feat(jellyfin): big-screen theme for the TV, mounted into the wmc slot

shared/homepage/dankserver.services.json was read by nothing: no reference
anywhere in the repo, and deploy_homepage never copies it. It sat beside the
real registry looking like a second live card set, which is exactly how a
future agent gets misled about what the page renders. Moved to the gitignored
shared/homepage/.AGENTTRASH/ beside it, so it stays recoverable.

+# audiobookshelf-init.sh — make an Audiobookshelf server usable, from nothing.
+#
+# Why this is a script and not a browser session (live 2026-11-02, Dankserver):
+# a freshly deployed Audiobookshelf answers /healthcheck with 200 while it has no
+# user, no library and no scan — "healthy" says nothing about usefulness, and a
+# service that only works after someone remembers to click through a first-run
+# wizard is not deployed, it is installed. Everything below is the API the React
+# client itself calls, so the same procedure runs unattended and lands in git.
+#
+# The API facts this script depends on, read off the pinned image rather than
+# guessed (dist-server/server/Server.js inside the digest this repo pins):
+#   * the creation route is POST /init with {"newRoot":{"username","password"}}.
+#     There is NO /setup route in 2.37.x — POST /setup answers "Unauthorized",
+#     which reads exactly like an auth fault and is instead a missing route.
+#   * /status (no /api prefix) reports {"isInit": <has a root user>}; every route
+#     under /api needs the bearer token that POST /login returns.
+#   * the library count is NOT a field on the library DTO; the door is
+#     GET /api/libraries/{id}/items -> {"total": N}.
+#
+# The credential is generated once into a mode-600 host file and never enters
+# the repo, the URL, or a process argument list. Same pattern as calibre-server.
+#
+# Single sign-on (authentik) is armed by the same run, and only when the credential
+# file carries ABS_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET, so a local-only deployment is unchanged by a
+# re-run. These OIDC facts came from the same pinned image, and each one is a trap:
+#   * isOpenIDAuthSettingsValid demands issuer + authorization + token + userinfo +
+#     jwks + clientID + clientSecret + signingAlgorithm at once. Miss one and the
+#     server SILENTLY strips 'openid' from authActiveAuthMethods and falls back to
+#     ['local'] while answering 200 everywhere — so the only honest check is what
+#     /status says AFTER the write, which is what this script does.
+#   * the algorithm is HS256, not the image's RS256 default: no provider on the
+#     fleet's authentik carries a signing key, so the client secret IS the signature
+#     key (scripts/authentik-audiobookshelf-sso.sh). Left at RS256, every id_token
+#     fails verification and the failure looks like a broken IdP.
+#   * the auth block lives on PATCH /api/auth-settings. PATCH /api/settings has a
+#     20-key allowlist (PATCHABLE_SETTINGS_KEYS) with NO auth key in it, so writing
+#     the OIDC config there answers 200 and changes nothing — measured on this host
+#     2026-11-02. The keys /api/auth-settings accepts are exactly its own
+#     authenticationSettings getters; anything else is skipped with a debug line.
+#   * authOpenIDSubfolderForRedirectURLs must be sent explicitly. The 2.17.4 migration only
+#     fills it on a DB that ALREADY had OIDC on, so a database created before SSO leaves it
+#     UNDEFINED and the server builds redirect_uri
+#     "http://host/undefined/auth/openid/callback" — authentik answers the authorize request
+#     with "Redirect URI Error" (measured 2026-11-02). This script derives the value from
+#     ABS_URL's path, so it cannot drift from the unit's ROUTER_BASE_PATH.
+#   * 'local' stays in authActiveAuthMethods on purpose: if authentik is ever down,
+#     the root account must still be able to sign into its own server.

+# authentik-audiobookshelf-sso.sh — provision the authentik side of Audiobookshelf SSO.
+#
+# Why a script: this state lives in authentik's DATABASE, not in any repo file, and a
+# blueprint re-import or a rebuild-from-scratch reverts hand-made provider rows
+# silently. Same reasoning (and same door) as
+# authentik-set-login-session-duration.sh: ssh into Dankclaw, `ak shell` from stdin.
+# Re-run this after such a rebuild.
+#
+# The contract with Audiobookshelf, read off the pinned image (2.37.2,
+# dist-server/server/auth/OidcAuthStrategy.js + objects/settings/ServerSettings.js)
+# rather than a forum, because each of these is a dead-login trap:
+#
+#   * Two URIs per origin ABS is reached at — <base>/auth/openid/callback and
+#     <base>/auth/openid/mobile-redirect — for EVERY entry in BASES (the LAN address
+#     and the public vhost). ABS SWAPS the app's own audiobookshelf://oauth for the
+#     mobile-redirect URL before the IdP ever sees a redirect_uri, so registering the
+#     app scheme with authentik — the obvious move — is what makes phone logins fail.
+#     The app scheme belongs in ABS's authOpenIDMobileRedirectURIs list (its built-in
+#     default), not here. The mobile URI exists on every origin because the app sends
+#     the one belonging to the door it was configured with: the vhost started serving
+#     non-browser clients on 2026-11-03 (it left the guard chain), so a phone pointed
+#     at the public name sends the public mobile-redirect URI, and STRICT matching
+#     answers an unregistered one with "Redirect URI Error".
+#   * <base> CARRIES THE BASE PATH. ABS builds redirect_uri as
+#     <origin><authOpenIDSubfolderForRedirectURLs>/auth/openid/callback, and that subfolder is
+#     the ROUTER_BASE_PATH the container is mounted at — /audiobookshelf, which is also the only
+#     base path the shipped SPA can boot under. Left unset (the fresh-DB default) the URL
+#     becomes "/undefined/…"; a provider registered without the prefix mismatches the same way
+#     (measured 2026-11-02, "Redirect URI Error"). audiobookshelf-init.sh derives its copy from
+#     ABS_URL, so the two sides each move with one variable.
+#   * ABS requests the scopes "openid profile email <GroupClaim> [<PermsClaim>]": the
+#     CLAIM NAME is a scope name. So authentik needs a scope mapping whose scope_name
+#     is exactly the claim name, or the claim never arrives and the callback dies on
+#     "Group claim <name> not found in userinfo".
+#   * the claim's VALUES must be ABS role names — the callback picks the first of
+#     ['admin','user','guest'] present in the list. Group names like
+#     audiobookshelf_admins are therefore translated by the mapping, never passed
+#     through. A user in neither group gets [] and is denied (fail closed).
+#   * tokens are HS256 here: no provider on this box carries a signing_key (census
+#     2026-11-02), which makes the client secret the signature key. ABS's own default
+#     is RS256, so the ABS side MUST be set to HS256 or every id_token fails
+#     verification.
+#   * provider.authorization_flow must be non-NULL or /application/o/authorize/
+#     answers a 500 with 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'slug' (measured on
+#     grafana, same authentik build).
+#   * provider.grant_types MUST contain authorization_code. authentik 2026.8 defaults an
+#     ORM-created provider to the EMPTY list, and /application/o/authorize/ then refuses the
+#     code flow with oauthlib's generic "The request is otherwise malformed"; the only line
+#     that names the cause is the server log's 'Invalid grant_type for provider'. The
+#     redirect-URI check runs FIRST, so a provider carrying both faults shows only the URI
+#     error until the URI is fixed (measured 2026-11-02, where the login survived the URI fix
+#     and died here).
+#   * property_mappings must carry the built-in OpenID scope mappings ('openid', 'profile',
+#     'email') alongside the claim mapping. A provider holding only the claim mapping grants a
+#     token scoped shorter than the scopes ABS requests, and ABS's /userinfo call then dies
+#     'insufficient_scope (The request requires higher privileges than provided by the access
+#     token)' after authentik has already issued a good code (measured 2026-11-02).
+#
+# Idempotent: every object is created or asserted. Safe to re-run.

