feat(media): dedupe + relayout campaign tools for Audiobooks and eBooks

media-ab-reorg.py: planner for the ABS layout {Author}/{Series}/{Seq -
Year - Title {Narrator}} — claims one book folder per DB item (tracks
of duplicate recordings must not interleave), gates any book folder
that would nest above another (ABS's swallow defect), routes comic and
ebook-only items to intake, holds dedup losers under the campaign dir.
media-ab-verifydups.py: full-blake2b confirmation of size+head/tail
collision survivors. media-ebook-dedupe.py: dedupe the eBooks pile
against the Calibre library (identity key title-core+first-surname,
OPF metadata authority) and emit the calibredb ingest list.
abs-post-reorg.py: server-side ABS driver (cover export, DB-row wipe —
never hard=1 — scan, status) with credentials out of argv.

+Every Caddy-proxied service is in exactly one of three postures: behind the
+auth chain (Anubis :8923 → Authentik embedded outpost), **exempt by
+construction** because it authenticates itself (`auth.`, git smart-HTTP, Gitea,
+OpenWebUI, Jellyfin, Plex, Audiobookshelf, the *arr stack), or internal-only —
+served to nobody off-LAN. New services default to internal-only until guarded.
+
+**Internal-only is a source gate, not a missing DNS record.** Caddy answers
+every Host it knows, and its per-name certificates are published in Certificate
+Transparency logs, so a name with no Porkbun A record is still in a stranger's
+reach (`crt.sh` lists it). A household-only service therefore carries an edge
+gate — `@lan remote_ip 127.0.0.1/32 ::1/128 192.168.0.0/16 10.0.0.0/8
+172.16.0.0/12`, `handle @lan { reverse_proxy … }`, `handle { respond 404 }` —
+which is what the *arr stack and qBittorrent carry (2026-11-04: Frank's law,
+"never leaving the home boxes"). A future household-only vhost gets the same
+block, not merely an absent record.
+
+The guard chain is a **browser-only device**: Anubis demands a JavaScript
+proof-of-work and the outpost works from a session cookie, so any non-browser
+client — a native app, a podcast RSS reader, an OPDS client, `git`, a
+service-to-service call — is answered with challenge HTML where it expected
+JSON or a socket payload. A service that must serve such a client cannot sit
+behind the chain; it has to own its authentication.

+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# 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.

+"""media-ab-reorg.py — plan the Audiobooks dedupe + ABS-structure relayout.
+
+2026-11-04 campaign. Turns the Audiobooks library into the layout Audiobookshelf
+documents (https://audiobookshelf.org/docs/documentation/libraries/book-library/
+directory-structure/):
+
+    {Author}/[{Series}/]{seq} - {year} - {Title} {Narrator}/…files…
+
+The authority for every book's author/series/title/year/narrator is the ABS
+database dump (--items, JSON lines: [relPath, isMissing, title, authors, series,
+seq, year, narratorsJSON, coverPath, ebookFlag]); files are attached to their
+book by longest-prefix match on the item's relPath, which is how ABS's own
+grouping works. Folder names are then re-emitted so ABS's folder parser reads
+the same metadata back off disk.
+
+Three outputs, all consumable by scripts/media-apply.py (run everything with
+--root /mnt/entropy; hold/intake/park live outside the library on purpose):
+
+  --plan        mkdir/keep/move rows: dedupe losers -> --hold, ebook-only items
+                and comics -> --intake (the eBooks pile feeds Calibre next),
+                unowned media -> --park, everything else -> the new layout.
+  --covers      rows "srchost \\t dstarray": covers ABS keeps in /metadata get a
+                copy beside the book (cp, it crosses filesystems); run this
+                BEFORE apply so the cover lands inside the moved folder.
+  --exceptions  every judgement call: name collisions, byte-dups that pair two
+                different books, collapsed items, stray files.
+
+Dedupe law: only CONFIRMED byte-identities (--dups from
+media-ab-verifydups.py) remove a file. One copy survives per book: inside a
+folder the cleanest-named file wins; across folders the item whose root matches
+its author wins. Equal bytes under two different book identities keep both and
+raise an exception — a trailer embedded in two books is not a duplicate.
+
+Rerunnable: a second run against a moved library emits keep rows, not moves.

+
+Stage 2 of the 2026-11-04 Audiobooks dedupe. Stage 1 (partial blake2b of the
+first+last 4 MiB, done by the campaign's hashcand.py) over-claims: two files
+of equal size and equal head+tail are CANDIDATES, not copies. This tool takes
+the candidate files from --partial (rows: size, hash, path), groups them by
+(size, partial-hash), full-hashes only members of groups with 2+ members, and
+writes verdicts: one line per file whose full hash ties it to at least one
+other file.
+
+Output rows: full-hash <TAB> size <TAB> path   (sorted by hash) — a hash that
+appears once is not written at all; singletons are not duplicates.
+
+Read-only. Never moves, never deletes. Run it after the partial pass finishes
+(pgrep it first; two hashers on one output file have raced before).

+"""media-ebook-dedupe.py — dedupe the eBooks pile against the Calibre library.
+
+2026-11-04 campaign, ebook side. The Calibre library (/mnt/entropy/CalibreBooks,
+6,289 books) is DB-owned and healthy; /mnt/entropy/eBooks is a raw pile whose
+best books already live in the library, several of them twice in the pile.
+Audiobooks' orphaned ebooks/comics land in the pile first (media-ab-reorg's
+intake), so this campaign runs after the audiobook move.
+
+Inputs
+  --meta      ebook-meta.tsv: JSON lines {p, sz, title, authors, ident} for
+              epub (embedded OPF) and mobi/azw3 (Palm header title); the
+              producer is the campaign's opfcensus.py.
+  --enum      enum TSV (size, ext, path) for every tree.
+  --calibre   calibre-books.tsv: JSON lines [id, title, authors, series, path,
+              pubdate, formats] dumped from metadata.db.
+  --dups      full blake2b verdicts (hash, size, path) — only confirmed
+              byte-identities remove a file. Optional: without it, identity
+              rules alone run and every hash-dependent pair stays a KEEP.
+
+Outputs
+  --plan      media-apply plan (--root /mnt/entropy): hash-duplicates of a
+              file already in CalibreBooks -> HOLD; byte-identical files inside
+              the pile keep the best format of one book once; non-book junk
+              (mp4/mp3/images) -> PARK.
+  --ingest    one JSON line per surviving BOOK (a set of format files of one
+              identity): {paths, title, authors, source}. The ingest runner
+              feeds these to calibredb inside the calibre-web image.
+  --exceptions every identity pair the file-level evidence could not settle.
+
+Match law: identity is (core title, first author surname). Calibre's
+"Dinniman| Matt" and an OPF "Matt Dinniman" share surname "dinniman". Title
+core drops the leading article and all non-alphanumerics. Identity alone NEVER
+deletes against the pile — it only deletes when the same identity sits in the
+Calibre library with the same format (the pile copy adds nothing), or when a
+byte-hash confirms the pair. Format preference when the pile holds one book in
+several copies: epub > azw3 > mobi > pdf > fb2 > lit > rtf > txt.

+    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` (the trigger's epoch — a file mtime is already passed by an earlier scan) 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.

+#     "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 — which makes it a census of the last RECORDED scan, never a waiter: PMS
+# stamps that epoch when it accepts the request, so the door answers `settled` in the
+# same second its own `trigger` ran (measured 2026-11-04; no epoch survives it).
+# `trigger` answering 000 means PMS is still warming — retry, never

+"""media-tvdupes.py — find duplicate TV episodes and plan their staging, one
+EPISODE at a time.
+
+A TV library grows the same show into several folders: a tagged season box, an
+untagged packager drop, a `Complete` folder that is not complete. The folders
+look like copies of each other and are not, so the unit of comparison is the
+episode and never the folder. A file is droppable only when EVERY episode it
+carries is also held, somewhere else in the same show, by a file at least as
+large — Frank's rule: the same episode in two places keeps the larger one. A
+file that holds one episode nothing else has stays, whatever else it carries.
+
+It writes a plan and moves nothing; `scripts/media-apply.py` is the only thing
+that renames. The plan stages into a dated hold, so the pass is undoable from
+the journal and frees no space until the hold is purged.

