- Uploads: one at a time per user and ten an hour, each refused only after its body arrived;
the history read an entry at a time (32 MiB cap), a Watch later list capped at YouTube's 5000,
a user's kept videos at 200k; any unreadable shape is a 422, not a 500.
- Quota: Watch later lookups stop at the backfill reserve and at a per-user daily share; what is
not asked about waits, known videos still go in, and the shorts job retries the rest.
- Staging and settling share one per-user advisory lock (no deadlock); a run settles only the
rows it read, so a row staged meanwhile is never called gone.
- A failed run's notice names a translated failure, never the upstream's text.
- The status says when an import is queued; the page watches it to its end even when left, then
reads the feed, its counts and the playlists again.
- Settings: one live region, the zone kept (unavailable) while a run goes, focus handed back,
a missed drop kept from the browser, an oversize file refused before it is sent.
- Scheduler and run lists show Takeout runs by the importing user.
The owner-filter check missed an aliased() model, an import alias, .in_() and
filter_by; four live inline filters on aliased VideoState go through owned_by now.
Cross-unit writes are seen under any import name, through sa.update and via
__table__. Core modules may commit only where CORE_COMMITS names the reason;
trim_read and audit.gc flush now and their callers commit. The pin target, the
debug-session header and a link's target fetch through owned_row. The docs
claim what the fence holds, and say what is beyond it.
Capture's routes (downloads, files, public watch links) and the token list no longer build SQL, call
the session or set a model's fields: reads are downloads/queries, writes the unit's service (service,
folders, links, quota), and each write flushes for the handler to commit. Whose a row is goes
through userscope (owned_by, owned_row), which owned_or_404 now uses too.
The fence holds Capture below its routes as well: it reads only Catalog's and Plex's tables, writes
no other unit's, filters owners through userscope and commits only in its jobs and the upload
ingest. A test per service use case, among them that the tray lists only the caller's files.
/api/files is the library's home: list a user's done files (by folder, searched, sorted, or the
ones shared with them), rename / move / keep / delete a file, make, rename and delete own folders
(a deleted folder's files go back to their source folders), and set how long any folder keeps a
file — done files shift by the difference, never closer than the GC's warning window.
An upload can name its folder (an own folder or Uploads), checked before the body is read and again
before the file lands; it is hashed while it streams, and any file can be hashed on first ask. The
download says the hash (Repr-Digest) once it is known; a new file at an asset's path forgets it.
Uploads, deletes, keeps, moves and folder changes are audited (ids only). The fileless "expired"
rows of the old retention are deleted by migration 0103: an expired file now leaves the library.
The shared route helpers moved to routes/files.py; the old /api/downloads library routes delegate
to the new ones until the client moves over.
- The client's resume thresholds equal the server's (read from both sources).
- The session stop's URL matches the route the server serves it on.
- The player stops its server session by its item and its own id on an unload and on close,
and keeps it when the page only goes into the back/forward cache.
Plex, library and /watch tell the operating system what plays (title, line, picture) and take its
play / pause / skip / seek through one hook (lib/mediaSession); the Plex player drives it with its own
seek and clock, so the lock screen shows the film's position, not the stream's. The YouTube player is
left alone: its iframe already publishes all of it, and the OS routes to the frame that plays.
The library and /watch players get the basic keys (lib/mediaKeys, the keymap's mediaPlayer rows) and
open where the viewer stopped (lib/resume): the library keeps the point on the server, per user and
library item (library_states, POST /api/downloads/{id}/progress, listed back on both listings), the
shared link in this browser. A started library row continues, its menu can start it over, and its
picture carries the cards' progress bar. The resume rule (too early / near the end = from the start)
is one function shared with the YouTube route.
The library dialog opens focused on its panel (Modal initialFocus "player"): on the ✕, Space closed
the film. While the media element itself has the focus, Space and the arrows stay its own controls'
— the browser acts on them whatever a listener does, and one Space played and paused.
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.
playlistNotFound was mapped to "gone" everywhere: exploring a channel without uploads (its
uploads list answers not found) and a list deleted mid bulk pull both said a playlist no
longer exists. The reason is now "gone" only on single-playlist routes; explore reads it
as an empty back-catalogue, and the bulk pull skips that list and syncs the rest.
