- Add prominent view mode switcher with List/Grid toggle buttons
- Improve filter sidebar CSS with modern styling, rounded corners
- Add live progress bar for in-progress snapshots showing hooks status
- Show plugin icons only when output directory has content
- Display archive result output_size sum from new field
- Show hooks succeeded/total count in size column
- Add get_progress_stats() method to Snapshot model
- Add CSS for progress spinner and status badges
- Update grid view template with progress indicator for archiving cards
- Add tests for admin views, search, and progress stats
DELETED:
- workers/pid_utils.py (-192 lines) - replaced by Process model methods
SIMPLIFIED:
- crawls/models.py Crawl.cleanup() (80 lines -> 10 lines)
- hooks.py: deleted process_is_alive() and kill_process() (-45 lines)
UPDATED to use Process model:
- core/models.py: Snapshot.cleanup() and has_running_background_hooks()
- machine/models.py: Binary.cleanup()
- workers/worker.py: Worker.on_startup/shutdown, get_running_workers, start
- workers/orchestrator.py: Orchestrator.on_startup/shutdown, is_running
All subprocess management now uses:
- Process.current() for registering current process
- Process.get_running() / get_running_count() for querying
- Process.cleanup_stale_running() for cleanup
- safe_kill_process() for validated PID killing
Total line reduction: ~250 lines
Phase 1: Model Prerequisites
- Add ArchiveResult.from_json() and from_jsonl() methods
- Fix Snapshot.to_json() to use tags_str (consistent with Crawl)
Phase 2: Shared Utilities
- Create archivebox/cli/cli_utils.py with shared apply_filters()
- Update 7 CLI files to import from cli_utils.py instead of duplicating
Phase 3: Pass-Through Behavior
- Add pass-through to crawl create (non-Crawl records pass unchanged)
- Add pass-through to snapshot create (Crawl records + others pass through)
- Add pass-through to archiveresult create (Snapshot records + others)
- Add create-or-update behavior to run command:
- Records WITHOUT id: Create via Model.from_json()
- Records WITH id: Lookup existing, re-queue
- Outputs JSONL of all processed records for chaining
Phase 4: Test Infrastructure
- Create archivebox/tests/conftest.py with pytest-django fixtures
- Include CLI helpers, output assertions, database assertions
Phase 6: Config Update
- Update supervisord_util.py: orchestrator -> run command
This enables Unix-style piping:
archivebox crawl create URL | archivebox run
archivebox archiveresult list --status=failed | archivebox run
curl API | jq transform | archivebox crawl create | archivebox run
Extended graceful_terminate_background_hooks() to:
- Reap processes with os.waitpid() to get exit codes
- Write returncode to .returncode file for update_from_output()
- Return detailed result dict with status, returncode, and pid
Updated update_from_output() to:
- Read .returncode and .stderr.log files
- Determine status from returncode if no ArchiveResult JSONL record
- Include stderr in output_str for failed hooks
- Handle signal termination (negative returncodes like -9 for SIGKILL)
- Clean up .returncode files along with other hook output files
Changed Snapshot.cleanup() to gracefully terminate background hooks:
1. Send SIGTERM to all background hook processes first
2. Wait up to each hook's plugin-specific timeout
3. Send SIGKILL only to hooks still running after their timeout
Added graceful_terminate_background_hooks() function in hooks.py that:
- Collects all .pid files from output directory
- Validates process identity using mtime
- Sends SIGTERM to all valid processes in phase 1
- Polls each process for up to its plugin-specific timeout
- Sends SIGKILL as last resort if timeout expires
- Returns status for each hook (sigterm/sigkill/already_dead/invalid)
Multiple hooks in the same plugin directory were overwriting each
other's stdout.log, stderr.log, hook.pid, and cmd.sh files. Now
each hook uses filenames prefixed with its hook name:
- on_Snapshot__20_chrome_tab.bg.stdout.log
- on_Snapshot__20_chrome_tab.bg.stderr.log
- on_Snapshot__20_chrome_tab.bg.pid
- on_Snapshot__20_chrome_tab.bg.sh
Updated:
- hooks.py run_hook() to use hook-specific names
- core/models.py cleanup and update_from_output methods
- Plugin scripts to no longer write redundant hook.pid files
- Add JSONL_INDEX_FILENAME to ALLOWED_IN_DATA_DIR for consistency
- Fix fallback logic in legacy.py to try JSON when JSONL parsing fails
- Replace bare except clauses with specific exception types
- Fix stdin double-consumption in archivebox_crawl.py
- Merge CLI --tag option with crawl tags in archivebox_snapshot.py
- Remove tautological mock tests (covered by integration tests)

## Summary by cubic
Implemented a new interactive tags editor for Django admin with
autocomplete and AJAX add/remove, replacing the old multi-select and
inline. This makes tagging snapshots faster and safer in detail, list,
and bulk actions.
- **New Features**
- TagEditorWidget and InlineTagEditorWidget with pill UI and remove
buttons, XSS-safe rendering, and delegated events.
- Keyboard support: Enter/Space/Comma to add, Backspace to remove last
when input is empty.
- Datalist autocomplete and debounced search via GET
/tags/autocomplete/.
- AJAX endpoints: POST /tags/create/, /tags/add-to-snapshot/,
/tags/remove-from-snapshot/.
- **Refactors**
- Replaced FilteredSelectMultiple with TagEditorWidget in bulk actions;
parse comma-separated tags and use bulk_create/delete for efficient
add/remove.
- Added SnapshotAdminForm with tags_editor field; saves tags
case-insensitively and fixes remove_tags matching.
- Rendered inline tag editor in list view via title_str; removed
TagInline.
- Added CSS in admin/base.html for pill styling, focus ring, and compact
inline variant.

