 ## Design Patterns
 
-| Pattern | Where Applied |
-|---------|--------------|
-| **MVC (Model–View–Controller)** | Core architecture — models handle data, controllers handle HTTP, services act as the business layer between them |
-| **Service Layer Pattern** | All business logic lives in `src/services/` — controllers never contain logic, only delegation |
-| **Repository Pattern** | All database access is encapsulated in `src/models/` — no raw SQL anywhere else in the codebase |

-      description: |
-        Authenticates a user using Google Sign-In.
-
-        The frontend obtains a Google `id_token` from Google and sends it here.
-
-        The backend verifies the token with Google and then logs in the existing user
-        or creates a new account.
-
-        For first-time Google sign-in:
-        - a new Rythmify account is created
-        - the user's role defaults to `listener`
-        - display_name is auto-filled from Google's given_name. gender and date_of_birth are left as null
-          does not provide all onboarding data
-
-        Frontend flow:
-        - If `is_new_user=false`, the user may proceed normally.
-        - If `is_new_user=true`, the frontend should redirect the user to complete
-          onboarding using `PATCH /users/me/onboarding`.
-
-        Note:
-        - Google authentication verifies identity, but does not guarantee that all
-          required profile fields are already collected.
-        - New Google-created accounts are initialized as `listener` by default.

-        - Accepted formats: MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC. Maximum file size: **100 MB**.

-        - Upload counts against the user's hourly upload limit (20 uploads / hour). On limit breach, the server returns `403`.
+        Subscription limits:
+        - Free users may upload up to 3 tracks.
+        - Premium users have unlimited uploads.

     get:
+      description: |
+        Returns full metadata for a single track by its ID.
+        This endpoint remains public and accepts authentication optionally.
+        When a viewer is authenticated, the response personalizes
+        `is_liked_by_me`, `is_reposted_by_me`, and `is_artist_followed_by_me`
+        for that viewer. Anonymous requests receive `false` for all three fields.
+        Geo-restricted tracks remain visible, but `audio_url`, `stream_url`, `preview_url`,
+        and `waveform_url` may be null with `playback_restriction_reason: region_restricted`.

-        Notes:
-        - Public tracks are accessible to anyone (no auth required).
-        - Private tracks (`is_public: false`) are only accessible to their owner. Unauthenticated requests or requests from non-owners return `403` with `RESOURCE_PRIVATE`.
-        - Admin-hidden tracks (`is_hidden: true`) return `404` for non-owners.
-        - Tracks still in `processing` state are returned with `null` values for `stream_url`, `preview_url`, `waveform_url`, `duration`, and `bitrate`.

-        Called when the user presses play. Performs three operations atomically:
-        1. Checks playability for the requesting user and determines access level.
-        2. Increments the track's `play_count`.
-        3. Inserts a row into `listening_history`.
-
-        Returns the appropriate URL based on access level:
-        - `full` — returns `stream_url` (authenticated user with full access).
-        - `preview` — returns `preview_url` (free-tier or unauthenticated users).
-        - `blocked` — returns `403` with reason code, no URL.
-
-        Notes:
-        - No auth required for public tracks — unauthenticated users receive preview access.
-        - Play count is only incremented once the stream actually starts, not on URL fetch.
-        - If track status is `processing`, returns `202`. If `failed`, returns `503`.
-      operationId: recordPlayEvent

-        Returns the playback access level for the requesting user before they attempt to play.
-        Used by the client to render the correct UI state — full play button, preview badge, or blocked/locked state.
-
-        Access levels:
-        - `full` — user can stream the entire track.
-        - `preview` — user can only play the 30-second preview clip.
-        - `blocked` — user cannot play the track at all (geo-restricted, private, admin-hidden, or account suspended).
-
-        Notes:
-        - Public endpoint — works for unauthenticated users (they receive `preview` access for public tracks).
-        - Does **not** record a play event or increment `play_count`.
-        - Does **not** return a stream URL — call `POST /tracks/:id/play` to get the URL.
+        Returns the playback access level for the requesting user without triggering a play event.

-        on next session or across devices.
+        Persists the authenticated user's current player queue and resume position.
+
+        After saving player state, the backend also performs a best-effort analytics enrichment:
+        it looks for the most recent matching listening-history entry for the same user and track
+        and updates that row's stored progress using the furthest known position reached.
 
         Notes:
-        - Overwrites any previously saved state — this is not append-only.
-        - `queue` is an ordered array of track IDs representing the current play queue.
-        - `position_seconds` is the playback position within the current track.
+        - This endpoint does not create listening-history rows.
+        - If no matching listening-history entry exists, player state still saves successfully.
+        - Backward seeking updates the saved player position, but never reduces stored
+          listening-history progress.
+        - Requests accept legacy queue track UUID-formatted strings and rich queue-item objects.
+        - Responses always return normalized queue-item objects. Track URLs in the response
+          may be null when region-restricted for `X-Country-Code`.

