Closes the last two gaps in Soulseek's list of features an alternative client
must implement to be tolerated, and adds the result filters Nicotine+ has had
all along.
Wishlist: server code 103 is sent and code 104's announced interval is kept
rather than logged and discarded, so the re-search timer runs off the schedule
the server set. `wish add|remove|list|run` plus `serve --wishlist`; wishes
persist in config.toml as a TOML array so a comma inside a query survives.
`wish run` prints search-shaped records, so it pipes into `download --stdin`.
Privilege recognition: the code-69 user list is parsed instead of counted and
dropped, and code 92 answers `whoami` as `privilege_seconds`. Uploads now go
through a queue with a slot cap (`--upload-slots`, default 2) that serves
privileged users first — the cap is what makes the ordering mean anything, so
they are one change. `PlaceInQueueRequest` (peer code 51) is answered, where it
previously had no handler at all, and a departed peer's slot is released so a
stalled peer cannot wedge uploads shut.
Search filters: `--exclude`, `--extension`, `--min-size`, `--max-size` beside
the existing `--min-bitrate` and `--free-slots`, in one flattened arg group
shared by `search`, `get` and `wish run`.
Also serialises the library e2e suite behind the same gate `cli_e2e` already
uses: the new queue tests hold peer sockets open on purpose, which starved
concurrently-spawned soulfinds and failed unrelated download tests with
`login: Timeout`.
BREAKING CHANGE: `UploadStatus` gains a `Queued(u32)` variant, so an exhaustive
match on it no longer compiles, and `cli::Commands` gains `Wish`.
`completions install` generates the script from the same clap definition
the binary parses with, so it cannot drift from `--help`, and writes it
where each shell already looks. fish scans its own completions directory
unprompted; bash and zsh get one marked `source` line appended to their rc
file, because nothing puts a per-user directory on their search path by
default. `completions uninstall` takes back exactly those lines and leaves
the rest of the file alone.
A `cargo install` leaves a binary and nothing else, so there is no file on
disk for a coding agent to read. `skills install` writes an embedded SKILL.md
into every agent found on the machine — Claude Code and opencode today, any
other via --dir — and installing over an older copy is what updating means.
The skill carries what --help cannot: the JSON keys of every record, what each
exit code means, and the rule that an agent always passes --json. A unit test
walks the clap command tree and holds SKILL.md to a documented entry for every
command, so a new subcommand fails the build until it is written up.
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.
