Summary

  • serve direct media counts from browse cache while preserving correct route and virtual-media totals across cache schema upgrades
  • keep cover availability optimistic when optional enrichment times out and document browse cover status
  • deduplicate nested system roots reliably and add media image/meta timing diagnostics

Verification

  • task lint-fix
  • go test ./pkg/database/mediadb/
  • go test ./pkg/api/methods/

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Browse results now indicate whether cover artwork is available.
    • Browse counts are more accurate for direct files, nested paths, and system-specific views.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of missing or delayed cover information while preserving media identity.
    • Fixed duplicate counting across nested browse locations.
    • Improved recovery when cached browse data is outdated or incompatible.
  • Performance
    • Added request timing diagnostics for media image and metadata operations without changing their behavior.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

You’ve reached a temporary PR review limit under our Fair Usage Limits Policy.

Your recent review volume is higher than typical usage, so adaptive limits are currently applied.

Next review available in: 32 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 3 included reviews currently available under your plan. You completed 70 included PR reviews in the past 7 days; at that activity level, included reviews refill at 3 reviews per hour.

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds the hasCover field, preserves media identity when cover enrichment fails, updates browse-cache schema and counting behavior, improves ancestor-route deduplication, and adds timing logs to media handlers.

Changes

Media cover status and API behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cover-status enrichment and API contract
docs/api/methods.md, pkg/api/methods/media.go, pkg/api/methods/media_history.go, pkg/api/methods/*_test.go
Search and history responses default HasCover to true when enrichment fails. Media IDs remain populated. The API documents the required hasCover field.
Media handler timing instrumentation
pkg/api/methods/media_image.go, pkg/api/methods/media_meta.go, pkg/api/methods/*_test.go
The image and metadata handlers log duration, request metadata, item counts, and success state through deferred debug logging.

Browse cache and counting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Browse-cache schema and invalidation
pkg/database/mediadb/sql_browse_cache.go, pkg/database/mediadb/sql_config.go, pkg/database/mediadb/*_test.go
The cache schema advances to version 3. Cache rows record direct-file counts and coverage. Refresh and invalidation validate compatibility without relabeling incompatible or missing versions.
Browse counts and route deduplication
pkg/database/mediadb/sql_browse.go, pkg/api/methods/media_browse.go, pkg/api/methods/media_browse_test.go, pkg/database/mediadb/*_test.go
Browse counts use cached direct-file totals when eligible and fall back to media rows otherwise. Route totals exclude self rows where required. Ancestor routes are removed iteratively when descendants cover their counts. Route counting applies timeout and presence-probe handling.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 29ad9

The media reliability changes are mergeable with owner awareness, but timing diagnostics still need focused checks for recorded values and early-return paths, and cancellation behavior should be asserted precisely to prevent regressions.

Add tests for the remaining route-count error paths.

  • Return a non-timeout error from the route COUNT(*) query and assert propagation.
  • Cancel the caller context during the route query and assert that fallback does not occur.

Existing tests cover timeout, probe timeout/error, probe reuse, and cancellation during the probe.
