Inspection is split into prepare (database), probe (lib/content/probe:
downloads, decoding and parsing, no database) and apply (database).
worker:collection runs all three; seed:node with SEED_INSPECTORS leases
jobs from the same queues through the seed API (BullMQ manual leases),
fetches articles through the seed API and posts the probes back.
A node now needs only SEED_URL and SEED_TOKEN: the settings the app
requires but a node never uses get placeholders for seed:node.

Inspection lists only the entries whose headers are in the first segment
of a first volume. A walk hops from header to header, fetching one segment
per entry and volume, in its own queue (one job per collection worker) on
NNTP connections inspection isn't waiting for. content:walk-archives queues
releases inspected earlier (CONCEPT D40).

Spotnet (CONCEPT D29):
- Index free.pt fully and import spots with their descriptions, categories
and NZBs; a spot renames its release, since Spotnet names are more
trustworthy than names derived from subjects.
- Find passwords in spot descriptions too, and tell "needs a password we
have" from "needs a password we don't have".
Content inspection:
- List the contents of 7z (.7z.001) archives, SFV sets, nicovideo uploads
and other archive-like files; mark yEncBin .bin containers as encrypted.
- Take real names from yEnc headers for randomly named files, and merge
uploads that were split across posts.
Storage (D31, D32):
- Store segment lists zstd-compressed behind the FileStore accessor.
- group:backfill indexes older headers at low priority and pauses when
the NVMe or HDD part of the database gets too large.
Grouping (D35, D36):
- Lone header segments wait in staged_segments until a second segment of
their file arrives, which drops the per-article junk binaries.
- Counter grouping joins random-subject uploads by poster, [i/M] counter,
part count and day.
Search and maintenance (D33, D34):
- A trigram-indexed search_text column, smaller indexes, estimated stats.
- Passes that clean up nonsense names; weekly index maintenance; GC budgets
per kind.
- Web UI: grey out stale results while a search runs and cancel superseded
requests. Count only up to 1,000 matches for the page, which made filter
clicks take seconds (Newznab keeps the 10,000 cap).
