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.
CLAUDE.md's canonical table names SQLAlchemy 2.0 select() and an inline
datetime.now(timezone.utc), and both had drifted: five db.query(...) calls
remained in routes/auth.py and routes/me.py (seven before the demo went),
and four private now helpers stood in sync/videos.py, utils.py (imported
as _now by explore and maintenance), scheduler.py (_now_iso) and the e2e
seed. All are the canonical form now.
Ruff cannot ban a method call on an instance or a function by name, so
tests/test_canonical_patterns.py reads every app module's AST and fails on
a .query(...) call or a now/_now/now_utc helper — seen red on a planted file.
E32 review round 1 (B7). Each phase took its own now; phase 2's "not checked this run" test then
let a just-recovered video through and spent another videos.list call on it.
The catalog prune and the subscription import have long refused to reconcile against an empty
listing that contradicts what we hold (should_prune: a 200 with no items is a blip far more often
than a user who removed everything). Two mirrors did not: the YouTube playlist mirrors (dropped
every mirror) and the Plex collections (dropped every collection with its user-set `editable`
flag, and every member's keys — the guard landed in plex/sync.py with the previous commit). Both
now hold the same rule; test_empty_listing_guards covers each way (seen red).
sync/maintenance (19% covered) gets a lifecycle test: recover, grace, delete + one notification
per user, live stream kept, abandoned premiere. It found the rolling revalidation re-fetching the
same videos until `checked` reached the batch (15000 by default) whenever fewer videos were
available — quota spent on answers it already had; a run now skips what it has checked.