+
+Then both servers have to be told: the plan moves files on the raw array, and no
+watcher crosses the metadata view — [[Media Relayout]] owns the refresh order.
+
+Guards, and why each one is here:
+
+* **Identity before geometry.** Two folders holding the same words are not the
+  same show: the 2026-11-02 census found `Avatar: The Last Airbender` (1999,
+  tvdb 74852) beside the 2024 remake (385925), `Star Trek: Voyager` beside
+  `Star Trek: The Animated Series`, and a German thriller Jellyfin had titled
+  `Millennium (2022) [tvdbid-472933]` beside `Millennium (1996)`. A folder's
+  identity is read from three places, in this order: its `[tvdbid-N]` tag, the
+  `tvshow.nfo` Jellyfin wrote — which lives in the metadata view, not on the
+  array, and is what `--meta` reads — and a `folder<TAB>id` map passed with
+  `--ids`. The tag outranks the derived layers: an id that contradicts a folder's
+  own tag is reported and ignored, never unioned — measured 2026-11-02, Jellyfin's
+  provider table carried a 2026 special's id on a folder tagged `[tvdbid-73838]`,
+  and unioning them makes one show of the 2000 series and the special, whose bigger
+  files then dominate the original's pilot. Two folders are one show when they share
+  an id, or when neither has one and name and year both agree. Two disjoint id sets
+  is an absolute stop: the pair is reported as a conflict and nothing under either is
+  staged. Same name with nothing to decide on is reported unresolved — the fix is the
+  tag, not a guess.
+* **A folder-level verdict destroys content.** 10 of the 25 shows that looked
+  duplicated held COMPLEMENTARY halves: `Game of Thrones Complete` carries no
+  S01 and no S08, `Modern Family S05` is the only copy of season 5, `Loiter
+  Squad Uncensored` is the only copy of season 1. Judged per folder, 20 shows
+  and some 340 GB of unique episodes would have been staged; judged per episode
+  the true figure was a sixth of that.
+* **A bare number is never an episode.** `256491.mp4` may be an episode id, a
+  poster, or a season, so a name that states no `SxxEyy` / `1x04` marker is
+  unkeyed: never staged, and counted in the report. A media server's own episode
+  table does know those files — pass it with `--witness` and its rows key
+  whatever the server has matched.
+* **The audit re-reads the disk.** Sizes and the survivor's existence are
+  checked again when the plan is written, because the census is a snapshot: a
+  file that grew, vanished, or landed in the hold in between must fail the plan,
+  not surprise the executor.
+* **A sidecar that shares an episode's stem follows it.** Subtitles and `.nfo`
+  left at the old coordinates are ghost bait for `media-view.sh reap`.
+* A multi-episode file (`S01E01-02`) is dominated only when every episode in its
+  range is held elsewhere — and it competes for the survivor seat on each of
+  them, because the byte law compares files. A pack that states its range in
+  the name is a name both media servers parse the same way, so the pack winning
+  against two single-episode rips is the law applied, not a misread.

+**The default model is `ui.default_models`** — one row of the config table, a
+comma-separated **string**, not a list. Live value `frank-archon` since
+2026-11-04 (per Frank). The front end resolves the picker as *the browser's own

+a fresh profile or a cleared-storage session lands on; after a user picks
+something themselves, their pick keeps winning. Verified 2026-11-04 in a clean
+browser: signed in with `localStorage` empty → the pill reads

+Two admin-token doors, both driven against loopback `:3005` — service-to-service

+  (no `PATCH /configs/{key}` route exists in 0.12.5; verified against
+  `routers/` + `main.py`), and it returns the whole config so the write reads
+  back in the same call.
+- **A model row:** `POST /api/v1/models/model/update` with a full `ModelForm`
+  (`id`, `name`, `meta`, `params`, `is_active`). **`meta` and `params` REPLACE,
+  they do not merge:** read the row first, change one field, send everything
+  back — a partial payload silently drops `meta.capabilities` and the
+  profile/background images.
+
+**An API key is not accepted everywhere.** Routes guarded by `get_human_user`
+(`/api/v1/auths/`, `utils/auth.py`) answer **403 `A human session is required.`**
+for any token whose `typ` is not `session` — that is not a dead key. The two
+mutation doors above take `get_admin_user` / `get_verified_user`, which do accept
+the key. Prove a key on `GET /api/v1/models` with **no trailing slash**:

+that browser's own storage — a probe-depth bug. The row carried the override
+the whole way; the 2026-10-30 pin bump to 0.12.5 moved the keys, not the bug.
+The SPA reads that row at load (`GET /api/v1/users/user/settings`) and posts

+identifiers, `user` and `group` are reserved words — there is no `sqlite3` CLI
+in the image or on the host), then reload every tab of that account.
+
+**Repair the engine *and* the voice.** With engine `""` the front end still

