+// matchSongsToLibrary matches agent song results to local library tracks using a multi-phase
+// matching algorithm that prioritizes accuracy over recall.
+//
+// # Algorithm Overview
+//
+// The algorithm matches songs from external agents (Last.fm, Deezer, etc.) to tracks in the
+// local music library using four matching strategies in priority order:
+//
+//  1. Direct ID match: Songs with an ID field are matched directly to MediaFiles by ID
+//  2. MusicBrainz Recording ID (MBID) match: Songs with MBID are matched to tracks with
+//     matching mbz_recording_id
+//  3. ISRC match: Songs with ISRC are matched to tracks with matching ISRC tag
+//  4. Title+Artist fuzzy match: Remaining songs are matched using fuzzy string comparison
+//     with metadata specificity scoring
+//
+// # Matching Priority
+//
+// When selecting the final result, matches are prioritized in order: ID > MBID > ISRC > Title+Artist.
+// This ensures that more reliable identifiers take precedence over fuzzy text matching.
+//
+// # Fuzzy Matching Details
+//
+// For title+artist matching, the algorithm uses Jaro-Winkler similarity (threshold configurable
+// via SimilarSongsMatchThreshold, default 85%). Matches are ranked by:
+//
+//  1. Title similarity (Jaro-Winkler score, 0.0-1.0)
+//  2. Duration proximity (closer duration = higher score, 1.0 if unknown)
+//  3. Specificity level (0-5, based on metadata precision):
+//     - Level 5: Title + Artist MBID + Album MBID (most specific)
+//     - Level 4: Title + Artist MBID + Album name (fuzzy)
+//     - Level 3: Title + Artist name + Album name (fuzzy)
+//     - Level 2: Title + Artist MBID
+//     - Level 1: Title + Artist name
+//     - Level 0: Title only
+//  4. Album similarity (Jaro-Winkler, as final tiebreaker)
+//
+// # Examples
+//
+// Example 1 - MBID Priority:
+//
+//	Agent returns: {Name: "Paranoid Android", MBID: "abc-123", Artist: "Radiohead"}
+//	Library has: [
+//	  {ID: "t1", Title: "Paranoid Android", MbzRecordingID: "abc-123"},
+//	  {ID: "t2", Title: "Paranoid Android", Artist: "Radiohead"},
+//	]
+//	Result: t1 (MBID match takes priority over title+artist)
+//
+// Example 2 - ISRC Priority:
+//
+//	Agent returns: {Name: "Paranoid Android", ISRC: "GBAYE0000351", Artist: "Radiohead"}
+//	Library has: [
+//	  {ID: "t1", Title: "Paranoid Android", Tags: {isrc: ["GBAYE0000351"]}},
+//	  {ID: "t2", Title: "Paranoid Android", Artist: "Radiohead"},
+//	]
+//	Result: t1 (ISRC match takes priority over title+artist)
+//
+// Example 3 - Specificity Ranking:
+//
+//	Agent returns: {Name: "Enjoy the Silence", Artist: "Depeche Mode", Album: "Violator"}
+//	Library has: [
+//	  {ID: "t1", Title: "Enjoy the Silence", Artist: "Depeche Mode", Album: "101"},           // Level 1
+//	  {ID: "t2", Title: "Enjoy the Silence", Artist: "Depeche Mode", Album: "Violator"},      // Level 3
+//	]
+//	Result: t2 (Level 3 beats Level 1 due to album match)
+//
+// Example 4 - Fuzzy Title Matching:
+//
+//	Agent returns: {Name: "Bohemian Rhapsody", Artist: "Queen"}
+//	Library has: {ID: "t1", Title: "Bohemian Rhapsody - Remastered", Artist: "Queen"}
+//	With threshold=85%: Match succeeds (similarity ~0.87)
