f4m, ism, a bare m3u8 (native under hls_prefer_native) and the DASH generator fetch through the
proxy, but were dropped as if ffmpeg dialled them. The filter also took the job's postprocessor
hook, twice, and painted every guarded job "processing" before a byte arrived. Tests now hold an
allowed tunnel, the worker's own gate, the single-URL branch, and that the pipeline and the
backfill turn the gate on while YouTube does not.
YouTube reports a 24/7 stream's archive with the years it has run (prod: 122,962,914 s), and one
such video made the Watch later total read 44,073 hours. A length past a day is now no length
(`Video.length_seconds`, LENGTH_MAX_S): the API sends none, the playlist and channel totals
leave it out and count it as `live_without_length` ("+N live" beside the sum), and the duration
filter, sort and Home budget never match it. Migration 0117 moves the duration sort indexes onto
the length expression. An AST test holds who may still read the raw column.
The migration 0110 test now ends its read before the way down: 0117 builds an index
CONCURRENTLY there, which waited for that open transaction forever.
Seen live: yt-dlp closes a connection once it has read what it needed, and the
gate printed a traceback for each. A reset ends the tunnel quietly; anything
else the gate cannot finish is a log line with its code, not bare stderr.
The URL guard judged the address the user typed; a public host's 3xx into our
network, a page's formats pointing inside, and a name rebound between the check
and the fetch all got past it, and the stored error told a live internal port
from a dead one. Every non-YouTube download now runs through an egress gate on
the worker's loopback: it resolves each host once, refuses any forbidden answer
before dialling, and connects to the address it vetted. Measured on the worker
image: yt-dlp's proxy reaches the Requests and CurlCFFI handlers, native HLS and
ffmpeg alike. Formats fetched over anything but http(s), which ffmpeg would dial
directly, are dropped, and one factory opens every yt-dlp so none skips it.
- A tag counts the followed channels the Subscriptions tab shows: hidden ones are left out, and a
subscribe, unsubscribe, hide or tag toggle refreshes the count. The Tag manager's row and its
hover list count the same channels as the chip; /api/tags sends both counts under their names.
- A chip's count keeps the chip's colour after a dot (a dimmed count fell under 4.5:1). A pick in
the open "+N" fold closes it; a chip that leaves the list hands the focus to the one in its place.
The fold is a dialog of toggle buttons, not an empty menu.
- Upload: a folder name left by a press is made once the press is over, if the dialog is still
open, instead of guessing a dismissal from Modal's markup. While the folder is made, its place
holds the focus and a live region says so.
- Share: an expired link has no Copy and a warn badge; the link made on open goes into the cached
list, so a reopen makes no second one; the New link form survives the link made on open.
- Watch: a repeated Enter sends one unlock while one is on its way. See all buttons are named with
their rail.
- An unsized clip of a rotated file gets the upright size its crop cut.
- Share: a link that expired is never copied (the dialog and one-click Share pick a live one,
else make one), says it expired, and the copy-on-open claim clears on the next copy.
- A password-protected file link asks to open a file, not to watch a video.
- Upload: Cancel, the close button or the backdrop while naming a folder makes no folder; a failed
refetch keeps the target; a folder being made says so.
- Crop: an infinite number is dropped, not a 500; an unprobed clip's size follows a shown-size crop;
the edit_spec docs name frame_w/frame_h; the join and rotated paths are tested.
- Auto-skip: the wait gives way on a marker too short for it, so the skip still fires.
- Tag chips count the followed channels (subscribed_count) and a toggled chip keeps the focus.
- Continue watching's See all sorts by last watched when in progress was already on.
A video stays on /watch/, anything else is given out on /file/ and a folder on /folder/. The token
is the whole key, so every path opens every link and the links already sent keep working. The new
paths are kept out of search indexes like /watch/, boot the player alone, and the unfurl card calls a
file a file.
