Channels, search and sync do no database work in their routes any more: reads go through
catalog/queries, writes through catalog/service, and a live search's ingest is catalog/search.
What a catalog route needs from Reader (a playlist's channels, a user's tag links, the feed
projection of results) it asks reader/queries and reader/service. The scheduler and the runs page
read channel titles and the work queue through catalog/queries. Catalog is fenced below its HTTP
layer: its owner filters go through userscope, it reads no other unit's tables, and its ingest
jobs commit only where they are named.
Channel, Subscription, Video, SearchFind, ExploredChannel and BlockedChannel (and LIVE_OR_UPCOMING)
leave app/models.py for app/catalog/models.py; app.tables registers them. The User↔Subscription
relationship names its other side as a type only. No schema change.
The code cited its plan instead of saying why: `E28 review J4`, `(R6 S3b)`, `S1 justified…`,
`deep-review round 5`. That plan lives in the private ops repo, so for every reader of this one the
citation was noise, and a sentence whose subject was the plan step ("round 2 showed…") hid its
lesson behind an id. Each one is gone and the "why" kept: a bare citation is deleted, a sentence
carrying a lesson is reworded around it ("a later attempt showed…").
Measured (`scripts/audit_metrics.py`, product code): 652 lines in 270 files carried an epic code by
the definition the next commit holds (507 / 241 by the old, two-digit-only one) -> 0. Across all
code, tests, scripts and configs: ~1100 epic-code lines plus ~320 sprint/round ids.
Behaviour unchanged, checked mechanically: every changed .py file has the same AST once docstrings
are blanked; css/sh/toml/yml/json files are identical once comments are stripped; the only
non-comment changes in TS/JS are test titles, one description string in a contract table, and five
ESLint messages, whose text is all the gates snapshot diff holds. Not touched: Markdown (docs and
the changelog keep their history), Alembic migrations, TV episode notation (`S2 · E5`), DESIGN.md
ids (`C1`, `B4`, `S3h`), tracker ids (`SEC-16`, `DX-17`).
One stale claim fixed on the way: test_hls_reaper's docstring said the player checkpoints "every
10 s whether or not it is playing", which plex/stream.py calls wrong; it now says what the code does.
GET /api/channels summed every subscribed channel's videos by reading each video's heap page
(681 MB on prod): 51-61 ms warm, but 2.25 s on a first open and 6.4 s under EXPLAIN once the
table had left memory. /feed/summary and /feed/years did the same (~140 ms warm, ~800 ms cold).
Migration 0095 replaces ix_videos_channel_pub_desc with the same key INCLUDING the columns
those queries read, so they are Index Only Scans over a 25 MB index. A test holds the queries
and the index's column list together.
The admin Configuration page did a db.get per setting (two for an unset one): it now reads
every override in one query (~40 ms of ~55 on prod).