+#     "This page isn't working / HTTP ERROR 400"). Same provider, one step

+the container; off-LAN the same name resolves to the WAN address and takes the same route
+(inbound 443 is forwarded at the router — fetched from a datacenter node 2026-11-03). The raw
+LAN address still answers and is the break-glass door whenever Caddy is down. `/ping`
+(`{"success":true}`) and `/healthcheck` (`OK`) answer at the ROOT whatever `ROUTER_BASE_PATH`
+says, so the app's connectivity probe works before it resolves the base path at all, and
+`download: true` on the account is what makes offline listening work.
+
+**A home device that bypasses Pi-hole cannot reach it.** The G36 does not hairpin: resolving
+the name to the WAN address from inside the LAN times out (measured 2026-11-03). Only a
+client pinned to an external resolver hits this — everything using the router's DNS gets the
+LAN answer.
+
+**The login token is at `user.token`, not top level.** `POST /login` answers
+`{ user, serverSettings, ereaderDevices, Source, userDefaultLibraryId }` and the bearer sits
+inside the user object. A client that reads `response.token` gets the empty string, sends
+`Authorization: Bearer ` with nothing after it, and every `/api/*` call then answers `401`
+as though the password were wrong.
+
+**`POST /api/login` is not a route.** Local login is `POST <base>/login`, and the `/api`
+bearer guard answers anything else with a bare `401 Unauthorized` while logging **nothing** —
+no `[LocalAuth]` line — so a wrong path is indistinguishable from a wrong password unless the
+journal is read too. Same family as the absent `/setup` route named in
+`scripts/audiobookshelf-init.sh`. To settle a suspected stale credential without signing in:
+bcrypt-compare the recorded value against `users.pash` in
+`/home/dank/Containers/audiobookshelf/config/absdatabase.sqlite`, opened read-only
+(`file:<path>?mode=ro`).
+
+## Listeners (accounts)
+
+The door is public now, so the account is the only gate between a listener and the library.
+Two ways in, both per listener:
+
+- **Local account** — **Settings → Users → Add User**: type `user`, tick only the libraries
+  they may hear, and leave `download` off unless they need offline listening. Hand them the
+  server address above and their own password.
+- **Household SSO** — create the authentik account, and that is the whole of it: the first
+  **Sign in with Authentik** auto-registers the ABS account (`authOpenIDAutoRegister`) as a
+  listener, because the claim grants that role to every signer. To shut a listener off,
+  disable or delete their user in Audiobookshelf — no IdP group membership can withhold it.
+
+What auto-registration hands out (read off the state DB, 2026-11-03): `accessAllLibraries:
+true` and `download: true` — every household signer lands on the **whole** library with
+offline downloads already on. Narrow it per account in **Settings → Users → <name>**. The DB
+is the census when no admin token is at hand; `GET /api/users` returns the *limited* shape
+(no `active`, no `librariesAccessible`), so a missing key there is not a denial, and an
+account created by SSO has `pash` NULL with its IdP link at `extraData.authOpenIDSub`.
+
+Nothing rate-limits `POST /audiobookshelf/login` — this Caddy build carries no `rate_limit`
+module and ABS 2.37.2 ships no lockout — so the form is a guessing target exactly like
+`jelly.`, `plex.` and the *arr logins already are. The mitigation is credential hygiene:
+long unique passwords per listener, never a reuse of the root password.
+
+## Single sign-on (authentik)
+
+Both doors take the household identity: the web UI puts **Sign in with Authentik** beside
+the local form, and the phone app offers SSO on its server-address screen. The local
+`frank` account stays enabled on purpose — `authActiveAuthMethods` is `local` **and**
+`openid`, and `local` is how you get in when the IdP is down.
+
+| Piece | Owner |
+|-------|-------|
+| Provider `audiobookshelf`, the admin group, the scope mapping | `scripts/authentik-audiobookshelf-sso.sh` — re-run it after an authentik rebuild, because this state lives in the IdP's database and a blueprint re-import reverts it silently |
+| Client secret | `ABS_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET` in `~/.config/secrets/audiobookshelf` on Dankserver (mode 600; never in the repo, a URL or an argv) |
+| The ABS half: issuer, the four IdP URLs, claim, auto-register | `scripts/audiobookshelf-init.sh`, armed automatically when that secret exists in the credential file |
+| Role at first SSO sign-in | the `abs_groups` claim: every signer gets `user`; `audiobookshelf_admins` adds `admin`. Nothing in the IdP can deny the listener role — the login itself is the gate (law since 2026-11-03; the `audiobookshelf_users` group was retired, it had zero members and every household account was being refused) |
+| Admin group members | `akadmin` (the operator's own authentik admin account — sign in as it and the claim grants site admin) and `qa-e2e-admin` (the identity the deploy gate signs in as, so the script re-adds it every run; drop it and the gate fails, not a phone) |
+| Guard state of the door | none since 2026-11-03: proxy provider `audiobooks-proxy` and application "Audiobookshelf Guard" were deleted and the embedded outpost un-claimed them, because that chain answers a native client with challenge HTML ([[Caddy]] *Unguard a vhost* for the order). The SSO relying party `audiobookshelf` above is a different object and stays |
+| Redirect URIs on the RP | `<base>/auth/openid/callback` **and** `<base>/auth/openid/mobile-redirect` for **both** origins (LAN address and public name): the app sends the mobile URI belonging to the door it was configured with, and STRICT matching answers an unregistered one with "Redirect URI Error" |
+
+With `authOpenIDAutoRegister` on, a first sign-in creates the account and the claim alone
+decides its type — and the claim always carries `user`, so **the IdP is now the library gate**:
+any authentik account that can reach this application becomes a listener. That is the
+intent (the household signs in with the accounts it already has), and its breadth is
+accepted on purpose: no access policy is bound to the `audiobookshelf` application, and
+the wide auto-registered default (every library, downloads on) is **not a defect to fix** —
+Frank's call, 2026-11-03. Narrowing stays a per-account judgement in **Settings → Users**.
+The one thing still worth watching is authentik's own invitation/signup flow: it must
+remain something only Frank drives, because an account created there is a listener the
+moment it signs in. Revoking one person is a disable/delete of their ABS user; revoking
+everyone is that signup flow.
+
+Both halves — authentik's provider row and ABS's settings — are asserted end to end by the Playwright gate named in *Verification*. `23-` signs in as `qa-e2e-admin` and must land inside the app with site-admin rights; `24-` signs in as the standard identity, which is in no Audiobookshelf group, and must land as a listener. Together they pin the escalation and the default: a mapping that stops granting silently locks the household out, and a mapping that over-grants turns the household into site admins.

