The reader polled /api/state every 15 s; each call rebuilt the scraper's library
summary when it was over 60 s old, reading every chapter.json (on the NAS about
5,300 opens / 16,000 NFS calls and 1.3 s CPU per walk, once a minute, plus 115 KB
per poll). The reader now polls GET /api/revision (falls back to /api/state on an
older scraper), and the summary is rebuilt after a library change or after 15
minutes. Release-date writes invalidate it too.

Both are unofficial sites that mostly host unlicensed copies; MangaDex (official
API) stays on. Settings → Admin → Scraper → Hoster settings has a 'Use <source>'
switch. A switched-off source refuses new jobs, keeps queued jobs waiting and is
skipped by nightly update checks. Installations whose queue or history already
used a source keep it switched on, so upgrades don't stop a working queue.

- scraper/metadata/release-dates.js fills x-dates.release from MangaUpdates
publisher releases. MangaUpdates also lists English back-catalog re-releases,
so a date is kept only inside the AniList original run, when no scanlation or
source upload is more than 4 days earlier, and when it fits the release order
(no lower chapter dated after a higher one). Seasons that restart chapter
numbers are skipped; dates this job wrote and no longer accepts are withdrawn.
- The scraper refreshes ongoing series nightly before its update checks, only
while no download runs, and bumps the publish revision so the reader reconciles.
- tools/release-dates.js for a whole library (dry run default). Production dry
run: 728 chapters dated (Kagurabachi, JJK, Chainsaw Man, One Piece from 928).
- Peer sync: chapters this library already has adopt a peer's earlier ecosystem
date (job result ecosystemLowered); the peer listing now carries dates.

- Chapter rows show when you first finished a chapter (setting: date + hour,
date, off) from a new durable progress doneAt; older reads fall back to the
reading clock's earliest remembered completion.
- chapter.json keeps added (arrival in this library, now kept on replace) plus
x-dates.source (source upload, bulk imports flagged), x-dates.release
(official, for a later metadata job) and x-dates.ecosystem (first entry into
any Manga Circus library; carried over peering, earliest wins, clamped).
- Rows show one release date by tier: official > source upload > ecosystem >
library, with all known dates in the tooltip (setting to hide).
- Fixes: WeebCentral dates came from the chapter page, which has none (every
chapter got the download time); they now come from the full chapter list.
MangaDex no longer writes a group's publishAt into added. Peering sends dates.
- tools/backfill-chapter-dates.js migrates an existing library (dry run default).
- Coverage dry run on the server: docs/chapter-dates-coverage-2026-10-24.md.

The stall watchdog now runs inside the scraper (ScraperService.checkStalls,
every 30 s from the work loop): same rule as before, one checkpoint-safe
restart, quarantine on the second stall, missing checkpoint is no evidence,
and paused time no longer counts. Stalls are recorded as scraper incidents
(failure.kind 'stall'). The private /api/recovery endpoint is gone.
Dropped with the service: reader/scraper-unreachable incidents (supervisor
and Docker handle crashes; the health page shows "Scraper: unreachable"),
duplicate job-failure incidents and the unused /metrics endpoint.
The stack is now reader + scraper (+ optional peer-gateway).
The supervisor test moved to runtime/test (npm run test:runtime stays).
