Reader mode presents the stories on a page one at a time in a focused
overlay, marking each read as it's shown. Left/right arrows (or the header
book button / `f`) page through them; read stories dim on the grid. Read
state is device-local in localStorage.
Backing this required actually capturing article bodies, which Pete wasn't
doing — it kept only the RSS <description> lede and discarded content:encoded:
- stories.content column (idempotent migration; old rows fall back to lede)
- parser keeps content:encoded as paragraph-preserving text
- article fetch already done for paywall detection now also returns its body,
so ingest stores the richer of feed-content vs scraped body with no extra
request (prefers the archive snapshot body for paywalled stories)
- GET /api/article?id= serves the stored text; card queries now select id and
expose it as data-id for the reader
Tests cover content extraction, the storage round-trip, and the article
endpoint + card rendering end to end.
Track per-page/per-channel view counts and a privacy-preserving daily
unique-visitor estimate (salted IP+UA hash, salt rotated daily and never
persisted). No third-party analytics, no JS beacon. Surfaced via the
admin-gated !petestats Matrix command (named to avoid an existing !stats
bot in the rooms).
Manual !post overrides were counted toward daily_cap_total, so a few
forced posts could starve the round-robin rotation for the rest of the
day. Tag forced rows in post_log and skip them in CountAllPostsInWindow
so the cap only meters the auto-rotation.
- Add internal/safehttp: hardened HTTP client (DNS-resolved dial guard
blocking loopback/RFC1918/CGNAT/link-local, redirect re-validation,
body-size cap) and rewire article/feed/thumb clients through it
- Cap goquery body at 5 MiB so a hostile origin can't OOM the process
- search.js: reject non-http(s) hrefs to block stored XSS via javascript:
- dedup: tracking-param key "CMP" was unreachable (lookup lowercases);
fixed to "cmp" so CMP= is actually stripped from canonical URLs
- ForcePost: postItem now returns bool; on dedup-skip ForcePost returns
false so !post falls back to DB lookup instead of silently consuming
- Bound reaction callbacks behind an 8-slot semaphore; drop overflow
- Add stories indexes on (channel, classified, seen_at DESC),
(classified, seen_at DESC), and partial image_url to kill full scans
in IsKnownImageURL and ORDER BY seen_at hot paths
- Surface FTS5 probe Scan error instead of swallowing it
Bypass-UA retry (Googlebot + Google referer) for soft paywalls, JSON-LD
gating scoped to Article-typed nodes, HTTP 402 treated as explicit
paywall, Wayback freshness filter (30d cap), archive.today as secondary
archive fallback, and transport failures no longer trigger snapshot
swaps. When gating is detected and no archive workaround succeeds, the
story is stored with paywalled=1 and the web card renders a diagonal
red rubber-stamp overlay so readers know the link is gated.
Pete moves to a remote host without Ollama access. Every source must
declare a direct_route channel; the classifier, explainer, semantic
dedup, !explain summaries, feed_hint, and the recent_headlines /
classification_log tables are gone. Deterministic dedup (canonical URL,
headline_norm, per-channel cooldown) remains.
Source-keyed rotation skewed toward whichever channel had the most
feeds (4 of 7 sources routed to politics, so politics dominated the
rotation). Channel-keyed rotation guarantees variety regardless of
feed counts.
Schema: round_robin_state.last_source -> last_channel, added via
addColumnIfMissing so existing DBs migrate in place.
