A new enabled source is armed for run-until-done backfill (#693) but would sit
idle until the next scheduler tick (~60s). create_source now enqueues the first
walk right away (pending DownloadEvent + download_source.delay), skipping only
when the platform is in a rate-limit cooldown (the scheduler picks it up when
that clears). Disabled sources still don't dispatch.

Before arming a deep walk on a native-ingester platform (Patreon — where
verify is one cheap API page), POST /sources/{id}/backfill {start|recover}
runs the shared verify_source_credential first and REFUSES (409 + reason)
only on a definitive rejection (verify→False, e.g. expired cookies). It
proceeds on valid (True) or inconclusive (None — a network blip must not
block). Gated to native platforms: gallery-dl verify is a slow --simulate
subprocess, too heavy for an arm action. The credential read happens in a
session that's CLOSED before the verify network call (no held conn).
Frontend: onBackfill/onRecover now read e.body.detail (ApiError carries the
reason in .body, not .detail) so the rejection text surfaces in the toast.
Tests: arm blocked on rejection (409, source not armed), proceeds on
inconclusive, stop never pre-flights, gallery-dl platform skips pre-flight.
An autouse fixture stubs verify to 'valid' for the existing backfill
endpoint tests so they stay network-free.

Final step of the native Patreon ingester: a first-class Recovery action,
and removal of the now-dead gallery-dl Patreon path.
Recovery (rules #23/#24/#27 — full product, with UI):
- source_service.start_recovery arms the #693 backfill state machine PLUS
`_backfill_bypass_seen`, flipping download mode to recovery (bypass the
seen-ledger to re-fetch dropped-and-deleted near-dups and re-evaluate
under the current pHash threshold). Stop via the shared stop_backfill.
- SourceRecord exposes backfill_bypass_seen; POST /sources/{id}/backfill
gains action="recover".
- Frontend: Recovery button (Patreon-only, mdi-backup-restore) on SourceRow
+ SourceCard; the running badge labels "Recovering (N)" vs "Backfilling
(N)"; the Stop tooltip says "Stop recovery". sources.js recoverSource +
SubscriptionsTab onRecover.
Cutover (rule #22 — no legacy):
- gallery_dl: removed PLATFORM_DEFAULTS["patreon"], the patreon
files/cursor branch in _build_config_for_source, and the patreon/Mux
yt-dlp Referer/Origin block (was patreon-specific and wrongly tagged the
other platforms' yt-dlp fetches; native ingester owns it now).
- download_service: removed the dead campaign-id-retry helpers
(_looks_like_campaign_id_failure / _CAMPAIGN_ID_FAILURE_PATTERN) and
_effective_url. Vanity→campaign resolution + resume_cursor + the
cursor/PARTIAL lifecycle stay — they serve the native ingester.
Tests: removed the two obsolete patreon-gallery-dl config tests (yt-dlp
Referer, resume-cursor); repointed the generic skip-value config tests to
subscribestar; added start_recovery + recover-endpoint coverage
(backfill_bypass_seen). gallery-dl stays for the other 5 platforms.

Plan #693. Large-catalog backfill (Anduo) no longer sprints to the timeout
wall and dies as an error each run. Builds on the cursor checkpoint (#689).
- Time-boxed chunks: BACKFILL_TIMEOUT_SECONDS(1170)→BACKFILL_CHUNK_SECONDS(600),
far under the 1350 soft limit. Hitting it = normal chunk boundary (the
TimeoutExpired path already captures partial output + the cursor), not a
near-wall death.
- Run-until-done state machine driven by config_overrides[_backfill_state]
(running/complete/stalled). A running backfill auto-continues in chunks
across ticks until gallery-dl exits cleanly (rc=0 = reached the bottom →
'complete'); a safety-cap (BACKFILL_MAX_CHUNKS=200) + the #689 stall-guard
pause a pathological walk as 'stalled'. Replaces the N-runs counter
(backfill_runs_remaining repurposed as the cap countdown).
- Progress, not error: a chunk that timed out but advanced (cursor moved
and/or files written) is reclassified TIMEOUT→PARTIAL (status 'ok').
- Retry storm tamed: gallery-dl retries 3→2, downloader timeout 120→60s, so
one stuck CDN file fails in ~1-2 min not ~10 (Anduo #40838).
- API: POST /sources/{id}/backfill now takes {action: start|stop}; service
start_backfill/stop_backfill; new enabled sources auto-arm run-until-done;
source dict exposes backfill_state + backfill_chunks.
Frontend (Start/Stop control + state badge) lands in the next push.

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)
61ce1ce added platform_cooldowns to scheduler_status(), and two pinned
key-set assertions tied to the old shape failed in CI. Updated:
- tests/test_api_sources.py::test_schedule_status_shape — direct
/api/sources/schedule-status response.
- tests/test_api_system_activity.py::test_summary_returns_rollup_shape
— nested under body["scheduler"] in the summary endpoint.
[[feedback-plan-grep-pinned-tests]] miss — should have grepped tests/
for `last_tick_at` / `auto_sources` before adding the new key.

Removed the app/client fixtures duplicated across 36 test files (two
variants: separate app + client(app), and a self-contained client() that
called create_app inline) and the now-unused create_app imports. Both
fixtures now live once in conftest.py. test_suggestions_bulk keeps its
import (builds the app inline in two tests); test_health drops its local
client + unused pytest_asyncio.
Net -415 lines.

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.
