CastStrip (a show's page) and PlexInfo (a title's page and the player's overlay) each drew the
cast carousel by hand, and the copies had drifted: the gap, lazy pictures, the name's tooltip, the
initial's size. Both now render CastRow, which takes the overlay's white-on-art palette as a tone;
each caller keeps its own frame and heading. A DOM test holds the palette per variant (seen red
with the tone wired to "panel"). jscpd over the shipped code: 1 clone >= 10 lines -> 0.
The 7 baselined Optional accesses in plex/stream.py were one fact the type did not carry: the
initial spawn (replace_only=None) always supersedes, so only the fallback respawn can get None.
An assert at the call site says so; the pyright baseline drops 195 -> 188.
test_abuse_limits: the public-URL and YouTube enqueue tests stopped at the profile lookup
(400 no_profile) and passed on that unrelated refusal. They now send an inline spec and assert
the job is queued. The same shape — a request whose response is discarded — sat at 53 more
places across the suite (all returned what they should, measured with a TestClient probe);
each now asserts its status, and test_response_checked keeps it that way (seen red).
E31 put the admin pages behind one rail row ("Administration", nav-admin)
that opens a panel. The spec still clicked nav-scheduler, nav-config,
nav-users and nav-audit as rows of their own, and timed out on every engine.
That went unseen from E31 to now because e2e ran in no required gate, the
exact hole E32 closes: the first run of the new release e2e step found it.
The rail test keeps the rail rows. A new test opens each admin page from the
panel and checks that the group row is current and that the reopened panel
marks the page. Seen red before the fix; the whole suite then passes, 52/52.
docs/gates.md lists every place a gate deliberately checks less than it
could, each with its reason and the count measured when the row was
written:
- an ESLint rule off, at warn, or not applied, by scope;
- a weak compiler flag, a ruff ignore, the basedpyright mode and baseline;
- a knip exclusion, a lane that does not run everywhere;
- an accepted CVE.
gates.contract.test.ts reads the EFFECTIVE configuration and fails when a
narrowing has no row:
- ESLint's computed config per scope;
- the three tsconfigs, ruff.toml, pyrightconfig, pytest.ini and knip.jsonc;
- .trivyignore.yaml, where an entry also needs a statement and an expiry;
- CI's pip-audit ignores.
It also pins `--max-warnings 0`, which is what makes a warn-level rule fail.
Seen red on a missing row, a new `off` rule and an allowlist entry without
an expiry.
CLAUDE.md gains the rule E32 exists for: a gate with any real hit is never
switched off or narrowed, and an "enforced by" comment is checked by running
the check. The gate descriptions there, in docs/development.md and in
backend/app/README.md name the lanes as they now are, and the "directly"
recipe points at the full list.
The "class size" item from the quality checklist, measured:
- A shipped file over 800 lines may not grow past its line count today
(13 frontend, 11 backend). No other file may cross 800.
- A function over the complexity limit may not rise, and no new one may
appear. The limit is eslint `complexity` 20 on the frontend (64 functions
over it today) and ruff C901 10 on the backend (32).
- Each is a per-file ceiling. Shrinking is free; an entry back under the
limit must be deleted, so the lists only shrink.
C901 is measured in a test rather than switched on in ruff.toml: ruff has no
per-function baseline, and a noqa would let a function grow without limit.
Coverage (owner decision D4) is printed with no threshold:
`vitest --coverage` (v8) gives 80% of lines, and the pytest lane ends with
the total for app/, 78%. The bar stays "every regression test seen red".
.coverage is ignored by git and kept out of the image's build context.
The first Trivy scan of the shipped image (0.98.0) found four fixable HIGH
advisories. One was pcre2: a Debian fix newer than the base snapshot, now
taken by `apt-get upgrade` at build time. The others were urllib3 (bumped in
the lock), and msgpack, setuptools and urllib3 vendored inside pip itself.
pip is removed once it has installed the lock, since nothing runs it at
runtime.
A local build of this Dockerfile with --pull scans clean: 0 HIGH/CRITICAL
with a fix, no secrets. .trivyignore.yaml is the publish gate's allowlist,
empty today. Each entry must carry a statement and an expiry date.
