~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.
Deep-review round 4, targeted at round 3's changes (f569b19c..e7f38396).
Accounts
- Switching, adding or signing out an account moved the tab's pin before
the page unloaded, so the players' resume beacons fired on the way out
under the NEW account: one account's playback position saved into the
other. The pin is now handed to the next page (pinOnNextPage) and taken
over at import; clearActiveAccount is gone.
- Switching to a suspended account was refused but left it in the
switcher, refused on every click; a deactivated one was not refused at
all, and made the default it signed every account in the browser out on
the next request. Every account _session_user would refuse — gone,
deactivated, suspended, revoked — is refused and dropped from the list.
Share page (/watch)
- An IPv6 client is limited by its /64 (client_ip becomes client_key, for
every limiter): keyed on the full address, one subscriber could rotate
through endless identities. The comments now state what the per-link
ceiling costs: guessing from five networks can keep a link shut for its
window, and guesses already running when it fills are still checked.
- The link is looked up before the limiter records the attempt, so made-up
tokens no longer grow it by an entry each.
Forms
- Failing the same way twice is announced again: the sign-in, passphrase
and setup errors are keyed on the attempt (a clear and a set in one
handler left the alert node untouched).
- The install wizard's own validation showed the generic error — it threw
plain objects its catch did not read. It sets the step's message.
Tests: a re-pin leaving the previous account's notices behind; the pin
hand-over; switching to an ended account; the /64 viewer; made-up tokens;
the repeated alerts. Each mutation-checked RED for its own reason.
Deep-review round 3 over main..improvement/watch-background-audio.
Account boot
- The notification history and settings, and the hints toggle, are read
when their modules load, which in a new tab (bookmark, typed URL) is
before BootGate pins the account: they read as nobody's, and the tab's
first notice replaced the account's stored history (up to 100 entries)
with a one-item list. They now read again when the tab is pinned
(onAccountPinned, run by setActiveAccount); a notice raised before the
pin stays, after the history.
- A tab pinned to an account still in this browser's wallet but whose
session ended (suspended, deleted, or revoked by "log out everywhere")
got "signed out" from /api/me while the default account was still
signed in, and signing in again as anyone else left it there. A refused
per-tab account now leaves the wallet, and the probe answers as the
default, so the tab reloads onto it.
Share page (/watch)
- The password unlock is limited per viewer (link + client IP), under a
per-link ceiling that counts only wrong passwords. Keyed on the link
alone, ten wrong guesses every five minutes locked out every viewer,
the ones with the password included. client_ip moves to app.ratelimit
so the public routes can key on it.
- Its failure messages and the load-failure screen are announced
(role=alert, the password input described by its error). The sign-in,
passphrase, password-change and setup form errors get role=alert too.
Comments that still described removed machinery are corrected: App's
collapse flags, SettingsPanel's Save bar, ConfigPanel, authed_format_sig.
Tests: the account's history and hints across the pin; a revoked and a
suspended pinned account; the per-viewer limit and the ceiling; the
limiter's exhausted(); the share page's announced failures; a share
link's feed filters persisted. Each mutation-checked RED for its own
reason.
Deep-review remediation for the E7 upload path, all findings adversarially verified:
- Serve every library file with a Content-Type chosen from the ffprobe-verified media_kind
+ a strict container allow-list (storage.served_media_type), never guessed from the
user-controlled file extension. Closes a stored-XSS vector where a media/HTML polyglot
uploaded as "evil.html" was served inline as text/html on the login-free /watch surface.
Applied to both the authenticated /file and the public watch_file endpoints.
- Classify uploaded still images (jpg/png/gif/webp/…) as media_kind='file' so they are
force-downloaded and don't get a broken in-app video player.
- Roll back the on-disk side of an upload when the ingest transaction fails after place_file
(unlink the placed file + its deterministic poster path), so a failed commit can't orphan
bytes in the GC-skipped .uploads tree.
- Floor download_upload_max_bytes at min=1 so a stored 0 can't silently disable the per-file cap.
- Dedupe the ffprobe-JSON invocation into edit.run_ffprobe_json (shared by probe_codecs and
upload._probe) and the upload extension into storage._clean_upload_ext; drop the now-unused
parse_probe_streams.
Tests: public + authenticated force-download and the polyglot-not-served-as-HTML guard, the
real _probe classifier (image/cover-art/dims/duration), the ingest rollback/cleanup path, the
max_jobs branch, the cap-floor invariant, and run_ffprobe_json error handling.
Add the non-yt-dlp ingest path so a user-uploaded file joins the same download
library and inherits its function set. Any file type is accepted: media
(video/audio) gets the full set (metadata, share, play/edit), a generic file
(pdf/zip/docx/…) is download-only.
- MediaAsset.media_kind ("video"|"audio"|"file") — the stored discriminator that
gates library actions. Set at every finalize (download probe, editor carries the
source's kind, upload probe); consolidates the ad-hoc audio-detect that lived only
in links.py into one invariant (downloads.mediakind.derive). Migration 0076 adds
the column + backfills existing rows.
