Batch duplicate review
Problem
Opening a diagnostic, opening each group again, scrolling to a separate repair form, and applying one change at a time creates unnecessary friction and many small backups.
Design
Duplicate and cloud-conflict diagnostics now open as a sequential review queue. Each group presents its candidates together with audio preview and Finder controls. Choosing a keeper records the decision and advances immediately. Uncertain groups can be skipped without changing them.
All approved decisions are submitted as one dry-run plan. Apply creates one backup containing every affected audio file plus the Serato metadata snapshot, then installs all compatibility shortcuts as one rollback unit. Any validation or filesystem failure prevents or rolls back the batch.
The dry-run opens in a closable modal that names every selected keeper and every path that will become a compatibility shortcut. Closing the modal preserves the queue position and all decisions so the DJ can continue reviewing before apply.
Edge cases
- The same group cannot be submitted twice.
- A file cannot be both a keeper and a disposable file across choices.
- Every group is rescanned and revalidated before preview and apply.
- Skipped and unreviewed groups remain untouched.
- Revisiting a group preserves and visibly marks its selected keeper.
Tests
- Two groups produce one backup and one restorable receipt.
- Batch preview reports combined changes without modifying files.
- Existing single-group repair remains a wrapper around the batch engine.
