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.
ruff gains RUF100, PLW1510 and flake8-bugbear, every hit fixed rather than
ignored. B008 stays on with FastAPI's Depends/Query declared immutable.
basedpyright moves to standard mode, pytest to --strict-markers, and a hand
run of pytest now requires the database unless SIFTLODE_TEST_REQUIRE_DB=0.
PLW1510 found a real bug: the three ffprobe probes in plex/stream.py never
looked at the exit status, so a probe that failed was read as the file's
truth (an HDR source sent down the HW-safe path, a multi-audio file collapsed
to one track, a subtitle offset taken from garbage) and the warning each
except branch promises never fired. They now run with check=True.
GET /api/channels summed every subscribed channel's videos by reading each video's heap page
(681 MB on prod): 51-61 ms warm, but 2.25 s on a first open and 6.4 s under EXPLAIN once the
table had left memory. /feed/summary and /feed/years did the same (~140 ms warm, ~800 ms cold).
Migration 0095 replaces ix_videos_channel_pub_desc with the same key INCLUDING the columns
those queries read, so they are Index Only Scans over a 25 MB index. A test holds the queries
and the index's column list together.
The admin Configuration page did a db.get per setting (two for an unset one): it now reads
every override in one query (~40 ms of ~55 on prod).
The Postgres image is Alpine, whose en_US.utf8 is byte order: "Életrajzi" and
"Ötödik" sorted after "Zorró" in the feed, the channel lists, the Plex grid,
its genres and collections. `app/collation.py` names the ICU collation of the
reader's language (hu-x-icu puts "Ö" after "O" and "Cs" after "Cu"), wraps
every text ORDER BY with it - the feed's keyset cursor compares with the same
expression, so paging walks the order it sorted in - and orders the lists built
in Python (genre and studio facets, collection members, the discovery re-sort)
through the same collation. Plex title tiebreaks use the shown (HU) title.
channels.list simply omits a terminated channel, so nothing was stamped and the
channel page spent a quota unit on it every time. The miss is stamped like a
fetch; the published_at sentinel that kept it stale is gone.
Channel metadata (banner, avatar, description, counts) was fetched only the first time a
channel was seen: the subscription import asked only for channels with no details, and the
channel page only for ones missing a join date. 394 of 397 subscribed channels had July
metadata. Both now also refresh details older than DETAILS_MAX_AGE (7 days), through one
shared staleness rule; channels.list costs 1 unit per 50 channels.
Two rows of the canonical-patterns table had drifted, found while closing the roadmap audit:
- 63 mutation responses carried no `ok` — `{"unsubscribed": true}`, `{"status": "ok"}`,
`{"added": 3, …}` and so on. Each now leads with `"ok": true` (additive: every field a client
reads is still there).
- Twelve route helpers committed on their own. Six were just the end of their handler's work and now
flush: the playlist item add/remove and Watch later get-or-create, the Plex series/season bulk
mark, and the invite decision + account activation — which an approval used to land in separate
transactions. The other six commit on purpose (a token durable before its link is mailed, a
single-use token burned as its own unit, the Google callback's tail, a background registration
with its own session, the staged search ingest around YouTube calls), each listed with its reason.
`tests/test_route_conventions.py` holds both rules in code; CLAUDE.md's two rows point at 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.
The two manual syncs (subscriptions import, playlist pull) had no YouTubeError
handler, so a quota, token or transport failure was a raw 500 and the blocking
"Server error" dialog (E9 F1). The other YouTube routes answered either the
upstream's English or a playlist-scoped "youtube_failed".
One helper, routes/_common.youtube_refusal: 422 {code: "youtube", reason} with
the reason sorted by what the user can do — quota (wait for the reset),
reconnect (the token step refused), unavailable (retry). Used by every route
that surfaces a YouTube failure; localizeDetail translates it.
"Reconnect" had no path: a grant Google revoked still read as granted, so
Settings and the wizard offered no connect button while every call failed.
An invalid_grant from the token endpoint now clears the stored grant.
- yt-dlp's text is scrubbed wherever it is logged, not only in the adapter:
`formats.log_safe` takes out the URL, the `[extractor] <id>:` prefix and
file paths, and the job-failed, refused, edit-failed and backfill lines use
it. Done lines log the asset id, not the title-built path. The PII contract
now bans `rel`/`rel_path`/`title`.
- A traceback goes with a download/edit failure only when it is our own code
failing; for yt-dlp's DownloadError, our RuntimeErrors and OSErrors its foot
is the unscrubbed message.
- yt-dlp's `error` maps to WARNING: it fires on attempts the fallback client
set recovers from; the job's verdict is `download.job.failed`.
