UI controls glossary

The canonical spellings for controls cited across the UI documentation. Docs quote the label exactly as this page lists it — one entry per control; two spellings of one control is a defect. The controls block is machine-read: when a doc first names a control, add its entry in the same commit; when a rename lands, update the entry in the same commit and the gate goes green again.

Entry fields:

• label — the exact rendered text users see
• where — semantic path (page → section/card), never spatial; see the writing standard
• does — what interacting with it produces (the outcome)
• source — optional; default templ (templates/*.templ); ts searches web/src
• also — optional, pipe-separated extra literal fragments to search when the visible label is Alpine-composed rather than static (OR-checked with label)
• note — optional clarifier

Form-field labels inside a single modal (Name, Description…) are cited inline in docs and not tracked here; this list carries the controls people navigate by.

label: Force Rescan All Libraries
where: /admin dashboard → Quick Actions
does: Force-rescans every library — re-reads each file, re-extracts metadata with original-scan semantics, and recomputes hash identifiers. Unlike the shallow per-library and per-folder scans, nothing unchanged is skipped; this is the admin's backfill tool.
also: Scan All Libraries
note: renamed 2026-11-02 — the old label under-promised a heavy operation

label: Force Rescan
where: Admin → Libraries → a library's card row
does: Force-rescans that one library — re-reads and re-extracts every file in it. Same semantics as Force Rescan All Libraries, scoped to a single library.
also: Scan
note: renamed 2026-11-02 per owner — the label now carries the force semantics instead of hiding them

label: Scan this folder
where: Admin → Libraries → a library's panel → a folder row
does: Shallow-scans only that folder's subtree — unchanged files are skipped, and items in the library's other folders are never marked missing by a partial scan.

label: Retry
where: Admin → Libraries → a library's Processing Issues page → an issue card
does: Re-runs that one item through the scanner (a per-item scan, not a library pass). Success closes the issue; failure shows the real error.

label: Retry all
where: Admin → Libraries → a library's Processing Issues page → beside the severity cards
does: Queues every issue on the page and re-runs them one at a time, showing done/total progress. Deliberately not a whole-library scan.

does: Closes the issue without re-processing, after a confirm. Error-severity issues cannot be dismissed.

label: Purge All Archived
where: Admin → Archived Items → page header

label: Merge

label: Delete

does: Permanently removes the item and its reading history — no archive, no undo. Every Delete is confirm-guarded and states the scope.

does: Opens that library's panel: folders, user access, processing issues, edit/delete.

label: Edit Details
where: Admin → Libraries → a library's panel
does: Edits the library's name and description. Library type is not editable.

label: Delete Library

does: Opens the server-side folder browser: walk the filesystem, Select This Folder fills the path input.

label: User Access
where: Admin → Libraries → a library's panel → section heading
does: Per-user visibility checkboxes — checked (default) shows the library to that user; unchecked hides it everywhere for them, enforced in the database.

label: Keep both
where: Admin → Hash Conflicts → a conflict group card
does: Records the resolution and stops flagging the group; every copy stays, nothing merged or removed. For intentional duplicates.

label: Keep this copy
where: Admin → Hash Conflicts → a copy row
does: Keeps that copy, folds the other copies' reading data into it, and removes their catalog rows. Files on disk are never touched.

label: Delete files
where: Admin → All Podcasts → a feed row
does: Frees the disk and resets downloaded episodes to pending; they re-download on demand. A feed refresh will NOT re-materialize them.

label: Remove
where: Admin → All Podcasts → a feed row
does: Admin-wide feed removal — episode rows, downloaded files, and every user's subscription are deleted. Instance-wide, unlike a user's own unsubscribe.

label: + Create User
where: Admin → Users → page header
does: Opens the account-creation form (hidden until clicked). Available even when public registration is disabled; password rules mirror the live Settings.
