00- files are keyed by artist and total, the par2 by its stem, so ~1,900 Meow
and Cat posts were two releases. Under a counter a stem that reads as a scene
music release (artist-…-web|cd|ep|single|vinyl|…-…YYYY(-group)) takes the
artist key. And "goh1Phoz5ahXu.par.vol006+08.par2", "X.part.par2" beside

hep, hephaestus and gyges post each file under a subject name of its own

one stem per counter total. The merger's second pass joins releases whose
lone inspections share a random stem: one group and poster, the same total,
within 48 h, no more files than the total plus 10. An expression index over
the stem; release_merges records the kind (via) and takes a stem.

Every kantodoNNN.bin test upload carries the same par2 set: 64 releases held

A par2 index and its repost both hold a set: moving both rows to the target

20:28 UTC (no merges at all). Duplicates among the others go first; a set that
fails is logged and the round goes on.

The spool only fetches what workers lease soon, in priority order, and the

The settler marks a settled release's candidates ready (and unreadable when

from random points of the queue; in its newer half nothing had settled, so
a slice scanned to the end (0.3 s each, 20 slices and 5 tiers a claim) and

[newzNZB] [01/22]") goes from the subject: nEwZ[NZB]'s 32,101 single files.
- A stem that starts with a date is specific enough for the poster-tag rule
("09-30-2008_CTC.r00" under "#sterntuary - Coast To Coast Radio Show":
still one release of 25,188 files, the stem being too short to "describe").
- Episodes under a bare counter ("[01/36] "Pokemon - S02E01 - Pallet Party

connections against a queue of 1M).
- Claims in tiers: lone files first, then par2 sets and archives of
releases without a readable name (what the par2 merge needs), then those
of readable releases.
- probe_cache: final answers by message-id (status, inspection with the
16 KiB hash and par2 file list), PROBE_VERSION 2. A reset empties the
probe queue, not the cache; recreated candidates of probed articles are
answered from it without the news server.

131 uploads of 1 GiB test files ("kantodoNNN.bin", a.b.test) share their
first 16 KiB and size, so all matched one set's single file and became one

the anchor's group and time window is left out; a plain repost of the same

- "Very Best Of The Who [01/010]", "[02/020]", "[07/070]": a posting tool's

From the first corpus sweep (183 ranges):
- A stray quote took the last quote pair ('"x.mp3" "Album_BY_WaRLoRD',
'"x.nfo" " yEnc', '"x.nzb" yEnc"'): the last quoted part with an
extension is the name. Each file was a release of its own.
- A single-quoted name at the end ("… [001/106] 'You, Me And Dupree.nfo'"),
not the host before it (www.x2l.nl).
- Text ending in a host ("… www.libranews.nl") is no file name; a name in
brackets comes first ("[01/77][LIBRATEAM_M2219009.par2]",
"-^-[Mnozil Brass - Seven.nzb]-^-").
- A leading date is no item number ("09-30-2008_BAK_JRS.r00": a daily
show's 32,621 files were one release under the poster's tag).

("(NELET11.par2) [01/58] - "NELET11.par2"").

A release whose last post is 6 hours old gets nothing from the tail, only
fragments from neighbouring ranges: settled once unchanged for 30 minutes.
Waiting 6 hours after it was read held every history release back from
phase 2 after each reset; with the hourly sweeps' resets the prober (and so
the par2 merge) never had work.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The prober stores, per probed article that starts a file, the MD5 of its
first 16 KiB (file_hashes), and per par2 body the set's whole file list
(par2_files, par2_sets): FileDesc holds the same hash per file, whatever
the file was renamed to. releases:merge (the merger service, no NNTP)
merges every minute the releases of one group, posted within 48 hours of
a release holding the set's par2, whose files the set describes, into the
one with the most files: chunks, probe candidates, inspections, hashes and
counts move; the par2's shared name when none was readable; release_merges
keeps what went where. Obfuscated uploads whose files were each a release
of their own ("[9/20] - "14f5999a…"", hep: 13,232) become one.
Also: corpus_sweep.py counts the marked ranges without psql's command tag.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Ranges marked `capture` keep their XOVER chunks in CORPUS_DIR
(corpus/<group>/<start>-<end>/, edge-bench's layout, range.json once
complete; only chunks that inflate). The prefetcher reads a stored chunk
instead of fetching it, so a reset re-indexes them without the news
server; a chunk a worker reports corrupt goes from the corpus too.
edge-bench gets --releases (release chunks without payload, with their
first subjects) and ships in the edge image; deploy/corpus_sweep.py marks
more ranges (capture), replays the corpus with the deployed build (replay)
and reports suspects and the change since the previous build (report).

- namesRelease accepts words joined by , & : ; \ / + ("Posting & deleting,

the stem rule ("P8250001.JPG"), one release over all folders.
- imageSet: a 5+ digit number left in the set is a per-image id
("sss-70556-3474182-23-10825418-pc", "Alena p 26663_…"): no set. Copy
markers may repeat ("diana-050-052[1][1]").
- unquotedName: an image after numbered text without a separator is the

yEnc' once the quotes were gone: 97 sets of 60 were one release. A number
of fewer than 4 digits after a word stays.

- An image whose subject has no words ("##[ "diana-040-001.jpg" (01/68)")

"051 - White leather kate054001_1_1.jpg": the index is inside 054001

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

The set bound cut at an image name's last number, but in many threads

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-).

Without a file counter a subject-named image release was bounded by the

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

file total and counted as incomplete. Dates (2011-08-29, 08-29-2011,

an upper-case code and digits before the track number (SC8367-12,
ZMP050-04) is a numbered item too. Both implementations; tests; fixtures

\"yEnc\"", "\"Dr. Lust\" - … - [12/21] - Ed_DRL_VDR_LM.part09.rar") was

It gives way to a file name with an extension beside it

- Split parts numbered with two digits ("Admiral.EP05.2008.720p.Rus.

Releases of one file whose counter announces many (910k of 3M after the
sixth reset's first minutes), by cause:
- 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.

295 - \"… Seeing A Large Cat - D11.16-22.mp3\"", "CANDYD :: \"Candy
Dulfer - Candy Store - 11 - everytime.mp3\""): by the name without its

group. A chunk without one there now joins a release of its key in
another group whose window is within 3 hours, when none of its file
names are in that release yet; a post of the same files to another group
(other message-ids, same names) stays a release of its own, or its NZB

apart) under a new random poster each ("N9vplIaavBCz@aCTVoAsk.JSE",
"FVWWHku0fGAg@QfaTz0g0.RVH"): the stem key includes the poster. When the
poster's own name (before the @) looks random, it's left out of the key;
real posters keep theirs (two uploaders of one scene release at the same
time stay apart), and uploads hours apart stay apart by the re-upload

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;
tests; fixtures identical.

"ai-engineer-complete [401/465] - \"003 Defining Tools with JSON
Schema.mp4\"": the subject's text shares no word with the lesson's
descriptive name, so it was taken for a poster's constant tag and each of
the course's 465 files keyed a release of its own (releases 75941915,
75941916). A stem starting with a 1-3 digit index and a separator is an
item of a set the subject names, as audio tracks and images already
were; uploads hours apart stay apart by the re-upload rule. Both
implementations; tests; fixtures identical.
