fix(media): self-heal zombie media-DC connection so images keep loading

Media downloads jammed process-wide: Kurigram serializes them through a single
get_file slot (max_concurrent_transmissions=1), and a zombie media-DC connection
(upload.GetFile timing out) held that slot forever. The main-DC watchdog (get_me)
never noticed, and the 60s cache sweep kept re-queuing the failing file, so all
feed images turned into broken placeholders.

- telegram_client: count consecutive download timeouts; after N (default 5) reuse
  _restart_client() to rebuild the media connection — the only recovery signal the
  main-DC watchdog cannot provide. Any success resets the streak.
- telegram_client/config: set max_concurrent_transmissions (default 3) so one hung
  download is no longer an instant total outage (blast-radius limiter only).
- api_server: negative-cache with exponential backoff for repeatedly-failing files
  (skip in background sweep, fast 503+Retry-After in get_media, record/clear in the
  dedup runner and background worker; FloodWait excluded).
- dockercompose/tests: document TG_MAX_CONCURRENT_TRANSMISSIONS and
  MEDIA_TIMEOUT_RESTART_THRESHOLD; update mock config; add self-heal/backoff tests.

+
+## 1. Проблема
+
+Рендер фидов (RSS/HTML) — не однонаправленный пайплайн, а набор циклов с
+обратными ходами и дублированием:
+
+- `generate_channel_rss` и `generate_channel_html` — близнецы на ~80%
+  (rss_generator.py:347–527 и 578–717).
+- Обратный ход данных: `processed_message_to_tg_message`
+  (rss_generator.py:156–201) конвертирует отрендеренный dict обратно в
+  мок-Message ради повторного рендера футера — при живых `Message` в `group`.
+- Санитайз-конфиг скопирован трижды (post_parser.py:702, rss_generator.py:468,
+  679) и разъехался: `s`/`del` разрешены только в post_parser.
+- RSS-путь: отдельный `asyncio.to_thread` + новый `CSSSanitizer` + вложенная
+  функция НА КАЖДЫЙ пост — при том, что `_render_pipeline` уже в worker-треде.
+- `_create_time_based_media_groups`: `copy.deepcopy` всех сообщений на каждый
+  запрос (rss_generator.py:43) ради защиты кэша от мутации `media_group_id`.
+- post_parser: три параллельные лестницы выбора media-объекта
+  (`_get_file_unique_id`, `_save_media_file_ids`, `_generate_html_media`),
+  синхронизируемые вручную.
+
+Латентные баги, найденные при анализе и ревью:
+
+- `<hr class="post-divider">` добавляется ДО финального санитайза, `hr` нет в
+  whitelist → bleach вырезает все разделители HTML-фида.
+- `_sanitize_html` при исключении bleach возвращает сырой HTML (fail-open) —
+  потенциальный stored-XSS; фидовые копии fail-closed.
+- `_generate_html_media`: при `file_unique_id is None` (в т.ч. массовый случай
+  WEB_PAGE без фото) открытый `<div class="message-media">` не закрывается;
+  при whole-feed санитайзе html5lib «заглатывает» в него все последующие посты.
+- **Naive/aware краш в дефолтном пути**: kurigram-даты naive-local
+  (`datetime.fromtimestamp`), фолбэк в sort-ключе групп — aware UTC
+  (rss_generator.py:141). Один None-date пост в фиде с реальными датами даёт
+  TypeError → 500 при ЛЮБОМ `time_based_merge` (проверено эмпирически);
+  при `time_based_merge=True` тот же класс краша дополнительно в
+  тайм-кластеризации (строки 45–46, 61–62). Тесты слепы: мокают aware-даты.
+- FloodWait из `cached_get_chat_history` перехватывается `except Exception` и
+  превращается в ValueError → HTTP 400 вместо 429 (rss_generator.py:416–422,
+  636–642; маппинг ValueError→400 — api_server.py:1334–1337).
+- `_reactions_views_links`: reactions-объект с пустым списком реакций даёт
+  `first_line_parts.append("")` → ведущий разделитель `…|…` в футере
+  (post_parser.py:1081–1104, branch).

+
+Решения:
+
+1. Санитайз внутри `_render_pipeline`, per-post, ПОСЛЕ фильтров (не тратить
+   bleach на отфильтровываемые посты).
+2. Один модуль `sanitizer.py` — единственный источник конфига bleach, включая
+   `protocols=['http','https','tg']` и `strip=True` (оба отличаются от
+   дефолтов bleach!).
+3. Футер merged-групп из настоящего main-сообщения; конвертер удаляется.
+4. Группировка — чистая функция: маппинг `msg.id → effective_group_id`;
+   кэшированные Message пайплайном не мутируются.
+5. Общий препроцессинг `_prepare_feed_posts`; различия путей — явные параметры.
+6. Единая таблица медиа-типов в post_parser (селектор + renderer на kind).
+
+Одиночный пост (`get_post` → `process_message(sanitize=True)` → `_format_html`)
+не меняется, за исключением реестра §3 пп. 2, 13, 14, 15 (fail-closed,
+guard >100 МБ, закрытие div, пустые реакции — эти механизмы общие с фидовым
+путём).

+| 3 | `<hr class="post-divider">` реально виден в HTML-фиде | багфикс | 1 |
+| 4 | Несбалансированный HTML-фрагмент нормализуется в границах СВОЕГО поста и не искажает DOM последующих (только HTML-фид; RSS уже per-post и не меняется) | багфикс | 1 |
+| 5 | Fail-closed гранулярность HTML-фида: эскейпится упавший пост, а не весь фид | улучшение | 1 |
+| 6 | Merged-футер: custom-emoji реакции больше не агрегируются в один «❓ N» — отдельный span на каждую, как у одиночных постов | унификация | 2 |
+| 7 | Merged-футер: дата печатается из naive-local даты реального Message вместо UTC-мока — на серверах с TZ≠UTC видимый сдвиг. Golden (TZ=UTC) эту дельту НЕ видит — верифицируется выделенным тестом с не-UTC TZ | унификация | 2 |

Было: смешанный naive+None вход (прод-даты kurigram) ронял фид TypeError'ом; полностью-None и aware+None входы (возникают только в тестах с aware-моками) выживали и кластеризовали None-date хвост по порядку вставки, включая adoption truthy id.

