Michel de Graaf 76f4854169 feat(tui): run the highlighted search again with S
The search list survives a restart, but a restored query was only ever a
reminder: seeing what the network has now meant typing it out again. In
the Searches pane, `S` now re-runs the highlighted query in its place — no
duplicate row, no reordering — cancelling a run still collecting first and
starting the Results display over for what comes back.

The key is listed in the shortcut bar, the `?` overlay, the README and the
website. `start_search` is split into launching a search and showing it,
so both paths share one implementation.

A new `tui_e2e` suite drives the real window over a real session against
soulfind: keys in, a screen out, a sharing peer on the other end. It
restores a query from a previous run's state directory, presses `S`, and
checks the peer's file lands on screen — then again once the query has
been on the wire, proving a repeat is answered and the display does not
stack. To make that possible `MainTui` is exported with `handle_key_event`,
`render`, `poll_session` and a `state()` accessor, and CI runs the suite
with `SOULSEEK_E2E_REQUIRED=1`.

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.
