Promotes develop to main, carrying the 3.23 work that landed on develop after the earlier promotion in #1098.

develop merges into main with no conflict. The regression run passed on develop at 105eb81. #1142 landed after it, fixing review findings raised on this pull request.

Per-file robustness

• Fail One File Instead of the Whole Run on a Per-File Exception #1108: a per-file exception fails that file rather than the whole run.
• Keep a File Whose Repair Run a Signal Ended #1112: a file whose repair run a signal ended is kept.
• Count an Orphan Sidecar Deletion as a Success #1114: an orphan sidecar deletion counts as a success.
• Skip Deleted Files, Prune Missing Entries, and Log Post-Run Write Failures #1117: deleted files are skipped, missing ignore list entries are pruned, and post-run write failures are logged.
• Harden Ignore List Pruning and Retry a Failed Settings Write #1123: ignore list pruning is hardened, and a failed settings write is retried.

Repair and conversion

• Replace the Original Only After ReEncode and DeInterlace Fully Succeed #1110: the original is replaced only after ReEncode and DeInterlace fully succeed.
• Set Verified Only When a Verification Ran #1111: Verified is set only when a verification ran.
• Re-Run the Full Cleanup After a Step Modifies the File #1113: the full cleanup re-runs after a step modifies the file.
• Invert the Tool Change Check in IsMediaAndToolsCurrent #1115: the tool change check in IsMediaAndToolsCurrent is inverted to the correct sense.
• Skip Repeat Conversions and Keep Bitrate State Current #1125: repeat conversions are skipped, and bitrate state stays current.
• Report Unrepaired Metadata and Stop Repeating Cleanup Edits #1128: unrepaired metadata is reported, and cleanup edits are not repeated.
• Split Track State into a Disposition and Combinable Actions #1132: track state splits into a disposition and combinable actions.
• Verify Media Again After a ReEncode or DeInterlace Rewrite #1142: a re-encode or deinterlace clears the verify state of the media it replaced, so the new file is verified again. A rename onto a stale sidecar no longer restores verify flags.

Renames

• Fail a Rename Onto an Existing File and Undo a Partial Rename #1119: a rename onto an existing file fails, and a partial rename is undone.
• Keep the Seeded State When a Renamed File Has a Sidecar #1121: the seeded state is kept when a renamed file has a sidecar.

Tools

• Enforce a Minimum Version for Every Media Tool Family #1118: every media tool family has a minimum version.

Tests and regression tooling

• Move Test Fixtures onto Shared FakeTools Helpers #1126: test fixtures move onto shared FakeTools helpers.
• Share One Log Capture Helper Across Test Classes #1133: one log capture helper is shared across test classes.
• Filter find_run on Corpus So a Reduced Run Is Not Read as Full-Corpus Ground Truth #1135: find_run filters on corpus, so a reduced run is not read as full-corpus ground truth.
• Stage a Writable Settings Copy per Clip in reduce_corpus.py #1137: reduce_corpus.py stages a writable settings copy per clip.

Docs

• Add Codecov Coverage Badge to README Build Status #1122: a Codecov coverage badge in the README build status.
• Trim the 3.23 Release Entry to One Line per User-Visible Change #1130: the 3.23 release entry holds one line per user-visible change.
• Redraw Fixed Branches and Split Wide Charts in ARCHITECTURE.md #1131: fixed branches are redrawn and wide charts split in ARCHITECTURE.md.

Findings

Keep the flag-repair latch from suppressing new flag errors on other tracks.
Invalidate scan flags when a same-size media edit goes undetected.
Record the FFmpeg version in the sidecar so tool-change invalidation covers the idet scan.
Stop re-encoding from deleting an existing name.tmp4 file.

Review comments at @PlexCleaner/Convert.cs:
- Line 33: Update the temporary-output handling in ConvertToMkv before calling
ReMux so an existing .tmp4 file is never overwritten or deleted; use a unique
temporary path or stop safely when the fixed path is occupied, and preserve the
existing file.

