+* youdis v2 goals:
+1. Separate backend from frontend
+2. Offload auth
+3. Ensure auto nightly builds
+4. Default output format supports plex browsing youtube channels as "tv shows"
+5. Facilitate multiple GUI inbounds: Discord, Zulip, XMPP
+
+* [ ] 2.0.0: define architecture (2-4)
+define the target architecture for a private backend yt-dlp worker with thin chat frontends
+** pm notes:
+- keep this iterative. the point is to choose the shape and seam, not prematurely implement infra. likely decisions include backend framework, request/status model, and how thin the discord shim should be.
+- goal is simple, private, maintainable deployment
+- avoid auth, queues, or persistence beyond clear & immediate needs
+
+** Acceptance Criteria
+1. document the target architecture at a high level
+   - backend owns yt-dlp execution and job state
+   - frontends own chat-specific UX
+2. identify key decisions still open
+   - backend choice
+   - service seam/endpoints
+   - status/progress model
+3. capture enough structure to begin implementation
+   - repo/component layout is sketched
+   - next implementation task is unblocked

+* [ ] 2.0.1: build backend yt-dlp worker (3)
+create the minimal backend/service skeleton and establish a working yt-dlp baseline with clean hooks for future frontends
+** pm notes
+- foundation; don't need the full finished service here, just the basic shape plus enough real yt-dlp execution to validate the seam and build on it.
+- keep single-job semantics
+- prioritize inspectable behavior over polish
+
+** Acceptance Criteria
+1. create the backend/service skeleton
+   - app/module layout exists
+   - core request path is stubbed or minimally working
+2. establish a working yt-dlp baseline
+   - archive behavior is preserved
+   - output path behavior is preserved or intentionally updated
+   - use yt-dlp .conf and set reasonable default
+3. expose basic hooks/interfaces for future frontends
+   - submit/request path exists
+   - status/progress hook exists
+   - basic health/version visibility exists

+* [ ] 2.0.2: update discord bot to use new backend (3)
+update the discord bot into a thin frontend that talks to the backend and verify the flow end to end
+** pm notes
+- this is the first real frontend proof. once this works cleanly, zulip/xmpp should mostly be adapter work rather than downloader rewrites.
+- keep discord logic thin; no auth
+- do not duplicate yt-dlp behavior in the bot
+
+** Acceptance Criteria
+1. discord bot submits requests to backend
+   - command/input handling works
+   - acceptance/busy/failure responses are clear
+2. discord bot relays useful backend status
+   - progress reporting works at a basic level
+   - completion/failure/skipped outcomes are surfaced
+3. backend-discord flow is tested end to end
+   - valid request path tested
+   - busy or conflict behavior tested

+** pm notes
+- only remove this after the new path works. this is cleanup, not pioneering work.
+- favor deletion over compatibility shims
+- keep operator controls only if still useful
+
+** Acceptance Criteria
+1. remove obsolete auth/user-management behavior
+   - old user persistence and commands are removed
+   - backend-facing flow no longer depends on them
+2. remove obsolete downloader/runtime logic from bot
+   - bot no longer owns yt-dlp execution
+   - dead code paths are deleted

+** pm notes
+- this should come after architecture and discord integration stabilize. no point polishing the pipeline for the wrong shape.
+- optimize for simple manual ops first
+- stop here after pipeline is sane
+  
+** Acceptance Criteria
+1. align build artifacts with the new structure
+   - docker/build scripts reflect current components
+   - runtime assumptions are consistent
+2. review old automation artifacts
+   - stale runner/update/restart logic is removed or updated
+   - manual update/rebuild flow is clear
+3. confirm deployment path works

