## Backport bug fixes from `NemesisHubris/litfinder`
Forwards a curated set of bug fixes from
[NemesisHubris/litfinder](https://github.com/NemesisHubris/litfinder) —
a community fork of this project — that address open issues here. All
commits preserve original authorship via `git cherry-pick`; this PR is a
backport rather than original work. Each fix has been reviewed locally,
lint/format-cleaned to match this repo's existing ruff config, and
verified with the test suite. Rebrand strings, license switches, and
features have been deliberately excluded.
### Upstream issues addressed
- **#999** — Mirror URLs with query params no longer break search
requests (strip query string/fragment in `normalize_http_url`)
- **#956** — Apprise notifications now respect the configured proxy
(proxy env vars injected before dispatch)
- **#1025** — rTorrent: separate `RTORRENT_AUDIOBOOK_LABEL` setting,
falls back to book label if unset
- **#1010** — Stop button in Activity no longer makes the panel
disappear (snapshot refresh on cancel)
- **#1021** — Anna's Archive slow-download countdown now caps retries
instead of looping forever
- **#1040** — Empty destination directory cleaned up when write probe
fails
- **PR #1031** — Language detection from Anna's Archive distant path
when listing metadata is missing
### Additional fixes (no open issue but clear bugs)
- **fix: Python 2 `except` syntax across 27 files** — `except X, Y:` is
a SyntaxError in Python 3 and prevents affected modules from importing
at runtime. Mechanical sweep to `except (X, Y):`.
- **fix(abb): info hash validation with magnet fallback** — adds
SHA-1/SHA-256 hex validation on extracted info hashes; falls back to
scanning the full page for a magnet link (e.g. posted in comments) when
the table value is malformed. Also extends the exact-phrase fallback to
manual queries and defaults the ABB listing language to `en` when
missing, preventing valid results from being hidden by the language
filter. Includes a small test-fixture fix (`test(abb): use valid hex
info hashes in scraper test fixtures`) since the existing fixtures used
non-hex placeholders that the new validation correctly rejects.
- **fix: Anna's Archive title parser** — handles nested edition spans
and filters `lgli` catalog descriptor entries (e.g. "Book/Online Audio")
that were polluting search results.
### Deliberately not included
- LitFinder rebranding (UI strings, Apprise app ID, logo). The `fix:
three upstream bugs` commit (#999/#956/#1025) was cherry-picked with
Apprise app-id, description, and logo-URL strings reverted from
"LitFinder" back to "Shelfmark"; noted in the commit body.
- Features from the LitFinder fork (multi-variant title search,
multi-book flat-folder grouping, fuzzy text matching, "Leave in Place"
output handler, admin display name, custom-source plugin system). These
are larger behavior changes that each warrant their own focused review —
happy to send any of them separately if of interest.
- LitFinder-specific test environment and CI infrastructure.
### Verification
- Backend: **1879 passed**, 96 skipped (1 preexisting failure on
`seleniumbase`-dependent test in local venv; runs fine in the standard
Docker image with the `browser` extra)
- Lint, format, dead-code: all clean against this repo's existing
ruff/vulture config
- One follow-up cleanup commit (`style: ruff lint and format fixes for
ported commits`) brings the cherry-picked code into compliance with this
repo's ruff settings — no behavior changes there
### Etiquette / credit
Per-commit authorship preserved by cherry-pick. The only edits to the
original commits are:
- `fix: three upstream bugs` — Apprise rebrand strings reverted to
"Shelfmark" (noted in commit body, original author retained as
`Co-Authored-By` via cherry-pick)
- One follow-up `style:` commit for ruff config alignment
Big thanks to [@NemesisHubris](https://github.com/NemesisHubris) for the
original work in LitFinder; this PR exists to make sure these fixes
reach Shelfmark's wider user base. Happy to revise scope, split into
smaller PRs, or split off the Py2 cleanup separately if that's
preferable.

Also:
Adjusted Welib/Zlib/Libgen URLs to be dynamically generated via hash.
Fixed Zlib downloads and user agent flow. AA URLS are now fetched lazily
if another source is prioritised.
Updated the script to extract hostname and IP from EXT_BYPASSER_URL and
modify /etc/hosts accordingly. Replaced pyrequests with curl for network
requests.
Refactor: Improve Docker build, add Tor support, use SeleniumBase
- Overhauled Dockerfile:
- Switched to python:3.10-slim base.
- Implemented multi-stage builds (base, standard, tor).
- Consolidated RUN layers for efficiency.
- Added locale/timezone setup.
- Added Tor setup and iptables configuration in dedicated stage/script.
- Replaced DrissionPage with SeleniumBase for Cloudflare bypassing.
- Added Tor support via `docker-compose.tor.yml` and `tor.sh` script.
- Updated `docker-compose.yml` to build locally and changed default port
to 8083.
- Added `docker-compose.dev.yml` and `docker-compose.tor.dev.yml`.
- Updated `entrypoint.sh` for timezone and sudo usage.
- Added/Updated environment variables (`TZ`, `USING_TOR`, etc.).
- Improved `.dockerignore`.
- Updated `readme.md` to reflect port changes, build process, document
`TZ`, and add details about the new Tor variant.
