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.
E32 S4 — the burn-down from 29 skipped functions to 1:
- try/finally (26 sites): the cleanup runs after a try/catch; steps that return early moved into
their own function (push, the setup wizard's next, the share page's unlock).
- A conditional, loop or optional call inside a try skips the function too, and react-hooks/todo
does not see it: the value is computed before the try, or the try lives in a module-level helper
(config writes, clip queueing, clipboard, frame counts, seekable end, YouTube player times).
- The two exhaustive-deps suppressions are gone. useYtProgress takes its per-item snapshot through
one effect event, read once when the player is built; PlexPlayer's unmount relies on the
leaving-the-item cleanup for the generation bump it duplicated.
- What the skips hid: PlexPlayer's 17 render-phase ref writes (useLatest), its tracks popover alias,
the loadSession self-reference (declared early, set after commit); PlayerModal's session-position
read during render (now where the player starts), navRef/modeRef writes, and a description helper
that ran a ref-carrying callback during render (now PlayerDescription); SavedViewsProvider's
latest-cfg ref, and its setState in the seed effect (preferSticky now prefers the starred default
among same-filter views, so the seed needs no sticky write — test seen red on the old helper).
- A store's hook was called `use()`, which the compiler does not know as a hook: inside the newly
compiled usePlaylistActions it was memoized, ran on the first render alone, and the playlist rail
threw "rendered fewer hooks" on its second render. Renamed to `useValue()` everywhere; the old
contract test claimed the call was safe inside any `use…` function, which was false — replaced by
a render test that is red under the old name.
- PlexPlayer's palette ref was written and never read since the Backspace guard moved to the layer
stack: removed.
react-hooks/refs is back at error with no exception. The ratchet lists only VirtualGrid
(IncompatibleLibrary) and pins both players as compiled. No size or complexity ceiling was raised.
- A13: with Plex off, the Home shelf and the hero's comfort tier go YouTube-only like the rails
beside them (owner's call: hide the tiles). The pins are kept; GET /pins still lists them.
- Reorder deals the listed pins into the slots they already hold, so a partial list (hidden Plex
pins, a stale tab) no longer puts two pins on one position; repeats are ignored.
- A21: a comfort hero carries `pinned_from`, the shelf entry it was resolved from; its menu acts on
that pin, so a pinned show's next episode offers "Unpin" instead of creating a second pin.
- B12: the palette's "Meglepetés" asks for the surprise tier (the next press leading with it); the
rotation carries on from there.
- B13: the surprise token names the history entry it was requested for (minted by setPage's new
`then`, after the push) and is dropped on any other entry, so a navigation that never mounted
Home cannot replay it later.
S4's reachability half. Home already led the nav order; what was missing was every
way IN other than the rail.
- Settings → Appearance → Startup: "Start on Home", the documented escape hatch for
the landing override. Deliberately still localStorage and not a server pref —
`loadInitialPage` answers before /api/me lands, and a landing module decided after
the first paint is a visible jump. Its two stored values are now ONE exported
constant, so the writer and the boot-time reader cannot drift on a magic string.
- The command palette gets "Meglepetés" / "Surprise me": it navigates to Home and
rerolls the hero on arrival. No second "Mit nézzek?" row beside it — the Home
module row already matches that phrase through its descriptive title.
- A global Shift+W jumps to Home. A chord, not a bare `w`: the Plex player binds bare
letters and `w` sits on `s`, so a blind reach for the subtitle key would have thrown
a viewer out of the film.
The palette's request crosses a lazy module boundary, so it is a token that waits
(lib/homeIntent) rather than an event fired into an empty room. Browser-measured:
taken with a compare-and-clear, because StrictMode's double-invoked mount effect
otherwise rerolled twice and landed on the page two picks deep.
HU/EN parity kept; UAT on localdev in both languages, including the empty shelf.
