Second half of the 2026-08-17 review's "Plex query/cards extraction" — slim
the 1841-line browse.py god-module ahead of S6 (which reworks the library
query's column selection for the HU overlay).
- app/plex/cards.py: the pure grid/leaf card serializers (_movie_card,
_show_card, _episode_card, _leaf_card).
- app/plex/query.py: the library query-shaping layer — field-scope tsvector
rechecks (_TS_CONFIG, _FIELD_COLUMNS, _field_recheck) and the shared sidebar
metadata filters (_csv, _added_cutoff, _meta_filter_conds, _apply_meta_filters,
LibraryFilters, _like_escape). This is the seam S6 will touch.
browse.py imports both and keeps its route handlers; the entangled
collection/playlist card cluster (_collection_source/_collection_editable)
stays put deliberately. All helpers were browse-internal, so no external
importers change. Pure code motion — DB-lane suite 287 passed / 2 skipped;
ruff clean. browse.py 1841 -> 1667 lines.
