# AGENTS.md > AI coding agent guidelines for NNTmux - a Laravel 13 Usenet indexer. ## Quick Reference ```bash php artisan test --compact --filter=TestName # Run single test (PHPUnit only) ./vendor/bin/pint --dirty # Format changed files php artisan tmux:start # Start processing engine npm run build # Required after frontend changes php artisan route:cache # Refresh cached routes if new routes seem missing ``` ## Architecture NNTmux scans Usenet servers, collects headers, organizes releases, and enriches with metadata. Data flow: ``` NNTP → NNTPService → BinariesRunner → ReleaseCreationService → ReleaseProcessingService → SearchService → API/Web ``` ### Key Patterns | Pattern | Location | Example | |---------|----------|---------| | **Service Layer** | `app/Services/` | 50+ services with facades (`Search::`, `Categorization::`, `TvProcessing::`, `Yenc::`, `Elasticsearch::`) | | **Pipeline** | `*/Pipes/` | `TvProcessingPipeline` (TMDB→TVDB→TVMaze→Trakt), `CategorizationPipeline` (priority-driven; `Music` runs before `Book` for audiobook detection) | | **Driver** | `Search/Drivers/` | Manticore/Elasticsearch via `SEARCH_DRIVER` env var | | **Runners** | `Runners/` | `BinariesRunner`, `ReleasesRunner`, `BackfillRunner`, `PostProcessRunner` | | **DTO** | `*/DTO/`, `app/Support/DTOs/` | `NameFixResult`, `ReleaseProcessingContext`, `ReleaseCreationResult` | | **Enum** | `app/Enums/` | `UserRole`, `QueueType`, `FileCompletionStatus` | | **Observer** | `app/Observers/`, `AppServiceProvider` | `ReleaseObserver`, `MovieInfoObserver`, `RolePromotionObserver` | | **View Composer** | `app/View/Composers/`, `AppServiceProvider` | `GlobalDataComposer` shared across `layouts.*` and `admin.*` | ## Tmux Processing Engine Multi-pane terminal orchestrator at `app/Services/Tmux/`. Components: `TmuxSessionManager`, `TmuxLayoutBuilder`, `TmuxPaneManager`, `TmuxTaskRunner`, `TmuxMonitorService`. **Sequential Modes** (`Settings::settingValue('sequential')`): - Mode 0: Full (3 windows, parallel panes) - Mode 1: Basic (reduced) - Mode 2: Stripped (minimal) **Commands**: `tmux:start`, `tmux:stop`, `tmux:attach`, `tmux:monitor`, `tmux:health-check` **Config**: `config/tmux.php` + database `settings` table ## Testing PHPUnit only (no Pest). Create tests: `php artisan make:test --phpunit {name}` - In-memory SQLite (`DB_CONNECTION=testing`) - App boot can hit `Settings::settingValue()` via `CategorizationPipeline` (`app/Providers/CategorizationServiceProvider.php` → `app/Services/Categorization/CategorizationPipeline.php`), even in focused controller tests - For isolated tests that bypass the normal app test DB setup, seed a minimal `settings` table before app bootstrap; `categorizeforeign` and `catwebdl` are the minimum keys needed for this path, and `tests/Feature/AdminContentControllerTest.php` shows the file-backed SQLite workaround when `php artisan test` would otherwise fail during startup - Feature tests that render shared layouts or admin pages may need to clear `App\View\Composers\GlobalDataComposer::$resolvedData`; see `resetGlobalComposerState()` helpers in `tests/Feature/AdminContentControllerTest.php`, `AdminGroupControllerTest.php`, and `NzbAndRssAccessTest.php` - All HTTP mocked - no real API calls - Suites: `Install`, `Unit`, `Feature` (also `tests/Integration/` for live API tests, not in CI) - Use model factories; check for custom states first - Mocks in `tests/Fixtures/`, `tests/mock_data/` - Test harnesses in `tests/Support/` (e.g., `DatabaseTestCase`, `TestBinariesHarness`) - PHPUnit 12 — use `#[Test]` attributes or `test` prefix naming ## Project Conventions ### Models (`app/Models/`) - Casts in `casts()` method, not `$casts` property - Foreign keys: `{table}_id` (e.g., `groups_id`) - Key: `Release`, `Video`, `TvEpisode`, `MovieInfo`, `UsenetGroup` ### API (`app/Http/Controllers/Api/`) - v1: XML (newznab compat) - `ApiController.php` - v2: JSON REST - `ApiV2Controller.php` - RSS feeds are separate from `/api`: edit `routes/rss.php` + `App\Http\Controllers\RssController`; `/rss/*` is mounted from `bootstrap/app.php` and `RssController::userCheck()` validates `api_token` ### Config - App configs: `config/nntmux*.php`, `config/tmux.php`, `config/search.php` - Never `env()` outside config - use `config('key')` - Runtime settings: `Settings::settingValue()` - Laravel 13 route/middleware wiring lives in `bootstrap/app.php`; use that file when adding route groups, aliases, or middleware (for example the `/rss` mount) - In Docker/Sail, `Makefile` exports `.env` `SEARCH_DRIVER` as `COMPOSE_PROFILES`, so only the matching Manticore/Elasticsearch service starts ### Manticore `releases_rt` signed columns - In Manticore, `integer` is **unsigned 32-bit**; negative DB values (e.g. `passwordstatus = -1`, `haspreview = -1`) are stored as large positives (e.g. `4294967295`), so `passwordstatus <= 1` filters never match. The `releases_rt` schema uses **`bigint`** for `passwordstatus` and `haspreview` so values stay signed. - Changing column types requires dropping and recreating the RT table(s); Manticore cannot `ALTER` attribute types in place. **`php artisan manticore:create-indexes --drop`** drops and recreates **every** index defined in [`app/Console/Commands/CreateManticoreIndexes.php`](app/Console/Commands/CreateManticoreIndexes.php) (releases, predb, movies, tvshows, secondaries, etc.) as empty shells. Then repopulate what you use, e.g. **`php artisan nntmux:populate --manticore --all`** or at minimum **`--releases`** (and other index flags as needed). Prefer a maintenance window: run **`php artisan tmux:stop`** (and pause queue workers that touch search) during drop/repopulate, then **`php artisan tmux:start`**. Optionally enable MySQL search fallback via `nntmux.mysql_search_fallback` while indexes are empty. ### Commands - 80+ auto-registered in `app/Console/Commands/` - Create with `php artisan make:` + `--no-interaction` - Docker/Sail convenience targets live in `Makefile`; prefer `make artisan cmd="..."`, `make test filter=TestName`, `make pint`, and `make npm-build` when working inside containers - This workspace may have cached routes under `bootstrap/cache/routes-*.php`; after adding/changing routes, refresh with `php artisan route:cache` if a route appears missing ### Admin Content - Admin content ordering is scoped by `contenttype`, not global: Homepage rows only reorder Homepage rows, Useful Links only reorder Useful Links - The admin list at `resources/views/admin/content/index.blade.php` renders one draggable table per content group and uses Alpine component `contentToggle` - `resources/js/alpine/components/content-toggle.js` is the integration point for admin content interactions: grouped drag ordering, enable/disable toggles, and delete confirmations all live there - Reorder requests go to `AdminContentController::reorder()` and must include the exact ID set for one `contenttype`; mixed-type or partial payloads are rejected - The ordinal field is intentionally hidden on `resources/views/admin/content/add.blade.php`; the server assigns new items to the bottom of their own group in `AdminContentController::nextBottomOrdinal()` - Deleting content does not renumber remaining items; gaps in per-group ordinals are expected ## Code Formatting & Quality **After every code change, run all of the following before considering a task done:** ### 1. Apply style fixes to changed PHP files ```bash ./vendor/bin/pint --dirty # Format only changed files ``` > If Pint changes files, keep those changes and rerun Pint until it reports clean output. ### 2. Check for static analysis errors ```bash ./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --memory-limit=2G # Run PHPStan static analysis ``` ### 3. Check for syntax / lint errors ```bash find app -name "*.php" | xargs php -l # PHP syntax lint on all changed files ``` > **These steps are mandatory.** Run them before considering any task done. Do not wait for the pre-commit hook to catch formatting or type errors. If PHPStan reports new errors introduced by your changes, fix them before finishing. If you add a PHPStan baseline entry, document why. ## Pre-commit (CaptainHook) Auto-runs: PHP lint, Composer lock validation, Pint formatting. Commit limits: 200 char subject, 72 char body. ## Key Directories | Path | Purpose | |------|---------| | `app/Services/TvProcessing/` | TV metadata pipeline | | `app/Services/Search/` | Manticore/ES abstraction | | `app/Services/NameFixing/` | Release name correction (see README.md there) | | `app/Services/Tmux/` | Tmux orchestration | | `app/Facades/` | Static service accessors | ## External APIs Requires `.env` keys: TMDB, TVDB, TVMaze, Trakt, OMDB (TV/Movies); IGDB, GiantBomb, Steam (Games); AniList, AniDB (Anime); NNTP credentials. ## Frontend Blade + TailwindCSS v4 + Vite bundling. Run `npm run build` after changes. - **Livewire 3**: Used only in the forum package - **Alpine.js**: CSP-safe build with component architecture in `resources/js/alpine/` - Core components loaded eagerly in `alpine/index.js` - Page-specific components lazy-loaded via `alpine/lazy-loader.js` - Lazy-loaded pages must declare an `x-data` name that matches a key in `alpine/lazy-loader.js`, or the component JS will never load; example: `resources/views/admin/content/index.blade.php` uses `x-data="contentToggle"` so delete/toggle handlers from `resources/js/alpine/components/content-toggle.js` are available - Stores in `alpine/stores/`, components in `alpine/components/` - **CSS**: Main entry is `resources/css/app.css` (imports `csp-safe.css` for component styles) - **Vite entry points**: `resources/js/app.js`, `resources/css/app.css`, `resources/forum/blade-tailwind/js/forum.js`, `resources/forum/blade-tailwind/css/forum.css` This structure ensures Content Security Policy (CSP) compliance by using Alpine.js CSP-safe build and keeping scripts and styles in external files.
