A one-line saturating_sub wrapper exported for one production line (the prompt text) and two assertions — the expression is shorter than its name at every use.
release_keep_alive retained every KEEP_ALIVE entry whose path matched the settling task, deleting the shared TempDir out from under a concurrent duplicate of the same post (a shared fetch pushes one Arc per pipeline): the duplicate's queued retry then dead-lettered on local media that no longer existed. Release now removes exactly one matching entry, which requires settle to run once per task — handle_task settled on Permanent right before the queue invoked dead_letter_notify, which settles the same payload again, so the redundant settle is dropped. A regression test pins one settle to one entry removed.
Degrading a link-cache entry (previous commit) closed the "user retries right
after a failure" case, but left a new one open: the entry could never regain
file ids. `cache_sent_task` skipped *every* cached send — its rule was "the
entry already holds the ids the next repeat wants" — which is true for a
healthy entry and false for a degraded one. So a degraded entry (pixiv's
hotlink-protected media, say) kept sending by URL forever, and every repeat
paid a download and an upload through the fallback that the file ids would
have avoided. Worse than the re-fetch it replaced.
The rule is now the one it always meant: a send whose cache snapshot still
carries file ids leaves the entry alone, and a send served from a degraded
entry writes back the ids it produced (the URLs in the rewritten entry come
from that send's own items, so they stay correct).
Verified by a test that drives `cache_sent_task` directly with both task
shapes: the degraded one updates the entry to the fresh id, the healthy one
leaves it untouched. 125 bot tests + 91 x-media tests, live suite (14) pass.
`cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D
warnings` and `cargo test --workspace --locked` clean.
`link_cache` exists so a repeat link costs nothing: no source request, no
download, no upload. It was written only on a *successful* send, and a send
that failed permanently deleted the entry — so the user's immediate retry, the
one case where they are most likely to try again, re-fetched everything:
site requests, a download, and for a ugoira or a bsky video a full ffmpeg
encode. Invalidation is right about the cause (the cached Telegram file id is
what went stale) and wrong about the cure (the media and its URLs are usually
fine).
Cached media now carries the source URL it was sent from, and a permanent
failure *degrades* the entry: the file ids are cleared, the URLs and the
caption fields stay, and the next request sends from those URLs — Telegram
fetches the media (or the upload fallback does) with no source round trip.
That is the same media a fresh fetch would have produced (site CDN URLs are
stable per post), and it is bounded: an entry that is already degraded, or one
from before this field existed, is removed instead, so a dead post still ends
up re-fetched and reported rather than retried forever.
Verified: a cached send that fails permanently leaves the entry with its URL
and no file id, a second failure drops it, and a degraded entry sends the
media with no fetch at all (the mock records no reply, which is what the
fetch-error path would have produced). 124 bot tests + 91 x-media tests pass,
including a direct test of the two payload shapes.
`cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D
warnings` and `cargo test --workspace --locked` clean.
`link_cache` is only written *after* a send succeeds, so two chats posting
the same link at the same moment each ran a full fetch: two sets of source
requests, and for an ugoira or a bsky video two ffmpeg encodes of the same
post — minutes of CPU for the second one. The same applies to a batch
forward racing a queued retry. Within one message `dedupe_urls` already
handled the duplicates; across calls nothing did.
`fetch_shared` keys an in-flight fetch by the post's cache key: the first
caller runs it, the rest subscribe and take its result. The entry is removed
by a guard when the fetch settles (cancellation included), so this dedupes
what is *concurrent* and never answers from an old result — a repeat later
fetches again, and a failure is deliberately not cached: the user is told to
try again, and a cached failure would answer that retry from a stale state.
Two hazards that shape the code, each with a test: a broadcast channel lives
while *any* sender does, so the waiter drops its own clone of the sender
before waiting — otherwise a cancelled sharer would leave it waiting forever
— and a waiter whose sharer vanished fetches for itself instead of failing a
link that is perfectly fetchable.
One fetched post can now serve several sends, which the temp files behind
`Fetched::keep_alive` had to support: the field is `Arc<TempDir>` and the
accessor hands out references (the bot's `KEEP_ALIVE` registry holds the
same), so the ugoira/bsky MP4 stays on disk until the *last* task settles
rather than the first. `take_keep_alive` is gone — a `take` could only ever
serve one of the senders.
Verified: 116 bot tests (three new sharing tests, including the cancelled
sharer) and 91 x-media tests (a new one pinning the keep-alive refcount)
pass, plus a live check that two concurrent `fetch_shared` calls for one
tweet return the very same `Arc` after one fetch's worth of wall time.
`cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D
warnings` and `cargo test --workspace --locked` clean.
A queued retry that holds a local file — the ugoira MP4, a bsky remux, or a
temp file the reupload fallback downloaded — could never succeed after a
restart: those files live in the system temp dir and `send::KEEP_ALIVE`, the
registry that keeps them alive for the retry, is in memory. The row retried
into an upload error, said nothing about why, and dead-lettered the user's
link even though the payload carries the `source_url`.