The server gate adds `vite build` (and with it devOnlyGuard, which until now
first ran inside the image build, after main was pushed) and
`npm audit --omit=dev --audit-level=high`. pip-audit is blocking: when it was
finally read it held three urllib3 advisories with a fix available.
urllib3 goes 2.7.0 -> 2.8.0 as a single in-place pin, passing pip check,
rather than a regeneration that would move every package.
The dev toolchain's 18 advisories are gone:
- vite 5 -> 6.4.3 (path traversal, fs.deny bypass, and esbuild <= 0.24.2
through it);
- vitest 3 -> 4.1.11 (mocker path traversal);
- typescript-eslint 8.46 -> 8.71;
- `npm audit fix` for the rest.
tsc, eslint, knip, all 2269 tests and the build pass unchanged.
scripts/check-node-modules.mjs checks that frontend/node_modules holds
exactly what package-lock.json pins. The local gate's frontend lanes judge
the host tree, and nothing tied it to the lock the image installs.
`npm run knip` now runs a second, --production pass, which asks whether the
code that ships uses an export, not just whether anything does. Of the 47
exports only tests reached:
- 34 are exported for their test and say so with @internal, naming the test.
- 11 were module-private names with a stray `export`. Two of them were not
used at all and are deleted.
- The unused alreadyReported re-export is gone.
Test kits, the e2e suite and the two build-tooling modules are excluded from
the production project, each named in knip.jsonc.
noUncheckedIndexedAccess is now on for the node and e2e tsconfigs too (0
errors), matching the app project. tsconfig.node.json listed a
tailwind.config.js that has not existed since Tailwind 4. That entry is now
playwright.config.ts, which the typed lint finds through this project.
compilerCoverage.contract.test.ts used to check two files. It now runs the
real compiler over all of src (minus tests) and holds the exact set it skips
today, file -> function -> category: 93 functions. A new skip or a category
change is red, and so is a listed skip that has gone, so the list only
shrinks. Channels and DataTable must also show up as compiled, so a harness
that compiled nothing cannot pass.
Measured against the audit's scan: no function this sprint touched started
to skip. PlexPersonView and useOverlayOrder now compile.
reactPlugin.ts claimed the compiler's rules were linted, which was false
while react-hooks/refs was off. That comment and the refs block in
eslint.config.js now say what holds the line and why refs is still off:
245 real hits, pinned by the ratchet, burned down from S3.
eslint now also enforces:
- the React Compiler diagnostics that `recommended` leaves out (todo,
memo-dependencies and ten zero-hit tripwires);
- a description on every suppression, and no blanket disables;
- no focused or skipped tests (vitest and playwright);
- the typed pair no-floating-promises and no-deprecated.
Lint also covers e2e/ and the TypeScript build configs, which `eslint .`
had been skipping in silence.
Every hit is fixed or suppressed inline with a named reason:
- The 31 try statements the compiler cannot lower yet carry a suppression
until S3 rewrites them. Five other compiler skips were plain fixes:
a module counter bumped inside a hook, a ref read in a default
parameter, and a local named like the <section> it renders.
- The real defects behind floating promises are fixed. ChatDock threw at
nobody when the device key store could not be opened. VideoEditor's
play() rejection went unhandled. loadYouTubeApi never rejected, so a
blocked IFrame API left the player on an empty stage forever; it now
fails on a script error or after 15 s, shows its own error with the
way out, and lets the next open try again.
- MutableRefObject, FormEvent and lucide's deprecated brand icon are
replaced. The YouTube glyph now lives in lib/brandIcons.
- The lint-probe harness lets its virtual file names into TypeScript's
default project, so the contract tests still run the real config.
ruff gains RUF100, PLW1510 and flake8-bugbear, every hit fixed rather than
ignored. B008 stays on with FastAPI's Depends/Query declared immutable.
basedpyright moves to standard mode, pytest to --strict-markers, and a hand
run of pytest now requires the database unless SIFTLODE_TEST_REQUIRE_DB=0.
PLW1510 found a real bug: the three ffprobe probes in plex/stream.py never
looked at the exit status, so a probe that failed was read as the file's
truth (an HDR source sent down the HW-safe path, a multi-audio file collapsed
to one track, a subtitle offset taken from garbage) and the warning each
except branch promises never fired. They now run with check=True.