- The sink groups a bare `%s` pass-through by its text (numbers folded), and
a process's last batch closes the repeat window, so a short-lived download
child still reports what it dropped.
- Worker-side failures (stall, wall-clock, no asset, cached asset error) log
`download.job.failed` with a cause; they left no line at all before. The
crash, supervisor-error and non-zero-exit lines carry the code too.
- An edit failure is one coded line in `_fail_edit`, for every path.
- `logs.get_logger("__main__")` resolves to the `-m` module, so the worker
and the download child keep their names.
- TRACE lines carrying user content are gated on `logs.consented_trace()`,
not on the process level; a contract test pins it.
- The OAuth token refresh goes through `_upstream_failure`; transport errors
carry reason `transport`. Subscribe recognises a duplicate by reason code
only (the prose fallback was dead).
- Once-only guards for a stale sysconfig override and a refusing HLS session
directory; item_detail splits Plex failures from our own parse bugs.
- The playlist breaker line names the playlist and the action; comments that
were false (runner noqa, `_merge_vtt`, sink grouping) are corrected.
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.
25 literal names covered 34 modules. plex/client.py, plex/stream.py,
plex/subtitles.py, plex/sync.py and two Plex route modules all called themselves
`siftlode.plex`; downloads/pipeline.py called itself `siftlode.worker`;
routes/channels.py called itself `siftlode.api`. The `logger` column is in every
stored row so E22.6's console can filter on it, and so an operator can pin a level
to one part of the system — neither works when six modules share a name.
`logs.get_logger(__name__)` derives it: app/plex/sync.py -> siftlode.plex.sync.
One name per module, and it cannot drift from the file it sits in.
tests/test_logger_names.py pins the derivation, that everything stays under the
one `siftlode` tree the handler and the tests attach to, and that no module
hand-rolls a name again unless the line says why (`# logger-name-ok: <why>`).
Two do: get_logger's own call, and `siftlode.http`, which is named for the traffic
it carries rather than the module it lives in — it replaced uvicorn's access log
and is what an operator pins when they want request lines and nothing else.
app/scheduler.py called its logger `logger`; every other module calls it `log`.
ruff gains LOG, G, T20, TRY400, TRY401 and S112. Four findings cleared with them:
worker.py logged `str(exc)[:120]` where the traceback was the whole question, and
three prints/f-strings that are deliberate now say so on the line. S110 and BLE001
stay off until S3 — 23 handlers are outstanding and each is a judgement about one
of them; enabling the rules first would just mean 23 blanket noqas.
The E22 redactor is a safety net over addresses and credential params, and every
one of these call sites was leaning on it to do the whole job. What it does not
cover went in whole, and what it does cover came out as a constant.
Not covered, so a real leak:
- routes/search.py logged the raw search term at ERROR. The privacy policy shipped
in 0.88.0 says a search string is kept only at Teljes/TRACE, with the user's own
consent. The ERROR line now carries the shape of the failure (source, candidate
and collected counts) and the term follows on a TRACE line, which nothing emits
unless that consent is in force.
- downloads/backfill.py logged the full source URL at INFO — a row of the user's
download history. Now the asset id and the host.
- youtube/client.py logged the upstream error body, which is prose that quotes the
request back. Every failing YouTube call now goes through one _upstream_failure()
that logs the API's `reason` code, keeps the body for the same consented TRACE
line, and raises a YouTubeError carrying `reason` as a field — callers put that
error in log lines of their own (routes/channels.py) and in a 422 answered to the
user, so the body must not travel in it either.
Covered, so merely useless: routes/auth.py named the account by an address that
reached both sinks as `[email]`, and app/email.py printed recipient lists that read
as `['[email]']`. Both now carry the uid (or a count) and a reason code, which is
also the first half of E22.5 S4's failed-sign-in coverage.
routes/channels.py branched on the text of that error message to recognise an
already-existing subscription. It now branches on `exc.reason`, with the substring
check kept beside it for a body that carried no reason at all.
tests/test_log_pii.py pins the call sites and the family: a source-level contract
test walks every log call in app/ and fails on an argument naming user-typed
content unless the line says why it is safe (`# log-pii-ok: <why>`). Eight sites
carry that marker today, each with its reason. Gate 8/8 green; all five cases
mutation-checked.
Deep-review round 5, over round 4's own fixes.
