The archive modeler claims WROLPi's own singlefiles, but a foreign
compressed (SingleFileZ) HTML file (e.g. saved by the browser extension and
dropped into the media directory) falls through to the generic HTML
indexer, which crashed reading the binary ZIP tail as text. The indexer
now reads bytes and indexes the index.html inside the ZIP.

* Singlefile runs under Deno 2.8.3; browser leftovers are reaped.
single-file-cli is designed for Deno. Under node 18 (Debian 12/RPi OS) it
cannot reach the browser CDP on IPv6-enabled hosts ("localhost" resolves to
::1 first with no IPv4 fallback) and it never exits after a successful save,
blocking the download worker forever.
The native path and the Archive docker container now run single-file with
"deno run". Deno is pinned at v2.8.3 everywhere because yt-dlp 2026.06.09
requires at least 2.3.0 (our node is Debian's v18, below yt-dlp's v22
minimum). Deno >= 2.3 kills the browser single-file spawns (piped stderr
that single-file never reads), so the browser is run through
singlefile_browser_wrapper.sh which discards its stderr.
Commands are run in their own process group which is killed when they
finish, reaping the browser single-file leaves behind. The Archive
downloader now has a ten minute timeout. Install scripts install Deno
(previously only upgrade.sh and the image builds did).
* Singlefile writes to a file instead of dumping to stdout.
Deno >= 2.3 truncates large --dump-content output at exit; compressed
(SingleFileZ) singlefiles of large pages lost their ZIP tail, failed the
compression check in write_archive_files, and were destroyed by the HTML
prettifier (blank white archives). single-file now writes its result to a
temporary file which WROLPi reads back.
As insurance, a singlefile marked compressed (<html data-sfz) whose ZIP is
unreadable is now stored verbatim instead of being prettified.
* Compressed Archive screenshots and readability images are no longer broken.
The index.html inside a compressed (SingleFileZ) singlefile references its
resources by relative ZIP paths. Screenshots are now taken from the fully
extracted ZIP so those references resolve. Readability images are inlined
as data URIs read from the ZIP (readability-extractor absolutizes relative
srcs against the page URL, so both forms are matched).
* Compressed Archives are created by converting the uncompressed capture.
The page is always captured uncompressed; readability, screenshot, and
title come from that canonical page (its images are inline data URIs, so
no ZIP extraction or image inlining is needed). When compress_singlefile
is set, a second single-file run converts the captured file into a
compressed (SingleFileZ) self-extracting file. The conversion is a local
file:// operation - the page is not fetched again, and single-file
preserves the original URL header when re-saving its own pages. If the
conversion fails, the uncompressed singlefile is stored instead.
* Consolidating duplicate compressed-singlefile tests.
The write_archive_files tests (verbatim write, title fallback, broken-ZIP
guard, readability inlining) are combined into one test; the helper probes
and the setting-plumbing tests are each merged into one. The do_singlefile
compression-failure scenario and the timeout constant are folded into the
main do_singlefile test, which shared their setup.
* Addressing review comments: removeprefix, PermissionError when killing.
* Bumping version to 0.24.1-beta.
* Install scripts assert the deno.zip hash to avoid malicious or invalid files.
The hashes are the official sha256sum assets of the Deno v2.8.3 release,
per architecture.
* Archive Dockerfile asserts the deno.zip hash to avoid malicious or invalid files.

* Archives can be compressed (SingleFileZ self-extracting HTML).
A new compress_singlefile download setting runs single-file with
--compress-content, creating a self-extracting HTML file which is also a
valid ZIP. Only the singlefile .html is compressed; readability files are
always written uncompressed. Readability, screenshots, titles, and URLs
are extracted from the index.html inside the ZIP. A Compress checkbox in
the Archive and RSS download forms remembers the user's choice in local
storage.