The React Compiler silently skipped Channels and DataTable (a ref written
during render; the refs lint is off), and even once compiled it dropped the
memo of the rows and columns (they reach filterRows/optionsFromColumns past
the page's hooks) and the columns read the open row. Every open, close and
reposition of the right-click menu rebuilt the whole table: on "All" rows
~0.9 s to open and ~0.6 s to close (dev). Now: effect events instead of the
render-written refs, explicit memos for rows, columns and their inputs, a
module-scope keyOf, and the open row reaches its "…" through a small store.
Measured on 397 rows (dev): ~75 ms to open, ~35 ms to close.
A contract test runs the real compiler over both files and fails on any
skipped function. The dropped memos have no automated guard: they need
the full page rendered with its providers; the measurement above is the
evidence.
prefers-reduced-motion hard-disabled the rotation whatever the toggle said,
and Windows reports it whenever its animation effects are off — so the
owner never saw the crossfade. Untouched, the setting now follows the
system (and the toggle shows that state); a pick made on the toggle is
stored and wins on every device.
After a reload the chips (filter panel and the row above the feed) read as
raw UC… ids until the subscription list landed. The names seen last time
are now kept per account (useChannelNames) and name the chips at once; the
list then replaces the copy, so a renamed or dropped channel heals. A
channel never named on this browser draws a placeholder bone while the
list loads; a failed list still falls back to the id.
It printed the tag's whole-library count as the current filter's while the
facets loaded, and for good when they failed: live, "Music 238" beside a
search that matched 3 of its channels. Ordering still falls back to it.
- DataTable: the reveal floor holds only in the view it was made for (Channels
never clears its follow, so every later sort mounted rows up to it)
- Feed + Plex browse: a failed next page stops the read-ahead and shows a row
that retries, instead of re-requesting it once a round-trip
- the YouTube Load more click uses nextPageOnClick; a contract pins NEXT_PAGE
to the read-aheads and the click sites to nextPageOnClick
- ItemCount: a failed count says so; a stale one says updating to a screen reader
- the narrow-picture Play lift applies only where a hover row is there to clear
- PlayerModal: one description ladder for the popover and the panel, both tested
- plexImage contract reads every img src, any attribute order
- Tabs comment names who persists the sub-tab
The page halves compare the cursor's timestamp with the window's in Python;
a null or naive one raised there, past the route's 400. decode_cursor now
refuses a null non-nullable key and a naive timestamp.
keepPreviousData held the last filter's count, and a broad word's count
takes seconds: the pill showed the old number as the new search's. It now
dims and is aria-busy until the new count lands, as AdminLogs does.
A broad word matched most of the library and ts_rank read every match:
"a" took 4.4 s a page on prod. The window's start is read once (0.1 s) and
rides the cursor, so a video ingested mid-scroll cannot repeat a row; the
page is read as its two halves, each on an index (80 ms + 5 ms).
useTags reset the language in a finally while its hook was still mounted;
the switch scheduled a render, and in a loaded gate run it landed after
the jsdom environment was torn down ('window is not defined', two
unhandled errors). auditColumns and comfortPin had the same shape.
The e2e asserted the channel chrome never moves; it folds once now. The
ui catalog lists scrollFold and progressiveRows, Tabs names the
per-tab memory its callers use, and the welcome note says a removed
language orphans its stored copies too.
A concurrent build that failed part-way leaves an INVALID index under its
name; IF NOT EXISTS kept it on the re-run, and 0095 then dropped the old
channel_id index, leaving none usable. The leftover is now dropped and
built again, and the old index goes only once the new one is valid.
rss_all_failed is a plural pair counted on the raw total (the values are
formatted strings, which pick no plural form); both sentences end with a
stop. The Hungarian 'show N more' uses the house's megjelenítése.
The playlist rows, the search box and the collection picker still
fetched the 400px poster for a 32-80px picture. A contract test pins the
set of bare Plex pictures, and the srcset widths to imgcache.SIZES.
At text size 1.3 a 242px feed thumbnail put the 63px Play 13px into the
hover row (the Play grows with the root font, the picture's height does
not). A picture narrower than 14rem centres the Play and the resume pair
above the row; the picture box is a size container for it.
