* fix(playlists): preserve unchanged fields on partial REST updates (#5541) The REST adapter for playlists was discarding the `cols` argument that rest.Put provides (the list of fields actually present in the JSON body). updatePlaylistEntity then compared the deserialized entity's zero-valued Name/Comment against the DB row, decided "content changed", and called updateMetadata with &entity.Name — overwriting the name with the empty string. This surfaced via the Playlists list view's bulk "Make Public" action, which sends N parallel `PUT /api/playlist/{id}` requests with body `{"public": true}`. Affected playlists ended up with their names wiped (UI showed "Loading..." indefinitely). The per-row Public toggle was unaffected because it spreads the full record into the payload. Honor the cols list: gate every field-change check and every pointer passed to updateMetadata by whether the field was actually in the request body. Empty cols falls back to the existing "treat as a full record" behavior so non-REST callers are unaffected. * test(playlists): cover rules-only PUT + case-variant owner-change guard Follow-ups from manual testing and code review of the prior commit: - Manual testing confirmed Feishin-style rules-only PUT works correctly on the fix; add ginkgo regression tests for rules-only update, name+ rules combined, idempotent rules PUT (no-op), and bulk Make-Public preserving rules on smart playlists. - Keep the non-admin owner-change permission check gated on the deserialized entity content (not on `sent("ownerId")`) so a case-variant JSON key like {"OwnerId":"x"} can't downgrade the 403 to a silent 200. Go's json decoder is case-insensitive on struct field matching but rest.Put's field-name extraction is case- sensitive; the entity-based guard catches both spellings. The apply-side gating on ownerChanged still prevents the actual mutation, so this was a behavioral (not security) regression, but worth fixing. Adds a regression test asserting the case-variant key still returns rest.ErrPermissionDenied. - Correct misleading doc on applyContentUpdate: the path does not rewrite the backing M3U file; it goes through updateMetadata which bumps updatedAt and invalidates cached cover-art URLs. * fix(playlists): match REST cols case-insensitively (PR #5542 review) Go's encoding/json populates struct fields from case-variant keys like {"Name":"x"} or {"OwnerId":"y"}, but rest.Put's getFieldNames extracts raw JSON keys verbatim. With case-sensitive matching, sentFields would ignore the field on the update side — a request with {"Name":"Renamed"} would parse into entity.Name but then sent("name") returns false and the rename silently no-ops. Normalize both sides to lowercase. The entity-based owner-permission guard added in the previous commit remains as belt-and-suspenders but is now redundant with this change. Also clarify the applyContentUpdate doc comment: namePtr/commentPtr are nil when the field is absent OR present-but-unchanged, while publicPtr only tracks presence (an idempotent public is still forwarded). * refactor(playlists): drop redundant entity-based owner-permission guard The case-insensitive sentFields predicate already prevents case-variant JSON keys like {"OwnerId":"x"} from bypassing the ownerChanged check, so the duplicated entity-content guard is no longer load-bearing. Strengthen the regression test into a DescribeTable covering canonical, PascalCase, all-upper, and all-lower spellings to lock in the case-insensitive contract.
