 ## Python-first Desktop Architecture
 
 - **Primary GUI framework**: `PySide6` (Qt for Python).
-- **Communication Layer**: A local `FastAPI` backend to separate core logic from the UI.
-- **IPC Mechanism**: The GUI spawns the FastAPI server on a random high port (binding to `127.0.0.1` ONLY) and communicates via REST/WebSockets.
 
 ## Core Features to Implement

 2. **Interactive Configuration**: Wizard-style setup for new playlists (URL detection, folder picker).
 3. **Queue Manager**: Visual progress bars for active downloads, showing speed, ETA, and current video title.
 4. **Log Viewer**: Real-time streaming of yt-dlp logs for troubleshooting.
-5. **Settings Panel**: Global settings for binary paths (ffmpeg, aria2c), max parallel jobs, and Docker detection toggle.
+5. **Settings Panel**: Global settings for binary paths (ffmpeg), max parallel jobs, and Docker detection toggle.
 
 ## Phase 1 Roadmap: "The Bridge"
 
-- [ ] **Refactor `src/manager.py`**: Convert CLI-first execution to async-compatible methods for FastAPI consumption.
-- [ ] **FastAPI Integration**: Create endpoints for `/playlists`, `/status`, and `/download/start`.
 - [ ] **PySide6 Skeleton**: Basic window with `QWebEngine` (if hybrid) or native `QWidget` dashboard.
 - [ ] **Packaging**: `pyinstaller` configuration to bundle both backend and frontend into a single `.exe`.
 
 ## Packaging & Distribution (brief)
 
-- Bundle the backend and GUI into one distributable. The GUI should spawn the local API process (background subprocess) on startup.
+- Bundle the backend and GUI into one distributable.
 - Windows: use `pyinstaller` or `briefcase` to create an executable/installer. Consider creating an MSI or Inno Setup installer for a polished UX.
-- Linux: provide AppImage, Snap, or distribution-specific packages (deb/rpm) — AppImage is a good starting point for single-file distribution.
-- Security: bind the local API to `localhost` only, use a short-lived token or IPC for authentication between GUI and backend, and avoid exposing unnecessary ports.

-## Roadmap (GUI → Web → Mobile)
-
-1. Desktop prototype: `FastAPI` backend + `PySide6` GUI (thin client) with basic playlist add/update/download controls and status streaming.
-2. Packaging: create Windows exe/installer and Linux AppImage for the prototype.
-3. Web frontend: build a web SPA that consumes the same backend API (hosted or local) — this reuses business logic with minimal change.
-4. Android: either a native app or cross-platform UI (Flutter/React Native) that calls the backend API; alternatively host the backend and make a thin mobile client.
-
-If you want, I can now: scaffold a minimal `FastAPI` backend and `PySide6` desktop starter in this repo, or produce concise packaging steps for Windows and Linux. Which do you prefer?

+You need to separate playlist sync state from download attempts.
+
+The goal should not be “all 400 downloaded in one run”. It should be:
+
+All downloadable items eventually reach a final state. Temporary failures are retried later. Permanent failures are recorded clearly.
+
+Use statuses like:
+
+queued
+downloading
+completed
+
+temporary_failed
+rate_limited
+verification_required
+
+unavailable
+private
+geo_blocked
+copyright_blocked
+age_restricted
+unsupported
+failed_permanent
+
+skipped_by_user
+removed_from_playlist
+
+Main logic:
+
+1. Fetch playlist metadata
+2. Create/update queue items for all playlist videos
+3. Download available queued items
+4. On normal temporary errors: retry later
+5. On YouTube rate-limit / bot check: pause the whole sync
+6. On unavailable/private/deleted videos: mark as permanent failure
+7. On next sync: retry only retryable items
+
+Important: do not delete queue records just because download failed. Keep them as sync records.
+
+For each video, store:
+
+video_id
+playlist_id
+playlist_position
+wanted_format: audio | video
+status
+failure_type
+failure_message
+attempt_count
+last_attempt_at
+next_retry_at
+is_retryable
+local_file_path
+
+Retry behavior:
+
+temporary_failed -> retry with backoff
+rate_limited -> pause playlist/app queue, retry much later
+verification_required -> pause until user action
+unavailable/private/deleted -> do not retry often
+geo/age restricted -> do not retry unless settings/auth changed
+
+Example backoff:
+
+attempt 1: retry after 10 minutes
+attempt 2: retry after 1 hour
+attempt 3: retry after 6 hours
+attempt 4: retry after 24 hours
+attempt 5+: retry manually or during next scheduled sync
+
+For the user, show a sync summary:
+
+Playlist sync partially completed
+
+Downloaded: 200
+Queued: 0
+Retry later: 80
+Needs attention: 1
+Unavailable: 119
+
+The playlist is still tracked. Retryable items will be attempted again in the next sync.
+
+Best behavior for the 400-item example:
+
+200 downloaded
+50 unavailable/private/deleted -> mark permanent
+149 temporary/rate-limited -> retry later
+1 bot/verification error -> pause sync and ask user
+
+Do not cancel the whole sync as “failed”. Mark it as:
+
+completed_with_issues
+paused_needs_attention
+partially_synced
+
+In UI terms, the playlist should have a health/status:
+
+Synced
+Syncing
+Partially synced
+Paused - needs attention
+Error
+
+The most important rule:
+
+Never lose the reason why an item did not download.
+
+That lets your app eventually download everything possible without repeatedly hammering YouTube or confusing the user.
+
+
+## What to change to match the plan
+
+Fix the destructive UPSERT behavior in src/app/core/database/db.py / SyncService.sync_from_config() so scans update metadata (title/index/last_seen) but do not overwrite existing downloaded/local_filename (and later: status/failure fields).
+
+Introduce a persistent table (or extend playlist_items) with:
+status, failure_type, failure_message, attempt_count, last_attempt_at, next_retry_at, is_retryable, wanted_format, local_file_path.
+
+Update ActionExecutor / worker layer to write transitions into DB (queued → downloading → completed / temporary_failed / rate_limited / verification_required / failed_permanent).
+
+Change “next sync” selection to only pick queued or retryable && next_retry_at <= now, not everything each time.
+Add summary/health states (partially_synced, paused_needs_attention, etc.) based on counts.
