feat(lidarr): show only available music in the Library by default

[cweagans]

What changed

Adds a Show available music only setting to Settings > Lidarr (default on) that keeps the Library focused on music you have actually downloaded, instead of every album in each artist's Lidarr discography.

When the setting is on (default), the Library list views only show albums that have downloaded files, and the counts reflect that:

• Albums tab and Album artists tab
• The home Recently added albums shelf
• Artists with zero downloaded albums drop off the Album artists list and its count, so an artist you delete in Lidarr disappears from the Library on the next scan.

When the setting is off, the Library lists each artist's full Lidarr discography (including albums with no files, labelled 0/10 available) — the previous behavior.

The filter applies to the Library list views only. Album and artist detail pages still show full tracklists, and the search / request / monitor workflows are unchanged, so you can still find and request unmonitored or undownloaded albums.

Implementation

The backend already supported an availableOnly filter on GET /library/canonical (it maps to a media.available = 1 predicate and is reflected in the page total). The bug was that the Library list views hardcoded the filter off. This PR makes the filter setting-driven and backend-authoritative:

• backend/routes/library/handlers/canonical.js — new exported resolveCanonicalAvailableOnly(queryValue, settings): an explicit availableOnly query param still wins (so detail/track views can force a value); otherwise the endpoint falls back to integrations.lidarr.availableOnly, defaulting to on when unset. Reads settings via the existing 60s-cached dbOps.getSettings().
• backend/config/constants.js — adds availableOnly: true to the Lidarr integration defaults.
• frontend/src/utils/api/endpoints/library.js — the canonical page-params builder is now tri-state: an explicit boolean serializes to "true"/"false", while undefined omits the param so the backend applies the setting.
• frontend/src/pages/LibraryPage.jsx — the Albums/Artists tabs and the home "Recently added" albums shelf omit availableOnly (defer to the setting); the Tracks list, album/artist detail views, and the album-tracklist helper keep their explicit values so tracklists and detail pages are unaffected.
• frontend/src/pages/FlowPage.jsx — the two by-name library lookups used for navigation pass an explicit availableOnly: false (they must resolve regardless of availability); no behavior change.
• Settings UI — a PillToggle in LidarrSettingsModalContent.jsx, its default in Settings/utils.js (normalizeSettings), and a matching entry in the settings search index (settingsTabsConfig.js, required by the existing settings-search test).
• frontend/src/pages/Settings/hooks/useSettingsData.js — invalidates the Library query caches on settings save, so toggling the setting takes effect on the next Library view instead of serving a stale page (the Library query key does not include this setting).
• Docs — docs/src/content/docs/integrations/lidarr.mdx documents the toggle and its effect.
• Tests — see Testing.

Why

With Lidarr connected, the Library listed each artist's entire Lidarr discography, including albums with no files, and the library counts reflected the whole catalog — so a user who owns a few albums by an artist saw the full 10+ album discography sitting in their Library as "0/10 available," and deleted-in-Lidarr artists lingered. There was no way to filter to owned music, even though the backend already supported it.

This is exactly the feature requested in #766 ("a 'show available only' toggle on the Library, ideally defaulting to on"). Because artists with zero available albums also drop out of the list and its count, it resolves the confusing album-artist count in #750 as well.

(#766 is the feature request that describes this exact toggle. Per the template, linked issues stay open until a stable release includes the change.)

UI changes

Adds one toggle to Settings > Lidarr, directly below Search on add:

Show available music only   [ ●] (on by default)
Hide albums and artists with no downloaded files from the Library. You can still search for and request unmonitored albums. Turn off to browse each artist's full Lidarr discography.

