Add a Year filter to the feed rail: quick chips for recent years plus a
'More…' popover listing all years with per-year video counts, sortable by
year or count. Selecting a year narrows the feed to that whole calendar
year (a published_after/before range applied in the api layer) and is
mutually exclusive with the Upload-date control.
Backend: new /api/feed/years endpoint + feed_years() — one grouped query
that honours every filter EXCEPT the publish-date narrowing (dropped), so
the year list stays a live drill-down and switching years never zeroes the
others. FE keys the list on the date-stripped filters, so picking a year
re-queries the feed but not the list.
Wires year through FeedFilters, the filterParams/URL (?year) round-trip,
the active-filter chip row, and the panel layout. i18n HU+EN.
Tests: feed_years count query (date narrowing ignored, other filters
honoured); dateFilter year-clearing; urlState year round-trip.
Filter to channels you haven't personally tagged in the channel manager
(no user-owned ChannelTag; auto language/topic tags don't count):
- Feed: a "No tag" sentinel in the "Your tags" sidebar combobox (exclusive
with real tag picks) + a removable "Untagged" chip; new `untagged` bool
feed param / `notag` URL key, persisted + coerced on every filter path.
- Channel manager: a virtual "No tag" chip in the tag-chip row filters the
table to untagged channels (client-side, shared NO_TAG_SENTINEL).
Backend `untagged` is a plain channel-level narrowing, so feed_summary keeps
it applied in the base pass — the count/facet lockstep holds with no mirror.
Note: item E (per-tag counts) and item D (Any/All toggle) were already
shipped; S1 delivers only item B.
Backend: create-collection happy path (write-through + editable) and the
create resync-failure 422 (honest reconcile detail), mirroring the rename/remove
tests. Frontend: extract notifyCollectionEditError (the 409->nameTaken vs
generic-fallback mapping that was inline in the New-collection create()) and
unit-test it; wire create() through it.
Adds ruff's formatter to the gate. line-length 100 matches the frontend
prettier printWidth. The reformat itself lands as the next commit (kept
separate so it can go in .git-blame-ignore-revs).
- collections: the resync-failed-after-successful-write path now returns 422
(honest "reconcile on next sync" detail), NOT 502. The frontend treats
502/503/504 as gateway-unreachable and raises a sticky offline banner
(api/core.ts RETRIABLE_GATEWAY); the app answered, so a 422 action-error
toast is correct. Removes the false-offline regression the 502 introduced,
and — since 422 isn't retried — the create double-write vector with it.
- tests: make the mutate-then-resync rollback assertion non-vacuous — the
resync stub now flushes a partial local change before raising, so the test
proves db.rollback() actually undoes it; split into a write-failed (422)
case and a resync-failed (422 + reconcile detail + rollback) case.
- New-collection dup hint is now muted-tone with its own nameMaybeTaken copy
(per-library uniqueness means the name may be free here) instead of the red
authoritative nameTaken, which the still-enabled create flow contradicts.
- history: cover the navCounter post-reload collision guard (ensureNavId
advances the counter past a higher persisted sfScroll id).
Round of USER-triggered deep-review fixes (11 CONFIRMED + 1 PLAUSIBLE, all
verified) on the 22-commit branch:
- collections: split the mutate-then-resync error surface. A resync READ that
fails after a successful Plex mutation no longer reports a false 422 "Plex
write failed" + rollback; it returns 502 "sync pending" (the next full sync
reconciles the mirror). New _write_or_pending_error helper; delete is exempt
(no Plex read). Covered by new happy-path / 422-rollback / 502 tests.
- New-collection dup-name guard is now advisory only: existingNames is the
search-scoped, all-library union, but the backend enforces uniqueness PER
library — so it no longer blocks a valid same-name collection in another
library, and the backend 409 is localized to nameTaken.
- member-remove now confirms before the write-through (matches delete-collection).
- add-title / new-collection library search render an error state on request
failure instead of a misleading "No matches".
- history: seed navCounter past the current entry's persisted sfScroll on load
so post-reload ids can't collide with back-stack entries and mis-restore scroll.
- PageScroller: LRU-cap the navId-keyed savedScroll map (was unbounded).
- share isIntrinsicReadOnly between the browse tile and the info page so the
lock/edit affordance can't drift.
Two follow-ups after testing the collection editing against real Plex, which revealed that
Plex CONFLATES same-named collections (two rating_keys resolve to one merged member list) —
a genuine footgun.
- Duplicate-name guard: create and rename now reject (409) a title that already exists in the
target section (case-insensitive), before any Plex write. create() can also derive the
library from the seed item, so the caller needn't know the section key. The create dialogs
surface the 409, and the New-collection panel warns inline before submit.