The Downloads title and channel links were 21px tall inline boxes; they
stand on a 24px line now (B1). The player's description says a failed
load, with a retry, instead of 'No description' (both the side panel
and the popover).
NEXT_PAGE joins ANY fetch in flight: a read-ahead during an invalidation
or a poll joined that refetch and appended no page, and nothing asked
again until the reader moved the range (the channel page during a
backfill). The read-ahead now waits while the list fetches anything
(mayReadAhead, re-run on isFetching); a Load older click cancels a poll
instead (nextPageOnClick).
A page turn to a revealed row restarted the progressive mount at 30
rows; Channels focuses that row in the next commit, and at index 40 of
a 50-row page it was not there, so focus fell to <body>. The mount now
reaches through the revealed row.
A 1-2 letter prefix matched most of the library and ts_rank scored every
match: "m" took ~4-8 s on prod against ~150 ms now. The prefix match
starts at three characters (MIN_PREFIX_LEN); shared by the YouTube feed
and the Plex library search.
A watch-state scope (watched / in progress / unwatched) joined the per-user episode rollup into
each show facet query: five passes over the user's episodes per call, half of a filtered facets
request. The shows in scope are now resolved once and every group filters on their ids; the
grid-parity test holds the counts. Localdev: 99 -> 61 ms.
Cards fetched the full cuts: a 400x600 poster (~38 KB) for a ~144px picture and the 1280x720
backdrop (~162 KB) for a ~212px shelf picture. The image proxy now also cuts thumb_sm (240x360)
and art_sm (480x270), cached apart; card pictures (grid, shelves, collection tiles, Up next) carry
both in srcset with sizes=auto, so the browser picks by laid-out width and DPR. Localdev:
17 KB a poster, 56 KB a backdrop. The detail page keeps the full cuts.
The views, duration and title sorts had no index: every page read the whole videos heap and kept a
top-N (prod 350 ms a page, 550-780 for title). Migration 0096 adds one per direction and, for title,
per reader collation, in the exact ORDER BY feedquery builds. Localdev prod copy: plain sorts
180-310 ms -> ~1 ms, page 20 3-5 ms, narrow filters unchanged. view_count/duration are only written
by the enrich, which already rewrites indexed columns, so no HOT update is lost.
The title indexes are the first on an ICU collation, and postgres:16-alpine floats: collation.heal_drift
rebuilds them (CONCURRENTLY) at startup when Postgres reports the ICU version moved.
test_feed_sort_indexes holds every videos sort to an index and checks the rebuild.
react-query's fetchNextPage cancels a next page still loading and sends it again by default.
Our requests ignore the abort signal, so the server ran both: the feed's read-ahead effect
re-runs on scroll frames before isFetchingNextPage reaches it, and on prod every feed page
went out 2-3 times (a 0.8 s title sort queued to 2.3 s). Every call now passes NEXT_PAGE
({cancelRefetch: false}), lint-enforced, with a contract test.
The channel manager's All page (~400 rows) blocked one frame for 0.7-0.9 s on prod to mount,
and every sort and search key re-rendered every row (300-400 ms). No single cell is to blame,
measured column by column. DataTable now mounts the first 30 rows at once and 40 more per
background transition; a new page, size, sort, filter or caller-side search (narrowedBy)
starts over from the first rows. A row is its own component, so the compiler keeps the rows a
step already holds.
GET /api/channels summed every subscribed channel's videos by reading each video's heap page
(681 MB on prod): 51-61 ms warm, but 2.25 s on a first open and 6.4 s under EXPLAIN once the
table had left memory. /feed/summary and /feed/years did the same (~140 ms warm, ~800 ms cold).
Migration 0095 replaces ix_videos_channel_pub_desc with the same key INCLUDING the columns
those queries read, so they are Index Only Scans over a 25 MB index. A test holds the queries
and the index's column list together.
The admin Configuration page did a db.get per setting (two for an unset one): it now reads
every override in one query (~40 ms of ~55 on prod).
The hero's grid row is as tall as the crew column beside the text, and the poster, a flex child,
stretched to it: a 2:3 picture drawn ~175x590 and cropped. It now aligns to the top, and a wide hero
gives the movie and show poster a bigger rung (w-56). The crew, the hero's tallest part, shows its
first 6 names and a 'Show N more' toggle; a list of 8 or fewer shows whole.