- `notifyActionError` preferred the server's `detail` over the caller's translated fallback, and
`reportFailure` deliberately leaves 403/404/429 to the caller — so for exactly those statuses the
dozen call sites round 4 converted started printing whatever English a route hand-wrote into an
otherwise Hungarian UI ("No user with that email.", "Not subscribed to this channel", "Unknown
job"). A STRUCTURED detail is still preferred: `req` has already run it through `localizeDetail`,
so it is both localized and more specific. A plain string is not.
- The other half of the same defect, on the backend: round 4's `get_or_404(what="channel")` sweep
reached exactly ONE of the five identical sites in channels.py and shipped the HU/EN string with
it, so the Block button said it in Hungarian and the four controls beside it in English. All five
are converted, and the subscription / share-recipient / scheduler-job 404s with them (two new
reasons in both locales).
- `PlexCollectionEditor`'s add/remove, take-over and delete were try/finally with no catch — in the
very file round 4 edited to give `createNew` one. 403 and 404 are the caller's to report, so the
tick simply never appeared and a CONFIRMED "delete collection" did nothing, silently.
- `UploadDialog` is the only `uploadReq` caller and kept an empty catch whose comment still claimed
the global error modal had it. It had not since `reportFailure` became shared: a proxy 502 raised
only the self-clearing connection notice and a 413/403/404 nothing at all, so the dialog snapped
back to its pre-upload state with no error named. The user's own Cancel stays silent — and since
a cancel and a network drop both carry status 0, that difference is now a named `isAborted`
rather than a string literal at each end.
Regression tests for each (5 vitest, 2 pytest, plus two existing assertions corrected), all
mutation-checked: 6 mutations, each red on the assertion it is named after. vitest 1007,
pytest 1127.
Deep-review round 4, backend half.
- The periodic HLS reaper (round 3) applied the "finished and unfetched for 30 s" rule that only a
NEW session request may apply. A remux finishes long before the film, and a paused player with a
full buffer fetches nothing, so a one-minute pause killed the session and playback died ~30 s after
resuming. The periodic pass is `reap_abandoned` now (the long idle limit, finished or not).
- A subtitle `publish` that could not keep its output (full / read-only cache volume) returned
quietly, so every poll queued the window and the whole-container pass again. It reports failure
and the pass is backed off like a failed read; a cached VTT that cannot be READ is answered
`unavailable` (`cache_unreadable`) instead of scheduling reads that can never land.
- The subtitle routes bound `rating_key` / `sub_ord` (they become a cache file name: a 250-digit
one was ENAMETOOLONG, which pathlib's exists() re-raises -> a 500), and the cache helpers no longer
throw on such a name.
- One app-wide handler turns psycopg's "text fields cannot contain NUL" DataError into a 422: round 3
guarded only the by-rating_key lookup, and `contains=`, `contains_group=`, reorder/bulk key lists
and the collection search still 500'd.
- The hand-written `db.get(...) is None -> 404 "Unknown ..."` siblings use `get_or_404` with a
`what` (channel / video / user), so the Hungarian UI no longer shows English for a gone row.
Deep-review round 3 of bug hunt 2026-09.
- get_or_404 / owned_or_404 answer a structured {code: "not_found", reason: <what>}
(errors.notFound.* in HU+EN, generic fallback). The structured-404 fix of round 2 had gone into the
ad-hoc `_own_playlist` (CLAUDE.md's "Not" pattern) while the shared helpers stayed string-only, so
views, tags, pins, Plex playlists, invites and users still 404'd in English. `_own_playlist` now
goes through owned_or_404; admin's hand-rolled user lookups use get_or_404.
- A move into a list that is gone names the TARGET (reason "move_target") — "this playlist doesn't
exist any more" was read as the list on screen, which still exists.
- Every refusal in the playlists router is a {code: "playlist", reason} (playlists.errors.* HU+EN)
instead of a bare English string shown verbatim in the Hungarian UI.
- `req` / `uploadReq` mark the errors they already put on screen (the error dialog, the connection
notice, the 401 sign-out), and notifyActionError skips those. The watched toggles, the saved views
and a playlist delete toasted a fault the dialog was already showing; Playlists' two hand-written
status filters now go through the same check.
Item 6 — the tag add-trigger now LEADS the chip row (a stable left anchor)
instead of trailing it, so on the detail page (bounded=false) adding chips
grows the row to its right and the '+'/its editor popover no longer drift.
Compact icon in the width-bounded manager cell; a labelled '＋ Tag' pill
where there's free width (the detail header).
Item 7 — surface the per-subscription 'hidden' flag on the detail GET
(channel_detail was omitting it) and add an Eye/EyeOff hide/unhide toggle
next to Block on the channel page, mirroring the manager. FE ChannelDetail
gains 'hidden'; new channel.* i18n keys (HU+EN).
