Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 e1d21d1e7c Identity: a set's number before yEnc is no size; names after an arrow
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 49s
Test and deploy / edge (push) Successful in 1m59s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 2m6s
- The unit-less size before the closing yEnc ('"x.mp3" - 8123 yEnc') took
  the set number in 'Newstar Destiny I set 1 [1 of 60] "destiny-001-001.jpg"
  yEnc' once the quotes were gone: 97 sets of 60 were one release. A number
  of fewer than 4 digits after a word stays.
- unquotedName also cuts after "-> " ("… -> [0001 of 0076] ->
  Exclusive-tgirls_000000-lg.jpg"): the arrow was part of the file name.

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 18a146e130 Image sets: keyed by set without words around them; px, ImageVenue, spaced repeats
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 46s
Test and deploy / edge (push) Successful in 2m4s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 2m17s
- An image whose subject has no words ("##[ "diana-040-001.jpg" (01/68)")
  is keyed by its set, not its name without numbers: a poster's 263 diana
  sets were one release of 17,808 images.
- imageSet strips "-2048px" and ImageVenue's "_123_244lo", and reads a
  spaced suffix ("she has sensual legs 172 _ 172") as one.

Each image was a release of its own in: "Set 008  10of63  new0464.jpg",
"202/430  princess-079-058.jpg", "( 098 /500)  002 148.jpg" (the counter
is part of the name: the set is the text before it),
"sexypattycake_0903040445[1].jpg" (a copy's marker), "092_081_2000x1500.jpg"
(a resolution) and "KP0027_197_00.jpg" (a constant suffix).

- The file total is read from the subject without the file name, as with a

  of 866 images a release of its own.
- imageSet: "_N" right after a number is a renumbering ("kate108lg029_28"
  once an image was skipped), and a trailing camera timestamp
  ("kurozo-2006-7-26-15-21") numbers no set.

"051 - White leather kate054001_1_1.jpg": the index is inside 054001
(set 054, image 001) and _1_1 repeats it, but only a suffix equal to the
whole number before counted as a repeat, so the set kept 054001 and every
image was a release (Duke's threads: 2,791 releases of 3,251 files). A
suffix that the number before ends with is a repeat as well. Both
implementations; tests; fixtures identical.

The set bound cut at an image name's last number, but in many threads
that's a suffix, so every image was a set ("It does my heart good to see
Red Dog dancing again": 4,683 releases of 4,730 files): a repeat of the
index (katelg010_10), a year (hgrscans1097_2009), a size
(pj02kristina_24of40_1600), an "of" total (24of40). imageSet drops
those, then cuts at the last number (cutie-071-032 stays cutie-071-).

Test and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 2m1s
Without a file counter a subject-named image release was bounded by the
image's name with all numbers removed:
- STIRILING SILVER's sets stp250x…stp465x became one 44k-image release
  (all "stp x"); picture threads of many sets (keira_s04, keira_s05,
  perla_s01, apneatic-7, -8 …) one release each.
- Free-text names without numbers ("JimAndJoey Kindly Husband-to-Be.JPG")
  made each image a set: one thread was 1,177 releases.
The bound is now the name up to its last number with its digits
("stp250x", "keira_s05_l keira_s05_", "apneatic-7-"), and nothing for a
name without numbers. models fixture: 172 -> 754 releases, by set. Both
implementations; tests; fixtures identical.

  the file name, the real one stayed in the subject: every file a release.
  It gives way to a file name with an extension beside it
  (nameBesideQuotes); random quoted names with none beside keep theirs.
- Split parts numbered with two digits ("Admiral.EP05.2008.720p.Rus.

Releases of one file whose counter announces many (910k of 3M after the

- An unquoted name with double spaces ("lara_bath  15of19 larabath_2.5.jpg",
  "Luisa:     (068 of 160)"): the subject is collapsed, the name wasn't,
  so it stayed in the remainder; it's taken out collapsed too.
- Audiobook and album tracks keyed by their own name ("RP - File 268 of
  295 - \"… Seeing A Large Cat - D11.16-22.mp3\"", "CANDYD :: \"Candy
  Dulfer - Candy Store - 11 - everytime.mp3\""): by the name without its