Review comments at @PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs:
- Around line 317-320: Update the `_trackFlagsDoNotStick` repair latch so it
cannot suppress flag edits for newly affected tracks; track the latch per track
and flag, or reset it when the set of flagged tracks changes. Preserve the
existing `SetFlags` state and metadata-error checks while ensuring new flag
errors still reach the edit path when `SetTrackFlags` is enabled.

Review comments at @PlexCleaner/SidecarFile.cs:
- Around line 34-35: Update the media-currentness flow involving IsMediaCurrent
so a same-size edit cannot retain stale ScannedInterlace or ScannedCaptions
flags. Ensure content changes are detected before reusing those flags, either by
strengthening ComputeHash beyond first-and-last-block sampling or by
invalidating the scan flags when the existing check cannot confirm unchanged
content.
- Around line 157-158: Update SidecarFile’s sidecar serialization to store the
FFmpeg version, and update IsToolsCurrent to compare it so an FFmpeg-only
version change invalidates ScannedInterlace.

Walkthrough

The changes update media processing, repair, sidecar state, tool-version checks, and run-level error handling. They also update regression corpus utilities and document the Version 3.23 behavior and installation requirements.

Changes: Media processing and tool behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Track actions and metadata cleanup PlexCleaner/TrackProps.cs, PlexCleaner/SelectMediaProps.cs, PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs, PlexCleaner/FfMpegTool.cs, PlexCleaner/VideoProps.cs, PlexCleanerTests/CleanupStepRepeatTests.cs, PlexCleanerTests/TrackActionsTests.cs, ARCHITECTURE.md	Tracks now store combinable repair actions separately from track state. Metadata repair reports remaining issues when options are disabled, checks whether flag edits persisted, and updates cover-art removal paths and checks.
Sidecar scan and completion state PlexCleaner/SidecarFile.cs, PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs, PlexCleanerTests/ScanStateTests.cs, PlexCleanerTests/SidecarRenameStateTests.cs, PlexCleanerTests/ToolChangeSenseTests.cs, ARCHITECTURE.md	Sidecars add caption and interlace scan flags. Clean scans record those flags, configured tool changes clear them with Verified, and Open preserves caller-seeded state when it loads an existing sidecar.
Conversion and collision-safe replacement PlexCleaner/Convert.cs, PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs, PlexCleanerTests/RenameCollisionTests.cs, PlexCleanerTests/ReplaceOriginalTests.cs, ARCHITECTURE.md	Remux, re-encode, deinterlace, and rename flows check for conflicting targets. Conversion and language restoration complete on temporary output before replacing the input; failed moves or metadata steps preserve or report the applicable file state.
Verification, repair, and bitrate state PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs, PlexCleaner/MediaTool.cs, PlexCleaner/FfMpegTool.cs, PlexCleaner/FfProbeTool.cs, PlexCleanerTests/ReEncodeBitrateStateTests.cs, PlexCleanerTests/VerifyToolErrorTests.cs, HISTORY.md, ARCHITECTURE.md	Verification distinguishes bitrate tool errors from other analysis failures. Repair updates bitrate state after re-encoding, and tool signal exits are recorded as errors. Timestamp repair stops on cancellation or tool errors and can continue through the repair ladder for other packet-analysis failures.
Per-file processing and run-level write handling PlexCleaner/Process.cs, PlexCleaner/ProcessDriver.cs, PlexCleaner/Program.cs, PlexCleaner/Monitor.cs, PlexCleanerTests/PerFileExceptionTests.cs, PlexCleanerTests/PostRunWriteTests.cs, PlexCleanerTests/MonitorWriteFailureTests.cs, PlexCleanerTests/OrphanSidecarTests.cs, PlexCleanerTests/DeleteFailedFileTests.cs, HISTORY.md, ARCHITECTURE.md	Uncancelled per-file exceptions fail the affected file without ending processing of later files. Settings and results write failures are reported to the process command, while monitor processing continues after a write failure. Deleted files are excluded from invalid-file registration, and orphan-sidecar deletion is treated as successful cleanup.
Media-tool version gates PlexCleaner/MediaTool.cs, PlexCleaner/Tools.cs, PlexCleaner/FfMpegTool.cs, PlexCleaner/HandBrakeTool.cs, PlexCleaner/MediaInfoTool.cs, PlexCleaner/MkvMergeTool.cs, PlexCleaner/SevenZipTool.cs, PlexCleanerTests/MinimumVersionTests.cs, Docker/Dockerfile, README.md, HISTORY.md	Tool startup checks now use family-specific minimum releases and dates. Checks compare release identifiers and recognized build dates; unknown versions are accepted with a warning, while unsupported versions produce an error. Docker packages and installation guidance reflect the tool-version requirements.

