peter 6b0401b922 fix(logs): rule on every swallowed exception in the backend
114 exception handlers neither logged nor re-raised. The defect was never that
they are silent — plenty of them should be — it is that their silence said
nothing, so nobody could tell a decision from an oversight. Each one has now been
read. 44 got a line; the other 70 carry `# silent-ok: <why>`.

What the silent ones had been hiding, in the cases that got a line:
- A failed ffprobe sent every HDR file down the 8-bit pipeline, so playback
  degraded to a software transcode with nothing saying why; a failed audio probe
  collapsed a multi-audio file to one track and the player showed no language
  picker; a failed first-PTS probe left subtitles seconds out of sync.
- A subtitle sidecar that existed but would not parse made a PARTIAL track read as
  complete, permanently — the viewer loses every cue past the cached window.
- An unreadable crop/trim/cut-list in an edit spec was dropped, so the clip came
  out uncropped, untrimmed, or shorter than the one the user built.
- A dropped `max_height` downloaded at best quality against an explicit cap.
- A failed videos.list enrich made every candidate undroppable-from-judgement and
  therefore dropped: a working search rendered as "no results".
- An unusable password hash answered as "wrong password", locking the owner out
  and telling them they mistyped; a rotated TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY turned every
  stored token into "not connected".
- A stored admin setting that would not coerce fell back to the env default while
  the settings page went on showing the saved value.
- A one-off InnerTube config failure pinned the whole process to the hard-coded
  fallback key, and searches return nothing when that goes stale.
- The HLS sweep reported 0 swept — like a clean run — when it could not list its
  own root, leaving every crashed session's segments on disk forever.

Four of them are counted rather than logged per item (dropped cues, dropped cut
list segments, unreclaimed GC files) and reported once per call, because the
alternative is one line per cue over a whole subtitle track.

ruff gains S110 and BLE001. Every blind `except Exception` that remains carries
`# noqa: BLE001 — <why>`, which is the point: catching everything is sometimes
right, and always worth a sentence. plex/sync.py's three best-effort backfill
catches now keep the traceback — a blind catch over a batch that fetches AND
writes could be Plex, the database or our own bug, and `%s` of the exception told
them apart badly. main.py's boot-time log-level read likewise.

logs.event's `code` is positional-only now: `event("x", code=...)` was a TypeError,
and `code` is exactly the word a caller reaches for when the thing that failed has
one of its own.

tests/test_swallowed_exceptions.py is the wider rule ruff cannot see: a handler
that neither logs nor re-raises must say why. Both cases mutation-checked — a
marker removed and a log line removed each fail it, naming the handler.

"""The `log_events` sink (E22 S3): the stored copy of the log the diagnostics console reads.
stdout stays the complete log (docker keeps 3×50 MB of it); this table keeps the part worth querying
for `log_retention_days`:
* every WARNING and above,
* the `http.request` line of every request at INFO or above (not the DEBUG-level health checks and
static files),
* every line of a request whose user raised their diagnostics level (E22 S5 — `logs.LevelGate`
marks them), which is the detail they consented to have kept,
* nothing a caller marked `extra={logs.PERSIST: False}` — how the request log caps anonymous
traffic per client.
What the table must never do is slow down or break the code that logs. So a line is redacted and
turned into a row on the CALLER's thread (the same `logs.record_fields` the stdout line is built
from), put on a bounded queue without blocking, and written in batches by one background thread
on its own connection — never inside a request's transaction. A full queue drops the row and
counts it; a failed write drops the batch and says so on stderr. Both are reported rather than
retried: a log that retries into a sick database is how a small outage becomes a big one.
Flood control is the second half. On 2026-09-16 a YouTube RSS outage made prod log 11k near-identical
warnings in four hours. stdout keeps them all; the table keeps `REPEATS_PER_MINUTE` of each message
template per minute and one `log.repeats_suppressed` row saying how many more there were.
Core layer: imports `logs`, `db`, `models`, `config` — nothing above them.
