Two refinements to the librarian health/delivery story, matching how it
actually behaves under load:
1. Busy-aware ping (case b - broken return path). A ping arriving while
the worker is grinding a search no longer queues behind it (which made
a healthy-but-busy librarian time out and look dead). The librarian
tracks worker_busy and, when set, pongs back IMMEDIATELY without
touching the queue. Being busy is fine - you can keep piling searches
on. The ping still travels the librarian->bot return path, so it keeps
catching the one thing it must: a disrupted/incompatible return path
where queries vanish. Idle pings still go through the internal queue.
2. Per-query watchdog (case a - finished but result lost). The librarian
now tracks every search uuid's lifecycle (queued -> processing ->
gone) in active_queries, exposed via a new POST /query_status. After
dispatching a search the bot records it in self.pending; watch_pending
polls /query_status for each. While the librarian still knows the uuid
the search is progressing - left alone. The moment a uuid VANISHES
there while still pending on the bot, its result was computed but never
delivered: after a grace window (to rule out an in-flight result) the
bot posts a notice to the channel - but ONLY then. A normally delivered
result is popped from self.pending by check_data_q and never flagged.
Hardening: the worker's search body is now wrapped in try/except/finally
so a crashing search can't kill the worker thread (which would freeze the
queue), and worker_busy / active_queries are always cleared. The grace
logic lives in a dependency-free librarian_watchdog.pending_verdict so it
is unit-testable without discord/pdf libs. /ping and /query_status are
plain (sync) views so they run without flask[async].
Tests: unit test_librarian_watchdog (verdict transitions); integration
test_librarian_query_lifecycle (query_status known/unknown + auth,
idle-ping-queues, busy-ping-pongs-directly). Suite: 28 integration + 48
unit green.

The librarian health check was a plain GET to '/', which only proved
Flask was listening - not that the service could actually take a query,
run it through its internal queue+worker, and answer back. So the cog
could load against a librarian whose worker was wedged or that couldn't
reach the bot on the return leg.
Replace it with a ping that travels the SAME path a real search does, on
both sides:
bot: QueryControl -> OUT_COMM_Q -> scan_queue -> awaiting_q
librarian: POST /ping -> librarian_queue -> worker pulls it off
(no Crossref/DOI search) -> pongs back with the same uuid
bot: /conjurer -> incoming_q -> scan_incoming matches uuid, wakes waiter
The cog enables only when that whole loop closes within 3s. This also
proves the librarian->bot return path, which a GET never did.
Safety: uuid is random per ping; the wait and POST are both bounded so
startup can't stall; a pong that finds no waiter is dropped (never
orphaned into IN_COMM_Q, which would make the cog post a bogus 'no
results' message); and a ping whose pong never returns is swept out of
awaiting_q after PING_TTL_SECONDS so nothing leaks. All awaiting_q writes
stay within scan_queue (append) and scan_incoming (remove) - no locks,
no cross-thread mutation.
Integration tests cover: OK round-trip, timeout when accepted-but-no-pong,
unreachable, non-200, orphan-pong-dropped, and that real results still
reach IN_COMM_Q. Suite: 24 integration + 41 unit green.

Two field-reported robustness gaps on top of the hang fix.
1) A stray non-UTF-8 byte in a chunk (0x96 in the report) raised
UnicodeDecodeError from readline() - which is a ValueError, so the earlier
`except OSError` did NOT catch it. The finally-sentinel meant no hang, but the
producer died mid-file with a loud traceback and every DOI after the bad byte
went unsearched. Now chunks are opened with errors="replace" (bad bytes become
U+FFFD; DOIs are ASCII so a match is never affected) so the read runs to EOF,
and the producer's except is broadened from OSError to Exception so no per-file
error can ever crash the thread - it's logged and the sentinel still fires.
2) The result-send back to the bot (BackgroundTaskSearch._run) now logs exactly
what goes out - target URL, uuid, DOI count and the DOI list - so the librarian
log plainly shows a result was sent and what was in it. And a failed POST is no
longer fatal: a RequestException used to propagate out of the worker loop and
kill the thread, stalling every future query until restart; it's now caught and
logged, and a non-200 from the bot is logged as a warning.
Verified: tests/unit/test_search_bot.py gains a case writing a chunk with a 0x96
byte before a valid DOI and asserting that DOI is still found (file read to
completion, not aborted). All 5 search_bot unit tests pass.

(Re-applied cleanly on top of main: PR #18 was rebase-merged, so the branch
that became #19 conflicted on the already-landed commits. This carries ONLY
the librarian state fix - the sole content difference between that branch
and main - so nothing else is touched or lost.)
The worker threads open cr_results/rr_results/not_in_db/s_results.json in
place ('r+'), crashing with FileNotFoundError in a fresh container. New
conjurer_librarian/lib_paths.py resolves all four under a persistent dir
(CONJURER_LIBRARIAN_STATE_DIR, default /lib_temp_files) and seeds missing
ones with '{}' on import; shared by conjurer_librarian.py and scrape_bot.py
(no circular import). ndb_database/database initialised to {} before load so
a corrupt persisted file degrades to empty instead of NameError. search_bot
/search_bot2 open the DOI DB 'r' not 'r+' so /doi can stay read-only. Docker:
STATE_DIR env + VOLUME, compose mounts /srv/librarian/state:/lib_temp_files.