- A "New collection" button on the Collections browse surface (admin only) opens a panel:
a name field (with the live duplicate check) + a search to pick the FIRST title — Plex can't
create an empty collection, it needs a seed. Creating opens the new collection's detail page
straight away, so you can keep adding titles there. This is the B-route the user wanted,
vs. the only prior path (a movie's "add to collection").
Verified live: the 409 guard (creating an existing name is blocked, no Plex write), and the
full New-collection flow (name + first title → create → lands on the detail page); test
collections created and deleted, real account left clean.
Gate: tsc/lint/knip/prettier clean, 424 vitest; backend ruff clean, 7 collections tests
(+ a duplicate-name-rejection assertion).
Clicking a collection tile now opens a dedicated Collection info page (like the Plex-web
one) instead of just applying it as a filter. New GET /collections/{rk} returns the hero
aggregates (year range, most-restrictive member cert, total runtime) + the members ordered
by release year then title; a new PlexCollectionView renders the hero (art/title/meta/
summary+More) and the member grid, with a Play-all and Shuffle over the playable leaves
(reusing the player's existing queue + auto-advance).
For a non-external, admin-enabled collection the page offers rename / delete / add-title
(a search picker) / remove-item, all through the pre-existing admin endpoints that write
THROUGH to Plex (each edit awaits and re-fetches — no optimism, since a Plex write can 422).
An eligible collection shows "Enable editing" first (the DB editable flag). Read-only ones
(smart / imdb / tmdb / … auto-lists) are marked with a lock on both the info page AND the
browse tile, up front.
New `{ kind: "collection" }` sub-view wired through plexSubUrl (bookmarkable ?v=collection:rk),
PlexBrowse (render branch, Backspace back-nav, tile handler), with a round-trip test.
Verified live: tile→page, hero + chronological members (James Bond 1962→2021, PG-13, 55h),
Play/Shuffle, Enable editing → edit controls + remove-X, the add search (marks already-in
titles "Added"), and the read-only lock on external collections. Real Plex mutations wired
but not executed against the live account.
Gate: tsc/lint/knip/prettier clean, 424 vitest; backend ruff clean, 6 collections tests
(+ a detail-hero/ordering assertion).
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 collection browse-tile montage queried only movie members, so show-library
collections (IMDb Popular, TMDb Trending, … in the TV library) rendered as bare colour
tiles. Union the art from PlexShow members as well (a collection lives in one library, so
exactly one side has art); fall back to the collection's own poster, then the colour hash.
Runtime stays movie-only (shows have no single duration).
Verified live: every collection now shows a montage (0 art-less tiles, was ~all the show
collections).
Gate: backend ruff clean, 5 collections tests (+ a show-collection art assertion).
The full-bleed 4-poster collage drowned the on-tile text. Split PosterTile in two: the top
half shows up to 2 montage posters, the bottom half is a solid colour-hash band that carries
the label, so the text is always readable. Genre tiles drop the count (just the label now);
collection tiles show the name on one truncated line plus a sub-line of item count · total
runtime. A group with no art falls back to an all-colour tile.
Backend: `/collections` cards gain `total_runtime_s` (a new `runtime_by_key` grouped sum) and
their montage art is capped at 2. Frontend: PosterTile reworked; a `collectionMeta` helper
builds the count·runtime sub-line via the existing formatRuntime.
Verified live: collection and genre tiles render 2 posters over a readable colour band with
the right sub-lines; colour fallback intact for art-less groups.
Gate: tsc/lint/knip/prettier clean, 423 vitest; backend ruff clean, collections tests green
(+ a new art/runtime 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).
Self-review of the branch diff (feature/plex-filter-bar-overhaul) against main:
- Surprise rail query key omitted `lang` while the backend /surprise now filters
against the language-specific genre column → a HU/EN switch under an active genre
filter left the rail stale. Key it by scope+lang+filters, matching plexDiscover.
- Chip-removing a collection left its entry in `collectionTitles` (hashed into the
plex query keys), splitting the cache from the pristine no-collection state and
growing the titles map unboundedly. Prune the title on remove, like CollectionPicker.
- The saved-views default-mirror effect gained `cfg` in its deps (re-memoized on every
live filter edit) → a synchronous localStorage write per keystroke. Depend on the
module-stable mirror fn instead.
- Collections-browse search input had no accessible name (placeholder only). Add
aria-label + type="search".
- Extract the tile hue-hash + gradient duplicated between PlexDiscover and
plexBrowseLists into a shared lib/hueTile so the two surfaces can't drift.
