (only
DB access is needed for the flag update — no generator dispatch). Each
call is wrapped in try/except so a flag failure can never abort the
scan itself.
Tests:
- new `TestStaleFlag` class in `test_personalized_manager.py` (6
tests): default-false, single-kind flip, multi-kind, profile
scoping, refresh-clears, empty-list noop.
- two new pipeline tests pin the auto-refresh dispatch:
`test_stale_snapshot_auto_refreshes_even_without_refresh_first`
and `test_non_stale_snapshot_skips_refresh`.
- existing stub-manager `SimpleNamespace` returns gained
`is_stale=False` so the new attribute read doesn't AttributeError.
Full suite: 3391 pass.
User-facing WHATS_NEW entry added under 2.5.2 (above the prior
pipeline auto-sync entry) describing the auto-refresh behavior.