+- **The URL carries `/audiobookshelf`, and that is not a style choice.** The SPA in
+  `/app/client/dist/index.html` is built with `routerBasePath:"/audiobookshelf"`, so it asks

+  script request falls through to the SPA fallback, comes back `text/html`, Chrome refuses to
+  execute it, and the page never leaves "Loading…" — while `/healthcheck`, the API and the
+  phone app stay perfectly healthy, which is how this hid behind an API-only verification
+  (measured 2026-11-02). Prove a UI claim in a browser, never from `/health`.
+- **The OIDC redirect subfolder is a value you send, not a default you inherit.** The 2.17.4
+  upgrade only fills `authOpenIDSubfolderForRedirectURLs` on a database that ALREADY had OIDC
+  enabled, so a DB created before SSO leaves it unset and the server builds
+  `http://host/undefined/auth/openid/callback`. authentik answers the authorize request with
+  "Redirect URI Error" and nothing on the ABS side looks wrong (measured 2026-11-02). The
+  provider's registered URI must equal `<origin><subfolder>/auth/openid/callback`, so each
+  script derives the value from one variable of its own (`ABS_URL`, `ABS_BASE`) and
+  `tests/audiobookshelf_init.bats` pins what reaches the wire.
+- **An ORM-created provider has no grant types.** authentik 2026.8 defaults `grant_types` to
+  `[]`, and `/application/o/authorize/` then refuses the code flow with oauthlib's generic
+  "The request is otherwise malformed" — the wire names nothing, the server log line that names
+  it is `Invalid grant_type for provider`. Worse, the redirect-URI check runs *first*, so a
+  provider carrying both faults shows only "Redirect URI Error" until the URI is fixed, and the
+  second wall appears after the fix ships (measured 2026-11-02: the browser reached authentik,
+  got `code`+`state`, and ABS still bounced to `/login?error=undefined`). The script sets
+  `authorization_code` + `refresh_token`; a blueprint re-import reverts the row silently.
+- **The guarded door has to tell the truth about its scheme.** ABS validates every OIDC
+  `callback` against the origin it believes it is served from — `getRequestOrigin()` is
+  `x-forwarded-proto://Host` (`server/utils/requestUtils.js`, read in the pinned digest
+  2026-11-03) — so behind a TLS edge that reaches the container over plain http it computes
+  `http://audiobooks.franksdank.cloud` and answers its own https callback with a 400 "Invalid callback
+  URL - must be same-origin" before the IdP is ever contacted. The Caddy `:8017` route pins
+  `header_up X-Forwarded-Proto https` for exactly that reason ([[Caddy]] *Guard a new vhost*);
+  the LAN door needs nothing, because there browser and server agree on `http`.
+- **The claim mapping is not the whole `property_mappings` list.** A provider holding only the
+  custom mapping grants a token scoped shorter than the scopes ABS requests
+  (`openid profile email abs_groups`): the code is issued and exchanged normally, and ABS's
+  `/userinfo` call then dies `insufficient_scope (The request requires higher privileges than
+  provided by the access token)` — a fault that reads like an ABS bug and is an IdP row. Attach
+  the built-in OpenID `openid`/`profile`/`email` mappings beside the claim mapping, which is
+  what every working RP on this IdP carries (measured 2026-11-02).
+- **With `authOpenIDMatchExistingBy` unset, an SSO identity never lands on an existing ABS
+  account, and a name collision is a hard denial.** In that mode `findUserFromOpenIdUserInfo`
+  matches on `sub` only, so every first sign-in auto-registers a NEW user; if the IdP username
+  equals an ABS username — the local root `frank` is the one here — the create hits the unique
+  constraint and the callback dies `Unauthorized`. So "create a `frank` user in authentik" does
+  not reach the root account: either set `authOpenIDMatchExistingBy` to `username` (links the
+  IdP account to the existing one, and `setUserGroup` refuses to downgrade a root — root plus an