The browser reports such a video by its shown size and ffmpeg's crop counts stored pixels, so a
frame over the middle half of a 320 stored, 640 shown video kept the whole width. A crop now carries
the size it was measured on and is scaled to the file's own pixels. A spec from before it did is cut
as it always was. Also drops a stale note in downloads/quota.py: edit jobs are held to the cap.
- A press that begins while a field in the row is edited only ends the editing (rowOpen latches it
at pointerdown); the card layout's row press is now tested.
- A related video reset in the player forgets the session's stored position.
- Removing the playing video passes over known-dead items and steps the way it went.
- Prev/Next off only because of dead items stay focusable and say why (HU/EN).
- The docked bar's scroller leaves room for focus rings.
- A focus-opened About card is not closed by its own scroll into view.
- EN "Clear watch progress" for the video reset, distinct from a page's "Reset view".
- The signed-out title read goes to the page yt-dlp read; the retitle writes are conditional.
- Tests: the cap of three errors, the bar's own Fullscreen, the group glyph, the backfill's reads.
Since 2026-10-28 a signed-in read of a reel gives the placeholder title and
no description, so the adapter had nothing to fall back on and every such
download (and its name) read "Facebook". A placeholder with nothing behind
it now gets one signed-out, metadata-only read of the page. The backfill
retitles the downloads already made, and every name that only repeated the
placeholder; a name its owner gave stays.
The contract read Python with regexes, and each guard added for a missed shape had shapes of its own
it missed: a reason after another key, a status passed by name, a second `e.reason` handler with the
same text, a pin naming a type nothing checked.
backend/tests/refusal_sites.py (stdlib `ast`, run by the contract on the host's Python) reads every
`{"code": ...}` detail and follows each reason to its values: literals, both arms of a conditional,
module constants, the `Literal` on the parameter or attribute it travels in (on the class an `except`
catches), every call of a `str` helper with its defaults, a map's values with its keys held to the
index's type. What it cannot follow fails the contract, unless no screen shows that code; no pins.
The reason attributes are typed with their Literal, so a subclass or an assignment cannot widen
them; InvalidSetting takes a SettingReason, and the settings map is held to it (a reason the map
lacked was a 500). The per-family reverse checks are one check by prefix (the admin actions
included), and the leaf-key filter applies only to the suffixed sign-in family.
Review round 1 of the refusal contract: it claimed more than it held.
- The other reason carriers get their Literal too (BlockedUrl, ClipError,
FolderError, the playlist and sign-in refusal helpers), so the type
checker refuses a reason passed by variable or an unknown literal, and
the contract reads one shape.
- A literal reason in a detail dict built anywhere counts as a reason of
its code; a code the scan cannot read, a refused() whose reason it
cannot read, and a new reason passed by variable each fail the contract
until listed with what holds them.
- A sign-in refusal key the backend no longer sends is caught too.
- localizeDetail's numbers (download cap in GB, upload cap in bytes) and
the shared-sentence fallbacks are tested in both languages.
- One Literal parser in the contract; a stale comment fixed.
A refusal code or reason with no sentence fell through to the generic
"couldn't carry out that action" unnoticed: the parity test is green when
EN and HU miss the same key. One did (an edit refused for a file that is
not video or audio).
- lib/api/refusalCodes.ts: which sentence answers each code, as data;
localizeDetail says a refusal through it, unchanged for every reader.
- backendIds contract: every detail code the backend sends is in exactly
one record, every reason it can carry has its sentence in EN and HU,
and no family names a reason the backend cannot send.
- The reasons that travel in a variable are Literal types (edit, move,
cookies, quota), so the type checker refuses an unknown one too.
- downloads.errors.edit.not_media in EN and HU.
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.
The models now live in their units' packages, and a core model names a unit's by
string (User.subscriptions -> Subscription). The download child imports neither
catalog nor app.tables before db.get, so mapper configuration failed and every
download, clip, edit and upload job died with child_exit. Each entry point now
imports app.tables, and a test imports each one in a clean interpreter.
