Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 5109481d67 The Rust worker is the product: edge/, built and checked in CI
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 46s
Test and deploy / edge (push) Successful in 1m54s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 2m56s
User: Rust is the product (option a). tools/edge-bench-rs moves to edge/
(crate edge; binaries edge-node, the worker, and edge-bench, the replay).
CI's new job edge runs cargo test and edge/check-fixtures.sh: both
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),
compared field by field with check.ts; deploy waits for it. The
TypeScript RangeIndexer stays as check.ts's reference. README: what it
is now; the benchmark findings as history.

Random names: looksRandom missed long tokens of capitals and digits
("51294P1CUKR2R35X", release 74539068, readable and a Newznab title).
12+ capitals and digits switching 6+ times between them are random
(COD4MW2REMASTERED switches 4 times, BEATLES1964REMASTER twice); both
implementations, identical on the fixtures.

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 92480174b9 Search and the web interface use the prober's findings
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 48s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 2m27s
- Search matches a word in the name or the inner name (trigram index on
  inner_name, partial, built concurrently); "Readable names" includes
  releases with an inner name.
- unlocked=1 (chip "No password") leaves out passworded releases.
- Results carry passworded and innerName: a Password badge, the inner
  name under the release name.
- The release view: Inside and Inspected facts, a passworded notice, and
  Contents (per probed article its yEnc name, kind, type, encryption and
  the names inside) from release_inspections.
- Newznab: the password attribute from the prober; an obfuscated release
  with an inner name is included, titled by it (without its extension).

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 4ed7f89951 Prober: no packaging or release-name-plus-extension as inner name
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 43s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m18s
Lone candidates are often par2 volumes of random-named sets
("42507096….vol007+08.par2"): their yEnc name was taken as the inner
name. Packaging names are skipped for lone files too, and a name that
starts with the release's own name says nothing new.

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 738402aefa Prober: an inspection per candidate; no inner name that is the release's name
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 53s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m53s
A release can have several candidates of a kind (two RAR sets): keyed by
(release, kind) both landed in one upsert ("ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
command cannot affect row a second time"), and the batch was lost.
release_inspections is keyed by candidate now; the first run's results
are cleared and probed again. A random-named file's yEnc name is often
its random name: an inner name equal to the release's name is dropped.

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 8bd6d6aa5f Rebuild: phase 2's prober reads the probe queue
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 50s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m46s
probe:run (compose service prober, PROBE_CONNECTIONS, default 6) claims
waiting candidates of settled releases (lone, then par2, then archive),
fetches each article with BODY over connections of its own (no
compression) and inspects it: the yEnc name and size, the content type
from the first bytes, a par2 set's files, a RAR volume's entries and
whether they're encrypted. Results per release and kind in
release_inspections (CHUNK_TABLESPACE, the HDD); on the release
passworded, inner_name (the largest content name) and inspected_at.
430 = missing, not yEnc = error, both final; connection trouble puts
the candidate back.

Fetch and parse in one process: an article takes ~0.1 s per connection,
parsing a few ms (no queue in between). Parsers from voyager 1 (lib/yenc,
lib/rar, lib/par2, lib/content sniff) with their tests; XoverClient.body;
yencode.

Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 25s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 2m29s
Writers lock their group only, so two groups' batches can number the

duplicate key ...:65, HTTP 500, the batch retried). Releases are now
inserted with ON CONFLICT (release_key) DO NOTHING, and those skipped
take the next number (up to 20 tries).

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 fc1c64d5c0 Rebuild: drop NUL from batches; chunk deadline 180 s
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 24s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 1m0s
A file name with a NUL ("…Brutal Erpresst.ra\u0000…") failed every
batch of range 155595 (HTTP 500, jsonb: \u0000 cannot be converted to
text), so the range looped. fromWire drops NUL from every string.

The chunk deadline was given up 258 times in 3 hours at 300 s (~1.4 a
minute, each holding a connection for 5 minutes): 180 s.

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 8475969145 Rebuild: hedged chunk fetches and connection max age (both off by default)
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 24s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Skipped
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 cfe85abc3e Rebuild: chunks the server's compression cuts short are fetched plain
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 23s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Skipped
Eweka sends some ranges' compressed XOVER truncated, the same bytes
every time, while the plain reply is whole (a.b.models 3317215-3367214:
1,675,600 bytes that don't inflate, twice; 50,000 lines plain;
tools/false_end.ts). Not a false end of reply. The worker's corrupt
report removed the chunk and the range was fetched again, with the same
bytes: one range was reported 540 times. (Before this morning's change
the inflate check waited for more data until the 10-minute timeout,
like voyager 1's 'chunk never answered' ranges.)