`handlers::repair_lost_local_media` now runs in `main` before any worker
starts (so no row can be leased while it writes payloads, which is why it can
replace them without the lease guard a worker's write-back carries):
- `Task::local_media_paths` decides which rows are affected: any local path
that is gone. A partially delivered album is left alone — its remaining
batches cannot be reconciled with a fresh media list without risking a
second copy of what the user already received.
- The post is re-fetched from `source_url` through the ordinary `site::fetch`,
so a repaired task looks like a first send: fresh media, the chat's caption
format, a fresh link-cache snapshot, and a new keep-alive entry when the
re-fetch produced another local file.
- The delivery envelope (chat, reply, forward/edit settings, notify targets) is
kept, the attempt budget restarts, and nothing counts as sent.
- A post that cannot be fetched again (gone, withheld, site down) notifies the
user with that reason instead of letting the retry die on a missing file.
New queue plumbing: `runnable_rows()` (pending + in-progress rows, read before
the workers exist) and `replace_payload()` (rewrites the payload, resets
`attempts`, marks the row pending).
Verified: 5 new offline tests (the two decisions above against a real temp
file, the queue scan/replace, and the envelope-preserving rewrite) plus
`a_lost_local_media_row_is_refetched_from_its_post`, a live test that seeds a
row pointing at a missing file with a real bsky post as its source and asserts
the row now carries http(s) media and that nothing was sent — run against the
live API here. `cargo fmt`, `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked --
-D warnings` and `cargo test --workspace --locked` (187 passed, 15 ignored)
are clean.
P2 (hardening) of the retry audit, closing the report's remaining findings.
- Lease fencing. `lease_next` now stamps a random `lease_token`, and every
write-back a worker makes (the 30s heartbeat, `delete_row`, `reschedule`,
`mark_done`) is guarded by it. A lease that expired while its holder was
stalled and was then re-leased used to let *both* holders write the same row:
one duplicated the send, the other silently discarded the new holder's retry
(a 0-row update was not even logged). Now a worker that no longer holds the
lease drops its attempt at the next heartbeat and writes nothing. Reaching
existing databases needed a migration chain, which `db.rs` had been
pre-committed to: `MIGRATIONS` + `migrate` track `PRAGMA user_version`, with
`schema_init` as the version-0 baseline. Verified on a database created
before this change: user_version 0 -> 1, column added, rows intact.
- Dead-letter notifications no longer mislabel an unparsable payload. A row
whose payload no longer deserializes as a `Task` (an older version's shape,
corruption) used to skip the cache invalidation *and* report "Forward failed
permanently" for a send task, because both were derived from the parsed
value. The identity now comes off the raw JSON, so the stale link-cache entry
is dropped and the message names the post.
- Temp files are marked and swept. Every temp file/dir the project creates now
carries `x_media::TEMP_FILE_PREFIX`, and startup removes entries with that
prefix older than an hour — a killed process leaves its downloads (up to
hundreds of MB) behind because no destructor runs, and the age gate keeps the
sweep away from a second instance's in-flight files. Verified live: the log
reports the sweep, an aged leftover goes, a fresh prefixed file and an
unrelated file stay.
P0 of the retry audit. The main finding: a Telegram 5xx was classified
Permanent, so one Telegram-side blip dead-lettered the post.
- `classify_request_error`: a server error is retryable again. teloxide sleeps
10s on a 5xx and then parses the body, so the HTTP status is gone by the
time the error arrives; it is recognised by shape instead — a JSON
server-error description, or an `InvalidJson` whose raw body is not JSON
(a proxy/error page). A JSON body of the wrong shape stays permanent, since
retrying a type mismatch cannot help. Reproduced end to end: with the old
classification a fake 502 (HTML body) logged "failed permanently" and
dead-lettered; now it logs "queued for retry" and the retry delivers.
- The same class of mistake elsewhere: `is_media_fetch_failure` was missing
`failed to get HTTP url content`, the description single-media URL sends
answer with, so hotlink-rejected media failed permanently instead of going
through the reupload fallback.
- `enqueue_retry` now reports whether the row was written, and the callers
only promise a retry when it was — a failed enqueue (DB write) used to tell
the user "retrying in Ns" and then deliver nothing, ever.
- A forward that fails retryably now settles the prompt instead of leaving it
live: the queued row carries the message ids itself, and a live prompt let
a second Confirm copy the same messages to the channel twice and let Skip
answer "nothing was forwarded" while the row still delivered.
- A prompt that could not be sent no longer swallows the gated forward
silently: the chat is told, since nothing would ever forward.
- `scaled_retry_delay` only scales up, so a server-asked `retry_after` above
the 300s cap is honoured instead of retried early (which earned another 429
and then dead-lettered the post).
- Download classification: a 4xx media download is permanent (the media is
gone or refused) while transport errors and 429/5xx retry — previously every
download error counted as retryable and burned the whole budget. A temp-file
*write* failure retries too (resource exhaustion clears; a temp dir that
cannot be created stays permanent).
