Problem

The semantic image-variant hint the server sends with image-resolution RPCs (ResolveImageURLRequest.variant and friends) had no documented vocabulary and no SDK constants — plugins hardcode strings, and one proto comment even advertised a "thumbnail" value the server never sends. Silo-Server/silo-server#742 introduces client-selectable artwork sizes, and the server now emits a new "large" tier (~780px posters/stills, ~1280px backdrops/logos) between featured and full/original.

Approach

Purely additive, no wire change (the field is an open string):

  • New pkg/pluginsdk/imagevariant package with the canonical constants Card, Featured, Large, Full, Original, each documented with its target size band, plus the two contract rules: the set is open and grows additively, and a plugin receiving an unknown variant must degrade gracefully to its nearest size and never error.
  • The variant vocabulary and degradation rule are now documented on the proto fields (metadata_provider.proto, runtime_host.proto) and regenerated (make proto — comments-only diff, no descriptor/wire change, verified). The stale "thumbnail" example is gone.
  • docs/runtime-host.md gains an "Image variants" section; docs/compatibility.md documents the open-vocabulary policy.

First-party plugins already degrade gracefully today (tmdb/metadb → original, tvdb → full art), so the server sends "large" unconditionally with no version gating. Coordinated plugin adoption: Silo-Server/silo-plugin-metadata-tmdb PR follows.

Verification

go build ./..., go vet ./..., go test ./... all clean, including the new package's canonical-values test. Proto regen diff inspected: comment lines only in the two .pb.go files.

Related issue: N/A — SDK half of Silo-Server/silo-server#742.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added standard image-size variants: Card, Featured, Large, Full, and Original.
    • Defined an extensible vocabulary for image URL requests across catalog and batch resolution.
  • Documentation

    • Documented intended image surfaces and canonical variant values.
    • Clarified graceful fallback to the nearest supported size for unknown or unsupported variants, without returning errors.
    • Updated compatibility and runtime guidance to reflect the new image-variant standards.

Silo sends metadata and image-resolver plugins a semantic image-variant
hint on ResolveImageURL(s)Request and ResolveCatalogImageURLsRequest, but
the vocabulary was documented nowhere and plugins hardcoded the strings.
The server now supports client-selectable image sizes and will start
sending "large" (~780px posters/stills, ~1280px logos/backdrops) between
"featured" and "full".

Export the canonical values from a new pkg/pluginsdk/imagevariant package,
document the vocabulary on the proto fields and in docs, and state the two
contract rules: the set is open and grows additively, and a plugin
receiving an unknown variant must degrade to its nearest supported size
rather than error.

Additive and comment-only on the wire: the regenerated .pb.go diff is
struct-field doc comments only.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds canonical image variant constants and documents an extensible image-size vocabulary. Protobuf contracts and runtime documentation now require graceful fallback for unknown or empty variants.

Changes

Image variant vocabulary

Layer / File(s) Summary
Canonical variant constants
pkg/pluginsdk/imagevariant/*
Adds Card, Featured, Large, Full, and Original constants with tests for their canonical values.
Plugin API contracts
proto/silo/plugin/v1/metadata_provider.proto, proto/silo/plugin/v1/runtime_host.proto
Documents semantic size hints, additive vocabulary evolution, and nearest-size or default-size fallback without errors.
Compatibility and runtime documentation
docs/compatibility.md, docs/runtime-host.md
Adds compatibility guidance and updates catalog image examples to use imagevariant.Card. Documents variant semantics and plugin fallback behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f8a46

The PR adds the image-variant vocabulary but currently gives clients conflicting guidance about what an empty variant means across request types, which could cause plugins and hosts to select different defaults. Clarify the receiver-specific behavior before merging.

Comment thread pkg/pluginsdk/imagevariant/imagevariant.go Outdated
An empty variant resolves to the plugin default on the metadata-provider
RPCs and the host default on the RuntimeHost RPC; the package doc claimed
"host default" for all three.

Addressed in 8ef0e20 — the package doc now states the receiver-specific rule (plugin default on the metadata-provider RPCs, host default on the RuntimeHost RPC). The two proto comments already carried the correct per-receiver wording, so only the Go doc needed aligning.

P2 Badge Do not prescribe Original for empty variants

When an implementer follows this exported constant's GoDoc, an empty request may be mapped to original, contradicting the package-level and protobuf contracts that empty selects the receiver-specific default. For hosts or plugins whose default is a resized rendition, this would unexpectedly serve source assets and increase bandwidth and memory usage; reserve this fallback guidance for recognized original requests and direct empty values to the receiver default.
