let a torrent start re-downloading
Batch-relinking 9 torrents, one setLocation call silently failed
(status ignored) while the script declared success and moved on.
Its recheck then ran against the original (now-empty) path, found
0% match, and qBittorrent started re-downloading the whole torrent
from scratch into its incomplete-files staging area. No lasting
harm (separate path from the real hardlinked copy, cleaned up), but
caught only by watching qBittorrent directly, not by anything the
script reported.
Fixes: every mutating call now goes through an api_call() helper
that checks the HTTP status and aborts on failure; the torrent is
stopped before any location/rename calls (qBittorrent 5.x renamed
pause/resume to stop/start) and left stopped after recheck rather
than auto-resuming, so a bad relink can never turn into an active
download. setLocation's effect is also verified via a follow-up
GET before proceeding to renameFile.

Sonarr's hardlink-import removes files from their original
torrent-named folder, but qBittorrent's own records still point
there - the next recheck or peer request flips those downloads to
"missing files". qbt-relink.sh re-points a torrent's location and
per-file names at the Sonarr-organized destination and triggers a
recheck, so seeding continues against the same underlying data
(same inode) instead of erroring out or needing a re-download.
Documented as a required step in the sonarr skill's per-show
migration workflow.

claude-homelab's Sonarr skill only covers search/add/remove, not the
manual-import workflow the Jellyfin migration depends on. Wraps
lookup/add/scan/import into a script matching this repo's
portainer.sh conventions, replacing repetitive raw curl calls.
Also documents a naming-token gotcha hit while migrating the first
two pilot shows: Sonarr's series folder format needs the combined
{Series TitleYear} token, not {Series Title} ({Year}) - the latter
silently drops the year.

git-hook-tamper.yaml's condition used proc.exepath, which resolves to the
script interpreter's path (e.g. /bin/busybox) for shebang scripts, not the
script's own path - switched to proc.cmdline, which retains the originally
invoked path. Confirmed via live-testing both ways.
ssh-persistence/cloud-metadata-probe/db-spawned-process round out the
post-incident hardening pass with a few more incubating-ruleset adaptations.
