# Auto-Tuning PR1 (Backend) Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Ship the backend for #69 auto-tuning — three REST endpoints that enumerate library metadata, preview proposed channels, and bulk-create them — reusing the #63 composite-create primitive and Smart Collections.
**Architecture:** CQRS/MediatR. A read `PreviewAutoTuneChannels` query enumerates distinct axis values (TV Show / TV Genre / Movie Genre) with exact EF counts and returns proposed channels (name, allocated number, item count, already-exists flag) with no writes. A `CreateAutoTunedChannels` command orchestrates, per selected proposal: create a SmartCollection (server-generated Lucene query) → call the existing `CreateChannelFromLineup` handler via `ISender` → aggregate a per-channel Created/Skipped/Failed outcome. Two thin controller actions on `ChannelController` map DTOs to commands.
**Tech Stack:** C# / .NET 10, MediatR, EF Core (SQLite default), LanguageExt (`Either`/`Option`), NUnit + Shouldly + NSubstitute.
**Worktree:** All work happens in `/Users/timothy/ersatztv/.claude/worktrees/69-auto-tuning` on branch `feat/69-auto-tuning`. Reference spec: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-16-auto-tuning-design.md`.
## Global Constraints
- **Read first:** `docs/README.md``docs/api-conventions.md` (controller/DTO/error patterns), `docs/testing.md` (NUnit harness). Do not re-derive conventions from source.
- **Test framework is NUnit + Shouldly + NSubstitute.** Never xUnit. Handler tests live in `ErsatzTV.Tests/`; the in-memory DB harness is `ErsatzTV.Tests/Support/InMemoryTvContext.cs`.
- **LanguageExt everywhere:** handlers return `Either<BaseError, T>` (or plain results). Use `BaseError.New("msg")` / `NotFoundError`. Iterate `Either` via `.LeftToSeq()` / `.RightToSeq()` or `.Match(...)`.
- **`Channel.Number` is a `string`** validated by regex `^[0-9]+(\.[0-9]{1,2})?$`; **uniqueness is enforced inside `CreateChannelFromLineupHandler`** (returns `BaseError.New("Channel number must be unique")`). **Channel name must be non-empty and ≤ 50 chars. Channel `Group` is REQUIRED (non-empty).**
- **A SmartCollection lineup item** for `CreateChannelFromLineup` uses exactly: `MediaType = LibraryBrowseMediaType.SmartCollection`, `CollectionType = CollectionType.SmartCollection`, `SmartCollectionId = <id>`, all other ids null.
- **Central Package Management:** no new packages needed. Never add `Version=` to a `<PackageReference>`.
- **No DI edits:** MediatR auto-scans the `ErsatzTV.Application` assembly; new handlers register automatically.
- **Worktree hooks:** commit with `git commit --no-verify` (the pre-commit `dotnet format`/lint-staged reverts BOMs mid-hook; pre-push eslint isn't on PATH). After each task verify manually: `dotnet build`, `dotnet test`, and `dotnet format whitespace <project>` on your touched files only (de-BOM touched files → `charset=utf-8`, per the #311 formatting gate). Keep the branch current by **rebasing** on `origin/main`, never merging main in.
- **Deviation from spec (planning refinement):** the preview request drops `templateId` (preview does not create, so it does not need a template). `templateId` stays on the create request only. Update the spec's preview-request shape in Task 7's doc pass.

### Task 1: `AutoTuneAxis` enum + `AutoTuneAxisMap` pure helper
**Files:**
- Create: `ErsatzTV.Core/Domain/AutoTuneAxis.cs`
- Create: `ErsatzTV.Application/Channels/AutoTuneAxisMap.cs`
- Test: `ErsatzTV.Tests/Application/Channels/AutoTuneAxisMapTests.cs`
**Interfaces:**
- Produces: `enum AutoTuneAxis { TvShow, TvGenre, MovieGenre }`; `static AutoTuneAxisMap.GenerateQuery(AutoTuneAxis, string) : string`, `GenerateName(AutoTuneAxis, string) : string`, `PlaybackOrderFor(AutoTuneAxis) : PlaybackOrder`, `EscapeLuceneValue(string) : string`.
