# STATUS — tracker.worldapi.org
## 2026-10-01 — tickets #22–#25 (mission 058): air dates, season check, movie watched check, genre pages (NOT deployed)
**Built** (details README "What it does (mission 058)"): #22 every episode row shows its air date (server rows + opened
seasons). #23 a season's check is DERIVED = all its episodes watched (live with the face's answer; a season click on a partly
watched season watches the rest). #24 a movie's page has `#moviewatch` (watch `targetType 'movie'`, face `showToggleMovie`;
signed out → modal), `/my/movies` says "N movies · M watched" + a check per watched row. #25 `/genres/<genre>` (+ `/page/<n>`,
`components/genre.hl`, catalog.hl `index.genres`): movies AND series, newest first, 24 per page, adult hidden; pills link there,
`/genre/<x>` → 301.
**Decisions**: the season record is still written by a season click but no longer read for the check. A series' place in a
genre list = its newest released episode date (else its release), a movie's = its release (one comparable date). Genre by
`urlSegment` (case-insensitive fallback). TMDB's TV and movie genres stay separate (see Open).
**Gate** (214 → 238):

238 passed, 0 failed
```
One old check changed: "an unwatched check is the inverted icon" now styles a detached copy classed `regular` (with #23 every
check on that page is solid at that point). Fixture: genre Action (`g0000000000000g2`) on Pager Movie 01–30, Pager Future Movie,
Pager Older Series + the adult `Hidden Action Film`. Shots looked at (Loreana /tmp/w058/shots/: show-open-*, movie-watched-*,
genre-action-*, my-movies-*).
**Real data** (copy of Byrodin `storage/` 2026-10-01 12:03 UTC, :8730, creator 0mujqspn0aqb, `node tests/realdata-058.mjs`, full
load goto → hydrated, 3 repeats, ms 390 | 1280): `/shows/Foundation` 549/277/221 | 224/228/225 (10 open rows all dated, top season
check == all its episodes); `/shows/Star-Trek-First-Contact` (movie) 234/250/250 | 237/238/239; `/genres/Action` 118/991/42 |
92/39/43 (643 titles, 27 pages; server 6–8 ms by curl — the spikes are poster loads); page 2 41/103/749 | 93/48/110; `/my/movies`
66/63/66 | 68/63/63. Movie check on the copy: click 361 ms → reload solid → click back → reload regular. Genre kinds page 1:
Action 24 movies/0 series, Drama 5/19, Action-Adventure 0/24. 0 console problems. Screenshots /tmp/w058/real/ on Loreana (looked at).

```
**Open**: (1) deploy. (2) TMDB's TV genres ("Action & Adventure", "Sci-Fi & Fantasy", "War & Politics") are separate genres from
the movie ones, so `/genres/Action` has no series on real data — merge them? (creator). (3) A series tile shows its start year
while it is placed by its newest episode (same as /shows). (4) The season's own watch record can now disagree with its episodes
(not read anywhere for the check).
## 2026-10-01 — ticket #17 (mission 057): season caret up/down, skeleton rows, faster opening (NOT deployed)
**Built** (`components/show.hl`, `styles.hl`, gate): caret DOWN closed / UP open. Opening a season: caret up + min(episodes, 8)
shimmering skeleton rows at once (client-side), then the sessionless face `showSeasonEpisodes(seasonId)` → `filledRows`
replaces them. Closing: client-only, no request. Watch state from member `watchedEpisodes` (per season `{ all, except }`).
Adult title pages (followers only) keep the session face `showRows(slug, collapsed)` (signature changed: no toggle inside).
Details: README "What it does (ticket #17)".
**Why it was slow** (measured): server work per open was small (probe on the copy: showBySlug 60–78 ms linear scan,
watchesOfUser 20 ms, watchedSet 6, episodesOfSeason 6) — but the face took `session`, so hl:web RE-MOUNTED the page on the
server and shipped every session-derived member (`rows` with the initial seasons!) as `sync`, which the client repainted,
then the handler repainted again. TRAP for future faces: a face with `session` = a full page re-render server-side + sync.
**Real data** (copy of Byrodin `storage/` 2026-10-01 12:25, :8730, creator az5b2, `node tests/realdata-057.mjs`, ms in the
page from click; 3 repeats; 390 and 1280 alike):
| | Daily Show S30 (142 ep) | Daily Show S28 (123) | LWT S12 (30) | LWT S10 (21) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| before: episodes visible | 380–450 | 355–385 | 265–1093 | 235–285 |
| after: skeleton visible | 77–106 | 76–90 | 25–54 | 24–38 |
| after: episodes visible | 233–288 | 226–268 | 58–102 | 54–74 |
| close before → after | 420–1388 → 135–175 | 420–500 → 135–165 | 285–390 → 28–45 | 260–370 → 26–30 |
Skeleton rows 8 (cap) on all; faces sent: only showSeasonEpisodes, never showRows; client-filled watch state == the server's
rebuild (Daily Show 296 checks/121 solid, LWT 74/29). Page load unchanged (Daily Show ~310–360 ms warm both; HTML 157 → 167 kB
from `watchedEpisodes` — a plain id map was 274 kB, hence `{ all, except }`). Adult path checked once on a 2nd copy with LWT
set `adult = true` (:8728): signed out "Not found", creator opens seasons via showRows (skeleton 8, rows 300–400 ms, no dup).
The Daily Show's skeleton needs ~80 ms because hl:web re-renders the whole flat row list (~264 rows) on every `rows` write.

214 passed, 0 failed
```
Skeleton state tested with a FAKE DELAY: an init script holds the websocket frame naming `showSeasonEpisodes` back 1.5 s
while `window.__delayFace` is set. Shots `show-skeleton/open/closed-{390,1280}.png` looked at (Loreana /tmp/w057/shots/).
**Open**: (1) deploy. (2) Episode/season check clicks still use session faces that rebuild all rows (+ the re-mount sync) —
not measured here; the same split (client patch + a lean face) could speed them up. (3) Big-show skeleton ~80 ms (whole-list re-render in hl:web).
(4) The adult fallback is not in the gate (no fixture series is adult; changing seed-adult shifts many counts).
## 2026-10-01 — mission 056: #16 merged into main, 3 fixes, Hybriel master 8590df63 (NOT deployed)
**Commits** (main, not pushed): 2c53d5e merge t16-person (worktree tracker-wt16 + branch removed; its `.scratch/w055` moved to
`.scratch/w055-wt16`), 2b7fdd6 header + backfill posters, f40c250 Hybriel + adult show page, + this docs commit.
- **Merge**: all conflicts additive. Filmography (people.hl `filmographyOf`) lists only `isPublicTitle` (`adult == false`)
titles whose credit is not adult — unknown hidden like the public lists.
- **Header** (signed out, phone): ident's "choose ident" + "Log in with ident" wrapped (73 px). Now nowrap, the phone says
"Log in" (`span.wide` " with ident" from 40rem): 46 px at 320/390, 54 px at 1280. TRAP: a style key twice in one block
REPLACES the first (a 2nd `'ident-selector::part(button)'` dropped its padding/border) — merge into one line.
- **Backfill**: an adult title's poster is not downloaded (flag + ids stored). Real data: posters 5,433 (was 8,740), dir
269 MB (was 459 MB) → ~190 MB saved.
- **Hybriel** master 8590df63 (≥ 73267707: #122 18cf2fb9, #121 426944c7), sha256 `ca830ef8…`; old in `.scratch/pre-056/`.
Duplicate @ids on live copy: 0 in all 8 tables (episodes 232,384, shows 9,453, watches 11,663, …). Workarounds: none removed
(static helpers kept). SVG namespace check already in the gate (047).
- **Adult show page** (components/show.hl `visibleShow`/`adultHiddenFor`): `adult == true` → "Not found" for non-followers,
signed out too; no member carries the row (`showRow` itself is null — every member is shipped to the browser). A follower
sees it; Unfollow on the page hides it at once (session sync, #122; old build: only after reload). Faces showRows/
showToggle* refuse it. TRAP (why 054's try failed): `collapsed` derived from `found`/`showRow` (session-derived) gets
re-derived on the server with MOUNT state after each session face → seasons snap back, 2nd click dead. `collapsed`
now from the slug (`initialCollapsedOf`). Unknown (`null`) pages are not hidden.
- **Gate fixes**: the backfill "start" line comes with the clock's first tick, after the server answers → wait for it
(was a deterministic fail after the merge); every `stopServer()` first sends the tab to about:blank (websocket reconnect
errors failed the console check intermittently).