- Site status mapping: 401/403 are `Blocked` (permanent) rather than
`Transient`, so a refusal is reported at once instead of after three
wasted attempts; and a twitter 200 that is not a tweet is no longer
reported as withheld content (the empty `{}` withheld shape keeps
`Sensitive`, which is what triggers the auth fallback).
P0 (foundation) + P1 (diagnostic depth) of the logging plan:
- main.rs initializes the timed builder with a default filter of
`info,hyper_util=warn,reqwest=warn`. Without RUST_LOG nothing was logged at
all (env_logger falls back to `error`), so `docker run --env-file .env` was
silent, and the plain `init` had no timestamps.
- info-and-above lines stop printing user URLs (fetch/send failures, inline
fetch, bsky's remux warnings). The full URL, the message text and the inline
query move to `trace`, so a `debug` log can be handed to someone else.
- Lifecycle lines name the chat and the post: sent/failed/queued plus the
total `ms`, the edit prompt, the channel forward, and every queue line
(`chat=` + `[key=…]` + per-attempt `ms`, dead-letters included).
- Queue work is visible: `x-media`'s fetch line carries its duration (ugoira
encode and HLS remux included), and the 300s sweep reports the pending count
and how overdue the oldest task is — only when the queue is non-empty.
- URL workers are supervised like the queue workers: a panicking worker used
to die silently and shrink the pool for the rest of the process.
- Degradations that still serve the user (cache/state write or read failures,
a failed chat action) are `warn`, not `error`.
Verified against the scripted fake-API harness: unset RUST_LOG logs info with
timestamps, `debug` carries no user URL, `trace` does, a cache-hit send logs
`chat=111 in 5ms`, a failing send queues and dead-letters with chat+key, and
the sweep reports the pending retry.
`/start` was "Hello!" and `/help` was the bare command list teloxide can
render — no argument syntax, no caption placeholders, no mention that
links only work in private chats. Both now carry that guidance, and the
bot's profile description / short description are set at startup so a
shared link says what the bot does.
`/settings` reports what this chat is configured to do (forward channel,
edit-before-forward, per-site formats, saved templates) to anyone in the
chat — `/bot_dict` is a raw admin-only dump. Templates can be removed
(`/remove_template`, listing the live names on a typo) and the prompt's
keyboard folds 3 per row with a cap: Telegram rejects a keyboard over 100
buttons outright, which would silently drop the whole prompt.
Inline results hand URLs to Telegram, which fetches them without any
site headers — pixiv's pximg.net answers 403 to that, so those items are
skipped instead of shipped broken. `needs_media_headers` answers that
question from the same per-site rule the downloader uses.
Dead-letter and retry notices name the failing post and the cause
(`failure_text`), since "Task failed after retries: task failed after 2
retries" said neither which link it was nor what happened.
Four ways a user could get silence are closed: a registered-but-disabled
site (pixiv without a token) now answers instead of being dropped as an
unsupported link, `/test` on such a link replies instead of doing nothing,
a supported link posted in a group gets a one-line hint (channels stay
silent), and fetch failures name their cause — gone / withheld / source
risk control / site disabled / source down — instead of one generic
sentence. `FetchError::Disabled` carries the "matched but switched off"
answer, which `find_site` used to fold into `Ok(None)`.
A withheld tweet no longer degrades to "no media": without
`TWITTER_AUTH_TOKEN` it stays `Sensitive` so the reply says the media is
age-restricted, and a failed authenticated fallback propagates its own
class instead of masquerading as an empty post (`empty_fetched` is gone).
Long jobs stop looking stalled: `run_with_chat_action` re-sends the chat
action every 4s while the pipeline is pending and the hint switches from
typing to send-photo/video once the media kinds are known. Media groups
go from 9 to Telegram's 10.
`/set_format` rejects unknown `{…}` placeholders (a typo used to be
published verbatim in every caption) and resets with `-`. The
edit-before-forward prompt states its TTL and that Confirm is required,
gains a Skip button, and is rewritten in place to "expired" by the sweep
— an edit, never a new message, so a background timer cannot wake a chat.
send.rs had grown back into the shape handlers.rs was split out of: payload
types, error classification, the download-and-reupload fallback, the senders
and the whole post-send/queue shell in one file. Split by concern, leaving
call sites (`crate::send::x`) unchanged:
- `send/input_media.rs`: payload → `InputFile`/`InputMedia` selection and
`build_media_group` (with its caption-on-first-item rule).
- `send/upload.rs`: the fallback pipeline (download with the upload cap,
photo downscale handoff, smaller-URL fallback, multipart upload).
- `send/post_send.rs`: link-cache write, the `KEEP_ALIVE` registry for locally
produced media, `settle_task`, the post-send actions and the queue entry
points; the parts other modules call are re-exported.
- `send/mod.rs`: payloads, error classification, classification helpers and
the senders themselves, plus the test module.
No behaviour change: 128 + 1326 + 366 + 345 lines, 70 tests still pass.
AGENTS.md updated for the new layout and for `ctx.rs`.
