-# seek-debounce — delta spec (proxy)
-
-## ADDED Requirements
-
-### Requirement: Scattered post-seek segment requests collapse to one restart
-
-When segment requests land outside the running encode's look-ahead window
-(server-side seeks), the proxy SHALL NOT restart ffmpeg on each one. It SHALL
-wait a short settle period, treating further out-of-window requests as
-re-arming the period and updating the target to the most recently requested
-index, and then restart the encoder exactly once at the settled target. A
-fixed cap SHALL bound the total settle wait so a genuine seek is not delayed
-indefinitely while the scrubber is still moving. During the settle the
-segment route behaves as before (long-poll / client retry).
-
-#### Scenario: Scrub emits a burst of scattered requests
-- **WHEN** a player, after a seek, requests several far-apart segments in
-  quick succession (e.g. 367, 732, 369, 368, 370)
-- **THEN** ffmpeg is restarted only once, at the last requested index, and
-  produces a continuous run from there — no ping-pong between positions
-
-#### Scenario: Settle resolves on the wrong position
-- **WHEN** the settled restart target turns out not to be where the player
-  ultimately needs to play (e.g. it was a lone probe request)
-- **THEN** the player's next out-of-window request arms exactly one more
-  settle and one more restart — never an unbounded restart loop
-
-#### Scenario: Request falls back inside the window
-- **WHEN** a requested segment is within the current run's look-ahead window
-- **THEN** it is served by the running encode with no restart and without
-  affecting any pending settle
-
-### Requirement: A pending settle never outlives its session
-
-When a session is disposed, any pending settle timer SHALL be cleared so it
-cannot fire and restart a disposed session.
-
-#### Scenario: Session disposed mid-settle
-- **WHEN** a session with a pending seek-settle timer is disposed (idle TTL,
-  shutdown, or teardown)
-- **THEN** the timer is cleared and no encode restart occurs afterwards

-# Proposal: Proxy owns subtitle conversion + content-based language detection
-
-## Why
-
-Subtitle language was guessed only from the filename, so a file without a
-language code (e.g. the Enola release's `.srt`) showed "Unknown", and the
-owner specifically does not want Ukrainian and Russian confused. Reliable
-detection needs an n-gram model on the actual text — which belongs on the
-proxy (Node, node_modules, no per-browser payload, and the subtitle bytes are
-right there) rather than in the browser.
-
-## What Changes
-
-- The proxy becomes the single owner of subtitle content: `GET /api/subtitles`
-  now also serves EXTERNAL subtitle files (no `trackIndex`) — it reads the
-  file, decodes its encoding (UTF-8 or Windows-1251, common for Russian
-  `.srt`), and converts `.srt`/`.ass`/`.ssa` → WebVTT here. The browser no
-  longer converts.
-- The proxy detects the language from the full text with `franc` (n-gram /
-  trigram, MIT), restricted to a curated set of plausible subtitle languages
-  (distinguishes ru/uk/bg/sr and Latin languages; avoids short-text false
-  positives like English→Scots), and reports it in `X-Subtitle-Language`
-  (+ `X-Subtitle-Language-Name`). Embedded tracks detect from the first chunk
-  of extracted VTT.
-- The browser sets each track's language by priority: explicit code in the
-  filename / container metadata (author intent) → proxy content detection →
-  the film's audio-track language (forced-signs subs usually match the dub)
-  → Unknown.
-
-## Capabilities
-
-### New Capabilities
-
-- `subtitle-language`: proxy-side subtitle conversion, encoding handling and
-  content-based language detection.
-
-### Modified Capabilities
-
-<!-- track-selection covered embedded extraction; this extends /api/subtitles
-     to external files and adds detection. Its change is unarchived, so this
-     lands as a new capability rather than a delta. -->
-
-## Impact
-
-- proxy: new `services/subtitle-convert.js`, `services/language-detect.js`
-  (franc dep), extended `routes/api/subtitles/get.js`.
-- server: `components/loading/loading.js` fetches VTT from the proxy for
-  external subs (drops client-side conversion) and applies the language
-  priority; browser franc/alphabet detection removed.
-- Pairs with a server release; requires the ha-addon bump.

