Closes the gap the third-pass audit identified as the last place where the v2 API promises more than it holds, plus the three smaller items listed beside it.

Every claim was verified against d4f08b9 first. user.scopes was read at exactly one place in the whole codebase — src/http.rs:2193, inside require_admin. catalog_snapshot had zero production callers and fourteen test sites. The native random/songs-by-genre adapters were absent. All confirmed.

Scopes held at one door, not the building

#119 made scopes real on the administrative routes. Everywhere else they stayed decorative, so a catalog:read token could still create and delete playlists and shares, write bookmarks, save the queue, scrobble, and set favorites and ratings. The worst case was closed; the principle was not.

The check moves to where the caller is resolved. authenticated now takes an Access and every one of the fifty-two call sites states what its route needs:

enum Access { Read, Write, Admin }

let user = authenticated(&state, &headers, Access::Write).await?;

That is the point of a parameter rather than a second helper a handler may forget: a route cannot be written without answering, because the compiler asks. require_admin is gone — both halves of administrative authority, the role and the scope, now live in one place and cannot be applied apart.

The vocabulary is two names, and unknown names grant nothing

Scope Admits
write any mutation — playlists, favorites, ratings, queue, bookmarks, shares, scrobbles, scans, issuing an OAuth code
admin the administrative routes, and everything write admits

Reading needs no scope, so a token naming neither is read-only. A name the server does not know grants nothing, which is why catalog:read reads and does no more — there is no vocabulary to enumerate, only these two names to use.

admin implies write deliberately: a credential trusted to create accounts is not usefully barred from creating a playlist, and the surprise would run the other way.

An empty list stays unrestricted. That is what sessions, OAuth grants, tokens issued by the CLI and every token created before #119 carry, so nothing that works today stops working.

Issuance stays administrative, now on purpose

An account cannot mint a token for itself. A token carries the authority of the account it belongs to, so who may create one is a question about the instance rather than about the account — and the answer is now the same from the CLI and the API by decision rather than by inheritance.

Three gaps alongside

GET /api/v2/songs and GET /api/v2/songs/random are the native forms of getSongsByGenre and getRandomSongs. Both services already existed; only the HTTP adapter was missing, which was the last discovery asymmetry between the two surfaces. genre is required on the first: answering with an unfiltered catalogue would drop the filter in silence. Both match the genre canonically, like every other genre filter.

GET /api/v2/search accepts artist_offset, album_offset and song_offset beside the shared offset, so a client that has exhausted one kind can page another. search3 has always allowed this; the native surface had a single offset.

catalog_snapshot says what it is. No route calls it; it survives as a test fixture, and its doc comment now warns off the shape that made one album page read a tenant's whole catalogue.

Not changed: getLicense's 2099-12-31 expiry. On a self-hosted server with no licensing, a far-future date is the conventional way to say "no limit", and clients read it as such.

Tests

native_bookmarks_and_api_tokens_round_trip gains the enforcement: a catalog:read token is refused a bookmark write with 403 and still reads bookmarks, so the refusal belongs to the mutation and not to the token; a write token performs the same mutation and is refused /api/v2/admin/users, so the two levels are separate and admin implies write and not the reverse.

genre_matching_is_canonical_on_every_surface gains the native routes: any spelling of the genre reaches the same three tracks through /api/v2/songs and /api/v2/songs/random, the year filter narrows, an unused genre is empty rather than an error, a missing genre is refused, and search?song_offset= pages songs past the end while the albums beside them stay.

34/34 integration tests, cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings. database::tests::migrate_accepts_checksums_from_legacy_windows_line_endings fails identically on main — a CRLF checkout artifact of the development machine, untouched.

The remaining risk is not in the code

docs/subsonic-compatibility.md records five batches of wire changes since the last real client validation (Symfonium 2026-08-09, DSub and Juliet 2026-08-15). Each is justified; none has been replayed against a real client. That is now the first risk of the project, ahead of everything in this pull request, and re-running those five rows remains the only gate before a tag.

The previous release made scopes real on the administrative routes and
left them decorative everywhere else. `user.scopes` was read in exactly
one place, so a `catalog:read` token could still create and delete
playlists and shares, write bookmarks, save the queue, scrobble, and set
favorites and ratings. The worst case was closed and the principle was
not.

The check moves to where the caller is resolved. `authenticated` now
takes an `Access` — `Read`, `Write` or `Admin` — and every one of the
fifty-two call sites states what its route needs. That is the point of a
parameter rather than a second helper: a route cannot be written without
answering, because the compiler asks. `require_admin` is gone; both
halves of administrative authority, the role and the scope, now live in
one place and cannot be applied apart.