Old picture groups split every image into a release (the reset's first

262k): "Aletta Ocean - \"100628-035.jpg\" yEnc [347K]" kept its size in
the remainder, and "Corie - \"2877-041.jpg\" yEnc [290K]" named its set
with one word, which namesRelease (two words) refused, so the image's
own name keyed it. Sizes like [347K] (and a cut-off "336573 byt") are
removed; for images a one-word subject (3+ letters) names the set. On
100k high-heels articles: 4,509 releases -> 192. Both implementations;

Most "obfuscated" subjects of older and smaller groups name their file
without quotes ("DVDFab 8.2.0.5.rar (006/332)", fta's "q3B9…part023.rar
(104/137)", "New_Super_Mario_Bros._[Keygen].exe (1/2)") or with one
quote ("[keira_s04_0037_l.jpg\" yEnc] (2/2)"): 100% of ath 2013's and
fta's, 94% of models' (LOG.md 2026-10-11 (5)). With a segment counter and
no quoted name, unquotedName takes the name before a lone quote (after a
"[", else after the last space), else the text when it ends in a file
name (after "] " or " - "), else its first word that is one; a file
counter stuck in a bracket is dropped. The release identity takes such a
name out of the subject as it would quotes (else every image of a set
was a release: 9,130 instead of 267 on the models fixture).

Both implementations; a fourth fixture (fta, 25k lines) and tests; check
identical on all four. Truly random subjects (ngPost hex = message-id,
random tokens) stay obfuscated.

User: Rust is the product (option a). tools/edge-bench-rs moves to edge/

RangeIndexers on three committed captures (edge/fixtures, 25k overview
lines each of a.b.models, a.b.ath and a.b.boneless in 5 chunks, 3.5 MB),

its random name: an inner name equal to the release's name is dropped.

A worker waited on one chunk of a leased range for an hour (range

"stream: Peer disconnected" overnight). The silence timeout doesn't
catch a reply that trickles: a chunk still coming in after
NNTP_CHUNK_DEADLINE_SECONDS (300) is given up, its connection closed,
and fetched again. The report names the oldest request in flight (range,
chunk, age, bytes in) and counts deadlines.

Batches failed with "Maximum call stack size exceeded" (8 overnight):
Math.min(...segments) on a fragment with more segments than the stack
takes arguments.

A chunk not in after NNTP_HEDGE_AFTER_SECONDS (10) is asked again on one
of NNTP_HEDGE_CONNECTIONS spare connections; the first answer wins and
the other connection is closed (lib/nntp/hedge.ts, tested). Connections
can be retired after NNTP_CONNECTION_MAX_MINUTES (±25%). The prefetch
report counts hedges and slow first requests by connection age.

Homelab, 15 min each: hedging on (40 + 6) 280k articles/s, off 273k.
The second request won about half of its races, but ~25-35% of first
requests were slow (>10 s) at every connection age, so neither helps:
Eweka is slow under our load, not on particular connections. Both
off by default; the age statistics stay.

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 0613984de9 Rebuild: re-uploads are releases of their own
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 26s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Skipped
A poster re-uploading under the same name made one release of all
uploads: in a sample, 24% of releases with 2+ files had a file name more
than once (4.3% of files extra copies), 70% of those copies posted a day
or more apart; their NZBs listed each copy.

- File assembly keeps a re-upload's copy apart: a part already in every
  open copy, posted more than 3 h from them, starts another copy; a
  missing part fills the nearest copy (a re-send of what was missing),
  a re-sent part near a copy that has it is ignored as before.
- A key's files in a batch split into uploads where posting pauses for
  more than 3 h, counted from the latest article posted so far (a file
  that takes hours to post doesn't split it); each upload is judged and
  chunked on its own (ReleaseChunk.upload, .postedLast; candidates carry
  their upload).
- The catalog matches a chunk to the release of its key whose articles
  the range's group owns and whose posting window is within 3 h, else
  starts one (key, key:2, …): releases get identity_key, group_id,
  last_posted_at. Keys are locked in order (advisory locks), so
  concurrent batches neither deadlock nor both start one; the merger
  writes in key order too. The same upload multi-posted to other groups
  is a release per group.
- The gap: 91% of uploads post within 3 h; 73% of re-uploaded copies
  come later (releases:upload-gaps). releases:duplicates measures the
  duplicate names.

Both implementations; check.ts compares the windows and uploads too
(identical on all captures; Rust tests mirror the TypeScript cases).

