The Files library starts here. A user's every download, clip and upload now
lands in a source folder made per origin (YouTube, Plex clips, uploads, one per
other site), decided once in downloads/folders.py at every place a job is made.
How long a file stays moves from the shared asset to the user's job: stamped
from its folder when it is done, never for a file the user keeps. The GC warns
each user once, then takes the expired file out of their library; the cache cap
never evicts a kept file, and an evicted one leaves every holder's library.
The media mount is /files now (FILES_ROOT, FILES_HOST_PATH, volume
siftlode_files); docs/self-hosting.md says how to carry an old volume over.
Migration 0102 places every existing job and carries each done file's expiry
over from its asset.
safe_abs_path takes a missing path and answers None, which drops one baselined
type error.
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.
- The download and edit failure lines go back after their DB write: a job the
write could not fail is not a failed job, and the worker's child_exit line
already says it failed.
- The download child's runner is the last stop before Python's hook: an
escaping exception is one download.child.failed line with its chain scrubbed,
then exit 1, instead of a raw stderr traceback carrying the URL.
- A crash the database will not record carries its stack once, and the
fail-write line has an event code.
- The job's own generic-extractor name is taken out as a literal (formats.hiding),
so brackets and colons in a direct link's file name no longer leak; the
pattern stays as the fallback. `Downloading just the video <id>` is covered.
- Tests: scrubbed_stack's cause, suppress, unprintable and text-format paths,
the image steps' failure kinds, the watchdog error through the real
_fail_running, exact poster/storyboard messages, ffmpeg skip marker.
- A failure keeps its traceback unless it is yt-dlp's or our own StatedFailure (a
message that is the whole story). A plain RuntimeError, RecursionError or OSError
is also what a bug of ours raises, and its stack is the only lead.
- The stack is scrubbed link by link (logs.scrubbed_stack): a chained DownloadError
under a DB error no longer prints yt-dlp's text unscrubbed.
- Engine hide_parameters: a DB error's message no longer carries the title or path
it was writing.
- The download and edit failure lines go out even when their DB write fails.
- The worker's child_exit/crash/supervisor lines say download.job.failed only when
the job failed there; a crash the DB will not record no longer ends the thread.
Stopping a paused child is download.child.stopped, not a second abort.
- log_safe also covers generic ids with spaces, playlist titles and bare ids.
- The ffmpeg image steps log the failure kind, not the argv with its path.
- The consent contract accepts only the body of a plain consented_trace() check,
and any level that may be TRACE.
- Tests for each; every one mutation-checked.
- 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.
