The scrape source exposes no publish date, so its search stub carried
published_at=None. Migration 0068 (PERF-15, E2/0.68.0) made
videos.published_at NOT NULL, so insert_stubs raised IntegrityError —
outside the route's page-fetch try/except — and the whole
/api/search/youtube request 500'd ("YouTube search failed."). Every
scrape search (the default source) had been broken since 0.68.0.
- routes/search._ingest_candidates: stub published_at falls back to
now() (mirrors stub_from_playlist_item), satisfying the constraint.
- sync.videos.apply_video_details: prefer the enrich snippet's real
date whenever present, so the now() placeholder is corrected instead
of becoming the video's permanent date (the guard only filled a NULL,
which a non-null placeholder no longer is). Never clobbers a real
date with now().
Regression tests (DB lane): dateless scrape stub ingests and takes the
real enrich date; an enrich miss keeps a non-null placeholder, unkept.
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.
The admin-tunable maintenance re-validation batch lived in its own app_state
column with a hand-rolled override-or-default reader in app.state — a fourth
config store duplicating the sysconfig SPECS pattern. Move it to a sysconfig key
(`maintenance` group, min=100 max=100_000): the reader (sync/maintenance.py) and
the Scheduler dashboard (routes/scheduler.py PATCH + GET) now go through
sysconfig.get_int / set_value / spec, and app.state loses get/set_maintenance_batch
+ the MIN/MAX constants + the settings import. Migration 0070 carries any existing
override into the system_config store before dropping the app_state column
(reversible; restores + copies back on downgrade). Reuses the existing
sysconfig.spec() for the dashboard's min/max, so the bounds have one source.
Full lane 365 pass (migration drift + reversibility exercised), ruff clean.
This codebase leans on "why" comments as its architecture doc, so a header that
claims the opposite of the code below it is worse than none. Fix the seven the
review flagged: channels.py (subscribe/unsubscribe shipped), playlists.py +
sync/playlists.py (YouTube two-way sync + write-back shipped), setup.py (drop the
"epic 6c" ref — the wizard steps exist), config.py ("auth._client_ip" ->
"routes.auth._client_ip"), db.py ("routes/plex.py" -> "routes/plex/" after the
package split), sysconfig.py (the "Phase C" note — the watch-sync job that reads
plex_watch_sync_interval_min has landed; clarified it's a boot default, not a knob).
Docs only.
Two scheduler jobs full-seq-scanned the 257k-row videos table every run:
- PERF-17 enrich_pending (`WHERE enriched_at IS NULL LIMIT N`, every few minutes):
44,680 buffers even with 0 pending -> a partial ix_videos_enrich_pending makes
it a 1-buffer index scan (empty when nothing pending).
- PERF-18 maintenance revalidate (`WHERE unavailable_since IS NULL ORDER BY
last_checked_at NULLS FIRST LIMIT N`, ~300 pages/run): 44,754 buffers + top-N
sort -> a partial ix_videos_recheck_order in that exact order = a 42-buffer
index scan. The order_by is rewritten to `asc().nulls_first()` (equivalent to
the old `(IS NULL) DESC, ASC`) so it rides the index; the unused plain
ix_videos_last_checked_at is dropped.
PERF-3: drop the never-picked boolean btrees (is_short, via_explore) and slim the
useful ones to partials over the queried subset (via_search=true, NOT
shorts_probed, unavailable_since IS NOT NULL) — less write amplification on the
biggest table, same lookups. Model: those 6 columns lose their inline index=True
(the partials are migration-defined, like the search_vector GIN); live_status
left alone.
Measured on the prod-sized localdev reseed: enrich 44,680 -> 1 buffer (25.9 ->
0.02 ms), maintenance 44,754 -> 42 buffers (35.5 -> 0.17 ms); all 11 CONCURRENTLY
index ops on 257k rows in 0.75s. Gate green (346 pytest incl. drift + downgrade
round-trip).
A nullable published_at forced the feed keyset into a non-sargable
`... OR published_at IS NULL` disjunction: with the 0067 index the planner still
applied it as a FILTER and scanned from the top of the index, so a deep `newest`
page discarded every earlier row (O(depth)).
- Migration 0068: backfill any NULLs (0 in prod) -> SET NOT NULL + DEFAULT now().
- Model: Video.published_at is now non-Optional, nullable=False, server_default now().
- feedquery: the `pub` key is nullable=False, and keyset_predicate is rebuilt
recursively so a non-nullable leading key gets a non-strict range bound
(`published_at <= v`) as an AND conjunct — an index range Cond instead of a
filter. Nullable keys keep the NULL-aware OR form (a `<= v` bound would drop
their NULL group). Equivalence proven by test_feed_keyset (all 13 sorts,
cursor-walk == unpaged).