+**Host:** Dankserver — **Unit:** `audiobookshelf.service` (rootless Quadlet, user manager) —
+**Doors:** LAN `http://192.168.0.235:8000/audiobookshelf` (plain HTTP, nothing in front) and public `https://audiobooks.franksdank.cloud/audiobookshelf/` — Caddy straight to the container, **exempt from the guard chain** because the app must answer non-browser clients ([[Caddy]] *Unguard a vhost*). The public name is the address every client carries: Pi-hole answers it with `192.168.0.143` on the LAN, Porkbun answers it with the WAN address outside, and Caddy serves a real certificate either way.
+
+## Shape
+
+| Item | Value |
+|------|-------|
+| Unit file | `dankserver/audiobookshelf/quadlet/audiobookshelf.container` (the authority for every number here) |
+| Image | `ghcr.io/advplyr/audiobookshelf` pinned by **amd64 manifest digest** — see Laws |
+| Port | `Environment=PORT=8000` + `PublishPort=8000:8000` — web UI and API on one port |
+| Base path | `Environment=ROUTER_BASE_PATH=/audiobookshelf` — every URL below carries this prefix, and the shipped SPA cannot boot without it (Laws) |
+| Network | `pasta` (standalone; publishes nothing to other containers) |
+| Audio bind | `/mnt/entropy/Audiobooks:/audiobooks:ro` — read-only, by design |
+| State | `/home/dank/Containers/audiobookshelf/config` → `/config`, `…/metadata` → `/metadata` (both NVMe) |
+| Mount gate | `ExecStartPre=…/wait-for-mount.sh /mnt/entropy` |
+| Health | `wget` against `/healthcheck` inside the container, 30 s / 3 retries |
+| I/O share | `IOWeight=10` — a scan loses the array to every other tenant |
+| Self-healing | `Restart=always`, `RestartSec=5`, `WantedBy=default.target` |
+| Deploy | `./scripts/deploy.sh dankserver --service audiobookshelf` |
+| Handler | `deploy_audiobookshelf` in `scripts/deploy-remote.sh` |
+| Single sign-on | authentik provider `audiobookshelf`; the local `frank` account stays enabled as break-glass — see *Single sign-on* |
+| Library layout | one book per folder — ABS groups by the first directory holding a media file (see Laws); every move is journalled at `/mnt/entropy/.media-campaign/media-relayout-audiobooks.jsonl` |
+
+## Bootstrap
+
+`scripts/audiobookshelf-init.sh` — run by the deployer after the health gate, so a
+deployed ABS is a *usable* ABS: `/healthcheck` answers 200 on a server with no
+user, no library and no scan, and nothing else in the deploy notices the
+difference. The script is idempotent; re-running it costs one incremental scan.
+
+| Step | Door | Printed |
+|------|------|---------|
+| credential | `~/.config/secrets/audiobookshelf` (mode 600, generated once, host-side) | `credential: created …` |
+| account | `POST /init` with `{"newRoot":{"username","password"}}` | `account: created (frank)` / `already registered` |
+| session | `POST /login` → bearer token | `token: obtained (root)` |
+| library | `POST /api/libraries`, folder `/audiobooks`, provider `audiobook` | `library: created Audiobooks (<id>)` / `exists` |
+| scan | `POST /api/libraries/<id>/scan` | `scan: accepted` |
+| proof | `GET /api/libraries/<id>/items?limit=1` | `items: <total>` |
+
+Sign in at `http://192.168.0.235:8000/audiobookshelf` as `frank`; the password is
+`awk -F= '/^ABS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=/{print $2}' ~/.config/secrets/audiobookshelf` on
+Dankserver. Change it in **Settings → Users → frank → Password**; the secret file
+then holds a stale value and only matters again if the `config` bind is ever
+destroyed (a fresh DB makes the script create a new owner from it).
+
+That value is the live password, not a leftover: it bcrypt-matches `users.pash` in the state
+DB (2026-11-03), so `local` does open the door when authentik is down.
+
+A full scan is slow and runs in the background; watch the `items:` total climb,
+never `/healthcheck`. It also reads files that are genuinely broken and logs
+`[AudioFileScanner] Invalid data found when processing input` per file — that is
+the file, not the bind: the same line count grows while the total climbs.
+
+## Phone app
+
+The official **Audiobookshelf** app connects with Server Address
+`https://audiobooks.franksdank.cloud/audiobookshelf` — the base path belongs in the address —
+username `frank`, and the same password as the web UI, or the SSO button. One address works
+at home and away: on the LAN Pi-hole answers that name with `192.168.0.143` and Caddy dials
+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.
+
+## Laws
+
+- **Speak the image's env names, not the README's.** The server reads `PORT`,
+  `CONFIG_PATH`, `METADATA_PATH` and `ROUTER_BASE_PATH`; the `ABS_*` family printed
+  by the server's own README is the npm package's naming and is **inert** in this
+  image. Measured 2026-11-02 on the first deploy: with `ABS_PORT=8000` the server
+  listened on `:80` under base path `/audiobookshelf`, so `systemctl` said
+  `active (running)` while every probe of `:8000` was refused and the deploy gate
+  failed at 180 s. Two seconds with the pinned digest settles it:
+  `podman inspect --format '{{.Config.Env}}' <image>`.
+- **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
+  for its assets under that prefix whatever the server is mounted at. Mounted at `/`, every
+  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
+  `admin` claim is allowed, root plus `user` is denied) or pick a non-colliding IdP name. Read
+  off `server/models/User.js` and `server/auth/OidcAuthStrategy.js` in the pinned digest
+  (2026-11-02).
+- **The audio bind stays `:ro`.** ABS writes nothing that belongs beside the
+  audio: its library, covers, progress and sidecar metadata all land in
+  `/metadata` on the SSD. A writable bind would put stray writes on the spindle
+  and hand the array to a service with no reason to hold it. If per-book
+  `.opf`/`.nfo` sidecars on disk are ever wanted, the rollback is one line —
+  point the audio bind at the [[Media Metadata View]] the media servers already
+  use — but that view's upper layer exists for those two servers' sidecars, so a
+  third writer needs a reason first ([[Media Metadata View]]).
+- **Do not bind the raw array without the mount gate.** In a rootless unit
+  `ConditionPathIsMountPoint=` is fail-*dead* and `RequiresMountsFor=` is inert,
+  so a missing array does not stop the start: podman invents an empty directory,
+  ABS indexes it, and an empty library becomes recorded truth. `wait-for-mount.sh`
+  is the only gate that works here — same law the media servers obey
+  ([[Quadlet Lifecycle]]).
+- **The `HealthCmd` must use `wget`.** The image is Alpine and ships `wget`, not
+  `curl`; a `curl` health command reads a perfectly healthy server as unhealthy
+  and `Restart=always` turns that into a loop.
+- **The image pin is the amd64 manifest digest, not the index digest.**
+  `podman inspect` reports the platform manifest (`RepoDigests[0]`) for what was
+  pulled, which differs from the manifest-list digest `latest` points at. Pin the
+  one this host runs. `latest` is newer than the newest version tag: upstream
+  stopped publishing version tags after `2.19.0` while `latest` kept moving, so
+  "highest version tag" is stale here — read the index, don't guess from tags.
+- **`IOWeight=10` is inert without the host drop-ins.** `dankserver/host/systemd/`
+  carries `user.slice.d/io-accounting.conf` and the `user@1000` delegate, and the
+  deployer installs both; without them systemd silently drops the weight
+  ([[Quadlet Lifecycle]]).
+- **No `systemctl --user enable`.** Generated Quadlet units cannot be enabled on
+  this host; `WantedBy=default.target` in the unit file is what carries the
+  service across a reboot ([[Quadlet Lifecycle]]).
+- **One door for every client, and it sits outside the guard chain on purpose.**
+  `https://audiobooks.franksdank.cloud/audiobookshelf` is what browsers and apps use;
+  `http://192.168.0.235:8000/audiobookshelf` is the raw LAN socket that same Caddy dials,
+  so it doubles as break-glass when the proxy is down. Behind the chain (until
+  2026-11-03) the vhost answered the phone app's `/ping` and `/socket.io/` handshake with
+  Anubis' challenge HTML — Anubis demands a JavaScript proof and the outpost needs a
+  session cookie, and a native client solves neither — so the app evaluated
+  `'isInit' in e.data` on a non-object, reported "Failed to contact server", and the
+  container's request log never recorded the attempt. Podcast RSS and OPDS readers died
+  the same death. ABS's own auth is the gate, as it is for [[Plex]] and [[Jellyfin]]
+  ([[Caddy]] *Unguard a vhost*).
+- **There is no `/setup` route; the creation door is `POST /init`.** `/status`
+  (no `/api` prefix) reports `isInit` = "a root user exists", `POST /init` with
+  `{"newRoot":{"username","password"}}` creates it, `POST /login` returns the
+  bearer every `/api/*` route wants. `POST /setup` answers `Unauthorized` — that
+  is a missing route wearing an auth message. Read off `dist-server/server/Server.js`
+  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.
+
+## Verification
+
+`./tests/run.sh` covers this unit through `tests/dankserver_quadlet.bats`
+(boot persistence, the SSD state roots, the `:ro` array bind, the mount gate, the `wget`
+health check, the base path the shipped SPA needs), `tests/audiobookshelf_init.bats` (the
+bootstrapper against a stub of the API above: create-once, idempotent re-run, no secret in a
+URL, refusal by URL when the server does not answer, the deployer calling it only after the
+health gate, and the SSO arm sending the mounted base path as the redirect subfolder);
+`tests/media_overlay.bats` (only [[Plex]] and [[Jellyfin]] may reference the metadata view);
+and the live Playwright gates `tests/e2e/specs/23-audiobookshelf-sso.spec.ts` and
+`tests/e2e/specs/24-audiobookshelf-sso-default-listener.spec.ts`, run by `tests/e2e/run.sh` at
+the end of every `deploy.sh`. `23-` (the `admin` project) signs in as `qa-e2e-admin` against
+`http://192.168.0.235:8000/audiobookshelf` and asserts the two things no stub can see: every
+`.js` the app loads arrives as JavaScript (a bundle built for the wrong base path arrives as
+`text/html`, which boots nothing), and `/api/me` answers 200 with `type: "admin"` — true only
+while grant types, the OpenID scope mappings and the group claim all hold together. `24-` (the
+`standard` project) signs in as `qa-e2e`, an account in no Audiobookshelf group, and must come
+back `type: "user"`: the default grant that lets the household in, so a scope-mapping
+regression surfaces as a failed sign-in in the gate instead of as a friend's complaint.
+
+The public door is pinned by the guard audit `tests/e2e/specs/14-guard.spec.ts`, which now
+carries an **exemption** assertion where it used to carry a guarded one: an anonymous raw
+client must get the app's own `{"success":true}` on `/ping`, a machine-format socket

 Library folders point at `/data` paths: stable across container recreation and
 identical to the raw array layout below. Which side of that path the container
-is on is the open question on this host — the installed unit binds the read-only
-array, and `scripts/media-view.sh status` reports `NOT MOUNTED` (2026-10-31).
+sees is the [[Media Metadata View]] overlay, live since the 2026-10-31 cutover:
+`/var/lib/media-meta/view:/data`, read-write.
 