Two adds read the same max(position) and a reorder racing an add collided with
it. Every add/insert/reorder takes the parent row FOR UPDATE; the YouTube list
breaks position ties by id and a Plex reorder renumbers rows it was not sent.
Found in the browser UAT, not by the gate. Moving the cap onto the arriving
bytes meant it fires while the client is still sending, and answering + closing
mid-upload is what XHR reports as a network failure: the upload dialog said
"the server couldn't be reached" while the access log showed a correct 422
carrying the limit. A refusal the client cannot read is an outage as far as the
user is concerned.
`capped_stream_to` now reads the remainder to nowhere before raising, so the
client finishes sending and reads the real answer -- re-measured in the
browser, which now names the limit. Nothing past the cap is written, and the
request is still bounded by bodylimit's ceiling, so the cost is bandwidth an
AUTHENTICATED caller was sending anyway. The anonymous path is untouched:
auth still resolves before a byte is read.
The regression test sits on the helper, not the route, and the reason is worth
keeping: the route-level version was written first and PASSED with the drain
deleted. httpx's ASGI transport pumps the request body whether or not the app
reads it, so "drained" and "abandoned" are indistinguishable through
TestClient. Its own mutation check is what exposed it.
`POST /api/downloads/upload` declared `file: UploadFile = File(...)`, and
FastAPI parses and spools a declared body before the first dependency runs --
`require_human` included. An unauthenticated caller could therefore make the
process write the whole per-file allowance (500 MiB by default) to temp, once
per request. SEC-20's ceiling bounded that number but could not stop the
writing, which is why E27 parked it rather than closing it.
The route now takes no body parameter. `spool_upload` names `require_human`
first and only then streams `request.stream()` to the staging temp file, so a
stranger is refused before a byte moves -- the shape the screenshot route has
used since E16. Filename and display name travel as percent-encoded headers
(latin-1 on the wire, so a Hungarian filename needs the encoding) instead of
multipart parts.
`capped_stream_to` joins `capped_body` in routes/_common.py: the same counting
rule, written to a file descriptor rather than accumulated, because holding
500 MiB would trade a disk problem for a memory one. Its refusal is the
caller's, so the upload route keeps answering 422 `upload_too_large` with the
admin knob's own number.
With no envelope to allow for, the edge is now exactly that knob, and
MULTIPART_ENVELOPE_ALLOWANCE is gone.
The invariant stops being prose: test_body_limit.py asks FastAPI itself
(`route.dependant.body_params`) and fails the gate if any route with a raised
ceiling declares a body. A comment could not have prevented the defect it
described; that test would have.
Both new tests were seen red for the right reason -- before the fix the
anonymous probe got its 401 only after the server had read 4236 bytes of a
multipart body, and re-declaring the File parameter turns the invariant test
red naming the route and the parameter.
- admin config group "Bug reports": Gitea address, repository, token (secret),
and "Check the connection" — the repository must answer, take issues and
be PRIVATE (a report carries its reporter's log); checked on every send too
- POST /api/debug-sessions/{id}/issue sends the SAVED draft: create the issue,
upload each file on its own request (the measured API), then show the
screenshots inline; progress is kept in the draft, so a send that stops
half-way keeps its issue and the retry sends only what is missing; 5 new
issues an hour per user; audited as issue_create
- the composer: Create issue (only where a tracker is set up, naming the
repository), a partial-send banner with retry, and a Preview — the tracker's
own rendering in a sandboxed frame, or the zip's markdown without one
- the recorder's refusals answer in the localized family (debug_session_*,
screenshot_*, issue(s)_*), not bare codes the UI could only call generic
- a tracker refusal logs the status only: its message can quote the title back
A session is one recording, capped at 60 minutes by the server. While it is
open, a request naming the caller's own session in X-Debug-Session is logged
at the session's level with every line tagged; a header naming anything else
is ignored. The browser's batches count a session as consent to its level and
keep the tag only on its own events. Screenshots are judged by their bytes,
capped in size and count, and served back to their owner only.