**Gate** (203 after merge → 208):

208 passed, 0 failed
```
Proven failing without the fix: poster check (forced download → FAIL), Unfollow-hides check on the old Hybriel (FAIL, page
stayed until reload). Shots `header-signed-out-{320,390,1280}.png`, `person*.png` looked at.

**Open**: (1) deploy: the live backfill (~80 min, now ~270 MB posters). (2) `/my/unwatched` 1.5–2.4 s full load at the 2 s
target (1,595 rows). (3) hl:fetch blocks the server during a slow TMDB answer (max step 5 s in this run). (4) Unfollowing an
adult title on its page turns the page into "Not found" at once (wanted: hidden for non-followers). (5) 137 TMDB-404 titles
stay hidden; adult people are not hidden; people are never refreshed.
## 2026-10-01 — ticket #16 (mission 055, branch t16-person, worktree tracker-wt16): person pages
**Built**: `/person/<slug>` (`components/person.hl`, `people.hl`, route + `/profiles/:name` in `project.hl`, styles block, search.hl
`titleIdByTmdb`): photo, facts, short bio, filmography (poster, title, year, type, role; newest first; adult hidden). Incomplete
person → "Loading filmography…" and a step-by-step TMDB fill without reload (1 TMDB request + photo, then 40 titles per face
call), missing titles added as minimal records with TMDB's `adult`, person marked `filmographyAt`. Details: README "What it does
(ticket #16)".
**Decisions**: the fill is driven by the page (face `personFill` per step; first step from an invisible CSS-animation tick — hl:web
has no mount hook), so it needs no server timer and other requests are served between steps. No sign-in needed. Credits stored in
the migrated `person.shows` (+ `posterPath`, `adult`); migrated credits TMDB no longer lists are kept. Rows without our poster file
show TMDB's w92 thumb (like search's web rows) — posters of added titles otherwise come later (sync/backfill). Crew credits count
(role = job). New titles get this person in `cast` (other existing titles' `cast` is not touched). Bio clamped to 4 lines, click =
all. Hidden: `show.adult == true` OR the credit's TMDB `adult`.
**Real data** (copy of Byrodin `storage/` 2026-10-01 ~10:00, deleted afterwards; dev server :8777, signed out, `TRACKER_SYNC=0`,

Screenshots `/tmp/w055/shots/person{,-complete}-{390,1280}.png` (looked at).
**Merge notes**: shared files touched additively — `project.hl` (1 import, `profilesDir`/`profileRoute` before the "old addresses"
block, 2 routes after `/search/:q?`), `search.hl` (`titleIdByTmdb` before "the query as it comes in the address"), `styles.hl` (one
block before `@media` + 2 lines at the end of it), `tests/faketmdb.mjs` (`persons`, `personRequests`, `personDelayMs`), `tests/seed-show.hl`
(Test Actor gets `tmdbId = 3002`, genre Drama `tmdbId = 18`, two persons), `tests/browser.mjs` (`gatePersons` fixture, a block
before "#10 THE INSTALLABLE APP"), README/STATUS. Mission 054 (`adult`): people.hl already reads `show.adult == true` and writes `adult`
on added titles; if 054 also filters the public lists, the gate's "Hidden Adult Film" (2012) leaves /movies — no gate check here counts it.
**Open**: the TMDB step blocks the server for its request (~0.25–0.65 s; hl:fetch is blocking). People are never refreshed after
complete (the ticket's "daily sync may refresh followed people later" — not built). Adult PEOPLE are not hidden (only titles). Added
titles have no poster file / seasons until synced. Signed-out header at 390 wraps "choose ident" / "Log in with ident" to two lines
(not from #16 — seen in the real-data shots, every page).
## 2026-10-01 — mission 054: adult titles hidden from the public lists + the adult-flag backfill (NOT deployed)
**Built**: `shows.adult` true/false/null(unknown). Public lists (catalog.hl: homepage rows, `/movies`, `/shows`) and the
search (search.hl `titleOk`; "Fetch from web": `include_adult=false` + only results with `adult: false`) show ONLY
`adult == false` (shows.hl `isPublicTitle`) — unknown is hidden, so the first deploy is safe. `/my/*` and the show page
are not filtered (a followed adult title stays reachable). The daily sync, the search import and the backfill store
TMDB's flag. **Backfill** in the app (project.hl `backfillTick` → tmdbsync.hl `backfillTitle`): one title per step on a
0.1 s clock shared with the daily sync (which wins), `GET /movie|tv/<id>?append_to_response=external_ids` + the poster
when missing, 260 ms pause per API request; 404 → `adultCheck='TMDB 404'` (hidden, never asked again); no answer/429/5xx
→ retried (≤ 2 per start); resumes after a restart (queue = what is still unknown); log every 500 + done line. Env
`TRACKER_BACKFILL=0` off, `TRACKER_BACKFILL_LOG_EVERY`. Details: README "What it does (mission 054)".
**Decision / Hybriel finding**: hiding the SHOW PAGE from non-followers was built and dropped. `found = showRow != null &&
!adultHiddenFor(showRow, me)` (a static reaching mpackdb, reading `me`) → after any session face on the page
(`showToggleEpisode`) the browser re-derives `found` and then `rows`, whose `buildRows` reaches mpackdb → console
`'watchesOfUser' is a static of 'Watches' whose initializer reaches 'watchesTable', a name the realm 'client' … cannot bind`,
the click does nothing (gate: "ep3 solid" timeout). A plain copy in between (`hideAdult = hiddenAdult`) did not stop it.
So the show page of an adult title opens for anyone who has the link (it is in no list and no search).

alice's `/my/movies` and its page; web search drops TMDB's adult result. Backfill on with 300 ms per fake answer: stopped
after 6 → restart asks only the other 8 (resume; mpackdb `update` survives SIGTERM without `persist`), pages < 1.2 s
meanwhile (slowest 634 ms), lists + search updated at once, poster served, 3rd start "nothing to do". All other fixtures
are `adult = false` (seed-show.hl); `startServer()` runs with `TRACKER_BACKFILL=0` unless a block switches it on; on a
throw the gate now prints the browser console + server log tail. Screenshot `adult-home-1280.png` (looked at).

```
**Open**: (1) deploy: the live app starts the backfill at once (~100 min, ~450 MB of posters into `storage/` → the
nightly backup); until it reaches a title the lists are emptier (all unknown at the first start). (2) A slow TMDB answer
blocks pages for its duration (max seen 4.9 s) — needs a non-blocking fetch in Hybriel or shorter timeouts (20 s now).
(3) Posters of adult titles are downloaded too (served only by their file name; could be skipped to save ~170 MB).
(4) The show page of an adult title is not hidden (Hybriel limit above). (5) 137 titles TMDB no longer has stay hidden.
(6) Seen in passing: signed out at 390 px the header buttons wrap to two lines (pre-existing).
## 2026-10-01 — mission 053: #15 (TVmaze) and #14 (search) merged into main (with #13)
**Merges** (on main, never pushed): `git merge t15-tvmaze` → `03edc78`, then `git merge t14-search` → `dcc5eec`.
Branches t14-search / t15-tvmaze and worktrees tracker-wt14 / tracker-wt15 removed afterwards.
**Conflicts** (both sides kept): README (intro steps 13/14/15, "What it does" sections, Test block, Files rows merged),
STATUS (all entries, newest on top), `tests/realdata-check.mjs` (#13's page list + #15's env REAL_PORT/REAL_CHROME/
REAL_OUT/REAL_SHOW; REAL_SHOTS still works), `project.hl` (imports of both), `styles.hl` (both blocks),
`tests/browser.mjs` (fixtures: movie 1005 + TVmaze episode lists + thetvdb 4004→504; screenshot list = all pages).
**Behaviour fixes from combining**: (1) #13's 32 extra fixture titles were named "Gate …" and flooded #14's "gate"
search checks → renamed "Pager Movie NN / Pager Future Movie / Pager Undated Movie / Pager Older Series"
(`tests/seed-show.hl`). (2) `search.hl` `importTitle` now calls `catalog.hl` `refreshCatalogShow` → an imported title is
on /movies, /shows and the home rows at once (+1 gate check; the offline check's home Shows row is 4 tiles now).

**Open**: `/my/unwatched` (1594 rows) is still the slowest page (server 1.2 s); not deployed; open points of #13/#14/#15
below stay (adult titles, imported titles not followed → no daily sync, …).