Regression corpus utilities

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Corpus selection and staged settings RegressionTests/corpus_common.py, RegressionTests/audit_physical.py, RegressionTests/catalog_corpus.py, RegressionTests/reduce_corpus.py, RegressionTests/tests/*	Run lookup filters by channel and corpus, with missing corpus metadata treated as full. Reduced-corpus processing copies settings into a writable per-workdir directory and mounts that copy into the container.

Coverage badge

Layer / File(s)	Summary
README coverage badge README.md	The Build Status block adds a Coverage badge and its Codecov project link.

• Issue 1139 — The changes add separate deletion-error handling and log deletion failures, but do not establish consistent logging for every delete and keep outcome.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 105eb

Resolve the temporary-file collision before merging: re-encoding can delete an unrelated neighboring file. Conversion cleanup can also report success while leaving the original behind, and narrow repair and scan-state gaps remain.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Scope: all linked issues are open and directly linked. Documentation-only requirements (#1105 HISTORY trim, #1106 README badge, #1107 diagram split) are treated as non-coding and are not part of this verdict. Evidence: the whole-PR diff of PlexCleaner/MediaTool.cs (merge base 4011f73 to head 105eb81), the file-level change summary, and the test names listed in the change summary. Tests were not run.

Verified in the MediaTool.cs diff:

• [#1104] GetMinimum() sets a minimum for FfMpeg (8.0), HandBrake (1.10.0), MediaInfo (25.7), MkvToolNix (94.0), and SevenZip (25.1). CheckVersion() handles release versions, prefixed builds, HandBrake branch builds, and dated builds. An unparsable version returns Unknown and is logged as a warning, not passed silently. MinimumVersionTests covers each family. The Docker and Windows download checks and the release-history confirmation are not established by code.

By change summary and test names:

• [#1069, #1070, #1080, #1081, #1116, #1120] Per-file exception catch in ProcessDriver and ProcessFile; orphan sidecar treated as success; deleted files skipped in ignore-list registration; pruning limited to missing files with an existing parent folder; write failures reported through writeFailed and exit code 1; settings write retried; sidecar deletion failure separated from media deletion (PerFileExceptionTests, OrphanSidecarTests, PostRunWriteTests, MonitorWriteFailureTests, DeleteFailedFileTests).
• [#1071, #1076, #1078, #1079] Verified set only when verification runs; ReEncode and DeInterlace skip repeat work on conditional calls; bitrate state updated and bitrate tool errors handled; IsMediaAndToolsCurrent honors SidecarUpdateOnToolChange (ReEncodeBitrateStateTests, ToolChangeSenseTests, VerifyToolErrorTests).
• [#1072, #1073, #1082, #1109] Original replaced only after conversion and language restore succeed; rename onto another file refused; rename rollback after a failed second move; seeded state kept when a sidecar exists (ReplaceOriginalTests, RenameCollisionTests, SidecarRenameStateTests).
• [#1074, #1075, #1077, #1127] Unrepaired metadata reported; cleanup steps rerun after modification; cover art removal covers MediaInfo; track Actions split from State so multiple repairs per track are reported (CleanupStepRepeatTests, TrackActionsTests). The FfProbe cover-art re-check is established only by the change summary wording.
• [#1095] A signal-ended repair run is recorded and the file is kept. VerifyToolErrorTests.VerifyAndRepair_RepairSignalExit_KeepsStateAndFiles asserts this outcome. The pull request does not name which of the three listed options it chose.
• [#1124, #1129] Shared FakeTools and LogCapture helpers added and used by the listed test classes.
• [#1134, #1136] find_run takes a corpus argument defaulting to full; reduce_corpus.py stages a writable per-clip settings copy (test_corpus_common.py, test_reduce_corpus.py).

