# Verification Report: Server-Side Features (Batches 5–9)

## 1. Deduplication + Hash Blacklist (Batch 8)
**File:** `crates/cgcx-file-pipeline/src/lib.rs`

| Check | Status | Line(s) | Notes |
|-------|--------|---------|-------|
| `plaintext_hash` computed during encryption | **PASS** | ~69, ~89, ~95 | `blake3::Hasher` updated in the encryption loop; finalized after the stream is complete. |
| `find_active_by_plaintext_hash` checked before storing new files | **PASS** | ~103 | Deduplication lookup occurs after blacklist check and before persisting to disk. |
| `HashBlacklistRepo::contains` checked and returns `BlockedHash` | **PASS** | ~99–101 | Blacklist is enforced *before* deduplication. On match, temp file is dropped and `CgcxError::BlockedHash` is returned. |

**No issues found.** The order (blacklist → dedup → persist) is correct and safe.

## 2. View-Count / Raw-File Fix (Batch 4 Follow-Up)
**File:** `crates/cgcx-server/src/main.rs`

| Check | Status | Line(s) | Notes |
|-------|--------|---------|-------|
| `serve_raw_file` increments views correctly | **PASS** | ~996 | Diff confirms `method: Method` parameter was added; view increment is guarded by `if !is_head` (same pattern as `serve_file` at line ~825). |

**No issues found.** `serve_raw_file` now mirrors `serve_file`’s view-counting behavior, including the 30-second delayed cleanup when `max_views` is reached.

---

## 3. Metadata / Author Visibility (Batch 7)
**File:** `crates/cgcx-server/src/main.rs`

| Check | Status | Line(s) | Notes |
|-------|--------|---------|-------|
| `get_metadata` returns `author` only when `show_author` is true | **PASS** | ~530–543 | `author` is set to `Some(AuthorInfo { ... })` only when `content.show_author` is `true`; otherwise `None`. |

**No issues found.** The `ContentMetadata` struct also includes the new `total_size` field (line ~556).