- Ingest paths (stub_from_playlist_item, apply_video_details, playlists sync)
fall back to now() so they never write an explicit NULL.
Measured on the prod-sized localdev reseed at a ~50k-deep cursor (0067 index +
prod planner): OLD `Rows Removed by Filter: 50001`, 25,687 buffers / 9.16 ms ->
NEW `Index Cond: published_at <= v`, 1 row filtered, 47 buffers / 0.037 ms. SET
NOT NULL on 257k rows: 0.32s. Gate green (334 pytest).
Addresses the code-review findings on the immediate full-history change:
- Extract quota.backfill_reserve_reached(): the remaining/reserve compare was
open-coded at seven sites (recent/deep/immediate backfill, explore, rolling
revalidation, and the new per-page guard). It reads in its OWN short-lived
session (like record_usage/log_action), so a per-page guard no longer holds
the caller's transaction open across the YouTube fetch that follows — the
400-page immediate run no longer pins a pooled connection idle-in-transaction
through each network round-trip. Migrated all call sites; dropped the now-dead
sysconfig imports in channels.py and maintenance.py.
- Simplify the deep-backfill loop: channel.backfill_done = not page_token (done
is False on entry) plus one break, replacing the doubled `if not page_token`.
- Tests patch the backfill_reserve_reached seam directly instead of mocking
remaining_today internals, removing the fragile dead-value budget iterator.
Full backend suite green; ruff clean.
The user-triggered "get full history" (backfill_channel_now) capped at
max_pages=60 = 3000 videos. A channel just over that (BBC Earth: 3403
uploads = 69 pages) stopped one page short, so its tail dribbled in over
the scheduler's paced 10-minute ticks (250 videos/tick) and the button
spinner looked stuck for ~18 minutes with no visible progress.
- Raise the immediate cap to max_pages=400 (20 000 videos) so any
realistic channel completes in the single background run.
- Make a high cap safe: backfill_channel_deep now re-checks the shared
quota before each page and yields at the backfill reserve (previously
quota was checked once by the caller before the whole run), and commits
the advanced cursor after every page so a restart resumes instead of
re-fetching — and re-charging quota for — pages already stored.
- Channel page: while loading, the button shows the live stored/total
count and a tooltip explaining the tail finishes in the background, so a
very large channel's paced remainder reads as progress, not a hang.
Adds deep-backfill paging tests (per-page cursor commit + resume, and the
per-page quota yield).
- Make the immediate-backfill guard SYMMETRIC: run_deep_backfill now also
registers the channel it pages in _backfill_in_progress, so it and
backfill_channel_now mutually exclude per-channel and never advance the
same cursor concurrently (whichever started first). The interactive cap
moves to a separate _immediate_running counter so the scheduler's channels
don't false-trip it.
- Attribute the immediate backfill's spend: wrap it in
quota.attribute(user_id, VIDEOS_BACKFILL_FULL) (route passes user.id), so
it shows under the user's full-backfill action, not the OTHER/system bucket.
- Tests: the update_channel->background-task wiring + the demo guard
(scheduled for a real user, NOT for demo); distinct N/S/L counts (2 short
+ 1 live) so a short/live swap fails; extracted channelDetailPollMs with a
pure unit test of the poll-or-stop predicate.
- a11y: role="img" on the fully-synced charm so screen readers announce it.
- list_channels no longer computes the Normal/Shorts/Live aggregation the
frontend stopped reading when R14 dropped the N/S/L table column; the dead
ManagedChannel.count_* fields are gone too.
- Immediate "get full history" backfill now coordinates with the paced
scheduler via a small in-flight set: capped at 2 concurrent + per-channel
dedup, and run_deep_backfill skips a channel an immediate backfill owns —
killing the cursor race and bounding the quota-drain burst, without losing
the speed win.
- Add test_channel_backfill.py: the channelDetail N/S/L counts + the guard's
no-op / cap / scheduler-skip behaviour.
- Inline the syncedChannels useMemo (its dep is a fresh array each render, so
it never cached); fix the stale "~2-min ticks" comment (it's 10 minutes).
Clicking "get full history" now kicks an immediate background deep
backfill of that one channel (backfill_channel_now: own session, up to
~3000 videos in one pass, quota-guarded) instead of waiting for the
scheduler's paced 10-minute ticks (5 pages/channel/tick). The request
returns instantly and the channel page's live poll shows the count fill
in seconds. A very large channel's tail still falls to the scheduler
(deep_requested stays set).