Not established: the #1120 Monitor stat-latency observation has no stated expected outcome, so it is not treated as a requirement.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Each changed area maps to a linked issue or to its test or documentation support:

• Process, ProcessFile, ProcessDriver, Program, Monitor, SidecarFile, Convert, Tools, MediaTool and the tool wrappers: implement #1069–Keep the State Set Before a Rename When the New Name Has a Sidecar #1082, #1095, #1104, #1109, #1116, #1120, #1127.
• FfMpegTool CreateTrackArgs: selects encoding by the ReEncode action. This follows the track action split required by #1127. The pull request description names #1132 for this split. #1132 is not in the linked issue list, but it matches the #1127 requirement to keep repair needs apart from flag state.
• FfMpegTool GetVersion development-build fallback and the GetVersion assert changes in HandBrake, MediaInfo, MkvMerge and SevenZip: support the #1104 version gate.
• Dockerfile: 7zip package and comment path changes support the #1104 Docker minimum check. The comment-only path change is tangential and does not alter behavior.
• SelectMediaProps.SetActions, TrackProps, VideoProps: implement the #1127 action split.
• ARCHITECTURE.md, HISTORY.md, README.md: documentation for #1105, #1106, #1107, #1104 and release notes.
• Test files: cover the linked issue behavior, and the shared helpers implement #1124 and #1129.
• RegressionTests Python scripts: implement #1134 and #1136.

No change was found that lacks a connection to a linked issue. The change summary reports that ARCHITECTURE.md removes its suspect-branch list. #1107 asks to keep the S-number references unchanged. This is a documentation point for reviewer attention and does not establish an unrelated change.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 13.10% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 84 functions across 44 files. (4 skipped: 4 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Extract a reusable cleanup pipeline

• ➕ Would keep the initial and post-rewrite cleanup sequences aligned as steps evolve.
• ➖ Would broaden the release change and complicate step-specific failure reporting and conditional execution.

Recommendation: Promote the targeted fixes with their regression tests for 3.23. Consider extracting the duplicated cleanup sequence separately after release; combining that refactor with these safety fixes would increase review and regression risk.

1. Old reduced runs are treated as full 📎 Requirement gap ≡ Correctness

Description

find_run treats a missing Corpus field as full without checking whether the run directory ends
in -reduced. When an older reduced run has no Corpus field, default selection can pass its data
to audit_physical.py and catalog_corpus.py as full-corpus ground truth.

Code

RegressionTests/corpus_common.py[R372-373]

+            info = json.loads(bi.read_text())
+            if info.get("Channel") != channel or info.get("Corpus", "full") != corpus:

Evidence

The filter in RegressionTests/corpus_common.py[372-373] defaults a missing Corpus field to
full and does not inspect the run directory name, even though reduced run directories can have a
-reduced suffix. The cited tests cover runs with Corpus set but not a legacy -reduced run
whose buildinfo lacks the field.

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`find_run` treats legacy reduced runs without a `Corpus` field as full-corpus runs, allowing default audits and catalogs to use reduced data as full-corpus ground truth.
## Fix Focus Areas
- RegressionTests/corpus_common.py[372-373]
- RegressionTests/tests/test_corpus_common.py[118-152]
## Recommended Fix
When `Corpus` is absent from `buildinfo.json`, classify the run as `reduced` if its directory name ends in `-reduced`, and as `full` otherwise. Preserve explicit `Corpus` values and compare the resulting classification with the requested corpus. Add a test with a `-reduced` directory whose buildinfo lacks `Corpus`, and verify that `find_run(None)` skips it.