+
+## 4. Общие правила всех этапов
+
+- База: `refactor/render-pipeline` от актуального main (88ac436+, содержит
+  f9550d8 + спеку + корпус). Один этап = один коммит
+  (этап 5 — два: 5a/5b); после каждого — `pytest` полностью зелёный.
+- Правки существующих тестов допустимы в двух случаях: (а) тест закрепляет
+  старое поведение из реестра §3 — правка с комментарием-ссылкой на номер
+  пункта; (б) чистое перемещение API (импорты, monkeypatch-цели) — правка с
+  пометкой «API relocation, no behavior change».
+- Два слоя эталонов, не смешивать: **feed-level** golden-снапшоты (этап 0,
+  санитайженный выход RSS/HTML) и **fragment-level** снапшоты
+  `_generate_html_media` (этап 5a, до санитайза). Этап 5b не «чинит» то,
+  что уже изменил этап 1 на feed-уровне.
+- Комментарии в коде — только на английском. Точечные правки. Устаревшие
+  комментарии («4.4 coverage map» и т.п.) обновлять по ходу.
+- Наблюдаемость: имена существующих лог-строк и их контекст (счётчики
+  сообщений, `rss_date_range`, channel/message_id в ошибках санитайза)
+  сохраняются — grep-мониторинг не должен ослепнуть. Единственное
+  зарегистрированное исключение — объединение трёх имён санитайз-ошибок
+  (§3.16).
+- Новые тесты используют **naive**-даты (как отдаёт kurigram на проде), а не
+  aware-UTC.
+
+## 5. Этапы
+
+### Этап 0 — golden-эталоны фидов (до любых правок кода)
+
+**Корпус — записанные РЕАЛЬНЫЕ сообщения с прод-сервера, не синтетика (v6).**
+Источник: рабочий кэш бриджа `data/tgcache/` на сервере — там уже лежат
+пиклы ровно нужного формата: `{channel}.cache` =
+`{'timestamp', 'limit', 'messages': List[Message]}`
+(`tg_cache._save_history_to_cache`) и `{channel}.chatinfo` (для
+`cached_get_chat`). Отобранные ПАРЫ файлов лежат в
+`tests/test_data/recorded/` и коммитятся как замороженный корпус (контент
+этих публичных каналов попадает в репо).
+
+Реплей: тестовый загрузчик распикливает файлы напрямую (`timestamp`/`limit`
+игнорируются — никакой проверки свежести) и monkeypatch'ит
+`tg_cache.cached_get_chat_history` / `cached_get_chat` на возврат записанных
+объектов. Это буквально прод-путь cache-hit: сериализация и структура
+объектов — те же, что видит рендер в бою.
+
+Почему реальные, а не моки: (а) настоящие kurigram-объекты закрывают класс
+ложной зелени «мок и код согласованно ждут атрибут, которого нет у реального
+объекта» — холодный проход (§8, раунд 5) пометил его как неловимый на моках;
+(б) naive-даты, реальные entities/reactions/webpage-структуры и комбинации
+форматирования достаются бесплатно.
+
+**Первое действие этапа — проверка совместимости пиклов**: кэш сервера
+записан прод-версией kurigram, корпус распикливается под 2.2.23 (база
+рефакторинга f9550d8). ВЫПОЛНЕНО — см. «Статус» ниже: 90/90 + 89/89 без
+ошибок, фолбэк не понадобился.
+
+**Инвентаризация покрытия**: мини-скрипт проходит по корпусу и печатает
+media-типы, наличие media_groups / time-кластеров / forward / reply /
+реакций (обычные, custom, paid, пустой объект) / webpage с фото и без /
+зачёркивания (`<s>`/`<del>` в entities). Дыры покрытия закрываются
+СИНТЕТИЧЕСКОЙ добавкой — только для недостижимого в записанном.
+
+**Статус (2026-07-05): снапшот, проверка, инвентарь И ОТБОР уже выполнены.**
+Снапшот прод-кэша: `data/tgcache_prod_2026-07-05/` (90 `.cache` +
+89 `.chatinfo`, 53 МБ, вне git — `data/` в .gitignore). Отбор сделан жадно
+по матрице признаков, 4 канала (2.7 МБ) уже лежат в
+`tests/test_data/recorded/` (untracked; коммитятся первым коммитом этапа 0):
+
+- `bladerunnerblues` — единственный источник GIVEAWAY + GIVEAWAY_WINNERS;
+  плюс POLL, pdf, DOCUMENT, ANIMATION, r_paid (71), wp_nophoto;
+- `theyforcedme` — вся редкая медиа-палитра разом: STICKER, AUDIO, VOICE,
+  VIDEO_NOTE, POLL, ANIMATION; богат forward (13) и reply (10);
+- `embedoka` — r_empty + r_custom (35) + strike (7) + POLL + pdf +
+  wp_nophoto; forward 20, reply 14;
+- `meow_design` — 51 time-кластерная пара (ядро для time_based_merge),
+  media_groups 22, pdf, POLL, strike.
+
+Суммарно закрыта ВСЯ матрица: PHOTO 246, VIDEO 40, media_groups 66,
+forward 35, reply 27, wp_photo 11 + все редкие признаки выше.
+Совместимость подтверждена: ВСЕ файлы распикливаются под kurigram
+2.2.23 без ошибок. Инвентарь (8582 сообщения): PHOTO 5397, text-only 1609,
+WEB_PAGE 764 (с фото 581 / без 183), VIDEO 653, DOCUMENT 51, ANIMATION 33,
+POLL 31, VIDEO_NOTE 15, STICKER 13, AUDIO 8, VOICE 6, GIVEAWAY и
+GIVEAWAY_WINNERS по 1; media_group-членов 3159, forward 670, reply 357,
+time-кластерных пар (gap≤5s) ~294; реакции: обычных 17981, custom 1018,
+paid 593, ПУСТЫХ reactions-объектов 17 (§3.15-edge покрыт реальными
+данными!); зачёркиваний 150 (§3.1 покрыт); все 8582 даты naive (посылка
+спеки подтверждена); None-date — 0. Синтетика нужна ТОЛЬКО для: None-date
+(этап 4) и отсутствующих в корпусе типов — PAID_MEDIA, STORY, LIVE_PHOTO,
+CHECKLIST, CONTACT/LOCATION/VENUE/DICE/GAME/INVOICE/UNSUPPORTED
+(fragment-уровень этапа 5a).
+
+Сценарии exclude_flags/exclude_text в golden НЕ входят: фильтры не меняют
+байты выживших постов; их семантика (membership / regex) закрепляется парой
+unit-тестов — дешевле и меньше площадь флаки-рисков.
+
+**None-date пост в этап 0 НЕ входит** (в записанных данных его и не бывает):
+текущий код падает на нём в ДЕФОЛТНОМ пути (naive/aware TypeError в
+sort-ключе групп, см. §1). Синтетическая None-date фикстура добавляется в
+HTML-golden коммитом этапа 4 со ссылкой на §3.11–12.
+
+Снимаются и кладутся в `tests/test_data/golden/`:
+
+- RSS XML — полный выход `generate_channel_rss` (tg_cache замокан);
+- HTML-фид — полный выход `generate_channel_html`.
+
+**Детерминизм снапшотов (обязательные меры):**
+
+- TZ раннера пинится: `os.environ['TZ'] = 'UTC'; time.tzset()` в conftest
+  (naive-даты фикстур интерпретируются `.timestamp()`-ом в локальной TZ —
+  без пина pubDate плавает между машинами);
+- волатильные строки RSS XML нормализуются перед сравнением:
+  `<lastBuildDate>` (feedgen 1.0.0 ставит now() ОДИН раз в конструкторе
+  `FeedGenerator` — байты стабильны внутри процесса, но меняются между
+  прогонами) вырезается regex'ом и в golden, и в актуальном выводе;
+  `<generator>` в feedgen 1.0.0 версии НЕ содержит — его нормализация не
+  обязательна, оставлена как дешёвая страховка от апгрейда библиотеки;
+- корпус не содержит постов, где `pubDate` берётся из `datetime.now()`
+  (это только None-date случай — он исключён, см. выше);
+- порядок merged-флагов ДО этапа 2 недетерминирован: `list(set(...))`
+  (rss_generator.py:260–265) зависит от PYTHONHASHSEED процесса, который из
+  conftest не запинить — содержимое `<div class="message-flags">`
+  нормализуется сортировкой при сравнении golden; нормализация снимается
+  коммитом этапа 2 со ссылкой на §3.8;
+- ключ подписи media-URL пинится autouse-фикстурой
+  `monkeypatch.setattr(KeyManager, "signing_key", ...)` (образец —
+  tests/test_new_media_types.py): иначе golden, снятый на dev-машине,
+  краснеет на CI — свежий checkout генерирует новый `secrets.token_hex`
+  в `data/media_digest.key`, и все digest'ы в URL меняются;
+- корпус подаётся monkeypatch'ем `tg_cache.cached_get_chat` /
+  `cached_get_chat_history` (возврат распикленных записанных объектов) —
+  lazy-import внутри фид-функций разрешает имена поздно, поэтому патч модуля
+  tg_cache работает (образец — test_stage4_eventloop.py);
+- запись media-id пинится: monkeypatch `upsert_media_file_ids_bulk_sync`
+  (или `DB_PATH` → tmp_path) — иначе golden-тесты с медиа-фикстурами пишут
+  в реальную `./data/media_file_ids.db` (`DB_PATH` cwd-относителен,
+  file_io.py:13); байты фида это не меняет (flush глотает ошибки), но
+  side-effect вне tests/ недопустим; образец — test_stage4_eventloop.py:164;
+- фикстура time-based кластера требует `time_based_merge=True`: ключ читает
+  только `rss_generator.Config` — его патча достаточно; `post_parser.Config` —
+  независимый dict из того же `get_settings()`, патчить оба — дешёвая
+  страховка от будущего дрейфа, но не необходимость.
+
+Следствие пина TZ=UTC: дельту §3.7 (сдвиг TZ даты merged-футера) golden
+физически не видит — она верифицируется выделенным тестом этапа 2 с не-UTC TZ.
+
+Оракул эквивалентности всех этапов. Обновление golden — только коммитом со
+ссылкой на пункт §3. Ожидаемые изменения: этап 1 (пп.1, 3, 4; пп.2 и 5 —
+fail-closed ветки, golden их НЕ видит — верифицируются юнит-тестами
+sanitizer), этап 2 (пп.6, 8, 15 + снятие нормализации флагов), этап 4
+(добавление None-date фикстуры в HTML-golden, пп.11–12), этап 5b (п.14 — фикстура
+webpage-без-фото меняет и feed-level байты: до 5b незакрытый div
+дозакрывался bleach'ем в конце фрагмента).
+
+DoD: записанный корпус + отчёт инвентаризации + снапшоты в репо; тест
+сравнения зелёный и детерминированный (два прогона подряд — идентичные
+байты); любое изменение рендера валит его с внятным диффом. Пиклы корпуса
+сцеплены с версией kurigram — при апгрейде библиотеки корпус перезаписывается
+с сервера (зафиксировать в README тестов).
+
+### Этап 1 — `sanitizer.py` + санитайз в пайплайне (ишью #22, обновить)
+
+```python
+# sanitizer.py — the ONLY bleach configuration in the project.
+ALLOWED_TAGS = ['p', 'a', 'b', 'i', 'strong', 'em', 's', 'del',
+                'ul', 'ol', 'li', 'br', 'div', 'span',
+                'img', 'video', 'audio', 'source']          # union of the 3 old copies
+ALLOWED_ATTRIBUTES = { ... }        # identical in all 3 copies — move as-is
+ALLOWED_CSS_PROPERTIES = ["max-width", "max-height", "object-fit", "width", "height"]
+ALLOWED_PROTOCOLS = ['http', 'https', 'tg']   # non-default! tg:// links in footers
+
+# Shared instance is safe: CSSSanitizer only holds the allowed-properties list
+# (stateless config); bleach builds a fresh Cleaner per clean() call anyway.
+_CSS_SANITIZER = CSSSanitizer(allowed_css_properties=ALLOWED_CSS_PROPERTIES)
+
+def sanitize_html(html_raw: str, log_context: str = "") -> str:
+    """Sanitize one HTML fragment. FAIL-CLOSED: on any bleach error the
+    fragment is html.escape()d, never returned raw (stored-XSS guard).
+    log_context (e.g. "channel X, message_id Y") is included in error/slow
+    logs to keep operational grep-ability."""
+    # The FULL call — both non-default params are load-bearing:
+    #   clean(html_raw, tags=ALLOWED_TAGS, attributes=ALLOWED_ATTRIBUTES,
+    #         protocols=ALLOWED_PROTOCOLS, css_sanitizer=_CSS_SANITIZER,
+    #         strip=True)
+    # strip=True: disallowed tags are REMOVED (bleach default False would
+    # escape them into visible text). strip_comments stays default (True),
+    # matching all current call sites. Keep the >0.05s diag_sanitize_slow
+    # warning with input_len here.
+    # Error log name: html_sanitization_error (SINGLE name replacing the
+    # three per-path names — registry §3.16); log_context distinguishes
+    # the call sites, tests assert the name.
+```
+
+Правки:
+
+1. `post_parser._sanitize_html` (branch:702–737) → делегат в
+   `sanitizer.sanitize_html`. Fail-open ветка исчезает (§3.2).
+2. `_render_pipeline` получает параметр `channel` (только для логов) и после
+   `_render_messages_groups` (т.е. после фильтров) выполняет
+   `p['html'] = sanitize_html(p['html'], log_context=f"channel {channel}, message_id {p['message_id']}")`.
+   Комментарий: the pipeline already runs in a worker thread.
+   ВАЖНО: в этапах 1–2 близнецы ещё не слиты — аргумент `channel` добавляется
+   в ОБА вызова `to_thread(_render_pipeline, …)` (rss_generator.py:433 и 657).
+3. RSS-цикл (branch:458–497): удалить вложенный `_sanitize_sync` + `to_thread`;
+   `fe.content(content=post['html'], type='CDATA')` напрямую.
+4. HTML-путь (branch:671–705): удалить `_concat_html`/`_sanitize_sync` +
+   оба `to_thread`; `html = '\n<hr class="post-divider">\n'.join(...)` —
+   join ПОСЛЕ санитайза (§3.3, §3.4).
+5. Импорты bleach/CSSSanitizer из rss_generator удалить. Тест
+   test_stage4_eventloop.py:474 monkeypatch'ит `rss_module.HTMLSanitizer` —
+   перенацелить на `sanitizer` (API relocation).
+6. Обновить golden (§3 пп.1–5) и комментарии о границах санитайза.
+
+Тесты: `tests/test_sanitizer.py` — s/del выживают; script/onerror ВЫРЕЗАЮТСЯ
+(не эскейпятся в текст — проверка strip=True); `tg://` href выживает;
+fail-closed при исключении; hr-разделитель в HTML-фиде.
+
+DoD: одно определение allowed_tags в репо; в rss_generator нет bleach;
+pytest + golden зелёные.
+
+### Этап 2 — выпил `processed_message_to_tg_message`
+
+```python
+# Select the main RAW message with the same criterion the processed dicts used:
+# first message that has text or caption, else the first of the group.
+main_idx = next((i for i, m in enumerate(group) if (m.text or m.caption)), 0)
+main_raw = group[main_idx]
+main_message = processed_messages[main_idx]
+
+# Deterministic merged flags: first-seen order, then 'merged'.
+merged_flags = list(dict.fromkeys(f for msg in processed_messages for f in msg['flags']))
+merged_flags.append("merged")
+
+footer_html = post_parser.generate_html_footer(main_raw, flags_list=merged_flags)
+```
+
+Дополнительно (§3.15): в `_reactions_views_links` пустая `reactions_html` НЕ
+добавляется в `first_line_parts` (иначе после перехода на реальный Message
+merged-посты с пустым reactions-объектом получили бы ведущий разделитель —
+артефакт, который сегодня есть и у одиночных постов; чиним для всех).
+
+Удалить конвертер целиком и импорт `SimpleNamespace`. Обновить golden
+(§3 пп.6, 8, 15) и СНЯТЬ сорт-нормализацию `message-flags` в
+golden-сравнении, введённую этапом 0: порядок флагов теперь детерминирован
+(§3.8), нормализация больше не нужна и лишь маскировала бы регрессии.
+
+Тесты: футер merged-группы — реальные ссылки главного сообщения; несколько
+custom-emoji → отдельные «❓ N» span'ы; paid → «⭐ N»; пустой reactions-объект →
+нет ведущего разделителя (и для одиночного поста); порядок флагов стабилен;
+**выделенный тест §3.7 с не-UTC TZ** (например `TZ=Europe/Moscow` + `tzset`):
+дата merged-футера совпадает с датой футера одиночного поста того же
+сообщения. TZ ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО восстанавливается в teardown (fixture/try-finally),
+иначе не-UTC протечёт в golden-тесты, которым conftest запинил UTC.
+
+DoD: функция удалена, pytest + golden зелёные.
+
+### Этап 3 — слияние близнецов вокруг `_prepare_feed_posts`
+
+```python

