Draft. The remaining confirmed findings from the full-codebase sweep (#623), after #632 (API layer) and #633 (scheduler and nohl). None of these loses data; each is wrong in a way a user would see.

Poster browse matched sibling folders

folder LIKE ? was built from a Drive folder name with no escaping and no ESCAPE clause, so _ acted as a wildcard. Reproduced in sqlite: browsing owner My_Movies also returned /drive/MyXMovies and /drive/MyYMovies.

Every other LIKE in that file already pairs escape_like with ESCAPE '\', at five sites — this was the one that missed the house rule. Both halves are required: the helper alone silently does nothing without the clause, which is how this class of fix usually goes wrong.

Poster transcode leaked a temp file

NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False) followed by img.save; on a save error the file and its descriptor were left behind, in the directory the next scan reads. Cleaned up on failure only — on success the file is the return value, so the obvious _unlink_on_exit wrapper would have deleted the response out from under the caller. Both paths are tested.

The border progress bar pinned at 100% mid-run

processed counted gate-skipped assets, but the denominator total_work excluded them. With 30 skipped and 40 to do, the bar opened at 78%, reached 100% at item 10 of 40, and computed up to 175% before _report_progress clamped it. A separate counter drives the bar; the reported totals are unchanged.

PhotoTranscoder reported success while doing nothing

plex_path defaults to empty and the UI does not couple it to the toggle, so enabling the task with no path listed it in the Tasks header, cleaned nothing, printed no row (the report skips a zero count) and finished green. It now warns and skips.

Cancelling labelarr kept working

The cancel check sat only in the innermost item loop, so every remaining mapping still built a Plex client and re-read each library before stopping on its first item. No writes occur after cancel, so this was slow rather than unsafe.

A TypeError inside run() re-ran the module

run(**module_args) was wrapped in a bare except TypeError, which cannot distinguish "run() does not accept these kwargs" from a TypeError raised anywhere inside run(). The fallback then re-ran an already part-executed module with no arguments — and since SyncGDrive.run does accept those kwargs, a failure during a scoped sync triggered a second, full, unscoped one. It binds the signature first and calls exactly once.

Notifiarr always reported success

Each part's result was discarded and the function returned True unconditionally, unlike send_discord_notification, which aggregates. Now aggregated the same way. No caller reads the value today, so nothing changes yet — it stops the next one being lied to.

Two smaller ones

The mask resize in text_removal read its target size from a raw Image.open outside open_bounded, so a crafted header between the 64 MP cap and Pillow's own limit allocated a large buffer; limits.py owns that bound now. And psd_export hardcoded 0.25/3.0 where geometry.py names them, in a block whose own comment says it mirrors the renderer — which uses the constants.

Declined after implementing it

connect_plex_with_retry has no is_safe_url check while its sibling PlexClient.connect does — two definitions of one predicate. I implemented it, placed inside the retry loop rather than above it, because the guard fails closed on an unresolvable host and hoisting it would turn a DNS blip at container start into an instant refusal instead of a retry.

It is reverted, and the reasoning is worth recording: the guard resolves DNS on every attempt. It broke three existing tests and took the suite from 51s to 291s. The URL is owner-configured and not remotely reachable, so this was defence-in-depth only, and it is not worth a DNS lookup per connection attempt. Worth revisiting behind a resolver cache.

Verification

Full suite 2462 passed, ruff clean. The nesting and LIKE changes were sabotaged to confirm the tests fail without them.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved path nesting detection, including paths with double slashes.
    • Progress reporting no longer exceeds 100% when items are skipped.
    • Cancellation now stops processing earlier.
    • Clear warnings appear when required photo-transcoding paths are not configured.
    • Safer poster transcoding cleanup and image-size protection.
    • Owner searches now handle special characters correctly.
    • Notifications accurately report failures across multiple delivery parts.
    • Module arguments are validated before execution to prevent unintended reruns.
  • Changes

    • Removed automatic background version checks and the standalone log-rotation utility.

The nesting check is O(n^2) in the media count and called `os.path.normpath`
twice inside the inner loop. Measured on this machine: 1.59us per pair, which is
about 20s of CPU at 5000 items and 79s at 10000, and the cross-check runs it
radarr x sonarr on top.

Normalising once up front and comparing prefixes brings that to 0.14us per pair,
so ~1.7s at 5000 items. Hoisting alone only reaches ~16s — the win needs the
prefix test, so the two go together.

Two behaviour changes fall out of that, both fixing missed detections:

`os.path.commonpath` collapses a leading "//", so a child genuinely inside
"//media" compared false against parent "//media" and the nesting went
unreported. Normalisation now folds "//" itself, and both sides agree.