 `Local metadata` — save metadata to media folders — is enabled, and it is the
-reason the view exists: `movie.nfo`, `tvshow.nfo`, `episode.nfo` and artwork
-written once on the NVMe upper layer are files [[Plex]] can read too. While
-`/data` is bound read-only every item update logs the error below and no sidecar
-is written; Jellyfin becomes the fleet's only metadata writer with the deploy
-that raises the view.
+reason the view exists: `movie.nfo`, `tvshow.nfo` and `episode.nfo` written once
+on the NVMe upper layer are files [[Plex]] can read too — and since the
+2026-10-31 cutover that is what happens: Jellyfin is the fleet's only metadata
+writer, and every sidecar it saves is an SSD byte the array never sees.
+**Artwork is not one of those sidecars.** No image saver is bound for any
+library, so posters and fanart go to the internal store
+(`config/metadata/library/<xx>/<item-id>/poster.jpg`), which [[Plex]] never
+reads — movie art has never existed beside the media on either layer.
+
+**Library coverage is the first thing to check when a title is missing.** The
+four libraries are `movies → /data/Movies`, `tvshows → /data/TVShows`,
+`music → /data/Music`, `boxsets → /config/data/collections`
+(`GET /Library/VirtualFolders`). The review pile — `/data/NeedsProcessing`, the
+former `media-park`, drained into it 2026-11-02 — is in **none** of them, so
+everything filed there is invisible to Jellyfin by configuration,
+not by fault: a recursive refresh answers 204, burns CPU for minutes and
+indexes nothing, because it never looks there. Check coverage before re-scanning.
+
+**Which read proves an item is indexed: the folder view, never the recursive type
+list.** `GET /Items?IncludeItemTypes=Movie&Recursive=true` answered 2,101 items on
+2026-11-02 while `GET /Items?ParentId=<Movies ItemId>` listed 2,548 children — every
+folder on disk — and the eight folders the recursive read "lost" (three `Gundam 00
+Special Edition`, five `Sailor Moon Memorial`) each answer as `Type: Movie` through
+`SearchTerm` and sit in the folder listing. The two reads are not interchangeable, so
+the recursive list is a wrong instrument for "did the refresh index what I moved": its
+shortfall is grouping, not missing media, and acting on it starts a scan that fixes
+nothing. Verify per item — `ParentId` listing or `SearchTerm` — and use the recursive
+count only as a trend line.
 
 **Failure signature:** `System.IO.IOException: Read-only file system :
 '/data/Movies/<film>/movie.nfo'` means the container is binding the raw array
-instead of the view. On Dankserver that is today's expected state — the view has
-never been installed (`scripts/media-view.sh status`). Once it is deployed, the
-same line is a fault: the quadlet drifted or the mount died.
+instead of the view — always a fault on this host since the 2026-10-31 cutover.
+`scripts/media-view.sh status` says which: the quadlet drifted back to the raw
+array, or the mount died.
+
+**`EnableInternetProviders` false turns a library into a silent file index.**
+Every refresh answers `204`, stores nothing and logs nothing — no provider ids,
+no plot, no rating, no art — while the item count reads like a healthy scan. The
+switch lives in `config/root/default/<Library>/options.xml`, Jellyfin 12's name
+for the per-library option file: grepping for the old `library.xml` concludes "no
+per-library options exist", and the database holds none, so the trail dies there.
+Two more traps in the same file: `TypeOptions/ImageFetchers` is the *enabled* set,
+so an empty `<ImageFetchers />` switches art off while `ImageFetcherOrder` stays
+fully populated — order is not enablement — and the populated `<MetadataFetchers>`
+built next to it makes the library look healthy.
+
+**Live posture, measured 2026-11-02** from `GET /Library/VirtualFolders`, cross-checked
+against each library's `config/root/default/<Library>/options.xml`. The switches are NOT
+top-level DTO keys: the folder carries `Name`, `CollectionType`, `Locations`, `ItemId`,
+`PrimaryImageItemId`, `RefreshStatus` and `LibraryOptions`, and every per-library option
+sits inside `LibraryOptions`. Reading `EnableInternetProviders` off the folder itself
+answers `None` for all four — the camelCase trap one level deeper, and it looks exactly
+like an unconfigured library.
+
+| Library | `CollectionType` | `EnableInternetProviders` | `EnableRealtimeMonitor` |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `Movies` | movies | true (fixed 2026-11-02) | **false** |
+| `Shows` | tvshows | true (fixed 2026-11-02) | true |
+| `Music` | music | **false** | true |
+| `Collections` | boxsets | **false** | false |
+
+`Music` and `Collections` are silent file indexes in the sense above: a refresh answers
+`204`, stores nothing, logs nothing. Any metadata or artwork work on either one
+starts by flipping the switch, never by firing a scan. `Shows` sat in that set
+until 2026-11-02; the door is `POST /Library/VirtualFolders/LibraryOptions` with
+the library's own `ItemId` (below), and `scripts/jellyfin-providers.sh verify` is
+the one command that says which libraries are still in it.
+
+**The per-library option door on 12.x is `POST /Library/VirtualFolders/LibraryOptions`**
+— `GET` there answers `405`, which is how the route announces itself. The 10.x doors
+are gone: `/Library/VirtualFolders/Update` and `/Library/VirtualFolders/Refresh`
+answer `404` on this build, so every recipe naming them fails outright.
+
+**A library record can be a phantom.** A per-library option capture taken 2026-11-01
+carried seven entries — `Shows2`, `Shows3`, `Music2` among them, each with
+`Locations: []` and a live-looking `ItemId` — while `GET /Library/VirtualFolders` the
+same day listed four. A numeric suffix on a library name is what a deleted and
+recreated library leaves behind. The live set is the entries whose `Locations` are
+non-empty; count those and never the records.
+
+**`RemoteImages` is the call that separates a provider fault from a library
+fault.** `GET /Items/{id}/RemoteImages?Type=Primary` returns the provider's real
+poster list even with every automatic pass switched off — plugin, key and CDN all
+proven by that one response — so a refresh that stores nothing beside it is a
+library-switch problem, never a provider problem. It is also the delivery door:
+`POST /Items/{id}/RemoteImages/Download` saves the chosen image to the internal
+store on a build where the automatic image pass will not run at all — it is how
+the Movies library got its art: 2,515 of 2,564 films carry a primary now, and the
+rest have none in TMDb (shorts like `Astartes`, files whose names match nothing).
+
+**The Download door's exact wire shape:** the list response carries the address in
+`Url` — there is no `ImageUrl` field — and the POST takes camelCase query params,
+`?type=Primary&imageUrl=<Url>`, answering `204`; the stored tag then appears in
+`ImageTags`. PascalCase params, or an `imageUrl` left empty, answer `500`, which
+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`.

+scan never started, because a watcher that saw no `Running` would otherwise report

+"has the scan reached my moves" answer, read from the task's `EndTimeUtc` — and that
+timestamp only advances when a scan *finishes*, so the epoch must be one your trigger

 `204` is acceptance; anything else queued no scan, so re-issue the identical
 request instead of diagnosing. A `401` from a key that answers `200` on a
 hand-typed request is this block's quoting, not the server: bash `printf`
 collapses `\"` to `"`, curl ends the quoted value at that quote, and Jellyfin
 receives `Authorization: MediaBrowser Token=` with nothing after it (`\\"` answers

+sighting followed by two consecutive `Idle`s: sub-tasks leave gaps that a single
+poll reads as finished, and a census taken in one reports the pre-scan library.
+
+**The per-library `POST /Items/{id}/Refresh` queues nothing, and the provider
+switch is not the reason.** Measured twice on 2026-11-02 against `Shows`: before
+the flip and again after it, the call answered `204`, the journal wrote zero lines
+over the following ten minutes, and `Scan Media Library` kept its never-run
+signature; a service restart changes nothing. `POST /Library/Refresh` does run —
+`204`, then `Running` inside 15 s at 33 % CPU — but it walks every library, so on
+this build a library-scoped metadata pass has no working door and the global one
+is the only lever.
+
+**That endpoint takes its parameters from one source.** The documented query form
+(empty body) and the JSON body form (no query) each parse; supplying both at once
+answers `400` with an empty body whatever the values, and `ValidationFailure` is
+rejected in the body while the query form accepts it.
+
+**`RefreshStatus` on the `GET /Library/VirtualFolders` record is not a progress
+read.** It stayed `Idle` through a scan that was verifiably running at 75 %. The
+record's useful field is `ItemId`, and the live library set is still the entries
+whose `Locations` are non-empty.
+
+`inotify` does not cross a rootless podman bind, so folders created on the host
+stay invisible until a pass like this runs; every pass that writes into a library
+ends by firing one.
+
+**`Movies` has no watcher at all.** `EnableRealtimeMonitor` is per library (table in
+*Data layout*) and it is false for `Movies` and `Collections`. Nothing notices a
+folder created under `/data/Movies`: it stays invisible until a recursive refresh
+names it. So every pass that writes into a library ends by firing one, and "Jellyfin
+does not see the file I just moved in" is the designed answer, not a fault to chase.
+
+## API-key ledger and rotation
+
+`/Auth/Keys` is the ledger. `GET` lists every key **with its `AccessToken` in
+cleartext**, so an admin token in hand prints the whole fleet's keys;
+`POST /Auth/Keys?app=<name>` mints one and answers `204` **with no body** — the
+new token is read back from the `GET`, never from the create response.
+`DELETE /Auth/Keys/{token}` revokes **by the token string**, and a parameter that
+matches nothing answers `204` too, so `204` there is not proof anything was
+removed. Discover a route's verb from the `Allow` header of an `OPTIONS` (or
+`GET`) response — never by firing `DELETE` at a guess.
+
+- `IsActive` reads `False` on rows that authenticate `200`. It is not a usability
+  signal; only an authenticated request is.
+- `DateLastActivity` never moves off `0001-01-01` on 12.4, so "is this key in
+  use?" cannot be answered from the ledger. The census is repo + host credential
+  stores + the `Devices` table (whose `DateLastActivity` *is* real).
+- Rotation order: mint → rewrite **both** stores (`~/.config/secrets/jellyfin`
+  and `JELLYFIN_API_KEY` in the ignored `dankserver/.env`) → prove the new key on
+  `/System/Info` → `DELETE` the old token → prove `401`. Revoking while a store
+  still holds that value breaks the scan door silently.
+- Blast radius as measured 2026-11-03: no repo script reads `JELLYFIN_API_KEY`;
+  Seerr keeps a key of its own in its own DB (which of its two rows it uses was
+  never confirmed), so revoke by token and never by app name.
+
+## 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.