+    # 4) if enrich_replies: messages = await _reply_enrichment(client, messages)
+    # 5) try: to_thread(_render_pipeline, ...) finally: flush_pending_media_ids()
+```
+
+Форматтеры:
+
+- `generate_channel_rss`: `history_limit=limit*2, enrich_replies=False,
+  log_prefix="rss"` (RSS over-fetches so merging still yields ~limit posts) →
+  fg-метаданные + entries (`rss_date_range`-лог сохраняется) →
+  `to_thread(fg.rss_str)`.
+- `generate_channel_html`: `history_limit=limit, enrich_replies=True,
+  log_prefix="html"` (enrichment is HTML-only to keep RSS polling cheap —
+  deliberate) → join с `<hr>`.
+- Оба: `except ChannelNotFound as e: return create_error_feed(str(e.channel_identifier), base_url)`
+  (байт-эквивалентно текущему выводу: prepared-значение уже используется
+  сегодня, int/str интерполируются одинаково — проверено в ревью).
+- Внешние catch-логи ОСТАЮТСЯ в форматтерах со своими сегодняшними именами
+  (`generate_channel_rss: …` — rss_generator.py:526, `html_generation_error:
+  …` — 716): каждый форматтер сохраняет собственный внешний try/except.
+
+Тесты: golden без изменений (главный критерий); ChannelNotFound → error feed
+в обоих путях; FloodWait из get_chat → 429; FloodWait из истории → 429
+(новый, §3.9); ValueError из истории → 400.
+

+  `effective = (group_ids or {}).get(message.id, message.media_group_id)`;
+  sort-ключ групп — timestamp-based (naive-безопасный), фолбэк для None-date
+  групп `float('inf')` → детерминированно переживают `[:limit]`-срез как
+  новейшие; финальная сортировка постов в `_render_messages_groups`
+  (фолбэк `0.0`) НЕ меняется — None-date посты выводятся в конце фида (§3.12).
+- `_render_pipeline` при `time_based_merge`: маппинг + пред-сортировка входа
+  date-ASC тем же timestamp-ключом (фолбэк `+inf` — None-date в конце);
+  стабильный sorted на fetch-order входе воспроизводит порядок старого
+  `messages_sorted`, включая ties (старый sorted работал на deepcopy того же
+  fetch-order списка, мутации происходили после сортировки — проверено).
+  `sorted()` не мутирует вход — deepcopy не нужен.
+- Удалить `_create_time_based_media_groups` и импорт `copy`; поправить
+  модульный импорт в test_stage4_eventloop.py:34–42 (API relocation).
+- Добавить None-date фикстуру ТОЛЬКО в HTML-golden (§3.11–12): в RSS
+  None-date пост получает `pubDate = datetime.now()` (rss_generator.py:
+  503–507) — недетерминированно, и новую нормализацию для этого не вводим;
+  RSS-семантика None-date закрепляется unit-тестом (pubDate присутствует,
+  entry сгенерирован), вне golden.
+
+Тесты (`tests/test_group_ids.py`, naive-даты): time-кластер без id →
+синтетический; усыновление truthy id с backfill и перезаписью чужого id;
+falsy id (`0`, `""`) игнорируется как в старом коде; одиночка без entry;
+None-date не получает entry в маппинге, но его собственный `media_group_id`
+продолжает действовать (медиагруппа с None-датами собирается); смешанный
+None-date вход не падает (§3.11); полностью-None вход: новое поведение
+закреплено явно; None-date группы переживают `[:limit]`-срез (ключ групп
+`+inf`), в итоговом выводе — в конце фида (финальный фолбэк `0.0`, §3.12);
+вход не мутирован;
+ties при равных датах → порядок как у старого кода; кластеризация через
+DST-fold — как у старого кода (naive-вычитание).
+
+DoD: `copy.deepcopy` отсутствует; pytest + golden зелёные (golden-дифф — только
+добавленная None-date фикстура, §3.11–12).
+
+### Этап 5 — таблица медиа-типов в post_parser (два коммита)
+
+**5a — рефакторинг байт-в-байт.**
+
+Шаг 0: fragment-level снапшоты `_generate_html_media` (ДО санитайза) для всех
+типов: PHOTO, VIDEO, ANIMATION, VIDEO_NOTE, AUDIO, VOICE, STICKER img/video,
+DOCUMENT pdf/обычный, LIVE_PHOTO, STORY video/photo, POLL с description_media,
+PAID_MEDIA, WEB_PAGE с фото (пустой media-div!), **и edge-ветки**: WEB_PAGE
+без фото (незакрытый div — воспроизводится в 5a буквально), file_unique_id
+is None, channel_username is None, гейт webpage-превью «text ≤ 10».
+
+Источник сообщений для fragment-снапшотов (v6): ЗАПИСАННЫЙ КОРПУС этапа 0 —
+для всех типов, которые в нём есть (по инвентарю: PHOTO, VIDEO, ANIMATION,
+VIDEO_NOTE, AUDIO, VOICE, STICKER, DOCUMENT, POLL, WEB_PAGE, GIVEAWAY,
+GIVEAWAY_WINNERS). Моки — ТОЛЬКО для отсутствующих в корпусе типов
+(PAID_MEDIA, STORY, LIVE_PHOTO, CHECKLIST и прочая экзотика) — ограничение
+инвариант-теста «ложная зелень на моках» сужается до этих типов.
+
+```python
+# Single source of truth: media type -> (object selector, render kind).
+# kind=None means "selector-only entry": the object participates in file-id
+# extraction/collection, but rendering happens outside the dispatcher.
+# The ONLY kind=None entry is WEB_PAGE (rendered by _format_webpage).
+# PAID_MEDIA has NO entry at all: its info block stays a separate branch in
+# _generate_html_media, and it is deliberately not collected/downloadable.
+MEDIA_SOURCES: dict[MessageMediaType, Callable[[Message], tuple[Any, str | None]]] = {
+    MessageMediaType.PHOTO:    lambda m: (m.photo, 'img_400'),
+    MessageMediaType.DOCUMENT: _select_document,   # returns kind 'pdf' OR 'img_400' by mime_type
+    MessageMediaType.STICKER:  _select_sticker,    # video_loop_200 vs img_200_sticker
+    MessageMediaType.STORY:    _select_story,      # maps helper kinds video->'video_400', img->'img_400'
+    MessageMediaType.POLL:     _select_poll_media, # same helper-kind mapping
+    MessageMediaType.WEB_PAGE: lambda m: (getattr(m.web_page, 'photo', None), None),

