- [x] C11 preview caching: Discord-hosted image/GIF previews (WebP 320px, hash-addressed, 5 MiB
cap, one attempt) run after every walk in both modes. Live run `...-20260916090722`:
`previewed: 2`; thumbs served over `/api/media/<scrape>/<item>/thumb` (200).
- [x] C51 YouTube Shorts normalization. Shorts links broke the embedded player and View full
because the viewer needs `watch?v=`. Extraction now rewrites `youtube.com/shorts/<id>` (and
`m.`) to the watch form, the viewer also accepts `/shorts/<id>` defensively, and a one-time
`PRAGMA user_version` migration rewrites existing rows. The live archive had 45 shorts rows;
one collided with an already indexed watch URL and folded into it (preview fields merged,
message links moved) — the migration is idempotent and unit-tested, including the collision.
45 → 0 shorts rows, and the user's example `uAf18d7mrnU` is now
`watch?v=uAf18d7mrnU` with `embed/uAf18d7mrnU` as the play URL.
- [x] C50 Title backfill in the queue. YouTube-like rows (provider or URL matching
youtube/youtu.be) without a title are now a second work type in the backfill queue: resolved
through the provider oEmbed, stored as `title`/`title_key`, with `title_attempts` and

(`posted_at`), and its dimensions (`width`, `height`, `aspect_ratio`). `youtube.com/shorts/<id>`

embedded player and View full need the watch form; a shorts row that collides with an already
indexed watch URL folds into it (preview/file fields merge, message links move over). Embed rows also store
Discord's `title` (YouTube and friends) plus `title_key`, the lowercased, punctuation-collapsed
form used by the title search: multi-word prefix tokens by default ("Ma Ca Ju" finds *Man who jumps
over car*), one phrase with the exact-match toggle, and rows without a title drop out while a