- Document migration 0073 downgrade() as lossy and de-dup non-feed rows before
recreating the narrow (user_id, name) constraint (verified by the drift test).
- Add unit tests for coercePlexFilters (legacy single-collection migration) and
plexFiltersSignature (order-independence, title-ignoring).
Gate: tsc/lint/knip/prettier clean, 410 vitest; backend ruff + migration drift +
saved-views tests green.
Saved "smart views" were feed-only; the Plex module is getting them too. Add a
`source` discriminator to saved_views ("feed" | "plex"), default "feed" so every
existing row and any source-less client stays feed. Widen the per-user unique
name constraint to (user_id, source, name) so a feed view and a Plex view can
share a name, and scope create's position numbering + the is_default "clear the
others" to (user, source).
Migration 0073 (ADD source NOT NULL server_default 'feed' + swap the unique
constraint; reversible). Endpoints: GET/POST take `source` (default feed).
Tests: source isolation, per-source default, per-source name uniqueness.
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.
A title can belong to several Plex collections, so the collection filter becomes
multi-select combining with Any (OR, default) / All (AND) — the same shape as the
genre/actor filters.
Backend (query.py): `collection` (single) → `collections` CSV + `collection_mode`
on LibraryFilters; meta_filter_conds ORs/ANDs `collection_keys.contains` per id.
Frontend: PlexFilters `collection`/`collectionTitle` → `collections` + optional
`collectionMode` + `collectionTitles` map; CollectionPicker is now a multi-select
Combobox with the any/all match footer; one chip per collection (usePlexActive-
Filters); the info-page "Browse collection" strip unions into the list; applyFilter
now shallow-merges label maps so adding one keeps the others' titles. PlexProvider
migrates a legacy persisted single `collection` into the new shape on read.
Test: test_plex_collections_filter (single / any-union / all-intersection).
The re-review of the fix round surfaced 4 findings; fixing the coverage one
exposed that the C1 migration was ineffective:
- FeedFiltersProvider.loadAccountFilters: run coerceTagModes on the RAW stored
blob, not the object merged over DEFAULT_FILTERS. The merge injects
DEFAULT_TAG_MODES (all "or"), which coerceTagModes prefers over the legacy
scalar `tagMode` — so the migration never fired. Now a persisted legacy
tagMode:'and' actually migrates into tagModes.topic (proven by a new test).
- test_feed_views: the tag_mode_other=and case was vacuous (only chC carried
either "other" tag, so AND == OR). Give chA an "other" tag too so OR-other
{chA,chC} differs from AND-other {chC} — the conjunctive path now narrows.
- DateFilterSelect: reset the custom reveal in useLayoutEffect (not useEffect)
so the correction commits before paint — no one-frame "Custom range" flicker
on the trigger after an external clear.
- SavedViewsProvider: extract the sticky-view tie-break to a pure, tested
lib/savedViews.ts (preferSticky).
New tests: savedViews (preferSticky), FeedFiltersProvider.dom (legacy tagMode
migration on the localStorage/default-view seed).
- test_feed_views: extend _seed_tagged so a channel carries 2+ tags in a
non-topic category, and add language-AND / other-AND equivalence cases — the
per-category any/all generalization was only exercised for topic.
- tagModes.test: coerceTagModes migration (legacy global tagMode -> topic),
per-category preservation, invalid-value coercion, defaults.
- urlState.dom.test: per-category tag-mode URL round-trip + legacy ?tagmode=and
migration into the topic slot.
- Combobox.dom.test: the any/all match footer (hidden below 2 selections, reports
a mode change at 2+).
- chipOverflow.test: the all/some/count fit boundaries and the +N reservation.
The tag 'Match: Any/All' toggle was a single GLOBAL setting that only ever
affected topics, shown as its own row under the Topic widget. Make it
per-category — language, topic, and 'your tags' each get their own independent
any/all — and move it into each filter combobox's popover footer (like
SortControl's direction segment), reclaiming the standalone Match row.
Backend: the feed query already groups selected tags by category; replace the
single tag_mode with per-category tag_mode_language/topic/other params and apply
the conjunctive (HAVING all) branch per category. Mirrored across filtered_query,
feed_summary.passes(), and the /facets drill-down exclusion (kept in lockstep;
equivalence test updated to tag_mode_topic). No schema change.
Frontend: FeedFilters.tagMode -> tagModes {language,topic,other} (pure leaf
lib/api/tagModes with a coerceTagModes migration for the legacy global value);
serialized to the API and the shareable URL per category (legacy ?tagmode=and
still resolves into the topic slot); saved-view blobs migrate on read. Combobox
gains an optional matchMode/onMatchModeChange footer segment, shown once 2+
values are picked; the three tag comboboxes wire it to their category.