+  inside the pinned digest rather than from a forum.
+- **A 200 may carry plain text.** `res.sendStatus(200)` answers the body `OK`, and
+  `/init` and the scan route use it; a client that parses every success as JSON
+  crashes on the one call that matters (`tests/audiobookshelf_init.bats` pins it).
+- **The item count is not a field on the library DTO, and paging never ends
+  itself.** The door is `GET /api/libraries/<id>/items?limit=1` → `total`; a poller
+  that guesses a plausible name (`numItems`) prints `0` forever beside a scan that
+  is working. Paging is on `page` (0-based) plus `limit`, and **`offset` is
+  ignored**: `limit=500&offset=500` returns the same 500 ids as `offset=0`, while
+  `page=1` shares none of them. A census that pages on `offset` therefore reads
+  `ceil(total / limit) × limit` rows containing only `limit` distinct items — the
+  exact origin of the "exactly 1,500" and "exactly 4,000" counts two runs
+  reported for one library. Page on `page`, count *unique ids*, stop on `total`,
+  and take the number after the pass settles (`total` moves during a scan).
+- **A fresh scan is the only thing that notices new audio.** `inotify` does not
+  cross a rootless podman bind — measured for [[Jellyfin]], whose page owns that
+  law — so the in-container watcher sees nothing a host process files onto the
+  array, and the deployer's re-run of the bootstrapper is the cheap scan trigger.
+- **One stray media file at a collection root turns the whole collection into one
+  book.** Every scan re-walks the tree from disk (`scanFolder` → `recurseFiles`),
+  and `utils/scandir.js:groupFileItemsIntoLibraryItemDirs` assigns each file to the
+  FIRST directory along its path that already has a group: the first file seen at a
+  root owns every deeper file, and the folders below it never become items. One
+  949 MB `.cbr` sitting at `_unsorted`'s root collapsed 652 book folders into a
+  single item of 5,693 tracks, titled after whichever file supplied metadata.
+  "Hundreds of books are missing" is a layout fault, not a scan fault.
+- **"Media file" means audio OR ebook, so an audio-only census cannot see the file
+  that is hiding the library.** With `audiobooksOnly=false` (the deployed shape)
+  the predicate is `SupportedAudioTypes` ∪ `SupportedEbookTypes`: 20 audio
+  extensions (including `mp4`, `mpg`, `webm`) plus `epub pdf mobi azw3 cbr cbz`. A
+  census reporting "that root holds no loose audio" can be correct and still
+  useless — the file doing the shadowing here was a comic archive.
+- **Deleting the covering item does not un-shadow anything.** Grouping is recomputed
+  from disk, so the next scan rebuilds the item from the same stray file (measured:
+  `DELETE`, then scan → `1 Added`, the item back at the same path). The fix is the
+  MOVE: give every stray root file a folder of its own (one file per folder is
+  ABS's own single-book layout; formats of one book share a folder), through the
+  journal-guarded mover, then delete the stale item so the old path is not kept,
+  then scan.
+- **`?force=1` is neither a discovery arm nor a repair arm.** Both arms of
+  `POST /libraries/:id/scan` walk the disk, so finding new folders needs neither
+  and the deployer's cheap trigger stays on the plain arm. Force additionally
+  re-scans every item that already exists (measured 1:33 against 0:04 on ~4,600
+  items) and repaired nothing on a library whose residuals were file-level: item
+  count, path set and media-less count identical before and after.
+- **`DELETE /api/items/:id` is a DB row; `?hard=1` is `fs.remove()`.** In
+  `LibraryItemController.delete`, `hardDelete = req.query.hard == 1` and then
+  `fs.remove(libraryItemPath)`. Pointed at a covering item, that path is the whole
+  swallowed subtree — `hard=1` there deletes every book beneath it off the array.
+  Assert the item's `path` first, and never pass `hard`.
+- **`Invalid data found when processing input` names the file, not the bind.** The
+  scanner logs it per file and skips that file; a book whose files ALL fail never
+  becomes an item at all, so the disk-vs-DB folder census shows it as a book with
+  no item. That is corrupt media, not a lost book. Never clear a suspect file with
+  a lenient probe: `ffprobe -show_entries format=duration` happily returns three
+  hours for the WAV bytes wearing a `.mp3` name that the scanner refuses. Read the
+  log's file paths instead, and `stat -c %s` first — 0-byte files are the common
+  case, and a truncated download reports `moov atom not found`.
+- **A `Disc 01` / `CD 1` subfolder is part of a book, not a book.** The extension
+  census counts those folders; ABS deliberately does not — its grouping attaches
+  their files to the ancestor item (measured: 110 such folders under one item
+  carrying all 192 tracks). Read the basename before believing a disk-vs-DB gap.
+- **`.cbr`/`.cbz` group like media and never play.** They sit in the grouping
+  predicate, so they hide books, but the comic parser throws `ERAR_BAD_ARCHIVE`
+  (`parseComicMetadata` → `CbrComicBookExtractor`) and the item lands with no
+  media. A media-less row beside those lines is the file, not the scanner.
+- **A scan is finished when a NEW scan uuid completes.** Match
+  `Library scan "<uuid>" completed in ...`. `podman logs --since 30m` is a sliding
+  window: the set of visible completion lines changes on its own as old lines age
+  out, so a poller keyed on that hash reads a mid-scan number and calls it done.