A reported chunk's start goes into ranges.plain_chunks; the prefetcher
fetches those over one connection without XFEATURE COMPRESS GZIP
(NntpPool.usePlain, opened on demand) and deflates them here. A plain
chunk reported again sets the range aside (status failed, error). The
capture (edge:bench --capture) fetches such a chunk plain too.

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).

  (estimates, plus history and tail progress), /health. Open, as voyager
  1's catalog; the web interface uses it.

  contents, a generated column with a (category, posted_at) index.

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.

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

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).

- Prefetcher: every connection takes the next missing chunk (leased
  ranges first, in order); one connection per range (~26k lines/s) kept
  the worker waiting
- executable rule: releases of bare executables (malware floods named
  after films and software) are dropped; they were 92% of the catalog rows
  of the test ranges, 21% of the segments
- fragments per file (details once) and gzipped batch bodies; the JSON
  limit (1 MB by default) raised to 256 MB, empty strings kept (a rule
  count's key is '')
- release_chunks.batch_from is a bigint (boneless article numbers)
- tests get their own database; edge:bench --store times BatchStore:
  1.3 s for a boneless range (1.24 ms per release chunk)

  spool, batches, heartbeat, finish, release (node guard, token per node)
- edge:node: needs COORDINATOR_URL and NODE_TOKEN only (placeholders for
  the rest), posts a batch every 10 chunks, gives its range back on SIGTERM
- releases are gathered per batch: 1.04 chunk rows per release at 10
  chunks per batch (1.35 when built per XOVER chunk)
- partitions are checked per batch instead of remembered

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 20910647fa Rebuild: the batch store (catalog upserts, write-once chunks, candidates, rule counts, fragments, resume point)
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 20s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Skipped
A batch is stored in one transaction and only at its range's resume
point, so a retried batch can't count twice. Garbage is judged before
per-article: a dropped tool isn't worth reading bodies for either.

garbage, per-article, incomplete), a sample of what was dropped, and

Postgres instead of SQLite (its own database, DB_SEARCH_PATH for a
shared one in development) and the #lib alias. Phase 1's code is

Every probe rewrote its file's row on the HDD (content_type, archive):
a new row version on a random page and an entry in each of the five
indexes. They now live in file_details on the NVMe; files rows are
inserted once. files:move-details copies the existing values after
the deploy; a later migration drops the old columns.

Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 57s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 4m18s
passwordFromSpot finds 30 more passwords in the stored descriptions (480
→ 510): words between keyword and separator, trailing "!!", the value on
the next line, "wachtwoord is x", "… wachtwoord. Deze is: x", "WW x" as a
whole line.

Listed spots were read from their overview only, so the NZB's own
password and the description were unknown for 2.27M of them.
SpotService.readListing reads the spot's article and NZB without
importing files: details, the NZB password (over a spot-text one), the
spot-text password, placeholder NZBs. worker:spots does a batch when
idle; spot:postprocess works through the history (nzb_read_at).

Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 1m0s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 2m33s
Random-named uploads that never get a real name or password were ~90% of
what seeding stores. Two filters:

- before storing (seeding, ingest): random-named uploads of a dropped
  signature (posting tool from the Message-ID, first group) or of a
  release dropped after its probe aren't stored; 2% of a dropped
  signature's releases are still kept and probed. Stored files of dropped
  signatures aren't probed.
- after a probe: a random-named release that is still unnamed, without
  password, names from files or spot, with all its probes done, and
  encrypted, a container or missing its first article, is deleted and
  tombstoned in dropped_releases.

Signatures are learned by gc:scheduler from a sample of probed releases
(signature_probes); garbage:learn --seed fills it from existing files.

5.4M waiting inspection jobs took 3.3 GB of Redis and most of its single

Creating a partition deadlocked with file inserts 11 times in an hour, and

locked first (lock_timeout 10 s), four partitions are kept ahead, and an
error is logged while the sweep goes on.

Eweka answers 'no such article' after ~450 ms; a quarter of inspection

to three times. Files get content_type 'missing' instead; homelab also
records it from failure reports of nodes not rebuilt yet.

Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 1m24s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 6m43s
Par2 naming needs the fingerprint inspection stores on a binary, and the
GC deleted seeded binaries (6 h unfingerprinted, 48 h stale) long before
the inspection queue reached them. binaries.awaiting_inspection protects
them for up to 7 days; the GC deletes use partial indexes so they don't
read past waiting rows. Seeding no longer creates binaries for files that
aren't inspected (~85% of a.b.ath), which only churned the table.

Half the live leases go to higher-priority ranges, the rest to the others,

- binaries.part_count, kept by the parts insert in the same statement:

- file_keys: 64-bit hashes of all file keys; FileStore.insert asks it
  before probing every files partition.
- worker:file stores 100 completed binaries per job with set-based queries.
