Avoid re-triggering a USER_BLOCKED account by capping Qobuz to a human-looking
volume and cadence. A per-album gate (worker/lyra_worker/qobuz_gate.py) allows
Qobuz only within active hours, under today's cap (a warm-up ramp of a steady
cap), and past a randomized spacing since the last Qobuz download; the gap spreads
the day's budget across active hours with jitter. When the gate is closed the
pipeline drops Qobuz candidates so the job falls through to another source (and
monitored albums upgrade to Qobuz later); a Qobuz-only setup is never gated.
Config keys read live each loop; counters reset at the day boundary via the DB
clock. Tunable in Settings -> Qobuz -> Pacing (new /api/qobuz/pacing route).

Design for collapsing the Artists|Albums tabs into one artist-centric row,
surfacing each similar artist's newest AND most-popular (Last.fm) album inline,
album-click → AlbumModal tracklist, artist name → full page (drop the Discover
ArtistModal). Approved design; implementation plan next.

Design language + Phase 1 plan (design system + app shell + home page).
Comp signed off. Liner Notes / record-label identity, chrome-only
metaphor, manila+spruce palette, Fraunces/mono, state-as-form.

Follow-up to slice 3: a read-only artist preview page keyed by MBID, reachable from
suggested artists, suggested albums, and Find-similar results. Shows discography,
lazy per-album tracklists, own-state badges; Follow (reuse /api/artists) + Want
(new /api/discover/want upsert). Web-side MB reads only, no worker changes.

Spotify similarity/new-release APIs are dead for new apps (Nov 2024 + Feb 2026),
so discovery is built on ListenBrainz similar-artists (MBID-native) behind a
pluggable SimilaritySource interface. Manual review feed of similar artists +
albums; Follow/Want reuse slice-2 operations, Dismiss is permanent. Off by default.
