- Uploads: one at a time per user and ten an hour, each refused only after its body arrived;
the history read an entry at a time (32 MiB cap), a Watch later list capped at YouTube's 5000,
a user's kept videos at 200k; any unreadable shape is a 422, not a 500.
- Quota: Watch later lookups stop at the backfill reserve and at a per-user daily share; what is
not asked about waits, known videos still go in, and the shorts job retries the rest.
- Staging and settling share one per-user advisory lock (no deadlock); a run settles only the
rows it read, so a row staged meanwhile is never called gone.
- A failed run's notice names a translated failure, never the upstream's text.
- The status says when an import is queued; the page watches it to its end even when left, then
reads the feed, its counts and the playlists again.
- Settings: one live region, the zone kept (unavailable) while a run goes, focus handed back,
a missed drop kept from the browser, an oversize file refused before it is sent.
- Scheduler and run lists show Takeout runs by the importing user.
The import's notice reaches a user who may not see the Scheduler, an
admin page, yet its link opened it. It now opens Settings › Account,
where the import's status is; any other run still opens the Scheduler.
The job id is held to the server's by the backend-ids contract. The
notice's Hungarian names the list as the app does elsewhere.
Backend
- A run's outcome write sits outside the job's own try: a database blip after a run that
succeeded no longer records it as failed (the row waits for the next start's sweep).
- An interrupted run keeps what it spent (the sweep sums its quota rows, as finish does).
- The Scheduler's ad-hoc row says running while any backfill runs, not only the newest.
- recent_runs reads each job's last runs off its index instead of ranking the whole table.
- An interval change is stored with its audit row in one transaction, then rescheduled.
- One API instance per database is the stated contract (.env.example, jobruns).
- Turning full history on for a channel already complete records no run.
- Migration 0109 round-trips interrupted and ad-hoc runs; the run words' DB CHECKs are
test-held to the enums; the account filter is one helper for the four activity reads.
- An audit row says how many of its request's log lines are still kept.
Frontend
- An "All" period reaches every row still kept (runs and admin actions outlive 90 days).
- Back/Forward is followed in place by the server log: a closing dialog no longer turns
Live off; a pivot still opens a fresh log.
- Runs moved over from the audit log read their one-liner in the reader's language.
- Filter choices or accounts that failed to load say so beside the filters, with a retry.
- An old server-log link keeps its account, text and range; a remembered retired page
opens its tab.
- A request whose lines are gone says so instead of linking to an empty list.
- The log lines and the history rows share one row frame, and the server log one list
frame with the other tabs; an empty list is announced; each day's quota is readable.
An interval override was a row of its own table beside the one store every other admin knob uses; it
is now the `job_interval_<job>` sysconfig key (migration 0110 copies them over and drops the table).
The Scheduler page stays its one editor: the Configuration page and the setup wizard neither list nor
write those keys, since a write there would skip the reschedule.
Each ConfigSpec now states `applies` (required, no default). Every key is `live`, held by a scan that
finds no read at import time; a `restart` key is refused until the page can say so. A second scan
requires a reader for every key on the Configuration page — `sponsorblock_default` had none since it
was added, so it leaves the registry, the translations and the store.
A row's one dot said how the LAST run went, and an interrupted run fell through to "idle" — a grey dot
that read as "no run recorded". The row now leads with its last three runs, newest first, each named
for a screen reader and in its tooltip (how it went, when, who started it); an interrupted run is a
ring, set apart from a skipped run and a failure, and its line says the server restarted under it.
A channel's full-history backfill gets its own "Ad-hoc runs" block: its runs, its channel and what
it fetched, no interval and no run button — it needs its target. AD_HOC_JOBS names every such job;
the backend-id contract holds their names in both languages, and run_ad_hoc refuses any other id.
yt-dlp asks for a bug report on an extraction failure it did not expect: the site answered in a way its extractor does not read (measured on a TikTok link: fails on every attempt under yt-dlp 2026.07.04, downloads under 2026.08.19). That failure read as "Something went wrong" with no retry; it is now its own category, site_changed, with a Retry in the failure window. A contract test holds every failure category to its copy in both languages.
/api/files is the library's home: list a user's done files (by folder, searched, sorted, or the
ones shared with them), rename / move / keep / delete a file, make, rename and delete own folders
(a deleted folder's files go back to their source folders), and set how long any folder keeps a
file — done files shift by the difference, never closer than the GC's warning window.
An upload can name its folder (an own folder or Uploads), checked before the body is read and again
before the file lands; it is hashed while it streams, and any file can be hashed on first ask. The
download says the hash (Repr-Digest) once it is known; a new file at an asset's path forgets it.
Uploads, deletes, keeps, moves and folder changes are audited (ids only). The fileless "expired"
rows of the old retention are deleted by migration 0103: an expired file now leaves the library.