Layering cleanup, no behaviour change (ruff clean backend+scripts, pytest 193):
- Invert the scheduler->routes dependency: reset_demo_state (+ its demo-seed
helpers) move from routes/admin.py to a new service module app/demo.py.
Both routes/admin.py and scheduler.py now import it from app.demo, so the
scheduler no longer reaches into the routes layer — its lazy import (the
routes<->scheduler cycle workaround) is gone, hoisted to a top-level import.
- Publish the private symbols that were imported across module boundaries (the
underscore convention was lying): feed._serialize -> serialize,
feed._to_tsquery_str -> to_tsquery_str, videos._insert_stubs -> insert_stubs,
videos._stub_from_playlist_item -> stub_from_playlist_item,
worker._uploader_url -> uploader_url, plex._shared._item_or_404 ->
item_or_404. Scoped renames — the 5 other route modules keep their own truly
private _serialize helpers.
- _release_asset moves from routes/downloads.py to app/downloads/service.py as
the public release_asset (asset bookkeeping is a service concern); the routes
call it via service.release_asset.
The worst one was, again, the previous round's own fix.
- Round 7 stopped awaiting the HLS sweep so startup could serve immediately — which
also made it run CONCURRENTLY with playback, and `sweep_orphans` snapshotted the
live-session set BEFORE listing the root and rmtree'd outside the lock. Since
`start_session` reuses a directory path for the same (key, offset, tag), a stale
name can become a live session at any moment. Two guards now: nothing whose mtime
is newer than this process's start is ever deleted, and the live check + rmtree
happen together under the lock, one directory at a time.
- The sweep task is awaited after cancel, so shutdown can't leave it pending.
- `_rate_limiter` used a truthiness test on its timestamp, so a `now()` of exactly
0.0 read as "never ran" — unreachable in production, but `now` exists to be
injected and a test clock starting at 0 is the obvious choice.
- The RSS total-outage error now carries the first underlying error: "all N channels
failed" is also what ONE dead feed id looks like on a small instance, and a red
card the user can't act on is its own kind of dishonest.
- The WebKit fullscreen handling moved into `lib/fullscreen` and PlexPlayer uses it
too — it had the same unprefixed-only reads in three places, including an Escape
branch that would have closed the whole player instead of leaving fullscreen.
- The `--max` CSS comment claimed `inset: 0` did the sizing; Tailwind's `w-full` is
still on the element and wins. Comment now states the real mechanism.
Verified in real Chrome (the pane can't composite or do native fullscreen):
- F fills the 1920x889 viewport; the exit pill renders top-right on the letterbox
band and overlaps NO YouTube control — the collision this round suspected does not
reproduce in this embed (its own buttons sit bottom-left / bottom-right).
- Four real ArrowDown presses while maximised: persisted volume 100 -> 80, with the
level flash visible on screen.
- A real click on the exit pill un-maximises and returns focus to the card.
- lib/fullscreen driven from a real click: enter (innerHeight 889 -> 1024), the
change listener fires exactly once per transition, exit returns to 889.
Backend suite 150 -> 158; the new sweep tests are mutation-checked, and they read
their cutoff from the filesystem rather than a clock (the container VM and the
bind-mounted host disagree by enough to make a clock-based assertion flaky).
Five of them sit where round 6 turned F from a Fullscreen API call into a CSS
maximise: the guards around it still asked `isFullscreen`, which that pivot made
permanently false.
- Arrow-key volume was dead in the maximised view: the scroll-deference checked
only `isFullscreenRef`, so the (now hidden but still scrollable) card kept
swallowing Up/Down. Both flags now count as "the video fills the screen".
Measured: 87px of scroll room on the focused card, ArrowDown moves 80 -> 75
and scrolls nothing.
- The maximised view had no way out once the pointer touched the video. Reaching
YouTube's controls means clicking into the cross-origin iframe, which takes
keyboard focus with it, and the re-arm paths (stage mouseleave, window focus)
need the pointer to leave the browser entirely while the stage fills it. So
the exit now lives on screen, in our DOM: a button that un-maximises AND pulls
focus back, re-arming every shortcut.
- WebKit fires only `webkitfullscreenchange`/`webkitFullscreenElement`, so on
Safari/iPadOS YouTube's own fullscreen never registered — no overlay yield, no
focus reclaim. One `fullscreenEl()` reader, both event spellings.
- The stage claimed `z-index: 9999`, the glass tuner's reserved level, for a job
that only needs to beat the modal chrome it is nested in (its siblings top out
at z-menu). Dropped to rail-level; nothing escapes the modal's stacking
context either way.
- `inset: 0` already sizes a fixed layer — the inherited `100vw`/`100vh`
over-constrained it, which is how a classic scrollbar gets a horizontal
overflow and a mobile URL bar hides the bottom edge (YouTube's control bar).
