Alembic 0032 adds Source.error_type (varchar(32), indexed).
_update_source_health stamps it alongside last_error on status='error'
and clears it on 'ok'. SourceRecord/to_dict exposes it.
FailingSourcesCard renders a colored chip next to the consecutive-
failures count, with a tooltip explaining the suggested operator
action. Color reflects intent:
- warning (yellow) — operator action needed (auth_error)
- info (blue) — backend-paced (rate_limited / timeout /
network_error / partial / tier_limited)
- error (red) — likely terminal without intervention
(not_found / access_denied / validation_failed /
unsupported_url / http_error / unknown_error)
Audit 2026-06-02: the backend computed 13 ErrorType categories but
only the free-text last_error reached the operator. Bulk-triage by
class ("all auth_error → rotate cookies", "12 rate_limited → just
wait") required opening Logs per row.
Routine subscription polls walked the entire post history every tick
even when nothing had changed, because gallery-dl's default `skip: True`
continues iterating archived posts. A creator with ~550 archived posts
(Knuxy patreon) saturates the 870s wall-clock cap before completing,
even with zero downloads needed. Plus, a tier-limited run that
downloaded hundreds of files but ran out the clock should be a
warning, not an error.
Two coupled changes, both operator-flagged 2026-06-01:
* **Tick mode (default, cron polls).** New `TICK_SKIP_VALUE = "exit:20"`
asks gallery-dl to exit after 20 contiguous archived items. Fresh
subscriptions + new-content cases still walk normally; established
subscription with zero new content exits in ~30s of HEAD requests
instead of pegging the timeout. 20 (not 5) gives headroom against
paywall warnings interleaving with archived items.
* **Backfill mode (explicit, operator-triggered).** Sticky for N runs
via new `Source.backfill_runs_remaining` (alembic 0031). While > 0,
downloads use `skip: True` + 1800s timeout. Auto-decrements per run
with early-reset to 0 when a clean run finds zero files (queue
drained). N defaults to 3 — multiple runs give the system enough
budget to finish a deep walk across timeout boundaries. New
`POST /api/sources/{id}/backfill` arms the source; "Deep scan"
button on each SourceRow (chip shows remaining count) wires it.
Plus partial-success classifier: non-zero gallery-dl exit + ≥1 file
downloaded + no source-level error fires `ErrorType.PARTIAL`, which
download_service maps to `status=\"ok\"`. The run did real work; the
next tick continues via gallery-dl's archive. No more red events for
"timed out mid-walk after downloading 300 files."
Retires `SourceConfig.skip_existing` — skip value is now derived from
the source state and passed as a separate `skip_value` parameter
through download() / _build_config_for_source(). `GD_DEFAULTS` drops
the now-dead key (was inert data after this refactor).
Tests cover:
* tick + backfill skip-value emission in _build_config_for_source
* PARTIAL classifier branch + TIER_LIMITED-wins-over-PARTIAL ordering
* SourceService.set_backfill_runs validation + persistence
* /api/sources/{id}/backfill 200/400/404 paths
* download_service auto-decrement / auto-reset / tick-mode-no-touch
* PARTIAL → status=ok in the orchestrator (no consecutive_failures bump)
Implements the data model from spec §3 in one go so FC-2/FC-3 don't need
schema-adding migrations of their own. Artist is the unified entity for
both gallery 'artist:' tags and GallerySubscriber Subscriptions
(is_subscription flag). ImageProvenance is many-to-one, enabling the
enrich-on-duplicate rule for downloaded content that pHash-matches an
existing record.
The SigLIP embedding column uses pgvector(1152) for SigLIP-so400m;
swapping models in FC-2 will require a column-width migration.