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 d0f3497ec9 Rebuild: completeness as indexed, file totals from any counter, pausable tails, progress by articles
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 21s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Skipped
- releases.complete is computed with every batch (files >= the
  counter's total) instead of only when a release settles after 6 quiet
  hours: the 'complete' filter matched nothing in a fresh catalog.
- A release's file total comes from any counter form (counterTotal:
  '(01/10)', 'File 27 of 132', …), not only [i/M]; the post rule's key
  keeps the [i/M] total, so keys are unchanged. Both implementations.
- groups.tail: a group's live tail can be paused (its history and owner
  priority stay), e.g. to let other groups' history go first.
- Stats: history by articles, and the current pass (history ranges
  before those deferred 2000 priorities behind) as its own figure; the
  header showed 0.1% of ranges counting 145k deferred ones.

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 14758a5b7a Rebuild: image sets, documents and audio albums as releases
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 22s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Skipped
Picture groups made a release per image: 501k single-file releases in
the first 24 ranges of the bottom 500 groups (a.b.models 385k), ~120M
for all of them. Counters written out ('File 027 of 132', '[12of42]',
'104 of 472', '[2239-6389]', '02/17', '0097-1574'; only when the first
number is at most the second, so '[1948-12]' stays) and per-file sizes
('76.88 MB', '335555 Bytes') kept every subject unique.

- subjectRemainder removes those counters and sizes, and empty brackets.
- A subject-named release is bounded by its counter's total
  (counterTotal: the first form found): uploads a poster names alike
  stay apart, an upload's files (par2, nfo) together.
- Images and audio tracks don't take the poster-tag rule: the subject
  names the set or album. An image set without a counter: the image's
  name up to its last number, without numbers.
- Documents and comics (pdf, epub, mobi, azw3, djvu, cbr, cbz, cb7, chm,
  lit, doc, docx) are a release each: collections post hundreds under
  one subject ('cw-horror&mystery').

releases:regroup --group re-keys a group's indexed releases together:
cheerleaders 55,741 -> 3,165 releases, models 385,298 -> 40,313, German
audiobooks 4,106 -> 1,724, playstation 3,309 -> 2,345; comics and
e-books a release per item; boneless unchanged. Ported to edge-bench-rs;
check.ts: identical on all captures.

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 59481037fb Rebuild: a poster's constant tag no longer makes one release of all their uploads
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 28s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Skipped
Release 145637 held four albums: the poster puts '[KiLL.dA.FuCkIn.
EaStErRaBbIt]----' before every upload, and the text outside the quotes
(when it names a release) was the key with the poster. The same made
one release of a poster's albums under '(PowBeertje80 Posted)' (a post
id, with the same [i/M]), of masterposts' films, and of one volume of
every set in a DVD9 post.

Now, when the file's stem describes something itself (12+ letters and
digits, two words of 3+ letters) and the text outside the quotes shares
no word with it (4+ letters as part of the stem, 3-letter words and
numbers whole; boilerplate like www/net/posted not counted; no 5+ digit
per-post id), that text is taken for the poster's tag and the stem
says which release the file is. Albums of track files ('FTA … Ketchup'),
'DIE_ZEIT_35' with '35_China_dl', 'FTD769997' posts, scene names with
abbreviated file names ('grp-sm') and generic sidecars ('file_id.diz')
keep their grouping.

releases:regroup re-keys a sample of the catalog with the current rule:
on homelab's test data 145637 → 4 albums, 111566 → 17 albums of 27
files, the rest of the subject releases that change mostly lose an ad
image ('Flyer-download-2-Day.gif'); stem releases unchanged. Ported to
edge-bench-rs: check.ts still finds all captures identical (ath 2013:
16 → 76 releases on both sides).

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 fd0f2bde75 Rebuild: the live tail
coordinator:run plans the articles after each group's last range every
TAIL_EVERY_SECONDS (120): one LIST ACTIVE per name prefix gives every
group's newest article, and new articles become ranges at priority -1,
leased and prefetched before any history. A group gets a tail range once
it has TAIL_MIN_ARTICLES (100k, a chunk) new or its last planning is
TAIL_MAX_DELAY_MINUTES (15) ago, so quiet groups don't make a range every
round. History (planAll, hourly) is now only for groups not planned yet.
ranges:plan --tail plans one round.

