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.
A 1-2 letter prefix matched most of the library and ts_rank scored every
match: "m" took ~4-8 s on prod against ~150 ms now. The prefix match
starts at three characters (MIN_PREFIX_LEN); shared by the YouTube feed
and the Plex library search.
Review follow-up. The docstring said "channel/video description" but the helper is
wired only to the channel store sites; clarify it is deliberately channel-only
(video descriptions are user-facing prose where paragraph breaks carry meaning,
unlike a channel's metadata block) so it doesn't read as an asymmetric fix. Also
document that str.splitlines() folds CR/CRLF and Unicode line separators to "\n",
and lock it with a test.
YouTube channel descriptions pad their contact/link blocks with runs of blank
lines, which the About popover renders verbatim (whitespace-pre-wrap) — wasted
space and storage, and noise in the search_vector. Add normalize_description()
and apply it at both channel store sites (full details + initial import) so the
DB holds the clean text. New channels are clean immediately; existing rows heal
on their next metadata re-sync. Unit-tested in test_utils.
/code-review high round 1 (5 findings):
- iso(dt) now typed `date | None` — MediaAsset.upload_date is a plain `date`, not a
datetime; the helper's signature was too narrow for the type-contract epic. +test.
- restore alphabetical app.* import order in audit.py and plex.py (the new iso/_common
imports had been dropped in mid-block).
The other 3 findings are deliberate design choices, left as-is for UAT: push/push-plan
now gate write-scope before the 404 (dependency ordering); the unified 403 message; and
owned_or_404's owner_attr kept for S1b's DownloadShare.to_user_id-style owners.
Gate: ruff clean, pytest 164 green.
Establish the R6 API-contract infra before the S1b payload:dict migration:
- iso(dt) in utils.py replaces the ~16 hand-rolled `x.isoformat() if x else None`
serializer idioms across the routes.
- get_or_404 / owned_or_404 in routes/_common.py — one 404 + existence-leak policy;
plex's _own_playlist_or_404 and saved_views' _own_view now delegate to it.
- require_write_scope dependency in auth.py collapses the inline has_write_scope→403
checks (channels subscribe/unsubscribe, playlists push/push-plan) that had drifted
into three different messages into one; the conditional delete_playlist guard stays
inline (its message was already canonical).
No response-shape change (iso == isoformat for a present value). Gate: ruff clean,
pytest 163 green (+ test_utils for iso).
