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.
114 exception handlers neither logged nor re-raised. The defect was never that
they are silent — plenty of them should be — it is that their silence said
nothing, so nobody could tell a decision from an oversight. Each one has now been
read. 44 got a line; the other 70 carry `# silent-ok: <why>`.
What the silent ones had been hiding, in the cases that got a line:
- A failed ffprobe sent every HDR file down the 8-bit pipeline, so playback
degraded to a software transcode with nothing saying why; a failed audio probe
collapsed a multi-audio file to one track and the player showed no language
picker; a failed first-PTS probe left subtitles seconds out of sync.
- A subtitle sidecar that existed but would not parse made a PARTIAL track read as
complete, permanently — the viewer loses every cue past the cached window.
- An unreadable crop/trim/cut-list in an edit spec was dropped, so the clip came
out uncropped, untrimmed, or shorter than the one the user built.
- A dropped `max_height` downloaded at best quality against an explicit cap.
- A failed videos.list enrich made every candidate undroppable-from-judgement and
therefore dropped: a working search rendered as "no results".
- An unusable password hash answered as "wrong password", locking the owner out
and telling them they mistyped; a rotated TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY turned every
stored token into "not connected".
- A stored admin setting that would not coerce fell back to the env default while
the settings page went on showing the saved value.
- A one-off InnerTube config failure pinned the whole process to the hard-coded
fallback key, and searches return nothing when that goes stale.
- The HLS sweep reported 0 swept — like a clean run — when it could not list its
own root, leaving every crashed session's segments on disk forever.
Four of them are counted rather than logged per item (dropped cues, dropped cut
list segments, unreclaimed GC files) and reported once per call, because the
alternative is one line per cue over a whole subtitle track.
ruff gains S110 and BLE001. Every blind `except Exception` that remains carries
`# noqa: BLE001 — <why>`, which is the point: catching everything is sometimes
right, and always worth a sentence. plex/sync.py's three best-effort backfill
catches now keep the traceback — a blind catch over a batch that fetches AND
writes could be Plex, the database or our own bug, and `%s` of the exception told
them apart badly. main.py's boot-time log-level read likewise.
logs.event's `code` is positional-only now: `event("x", code=...)` was a TypeError,
and `code` is exactly the word a caller reaches for when the thing that failed has
one of its own.
tests/test_swallowed_exceptions.py is the wider rule ruff cannot see: a handler
that neither logs nor re-raises must say why. Both cases mutation-checked — a
marker removed and a log line removed each fail it, naming the handler.
E5 S6 backend half (no migration — the *_hu / rich columns exist from S5a/S5b).
Language-aware serving (?lang=hu serves the HU overlay twin, EN fallback per row):
- query.py: column pickers title_col / genres_col / vector_col; field_recheck and
meta_filter_conds take `lang`. DISPLAY/FILTER pickers coalesce(*_hu, *) (EN
fallback); SEARCH pickers use the raw *_hu column mirroring the generated
search_vector_hu (coalesce to '', not EN) so the field recheck stays a strict
subset of the GIN vector (the S2 invariant). genres_col type_coerces the coalesce
to JSONB so the GIN `.contains` survives.
- browse.py: `lang` param on /library, /facets, /item, /show (validated to en|hu).
unified_library title/vector/rank/field-scope + meta filters are language-aware
for both the movie and show branches; facets unnest the active-language genre
vocabulary (jsonb_typeof guard kept); detail endpoints serve HU title/summary/
genres/show_title with EN fallback. Episodes stay EN (not overlay-localized).
IMDb-only rating (folded-in S5b review #5):
- detail.py rich_detail: drop the audienceRating/rating fallback → imdb_rating is
NULL when there's no imdb:// Rating entry (stop mislabelling a Plex audience score
as IMDb). item_detail now also serves the `rating` column (audience score;
show_detail already did) so the UI can show it when there's no IMDb score.
Tests: test_plex_lang.py (HU title serving + EN fallback, language-specific facet
vocabulary, genre-filter language matching, item_detail lang + rating split);
test_plex_detail updated for IMDb-only. DB-lane suite 293 passed / 2 skipped; ruff clean.
Persist the info-page rich fields that were previously read LIVE from plex.metadata() on every view —
imdb_rating (IMDb-specific, vs `rating`=audienceRating), imdb_id, tagline, and full_cast
([{name,role,thumb}]) — onto plex_items/plex_shows, and serve the detail endpoints from the row.
- migration 0065: ADD imdb_rating/imdb_id/tagline/full_cast (nullable → no rewrite/lock, unlike 0064);
NULL people_enriched_at on movie/show rows so the existing cast backfill re-fetches each once and
fills the new columns.
- new app/plex/detail.py: rich_detail(meta) (moved out of browse._rich_meta so sync + serve share one
parser) + apply_rich_detail(row, meta); wired into _enrich_people_batch and the info-page lazy fill.
- item_detail: movies serve cast/IMDb/tagline/genres from the row and keep plex.metadata(markers=True)
ONLY for markers + audio/subtitle streams (so detail survives a live-Plex outage); episodes (never
enriched) still parse detail from that live meta.
- show_detail: serves cast/IMDb from the row; `related` stays live best-effort and also lazily fills a
not-yet-enriched show.
- tests: rich_detail/apply_rich_detail parsing + persistence, backfill stamping, item_detail
outage-resilience + lazy fill + episode-live, show_detail row serving. Full suite 285 pass / 2 skip;
migration verified reversible (up→down→up).
Precondition for S6's pure-DB language-aware serving.
