Michel de Graaf 35a6fed3c3 fix: slotsfull is occupancy, not free slots, and cover it end to end
Running the e2e suite against a real soulfind showed the per-member slots
field was implemented backwards. The wire field is `slotsfull` -- a boolean
that is true when the member's upload slots are all occupied -- not a count
of free ones. `slots_free: u32` named it, documented it and printed it as
the opposite of what the server means, so a caller reading it would pick the
busiest peer to download from.

- types: `slots_full: bool`, with the wire name in the doc comment
- the DTO, the `room users` output and SKILL.md follow
- a new e2e test joins a room with a member sharing a known three files and
  asserts the counts, the roster alignment and the slot flag against
  soulfind, so the parsing is checked against a real server rather than only
  against frames this repo wrote itself

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.