The shared route helpers moved to routes/files.py; the old /api/downloads library routes delegate
to the new ones until the client moves over.
- The cut file is measured against what its owner has left, for a YouTube range (whose fetch never
reads yt-dlp's size ceiling) and for a Plex clip (which fetches nothing), before the fetch and
again before it is placed; a refusal leaves the asset pending for a Retry.
- A silent Plex file is cut silent; a file the probe cannot read says so.
- A second job on a failed or renamed clip gets the same YouTube diagnosis and the fetched title.
- The "too long" refusal names the server's cap; a contract test holds the client's copies of the
clip limits to clip.py; the shipped player clients are pinned against the installed yt-dlp.
- One HDR transfer set and one rating_key lookup; job status words from JobStatus; the display-name
guard sees subscript writes and the clip route; stale comments and types follow the clip job.
An optional crop in clip mode: a Crop toggle puts a frame on the picture (free, 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1;
the whole picture stays the default). The frame is sent in fractions of the box it was drawn in,
with that box's shape; the worker fits the real picture into the box by its display aspect (sample
aspect and rotation aware), drops the part over the bars, and crops first in the filter chain. A
frame covering the whole box is no crop at all, and one off the picture is refused by name.
The crop frame is a ui primitive (CropFrame) shared with the video editor, keyboard-operable.
YouTube: the wide side panel shuts while clipping and comes back after; maximised, the clip panel
docks in the stage. Plex: the picture sits above the clip panel so the frame lies on it.
The backend refuses a clip with a structured reason, but the client showed every one as the generic
"couldn't make the clip": each reason now has its own message in both languages, held to the
backend's reasons in both directions by the contract test. A segmented toggle's and the priority
stepper's buttons had no type, so inside a form one of them submitted it.
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.
The demo account — one shared user that whitelisted emails entered from
the login page, reset on a schedule — goes end to end (owner decision,
E34): demo.py and the reset job, users.is_demo and demo_whitelist
(migration 0098 deletes the demo user, its audit rows, the reset job's
override and notices, then drops the column and table; the downgrade
restores the empty schema), the /auth/demo entry, the admin whitelist and
reset, the Demo tab, the banner, the login page's "Try the demo", and
every is_demo branch in routes, userscope, scheduler and the UI.
require_human only ever refused the demo account, so its 87 uses become
current_user (owner-approved); require_write_scope keeps its own check.
The login page's "or" divider now shows only beside the Google button:
without the demo entry under it, an instance without Google would have
said "or" to nothing.
A contract test (removedFeatures) fails on the word anywhere in the
backend, frontend, e2e or scripts — seen red on a planted hit. Size
ceilings tightened for the modules that shrank; admin.py is back under
the limit.
E32 review round 1 (F3–F6).
- Channels' open-row store and the chat dock use lib/store's createStore instead of a hand-rolled
listener set (the chat dock gets a test of its own).
- The Plex backdrop reads prefers-reduced-motion through useMediaQuery; the query string is one
constant (REDUCED_MOTION) for the hook and the carousel's one-off read.
- A link-restored collection filter showed its raw rating_key in the picker while the titles
loaded: usePlexCollectionTitles now says it is pending, the picker draws a placeholder
(labelsPending, as the channel picker does) and so does the chip row.
- The "deleted tag" rule was written twice with two i18n keys and had drifted: the channel manager
showed NO chip for a pick while the tag list loaded, or ever after a failed load, while the pick
still narrowed the table. One rule now (lib/tagPicks), one key (common.deletedTag); the manager's
row shows every pick, as a placeholder while loading and as its id after a failure.
- audit log: a job run named from its result data (nested phases too), a skipped run says so, a
secret's reset reads as a reset, choices named as Configuration names them, interval / batch /
counts localized; the inbox shares the same jobRunText
- HU: remux is "Közvetlen közvetítés" (it shared "Közvetlen lejátszás" with direct play); backfill is
behúzás, enrich is dúsítás, collection is kollekció, the allow-list is fehérlista; the last
"jobnak" / "transzkódolás"; a test holds the options of one choice to distinct names
- contract: every skipped / reason word a job returns is named in both languages
- person page: the bio wait is timed from the open and a failing ask stops the polling; ClampedText
(ui) shared with the collection page, whose short summary lost its dead More
- a playlist names season 0 the Specials; the channel re-slot compares in the reader's alphabet; an
invite's date is in the admin's language; the language-ordered lists are asked again once a
language switch is saved (saveLanguage)
- poster grids' column minimum in rem; lint refuses minmax(Npx,…)
- lib/vocab + the `vocab` locale area: TMDB crew jobs and departments, auto-tags (D1 A: the data
stays English, the catalog is named at its one source, useTags), built-in download profiles,
YouTube topics; held key-for-key to the backend's own lists by backendIds.contract.
