22 test files set `app.dependency_overrides[...]` by hand and tore down with a blanket `.clear()`
in a `finally`, which wipes every override rather than the test's own and stops fixtures composing.
They now take the `override_dep` fixture (helpers get it passed in), whose teardown restores each
key's prior value; no clear() carried meaning between two phases of a test. A convention test fails
any test file that writes `dependency_overrides` directly.
A new Discover rail listing what the user last FULLY watched, newest first: a movie as its
own card, a show as the specific EPISODE watched (carrying its show title via leaf_card). Sits
above Recently added. Movies honour the sidebar filters like the other rails; episodes carry no
filterable metadata so they don't. Clicking a card plays it (the existing onCard path already
routes episodes to the player). Bilingual heading added.
Verified live: the rail renders watched movies + episodes with Watched badges.
Gate: tsc/lint/knip/prettier clean, 423 vitest; backend ruff clean, 13 discover tests (+ a
recently-watched movie+episode assertion).
The Surprise rail drew a random 20+20 sample including already-watched titles. Its point is
to surface something to WATCH, so exclude seen titles (a watched movie, a fully-watched show
— a partially-watched or never-started show still counts as unseen) and cap at 3 movies + 3
shows (6 total), interleaved.
Verified live: /surprise returns 6 items, 3+3, none watched.
Gate: backend ruff clean, 12 discover tests (+ a watched-exclusion/cap assertion).
The Browse-by-genre tiles and the Collections browse tiles were flat color-hash
gradients. Give each a 2×2 collage of its top films' poster art, with the color hash
kept as the fallback so a group with no matching art (a show-only or empty collection)
never renders blank.
Backend: a shared `top_art_keys` windowed query returns, per key (a genre value or a
collection rating_key), the top few items' rating_keys — best-rated then newest, in one
query. Wired into the Discover genre tiles and the collections union endpoint; the client
renders the posters from the existing /api/plex/image/{key} endpoint, so no new image
plumbing. Frontend: a shared PosterTile component (collage + scrim + label, color-hash
fallback) replaces the two ad-hoc colored-tile implementations.
Verified live on localdev: genre tiles and collection tiles render real poster collages,
with the color fallback correctly kicking in for groups without art.
Gate: tsc/lint/knip/prettier clean, 423 vitest; backend ruff clean, 11 discover tests
(incl. a new genre-art assertion).
Discover now behaves like the Browse grid — the active metadata filters (genre /
rating / year / collection / studio / …) narrow every rail: Continue watching,
Recently added, Surprise me, the genre tiles, and Because you watched. Same
LibraryFilters / meta_filter_conds the grid uses, applied to each rail's movie +
show query (movie duration included); a rail may come back empty, which the client
already hides. Genre-language matches the grid.
Because Discover honours filters itself, adding a filter no longer force-flips the
Discover landing to the grid (only a header SEARCH does, since Discover has no
search rail) — so you stay on Discover with narrowed rails.
Frontend threads `filters` into api.plexDiscover/plexSurprise + their query keys
(plexSurprise is variadic now) and the watched-toggle setQueryData; PlexDiscover
reads them from usePlex. Tests: two discover filter-narrowing cases; PlexDiscover
dom test updated for the provider default + 3-arg call.
Full-epic /deep-review (11 finders + 12 adversarial verifiers) surfaced no HIGH; every
mechanism finding calibrated to LOW on verification. Fix all 13:
Correctness / reliability:
- Combobox: Enter now commits the VISUALLY highlighted row (highlightIndex ?? activeIndex),
not the bare keyboard activeIndex — so arrow-then-hover-then-Enter no longer toggles a
different option than the one painted, and hover-with-no-arrow is no longer a silent no-op.
- parse_person: dedup the known_for pool by (id, media_type), not the bare id — TMDB movie
and tv id spaces are independent, so a same-id movie+show pair is two distinct credits
(matches the collision-safe key the rest of the module already uses).
