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)
The whole view scrolled instead of just the subscription list. Made the
hub a viewport-height flex column (tabs stay fixed) with the v-window as
the single internal scroll container; the per-tab sticky control bars now
pin to the window top (top:48px -> 0). Operator-flagged 2026-05-28.

D1 scheduler visibility: AppSetting last-tick stamp on every Beat tick +
GET /api/sources/schedule-status (last_tick_at/next_due_at/due_now/auto_sources)
+ SchedulerStatusBar on the Subscriptions tab (re-polled every 30s).
D2 failing-source rollup: ?failing=true on the sources list + FailingSourcesCard
on Downloads with per-source and bulk "retry" (re-runs the feed via /check).
D3 activity sparkline: GET /api/downloads/activity hourly buckets + CSS bar
chart by the stat chips (failures stacked in error color); refreshes on live poll.
D4 credential staleness: surface last_verified age + "re-verify recommended"
warning past 30d; also fixes the dead last_verified_at field-name mismatch so
the verification row renders at all.

Operator-flagged 2026-05-28: the Subscriptions/Downloads dashboards were
full-bleed and thin on filtering. Chosen via AskUserQuestion.
**Layout**
- SubscriptionsView capped at a centered max-width 1600px (covers all
three subtabs) so rows aren't a mile wide on ultrawide monitors.
- Sticky control headers on both tabs (top: 48px, below the top nav,
opaque bg) so filters/stat-chips stay reachable while scrolling a
long list.
**Downloads filters (all four requested)**
- Stat chips are now clickable filters: click Queued/Running/Completed/
Failed/Skipped to filter the list to that status; the active chip is
outlined + elevated; re-click clears.
- Free-text search box over the loaded events (artist / platform /
error substring).
- Artist filter: the filter popover's numeric "Source ID" field is
replaced with an artist autocomplete (sources.autocompleteArtist →
artist_id, which /api/downloads already supports). Pill shows the
artist name.
- "Show no-change scans" toggle (default OFF): hides status=ok/skipped
rows with 0 files (the scheduled scans that found nothing) so real
downloads + failures stand out.
**Subscriptions**
- "Needs attention" quick-filter chip: one click to show only artists
with sources that have errors OR have never been checked; chip shows
the count and disables the status dropdown while active.
Frontend-only — backend filter params (status/artist_id/date) and the
/api/downloads endpoint already supported everything.
Replaces the three top-level routes with a single `/subscriptions` parent
owning the whole download-pipeline domain. Internal tab state via `?tab=`
query param, mirroring ArtistView's pattern. TopNav auto-drops the two
removed entries (route-driven via meta.title). Bookmark-safe redirects
from `/credentials` and `/downloads` route into the appropriate subtab.
**Subtab 1 — Subscriptions (default).** Carries over the existing
artist-grouped expandable table; adds (a) status filter dropdown, (b)
bulk-select column with Enable/Disable/Delete-all actions, (c) GS-style
color-coded `PlatformChip` per distinct platform in the collapsed row.
Reuses SourceRow, SourceHealthDot, SourceFormDialog, ArtistCreateDialog.
**Subtab 2 — Downloads.** Full GS dashboard. Five colored stat chips up
top (Queued/Running/Completed/Failed/Skipped, sourced from new
`GET /api/downloads/stats?window_hours=`). Popover-style filter UI
(Status/Source/FromDate/ToDate) with active-filter pills below.
Maintenance menu wraps existing /api/import/retry-failed and
/api/import/clear-stuck endpoints; Export-failed-logs item disabled with
a "v2" tooltip. Per-row Retry preserved via existing DownloadEventRow.
**Subtab 3 — Settings.** Four sections: ExtensionKeyBar (top), GS-style
per-platform CredentialCard grid (md=6 v-row/v-col, dashed border if
unset / accent border if set, expandable how-to panel), Downloader card
(rate limit, validate_files), Schedule defaults card (default interval,
event retention, failure warning threshold). The Downloader and Schedule
sections were extracted out of components/settings/ImportFiltersForm.vue
— SettingsView's Import tab now owns only image-import filters.
**Backend:** new `GET /api/downloads/stats` returns
{pending, running, ok, error, skipped} count grouped by status over the
configurable window. Status keys stay raw from the ENUM; UI does the
display-label mapping. Two integration tests pin the response shape +
window_hours validation.
**Util:** `frontend/src/utils/platformColor.js` — single source of truth
for the six platforms' color + icon + label, mirroring GS's palette
(patreon=red mdi-patreon, subscribestar=amber mdi-star,
hentaifoundry=purple mdi-palette, discord=indigo mdi-discord,
pixiv=blue mdi-alpha-p-box, deviantart=green mdi-deviantart). Unknown
platform falls back to grey + mdi-web.
Deferred (explicit non-goals): subscription import/export, "Trigger Due
Now" scheduler-tick button (needs new backend endpoint), Export Failed
Logs CSV dump.
