*ARRgh v0.0.10 — Comick 502 Fixes

Released: 2026-05-25

What's new

Comick source reliability fixes

Several issues causing Comick chapters and covers to fail silently:

• 502 no longer stalls sync — sync_chapters now returns Ok(0) on 502 instead of propagating the error; manga stays ready rather than flipping to error when Comick is temporarily unavailable.
• Corrupt covers fixed — fetch_cover previously fell through to a direct HTTP fetch on any non-2xx response, storing Cloudflare challenge HTML (≈4 KB) as the cover image. It now returns an error on 502/5xx and only falls back to direct HTTP for sources without a /cover endpoint (501).
• Comick cover bypass — new cover() export in the Comick plugin fetches cover images via CloakBrowser page.evaluate() with the correct Referer: comick.io header, bypassing Cloudflare protection on the meo.comick.pictures CDN.
• Chapter lookup fixed — Comick search results were using slug as the source ID instead of hid. The chapters endpoint only accepts hid, so chapters for newly-added Comick titles were 404-ing. Fixed at the plugin level.
• Null chapters guard — added Array.isArray guard in the Comick plugin for paginated chapter responses that return null instead of [] (API 404 shape).
• FK race fixed — sync_library now checks rows_affected() after setting sync_status = 'syncing'; if the manga was deleted between the sync query and the sync loop, it skips rather than hitting a FK constraint error.

Upgrading

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

No schema changes. If you have existing Comick manga with corrupt covers (tiny file size, placeholder shown), remove and re-add from Discover to re-trigger cover download.