Tests: +3 backend (channel_detail surfaces hidden, both states + unsubscribed
default). Gate green: backend pytest 471, FE vitest 498.
This codebase leans on "why" comments as its architecture doc, so a header that
claims the opposite of the code below it is worse than none. Fix the seven the
review flagged: channels.py (subscribe/unsubscribe shipped), playlists.py +
sync/playlists.py (YouTube two-way sync + write-back shipped), setup.py (drop the
"epic 6c" ref — the wizard steps exist), config.py ("auth._client_ip" ->
"routes.auth._client_ip"), db.py ("routes/plex.py" -> "routes/plex/" after the
package split), sysconfig.py (the "Phase C" note — the watch-sync job that reads
plex_watch_sync_interval_min has landed; clarified it's a boot default, not a knob).
Docs only.
B-core-3 (2026-08-17 review): decouple two things from router modules.
1. Feed read-model → new app/feedquery.py: the pure query-building and
row-serialization layer (feed_columns, serialize, _filtered_query,
to_tsquery_str, and the keyset-pagination helpers) moves out of
routes/feed.py, which keeps only the route handlers, _feed_params, and
the request models. The three external consumers (playlists, search,
plex/browse) now import from app.feedquery instead of reaching into the
feed router.
2. admin_user sweep: 7 modules imported admin_user via app.routes.admin
(an incidental re-export of app.auth.admin_user). Repoint them all to
the definition in app.auth (audit, channels, config, quota, scheduler,
plex/admin, plex/browse); routes.admin keeps its own import for its use.
Pure code motion — no behaviour change. Full DB-lane suite 287 passed /
2 skipped; ruff clean.
Addresses the code-review findings on the immediate full-history change:
- Extract quota.backfill_reserve_reached(): the remaining/reserve compare was
open-coded at seven sites (recent/deep/immediate backfill, explore, rolling
revalidation, and the new per-page guard). It reads in its OWN short-lived
session (like record_usage/log_action), so a per-page guard no longer holds
the caller's transaction open across the YouTube fetch that follows — the
400-page immediate run no longer pins a pooled connection idle-in-transaction
through each network round-trip. Migrated all call sites; dropped the now-dead
sysconfig imports in channels.py and maintenance.py.
- Simplify the deep-backfill loop: channel.backfill_done = not page_token (done
is False on entry) plus one break, replacing the doubled `if not page_token`.
- Tests patch the backfill_reserve_reached seam directly instead of mocking
remaining_today internals, removing the fragile dead-value budget iterator.
Full backend suite green; ruff clean.
- Make the immediate-backfill guard SYMMETRIC: run_deep_backfill now also
registers the channel it pages in _backfill_in_progress, so it and
backfill_channel_now mutually exclude per-channel and never advance the
same cursor concurrently (whichever started first). The interactive cap
moves to a separate _immediate_running counter so the scheduler's channels
don't false-trip it.
- Attribute the immediate backfill's spend: wrap it in
quota.attribute(user_id, VIDEOS_BACKFILL_FULL) (route passes user.id), so
it shows under the user's full-backfill action, not the OTHER/system bucket.
- Tests: the update_channel->background-task wiring + the demo guard
(scheduled for a real user, NOT for demo); distinct N/S/L counts (2 short
+ 1 live) so a short/live swap fails; extracted channelDetailPollMs with a
pure unit test of the poll-or-stop predicate.
- a11y: role="img" on the fully-synced charm so screen readers announce it.
- list_channels no longer computes the Normal/Shorts/Live aggregation the
frontend stopped reading when R14 dropped the N/S/L table column; the dead
ManagedChannel.count_* fields are gone too.
- Immediate "get full history" backfill now coordinates with the paced
scheduler via a small in-flight set: capped at 2 concurrent + per-channel
dedup, and run_deep_backfill skips a channel an immediate backfill owns —
killing the cursor race and bounding the quota-drain burst, without losing
the speed win.
- Add test_channel_backfill.py: the channelDetail N/S/L counts + the guard's
no-op / cap / scheduler-skip behaviour.
- Inline the syncedChannels useMemo (its dep is a fresh array each render, so
it never cached); fix the stale "~2-min ticks" comment (it's 10 minutes).
Clicking "get full history" now kicks an immediate background deep
backfill of that one channel (backfill_channel_now: own session, up to
~3000 videos in one pass, quota-guarded) instead of waiting for the
scheduler's paced 10-minute ticks (5 pages/channel/tick). The request
returns instantly and the channel page's live poll shows the count fill
in seconds. A very large channel's tail still falls to the scheduler
(deep_requested stays set).