+}
+
+@dataclass
+class RenderCtx:
+    url: str                      # signed /media URL — assembled by _generate_html_media,
+                                  # which KEEPS the digest call and the channel_username
+                                  # guard inline (they are not the renderer's business)
+    tg_link: str | None = None    # t.me deep link — only the 'pdf' renderer uses it
+    emoji: str = ''               # sticker alt text
+    mime: str | None = None       # audio/voice source type; the DEFAULT is chosen
+                                  # by the ctx builder in _generate_html_media BY
+                                  # MEDIA TYPE (AUDIO -> audio/mpeg, VOICE ->
+                                  # audio/ogg, branch:907/912) — the renderer
+                                  # receives a ready value and never guesses
+
+# Renderers, NOT naked format strings: a renderer returns list[str] so the
+# byte structure of '\n'.join is preserved (audio emits TWO items: tag + <br>;
+# pdf emits its two-append div block). Renderer bodies are lifted VERBATIM
+# from the existing if/elif branches — including the `src="{url}"style=`
+# concatenation artifacts — byte-for-byte fidelity is the 5a contract.
+RENDERERS: dict[str, Callable[[RenderCtx], list[str]]] = { ... }
+```
+
+PDF идёт ЧЕРЕЗ таблицу: `_select_document` возвращает kind `'pdf'` для
+`application/pdf`, `RENDERERS['pdf']` использует `ctx.tg_link` (сборка ссылки
+`t.me/c/...` vs `t.me/...` — в `_generate_html_media`, как сейчас).
+
+Потребители: `_get_file_unique_id`, `_save_media_file_ids`,
+`_generate_html_media` — все через селектор. Ограничение: `flags.append(...)`
+НЕ выносить из `_extract_flags` (эндпоинт `/flags` парсит его исходник через
+`inspect.getsource`); тест: `get_all_possible_flags()` непуст и содержит
+известные флаги.
+
+Межмодульный инвариант-тест (границу с api_server закрепить машинно):
+для каждого типа из MEDIA_SOURCES объект, выбранный селектором, находится
+`api_server.find_file_id_in_message` по своему `file_unique_id` — новые entry
+таблицы не могут дать URL, который download-путь не разрешит (иначе /media
+404). Ограничение теста: обе стороны работают на моках — класс багов «обе
+функции ждут атрибут, которого нет у реального kurigram-объекта» он не ловит;
+опциональная best-effort митигация — сверка атрибутов моков с
+`pyrogram.types` (сама интроспекция хрупка при апгрейдах kurigram; ядро
+теста ценно и без неё, обязательной её не делать).
+Сама `find_file_id_in_message` НЕ сливается с таблицей: её контракт шире —
+поиск любого скачиваемого объекта независимо от `message.media`, включая
+`explanation_media`, который рендер сознательно игнорирует (§7).
+
+**5b — зарегистрированные фиксы** (отдельный коммит): закрыть
+`</div>` во всех ветках (§3.14); guard «>100 МБ» на любой медиа-объект
+(§3.13); обновить fragment-снапшоты с diff-комментарием. Feed-level golden
+5b не трогает сверх этих пунктов.
+
+DoD: прямые атрибутные ЦЕПОЧКИ вида `m.photo.file_unique_id` — только в
+селекторах таблицы, хелперах `_poll_media_object`/`_story_media_object`
+(это и есть реализация селекторов) и `_format_webpage`. Потребители
+извлекают uid единообразно — `getattr(selected_obj, 'file_unique_id', None)`
+от объекта, ВОЗВРАЩЁННОГО селектором; санкционированные точки извлечения:
+`_get_file_unique_id`, `_save_media_file_ids`, инвариант-тест. Три лестницы
+удалены; снапшоты обоих уровней + pytest зелёные; инвариант-тест с
+api_server зелёный.
+
+### Этап 6 — косметика
+
+1. `_wrap_post_html(body, footer)` — единая обёртка (сейчас три копии:
+   `_format_html` и обе ветки `_render_messages_groups`).
+2. Инлайн-стили 400px/200px → константы (если не закрыто этапом 5).
+3. `_trim_messages_groups` → инлайн-срез `[:limit]`; поправить импорт в
+   test_stage4_eventloop.py (API relocation).
+4. Комментарии «stage-4»/«4.4» — переписать под новую границу санитайза.
+5. Фильтр exclude_flags → comprehension; фильтр exclude_text — оставить
+   циклом или обернуть предикатом, но `excluded_post`-debug-лог СОХРАНИТЬ
+   (единственный след, почему пост выпал из фида).
+
+## 6. Порядок и зависимости
+
+`0 → 1 → 2 → 3` строго последовательно. `4` и `5` независимы, после 3.
+`6` — последним. Каждый этап мержибелен сам по себе.
+
+## 7. Сознательно НЕ делаем (отложено)
+
+- Унификация глубины истории RSS (`limit*2`) vs HTML (`limit`).
+  Симптом: кэш истории — ОДИН файл на канал, limit хранится внутри и при
+  несовпадении — miss (tg_cache.py:43–52, 106–109); канал с обоими
+  потребителями живёт в вечном miss-цикле со взаимным вытеснением и
+  удвоенным RPC. НЕ отложено — чинится в отдельном эпике кешей (ишью #23,
+  Package B: префиксная выдача истории, `cached_limit >= limit` → hit).
+  Здесь ничего делать не нужно, но при мёрже учитывать пересечение (см.
+  комментарий к эпику #34).
+- `_reply_enrichment` в RSS-пути (RPC-нагрузка от частых опросов ридеров).
+- HTML-страница ошибки для `generate_channel_html` (сейчас RSS-XML).
+- Кэширование/демутация `_reply_enrichment` (мутирует кэшированные Message).
+- `api_server.find_file_id_in_message`: остаётся отдельной (контракт шире
+  рендера — см. этап 5a), граница закрыта инвариант-тестом.
+- Валидация `merge_seconds` в api_server (сейчас принимает `<=0` из query).
+- Валидация `exclude_text` (невалидный regex → `re.error` → 500 и сейчас,
+  и после этапа 3 — api_server пробрасывает параметр как есть).
+- CDATA-риск feedgen: html5lib не эскейпит `>` в атрибутах, `]]>` внутри href
+  теоретически рвёт CDATA. Пре-существующий, вне скоупа.
+- `/flags` через `inspect.getsource` — хрупкая механика, замена отложена.
+
+## 8. Журнал адверсариального ревью
+
+### Раунд 1 (по v1): 26 претензий (2 blocker, 8 major, 12 minor, 4 nit)
+
+- Приняты полностью и внесены: №3 (protocols), №4 (правки тестов при API
+  relocation), №5 (golden-оракул → этап 0), №6 (TZ merged-футера, §3.7),
+  №7 (FloodWait истории → 429, §3.9), №11 (§3.10), №12 (lazy-import пин),
+  №13 (наблюдаемость, log_context), №14 (реальная дельта реакций, §3.6),
+  №16+№15 (naive/aware краш → §3.11–12, truthiness), №18 (edge-матрица
+  снапшотов), №19 (payload ChannelNotFound), №20 (§3.5), №21 (обоснование
+  шареного CSSSanitizer), №22 (/flags-мина), №23 (excluded_post-лог),
+  №24 (контракт one-chat), №25 (§2), №26 (CDATA в §7).
+- №1 (blocker): снято разделением этапа 5 на 5a/5b и двумя слоями эталонов.
+- №2 (blocker): понижено до пункта реестра §3.4 по согласованной формулировке.
+- №8: контракты `find_file_id_in_message` и MEDIA_SOURCES признаны разными;
+  граница закрыта инвариант-тестом по предложению критика.
+- №9: закрыт пред-сортировкой входа naive-безопасным ключом.
+- №10: база запинена на f9550d8.
+- №17: `TAG_TEMPLATES: dict[str, str]` заменён на renderer-функции.
+
+### Раунд 2 (по v2): 13 претензий (1 blocker, 4 major, 5 minor, 3 nit)
+
+- №1 (blocker): краш naive/aware живёт в ДЕФОЛТНОМ пути сортировки групп, а
+  не только в тайм-кластеризации (подтверждено эмпирически) → §1 исправлен,
+  None-date фикстура перенесена из этапа 0 в этап 4 (вариант «а» критика),
+  §3.12 уточнён.
+- №2: направление дельты пустых реакций было инвертировано → выбран
+  fix-вариант: §3.15 (чинится для всех постов), формулировка §3.6 очищена.
+- №3: `strip=True` внесён в спеку полным вызовом `clean()` (тот же класс
+  дыры, что protocols в раунде 1).
+- №4: детерминизм golden обеспечен (TZ-пин, нормализация lastBuildDate/
+  generator); зафиксировано, что §3.7 golden не верифицирует → выделенный
+  не-UTC тест в этапе 2.
+- №5: противоречие DOCUMENT/PDF разрешено в пользу «PDF через таблицу»,
+  ctx расширен полем tg_link.
+- №6: RenderCtx специфицирован (поля, владелец сборки URL, verbatim-правило).
+- №7: базис gap зафиксирован — naive-вычитание как в старом коде (timestamp
+  расходится в DST-fold).
+- №8: позиция None-date групп зарегистрирована (§3.12: новейшие, `+inf`).
+- №9: формулировка теста исправлена («нет entry в маппинге», а не «синглтон»).
+- №10: ограничение инвариант-теста (ложная зелень на моках) проговорено +
+  митигация.
+- №11: `_render_pipeline` получает `channel` для log_context (этап 1 п.2).
+- №12: диаграмма §2 исправлена (фильтры/sort внутри `_render_messages_groups`,
+  санитайз после фильтров).
+- №13: DoD 5a включает хелперы `_poll_media_object`/`_story_media_object`.
+- Чистыми признаны: эквивалентность error feed (B5), §3.9 против tg_cache и
+  429/Retry-After (B6), эквивалентность пред-сортировки (B3), внесение всех
+  исходов раунда 1.
+
+### Раунд 3 (верификация дельты v3)
+
+- Пять из шести выборов подтверждены (None-date → этап 4; fix пустых реакций;
+  PDF через таблицу; naive-gap; полный clean()).
+- Возражение по №5 принято: `+inf` определяет только выживание группы при
+  `[:limit]`-срезе, итоговую позицию задаёт финальная сортировка с фолбэком
+  `0.0` (None-date посты — в конце фида, как и раньше) — §3.12, этап 4 и его
+  тест переформулированы.
+- Криво внесённое исправлено: список ожидаемых golden-изменений дополнен
+  этапом 5b (п.14); исключения single-post пути в §2 расширены до
+  пп. 2, 13, 14, 15.
+- Практические заметки внесены: teardown TZ в не-UTC тесте §3.7; два
+  независимых Config-дикта при monkeypatch `time_based_merge`.
+
+### Раунд 4 (по v3): 17 пунктов (2 major, 4 minor, остальное nit/экономика)
+
+- Детерминизм golden добит двумя major-находками: порядок merged-флагов до
+  этапа 2 зависит от PYTHONHASHSEED (`list(set)`) → сорт-нормализация
+  `message-flags` до этапа 2; ключ подписи media-URL (`secrets.token_hex` в
+  `data/media_digest.key`) → пин autouse-фикстурой.
+- Согласован состав фикстур: добавлен strikethrough-пост (иначе §3.1
+  невидим), пп.2/5 помечены как невидимые для golden; exclude-сценарии
+  вынесены из golden в unit-тесты (экономическая критика).
+- `timed()` выкинут: не мог сохранить парные `rss_/html_` имена логов и не
+  окупался — заменён параметром `log_prefix` у `_prepare_feed_posts`.
+- Кодер-готовность: оба call-site'а `_render_pipeline` в этапах 1–2
+  проговорены; владелец mime-дефолта — ctx-билдер по media-типу; указатель
+  на паттерн monkeypatch tg_cache в этапе 0; обоснование двойного
+  Config-патча исправлено (достаточно rss_generator.Config).
+- Митигация инвариант-теста через интроспекцию `pyrogram.types` понижена до
+  опциональной (сама хрупка при апгрейдах).
+- §7 пополнен: вечный miss-цикл кэша истории у dual-consumer каналов (цена
+  отложенной унификации глубины), валидация exclude_text.
+- C-остатки признаны чистыми: частичный flush и дубли upsert закреплены
+  существующими тестами; лог одиночного санитайза контекста и сегодня не
+  имеет; api_server пробрасывает exclude_* без валидации — поведение не
+  меняется.
+- Экономический вердикт критика: аппарат тяжёл для ~700 строк рефакторинга,
+  но каждый элемент отвечает конкретному найденному багу; срезаны только
+  `timed()`, exclude-фикстуры и обязательность интроспекции. Этапы не
+  сливать: раздельная мержибельность дешевле.
+
+### Раунд 5 (по v4): независимый холодный проход, 8 пунктов (1 blocker, 1 major)
+
+Второй критик — без контекста предыдущих раундов, с запретом доверять
+журналу и реестру на слово. Итог валидации: ВСЕ line-refs §1 и ключевые
+эмпирические утверждения спеки подтверждены независимо (включая вырезание
+hr, заглатывание постов незакрытым div, strip/protocols-семантику, TypeError
+в дефолтном пути, miss-цикл кэша, соответствие MEDIA_SOURCES реальной
+лестнице вплоть до артефактов, находимость всех селекторных объектов в
+find_file_id_in_message); архитектурные решения признаны чистыми. Найдены
+дефекты исполнимости:
+
+- Blocker: None-date фикстура в RSS-golden недетерминированна
+  (`pubDate = now()` для None-date entry) → фикстура включается только в
+  HTML-golden, RSS-семантика — unit-тестом (этап 4 переписан).
+- Major: три имени санитайз-логов физически сливаются в одно при делегате —
+  противоречие с §4 → зарегистрировано как §3.16 (единое
+  `html_sanitization_error` + log_context); внешние catch-логи форматтеров
+  явно оставлены в этапе 3.
+- Механизм волатильности feedgen уточнён (lastBuildDate — один раз в
+  конструкторе, не при сериализации; generator без версии — нормализация
+  опциональна).
+- §3.11/контракт этапа 4: «Было» дополнено выжившими aware+None и
+  fully-None входами (кластеризация None-хвоста с adoption), заголовок
+  docstring сужен до «survived on production data».
+- DoD 5a переписан: единообразное извлечение uid через
+  `getattr(selected_obj, ...)` с санкционированными точками (сигнатура
+  селектора uid не возвращает — старая формулировка была невыполнима).
+- Этап 0: добавлен пин записи media-id (cwd-относительный DB_PATH писал бы
+  в реальную data/ из golden-тестов); поправлен line-ref api_server;
+  каветт §3.12 про будущие даты.
+
+Отклонённых претензий нет; по всем спорным пунктам достигнут консенсус.
+
+### v6 — golden-корпус: записанные реальные сообщения (решение владельца)
+
+Не раунд ревью — изменение дизайна по решению владельца проекта, с
+немедленной эмпирической проверкой:
+
+- Корпус этапа 0 переведён с синтетики на записанные кэши прод-сервера
+  (`data/tgcache/*.cache|.chatinfo` — пиклы того же формата, что читает
+  прод-путь cache-hit). Мотив: холодный проход (раунд 5) пометил класс
+  «мок и код согласованно ждут несуществующий атрибут» как неловимый на
+  моках — реальные объекты закрывают его целиком.
+- Снапшот кэша снят (90 каналов), совместимость пиклов со старым kurigram
+  проверена под 2.2.23: 179/179 файлов без ошибок.
+- Инвентарь покрытия: 8582 сообщения, все даты naive (посылка спеки
+  подтверждена данными); покрыты в т.ч. edge-кейсы §3.1 (зачёркивания: 150)
+  и §3.15 (пустые reactions-объекты: 17), webpage с/без фото, ~294
+  time-кластерные пары. Синтетика сузилась до None-date и отсутствующих
+  типов (PAID_MEDIA, STORY, LIVE_PHOTO, CHECKLIST, прочая экзотика).
+- Fragment-снапшоты этапа 5a — тоже на корпусе, где тип доступен;
+  ограничение инвариант-теста сузилось до mock-only типов.