2. Newly selected audio tracks stay unchanged 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness

Description

ReEncode returns success whenever the sidecar has ReEncoded, even after FindNeedReEncode
selects tracks under the current settings. If a user adds an existing audio format to
ReEncodeAudioFormats after an earlier conversion, normal processing skips the newly required
conversion because the historical flag is file-wide.

Code

PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs[R1843-1845]

+            // The encoder output can still match the selection, so only an explicit reencode repeats it
+            if (conditional)
+            {

Evidence

The normal processing path calls ReEncode conditionally; its selection uses current configuration,
but the new branch skips every nonempty selection if an earlier conversion set the file-wide flag.

## Recommended Fix
Persist enough information about the prior conversion selection or settings to distinguish a repeat of the same conversion from a newly selected track. Skip only the former, and add a test that changes audio-format selection between runs.

3. Cover-art cleanup discards unrelated tags 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness

Description

RemoveCoverArtMediaInfo calls Convert.ReMux for MediaInfo-only cover art, and that remux uses
defaults that omit global and track tags. When RemoveTags is disabled, a file entering this new
fallback still loses those tags while cover-art removal is attempted.

Code

PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs[R1112-1114]

+        // MkvMerge drops attachments by default, the FfMpeg remux fallback would keep them
+        Log.Information("Removing Cover Art from media file : {FileName}", FileInfo.FullName);
+        if (!Convert.ReMux(FileInfo.FullName))

Evidence

The fallback invokes the general remux path, whose MkvMerge default options remove both categories
of tags; RemoveTags is a separate configurable option.

4. Re-encoded files can keep a stale bitrate flag ✓ Resolved

Description

SetRepairedState measures the bitrate again only after a repair re-encode. The main
ReEncode/DeInterlace steps set ReEncoded/DeInterlaced but do not clear Verified, so
VerifyAndRepair → Verify(true) returns early and VerifyBitrate never runs on the new media. A
file verified on an earlier run that is re-encoded on a later run (for example after a
ReEncodeVideo entry is added) keeps the BitrateExceeded flag of the original media, which is the
stale-flag case ticket #1078 asks to fix.

Code

PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs[R2189-2193]

+        // A re-encode changes the bitrate, measure the refreshed media again
+        if (reEncoded)
+        {
+            _bitrateToolError = !VerifyBitrate();
+        }

Evidence

The bitrate is measured again only in SetRepairedState, behind reEncoded from RepairAndReVerify.
ReEncode only adds the ReEncoded/ReMuxed flags and refreshes the media. Verify returns right away
when Verified is set, so VerifyBitrate, the only code that sets or clears BitrateExceeded, is
skipped for files verified on an earlier run.

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
Only the repair re-encode path measures the bitrate again. ReEncode and DeInterlace change the media but leave Verified set, so Verify skips VerifyBitrate and BitrateExceeded keeps describing the old media.

- PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs[1879-1887]
- PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs[1637-1645]
- PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs[2176-2199]
## Recommended Fix
After a successful ReEncode or DeInterlace refresh, call `VerifyBitrate()` and save the state, using the same pattern as `SetRepairedState`. Alternatively, clear the `Verified` flag when the media is rewritten so the later VerifyAndRepair step verifies and measures the new file.

5. A repaired file can be left marked unverified ✓ Resolved

Description

SetRepairedState sets Repaired and then clears Verified when _bitrateToolError is true. The
next run's VerifyAndRepair treats that file as unverified and asserts !Repaired (and
RepairAndReVerify asserts the same). If the next verify fails, the assertion fires in debug builds
and tests, and release builds run the repair ladder again on a file already marked repaired.