- debug_sessions / debug_screenshots tables, one open session per user
(partial unique index), log_events.debug_session_id indexed
- /api/debug-sessions: start (joins a running one), stop, list, get, events,
screenshots; /api/me reports the live session
- the hourly log job closes expired sessions and drops them with the logs
- logsink.serialize and routes._common.capped_body shared by their readers
~150 HTTPExceptions carried a hand-written English sentence as their detail,
shown verbatim under the Hungarian UI — in the blocking error dialog and on
every inline surface that printed HttpError.detail (sign-in, setup wizard,
change password, the passphrase gate, live search). Four also quoted an
upstream exception's text back to the user.
- app/refusal.py: `refused(status, reason, **params)` → {code: "refused",
reason, …params}; localizeDetail translates errors.refused.<reason> with the
params interpolated. "Unknown X" 404s use the existing not_found(what).
- sysconfig.set_value raises InvalidSetting (reason + bounds) instead of an
English ValueError; the three writers answer it through setting_refused.
- The Plex connection/write/image failures log what the upstream said and
answer a reason; the search scraper's failure is logged and answered as
youtube/unavailable (it crashed refusal_reason before).
- HttpError.detail now only ever holds a translated reason: a string detail
(only the framework's own can remain) is left out, so reading .detail is
safe everywhere — including destructured, the hole the raw-detail source
scan could not see. That scan and its five-file exception list are gone.
- Enforced: test_http_details.py fails on any HTTPException with a sentence
for a detail; the contract test requires every refused reason and every
not_found "what" in both languages, and no key for one that is gone.
- local/jsx-comment-text: a // inside JSX children renders as text; the rule
is ten lines in eslint.config.js rather than eslint-plugin-react's ~1800
lockfile lines.
The two manual syncs (subscriptions import, playlist pull) had no YouTubeError
handler, so a quota, token or transport failure was a raw 500 and the blocking
"Server error" dialog (E9 F1). The other YouTube routes answered either the
upstream's English or a playlist-scoped "youtube_failed".
One helper, routes/_common.youtube_refusal: 422 {code: "youtube", reason} with
the reason sorted by what the user can do — quota (wait for the reset),
reconnect (the token step refused), unavailable (retry). Used by every route
that surfaces a YouTube failure; localizeDetail translates it.
"Reconnect" had no path: a grant Google revoked still read as granted, so
Settings and the wizard offered no connect button while every call failed.
An invalid_grant from the token endpoint now clears the stored grant.
Deep-review round 3 of bug hunt 2026-09.
- get_or_404 / owned_or_404 answer a structured {code: "not_found", reason: <what>}
(errors.notFound.* in HU+EN, generic fallback). The structured-404 fix of round 2 had gone into the
ad-hoc `_own_playlist` (CLAUDE.md's "Not" pattern) while the shared helpers stayed string-only, so
views, tags, pins, Plex playlists, invites and users still 404'd in English. `_own_playlist` now
goes through owned_or_404; admin's hand-rolled user lookups use get_or_404.
- A move into a list that is gone names the TARGET (reason "move_target") — "this playlist doesn't
exist any more" was read as the list on screen, which still exists.
- Every refusal in the playlists router is a {code: "playlist", reason} (playlists.errors.* HU+EN)
instead of a bare English string shown verbatim in the Hungarian UI.
- `req` / `uploadReq` mark the errors they already put on screen (the error dialog, the connection
notice, the 401 sign-out), and notifyActionError skips those. The watched toggles, the saved views
and a playlist delete toasted a fault the dialog was already showing; Playlists' two hand-written
status filters now go through the same check.
Establish the R6 API-contract infra before the S1b payload:dict migration:
- iso(dt) in utils.py replaces the ~16 hand-rolled `x.isoformat() if x else None`
serializer idioms across the routes.
- get_or_404 / owned_or_404 in routes/_common.py — one 404 + existence-leak policy;
plex's _own_playlist_or_404 and saved_views' _own_view now delegate to it.
- require_write_scope dependency in auth.py collapses the inline has_write_scope→403
checks (channels subscribe/unsubscribe, playlists push/push-plan) that had drifted
into three different messages into one; the conditional delete_playlist guard stays
inline (its message was already canonical).
No response-shape change (iso == isoformat for a present value). Gate: ruff clean,
pytest 163 green (+ test_utils for iso).
