fix(tagging): refuse non-text default ids and keep one listener per list (#431 )

A default instructions id that is not text is a 400 on save and falls back with a warning on load; a damaged list warns once and migrates the old template afresh. Option clicks use one listener on the list, the reset note clears once the defaults are saved, and a duplicated long name is cut to fit.
feat(tagging): saved instructions with a default per engine (#431 )

-  Protected lists one row per kept prompt in the review's wording and order ("Prompt 7:
-  kept, pairs disagree on category: Adult, asian"), also complete in the report.
- Activity shows a row with no path as a record: its detail as plain text, never an open
-  or locate action, and the filter reads the detail. A maintenance job of records (every
-  operation but Missing-file links) says "No records in this group.", "No listed record

-### Thumbnail location contract (#320)
-
-Previews live in each source's `thumbnails/` (the default) or in one folder, `<folder>/<source key>/…`. Every reader,
-writer and remover asks `py/api/preview_store.py`; `tests/test_preview_store.py` fails on a `thumbnails` path join
-anywhere else. The setting is `thumbnails.location` in config.json, and only the Move thumbnails job writes it: POST
-`/settings` answers 409 `location-needs-move`.
-
- **Keys and marker.** A key is a slug plus a hash of the source's identity. The folder's
-  `.promptmanager-thumbnails.json` stores each key with its identity and install. Only a single `<slug>-<hex>` name
-  is ever joined onto the folder, and anything else in a marker is dropped. Every write and delete passes
-  `preview_store.may_write`: below a key folder, with no link, junction or reparse point on the way
-  (`tests/test_preview_store_folder.py`, including tampered markers).
- **Unavailable.** A folder is unavailable when it is missing, is a link, holds no marker or holds another
-  folder's marker. A probe checks it every 5 s, and a store call that fails or stalls marks it at once. While it is
-  unavailable:
-  - originals are served and nothing is written anywhere;
-  - generate, convert, clear and prune answer 409 `location-unavailable`;
-  - the folder is never made again except by Recreate folder.
-
-  The configured location is in force before any request. A bad value is `invalid`, never a fall-back to the
-  sources.
- **Move thumbnails.** The job is a `thumbnails` job with `scope.mode` `move` (`tests/test_thumbnail_move.py`). It
-  runs in this order:
-  1. The review answers `POST /images/thumbnails/plan`; not enough space answers 507.
-  2. A token starts the job.
-  3. Automatic previews are held.
-  4. Copies run on the job pool in chunks of 2 or 4 files, each with its size checked and its mtime rounded up to
-     2 s.
-  5. One config commit makes the switch and records the old stores under `cleanup`. The job cannot be cancelled
-     from here.
-  6. The old copies are removed.
-
-  If it fails or is cancelled before the switch, nothing changes. A crash leaves
-  `<data>/data/thumbnail-move.json`, which the next start undoes. Old copies still held open are removed by the
-  next start's "Move thumbnails (finishing)" job. Leaving a folder also removes the previews of this install's
-  sources that are no longer listed (Q320-8).
- **Remove thumbnails of removed sources** (`scope.mode` `prune`). It is offered in Thumbnail maintenance only in
-  folder mode, and it touches only this install's keys.
- **Page tests.** `tests/browser/workspace-thumbnail-location.spec.mjs` covers the row, both moves, the in-place
-  refusal, the confirmation, the notice with Recreate and with Use this folder. The legacy gallery runs once in
-  folder mode (`workflows.spec.mjs`). The hooks are `tests/browser/thumbnail_location_fixture.py`.

-Beyond the concept, against the approved static mock `docs/egm/post-3.4.1/320-mock`:

- D196: the Thumbnail location row in System › Sources & scans, after Thumbnail generation.
-  - The status line is "Now: inside each source." or "Now: one folder, <path>.". It does not show the mock's
-    "(3 sources, 8,512 thumbnails)" counts, because counting means walking every preview on each view. It says
-    "Using the default folder next to your library." and names old copies that wait to be removed.
- D197: the Move thumbnails review uses the shared review.
-  - A grid value may be a lead sentence with a list (`[lead, items]`).
-  - Sources no longer listed appear under "Removed after the move", where the mock has a "Not moved" row
-    (maintainer answer to Q320-8: remove).
-  - The Free space line is "<size> free", without naming the disk.
- D198: Activity's view of `mode: move` and `mode: prune`.
-  - Tiles for a move: Moved, Already there, Left in place, Errors. Tiles for a prune: Removed, Left in place,
-    Errors.
-  - The step line under the bar is `#job-phase`.
-  - Cancel shows only until the switch.
- D199: the unavailable notice on Overview and Sources & scans.
-  - Recreate folder appears for a missing folder, after a confirmation.
-  - Use this folder appears for another folder's marker.
-  - Change location focuses the row; on Overview it opens Sources & scans.
- D200: Thumbnail maintenance's "Remove thumbnails of removed sources" scope, with the plan line and a grid of