+reads as a server fault and is a field-name fault.
+
+**`RemoteImages` answers empty for an item with no `ProviderIds`** — no provider id,
+nothing to look up. Art coverage is capped by identification, not by the image door:
+the items a campaign returns nothing for are the unidentified ones, and no image
+retry will change that.
+
+**A `Download` pass reports zero only when it is pinned to one provider.** A TMDb-pinned
+campaign over `Shows` classified every item in 20 s, downloaded nothing, and concluded that
+identification was the only lever left. The same door queried with no `Providers=` filter
+answered for 16 seasons that same day — every offer from `TheTVDB`, which the pinned form
+never asks — and all 16 are dressed now. A pinned answer proves one provider is empty; the
+unpinned answer is the provider census, and a TV art loop that pins is simply the wrong tool.
+Post-fill the artless remainder measures 86 items (80 seasons, 6 series): 61 carry no provider
+id at all — the unnamed long tail (`3a BBW - Series (2010-11)`, `History Of Africa With Zeinab
+Badawi`, `(Warhammer TV)`-shaped directories), where the lever is folder names or an identify
+pass — and 25 hold an id and draw no offer from any provider. No image retry moves either
+group, which is the half of the old conclusion that survives.
+
+**Series and season art is fetched; episode stills are not, deliberately.** Every
+episode query is a fresh provider round-trip — nothing caches per episode — measured
+at ~11 s per item beside ~2 s per series on the same host, with one hit in five in a
+sample. Across 42k episodes that is days of provider traffic to dress a fifth of them,
+and clients display the series and season art anyway. If episode stills are ever
+ordered, the loop is the same door and its log makes the pass resumable.
+
+**API shape on 12.x:** `/Items/{id}` needs `UserId` when authenticated by API key — without
+it the answer is `400 Error processing request`, which reads exactly like an authentication
+failure, and it bites hardest as a *verification* read directly after a write that succeeded.
+The `/Items` list route, `?Ids=<id>` included, needs no `UserId`, so verify writes there.
+`MetadataRefreshMode`
 accepts `Default` (and `Realtime`) only; `Full` and `ValidationFailure` are
 rejected outright, and what forces the providers to re-run is
 `ReplaceAllMetadata=true`.

+  use?" cannot be answered from the ledger. The census is repo + host credential
+  stores + the `Devices` table (whose `DateLastActivity` *is* real).

+## Big-screen theme (the TV)
+
+`dankserver/jellyfin/theme/wmc/theme.css` is repo-owned and bind-mounted over the
+image's **Media Center** theme slot (the `Volume=` line in
+`dankserver/jellyfin/quadlet/jellyfin.container`). It exists for
+`danklivingroom`, which renders this server-served web app at 3840×2160 with no
+client-side scaling, so 14 px text arrives on a panel read from three metres.
+
+The file is four rules, and its first line is the design:
+`@import url("../dark/theme.css")` pulls in the **live upstream** dark palette, so
+the repo never vendors a CSS snapshot and a Jellyfin image bump cannot strand one.
+That works because jellyfin-web applies a theme as
+`<link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/<id>/theme.css">` — a relative URL resolved
+against the CSS file, not the document. The size lives in one number:
+`--dank-big-screen-zoom` (1.75 ≈ three metres; 1.5 mild, 2.0 projector). `zoom` on
+the root element is the right lever: the card-grid code measures layout pixels, so
+fewer, larger columns are computed rather than overflow produced.
+
+- **Adoption is per device, and it stays that way.** The theme a client renders
+  comes from its own settings (localStorage first), so there is no server-side
+  "everyone gets the big UI" knob. On the screen that wants it:
+  **Display Settings → Theme → Media Center.** That is also the honest label —
+  the dropdown names are compiled into the bundle, so a "Big Screen" entry will
+  never appear; do not go looking for one.
+- The mount is `:ro` and the app only fetches the file, so the failure mode of a
+  stale `@import` target is slightly wrong colors, never a dead web app.
+- **Editing the CSS needs no restart.** The bind hands out the host file's live
+  bytes, so a changed zoom number is on screen at the next page load. The planner
+  agrees by construction: only `dankserver/<svc>/quadlet/**` maps to a service, so
+  a `theme/**`-only commit plans nothing — that is correct, not a gap to "fix",
+  because restarting a media server for a font size is the wrong trade. Only the
+  first deploy of the `Volume=` line restarts anything.
+- **Rollback is one line:** drop the `Volume=` and redeploy; nothing in the
+  database records the theme, so no cleanup follows.

-Evidence, strongest first — the order the planner believes things:
-
-- the **episode marker the file's own name states** (`S01E02-E03`, `1x04`); a digit
-  run longer than three at that position is NOT a number — `S03E2019` and
-  `S04E47370355` are one box set's airdate fragment and pack index — so such a file
-  is renumbered by tvdb's title or parks, and is never truncated down to fit;
-- the **`Season NN` folder it sits in and the number its name leads with inside
-  it**: `Season 19/01 Charles Barkley, Nirvana.avi` is S19E01;
-- the **provider row**: which episode the file IS, and the numbering of a file
-  whose own name says nothing;
-- the **row's tvdb id, else its TMDb id carried through TMDb's external ids, else
-  an exact tvdb name search**: that id names the SERIES FOLDER and supplies the
-  episode title, because a name the server read off a folder is not a show name.
-  The folder CARRIES the id: `[tvdbid-NNNN]` is what Jellyfin's Tvdb agent and
-  Plex's scanner both read, so a show whose title is ambiguous resolves by number
-  instead of by a human guessing which folder is which. The id rides the folder
-  only — a file name gets 180 characters and the episode title needs the room.
-- a **bonus folder** anywhere above the file, or Jellyfin's `ExtraType` → the
-  series' canonical extra folder;
-- a runtime over `SHORT_MAX` makes it film-shaped, and it leaves for `--movies` only
-  when the movie provider's title is a run of words the FILE itself states and its
-  year agrees with the file's: the query is only what `title_of` salvaged from a
-  release name, and the first hit for a short one is a near miss — a 1963 Bond film
-  for the word "russia", *Special Edition I* for a file saying *Edition III*. Else it
-  parks.
-
-Four refusals carry the design: what the planner will NOT do is the point of it.
-
-- **Folders resolve a series; they never invent one.** A folder's words may
-  resolve a file to a series a provider has already named — `(CBB) Tengen Toppa