Verified: backend feed tests green (12, incl. the count/facets equivalence net);
live, the footer appears at 2+ selections, toggles aria-pressed, serializes
tagmode_topic=and to the URL, and the request carries tag_mode_topic=and (200).
374 vitest, tsc, ruff, eslint (0 err).
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.
Three verified deep-review findings (the 4th, the filter combobox a11y gap, is
deferred to a dedicated session on the combobox architecture):
- SEC (medium): TmdbClient sent the api_key as a URL query param, so an HTTP
error's httpx exception string embedded the full URL incl. the key, which
enrich_batch logged. _get now raises status+path only (never str(e)/the URL)
and severs the secret-bearing cause with `from None`. Regression test asserts
neither the status nor the network error path contains the key.
- STATE (low): person_detail's lazy-enrich except now db.rollback()s, so a
failed enrich_person commit can't poison the session and 500 the subsequent
SELECTs (SQLAlchemy 2.x deactivates the tx on a commit-time flush failure and
does not auto-reset it). Test locks that the page renders despite a poisoned
enrich.
- ABUSE (low): the request-path lazy person enrich now caps its TMDB client at
an 8s timeout (was the 30s default) so a slow TMDB can't tie up a worker;
TmdbClient gained a `timeout` param (batch keeps 30s). The fuller fix (move
person enrichment off the request path) is logged for later.
Follow-ups from the epic-end /code-review of the E5 branch:
- tmdb.resolve_recs + people._resolve_known_for: match recommendations/
credits to the library bucketed by media_type. TMDB movie ids and tv ids
are independent sequences, so a bare `tmdb:<id>` match could deep-link a
movie rec to an unrelated show (or vice-versa) on a numeric collision.
Regression test added (test_resolve_recs_matches_by_media_type_not_bare_id).
- routes/search: wrap the _ingest_candidates call so a DB/enrich failure
degrades to a 422 with a message instead of a bare 500 hidden behind the
FE's generic "search failed" (extends the B-core-1 rationale); rollback on
failure. Stamp enriched_at with its own timestamp taken after the enrich,
not the stub-insert placeholder.
- routes/plex/discover: key serialized cards back by rating_key (globally
unique in Plex) instead of id(obj); fix the stale rows 3-tuple annotation.
The scrape source exposes no publish date, so its search stub carried
published_at=None. Migration 0068 (PERF-15, E2/0.68.0) made
videos.published_at NOT NULL, so insert_stubs raised IntegrityError —
outside the route's page-fetch try/except — and the whole
/api/search/youtube request 500'd ("YouTube search failed."). Every
scrape search (the default source) had been broken since 0.68.0.
- routes/search._ingest_candidates: stub published_at falls back to
now() (mirrors stub_from_playlist_item), satisfying the constraint.
- sync.videos.apply_video_details: prefer the enrich snippet's real
date whenever present, so the now() placeholder is corrected instead
of becoming the video's permanent date (the guard only filled a NULL,
which a non-null placeholder no longer is). Never clobbers a real
date with now().
Regression tests (DB lane): dateless scrape stub ingests and takes the
real enrich date; an enrich miss keeps a non-null placeholder, unkept.
Reworks the always-expanded filter chip walls into compact, Seerr-style
"+ Add" → searchable-popover pickers (the user's space-saving ask), and adds
the missing studio filter.
- New MultiSelectChips: selected values as removable chips + a "+ Add" trigger
opening a searchable checklist (AnchoredPopover platform — menuitemcheckbox,
arrow/Escape, anchor flip). Options carry facet counts; a large vocabulary
renders a 50-row cap + "N more — refine with search" footer (studios run to
~1500). Replaces the flat Genre + Age-rating chip lists.
- New Studio filter via the same picker. Backend: /facets now aggregates the
studio vocabulary (distinct studio + count, self-excluded like genres). The
studio filter itself already existed (only addable from the detail page before).
- Collection converted to the same "+ Add" pattern (CollectionPicker): a
single-select popover with server-side search + the 50-cap; the selected
collection still shows as a removable chip. Retires the always-inline search+list.
New i18n plex.filter.studio/add/moreRefine + common.search/remove/noResults
(en+hu). Tests: MultiSelectChips.dom.test.tsx (5, incl. the cap) +
test_plex_facets studio-vocabulary. Browser-E2E'd: Genre→Horror(402),
Studio→A24(14, capped/searched), Collection→James Bond(26)/harry-search.
