Layering cleanup, no behaviour change (ruff clean backend+scripts, pytest 193):
- Invert the scheduler->routes dependency: reset_demo_state (+ its demo-seed
helpers) move from routes/admin.py to a new service module app/demo.py.
Both routes/admin.py and scheduler.py now import it from app.demo, so the
scheduler no longer reaches into the routes layer — its lazy import (the
routes<->scheduler cycle workaround) is gone, hoisted to a top-level import.
- Publish the private symbols that were imported across module boundaries (the
underscore convention was lying): feed._serialize -> serialize,
feed._to_tsquery_str -> to_tsquery_str, videos._insert_stubs -> insert_stubs,
videos._stub_from_playlist_item -> stub_from_playlist_item,
worker._uploader_url -> uploader_url, plex._shared._item_or_404 ->
item_or_404. Scoped renames — the 5 other route modules keep their own truly
private _serialize helpers.
- _release_asset moves from routes/downloads.py to app/downloads/service.py as
the public release_asset (asset bookkeeping is a service concern); the routes
call it via service.release_asset.
- 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.