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
`ErsatzTV.Tests/Application/Channels/AutoTuneAxisMapTests.cs`:
```csharp
using ErsatzTV.Application.Channels;
using ErsatzTV.Core.Domain;
using NUnit.Framework;
using Shouldly;
namespace ErsatzTV.Tests.Application.Channels;
[TestFixture]
public class AutoTuneAxisMapTests
{
[Test]
public void GenerateQuery_Builds_Expected_Lucene()
{
AutoTuneAxisMap.GenerateQuery(AutoTuneAxis.TvShow, "The Office")
.ShouldBe("type:episode AND show_title:\"The Office\"");
AutoTuneAxisMap.GenerateQuery(AutoTuneAxis.TvGenre, "Comedy")
.ShouldBe("type:episode AND genre:\"Comedy\"");
AutoTuneAxisMap.GenerateQuery(AutoTuneAxis.MovieGenre, "Action")
.ShouldBe("type:movie AND genre:\"Action\"");
}
[Test]
public void GenerateQuery_Escapes_Quotes_And_Backslashes()
{
AutoTuneAxisMap.GenerateQuery(AutoTuneAxis.TvShow, "Bob\"s \\Show")
.ShouldBe("type:episode AND show_title:\"Bob\\\"s \\\\Show\"");
}
[Test]
public void GenerateName_Suffixes_Movie_Genres_Only()
{
AutoTuneAxisMap.GenerateName(AutoTuneAxis.TvShow, "The Office").ShouldBe("The Office");
AutoTuneAxisMap.GenerateName(AutoTuneAxis.TvGenre, "Comedy").ShouldBe("Comedy");
AutoTuneAxisMap.GenerateName(AutoTuneAxis.MovieGenre, "Action").ShouldBe("Action Movies");
}
[Test]
public void PlaybackOrderFor_Uses_PseudoTV_Defaults()
{
AutoTuneAxisMap.PlaybackOrderFor(AutoTuneAxis.TvShow).ShouldBe(PlaybackOrder.SeasonEpisode);
AutoTuneAxisMap.PlaybackOrderFor(AutoTuneAxis.TvGenre).ShouldBe(PlaybackOrder.Shuffle);
AutoTuneAxisMap.PlaybackOrderFor(AutoTuneAxis.MovieGenre).ShouldBe(PlaybackOrder.Shuffle);
}
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
Run: `dotnet test ErsatzTV.Tests --filter FullyQualifiedName~AutoTuneAxisMapTests`
Expected: FAIL — `AutoTuneAxis` / `AutoTuneAxisMap` do not exist (compile error).
- [ ] **Step 3: Write the enum**
`ErsatzTV.Core/Domain/AutoTuneAxis.cs`:
```csharp
namespace ErsatzTV.Core.Domain;
public enum AutoTuneAxis
{
TvShow = 0,
TvGenre = 1,
MovieGenre = 2
}
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Write the helper**
`ErsatzTV.Application/Channels/AutoTuneAxisMap.cs`:
```csharp
using ErsatzTV.Core.Domain;
namespace ErsatzTV.Application.Channels;
public static class AutoTuneAxisMap
{
// Server-owned Lucene smart-collection query for an axis value.
public static string GenerateQuery(AutoTuneAxis axis, string value)
{
string escaped = EscapeLuceneValue(value);
return axis switch
{
AutoTuneAxis.TvShow => $"type:episode AND show_title:\"{escaped}\"",
AutoTuneAxis.TvGenre => $"type:episode AND genre:\"{escaped}\"",
AutoTuneAxis.MovieGenre => $"type:movie AND genre:\"{escaped}\"",
_ => throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(axis), axis, null)
};
}
// Human-facing channel name. Movie-genre channels are suffixed so a genre that exists for
// both TV and movies ("Comedy" vs "Comedy Movies") does not produce two identically-named channels.
public static string GenerateName(AutoTuneAxis axis, string value) =>
axis switch
{
AutoTuneAxis.TvShow => value,
AutoTuneAxis.TvGenre => value,
AutoTuneAxis.MovieGenre => $"{value} Movies",
_ => throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(axis), axis, null)
};
// PseudoTV per-type defaults: single-show channels play in episode order; genre channels shuffle.
public static PlaybackOrder PlaybackOrderFor(AutoTuneAxis axis) =>
axis switch
{
AutoTuneAxis.TvShow => PlaybackOrder.SeasonEpisode,
AutoTuneAxis.TvGenre => PlaybackOrder.Shuffle,
AutoTuneAxis.MovieGenre => PlaybackOrder.Shuffle,
_ => throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(axis), axis, null)
};
// Escape a value for a Lucene double-quoted phrase: backslash first, then double-quote.
public static string EscapeLuceneValue(string value) =>
(value ?? string.Empty).Replace("\\", "\\\\").Replace("\"", "\\\"");
}
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Run test to verify it passes**
Run: `dotnet test ErsatzTV.Tests --filter FullyQualifiedName~AutoTuneAxisMapTests`
Expected: PASS (4 tests).