- The shortcut hint still promised "F: fullscreen" in both locales.
Backend, both "the fix stopped one layer short":
- The startup HLS sweep was awaited inside lifespan, so uvicorn still served
nothing until it finished — a thread doesn't help when nothing is listening
yet. Fire-and-forget task instead, cancelled on shutdown. Measured with 200
planted segments: "Application startup complete" now precedes "swept 1".
- An RSS poll where every channel failed returned normally, so the scheduler
recorded `ok` with the outage buried in the summary string. `failed == total`
now raises: a run that reached nothing is a failed run.
Suites: backend 147 -> 150.
- run_ffmpeg stops the process from ONE exit path (`except BaseException`), so
an exception out of on_progress (a DB write) can no longer orphan a live
ffmpeg after a 10s join on its pipes; _stop is now a no-op on a dead process
- both run_ffmpeg callbacks are throttled to ~1s (they were a DB round-trip per
output line: ~10^5 queries on a long re-encode), mirroring the download hook
- volume arithmetic extracted to lib/playerVolume with unit tests; a corrupt
level now falls back to the LAST GOOD one instead of full blast, and the
sanitising happens where the stored value enters
- RSS is back to two except clauses (the shared tail already sits after the try)
- new tests: callback-exception cleanup, the two throttles; the fake Popen grew
poll() and its wait count is now asserted
Mutation-checked: each new group goes red when its fix is reverted.
- Feed memoizes onClose (like Playlists already did): the inline closure re-ran
PlayerModal's keydown effect on every Feed render, which since the debounce
landed also flushed the volume write and re-stole focus
- the player reads its volume with readAccountMerged again — a partial stored
object made the level undefined -> NaN -> a persisted null; applyVolume also
refuses a non-finite level outright
- that read moved into a lazy useState initializer (was running per render)
- the two RSS except branches share one tail, so a counter can't drift again
- run_ffmpeg tests cover the SIGTERM->SIGKILL escalation and the lingering-
process path; dropped an assertion that only restated the fixture
- storage.ts documents the actual { volume } shape (0 IS muted)
- the sweep guard anchors the rating_key to digits: the round-2 widening had
degenerated to "anything ending in _<digits>" (backup_2024, release_10)
- RSS counts apply-side failures too, so a read-only database no longer reports
a wholly failed poll as "ok — new=0, failed=0"
- the player reads/writes its volume directly (readAccount/writeAccount): the
persisted-object hook rendered nothing and cost a second write per settle
- new tests: the sweep guard's accept/reject table, and run_ffmpeg's threading
(drain, cancel while silent, stall watchdog, stderr tail on a nonzero exit)
- the breaker sentinel is checked one way (isinstance) at all four sites
- run_rss_poll is typed dict[str, int]
All three new test groups were mutation-checked: reverting each fix turns them
red (or, for the cancel/stall pair, hangs — which is the bug itself).
- the volume keys no longer defer to a scrollable card while in fullscreen
(mirrored into a ref: the keydown handler is bound once and state would be stale)
- the debounced volume flush writes straight to storage; persisting inside a
setState updater is not guaranteed to run for an unmounting component
- the HLS sweep also matches the original {key}_{start} directory naming, which
is what the oldest leftovers on disk actually use
- run_rss_poll returns {new, failed} so an egress outage stops rendering as
"ok — 0" in the scheduler card and the audit log; /api/sync/rss reports it too
- drop the unused poll_rss_channel (it silently gained a new exception)
- _Breaker.run is generic, so a call site keeps its item-id type
- test helper instead of the generator-throw idiom
- HLS sweep only deletes directories matching the session-name shape; the root
is admin-configurable and may be a shared path
- playlist unwrap picks the first entry that actually downloaded, not entries[0]
- concat quoting keeps backslashes literal (ffmpeg treats them so inside '')
- ArrowUp/Down defer while the focused element can still scroll that way
- the staging fallback skips yt-dlp working files (.part-Frag/.ytdl/.temp/.fNNN)
- the boot HLS sweep runs off the event loop
- volume persistence is debounced (was a setItem per wheel notch) and a spin no
longer loses notches to the iframe's lagging getVolume
- _Breaker.run owns the whole open/call/record protocol; four call sites shrink
- should_prune extracted and unit-tested, plus RSS error-vs-empty tests
- the worker exits non-zero when the schema never lands
- never prune subscriptions on an empty fetch: one anomalous empty-but-200
response wiped every subscription (and its deep_requested flag) in one run
- push_playlist: stop after 5 consecutive write failures — a quota-dead or
scope-revoked account otherwise burns 50 units per remaining item
- RSS: raise RssError instead of returning [] on a transport/HTTP failure, so a
failed poll no longer stamps last_rss_at and a 404 feed stops looking healthy
- worker: exit when the schema never appears instead of "continuing" into a
crash one call later
- apply_channel_details: (branding.get("channel") or {}) so a "channel": null
in brandingSettings can't AttributeError-abort the enrich batch.