- DataTable: opt-in `fixedLayout` (colgroup + table-layout:fixed) so the
table fits its container at any zoom/text-size; only the channel manager
opts in — playlists/discovery/Plex keep auto-sizing.
- Remove the N/S/L and Sync columns from the manager table. Fully-synced
status becomes a ✓ charm on the Stored count; the sync filter moves to an
`applySyncFilter` pre-filter still driven by the top chips.
- Channel column is now fluid: ChannelLink truncates with the full name on
hover (title). Data columns get fixed widths so only Channel/About flex.
- N/S/L (normal/short/live) breakdown moves to the channel page: add the
three counts to the channelDetail endpoint (one grouped query, same
filters as the list) + the ChannelDetail type + a meta-line entry.
- Drop the now-dead sync/types i18n keys (en+hu).
1A ChannelPage "Full history" button no longer wraps (whitespace-nowrap).
1B Extract the manager's press-and-hold priority stepper into a shared
PriorityStepper and add it to the channel detail header (subscribed, non-demo);
backend channel_detail now returns the per-subscription `priority`.
2 Unify YouTube + Plex media cards onto one look/behaviour: drop the whole-card
hover LIFT (VideoCard) — which also fixes the clipped-top bug — and instead the
inner thumbnail/poster ZOOMS on hover (both); give the flat Plex posters the same
glass-card 3D depth + accent hover border as the feed cards (shadow-md is a
transparent no-op here, so it's glass-card that provides the depth); clamp Plex
card titles to a fixed 2-line height so 1- vs 2-line titles align.
3 Nav rail is now always a slim icon-only column, flush to the left edge; each icon
reveals a floating name label on hover (Tooltip gains `always` + `openDelay`, and
a right side). Removed the pin/unpin toggle, the expand-on-hover mode and the
navCollapsed pref plumbing.
4 Scope the side-panel peek-open HOVER to the tab handle + the card (not the whole
full-height slot next to the rail), so approaching the nav no longer pops the
filter open; focus stays container-wide. useHoverFocusWithin gains a hover-out
grace period + split hover/focus handler groups.
5 Plex art backdrop fills the whole viewport (a fixed inset-0 layer behind the
transparent app) instead of only the inset <main> box.
6 Plex season binge continues across seasons: the season view's play queue now
spans the whole show (allKeys), so a season's last episode rolls into the next
season's first (seasonKeys stays for "add season to playlist").
7 When a Plex video/episode ends with nothing queued next, the player returns to
the previous page (onEnded → onClose) instead of stranding a black screen.
Bring the same tag control to the channel page, next to Subscribe:
- backend: GET /api/channels/{id} now returns this user's `tag_ids` for the channel
(added to _channel_detail_dict + the ChannelDetail interface), matching the manager
list shape;
- ChannelPage renders the shared ChannelTagsControl, wired to attach/detach/create with
an optimistic update on the channel-detail cache (reverting on failure) and a manager
list invalidation so a tag added here shows there too.
Reuses the R8 popover platform + ChannelTagsControl — no new tag UI.
The catalog only stores the recent-backfill/RSS subset of a channel's uploads (video_count is
YouTube's raw total), so a subscribed channel looked like it was "missing" videos. Now the channel
page header shows "{stored} / {total} videos" when there's a gap, and a "Full history" action queues
the deep backfill (the same deep_requested trigger the channel manager uses) — showing a loading
state until done. Backend: channel_detail now returns deep_requested/backfill_done.
update_channel: payload:dict → ChannelUpdateIn (priority/hidden/deep_requested,
all optional for PATCH semantics). Kills the `int(payload["priority"])` 500 the
prod report hit — a non-numeric/garbage value now returns 422, not 500.
attach_tag: payload:dict → AttachTagIn(tag_id:int) — a non-int tag_id was a 500
in `db.get(Tag, ...)`; the personal-tag ownership check reuses owned_or_404.
Round-1 review finding #4 named only audit.py/plex.py, but the same misplaced
`from app.utils import iso` sat in channels/downloads/feed/notifications too — the
round missed them (ruff enforces no import order here, so the gate was silent).
Move them to alphabetical position for consistency. No behaviour change.
Establish the R6 API-contract infra before the S1b payload:dict migration:
- iso(dt) in utils.py replaces the ~16 hand-rolled `x.isoformat() if x else None`
serializer idioms across the routes.
- get_or_404 / owned_or_404 in routes/_common.py — one 404 + existence-leak policy;
plex's _own_playlist_or_404 and saved_views' _own_view now delegate to it.