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add ErsatzTV.Core/Domain/AutoTuneAxis.cs ErsatzTV.Application/Channels/AutoTuneAxisMap.cs ErsatzTV.Tests/Application/Channels/AutoTuneAxisMapTests.cs
git commit --no-verify -m "feat(69): auto-tune axis map (query/name/order/escape)

### Task 2: `AutoTuneNumberAllocator` pure helper
**Files:**
- Create: `ErsatzTV.Application/Channels/AutoTuneNumberAllocator.cs`
- Test: `ErsatzTV.Tests/Application/Channels/AutoTuneNumberAllocatorTests.cs`
**Interfaces:**
- Produces: `static AutoTuneNumberAllocator.Allocate(int startingNumber, int count, ISet<string> existingNumbers) : List<string>``count` sequential integer numbers from `startingNumber`, skipping any string already in `existingNumbers`.
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
`ErsatzTV.Tests/Application/Channels/AutoTuneNumberAllocatorTests.cs`:
```csharp
using System.Collections.Generic;
using ErsatzTV.Application.Channels;
using NUnit.Framework;
using Shouldly;
namespace ErsatzTV.Tests.Application.Channels;
[TestFixture]
public class AutoTuneNumberAllocatorTests
{

{
var existing = new HashSet<string> { "500", "502" };
List<string> result = AutoTuneNumberAllocator.Allocate(500, 3, existing);

}
[Test]
public void Allocate_Zero_Count_Is_Empty()
{
AutoTuneNumberAllocator.Allocate(500, 0, new HashSet<string>()).ShouldBeEmpty();
}
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
Run: `dotnet test ErsatzTV.Tests --filter FullyQualifiedName~AutoTuneNumberAllocatorTests`
Expected: FAIL — `AutoTuneNumberAllocator` does not exist.
- [ ] **Step 3: Write the implementation**
`ErsatzTV.Application/Channels/AutoTuneNumberAllocator.cs`:
```csharp
using System.Globalization;
namespace ErsatzTV.Application.Channels;
public static class AutoTuneNumberAllocator
{
// Allocate `count` sequential integer channel numbers starting at `startingNumber`,
// skipping any number already present in `existingNumbers`. Channel.Number is a string,
// so numbers are returned as invariant-culture strings.
public static List<string> Allocate(int startingNumber, int count, ISet<string> existingNumbers)
{
var result = new List<string>(count);
int next = startingNumber;
while (result.Count < count)
{
string candidate = next.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
if (!existingNumbers.Contains(candidate))

> If the SQLite provider cannot translate `.SelectMany(m => m.Genres).GroupBy(...)` (the test in Step 5 is the check), replace the genre enumerators' first line with a materialize-then-group form: `var names = await dbContext.EpisodeMetadata.AsNoTracking().SelectMany(m => m.Genres.Select(g => g.Name)).ToListAsync(ct);` then `var counts = names.GroupBy(n => n).Select(g => new { Name = g.Key, Count = g.Count() }).ToList();`. Prefer the DB-side form; only fall back if the test surfaces a translation error.

### Task 4: Bulk-create command + handler (orchestration via ISender)
**Files:**
- Create: `ErsatzTV.Application/Channels/CreateAutoTunedChannels.cs` (command + selection + result + outcome + status enum)
- Create: `ErsatzTV.Application/Channels/CreateAutoTunedChannelsHandler.cs`
- Test: `ErsatzTV.Tests/Application/Channels/CreateAutoTunedChannelsHandlerTests.cs`
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `AutoTuneAxisMap` (Task 1); the existing `CreateSmartCollection(string Query, string Name) : IRequest<Either<BaseError, SmartCollectionViewModel>>` (namespace `ErsatzTV.Application.MediaCollections`; `SmartCollectionViewModel(int Id, string Name, string Query)`) and `CreateChannelFromLineup(...) : IRequest<Either<BaseError, CreateChannelFromLineupResponseModel>>` (namespace `ErsatzTV.Application.Channels`), sent via `ISender`.