Code

PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs[R2194-2197]

+        if (_bitrateToolError)
+        {
+            _sidecarFile.State &= ~SidecarFile.StatesType.Verified;
+        }

Evidence

Before this change a successful repair always set Verified together with Repaired, and failure paths
clear Repaired, so the code could assume Repaired means Verified. The new branch keeps Repaired
while clearing Verified, which breaks the Debug.Assert checks before the repair attempts.

PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs[2176-2199]

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
After a bitrate tool error, SetRepairedState leaves the state as Repaired without Verified. The VerifyAndRepair/RepairAndReVerify assertions treat that combination as impossible.

- PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs[2130-2133]
- PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs[2342-2348]
## Recommended Fix
Either clear `Repaired` together with `Verified` when `_bitrateToolError` is true, or update the assertions and repair entry so a Repaired-but-unverified file is handled on purpose, for example by re-verifying without asserting.

Report a failed input delete as a failed conversion.

When File.Delete(inputName) fails, ReplaceInput logs an error and returns normally. The callers then return success, mark the file as ReMuxed, and register the new output. The original input stays on disk. Later runs fail on that input with "Target file already exists". Return the delete failure to the caller, or track the leftover input as unfinished.

Assert the language arguments that SetTrackLanguage sends to MkvPropEdit.

The conversion test checks only that the MkvPropEdit log contains name.tmp1. ConvertToMkv restores track languages through SetTrackLanguage before it replaces the input. The fake editor records its arguments but does not check them, and it exits with the configured code. A wrong language value in this step therefore passes the test.

Extend the assertion in the mkvMergeExit == 0 branch so that it checks the logged language edits for the tracks in the fixture.

invalidating the scan flags when the existing check cannot confirm unchanged
content.
- Around line 157-158: Update SidecarFile’s sidecar serialization to store the
FFmpeg version, and update IsToolsCurrent to compare it so an FFmpeg-only
version change invalidates ScannedInterlace.

Minor comments:
Review comments at @PlexCleaner/Convert.cs:
- Around line 240-248: Update ReplaceInput so a File.Delete(inputName) failure
is propagated to its callers instead of being swallowed; ensure callers do not
report conversion success, mark the file ReMuxed, or register the output when
the input remains. Alternatively, track the leftover input as unfinished.

Nitpick comments:
Review comments at @PlexCleanerTests/CleanupStepRepeatTests.cs:
- Around line 369-373: Update RewriteDropsFlagsInRun_SetsThemInCleanupReRun to
exercise the cleanup re-run through Process.ProcessFile instead of calling
RepairMetadataErrors directly. Assert that the re-run restores the expected
flags, so removing the modified-triggered re-run in Process.ProcessFile would
fail the test.

Review comments at @PlexCleanerTests/MinimumVersionTests.cs:
- Around line 44-52: Extend the minimum-version tests beyond
MediaTool.IsSupportedVersion: expose VerifyToolVersions to the test project and
add an assertion that it returns false when a tool’s version is below its
minimum. Use Tools.VerifyTools or VerifyToolVersions to exercise the startup
verification path.

Review comments at @PlexCleanerTests/ReplaceOriginalTests.cs:
- Around line 120-122: Update the success branch in the DeInterlace test to
assert that the deInterlaced return value is true, so the test fails if the file
is replaced but the operation reports failure. Set up the required tool fakes
with FakeTools.WriteSampleToolData before invoking DeInterlace.
- Line 86: Extend the successful `mkvMergeExit == 0` branch in the conversion
test to assert that the MkvPropEdit log records the expected language edits for
the fixture’s tracks, not just `name.tmp1`. Verify the arguments sent by
`SetTrackLanguage` so an incorrect language value causes the test to fail.

Review comments at @RegressionTests/tests/test_corpus_common.py:
- Around line 130-135: Add a non-develop channel fixture to the tests for
find_run, giving it a newer log than the develop fixture, and assert that
find_run still selects the develop run. Keep the existing corpus-specific
assertions unchanged.

