-
-queued / downloading job: cancelled, returns 200 with {"status": "success", "message": "Job cancelled"}.completed / failed / cancelled job: removed from the manager entirely, returns 204 (no body).- Unknown job:
404.

-POST /api/download/jobs/{job_id}/retry
-Enqueue a new job reusing a finished job's service, title, and original (unredacted) parameters. Only allowed on completed, failed, or cancelled jobs — returns 409 otherwise, 404 if unknown. The original job is left in place.
-Creation-time authorization is re-applied at retry time: the job's service must pass the caller's service allowlist (otherwise 400 invalid service), and jobs whose original parameters carried a cdm override or per-job credentials return 403 if serve.cdm_overrides / serve.allow_job_credentials no longer permit them.
-Returns 202 with the same shape as POST /api/download:

-Persistent download history. Every job that reaches a terminal state (completed, failed, cancelled) is appended as one JSON line to api_history.jsonl in the cache directory, surviving restarts and job cleanup. Only the newest serve.history_limit entries are retained (default 100, 0 for unlimited; see Advanced Config). Newest first. Corrupt lines are skipped; a missing file yields an empty list. Entries are filtered by the caller's service allowlist. Disabled in --remote-only mode.

error_message is redacted with the same secret-scrubbing applied to job responses. parameters is the redacted download selection the job ran with (quality/vcodec/range/wanted/skip_dl, etc.). completed_time is null for jobs cancelled while still queued.
-
-DELETE /api/history/{job_id}
-Remove a single history entry by job_id (the file is rewritten without it). Returns 204 on success, 404 if no matching entry exists or it falls outside the caller's service allowlist. Corrupt lines in the history file are preserved.
-curl -X DELETE -H "X-Secret-Key: $KEY" "http://localhost:8786/api/history/504db959-80b0-446c-a764-7924b761d613"

-POST /api/maintenance/clear-cache
-Delete the contents of the cache directory (the directory is recreated empty). freed_bytes is best effort. This also removes api_history.jsonl, so persistent download history is cleared.

{ "cleared": true, "freed_bytes": 1234567 }

-{ "cleared": true, "freed_bytes": 0 }
-
-POST /api/maintenance/refresh-services
-Force-sync (git pull, hard reset to upstream) every service repo configured in directories.services. refreshed is true when all repos synced (or none are configured). Disabled in --remote-only mode.

An empty changes array means the repo was already up to date. A repo that failed to sync has updated: false (and flips refreshed to false).
-
-GET /api/env/check
-Install status of the binaries unshackle env check inspects (FFmpeg, MKVToolNix, shaka-packager, etc.). version is a best-effort probe and may be null even when installed. Disabled in --remote-only mode.
