Three defects found while answering "is the linking automatic":

1. The name and image checks never worked on a live drop. The corpus keyed
   every image by primary_post_id, but a drop's images belong to its member
   messages and the drop claims them only through provenance, so a drop
   looked nameless and hashless. The tests attached images to the drop
   itself, which discord_grouping never does. Images now count under the
   post a reader sees them on: a message's absorbing drop, else the post
   itself.

2. The trickle merge (e08401c) dates a drop by its first stage, days before
   the release a teaser announces, which put merged trickles outside the 24h
   window. Candidates are now found and timed by their closest member
   message. The sweep follows recently grown drops by their messages' times
   the same way.

3. A pair left pending was skipped forever: the matcher skipped every
   recorded pair, not only decided ones. Pending pairs are now re-scored in
   place and linked once conclusive. Linked and dismissed pairs are still
   never touched.

Also, "Scan now" shared the sweep's 48-hour horizon, so it could not reach
the history it is described as being for. It now scores every post by an
artist with Discord drops (rescan(full=True)).

New tests build drops the way the grouper does, with images owned by the
member messages.

Crop-to-source matching was held until the cheap signals could be shown
insufficient. They can: of artist 8's 27 teasers with a drop inside a day, 11
go unlinked, and five are screenshot teasers with no working name at all.

So it was tried, on exactly those pairs. Every teaser image correlated against
every window of every nearby drop image at five scales, ground truth being the
pairs the working name independently confirms, control being unrelated
same-artist posts a month away. **It does not separate** — true pairs score as
low as 0.401 while the control reaches 0.605, and no threshold divides them.

The reason is the one the naive version was rejected for, which turns out to
apply just as hard to the careful one: a single artist's work is
stylistically homogeneous, so a whole-image comparison between two of their
pieces is high whether or not it is the same piece. That is now written down
in the module docstring with its numbers, so the next person to reach for it
inherits the measurement instead of repeating it.

What survived asks a narrower question the measurement shows IS answerable:
not "is this a crop of that" but "is this the same image". Same pairs, same
control, using the pHash FC already stores on every image — pairs the name
confirms score 0, 0 and 20 bits of 256; the nearest unrelated pair in a
29-sample control scores 108. The threshold sits at 32, which is the number
gallery_service already calls a near-duplicate, inside a 76-bit gap.

It earns its place by being the only signal needing no cooperation from the
creator: it works on a teaser called `Screenshot 2026-08-13`, and on a creator
whose two platforms share no naming convention. It is quiet most of the time,
because a teaser is usually a crop rather than a copy — but where it fires it
is close to certain, and it recovers `Cute Selfie, Cute Dress` from the
unreachable list.

utils/phash warns the hash alone must not decide a MERGE, since variants of
one piece collide at this distance. That does not invert here — it is the
point. A merge destroys a file, so a variant colliding with its original is a
loss; this asks whether two POSTS are about the same piece, and a variant of
the drop's image is exactly that. Nothing is deleted either way.

Gated on posts like the other two: an image on many of the creator's posts is
a banner, not a piece. `_rarity` is public as `rarity` now that all three
signals share it.

Both mine, both from the same change.

`identity` is unpacked in the write loop and never read there — the decision
it feeds happens above it, when `conclusive` is built. flake8-bugbear is on
repo-wide and B007 is exactly this. Renamed `_identity`, and `linked +=
status == "linked"` spelled out as the `if` it actually is.

The second is worse, because it was a real assertion silently pointed at the
wrong shape. `match_post` now returns `(proposed, linked)`, and when I
rewrote the call sites I matched on `) == 0` — so the one comparison in the
file that reads `) == 1` kept comparing a tuple to an integer. Found by
walking the module's AST for every comparison against `match_post` and every
use of a name assigned from it, rather than grepping again with the pattern
that had already missed it once.

Operator, 2026-09-24: *"I don't want this to be manual that defeats the
convenience that I'm going for."*

Confirm-only was right while every signal was circumstantial. Time proximity
and a body that mentions Discord can never be more than suggestive, so asking
was the honest response to what FC actually knew. A shared working name is
different in kind: when the creator's own name for a piece appears in exactly
these two posts and nowhere else in their library, there is nothing left for
the operator to adjudicate, and asking is a chore FC invented for them.

AUTO_LINK_FLOOR is 1.0 and sits deliberately above IDENTITY_FLOOR's 0.75. The
gap between them IS the review queue — real evidence, not certain enough for
FC to act on alone. Measured on artist 8, of 15 name-sharing pairs: 11 are
conclusive, 2 more propose, 2 fall short of both.

Three refusals, because an auto-link is FC asserting something the operator
never saw:

  * Exactly one candidate may be conclusive. Two is not a tie to be broken by
    score — one post can tease two pieces dropped separately, and then each
    drop carries a different name from the same teaser, each individually
    conclusive. Two conclusive answers to "which drop is this" means the
    question was wrong, so both queue and FC says nothing.
  * Neither end may already be claimed by an accepted link. That link is the
    operator's decision and reassigning its other end would overrule them
    silently.
  * The whole thing is one setting, defaulting on, reversible in the UI —
    an accepted link is a row they can dismiss.

`match_post` now returns (proposed, linked) so a sweep can report what it did
on its own rather than only what it queued.

#4392's third cause, and the only one of the three about whether a pair is
SCORED AT ALL rather than how well.

A drop's post_date is backdated to its first message, but FC cannot author the
drop until that message has an embedding and the hourly grouper has run. So a
drop created this minute lands wherever its messages were — days or weeks back
in the feed. The sweep only looked at announcements published within twice the
window of NOW, so by the time the drop existed its neighbours were already
outside the horizon, and nothing brought the sweep back to them.