- topicLabels: drop empty labels so a malformed topic URL can't render a blank chip.
- fix: reserve the scrollbar gutter (scrollbar-gutter:stable) on the channel
page's scroll container, so switching between the tall Videos tab and the
short About tab no longer shifts the banner/avatar/buttons a few px sideways
(the vertical scrollbar was appearing/disappearing between the two tabs).
- About tab now shows Country (flag + localized name), Language, Topics
(topicCategories → readable chips), and Keywords (brandingSettings keywords
parsed into chips, quoted multi-word tags kept whole). country/language/topics
were already stored; keywords is new (migration 0055_channel_keywords, mapped
in apply_channel_details, returned by channel_detail).
- Discovery → channel page: the Channel-manager "Discover from playlists" tab now
links each channel name to its in-app channel page (ChannelLink onView), so a
discovered channel's About/videos can be inspected BEFORE subscribing (was
subscribe-only, plain text before).
Note: the channel info-card epic itself was already delivered in v0.19.0; this is
the About-tab enrichment follow-up + the header-shift fix. external_links stays
empty by design (YouTube removed the field from the Data API ~2023).
Verified each deferred per-subsystem item against current source, then fixed the
real ones (tradeoffs left as-is, see siftlode-ops/CODE-HYGIENE.md closeout):
- search BUG-3: don't finalise shorts_probed on un-enriched stubs (enrichment
failure/omitted rows) — restores the scheduler's enriched_at guard so a real
Short can't leak into the feed and never get reclassified.
- downloads GC: 4th pass reaps orphaned errored, fileless, unreferenced assets
(they carry no TTL, so the expiry passes never cleared them).
- downloads B6: quota/edit errors now return a structured {code,reason,limit}
the trilingual client localises, instead of hardcoded English + dot-decimal GB.
- channels BB1: reset-backfill re-arms deep sync on every subscriber (bulk update)
instead of 404ing when the admin isn't personally subscribed.
- channels BB2: enrich the stub on BOTH the normal and "already exists" desync
path (nest the insert try inside the client `with`).
- channels CB3: drop the redundant second _discovery_rows read (identity-mapped
rows are already enriched; re-sort in Python for the title tie-break).
- playlists PC1: read the live playlist once in push() and share it with plan_push
+ push_playlist (halves read-quota, closes the second TOCTOU window).
- playlists PC2/PC5: batch the cover thumbnails in one window query (was N+1);
rename combines count+duration into one aggregate + a single cover lookup.
- messages MB2: get_thread only resolves a messageable partner OR one we already
share a thread with (closes the user-enumeration oracle).
- messages MB3: push a live unread-count to the user's other tabs after mark-read.
- messages MC4: list_conversations uses DISTINCT ON + grouped COUNT instead of
loading the whole message history into memory.
- config AB3: per-spec allow_empty so smtp_user/youtube_api_proxy can be blanked
to disable them rather than snapping back to the env default.
- Extract runner.token_users(db): the "all users with a stored refresh token"
query was spelled 3× (get_service_user, run_subscription_resync,
sync_all_playlists). get_service_user now reuses it ([0]); sync_all_playlists
imports it from runner (no cycle — runner doesn't import playlists); the now-
unused OAuthToken import is dropped there.
- scheduler.py: _job("rss_poll", lambda db: run_rss_poll(db)) → _job("rss_poll",
run_rss_poll) — the lambda was dead indirection; all sibling jobs pass the
callable directly and _job calls fn(db).
Behavior-neutral. ruff clean, localdev boots, re-review clean.
- feed.py _filtered_query: drop the dead 2nd return element (status_expr was
used only internally for WHERE filters; all 3 callers discarded it as _status).
Now returns (query, rank_expr); fixed the stale docstring.
- youtube/client.py: extract _iter_playlist_items() — iter_my_playlist_video_ids
and iter_playlist_items_with_ids were near-identical playlistItems paging loops
(jscpd [173-187]≈[267-281]); both now map over the shared generator.
- sync/videos.py: extract _apply_video_batch() with an on_missing callback —
enrich_pending and refresh_live shared the fetch-map-apply skeleton, differing
only in the query and how they retire rows YouTube omits.
- models.py: add LIVE_OR_UPCOMING = ("live","upcoming"); replace the 4 duplicated
copies (feed.HIDDEN_LIVE, search._LIVE_HIDDEN, videos.py + channels.py inline).
