Brings the fork up to date with upstream baairon/torlink v1.4.0 — headless server modes and a new source — plus a Favourites library and the project's first linting + CI setup.

Highlights

🖥️ Headless modes (run without the TUI — servers & seedboxes)

torlink now runs entirely without the interactive UI, so it fits on a box you SSH into:

  • torlnk watch <dir> — watch-folder: drop a .torrent, or a .magnet/.txt holding a magnet or info hash, into the folder and it downloads, then seeds. Handled files move to .processed / .failed. Add --to <dir> to choose where files land.
  • torlnk serve — small HTTP add API on :9161 (POST /add, GET /downloads, GET /health).
  • torlnk files — read-only, range-aware HTTP server on :9160 that streams completed downloads to a browser or media player (supports seeking/resuming).
  • torlnk attach — run the TUI inside a persistent tmux session; detach with ctrl-b d, log out, and reattach later with downloads/seeds still running.
  • --daemon — background any headless mode in its own session, logging to a file, so it survives logout.
  • Seed reaper--seed-time <dur> (e.g. 1h, 30m, 2d) stops seeding a torrent that long after it finishes; add --delete-files to also remove the data.

The headless HTTP servers bind to 127.0.0.1 by default; binding a public --host requires a --token (or TORLINK_API_TOKEN / TORLINK_FILES_TOKEN).

⭐ Favourites (Library) for video series

A persistent Favourites/Library for Movies, TV, and Anime — the picker now stays open as you add entries instead of closing after each one.

🔎 Search

  • New source: BitTorrented (Movies + TV).
  • Sources can now belong to multiple categories, so a general index like BitTorrented shows under every tab it serves.
  • Streaming search updates are coalesced (≈150ms) so bursts of fast-returning sources no longer drop keystrokes or flood the UI.

🐛 Fixes

  • 1337x scraper loading speed optimized.
  • node-datachannel now rebuilds from source when the prebuilt binary fails to load on Node 22+.
  • Headless HTTP servers locked down, HTTP tracker endpoints added, and the real version is now reported.

🔧 Tooling

  • ESLint (flat config) wired up — npm run lint / lint:fix. The codebase already contained eslint-disable directives but never shipped a config; this makes them live.
  • CI: a new workflow runs typecheck + lint + tests on every PR and push to main (previously there was no PR CI — releases only built on tag).
