feat(scripts): the two media scan doors become commands

Both media servers' scan procedure lived only as a hand-written curl block in
the vault, and that block has bitten this fleet twice: the escaped-quote form
that reads exactly like a dead API key, and a config `url` line meeting a
command-line URL so curl quietly performs a second transfer and dumps the whole
task table on your stdout. Jellyfin's door is now
`scripts/media-refresh-jellyfin.py` (trigger / status / wait) and Plex's is
`scripts/media-refresh-plex.sh` (trigger / status);
`tests/media_refresh.bats` pins the contracts an operator observes, against a
stub and with no live server.

The Jellyfin `wait` encodes the settle law instead of a poll count: the Scan
Media Library task must be seen Running — or finish while watching, or already
pass the `--after` it is given — before any quiet read counts toward settled.
A watcher that saw no Running otherwise reports the pre-scan library as the
fresh one, which is how a rename looks applied while nothing has rescanned.
Plex's `status` needs no token at all: `section_locations.scanned_at` carries
the same epoch the API prints as `scannedAt` (measured on section 1 today).

Neither driver lets a secret reach argv or a URL: the Jellyfin key rides a
mode-600 curl config as the quoted MediaBrowser form, and the Plex token is
read inside the container, where the HTTPD actually answers, into a config file
that is shredded there.

"""Trigger and poll Jellyfin's library scan — the step that makes a media move visible.
media-refresh-jellyfin.py trigger [--force]
media-refresh-jellyfin.py status [--after EPOCH]
media-refresh-jellyfin.py wait [--after EPOCH] [--interval S] [--require-quiet N]
`status` answers {"scan": true, "taskState": "Running", "recentMedia": 17}: the
Scan Media Library row plus the rows the database has taken in recently; with
`--after` (a journal mtime) it also answers `scannedAfter` and exits non-zero
while the last finished scan predates it. `wait` calls the library settled only
on the page's law: a sighting of the task Running — or a run that finished while
it watched, or a `--after` the task already passes — and THEN `--require-quiet`
consecutive reads with no scan and no writes. Both the scan and the metadata
fetch must be quiet, and the Running sighting is what stops a watcher from
declaring a pre-scan library settled (Dankserver/Jellyfin.md).
Laws this encodes:
* Auth is `Authorization: MediaBrowser Token="…"`. A bare X-Emby-Token answers
401 (measured on franksdankcloud 12.4.0), which reads exactly like a dead
key. The key comes from a mode-600 file and never rides argv or a URL:
/proc/<pid>/cmdline is world-readable.
* `POST /Library/Refresh` (204) is the ONLY door that queues work on 12.4, and
it walks every library. `POST /Items/{id}/Refresh` answers 204 and queues
NOTHING (measured twice, 2026-11-02) — so there is no --library here.
* A SECOND accepted POST cancels and restarts the scan already running, so
progress looks frozen while you hammer it. `trigger` therefore refuses while
the Scan Media Library task is not Idle; --force says you want the restart.
* 429 means busy. Waiting is the only response that helps, and it is bounded
so a wedged server ends the run with a named failure instead of a loop.
* `RefreshStatus` on /Library/VirtualFolders stays Idle through a live scan;
never poll it. The task table is the only honest read.
Defaults are this fleet's layout: http://127.0.0.1:8096, the key at
~/.config/secrets/jellyfin, and the database found by trying, in order, $JELLYFIN_DB,
~/.local/share/jellyfin/jellyfin.db and the quadlet's config bind.

# Trigger and poll ONE Plex library section — the step that makes a media move visible.
#
# media-refresh-plex.sh trigger --library KEY
# media-refresh-plex.sh status --library KEY [--after EPOCH]
#
# One section only: refreshing all five costs a full walk of each and buys
# nothing for a rename that touched one tree. And a rename on the array is
# invisible until the section is rescanned — the server is bound at the SSD
# metadata view, so an array-side move is not an event its watcher ever sees.
#
# Two host realities shape this script:
# * PMS's HTTPD closes without a single byte on a request that arrives from
# another netns (the host and the 10.89.x.x container address both read as
# "empty reply"), and it serves TLS to remote clients. So the request rides
# plain http://127.0.0.1:32400 INSIDE the container, shipped in as a file —
# a three-layer ssh/podman/sh quoting chain only produces parse errors.
# * The token is `PlexOnlineToken` in the container's Preferences.xml (not
# PlexHTTPToken, which a claimed server may not carry). It is read inside
# the container and used from a curl config there: never argv (any process
# on the host reads /proc/<pid>/cmdline), never a URL (proxies log URLs).
#
# Progress needs no token and no container: `section_locations.scanned_at` in
# the library database is the same epoch the API prints as `scannedAt`
# (verified 2026-11-04), so `status` reads the database and compares it against
# --after. `trigger` answering 000 means PMS is still warming — retry, never
# restart the service over it. Proof that a rename actually landed is
# scripts/media-verify.py replaying the journal; this script only moves the
# scanner along.

# Seam: scripts/media-refresh-jellyfin.py + scripts/media-refresh-plex.sh —
# the two library-refresh drivers every media pass ends with.
#
# The rescan is the part of a media move that actually makes it visible, and
# both servers punish the naive version of it. Jellyfin 12.4: the quoted
# MediaBrowser header is the only auth form; POST /Library/Refresh is the only
# door that queues work; a SECOND accepted POST cancels the scan already
# running, so the index looks frozen while you hammer it; 429 means wait. Plex:
# its HTTPD answers nobody outside its own netns and speaks TLS to everyone who
# is inside the LAN, so the request has to be shipped INTO the container; the
# token is PlexOnlineToken in the container's Preferences.xml; and progress is
# readable without any of that, from section_locations.scanned_at. This seam
# pins, against stubs that speak those APIs:
# 1. the Jellyfin driver authenticates as `Authorization: MediaBrowser
# Token="…"`, and an auth refusal ends the run naming the code;
# 2. a trigger while Scan Media Library is running is REFUSED with no POST at
# all (the cancel-restart trap); --force overrides;
# 3. a 429 is waited out with a bounded number of attempts, never hammered,
# and a still-busy server ends in a non-zero exit that says 429;
# 4. `status` prints {"scan": …, "recentMedia": …} from the task table plus a
# fixture DB, and `wait` returns only after N consecutive quiet reads;
# 5. the Plex driver carries the token from the container's Preferences.xml
# into a header — never argv, never a URL;
# 6. a Plex trigger that gets no answer is a warming server: retried, bounded,
# and reported as 000 rather than a service restart;
# 7. Plex `status` answers from section_locations.scanned_at and is exit-0
# only when that epoch has passed --after;
# 8. a missing credential or database is refused by NAME before any request.
