Pre-review audit found premature abstraction + lying docstrings.
Cut what isn't used, made the rest match what's actually shipped.
(1) Engine: dropped 7 cross-server dispatch wrappers that had ZERO
production callers (ensure_connection / get_all_artists /
get_all_album_ids / search_tracks / trigger_library_scan /
is_library_scanning / get_library_stats / get_recently_added_albums).
Every consumer reaches the active client directly via
sync_service._get_active_media_client() or engine.client(name).
Engine surface shrinks to client(name) / active_client() /
active_server / is_connected() (the one wrapper that has callers —
4 dashboard status sites) / configured_clients() / reload_config().
~150 lines deleted, 5 dead-method tests removed.
(2) Contract Protocol body trimmed to match REQUIRED_METHODS exactly
(is_connected, ensure_connection, get_all_artists, get_all_album_ids).
The other 5 methods that were declared in the Protocol
"required" section weren't actually required — Plex doesn't
implement get_recently_added_albums, Jellyfin doesn't implement
search_tracks, SoulSync doesn't implement most of them. Static
contract now matches runtime conformance test. Optional methods
moved to a KNOWN_PER_SERVER_METHODS data-only listing with audited
per-server coverage notes — discoverability without false promises.
(3) Engine module docstring + __init__.py docstring no longer
overclaim "33+ chains collapsed" — only 4 uniform-shape chains
were collapsed; ~18 server-specific chains stay explicit per the
"lift what's truly shared" standard. Phrasing now matches reality.
(4) types.py docstring claimed TrackInfo.from_jellyfin_dict and
TrackInfo.from_navidrome_dict exist as classmethods. They don't —
only from_plex_track / from_plex_playlist do. Jellyfin and Navidrome
construct TrackInfo inline at their call sites today. Docstring
now honest about that + flags the lift as a clean followup.
(5) Engine line 95 comment "backward-compat for source-specific
reaches" was misleading — there is no legacy alternative being
preserved; engine.client(name) IS the canonical access pattern.
Section header rewritten.
Tests: 2121 pass (was 2126; -5 dead-method pin tests).
