The hourly ccip backfill's skip-list lacked 'error' (and the daily
siglip/embed variants re-gated failures on their missing results), so every
permanently-bad file got a fresh doomed job each run — ~24 duplicate error
rows/day per file, the perpetual 'unprocessable' flood. An errored job is now
a TOMBSTONE: no backfill re-enqueues it; retry is deliberate-only via
/retry_errors (an errored back-catalogue needs one button press after a
model swap).
One shared set of dedupe DELETEs (services/ml/gpu_jobs.error_dedupe_statements)
runs before every backfill and inside /retry_errors: error rows made moot by a
later pending/leased/done row go first, then older duplicates (newest reason
survives) — so the error count reads as distinct failing files and a retry
can't fan one file out into duplicate pending jobs. /retry_errors now returns
{requeued, pruned} and the toast shows both.
Poison-loop guards (release and lease-expiry burn no attempts, so a job that
stalls its transfer or crashes the agent every time cycled forever —
operator-observed jobs 99044/125288/131594/143131):
- agent: 3 in-session transient bounces (fetch or submit) → fail with the real
reason instead of another release; strikes never count while stopping, and
clear on submit success. Agent build 2026-07-02.3.
- server: the 60s orphan sweep (statements shared between the beat task and
GpuJobService so they can't drift) converts expired leases with >=5 lease
grants and pending jobs with >=10 to 'error', preserving the last stored
failure reason. Backstops old agent builds.
Tests: tombstone rule across all three backfill variants, moot-row pruning,
poison conversions, and the extended /retry_errors dedupe contract.

FabledCurator
Self-hosted media curation — gallery, ML tagging, and subscription-driven downloading in one app. Part of the FabledSword family.
Combines what was ImageRepo (gallery, ML, importer) and GallerySubscriber (gallery-dl wrapper, subscriptions, credential capture) into a single product.
Status
Pre-v1. Not yet functional.
Quick start
For local development and testing, just:
docker compose up -d
# UI: http://localhost:8080
That uses sane dev defaults baked into docker-compose.yml and the dev
override (docker-compose.override.yml, auto-merged) — local builds, DEBUG
logging, exposed Postgres + Redis ports on the host. No .env required.
For a production-like deployment, override the dev defaults via shell env
or a .env file (see .env.example for the variable names) and use:
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up -d
# (skips the override so containers pull registry images)
Deployment posture
FabledCurator is designed to run inside a self-hosted homelab environment over plain HTTP. If you want TLS, terminate it at your reverse proxy. The app does not generate certificates, redirect to HTTPS, or set HSTS.
CI / Forgejo setup
The repo's workflows expect:
-
Runner label
python-ci— a Forgejo runner with Python 3.14, ruff, and Node 22 pre-installed. Bothci.ymlandbuild.ymluse this label. The runner image (runner-base:python-ci) is built fromCI-Runner/CI-python/in the operator's workspace;make pushfrom that directory builds and pushes a new image when toolchain pins change. -
Repo secret
RELEASE_TOKEN— a Forgejo PAT with the following scopes:write:package+read:package— fordocker pushtogit.fabledsword.comwrite:release— for future release-cutting workflowswrite:issue— for future issue-management automation