## 2026-10-01 — ticket #14 (mission 052, branch t14-search, worktree tracker-wt14): search
**Built**: header magnifier → `/search` / `/search/<text>` (`components/search.hl`), `search.hl` (in-memory word-prefix
index over 9453 titles + 15157 people, built at boot; TMDB `search/multi`; `importTitle` = new show record + the daily
sync's `syncShow`). Signed out: search + web work, "Add" opens the sign-in modal. Details: README "What it does (ticket #14)".
**Decisions**: address `/search/<text>` instead of `/search?q=` (hl:web gives a page no query string; `/search?q=x` opens
the empty page). Min 2 letters. ≤ 30 titles + ≤ 10 people. One TMDB request per "Fetch from web" (button, not per
keystroke). Web list leaves out what we have by TMDB id + kind. Import is not auto-follow (so the daily sync won't
refresh it later — architect's call). Genres matched to ours by name; cast not imported. People link to `/person/<slug>`
(no page yet, like the show page's cast).
**Measured on Hybriel**: a module `static x = f()` is evaluated LAZILY (never, if nothing reads `x`) — the index is built
by `ensureIndex()` called from a `project.hl` member. Static hashes/lists in a module can be mutated in place
(`buckets[k].push(i)` works, 200k pushes 174 ms). The server percent-decodes the path BEFORE routing (`%2F` → 404, invalid
UTF-8 passes through raw); a client-side navigation hands the param still encoded. A record literal entry `id = …`
shadows a local `id` for later entries (bit me: `tmdbId = id` took the new 16-hex id).
**Real data** (copy of Byrodin `storage/` 2026-10-01 ~07:00, deleted afterwards; dev server :8770, az5b2, real TMDB):
index build 0.60 s at boot (log `search index: 9453 titles, 15157 people, 4180 keys, 612 ms`); `dbSearch` 0–1 ms for
"doctor who"/"star trek"/"sopranos", 38–44 ms for "the"/"th" (2000+ candidates); server render `/search/doctor%20who`
9 ms, `/search/the` 56 ms; browser: per keystroke → results + address 56–76 ms (incl. CDP), `/search` cold 0.85 s / warm
0.04 s; Fetch from web "pluribus" 0.12–0.23 s (real TMDB); Add "Pluribus (2025)" tv 225171 → `/shows/Pluribus` in

136 passed, 0 failed
```
Fake TMDB: `/3/search/multi` (→ `fake.searchRequests`, w92 thumbs → `fake.thumbRequests`, both kept out of
`fake.requests` so the sync checks are untouched); tv 1004 + movie 1005 importable, tv 1006 in the search but 404 (the
failed import = the hybriel#121/#122 check), TVmaze thetvdb 4004 → 504. Screenshots `/tmp/w052-t14/shots/search*.png`
(+ the existing ones; header still one row at 390 with the magnifier) — looked at.
**Merge notes** (#13 likely touches the same): `project.hl` (imports, one route, `searchIndexReady` before `server`),
`components/main.hl` (the magnifier inside `userBox`), `styles.hl` (one block before the `@media` block),
`tests/browser.mjs` (fixtures at the top, a signed-out block before the "#3 borders" checks, `search` in the 390/1280 page
list, a signed-in block before "#10 THE INSTALLABLE APP"), `tests/faketmdb.mjs`, README (intro, a section, Test, Files).
**Open**: no person page (`/person/<slug>` 404s, like the cast links). Imported titles aren't followed → not re-synced.
Web search is open to signed-out visitors (one TMDB request per click; no rate limit of ours). The field's autofocus is proven
on a full load only (real-data run: `focused: searchinput`); after the client-side click on the magnifier it is not checked,
and not on a real phone.
## 2026-10-01 — ticket #15 (mission 052, worktree tracker-wt15, branch t15-tvmaze): TVmaze merge in the sync
**Built**: `tmdbsync.hl` `mergeTvmaze` (after the TMDB step, series with a tvmzId): `GET /shows/<tvmzId>/episodes`, by
S/E number: ADD missing episodes/seasons, FILL empty/placeholder titles + empty air dates; never overwrites a TMDB
value; TMDB's own placeholder ("Episode 4") no longer overwrites a real title; TMDB later adopts TVmaze rows by
number. `numberingAgrees` skips shows TVmaze numbers differently (≥ 80 % of shared S/E within 1 day or same title).
Details: README "What it does (step 15)". Tool line + totals: `tvmazeEpisodes tvmazeSeasons tvmazeFilled tvmazeSkipped`.
**Real data** (copy of Byrodin `storage/` 2026-10-01 ~07:00, deleted afterwards; procedure = ticket #8 below, server

**Open**: adds a new TVmaze-only episode on real data not yet seen live; the daily run takes ~70 s longer (1 TVmaze
request/series). Shows skipped by the numbering check get no TVmaze help (by design).
## 2026-10-01 — ticket #13 (mission 050): homepage, /movies, /shows, /my/movies
**Built**: `/` (`components/home.hl`): signed in 4 icon tiles → `/my/unwatched` `/my/schedule` `/my/shows` `/my/movies`;
for everyone the text, "Movies" (→ `/movies`, 10 latest RELEASED movies) and "Shows" (→ `/shows`, 10 series by newest
released episode) as poster rows (phone: sideways scroll inside the row; ≥ 40rem grid of 5). `/movies`, `/shows`
(`components/movies.hl`, `allshows.hl` → shared `components/tilelist.hl`): all, 24 per page, pagination =
components.hybriel `pagination.hl` copied verbatim (4b4dabe). `/my/movies` (`components/mymovies.hl`); `/my/shows` is
series only now. `catalog.hl`: lists built once at start, `refreshCatalogShow` after each synced show (`project.hl`
`syncTick`), day roll on first read of a new day. `follows.hl` `insertByFollowDesc` (moved from myshows.hl),
`shows.hl` `allShows`/`allEpisodes`.
**Decisions**: page in the PATH (`/movies/page/2`), not `?page=2` as the mission said — a component can't read the
query (hybriel#11) and Back drops it (hl:web `popstate` uses `location.pathname`), so `?page` would mean full reloads +
Back to page 1. Pagination click → host: the copied component has no data out (hybriel#87 ruling: a passed function),
so a `pager-box { on click }` around it reads the button text — no edit of the copy. One page → no pagination.
/movies = ALL movies incl. future-dated (first) and undated (last); the homepage row only released ones. Series without
a released episode come after the others, by their own `release`. Home text says episodes come from TMDB (TVmaze is
only used for ids — the mission's "TMDB/TVmaze" would be wrong). Sign-in hint only when signed out.
**Real data** (copy of Byrodin `storage/` 2026-10-01 ~06:45, deleted; `az5b2`, :8730, procedure = ticket #8 below; the

**Session-sync double rows** (team lead: since hybriel 64527baa every face taking `session` also syncs the members derived
from session; a handler that ALSO appends the returned row shows it twice): checked — no tracker handler appends, every
one assigns the whole list (`rows = r.rows`) or a flag; the new #13 pages have no faces. 4 gate checks "row appears
once" (exact count + unique button values, 400 ms after the face for a late sync): /my/unwatched click, show page
expand, episode click, Follow toggles.
Changed existing checks: the three "page stays empty" (now home content), the in-app run expects `newEpisodes=2` (the
fake TMDB adds a released episode to show 2 too, to prove the in-process re-sort). Screenshots `/tmp/w050/shots/`
(home, movies, movies-page-2, shows-list, my-movies at 390/1280 — looked at).
**Open**: (1) **adult titles** — the migrated movie table has many porn titles (e.g. on /movies page 1 and 4); they
are on the public homepage and /movies. No `adult` flag stored; the creator/architect decides (filter via TMDB `adult`,
hide unfollowed movies, …). (2) Movie posters: only followed shows/movies have real posters → nearly every movie tile is
the placeholder until the sync covers more. (3) If `?page=N` links are wanted anyway, that needs hybriel#11's query
half. (4) Real-phone check after deploy.
## 2026-10-01 — ticket #12 (mission 049): link icons to TMDB, IMDb, TheTVDB, TVmaze
**Built**: show page header badges `TMDB` `IMDb` `TVDB` `TVmaze` (`components/show.hl` `linkRows`, `shows.hl`
`externalLinksOf`, `styles.hl` `showLinks`/`a.extlink`: CSS-only monochrome badges, accent on hover), only for ids the
show has, `target=_blank rel=noopener`; a movie: TMDB (`/movie/<id>`) + IMDb. Phone: between title row and poster;
desktop: under the title. Sync (`tmdbsync.hl`): details request now `?append_to_response=external_ids` (no extra
request) → fills a MISSING imdbId/tvdbId; still no tvmzId → TVmaze `lookup/shows?imdb=`, on 404 `?thetvdb=` (550 ms
pause each, `pauseMsAfter` in both runners); never overwrites. Totals: `ids=`, `tvmazeRequests=`. New
`tools/count-external-ids.hl` (copy only).