PlexLibrary, PlexShow, PlexSeason, PlexItem, PlexPerson, PlexCollection, PlexState, PlexLink,
PlexPlaylist and PlexPlaylistItem leave app/models.py for app/plex/models.py; app.tables registers
them. Every import is re-pointed; no schema change.
Channel, Subscription, Video, SearchFind, ExploredChannel and BlockedChannel (and LIVE_OR_UPCOMING)
leave app/models.py for app/catalog/models.py; app.tables registers them. The User↔Subscription
relationship names its other side as a type only. No schema change.
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.
The nine Capture tables (files, jobs, folders, shares, links, quota, cookies, profiles, library
resume points) leave app/models.py for the unit's own module; app.tables registers every unit's
tables for the migrations, the test database and the ownership check. No schema change.
- A password reset or change, "log out everywhere" and a revoked untrusted password revoke all of the
account's API tokens too (audited): one minted from a stolen session no longer outlives the answer.
- A bearer token or link grant with a non-ASCII character is refused (401/403), not a 500.
- Making a token's grants or a folder link holds the folder, so a racing delete cannot fail the
foreign key; a link's view count is one atomic UPDATE.
- A folder link's card counts exactly the files its page lists (one `links.folder_files`).
- A file with no extension is served without a trailing dot.
- 0106's downgrade names a Hub folder so it never collides with one of the user's folders.
- The speed baseline reads share tokens through the app (the database keeps them hashed/encrypted).
- Tests: the token scope on the real session stack, the folder poster, the Hub refused for a link,
0106's downgrade data step, 0107 without a key; docs/comments follow (three folder kinds, folder
links, key change, the cleanup job's token warnings).
A /watch link may now open one of its owner's own folders (migration 0108: folder_id beside job_id,
exactly one set; a folder's links go with it). The page shows what is in the folder when it is
opened, newest first: a video or a song plays in the same player a file link has, above the list,
each keeping its own resume point; a document only downloads, never opens as a page. A file moved
out stops opening through the link at its next request. Password, expiry and stream-only work as on
a file link; the unfurl names the folder and counts its files, never their names. Source folders
and the Hub cannot be shared.
The folder menu gets "Copy link" and "Share with a link…" (the Share dialog's link half); the rail
marks a folder a live link opens.
Two fixes in the Share dialog on the way: revoking the last link no longer mints a new one at once,
and the new-link form goes back to downloadable after making a link.
A /watch link's token is the credential, and it sat in the database as written. Migration 0107
replaces the column with the token's SHA-256 (the lookup) and a Fernet-encrypted copy (so the owner
can copy the same link again); every existing address keeps working, and the downgrade decrypts
them back. Without a copy this key can read, a link still opens but its address cannot be shown:
"Copy link" then takes the newest link that has one or makes a new one, and the Share dialog says
so in that row instead of a broken URL. Making, changing and revoking a link are audited, never
with its token or password.
Settings gains an API tokens tab: a row per token (name and prefix; each
folder with its rights; last use and expiry, "expires soon" marked),
revoked from its menu behind a confirm. A new token is the Hub exchange in
one click, or folders and rights picked per folder (no Write where an
upload cannot land); expiry 30/90 days, 1 year or never (warned). The
token shows once in the same dialog, with Copy and a ready curl line.
The Hub folder closes the Sources in the Files rail, takes uploads and
moved-in files. A token about to run out warns its user once, a week
before (the Files GC's sixth pass); the notice opens the tokens tab.
A user can make a token for a machine of theirs (`/api/tokens`, signed-in only): `sfl_` + 32
random bytes + a checksum, only its SHA-256 kept, shown once. Sent as a Bearer header it is
honoured on six `/api/files` routes only — folders, list, file, hash, upload, delete — and there
only in the folders its grants name, with the rights they give (list / read / write / delete).
