A mirrored library that answers "0 items" is not believed (its rows stay), but
that verdict stopped the whole reconcile: one library emptied on Plex with its
mirrored items kept made every run incomplete, and un-watches in every other
library never synced again. Each section now settles on its own walk, and only
the settled sections' rows are cleared; the unsettled ones are named in the
warning.
A library left out of the allowlist is never scanned, so its watch states were cleared on
every reconcile; clearing is now limited to the sections walked. A section we mirror items
from that says it holds 0 is not believed complete. The page size is no longer read as the
section total when totalSize is missing (measured: the server always sends totalSize on a
paged request, 0 for an empty one).
E32 review round 1 (B1, B2, B3, B8).
- Plex watch reconcile: a section the server SAYS is empty (totalSize 0, nothing listed) is a
complete listing. It read as "cut short" forever, so one empty library stopped un-watches from
ever syncing. A listing with no total at all stays incomplete (the client now returns None for
it instead of 0), and a whole scan that listed nothing still clears nothing. Tests now cover
completeness across two sections, both orders.
- Plex collections: no members from a collection whose listing counts some (childCount) keeps
the membership we hold, in the full sync and in the targeted resync after a write.
- YouTube playlists: no items for a playlist whose listing counts some (itemCount) keeps the
mirror in the bulk pull, and is refused as retryable in "reset to YouTube" and in the push
plan/merge, where it read as "YouTube deleted them all". The rule sits beside vanished().
- A playlist deleted on YouTube answered "reconnect your account"; it now says it is gone
(errors.youtube.gone, HU+EN).
- The pure 3-way merge moved to sync/playlist_merge.py; playlists.py is back under 800 lines and
off the size list.
The daily watch reconcile reads "absent from Plex's scan" as "Plex un-watched it" and deletes the
row — but it walked the sections without asking _paginate whether the walk reached the server's
total, so a Plex hiccup mid-walk (an empty page early) un-watched every title it failed to reach
until the next complete run. The scan now reports completeness; an incomplete one still pulls in
what it saw, re-pushes dirty rows, and clears nothing (logged as plex.watch.reconcile_incomplete).
The HU overlay had the same shape: clear every row's HU text, then refill from the listing. It now
reads the listing first and clears only after a complete one. The overlay moved to plex/overlay.py
(plex/sync.py drops under the 800-line limit and off the size ratchet's list).
Tests: plex/paths (23% -> 100%: prefix boundary, longest prefix, dead mount), the reconcile's
clear/keep/re-push rules, the cut-short scan and listing (each seen red with the guard removed).