+# Media Duplicate Prune
+
+The movie library holds the same film twice in two different ways — the same file
+downloaded again, or the same film grabbed a second time at another quality — and
+[[Entropy Volume]] is permanently full, so both are worth finding. They need
+different rules, and neither is decided by name similarity alone.
+
+A series duplicates differently again: one show spread over several folders, so
+neither the file nor the folder is the unit — see *A series is measured per
+episode*.
+
+`/mnt/entropy/media-park` was a third kind: a parking lot that held whole shows
+and films nothing served. It is gone; its contents went to `NeedsProcessing`.
+
+## What counts
+
+| Class | Test | Action |
+|---|---|---|
+| Byte-identical | equal size, equal content hash | keep one copy, hold the rest |
+| Same work, worse encode | same title, same year, every runtime within 5 % | keep the largest — Frank's rule |
+| Different cut | same title and year, runtimes more than 5 % apart | **never touched**: an extended and a theatrical version are different products |
+| Same words, different film | title matches, year or duration does not | never grouped — this is the false-merge class that would destroy a unique file |
+| Series split across folders | same show by tvdb id, then the episode `(S,E)` — never the folder name | keep the largest carrier of each episode (`scripts/media-tvdupes.py`) |
+
+## The screen
+
+The array cannot afford a full-content read, so identity is established in steps
+and each step only narrows what the next one touches:
+
+1. `scripts/media-census.py enumerate` — size is free, and identical files share it.
+2. Head+tail `blake2b`, 4 MiB at each end, on the size collisions only.
+3. **Before anything moves**, confirm with a sparse-window hash: 32 MiB at eight
+   evenly spaced offsets. Re-hashing a remux-heavy set in full read 150 GiB for
+   the better part of an hour; the sparse window cost 50 s, a file that merely
+   shares its head and tail cannot survive it, and the destination is a
+   recoverable hold rather than a deletion.
+4. Durations come from `scripts/media-census.py probe` — the relayout's own
+   census. Do not hand-roll a second probe: it re-seeks the array for an answer
+   the repo tool already produces, and a probe is the one census step that costs
+   hours instead of seconds.
+
+## Which copy survives
+
+In order: not one inside an `extras`, `featurettes`, `samples` or `trailers`
+folder (an extra is not a copy of the film, and extra names collide across films);
+then the shallowest path; then the file whose name equals its `Title (year)`
+folder; then the largest. For the same-work class the largest is the answer, and
+the canonical-name rule only breaks a tie — without it a `Film - 1080p.mkv` can
+outlive `Film.mkv` for no reason but a space sorting before a dot.
+
+## A series is measured per episode
+
+`scripts/media-tvdupes.py` censuses a TV library and writes a staging plan in the
+executor's own format; it never moves anything itself.
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/media-tvdupes.py --library /mnt/entropy/TVShows \
+    --hold /mnt/entropy/.AGENTTRASH/<date>-tv-duplicates \
+    --meta /var/lib/media-meta/view/TVShows --witness witness.tsv \
+    --ids /mnt/entropy/.media-campaign/tv-tvdb-ids.tsv \
+    --out /mnt/entropy/.media-campaign/tv-dupes-plan.tsv --json /tmp/tv-groups.json
+# then media-apply.py apply / verify / sweep / rollback, exactly as for a film prune
+```
+
+- **Identity before geometry.** A folder's tvdb id is read from its `[tvdbid-N]`
+  name tag, from the `tvshow.nfo` the [[Media Metadata View]] exposes (`--meta`),
+  and from a `folder<TAB>id` map (`--ids`). Build that map from Jellyfin's own
+  match, not a lookup: `BaseItems` (`Type like '%TV.Series'`) joined to
+  `BaseItemProviders` where `ProviderId = 'Tvdb'`, the `/data/TVShows/` prefix
+  stripped to the bare top-level folder name — 616 folders, none carrying two
+  ids, written to `/mnt/entropy/.media-campaign/tv-tvdb-ids.tsv`. Two folders with disjoint ids
+  are two shows however alike they read — *Avatar: The Last Airbender* (1999)
+  beside the 2024 remake, *Millennium* (1996) beside a German thriller Jellyfin
+  had also titled *Millennium* — and a pair whose identity cannot be proven is
+  reported `UNRESOLVED` and left alone. The fix is the tag, never a guess.
+- **A tag outranks every derived id.** The `--ids` map and the `tvshow.nfo` layer
+  fill an untagged folder and are **dropped** when they contradict its own
+  `[tvdbid-N]`, which the report prints as `DISAGREE`. Measured the same day: the
+  provider table carries a 2026 special's id on `Malcolm in the Middle (2000)
+  [tvdbid-73838]`; unioned, those folders are one show and the special's bigger
+  files dominate the original's S01E01–E04 — 3.2 GiB of the 2000 series bound for
+  the hold as "worse copies". The pass that staged 54 GiB ran with no `--ids`, so no
+  staged file rests on a borrowed id.
+- **A folder-level verdict destroys content.** Of 25 structural candidates in the
+  2026-11-02 census, **10 were complementary halves**: *Game of Thrones: The
+  Complete Series* holds no S01 and no S08, `Modern Family S05` is the only copy of
+  season 5, *Loiter Squad Uncensored* the only copy of season 1. Judged per folder
+  the pass would have staged about 340 GB of unique episodes; judged per episode it
+  staged 54 GiB of true copies.
+- **A file is droppable only when every episode it carries is held elsewhere in the
+  same show at >= its size** (Frank's rule, applied per episode). A byte-identical
+  pair ties and the tie breaks by path so exactly one copy stages; a file holding
+  one unique episode stays whatever else it carries.
+- **A bare number is never an episode.** `256383.mp4` may be an episode id, a
+  poster or a whole season, so key-less names are never staged and are counted in
+  the report (4,036 after the 2026-11-02 pass, almost all genuine bonus material).
+ Where a packager named files by id, Jellyfin's own table is the witness: a
+ `path<TAB>season<TAB>episode` TSV from `BaseItems` where `Type like '%TV.Episode'`
+ and both index numbers are set, read `mode=ro&immutable=1`, its `/data` prefix
+ rewritten to the raw array path. Jellyfin 12 keeps `Path`, `ParentIndexNumber` and
+`IndexNumber` on `BaseItems` and stores the full CLR type name — confirm with
+`pragma table_info` before trusting the query, because an empty witness silently
+falls back to name parsing.
+  Seven clips in the library are still named only by number, and where Jellyfin
+  was asked its own `Name` for them is the number too, so no database holds a
+  better title — that residue is naming, not a task.
+- **A pack states a range and competes on all of it.** `S01E01-02` is droppable only
+  when both halves are held elsewhere, and it wins the survivor seat for both when
+  it is the largest carrier: the byte law compares files, and a name both servers
+  parse as a range stays indexed as two episodes.
+- **A sidecar that shares the doomed copy's stem goes with it** — subtitles, `.nfo`,
+  artwork keyed on the stem — so a staged duplicate leaves no orphan beside the
+  survivor. The 2026-11-02 hold is 220 media files and nothing else: the dominated
+  copies were bare rips, and counting a hold's non-media files is the census that
+  tells you which case you are in.
+- **The audit gates the plan file.** Every survivor is re-statted and every
+  destination re-checked before `--out` is written; on failure the report prints
+  `AUDIT FAILED` and writes no plan, so there is nothing to hand the executor.
+- **Two folders that look duplicated and share zero episode keys are complementary,
+  not duplicated.** That is how the two pairs the census still refuses to merge were
+  settled without touching them: *Star Wars - The Clone Wars* (12 files, 1.3 GiB)
+  beside *Star Wars The Clone Wars* (121 files, 214 GiB), and the *Batman: The
+  Animated Series* leftovers (3 files) beside the tagged folder (85) — `shared
+  episode keys: 0` in both cases, so a tag would have freed nothing and cost a
+  rename with library consequences. Re-running the whole census with the id map over
+  all 753 top-level folders (606 already tagged) staged **0 files**: the library is
+  duplicate-free to the limit of provable identity, and what remains is naming.
+
+## Guards
+
+Each of these is a file that would have been destroyed without it:
+
+- **`.!qB` is qBittorrent state, not a duplicate.** It can be byte-identical to
+  the finished file while qB still counts the download incomplete; moving it
+  breaks the re-check and re-downloads the film. Report it, leave it. Both
+  leftovers in `Movies` are 13 months stale, so they are Frank's purge decision,
+  not a prune decision.
+- **Require a year, and keep digits in the title.** Stripping digits merged