- require_write_scope dependency in auth.py collapses the inline has_write_scope→403
checks (channels subscribe/unsubscribe, playlists push/push-plan) that had drifted
into three different messages into one; the conditional delete_playlist guard stays
inline (its message was already canonical).
No response-shape change (iso == isoformat for a present value). Gate: ruff clean,
pytest 163 green (+ test_utils for iso).
The demo account is shared, so writing deep_requested onto its subscription polluted
shared state (harmless today — the scheduler's deep paths are human-only — but a
future scheduler path trusting the flag would leak quota). Guard the flag WRITE at the
source (not user.is_demo), which also makes deep_turned_on always False for demo, so
the redundant is_demo check on the immediate backfill is removed.
The demo account could spend real YouTube quota where the human-only guard was
missing (the channel_detail enrichment already had it):
- channels PATCH: an immediate run_recent_backfill when deep_requested is turned on;
- discovery: the channel-detail enrich on the Discover tab;
- feed get_video_detail: the off-catalog videos.list lookup for a video we don't
store (the DB-hit path stays free; demo now gets a 404 for unknown videos).
- Backend: add channel description to the shared _channel_summary projection, so both
the subscribed list and the discovery list carry it (no migration; description is
already stored from the channels.list call)
- New AboutCell: one truncated line in the table + full text in a portalled, always-on
glass hover/focus overlay (wider than Tooltip, flips above the anchor near the bottom,
closes on scroll/resize)
- About column (after Channel) on both the subscribed and discovery tables; hidden in the
mobile card fallback
- fix: reserve the scrollbar gutter (scrollbar-gutter:stable) on the channel
page's scroll container, so switching between the tall Videos tab and the
short About tab no longer shifts the banner/avatar/buttons a few px sideways
(the vertical scrollbar was appearing/disappearing between the two tabs).
- About tab now shows Country (flag + localized name), Language, Topics
(topicCategories → readable chips), and Keywords (brandingSettings keywords
parsed into chips, quoted multi-word tags kept whole). country/language/topics
were already stored; keywords is new (migration 0055_channel_keywords, mapped
in apply_channel_details, returned by channel_detail).
- Discovery → channel page: the Channel-manager "Discover from playlists" tab now
links each channel name to its in-app channel page (ChannelLink onView), so a
discovered channel's About/videos can be inspected BEFORE subscribing (was
subscribe-only, plain text before).
Note: the channel info-card epic itself was already delivered in v0.19.0; this is
the About-tab enrichment follow-up + the header-shift fix. external_links stays
empty by design (YouTube removed the field from the Data API ~2023).
- channels CB3: sort discovery rows NULLs-last (title is None) to match the DB
ORDER BY exactly — coercing NULL title to "" floated untitled channels to the top.
- AdminUsers SC1: track in-flight rows in a Set, not a single id — per-row disabling
now lets the admin start concurrent row actions, and a shared id was cleared by
whichever settled first (re-enabling a still-pending row → possible double-submit).
- ChatThread CT4: reset the incoming-count ref when partnerId changes — the Messages
page reuses one ChatThread across conversation switches, so a same-count switch
could skip the open-marks-read badge refresh.
- messages MB3: push a bare {type:"unread"} (drop the now-dead count query — the
client re-fetches on the signal and ignored the number anyway).
- api.ts: extract the shared keepalive `beacon()` helper (saveProgressBeacon +
plexProgressBeacon were near-verbatim copies).
Verified each deferred per-subsystem item against current source, then fixed the
real ones (tradeoffs left as-is, see siftlode-ops/CODE-HYGIENE.md closeout):
- search BUG-3: don't finalise shorts_probed on un-enriched stubs (enrichment
failure/omitted rows) — restores the scheduler's enriched_at guard so a real
Short can't leak into the feed and never get reclassified.
- downloads GC: 4th pass reaps orphaned errored, fileless, unreferenced assets
(they carry no TTL, so the expiry passes never cleared them).
- downloads B6: quota/edit errors now return a structured {code,reason,limit}
the trilingual client localises, instead of hardcoded English + dot-decimal GB.
- channels BB1: reset-backfill re-arms deep sync on every subscriber (bulk update)
instead of 404ing when the admin isn't personally subscribed.
- channels BB2: enrich the stub on BOTH the normal and "already exists" desync
path (nest the insert try inside the client `with`).
- channels CB3: drop the redundant second _discovery_rows read (identity-mapped
rows are already enriched; re-sort in Python for the title tie-break).
- playlists PC1: read the live playlist once in push() and share it with plan_push
+ push_playlist (halves read-quota, closes the second TOCTOU window).