One check, `FilesCaller.may`, in every route; a folder or file out of reach answers like a
missing one; the files shared with the user are never in reach. A token beats a cookie on the
same request.
The Hub preset makes the user's one Hub folder (a new folder kind) and grants it every right.
Refused tokens are slowed down per client, a runaway machine per token; last use is stamped at
most once a minute; making and revoking a token is audited, and a token's uploads and deletes
name it in their audit rows.
- set_retention and delete_own re-read the folder under its lock and use that row (an unfetched ORM
result never refreshes the object); a folder gone meanwhile is refused (409), and the route audits
the retention actually replaced
- a finishing download is stamped only while it is still in the folder (and keep) it was read with:
a move or a folder delete landing meanwhile sends the read round again, so no file is done with no
expiry
- the eviction pass counts the disk before each candidate and skips one asked for since it began
- docs: source builds get their own volume-copy snippet
- race tests assert the lock wait; one built on a committing delete never raced
- GC: the expiry warning marks each file conditionally on the expiry it saw, one commit each (a file
deleted meanwhile no longer fails the run; one re-timed keeps its fresh expiry unwarned); eviction
counts the disk again when a candidate was freed meanwhile, so it never evicts for space already free.
- Folders: a retention change locks the folder and its files, and a finishing file reads the retention
under a share lock, so neither misses the other; a folder delete locks the files it takes home (a
file moved out meanwhile stays put, one deleted meanwhile no longer fails the delete).
- Upload: the folder is checked before the probe and held only once the job names it.
- Dedup enqueue locks the cached asset, so a release meanwhile yields a fresh one instead of a 500.
- Mount check reads the kernel's mount table instead of comparing devices (the vfs storage driver gave
a mounted volume the device of /), and only inside a container; the API also logs a fresh, empty
volume in the library's place.
- Compose files fall back to DOWNLOAD_HOST_PATH; the upgrade notes cover the from-source pull.
- Folder routes call owned_or_404 directly.
- The queue keeps a done job by when it became done (ready_at), not by its last write: renaming,
keeping or moving an old file, or the GC's expiry warning, no longer brings it back as just finished.
- GC expiry and eviction re-read each file under the asset→job locks the user routes take, and commit
one file at a time: a delete, a re-download or a keep made while the GC runs is honoured, never a
second release that frees a file another user still holds.
- A file records the origin it was placed under (download_jobs.source_key, migration 0105): an edit
whose parent expired still goes back to its folder, not to Uploads.
- A folder a file is being put in is held (FOR SHARE) until it lands; a delete of it waits and takes
that file home too, instead of failing on the foreign key.
- The hash route reads at most two files at once (429 past that) and holds no connection meanwhile.
- 0104's backfill dates old files by their request date only: no notice prod wrote names its job.
- The old DOWNLOAD_ROOT still finds the files; a files root that is not a mounted volume stops the
worker and is logged by the API; the volume-copy recipe looks the project-prefixed names up.
- Stale comments about the /downloads mount and the Downloads page.
A download that failed for days and then went through sat days down the library, under its
request date, and read as missing. A job now records when it became done (`ready_at`), stamped
where the expiry already is (`folders.stamp_done`, `finalize_if_running`) and on an insert that is
already done; a check constraint holds every path to done to it. The library sorts and dates its
"Added" by it; the queue keeps the request order.
The migration dates a file from before by its "ready to watch" notice where the inbox still holds
one, else by its request date, where it already sat.
yt-dlp asks for a bug report on an extraction failure it did not expect: the site answered in a way its extractor does not read (measured on a TikTok link: fails on every attempt under yt-dlp 2026.07.04, downloads under 2026.08.19). That failure read as "Something went wrong" with no retry; it is now its own category, site_changed, with a Retry in the failure window. A contract test holds every failure category to its copy in both languages.