+  *Akira — Teaser 1* with *Teaser 2*; without a year, two different extras that
+  happened to share a name merged.
+- Both members must be feature length, and a name carrying `disc`, `cd` or `part`
+  is excluded: half a multi-disc release is not a copy of the other half.
+- Media containers only. Grouping every extension buries the report in subtitle
+  and cover pairs — and a duration guard that appears to fire on 720 groups is
+  counting subtitles, not protecting films.
+- **A short file named after a film is promotion, not a movie.** Thirty-two files
+  in `Movies` — 31 clips and the `.nfo` filed beside one of them — carried real
+  titles (`The Descent (2005) - SD.mkv`) and were 8–20-second h264 video at
+  640×360, 1024×576 or 1280×720, 49 MiB all together —
+  25 of them in a `_release-group watermarks/` folder and the rest at the library
+  root or inside one film's folder. No duplicate screen ever catches them: nothing
+  shares their size, and the feature-length guard above makes them invisible to the
+  similar-title pass too. They were held as `.AGENTTRASH/20261104-promo-clips`
+  (journal `/mnt/entropy/.media-campaign/promo-hold.jsonl`, which survives) and purged
+  the same evening, once both databases read `REAL: 0` against that journal.
+  The census that finds the next batch is a duration floor, not a hash: a video under
+  a minute on a name that reads like a feature is advertising.
+
+## The hold
+
+Nothing is deleted. Every doomed copy moves into a dated hold with the same
+executor the relayout uses, so any file comes back:
+
+```bash
+scripts/media-apply.py apply   --plan /mnt/entropy/.media-campaign/dup-prune-similar-plan.tsv \
+    --root /mnt/entropy --journal /mnt/entropy/.media-campaign/dup-prune-similar.jsonl          # dry
+scripts/media-apply.py apply   --plan … --root /mnt/entropy --journal … --apply
+scripts/media-apply.py verify  --plan … --journal /mnt/entropy/.media-campaign/dup-prune-similar.jsonl
+scripts/media-apply.py sweep   --journal /mnt/entropy/.media-campaign/dup-prune-similar.jsonl --root /mnt/entropy --apply
+scripts/media-apply.py rollback --journal /mnt/entropy/.media-campaign/dup-prune-similar.jsonl --root /mnt/entropy --apply
+```
+
+The plan rows are the tool's own format (`action src dst kind`, `mkdir` rows for
+every hold parent), and the planner re-checks the two things that go stale between
+analysis and apply: a file that has moved since the census, and a group whose
+keeper is missing — either one drops the whole group rather than half-applying it.
+
+- **A hold on the same volume frees nothing.** The purge is a separate, approved
+  act and the only thing that moves the free-space number; `df` does not budge
+  when 1 TiB moves sideways.
+- `sweep` removes the release folders the pass emptied. Empty folders dated a year
+  ago are torrent detritus (`Subtitle,info`, `Screens`, `Sample`) from a previous
+  era, not this pass — read the mtimes before blaming the prune.
+- The 2026-11-01 pass held 226 files (~1.1 TiB) in
+  `/mnt/entropy/.AGENTTRASH/20261101-duplicate-prune`, journals
+  `dup-prune-exact.jsonl` and `dup-prune-similar.jsonl`.
+- The 2026-11-02 TV pass held 220 files (54 GiB) in
+  `/mnt/entropy/.AGENTTRASH/20261102-tv-duplicates` — plan `tv-dupes-plan.tsv`,
+  journal `tv-dupes.jsonl`, 220 moves / 16 hold folders / 7 husks swept — and the
+  same day's TVShows detritus pass staged 109 files (552 KiB) in
+  `/mnt/entropy/.AGENTTRASH/20261102-tvshows-detritus` with plan
+  `tvshows-detritus-plan.tsv` and journal `tvshows-detritus.jsonl`. All four
+  journals and plans live at the `entropy` root, not `/tmp`.
+- **Purged 2026-11-04, on Frank's word, after the gate below:** the duplicate
+  prune, the TV duplicate pass, the Ghibli duplicates (6 files — both `Nausicaä`
+  copies among them) and the 2026-11-04 promo-clip hold left the array trash,
+  ~1.2 TB freed (the array went 218 GB → 1.4 TB available). The journals survive as
+  the only record of where a purged file came from; rollback after a purge is
+  impossible, which is why the gate runs first.
+
+### The purge gate: a carrier for every held file
+
+`REAL: 0` in both databases says only that no row points at a moved path; it says
+nothing about whether the film survived. So a purge waits on a stronger proof:
+**every held file has a same-work carrier in the live library at >= its size,
+re-derived at purge time**, never copied from the plan. The 2026-11-04 purge re-found
+all 452 held files this way; the first pass of the gate could not place 142 of them,
+and every one of those was a matcher gap, not a lost film. What the re-derivation has
+to absorb:
+
+- **The layout moves under the plan.** The relayout renames folders to
+  `Title (YYYY)` and `[tvdbid-N]/Season N` and renames the keeper files too, so the
+  paths *and* the sizes a plan recorded no longer describe the library. Keys are work
+  identity — normalized title+year for a film, `(S,E)` for a TV pack — never a path.
+- **Fold accents, then compare.** The library holds `Nausicaä`; a plan, a
+  `find -ipath "*Nausicaa*"`, and an ASCII substring search all miss it. NFKD-fold and
+  drop combining marks, or a real keeper reads absent for two rounds and the file
+  beside it starts to look like an orphan.
+- **The carrier is often another container, and usually larger.** A held `.mp4` can be
+  kept as the sibling `.mkv`; keep-larger means the keeper is frequently far bigger (a
+  377 MB held episode matched a 501 MB keeper; a 1.6 GiB film stands beside a 34 GiB
+  BDRemux of itself in another folder). "Same folder, same bytes" reports survivors as
+  lost — it is the wrong test.
+- **An exact twin can sit in a sibling folder**, so "no same-size file in the folder"
+  needs an array-wide name search before it means anything.
+
+### Running the purge
+
+`scripts/purge-agenttrash.sh` is the only door — never `rm`. It acts on exactly one
+object: a root's own `.AGENTTRASH`. A partial purge is therefore **staged, not
+filtered**: move the approved buckets into a scratch root
+(`.PURGE-<date>/.AGENTTRASH/`) and point the purger at that root, and park anything
+not approved at the array root as `.HOLD-<date>-*`, out of its reach. Dry-run first —
+the plan must print exactly one `plan empty` row, and it is the same row `--execute`
+acts on — and send `--log` into `.media-campaign/`, because `/tmp` is not a record.
+Then read `df`: a purge is the only media act that moves the free-space number.
+
+## After the pass
+
+Both servers still hold rows for files that are now in the hold, and neither
+notices: the media bind is the [[Media Metadata View]], and array changes do not
+cross it as inotify events. Scan in the order the rescan law sets — Jellyfin to
+`Idle`, then Plex's Movies section alone, one accepted refresh each; the requests
+are owned by [[Jellyfin]] and [[Plex]].
+
+The Plex leg may be deferred on purpose: stop **and mask** Plex (`systemctl --user
+stop plex && systemctl --user mask plex`) so its metadata fetches cannot stack on a
+live Jellyfin scan, and because a masked unit stays stopped through a reboot —
+`unmask` before starting it. The 2026-11-01 morning ran it once Jellyfin reached
+`Idle`: one accepted `refresh` on the Movies section cleared every row that named a
+held path. The 2026-11-02 TV pass did the same on the TV Shows section (key 3): one
+accepted refresh, then `media-verify.py` against that journal reads `landed: 0`,
+`still at src: 0`, `REAL: 0` on **both** servers — the correct end state for a prune.
+
+The same evening's detritus pass is a second, separate hold: 423 files (12 MiB) in
+`/mnt/entropy/.AGENTTRASH/20261101-detritus-sweep`, plan `detritus-sweep-plan.tsv`,
+journal `detritus-sweep.jsonl`, 542 husks removed by `sweep`. It moved files only
+from folders whose whole subtree held no media, so it creates no stale rows and
+needs no scan. The guards that hold a folder back are the finding: external
+subtitle folders (428 of them, 6 GiB) and ripped Blu-ray streams — `.sup` PGS,
+`.thd`/`.eac3`/`.dts` audio, `.cci` captions, 25 GiB — are not trash, and an
+extension the census does not recognise is a reason to stop, not to sweep.
+
+A folder holding a `.plexmatch` is held back even when its subtree looks empty: that
+file is a manual match — a human decision about what the folder is — and detritus
+rules do not overrule one.
+
+`scripts/media-verify.py` reads differently for a prune than for a relayout:
+`landed: 0` is the **correct** end state (no server may index the hold), so the
+verdict is `still at src: 0` with `REAL: 0`, and the rows that simply vanished
+from the database are the pass succeeding.
+
+One residue is normal, so do not chase it: a section pass rewrites the feature rows
+first, and rows for clips in a film's `other/` or `extras/` subfolder can still name

