Recovery script only matched importFailed/importPending/error/stalled, so
releases matched to the wrong media by grab-history ID (Sonarr/Radarr's
importBlocked state) sat forever, invisible to automated cleanup.
Some items (e.g. an album missing 1-2 tracks where no available release
matches the existing edition/track count) can never resolve via blind
retry. Without a limit, the same media ID gets blocklisted and re-searched
every 4 hours forever — confirmed live on ~19 Lidarr albums cycling
identically across five consecutive runs today, each one downloading a
fresh release, failing import for the same structural reason, and
starting over.
Tracks consecutive failures per (arr_type, media_id) in a persisted state
file. After ARR_RECOVERY_MAX_ATTEMPTS (default 3) failures, the item is
still blocklisted and removed from the queue, but auto re-search stops —
notified once when it crosses the threshold, then left for manual review
instead of retried forever.
Media/ now holds only media-level scripts (cleaner, permissions, play_state_sync).
All arr management scripts (cleanup, discovery, sync, webhooks, release fixer) live in Arrs_Stack/.