+# Спецификация: рефакторинг и оптимизация кешей pyrogram-bridge
+
+Статус: **принята владельцем 2026-07-05. Адверсарное ревью — 4 раунда, возражений не осталось.**
+История ревью — раздел 12. Реализация разбита на ишью в gitea (по PR-юнитам: A+B+F, C, D, E).
+
+## 0. Контекст и цели
+
+В проекте три слоя кеша:
+
+1. **История сообщений и инфо о канале** — pickle-файлы в `data/tgcache/` (`tg_cache.py`).
+2. **Медиафайлы** — файлы в `data/cache/<channel>/<post_id>/<file_unique_id>` + метаданные в SQLite `data/media_file_ids.db` (`api_server.py`, `file_io.py`).
+3. **Runtime-структуры** — `_access_updates`, `_inflight`, `download_queue` в `api_server.py`.
+
+Проблемы, которые закрывает спецификация (по результатам аудита):
+
+| # | Проблема | Пакет |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | Pickle полных `Message` — формат привязан к версии pyrogram/kurigram, тихий дрейф схемы, opaque-формат | A |
+| 2 | Строгое `cached_limit == limit` + разные limit у RSS (`limit*2`) и HTML (`limit`) → кеш истории фактически не работает | B |
+| 3 | Один канал живёт под ключами разного регистра/формы записи (`Durov`/`durov`, `@name`/`name`) в трёх слоях → дубли кеша. Унификация ID↔username — сознательная НЕ-цель (см. раздел 8) | C |
+| 4 | Два почти идентичных pickle-кеша в `tg_cache.py` (история/chatinfo) — дублирование кода | A |
+| 5 | Legacy-мусор (`*_history.cache`, двойной pickle, `data/media_file_ids.json`); чистка `data/tgcache` вводится как стартовая + периодический age-sweep (мгновенной GC по событию не будет — файлы мёртвых каналов живут до 7 суток) | A, F |
+| 6 | Свипер медиа-кеша: полный проход таблицы + `os.walk` каждые 60 с при политиках «20 дней»/«1 час» | D |
+| 7 | Баг: чистка «мёртвых» строк SQLite выполняется только при `files_removed > 0` | D |
+| 8 | Чтение MIME из SQLite (новое соединение + threadpool-hop) на каждом хите `/media` | E |
+| 9 | Джиттер TTL перебрасывается на каждом чтении → недетерминированное поведение у границы TTL (усложняет рассуждения и тесты) | F |
+| 10 | Очередь фоновых загрузок без дедупа — повторная постановка одного файла каждым проходом свипа | D |
+| 11 | Путь медиа-кеша (`./data/cache` + join) собирается вручную в 7 местах | E |
+
+## 1. Состав пакетов и порядок
+
+| Пакет | Задания | Что | Зависимости | Файлы |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **A** | 1–5 | Снапшот-словари вместо pickle + generic JSON-store + чистка legacy tgcache | — | `message_snapshot.py` (новый), `tg_cache.py`, `api_server.py` (1 строка), тесты |
+| **B** | 6–7 | Префиксная выдача истории вместо строгого `limit` | после A | `tg_cache.py`, тесты |

+## 2. Пакет A — кеш истории на извлечённых словарях
+
+### 2.1. Принцип
+
+Кеш истории перестаёт хранить pickle живых объектов pyrogram. При записи из `Message`
+извлекается JSON-словарь по явному allowlist полей (снапшот); при чтении из него
+восстанавливается лёгкий duck-typed объект `CachedMessage`, неотличимый для конвейера
+рендеринга (`rss_generator.py`, `post_parser.py`) от настоящего `Message`.
+**Конвейер не меняется вообще** — главный инвариант дизайна.
+
+Выгоды: формат на диске отвязан от версии pyrogram/kurigram; версионирование схемы
+(несовпадение → честный miss вместо тихого дрейфа); JSON читаем при отладке;
+явный документированный контракт «от каких полей Message зависит рендер»
+(сейчас он размазан по ~2000 строк); файл меньше и парсится быстрее полного графа объектов.
+Отклонённая альтернатива — раздел 11.
+
+### 2.2. Ключевые проектные решения
+
+| # | Решение | Обоснование |
+|---|---|---|
+| Р1 | Новый модуль `message_snapshot.py`: `snapshot_message()` / `restore_message()` | Схема сериализации отделена от механики кеша; меняются независимо |
+| Р2 | `text`/`caption` хранятся парой `{plain, html}`; `.html` вычисляется **при записи** через pyrogram `Str.html` | Конвертация entities→HTML требует машинерии pyrogram, доступной на живом объекте (`post_parser.py:674-675`). Проверено: `Str.html` работает офлайн, без клиента |
+| Р3 | При восстановлении `text`/`caption` — `CachedStr(str)` с атрибутом `.html` | Потребители используют и строковые операции (`len`, `strip`, regex, `or`), и `.text.html`; str-подкласс покрывает всё. Это паттерн pyrogram `Str` |
+| Р4 | `media` восстанавливается в настоящий `MessageMediaType[name]`; `KeyError` → `None` + warning | 31 место сравнивает с enum и использует его ключом dict (`post_parser.py:1004-1017`) |
+| Р5 | `service` хранится и восстанавливается **строкой-именем** (`"PINNED_MESSAGE"`) | Все потребители — truthiness и `'X' in str(service)` (`rss_generator.py:112-121`, `post_parser.py:305`). Строка версионно-устойчива |
+| Р6 | `date` — `isoformat()` туда, `fromisoformat()` обратно | Сохраняет naive/aware ровно как у pyrogram; `strftime`, `timestamp()`, сортировки работают |
+| Р7 | Вложенные объекты восстанавливаются с **полным набором ключей схемы, None-дефолты** — «как живые». **Единственное исключение — `forward_origin`**: у него присутствие ключа зеркалит присутствие атрибута на исходном объекте | Живые pyrogram-объекты всегда имеют все атрибуты (ставятся в `__init__`, напр. `Reaction`: `emoji=None, custom_emoji_id=None, is_paid=None`) — код обращается к вложенным полям и напрямую (`rss_generator.py:131` — `message.chat.username` в except-хендлере; `post_parser.py:1087-1090` — `u.username`/`u.active` без getattr), omit-None дал бы там `AttributeError` → 500 на фид. А вот живые `MessageOrigin*`-классы имеют РАЗНЫЕ наборы атрибутов, и `_format_forward_info` ветвится по `hasattr` (Case 1–5, `post_parser.py:629-669`) — для forward_origin присутствие ключей семантично |
+| Р8 | `CachedMessage` — мутабельный, полный набор top-level атрибутов с дефолтами `None`/`False` | `_reply_enrichment` присваивает `message.reply_to_message` (`rss_generator.py:574`); доступ к атрибутам не должен кидать `AttributeError`; `copy.deepcopy` (`rss_generator.py:43`) должен работать |
+| Р9 | Файл: JSON `{"version", "timestamp", "limit", "messages"}`, имена `<key>.history.json` / `<key>.chatinfo.json`. Атомарная запись: **уникальный tmp `<path>.tmp.<uuid4().hex>`** → `os.replace`, в `finally` — удаление своего tmp (образец: `_download_atomic`, `api_server.py:460-479`) | Версия отсекает старые схемы; новые расширения игнорируют старые pickle; уникальный tmp исключает перемешивание байтов при конкурентных miss'ах одного канала (RSS+HTML параллельно пишут через `asyncio.to_thread`); rename чинит порчу при падении посреди записи |
+| Р10 | TTL / джиттер / строгий `limit` в пакете A — **без изменений** | Behavior-neutral рефакторинг; limit меняет пакет B, джиттер — пакет F |
+| Р11 | Миграции старых pickle нет: старые файлы = miss; стартовая чистка удаляет legacy | Кеш самовосстанавливается за ≤ TTL (история 8 ч; chatinfo 12 ч по умолчанию, настраивается `TG_CHAT_CACHE_TTL_HOURS`) |
+
+### 2.3. Схема снапшота v1 (контракт)
+
+Выведена из фактического потребления полей конвейером (инвентарь по `rss_generator.py`
+и `post_parser.py`, включая `hasattr`-семантику и enum-сравнения) и сверена с типами
+kurigram 2.2.23 (`.venv`).

