Pure remediation; no behavior change. Every item traces to a finding in
docs/architecture_code_review_2026-08-17.md.
Deletions
- Delete app_state.py, which had zero importers and whose get_session_factory
raised TypeError at runtime [HIGH-01].
- Delete services/transcription.py and point build_prompt_execution imports at
services/sources.py; drop the store.py compatibility aliases [MED-05].
- Delete ServiceBase.queue and its unparameterized asyncio.Queue [MED-07].
- Delete db/operations.get_next_queued_job, a divergent duplicate [CRIT-01].
- Drop the discarded load_docs parameter from list_jobs [LOW-03].
Config
- Delete worker_retry_backoff_seconds; no backoff behavior existed anywhere, so
wiring it would have been a new feature [MED-02].
- Wire sqlite_check_same_thread through get_engine. The engine hardcoded the
setting's own default, so this preserves behavior exactly [MED-02].
- Replace DATABASE_URL in docker-compose.yml with the nested DATABASE__DRIVER /
DATABASE__PATH names. Settings uses env_nested_delimiter with extra="ignore",
so DATABASE_URL was silently discarded [MED-10].
UI
- Move the 23KB inline VIBESCRIBE_LOGO_SVG to ui/static/vibescribe_logo.svg and
load it through a cached read_svg sibling of read_css [MED-09].
- Route the portrait upload failure through error_presenter.show_error [LOW-07].
- Cancel the job detail auto-refresh timer instead of only deactivating it, and
name its interval constant [LOW-06].
Worker
- Make WorkerNotifier runtime_checkable and validate the resolved object in
resolve_worker_notifier, which previously returned any non-None attribute
unchecked [LOW-04].
Docs and lint
- Fix two stale paths in services.instructions.md, one of which pointed at the
module deleted here [LOW-02].
- ruff check --fix to zero [LOW-01].
Verified: 264 passed, 4 skipped; ruff check clean.