+        High-level summary
+        - Resolves a supported playback context into playable tracks and applies it to the
+          authenticated user's saved player state.
+        - Non-playable tracks are skipped before queue insertion, including blocked,
+          processing, failed, unavailable, private/inaccessible/missing, and geo-blocked
+          tracks for `X-Country-Code`.
+        - If all resolved tracks are skipped, the endpoint returns `404 QUEUE_CONTEXT_EMPTY`.
+        - The returned queue is normalized into queue items with provenance metadata so
+          clients can render both playback ordering and source labels consistently.
+
+        Interaction behavior
+        - `interaction_type=play` starts the resolved context immediately, sets the
+          current track to the first resolved track, creates or replaces the single
+          active play context, preserves all current `next_up` items, and removes the
+          previous `context` bucket.
+        - The active play context is represented by the current `track_id` plus the
+          remaining resolved tracks stored as `queue_bucket=context` items.
+        - Starting a new play context removes only old `queue_bucket=context` items.
+          Items in `queue_bucket=next_up` are preserved even when their `source_type`
+          is `playlist`, `album`, `mix`, `genre`, `liked_tracks`, or another context
+          source.
+        - Re-sending the same loaded play context is idempotent. The backend returns
+          the current player state without duplicating queue items, rebuilding
+          `queue_item_id` values, resetting `position_seconds`, or updating the saved
+          player state row.
+        - `interaction_type=next_up` preserves the current track, appends the resolved
+          items to the end of the `next_up` bucket, and keeps the existing `context`
+          bucket behind them.
+        - Duplicate tracks are allowed and each occurrence gets its own `queue_item_id`.
+
+        Supported source types
+        - `track`: queue one direct track into `next_up` by `source_id`. This source type
+          only supports `interaction_type=next_up`.
+        - `playlist`: resolve tracks from a playlist identified by `source_id`.
+        - `album`: resolve tracks from an album identified by `source_id`.
+        - `mix`: resolve tracks from a mix identified by `source_id`. Mix ids may be
+          non-UUID strings such as `daily:for-you`.
+        - `station`: resolve tracks from a station identified by `source_id`.
+        - `genre`: resolve tracks from a genre identified by `source_id`.
+        - `liked_tracks`: resolve a user's liked tracks. Uses `target_user_id` when
+          provided and otherwise defaults to the authenticated user.
+        - `listening_history`: resolve the authenticated user's listening history.
+          This source is self-only.
+        - `reposts`: resolve a user's reposted tracks. Uses `target_user_id` when
+          provided and otherwise defaults to the authenticated user.
+        - `user_tracks`: resolve tracks uploaded by a user. Uses `target_user_id` when
+          provided and otherwise defaults to the authenticated user.
+
+        Parameter rules
+        - `source_id` is required for `track`, `playlist`, `album`, `mix`, `station`,
+          and `genre`.
+        - `source_id` is usually omitted or `null` for `liked_tracks`,
+          `listening_history`, `reposts`, and `user_tracks`.
+        - For `source_type=track`, `source_id` must be the track UUID to queue.
+        - Do not assume `source_id` is always a UUID. Mix contexts may use string keys.
+        - `target_user_id` is optional for `liked_tracks`, `reposts`, and
+          `user_tracks`, and defaults to the authenticated user when omitted.
+        - `target_user_id` should be omitted or `null` for `track`, `playlist`, `album`,
+          `mix`, `station`, and `genre`.
+        - `listening_history` is self-only. Requesting another user's history through
+          this endpoint is not allowed.
+        - `source_type=track` does not support `interaction_type=play`.
+
+        Response interpretation for FE
+        - `source_type` describes where a returned queue item was resolved from.
+        - `queue_bucket` describes where that queue item now lives in playback ordering:
+          `next_up` or `context`.
+        - These fields are not interchangeable. A `genre` or `playlist` resolved with
+          `interaction_type=next_up` still keeps its real `source_type` while living in
+          `queue_bucket=next_up`.
+        - A direct single-track queue action keeps `source_type=track`. It is not
+          converted into a context source type.
+        - Use `source_type` together with `source_title` for provenance labels.
+        - Use `queue_bucket` for ordering logic and visual grouping in the queue UI.

+        Without authentication, the response is a marketing view with Free, Go+, and Artist Pro.
+        Go+ and Artist Pro both represent the same real backend `premium` plan and share the

+        the premium display variant for the authenticated user's role.
+
+        Plan limits:
+        - Free plan has `track_limit=3`, `playlist_limit=2`, and standard streaming access.
+        - Go+ keeps premium benefits but displays the free upload limit for listener-facing marketing.
+        - Artist Pro displays unlimited uploads with `track_limit=null`.
+        - This demo/testing backend uses a 5-minute premium period, exposed as `duration_minutes=5`.
+        - `duration_days` remains nullable for backward compatibility.

