lidarr_missing_art.sh's album-directory-map loop (both the cache-hit and
live-fallback branches) and arr_profile_enforcer.sh's _is_kids_path()
called dirname/basename once per item -- 127K+ tracks and ~4000
series/movies respectively, each call forking a subprocess. Measured:
0.39s vs 72.2s for 20K calls, ~185x. Verified identical output against
real paths (including unicode/space/paren edge cases) before switching.
arr_full_rescan.sh, arr_cache_prefill.sh, and arr_rescan_monitor.sh were
missing the standard SAFEGUARDS header section other Arrs_Stack/Tools
scripts have. Also: arr_cache_prefill.sh now checks for an active rescan
before fetching, instead of doing a live fetch that arr_cache_write()
would just refuse to persist anyway -- avoids wasted API calls every
30min during a long rescan. arr_rescan_monitor.sh was also missing an
actual root check despite writing cache files; added it to match
convention rather than just document a safeguard that wasn't there.
Comment-only. Headers on the scripts touched during today's caching work
(cache-first fetches, write-through per-item cache, single-walk
consolidation, movieFile-embedded fix) still described pre-change
behavior. Also brought common.sh's top-level cache doc block current --
it was written for the single-consumer 2026-07-16 state and didn't
mention the tmpfs move, the write guard, or the 15+ consumers that now
go through it.
Every script that fetches the full Lidarr/Sonarr/Radarr tracked-library
list now goes through arr_get_tracked_data() instead of hitting the API
directly -- cache-first when fresh, live fetch as fallback when stale,
waits out an active rescan before either. Per-item file data (trackFile/
episodefile/moviefile) stays live-only everywhere, since that's the
actual disk-truth these scripts' decisions depend on and was never part
of what's cached.
Also adds arr_cache_prefill.sh to CRITICAL_MAINTENANCE_SCRIPTS (30min
tier) with a short 1min wait ceiling, so the cache stays consistently
fresh instead of only refreshing whenever some other script happens to
write through. A full cache refresh for all three arrs measured at ~12s
total live -- nothing like the multi-hour cost of an actual rescan.
A direct arr_cache_write() call mid-rescan wrote a partial snapshot that
looked like real data loss to every consumer of the cache. The guard now
lives in arr_cache_write() itself so every caller is protected, not just
arr_get_tracked_data(). arr_rescan_monitor.sh closes the resulting gap for
rescans triggered outside arr_full_rescan.sh's own trigger-and-wait path.
Codebase-wide audit pass: fixed real bugs (SSH hangs missing BatchMode,
local-outside-function no-ops, variable name collisions, a truncated
ratio calc, wrong state-dir path, DARK vs NO_INTERNET drift, and more),
then pulled logic that was duplicated across multiple scripts — arr
cleanup safety gates, docker restart ordering, container maintenance
stop/restart, watchdog state-file helpers, partnership role resolution,
cert expiry checks, remote node discovery, and TMDB discovery scoring —
into common.sh so each now has a single implementation.
Same audit as the orchestrator standardization pass (2a062e5), extended to
every remaining script. Found the same class of bug independently recurring:
ramdisk_stop.sh checked $LOG (nothing assigns it, should be $ENABLE_LOGGING),
partnership_onboard.sh checked $LOG_MODE (same issue), emby_session_report.sh
checked $TRANSCODE_PCT which was never computed so the high-transcode alert
could never fire, and storage_migrate.sh never called detect_hosts() so
$MY_ID was empty, silently breaking the post-migration host*.conf update.
partnership_manager.sh used `local` at top-level script scope (invalid outside
a function) and had two master.conf path references missing "Configurations/".
Along the way: several scripts (share_setup.sh, conf_sync.sh,
downloaders_reset.sh, transcode_cleanup.sh, transcode_manager.sh,
remote_arr_cache_writer.sh, upgrade_webhook_handler.sh) had no explicit
trailing exit code, so they always reported success regardless of real
failures. play_state_sync.sh was missing the partnership gate its own header
documented, so remote play-state sync ran even with PARTNERSHIP_ENABLED=false;
it also always exited 0 on sync errors. arr_profile_enforcer.sh and
webhook_setup.sh hand-rolled their own flag parsing instead of common.sh's
parse_args, so --log silently did nothing on either.
system_watchdog.sh was itself an un-standardized mini-orchestrator — converted
to the shared run_orch_child()/JOB_PASS/JOB_FAIL pattern, added the missing
failure notification, and fixed dry-run to pass --dry-run down to children
instead of skipping them outright. Also fixed a stale webgui_watchdog.sh path
in master.conf.template that would break system_watchdog.sh on any fresh
install.
