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.
YouTube answers the uploads list of a channel with no uploads as
playlistNotFound. The recent and deep backfills raised on it, so the channel
was never stamped and was picked again, charged a quota unit and logged an
ERROR on every run. Both now read it as an empty last page, as explore already
does; any other failure still raises.
playlistNotFound was mapped to "gone" everywhere: exploring a channel without uploads (its
uploads list answers not found) and a list deleted mid bulk pull both said a playlist no
longer exists. The reason is now "gone" only on single-playlist routes; explore reads it
as an empty back-catalogue, and the bulk pull skips that list and syncs the rest.
E32 review round 1 (B1, B2, B3, B8).
- Plex watch reconcile: a section the server SAYS is empty (totalSize 0, nothing listed) is a
complete listing. It read as "cut short" forever, so one empty library stopped un-watches from
ever syncing. A listing with no total at all stays incomplete (the client now returns None for
it instead of 0), and a whole scan that listed nothing still clears nothing. Tests now cover
completeness across two sections, both orders.
- Plex collections: no members from a collection whose listing counts some (childCount) keeps
the membership we hold, in the full sync and in the targeted resync after a write.
- YouTube playlists: no items for a playlist whose listing counts some (itemCount) keeps the
mirror in the bulk pull, and is refused as retryable in "reset to YouTube" and in the push
plan/merge, where it read as "YouTube deleted them all". The rule sits beside vanished().
- A playlist deleted on YouTube answered "reconnect your account"; it now says it is gone
(errors.youtube.gone, HU+EN).
- The pure 3-way merge moved to sync/playlist_merge.py; playlists.py is back under 800 lines and
off the size list.
- Every playlist item write (add, remove, move, reorder, rename; Plex remove and remove-bulk) row-locks
the playlist before it touches an item, a move both lists in id order: remove beside reorder was a
deadlock, and two adds of one video a unique-key 500.
- The scheduled mirror refresh re-reads dirty under that lock, so an edit made during its YouTube calls
is not replaced by YouTube's order.
- A user's bulk pull holds a per-user advisory claim: two at once created duplicate mirrors. The manual
sync answers 409 sync_all_busy instead of '0 synced', and like the re-pull spends its cooldown only
on a pull that runs.
- Deleted mirrors are committed at once, not only when a later list commits.
- The claims open an unpooled connection of their own instead of a third pooled one per push.
Deep review of the debt burn:
- `refusal_reason` told the user to reconnect on ANY token-endpoint failure — a 5xx, a 429, a
misconfigured client — while the grant stayed and the account still read as connected, with no
connect button. Only `invalid_grant` (the one that drops the grant) means reconnect now.
- `pins.reorder` writes only the rows that change, so two overlapping reorders each skipped rows
that matched in their own stale snapshot and interleaved into two pins on one slot. It locks the
user's pins first; the second waits and deals from the first's result.
- Adding a whitelist entry committed the invite and the activation it implies separately, and its
audit row was written before a new invite had an id (target NULL). One transaction, flushed for
the id.
- The mutation convention test skipped async routes and dicts returned by name: request-access,
purge-discovery and the subscription sync answered without `ok`. They do now, and the test
covers both. The helper-commit check looked only at `_`-names; it reads every non-route
function, which listed two deliberate committers (upsert_pending_invite, ensure_welcome) — now
allowlisted with their reasons.
The two manual syncs (subscriptions import, playlist pull) had no YouTubeError
handler, so a quota, token or transport failure was a raw 500 and the blocking
"Server error" dialog (E9 F1). The other YouTube routes answered either the
upstream's English or a playlist-scoped "youtube_failed".
One helper, routes/_common.youtube_refusal: 422 {code: "youtube", reason} with
the reason sorted by what the user can do — quota (wait for the reset),
reconnect (the token step refused), unavailable (retry). Used by every route
that surfaces a YouTube failure; localizeDetail translates it.
"Reconnect" had no path: a grant Google revoked still read as granted, so
Settings and the wizard offered no connect button while every call failed.
An invalid_grant from the token endpoint now clears the stored grant.