**Bug found + fixed**: movies (`type = 'movie'`, 7814 rows, 1 followed: Star Trek: First Contact, tmdbId 199) were
synced as `/tv/199` — another title. Now `/movie/<id>?append_to_response=external_ids`: imdbId + poster only.
**Live data still carries the damage**: that record has `status = 'Ended'` and `tmdbSummary` = the overview of TV
show 199 ("Kabuhayang Swak na Swak…") — not visible (the page shows `summary`), the new sync leaves both alone; a
one-off fix (set `tmdbSummary = null`, `status` back) is the architect's call.
**Decisions**: TheTVDB link = `https://thetvdb.com/dereferrer/series/<id>` (it and `?tab=series&id=` both 301 to the
slug page, checked 2026-10-01); IMDb `/title/<tt>/`; TVmaze `www.tvmaze.com/shows/<id>`. Badges with text, not
drawn pictograms (no logos copied; legible at 0.75rem). An imdb id is only taken as `tt`+digits, a tvdb/TVmaze id
only as a number > 0. A show TVmaze doesn't know is asked again each daily run (2 lookups/day on real data).
**Real data** (copy of Byrodin `storage/` 2026-10-01 ~06:20, deleted afterwards; `tools/count-external-ids.hl`):

**Open**: real-phone tap test after deploy (new tab). Star Trek: First Contact's wrong `tmdbSummary`/`status`

## 2026-10-01 — mission 047: re-vendor Hybriel (invisible checks), mobile first, show page additions
**Bug** (live, the creator: "i dont see the check marks"): after a CLIENT-SIDE navigation (and after expand/collapse
or a check click) the check `<svg>` was built in the XHTML namespace (circle width 0). Fixed by **re-vendoring Hybriel
master ff51cf46** (bin sha256 `55a724a0…c5`, README "Vendored Hybriel"; old bin/plugins in `.scratch/pre-047/`).
Proof the new check fails on the old build: `/tmp/w047/old-build-gate.log` (`ns: http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml,
circleWidth: 0`), passes on the new one.
**Built**: `styles.hl` mobile first (phone base rules, one `@media (min-width: 40rem)` block; header one row at
390 px; /my/unwatched + /my/schedule rows two-line on a phone). Show page: phone order title (+ Follow) → full-width
poster → genres/plot/cast (desktop unchanged); season caret (down/right); episodes not indented; artists orange
`#ce9178`; unwatched check = accent outline circle + accent check; **Follow toggle** (face `showToggleFollow`,
`follows.hl` `isFollowing`/`setFollowed`: new record `at = now`, unfollow deletes); signed out checks + Follow visible,
a click opens the sign-in modal (`components/modal.hl`, copied verbatim from components.hybriel becbd59), nothing sent.
Session-sync workaround in show/myshows/unwatched/schedule: `rows` reads `me` (a plain copy of `userId`), and
`following` goes through a LOCAL static `followingOf` — an imported mpackdb helper called directly in a member
initializer came back false after a client-side navigation (gate caught it; not reduced to a minimal repro yet).
**Duplicate @ids** (hybriel#113) on a copy of live storage (2026-10-01 04:13), `tools/count-duplicate-ids.hl` + the
`*.id.txt` indexes: **0 in every table** (episodes 232384, follows 128, genres 27, persons 15157, seasons 6450, shows
9453, users 1, watches 11663 rows).
**Real data** (copy, `az5b2`, :8730, `node tests/realdata-check.mjs`, full load incl. socket + posters):
| page | 390 px | 1280 px |
|---|---|---|
| `/my/shows` (128) | 1.29 s (cold posters) | 0.24 s |
| `/my/unwatched` (1594) | 1.51 s | 1.46 s |
| `/my/schedule` (54) | 0.35 s | 0.32 s |
| `/shows/The-Librarians-The-Next-Chapter` direct / client-side | 0.14 / 0.19 s | 0.13 / 0.18 s |
Client-side nav, expand, collapse: 14/26/14 checks, 0 wrong namespace, 0 undrawn; header 46 px at 390, no sideways
scroll. Screenshots `/tmp/w047/real/*.png` (looked at). Procedure = ticket #8 below; the session id goes in
`.scratch/real-sid` (the script reads it); copy + sessions deleted afterwards.
**Gate** (76 → 101 checks):
```
TRACKER_GATE_SHOTS=/tmp/w047/shots TRACKER_GATE_PORT=8720 TRACKER_GATE_IDENT_PORT=8721 TRACKER_GATE_CHROME=8722-8726 TRACKER_GATE_TMDB_PORT=8727 node tests/browser.mjs
101 passed, 0 failed
```
Screenshots `/tmp/w047/shots/` ({home,show,my-*}-{390,1280}.png, signed-out-modal-1280.png) — looked at.
Gate note: the follow test re-follows show 1, so the sync's request order between the two shows may flip (the check
accepts both orders) and `/my/shows` after the sync has show 1 on top.
**Open**: the phone poster at full width is tall (2:3 → ~550 px on a 390 phone) — as asked, the creator may want a cap.
The unwatched (outline + check) and watched (filled) icons differ only by fill — as asked. No navigation links to
the `/my/` pages yet. Real-phone check after deploy.
## 2026-10-01 — ticket #10: installable app (PWA) + icons
**Built**: `icons/` (`icon.svg` source → `icon-192.png`, `icon-512.png`, `apple-touch-icon.png` 180; `favicon.svg`,
`favicon.ico` 16/32/48 — rsvg-convert + magick, commands in README "What it does (step 10)"); `project.hl`:
`appIcons` (192/512 × any/maskable, like calendar), `appTouchIcon`, `appFavicon`, `appThemeColor = darker.value`,
`appBackgroundColor = dark.value` (tokens), `offline = [ Home ]`, file routes for the icons, `/favicon.ico` now a
real file (was `direct = ""`); `components/main.hl` offline note + `netProbe` tick; `styles.hl` `offlineNote`,
`netProbe`, `@keyframes tracker-net-tick`; gate +12 checks.
**Decisions**: icon = a TV (antennas) with a check mark on the screen = "watched shows", green `#4ec9b0` on
rgb(25,30,35), all inside the maskable safe zone so one PNG serves any + maskable. Theme colour = `darker` (the header
bar, so the phone's status bar blends in), background = `dark`. Offline keeps only the shell/`/`; data pages get
hl:web's "Unavailable offline". The offline note is driven by `navigator.onLine`, read on a 1 s CSS-animation tick
(`animationiteration`) — hl:web has no connection-state member and no mount hook (reported as a Hybriel gap).
**Gate** (64 → 76 checks):
```
TRACKER_GATE_SHOTS=/tmp/w045/shots TRACKER_GATE_PORT=8720 TRACKER_GATE_IDENT_PORT=8721 TRACKER_GATE_CHROME=8722-8726 TRACKER_GATE_TMDB_PORT=8727 node tests/browser.mjs
76 passed, 0 failed
```
Looked at: `/tmp/w045/icon-48.png`, `icon-192.png`, `icon-512.png`, `maskable-circle.png`, `small-on-white.png`
(favicon 16/32/48), `/tmp/w045/shots/pwa-phone-{online,offline}.png` (390 px) on Loreana.
Test gotcha: CDP `setOffline` only cuts the TAB — the service worker's own fetches still reach the server, so the
gate also stops the server before the offline reload.
**Open**: offline, the header's `<ident-selector>` (script from ident's origin, not cached) shows "choose ident"
next to "Log out". No note when the device is online but the server is down. Real-phone install test (ticket's
**Test**) after deploy: open https://tracker.worldapi.org → "Add to home screen".
## 2026-10-01 — ticket #9: TMDB sync (new episodes + posters)
**Built**: `tmdbsync.hl` (`syncShow`: details + ≤ 20 seasons per request via `append_to_response`, add/update
seasons+episodes, poster w342), `tools/sync-tmdb.hl` (`--limit N`, paced, prints counts), the daily run in
`project.hl` (`syncTick` on an hl:time `every(1)` clock: at `TRACKER_SYNC_HOUR` UTC (4), once a day, ONE show
per tick, next show after n × 260 ms), `follows.hl` `allFollowedShowIds`, fake TMDB `tests/faketmdb.mjs`,
fixture shows got tmdbIds 1001/1002. Details: README "What it does (step 9)".