Gate: vitest 342, backend lane 403.
The person page now leads with a TMDB bio, lazily fetched the first time it's
opened (off the S2-linked `tmdb_person_id`) and then served from the row:
- Migration 0072: ADD-only nullable person columns on plex_people — biography,
birthday, deathday, place_of_birth, known_for_department, also_known_as,
known_for ([{tmdb_id, media_type, title}]), tmdb_enriched_at.
- tmdb.py: TmdbClient.fetch_person (/person/{id}+combined_credits), parse_person
(bio + a popularity-ranked, deduped known_for), apply_person, enrich_person
(lazy one-shot, key+id guarded, commits, 404 stamps the watermark).
- people.py person_detail: loads the full person row, lazily enriches (best-effort
— never fails the page), serves the bio fields + resolves known_for to library
rows by guid (in-library only, popularity order).
- FE PlexPersonView: bio/birth-facts/aka hero + a "Known for" Carousel rail above
the existing Movies/Shows filmography; PlexPersonDetail type + i18n (en+hu).
Tests: test_plex_person_bio.py (6: parse / lazy-enrich guards / serve) + extended
PlexPersonView.dom.test.tsx + the unknown-name contract in test_plex_person.py.
Browser-E2E'd on Jim Carrey (live TMDB enrich → bio 1937 chars, born 1962-01-17
Newmarket, Known-for resolved). Gate: vitest 337, backend lane 402.
Consumes the TMDB block the S2 engine already persists + serves (movie/show
detail's `tmdb`), turning the movie info page into a Seerr-style enriched detail
(page variant only — the player overlay stays lean):
- Multi-source ratings row: IMDb (links out) · TMDb (with vote count) · Plex
audience — whichever are present. Only the primary score (IMDb, else audience)
carries the ratingMin filter, mirroring the backend rating column.
- Facts panel: release · runtime · cert · budget · revenue · studios · countries.
- Keyword chips → tap to filter the library. Backend: a new `keywords` filter on
LibraryFilters + meta_filter_conds (`keywords @> [kw]`, both models), wired
through PlexFilters (appendPlexFilters / plexFilterCount / active-chip / clear).
- Full crew (TMDB key-crew) → tap a name to open their person page.
Tests: test_plex_keyword_filter.py (3) + PlexInfo.dom.test.tsx (5, incl. the
overlay-stays-lean guard). New i18n plex.info.facts.* / keywords / crew / audience
(en+hu). Gate: vitest 337, backend lane 396.
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.
The poster card (grid + person page) gets the Seerr-style hover: on hover a
bottom scrim slides up with the title, a "year · runtime · ★rating" meta line,
and a 3-line synopsis — the info you'd otherwise click through for — plus a
less-flat play ring (radial-gradient + ring shadow) and a top-right quick-action
cluster (Info + watched-toggle, revealed on hover / always on touch). Rest-state
badges (season / type tag) yield to the scrim on hover; the playable-cost tint
stays. (§1 A + C from the enrichment study.)
Backend (the data the scrim needs, mirroring S1's `art`): the grid
(browse.unified_library) now emits a lang-coalesced, truncated `summary` (new
query.summary_col) + the Plex `rating`; movie_card/show_card do the same (EN) for
the detail/related/person cards. PlexCard.rating type added (summary already
existed for episodes).
Gate: tsc x3 / eslint / prettier / knip / vitest 326 green; ruff green; backend
lane full suite green. Self-E2E on the live dev server (rebuilt on this branch,
S2-enriched): the grid serves rating+summary (Shawshank 9.3, Godfather 9.2, real
synopses) and the card renders the play ring + scrim (The Expanse: ring, synopsis,
★8.1) — verified via the DOM (the pane wouldn't composite for a screenshot).
A live smoke against the real TMDB API showed two crew problems the mocked
tests missed: (1) a TV show's creator/showrunner lives in the payload's
top-level `created_by`, not the crew list, so it was dropped entirely; and
(2) TMDB's crew order is arbitrary — a TV show's per-episode Directors (dozens)
flooded the key-crew list and buried the show-level roles.
Fix: split the accepted crew jobs by media type — movies key on
Director/Writer/…; TV keys on Creator (from created_by) + the show-level
Executive Producer/Writer/Producer/Composer, deliberately excluding the
per-episode Director/Editor/DP noise. Stored crew is sorted by display
priority and capped, so the lead roles come first.
Verified live: Breaking Bad -> [Gilligan (Creator), Johnson (EP), … , Writer];
The Godfather -> [Coppola (Director), Puzo (Screenplay), …]. test_plex_tmdb
green (9).