Two scope names are checked. `write` admits any mutation, `admin` admits
the instance and implies `write` — a credential trusted to create
accounts is not usefully barred from creating a playlist, and the
surprise would run the other way. Reading needs nothing, so a token
naming neither is read-only, and **a name the server does not know grants
nothing**: `catalog:read` reads and does no more without anyone
enumerating a vocabulary. An empty list stays unrestricted, which is what
sessions, OAuth grants and existing tokens carry, so nothing that works
today stops working.

Issuing a token stays administrative, now deliberately rather than by
inheritance from the CLI: a token carries the authority of the account it
belongs to, so who may mint one is a question about the instance.

Three gaps the audit listed alongside it. `GET /api/v2/songs` and
`/api/v2/songs/random` are the native forms of `getSongsByGenre` and
`getRandomSongs`, whose services existed with no adapter; `genre` is
required on the first, because answering with an unfiltered catalogue
would drop the filter in silence. `GET /api/v2/search` accepts
`artist_offset`, `album_offset` and `song_offset` beside the shared
`offset`, so a client that has exhausted one kind can page another —
which `search3` has always allowed. And `catalog_snapshot`, which no
route calls any more, says so: it survives as a test fixture, and its
doc comment now warns off the shape that made one album page read a
tenant's whole catalogue.

Changes

API de recherche et chansons

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recherche par genre, chansons aléatoires et pagination
src/http.rs, src/services.rs, src/lib.rs, tests/v2_foundations.rs, docs/api-v2-guide.md
Les routes /api/v2/songs et /api/v2/songs/random sont ajoutées. La recherche utilise des pages séparées pour les artistes, albums et chansons. Les filtres de genre et d’année sont testés et documentés.

Autorisation par scopes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Contrôle Read, Write et Admin
src/http.rs, src/media.rs, tests/v2_foundations.rs, docs/api-v2-guide.md, docs/rfcs/RFC-002-waveflow-server-v2.md
Les handlers authentifiés déclarent un niveau Access. Les scopes write et admin contrôlent les mutations. Le niveau Admin exige un compte administrateur et inclut Write. Les routes média utilisent le contrôle Bearer partagé. Les comportements des scopes sont documentés et testés.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 002ad

The new genre-based songs endpoint rejects requests without the required genre parameter, but its API contract does not declare the resulting 400 response. This is a bounded integration risk for generated clients and should receive owner follow-up before or alongside merge.

Comment thread docs/api-v2-guide.md Outdated
…door

Three review points, one of them a defect I had reported clean.

**The encoding sweep was wrong, not the file.** Four en-dashes in
docs/api-v2-guide.md were double-encoded by the same scripted edit that
damaged the em-dashes, and my check did not see them: it looked for `Ã`
and `Â`, which is the signature of a doubled two-byte character, while a
dash is three bytes and doubles to `â` followed by two `Â`. I had
reported the tree clean on a check that could not have found this. The
repair is generic — any `C3 A2 C2 xx C2 yy` back to `E2 xx yy` — and the
sweep now covers all three signatures across src, tests, docs and
migrations. `43â128` reads `43–128` again.

**Three media handlers authenticated outside the door.** `artwork`,
`create_stream_ticket` and `stream_track` each extracted the header and
called the authenticator themselves, so they sat outside the one place
scopes are checked. They are reads, so nothing they grant changes; what
changes is that a mutation added there cannot quietly skip the check,
which is precisely how the scope list came to be stored and never read.
`Access` and `authenticated` become `pub(crate)`, the triplicated header
parsing collapses into one helper, and `/api/v2/stream/{ticket}` stays
out of it because its credential is the sealed ticket in the path.

**`GET /api/v2/songs` documents its 400.** A missing `genre` is rejected
by axum before the handler runs, and the annotation listed only 200, 401
and 422. `search_catalog` has the same omission for its required `q`; it
predates this branch and is left alone.

Not applied: requiring an explicit read scope on `Access::Read`. Reading
needs no scope by design — a name the server does not know grants
nothing, which is what lets `catalog:read` read without anyone
enumerating a vocabulary. Requiring a literal `read` would strand every
token already issued, including the documented example, and would make an
empty list and a scoped list differ in kind rather than in breadth. A
test now pins it: a `catalog:read` token still mints a stream ticket,
and an unauthenticated request still cannot.
