docs: re-record the README demos and make re-recording reproducible - #244
Conversation
hero.gif still showed the pre-Jellyfin service list, because regenerating it meant hand-configuring a stack of services. It now shows all nine, with Jellyfin reporting ok at 10.11.11. Adds a one-command recording environment so this does not go stale again: bun run testbed:up # optional, includes Jellyfin in the shot bun run recording:up # Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr/Prowlarr + config + PATH shim vhs docs/vhs/hero.tape vhs docs/vhs/workflow.tape bun run recording:down recording:up waits for each arr to generate its API key, writes a gitignored .tsarr.json, and drops a .recording-bin/tsarr shim so the tapes record the CLI from source rather than an installed release. Jellyfin is picked up from the integration test bed when it is running. Readarr is absent: upstream is archived and publishes no arm64 image. Bazarr, qBittorrent and Seerr are not included, so they show as "not configured" — which is honest, and exercises that path in the demo. workflow.gif is re-recorded too. Its table still wraps at 1200px, but the committed original wrapped identically, so that is existing CLI rendering rather than a regression. Also fixes real test isolation, found because the recording config triggered it: tests/cli.test.ts ran the CLI with cwd inside the repo, so the CLI's parent directory search picked up any local .tsarr.json and saw services as configured. `doctor --json` then exited 0 instead of 1. Any contributor with a local config hit this. The tests now run the CLI by absolute path with cwd inside the isolated temp HOME, verified green both with and without a local config present.

Pin the recording image references.
The four services use mutable latest tags. A later recording can pull different service versions, so the workflow does not guarantee reproducible GIF output or CLI behavior. Pin each image to a tested version tag or digest, and confirm host-architecture support.

Check Jellyfin before adding it to the recording configuration.
.env.test can exist while the Jellyfin test bed is stopped. In that case, the generated configuration marks Jellyfin as configured, but demo commands will fail to connect.
Probe the configured Jellyfin URL with its API key before adding services.jellyfin. Otherwise, omit Jellyfin and show the existing setup instruction.

Preserve an existing local configuration.
recording:up overwrites an existing .tsarr.json. recording:down then deletes it. This can destroy a developer's local service configuration.
Fail before modifying an existing file, or back it up during up() and restore it during down().

…yfin (#245) Addresses review feedback on #244 that I merged before reading. All three were valid; the first is data loss. - recording:up overwrote an existing .tsarr.json and recording:down deleted it, so a contributor with a real config pointing at their own homelab would lose it silently. It is now moved aside to .tsarr.json.pre-recording and restored on down. Verified across a full up/down cycle: the original comes back byte-identical. - The Jellyfin credentials were taken from .env.test without checking the server was up. .env.test outlives a stopped test bed, so a demo could be recorded against a dead server and show an error row. resolveJellyfin() now probes /System/Info and omits Jellyfin unless it answers. Verified with a stale .env.test and nothing listening: Jellyfin is correctly left out. - The four recording images used mutable `latest` tags, so re-recording could silently pull different versions than the committed GIFs show. Pinned to concrete tags, all verified to publish arm64. Three match the versions in the current recording exactly; sonarr has moved on since.

hero.gifstill showed the pre-Jellyfin service list. It now shows all nine, with Jellyfin ✓ ok 10.11.11.Why it went stale, and why it won't again
Regenerating meant hand-configuring a stack of services. Now it's one command:
recording:upwaits for each arr to generate its API key, writes a gitignored.tsarr.json, and drops a.recording-bin/tsarrshim so the tapes record the CLI from source rather than an installed release. Jellyfin is reused from the integration test bed when it's up.Readarr is absent — upstream is archived and ships no arm64 image. Bazarr, qBittorrent and Seerr aren't included, so they render as "not configured", which is honest and exercises that path.
workflow.gifis re-recorded too. Its table still wraps at 1200px — I checked the committed original and it wrapped identically, so that's existing CLI rendering, not a regression from this change.A real test-isolation bug this surfaced
