Root cause of the recurring "kein Filecode — Server gab leeren Link zurueck":
the web-session upload flow gets the filecode back inside an XFileSharing HTML
form, and on long/large uploads that form comes back empty (no fn). Verified
research: doodstream's server-side file-registration callback times out under
large-file load, so the upload "succeeds" (bytes sent, HTTP 200) but no filecode
is minted — and because registration failed, the file is NOT in the file list
either, so polling can't recover it. The web path also rides a per-page-load
sess_id token that ages over the multi-minute upload.
The official doodapi.co JSON API has no such failure mode for result retrieval:
the upload response returns result[0].filecode directly, and it authenticates
with a persistent api_key (no aging sess_id). Git history confirms the API was
doodstream's ORIGINAL upload path (initial commit); web login was added later
only "as an alternative to API key" — so preferring the key restores the
intended primary path rather than fighting a deliberate choice.
- lib/account-auth.js (new, pure, unit-tested): selectUploadAuth() prefers the
doodstream API key over username/password; all other hosters unchanged.
- main.js buildTaskFromAccount delegates to it → a doodstream account with an
apiKey now routes through hosters.uploadFile (doodapi API) instead of the web
uploader; keyless accounts keep using web login.
- hosters.js: drop the stale hardcoded fallback node from the doodstream API
config (same dead tr1128ve host removed from the web path) so a failed server
lookup throws cleanly instead of uploading into a dead end.
- Tests: 8 routing cases (doodstream key-preference, keyless fallback, voe
unaffected, authType=api, null-safety). Full suite 173/173.
This eliminates the empty-form failure mode for result retrieval when a key is
configured. It does NOT change doodstream's backend — whether the large-file
timeout recurs (now as a structured JSON error, not a silent empty form) is for
the server run to confirm. Requires a doodstream API key on the account.