+# Media TV Relayout
+
+The `/mnt/entropy/TVShows` share arrived as scene packs — release folders whose
+names are the release, not the show. This arm re-files it into the shape
+[[Jellyfin]] reads, with tvdb as the name authority. The executor, the journal,
+the sweep and the rollback belong to [[Media Relayout]]; this page owns the TV
+authority order, the refusals, and the test that decides a split.
+
+`/mnt/entropy/TVShows` is scene packs rather than a library, and Jellyfin has
+already matched and numbered most of it. `scripts/media-shows.py` re-files that
+library into the shape Jellyfin reads, with **tvdb as the name authority**:
+
+    <Series> (<year>) [tvdbid-NNNN]/Season NN/
+        <Series> (<year>) - SxxEyy - <Episode Title>.ext
+
+It never guesses: every series name, episode number and title it writes traces to
+an authority, and what has none is parked for a human to read.
+
+```bash
+# 1. The authority: Jellyfin's own matched rows — each carries the series' TMDb
+#    and Tvdb ids and the title the row holds (the DB opens read-only).
+python3 scripts/media-census.py jellyfin --root /mnt/entropy/TVShows \
+    --out /tmp/tv_titles.tsv
+# 2. What is on disk (stat only), and the runtimes the film arm needs.
+python3 scripts/media-census.py enumerate --root /mnt/entropy/TVShows \
+    --out /tmp/tv_enum.tsv
+python3 scripts/media-census.py probe --root /mnt/entropy/TVShows \
+    --enum /tmp/tv_enum.tsv --jobs 6 --out /tmp/tv_probed.tsv
+#    The probe is the slow step: ffprobe reads both ends of every file. So re-use
+#    the last one — a duration belongs to the file, not to its name: re-key the
+#    previous census through that pass's own journal (`src` -> `dst`) instead of
+#    seeking the array again. It is also the only column the film arm reads, and
+#    only for a file with no marker and no provider row (4,794 of 58,551 today,
+#    all of them covered by a re-key that costs seconds, not an hour).
+# 3. The plan. --tmdb needs TMDB_API_KEY — the v3 key in ~/.config/secrets/tmdb,
+#    which travels as the `api_key` query parameter. Only a v4 request token is
+#    accepted as a Bearer header, and the wrong shape answers 401 on EVERY call,
+#    which the summary line flags as NOT provider-complete. --tvdb reads its
+#    `api_key=` line from ~/.config/secrets/tvdb, never argv. Both write the SAME
+#    cache file, so the plan is reproducible offline afterwards: run it once to
+#    fill the cache, and quote the second run.
+#    Paths are only strings to a dry run, so this step can run on the workstation
+#    against scp'd TSVs — which is where the two provider secrets live.
+python3 scripts/media-shows.py --root /mnt/entropy/TVShows --enum /tmp/tv_enum.tsv \

