Michel de Graaf 460031b532 feat(distributed): serve children in the search tree

The client read the distributed network but never carried it: a peer
dialling with a D connection was logged and dropped, and AcceptChildren
was hardcoded false, so this client took from the tree without ever
relaying a search for anyone else.

With accept_children set, peers hang from us: each is told where our
branch sits when it connects and again when the branch moves, every
search that reaches us is passed down, and a child that goes away loses
its slot. Ten at a time, matching Nicotine+, since each costs a socket
and a copy of the network's whole search stream — which is also why it is
opt-in, through the new accept_children config key (ignored without a
listener, since a child would have nothing to dial).

soulseek-rs

A Soulseek client for the terminal: a full-screen TUI, and a one-shot command surface built for scripts and agents.

Website: https://re-invention.nl/soulseek-rs/

Installation

brew install michel/tap/soulseek-rs   # macOS and Linux, prebuilt
cargo install soulseek-rs             # anywhere with a Rust toolchain

Usage

Run it with no subcommand for the interactive TUI:

soulseek-rs

Anything else is a one-shot command that runs headless. stdout carries records only, stderr carries progress, and the exit code carries the verdict:

soulseek-rs search <QUERY>                # print matching files
soulseek-rs get <QUERY>                   # search, pick the best, download
soulseek-rs download <USER> <PATH>        # fetch one known file
soulseek-rs download --stdin              # fetch files listed on stdin
soulseek-rs browse <USER>                 # list a user's shared files
soulseek-rs serve [--follow]              # stay online sharing, stream uploads
soulseek-rs whoami                        # confirm credentials and connection
soulseek-rs user <NAME>                   # a peer's status and share counts
soulseek-rs room list|say|users|listen
soulseek-rs message send|read
soulseek-rs shares list|add|remove|status|reindex
soulseek-rs config path|list|get|set
soulseek-rs portmap                       # test automatic port mapping
soulseek-rs completions install           # tab completion for bash/zsh/fish

Add --json for newline-delimited JSON instead of tab-separated text, so commands compose:

soulseek-rs search "rjd2" --json \
  | jq -c 'select(.size > 5000000 and .free_slot)' \
  | soulseek-rs download --stdin

Exit codes: 0 success, 2 usage or config, 3 connect or login, 4 nothing found, 5 timed out, 6 transfer failed, 7 session lost mid-command, 1 unexpected error.

The full README documents every command, record shape, flag, environment variable and config.toml key.
