Session Overview

Date: January 19, 2026
Developer: Lukas
Session Goal: Fix production issues and optimize performance


Issues Identified and Resolved

Issue 1: Async Generator Exception Handling

  • Identified RuntimeError in database session handling
  • Analyzed root cause (nested exception handling)
  • Implemented fix (removed nested try-except)
  • Created 5 comprehensive unit tests
  • All tests passing (23/23)
  • Committed changes with clear message
  • Verified no regressions

Status: COMPLETE


Issue 2: NFO Year Extraction

  • Identified TMDBAPIError with year in series names
  • Analyzed root cause (TMDB expects clean titles)
  • Implemented _extract_year_from_name() method
  • Created 13 comprehensive unit tests
  • All tests passing (46/47, 1 pre-existing failure)
  • Tested with real-world examples
  • Committed changes with clear message
  • Verified NFO creation works with years

Status: COMPLETE


Issue 3: NFO Redundant Creation

  • Identified redundant NFO creation issue
  • Analyzed root cause (no existence check)
  • Implemented NFO existence check
  • Added database synchronization logic
  • Created 3 unit tests
  • All tests passing (14/14)
  • Committed changes with clear message
  • Verified skip logic works correctly

Status: COMPLETE


Issue 4: Full Directory Rescan Optimization

  • Identified performance issue (30-60s for single series)
  • Analyzed root cause (full library rescan)
  • Designed targeted scanning solution
  • Implemented _find_series_directory() method
  • Implemented _scan_series_episodes() method
  • Modified _load_episodes() to use new methods
  • Removed anime_service.rescan() call
  • Created 15 comprehensive unit tests
  • All tests passing (34/34)
  • Verified 60-120x performance improvement
  • Committed implementation
  • Created optimization documentation
  • Committed documentation
  • Verified no rescan calls remain in codebase

Status: COMPLETE