Matches each mirrored Plex movie/show to TMDB by its stored canonical guid,
fetches once (append_to_response), and PERSISTS the enrichment onto the row —
served from the DB, never a live TMDB call at serve time. Additive: the
Plex-sourced imdb_rating/rating are untouched; tmdb_rating is the distinct
TMDb community score (ratings scope = TMDb + Plex's IMDb/audience, no OMDb/RT).
- config.py: tmdb_api_key + api_base/language/interval/batch defaults.
- sysconfig SPECS: tmdb_api_key (secret, Fernet) + tmdb_language, auto-rendered
in the admin Config page; read like the Plex token.
- migration 0071 (ADD-only nullable, reversible): plex_items + plex_shows gain
tmdb_id / tmdb_enriched_at (watermark) / tmdb_rating / tmdb_vote_count /
budget / revenue / keywords / crew / studios / production_countries /
recommendations / backdrops; plex_people gains tmdb_person_id (the S2
foundation for S6 person bios). No watermark reset needed.
- app/plex/tmdb.py: TmdbClient (mirrors PlexClient; throttled; 404->None,
transient->TmdbError), parse_tmdb / apply_tmdb_detail (one-parser rule),
guid_to_tmdb_id (tmdb: direct, imdb:/tvdb: via /find), enrich_batch (movies
then shows, transient error leaves the watermark NULL to retry, definitive
no-match still stamps so it isn't re-fetched), _link_people (upserts
tmdb_person_id by name), serve_block (recommendations resolved to library
rows by guid), run_enrich (no-op without a key).
- scheduler: tmdb_enrich nightly job (default 120 min, no YouTube quota),
runtime-tunable + "run now" from the Scheduler dashboard.
- detail endpoints emit `tmdb` (movies + shows) so it's curl-verifiable now;
the FE render lands in S5.
Note: _link_people inserts plex_people rows for TMDB cast/crew; unreferenced
crew (composers etc., not in cast_names/directors) get pruned by the orphan
sweep — acceptable, the person page is cast-driven and cast rows survive.
Gate: ruff + py_compile green; backend test lane FULL suite 387 passed
(incl. migration drift downgrade->re-upgrade + test_plex_tmdb 9 tests).
Frontend unchanged since S1. Not merged (epic branch, stacks on S1).
Wave 5a building blocks under the Seerr-inspired Plex enrichment (E5).
Carousel (frontend/src/components/Carousel.tsx): the one horizontal-rail
component, replacing the hand-rolled `flex overflow-x-auto` strips and the
home of the future Plex-Discover rows. Edge-fade mask, hover/focus scroll
buttons that appear only on the clipped side (useHScroll — the X-axis twin
of useScrollFade, same watch-the-children discipline), native scrollbar
hidden behind .no-scrollbar, reduced-motion-aware paging. First consumers:
CastStrip + RelatedStrip now scroll inside it (dedup + free affordances).
New i18n: common.seeAll / scrollLeft / scrollRight (en+hu).
Card-art serializer (backend/app/plex/cards.py): movie_card + show_card now
emit `art` (the wide backdrop, /api/plex/image/{rk}?variant=art) so rails and
the crossfading hero get a landscape image with no per-item fetch — gated on
art_key so an art-less item stays null and falls back to the poster. FE type
PlexCard.art?.
Tests: Carousel.dom.test (children/header/see-all, clipped-edge buttons +
paging), test_plex_cards (art present/absent by art_key). Added a
ResizeObserver stub to PlexPersonView.dom.test (it renders CastStrip, now a
Carousel consumer).
Gate: tsc x3 / eslint / prettier / knip / vitest 324 green; ruff green;
backend test lane (docker-compose.test.yml) green on the plex card tests.
Review follow-up. The docstring said "channel/video description" but the helper is
wired only to the channel store sites; clarify it is deliberately channel-only
(video descriptions are user-facing prose where paragraph breaks carry meaning,
unlike a channel's metadata block) so it doesn't read as an asymmetric fix. Also
document that str.splitlines() folds CR/CRLF and Unicode line separators to "\n",
and lock it with a test.
YouTube channel descriptions pad their contact/link blocks with runs of blank
lines, which the About popover renders verbatim (whitespace-pre-wrap) — wasted
space and storage, and noise in the search_vector. Add normalize_description()
and apply it at both channel store sites (full details + initial import) so the
DB holds the clean text. New channels are clean immediately; existing rows heal
on their next metadata re-sync. Unit-tested in test_utils.
Round-3 review of the S3 config-fold, all in routes/scheduler.py:
- stale docstring: "Persisted to app_state" -> "Persisted via sysconfig" (the
batch moved stores in B-core-11; the comment didn't follow).
