Conflict Policy (conflict_policy)

When the canonical file name of a new torrent is already used by another torrent, this policy decides to keep the old one or to replace it. A typical case is a v2 release of the same episode. @provider(points.CONFLICT_POLICY, id=...) returns a ConflictPolicy.

from ab_sdk.rename import ConflictDecision, ConflictRequest

class ReplaceUpgradesOnly:
    def decide(self, request: ConflictRequest) -> ConflictDecision:
        if request.strict_upgrade:
            return ConflictDecision("replace")
        return ConflictDecision("hold", "not a higher version of the same release")

• ConflictRequest: target_path, incoming (the new torrent), owners (the torrents that use the name), strict_upgrade (the only owner is the same release as the new torrent and the new torrent has a higher version number).
• hold keeps the old file and the new torrent waits. AB shows the reason to the user. replace deletes the old task and its files.
• The host executes replace only when there is one owner, both torrents have a single file and both have a complete parsed identity. In all other cases AB treats the result as hold.
• The host has hold and replace. They are the two options of the setting "revision conflict policy". plugins.slots.conflict_policy selects the policy (default hold). If the selected id is not registered, AB uses hold.
