The dislike lifecycle promised WARNED -> HIDDEN -> deleted, but nothing ever
removed a file: cleanup.service logged its intent behind
MUZICK_ALLOW_HARD_DELETE and returned, and the two backend delete paths
(hardDeleteTrack, permanentlyDeleteTrack) disagreed about what deletion
meant. The review recommended dropping hard deletion and making HIDDEN
terminal; the owner chose to make deletion real instead.
- cleanup.service performs a true unlink() — no trash directory — for
tracks that have been HIDDEN for a 7-day grace period, then settles the
row. This is the single unlink() call site in the system.
- permanentlyDeleteTrack is the one delete path; hardDeleteTrack is gone.
- a deleted_permanent audit row records what was removed, and
migration 20260730_hard_delete_audit_trail backs it.
MUZICK_ALLOW_HARD_DELETE remains OFF: the docker-compose entry is commented
out, there is no enabling default in code, and the worker's /music bind is
the only writable one. Deletion stays dry-run until the owner opts in
deliberately.

muzick
A high-performance, distributed music orchestration and recommendation platform.
Overview
muzick is designed to manage a local music library while providing an "infinite vibe" listening experience. It bridges the gap between a local filesystem and advanced discovery engines through a tiered recommendation architecture.
Tech Stack
Frontend
- Framework: React
- Routing: TanStack Router
- Data Fetching: TanStack Query (with Look-ahead Buffering)
- State Management: Zustand (for Session/Vibe state)
- Styling: CSS Variables (Customizable Themes)
Backend
- Runtime: Node.js / TypeScript
- Framework: Fastify
- Task Queue: BullMQ (via Redis)
- Search: Typesense
Infrastructure & Data
- Database: PostgreSQL (Source of truth for metadata, relationships, and session state)
- Cache/Queue: Redis
- Audio Analysis: Essentia (via Worker processes)
- External Metadata: MusicBrainz, Discogs, LRCLib, Cover Art Archive
Core Concepts
- The Rolling Vibe: A continuous, evolving stream of music that uses a "Rolling Window" of tracks. It interleaves owned library tracks with high-probability "probation" tracks (external discoveries).
- The Dislike Lifecycle: A multi-stage state machine that protects users from accidental deletions while ensuring the library stays clean.
- Tiered Similarity: Instant metadata-based matches, followed by deep audio-feature similarity.
