Adversarial review of PR #479 found the stated fail-open contract was not what the code measured, plus four smaller gaps. All fixed here as a follow-up commit (no amend/force-push). High — a 404 from ErsatzTV's OWN endpoint was treated as "media gone". /media/{provider}/... is served by InternalController, which returns NotFound when the media source is unconfigured or momentarily missing (a media-source edit that deletes+reinserts connections, a restore, a partially-configured server). Probing for "any 404" therefore failed CLOSED for every item on that source -- exactly the case the fail-open contract exists to prevent. A media-server 404 always arrives after a redirect, so an un-redirected 404 is now treated as available. Medium — the new switch label was untested and its benefit overstated. maybeDuration/finish are computed before the switch, so `default:` already sized the error card to the next playout item; the label only changes the caption. The handler test asserted call counts only, so deleting the label still passed. It now asserts the error message, and removing the label fails the test (verified). Medium — Plex/Emby branches changed but had no coverage. Added an Emby handler test asserting the probe is called with the emby URL. Low — caller cancellation was swallowed and pinned as desired behaviour. A shutdown / client disconnect is a genuine signal, not a probe failure; it now propagates, and only the probe's own 2s timeout fails open. Low — the response stream was disposed unread, aborting the connection instead of returning it to the pool. The one requested byte is drained. Nit — fully-qualified RangeHeaderValue replaced with a using. docs/decisions.md corrected where it overstated: the switch label's role, the "fixes the class for all three media servers" claim (external-JSON channels bypass ValidatePlayoutItemPath entirely -- filed as #480), and the unmeasured latency assertion. Deferred HEAD-instead-of-GET recorded with its reason rather than silently dropped. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