Review comments at @RegressionTests/tests/test_reduce_corpus.py:
- Around line 50-55: Add a focused test for `process_clip` that verifies its
Docker arguments mount the staged configuration at `/config` with the expected
volume mode and pass the expected path through `--settingsfile`. Keep
`test_stage_settings_copies_writable` focused on staging behavior.

CodeRabbit review on 105eb81, nitpick comments (6):

1. PlexCleanerTests/MinimumVersionTests.cs:44-52, "Add a test that startup rejects a tool below its minimum version". Deferred to Close the Test Coverage Gaps Raised on the 3.23 Promotion #1144.
2. RegressionTests/tests/test_corpus_common.py:130-135, "Add a non-develop channel fixture to the find_run tests". Deferred to Close the Test Coverage Gaps Raised on the 3.23 Promotion #1144.
3. RegressionTests/tests/test_reduce_corpus.py:50-55, "Add a test for the process_clip Docker arguments". Deferred to Close the Test Coverage Gaps Raised on the 3.23 Promotion #1144.
4. PlexCleanerTests/CleanupStepRepeatTests.cs:369-373, "Add a Process-level test for the cleanup re-run that restores flags". Deferred to Close the Test Coverage Gaps Raised on the 3.23 Promotion #1144.
5. PlexCleanerTests/ReplaceOriginalTests.cs:120-122, "Assert the DeInterlace() return value in the success case". Fixed in dbb2502 (Verify Media Again After a ReEncode or DeInterlace Rewrite #1142), which also asserts the persisted sidecar state.
6. PlexCleanerTests/ReplaceOriginalTests.cs:86, "Assert the language arguments that SetTrackLanguage sends to MkvPropEdit". Deferred to Close the Test Coverage Gaps Raised on the 3.23 Promotion #1144.

Qodo comment-only findings (5), each with a thread answered above:

1. "Old reduced runs are treated as full" at RegressionTests/corpus_common.py:373. Disproven: d99097b (Add Regression Test Suite and Reduced-Corpus Tooling #855) writes Corpus in the same commit that introduced -reduced runs.
2. "Newly selected audio tracks stay unchanged" at PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs:1845. No change needed: the maintainer decided the skip on Guard ReEncode and DeInterlace Against Repeating on Every Run #1076.
3. "Cover-art cleanup discards unrelated tags" at PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs:1114. Deferred to Decide Whether a Remux Keeps Tags When RemoveTags Is Off #1141 by maintainer decision.
4. "Re-encoded files can keep a stale bitrate flag" at PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs:2193. Fixed in dbb2502 (Verify Media Again After a ReEncode or DeInterlace Rewrite #1142).
5. "A repaired file can be left marked unverified" at PlexCleaner/ProcessFile.cs:2197. Fixed in dbb2502 (Verify Media Again After a ReEncode or DeInterlace Rewrite #1142).

[Copilot]

🔵 Needs a closer look

The promotion spans media state and replacement behavior, external tool version floors, Docker dependencies, and regression harness changes that require end-to-end validation across real tools, architectures, and native Windows paths.

No open issues 🎉

3 resolved since last review

• Clear stale verification flags when media changes
• Remove the non-exhaustive switch discard arm
• Infer legacy reduced runs from the directory suffix

Answering the Copilot round on dbb2502, verdict needs a closer look with no counted finding. Its headline: "The promotion spans media state and replacement behavior, external tool version floors, Docker dependencies, and regression harness changes that require end-to-end validation across real tools, architectures, and native Windows paths."

• Real tools, end to end: the regression run against the real tools in the Docker image passed on develop at 105eb81. Verify Media Again After a ReEncode or DeInterlace Rewrite #1142 landed after that run, and its unit tests cover the changed state handling. A regression run on dbb2502 is not done.
• Docker dependencies: the smoke build job built the Docker image on this head and passed.
• Architectures and native Windows paths: not exercised in this loop. No check here runs on Windows or on arm64 natively.

Awaiting maintainer: whether the regression run at 105eb81 plus the checks on this head is enough validation to merge, or whether a regression rerun on dbb2502 or a native Windows run comes first.