The extension is hosted in a sibling repo and
is distributed off-store. Each WROLPi release ships the prebuilt artifacts
under wrolpi/static/extensions/ and serves them at /api/extensions/<file>:
- wrolpi-chrome.zip Load-Unpacked sideload for Chrome / Brave / Edge
- wrolpi-firefox.xpi Mozilla-signed (unlisted self-distribution),
one-click install in any Firefox
- versions.json Per-browser version metadata for the install page
Backend (modules/archive/api.py, wrolpi/root_api.py):
- POST /api/archive/upload accepts an optional repeated `tagNames`
multipart form field; the upload switch handler applies tags to the
new FileGroup via FileGroup.set_tags(). Unknown tag names are auto-
created inside a per-name SAVEPOINT so concurrent inserts on the same
novel name don't abort the transaction (Tag.name has unique=True).
- GET /api/extensions returns metadata (per-file availability + size +
versions.json contents) for the install page.
- GET /api/extensions/<filename> serves the binary, whitelisted by
filename. Firefox .xpi is served as application/x-xpinstall WITHOUT a
Content-Disposition: attachment header, so Firefox triggers its
add-on install handler instead of saving the file.
Frontend (app/src/):
- New /admin/extension page (linked from AdminRoute) detects the user's
browser via navigator.userAgent and renders an install card per
Firefox / Chromium / Other. Pulls metadata from /api/extensions to
show file size and version, and gracefully reports 'Not yet
available' when binaries are missing.
- Dashboard's Getters component supports a deep link from the
extension's 'Configure Download' button:
/?downloader=<archive|video|...>&download_url=<u1>&download_url=<u2>
On mount, the matching downloader form auto-opens with URLs pre-
filled. Query params are cleared on close so a refresh doesn't
re-open the modal.
- DownloadMenu and the per-downloader forms accept an `initialUrls`
seed via the existing `download` prop pattern, joined with newlines
for the `urls` textarea (and first URL for single-URL forms).
Behavior is fully backwards compatible: pre-existing API callers can
still POST to /api/archive/upload without `tagNames`, and the
DashboardPage modal continues to open via the existing button click
when no deep-link query params are present.
* Batch reorganization is supported for both Domain and Channel Collections.
* Batch reorganization happens when any Collection does not match the respective file format. For example, a Channel Collection file format that does not match the `yt_dlp_options.file_name_format` will show `needs_reorganization`.
* Individual Collections can always be reorganized. The reorganization is a little more aggressive. Useful for when some files may have been missed in the batch reorganization.
Introduces FileWorker for background file operations with dual-queue
architecture (public/private). Handles refresh, move, and rename tasks
with progress tracking, job completion monitoring, and batch processing.
Compares DB FileGroups to filesystem state using FileGroupDiff to detect
new/modified/deleted files. Designed for memory efficiency on Raspberry Pi.

Moving downloading relationships from Channel to Collection.
Created domains.yaml config to manage tagged domain collections.
Adding turn-key upgrade solution in the UI.
Python 3.11 is now required, old versions were causing unpredictability in tests. (Sanic does not yet
support 3.12)
Sanic has been upgraded to 23.6.0, which is the latest version that avoids this bug:
https://github.com/sanic-org/sanic/issues/2921
New strategy for multiprocessing is to create all multiprocessing tools in one process, then fork
to other processes. The previous strategy was to declare multiprocessing tools at the top of every
file, or wherever they were needed at import/creation. Now all multiprocessing tools are attached to the
app.shared_ctx. This means `api_app` is imported in many, many places.
This forced a change in how the DownloadManager works. Previously, it would continually run
download workers which would pull downloads from a multiprocessing.Queue. Now, a single worker checks
for new downloads and sends a Sanic signal.
Flags have been reworked to use the `api_app`. I removed the `which` flag functionality because the
`which` are called at import and needed their own multiprocessing.Event.
Parsing SingleFile datetime using dates.strpdate.
Adding timezone when no timezone info is available.
Installing python-dateutil to assist in handling diverse datetime strings.
Reworking refresh progress to use idempotency to display more accurate progress. Only logging that files have been invalidated if they used to be indexed.
Clearing archives to force re-index.