- GET /api/files/{id}/preview: an allow-list on the stored extension (downloads/preview.py) picks
image / PDF / text; served inline under `CSP: sandbox; frame-ancestors 'self'`, the type from the
table; HTML and SVG arrive as plain text; a text is its first 1 MiB (X-Preview-Truncated), sent
as UTF-8 whatever it was written in (BOM, UTF-8, else cp1250); a NUL means binary: 415
- the list says which preview each file gets (asset.preview); FE/BE contract on kinds and header
- the viewer (shared dialog shell): ← / → through the list's such files in its order, Save, open in
a tab, the file's menu; one stage height for every kind; a no-preview card offers the file
- the name, the card's picture and the menu's Preview open it; an image up to 8 MB is its own
thumbnail
- Files toolbar link box (paste button, Enter); a lone http(s) link pasted onto any page opens the one
app-wide download dialog, which now names the link; the palette's "Download from a link…" focuses
the box on its history entry.
- The download tray, bottom right on every page: what waits, runs, is paused or failed (reason +
Retry, the queue's right-click / "…" menu), and what finished in this tab as "Done · Open" until
closed; folds to a pill (per-account pref); closed, it stays shut — across a reload — until the
work changes or something finishes. Back to top steps up over it, the page end keeps clear.
- A finish is announced once: "Downloaded: …", whether a phone plays it, Copy link + Open (toasts
and notices may carry a second action).
- The inbox's ready notice opens the file in its folder: download_done carries job_id + folder_id.
- GET /api/downloads is the queue only (in flight, failed, finished in the last 10 minutes), with
each row's source key.
/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 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.
yt-dlp's `max_filesize` only stops a plain HTTP file that announces its size: YouTube's fragmented
formats never meet it — measured on localdev, a 718 MB download ran to the end with 1 MB left and
put its owner four times over the cap. The download now re-reads what is left once its file is made
(after the phone-safe pass) and refuses one larger than that as the owner's refusal; an editor clip,
which nothing checked, is held the same way, as a player clip already was.
yt-dlp refuses a file announced over `max_filesize` by logging one line and returning with no file
(measured, and pinned in test_formats against a local server): the worker found no output and
failed the job as `postprocess`. `formats.watching_size_cap` now sees that line through our yt-dlp
logger, and the download (and, should it ever happen, a YouTube clip's range fetch) fails as the
owner's refusal with DOWNLOAD_TOO_BIG_MESSAGE, classified `quota_exceeded`. The download's quota
copy says it does not fit in what is left — true at a full cap too — instead of "Storage full".
A pre-existing type error the change touched is fixed (baseline down by one).
- A converted upload over the space left (not zero) fails with CONVERTED_TOO_BIG_MESSAGE, not
"storage is full"; it classifies as quota_exceeded by the phrase it shares with the clip's.
- The public watch page says "preparing" only for a job a worker will take: a suspended owner's
queued job waits for as long as the suspension lasts, so the link says the video is gone, as
for a paused rebuild.
- The worker's claim docstring names the restart case: a running job put back in the queue waits.
A suspension now blocks the user's downloads as quota.resolve already advised: the worker leaves
their queued jobs unclaimed until it is lifted (the confirm says so). A cut clip larger than the
remaining storage is refused with its own message (not "storage is full"), and a clip's quota
refusal reads as a clip's in both languages. The cancel poll compares to JobStatus.RUNNING.
- The cut file is measured against what its owner has left, for a YouTube range (whose fetch never
reads yt-dlp's size ceiling) and for a Plex clip (which fetches nothing), before the fetch and
again before it is placed; a refusal leaves the asset pending for a Retry.
- A silent Plex file is cut silent; a file the probe cannot read says so.
- A second job on a failed or renamed clip gets the same YouTube diagnosis and the fetched title.
- The "too long" refusal names the server's cap; a contract test holds the client's copies of the
clip limits to clip.py; the shipped player clients are pinned against the installed yt-dlp.