Behavior-neutral. ruff clean on touched files, localdev boots, feed/worker healthy.
Machine-baseline harvest (ruff + knip), all tsc/parse-green, no runtime change:
- backend: remove 3 unused imports (channels/playlists/youtube) via ruff; drop the
unused `job` binding in unshare_download (keep the _own_job ownership guard call).
- frontend: remove `export` from 23 internally-used-only symbols (knip "unused
exports") to shrink the public surface; delete 2 genuinely-dead declarations
(PlexBrowseResult — leftover from the removed /browse route; WIDGET_TITLES —
hardcoded English titles superseded by i18n).
Held back for a decision (unused here = possibly-unwired, NOT dead — flagged, not
removed): e2ee.lock()/clearDevice() (security primitives never wired to logout / a
"forget device" feature) and loadDefaultViewFilters (App reimplements it inline — a
DRY issue). See siftlode-ops/CODE-HYGIENE.md.
_insert_stubs previously stored the raw title, so a brand-new video showed its unnormalized
title until enrichment caught up. Normalize (and stash original_title) at insert as well, so
every video-title write path is covered: stub insert, enrichment, live search, and the download
worker. Every newly imported feed video is normalized from the first insert.
Noisy YouTube titles are cleaned for display + storage, raw kept in videos.original_title:
- app/titles.normalize_title: strip emoji/symbols (keep accents), remove trailing SEO hashtag
clusters (keep numeric #3 episode markers), context-aware de-shout (mostly-ALL-CAPS titles ->
Title Case with an acronym whitelist + function-word lowercasing; otherwise only long all-caps
words), collapse repeated punctuation
- applied at enrichment (sync/videos.py) and in the download worker (ad-hoc yt-dlp titles);
catalog downloads inherit the normalized title automatically
- migration 0039: add original_title, preserve raw, rewrite title (generated search_vector
regenerates); reversible via original_title
Backfill on localdev: 122115/273417 titles normalized in ~2 min. Verified in the feed + on
real messy samples (emoji/de-shout/hashtags), accents + acronyms (PS5/AI/USA/PC) preserved.
- Live-search results stay ephemeral: the discovery-cleanup job now also reclaims un-kept
via_search videos (no watch state / not playlisted / channel not subscribed) after a grace
period (search_grace_days), and POST /api/search/clear discards a given result set 'as if
never added' (drops the user's search-finds + deletes the now-orphaned, un-kept videos).
Admin POST /api/admin/purge-discovery runs it on demand (grace 0).
- Count selector: GET /api/search/youtube gains a 'limit' — the free scrape source pages
through continuations until that many results are gathered (no manual load-more); the API
source stays one ≤50 page (cost).
- Per-user channel blocklist (migration 0034 blocked_channels): block/unblock/list endpoints;
blocked channels' videos are dropped from live search before ingest and hidden from the feed
/ Library / explore / channel page; explore refuses a blocked channel.
- New-first ordering: results you already have (subscribed channel, watched/in-progress/saved/
playlisted) sink below genuinely-new discoveries, preserving relevance within each group.
Adds the backend for a dedicated channel page + ephemeral browsing of un-subscribed
channels:
- migration 0033: channels.{total_view_count,published_at,banner_url,external_links,
from_explore}, videos.via_explore, explored_channels (per-user, grace-clocked).
- enrich channels with part=brandingSettings (banner/links) + statistics.viewCount +
snippet.publishedAt — no extra quota.
- GET /api/channels/{id}: About detail + this user's relationship; lazy-enriches the new
About fields (published_at sentinel).
- POST /api/channels/{id}/explore (require_human, quota-reserve guarded): records the
exploration, flags the channel ephemeral unless followed, ingests one page of uploads
(via_explore) + enriches; returns next_page_token for load-more.
- feed: per-explorer gate — a via_explore video is visible only to users who explored or
subscribe to its channel, so exploration never leaks into everyone's catalog.
- subscribe = keep: clears from_explore + via_explore on the channel's videos.
- scheduler explore_cleanup job + explore_grace_days config: hard-delete explored-but-
unkept channels and their untouched ephemeral videos after a grace period.
Makes the local search behave more like YouTube's — finding videos by the
uploader's own keywords or the query that surfaced them, not only words in the
title. A DB-generated, weighted search_vector (migration 0032) replaces the
title-only FTS index:
- keywords: the creator's snippet.tags (free — already in the snippet we fetch),
stored on enrich.
- search_terms: distinct live-search queries that surfaced the video (across all
users), appended by the search route — folds YouTube's relevance into local
search (a video YT returned for a query becomes findable by it even without a
title match), the user's own idea.