**Decisions**: match episode by tmdbId, else by S/E when the local one has no tmdbId (161 migrated); season by
number. Empty TMDB values never overwrite. Season 0 only if the show already has one (else specials flood
/my/unwatched); empty TMDB seasons not created. Own 16-hex ids for new rows (hybriel#113). Posters in
`storage/mpackdb/posters/` (the folder the existing `/posters/:name` route reads — inside `storage/`, so in the
backup) rather than a new `storage/posters/`. Shows synced = all followed (also Ended ones — updates happen).
Sync is off without `TMDB_READ_TOKEN` or with `TRACKER_SYNC=0`.
**Blocking**: `fetch()` blocks the whole hl:web process (measured: requests wait for the running step) — so the
run is cut into one-show steps. Real data: ~0.7 s per step average, SNL (53 seasons, 4 requests) 1.7 s; persist
of the 3 tables 36 ms.
**Real-data proof** (copy of Byrodin's `storage/` in `.scratch/realdata/`, deleted afterwards; procedure as
ticket #8 below; session file needs `created`/`seen` = now in ms, else the boot sweep deletes it):
```
set -a; . ./.env; set +a
TRACKER_STORAGE=$PWD/.scratch/realdata/storage/mpackdb ./bin/hybriel tools/sync-tmdb.hl --limit 128
tmdb sync done: shows=126 newSeasons=20 newEpisodes=800 updatedEpisodes=2651 updatedSeasons=174 posters=125 requests=380 errors=0 seconds=185.718
(again) shows=126 newSeasons=0 newEpisodes=0 updatedEpisodes=0 updatedSeasons=0 posters=0 requests=255 errors=0 seconds=89.888
```
Fresh-process recount: seasons 6430 → 6450, episodes 231584 → 232384 (exactly +20/+800, no row loss), 0
dangling season/episode refs, 0 duplicate season numbers; 12 duplicate tmdbIds + 1 wrong parent were already in
the migrated data (same before/after). 126 shows (128 follows), 125 posters (one show has none on TMDB).
In-app daily run on the copy (TRACKER_SYNC_HOUR = current hour, real TMDB): 126 shows, 255 requests, 136 s,
0 errors; `/my/shows` (signed in) polled every 0.5 s meanwhile: 181 answers, avg 0.25 s, max 4.0 s (one), then
1.8/1.7/1.4 s. Full page loads after the sync (headless Chrome, load + socket + all images):
| page | full load | rows |
|---|---|---|
| `/my/schedule` | 0.7–0.8 s | 55 (was 0) |
| `/my/shows` | 1.3–1.55 s (128 real posters now, 1 placeholder) | 128 |
| `/my/unwatched` | 1.5 s (server 1.3 s) | 1593 (was 831) |
| `/shows/The-Librarians-The-Next-Chapter` | 0.33 s | poster + new S2 (12 eps) |
Screenshots + logs: `/tmp/w044-real/` on Loreana (`after-*.png`, `real-sync{1,2}.log`, `real-lat.txt`).
**Gate** (49 → 64 checks):
```

(in-app run 4.405 s; 10 pages asked during it, slowest 1371 ms)
64 passed, 0 failed
```
Screenshots `/tmp/w044-shots/` (`synced-*.png` looked at: posters, S3, schedule rows fine).
**Deploy (architect)**: `TMDB_READ_TOKEN` must be in Byrodin's `.env` (env_file) — without it the log says
`tmdb sync: off (no TMDB_READ_TOKEN)`. First daily run 04:00 UTC after deploy; check `docker logs
tracker.worldapi.org | grep tmdb`. Or stop the container and run the tool once for an immediate catch-up.
**Open**: a step blocks requests up to ~2 s (a non-blocking `fetchStart` + `done()` state machine would fix it).
`/my/unwatched` render grew with the rows (1.3 s server, 1593 rows) — watch it against the 2 s target. A season
watch record stays solid when the sync adds a new episode to that season (existing season-watch semantics).
Dev servers get the real token from `.env` automatically → start them with `TRACKER_SYNC=0`. Shows nobody
follows are never synced (by design).
## 2026-09-30 — ticket #8: /my/ pages, S01E01, years, speed
**Built**: `/my/unwatched`, `/my/schedule` (routes in `project.hl`); old `/unwatched`, `/schedule` →
**301** (function routes `unwatchedMoved`/`scheduleMoved`). Rows as `S01E02 · <title>` (was
`Ep 2 · …`), list titles with the year `Doctor Who (2005)`, show page `1 episode` singular.
New shared helpers in `shows.hl`: `pad2`, `episodeCode`, `showYear`, `titleWithYear`,
`posterUrlOf`; in `watches.hl`: `watchedSet` (used by `/my/unwatched` and the show page's
`buildRows`; `isWatched` stays for the single-target toggles).
**Decisions**: year = `year`, else `release.slice(0,4)`, else none (197 shows lack `year`, some
have `release = ''`). Year only in LISTS (`/my/*`), not in the show page's `h1`. The 301 drops any
query (the pages take none). A row whose poster FILE is missing gets `/posters/none` (one cached
URL) instead of `/posters/<oldId>.jpg`.
**Why /my/shows was ~25 s live though its data is 0.2 s**: hl:web handles ONE request at a time.
Measured on the copy: `/my/shows` requested 1 s into a `/unwatched` render took 13.7 s (the
`/unwatched` render itself 14.5 s). Every request (pages, 128 poster requests) of every visitor
queued behind a slow `/unwatched`. Plus 128 distinct poster URLs per load, all the placeholder.
**Real-data check** (copy of Byrodin's `storage/` only, `az5b2` = user `0mujqspn0aqb`, dev
server :8730, headless Chrome, navigate → load → websocket open, 1280×900):
| page | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `/my/shows` (128 rows) | 1.2 s (server 0.19 s) | 0.6–0.8 s, 1 poster request |
| `/unwatched` → `/my/unwatched` (831 rows) | 14.8 s | 0.7–1.2 s (server 0.55–0.65 s) |
| `/schedule` → `/my/schedule` (0 rows, data not synced since 2025-12) | 0.36 s | 0.3 s |
| `/shows/The-Librarians-The-Next-Chapter` | 0.34 s | 0.29 s |

49 passed, 0 failed
```
Screenshots `/tmp/w041-shots/` (looked at: all fine).
**Open**: `/my/unwatched` rebuilds all rows per check click (~0.6 s, fine). Still no navigation
to the `/my/` pages. The single-request server means any future slow page blocks everyone —
keep every page well under 1 s. `/my/schedule` stays empty until the TMDB sync step.
## 2026-09-30 — ticket #7: /my/shows
Built `/my/shows` (`components/myshows.hl`, route in `project.hl`, styles in `styles.hl`): every
followed show, newest follow (`follows.at`, epoch ms) first — small poster (2.5rem, `/posters/…` +
placeholder like the show page), title → `/shows/<slug>`, last watched episode `SxxEyy`.
**Decisions**: "last episode" = highest (season, episode) among the user's EPISODE watches of that
show (ticket); a season watch alone doesn't count (the season check watches every episode anyway).
No watch → no episode element. A show without a poster name → `/posters/none` (the route's own
placeholder), so every row has a poster. Read-only page, no face (like `/schedule`).
**Reuse**: new `follows.hl` `followsOfUser` (whole records; `followedShowIds` now builds on it) and
`shows.hl` `episodeById` (one line); `showById`, `posterName`, `watchesOfUser` unchanged.
**Performance** (against a COPY of `storage/mpackdb/` in `.scratch/perf-store`, removed after; live
files md5-verified unchanged): the page touches only the user's follows and episode watches
(one fetch per watch), never all episodes of a followed show — az5b2's 128 follows → 128 rows (123
with an episode, e.g. `S36E11`, `S30E91`) built in **160–255 ms**. For comparison **`/unwatched`
takes ~15 s** on the same copy (805 rows): it fetches every episode of every followed show and
checks each against the user's 11,692 watches with a linear `isWatched` — not in this ticket's
scope, flagged below.
