Two gaps from real use:
- When all proxy instances are down (common), the fallback only dated WISHED
videos, leaving most as 'Earlier videos'. Now on proxy failure it flat-resolves
the channel's recent uploads and dates THOSE via yt-dlp (throttled, cached) —
so years populate fully even with no working proxy.
- A channel followed before the enricher existed was never queued ('nothing to
process'). /youtube/channels now sweeps: any followed channel not enriched
recently gets enqueued — so viewing the Channels tab (or the wishlist badge
refresh) picks up existing follows.
The detail page still reads cache+RSS (fast); the enricher fills the cache. 51
tests green.
- The standalone enricher now reports orb telemetry: stats()/pause()/resume();
/enrichment/youtube/status (+pause/resume) special-cased in the route. Added
the 4th header worker button (red ▶), WORKER_DEFS entry, and SERVICES wiring —
it's not on the socket so video-enrichment.js polls it every 3s. It animates
(idle → active orb + inbound pulses) while a followed channel's dates are being
fetched, like the TMDB/TVDB/OMDb orbs.
- Channel detail now uses the SAME standard watchlist button as shows/movies
(library-artist-watchlist-btn, ✓/＋ icon, 'In Watchlist'/'Watchlist') instead
of a bespoke 'Follow' — consistency. Still wired to the channel follow action.
176 backend tests green; JS balanced; music untouched.
Follow a channel → a background job fetches its FULL upload-date catalog so the
channel page's year-seasons populate fully, cached permanently (one-time per
channel, instant after).
- core/video/youtube.py: proxy_channel_dates() — no-key BULK dates via Piped/
Invidious instances (tries several, paginates); parse_proxy_dates handles both
shapes. The clean path the user wanted.
- core/video/youtube_enrichment.py: YoutubeDateEnricher daemon — enqueue(channel)
→ proxy bulk → cache; per-video yt-dlp only as a throttled fallback (cap 60,
0.4s) for wished videos when every proxy is down. Skips channels enriched in
the last 24h.
- db: youtube_channel_enrichment table + mark/check + wishlisted_video_ids_for_
channel. Enqueued from /youtube/follow and on opening a followed channel.
Scoped to FOLLOWED channels only (per request). 174 tests green; enricher imports
nothing from music.
