refetch_service was the only module under backend/app/services/ with no
test file — and not an inert one: it runs unattended off the recovery
sweep and deletes a file from disk before asking a downloader to replace
it. The frontend cites it by name as the reason the Import tab could be
retired ("imports heal themselves").
The ticket described it as having zero direct coverage. That is true of
the module, but not of the code: test_api_import_admin.py already drives
the happy path end-to-end through the refetch route — file deleted, task
flagged, one dispatch, second attempt a no-op. These 17 tests therefore
target what the route tests cannot reach rather than restating them:
* every branch of resolve_refetch_source — disabled Source, a
`sidecar:<platform>:<slug>` synthetic anchor, a platform mismatch,
the gallery-dl `NN_` numbering-prefix sidecar, the lowest-id pick
among several candidates, and each of the five ways it declines
(no sidecar, unreadable JSON, non-object JSON, no platform, no
artist folder / no matching Artist row).
* that the file SURVIVES when nothing re-pollable resolves. This is
the assertion the module exists for: `no_source` is the common case
on a filesystem-only library, where the file on disk is the
operator's only copy. The route-level no_source test cannot catch a
regression here — its path never existed, so an unconditional unlink
would pass it.
* that the `refetched` bound is checked BEFORE the unlink, so a second
sweep leaves the re-downloaded file alone rather than deleting it
again.
* that an unlink failure is logged and stepped over, not raised —
a raise would abort the whole sweep for every other poison-pill row
in the batch. Exercised with a real IsADirectoryError rather than a
patched pathlib.

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