-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

+# 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 \
+    --titles /tmp/tv_titles.tsv --probed /tmp/tv_probed.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.

+journal's mtime fails, and so does the trigger's own epoch — the request satisfies the
+very door it was asked to wait for. The failure direction is a false *success*, never a
+false alarm, which is what makes it worth the warning: ask `status` whether a scan got
+recorded, and never let a chain depend on it.

+error long before it reaches the server. The request therefore rides plain

+are allowed (gotcha 5). The credential is `PlexOnlineToken` in the container's

+format a backslash-newline is LITERAL, so a two-line string becomes one glued
+line plus a stray backslash, and curl answers `option -K: is unknown` — never
+"bad config line".

-  the flow's password stage with `Invalid password` and only
-  `intent=verification` passes. The live token for `svc-jellyfin-ldap` is
-  `app_password` (`authentik_core_token`, 2026-10-18), so either the rule is
-  wrong or the current Jellyfin bind path is not that token. Nothing observable
-  settles it today: the LDAP outpost's retained log holds only its 5-minute
-  `initialized direct binder` / `Update providers` config cycles and no bind
-  activity *(unverified 2026-10-18: no bind was performed — reproducing it
-  requires the bind secret)*. Re-verify with a real bind before changing the
-  token's intent either way.
+- **Token intent is moot for Jellyfin.** The earlier argument (a bind token with
+  `intent=app_password` is rejected by the flow's password stage, only
+  `intent=verification` passes) never applied here: LDAP-Auth sends the service
+  account's **password** from `LdapBindPassword`, not a token. A live bind plus a
+  `memberOf=cn=jellyfin_users` search (11 entries) succeeded from Dankserver on
+  2026-11-04. Leave the token row alone.
 - **Search needs `search_full_directory`.** Without the RBAC grant the
   outpost returns only the bind user itself — a `(memberOf=…)` filter then
   matches zero entries and the plugin logs `Found no users matching X`.
   The permission is object-level on the provider; grant it via an RBAC role
   and retest.
+- **The outpost log never shows a bind.** Its retained journal is only the
+  5-minute `initialized direct binder` / `Update providers` config cycle; the
+  absence of a bind line is not evidence of anything. Instruments that do answer:
+  `ldapsearch` with the plugin's own DN, password and filter, and the authentik
+  event registry (`login` / `login_failed` with `client_ip` from the podman
+  gateway, since the published port SNATs).

+- **Never pipe `ak shell` inside a heredoc.** `podman exec -i … ak shell | grep
+  -v '^{'` binds the heredoc to `grep` (the redirection belongs to the LAST
+  element of the pipeline), so the shell gets no stdin and prints nothing at all.

+## 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.

It now runs only from its quadlet unit, and the repo has no `dankclaw/compose.yaml` left to re-add it to (`ls`, 2026-10-18).
 - `admin off` disables the config file watcher: rendered changes then sit on disk while Caddy serves its stale in-memory config until the container is recreated, and nothing logs an error (2026-08-22: a broken basicauth hash survived several deploys this way). `tests/caddyfile.bats` forbids `admin off`.

-- A public vhost needs three things: a Pi-hole `addn-hosts` line, a Porkbun A record, and the Caddyfile block. See [[LAN-DNS]]. The deliberate exception is an **internal-only** name: `hermes.franksdank.cloud` and `hermesadmin.franksdank.cloud` are in `addn-hosts` and the Caddyfile but have no public record, which is what keeps them LAN-only — DNS-01 issuance needs no public A record (`dankclaw/Caddyfile:173-179`).
+- **Exposure has exactly two gates: the router's 80/443 forward to Caddy, and Caddy's vhost list.** Caddy matches on SNI/Host, so *every* name in the Caddyfile already answers a WAN client that sends that name — a public A record buys **discoverability, not access** (measured 2026-11-04). A published name needs a Pi-hole `addn-hosts` line, a Porkbun A record and the Caddyfile block ([[LAN-DNS]]); DNS-01 issuance needs no public record, so an **internal-only** name is one with no A record. Posture measured 2026-11-04: the whole authentik-guarded set is published — `www.`, `search.`, `romm.`, `files.`, `grafana.`, `prometheus.`, `loki.`, `seerr.`, `marreta.`, `notebook.` — while the names with no public record are the self-authenticating exempt ones (`pihole.`, `hermes.`, `hermesadmin.`, `prowlarr.`, `radarr.`, `lidarr.`, `readarr.`, `qbittorrent.`) and the legacy redirects (`dankclaw.`, `dankserver.`). Every A record is a copy of the WAN address, which is dynamic — republish after an IP change.
+- **A missing DNS record is not a gate: the names are public anyway.** Caddy issues one certificate per name and every issuance is published in Certificate Transparency logs — `crt.sh` for `%.franksdank.cloud` lists the live *and* retired set (`sonarr.`, `comfyui.`, `chat.`, `jellyfin.`, the whole *arr stack), so "LAN-only because there is no A record" is fiction and a stranger can send the Host. A household-only service needs a **source gate in its vhost**, which is what the *arr stack and qBittorrent now carry: a LAN client proxies through, anything off-LAN gets `404`. Keep those five gated even though they have no A record.
+- **The LAN gate is `remote_ip`, and it reads the true client.** The G36 DNATs the 80/443 forward straight to Caddy with no proxy hop, so `@lan remote_ip 127.0.0.1/32 ::1/128 192.168.0.0/16 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12` sees either a LAN address or the internet address — never the router's. Verify the split without waiting for a WAN client: a LAN request must reach the upstream (a dead upstream still proves it passed the gate, because the answer is its `502`, not the gate's `404`), and an external fetcher must get the `404`.
+- **A new record looks like it failed for up to the SOA's negative TTL.** The zone's negative cache is 1800 s, so a resolver that asked for the name *before* the create keeps answering NXDOMAIN (1.1.1.1 did, while Quad9 and the authoritative NS had the record seconds after the create) — check `dig @<authoritative NS>` before re-creating anything.
 - The G36 has no NAT loopback, so LAN clients must resolve the name to the LAN IP. That is the Pi-hole role in [[LAN-DNS]]. *(unverified 2026-10-18: hairpin behaviour is only observable from a WAN-side client; nothing on the LAN or in this repo can prove it)*
 - Caddy serves HTTPS on 443 and HTTP on 80 (redirects). The router needs no 80/443 port forward for LAN use.
 - `transport http {versions h2c 1.1}` on a vhost makes Caddy send an h2c

