- * This module answers only which file goes with which; what is inside a file is

- * shown is composed in the browser, where the locale is known.
- *
- * **Why it lives in `torrent/`.** A container knows only itself, and a track
- * knows only its container; "the file next to this one" is a notion that exists
- * only where there is a LIST of files, which is the torrent. So this is the
- * torrent's own statement about itself, in the layer that holds them, and it is
- * the reason the folder exists.
- *
- * Nothing here reads bytes, waits on the swarm or knows about ffmpeg. It is a
- * function of the torrent's own list of names, which is why it can be tested
- * outright.
- *
- * A note on the axes this fits into. A file beside the video is NOT a third kind
- * of track: `<name>.mka` is a Matroska container holding an audio track, and
- * `MatroskaContainer` reads it exactly as it reads the picture's own tracks. So
- * "external" is not a type — it is only the answer to WHERE a track lives, and
- * that answer belongs here rather than in `tracks/`, which describes what a

+ *    shape Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, Bazarr and OpenSubtitles all produce;
+ * 3. they share a release hash, which anime releases carry.
+ *
+ * Rule 2 was missing here and present in the browser, as a plain "begins with",
+ * and the two were compared nowhere. Measured 2026-09-04 over the 115 torrents

+ * paired: a track offered but never warmed waits for its first piece off the
+ * swarm, 27.7 s in the field measurement of 2026-08-31.
+ *
+ * The boundary is what makes rule 2 safe, and a plain "begins with" is not the
+ * same rule: without it `Film.20.rus.srt` pairs with `Film.2.mkv` — measured,
