tui/events.py

Thread-safe event bus between the bot backend thread and the Textual TUI.
The bot thread calls post(). The TUI drains the queue every 100ms via _drain_bus().
Web SSE consumers call subscribe() / unsubscribe() to get their own broadcast queue.

Public API

from tui import events as bus   # from core/ and tui/app.py
from tui.events import post, init_bus, get_bus, tui_active
from tui.events import subscribe, unsubscribe
from tui.events import set_bot_context, signal_channel_changed

init_bus() -> queue.Queue

Creates the queue.Queue. Called inside MonitorApp.on_mount() — must run on Textual's event loop, not before App.run().

post(event: Any) -> None

Fire-and-forget from any thread. Delivers to the TUI queue and all subscriber queues.
Uses queue.Queue.put_nowait() — never blocks.

get_bus() -> queue.Queue | None

Returns the TUI queue for _drain_bus() to consume.

tui_active: bool

Set to True by init_bus(). Checked by core/tdl_downloader.py to decide whether to pipe tdl output or inherit the terminal.

subscribe() -> queue.Queue

Register a new subscriber. Returns a private queue.Queue that receives every future post(). Thread-safe. Call once per SSE connection.

unsubscribe(q: queue.Queue) -> None

Remove a subscriber queue. Safe to call if already removed. Call on SSE disconnect.

set_bot_context(loop, event) -> None

Called by _bot_main() once the bot asyncio loop and _ch_changed event exist. Enables signal_channel_changed().

signal_channel_changed() -> None

Wake the bot's _watch_channels() coroutine from any thread. Used by web config routes after channel list is updated.

Class	Fields	Posted by	Consumed by
EvDownloadQueued	batch_id, filename, size_mb, source, password	tdl_downloader, scraper	DownloadPanel.queued()

EvChannelAdded	channel	ChannelPanel.on_button_pressed()	_drain_bus → _signal_channel_changed()

Threading model

Bot thread (own asyncio loop)
  └─ bus.post(event)          ← queue.Queue.put_nowait() [thread-safe]
        ↓
  _queue (TUI)  +  _subscribers[0..n] (web SSE)
        ↓                    ↓
Textual thread           Web thread (uvicorn)
  _drain_bus()             SSE generator: q.get_nowait()

Channel changes from TUI:

_drain_bus sees EvChannelAdded/Removed
  → _signal_channel_changed()
       → loop.call_soon_threadsafe(asyncio.Event.set)
            → bot thread's _watch_channels() wakes

Channel changes from web:

PUT /config/channels
  → config.save_runtime_config()
  → bus.signal_channel_changed()   ← uses stored loop + event
       → bot thread's _watch_channels() wakes