**Gate** (`tests/browser.mjs`, 38 → 45 checks; `tests/seed-show.hl` adds a 2nd show "Unwatched Gate
Show", no seasons/poster name, followed AFTER the first but stored after it; the first follow is now
dated a day back): signed out → sign-in message; signed in → newest follow first, title hrefs,
posters loaded (`naturalWidth > 0`), 40px wide, `S01E02` after /unwatched's click, later `S02E01`
(watched BEFORE season 1's bulk watch → proves highest, not most recent), none for the other show.
```
TRACKER_GATE_PORT=8720 TRACKER_GATE_IDENT_PORT=8721 TRACKER_GATE_CHROME=8722-8726 node tests/browser.mjs
45 passed, 0 failed
```
**Open**: `/unwatched` ~15 s on real data (above) — a watched-id map instead of `isWatched` per
episode would fix it (own ticket). No navigation links to `/my/shows` yet (homepage stays empty).
## 2026-09-27 — ticket #6: /schedule
Built `/schedule` (`components/schedule.hl`): every episode of a show the signed-in user follows
that is NOT yet released (`e.release > today`), soonest first. Creator: "/schedule has a similar
list without check icons for the upcoming episodes of shows followed" — same row shape as
`/unwatched` (`components/unwatched.hl`) minus the check icon.
**Reuse, not copy**: imports the exact same `followedShowIds` (`follows.hl`), `showById` /
`seasonsOfShow` / `episodesOfSeason` (`shows.hl`) that `/unwatched` already uses — nothing new
added to either file. `watches.hl` is not imported at all: a row here is never watched/unwatched,
there is no check icon and no click, so the page needed no per-user watch state and no `on server`
face — the whole component is a single read-only server-side render (`rows` computed once from
`session`, same as every other reactive member here).
**Order**: soonest first, ascending by `release` (a plain `'YYYY-MM-DD'` string, ordering
operators confirmed working against this app's own vendored `bin/hybriel`, same as `/unwatched`'s
STATUS entry) — the ticket named this the architect's own reading ("the creator named the order
only for /unwatched"), so `insertByReleaseAsc` mirrors `/unwatched`'s `insertByReleaseDesc` with
the comparison flipped.
**`decided`**: "upcoming" = `release` strictly after today (not `>=`) — the natural complement of
`/unwatched`'s own `release <= today`, so every released-or-today episode is unambiguously on one
list, never both, never neither.
**Gate** (`tests/browser.mjs`, 35 → 38 checks): reused the same fixture (`tests/seed-show.hl`,
unchanged) — episode 3 already carried a far-future release (`2099-01-01`) for `/unwatched`'s own
"excludes the future one" check; `/schedule` now proves the mirror image with the same fixture:
signed out, no rows, the sign-in message; signed in, only that one future episode shows (the two
already-released ones excluded), no `button.checkicon` anywhere on the page, unaffected by any of
the watch toggles the other checks perform on the same fixture (run in any order — `/schedule`
never reads watch state).
```
node tests/browser.mjs
38 passed, 0 failed
ps -eo pid,args | grep [h]l-browser-tier

```
Updated `README.md` ("What it does (step 6)", Test, Files) and this file.
**Open**: nothing shown on the homepage still points to `/schedule` (same as `/unwatched` before
it — the homepage stays empty per ticket #1's decision).
## 2026-09-27 — ticket #5: /unwatched
Built `/unwatched`: every episode of a show the signed-in user follows that is already released
(`release` ≤ today, a plain `'YYYY-MM-DD'` string — migrated as-is by `tools/migrate.hl`, never
run through `dateOf`) and not yet watched, newest release first (creator: "/unwatched lists all
unwatched episodes of shows followed in release date desc order").
**Reuse, not copy** (the ticket's own instruction, re "the same check icon and watch logic as the
show page"): `watchClassOf` (watched → `'checkicon solid'`/`'checkicon regular'`) was a private
`static` in `components/show.hl`; moved it to `watches.hl` so both pages import the SAME
definition instead of each declaring their own — `show.hl` now imports it too, nothing duplicated.
`isWatched`/`setWatched` (already in `watches.hl`) needed no change. New `follows.hl`
(`followedShowIds`) and `shows.hl` `showById` (one line) round out the read-only data access this
page and `/schedule` (ticket #6) both need.
**String comparison** (`e.release <= today`, `row.release >= x.release` for the desc sort):
hybriel#2 ("no ordering operators on strings") is filed as still-open in this ticket's brief, but
its own history shows it was fixed and merged to master 2026-09-25 — confirmed directly against
THIS app's own vendored `bin/hybriel` (`'2020-09-03' <= '2026-09-27'` → `true`), so no numeric
date workaround was needed.
**A View text node cannot hold an inline expression** (`"Ep " + row.episodeNumber + " · " +
row.title` inside a tag body) — same rule as View attributes (components/show.hl's own comment:
"a View attribute must be a literal, a member or a field path"), just not documented for text
nodes anywhere yet; it silently rendered `` instead of
erroring. Fixed by resolving the label into a plain field (`row.episodeLabel`) once, server-side,
in `unwatchedRowsOf` — the same pattern `show.hl`'s `buildRows` already uses for every other
ternary/concatenation. Not filed as a new Hybriel gap since it's the exact same restriction
already known and worked around elsewhere in this app, just not yet hit for interpolated text.
**Empty state**: signed out (no user, so no follows to show) and signed in with nothing unwatched
both render a message; used `.muted` (colorTextMuted), not `.message` (colorDanger) — the existing
`.message` class is for real errors (the login-failed banner), and an empty list isn't one (a
`decided`, small).
**Gate** (`tests/browser.mjs`, 29 → 35 checks): `tests/seed-show.hl` now takes an optional
`TRACKER_SEED_IDENTITY` and, when given, seeds a fixed user + a follow of the fixture show for it
— the only way to give `/unwatched` a known followed show before the browser ever signs in, since
the real login's `ensureUser` matches an EXISTING `users.db` row by `identity` and reuses its id
rather than minting a new one. The gate learns alice's per-app identity with one throwaway
`ident.exchange` call (consuming one code) before writing the seed. Episode 1/2 of the fixture now
carry a past `release` (`2020-01-01`/`2020-06-15`), episode 3 a far-future one (`2099-01-01`) —
proving both the release-date filter and the desc order. The new checks run signed out (no rows,
the sign-in message), then signed in RIGHT AFTER LOGIN, BEFORE the existing show-page checks that
toggle these same fixture episodes watched (order matters — otherwise `/unwatched` would already
be empty by the time it's tested): both unwatched episodes list newest-first, excluding the
future one; a click on the newest (`Second`, ep 2) removes it from the list; a reload proves the
watch is server-side, leaving only `Pilot` (ep 1).

Updated `README.md` ("What it does (step 5)", Test, Files) and this file.
**Open**: nothing shown on the homepage still points to `/unwatched` — no navigation exists yet
(the homepage stays empty per ticket #1's decision; a later step, from the creator, presumably
adds it). `/schedule` (ticket #6) is next and reuses `follows.hl`/`shows.hl`/`watches.hl` the same
way.
## 2026-09-27 — ticket #4: the show page, watch checks (took over a previous half-done session)
Continued from an earlier session that had built the whole page — header, seasons/episodes,
the click-handling redesign to a flat `rows` list rebuilt server-side (`components/show.hl`'s
own header comment explains why: a nested `for` over seasons > episodes risks hybriel#86) — but
left with the gate red: clicking a check never turned it solid, no console error, and the
session ran out of budget before finding why.
**The actual bug**: the show page's own pure helpers (`buildRows`, `genreRowsOf`, `castRowsOf`,
`watchClassOf`, `initialCollapsed`) were plain instance members (`buildRows = (show, …) => {…}`,
no `static`). That shape works fine as a member's own top-level initializer (`rows = found ?
buildRows(showRow, watchRows, collapsed) : []` — this is how the page renders correctly on first
load) but throws when the SAME function is called from inside an `on server` face
(`showToggleEpisode` etc.): the server log showed `'buildRows' is not callable — it holds null`.
Found by running `.scratch/debug-click.mjs` (left by the previous session) with the server's
stdout/stderr captured — the browser console itself stayed silent (the face's error never
reaches the client at all, a separate Hybriel gap, hybriel#92 already covers that half).
Confirmed the fix by grepping other worldapi apps for the same shape:
`calendar.worldapi.org/components/calendar.hl` has `static soonOf = (u) => { … upcoming(u, …) }`
(an mpackdb-backed helper), called from its `on server calLoad`/`calSettingsLoad` faces, and
calendar's own gate is green — so `static` is the proven-safe shape for a component's own helper
that both (a) touches an mpackdb-backed import and (b) needs calling from more than one place
(its own initializer AND a later face). Declared all five helpers in `show.hl` `static`; reran
the gate: 29/29 green, including the season-bulk-toggle and the reload-proves-server-side checks.