- Produces: `record CreateAutoTunedChannels(int TemplateId, string Group, List<AutoTuneChannelSelection> Channels) : IRequest<AutoTuneResult>`; `record AutoTuneChannelSelection(AutoTuneAxis Axis, string Value, string Name, string Number)`; `record AutoTuneResult(List<AutoTuneChannelOutcome> Results)` with computed `CreatedCount/SkippedCount/FailedCount`; `record AutoTuneChannelOutcome(string Name, AutoTuneOutcomeStatus Status, int?

- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
Run: `dotnet test ErsatzTV.Tests --filter FullyQualifiedName~CreateAutoTunedChannelsHandlerTests`
Expected: FAIL — types do not exist.
- [ ] **Step 3: Write the command + result records**
`ErsatzTV.Application/Channels/CreateAutoTunedChannels.cs`:
```csharp
using ErsatzTV.Core.Domain;
using MediatR;
namespace ErsatzTV.Application.Channels;
public record CreateAutoTunedChannels(
int TemplateId,
string Group,
List<AutoTuneChannelSelection> Channels) : IRequest<AutoTuneResult>;
public record AutoTuneChannelSelection(
AutoTuneAxis Axis,
string Value,
string Name,
string Number);
public record AutoTuneResult(List<AutoTuneChannelOutcome> Results)
{
public int CreatedCount => Results.Count(r => r.Status == AutoTuneOutcomeStatus.Created);
public int SkippedCount => Results.Count(r => r.Status == AutoTuneOutcomeStatus.Skipped);
public int FailedCount => Results.Count(r => r.Status == AutoTuneOutcomeStatus.Failed);
}
public record AutoTuneChannelOutcome(
string Name,
AutoTuneOutcomeStatus Status,
int? ChannelId,
string Reason);
public enum AutoTuneOutcomeStatus
{
Created,
Skipped,
Failed
}
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Write the handler**
`ErsatzTV.Application/Channels/CreateAutoTunedChannelsHandler.cs`:
```csharp
using ErsatzTV.Application.MediaCollections;
using ErsatzTV.Core;
using ErsatzTV.Core.Api.Channels;
using ErsatzTV.Core.Api.LibraryBrowse;
using ErsatzTV.Core.Domain;
using LanguageExt;
using MediatR;
namespace ErsatzTV.Application.Channels;
public class CreateAutoTunedChannelsHandler(ISender mediator)
: IRequestHandler<CreateAutoTunedChannels, AutoTuneResult>
{
private const string NumberTakenError = "Channel number must be unique";
private const string DefaultGroup = "Auto-Tuned";
public async Task<AutoTuneResult> Handle(
CreateAutoTunedChannels request,
CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
string group = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(request.Group) ? DefaultGroup : request.Group.Trim();
var outcomes = new List<AutoTuneChannelOutcome>();
foreach (AutoTuneChannelSelection selection in request.Channels ?? [])
{
outcomes.Add(await CreateOne(request.TemplateId, group, selection, cancellationToken));
}
return new AutoTuneResult(outcomes);
}
private async Task<AutoTuneChannelOutcome> CreateOne(
int templateId,
string group,
AutoTuneChannelSelection selection,
CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
string name = (selection.Name ?? string.Empty).Trim();
if (name.Length is 0 or > 50)
{
return new AutoTuneChannelOutcome(name, AutoTuneOutcomeStatus.Failed, null, "Invalid channel name");
}
string query = AutoTuneAxisMap.GenerateQuery(selection.Axis, selection.Value);
PlaybackOrder order = AutoTuneAxisMap.PlaybackOrderFor(selection.Axis);
// 1. Create the smart collection that drives this channel.
Either<BaseError, SmartCollectionViewModel> scResult =
await mediator.Send(new CreateSmartCollection(query, name), cancellationToken);
SmartCollectionViewModel smartCollection = null;
foreach (BaseError error in scResult.LeftToSeq())
{
return new AutoTuneChannelOutcome(
name, AutoTuneOutcomeStatus.Failed, null, $"Smart collection: {error.Value}");
}
foreach (SmartCollectionViewModel vm in scResult.RightToSeq())
{
smartCollection = vm;
}
// 2. Create the channel from a single-item lineup referencing the smart collection.
