- 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.

So a cover 'x.jpg' joins 'x.part01.rar' in a stem-named post; an image
set like 'IMG_008' keys as the stem 'IMG'. Both implementations.

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.

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).

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).

lib/nntp (XOVER client, Xref, GROUP), lib/headers (subjects, file keys,
segments from overview lines; the yEnc path stays behind for phase 2),
lib/release (identity, random names, now in lib), lib/files (aggregator,
volume names), lib/rules (posting tools, owner by priority, release
verdicts), lib/chunks (release chunk codec). Their unit tests came along;
new ones for codec, rules and volumes.

The rebuild branch starts over (REBUILD.md): the API starter kit, with
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
imported from the current app module by module.

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).