- downloads/upload.py: ingest_upload probes the file (ffprobe → codecs/dims/duration),
places it in a per-user .uploads tree, and creates an already-ready asset + done job
(the same cache-hit shortcut enqueue uses). Uploads never expire (irreplaceable).
- POST /api/downloads/upload: streaming multipart with the per-file cap
(download_upload_max_bytes, default 500 MiB) enforced on actual bytes read; quota
charges the known size up front (quota.check_upload).
- Security: a generic file is always served force-download (attachment +
application/octet-stream) on both the in-app and public endpoints, so uploaded
HTML/SVG can't execute inline. Edit + redownload reject non-media / upload sources.
- python-multipart added (first multipart endpoint in the app).
- C-3.7: fold a per-link password_version into the signed watch grant (migration
0059 adds the column) and bump it on every password change, so rotating a share
link's password invalidates outstanding grants at once instead of letting them
live out the 6h TTL. make_grant/check_grant take the version; update_link bumps.
- C-3.8: the share recipient picker and share-by-email now reuse the messageable
filter (not-demo AND active AND not-suspended) instead of only excluding demo,
so suspended/deactivated addresses aren't leaked or reachable as targets.
- C-3.9: GET /keys/{user_id} adopts get_thread's MB2 guard — a non-messageable
target with no shared history returns the same "User not found" as a missing id,
so it can't be probed to enumerate users or fetch suspended users' keys.
- C-3.12: _register_account catches IntegrityError on the insert (the select-then-
insert TOCTOU) and treats it as the already-registered no-op.
- C-3.13: trigger_job claims the running flag atomically under _activity_lock
(compare-and-set) instead of a bare check, closing the double-start window.
- Move _messageable/is_messageable_user into a shared app/userscope.py so downloads
doesn't import the messages route module.
- C3: `_reference_url` (downloads.py) and public.py's inline source-URL block were
the same rule → extract `service.reference_url(job, asset)`; both surfaces now
share it so the "downloaded from" link can't drift between them.
- C4: Content-Disposition filename derivation (ext pick + doubled-ext strip + join)
was duplicated in download_file and watch_file → extract
`storage.download_filename(display_name, container, path)`.
- C5: inline the one-line `_clean_basename` passthrough (folded into C4).
- C6: the `db.get(MediaAsset, job.asset_id) if job.asset_id else None; _serialize(...)`
resolve-then-serialize dance was repeated across 6 single-job handlers → fold into
`_serialize_job(db, job)`. (File-serving handlers that use the asset for their own
checks keep their explicit resolve.)
Behavior-neutral; ruff/parse clean, localdev boots, downloads routes load.
- C1: remove downloads/formats.py target_ext() — defined but never called (the
worker derives the real extension from the produced file's suffix).
- C2: the download-root containment+existence guard was copy-pasted 6× across the
file-serving endpoints (routes/downloads.py ×3, routes/public.py ×3). Extract
storage.safe_abs_path(root, rel) -> Path|None so this security-sensitive check
lives in one place; behavior identical (same containment test + messages). The
extraction also made `pathlib.Path` unused in both route modules (removed).
Two visual gaps for non-catalog downloads:
- Channel link: YouTube already exposes channel_url; Facebook exposes none but a
numeric uploader_id that resolves at facebook.com/<id>. `_uploader_url` derives
it so the auto-detected channel renders as a real clickable link.
- Poster: a source with no thumbnail (e.g. a direct reddit HLS URL) showed a
blank image box. The worker now cuts a representative frame with ffmpeg
(`ensure_poster`) into the `<base>.jpg` sidecar and records `poster_path`
(migration 0050). The card, the public watch page (<video poster> + og:image),
and link previews fall back to it via new authed + public poster endpoints.
Adds `app.downloads.backfill` (one-off, re-run-safe) to fill uploader_url
(re-extract YouTube/Facebook metadata) and posters for pre-existing downloads.
The edit (pencil) action now edits a download's full display metadata — title,
channel name, channel link and any number of extra reference URLs — instead of
just the name. The channel and links render as clickable links on the library
card, and the channel link is auto-filled from the source (yt-dlp channel_url)
when available. Shared watch pages resolve the same per-download overrides, so a
rename/channel/link edit is reflected on the public /watch page too, with every
link clickable.
Adds migration 0049 (media_assets.uploader_url; download_jobs.display_uploader,
display_uploader_url, extra_links) and generalizes the rename endpoint into a
metadata update with URL validation. EN/HU/DE strings included.
Share a download by a capability URL (/watch/{token}) that anyone can play on a login-free page —
distinct from the registered-user ACL share. Per-link controls: optional expiry, allow-download
toggle (stream-only vs downloadable), optional argon2 password. Revoke = delete.
- migration 0042 + DownloadLink model; app/downloads/links.py (token, HMAC grant sign/verify)
- owner endpoints (POST/GET/PATCH/DELETE links) + /recipients for the internal user picker
- public router (no auth): watch meta / password unlock→signed grant / range-aware file serve
(inline vs attachment); unlock is rate-limited; meta verifies the file exists on disk
Verified end-to-end: 206 range, inline vs attachment, wrong-password 403, tampered-grant 403.
