defmodule MusicLibraryWeb.LastFmController do

Handles the Last.fm OAuth callback.
## Trust boundary
`GET /auth/last_fm/callback` is deliberately outside the `:logged_in`
pipeline: Last.fm redirects the browser back to us with a `token` query
parameter, and that third-party redirect cannot carry our session cookie,
so requiring a logged-in session here would break the OAuth flow.
What protects the endpoint:
* The `token` is validated by Last.fm via `LastFm.get_session/1`
against the `LAST_FM_API_KEY` / `LAST_FM_SHARED_SECRET` pair — it
cannot be forged locally.
* The Last.fm HTTP client is rate-limited at the `Req` layer
(`Req.RateLimiter`, 500ms between requests), bounding the quota a
malicious caller could burn.
* This is a single-user deployment; the stored session key grants
scrobble access for one account, not multi-tenant credentials.
Failure mode: an invalid or forged `token` makes `get_session/1` return
`{:error, reason}`; nothing is written to the `secrets` table, the user
sees an error toast, and the upstream error is logged by the Req layer.
