Worked on LMS-Community/slimserver to implement a stop-gap data integrity safeguard addressing contributor MBID and artist name mismatches. Using Perl, the solution introduced defensive logic in the data pipeline to drop ambiguous MBIDs when the number of artist names and MBIDs did not align, thereby preventing incorrect contributor data bindings and preserving database quality. The change was localized to the Slim::Schema::Contributor::add method, with clear documentation for affected libraries requiring cache wipes. This approach emphasized data validation and database management while laying the groundwork for a comprehensive fix aligned with Picard tagging conventions and future schema improvements.
April 2026: Implemented a stop-gap Data Integrity Safeguard for Contributor MBIDs in LMS-Community/slimserver to prevent MBID/name mismatches from corrupting contributor data. This defensive fix drops ambiguous MBIDs when the number of artist names and MBIDs do not align, preventing incorrect bindings and preserving data quality while groundwork for a full-resolution solution (addressing issue #1555). The change is localized to Slim::Schema::Contributor::add and includes notes for affected libraries needing a wipecache.