Testing

Ran on the available toolchain (Node 25; CI uses Node 22.23.2):

• npm test — backend library suite (131/131) and settings/subsonic/lidarr suites (39/39) pass, including two new tests:
  • .tests/library/canonical-available-only-setting.test.js — resolveCanonicalAvailableOnly tri-state logic (param override, setting fallback, default-on for missing/partial settings).
  • .tests/library/canonical-available-only-route.test.js — route-level, end-to-end: a partially-owned artist lists only owned albums (and count) when on / the full catalog when off; artists with zero available albums disappear when on ([Bug]: Aurral reports all entries in lidarr as partially downloaded even when unmonitored #750); an explicit query param overrides the setting.
  • Updated .tests/library/canonical-favorites-routes.test.js and .tests/frontend/library-query-invalidation.test.js to reflect the new setting-driven default and tri-state query key.
• npm run lint — clean (backend + frontend).
• npm run build (frontend) — succeeds.
• cd docs && npm run build — succeeds (docs are a CI gate).

Note: a handful of pre-existing .tests/frontend/* tests fail locally with storage.getItem is not a function under Node 25; they fail identically on main without this change (an environment issue with the non-pinned Node version), so they are unrelated. CI on Node 22.23.2 should be green.

QA notes for reviewers

• No regression for non-Lidarr users. Only the lidarr and aurral (local scan) sources ever write library_media_files rows, and neither marks existing music available = 0 (a row only goes unavailable when the file is genuinely gone). Navidrome/Plex/Subsonic/Jellyfin write no media rows. So defaulting availableOnly on hides nothing for local-scan-only or other-source-only libraries; it is only meaningful where Lidarr reports undownloaded albums.
• Request workflow intact. An artist's full discography for requesting comes from MusicBrainz metadata (GET /artists/:mbid), and requests/monitoring go through POST /library/albums/request and PUT /library/albums/:id — none of which are touched by the canonical availability filter.
• Upgrade note. The default is on (as requested in [Bug]: Library lists the full Lidarr discography (unavailable albums) with no way to show only owned music #766), so after upgrading, existing users' Libraries will hide undownloaded albums. Turning the setting off restores the previous behavior.

Considered but intentionally out of scope

To keep the change focused, these related surfaces were left alone (happy to split follow-ups if wanted):

• The Discover page's "Recently Added" rail (GET /library/recent) is a separate, non-canonical discovery endpoint that can still list a lingering artist. Neither linked issue names it, and filtering it would pull in the discovery subsystem.
• The per-artist library shelf on the standalone artist page (GET /library/albums?artistId=…) intentionally shows album completion/download status for managing that artist.

Release impact

• Major: incompatible change
• Minor: backward-compatible feature
• Patch: backward-compatible fix
• None: documentation, CI, tests, or internal-only change

AI disclosure: this PR was investigated and fixed by Claude. I tested the resulting fix in my environment and it worked as expected.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a Lidarr setting for available-only library content. The backend resolves the setting and query overrides. Frontend library views, navigation, settings, cache invalidation, documentation, and route tests now use the new behavior.

Changes

Available-only library filtering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Backend setting resolution backend/config/constants.js, backend/routes/library/handlers/canonical.js, .tests/library/canonical-available-only-setting.test.js	Adds the default Lidarr setting and resolves explicit query values before the stored setting. Missing settings default to true.
Frontend setting and query integration frontend/src/pages/Settings/..., frontend/src/utils/api/endpoints/library.js, frontend/src/pages/LibraryPage.jsx, frontend/src/pages/FlowPage.jsx, docs/src/content/docs/integrations/lidarr.mdx	Adds the setting toggle and documentation. Library queries defer to the setting where appropriate, while track and navigation lookups can request unavailable entries.
Route behavior validation .tests/library/canonical-available-only-route.test.js, .tests/library/canonical-favorites-routes.test.js, .tests/frontend/library-query-invalidation.test.js	Tests default and disabled filtering, artist visibility, explicit query overrides, pagination queries, and canonical query cancellation behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e6052

Artists without downloaded media can be found but their detail pages fail to open. The impact is bounded and the fix is localized.