+
+Evidence, strongest first — the order the planner believes things:
+
+- the **episode marker the file's own name states** (`S01E02-E03`, `1x04`); a digit
+  run longer than three at that position is NOT a number — `S03E2019` and
+  `S04E47370355` are one box set's airdate fragment and pack index — so such a file
+  is renumbered by tvdb's title or parks, and is never truncated down to fit;
+- the **`Season NN` folder it sits in and the number its name leads with inside
+  it**: `Season 19/01 Charles Barkley, Nirvana.avi` is S19E01;
+- the **provider row**: which episode the file IS, and the numbering of a file
+  whose own name says nothing;
+- the **row's tvdb id, else its TMDb id carried through TMDb's external ids, else
+  an exact tvdb name search**: that id names the SERIES FOLDER and supplies the
+  episode title, because a name the server read off a folder is not a show name.
+  The folder CARRIES the id: `[tvdbid-NNNN]` is what Jellyfin's Tvdb agent and
+  Plex's scanner both read, so a show whose title is ambiguous resolves by number
+  instead of by a human guessing which folder is which. The id rides the folder
+  only — a file name gets 180 characters and the episode title needs the room.
+- a **bonus folder** anywhere above the file, or Jellyfin's `ExtraType` → the
+  series' canonical extra folder;
+- a runtime over `SHORT_MAX` makes it film-shaped, and it leaves for `--movies` only
+  when the movie provider's title is a run of words the FILE itself states and its
+  year agrees with the file's: the query is only what `title_of` salvaged from a
+  release name, and the first hit for a short one is a near miss — a 1963 Bond film
+  for the word "russia", *Special Edition I* for a file saying *Edition III*. Else it
+  parks.
+
+Four refusals carry the design: what the planner will NOT do is the point of it.
+
+- **Folders resolve a series; they never invent one.** A folder's words may
+  resolve a file to a series a provider has already named — `(CBB) Tengen Toppa
+  Gurren Lagann - The Complete Series (BD 1080p)` names the registered *Tengen
+  Toppa Gurren Lagann* — but a bonus subfolder is not a show. An early run made
+  `…/03. Extra/01. NCOP/NCOP 01.mkv` into a root series called `01 NCOP`.
+- **A scraped row does not outrank the filesystem.** Jellyfin numbers
+  multi-season packs badly: every file under `SNL 16-20/Season 16..19` carries
+  season 16 episode 20, and one Gundam row says season 2004. The folder, then
+  the file's own leading number, win.
+- **A season that is a YEAR is the date matcher, not a season.** Jellyfin files
+  specials by airdate, so a row can arrive saying `season 2002`; that is not a
+  season and it never becomes a folder. The one authority on such a row is tvdb's
+  episode list read backwards: the title the row carries names the (season,
+  episode) tvdb gives it. A title tvdb gives to two episodes names nothing, and
+  the file parks with the reason it always carried. `Season 00` IS a legal
+  season — specials live there — so a row that really says 0 files there instead
+  of parking.
+- **A season tvdb's own list contradicts gets no tvdb title.** An anime pack
+  numbered by its release group books `S05E01` in a season tvdb does not hold, or
+  books more episodes there than tvdb lists: the slot its number points at is a
+  different episode, and dressing it in that episode's title is a confident lie.
+  The file still renames to the standard shape; the title does not ride, and the
+  series is listed under *seasons whose numbering tvdb contradicts* in the
+  exceptions. A season holding FEWER files than tvdb lists stays plausible — a
+  partial pack is the normal shape. Neither reading holds for a list tvdb
+  cut off at its own page limit: the default episode query answers at most
+  500 rows and states no total, and One Piece, Crayon Shin-chan and
+  Detective Conan each answer exactly 500 while holding over a thousand —
+  a page bounds nothing above itself, so it contradicts nothing.
+
+**A provider name is evidence only when an id backs it.** Jellyfin names a Series
+after the folder it scanned, so a library filed by release folders ends up with
+one Series item per box set — `24 (2001) Season 1`, `Modern Family S05` — and
+copying those names verbatim launders folder junk into the contract. The planner
+resolves each series to its tvdb id and writes tvdb's name and year; the merged
+identity is also what turns a box set split across five release folders into ONE
+folder, and what makes two files claiming one episode MEET in the duplicate rule.
+A series no id resolves keeps the provider's words and is listed under *no tvdb
+identity* in the exceptions — that list, not a rename, is the review.
+
+**The review pile lives outside the library.** Files parked inside
+`/mnt/entropy/TVShows` were indexed as one show named `_unsorted`, and that
+show's rows then looked like evidence. So a row whose series is the hidden
+top-level folder the file itself sits in is dropped — and the folder is matched
+with its leading underscore stripped, because the server *displays* `_unsorted` as
+`unsorted`: compare the spelled names and the pile survives the relayout as a
+visible series folder that real files get renamed into. `--park` outside the root
+makes the next plan re-file the pile instead of skipping it. Inside a hidden
+top-level folder a file's own words may MATCH a registered show, never invent one.
+
+**The operator's id map is the door for a name tvdb cannot be searched by.**
+`scripts/media-shows.py` reads `scripts/media-shows-tvdb-ids.tsv` by default: one
+line per pack folder, `folder <TAB> tvdb id <TAB> note`. The file exists because
+tvdb titles a record in the show's own language and the English name rides in
+*aliases* the name search never reads: `ブラッククローバー` (331753) answers to no
+spelling of "Black Clover", and the bare alias `One Piece` belongs to 392276, the
+2023 live action, not to the 1999 record (81797) the pack here is. The map
+outranks a provider id — a box set's provider id is the server's own guess at a
+folder name — and it merges the release folders that are one show. Everything it
+touched is written to the exceptions: every folder it named, every row that
+matched no folder, every disagreement with a provider id, every id tvdb never
+answered. A line whose id is not a number stops the plan, because a typo renames
+a whole pack to the wrong show. Only folders the search CANNOT reach belong in
+it; a row for a folder the search would resolve hides a live lookup behind a
+number nobody re-checks.
+
+`scripts/media-shows-tvdb.py` makes the sheet the map is built from. It reads a
+plan's `mkdir` rows, asks tvdb about every destination folder carrying no
+`[tvdbid-`, and writes one row per folder with the verdict that says how much was
+guessed to get there: `EXACT` (tvdb's own spelling), `PUNCT` (equal only after
+release junk is stripped from the folder's words), `NEAR` (tvdb answered
+something else — the best hit is printed for a human and nothing applies it),
+`NONE`. Acceptance never moved across the passes that built this: a hit counts
+only when tvdb's name equals the query with every non-alphanumeric dropped from
+both sides, and the record's year still has to fall inside any year span the
+folder names. That gate is what caught three confident picks — Fairy Tail's 2024
+sequel (410031), the 2026 Hokuto no Ken remake (465216) and `Mugyutto! Black
+Clover` (378762) offered for Black Clover. It is why the map is approved by hand
+and the sheet is never fed to the planner.
+
+**A parked folder merges into the row that owns the show.** The folder that never
+got an id usually holds episodes the identified folder for that show lacks, and
+the server shows the audience neither: the parked copy is invisible and the owner
+reads as a short series. One `media-apply.py` plan per show, built from the
+server's own rows:
+
+- the **owner is the folder whose `Series` row carries the tvdb id**; the parked
+  side is the folder with the same words and no id (or the same id under a second
+  row — see the law below);
+- the **comparison is episode identity, not filename**: which (season, episode)
+  the provider row gives each file, read straight out of the server. Release
+  folders renumber — one park carried `S01E01-11` of a show tvdb books as seasons
+  2 and 3, and every episode runs the same eleven minutes, so neither the marker
+  nor the duration says what one query into the rows says;
+- **a season the owner has no file in moves whole**: `mkdir` the `Season NN`,
+  then one row per file with its name unchanged — the folder shape is the
+  contract, the file name is not;
+- **a subtitle pack is re-keyed, never just moved**: a sidecar attaches only when
+  its stem equals the video's, so each `.srt` has to land on the OWNER's stem with
+  the language suffix kept (`… - The Cat and the Claw (1).en.srt`). Moved under
+  its release-group name it stays a folder of 88 subtitles no player ever offers;
+- **the same episode on both sides is the operator's call**, never a plan row:
+  which copy survives is a quality judgment — the parked copy is usually the
+  bigger one, and a re-cut is not a worse one — and the parked file often carries
+  no title to align by. Those pairs are listed and left alone.
+
+The two sides speak different path dialects, since the server records the
+container coordinate ([[Jellyfin]]) and the journal speaks the array; a join that
+forgets the translation returns zero rows and looks like an empty library.
+
+## Laws of this arm
+
+- **A folder that names two series is not evidence of two series — the files
+  answer.** `ffprobe -show_entries format_tag=title` names the series each file
+  belongs to. Measured 2026-11-02 on `COW and CHICKEN … Complete Animated TV
+  Series`, a bundle whose name pairs *Cow and Chicken* with *I Am Weasel*: 103
+  of 104 files carry a `Cow and Chicken - SxxEyy - <title>` tag and none carries
+  an *I Am Weasel* one. The 7-minute duration class is a half-episode segment,
+  not a second show, and a file holding both segments needs a remux, which this
+  executor will never do. Split only when the tags (or a provider episode list)
+  name both series per file; everything else is a rename.
+- **When the numbering is right and only the name is wrong, rename the folder
+  and nothing else.** Tags whose `Sxx` matches the `Season NN` folder holding
+  them, per-season counts equal, and no duplicate `SxxEyy` key anywhere prove
+  the layout is already correct. Renumbering files under that evidence buys
+  nothing and can silently mislabel an episode.
+- **One tvdb id can carry two `Series` rows, so the id-less folder list proves
+  nothing about a merge.** A parked folder whose words parse to a registered show
+  gets identified on its own and keeps its own folder: the count of id-less
+  folders drops, and the library now offers the same show twice. Prove a merge by
+  the episode rows standing under the owner folder, never by that list.
+- **Move library files only while `Scan Media Library` is Idle.** A rename that
+  lands under a running scan is a row the server read a moment ago pointing at a
+  path that no longer exists. `ScheduledTasks` is the read ([[Jellyfin]]); wait
+  for a `Running` sighting and then two consecutive `Idle` polls, because a gap
+  between sub-tasks reads as finished.