+}
+```
+
+### 2.4. Критические тонкости (обязательны к учёту)
+
+1. **`poll.question` и КАЖДЫЙ `poll.options[].text` в kurigram 2.2.23 — всегда объекты
+   `FormattedText`** (проверено: `poll.py:105,220`, `poll_option.py:72,84` в `.venv`), не строки.
+   Снапшот обязан разворачивать оба в plain-строку правилом
+   `v.text if hasattr(v, 'text') else str(v)` (правило корректно и для `Str`, и для голой
+   строки). Если положить `FormattedText` в словарь как есть — `json.dump` кинет `TypeError`,
+   `_save_history_to_cache` проглотит её, и **кеш молча перестанет сохраняться для любого
+   канала с опросом в выборке**. Восстановление: `question` → str,
+   `options` → namespace с `.text` (голая строка в options дала бы
+   `getattr(option, 'text', '') == ''` → пустые опции, `post_parser.py:992`).
+2. **Реакции восстанавливаются с полным набором ключей** (`emoji`, `custom_emoji_id`,
+   `count`, `is_paid`; отсутствующие значения — `None`) — ровно как живой `Reaction`,
+   у которого `__init__` всегда ставит все атрибуты. Ветвление в
+   `post_parser.py:399-410` и `:928-934` на живых объектах работает через truthiness,
+   а не через отсутствие атрибута — восстановленный объект обязан вести себя так же.
+   `custom_emoji_id` — **строка** (kurigram: `str(reaction.document_id)`).
+3. **`forward_origin`** — единственный объект с presence-семантикой: Case 4 различается по
+   `hasattr(forward_origin, "chat_id") and hasattr(..., "title")`; при снапшоте пишутся
+   только реально присутствующие (non-None) поля-кандидаты, при восстановлении — только
+   записанные ключи.
+4. **`video.file_size` обязателен** — правило «не кешировать видео >100 МБ» в
+   `_save_media_file_ids` (`post_parser.py:1058`).
+5. **`chat.usernames`** — список объектов с `.username`/`.active`
+   (`post_parser.py:1087-1090`, прямой доступ без getattr — оба ключа всегда присутствуют).
+6. **`CachedMessage.__str__`** — читаемый JSON-дамп: попадает в error-логи
+   (`post_parser.py:980`).
+
+### 2.5. Задание 1 — новый модуль `message_snapshot.py`
+
+```python
+SNAPSHOT_VERSION = 1
+
+class CachedStr(str):
+    """str subclass carrying a precomputed .html rendering, mirroring pyrogram's Str.
+    deepcopy/pickle preserve the instance __dict__, so .html survives copying."""
+    # factory: CachedStr.build(plain, html)
+
+class CachedMessage:
+    """Duck-typed stand-in for pyrogram Message, restored from a snapshot dict.
+    Mutable (reply enrichment assigns .reply_to_message). All pipeline-consumed
+    top-level attributes exist with None/False defaults, so getattr never raises."""
+    # __str__/__repr__: json.dumps of the snapshot dict, default=str
+
+def snapshot_message(message) -> dict: ...
+def restore_message(data: dict) -> CachedMessage: ...
+def snapshot_messages(messages) -> list[dict]: ...
+def restore_messages(items: list[dict]) -> list[CachedMessage]: ...
+```
+
+Требования:
+- `snapshot_message` извлекает строго по схеме 2.3; каждое поле через `getattr(..., None)`.
+- Styled-text (`FormattedText`/`Str`/str) разворачивается правилом
+  `v.text if hasattr(v, 'text') else str(v)` — применяется к `poll.question` и каждому
+  `poll.options[].text` (см. 2.4.1).
+- `text`/`caption`: `{"plain": str(value), "html": value.html}`; если `.html` недоступен —
+  `html = plain`.
+- `media`: `message.media.name`; `service`: `message.service.name`
+  (оба через безопасный `getattr(x, 'name', str(x))`).
+- Восстановление: помощник `_ns(d: dict, keys: tuple) -> SimpleNamespace` — ставит ВСЕ
+  перечисленные ключи схемы (None-дефолт для отсутствующих); для `forward_origin` — режим
+  «только записанные ключи». Спец-обработка: `text/caption → CachedStr`,
+  `media → MessageMediaType[name]` (при `KeyError` — warning + `None`),
+  `date → datetime.fromisoformat`, `reactions → SimpleNamespace(reactions=[...])`
+  (обёртка-контейнер, как у pyrogram).
+- Дефолты `CachedMessage`: `id, date, text, caption, media, service, media_group_id, views,
+  show_caption_above_media, reply_to_message_id, reply_to_message=None, empty=False, chat,
+  sender_chat, from_user, forward_origin, reactions, poll, web_page, photo, video, document,
+  audio, voice, video_note, animation, sticker`.
+- Комментарии в коде — только английские.
+
+### 2.6. Задание 2 — переписать `tg_cache.py` на generic JSON-store
+
+1. Убрать `import pickle` полностью. Удалить ветку double-pickle (`tg_cache.py:111-116`).
+2. Generic-пара (заменяет обе дублирующиеся тройки функций):
+
+```python
+def _store_entry(path: str, payload: dict) -> None:
+    """Atomically write {'version', 'timestamp', **payload} as JSON.
+    Writes to a unique '<path>.tmp.<uuid4hex>' and os.replace()s it into place;
+    the finally block always removes this writer's own tmp file."""
+
+def _load_entry(path: str, max_age_hours: float) -> Optional[dict]:
+    """Return payload dict, or None on: missing file, version mismatch,
+    expired TTL (keep the existing up-to-20% read-time jitter as-is in package A;
+    package F moves it to write time), JSON error."""
+```
+
+3. Пути: `<safe_key>.history.json` и `<safe_key>.chatinfo.json`
+   (общий помощник `_cache_file_path(key, suffix)` вместо двух копий).
+4. `_save_history_to_cache`: `payload = {'limit': limit, 'messages': snapshot_messages(messages)}`.
+   `_get_history_from_cache`: проверка `limit` как сейчас (пакет A не меняет), возврат
+   `restore_messages(...)`.
+5. `_save_chat_to_cache` / `_get_chat_from_cache`: тот же store, `payload = {'data': {...}}`.
+6. Новая функция `cleanup_legacy_cache_files() -> int` — удаляет из `CACHE_DIR` файлы
+   `*.cache` и `*.chatinfo` (старые pickle-форматы, включая `*_history.cache`), возвращает
+   число удалённых. Ошибки удаления — warning, не исключение.
+7. Сигнатуры и поведение `cached_get_chat_history` / `cached_get_chat` не меняются:
+   на miss возвращаются живые `Message`, на hit — `CachedMessage`; обе формы duck-совместимы
+   (как сегодня pickle-копия vs живой объект).
+
+### 2.7. Задание 3 — стартовая чистка в `api_server.py`
+
+В `lifespan` после `init_db_sync`, **до** запуска фоновых задач:
+
+```python
+# One-shot cleanup of legacy pickle cache files (pre-JSON formats)
+await asyncio.to_thread(cleanup_legacy_cache_files)
+```
+
+Больше в `api_server.py` в рамках пакета A ничего не трогать.
+
+### 2.8. Задание 4 — тесты `tests/test_message_snapshot.py`
+
+Фейковые `Message` — на `SimpleNamespace` (паттерн существующих тестов); `text` — мини-класс
+`str` с атрибутом `.html`. Обязательные кейсы:
+
+1. Round-trip основных полей: id, date (naive и aware — оба сохраняют tz-ность), text.html,
+   caption.html, media enum (`is MessageMediaType.PHOTO`), views, media_group_id.
+2. **Poll с FormattedText-подобными объектами**: фейк `question = SimpleNamespace(text="Q?",
+   entities=[])`, каждый option — `SimpleNamespace(text=SimpleNamespace(text="Opt",
+   entities=[]))`. Проверить: снапшот JSON-сериализуем (`json.dumps` не падает);
+   восстановленный `poll.question` — строка; `getattr(option, 'text', '') == "Opt"`.
+   Тест обязан ПАДАТЬ, если снапшот кладёт FormattedText как есть.
+3. Реакции: обычная / paid / custom-emoji. У восстановленной custom-реакции:
+   `hasattr(r, 'emoji') is True`, `r.emoji is None`, `r.custom_emoji_id` — строка;
+   ветка в `_reactions_views_links`-подобной логике выбирается по truthiness, как у живой.
+4. forward_origin Case 1–5: `hasattr`-ветвление выбирает правильный case
+   (проверять именно наличие/отсутствие атрибутов — здесь presence-семантика сохраняется).
+5. service: `'PINNED_MESSAGE' in str(restored.service)`.
+6. Мутабельность + deepcopy: присвоение `msg.reply_to_message = X`;
+   `copy.deepcopy(restored)` сохраняет `.text.html`.
+7. Неизвестный media name (`"FUTURE_TYPE"`) → `media is None`, без исключения.
+8. Store: `_store_entry`/`_load_entry` — round-trip, TTL-протухание, version mismatch → None,
+   битый JSON → None; уникальность tmp-путей: перехватить `os.replace` (или замокать
+   `uuid.uuid4`) и проверить, что два вызова `_store_entry` в один path использовали
+   РАЗНЫЕ tmp-имена, а итоговый файл валиден — одиночный «конкурентный» прогон окно
+   гонки не ловит и сломанную реализацию с фиксированным tmp пропустит;
+   `cleanup_legacy_cache_files` удаляет `*.cache`/`*.chatinfo`, не трогает
+   `*.history.json` (использовать `tmp_path`).
+9. `_save_media_file_ids` на восстановленном сообщении с `video.file_size` > 100 МБ ничего
+   не добавляет в `_pending_media_ids`.
+10. Восстановленный `chat` для канала без username: `message.chat.username` — `None`
+    (не `AttributeError`) — регресс-тест на правило Р7 (сценарий `rss_generator.py:131`).
+
+### 2.9. Задание 5 — верификация пакета A
+
+- `pytest` — весь существующий набор зелёный.
+- `grep pickle tg_cache.py` — пусто; `post_parser.py` и `rss_generator.py` не изменены.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Пакет B — история: префикс вместо строгого равенства `limit`
+
+**Проблема:** `tg_cache.py:106-109` требует `cached_limit == limit`; RSS просит `limit*2`
+(`rss_generator.py:419`), HTML — `limit` (`rss_generator.py:639`), оба пишут в один файл.
+Чередование запросов превращает кеш в решето.
+
+### 3.1. Задание 6 — логика префикса в `_get_history_from_cache`
+
+Сообщения в кеше лежат от новых к старым (порядок `get_chat_history`), поэтому запрос
+с меньшим `limit` — это префикс:
+
+```python
+cached_limit = payload.get('limit', 0)
+raw_messages = payload['messages']
+# Serve from cache when it was fetched with an equal-or-larger limit, OR when the
+# channel is exhausted (fewer messages exist than were asked for at fetch time —
+# the cache then holds the channel's entire recent history and satisfies ANY limit).
+if cached_limit < limit and len(raw_messages) >= cached_limit:
+    log("history_cache_limit_insufficient: cached %s < requested %s", cached_limit, limit)
+    return None
+return restore_messages(raw_messages[:limit])
+```
+
+- `_save_history_to_cache` не меняется: хранит `limit`, с которым делался fetch.
+- Лог хита дополнить: `served {limit} of cached {cached_limit}`.
+- Сходимость: первый запрос с большим `limit` после протухания перезапишет кеш «широкой»
+  версией, дальше меньшие запросы — хиты.
+
+### 3.2. Задание 7 — тесты
+
+1. Кеш `limit=100` (100 сообщений) → запрос `limit=50` — хит, ровно 50 первых, порядок сохранён.
+2. Кеш `limit=50` → запрос `limit=100` — промах.
+3. Исчерпанный канал: кеш `limit=100`, 37 сообщений → запрос `limit=200` — хит, 37 сообщений.
+4. TTL работает независимо от limit.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Пакет C — единая канонизация ключа канала
+
+**Проблема:** один канал живёт под ключами `Durov` / `durov` / `@name` в tgcache-файлах,
+каталогах `data/cache/` и строках SQLite → дубли кеша, двойные походы в Telegram,
+осиротевшие деревья при смене регистра/формы. (Унификация ID↔username — не-цель, раздел 8.)
+
+### 4.1. Задание 8 — новый модуль `channel_key.py`
+
+Отдельный модуль без зависимостей (его импортируют `tg_cache`, `post_parser`, `api_server` —
+отдельность исключает циклические импорты):
+
+```python
+def canonical_channel_key(channel: str | int) -> str:
+    """Canonical cache/DB key for a channel.
+
+    Telegram usernames are case-insensitive -> lowercase them.
+    Numeric '-100...' ids keep their exact string form.
+    The '@' prefix is stripped.
+
+    The canonical form is also SAFE to pass to Telegram API calls (usernames are
+    case-insensitive on the API side; the numeric form is unchanged) — callers that
+    thread one value through both filesystem paths and API calls may use it for both.
+    """
+    s = str(channel).strip().lstrip('@')
+    if s.startswith('-100') and s[4:].isdigit():
+        return s
+    return s.lower()
+```
+
+### 4.2. Задание 9 — применить ключ во всех трёх слоях
+
+1. **`tg_cache.py`**: в `_cache_file_path(key, suffix)` прогонять ключ через
+   `canonical_channel_key`.
+2. **`post_parser.get_channel_username`** (`post_parser.py:1081-1097`): возвращать username
+   в нижнем регистре (обе ветки — `usernames`-список и одиночный `username`). Это
+   канонизирует записи SQLite (`_save_media_file_ids`), генерируемые media-URL и `t.me`-ссылки
+   (t.me к регистру нечувствителен).
+3. **`api_server.get_media`** (`api_server.py:1153-1183`): после проверки digest вычислить
+   `fs_channel = canonical_channel_key(channel)` и использовать вместо `str(channel)` везде
+   ниже: pre-semaphore путь, ключ `_access_updates`, `media_key`, аргумент `_download_deduped`
+   (протекает в `download_media_file` → каталоги, API-вызов и удаление из SQLite — для API
+   канонический идентификатор безопасен, см. docstring 4.1).
+   **Digest проверять по исходной строке URL** — иначе сломаются все выданные ссылки.
+
+### 4.3. Задание 10 — one-shot миграция существующих данных
+
+Без миграции каждый ранее закешированный медиафайл канала с не-lowercase username даёт
+после деплоя cache-miss → повторную загрузку из Telegram (шторм ограничен такими каналами
+и фактически запрашиваемыми файлами, но страховка дешёвая — делаем).
+
+Новая функция `migrate_channel_keys_sync(db_path: str, cache_dir: str) -> None`. Вызов —
+в `lifespan` **после `init_db_sync`, ДО `client.start()` и до запуска фоновых задач**,
+строго через `await asyncio.to_thread(migrate_channel_keys_sync, ...)` — функция
+синхронная (FS-rename + SQLite), голый вызов заблокировал бы event loop на время
+миграции; размещение до `client.start()` дополнительно исключает влияние на сетевые
+таски pyrogram и гонки со свипером/access-flush.
+
+Единица работы — **канал целиком, сначала FS, потом SQL** (порядок принципиален:
+при провале FS-части SQL-строки канала остаются старорегистровыми, и старое дерево
+по-прежнему видно свиперу через строки БД — вечных orphan-каталогов не возникает):
+
+1. Найти каналы-кандидаты: имена каталогов первого уровня в `cache_dir` с не-lowercase
+   именем (кроме `-100...`) ∪ `SELECT DISTINCT channel ... WHERE channel != lower(channel)
+   AND channel NOT LIKE '-100%'`.
+2. Для каждого канала — **FS-шаг**:
+   - **ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНЫЙ guard до любых действий**: если `os.path.exists(dst)` и
+     `os.path.samefile(src, dst)` — **no-op FS-шага, перейти к SQL-шагу**. На
