The incremental judge counted each changed release's files twice, each
index entry a heap fetch: 24-32 s a chunk. file_hashes by (hash16k,
size, release_id) replaces (hash16k); the other releases of a file are
judged only when the chunk brings it to 20.

A full round took 35-38 min of each hour and grew with every inspection
the prober added. Triggers note changed releases in judge_dirty; the
judge judges those (and releases a file hash of theirs tipped to
repeated) by every rule, and every release in a daily full round for
what time changes.

The judge's fake rule reads all of it every round: 17-18 min on the HDD,
~3 on the NVMe. Migration 4600 is a no-op now; 4800 moves it back where
4600 ran. Homelab moved it by hand; a no-op there.

A round took 22-29 min an hour: every match went through the insert's
conflict check (60-150 s a rule), scraped and locked each scanned all of
releases. The spot inspector's releases now add their poster to posters.

The prober's output, appended and read a release at a time: 40% of the
NVMe's growth while probing. Homelab moved it by hand; a no-op there.

jsonb can't hold \u0000, and ON CONFLICT can't take a row twice in one
statement: either failed the whole flush, its outcomes lost and its
candidates taken until a restart. NULs are dropped from strings; the
probe_cache insert takes each message-id once.

At ~200 articles/s what the prober stores (inspections, par2 file lists,
the WAL) took ~0.8-1.1 GB an hour of homelab's root, and nothing stopped it
at the 10 GB floor. Below 12 GB free it claims nothing (resumed 1 GB above):
the lanes go dry and its share shrinks to its minimum.

Each claim looks its candidates up in probe_cache by message_id; with the
index on the HDD that took 1.27 s a claim, 48 s of each minute. Moved by
hand on homelab; a no-op there.

The coordinator (38) and the prober (8) had a fixed split; with history
paused the coordinator's stood idle while the prober's were its limit.
nntp_shares: each process syncs every 15 s (priority, minimum, what it could
use, what it has open) and gets what it may open: minimums first, then by
priority what each wants, growing only into connections the others closed
or gave up. The pool's size and the prober's lanes follow the grant; the
coordinator doubles its want while work waits for a connection, else asks
for its peak in use and a margin; the prober wants its maximum unless the
queue is dry. Claims scale with the lanes.

Over unreadable >= false Postgres walked every waiting entry of the kind:
2.5 minutes a claim at 28M archive candidates, the prober idle every other
minute. Per value each min and max is one end of the ready index (56 ms).

"Murdoch Mysteries S8D1 [00/80] - \"….nzb\"" beside its "[01/94]" upload
was a release of its own (23k sidecar-only releases on the corpus, 15k with
the poster's bigger release within 10 minutes). The settler queues small
settled releases (fold_candidates); the merger's third pass folds one whose
files are all sidecars into the poster's bigger release in the same group
within 10 minutes: the one sharing a 4+ letter word with its subject, else
the one under the same counter total, else none (via 'sidecar').

Voyager 1's second filter (D42) for voyager 2. Hourly, in order (the first
rule wins): dead (every probed first article gone), fake (a film, episode or
music name whose content is a program: archive entries all executables, or
the file itself by name or sniffed exe), repeated (the same first 16 KiB and
size in 20+ releases), locked (passworded, no password known), unusable
(random names, no inner name, no merge, no spot, a day after settling).
Verdicts in release_verdicts (rule, version) hide releases from search
(judged shows them); a verdict whose rule no longer matches is taken back.
Nothing dropped yet. Service judge; releases:judge --once --dry counts.

For the junk judge: a "movie" whose first bytes are a program is fake.
Two bytes alone match random data too often, so the PE signature where the
DOS header points must be there too. No PROBE_VERSION bump: new probes only.

~20 GB of the NVMe, read by key only; the catalog was at its cap and history
paused. Moved on homelab by hand (3 min, writers stopped; the cap raised to
100); the migration does the same on a new deploy.

The October partition's three indexes took 2.9 GB of the NVMe, its pkey
never scanned; chunks are read from the HDD anyway. Moved on homelab by hand
(12 s); the migration does the same on a new deploy, parent indexes too so new
partitions follow.