-  chat programs that run on your own computer and can read your files, run commands,
-  and edit code while they talk. They are all built to speak the same standard
-  language as the big commercial products (the "OpenAI-compatible" API), and our
-  server speaks it too. You give the program three things — an address, a personal
-  key, and a model name — and your laptop thinks through our hardware.</p>
-
-  <h2>Step 1 — get your personal key</h2>
-  <ol>
-    <li>Open <a href="https://ai.franksdank.cloud">ai.franksdank.cloud</a> and log in.</li>
-    <li>Click your circle (bottom-left corner) → <strong>Settings</strong> → <strong>Account</strong>.</li>
-    <li>Scroll to <strong>API keys</strong> → press <strong>Show</strong> (it flips to
-    <strong>Hide</strong>) — the key appears as a row of dots.</li>
-    <li>Press the <strong>copy icon</strong> beside the key (the eye previews it;
-    the <strong>⋯</strong> menu rotates it later). The key looks like <code>sk-3f2a…</code>.</li>
-  </ol>
-  <img src="img/openwebui-api-keys.png" alt="The Open WebUI Account settings page, scrolled to the API keys section with the masked key, preview, copy and rotate controls">
-  <p class="key-warn">The key is a password. Anyone who has it can use our AI as
-  you. Paste it only into the program's config file — never into a shared chat,
-  a screenshot, or a git repository.</p>
-
-  <h2>Step 2 — the three details every tool asks for</h2>
-  <ul>
-    <li><strong>Base URL:</strong> <code>https://ai.franksdank.cloud/api/v1</code></li>
-    <li><strong>Model:</strong> <code>frank-zealot</code> — the family utility model (this is the id the API expects)</li>
-    <li><strong>API key:</strong> the <code>sk-…</code> from step 1 — sent as the header <code>Authorization: Bearer sk-…</code></li>
-  </ul>
-  <p>Proof that it works, from any terminal (replace the key):</p>
-  <pre><code>curl https://ai.franksdank.cloud/api/v1/chat/completions \
+<h2>Let your own tools use it</h2>
+<p class="kicker">For the household's programmers</p>
+<p>Frank can hand you an API key. It works on one door
+&mdash; <code>https://ai.franksdank.cloud/api/v1</code> &mdash; and speaks the plain OpenAI
+dialect, so anything that can talk to a hosted model can talk to the house.</p>
+<pre><code>curl https://ai.franksdank.cloud/api/v1/chat/completions \
   -H "Authorization: Bearer PASTE-YOUR-KEY" \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{"model": "frank-zealot", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]}'</code></pre>
-
-  <h2>Step 3a — Opencode</h2>
-  <p>Install once (<code>npm install -g opencode-ai</code>), then create the file
-  <code>~/.config/opencode/opencode.json</code> with:</p>
-  <pre><code>{
-  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
-  "provider": {
-    "frank": {
-      "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
-      "name": "Frank fleet",
-      "options": {
-        "baseURL": "https://ai.franksdank.cloud/api/v1",
-        "apiKey": "PASTE-YOUR-KEY"
-      },
-      "models": {
-        "frank-zealot": { "name": "frank-zealot" }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}</code></pre>
-  <p>Start <code>opencode</code> and pick the model with <code>/model</code> —
-  it appears as <code>frank/frank-zealot</code>.</p>
-
-  <h2>Step 3b — Pi</h2>
-  <p>Create the file <code>~/.pi/agent/models.json</code> with:</p>
-  <pre><code>{
+  -d '{
+    "model": "frank-dragoon",
+    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What is on the shelf?"}]
+  }'</code></pre>
+<p>For <a href="https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono">Pi</a>, drop this in
+<code>models.json</code>:</p>
+<pre><code>{
   "providers": {
     "frank": {
       "baseUrl": "https://ai.franksdank.cloud/api/v1",
       "api": "openai-completions",
       "apiKey": "PASTE-YOUR-KEY",
       "models": [
-        { "id": "frank-zealot" }
+        { "id": "frank-dragoon" }
       ]
     }
   }
 }</code></pre>
-  <p>Then start Pi with <code>pi --model frank/frank-zealot</code>.</p>
+<p>Then start Pi with <code>pi --model frank/frank-dragoon</code>.</p>
+<p class="foot-note">The key is for the house AI only &mdash; it is not your Authentik password,
+and losing it costs nothing beyond asking Frank to rotate it. Want a different model than the
+one you were given? Ask Frank to widen the key.</p>
+</section>
 
-  <p class="foot-note">The key works only for the family AI — it is not your
-  Authentik password, and losing it costs nothing beyond asking Frank to rotate it.
-  Want a bigger model (<code>frank-archon</code>, <code>frank-dragoon</code>)? Ask Frank to raise your access.</p>

+<h2>When something misbehaves</h2>
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>The robot check page keeps coming back.</strong> Your browser is blocking the
+  scripts it needs (or an extension is). Allow scripts for that site, or try another browser.
+  Still looping? Ask Frank &mdash; the guard can be told you're a person.</li>
+  <li><strong>"Invalid password" on the front desk.</strong> Right password, wrong door: the
+  family login does not open Plex or the e-book door. Jellyfin does take it, but only for the
+  names Frank has given library access.</li>
+  <li><strong>The AI is slow.</strong> Each model only holds a couple of conversations at once
+  (two, three or four, depending which). It is a queue, not a crash &mdash; or Frank is
+  mid-conversation; the big one is on the same machine as the films.</li>
+  <li><strong>The AI invents something confidently.</strong> All three are small models living
+  on house hardware; they will make things up rather than say "I don't know". Check anything
+  that matters.</li>
+  <li><strong>A film is missing.</strong> It is probably not on the shelf yet, or it landed
+  yesterday and the library hasn't been told. Say so and Frank will scan.</li>
+  <li><strong>A file app can't reach the shelf from outside the house.</strong> Expected: the
+  public door is browser-shaped. Use the browser, or mount the home address on the house Wi-Fi.</li>
+  <li><strong>Something is genuinely down.</strong> The homepage badge says
+  <span style="color: var(--down)">DOWN</span> &mdash; tell Frank which one. Screenshots help.</li>
+</ul>
+<p class="foot-note">Anything missing, wrong, or written like a manual instead of a person:
+that's a bug in this page. Tell Frank, or tell the machine that wrote it.</p>

+# Seam: scripts/audiobookshelf-init.sh — the Audiobookshelf bootstrapper.
+#
+# A freshly deployed Audiobookshelf answers /healthcheck 200 while it has no
+# user, no library and no scan, so "healthy" proves nothing about usefulness.
+# This seam pins what the bootstrapper must make true, against a stub that
+# speaks the same API as the pinned image (POST /init + POST /login at the
+# root, bearer-authenticated /api/*, library count only on /items):
+#   1. an unregistered server gains the account, the library and a scan, and the
+#      credential lands mode 600 with both keys;
+#   2. a second run creates nothing new (exactly one /init, one library) and
+#      still fires the incremental scan;
+#   3. neither the bearer token nor the password ever rides a URL — a secret in
+#      a URL or an argv is world-readable in /proc/<pid>/cmdline, which is how
+#      an HF token leaked into a transcript on 2026-09-16;
+#   4. a server that cannot be reached is refused by URL with exit 1, never
+#      reported as success (a green deploy over a dead API is a lie);
+#   5. ABS_SCAN outside 0/1 is a usage error raised before anything is touched;
+#   6. the deployer runs the bootstrapper only after the health gate answered.
+#   7. the SSO arm sends the base path: ABS builds its redirect_uri as
+#      <origin><authOpenIDSubfolderForRedirectURLs>/auth/openid/callback, and the
+#      value must be the path the app is mounted under — never the literal
+#      "undefined" a fresh database leaves there.

+# 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.