+
+## Guard a new vhost
+
+Order is the whole procedure: the IdP row has to exist **before** the route flips, or
+authenticated traffic reaches the outpost with no matching provider and the user gets
+authentik's error page instead of the app.
+
+1. **Provider first.** A proxy provider plus an application, claimed by the embedded
+   outpost. No blueprint owns this state — it lives only in the IdP's database, which is
+   why it is easy to forget:
+
+   ```
+   ssh dankclaw 'podman exec -i authentik-server ak shell' <<'PY'
+   from authentik.providers.proxy.models import ProxyProvider
+   from authentik.core.models import Application
+   from authentik.outposts.models import Outpost
+   NAME, EXT = "example", "https://example.franksdank.cloud/"
+   pp = ProxyProvider.objects.filter(name=f"{NAME}-proxy").first()
+   if pp is None:
+       pp = ProxyProvider.objects.create(name=f"{NAME}-proxy", external_host=EXT,
+                                         internal_host="http://caddy:8017")
+   if not Application.objects.filter(provider=pp).exists():
+       Application.objects.create(name=f"{NAME.title()} Guard", slug=f"{NAME}-guard",
+                                  provider=pp)
+   o = Outpost.objects.get(managed="goauthentik.io/outposts/embedded")
+   o.providers.add(pp)   # an unclaimed provider is invisible to the outpost
+   print(pp.name, pp.external_host, o.providers.count())
+   PY
+   ```
+
+   `external_host` is the exact vhost URL **with the trailing slash**: the embedded
+   outpost routes on the ORIGINAL `Host` header alone, so anything else matches zero
+   providers. Never print a provider's fields wholesale — a proxy provider carries a
+   client secret, and it lands in whatever transcript the command runs in.
+
+   `ProxyProvider.objects.create()` is not the API: the serializer's
+   `set_oauth_defaults()` never runs, so the row lands with `redirect_uris` and
+   `grant_types` empty, and the guard fails *before* any credential — authentik's
+   "Redirect URI Error" page, then a bodiless HTTP 400 once the URIs are filled
+   by hand. Run `scripts/authentik-proxy-provider-defaults.sh` after the snippet
+   (idempotent, covers every provider; `--check` is the census); law and failure
+   signatures in [[Authentik Outpost Reference]].
+2. **Then the route.** The public site block proxies the whole request to `anubis:8923`
+   with `header_up X-Real-Ip {remote_host}`, and the post-auth `http://:8017` listener
+   gains a `@<name> host <vhost>` handler pointing at the app — copy `romm`/`files`,
+   which are the same shape including a Dankserver LAN-port upstream.
+   An app that derives its own origin from the request needs the scheme pinned:
+   Audiobookshelf checks every OIDC callback against `x-forwarded-proto://Host`; this
+   listener is fed over plain http so Caddy's own `X-Forwarded-Proto` is `http`, and the
+   app answers a 400 "Invalid callback URL - must be same-origin" for its own https
+   callback (measured 2026-11-03, while this vhost was still guarded — it is exempt
+   now, and the same pin sits on its edge block instead).
+   The edge for a guarded name is TLS-only, so `header_up X-Forwarded-Proto
+   https` is the truthful value ([[Audiobookshelf]]).
+3. **Then the name and the audit.** A `dankclaw/pihole/addn-hosts` line (the `pihole`
+   seam fails the build if a Caddyfile vhost has no record), a Porkbun A record if the
+   name must resolve off-LAN ([[LAN-DNS]]), and the subdomain added to `GUARDED` in
+   `tests/e2e/specs/14-guard.spec.ts` with an app-specific leak marker — that spec is
+   the deploy gate's proof that the guard, not the app, answers an anonymous client.
+
+## Unguard a vhost
+
+The same three artifacts, in the opposite order. Getting it wrong takes the app
+down for browsers while looking healthy:
+
+1. **Route first.** Move the public site block off `anubis:8923` to a direct
+   `reverse_proxy` (keeping any origin-pinning `header_up` the app needs), delete
+   the `@<name>` handler from the `http://:8017` listener, and deploy. Traffic
+   stops entering the auth listener at `:8016`, so the IdP row goes unused — and
+   nothing breaks.
+2. **Then the IdP rows**, once the route is verified:
+
+   ```
+   ssh dankclaw 'podman exec -i authentik-server ak shell' <<'PY'
+   from authentik.providers.proxy.models import ProxyProvider
+   from authentik.outposts.models import Outpost
+   pp = ProxyProvider.objects.filter(name="audiobooks-proxy").first()
+   if pp:
+       o = Outpost.objects.get(managed="goauthentik.io/outposts/embedded")
+       o.providers.remove(pp)
+       app = pp.application          # the "<Name> Guard" application row
+       if app:
+           app.delete()
+       pp.delete()
+   print("providers now claimed:", Outpost.objects.get(
+       managed="goauthentik.io/outposts/embedded").providers.count())
+   PY
+   ```
+
+   Deleting the provider **before** the route flips is the wrong order: the
+   outpost then matches zero providers for a Host that still arrives, and every
+   browser gets authentik's error page instead of the app.
+3. **Then the audit lists.** Drop the subdomain from `GUARDED` in
+   `tests/e2e/specs/14-guard.spec.ts` (and its leak marker), and replace it
+   there with an exemption assertion — the deploy gate must keep proving the
+   exemption is deliberate, the way `plex` does: app bytes to an anonymous
+   client, zero challenge HTML, and the app's own `401` on an unauthenticated
+   API call rather than the gate's `200`.
+
+What the exemption costs, said plainly: the app's login endpoint becomes
+internet-visible with no rate limiter in front of it unless the edge carries one
+(this Caddy build has no `rate_limit` module) or the app ships a lockout (ABS
+2.37.2 does not). That is the same exposure `jelly.`, `plex.` and the *arr
+vhosts already live with; the mitigation is the credentials.
