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.
The feed applied its starred default via a localStorage mirror
(LS.defaultViewFilters) written by SavedViewsProvider and read by
FeedFiltersProvider on load. That raced the login effect: on a genuinely
fresh browser (no LS.filters and no mirror yet) the feed could seed
DEFAULT_FILTERS and never re-apply the default until a reload. Plex had no
default-application at all.
Replace the mirror with a single path: SavedViewsProvider applies the
starred default via cfg.setFilters on the views query's FIRST resolve, but
only into a genuinely fresh module (no stored filters for the account, and
— feed only — no URL filter override). Applying persists it, so it happens
once and the last-view-wins path takes over, matching the documented
storage semantics. Because it runs off cfg.setFilters it delivers the Plex
port for free. Extract pickDefaultToSeed (pure, unit-tested) and cover the
first-resolve/stored/no-default cases for both modules in a provider test.
Removes the now-dead LS.defaultViewFilters key and its mirror read.
The re-review of the fix round surfaced 4 findings; fixing the coverage one
exposed that the C1 migration was ineffective:
- FeedFiltersProvider.loadAccountFilters: run coerceTagModes on the RAW stored
blob, not the object merged over DEFAULT_FILTERS. The merge injects
DEFAULT_TAG_MODES (all "or"), which coerceTagModes prefers over the legacy
scalar `tagMode` — so the migration never fired. Now a persisted legacy
tagMode:'and' actually migrates into tagModes.topic (proven by a new test).
- test_feed_views: the tag_mode_other=and case was vacuous (only chC carried
either "other" tag, so AND == OR). Give chA an "other" tag too so OR-other
{chA,chC} differs from AND-other {chC} — the conjunctive path now narrows.
- DateFilterSelect: reset the custom reveal in useLayoutEffect (not useEffect)
so the correction commits before paint — no one-frame "Custom range" flicker
on the trigger after an external clear.
- SavedViewsProvider: extract the sticky-view tie-break to a pure, tested
lib/savedViews.ts (preferSticky).
New tests: savedViews (preferSticky), FeedFiltersProvider.dom (legacy tagMode
migration on the localStorage/default-view seed).