+        Effects:
+        - Marks the transaction `payment_status` as `paid`.
+        - Activates the linked user subscription.
+        - Sets subscription `status` to `active`.
+        - Sets `start_date` and `end_date` to date-time values.
+        - Enables premium entitlements after success.
+        - For demo/testing, premium `end_date` is 5 minutes after `start_date`.
+        - Re-confirming an already paid transaction returns 409.

+  # ==========================================================
+  # Module 3 — Comments & Track Comments (Waveform Flyovers)
+  # ==========================================================
+  # For floating comments displayed during playback (waveform flyovers):
+  # The frontend monitors the current playback position and displays comments
+  # whose track_timestamp is close to that position. Use the new query
+  # parameters (timestamp_from, timestamp_to, sort=timestamp) to load comments
+  # for a specific waveform section efficiently instead of fetching all comments.
+  #
+  # CRITICAL DATABASE REQUIREMENTS:
+  # 1. ALTER TABLE comments ADD COLUMN updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ;
+  #    — Required for PATCH (edit) endpoint to track last modification.
+  #
+  # 2. ALTER TABLE comments ADD COLUMN reply_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0;
+  #    — Denormalized counter (must be kept up-to-date via triggers or app logic).
+  #      Avoids O(n) COUNT subqueries during pagination with thousands of comments.
+  #      Increment on POST /comments/{comment_id}/replies
+  #      Decrement on DELETE reply
+  #
+  # 3. CREATE INDEX ON comments (track_id, "timestamp");
+  #    — Essential for fast waveform timestamp filtering/sorting.
+  #      Queries with sort=timestamp or timestamp_from/timestamp_to will be sequential scans without it.
+  #
+  # 4. Foreign key: parent_comment_id REFERENCES comments(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
+  #    — Required for cascade-delete behavior (DELETE comment deletes all nested replies).
+  #      Alternative: implement cascade logic explicitly in DELETE endpoint handler.
+  # ==========================================================

     get:

-        - Comments
+      description: |
+        Returns paginated top-level comments for the specified track.
+
+        Supports optional filtering by timestamp range and sorting strategies:
+        - `timestamp_from` + `timestamp_to` — Filter comments to a specific waveform time window (in seconds).
+        - `sort` — Change the sort order:
+          - `newest` — Most recent comments first, then by id (default for browsing)
+            SQL: ORDER BY created_at DESC, id DESC
+          - `oldest` — Oldest comments first, then by id
+            SQL: ORDER BY created_at ASC, id ASC
+          - `timestamp` — Ordered by track_timestamp, then created_at, then id (deterministic, useful for waveform flyovers)
+            SQL: ORDER BY track_timestamp ASC, created_at ASC, id ASC
+          - `top` — Most-liked comments first, then by track_timestamp, then by created_at (ideal for highlights view)
+            SQL: ORDER BY like_count DESC, track_timestamp ASC, created_at ASC, id ASC
+
+        **Deterministic sorting:** Pagination is applied after filtering. Ties are ALWAYS broken by created_at (microsecond precision) and then id (UUID), ensuring:
+        - Identical query results across multiple requests
+        - No comment jumping or reordering
+        - Stable pagination (no duplicates or skips)

     Comment:
       type: object
-      description: A single comment with its author and engagement counts.
+      description: |
+        A timestamped comment on a track. Supports nested replies.
+
+        Performance notes:
+        - `reply_count` must be denormalized (stored column, not COUNT subquery) to avoid O(n) lookups during pagination.
+          Backend: Add column `reply_count INTEGER DEFAULT 0`, increment on POST reply, decrement on DELETE reply.
+          Protected against race conditions: uses pg_advisory_xact_lock() for concurrent inserts.
+
+        - `updated_at` column tracks edit timestamps. Must be updated on every PATCH operation.
+
+        - Sorting is always DETERMINISTIC via tie-breaking:
+          ORDER BY [primary_sort_column], created_at ASC, id ASC
+          This ensures identical results across queries (no comment jumping during pagination).
+
+        - Database index REQUIRED for waveform queries: CREATE INDEX ON "comments" ("track_id", "track_timestamp", "created_at", "id")
+          This covers: timestamp filtering, full sorting, zero in-memory sort operations.

+# Development seed migrations
+
+These migrations are intentionally outside the default `migrations/` directory.
+They create or reset demo data for local development and must not run during
+production or staging schema migration.
+
+Run them only against disposable local/dev databases:
+
+```sh
+$env:ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE_DEV_SEED='true'; npm run seed:dev
+```
+
+The `seed:dev` script uses a separate db-migrate history table named
+`dev_seed_migrations` so demo seed state does not mix with schema migration
+state. The wrapper refuses to run unless `ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE_DEV_SEED=true` and
+`DATABASE_URL` points at a local database host.
