- Engine: when the primary summarizer is out of retries (or misconfigured),
run_summarize now finishes the job on the configured rescue provider
(SHONAR_LLM_FALLBACK_*), tags the summary with the provider that wrote it,
and stores a human note in job.error; success clears stale notes.
- App (auto/lan): passes Ollama as the rescue provider when it is up.
- Detail screen: shows the rescue-swap note in plain words, a red
'Summary failed' line with Settings -> Summarizer fix instructions and a
Retry summary button on hard failure.
- Settings copy explains the fallback. 3 new pytest cases (14/14 pass);
live E2E on 2026-09-18: sarcastic summary v6 via LAN on attempt 2.
Nothing read it; services/search.py already picks SQLite vs Postgres by
dialect. The 'postgres_fts' default was a leftover from the server-era
config and only invited confusion.
- shared/ = portable Android-origin sources vendored from deferred/desktop-server
(app/build.gradle.kts srcDir repointed; PlaybackController.kt excluded as Android-only)
- backend/ = bundled-lite engine (SQLite + inline queue); .venv symlinked from the
old checkout, PYTHONPATH pins THIS backend's code over any editable install
- repoRoot() resolves this project dir (env SHONAR_REPO still wins); desktop-dev.sh
watches shared/ + backend/
- Verified: :app:compileKotlin + :app:test green (23 tests); engine boots on :8010,
self-migrates, /healthz ok