Filed **hybriel#115 was already open** (from the previous session, about the CLIENT bundle
omitting a case for such a helper) but this session's finding is the SAME root cause reaching
further than that ticket says: the plain HL interpreter on the SERVER also treats such a helper
as `null` outside its own initializer, not just the JS-compiled client bundle. Left as one
`issues` entry pointing at hybriel#115 rather than opening a near-duplicate ticket — the
repro/observed there already generalizes (a per-instance member function wrapping an
mpackdb-backed import is unreliable wherever it is called from, not just the browser).
Ran `node tests/browser.mjs`: 29 passed, 0 failed (was 20 passed / 1 failed — the click timeout
— before the `static` fix).
**Rehearsed `tools/relink-episode-seasons.hl` against a full COPY** of the real
`storage/mpackdb/` (`.scratch/relink-rehearsal/`, since removed) — the tool's own header claimed
this rehearsal already existed here; it didn't (a leftover claim from the previous session), so
this session actually ran it:
```
relink: episodes 231584, null season before 36194, linked 36194, still null (no matching season) 0
relink: episodes.db replaced with the relinked file — re-run to confirm idempotency (0 linked the second time)
```
Ran a second time on the same copy straight after — idempotency confirmed:
```
relink: episodes 231584, null season before 0, linked 0, still null (no matching season) 0
```
All 36,194 pre-existing null-season episodes (ticket #2's count) now link to a real season by
`(show, seasonNumber)`; none left over. Not run against the LIVE `storage/mpackdb/` — that needs
the tracker container stopped first (hl:mpackdb does not coordinate two processes on one storage

## 2026-09-27 — ticket #2: old data migrated (took over a previous session's rewritten tool)
Continued from an earlier session that had rewritten `tools/migrate.hl` to avoid a real data-loss
bug (see below) but never run it even once, and had left the real `storage/mpackdb/` holding data
from the OLDER, buggy two-pass version of the tool (put a bare record, then `update()` it once the
other side of a circular reference existed). Took over: moved that buggy data aside
(`.scratch/pre-migrate-buggy-backup`, since removed), kept `storage/mpackdb/users.db` (step 1's
login table, untouched by the migration), and ran the already-fixed tool for the first time.
**The fix already on disk (kept as is):** `Show.seasons`/`Season.show` and `Show.cast`/
`Person.shows` are two-way references, so the id on one side must exist before the record on the
other side can be built. The old approach — `put()` a bare record, come back with `update()` once
the far side's id exists — loses rows: reopening a table in a fresh process after an `update()` had
touched it read back FEWER rows than were ever `put()` (seen directly: `persons.db`'s `count()`
dropped 15157 → 15152 after one round of `update()` — a real `hl:mpackdb` bug, reported to Hybriel,
not something an app is allowed to patch around). The fix assigns every new id itself (8 random
bytes, `hl:crypto`) in one pass over each export file BEFORE building any record, so by the time a
record is actually built every reference is already a known id — one `put()` per row, `update()`
never called.
**Run** (`tools/migrate.hl`, `TRACKER_OLD_DATA=.../old-tracker/mongo-export`,
`TRACKER_STORAGE=$PWD/storage/mpackdb`):
```
migrate: genres 27 new, 0 already there (old 27 -> new 27)
migrate: persons 15157 new, 0 already there (old 15157 -> new 15157), show refs skipped 0
migrate: shows 9453 new, 0 already there (old 9453 -> new 9453), cast refs skipped 0, genre refs skipped 0, season refs skipped 0
migrate: seasons 6430 new, 0 already there (old 6430 -> new 6430), show refs skipped 0, episode refs skipped 0
migrate: episodes 231584 new, 0 already there (old 231584 -> new 231584), show refs skipped 0, season refs left null (pre-existing) 1
migrate: follows 128 new, 0 already there (old 128 -> new 128), show refs skipped 0
migrate: watches 11692 new, 0 already there (old 11692 -> new 11692), target refs left null (pre-existing) 3
migrate: 0 failed
```
Every count equals the old export's own document count (`old-tracker/README-RECONSTRUCTED.md`:
Show 9453, Season 6430, Episode 231584, Person 15157, Genre 27, Follow 128, Watch 11692). Ran a
second time straight after (idempotency: the tool's `oldId` index finds each row again) — every
table printed `0 new`, all rows `already there`, counts unchanged, 0 failed: the id-loss bug does
not resurface across a real close-and-reopen.
**Proof beyond the tool's own counters** (`tools/verify.hl`, new): the ticket asks for a check that
does not just trust `migrate.hl`'s own "skipped" tallies. It runs against a plain filesystem COPY
of `storage/mpackdb/` (hl:mpackdb rewrites a file's data on open, so the live store is never opened
a second time) and independently re-derives, from the persisted records alone: every table's
`count()` against the export's own document count, and — by building id sets for every table and
walking every reference field (`Show.genres/cast/seasons`, `Season.show/episodes`,
`Episode.show/season`, `Person.shows`, `Follow.show/user`, `Watch.target/user`) — that every
non-null reference resolves to a real id. It also follows one show end to end (`Raised by Wolves`,
2 seasons, 18 episodes, 1 follow, 2 season-level watches — all cross-checked back to the show).
```
$ cp -r storage/mpackdb .scratch/verify-copy && TRACKER_VERIFY_COPY=$PWD/.scratch/verify-copy ./bin/hybriel tools/verify.hl

total episodes across seasons: 18

VERIFY PASS
```
(36194 episodes with no season = 36193 that never had one in the old export, plus the 1 the tool's
own count already named as a pre-existing dangling `season` reference in the source data — neither
is a reference this migration broke; `dangling references: 0` covers exactly that.)
The single old user (`User.jsonl`, `[email protected]`, password not taken over) is this app's
user for ident short id `az5b2` (`storage/mpackdb/users.db`, the same table step 1's login uses) —
confirmed in the copy: one record, `identity=az5b2`.
**Two Hybriel bugs found while building this** (both already filed as issues on this ticket by an
earlier session, not re-filed): `hl:fs readFile` silently truncates at 10 MiB (worked around here
with `split`, no shell, no JS, see `tools/migrate.hl`'s header comment) and `hl:mpackdb` loses rows
across `update()` + reopen (the reason this tool never calls `update()`).
**Open**: nothing shown yet — this ticket is data-only, on purpose (the next step, from the
creator, is showing the data in the UI).
## 2026-09-27 — ticket #3: no border on the header or filled buttons
Design notes from the first test (architect): "the application-header should have no bottom
border" and "the buttons also no border except they are inverted". Two changes in
`styles.hl`:
- `applicationHeader`: dropped `borderBottom`.
- `ident-selector::part(button)` (the signed-out "choose ident" button): added
`border = 'none'` — the element's own CSS gave it a 1px border the same colour as its
background (`--_accent`), invisible but still a real border in the computed style; this is
the app-side restyling hook ident's README documents (`::part(button)`), not a change to
ident's vendored `selector.js`.
Left unchanged, already correct: the native `button` rule (filled, e.g. no other filled
buttons on this page yet) already has `border = '0'`; `button.quiet` ("Log out") and the
selector's dropdown `[part="identity"]` rows keep their border (transparent background —
inverted style); `a.button` ("Log in with ident") has no border rule and browsers give `<a>`
none by default. The selector's signed-in "logged in with ident" status pill
(`::part(status)`) is not one of the buttons the ticket names and isn't a button element
(a `<span>`) — left with its border.
**Gate** (`tests/browser.mjs`, now 16 checks): added computed-style checks — the header's
`borderBottomWidth` is `0px`; `#loginbutton`'s border is `0px`; the selector's
`[part~="button"]` (inside its shadow root) border is `0px`; `#logout`'s border is NOT `0px`
(still inverted-bordered) once signed in.
```
node tests/browser.mjs
16 passed, 0 failed
```
## 2026-09-27 — ticket #1 reopened: login redone to match calendar exactly (header selector, empty page)
The architect rejected the first build of ticket #1: the sign-in sat centered on the page
(its own "Sign in with ident" card, identity + sign-out shown in a `homeCard`) instead of
the header identity selector calendar/gitoria use, and there was no `<ident-selector>` at
all. Rebuilt the login by copying calendar.worldapi.org's own files (unchanged in shape, per
the architect's instruction "Copy calendar.worldapi.org's login unchanged"):
- **`users.hl`** (new): the ident exchange + a `usersTable` (`storage/mpackdb/users.db`,
`identity` → this app's user id), copied from calendar's `users.hl` with `TRACKER_KEY` /
`TRACKER_SECRET` / `TRACKER_URL` / `TRACKER_STORAGE` in place of calendar's names (kept
the names already in this app's `docker-compose.yml`/README/DECISIONS rather than
switching to calendar's generic `IDENT_API_KEY`/`IDENT_API_SECRET`).
