No options found for group

Error message

No options found for group: ${groupId}, cannot resume.

What it means

resumeAllGroups iterates all groups in paused state and restarts their downloads using stored options. If a paused group has no persisted options, it logs a warning 'No options found for group: ${groupId}, cannot resume.' via console.warn and continues — it does not throw and does not abort other groups.

Solutions

1. Persist download options alongside group state so paused groups survive restarts with their options.
2. When clearing/pruning options, also move the group out of paused state (e.g. back to idle) so resumeAllGroups skips it.
3. Check the console warning's groupId and re-create the download for that group manually with fresh options.
4. In the UI, hide the resume-all button or exclude groups lacking options.

Example fix

// before
const options = optionsStore.getOptions(groupId);
if (!options) { console.warn(...); continue; }
// after
const options = optionsStore.getOptions(groupId);
if (!options) {
  stateStore.setGroupState(groupId, MediaState.idle); // resync state
  continue;
}

const state = stateStore.getGroupState(groupId);
const options = optionsStore.getOptions(groupId);
if (state === MediaState.paused && !options) {
  stateStore.setGroupState(groupId, MediaState.idle); // cannot resume
}

const isResumable = (groupId: string): boolean => {
  const s = stateStore.getGroupState(groupId);
  return (s === MediaState.paused || s === MediaState.pausedList) && !!optionsStore.getOptions(groupId);
};

// Non-throwing by design: filter to resumable groups before acting.
for (const groupId of groupStore.groupOrder.filter(isResumable)) {
  void downloadGroup(groupId, optionsStore.getOptions(groupId)!);
}

When it happens

Trigger: A group is in MediaState.paused/pausedList but optionsStore.getOptions(groupId) returns undefined — options were cleared on app restart (not persisted), the group was created without options, or options were pruned while state remained paused.

Common situations: Resuming after an app relaunch where download options are session-only; clearing option overrides elsewhere in the UI while leaving the group paused; a partially initialized group that reached paused state without ever starting.