After reset 24 the catalog grew ~3.7 GB an hour (77 GB, root 31 GB free, 600k
history ranges to go). CATALOG_MAX_NVME_GB (as voyager 1's
BACKFILL_MAX_NVME_GB): once the default tablespace is over it, leases and the
prefetcher take priority < 0 only (the tail, the stored ranges); measured once
a minute. Off when unset; 90 on homelab.

208ca1d's volume of 3-5 digits after a digit (YME's "CHT PCK 2 9.26.001")
also took versions for volumes: "K-ML 3.8.233", "3.8.239", "3.8.241" and
Kaizen's "v2.0.1021" ... "v2.0.1057" became one release (505 names on the
corpus). The random name's volumes with their own extensions stay.

- "df2BkeRxIvHcWrsWwwz.part01.cer" … ".part69.bdmv", "jA0eSSUMat8tQtIKUyPMA.part01":
obfuscators give each volume its own extension (or none); for a random name
(no dots or spaces) .partNN and that extension go.
- "(????) [0001/1009] - "CHT PCK 2 9.26.001"": a volume of 3-5 digits after a
dot counts with a digit before it too (5,419 single files of YME).

f1c5af5's set head (an image's name up to its first number) split sets whose
images aren't named alike: "a1.jpg" beside "a1 (2).jpg", and "468_1000.jpg"
whose first number is the image's (1 release became 211 and 161 on the
corpus). The random volume stem stays. Tests keep both sets whole.

- "[ TOWN ] [ www town ag ] [ TV ] … "Z3mMTMPsoT4ikE_Di3fKnNF21.part01.rar"",
"….vol4+4.par2": the subject and the total were the key, so every upload of
a total was one release (2,338 files for 20; also partner-of-ssl-news,
brothers-of-usenet). A random stem (no dots or spaces) on a volume file
joins the subject key; a scene name doesn't, so its nfo stays.
- "Molly Set [i/50] "mo103x003.jpg"": every set of 50 was one. An image's
name up to its first number, when another follows, joins the key.

"[…/559] - "lop1001.jpg"", "pic004.jpg", "DSC_0002[1].jpg", and tracks
"r86_022 - Gwen Guthrie - ….mp3" ("r"): the stem route keyed them by the
letters before the number alone, so every post of a poster was one release
(5,731 images for 559; 6,433 tracks for 457). Under a counter its total is
part of the key; a cover named as its archive's stem keeps the stem's key.

Oldest inspection first went through the 3-month backfill before today's
spots, whose releases the tail has: 3 h after reset 24, 2 of 16.7k matched.

At 50 exactly the coordinator still got 502s now and then: a hedged request
closes its connection and opens another while the old one still counts.

Coordinator 38 + its plain connection + prober 10 + spotter + spot inspector:
the spot inspector got 502 Too many connections.

Only a spot that becomes a release of its own needs its NZB (the header
pass's releases have their chunks); spots took 2.7 GB on the NVMe at 9k.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A spot older than what the catalog has indexed (the spotter's first backfill
reaches back ~3 months) matched nothing and would have become a release of
its own, a duplicate once the history pass builds the upload. Unmatched
spots are matched again in turns (rematched_at) for 30 days; the 24 h before
a standalone release count from the inspection; a later match deletes the
spot's own release and links the header pass's.

Two processes, one NNTP connection each (the coordinator 40 -> 38):
- spots:read (service spotter): free.pt's overviews after the last article
seen, each spot's full header verified (lib/spotnet from voyager 1, as
Spotweb), its description, website and NZB articles; the password its
title or text names; delete/dispose messages applied.
- spots:inspect (service spot-inspector): each spot's compressed NZB read,
its files listed (spot_files), each matched to the header pass's release
by the same release identity in one of its groups within 48 h
(release_spots); unmatched spots matched again hourly, after 24 h a
release of their own (source spot) with the spot's NZB.
- release_passwords: per release and password, its source (nzb, spot-title,
spot-text) and spot; the catalog keeps only passworded.
XoverClient.head(); PROBE_CONNECTIONS default 10.