- drop the manual min/max check in the PATCH — sysconfig.set_value already
validates against the same spec bounds; catch its ValueError -> 400, matching
the config PATCH pattern (bounds enforced in one place).
- fetch sysconfig.spec(...) once into a local in the GET instead of twice.
No behaviour change beyond the 400 message wording (untested path). 368 pass.
Restores CLAUDE.md's canonical transaction rule ("the handler commits; helpers
flush; only quota owns its session") on the config path: sysconfig.set_value /
sysconfig.reset and state.set_sync_paused now flush instead of committing, so a
change lands in ONE transaction with the audit row the route records for it —
previously the helper's internal commit split them, and a crash between left the
mutation persisted with no audit trail.
All callers already commit (the config PATCH/DELETE + audit, the sync pause/resume
+ audit, the scheduler maintenance PATCH); the setup wizard, which relied on the
internal commit, gets an explicit db.commit() after its loop. apply_interval is
deliberately left committing — it performs a live APScheduler reschedule that must
follow the DB persist, so it owns its own unit of work (a legitimate exception,
like the download service transitions). New test locks the flush-not-commit
contract (a rollback before the caller commits discards the change). 368 pass.
The admin-tunable maintenance re-validation batch lived in its own app_state
column with a hand-rolled override-or-default reader in app.state — a fourth
config store duplicating the sysconfig SPECS pattern. Move it to a sysconfig key
(`maintenance` group, min=100 max=100_000): the reader (sync/maintenance.py) and
the Scheduler dashboard (routes/scheduler.py PATCH + GET) now go through
sysconfig.get_int / set_value / spec, and app.state loses get/set_maintenance_batch
+ the MIN/MAX constants + the settings import. Migration 0070 carries any existing
override into the system_config store before dropping the app_state column
(reversible; restores + copies back on downgrade). Reuses the existing
sysconfig.spec() for the dashboard's min/max, so the bounds have one source.
Full lane 365 pass (migration drift + reversibility exercised), ruff clean.
None are referenced by the SPA or tests; the Scheduler dashboard's "run now"
covers every manual trigger. Removed: POST /api/sync/{rss,backfill,enrich}
(+ the now-dead _user_channels helper and three sync.runner imports),
POST /api/tags/recompute (+ its admin_user / run_autotag_all imports), and
GET /auth/me (a lesser duplicate of the canonical /api/me in routes/me.py).
This also retires a latent bug: POST /api/sync/backfill reset backfill_done /
backfill_cursor on already-fully-backfilled channels (tipping them back to
"needs full history") for up to 25 channels per curl. Full lane 365 pass.
This codebase leans on "why" comments as its architecture doc, so a header that
claims the opposite of the code below it is worse than none. Fix the seven the
review flagged: channels.py (subscribe/unsubscribe shipped), playlists.py +
sync/playlists.py (YouTube two-way sync + write-back shipped), setup.py (drop the
"epic 6c" ref — the wizard steps exist), config.py ("auth._client_ip" ->
"routes.auth._client_ip"), db.py ("routes/plex.py" -> "routes/plex/" after the
package split), sysconfig.py (the "Phase C" note — the watch-sync job that reads
plex_watch_sync_interval_min has landed; clarified it's a boot default, not a knob).
Docs only.
Round-2 review of the R1 fixes found that the two-independent-limiter progress
writer issued a redundant heartbeat every interval during an ACTIVE download: a
percent change writes progress (which already refreshes updated_at, the stall
watchdog's liveness source), then the sub-integer calls that follow fire the
separate beat budget — ~2 DB writes/interval instead of the throttle's intended 1.
Replace the second limiter with a shared `last_touch` clock (last DB write OR
beat). Progress writes keep their own `allow_write` budget (so a beat still can't
delay a real write — the R1 concern), but the heartbeat now fires only when
nothing touched the row for a full interval. Active download → ~1 write/interval;
a genuinely stuck re-encode → 1 heartbeat/interval. New regression test:
an unchanged-percent call in the same interval as a write does NOT heartbeat.
ruff clean, full DB-lane 365 pass.
Round-1 review fixes on the E3 branch:
- prune partial-fetch (correctness): `_paginate` now reports whether it reached
the server's reported `total`; `_prune_stale` prunes only on a COMPLETE
non-empty listing. A truncated fetch (a mid-sequence empty/short page before
total — a transient Plex hiccup) no longer deletes the rows it merely failed
to list. New test: a listing that claims 5 but returns 1 prunes nothing.
