Michel de Graaf be6581ee6c feat(cli)!: replace the one-shot commands with a scriptable surface
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.

soulseek-rs-lib

A Rust library for implementing the Soulseek peer-to-peer protocol.

About

This library provides the core functionality for interacting with the Soulseek network. It can be used to build custom Soulseek clients or bots.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
soulseek-rs-lib = "6"

Example

Simple Usage

use soulseek_rs::Client;
use std::time::Duration;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create and connect to Soulseek server
    let mut client = Client::new("username", "password");

    client.connect();
    client.login()?;

    // Search for files
    let results = client.search("Alex Kassian lifestream", Duration::from_secs(10))?;

    // Download first available file
    if let Some(result) = results.iter().find(|r| !r.files.is_empty()) {
        let file = &result.files[0];
        client.download(
            file.name.clone(),
            file.username.clone(),
            file.size,
            "~/Downloads".to_string(),
        )?;
        println!("Downloaded: {}", file.name);
    }

    Ok(())
}

Advanced Configuration

use soulseek_rs::{Client, ClientSettings, PeerAddress};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create client with custom settings
    let settings = ClientSettings {
        server_address: PeerAddress::new("server.slsknet.org".to_string(), 2242),
        enable_listen: true,
        listen_port: 3000,
        ..ClientSettings::new("username", "password")
    };

    let mut client = Client::with_settings(settings);
    client.connect();
    client.login()?;

    Ok(())
}