+     case-insensitive FS (macOS/APFS, Docker Desktop for Mac — том `./data` наследует
+     семантику хоста) `Durov/` и `durov/` — один и тот же каталог; merge без guard'а
+     удалил бы весь кеш канала.
+   - `dst` не существует → `os.rename(src, dst)`.
+   - `dst` существует и это другой каталог (case-sensitive FS, обе формы реально есть) →
+     пофайловый merge: существующий файл в `dst` выигрывает; затем удалить пустые
+     остатки `src`.
+   - FS-шаг упал (EACCES и т.п.) → log error с пометкой orphan-кандидата, **SQL-шаг
+     канала пропустить**, перейти к следующему каналу.
+3. **SQL-шаг** (только после успешного FS-шага): для каждой строки канала:
+   - lowercase-строки с тем же `(post_id, file_unique_id)` нет — просто `UPDATE` канала;
+   - есть — merge: `added = max(added)` из двух, `mime_type` — предпочесть non-NULL;
+     затем `DELETE` старорегистровой строки. Голый `UPDATE ... SET channel=lower(channel)`
+     запрещён — ловит PK-конфликт при наличии обеих форм.
+4. Ошибки миграции — log error + продолжить работу (миграция не должна уронить старт);
+   повторный запуск функции — идемпотентный no-op.
+5. **Итоговая сводка одной строкой лога** (сигнал оператору, что деплой C прошёл штатно):
+   `migration_summary: rows merged N, dirs renamed M, samefile no-ops K, failures F`.
+
+### 4.4. Задание 11 — тесты + заметка о миграции
+
+- Юнит: `'Durov'→'durov'`, `'@durov'→'durov'`, `-1001…` (int и str) → `'-1001…'`.
+- Интеграция: путь tgcache-файла одинаков для `Durov`/`durov`; `get_channel_username`
+  на фейковом chat с `username='MixedCase'` → `'mixedcase'`.
+- Миграция: (а) SQL-merge обеих форм — остаётся одна строка с `max(added)` и non-NULL
+  `mime_type`; (б) guard: вызов с `src`/`dst`, резолвящимися в один каталог (samefile), —
+  no-op, данные целы; (в) merge на двух реально разных каталогах — файлы объединены,
+  target выигрывает; (г) повторный запуск — no-op.
+- В PR: (а) остаточные старорегистровые строки/каталоги, не покрытые миграцией (например,
+  появившиеся между бэкапом и деплоем), доживают до 20-дневного вытеснения сами;
+  (б) **миграция односторонняя** — reverse-миграции нет; откат пакета C после её
+  выполнения возвращает код со старорегистровыми ключами на lowercase-данные и повторяет
+  re-download-сценарий зеркально (ограниченный, самоизлечивается за 20 дней) — это
+  ожидаемый признак отката, не авария.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Пакет D — свипер медиа-кеша
+
+### 5.1. Задание 12 — фикс чистки БД (баг)
+
+`api_server.py:820-836`: diff и удаление из SQLite выполняются только `if files_removed > 0`.
+Запись старше 20 дней **без файла на диске** выпадает из списка без инкремента счётчика
+(`api_server.py:663-687`) — и остаётся в БД навсегда, если в том же проходе не удалился
+ни один реальный файл. Исправление:
+
+```python
+# Compute the DB diff unconditionally: entries dropped from the list because the
+# file was already gone must still be purged from SQLite.
+updated_set = {...}
+removed_entries = [...]
+if removed_entries:
+    await asyncio.to_thread(remove_media_file_ids_sync, DB_PATH, removed_entries)
+    logger.info(f"cache_sweep: purged {len(removed_entries)} entries "
+                f"({files_removed} files removed from disk)")
+```
+
+### 5.2. Задание 13 — интервал свипа в конфиг
+
+Сейчас `delay = 60` (`api_server.py:811`). Добавить в `config.py` по существующему паттерну
+ключ `cache_sweep_interval` (env `CACHE_SWEEP_INTERVAL`, дефолт `900`, минимум `60`),
+использовать в `cache_media_files`.
+
+### 5.3. Задание 14 — дедуп очереди фоновых загрузок
+
+Module-level `_queued_media: set[tuple[str, int, str]]`:
+- в `download_new_files`: ключ в set'е → skip; иначе `add` + `put_nowait`
+  (при `QueueFull` — `discard` и `break` как сейчас);
+- в `background_download_worker`: в `finally` рядом с `task_done()` — `discard(key)`.
+
+Event loop однопоточный, обе точки — корутины без await между проверкой и мутацией → гонок нет.
+Тест: два подряд вызова `download_new_files` с одним списком кладут в очередь один элемент.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Пакет E — горячий путь `/media`
+
+### 6.1. Задание 15 — константа и хелпер путей
+
+`os.path.abspath("./data/cache")` + ручной `join` собираются в **семи** местах
+(`api_server.py:207, 532-536, 667, 757-766, 817, 851, 1172-1175`). Ввести на уровне модуля:
+
+```python
+MEDIA_CACHE_DIR = os.path.abspath(os.path.join("data", "cache"))  # resolved once at import
+
+def media_cache_path(channel: str, post_id: int, file_unique_id: str | None = None) -> str:
+    """Single source of truth for the on-disk layout: <root>/<channel>/<post_id>[/<fid>]."""
+```
+
+Заменить все семь мест. `remove_old_cached_files_sync`/`download_new_files` сохраняют
+параметр `cache_dir` (тестируемость), вызыватели передают константу.
+
+### 6.2. Задание 16 — in-memory кеш MIME
+
+Запись access-time уже вынесена с горячего пути в аккумулятор, а чтение MIME до сих пор
+делает threadpool-hop + новое SQLite-соединение на каждый хит (`api_server.py:389-404`).
+MIME по ключу `file_unique_id` иммутабелен.
+
+```python
+# MIME types are immutable per file_unique_id, so a process-lifetime dict in front of
+# SQLite removes a to_thread + connect from every cache-hit response.
+_mime_types: dict[tuple[str, int, str], str] = {}
+_MIME_CACHE_MAX = 50_000  # crude bound; clear-all on overflow is fine at this size
+```
+
+Порядок в `prepare_file_response`: dict → (miss) SQLite → (miss) python-magic → записать
+и в SQLite, и в dict. При успешном чтении из SQLite — заполнить dict. При переполнении —
+`clear()`. Тест: замокать `get_mime_type_sync`, два запроса подряд — второй его не вызывает.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Пакет F — довесок к новому store
+
+### 7.1. Задание 17 — джиттер TTL при записи
+
+Сейчас `random_factor` перебрасывается на каждом чтении (`tg_cache.py:98, 192`) — срок жизни
+записи недетерминирован, что усложняет рассуждения о поведении и тесты (одна и та же запись
+у границы TTL может дать разный результат в соседних чтениях; устойчивого «мигания» нет —
+первый же miss ведёт к перезаписи со свежим timestamp). В generic-store пакета A:
+- `_store_entry` дополнительно пишет `'jitter': random.uniform(0.8, 1.0)`;
+- `_load_entry` считает `adjusted_max_age = max_age_hours * 3600 * entry.get('jitter', 1.0)`
+  и не дёргает `random` при чтении.
+
+Срок жизни записи детерминирован после записи, разброс между инстансами/каналами сохраняется.
+Тест: одна и та же запись около границы TTL даёт стабильный результат при повторных чтениях.
+
+### 7.2. Задание 18 — age-sweep tgcache + добить legacy-данные
+
+1. Новая функция `sweep_tgcache(max_age_days: int = 7) -> int` в `tg_cache.py`: удаляет из
+   `CACHE_DIR` любые файлы с mtime старше порога. Живые файлы перезаписываются каждые ≤12 ч,
+   поэтому mtime > 7 суток — гарантированно мёртвый файл (умерший/переименованный канал,
+   неканоничный ключ, осиротевший uuid-tmp от упавшего писателя). Гонка с писателем
+   ВОЗМОЖНА (stat→unlink не атомарен против `os.replace`: sweep может удалить файл,
+   обновлённый между stat и unlink), но безвредна — худший исход один лишний miss-refetch;
+   гонка с читателем так же самоизлечивается как miss. Не выдавать это за инвариант
+   атомарности в комментариях кода.
+2. Вызовы: (а) один раз при старте — рядом с `cleanup_legacy_cache_files` (задание 3);
+   (б) из цикла `cache_media_files` раз в проход, **обязательно через `asyncio.to_thread`**
+   (listdir+stat+unlink — синхронный FS I/O; инвариант кодовой базы — ничего блокирующего
+   на event loop). Каталог плоский, стоимость — миллисекунды.
+3. Стартовая legacy-чистка (задание 3) остаётся: sweep покрывает legacy-файлы сам, но
+   с задержкой до 7 суток; чистка по расширениям делает это мгновенно.
+4. Расширить стартовую чистку: удалить `data/media_file_ids.json` (наследие до-SQLite
+   хранилища, кодом не читается — проверено grep). Лог — одной строкой с перечнем удалённого.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Границы (сознательно НЕ входит)
+
+- **Унификация ID↔username** (`/rss/-100…` и `/rss/durov` одного канала остаются разными
+  ключами во всех слоях): потребовала бы резолва через `get_chat` (лишний RPC, свои отказы
+  и кеш-инвалидация). Канонизация пакета C устраняет только дубли регистра/формы записи.
+- Переезд метаданных медиа с SQLite куда-либо ещё — SQLite остаётся.
+- Кеширование результатов рендеринга (processed dicts / готовый HTML фида) — отдельная
+  большая тема с инвалидацией по параметрам запроса.
+- Оптимизация `calculate_cache_stats` (полный walk на `/health`) — низкий приоритет.
+- `SimpleNamespace` → dataclass в `cached_get_chat` — косметика.
+
+## 9. Сквозные критерии приёмки
+
+1. `pytest` зелёный; `post_parser.py`/`rss_generator.py` изменены только в объёме
+   задания 9.2 (lowercase в `get_channel_username`).
+2. `grep pickle tg_cache.py` — пусто.
+3. Сценарий «RSS(limit=100) → HTML(limit=50) → RSS(100)» порождает **один** поход в Telegram
+   (сейчас — три).
+4. `/rss/Durov` и `/rss/durov` используют один tgcache-файл; `/media/Durov/...` и
+   `/media/durov/...` — один файл на диске.
+5. Повторный `/media`-хит не создаёт SQLite-соединений (ни на чтение MIME, ни на запись
+   access-time). Рецепт проверки: monkeypatch `file_io._open_db` счётчиком соединений;
+   два последовательных запроса TestClient к одному файлу — на втором счётчик не растёт.
+6. Строка SQLite с `added` старше 20 дней и отсутствующим файлом исчезает из БД за один
+   проход свипа.
+7. Кеш истории сохраняется и для каналов с опросами в выборке (снапшот JSON-сериализуем).
+8. Миграция ключей на case-insensitive FS — no-op без потери данных (samefile-guard).
+
+## 10. Риски
+
+| Риск | Закрытие / статус |
+|---|---|
+| Пропущенное поле allowlist → тихая деградация рендера | **Живой риск, не закрыт полностью.** Инвентарь снят по всем потребителям (2.3–2.4) и сверен с kurigram 2.2.23; ревью нашло и закрыло два пропуска (FormattedText в poll, omit-None семантика) — но гарантии полноты ручного инвентаря нет. Митигция: тесты 2.8, деградация проявляется как выпадение конкретного элемента рендера, не крэш; TTL 8 ч ограничивает окно |
+| Смешение живых `Message` (miss) и `CachedMessage` (hit) | Так работает и текущий pickle-кеш; живой объект — надмножество контракта |
+| Порча файла при падении посреди записи / конкурентная запись | Уникальный tmp + `os.replace` + finally-очистка (Р9) |
+| Старые pickle после деплоя | Игнорируются новыми именами + `cleanup_legacy_cache_files()` |
+| Канонизация: существующие данные со старым регистром | One-shot миграция (задание 10) с samefile-guard; остатки доживают до 20-дневного LRU |
+| Миграция на case-insensitive FS | Обязательный `os.path.samefile`-guard → no-op (критерий 9.8) |
+
+## 11. Рассмотренные альтернативы
+
+**Version-stamped pickle** (минимальный вариант): оставить pickle, дописать в конверт
+`pyrogram.__version__` + версию схемы, несовпадение считать miss'ом (~5 строк). Закрывает
+«тихий дрейф» и стоимость апгрейда библиотеки (один TTL-эквивалентный miss на канал —
+пренебрежимо при TTL 8 ч). **Отклонена решением владельца проекта** (альтернатива
+предлагалась явно на этапе аудита как «рекомендация-минимум»; выбран стратегический
+вариант) по причинам: (а) исходная цель — «проще и поддерживаемее»: JSON читаем глазами
+при отладке, pickle — нет; (б) снапшот делает зависимость рендера от полей `Message`
+явным документированным контрактом (схема 2.3) вместо размазанной по ~2000 строк;
+(в) меньший файл и дешёвый parse вместо unpickle графа объектов в threadpool.
+Цена: ручной инвентарь полей с остаточным риском пропуска (раздел 10, первый пункт).
+
+## 12. История ревью
+
+Спецификация прошла два раунда адверсарного ревью (субагент-критик с доступом к кодовой
+базе и установленному kurigram 2.2.23). Итоги:
+
+- **C1 (BLOCKER, принято)**: исходная схема не разворачивала `FormattedText` в
+  `poll.options[].text` → `json.dump` падал бы, кеш молча переставал сохраняться для
+  каналов с опросами; исходные тест-фикстуры дефект не ловили. Исправлено: 2.4.1, тест 2.8.2.
+- **C2 (MAJOR, принято с усилением)**: blanket omit-None ломал эквивалентность с живыми
+  объектами (у которых все атрибуты всегда присутствуют) и давал крэш-пути
+  (`rss_generator.py:131`, `post_parser.py:1087`). Итог: правило Р7 «полные ключи, кроме
+  forward_origin».
+- **C3 (MAJOR, принято)**: канонизация без миграции → повторные загрузки медиа после деплоя.
+  Добавлено задание 10. Встречное возражение критика к первой версии миграции
+  (**потеря кеша на case-insensitive FS**) принято: обязательный samefile-guard.
+- **C4 (MAJOR → MINOR)**: критик требовал обосновать отказ от version-stamped pickle.
+  Закрыто разделом 11; довод «холодный кеш на каждый бамп библиотеки» в обоснование
+  сознательно НЕ включён (стоимость — один miss на канал, пренебрежимо). Остаточный MINOR:
+  риск ручного инвентаря остаётся живым (раздел 10).
+- **C5–C12 (MINOR, приняты)**: уникальный tmp; docstring `canonical_channel_key`;
+  сужение проблемы #3; седьмое место сборки пути (`:817`); TTL 8–12 ч; `custom_emoji_id: str`;
+  честная мотивация джиттера; age-sweep tgcache (+`to_thread` из фонового цикла).
+- **Раунд 4 (новые векторы: атака на собственные правки критика, межпакетные
+  взаимодействия, реализуемость, рантайм-семантика, операционка): 6 MINOR, все приняты.**
+  D1 — `to_thread` + размещение миграции до `client.start()`; D2 — порядок «FS → SQL
+  per-channel», чтобы частичный отказ FS не рождал orphan-деревья, невидимые свиперу;
+  D3 — гонка sweep/писатель честно названа возможной-но-безвредной; D4 — зависимость
+  «C после A» зафиксирована в таблице (задание 9.1 опирается на `_cache_file_path` из
+  задания 2); D5 — тест 2.8.8 переписан на дискриминирующий (уникальность tmp-путей),
+  критерий 9.5 получил рецепт проверки; D6 — итоговая сводка миграции в лог + пометка
+  об односторонности миграции при откате. По направлениям «откаты A/B/F», «смешение
+  живых и восстановленных объектов», «json.dumps(CachedStr)», «deepcopy», «exclude_*»
+  критик существенных находок не нашёл (с доказательствами по коду: hit/miss атомарен
+  на весь список, `/json`-эндпоинт идёт мимо кеша истории, tz-гомогенность гарантирована Р6).