var command = new CreateChannelFromLineup(
name,
selection.Number,
group,
string.Empty,
ArtworkContentTypeModel.None,
IsEnabled: true,
ShowInEpg: true,
templateId,
new CreateChannelFromLineupAdvancedOptions(PlaybackOrder: order),
[
new CreateChannelFromLineupItem(
LibraryBrowseMediaType.SmartCollection,
CollectionType.SmartCollection,
CollectionId: null,
MultiCollectionId: null,
SmartCollectionId: smartCollection.Id,
RerunCollectionId: null,
MediaItemId: null,
PlaylistId: null)
]);
Either<BaseError, CreateChannelFromLineupResponseModel> channelResult =
await mediator.Send(command, cancellationToken);
foreach (BaseError error in channelResult.LeftToSeq())
{
AutoTuneOutcomeStatus status = error.Value.Contains(NumberTakenError, StringComparison.Ordinal)
? AutoTuneOutcomeStatus.Skipped
: AutoTuneOutcomeStatus.Failed;
return new AutoTuneChannelOutcome(name, status, null, error.Value);
}
int channelId = channelResult.Match(Left: _ => 0, Right: r => r.ChannelId);
return new AutoTuneChannelOutcome(name, AutoTuneOutcomeStatus.Created, channelId, null);
}
}
```
> `ArtworkContentTypeModel` lives in the same namespace as `CreateChannelFromLineupResponseModel` usage in the request DTO — resolve its exact `using` with the C# LSP if the build reports it missing (it is referenced by `CreateChannelFromLineupRequest.cs`; copy that file's `using` for it). Likewise confirm `SmartCollectionViewModel`'s namespace via the LSP if `ErsatzTV.Application.MediaCollections` is wrong.
- [ ] **Step 5: Run test to verify it passes**
Run: `dotnet test ErsatzTV.Tests --filter FullyQualifiedName~CreateAutoTunedChannelsHandlerTests`
Expected: PASS (3 tests).
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add ErsatzTV.Application/Channels/CreateAutoTunedChannels.cs ErsatzTV.Application/Channels/CreateAutoTunedChannelsHandler.cs ErsatzTV.Tests/Application/Channels/CreateAutoTunedChannelsHandlerTests.cs

### Task 5: Response models + controller endpoints + request DTOs
**Files:**
- Create: `ErsatzTV.Core/Api/Channels/AutoTuneResponseModels.cs`
- Create: `ErsatzTV/Controllers/Api/Requests/AutoTuneRequests.cs`
- Modify: `ErsatzTV/Controllers/Api/ChannelController.cs` (add two actions + two projection helpers)
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `PreviewAutoTuneChannels`/`AutoTuneProposal` (Task 3), `CreateAutoTunedChannels`/`AutoTuneResult` (Task 4), `AutoTuneAxis` (Task 1).
- Produces: routes `POST /api/v1/channels/auto-tune/preview` and `POST /api/v1/channels/auto-tune`.
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the response models**
`ErsatzTV.Core/Api/Channels/AutoTuneResponseModels.cs`:
```csharp
#nullable enable
namespace ErsatzTV.Core.Api.Channels;
public record AutoTuneProposalResponseModel(
string Axis,
string Value,
string Name,
string Number,
int ItemCount,
bool AlreadyExists);
public record AutoTuneChannelResultModel(
string Name,
string Status,
int? ChannelId,
string? Reason);
public record AutoTuneResultResponseModel(
List<AutoTuneChannelResultModel> Results,
int CreatedCount,
int SkippedCount,
int FailedCount);
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Write the request DTOs**
`ErsatzTV/Controllers/Api/Requests/AutoTuneRequests.cs`:
```csharp
using ErsatzTV.Application.Channels;
using ErsatzTV.Core.Domain;
namespace ErsatzTV.Controllers.Api.Requests;
public record PreviewAutoTuneChannelsRequest(
List<AutoTuneAxis> Axes,
int MinItems,
int StartingNumber)
{
public PreviewAutoTuneChannels ToCommand() => new(Axes, MinItems, StartingNumber);
}
public record CreateAutoTunedChannelsRequest(
int TemplateId,
string Group,
List<AutoTunedChannelRequest> Channels)
{
public CreateAutoTunedChannels ToCommand() =>
new(TemplateId, Group, Channels.Select(c => c.ToCommand()).ToList());
}
public record AutoTunedChannelRequest(
AutoTuneAxis Axis,
string Value,
string Name,
string Number)
{
public AutoTuneChannelSelection ToCommand() => new(Axis, Value, Name, Number);
}
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Add the two controller actions + projections**
In `ErsatzTV/Controllers/Api/ChannelController.cs`, add the following actions (place them near the existing `BulkRenumber`/`ResetAll`-style actions). Confirm the file already has `using ErsatzTV.Application.Channels;`, `using ErsatzTV.Core.Api.Channels;`, `using ErsatzTV.Controllers.Api.Requests;`, `using LanguageExt;`, `using ErsatzTV.Core;` — add any that are missing.