- Countries by ISO code: TMDB parse stores {code, name}; rows stored before are coded from TMDB's
own country list in one request (run_enrich); Intl names them, historic codes (YU, SU, XI…)
from the catalog.
- Player tracks named from the language tag, forced/SDH flags and codec tail, not Plex's
server-language displayTitle; no invented "Audio N" on the server.
- Download lifecycle notices (shared / expiring / expired / evicted) named from data; the share
notice carries the title.
- Scheduler: the job result rides along as data and is named per key (dashboard + run notice).
- Invite status named; a render crash's notice no longer shows the engine's English message.
- Fix: YouTube links …/wiki/Humour, the tagger looked for "Humor" — Comedy never came from a topic.
- The palette launcher's name replaced its visible "Jump to…" (and the key cap's its "Ctrl K"):
a voice-control "click Jump to" matched nothing (WCAG 2.5.3). Each name contains its text now.
- SegmentedToggle's `title` was only a tooltip on a non-focusable box — the live search's "how
many per batch" hint reached no keyboard or screen-reader user. It is the group's accessible
description, standalone and captioned alike.
- The unused-key contract let a template like `card.${status}` cover its whole namespace, which hid
five dead keys (deleted). Dynamic keys are matched by shape (`editor.*.hint`); a bare namespace
shape covers nothing, and the audit/quota namespaces are now held both ways by backendIds.
- CLAUDE.md's "FE control" row matches the lint rule it cites; each no-restricted-syntax entry has
its reason directly above it.
~150 HTTPExceptions carried a hand-written English sentence as their detail,
shown verbatim under the Hungarian UI — in the blocking error dialog and on
every inline surface that printed HttpError.detail (sign-in, setup wizard,
change password, the passphrase gate, live search). Four also quoted an
upstream exception's text back to the user.
- app/refusal.py: `refused(status, reason, **params)` → {code: "refused",
reason, …params}; localizeDetail translates errors.refused.<reason> with the
params interpolated. "Unknown X" 404s use the existing not_found(what).
- sysconfig.set_value raises InvalidSetting (reason + bounds) instead of an
English ValueError; the three writers answer it through setting_refused.
- The Plex connection/write/image failures log what the upstream said and
answer a reason; the search scraper's failure is logged and answered as
youtube/unavailable (it crashed refusal_reason before).
- HttpError.detail now only ever holds a translated reason: a string detail
(only the framework's own can remain) is left out, so reading .detail is
safe everywhere — including destructured, the hole the raw-detail source
scan could not see. That scan and its five-file exception list are gone.
- Enforced: test_http_details.py fails on any HTTPException with a sentence
for a detail; the contract test requires every refused reason and every
not_found "what" in both languages, and no key for one that is gone.
- local/jsx-comment-text: a // inside JSX children renders as text; the rule
is ten lines in eslint.config.js rather than eslint-plugin-react's ~1800
lockfile lines.
move_item checked "already in the target?" and then re-parented without a
lock, so a second tab's add or the scheduler's YouTube merge committing the
same video in between hit uq_playlist_video and answered a raw 500. The
re-parent now runs in a savepoint and a conflict falls back to the
already-present outcome. The target is touched only when the row landed in
it (an untouched list was promoted in the rail's "recently changed" sort),
and _touch stamps the database clock like the mixin's own onupdate.
The canonical-patterns table names owned_or_404 against ad-hoc ownership
helpers; six were left (_own_playlist, _own_playlist_or_404, _own_view,
_own_tag, notifications._owned, downloads._own_job), two of them
hand-rolled with a bare English 404. All call sites now use owned_or_404,
and the download/link/notification 404s are structured like the rest. The
contract test reads every "what is gone" the routes name, and the YouTube
refusal reasons, and requires both languages to name each.
log_level, search_source, download_layout and the transcode hw/preset
were typed by hand, and every consumer carried its own guess at what a
typo meant. The value set is now a Literal in config.py: pydantic
rejects a bad env value at boot (any letter case accepted), sysconfig
refuses a bad override and derives the admin picker's options from the
same Literal, and the consumers read the value as-is.
The Configuration page renders a choice key as a segmented bar, or a
dropdown past six options, with translated option names. Its tabs now
follow the registry's order instead of a hand-kept copy that had
already dropped the explore group.
A single-choice FilterSelect now opens on the option in use: in the
browser it could land on the first row instead.
A failed Facebook download read "Download failed": yt-dlp words the login wall
(18+ reel, closed group) as "Cannot parse data", which no category matched.
Measured on dev with the owner's cookie before writing a rule — the same text is
the login wall without a cookie and a refused cookie with one.
- errors.diagnose(msg, url, cookie_attached) tries a host-scoped catalog first
(all-of markers, cookie state, link fragment) and falls back to the category.