Closed a sibling-drift gap: radarr_cleanup.sh and sonarr_cleanup.sh were
missing lidarr_cleanup.sh's tracked-count percentage-drop safety gate and its
"not configured on this host, skip cleanly" guard — both now match Lidarr's
7-gate model.
Every script now has the established header format: PURPOSE with ─────── separator,
OPERATIONAL MODEL, DESIGN PRINCIPLES, OPERATIONAL SAFEGUARDS, CONFIGURATION, and
RUNTIME MODES — structured with full ====== banner sections throughout.
Orchestrators converted from compact ── inline format to full banners. Stale
emby-fallback and dirty sync references removed from Plugin/user_script_plug-in.sh.
All state/data file paths in scripts and PHP now resolve via STATE_DIR / DATA_DIR /
PERSISTENT_CONF_CACHE instead of hardcoded /boot/config/ or /tmp/ paths, so the
ecosystem works in both internal and appdata storage modes.
PHP layer (watchdog.php, partnership.php, fallback.php, monitor.php, snapshot.php,
config.php): all state reads switched to STATE_DIR constant; remote state reads use
the new vv_remote_state_cmd() helper which resolves the remote's SCRIPTS_DIR via
their varaverk.cfg before building the path.
conf_sync.sh: fixed SCRIPTS_ROOT → SCRIPTS_DIR bug on MY_CONF path; added
_remote_scripts_dir() to resolve partner's SCRIPTS_DIR before SCP pull.
fallback.php page: added controls card (PARTNERSHIP_ENABLED, FALLBACK_ENABLED,
FALLBACK_RSYNC_ENABLED toggles), status grid, and settings card.
README and Manual updated for System_Essentials, Watchdogs, Fallback, Rsync,
Media, Monitors, Orchestrators, Partnership: added new scripts (conf_sync,
conf_cache_save/restore, conf_cache_watchdog, play_state_sync, start_webhook_listener,
upgrade_webhook_handler), corrected all stale /boot/config/ state file paths to
$STATE_DIR/$DATA_DIR, noted webgui/php_fpm/mover/user_scripts scripts moved to
Plugin/unraid/System_Essentials, fixed start_webhook_listener.sh header (Node.js,
not PHP -S).
Web files now served via symlink to the git repo so git pull changes survive
reboots without rebuilding the txz. Also includes: docker pull/rebuild/restart
with live log streaming, arr_profile_enforcer for Sonarr/Radarr quality
profiles, monitor page cache fix (background writer now in cron), and
ARR_KIDS/SONARR/RADARR profile name vars in master.conf.
Fix discrepancies found by auditing docs against headers:
- stability_watchdog.sh: wrong variable name (STRIKES → STRIKE_LIMIT) and wrong default (2hr → 12hr) in header
- Watchdogs manual: REBOOT_WINDOW_HRS example value was 2, should be 12
- Transcodes README: transcode_cleanup/manager table said "Every 3 min", should be "Every 7 minutes"
- Tools manual: fallback_state_reset.sh still marked "not yet built" — rewrite section to reflect current script
- Tools manual: claude_startup --setup flag doesn't exist; modes were inverted — fix and add --launch
- Tools README + manual: add docker_prune_images.sh (existed but undocumented)
- Tools manual: add play_state_sync.sh --full to flag reference
- Orchestrators README: arrs_failed_stalled_recovery runs via intermediate_sync (every 4hr), not standalone every 6hr
- Plugin README: add build.sh to scripts table
- Partnership README + manual: add partnership_transfer.sh and onboard_cancel.sh to script tables and flag reference
Behavior fixes:
- docker_daily_restart.sh: implement RESTART_VERIFY_WAIT sleep before
verify_running() — variable was logged as config but never applied
- cert_monitor.sh: --log now shows expiry date and days remaining for
healthy domains in the per-domain summary; problems always show details
Header corrections:
- downloaders_reset.sh: fix frequency contradiction (15 min → 30 min)
- lidarr_cleanup.sh: Emby scan triggers on actual deletions, not every run
- ssh_setup.sh: document --local-only flag in USAGE section
- zfs_memory_snapshot.sh: clarify dry-run skips log write in PURPOSE
- ramdisk_stop.sh / ramdisk_setup.sh: document TRANSCODE_STATE_FILE var
- smart_long_test.sh: remove SMART_TEMP_WARN/CRIT — not used in code
All bash scripts are now platform-neutral. Unraid-specific paths, commands,
and service checks moved to Plugin/unraid/adapter.sh. Core scripts call
platform_*() functions exclusively — no direct OS paths in runtime logic.