-# Design: Track inventory, audio selection and embedded-subtitle extraction
-
-## Context
-
-The probe already captures the full ffmpeg `-i` banner; the HLS session
-manager already restarts ffmpeg per (source, file, settings) key; the
-`/stream` route already drives prioritised sequential download. All three
-features ride those mechanisms.
-
-## Goals / Non-Goals
-
-**Goals:** expose every track; select audio server-side; deliver embedded
-text subtitles as WebVTT.
-
-**Non-Goals:** seamless (no-restart) audio switching via HLS alternate
-renditions; image-based subtitles (PGS/VobSub — needs OCR or burn-in);
-subtitle extraction that avoids downloading the file (impossible: cues are
-interleaved across the whole container).
-
-## Decisions
-
-1. **Parse tracks from the existing probe output** (zero extra probe cost).
-   The scanner reads only the Input section — ffmpeg prints Stream lines for
-   the null output too, which would duplicate every track (caught against
-   real output). Titles come from each stream's `title` metadata line.
-2. **Audio switch = new session.** `audioTrackIndex` joins the session key;
-   the old session dies via the existing idle TTL. Reuses the proven
-   seek-restart machinery instead of building HLS alternate renditions;
-   the cost is a few seconds' gap on switch — acceptable v1.
-3. **Extraction as a streaming route.** ffmpeg writes WebVTT to stdout piped
-   into the HTTP response; the first stdout chunk decides 200-vs-422 (a
-   non-text track dies before producing output). Client disconnect kills
-   ffmpeg; a 30-minute hard cap guards dead swarms. The transport layer's
-   60 s request timeout must be raised per-request by the browser (done in
-   the paired server change).
-4. **Accepted v1 cost:** extraction reads to the last cue → cold torrents
-   download while extracting. For the transcode path the file downloads
-   anyway; for direct play this is extra traffic the viewer opted into by
-   picking a subtitle.
-
-## Risks / Trade-offs
-
-- [Extraction competes with playback for piece priority] → both readers move
-  the 8 MB critical window; sequential download serves both. Field-watch; if
-  playback stalls appear, throttle extraction reads later.
-- [Stream-line format drift across ffmpeg versions] → regex kept permissive;
-  a parse miss degrades to an empty inventory (menus simply do not appear).

-# Proposal: Track inventory, audio selection and embedded-subtitle extraction
-
-## Why
-
-Torrents routinely carry several audio languages and embedded subtitles
-(the owner's own test MKVs embed ASS subtitles), but the proxy exposed only
-"the first audio track" and no subtitles at all: the probe reported a single
-audio/video codec pair, the HLS session hard-mapped `0:a:0`, and embedded
-subtitle streams were unreachable by the browser.
-
-## What Changes
-
-- **Probe returns the full track inventory**: `audioTracks` and
-  `subtitleTracks` in the playback plan (type-relative index, codec,
-  language, `title` metadata, default flag, `textBased` for subtitles) —
-  parsed from the same single ffmpeg banner, no extra probe cost.
-- **Audio selection**: `POST /api/transcode-sessions` accepts
-  `audioTrackIndex`; the ffmpeg map becomes `0:a:N` and the index joins the
-  session key (switch = fresh session via the existing restart machinery).
-- **Embedded subtitle extraction**: `GET /api/subtitles` streams a chosen
-  text subtitle track as WebVTT (ffmpeg `-map 0:s:N -f webvtt`). Image-based
-  tracks (PGS/VobSub) are refused with 422. Known cost, accepted for v1:
-  extraction reads the file to the last cue, so a cold torrent downloads
-  sequentially while extracting.
-- Announce log masks the tracker query string (passkey).
-
-## Capabilities
-
-### New Capabilities
-
-- `track-selection`: track inventory in the plan, audio mapping, subtitle
-  extraction.
-
-### Modified Capabilities
-
-- `observability`: announce log masks the passkey (delta note; the change is
-  still unarchived so the edit lands there).
-
-## Impact
-
-- `services/playback-planner.js`, `services/hls-session-manager.js`,
-  `routes/api/transcode-sessions/post.js`, new `routes/api/subtitles/get.js`,
-  `server.js` wiring, `services/torrent/torrent-pool.js` (log masking).
-- Pairs with the server-side `track-selection-ui` change; requires the usual
-  ha-addon bump.

+- **Embedded subtitle extraction**: `GET /api/subtitles` streams a chosen
+  text subtitle track as WebVTT (ffmpeg `-map 0:s:N -f webvtt`). Image-based
+  tracks (PGS/VobSub) are refused with 422. Known cost, accepted for v1:
+  extraction reads the file to the last cue, so a cold torrent downloads
+  sequentially while extracting.
+- Announce log masks the tracker query string (passkey).
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+
+- `track-selection`: track inventory in the plan, audio mapping, subtitle
+  extraction.
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+
+- `observability`: announce log masks the passkey (delta note; the change is
+  still unarchived so the edit lands there).
+
+## Impact
+
+- `services/playback-planner.js`, `services/hls-session-manager.js`,
+  `routes/api/transcode-sessions/post.js`, new `routes/api/subtitles/get.js`,
+  `server.js` wiring, `services/torrent/torrent-pool.js` (log masking).
+- Pairs with the server-side `track-selection-ui` change; requires the usual
+  ha-addon bump.