- **`login.js`** (new): calendar's bridge between `<ident-selector>`'s `ident-login` DOM
event and the hidden `#identcode` input, copied verbatim (creator: "login.js is correct,
as thats for externals in general").
- **`components/main.hl`**: now the header carries `userBox` (`<ident-selector>` + "Log in
with ident" / "Log out"), the `trackerLogin`/`trackerLogOut` faces and the
`trackerSignedIn`/`trackerSignedOut` client push — calendar's shell renamed to this app's
event names.
- **`components/home.hl`**: now truly empty (`View { home {} }`) — no sign-in link, no
identity/sign-out duplicated on the page; that is entirely the header's job now.
- **`components/loginfailed.hl`** (new) + **`project.hl`**: the login routes are now
`/login/callback` (function route, the button's return AND the code exchange) and
`/login/failed`, copied from calendar's `project.hl` (`safePath`, `failed()`,
`loginCallback`) in place of the old `/login` + `/callback` + `/logout` routes; the old
`/logout` POST route is gone (logout is a face, like calendar's).
- **`styles.hl`**: added the header selector styles (`userBox`, `identSelector`,
`ident-selector::part(...)`, sticky header) from calendar's `styles.hl`; dropped the
now-unused `homeCard`/`accountBar`/`userName` rules from the rejected centered sign-in.
**Gate rewritten** (`tests/browser.mjs`, 12 checks): replaced the old gate (which drove
ident's full email-code UI through a vendored dev copy of ident at `.scratch/ident-dev`)
with calendar's own pattern — `tests/identkit.mjs` (copied from calendar unchanged) starts a
throwaway ident (a fresh copy of `/media/STORAGE/projects/ident.worldapi.org`'s code, no
`.env`/storage copied, codes to a mail sink, never the live ident), signs in over its REST
API and registers this app, then the gate proves the header in a real headless Chrome:
signed out → `#selector` + `#loginbutton` in the header, **`main` is empty** → sign in
(`/login/callback?ident_code=`, the same exchange the selector would trigger) → `#selector`
shows `class="in"`, `#logout` appears, **`main` still empty** → sign out → signed out again
→ a reload stays signed out. No console errors.
```
node tests/browser.mjs
12 passed, 0 failed
```
`./deploy.sh --dry-run --target .scratch/deploy-preview --url http://127.0.0.1:0/`: gate
passed as step [1/4], rsync preview held none of `storage/`, `.sessions/`, `.env`,
`.scratch/`, `server.*`, logs. Removed the stale `.scratch/ident-dev` (the old gate's vendored
ident copy) and `.scratch/browser-gate` (the old gate's storage) — unused by the new gate.
**Still open**: the app is registered in ident's dev copies only (this gate's own throwaway
ident). The LIVE ident registration (`TRACKER_KEY`/`TRACKER_SECRET` in `.env` next to
`docker-compose.yml`) is the architect's first-deploy step (README "Deploy"), not built here.
## 2026-09-27 — ticket #2: data migration — blocked twice on sandbox access, nothing done
Two workers in a row (`s-20260927T1029-f57b0f`, then this session) could not start: the
migration source the ticket names, `/media/STORAGE/projects/old-tracker/mongo-export/*.jsonl`
+ its `README-RECONSTRUCTED.md`, is not reachable from this worker's sandbox. Verified fresh
this session:
```
$ ls -la /media/STORAGE/projects/
antcolony-docs hybriel ident.worldapi.org tracker.worldapi.org # no old-tracker
$ mount | grep STORAGE
/dev/nvme1n1p6 on /media/STORAGE/projects/tracker.worldapi.org type btrfs (rw,...)
/dev/nvme1n1p6 on /media/STORAGE/projects/hybriel type btrfs (ro,...)
/dev/nvme1n1p6 on /media/STORAGE/projects/ident.worldapi.org type btrfs (ro,...)
/dev/nvme1n1p6 on /media/STORAGE/projects/antcolony-docs type btrfs (ro,...)
# old-tracker is not among the mounted subvolumes at all
```
So this is not a data problem (the export is "complete" per the ticket) — it's the worker
sandbox for this ticket that never got `old-tracker` mounted (read-only, like `hybriel` /
`ident.worldapi.org` / `antcolony-docs` above). Nothing was built or changed this session:
no `storage/`, no `tools/`, no id-mapping — writing the migration tool blind, guessing the
JSONL shape from the ticket text alone, risks silently wrong data and was avoided on purpose
(see the project's "Build it properly" rule). Filed as an antcolony issue so the next worker's
sandbox includes `old-tracker` before another attempt.
## 2026-09-27 — ticket #1: the empty shell, ident login
Built the app from scratch: vendored `bin/hybriel` + `plugins/` + `shared/tokens.hl` from
`ident.worldapi.org` (newest local build, hybriel master 837fe120, no local patch — see
README "Vendored Hybriel"). `project.hl` (routes `/login`, `/callback`, `/logout`, `/`),
`components/home.hl` (the empty homepage), `components/main.hl` (shell), `styles.hl`
(accent green `#4ec9b0`, per `antcolony/README.md` "look and style" / `CONCEPT.md`).
`docker-compose.yml` / `Dockerfile` / `deploy.sh` following ident's own house pattern
(port 45008, container `tracker.worldapi.org`).
**Login**: the ident login BUTTON flow (ident.worldapi.org README "How apps use ident"),
server-side exchange (`POST <ident>/api/exchange`), this app's own framework session
(`session.user = { identity }`, cookie `trackersid`). ident hands over only the identity's
public **short id** — no display name yet (ident#11, properties handover, is on hold) — so
"your name" on the homepage is `Signed in as <shortid>`, the same identifier every other
worldapi app would show; see `decided` in the report.
**Lesson (Hybriel)**: a face that mutates `session.user` (e.g. `signOut`) does NOT
automatically re-render the page — a component's reactive members (`signedIn`, `identity`,
…) are computed once at mount from the framework's read-only session snapshot; a client
handler that calls `emit server X()` must ALSO flip the affected members itself afterwards
(ident's own `components/home.hl` `on doSignOut(e)` does exactly this: `emit server
signOut()` then `signedIn = false` …). Missing that made the sign-out button silently do
nothing client-side (the ack came back `ok:true`, the server-side session really was
cleared — proven by a reload — but the DOM never updated) until copied.
**Gate** (`tests/browser.mjs`, 13 checks): a fresh copy of `ident.worldapi.org`'s code (no
`.env`, no `storage/`, no `.sessions/` — verified empty of secrets/data before first use)
runs as this gate's own ident, on its own storage and its own mail sink (no live ident, no
real mail). The gate registers this app in that dev ident once over the `/__hl/emit` API
(the same one-time step a person does by hand in ident's `/apps` page), then drives the
REAL login-button flow in a real headless Chrome: signed out → click "Sign in with ident" →
ident's email form → the mail-sink code → the first-login optional-names form (Skip) → the
one-identity choice (one click) → back on tracker, "Signed in as `<shortid>`" → "Sign out" →
signed out again → a reload stays signed out. No console errors. Ran twice for stability, 0
failures; no leftover Chrome/hybriel processes after either run.
```
node tests/browser.mjs
13 passed, 0 failed
```
`./deploy.sh --dry-run --target .scratch/deploy-preview --url http://127.0.0.1:0/` (a local
directory, per ident's own convention for testing deploy.sh without touching Byrodin): gate
passed, rsync preview held none of `storage/`, `.sessions/`, `.env`, `.scratch/`, `server.*`,
logs — confirmed by the same grep the script refuses on.
**Open**: the app is not registered with the LIVE ident yet — `TRACKER_KEY`/`TRACKER_SECRET`
are unset until the architect's first deploy does that (README "Deploy"); until then
`/login` on the live site answers a plain error page instead of redirecting (`/` itself
still renders). This is normal for a brand-new app, the same as ident's own SMTP `.env`
before its first deploy — not something this ticket's worker can set (no `.env` access,
and it is a LIVE ident registration).
