Enhance CONTRIBUTING.md with media processing features guidance #2962
Conversation
This commit updates the CONTRIBUTING.md file to provide clearer instructions on building the project with media processing features. It introduces convenient cargo aliases for building with `ffmpeg` and `heif` features enabled, and emphasizes the importance of these features for development. Additionally, it includes notes on the implications of building without these features and how to resolve related issues. The changes aim to improve the onboarding experience for new contributors.

The #[cfg(feature = "ffmpeg")] attribute on generate_thumbstrip_for_file means this function won't exist when the feature is disabled. The old code had a fallback #[cfg(not(feature = "ffmpeg"))] version that returned an error, which was removed. This could lead to compile errors if any code outside the action handler tries to call this function without the feature flag.
Consider either keeping the fallback stub or ensuring all call sites are also feature-gated.

There's duplicated error handling logic across the three media feature buttons (transcription, thumbnail, thumbstrip). Consider extracting this into a helper function:
| title: "Transcription Failed", | |
| // Check if it's a feature-disabled error | |
| const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error); | |
| handleMediaFeatureError(errorMessage, "Speech-to-text", "Transcription Failed"); |
Then define a helper at the top of the file or in a shared utility.

The relaxed assertion logic here silently passes when no nested files exist. While the comment explains the reasoning, this could mask test regressions where nested files should exist but don't. Consider logging a more prominent message or adding a separate assertion to verify the test fixture contains expected data.

Removing volume_id fallback breaks location indexing
High Severity
The change removes the unwrap_or(device_id) fallback for locations without volume_id set, replacing it with an error. However, all locations are created with volume_id: Set(None) (see create_location() at lines 258 and 196 in location/mod.rs), and no production code sets volume_id before indexing. The migration explicitly notes "No backfill - volume_id will be resolved lazily at runtime" - the unwrap_or(device_id) WAS the lazy resolution. The test file was patched to manually set volume_id before indexing (lines 109-128), masking this bug. In production, all location indexing will fail with "Location has no volume_id - volume must be detected before change detection".
🔬 Verification Test
Why verification test was not possible: This bug affects the integration between location creation and indexing, which requires a full database setup, library initialization, and job system. The test file modifications in the diff demonstrate the workaround needed (manually setting volume_id on locations before indexing), confirming the production code path is broken. The evidence is:
create_location()always setsvolume_id: Set(None)(line 258 in location/mod.rs)- No code exists that sets
volume_idon locations before indexing starts - The test had to add manual
update_many()calls to setvolume_id(lines 109-128 in sync_backfill_test.rs) - The old code used
unwrap_or(device_id)as the "lazy resolution" mentioned in migration comments, which has been removed

This commit modifies the cargo aliases in the configuration file to include specific features for the `sd-daemon` and `sd-cli` packages. Additionally, it introduces a new function for generating thumbstrips that returns an error when the `ffmpeg` feature is not enabled, improving error handling and clarity for users attempting to generate thumbstrips without the necessary features.