- description (truncated) for broad recall on the existing catalog.
Weighted title(A) > keywords+queries(B) > description(C) so ts_rank keeps title
hits on top. A plain GIN index on the generated column guarantees index use (no
expression/param matching). Verified on localdev: recall 146->213 for one query;
7 'eurovision' hits via the document but not the title; index scan confirmed.
- feed_columns() is the single feed-row projection, consumed by both /feed and the
playlist-detail query (was copy-pasted, drift risk on every new column).
- _replace_items_from_youtube() dedups the YouTube playlist-mirror block shared by
sync_user_playlists and repull_playlist.
- _next_playlist_position/_next_item_position/_add_item replace the append-position
idiom (x4) and the exists-then-insert blocks (x2).
Watch later became a built-in playlist, so "saved" is no longer a VideoState
status — the scan matched nothing and under-counted users impacted by a video
removal. The playlist loop already covers Watch later, so impact is now correct.
Route the local _now through the shared utils.now_utc.
Replace the leftover 'subfeed' name across logger names + log_config,
frontend localStorage keys, Postgres user/db/volume defaults in the
compose files, .env.example, config.py, backup/restore scripts and the
README. Pure rename; no behavioural change. localStorage keys move from
subfeed.* to siftlode.* (one-time UI-state reset is acceptable).
Register 8 more keys in the sysconfig registry (quota daily budget + backfill
reserve, recent-backfill window, shorts-probe params, enrich/autotag batch sizes)
and route their reads through the DB-override-or-env resolver at every call site
(quota.py, sync/runner.py, sync/videos.py, sync/autotag.py, sync/maintenance.py,
routes/scheduler.py). All read sites already had a db session in scope. Reads are
read-through (no cache), matching app.state; admin can tune them live, no redeploy.
The quota-attribution action keys were inconsistent (mixed verbs, ad-hoc names,
English-only labels). Introduce a QuotaAction constants holder (one source of
truth), rename every attribution call site to it, and add migration 0020 to
rename historical quota_events.action values. The display label now resolves
from i18n (quotaActions.<key>, EN/HU/DE) instead of a hard-coded English map.
Scheduler job ids and progress phase labels are a separate namespace and are
left untouched.
Every background job now reports progress, so the dashboard can show a live
bar for any run (not only enrich/backfill/shorts/maintenance): rss_poll and
subscriptions (runner), autotag, and playlist_sync gained progress.report
calls over their loops.
RSS polling now fetches the channel feeds concurrently (16 workers) instead
of one-at-a-time — a slow/unreachable feed no longer blocks the rest, cutting
a full poll of the catalogue from minutes to seconds. Feed fetches are
network-bound and run in the pool; DB inserts stay on the session's thread
(SQLAlchemy sessions aren't thread-safe), applied as each fetch completes.
Split the DB-write half of poll_rss_channel into apply_rss_feed so the fetch
and apply phases compose cleanly.
Expose the maintenance job's rolling re-validation batch (videos re-checked per
run) as an admin control on the Scheduler dashboard, stored in app_state
(migration 0018; NULL = the env/config default). The job reads the effective
value each run via a state helper, clamped to a sane range. Trilingual.
Add per-job "Run now" buttons and a "Start all now" button to the admin Scheduler
dashboard (admin-gated endpoints). Triggers run the job in a background thread
independent of its interval, refusing a concurrent run (409). While running, the
long jobs (maintenance, enrich, backfill, shorts) report live progress through a
decoupled contextvar sink, shown as a progress bar on the job row via the existing
4s poll. A manually-triggered run posts a completion notification to the triggering
admin's inbox (scheduled runs stay silent to avoid spam); the inbox renders the
"scheduler" type trilingually from type+data. While here, give the maintenance job
its missing dashboard label/description in all three languages.
Add a daily maintenance/validation job that detects videos which can't be played
anywhere and retires them safely. Two phases: re-check already-flagged videos
(recover if available again, else hard-delete once the grace period elapses,
cascading to states/playlist items), and a rolling re-validation of the
least-recently-checked currently-available videos that flags newly-unplayable
ones (hidden from the feed immediately via unavailable_since).
Detection is ~free: a video missing from the videos.list response is
deleted-or-private; an `upcoming` premiere >2 days past its scheduled start that
never went live is abandoned. A still-live broadcast is kept (legit 24/7 stream).
