Three drifts caught in line-by-line review against the pre-lift
web_server.py. All addressed for strict 1:1 behavior parity.
1. /api/enhanced-search/source/<src> now returns plain JSON
`{"artists":[],"albums":[],"tracks":[],"available":false}` (or
`{"videos":[],"available":false}` for youtube_videos) when the
source's client isn't available, matching the original endpoint
contract. Previously streamed an NDJSON `{"type":"done"}` line
instead.
Restructured by splitting the orchestrator into resolve+stream
helpers:
- `resolve_client(source_name, deps)` — already existed, used
for /api/enhanced-search single-source mode
- `resolve_youtube_videos_client(deps)` — new, returns the
soulseek_client.youtube subclient or None
- `stream_metadata_source(source_name, query, client)` — pure
NDJSON generator, caller resolves client first
- `stream_youtube_videos(query, youtube_client, run_async)` —
same shape for the yt-dlp path
The route now decides plain-JSON-vs-stream based on resolution
result, mirroring the original control flow exactly.
2. core/search/library_check.py — reverted the defensive `(x or '')`
and `getattr(plex_client, 'server', None) is not None` patterns
to original byte-for-byte (`x.get('name', '')`,
`plex_client.server`, no try/except around `get_plex_config`).
Lift PR shouldn't change crash semantics; if the original raises
on malformed input, mine should too. Pre-existing edge cases get
their own follow-up PR.
3. core/search/stream.py — same revert: `soulseek_client.youtube`
instead of `getattr(..., 'youtube', None)` etc.
Also removed the module-level `EMPTY_SOURCE` from sources.py and
moved its (per-call) duplicate into _fan_out_response as a local —
the original used a per-request local dict and the identity-check
behavior depends on that. Module-level was a footgun for future
mutations.
789 tests still pass (95 search), ruff clean.
