fix: improve Servarr download queue syncing

[constbogdan]

Description

The /queue endpoint is paginated and defaults to 10 records, but Seerr was only reading the first page. With more than 10 items the rest where lost. This change fetches the full queue and waits for RefreshMonitoredDownloads to complete before reading it.

I used ChatGPT to investigate the issue, help with the changes and tests. I reviewd the code changes and tested against a local Seerr instance with live sonarr.

How Has This Been Tested?

Added automated tests for queue pagination, refresh command handling, failures/timeouts, and overlapping sync calls.

I also tested it against Sonarr with:

• a 27-episode season pack;
• 13 individual episode downloads.

In both cases Seerr received all queue entries and the correct per-episode progress.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • Queue retrieval now includes all available pages while preserving episode details.
  • Monitored download refreshes now wait for command completion and clearly report failures or timeouts.
  • Concurrent download updates are consolidated into a single refresh, preventing duplicate work.
• Bug Fixes
  • Scheduled download synchronization errors are now caught and logged instead of failing silently.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds paginated Servarr queue retrieval and deadline-aware command polling. It also makes download refresh updates awaitable, coalesces concurrent refreshes, and logs scheduled-job failures.

Changes

Servarr download refresh flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Paginated queue retrieval server/api/servarr/base.ts, server/api/servarr/base.test.ts	getQueue fetches pages in batches of 100 until it collects all reported records. Tests cover request parameters, episode preservation, and later-page failures.
Command submission and completion polling server/api/servarr/base.ts, server/api/servarr/base.test.ts	refreshMonitoredDownloads returns command responses, polls until completion, bounds each request by the remaining deadline, and handles failed commands and timeout responses.
Coordinated download refresh updates server/lib/downloadtracker.ts, server/lib/downloadtracker.test.ts, server/job/schedule.ts	DownloadTracker shares one in-flight update promise and awaits Radarr and Sonarr updates. The scheduled job logs update failures.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to cc929

This change retrieves paginated Servarr queue records and waits for refresh completion before reading the queue. No concrete unresolved merge-readiness risk is identified.

Each page returns its records fine
One refresh promise guards the run

This is not a fix but a feat. We never supported more than 10 and that was deliberate design when it was implemented. But also did you even check if an existing pr existed?
#1055

[aussierk]

@fallenbagel I don't want to be rude but I do not think that this PR is a duplicate of the PR that you referenced.

This PR looks at extending the queue fetching from Sonarr/Radarr while the referenced PR is regarding setting limits on the number of TV shows that can be requested in a singular request.

While I agree, this is a feat not a fix, I think it is a PR worth considering. The 10 limit design decision is interesting, I do wonder if its worth at least considering making this at least configurable with a default of 10 for users who are interested or want more visibility of their queue in Seer.

I referenced the wrong PR due to a typo. This PR already exists
#1055. And if you look at the comments in there you'll see some of the concerns.

It just got closed due to being stale. But this is still a duplicate.

[constbogdan]

@fallenbagel You're right, this is a feat rather than a fix - thank you for pointing out #1055 i completely missed it. I'm happy to work with Mavyre and incorporate the requested configurable Sonarr/Radarr queue size into my changes. Let me know which way you'd prefer us to proceed. :D

Sure. Since #1055 already has review notes on it, makes sense to build off that one rather than duplicating effort

That makes more sense, I just wanted to flag it,
