Independent application with evidence.
Module: Sonarr & Radarr
Activity type: Homework / independent application
Objective: Explain the difference between a quality definition, quality profile, custom format, and release score.
Create a second profile design on paper or as /opt/lab-classroom/class42/config/homework-profile.json that allows 720p and 1080p releases but stops quality upgrades at WEBDL-1080p.
Add one simulated candidate with an allowed quality but a score below the minimum. Predict the rejection reason before running the decision script.
Add two candidates of the same quality with different custom-format scores and explain which candidate the class model selects.
Document three real-world custom formats you would consider useful and state whether each should receive a positive, zero, or negative score. Do not assign arbitrary production values without reviewing release-policy requirements.
Draw the path seen by a download client, the path seen by Sonarr, and the final library path for a containerized deployment. Identify whether a remote path mapping would be necessary.
Write a short incident checklist for a completed download that is stuck in Sonarr's activity queue.