- One HDR transfer set and one rating_key lookup; job status words from JobStatus; the display-name
guard sees subscript writes and the clip route; stale comments and types follow the clip job.
An optional crop in clip mode: a Crop toggle puts a frame on the picture (free, 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1;
the whole picture stays the default). The frame is sent in fractions of the box it was drawn in,
with that box's shape; the worker fits the real picture into the box by its display aspect (sample
aspect and rotation aware), drops the part over the bars, and crops first in the filter chain. A
frame covering the whole box is no crop at all, and one off the picture is refused by name.
The crop frame is a ui primitive (CropFrame) shared with the video editor, keyboard-operable.
YouTube: the wide side panel shuts while clipping and comes back after; maximised, the clip panel
docks in the stage. Plex: the picture sits above the clip panel so the frame lies on it.
A clip fetched its range signed out, so a video behind YouTube's per-video "not a bot" wall could
never be clipped while its download went through with the user's cookie - and the failure copy told
the user to add a cookie the clip would not use. The clip asset is private by construction
(`clip.asset_ref` names its user), so `usable_clip_cookie` attaches the user's YouTube cookie on that
identity, and a failed range fetch now carries the download catalog's diagnosis
(`youtube.bot_wall` / `youtube.cookie_rejected`) instead of a bare category.
POST /api/downloads/clip takes a source (a YouTube id or a Plex rating key), a range of at most
ten minutes and, for Plex, the audio track being heard. The clip becomes a per-user asset in the
library like an editor clip, shareable as soon as it is ready. A YouTube clip fetches only its
range (yt-dlp download_ranges: 3-7 s whatever the video's length); a Plex clip reads the library
file in place. Both then go through one re-encode: frame-exact at the marks, H.264 at most 1080p
with HDR tonemapped to SDR, stereo AAC, no chapter track, .mp4.
Job kinds are a JobKind StrEnum now, and Re-download refuses every kind but a download.
The primary player client, android_vr, was still offered 1080p and 2160p, but every fetch of
those formats died with HTTP 403: it now needs a stream PO token the bgutil sidecar cannot mint.
The fallback set then served 360p only, so every download finished at 360p without failing.
tv_simply is offered the full ladder and its fetch completes (measured: 1080p, and a localdev
download through the pipeline reached the default profile's 720p). yt-dlp 2026.8.19 marks
the clients that need such a token, so it stops fetching into the 403.
- The fast join gives each ffconcat entry its own media-only format whitelist, so a library file
can no longer be opened as a nested concat list (the list's whitelist was handed down to it).
- A file the guarded probe cannot read is a download-only file, not a guess from yt-dlp's info.
- A conversion's or an ingest's commit that raises is re-read in a fresh session before any file
is removed: a commit that landed keeps the file its row now names.
- An original that cannot be removed after conversion is logged; the upload stays ready.
- An upload whose conversion is cancelled or deleted midway is freed once nothing holds it; a
paused one is kept.
- A shared link says "preparing" only while its video's job is queued or running.
- The admin storage view counts every file on disk ("Files on disk"), not only ready ones.
- A clip's failure title, unknown failure and cancel dialog, and a clip's and an upload's delete
dialog speak of what the job made; an upload's quota refusal explains that the original is kept.
- /watch announces "preparing" as an alert and moves focus to the new Retry after an action.
- Every ffmpeg/ffprobe over a library file names the demuxers it may use
(edit.INPUT_GUARD; a downloaded thumbnail edit.THUMB_GUARD): a playlist-type
demuxer would read local paths named inside a user's upload.
- A re-encode ends on an even frame (edit.EVEN_FRAME): an odd 4:4:4/RGB source
failed its conversion; a clip stores the frame its file has.
- An upload counts against its owner's cap from the moment it lands (queued, or
kept after a failed conversion) — the footprint, the GC's cap and the admin
view read one ON_DISK predicate — and a conversion that outgrows the cap is
refused, keeping the original.
