Summary

Spotify now limits Development Mode search requests to 10 results per item type. Cliamp requested 20 results first, then retried with pagination only when Spotify returned an exact 400 Invalid limit response. New personal client IDs could fail at that first request and force users back to the shared, rate-limited client.

This change sends personal client searches directly through 10-result pages with offset, while preserving current shared-client behavior.

What's changed

Personal client search

  • Send /v1/search requests with maximum limit=10.
  • Use offset pagination for larger result sets.
  • Skip initial rejected limit=20 request for personal client IDs.

Development Mode playlist endpoints

  • Add playlist items through POST /playlists/{id}/items.
  • Create playlists through POST /me/playlists.

Testing

  • make check passes (gofmt, vet, and full test suite).
  • Search tests cover 10-result pages, offsets, partial final pages, later-page failures, request parameters, result types, and shared-client single-request behavior.
  • Search verified manually on macOS with personal Spotify Development Mode client ID.

Docs

  • Correct Spotify setup wizard guidance.
  • Correct config.toml.example Development Mode guidance.
  • Update docs/spotify.md to recommend personal client IDs for private search quota.
  • site/index.html already described automatic Development Mode paging.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Spotify search now handles Development Mode limits through pagination, while the shared client retains a single-request path when possible. Playlist operations use updated Spotify endpoints. Setup text and tests reflect the new behavior.

Changes

Spotify API updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Search pagination behavior
external/spotify/provider.go, external/spotify/search_devmode_test.go
SearchTracks uses pagination for personal client IDs and fallback pagination for the shared client. Tests cover request parameters, page limits, errors, and single-request shared-client searches.
Playlist endpoint updates
external/spotify/provider.go
Track additions use /v1/playlists/{id}/items. Playlist creation uses /v1/me/playlists without a user lookup.
Spotify setup documentation
cmd/setup.go, config.toml.example, docs/spotify.md
Documentation describes search quota coverage, automatic pagination, and shared client quota behavior.

No actionable merge-blocking risk remains. The PR updates Spotify Development Mode search pagination while preserving shared-client behavior; a minor configuration-documentation clarification can follow without material production impact.

Use the same shared-client scope as the other setup surfaces.

cmd/setup.go and docs/spotify.md also identify spotify-player and cliamp users in the shared pool. Update this warning so users receive the same scope of the 429 risk.