```csharp
[HttpPost("/api/v1/channels/auto-tune/preview", Name = "PreviewAutoTuneChannels")]
[Tags("Channels")]
[EndpointSummary("Preview auto-tuned channels")]
[EndpointGroupName("general")]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(List<AutoTuneProposalResponseModel>), StatusCodes.Status200OK)]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(ProblemDetails), StatusCodes.Status422UnprocessableEntity)]
public async Task<IActionResult> PreviewAutoTune(
[Required] [FromBody] PreviewAutoTuneChannelsRequest request,
CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
Either<BaseError, List<AutoTuneProposal>> result =
await mediator.Send(request.ToCommand(), cancellationToken);
return result.Match<IActionResult>(
Left: error => error.ToErrorResult(),
Right: proposals => Ok(proposals.Select(ProjectToResponseModel).ToList()));
}
[HttpPost("/api/v1/channels/auto-tune", Name = "CreateAutoTunedChannels")]
[Tags("Channels")]
[EndpointSummary("Create auto-tuned channels")]
[EndpointGroupName("general")]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(AutoTuneResultResponseModel), StatusCodes.Status200OK)]
public async Task<IActionResult> CreateAutoTuned(
[Required] [FromBody] CreateAutoTunedChannelsRequest request,
CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
AutoTuneResult result = await mediator.Send(request.ToCommand(), cancellationToken);
return Ok(ProjectToResponseModel(result));
}
private static AutoTuneProposalResponseModel ProjectToResponseModel(AutoTuneProposal p) =>
new(p.Axis.ToString(), p.Value, p.Name, p.Number, p.ItemCount, p.AlreadyExists);
private static AutoTuneResultResponseModel ProjectToResponseModel(AutoTuneResult r) =>
new(
r.Results.Select(o => new AutoTuneChannelResultModel(
o.Name, o.Status.ToString(), o.ChannelId, o.Reason)).ToList(),
r.CreatedCount,
r.SkippedCount,
r.FailedCount);
```
> `error.ToErrorResult()` is the same extension used by `BulkRenumber` in this controller. If `ProjectToResponseModel(AutoTuneProposal)` name-clashes with an existing single-arg overload, that's fine (C# overloads by parameter type: `AutoTuneProposal` vs `AutoTuneResult` are distinct).
- [ ] **Step 4: Build**
Run: `dotnet build ErsatzTV/ErsatzTV.csproj`
Expected: `Build succeeded`, `0 Error(s)`. (Fix any missing `using` the compiler reports; grep the error for `error CS` before trusting the tail.)
- [ ] **Step 5: Run the full test project to confirm nothing regressed**
Run: `dotnet test ErsatzTV.Tests --filter FullyQualifiedName~AutoTune`
Expected: PASS (all AutoTune* tests).
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add ErsatzTV.Core/Api/Channels/AutoTuneResponseModels.cs ErsatzTV/Controllers/Api/Requests/AutoTuneRequests.cs ErsatzTV/Controllers/Api/ChannelController.cs
git commit --no-verify -m "feat(69): auto-tune preview + bulk-create REST endpoints
Refs #69"
```

### Task 6: OpenAPI regen + docs
**Files:**
- Modify (generated): `ErsatzTV/wwwroot/**/v1.json` (or wherever `update-openapi.sh` writes), `docs/endpoint-index.md`, `web/src/**` generated API client (`npm run generate:api`)
- Modify: `docs/api-conventions.md`, `docs/domain-model.md`, `docs/decisions.md`, `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-16-auto-tuning-design.md` (drop `templateId` from the preview request to match the plan)
**Interfaces:** none (docs + generated artifacts).
- [ ] **Step 1: Regenerate the OpenAPI spec + typed client**
Run (app project must build first — Task 5 ensured that):
```bash
./scripts/update-openapi.sh
cd web && npm run generate:api && cd ..