+        NO mapping entry (their own media_group_id still applies downstream);
+      - dated messages are ordered ascending by date via a timestamp key

+        timestamp diff (they diverge across a DST fold, and the old behavior is
+        the contract);
+      - the effective id of a cluster is the FIRST TRUTHY media_group_id in
+        cluster order (old code used truthiness, not `is not None`, and
+        overwrote members' own differing ids — kept);
+      - a cluster of >= 2 members with no truthy id gets a synthetic
+        f"time_{min(dates)}" id (exact old format);

+"""Stage 4 (render-pipeline refactor, issue #31 / epic #34) — pure time-clustering.
+
+`_create_time_based_media_groups` deep-copied every cached message per feed request and
+MUTATED media_group_id. It is replaced by `_compute_time_based_group_ids`, a PURE function
+returning {message.id: effective_media_group_id}; `_create_messages_groups` reads that
+mapping instead of a mutated attribute. All tests use NAIVE dates (as kurigram emits on
+prod), not aware-UTC mocks.
+
+Behavior registry items exercised here: §3.11 (None-date excluded from clustering, no
+mapping entry; own media_group_id still applies) and §3.12 (naive-safe sort keys; None-date
+groups survive [:limit] as newest and land at the tail of the feed via the 0.0 final sort).

+Regression tests for the media self-healing fix (post 'static refactor' outage):
+
+Root cause recap: Kurigram serializes downloads through a single get_file slot; a
+zombie media-DC connection makes every download time out while the main-DC watchdog
+stays green, so downloads jam forever. The fix adds (a) a negative-cache backoff so a
+repeatedly-failing file is not hammered, and (b) a consecutive-timeout streak that
+reuses the existing in-process restart to rebuild the media connection.

+"""Stage-2 footer tests (render-pipeline refactor epic, issue #29/#34).
+
+Stage 2 removed rss_generator.processed_message_to_tg_message and renders the merged
+footer DIRECTLY from the real main Message. These tests lock the registry §3 items that
+become visible as a consequence:
+
+  §3.6  custom-emoji reactions in the merged footer get a separate "❓ N" span each
+        (no more aggregation into one "❓ N"), matching single posts.
+  §3.7  the merged footer date comes from the naive-local date of the real Message,
+        not a UTC mock — verified with a NON-UTC TZ where the delta is visible (the
+        TZ=UTC golden cannot see it).
+  §3.15 an empty reactions object no longer emits a leading footer separator (single
+        posts too).
+
+Messages are built with the shared SimpleNamespace helper (naive dates where relevant,
+as kurigram emits on prod).

+merged group additionally carries 'merged'. (Every rendered post carries at least
+one flag, so the `"all"` filter drops every real post; the guard's flagless-keep