- Add Tag.to_jsonl() method with schema_version
- Add Crawl.to_jsonl() method with schema_version
- Fix Tag.from_jsonl() to not depend on jsonl.py helper
- Update tests to use Snapshot.from_jsonl() instead of non-existent get_or_create_snapshot
Remove model-specific functions from misc/jsonl.py:
- tag_to_jsonl() - use Tag.to_jsonl() instead
- crawl_to_jsonl() - use Crawl.to_jsonl() instead
- get_or_create_tag() - use Tag.from_jsonl() instead
- process_jsonl_records() - use model from_jsonl() methods directly
jsonl.py now only contains generic I/O utilities:
- Type constants (TYPE_SNAPSHOT, etc.)
- parse_line(), read_stdin(), read_file(), read_args_or_stdin()
- write_record(), write_records()
- filter_by_type(), process_records()
- add_tags: Uses SnapshotTag.objects.bulk_create() with ignore_conflicts
Instead of N calls to obj.tags.add(), now makes 1 query per tag
- remove_tags: Uses single SnapshotTag.objects.filter().delete()
Instead of N calls to obj.tags.remove(), now makes 1 query total
Works correctly with "select all across pages" via queryset.values_list()
- Fix case-sensitivity mismatch in remove_tags (use name__iexact)
- Fix XSS vulnerability by removing onclick attributes
- Use data attributes and event delegation instead
- Apply DOM APIs to prevent injection attacks

Move JSONL serialization from standalone functions to model methods
to mirror the from_jsonl() pattern:
- Add Binary.to_jsonl() method
- Add Process.to_jsonl() method
- Add ArchiveResult.to_jsonl() method
- Add Snapshot.to_jsonl() method
- Update write_index_jsonl() to use model methods
- Update jsonl.py functions to be thin wrappers
Switch from hierarchical index.json to flat index.jsonl format for
snapshot metadata storage. Each line is a self-contained JSON record
with a 'type' field (Snapshot, ArchiveResult, Binary, Process).
Changes:
- Add JSONL_INDEX_FILENAME constant to constants.py
- Add TYPE_PROCESS and TYPE_MACHINE to jsonl.py type constants
- Add binary_to_jsonl(), process_to_jsonl(), machine_to_jsonl() converters
- Add Snapshot.write_index_jsonl() to write new format
- Add Snapshot.read_index_jsonl() to read new format
- Add Snapshot.convert_index_json_to_jsonl() for migration
- Update Snapshot.reconcile_with_index() to handle both formats
- Update fs_migrate to convert during filesystem migration
- Update load_from_directory/create_from_directory for both formats
- Update legacy.py parse_json_links_details for JSONL support
The new format is easier to parse, extend, and mix record types.
Implement a sleek inline tag editor with autocomplete and AJAX support:
- Create TagEditorWidget and InlineTagEditorWidget in core/widgets.py
- Pills display with X remove button, sorted alphabetically
- Text input with HTML5 datalist autocomplete
- Enter/Space/Comma to add tags, auto-creates if doesn't exist
- Backspace removes last tag when input is empty
- Add API endpoints in api/v1_core.py

- POST /tags/create/ - get_or_create tag
- POST /tags/add-to-snapshot/ - add tag to snapshot via AJAX
- POST /tags/remove-from-snapshot/ - remove tag from snapshot
- Update admin_snapshots.py
- Replace FilteredSelectMultiple with TagEditorWidget in bulk actions
- Create SnapshotAdminForm with tags_editor field
- Update title_str() to render inline tag editor in list view
- Remove TagInline, use widget instead
- Add CSS styles in templates/admin/base.html
- Blue gradient pill styling matching admin theme
- Focus ring and hover states
- Compact inline variant for list view
## Summary
Resolves#1484 where CUSTOM_TEMPLATES_DIR configuration was being
ignored.
The setting was previously removed from ServerConfig and hardcoded as a
constant, preventing users from customizing the templates directory
location.
## Changes
- Added CUSTOM_TEMPLATES_DIR field to StorageConfig in common.py
- Updated settings.py to use STORAGE_CONFIG.CUSTOM_TEMPLATES_DIR
- Updated paths.py to use configurable value in version output
## Usage
Users can now configure the custom templates directory via:
- ArchiveBox.conf: `CUSTOM_TEMPLATES_DIR = ./custom_templates`
- Environment variable: `export CUSTOM_TEMPLATES_DIR=/path/to/templates`
- Defaults to DATA_DIR/user_templates if not configured

The bug was caused by importing Django's default UserAdmin instead of
CustomUserAdmin in admin.py. This bypassed all custom admin logic.
Additionally, CustomUserAdmin was modifying fieldsets without explicitly
preserving add_fieldsets, which can cause Django to not properly handle
the user creation form, leading to password hashing issues.
Changes:
- Updated admin.py to import and register CustomUserAdmin
- Explicitly set add_fieldsets in CustomUserAdmin to preserve Django's
default user creation behavior and ensure passwords are properly hashed
- Added explanatory comments
Fixes#1707