New adapter functions: platform_storage_path, platform_webui_install_path,
platform_scripts_dir_probe_cmd, platform_setup_db_path, platform_storage_healthy,
platform_is_service_enabled, platform_get_temp_thresholds, platform_disk_states_path,
platform_rebuild_container, platform_push_conf, platform_push_setup_state,
platform_get_templates_dir, platform_send_os_notification.
Partnership services stack (Emby/Jellyfin/Seerr/SeerrFin) added as third
onboarding stack alongside auth and arr stacks.
host.conf.template: add AUTH STACK section (NPM/lldap/Authelia) so
conf_upgrade.sh stops stripping those keys from host*.conf at 1am.
setup wizard: storage mode selector auto-detects USB vs NVMe at first
run; user can override; triggers storage_migrate.sh when mode differs
from current SCRIPTS_DIR location.
claude_startup.sh: reads HOST*_STORAGE_MODE_INTERNAL to pick internal
or appdata path rather than always requiring array to be mounted.
- Replace python3/PyYAML Authelia ACL parser with pure PHP (no deps available on Unraid)
- Cert tab now pulls live from NPM API instead of cert_monitor.sh — auto-discovers all managed certs sorted by urgency
- Watchdog page: add missing GB constant and _fmtBytes/_relTime functions that were causing silent render failure
- Rsync settings card: pin to far-right 3 columns (grid-column:6/-1), toggle grid narrowed to 2 columns
- Add CLAUDE.md project context file on /boot for session persistence across reboots
- claude_startup.sh: symlink CLAUDE.md into /root on array start
- Auth stack: fold cert monitor into Auth Stack page as fourth tab (Certs);
remove standalone cert page and top-level tab
- cert_monitor.sh: write JSON status cache to State_Files/cert_status.json
after each run; expose per-domain days/expiry via _CERT_DAYS/_CERT_EXPIRY globals
- api/cert.php: new — serves cached cert status; falls back to configured
domains as UNKN when no cache exists; POST action=run triggers live check
- arrs db fallbacks: vv_arr_cleanup_stats/discovery_stats/recovery_stats now
read from data/*.db files when log JSON files don't yet exist
- config.php vv_conf_vars(): unescape bash \$ → $ so passwords with dollar
signs read correctly from conf files
- host1.conf: fill in HOST1_NPM_USER/PASS and HOST1_LLDAP_USER/PASS
- Partnership adapter pattern: Unraid-specific container logic extracted to
Plugin/unraid/Partnership/; platform-agnostic structure stays in Partnership/
- First-run wizard: uniform multi-step flow for all hosts; HOST2 pull moved
to checklist; auto SSH keygen and API key creation on save
- api/checklist.php: live setup checklist with pull_master action
- Fullscreen toggle: hide Unraid header/menu; state persists via localStorage
Tests all drives sequentially (one at a time to avoid I/O saturation).
Polls every 60s until complete. Notifies on failure. Respects SMART_IGNORE_DRIVES.
Enable by uncommenting in MONTHLY_MAINTENANCE_SCRIPTS in master.conf.
zfs_pool_scrub.sh was already fully implemented — also uncommented locally.