The list was sorted by the raw path while nesting was judged on the normalised
one. Since the loop only considers earlier entries as parents, a parent whose
raw string sorted after its child was never seen — "/mnt/./data/movies" hid a
real nesting under "/mnt/data/movies". Sorted on the normalised path now.

Equivalence against the old commonpath implementation is asserted over the
sibling-prefix trap, reversed pairs, relative/absolute mixes and a root parent,
plus a 60k-case fuzz. Both changes were sabotaged to confirm the tests fail
without them.
Each of these has exactly one occurrence repo-wide — its own definition. No
caller in backend, tests or frontend.

`version.start_version_check` is worse than merely unused: it assigns
`config.module_name` on a pydantic ChubConfig, which raises ValueError. Verified.
If anything had ever wired it up, the first "update available" would have killed
the poll thread. It also re-notified every interval for as long as an update
stayed available.

`logger.ensure_log_dir_and_rotate` is a line-for-line copy of the live
`_setup_log_directory_and_rotation`. Two copies of rotation logic, one of them
invisible, is how the next rotation change gets made in the wrong place.

`asset_renamerr._type_matched_targets` was orphaned by the guid-first index and
duplicates the live `_PLEX_SECTION_TYPE` path, which is still in use.
…tions

The remaining confirmed findings from the sweep (#623). None of these is broken
in the sense of losing data, but each is wrong in a way a user would see.

**Poster browse matched sibling folders.** `folder LIKE ?` was built from a Drive
folder name with no escaping and no ESCAPE clause, so browsing owner `My_Movies`
also returned `/drive/MyXMovies`. Reproduced in sqlite. Every other LIKE in that
file already pairs `escape_like` with `ESCAPE '\'` at five sites; this was the
one that missed the house rule. Both halves are needed — the helper alone does
nothing without the clause.

**Poster transcode leaked a temp file.** `NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False)` then
`img.save`; on a save error the file and its descriptor were left behind, in the
directory the next scan reads. Cleaned up on failure only, since on success the
file is the return value.

**The border progress bar pinned at 100% mid-run.** `processed` counted
gate-skipped assets but the denominator excluded them. With 30 skipped and 40 to
do, the bar opened at 78%, reached 100% at item 10 of 40, and computed 175%
before the clamp. A separate counter drives the bar.

**PhotoTranscoder reported success while doing nothing.** `plex_path` defaults to
empty and the UI does not couple the two, so enabling the task with no path
listed it in the header, cleaned nothing, printed no row and finished green. It
warns and skips.

**Cancelling labelarr kept working.** The cancel check was only in the innermost
item loop, so every remaining mapping still built a Plex client and re-read each
library before stopping. No writes happened after cancel, so this was slow rather
than unsafe.

**A TypeError inside run() re-ran the module.** The bare `except TypeError` around
`run(**module_args)` could not tell a bad signature from a bug inside run(), and
the fallback then re-ran a part-executed module with no arguments — for a scoped
gdrive sync, a second unscoped full sync. It binds the signature first and calls
once.

**Notifiarr always reported success.** Each part's result was discarded and the
function returned True unconditionally, unlike the Discord path, which
aggregates. Now aggregated the same way.

**Two smaller ones.** The mask resize in text_removal read its target size from a
raw `Image.open` outside `open_bounded`, so a crafted header between the 64 MP
cap and Pillow's own limit allocated a large buffer; limits.py owns that bound
now. And psd_export hardcoded 0.25/3.0 where geometry.py names them, in a block
whose own comment says it mirrors the renderer — which uses the constants.

## Declined after trying it

`connect_plex_with_retry` has no `is_safe_url` check while its sibling
`PlexClient.connect` does. I implemented it, inside the retry loop rather than
above it, since the guard fails closed on an unresolvable host and hoisting it
would turn a DNS blip at container start into an instant refusal.

It is reverted. The guard resolves DNS on every attempt: it broke three existing
tests and took the suite from 51s to 291s. The URL is owner-configured and not
remotely reachable, so this was defence-in-depth, and it is not worth a DNS

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request applies targeted runtime corrections across path handling, media processing, task execution, notifications, logging, and version checks. It also adds regression tests for path normalization, SQL matching, temporary files, and module argument handling.

Changes

Path and Media Safety

Layer / File(s) Summary
Path and owner matching
backend/modules/nestarr.py, backend/util/database/poster_cache.py, tests/test_regression_sweep_2026_09_quality.py
Path nesting now uses normalized cached paths. Owner filters escape SQL LIKE wildcards. Regression tests cover equivalent paths, sibling prefixes, and escaped owners.
Media limits and temporary files
backend/util/cl2k/text_removal.py, backend/util/cl2k/psd_export.py, backend/util/poster_images.py, tests/test_regression_sweep_2026_09_quality.py
Image decoding enforces the megapixel limit. Logo scaling uses shared bounds. Failed poster saves remove temporary files, while successful saves retain them.