- `_prune_stale` (robustness): `stats.get("pruned", 0) + 1` — no KeyError when a
caller's stats dict omits the key.
- service transitions (conventions): pause/resume/redownload use the JobStatus
StrEnum instead of loose "queued"/"paused"/"error" literals, matching cancel.
- ffmpeg progress writer (correctness): a stuck-percent heartbeat now runs on its
OWN 1/interval budget, so it can't consume the progress-write slot and delay a
real percent change by up to an interval.
- backend/app/README.md (conventions): reword the transaction-ownership rule to
quote and extend CLAUDE.md's canonical ("handler/job-wrapper commits; helpers
flush; only quota owns its session") instead of stating a contradicting
"helpers MAY commit" carve-out.
ruff clean, full DB-lane 364 pass.
The layering rule ("request-only logic in routes/; scheduler+worker-shared logic
in the plex|downloads|sync packages; cross-cutting primitives as flat core
modules; extract at the SECOND consumer") was real but unwritten — it lived only
in three module docstrings and a one-line README mention. Collect it, plus the
transaction-ownership rule (a mid-operation helper stages, the caller commits),
the atomic-counter / JobStatus-StrEnum conventions, and the one-home-per-config
rule, into backend/app/README.md. Add docs/development.md (run locally + the gate
commands + branching), so a new session/contributor has one place to look instead
of copying whichever pattern they happen to find first.
worker.py (~1090 L) mixed the PARENT supervisor (claim + supervise + the process
loop) with the CHILD pipeline (the yt-dlp/ffmpeg download+edit that runs in the
spawned subprocess). Extract them:
worker.py 1090 -> 475 parent: claim/supervise/loop
downloads/pipeline.py (new 592) the child pipeline (_download/_process_edit +
hooks/progress/ffmpeg helpers + _Aborted)
downloads/jobdb.py (new 73) the short-lived-session helpers both sides
share (_set_job/_job_status/_touch_job/
_requeue_if_running/_reset_asset_pending +
the staging-dir paths)
The graph is one-directional (runner -> pipeline -> jobdb; worker -> jobdb; no
worker<->pipeline edge) — the parent never calls the child directly, it spawns
runner.py as a subprocess. Consumers rewired: runner import, and two tests follow
the moved symbols (_media_info/_produced_file -> pipeline; the ffmpeg-callback
patches target pipeline where the names are looked up).
Pure code motion, verbatim bodies. ruff clean, full lane 363 pass (unchanged).
request-access / demo / register / verify / verify-resend / password-login /
password-reset(request|confirm) / set-password each took an untyped `payload:
dict` and hand-picked fields with `.get(...)`. Replace with five small BaseModels
(EmailIn, EmailPasswordIn, TokenIn, TokenPasswordIn, SetPasswordIn) so FastAPI
validates the body shape and publishes the schema. Fields are `str | None` to
preserve exact behaviour — a missing/null field still coerces via the existing
`(... or "")`, no stricter 422s. Green under the auth-session suite (7), ruff clean.
pause/resume/cancel/delete/redownload each hand-rolled their asset bookkeeping
inline in the route (release, failed-asset reset, the 20-line fresh-asset
rebuild), duplicating logic the worker/GC also touch. Move each transition into a
service.* method (service.pause/resume/cancel/delete/redownload) that owns the
mutation + its commit; the routes keep only auth, the HTTP 409 guards, and
serialization. Drops the now-dead _set_status route helper and two stale imports.
Pure behaviour-preserving code motion (routes -56 lines). Green under the E3 S2
transition net + the full downloads suite (363 pass), ruff clean.
Pins the observable HTTP behaviour of pause/resume/cancel/delete/redownload
(status changes, asset release, failed-asset reset, fresh-asset rebuild) before
the inline route logic moves into service.* methods. Green on the current routes.
The supervisor kills a job that writes nothing for download_stall_timeout_seconds
(150s) and labels it a "network" stall. But the ffmpeg progress writer only wrote
on an integer-percent CHANGE, so a re-encode that sits on one percent for minutes
(AV1/VP9 -> H.264 or a crop on the CPU-only prod host) produced no row write and
was killed mid-encode as "stalled" — and the retry stalled the same way.
Fix: the writer now heartbeats (`_touch_job`, bumping updated_at without touching
the progress bar) once per interval even when the whole percent is unchanged, so
a live-but-quiet re-encode keeps a fresh updated_at. Reorders the rate-limit gate
first so a burst still costs one DB op — either a progress write or a heartbeat.
Pure-logic test with an injected clock: three stuck-at-10% intervals write no new
progress but heartbeat each time. Full lane green, ruff clean.
