Two more confirmed findings from the full-codebase CodeRabbit sweep (#623), both verified against the code and reproduced before being accepted. Companion to #632, which covers the API layer.

One unreadable source dir killed the whole nohl run

find_nohl_files wrapped its top-level os.listdir in except FileNotFoundError alone. A directory that exists but cannot be listed raises a sibling OSError instead — EACCES when the container's PUID/PGID lacks read on a share, ESTALE on a dropped remote mount, EIO on a degraded pool — and run() re-raises, so one bad path aborted everything: the remaining source dirs were never scanned, no searches were issued, no notification was sent, and the job was recorded as an error.

The intent was plainly to log and skip, because the child-directory listdir thirty-five lines below already does exactly that with except OSError. Widened to match. The missing-directory case is kept and tested, so the original behaviour survives the widening.

Schedule blocks and profiles fired repeatedly inside one minute

The scheduler ticks every five seconds and check_schedule is a pure time match that stays true for the whole matched minute. The plain module loop guards against that with _last_fired; _tick_upgradinatorr_profiles and _tick_schedule_blocks never got the guard.

What masked it is the one-in-flight-job dedupe, which only covers a job that is pending or running. The hole is the rest of the minute after one finishes: a no-op run, or a fast failure such as an unreachable instance, is re-enqueued on the next tick. Reproduced — five ticks inside one matched minute produced five dispatches, on both loops, each carrying the same merged overrides.

Both loops now take the same per-minute guard, keyed on the schedule key they already build. Marking happens only once the run is actually queued, so a dispatch skipped because the module is already running still retries within the minute rather than waiting for the next match — which for a daily block would be tomorrow.

Structure

Adding the guard to two more loops left three hand-rolled copies of one predicate. That is the shape behind the Lidarr API-version bug this sweep already fixed: seven copies, and the eighth site had forgotten it. _fired_this_minute and _mark_fired own it now. Marking stays a separate call because the three loops legitimately mark at different points.

Verification

Both fixes have tests that were watched failing on the unfixed code first — the nohl one parametrised over EACCES, ESTALE and EIO. The extracted guard was then sabotaged to confirm the tests genuinely depend on it: both scheduler tests fail with it stubbed out and pass when restored. Full suite 2449 passed, ruff clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of unreadable source directories by logging errors and returning no results instead of failing unexpectedly.
    • Prevented scheduled tasks and profile-based schedules from being queued repeatedly during the same minute.
    • Preserved retry behavior when a scheduled task cannot be queued successfully.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for directory access errors and duplicate scheduling across repeated scheduler checks.

…orting a run

Two more confirmed findings from the full-codebase sweep (#623).

## One unreadable source dir killed the whole nohl run

`find_nohl_files` wrapped its top-level `os.listdir` in `except FileNotFoundError`
alone. A directory that exists but cannot be listed raises a sibling OSError
instead — EACCES when the container's PUID/PGID lacks read on a share, ESTALE on
a dropped remote mount, EIO on a degraded pool — and `run()` re-raises, so one
bad path aborted everything: remaining source dirs unscanned, no searches
issued, no notification, the job recorded as an error.

The intent was plainly to log and skip; the child-directory listdir 35 lines
below already does exactly that. Widened to match, with the missing-directory
case kept.

## Schedule blocks and profiles fired repeatedly inside one minute

The scheduler ticks every 5s and `check_schedule` is a pure time match that
stays true for the whole matched minute. The plain module loop guards that with
`_last_fired`; `_tick_upgradinatorr_profiles` and `_tick_schedule_blocks` never
got the guard.

What masked it is the one-in-flight-job dedupe, which only covers a job that is
pending or running. The hole is the rest of the minute after one finishes: a
no-op run, or a fast failure such as an unreachable instance, is re-enqueued on
the next tick and can run about a dozen times in that minute, each with the same
merged overrides. Both loops now take the same per-minute guard, keyed on the
existing schedule key.

Marked only once the run is actually queued, so a dispatch skipped because the
module is already running still retries this minute rather than waiting for the
next match — which for a daily block would be tomorrow.
Adding the guard to the profile and block loops left three hand-rolled copies
of the same predicate. That is the shape behind the Lidarr api_ver bug this
sweep already fixed — seven copies and the eighth site forgot one.

`_fired_this_minute` and `_mark_fired` now own it. Marking stays separate
because the loops mark at different points: the module loop on match, the other
two only once the run is actually queued.

Review Change StackReview Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change broadens source-directory error handling and adds per-minute firing guards to standard modules, Upgradinatorr profiles, and schedule blocks. Regression tests cover unreadable directories and repeated scheduler ticks.

Changes

Source scan error handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Handle unreadable source directories
backend/modules/nohl.py, tests/test_regression_sweep_2026_09_modules.py
Top-level scans now handle all OSError variants, log the error, and return None. Tests cover permission, generic I/O, and missing-directory errors.

Scheduler dispatch deduplication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Centralize per-minute firing checks
backend/util/scheduler.py
Shared helpers now track fired schedule keys by minute. Standard module scheduling uses these helpers.
Guard profile and block dispatches
backend/util/scheduler.py, tests/test_regression_sweep_2026_09_modules.py
Upgradinatorr profiles and schedule blocks now avoid repeated dispatches within a minute. Keys are marked only after successful queueing. Tests verify repeated ticks dispatch once.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a75d9

This change prevents duplicate scheduler dispatches and handles unreadable source directories, but a failed standard-module enqueue can now defer a scheduled run until its next interval. One missing-directory regression is also ineffective under optimized Python, so the change should be corrected before merge.

Mark the schedule key after successful queueing.

Line 464 marks name as fired before run_module_async returns. If queueing fails, later ticks in the same matched minute skip the module. Move _mark_fired into the result["success"] branch.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Bind the call before the assertion.

When Python runs with -O, it removes this assert and does not call Nohl.find_nohl_files. The missing-directory regression then has no test coverage.

Proposed fix
     monkeypatch.setattr(os, "listdir", boom)
-    assert Nohl.find_nohl_files("/mnt/gone", _Logger()) is None
