Requesting "Michael Jackson - Chicago" filed The Fall's "Chicago, Now!" from Extricate. The chain: the artist name is filtered by the Soulseek server, so the ladder correctly fell back to the bare title -- at which point the result set is every song anyone has ever called Chicago, and the artist is the only thing telling them apart. match_ratio weights the artist at 0.25, so a perfect title with no artist anywhere scores 0.75. That clears MIN_MATCH, and the ~22 point gap it leaves against a genuine match is nothing next to the 340 points score() awards for a free upload slot and a short queue. An idle peer holding the wrong song therefore beat a busy peer holding the right one, every time. That is the failure the confidence score was explicitly designed to prevent -- "a fast peer must not be able to raise the confidence of a wrong match" -- and rewriting score() to rank availability first reintroduced it on the other side of the wall. Availability is a tiebreak among plausible files; it is never a reason to take a different song. Candidates whose path names the artist are now kept outright and the rest discarded, falling back to title-only matches only when there are none. The downstream confidence gate still ran correctly here: it scored 0.75, said "artist not found in path", and held the file for review. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
