The objective did almost nothing
It scoped question counts and nothing else, which is why changing it appeared to
have no effect. An exam now carries a family (USMLE, COMLEX, boards), a
description, and the article views it offers, and `/exams/` reports what the
current objective actually changes rather than leaving the learner to guess.
Reading follows from it: an article returns only the views its objective allows,
so someone revising a basic-science step is never shown bedside dosing they must
not act on — a view you can open but must never use is worse than one you were
never offered. An editor still gets the whole article, because they cannot edit
what they cannot see. An objective configured to show nothing falls back to all
three; that is a configuration mistake, not a preference worth honouring.
Unused figures deleted, at the user's request
3,262 figures — 334 MB — that nothing had ever used. "Unused" was defined by
exclusion and every exclusion was checked rather than assumed: kept if any
question uses it as a stem or explanation image, if any question version
mentions it, or if it appears in article prose or a flashcard. 440 kept, and
five question figures spot-checked as still readable afterwards. MinIO is now
596 objects, 520 MB, down from 3,858 and 854 MB.
This is not reversible from the application; the nightly borg backup of the
volume is the only way back, and that is stated in the script rather than
assumed.
For the record, since it was asked: the extraction is PyMuPDF, with an MD5 skip
list for repeated branding images. It pulled every embedded image from all 18
source PDFs, which is why one 767-page document alone produced 908 of them.
208 backend tests green.
