An agent driving the binary could search, fetch and chat, but it could not be
a peer: nothing kept a session online to serve files, nothing reported an
upload, shares could only be set at startup, and there was no way to ask
whether a peer was worth queueing to or to check credentials without doing
something else.
New commands:
serve [--follow] stay online sharing; one record per upload
whoami credentials, connection and what we offer
user <NAME> a peer's presence and share counts
room users <ROOM> the member roster
shares list|add|remove|status|reindex
config path|list|get|set
`config` and `shares list|add|remove` need no account, so they run before the
credential check — asking a script to log in for a `config get` would be a
poor trade. `serve` is the only place uploads are visible: they live in the
process serving them, so a one-shot `uploads list` could print nothing but an
empty list.
Library additions, all request/poll pairs matching the existing conventions:
- Client::room_members, kept current from the join and leave events
- Client::request_user_info / user_info, backed by new handlers for
GetUserStatus (7) and GetUserStats (36) — codes the dispatcher previously
logged as unhandled. The wire format is taken from soulfind's own source
and pinned by an e2e test that asserts a peer's real share count.
- UserInfo carries presence and stats as Options, so a reply that never
arrived cannot be read as "offline" or "shares nothing"
- request_user_info clears the previous answer, so the documented poll loop
observes this request rather than the last one
- ServerMessage and ClientOperation are now #[non_exhaustive]: every protocol
message the client learns adds a variant, and that should not break callers
- the crate root and prelude re-export every type a Client method returns
Also pins the output contract with tests: under --json, stdout carries only
newline-delimited JSON across fifteen command shapes while progress still
goes to stderr, and a failing command writes nothing to stdout at all.
The one-shot half of the binary could not finish its headline task without a
human at the keyboard: `search` opened a full-screen picker, panicked with
exit 101 when there was no terminal, and no command could fetch a known file
at all. Everything exited 0 whatever happened, wrote emoji prose to stdout,
and ignored --download-dir, SOULSEEK_DOWNLOAD_DIR and config.toml.
The commands are now built for scripts and agents:
search download get browse room list|say|listen message send|read
stdout carries records only (tab-separated, or NDJSON under --json), stderr
carries progress, and the exit code carries the verdict: 2 usage, 3 connect,
4 no results, 5 timed out, 6 transfer failed. `get` does search, rank and
fetch in one step, and `search --json | jq ... | download --stdin` composes.
Global flags parse in any position and every one has a SOULSEEK_ variable and
a config.toml key resolved through a single precedence chain.
Defects found and fixed along the way, each covered by a test:
- a download with an unknown size was finalized against zero bytes and saved
as an empty file; the size now comes from the peer's share listing
- transfers are keyed by a hash of the remote path, so the same path from two
peers shadowed itself and two files sharing a basename overwrote each
other; both collisions are now dropped with a warning
- `message send` and `room say` slept 500ms and claimed success; they now
wait for a server reply queued behind the message before reporting
- Client::login waited on an unbounded channel and never returned when the
server went quiet
Deleted the TUI picker the old `search` drove (download_selector,
MultiDownloadProgress, SearchConfig): 1,573 lines out, 926 in. The
interactive TUI is otherwise untouched.
BREAKING CHANGE: `rooms` and `chat` become `room list|say|listen` and
`message send|read`; `--disable-listener` becomes `--no-listener`; the
unprefixed DISABLE_LISTENER, LISTENER_PORT, LOG_FILE and
MAX_CONCURRENT_DOWNLOADS variables are now SOULSEEK_-prefixed; `search` no
longer opens a picker or downloads anything.
