# CLAUDE.md ## Documentation Status - Synchronized with release 0.2.0 baseline on 2026-06-01 (see `CHANGELOG.md`). - Default workflow outputs: `artifacts/` — do not commit generated CSV/JSON at repo root. This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository. ## Project Overview Video Library Manager (VLM) is a Python CLI tool for managing personal video collections with a safety-first, human-in-the-loop approach. All file operations are reversible, require explicit confirmation, and generate reviewable execution plans before making changes. ## Development Commands **Important:** This project uses `uv` for Python package management. All commands should be run with `uv run` to ensure they execute in the correct project environment with proper dependencies. ### Installation ```bash # Install package in editable mode uv pip install -e . # Install with dev dependencies (pytest, hypothesis) uv pip install -e ".[dev]" # Optional Textual UI for `vlm review-plan --tui` uv pip install -e ".[tui]" ``` The default CLI path does not require Textual; it is imported only when `uv run vlm review-plan --tui` is used. ### Testing ```bash # Run all tests (use uv run to execute in the project environment) uv run pytest # Run specific test file uv run pytest tests/test_scanner.py # Run with verbose output uv run pytest -v # Run with quiet output (summary only) uv run pytest -q # Count total test cases uv run pytest --collect-only -q ``` ### Running the CLI ```bash # Verify CLI works (use uv run for proper environment) uv run vlm --help # Initialize config uv run vlm config init # Common workflow uv run vlm scan # Discover files uv run vlm parse # Extract identities (v1 schema) uv run vlm parse --inventory artifacts/inventory.csv # Embed metadata for quality-aware duplicate handling uv run vlm enrich # (Optional) Enrich titles/reputation via TMDB uv run vlm enrich --refresh-all # Force full refresh (ignore cache) uv run vlm analyze # Detect gaps/duplicates uv run vlm plan # Generate execution plan uv run vlm plan --analysis artifacts/analysis.json # Generate plan with duplicate resolution uv run vlm review-plan # Export CSV + terminal review preview uv run vlm review-plan --tui # Optional full-screen review UI uv run vlm apply-review # Sync edited CSV decisions back into the plan uv run vlm execute # Dry-run (default) uv run vlm execute --confirm # Actually execute uv run vlm rollback # Undo executed operations # Reporting uv run vlm report summary # Overview statistics uv run vlm report inventory # File inventory uv run vlm report completeness # Series with missing episodes uv run vlm report duplicates # Duplicate files with quality comparison # Quarantine management uv run vlm quarantine list # List quarantined files uv run vlm quarantine add --reason "duplicate" uv run vlm quarantine restore # State management uv run vlm state show uv run vlm state set --status reviewed ``` ## Architecture ### Core Workflow VLM follows a read-first, multi-stage pipeline: 1. **Scan** → discovers video files, extracts metadata via ffprobe (optional), saves to `artifacts/inventory.csv` 2. **Parse** → extracts titles/years/seasons/episodes from filenames, saves to `artifacts/identities.json` - Use `--inventory artifacts/inventory.csv` to embed video metadata (v2 schema) for accurate duplicate resolution by quality - Without `--inventory`, produces v1 schema (lightweight, no embedded metadata) 3. **Enrich** (optional) → adds bilingual titles and reputation (TMDB); updates `artifacts/identities.json` in place; uses SQLite cache for incremental runs 4. **Analyze** → detects episode gaps and duplicates, saves to `artifacts/analysis.json` 5. **Plan** → generates reviewable execution plan (`artifacts/plan.json`) with file operations 6. **Review / Apply Review** → previews high-risk operations in terminal or optional TUI, then syncs edited CSV decisions back into the plan when needed 7. **Execute** → performs file operations (dry-run by default, `--confirm` to execute) 8. **Rollback** → reverses executed operations (best-effort) ### Module Organization - `cli.py` - Click-based CLI interface, global options, command registration - `context.py` - CLIContext (config, paths) and pass_context for commands - `commands/` - Command implementations (scan, parse, enrich, analyze, plan, execute/rollback) - `scanner.py` - File discovery using system `find` command, metadata extraction via ffprobe - `parser.py` - Filename parsing using regex patterns (movies: title + year, series: SxxExx) - `enrichment.py` - Enrichment pipeline; `cache.py` - SQLite cache; `providers/` - TMDB etc. - `io.py` - Unified JSON/CSV I/O helpers, including validated typed plan loading/saving - `utils.py` - UTC time, format_size, shared helpers - `analysis.py` - Completeness checking (episode gaps) and duplicate detection - `duplicate_resolve.py` - Duplicate group resolution with explicit failures for unresolved strategies/data - `planner.py` - Execution plan generation with conflict detection and manual-review duplicate fallback - `executor.py` - File operations (move/rename/quarantine) with rollback logging and library-root safety checks - `quarantine.py` - Quarantine management with manifest tracking - `state.py` - File state tracking across workflow stages - `reports.py` - Report generation (inventory, completeness, duplicates, summary) - `config.py` - YAML configuration loading and validation - `models.py` - Dataclass definitions for all data structures - `logging_config.py` - Logging setup with fallback to console if file logging fails ### Key Data Structures All defined in `models.py`: - `VideoFile` - represents discovered video file with metadata - `MovieIdentity` / `SeriesIdentity` - parsed identity with confidence score - `ExecutionPlan` - collection of file operations with summary - `FileOperation` - single operation (move/rename/quarantine/no-op) with conflict detection - `RollbackLog` - log of executed operations for reversal - `QuarantineEntry` - quarantined file with original location - `FileState` - workflow state (reviewed/ignored/planned/executed/quarantined) ### File Categorization Based on top-level directory within library root, matched against configured category mappings (case-insensitive). Files in unmapped directories are categorized as "other" and skipped by planner/quarantine operations. ### Parsing Patterns (Hardcoded) **Movies** (high confidence): - `{title} ({year})` - `{title}.