Autoscan setup asked operators to hold five concepts — plugin, capability,
source, connection, delivery mode — before anything scanned, spread across
four tabs. Sources never stated which library they fed, so a misconfigured
one ran cleanly and silently did nothing.
The admin UI also hardcoded two plugin identities: SourcesPanel.tsx carried
33 references to silo.autoscan.cephfs / silo.autoscan.arr-webhook plus a
bespoke CephFS config editor. A third-party scan-source plugin could render
no configuration UI at all without patching silo-server.
Host side, add a ScanSourceDescriptor read from capability manifest metadata:
delivery modes, connection requirement, connection kinds, and the per-source
config form. Capabilities that declare nothing resolve to poll + optional
connection — exactly the pre-descriptor behavior, so existing installs are
unaffected. Compatibility descriptors for the two first-party plugins live in
one file with a clear exit: the manifest always wins, so a plugin takes
ownership by publishing its own.
UI side, the Add-source flow builds its steps from the descriptor rather than
from plugin ids, so a single-mode source is never asked how changes arrive and
a credential-free one never sees the connection step. Connections are created
inline (previously a dead end that forced cancelling out of the dialog), and
webhook setup finishes in one place: mappings, then the URL with the exact
Sonarr/Radarr triggers the host actually parses.
Mapping rows seed from library paths collapsed to their common ancestor per
mount point. Verified against a real install: 96 library paths become 2 rows.
Rewrites match by longest prefix at a segment boundary, so one row per mount
covers everything beneath it.
Fold the Connections and Settings tabs into an Advanced section (4 tabs -> 2);
old ?tab= links land on Sources with it expanded. Source rows now name the
libraries they feed and warn when a source can never resolve one.
API changes are additive within /api/v1: new optional fields on
/autoscan/scan-source-plugins only.