Measured on the live instance: a pair scoring 0.800 with `associations: []`
and an empty queue. The two scoring fixes in the previous commit would not
have helped it, because nothing scored it.

So the sweep now also gathers announcements sitting beside any drop whose
`last_grew_at`/`downloaded_at` is inside the horizon — the drop's own clock
rather than its backdated position. Capped at MAX_RECENT_DROPS so a backfill
authoring thousands at once does not quietly become the full-library rescan
the manual button exists for, and the id set is sorted before the loop because
a sweep visiting posts in a different order each run is one whose failures
cannot be reproduced.

#4392 measured three compounding reasons the announcement matcher could not
fire for this creator. This is the first two.

**Vocabulary.** `discord` is not how these creators write once the audience
already knows where the server is. Across 20,558 Patreon bodies `discord`
appears in 486 and `the server` in 37 — but the distribution is the point, not
the totals: for artist 8, 21 of 42 posts say `discord`, 7 say `the server`,
and it is the RECENT ones that say the latter. A vocabulary list written from
old posts silently stops matching the posts that still need it.

**Two routes.** Circumstance and identity answer different questions.
Proximity and a declaration say two things happened near each other; a working
name the creator uses on these two posts and nowhere else says they are the
same piece. Averaging those makes the threshold uninterpretable and costs
both ways — adding identity as a fourth weight dilutes the others enough that
measured teaser/drop pairs an hour apart stop proposing, while capping
identity at a weight means the strongest evidence available can never carry a
pair alone. So identity may OVERRIDE, never dilute; below IDENTITY_FLOOR it is
recorded for the operator and moves nothing, which is the conservative
direction, since a wrong link asserts two different pieces are one.

The circumstantial bundle is now proximity/declared/marker at .45/.35/.20.
Rebalanced rather than extended: the existing guard still holds arithmetically
(no single weight reaches the threshold) and the existing pairs still score
where they did — a teaser and its drop an hour apart with an invite link go
from 0.815 to 0.781, both well over.

Measured against the live instance, artist 8: 17 candidate pairs, 14 carried
by a shared name, no false positives, and no drop claimed by two posts. The
operator's own example — `Anya -- 🍈🍈` and the drop 75 minutes before it —
links on the token `0-k`, which is what its two files are called on either
platform. Two pairs 21h apart that proximity scores 0.10 are reached, and two
more (`680lc`, `cnni18x`, four posts each) are the stated cost of the floor.

Both rare-token signals are artist-scoped and loaded once per artist per
sweep, not per candidate pair.

The point of the milestone rather than its tail. Two of the operator's artists
post a deliberately cropped fragment on Patreon to signal that the real thing
has landed in their Discord; this proposes those pairs.

Confirm-only, following the FC-6.3 series matcher. A wrongly-asserted
association tells the operator two different pieces are one, which is strictly
worse than no link: no link leaves them where they already were, a wrong one
actively misinforms and then propagates into whatever reads it. So the
matcher's job is a SHORT list worth reading, not a long list worth trusting.

**The threshold sits above every single signal weight, and that is the
design.** Proximity is 0.55, declaration 0.45, the cut 0.60 — so neither
signal can carry a pair alone. That makes "time proximity alone is never
sufficient" an arithmetic property rather than an aspiration: on a busy day an
artist posts several times, and a matcher that could pair on proximity alone
would turn every one of those days into false pairs until the review queue got
abandoned. A guard test asserts the relationship against WEIGHTS directly, so
it survives any refactor of the scorer, and says in its own failure message not
to fix it by lowering the assertion.

**Crop-to-source matching is HELD, on the plan's instruction** — real work with
real false-positive risk, worth building only once signals 1 and 2 are shown
insufficient against the operator's actual artists. Worth stating: a naive
whole-image SigLIP similarity is NOT that signal. A cropped teaser and its full
version are precisely the pair a whole-image comparison handles worst, so
adding one as a "bonus" would mostly add noise while looking like progress.

Two premises in the plan corrected in the building:

* **E4 is not actually a prerequisite.** A Patreon Source and a Discord Source
  the operator has added under one Artist already share `Post.artist_id`, and
  the synthetic grouping inherits it. E4 EXTENDS this to creators FC has to
  learn the association for; it is not needed to represent one FC was told.
  Same-artist is then a hard filter, not a scored signal — two different
  creators posting minutes apart is a coincidence, not evidence.
* **`link_extract` cannot supply the declaration signal.** It exists, but
  `SUPPORTED_HOSTS` is file hosts only and `host_for()` returns None for a
  Discord URL, so no ExternalLink row is ever written for one. The signal
  reads the post body directly instead.

And a bug my own test would have caught: `declared_signal` stripped the HTML
before looking for an invite, but `html_to_plain` discards attributes and
these creators put the invite in an anchor's `href` — so the strongest form of
the signal was being thrown away, leaving only whatever the link text said.
The invite now matches the raw body; the bare mention still matches stripped
text, so `\bdiscord\b` is tested against prose rather than against markup.

Dismissed rows are kept, not deleted: the row is what remembers the rejection,
and re-proposing a rejected pair on every scan is the one behaviour that makes
a review queue get ignored. Both FKs CASCADE, so E3's one-DELETE reversal
cannot leave a proposal pointing at a post that no longer exists.

Only ACCEPTED links reach the post payload. A pending proposal is a question
for the review queue, not a claim to render beside the artwork.

UI (rule 27) follows in the next commit.