- The converted name keeps _a{id} (a dotted bare name once lost it and two
uploads shared a file); a converted file placed but not committed is removed,
and the orphan sweep enters .uploads; the LRU cap never evicts an upload.
- Ingest judges the extension the file is stored under; a failed conversion is
convert_failed / upload_missing, reports the "converting" phase, and notifies
as an upload. Job statuses in routes/downloads use JobStatus.
A /watch link is opened by whoever it was sent to — signed out, often on a phone on mobile data —
and it booted through main.tsx: every app provider, the app's i18n (every locale of every area),
the flag sprites, ~392 KB gzip before the player could start. It now has its own HTML entry,
watch.html → watchMain.tsx, which imports WatchPage and what it renders; the server hands every
/watch/ path that page (the OG block injected as before), and vite dev does the same.
Measured on the build: /watch JS 290 → 87 KB gzip, CSS 104 → 19 KB; the app's own bytes unchanged.
Two leaks had to go for that: lib/format imported the app's i18n for one "just now" string (the
relative-time formatters now take `t`, like the file's other t-formatters), and the boundary's
crash copy came from the same i18n (CrashBoundary takes its copy; ErrorBoundary is the app's
wrapper, the watch entry gives it the page's own strings). The page's popover tree went too: it
renders no popover.
Held by: a contract test walking the entry's runtime imports, naming the path to anything only the
app may load (red on a planted i18n import in lib/format), and holding watch.html's head equal to
index.html's; a DB-lane test that every /watch/ path gets the player's page with the link's OG tags
and app paths get the app (red on the old routing). Screenshots at 375 px, EN and HU, video / audio /
password / gone / wrong password / unlocked: identical to the old entry's, bar the video's buffered bar.
A share link is opened on whatever the friend holds. Measured on an iPhone and an iPad: AV1,
Matroska, HEVC tagged hev1 and MP3 inside an .mp4 fail there; Chrome and Firefox add HEVC and
10-bit / 4:4:4 H.264. The old check judged the codec NAME only and ran on downloads only, so a
10-bit H.264 passed, an upload went out exactly as it came (an iPhone's HEVC .mov, a webm, an mkv)
and a fast trim kept its source's codecs.
One rule now, `downloads/playable.py`: video is H.264 8-bit 4:2:0 + AAC in .mp4, audio-only is
.mp3 or AAC .m4a; `plan` says what must change, `build_cmd` re-encodes only the failing stream (or
remuxes). The worker applies it to a download, an editor clip and — new — an upload: media that
fails the rule is queued (asset pending, job queued) and the worker converts it, keeping only the
converted file (owner's choice). Until then the original sits at rel_path, so Retry starts from it
and a delete removes it; an upload that lost its last holder mid-conversion is reaped by the GC.
Every libx264 run (edit, concat, conversion) now pins `-pix_fmt yuv420p` — without it a 10-bit
source came out High 10. The download cache signature moves to v5 so a cached 10-bit asset
re-derives. The upload toast says when the file is still converting (HU/EN).
Tests: the plan for every measured class; real ffmpeg turning a 10-bit Matroska + Opus and an
mp3-in-mp4 into files the rule accepts (red without the pixel-format pin); the queued upload's
delete, cancel-then-GC, failed conversion and real worker conversion (the cleanup tests red
without their rules); the toast (red without the branch). Live on localdev: 9 fixture uploads
converted, every served file probed H.264 High yuv420p + AAC, or mp3 / m4a.
A plan's decision ids (`D1`, `D4`, `D6-A`) cited in 11 comments and test titles named a document
no reader of this repo has, and the guard had no pattern for them. It has now (mirrored in
audit_metrics), with cases for each form the citations took and for the look-alikes it must leave
alone (a JPEG marker, "3D"); the 11 lines say their why without the id. Case test seen red without
the pattern, the scan red on a planted `D9:`.