Found on the way: with XFEATURE COMPRESS GZIP on, Eweka compresses LIST
ACTIVE's reply too ("215 NewsGroups Follow [COMPRESS=GZIP]"), and
listActive waited for a plain end that never came (groups:add --top too).
It reads the compressed reply now; the fake server in the test does both.

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 a979b5d11c Rebuild: the coordinator spools replies without inflating them
On homelab (1 Gbit, 20 connections, ~630k articles/s) the coordinator
used 1.3-1.7 cores, mostly GC of the text it inflated only to know a
compressed reply was complete, plus a copy of every reply. A raw reply
is now complete when it ends in ".\r\n" (no copy): 0.4-0.5 cores at
the same rate.

".\r\n" can also end a network read inside the compressed data (~1 in
16M reads, a few dozen times over the whole target). Such a chunk
doesn't inflate on the worker: it reports it (POST ranges/:id/corrupt),
the spooled chunk is removed and the range goes back to the queue; the
prefetcher fetches it again. The rest of that reply breaks the
connection's next command, so the connection is replaced.

It waited for every chunk in flight, and a connection the server held
back (after killed coordinators left sessions open) waits up to the

15 s, then closes all connections, busy ones too; the greeting and login
time out after 30 s. And run() ends with terminate(), as edge:node does.

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 cae6e4f60d Rebuild: prefetch stats a minute; the completeness check inflates off the event loop
The coordinator logs a line a minute: chunks fetched, articles/s,
seconds a chunk, how busy its connections were. It showed the
workstation's runs are bound by its 100 Mbit line now (10 connections
99% busy, ~89 Mbit/s: compressed XOVER is ~69 B an article on recent
boneless), not by the code.

The check that a compressed reply is complete (inflating it) ran on the
coordinator's event loop, ~60 ms a chunk; now on a thread-pool thread.

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 9dc0a27bb4 Rebuild: a lease never waits for prefetching; one-shot hashes
A lease was only granted for a range with spooled chunks, and the
prefetcher kept ranges ahead per active lease: once the spool ran dry a
worker got none and slept 30 s, fewer ranges were leased, fewer
prefetched. Three workers held one lease between them (~50k headers/s).
A lease now takes a spooled range first, else the next planned one
(leased ranges are fetched first; the stream waits).

crypto.hash instead of createHash().update().digest() for file and
release keys: same digests, ~2.5x faster (~4.6% of a worker's time).

Files cut by a range's edge are put together once the ranges around them

missing parts while both neighbouring ranges are done is dropped and
counted (incomplete/edge). A neighbour not planned yet counts as not done,
except before the group's oldest article. BatchStore.writeReleases is the
shared write path.

Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 21s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Skipped
Measured on two neighbouring boneless ranges (merging their fragments):
- 99.8% of fragment files were single articles of a random-named
  'file' of >100 parts: a random subject per article, which never
  completes from headers. They now count as per-article.
- A file is kept as a fragment when its first part seen is above 1 and
  comes within the start window (the idle window: uploads in busy groups
  spread over minutes, and a 50k-article edge zone is ~30 s of boneless),
  or when it was still open at the range's end with later parts missing.
  Anything else missing parts is incomplete and only counted.
Per range: 70,308 → 130 fragment files; merged, 47 of the 48 files met
complete (57,558 segments, ~8% of the range's kept segments).

Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 21s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Skipped
End to end (workstation, recent a.b.boneless ranges from the spool): a 2M
range in 10–12 s, 166k–202k headers/s per worker process (edge:bench on
one core: 215k).

- Prefetcher: spooled_at was set against a total counted from the range's
  resume point, which shrinks as the worker advances: the last chunks were
  never fetched and the worker waited. Now counted against the whole
  range, only new chunks counted, and leased ranges are always checked
  against the files. Planned ranges ahead are bounded (it had spooled ever
  more); the spool size is measured every 30 s (a stat per file).
- The stream sends an empty frame every 20 s while waiting for a chunk
  (Node's fetch gave up on a quiet body after 5 minutes).
- A range taken over midway: the first batch starts at the resume point
  (it started at the range's start and was refused).
- edge:node inflates the next chunk on the thread pool while indexing the
  current one, and doesn't wait for a post before indexing on (posts stay
  in order; a failed post stops the range).