- playlists PC2/PC5: batch the cover thumbnails in one window query (was N+1);
rename combines count+duration into one aggregate + a single cover lookup.
- messages MB2: get_thread only resolves a messageable partner OR one we already
share a thread with (closes the user-enumeration oracle).
- messages MB3: push a live unread-count to the user's other tabs after mark-read.
- messages MC4: list_conversations uses DISTINCT ON + grouped COUNT instead of
loading the whole message history into memory.
- config AB3: per-spec allow_empty so smtp_user/youtube_api_proxy can be blanked
to disable them rather than snapping back to the env default.
- Extract _is_blocked(db, user, channel_id): the BlockedChannel EXISTS query was
copy-pasted in channel_detail, explore_channel, and block_channel.
- Extract _channel_summary(ch): the shared id/title/handle/thumbnail/subscriber/
video_count projection was hand-rolled in list_channels and discover_channels
(the detail dict interleaves these with extras, so it's left as-is).
Behavior-neutral. ruff clean, localdev boots healthy.
- feed.py _filtered_query: drop the dead 2nd return element (status_expr was
used only internally for WHERE filters; all 3 callers discarded it as _status).
Now returns (query, rank_expr); fixed the stale docstring.
- youtube/client.py: extract _iter_playlist_items() — iter_my_playlist_video_ids
and iter_playlist_items_with_ids were near-identical playlistItems paging loops
(jscpd [173-187]≈[267-281]); both now map over the shared generator.
- sync/videos.py: extract _apply_video_batch() with an on_missing callback —
enrich_pending and refresh_live shared the fetch-map-apply skeleton, differing
only in the query and how they retire rows YouTube omits.
- models.py: add LIVE_OR_UPCOMING = ("live","upcoming"); replace the 4 duplicated
copies (feed.HIDDEN_LIVE, search._LIVE_HIDDEN, videos.py + channels.py inline).
Behavior-neutral. ruff clean on touched files, localdev boots, feed/worker healthy.
Machine-baseline harvest (ruff + knip), all tsc/parse-green, no runtime change:
- backend: remove 3 unused imports (channels/playlists/youtube) via ruff; drop the
unused `job` binding in unshare_download (keep the _own_job ownership guard call).
- frontend: remove `export` from 23 internally-used-only symbols (knip "unused
exports") to shrink the public surface; delete 2 genuinely-dead declarations
(PlexBrowseResult — leftover from the removed /browse route; WIDGET_TITLES —
hardcoded English titles superseded by i18n).
Held back for a decision (unused here = possibly-unwired, NOT dead — flagged, not
removed): e2ee.lock()/clearDevice() (security primitives never wired to logout / a
"forget device" feature) and loadDefaultViewFilters (App reimplements it inline — a
DRY issue). See siftlode-ops/CODE-HYGIENE.md.
- Live-search view: a results-count selector (20/40/60/100) replaces manual load-more (the free
scrape source pages until that many are gathered); an 'these results are temporary' banner with
a 'Clear now' button that discards them 'as if never added' (api.clearSearch) and returns to
the feed.
- Channel blocklist: a Block/Unblock toggle + 'Blocked' badge on the channel page (blocked
channels don't auto-explore and their videos are hidden), and a 'Blocked channels' section in
the Channel manager with one-click unblock. ChannelDetail.blocked from the backend.
- Admin: a 'Purge discovery' button on the Scheduler page (immediate un-kept search/explore
cleanup). EN/HU/DE throughout.
- Live-search results stay ephemeral: the discovery-cleanup job now also reclaims un-kept
via_search videos (no watch state / not playlisted / channel not subscribed) after a grace
period (search_grace_days), and POST /api/search/clear discards a given result set 'as if
never added' (drops the user's search-finds + deletes the now-orphaned, un-kept videos).
Admin POST /api/admin/purge-discovery runs it on demand (grace 0).
- Count selector: GET /api/search/youtube gains a 'limit' — the free scrape source pages
through continuations until that many results are gathered (no manual load-more); the API
source stays one ≤50 page (cost).
- Per-user channel blocklist (migration 0034 blocked_channels): block/unblock/list endpoints;
blocked channels' videos are dropped from live search before ingest and hidden from the feed
/ Library / explore / channel page; explore refuses a blocked channel.
- New-first ordering: results you already have (subscribed channel, watched/in-progress/saved/
playlisted) sink below genuinely-new discoveries, preserving relevance within each group.
Adds the backend for a dedicated channel page + ephemeral browsing of un-subscribed
channels:
- migration 0033: channels.{total_view_count,published_at,banner_url,external_links,
from_explore}, videos.via_explore, explored_channels (per-user, grace-clocked).
