feat(metadata): configure image cache workers

[Quick104]

Problem

Related issue: N/A — narrow fix

Metadata image cache and backfill tasks hardcode their worker count, so deployments cannot adjust their image-processing concurrency.

Approach

• Read SILO_METADATA_IMAGE_CACHE_WORKERS when a metadata image task starts.
• Default to 4 workers. Empty, invalid, zero, and negative values fall back to that default.
• Use the same setting for queued cache drains and manual backfills.
• Keep the claim size at 2, the scheduled drain cap at 10 minutes, and manual backfills unbounded as before.
• Document the deployment override in .env.example.

The fixed two-job claim size still caps realized parallelism within one claimed batch at two. The setting can reduce concurrency today; values above two are passed to the runner but do not increase work within a single batch while that claim size remains fixed.

Validation

Passed:

go test -race ./internal/taskmanager/tasks/...
go build ./...
gofmt -l .
go vet ./...
make verify-local-paths
git diff --check

make test-go is not green because two existing internal/jellycompat process-lock tests fail reproducibly:

TestBeginWebOperationRecoversDeadProcessLock
TestBeginWebOperationRejectsLiveProcessLock

golangci-lint run --new-from-merge-base="origin/main" ./... was not run because golangci-lint is not installed in the validation environment.

No frontend behavior changed, so frontend tests and screenshots are not applicable.

Risks

An invalid override silently uses the default, matching existing worker-count environment overrides. No API, database, migration, or client contract changes.

AI Disclosure

• Tool(s): Codex in T3 Code
• Model(s): gpt-5.6-sol
• Involvement: Fully AI-generated; human review pending
• Adversarial review: Reviewed the complete diff and traced the configured value through both task paths into ImageCacheProcessor. Verified fallback parsing, the unchanged claim and runtime arguments, and deployment documentation. The review found that the fixed claim size limits realized per-batch parallelism to two; this tradeoff is documented above because preserving the claim size is part of the requested scope.

Checklist

• I read and can explain the complete diff.
• This pull request addresses one concern.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added an optional setting to configure the number of concurrent metadata artwork cache workers.
  • The default concurrency is four workers when the setting is omitted or invalid.

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved handling of empty, non-positive, or invalid worker-count settings by safely applying the default.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The metadata image cache tasks now read worker concurrency from SILO_METADATA_IMAGE_CACHE_WORKERS. Invalid values use four workers. Cache and backfill tasks retain a claim limit of two, with tests covering configured and fallback values.

Changes

Metadata image cache worker configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Worker configuration and execution .env.example, internal/taskmanager/tasks/cache_metadata_images.go	Adds the worker-count environment setting. The task trims and parses the value, defaults invalid or non-positive values to four, and passes the resolved count to the runner.
Worker configuration validation internal/taskmanager/tasks/cache_metadata_images_test.go	Tests configured worker counts for cache and backfill tasks. Tests also verify the fixed claim limit of two and fallback behavior for empty, zero, negative, and nonnumeric values.

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

Scale claim batches with the worker setting

When SILO_METADATA_IMAGE_CACHE_WORKERS is greater than 2—including its documented default of 4—the task still claims only two jobs per batch. ImageCacheProcessor.runUntilIdle waits for each RunOnce batch to finish before claiming another, and RunOnce can only process its claimed slice, so the effective concurrency never exceeds two; deployments therefore cannot use this setting to increase throughput as advertised. Size the claim batch from the configured worker count while preserving the lease-safety constraint.

Cover trimmed environment values.

Add a test for " 6 ". This case fails if strings.TrimSpace is removed. A " " case adds invalid-input coverage but does not detect removal of trimming.