Execution and Reporting Behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Task execution control
backend/modules/labelarr.py, backend/modules/border_replacerr.py, backend/util/job_processor.py, tests/test_regression_sweep_2026_09_quality.py
Cancellation checks stop outer-loop work earlier. Progress counts submitted work. Module arguments are validated before execution, preventing duplicate runs after an internal TypeError.
Maintenance and notification reporting
backend/modules/plex_maintenance.py, backend/util/notification.py
Missing plex_path now produces a warning when PhotoTranscoder is enabled. Notifiarr reports aggregate multipart success and messages.
Processing documentation and target handling
backend/modules/border_replacerr.py, backend/modules/asset_renamerr.py
Border replacement documentation reflects temporary-file comparison behavior. The removed helper no longer filters Plex targets by section type.

Runtime Cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Logging and version-check cleanup
backend/util/logger.py, backend/util/version.py
Logger comments describe instance setup and handler checks. The public log-rotation helper and background version polling function were removed.

CodeQL py/empty-except. The file's two other OSError swallows already carry
this comment; the new one did not.
Comment-only. The _save_if_changed docstring carried the /tmp history; kept the
two constraints a future edit must not break (temp in the destination dir,
filecmp shallow=False). Both logger blocks kept their gotcha — use the logger's
own handlers not hasHandlers(), and stamp start_time per instantiation.

🌐 Web query:

According to the current Pillow documentation, can Image.open raise Image.DecompressionBombError before callers can read Image.size?

💡 Result:

Yes, according to the current Pillow documentation and implementation, Image.open can raise an Image.DecompressionBombError before a caller has the opportunity to read the Image.size property [1][2][3]. Pillow performs a "decompression bomb" check during the Image.open process [2][3]. Specifically, after the image header is read, Pillow validates the image's dimensions against the configured limit (MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS) [1][4]. If the number of pixels exceeds twice this limit, Image.open will immediately raise an Image.DecompressionBombError [1][4]. Because this check occurs during the execution of Image.open, the exception is raised before the returned image object is fully initialized or accessible, meaning the caller cannot read the image's dimensions (Image.size) [2][3].

Translate decompression-bomb errors to ImageTooLargeError.

If Pillow raises Image.DecompressionBombError during Image.open(), _mask_to_image_dims() returns mask_bytes from its generic handler. This bypasses the 64 MP source-image cap before the provider call. Catch Image.DecompressionBombError separately and raise ImageTooLargeError.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

🔎 Supported by static analysis

🌐 Web query:

According to the current Python tempfile documentation, can os.unlink fail on Windows when NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False) remains open?

💡 Result:

According to the current Python documentation for the tempfile module, os.unlink can indeed fail on Windows with a PermissionError if you attempt to delete a file while it remains open [1][2]. When using NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False), the file is not automatically deleted when closed [1][3]. On Windows, attempting to delete such a file using os.unlink while the file object is still open or has not been properly closed can trigger a PermissionError because the operating system restricts file deletion for files that are currently in use by a process [1][4][2]. To avoid this, the documentation explicitly emphasizes that on Windows, if you need to open or manipulate a temporary file by its name, you must ensure the file is closed first [1][3]. The recommended workflow when using delete=False is to close the file explicitly before attempting to unlink it, or to ensure that all handles to the file are closed [1][4][3]. If using a context manager, setting delete_on_close=False (available in recent Python versions) is a recommended alternative as it provides automatic cleanup upon context manager exit while allowing the file to be closed and reopened safely during the process [1][3].

In transcode_poster, the failed-save handler calls os.unlink(tmp.name) while tmp is still open. On Windows, this can raise PermissionError; the handler suppresses it, and the later tmp.close() leaves the failed file on disk. Close tmp before the unlink attempt.

transcode_poster’s failed-save cleanup to close tmp before calling
os.unlink(tmp.name), while preserving the best-effort exception handling and
re-raising the original save failure.

Exercise the production argument-binding path.

These tests duplicate the implementation. A regression in _process_module_run_job does not fail either test because neither test calls production code.

Extract the binding step into a production helper and test that helper, or invoke _process_module_run_job with controlled dependencies.

As per path instructions, tests must assert the observable contract instead of an incidental local implementation.

Update the tests around _process_module_run_job so they exercise the production
argument-binding path rather than duplicating inspect.signature(...).bind logic
locally. Either extract that binding behavior into a production helper and test
the helper, or invoke _process_module_run_job with controlled dependencies,
while preserving assertions for the observable calls contract.