Enrichment now also fetches part=status to populate the status columns. Grace is
7 days for removed videos, none for abandoned. Before deleting, affected users
get one batched notification (never per-video). Interval is admin-tunable via the
Scheduler dashboard; batch size and grace are config. Quota-attributed to the
system and bounded by the same backfill reserve as the other jobs.
enrich_pending only touches enriched_at IS NULL, so a video first seen
while live was stamped live + duration-null and never revisited — staying
'live' with no duration forever after the broadcast ended. Add refresh_live
(run after each enrich pass) that re-fetches anything still live/upcoming,
plus just-ended was_live videos that haven't got their duration yet, until
they settle. Cheap: videos.list is 1 unit per 50 ids.
The session has autoflush off, so recompute_dirty's query read the last-committed
state, not the current request's pending item/order edits — so the first reorder
after a sync compared against itself and missed dirty, and only the next edit showed
it. Flush pending changes before computing the current fingerprint. Verified: a swap
now flips dirty immediately, and reverting to the original clears it.
Store a SHA-256 of each playlist's name + ordered video ids as last synced from /
pushed to YouTube (migration 0013, backfilled for already-clean linked playlists).
'dirty' is now recomputed on every edit by comparing the current fingerprint to that
baseline instead of being stickily set true. So manually restoring the original order
(or undo back to it) clears dirty on its own — the Reset to YouTube button disappears
and no YouTube read is needed. Baseline is set on read-sync, repull (reset), and a
clean push; a missing baseline counts as dirty (unknown YT state). Verified the
migration's fingerprint matches the app's runtime fingerprint exactly.
The in-session undo/redo is lost when switching playlists, leaving no way to undo
local edits to a YouTube-linked list afterwards. Add a per-playlist 'Reset to YouTube'
action (shown when a linked playlist is dirty) that force-repulls that single playlist
from YouTube, replacing its items/order/name and clearing dirty — even though the bulk
read-sync skips dirty playlists. Backend: repull_playlist() + POST /api/playlists/
{id}/revert-youtube (read-scope gated). Confirm dialog (destructive). Trilingual.
Mirrors (source='youtube') were read-only; per the original two-way design they can
now be edited locally (add/remove/reorder/rename) and pushed back. The read-sync
skips a dirty mirror so it won't clobber unpushed edits; a successful push clears
dirty and lets the mirror refresh. _mark_dirty now covers any YouTube-linked list
(exported local or mirror), and rename marks dirty too. push/delete no longer reject
mirrors. Push reconciles the title as well (cheap playlists.list compare, then
playlists.update only if changed) so a local rename doesn't revert on the next pull.
Frontend: editable = not-built-in (was also excluding mirrors); rows/reorder enabled
for all owned lists; AddToPlaylist popover lists mirrors too (with a YT marker); the
origin chip now reads 'edits sync back'. Trilingual.
Local 'user' playlists (not Watch later, not YouTube mirrors) can now be pushed
to YouTube: create a new playlist on first push, else reconcile membership + order
so YouTube matches local (local wins). plan_push computes a dry-run estimate
(inserts/deletes/reorders + quota units + divergence) read from the live YouTube
state; push refuses if the estimate exceeds the remaining daily quota so a big
playlist can't strand half-pushed. Reorder uses an insertion-sort move count that
matches what executes. Edits to a linked playlist set dirty; a successful push
clears it. DELETE accepts on_youtube to also delete the playlist on YouTube. The
read-sync now skips YouTube playlists already owned by a local export, avoiding
duplicate read-only mirrors.
Mirror each user's own YouTube playlists into local source='youtube' playlists,
one-way (YT -> local). New client methods iter_my_playlists / iter_my_playlist_video_ids
(OAuth, so private playlists work); sync/playlists.py reconciles the mirror (matching YT
order) and ingests any playlist videos not in the shared catalog yet (with stub channels).
POST /api/playlists/sync-youtube for manual sync (read-scope gated, per-user quota) plus a
scheduler job (playlist_sync_minutes, default 6h) that syncs all read-scope users. YouTube's
Watch Later / History are not API-accessible and are never synced.
A channel whose stored uploads already meet or exceed YouTube's advertised
video_count holds its whole history, but backfill_done could stay false forever
when the deep cursor never reached the end (e.g. a small channel that was never
deep-requested, so the demand-driven deep job never ran). Such channels nagged
as 'needs full history' despite having every video. Add reconcile_full_history()
(idempotent, no quota) and run it at the end of each recent/deep backfill cycle
so backfill_done self-heals.
When recent backfill stopped partway through a page (age cutoff or count cap),
it stored the *next* page token as the deep-backfill cursor, so the older items
remaining on that same page were collected by neither pass — a channel could
report backfill_done while silently missing a band of videos right around the
365-day cutoff. Now resume deep from the page we stopped on (re-fetched; inserts
are idempotent). Verified: Pánczél went 200 -> 209 stored (= full uploads
playlist) after re-backfill.