- person-enrich: a per-person in-flight + 60s cooldown guard (people._should_schedule_enrich)
dedups concurrent opens and rate-limits re-triggering while TMDB is degraded (a transient
TmdbError leaves the watermark NULL), so bursts can't pile 8s tasks onto the shared threadpool.
- PlexInfo compact()/money(): format with i18n.language (keeping currency USD) instead of a
hardcoded en/en-US, matching the app's Intl convention.
- delete the dead `plex.filter.add` i18n key (both locales) — the +Add button that used it is gone.
Reuse:
- _continue_watching reuses rollup.agg_subquery(include_resumed=True) + query.apply_show_state_filter
instead of a third hand-inlined copy of the per-show rollup + in_progress predicate, so the
Discover rail can't drift from the grid's definition.
Test coverage (the gaps a regression would ship through):
- resolve_library_guids scope-exclusion (a credit in a non-scoped/disabled library is dropped)
+ the []-vs-None distinction; parse_person cross-media-id retention; enrich_person transient
(NULL watermark) and 404 (stamp) branches; _enrich_person_bg body (fresh session close/rollback,
None-guard) + the cooldown dedup; continue_watching fully-watched-show exclusion; Combobox
Enter-commits-highlighted + async/controlled-query mode; PopoverItem aria-checked contract;
RatingsRow missing-IMDb + imdb==audience branches.
Backend lane 413→420, FE vitest 351→357; all gates green. No migration.
Address the deep-review's deferred backend items so E5 is review-complete:
- person-enrich OFF the request path (ABUSE finding): person_detail no longer makes
the TMDB call inline (even bounded to 8s it sat on the serve thread, un-throttled,
demo-reachable — it violated the module's "no live TMDB call at serve time"
invariant). It now schedules a FastAPI BackgroundTask (people._enrich_person_bg,
fresh session, best-effort) after the response; the first open serves the row as-is
and the bio lands by the next open. The inline try/rollback recovery is gone with it.
- reuse: a shared tmdb.resolve_library_guids owns the collision-safe guid→library
bucketing (movie vs tv ids are independent sequences) that resolve_recs and
people._resolve_known_for each hand-duplicated; a new rollup.item_state_map dedups
the "PlexState-by-item_id" fetch across the person + discover paths.
- test gaps: enrich_batch transient TmdbError leaves the watermark NULL to retry;
guid_to_tmdb_id resolves a tvdb source + tv media_type via /find's tv_results;
_continue_watching includes a NULL-status started movie and excludes a hidden one;
/api/search/youtube returns 422 (not 5xx) when ingest fails (route-level, B-core-1).
Backend lane 403 → 413, ruff clean. No migration; serve contracts unchanged.
A dedicated Plex "Discover" landing — a stack of horizontal Carousel rails
served from ONE consolidated read (serve-from-DB, no live Plex/TMDB call):
- GET /api/plex/discover → continue_watching (in-progress movies + shows, most
recently progressed) · recently_added · genres (top-N tiles) ·
because_you_watched (recs of the most-recent watched, TMDB-enriched movie,
resolved to library rows by guid via serve_block's resolver).
- GET /api/plex/surprise → a fresh random, scope-bounded sample for the ↻ rail.
Frontend: PlexDiscover.tsx (rails reuse the S1 Carousel + S3 PlexPosterCard;
colored genre tiles → tap to filter the grid; ↻ reshuffles the surprise rail
alone). Discover is now the root sub-view; the flat grid becomes the bookmarkable
"Browse all" secondary view (?v=browse) reached by a header search/filter (a
browse-intent flip) or the new Discover⟷Browse toggle.
resolve_recs is promoted from _resolve_recs (now cross-module). Tests:
test_plex_discover.py (rail shape/order, continue-watching, because-you-watched
+ null, surprise bounds, scope) and PlexDiscover.dom.test.tsx; plexSubUrl
round-trip updated for discover-root/grid-browse. Backend lane 393, vitest 332.
