INTEGRATION PLAYBOOK

Connect the external tools without losing operator visibility.

Vetrra is valuable because it orchestrates real local tooling instead of hiding it. The integration layer should preserve observability and deterministic boundaries.

Downloader intake

• Keep SABnzbd output paths distinct from final library destinations.
• Normalize intake naming before encode work begins.
• Keep queue ownership clear so failed jobs can be retried without ambiguity.

OCR and local inference

• Run Ollama on hardware that matches the poster workload you expect.
• Pin the vision model used for poster parsing so behavior stays predictable between runs.
• Treat OCR mismatches as metadata review problems, not silent background behavior.

Deploy targets

• Separate staging, QC, and deploy destinations.
• Validate final ownership and permissions before enabling automated placement.
• Keep output paths deterministic so Plex or downstream library scans remain reproducible.

Commercial and operator boundary

Beta 2 access, licensing, and payment rollout should stay separate from the core processing stack. The website reflects that by exposing commercial staging honestly instead of implying a cloud-managed runtime.