+#+title: Youdis Task Log 
+#+updated: [2026-03-31 Tue 08:00]
+
+* [X] 1.1.1: stabilize youdis core bot behavior (estimate 3 commits)
+refactor the current `youdis.py` flow so authorization, download execution, and user feedback are correct and predictable without changing the product shape.  keep this narrowly scoped to correctness and maintainability; do not redesign into a queueing platform yet.  preserve archive-first behavior and dm status updates; do not add new infrastructure dependencies and prefer boring explicit state over clever concurrency.
+
+** acceptance criteria
+1. initialize and load `/config/users.json` safely in all cases
+   - create parent dirs before touch/open
+   - ensure `authorized_users` always has a valid default
+   - normalize stored ids to a single type
+2. fix command-path correctness for `/youtube`, `/adduser`, and `/removeuser`
+   - authorized users can successfully invoke downloads
+   - add/remove user commands persist changes correctly
+   - remove broken/incomplete code paths
+3. duplicate prevention relies on archive.txt
+
+** pm notes
+
+** evidence
+- commit: 033d9dd
+- tests: ~python3 -m py_compile ./youdis.py~
+- datetime: [2026-03-31 Tue 13:28]
+
+** notes
+- store Discord user ids as strings in `users.json`
+- duplicate prevention should continue to rely on `archive.txt`, not inferred hook errors
+
+* [X] 1.1.2: remove global mutable download state and define single-job semantics (estimate 2 commits)
+eliminate shared mutable hook state and make concurrent behavior explicit, even if the initial policy is just "one active job at a time."  don't build a scheduler; ok if simplest outcome is single active job with clear busy message.  cancellation can be coarse if yt-dlp/process boundaries make graceful stop annoying
+
+** acceptance criteria
+1. improve runtime handling for downloads
+   - replace brittle thread/join pattern with a simpler async-safe execution path
+   - catch and report real yt-dlp failures
+   - avoid misleading "already exists" error assumptions
+2. progress reporting is isolated per request
+   - no module-level mutable title state shared across jobs
+   - hooks derive state from request-local context
+3. active-job behavior is explicit
+   - either reject a second request while busy or implement a minimal tracked active job
+   - user-facing response explains current behavior
+4. `/interrupt` is either implemented minimally or downgraded honestly
+   - no fake command implying cancellation works when it does not
+   - command behavior matches implementation
+
+** evidence
+- commit: 667b06f
+- tests: ~python3 -m py_compile /home/user/proj/youdis/youdis.py~
+- datetime: [2026-03-31 Tue 14:00]
+
+** notes
+- verify slash-command response patterns against the `interactions` library while touching runtime flow
+
+* [ ] 1.1.3: move static yt-dlp behavior into config and shrink python surface area (estimate 2 commits)
+shift stable downloader options into `default-yt-dlp.conf` so the bot code only handles dynamic inputs and orchestration.  optimize for inspectability and low-friction manual ops.  keep output naming durable enough for plex/plain-file use.  avoid duplicating config values across code and conf.
+
+** acceptance criteria
+1. separate static vs dynamic yt-dlp options cleanly
+   - stable defaults live in `default-yt-dlp.conf`
+   - python injects only request-specific/runtime values
+2. preserve archive and output behavior
+   - `archive.txt` remains the duplicate-prevention mechanism
+   - output paths remain stable and browseable
+3. document config ownership
+   - clarify which settings belong in config vs code
+   - make future yt-dlp tuning possible without major python edits

+- datetime:
+
+** notes
+
+* [ ] 1.1.4: simplify image/build/update workflow around manual ops (estimate 3 commits)
+reduce repo cruft from the gitea-runner/nightly-update experiment and replace it with explicit manual update/rebuild mechanics.
+
+** acceptance criteria
+1. define a manual update path for yt-dlp and app image lifecycle
+   - document or script manual `git pull`, rebuild, and redeploy
+   - remove or quarantine brittle auto-update assumptions
+2. review and simplify `update-ytdlp.sh`, workflow yaml, and weekly restart artifacts
+   - keep only artifacts that serve the current manual-ops model
+   - delete or mark deprecated anything tied to abandoned automation paths
+3. retain unraid deployment viability
+   - container can still be rebuilt and redeployed cleanly on jeeves
+   - resulting flow is understandable without rereading old ci experiments
+
+- pm note: weekly restart is presumed suspect until proven necessary
+
+** evidence
+- commit:
+- tests:
+- datetime:
+
+** notes
+- do not let runner/workflow complexity dominate a small bot
+- prefer explicit version pinning or manual binary refresh over magical nightlies
+
+* [ ] 1.1.5: clean up packaging/deployment artifacts for unraid consumption (estimate 2 commits)
+make the dockerfile, run script, and unraid-ca template consistent with the refactored app so deployment is less of a ritual ordeal.
+
+** acceptance criteria
+1. align docker/runtime assumptions
+   - paths like `/config` and `/downloads` are consistent across code, scripts, and container metadata
+   - env vars are documented and validated
+2. review deployment artifacts for drift
+   - `dockerfile`, `run-youdis.sh`, and `unraid-ca-template.xml` reflect current behavior
+   - remove stale references and dead assumptions
+3. make fresh deployment understandable
+   - a new deploy on unraid is possible without reconstructing tribal knowledge from old files
+
+- pm note: this is packaging polish after core correctness, not before
