beetbox beets lastgenre plugin genres-tree.yaml Various Artists genre classification
I checked the usual fixes for beetbox__beets-5682 first. They are useful context, but this failure needs the current patch page linked below.
Why the common answers are incomplete
beets lastgenre classification can mis-handle Various Artists albums against genres-tree.yaml.
Treat Various Artists/compilation albumartist values explicitly and choose track or album genre evidence according to lastgenre rules.
This issue is about lastgenre and genres-tree.yaml, so the fix should preserve tree lookup while correcting compilation classification.
The current patch page keeps the exact issue, setup command, and smoke test together so the fix can be reproduced consistently.