Default behavior is now setup-only (symlinks + binary, no interactive launch)
so array_started.sh can call it directly without arguments. Use --launch to
start an interactive Claude session.
common.sh gains:
- docker_cmd() + verify_running() + retry_docker() — removed from all 3 Docker_Essentials
scripts where they were byte-for-byte duplicates
- emby_api(endpoint, [timeout=30]) — removed from 6 Media/Tools scripts that each defined
their own _emby_api() with the same curl/parse/error pattern; call sites renamed emby_api
- format_duration() extended with days/hours branch (was capped at minutes+seconds)
- notify() comment: scripts do not need to preflight the notify script via validate_unraid_cmd
Tailscale deduplication:
- arr_sync.sh: _resolve_node_ip() and inline block in _delete_remote_item() both replaced
with resolve_tailscale_ip() from common.sh
- git_pull_execute.sh: inline tailscale ip -4 replaced with resolve_tailscale_ip() (adds
the tailscale status fallback that was missing)
unRAID API rejects underscores and hyphens in key names — only letters, numbers,
and spaces allowed. Varaverk_HOST1 / Varaverk_Gmer4Lfe both fail; now uses
"Varaverk <hostname>" (space). Also adds monitor_remote.php, conf_populate.sh,
and conf_sync.sh from dev branch that were missing from production.
Skip list belongs to docker_watchdog, not stability_watchdog (legacy
naming from when docker+system were the only two watchdogs). Rename
variable and physical file system_watchdog_failed.db →
docker_watchdog_failed.db across all files.

Default still removes only dangling (untagged) images.
--all removes stopped containers first, then all images not used
by any running container — clears tagged orphan images left behind
by removed or stopped apps.
PHP architecture:
- Extract common.php from monitor.php — shared system functions (vv_system_info,
vv_memory_breakdown, vv_remote_hosts_stats, disk/GPU/UPS/network/docker/parity, etc.)
now live in one place; monitor.php and watchdog.php both require common.php
- Add unraid_api.php as explicit include (was implicit via config.php chain)
- confform.php: add missing require_once config.php (implicit dep made explicit)
- Delete orphaned pages/docs.php and pages/config.php (absorbed into scheduler)
Watchdog page:
- Add Storage watchdog card (growth + log strikes, baseline age, suppress ceilings)
- Add Network watchdog card (NPM strikes, DDNS domain/container, NPM URL)
- One host per row layout — all 5 watchdog cards equally spaced via inner grid
- Watchdog now uses Unraid API for local system stats; remote nodes with API key
but no SSH get system info from vv_remote_hosts_stats() with api_only flag
- SSH bundle: /proc/meminfo passed as raw section instead of awk-parsed header
fields — fixes RAM showing 0 on remote hosts where awk quoting was unreliable
- vv_wd_local_system() rewritten as thin wrapper over vv_system_info() + vv_memory_breakdown()
Monitor page:
- Watchdog card: add stability strikes, storage watchdog strikes, network NPM status,
live system stats (rootfs/log/tmp %, RAM free, load, CPU temp, zombies, NIC, sshd)
- Row height: switch from max-height on cards to minmax(0, calc(...)) on grid track —
all cards in a row now fill to the tallest card's height correctly (fixes Pools card
being shorter than neighbours)
Scheduler page:
- Add Tools section above Custom Scripts — lists Tools/*.sh with run/dry-run/cron/log
- vv_tools_scripts() function in scheduler.php include
Tools:
- Add docker_prune_images.sh — removes dangling Docker images; --dry-run and --status modes
master.conf:
- reorder ORCHESTRATORS section by run frequency; add missing entries
- remove heartbeat vars (watchdogs no longer run in continuous cycle)
- remove dead REMOTE_DOCKER_RETRY_WAIT and display-only watchdog interval vars
- move INTERMEDIATE_RSYNC_ENABLED into RSYNC two-tier block; reorder by frequency
common.sh:
- add missing info() and success() definitions — both were called throughout but never defined
- update output tier description to list all 5 functions
- fix double-icon in check_local_disk_temps() error/warn calls
- fix smashed curl/ssh command lines in notify_emby_scan() and check_remote_docker_daemon()
- update check_rsync_enabled() comment to include INTERMEDIATE, ordered by frequency
emby_to_radarr_sync.sh / emby_to_sonarr_sync.sh:
- wire up RADARR_EMBY_LIBRARIES / SONARR_EMBY_LIBRARIES; empty array now scans all libraries