{year}` **Series** (high confidence): - `S{season:02d}E{episode:02d}` - `{season}x{episode}` Patterns are hardcoded in parser.py, not user-configurable. ### Configuration Default location: `~/.vlm/config.yaml` Key settings: - `library_root` - root directory to scan (required) - `video_extensions` - list of extensions to recognize - `templates.movie_dir` / `templates.series_dir` - directory structure templates - `templates.movie_filename` / `templates.series_filename` - filename templates - `quarantine_dir` - name of quarantine directory (default: `.quarantine`) - `log_level` - logging verbosity - `categories` - mapping of category names to directory name lists - `enrichment` (or `enrich`) - TMDB/api_keys, cache_db, translation, reputation; see README for full schema - `plan.duplicate_keep` - when using `vlm plan --analysis`: `by_quality`, `by_reputation` (default), `by_reputation_quality_time`, `first_seen`, or `manual` ### Category Mappings Categories are determined by matching the top-level directory name against configured mappings: **Default mappings:** ```yaml categories: movie: [movie] series: [series] anime: [anime] ``` **Custom mappings** support multiple directory names per category: ```yaml categories: movie: [movie, movies, films] series: [series, tv, shows, television] anime: [anime] ``` This allows files in `/library/movies/` or `/library/films/` to be recognized as the "movie" category. Directory matching is case-insensitive. **Migration Note:** If you have existing directories with non-standard names (like "movies" or "tv"), update your config.yaml and re-run `vlm scan` to fix categorization. No files will be moved. ### Schema Versioning **identities.json Schema Versions:** - **v1** (default without `--inventory`): Lightweight schema without embedded metadata - Records contain: path, filename, category, title, year/season/episodes, confidence, needs_review - VideoFile objects reconstructed with defaults: size_bytes=0, resolution=None, codec=None - Suitable for basic organization workflows - **v2** (with `--inventory`): Enhanced schema with embedded video metadata - All v1 fields plus `video_metadata` object containing: - size_bytes, modified_timestamp, resolution, codec, duration_seconds, bitrate_kbps - Enables accurate duplicate resolution by quality (compare resolution, codec, file size) - Required for `by_quality` duplicate resolution strategy - Backward compatible: v1 files load without errors **Implementation Details:** - `_video_file_from_record()` in io.py extracts embedded metadata if present - Parse command with `--inventory` flag loads inventory.csv and embeds metadata in output - Schema version stored in `vlm_schema_version` field at root level of identities.json ### File Discovery Uses system `find` command for speed, falls back to Python recursion if unavailable. Hidden paths (starting with `.`) are skipped automatically. ### Timestamp Handling All timestamps stored in UTC using ISO 8601 format (`YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS`). The scanner normalizes naive timestamps to UTC using system timezone. ### Logging Logs to `~/.vlm/vlm.log` by default. If log directory is unwritable, falls back to console-only logging and continues execution (does not fail). ### Error Handling - Configuration errors: display helpful message, create default config, continue - Missing ffprobe: skip metadata extraction, log debug message, continue - File access errors: log error, skip file, continue scanning - Invalid YAML: display error, use default config ## Testing Guidelines - Framework: pytest with hypothesis for property-based tests - Test file naming: `test_*.py` - Test function naming: `test_*` - Test class naming: `Test*` - Use `CliRunner` for CLI integration tests - Prefer narrow unit tests for module logic plus targeted CLI integration tests - Add tests with each behavior change, including error paths and edge cases ## Important Implementation Notes ### Safety Protocol - NEVER permanently delete files - use quarantine instead - All file operations create rollback logs when executed with --confirm - Execution plans detect destination conflicts and mark operations - Default mode is dry-run; --confirm required for actual execution - Quarantine is reversible via restore command ### Anime Handling Anime files are discovered and categorized but NOT parsed in v1 (deferred for future implementation). ### State Management State tracking is optional and allows marking files as reviewed/ignored/planned/executed/quarantined. State is persisted to `~/.vlm/state.json`. ### Quarantine Constraints Only movie and series files can be quarantined in v1 (anime and other categories rejected). ### Template Variables Available for path/filename templates: - Movies: `{title}`, `{year}`, `{ext}` - Series: `{title}`, `{season}`, `{episode}`, `{ext}` Format specifiers like `{season:02d}` are supported. ## Code Style - Python 3.10+ idioms - 4-space indentation - PEP 8 naming: `snake_case` for functions/variables, `PascalCase` for classes, `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` for constants - Type hints for public functions and non-trivial internal APIs - Modules focused on single responsibility - No formatter/linter enforced - maintain consistency with existing files ## Commit Guidelines - Clear, imperative commit subjects (e.g., "fix logging fallback for unwritable log dir") - Keep commits focused - avoid mixing refactors and behavior changes - Include co-author tag: `Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 `
