- Files toolbar link box (paste button, Enter); a lone http(s) link pasted onto any page opens the one
app-wide download dialog, which now names the link; the palette's "Download from a link…" focuses
the box on its history entry.
- The download tray, bottom right on every page: what waits, runs, is paused or failed (reason +
Retry, the queue's right-click / "…" menu), and what finished in this tab as "Done · Open" until
closed; folds to a pill (per-account pref); closed, it stays shut — across a reload — until the
work changes or something finishes. Back to top steps up over it, the page end keeps clear.
- A finish is announced once: "Downloaded: …", whether a phone plays it, Copy link + Open (toasts
and notices may carry a second action).
- The inbox's ready notice opens the file in its folder: download_done carries job_id + folder_id.
- GET /api/downloads is the queue only (in flight, failed, finished in the last 10 minutes), with
each row's source key.
POST /api/downloads/clip takes a source (a YouTube id or a Plex rating key), a range of at most
ten minutes and, for Plex, the audio track being heard. The clip becomes a per-user asset in the
library like an editor clip, shareable as soon as it is ready. A YouTube clip fetches only its
range (yt-dlp download_ranges: 3-7 s whatever the video's length); a Plex clip reads the library
file in place. Both then go through one re-encode: frame-exact at the marks, H.264 at most 1080p
with HDR tonemapped to SDR, stereo AAC, no chapter track, .mp4.
Job kinds are a JobKind StrEnum now, and Re-download refuses every kind but a download.
The cancel route writes status 'canceled' but the supervisor compared against
'cancelled', so its "a route stopped it -> kill the child, free the asset"
branch was dead code. A canceled job's child ran to completion and wrote 'done'
unconditionally over the route's 'canceled'; since 'done' holds the asset but
'canceled' does not, a later delete released the asset a second time, dropping
ref_count below the live holder count and deleting a file still in use.
Add app/downloads/status.py as the single source of truth for the lifecycle
literals (JobStatus StrEnum + the HOLDING / STOPPED_BY_ROUTE sets) and use it at
the safety-critical sites: the supervisor stop check, the route cancel, and
release_asset's holding set. Make the worker's terminal done/error writes
conditional on the row still being 'running' so a child finishing just after a
route cancel/pause can no longer resurrect it. Add the missing 'canceled'
supervisor regression test.
(The full literal sweep across the downloads surface is left for the E3
downloads owner-unification; this is the data-safety subset.)
