Update ROADMAP: reflect a session's worth of shipped work

The roadmap had drifted far behind reality. Reconcile it:

State table → 16 ahead / 2 behind / 11 tied (was 11/4/6). Newly tied or
led: per-distro packaging, N-level folders, notes, restore, error
classification, subtitles; new "we lead" rows for the anti-bot stack,
cookie freshness, auto-retry/throttle, and player-client config.

Phase 1: only format conversion (1.7) remains as a real Tartube parity
gap. Notes (1.5), packaging (1.8), and N-level nesting (1.2+) moved to
"shipped". Phase 2: 2.3 / 2.4 marked done, 2.5 mostly done (crash log +
disk-full preflight + auto-retry shipped; lock-poisoning audit + hang
watchdog remain).

Expanded "Recently shipped" with this session's anti-bot + subtitle +
packaging + perf + wgpu work.

Score: 16 ahead, 2 behind, 11 tied. The big remaining gap is **format
conversion (1.7)**; everything else is polish or stretch.
## Phase 1 — Remaining Tartube parity items
The four items Tartube still has that we don't, ordered by how visibly
they change the user experience.
### 1.5 Per-channel / per-video notes
Free-text user annotations on any channel or video.
- New `notes` table: `(target_kind, target_id, body, updated_at)`.
- Pencil icon on the channel sidebar entry + video card.
- Notes are searchable from the global filter (search hits note body too).
- Web UI: edit-in-place textarea on click.
### 1.7 Format conversion pipeline
### 1.7 Format conversion pipeline — the one real parity gap left
Post-download re-encode option: H.264/AAC mp4 at a configurable CRF, or
audio extraction at a target bitrate. Useful for shrinking large 4K files.

(or keeps both with an `.original.mkv` suffix).
- Visible in the job log as a separate "transcoding" phase.
### 1.8 Per-distro packaging
Tartube ships .deb, .rpm, .pkg.tar.zst, .exe, .dmg. We ship a PKGBUILD.
- Codeberg CI matrix for `cargo build --release` on each target.
- Helpers to generate .deb (via `cargo-deb`), .rpm (via `cargo-generate-rpm`),
Windows MSI (via `cargo-wix`), and macOS .app + .dmg.
- Release artifacts attached to each tag.
### 1.3+ Filter presets (extension of completed 1.3)

- Presets stored in localStorage (web) / SQLite (desktop).
- Dropdown chip to apply a saved preset.
### 1.2+ N-level folder nesting (extension of completed 1.2)
Folders are flat right now (one level under each platform). Tartube
supports arbitrary nesting.
- Add `parent_id: Option<i64>` to `channel_folders`.
- Sidebar renders the tree recursively with disclosure triangles.
- "Move folder into folder" action in the manager.
## Phase 2 — Polish where Tartube is mature
Things we win on architecturally but lose on real-world ruggedness.
### 2.1 Integration test coverage
47 unit tests is good for parsers and helpers, useless for end-to-end
correctness. We need real-yt-dlp integration tests against a recorded
fixture corpus.

### 2.3 Error recovery / structured logging
### 2.3 Error recovery / structured logging — DONE
Today: errors land in the job log and that's it. Tartube has a "rescue
recipes" feature where common errors map to documented fixes.
Shipped a 9-class error classifier (`RateLimited`, `MembersOnly`,
`Geoblocked`, `NotFound`, `CodecMissing`, `DiskFull`, `NetworkError`,
`BadCookies`, `Other`) with a one-line suggested fix per class, surfaced
in both UIs. Remaining stretch: opt-in anonymous error telemetry to
surface new patterns.
- `Job::failure_reason: Option<ErrorClass>` enum (`RateLimited`,
`MissingCookies`, `CodecMissing`, `DiskFull`, `Other`).
- UI surfaces the class with a one-click suggested action.
- Optional anonymous error telemetry to surface new patterns.
### 2.4 Library restore — DONE
### 2.4 Library restore (backup is done)
`POST /api/restore/db` + file pickers in both UIs do an idempotent merge
(watched / positions / flags / folders / notes), schema-validated.
Snapshot DB download works. Restore doesn't.
### 2.5 Stability hardening — mostly DONE
- "Import library backup…" file picker in settings.
- Validate schema version before merging.
- Idempotent merge of watched + positions + flags (so re-importing the
same backup twice doesn't break anything).
### 2.5 Stability hardening
Long-running deployments will surface real bugs.
Done: crash.log panic hook, disk-full preflight (synthetic DiskFull job),
auto-retry + adaptive throttle on transient failures. Remaining:
- Replace remaining `.lock().unwrap()` with poisoning-aware accessors.
- Watchdog: if a yt-dlp job hangs past `--socket-timeout * retries`, kill
and re-queue.
- Disk-full preflight: refuse to start a download when target dir has
less free space than the average video size on disk.
- Panic hook that writes to `yt-offline.crash.log` so users have something
to attach to bug reports.
- Hang watchdog: if a yt-dlp job stalls past `--socket-timeout * retries`,
kill and re-queue.
## Phase 3 — Surpass
@ -212,6 +179,25 @@ Probably never, or much later.
Roughly reverse-chronological. Items that closed out a roadmap line.
- **Anti-bot stack** — POT token provider (bgutil-pot, version-matched
plugin), nightly yt-dlp for working curl_cffi impersonation, dropped
the captcha-prone forced `player_client=web`, auto-retry + adaptive
throttle on rate-limit, configurable player clients (global +
per-channel), cookie freshness / anonymous-jar warning.
- **Subtitle controls** — global `[subtitles]` config + per-channel
overrides (download / auto / embed / convert-format / langs).
- **N-level folder nesting** (1.2+) — `parent_id` tree, recursive
sidebar, move-folder-into-folder with cycle prevention.
- **Per-distro packaging** (1.8) — .deb / .rpm / AppImage via
scripts/package.sh + Forgejo CI release artifacts.
- **Per-channel / per-video notes** (1.5) — searchable annotations.
- **Library restore** (2.4) — idempotent backup import.
- **Error classification** (2.3) — 9-class classifier + suggested fixes.
- **Crash log + disk-full preflight** (2.5) — panic→crash.log, statvfs
guard before download.
- **wgpu renderer** — fixed NVIDIA+Wayland crash-on-maximize.
- **Performance pass** — info.json mtime cache, thumbnail worker pool,
/api/library body cache, opt-level=3 + thin LTO.
- **System tray** (1.6) — ksni-based SNI tray, minimize-to-tray opt-in.
- **Filter chips** (1.3) — watch / date / size / has-subs / has-chapters,
AND together, persisted to localStorage.