-"""Pair category and tags repair (#550): the ``pair_metadata`` maintenance plan.
-
-Before #546 a Pair node run saved its category and tags on the saved pair
-only; the positive prompt it created stayed Uncategorized and untagged. This
-plan fills the **empty** category and the **empty** tag set of those prompts
-from their saved pairs (``docs/egm/post-3.4.1/550-design.md``):
-
- Considered: prompts the Pair node created as a positive (their earliest
-  pair, in either role, has them as the positive and its ``created_at`` is
-  within ``PAIR_CREATED_TOLERANCE`` of theirs) whose category is blank
-  and/or that have no tags.
- Sources: the prompt's non-archived pairs where it is the positive. Pairs
-  with a blank category or no tags are ignored for that field. A field fills
-  when exactly one value remains (category: trimmed, case-sensitive; tags:
-  the tag-id set).
- Kept (protected), in this order: archived prompt, edited prompt
-  (``updated_at`` not within the tolerance of ``created_at``), pairs that
-  disagree, a tag set over ``MAX_LIBRARY_TAGS``.
-
-The apply runs in the caller's ``BEGIN IMMEDIATE`` transaction, recomputes
-the fingerprint, then writes guarded statements (the field must still be
-empty) that never touch a pair, a negative or ``updated_at``. A guard that
-hits nothing raises ``PlanChanged`` so the whole transaction rolls back.

-"""Where previews live on disk (#320): the one resolver.
-
-Every mapping between an image source (a "root"), one of its media files and
-that file's preview on disk goes through this module. URL text stays in
-``thumbnail_settings`` (``thumbnail_rel``: ``thumbnails/<rel>_thumb<ext>``,
-the shape the serve route, ``inspection-state.mjs`` and ``admin.js`` share);
-this module answers where such a preview is on disk.
-
-The store of a source is where its previews live. With the default location
-(mode ``source``, "Inside each source") it is ``<source>/thumbnails``, exactly
-the folder every caller joined by hand before, so nothing moves.
-
-Writes and the switch: every preview writer takes ``write_guard`` when it
-starts (it records the location's ``generation``); the final rename runs
-under ``write_lock`` and only when the generation is unchanged and no hold
-applies (``thumbnail_encode.replace_unless_held``). Changing the location
-bumps the generation under the same lock, so no write that began before can
-land in the old store afterwards. Nothing reads or commits config while
-``write_lock`` is held. The hold check runs under it too, so hold checks take
-no lock (the job registry's ``running()`` is a lock-free snapshot) and
-``bump_generation`` is never called with a registry or config lock held.
-
-All functions are blocking: call them off the event loop.

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
Vito Sansevero	259ad65b3f	fix(tagging): refuse non-text default ids and keep one listener per list (#431 ) A default instructions id that is not text is a 400 on save and falls back with a warning on load; a damaged list warns once and migrates the old template afresh. Option clicks use one listener on the list, the reset note clears once the defaults are saved, and a duplicated long name is cut to fit.	2026-10-31 18:28:55 -07:00
Vito Sansevero	f2f40b80e8	feat(tagging): saved instructions with a default per engine (#431 ) System > Auto-tagging gets Saved instructions (D203): Built-in first and read-only, saved entries with New, Duplicate and Delete, and a default for GGUF and for HuggingFace JoyCaption. A template saved by an older version becomes "Custom template", the default for both engines, in memory at load; the next save that touches either key writes the list. Every such save also mirrors the GGUF default into the old template key (deleted when it is Built-in) so a downgrade keeps working. The batch review names the engine's default (D205). The legacy blank-prompt fallbacks and default_prompt read the engine's default.	2026-10-31 18:19:09 -07:00
Vito Sansevero	90c5848b13	test(tagging): classify the Skipped tags preview route as reading no media (#431 )	2026-10-31 17:25:20 -07:00
Vito Sansevero	5981e1d9e3	fix(tagging): skip a damaged WD14 label list in the preview (#431 )	2026-10-31 17:16:23 -07:00
Vito Sansevero	66f8071198	test(tagging): count the Skipped tags block as one concept difference (#431 )	2026-10-31 17:07:16 -07:00
Vito Sansevero	a20e59f674	feat(tagging): skipped tags hide matching suggestions (#431 ) A Skipped tags list in System > Auto-tagging (D202) hides every suggested tag whose words contain an entry's words, on every suggestion path (Tag image, Auto-tag selected, the System batch, the legacy single and batch routes), before the limit. Jobs snapshot the list at their start. A read-only preview route counts what a list hides among the library's tags and the downloaded WD14 label lists. The draft store compares list and object drafts by value (sameDraft).	2026-10-31 16:43:15 -07:00