- Channel page: the banner and identity block fold away once the grid scrolls
(ui/scrollFold: folds past 32px only if the page can stay scrolled, unfolds
at the very top) and the name rides in the tab row. One Back button in both
states keeps its focus; folded at a tablet width the actions wrap instead of
pushing the page sideways.
- Plex movie and show pages: the TMDB facts over the key crew are the hero's
second column (plexDetailAside), the keywords sit under the text; the show
page shows them for the first time, with the same three toggles. A
collection's hero is sized to its text.
- YouTube player, 1280px and wider: the title, channel, actions, description
and queue sit in a side panel beside the video, which takes the window's
height (1438x809 at 1920x911, was ~1008 wide). The wheel scrolls that panel
while it can and turns the volume elsewhere.
- DESIGN.md decision log: the keywords' place under the text.
"1 seasons", "Synced 1 subscriptions", "1 video(s) were skipped": 21 English
strings carried {{count}} in one plain key and read plural at one. Each is a
_one/_other pair now (Hungarian keeps one form for both), and so is every other
counted string, so the next wording change is a plural too. A contract test
holds the rule for every locale file.
Settings, Configuration, Statistics and Users kept the last sub-tab in localStorage, so every
fresh tab opened Configuration on "Plex" as if that were its home. useTabPersistedState keeps it
in sessionStorage (account-scoped): a reload and a trip to another page keep it, a new tab starts
on the first sub-tab. The pre-selects (a Review link, the Google-link return) write the same store;
a value an older build left in localStorage is cleared on first read.
- NavRailGroup: one "Admin" rail row opening a panel of the admin pages (links, so a
middle-click still opens a tab); the rail fits 133% zoom without a hidden scroll
- sysconfig.SECTIONS orders the config groups under four headings (every group in exactly
one, test-held); the page shows them as Settings' side list (Tabs `group` headings);
the lone registration group reads "Registration" under "Access"
- StatTiles / StatTile / StatBars: the Statistics overview's figures as tiles, the
per-operation quota use as horizontal bars (a zero draws none)
The owner read a fold that broke at every other job as the same row five
times. A job's successful runs now fold into one row at the newest run's
place across other jobs and admin actions; only that job's own failed or
skipped run breaks the fold (it stays its own row, and older successes
start a new fold below it).
- Nav rail page rows are real links (/?page=<id>): a middle-click or
Ctrl-click opens the page in a new tab; a plain click stays in-app.
- A fresh channel page shows the unwatched videos; a picked watch state
is a remembered preference (channelShow).
- Users: the role, suspend and delete move into the row's one menu
(the "…", right-click, Shift+F10); locked ones keep their reason.
- Audit log: back-to-back successful runs of one job fold into one row
that opens to the earlier ones; a failed run reads in the danger colour.
- DESIGN.md decision log: the E31 picks.
The audit log showed a failed RSS poll as the server's English sentence
under a Hungarian UI. A job can now raise progress.JobFailed(reason,
message, **params): the scheduler stores the reason and params as the
run's data (dashboard, manual-run notice, audit row) beside the English
line, and the client renders scheduler.failure.<reason>. The RSS outage
names its first channel and the reason code (HTTP 404 vs unreachable).
An upstream's own error text stays as raised (diagnostic).
- The browser tab names the place and the object: PageHeading reports the
view's own title (lib/documentTitle), so a channel, playlist or any Plex
view reads "<object> · <module> · Siftlode" however it was opened; the
Feed is named too; a season adds its show (tabTitle).
- The channel page's tab + action row wraps and lets the tag lane fold into
"+N": at 1024 it ran past the edge and the page scrolled sideways.
- The YouTube player card's width is capped from the window height less the
chrome measured under the video: at 133% zoom (685px) it cut its channel row.
- Plex certificate words (Not Rated, Approved, Passed) are named through the
vocabulary on the info badge, show page, collection, filter and chips.
- DESIGN.md: the zoom target is 125% and 133%, not 200% (decision log).
E31 S1: the welcome is rendered once, at account creation, so an account that
switched language kept it in the old one (the owner's, English under a
Hungarian UI). A stored copy is recognised by its opening line (derived from
WELCOME) and served in the reader's language; other system messages stay as
stored.