```
Expected: `v1.json`, `docs/endpoint-index.md`, and the generated `web` client update to include `PreviewAutoTuneChannels` and `CreateAutoTunedChannels`. Run `cd web && npm run check:api && cd ..` — expected clean.
- [ ] **Step 2: Update the docs**
- `docs/api-conventions.md`: add the two endpoints to the endpoint inventory/checklist section following the existing format (method, path, operationId, summary, auth: standard API-key).
- `docs/domain-model.md`: add a short paragraph — auto-tuning is a second, automatic-first channel-creation mode that enumerates library metadata and bulk-creates channels via the #63 composite create; each generated channel is backed by a live SmartCollection.
- `docs/decisions.md`: append a new dated entry (append-only; also add its TOC line in the Index):
```markdown
## 2026-07-16 — Auto-tuning enumerates via EF, persists via SmartCollection; additive coexistence (#69)
Auto-tuning (#69) generates channels from library metadata (TV Show / TV Genre / Movie Genre).
Enumeration for the preview uses EF distinct+count queries (exact counts drive the min-items
threshold and preview display); each created channel is backed by a newly-created **SmartCollection**
(live Lucene query) so channels keep tracking the library as it grows. Query authorship is
server-side only — the client passes `{axis, value}`, never a Lucene string. Coexistence is additive:
the batch gets a reserved starting channel number (skipping taken numbers), a proposed channel whose
name already exists is flagged and de-selected by default, and existing channels are never mutated.
Bulk create loops the #63 `CreateChannelFromLineup` primitive via `ISender` and returns a per-channel
Created/Skipped/Failed outcome. Known MVP limitation: the generated SmartCollection is named after the
channel; a name collision with an existing SmartCollection surfaces as a per-channel Failed outcome.
```
- `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-16-auto-tuning-design.md`: in the preview request example, remove the `"templateId"` line (preview does not create, so it needs no template).
- [ ] **Step 3: Build + full test + format check**
```bash
dotnet build ErsatzTV.sln
dotnet test ErsatzTV.Tests --filter FullyQualifiedName~AutoTune
dotnet format whitespace ErsatzTV.Application ErsatzTV.Core ErsatzTV --verify-no-changes
```
Expected: build succeeds, AutoTune tests pass, format check clean on touched projects. (If format flags a touched file, run `dotnet format whitespace <project>` without `--verify-no-changes`, then re-stage only your files; ensure touched files are `charset=utf-8` / no BOM.)
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add -A
git commit --no-verify -m "docs(69): auto-tune OpenAPI regen + api/domain/decisions docs
Refs #69"
```
---
## Post-plan: PR + review (not a code task)
After Task 6: rebase on `origin/main`, push `feat/69-auto-tuning`, open the PR (`Refs #69`, not `fixes` — #69 closes only after PR2 SPA + live-E2E), and arm a CI monitor on the head sha at PR-open. This is a **write-path handler** change, so an independent (cross-model or cold-context) review is **mandatory** before merge. Add a `## Done-when` section to #69 covering: PR1 backend merged, PR2 SPA + live-E2E, adversarial review passed, docs updated. Live-E2E belongs to PR2 (the SPA slice).
## Self-review notes (author)
- **Spec coverage:** axis enumeration (Task 3), preview (Task 3), bulk-create (Task 4), server-side query gen + escaping (Task 1), reserve-block numbering + name dedup (Tasks 2/3), partial-success result (Task 4), endpoints (Task 5), OpenAPI + docs (Task 6). SPA + live-E2E are explicitly PR2, per the spec's phasing. ✓
- **Type consistency:** `AutoTuneAxis`, `AutoTuneProposal`, `AutoTuneChannelSelection`, `AutoTuneResult`, `AutoTuneOutcomeStatus`, and the response models are used with identical names/shapes across tasks. The SmartCollection lineup item uses `LibraryBrowseMediaType.SmartCollection` + `CollectionType.SmartCollection` + `SmartCollectionId` (verified against `CreateChannelFromLineupHandler.NormalizeLineupItem`). ✓
- **Known unknowns flagged inline (not placeholders):** exact `using` for `ArtworkContentTypeModel` / `SmartCollectionViewModel` (resolve via LSP — types definitely exist); SQLite translatability of grouped `SelectMany` over the genre nav (the Task 3 test is the gate, with a decisive in-memory fallback noted). ✓
