+## 2.9.26
+
+- **New**: Track inventory in the playback plan (OpenSpec change `track-selection`). The codec probe now parses EVERY input stream from the same ffmpeg banner, and the plan returns `audioTracks` and `subtitleTracks` — type-relative index, codec, language tag, `title` metadata, default disposition, and (for subtitles) a `textBased` flag (PGS/VobSub cannot become WebVTT).
+- **New**: Audio track selection for HLS sessions. `POST /api/transcode-sessions` accepts `audioTrackIndex`; the session maps `0:a:N` instead of always the first track, and the index is part of the session key, so switching tracks creates a fresh session (server-side restart) while the old one expires via the idle TTL.
+- **New**: Embedded subtitle extraction — `GET /api/subtitles?sourceKey&fileIndex&trackIndex` streams the chosen text subtitle track converted to WebVTT. Extraction reads the file up to the last cue, so on a cold torrent it drives the sequential download; callers must use a generous timeout. Non-text tracks (or a dead extraction) return 422 before any body.
+- **New**: `GET /api/sources/:sourceKey/files` lists the files of a registered source. Groundwork for magnet-link input (OpenSpec change `magnet-input` in the server repo): the browser parses `.torrent` files locally, but a magnet's file list only exists in swarm metadata — this route resolves the torrent (waiting for metadata on a cold magnet) and returns the inventory.
+- **Chore**: The announce log line strips the query string from the tracker URL — private trackers embed the account passkey there.
+
 ## 2.9.25
 
 - **New**: Observability (OpenSpec change `proxy-observability`). (1) `/healthz` and `/health` now include the proxy `version` — the addon shipped a stale proxy for a whole release and nothing could detect it remotely. (2) Peer-discovery diagnostics in `torrent-pool.js`: each added torrent logs its file count, `private` flag and tracker count; torrent-level `warning` events (tracker rejections/errors) are logged; every tracker announce response is logged with the seeder/leecher counts the tracker returned — so a zero-peer torrent is now explainable from the addon log. (3) Client-level WebTorrent warnings are logged too.

+# Proposal: Proxy as a single binary + service registration (research, queued)
+
+## Why
+
+Bare-npm installation assumes Node.js on the host — a real barrier for the
+non-technical proxy owners the pool model targets. Node's Single Executable
+Applications (SEA, stable-ish since Node 20/21) allow shipping the proxy as
+one self-contained binary per platform (win/linux/macOS, x64/arm64): download,
+run, done. A binary can also offer — with the user's explicit consent — to
+register itself as an auto-starting service, closing the "survives reboot"
+gap that the HA addon solves today.
+
+## What Changes (research scope first)
+
+- **SEA build pipeline**: `node --experimental-sea-config` + postject-injected
+  blob, one artifact per platform/arch, published as GitHub release assets
+  alongside the npm package.
+- **Known hard parts to resolve in research**:
+  - Native addons (`node-datachannel`, `utp-native`) cannot live inside the
+    SEA blob — they must ship next to the binary or self-extract on first
+    run to a data dir.
+  - `ffmpeg-static`'s binary likewise ships alongside (or the system ffmpeg
+    is required, as the HA addon already does with `--ffmpeg-bin`).
+- **Service registration (opt-in, explicit user action)**:
+  - Linux: `proxy install-service` writes a systemd unit and runs
+    `systemctl enable --now` (requires sudo — the consent step).
+  - Windows: register via `sc create` / a service wrapper (admin prompt =
+    consent).
+  - macOS: launchd plist in `~/Library/LaunchAgents` (user-level, no admin).
+  - Uninstall counterpart mandatory (`proxy uninstall-service`).
+- Stays deployment-agnostic: the binary is a fourth distribution channel
+  next to HA addon, bare npm and Docker; no code paths may assume it.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+
+- `distribution`: how the proxy is packaged and installed on bare hosts.
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+
+<!-- none -->
+
+## Impact
+
+- Build/release tooling in this repo; a `service` CLI subcommand.
+- No changes to runtime behaviour for existing channels.
+
+## Priority
+
+MINIMAL — explicitly NOT part of the POC (owner decision, 2026-07-07).
+Research for the eventual "pool of non-technical owners" product goal; do
+not pick up while any POC work remains.

+# 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-pool.js` (log masking).
+- Pairs with the server-side `track-selection-ui` change; requires the usual
+  ha-addon bump.

+# track-selection — delta spec
+
+## ADDED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: The playback plan lists every track
+The playback plan SHALL include `audioTracks` and `subtitleTracks` arrays
+parsed from the probe: for each track its type-relative index (what
+`-map 0:a:N` / `0:s:N` selects), codec, language tag, `title` metadata,
+default disposition, and — for subtitles — a `textBased` flag. Output-side
+streams of the probe run MUST NOT leak into the inventory.
+
+#### Scenario: MKV with an embedded subtitle
+- **WHEN** the plan is requested for an MKV with one video, one audio and one
+  ASS subtitle stream
+- **THEN** the plan lists exactly one audio track and one subtitle track with
+  `textBased: true`
+
+### Requirement: Audio track selection
+`POST /api/transcode-sessions` SHALL accept `audioTrackIndex` (type-relative,
+default 0) and the session SHALL map that audio track. The index SHALL be
+part of the session identity so different tracks never share a session.
+
+#### Scenario: Second audio track
+- **WHEN** a session is created with `audioTrackIndex: 1`
+- **THEN** ffmpeg maps `0:a:1` and a later request with `audioTrackIndex: 0`
+  gets a different session
+
+### Requirement: Embedded subtitles as WebVTT
+`GET /api/subtitles?sourceKey&fileIndex&trackIndex` SHALL stream the chosen
+embedded TEXT subtitle track converted to WebVTT, starting the response as
+soon as ffmpeg produces output. A track that produces no output (image-based
+or broken) SHALL return 422 before any body. Extraction MUST stop when the
+client disconnects.
+
+#### Scenario: Text track extracted
+- **WHEN** the client requests a text subtitle track
+- **THEN** the response is `text/vtt` starting with `WEBVTT` and real cues
+
+#### Scenario: Image-based track refused
+- **WHEN** the client requests a PGS/VobSub track
+- **THEN** the proxy responds 422 with an explanatory error

+# Tasks: Track inventory, audio selection and embedded-subtitle extraction
+
+## 1. Implementation
+
+- [x] 1.1 playback-planner: input-section stream scanner (index, codec,
+      language, title, default, textBased); `audioTracks`/`subtitleTracks`
+      in the plan (verified against real ffmpeg output from the owner's MKV:
+      hevc + flac + ass(eng) parsed, output streams excluded)
+- [x] 1.2 hls-session-manager: `audioTrackIndex` option → `-map 0:a:N`,
+      part of the session key; transcode-sessions route passthrough
+- [x] 1.3 routes/api/subtitles/get.js: streaming WebVTT extraction, 422 on
+      no-output tracks, kill on client disconnect, 30 min cap (verified:
+      real cues extracted from the embedded ASS track over the LAN proxy)
+- [x] 1.4 torrent-pool: mask the announce query string (passkey)
+
+## 2. Release
+
+- [ ] 2.1 `npm run patch` (2.9.26; needs npm 2FA), then ha-addon 0.2.48
+- [ ] 2.2 After the addon updates: verify plan lists tracks and
+      /api/subtitles serves VTT from the addon proxy
