Albums previously had no cover concept at all: no picture upload
flow, no GET /albums/{id}/cover, and AlbumApplicationResponse's
image-key fields were plumbed but never populated. Description,
Pictures and TrackCount already lived on the shared Album base entity
for both local and external albums, so unifying the cover story only
required building the missing local-album picture pipeline.
Backend, cloning PlayList's existing async picture-processing
architecture exactly (MassTransit routing slip + saga), but making
the picture mandatory instead of optional (matching Track's pattern):
- AlbumPictures moves from all-nullable to required fields.
- New AlbumConfiguration (routes/sizes), deliberately without
PlayList's preset-picture fallback since a picture is now required
up front.
- CreateAlbum now takes a mandatory PictureIntentId, validates and
consumes the upload intent, and kicks off the same
copy-to-final -> resize -> upload -> update-entity routing slip
PlayLists use, via a new AlbumProcessingState saga that marks the
album Failed on a picture-processing failure.
- UpdateAlbum takes an optional NewPictureIntentId to replace the
cover later.
- New GET /albums/{id}/cover and POST /albums/upload-picture
endpoints, mirroring the playlist ones.
- New EF migration for the AlbumProcessingState saga table.
Frontend:
- AlbumForm gains a cover dropzone, required on create and optional
on edit (via ImageDropzone's new `required` prop), uploaded through
the same presigned-upload helper playlists use.
- New /api/albums/{id}/cover proxy route.
- PlaylistArt gains a generic coverUrl prop so AlbumHeader and the
album list/detail cards render the real uploaded cover instead of
only the track mosaic fallback.
Delete-time picture cleanup for albums is intentionally left as a
follow-up, matching the existing gap in playlist deletion.
web-player
Musify's web client: SvelteKit 2 (adapter-node), Svelte 5 runes, Tailwind 4,
TypeScript. Authentication is server-side OIDC against Zitadel (openid-client
and jose) with an encrypted session cookie; the backend is called from load
functions and form actions through a typed openapi-fetch client.
Development
npm install
npm run dev # :5173
Configuration lives in .env (template in .env.example). Bring the
infrastructure stack up first (see ../deploy/README.md)
and copy the WEB_CLIENT_ID / WEB_CLIENT_SECRET it writes to deploy/.env
into this .env once, then run the dev server.
npm run check # svelte-check — must be clean before closing a change
npm run lint # prettier --check . && eslint .
npm run format # prettier --write .
npm run build # production build into build/
npm run gen:api # regenerate src/lib/api/schema.d.ts from the running API
Production
Built and run as a container by the production stack — see
../deploy/README.md. There the same variables come from
deploy/.env.prod through compose instead of from .env.
Conventions and the design system are documented in CLAUDE.md and
in the musify-web skill.