First entries: facebook.login_wall, facebook.cookie_rejected,
facebook.group_post_video. The module doc is the recipe for the next entry.
- download_jobs.error_detail (0084) + backfill of the stored Facebook parse
failures that were unknown.
- The pipeline's failure branch passes the link and whether the cookie went
with it; resume and redownload clear code and detail (redownload never
cleared error_code).
- A job meeting an already-failed asset got the text but no code, so it read
"Download failed" where the first job said why. It is diagnosed again, with
the cookie state from credentials.is_authed_asset (now shared with the
cookie gate); the redacted network text classifies back to network.
- FE: failCopyKeys gives the row and the failure window one lookup — catalog
copy, else the category. Copy in EN and HU; a contract test pins every
backend entry to both locales.
Whole-epic deep-review of E11 (18 raised, 12 kept; B and G refuted, four latent test-hardening notes dropped),
plus the admin refusal copy gap round 1 surfaced.
- A context menu opened from a card the keyboard is on gives the focus back to the card. floating-ui returns
focus through the opener's first tabbable descendant even when handed a ref, so for a non-tabbable opener the
surface restores it itself (measured in Chrome: j, Shift+F10, Escape left it on the thumbnail link).
- Back finds a named list (a rail) by its name: a rail that appeared above it after the cache expired sent the
focus into the wrong rail. An unnamed list is matched only when the page has the same number of lists.
- The slot kept for a removed item is forgotten once focus moves on to page content (search, a chip), so j after
new results starts at the first visible item; a menu or dialog opened from the item keeps it.
- The list keys reach the cheat sheet only while a list has an item.
- A j-focused card root is a named group while it holds the focus.
- The channel page's Block and Hide toggles keep the focus while their request runs.
- A split export that fails part-way says how many clips were added and deselects them, so a retry adds only
the rest.
- Config save, the one-click share link and "log out other sessions" report failures with their reason.
- VirtualGrid uses the one scroll-parent walk listNav measures against.
- Admin refusals (activate, resend, invite, set-password link) say why in HU and EN instead of "try again";
the email-off special cases collapse into that one reason. The contract reads the codes from localizeDetail.
HU copy points to Konfiguráció → E-mail / SMTP; HU "unreachable" matches the EN change of round 1.
Owner answers to the E11 S5 raises (2026-09-13): 1 → A, 2 → "Feed" in every language, 3 → translate the
proxy label and fix every config key missing in BOTH languages ("maintenance", "tmdb" — old bugs).
Focus across a view change (1-A). Opening a Plex title from Home's rail, a channel from the Channels
table or a title from a Plex grid switches the page or the sub-view, which unmounts the list; Back used
to hand focus to <body>, so the next `j` started over at the top. The YouTube player (an overlay)
already restored onto the card.
- `lib/listNav`: `navPosition()` (list's place in reading order, the page's list count, item index)
and `restoreNavPosition()`: focuses the item once the page has as many lists on screen as when it was
left, polls on a timer (a hidden tab runs no animation frames), gives up after 2 s or at once when
something already holds focus, focuses without scrolling (the scroll restore owns the position).
- `lib/history`: `rememberNavPosition()` stamps `sfNav` onto the entry being left and returns the state
without it (a new entry must not inherit it); one popstate listener restores and spends the stamp,
so a later landing on the same entry (an overlay closing over it) cannot pull focus to an old item.
- Called before every view push: `setPage`, `openChannel`, `enterYtSearch`, `useHistorySubview.open`,
the Channels tab push. `navPosition.wiring.contract.test` fails on any `history.pushState(` without
it (the overlay stack's own push is the one exemption).
"Feed" (2). The module is "Feed" in both languages: every "hírfolyam" in the Hungarian UI (≈45 strings,
suffixed: Feedből, Feeded, Feedben…) and the prose "feed" in English that means the module ("your
Feed", "Hide from Feed"); "RSS feed" keeps its meaning. The welcome email says it too.
Backend ids without a name (3). The Configuration page showed `maintenance`, `tmdb`,
`maintenance_revalidate_batch`, `download_upload_max_bytes`, `audit_retention_days`, `plex_overlay_map`,
`tmdb_api_key` and `tmdb_language` as raw identifiers — the lookup falls back to the id, and the i18n
parity test stayed green because both languages missed the same keys. Added labels + hints (EN/HU),
the two groups (and their tab order), the missing `scheduler.jobDesc.demo_reset`, removed the stale
`plex_sync_interval_min` field, and "YouTube API kimenő proxy". `i18n/backendIds.contract.test` reads
`sysconfig.SPECS`, `scheduler.JOB_INTERVALS` and the audit/quota action enums from the backend sources
and fails on an id without its name in either language, or a name left for an id the backend dropped.