- enrich channels with part=brandingSettings (banner/links) + statistics.viewCount +
snippet.publishedAt — no extra quota.
- GET /api/channels/{id}: About detail + this user's relationship; lazy-enriches the new
About fields (published_at sentinel).
- POST /api/channels/{id}/explore (require_human, quota-reserve guarded): records the
exploration, flags the channel ephemeral unless followed, ingests one page of uploads
(via_explore) + enriches; returns next_page_token for load-more.
- feed: per-explorer gate — a via_explore video is visible only to users who explored or
subscribe to its channel, so exploration never leaks into everyone's catalog.
- subscribe = keep: clears from_explore + via_explore on the channel's videos.
- scheduler explore_cleanup job + explore_grace_days config: hard-delete explored-but-
unkept channels and their untouched ephemeral videos after a grace period.
Replace the leftover 'subfeed' name across logger names + log_config,
frontend localStorage keys, Postgres user/db/volume defaults in the
compose files, .env.example, config.py, backup/restore scripts and the
README. Pure rename; no behavioural change. localStorage keys move from
subfeed.* to siftlode.* (one-time UI-state reset is acceptable).
The quota-attribution action keys were inconsistent (mixed verbs, ad-hoc names,
English-only labels). Introduce a QuotaAction constants holder (one source of
truth), rename every attribution call site to it, and add migration 0020 to
rename historical quota_events.action values. The display label now resolves
from i18n (quotaActions.<key>, EN/HU/DE) instead of a hard-coded English map.
Scheduler job ids and progress phase labels are a separate namespace and are
left untouched.
Subscribing to a channel the user already follows on YouTube (a local/YouTube
desync — e.g. a stale import dropped the local row, so it resurfaced in the
discovery list) made YouTube return 400 "subscription already exists", which
the endpoint reported as a 502 — and the client shows a 502 as a transient
"connection lost" blip, not the real reason. Treat the duplicate as success:
record the subscription locally (the desired end state already holds; the next
resync fills in the resource id). Surface any other YouTube error as 422 with a
clear message, on both subscribe and unsubscribe, so it isn't mistaken for a
connection drop.
Add a "Discover from playlists" tab to the Channel manager that lists
channels appearing in the user's playlists they don't subscribe to, with
a one-click Subscribe.
- GET /api/channels/discovery: local join (playlist_items -> videos ->
channels) minus the user's subscriptions and their own channel. Enriches
stub channels' metadata up front (title/thumbnail/subscriber count via the
API key) so the user can judge a channel before subscribing; videos are
not pulled (the scheduler picks those up).
- POST /api/channels/{id}/subscribe: write-scope gated, subscriptions.insert
+ local Subscription with the returned resource id.
- YouTubeClient.insert_subscription / get_my_channel_id.
- users.yt_channel_id (migration 0019) caches the user's own channel id so
discovery can exclude it.
- Frontend: ChannelDiscovery DataTable, Channels tab toggle (persisted),
api methods, trilingual strings. Subscribe ships a typed notification
payload (ChannelSubscribedMeta) for the inbox to act on.
- Add Last upload, total Length and a Normal/Shorts/Live breakdown, computed on read in the
existing grouped query (~35ms over the full catalog — measured, so no denormalization).
- Subscribers shown compact (919K), since the YouTube API already rounds them.
- Tag cell now shows only the tags actually attached to a channel; a '+' opens a per-channel
picker to attach/detach, instead of listing every user tag on every row.
POST /api/channels/{id}/reset-backfill (admin-only): clear the channel's backfill
markers, re-opt into deep backfill and re-run its recent pull now — a re-fetch-from-
scratch trigger regardless of current sync state. Idempotent (videos upsert by id).
Track who burned how much YouTube API quota. A QuotaEvent audit log (migration
0009) records every spend with the triggering user (NULL = background/system) and
an action label, set via a request/job-scoped contextvar (quota.attribute) so no
call signatures change. User-initiated work (sync subscriptions, unsubscribe,
opt-in recent backfill, manual enrich) attributes to the user; scheduler work to
System, split by action.
- backend: QuotaEvent model + migration 0009; quota.attribute() contextvar;
record_usage logs events; entry points wrapped (routes/sync, routes/channels,
scheduler); GET /api/quota/my-usage + GET /api/quota/admin
- frontend: admin-only Stats page (header nav, page=stats) with daily bars +
per-user breakdown by action and range picker; 'Your API usage' in Settings ->
Sync for every user
Verified: attribution + endpoints compute correctly; events are per-user vs System.
