conformdiff records and compares protocol responses and checks offline reference drift.

Command ether runs the Ether media server: a TMDB catalogue with on-demand streaming from owner-configured Usenet and debrid sources.

Command ether-livebench measures time-to-playable against real services: it resolves a title over the owner's indexers and Usenet providers, opens it, reads the first bytes, seeks, and probes it.

Command ether-release-sign manages Ether's release-signing keys and signs update manifests.

ether-repairbench performs explicitly invoked live experiments; ordinary Go tests remain offline.

Command ether-transcodebench measures Ether's real transcode.Manager (probe, explicit decision, simultaneous HLS sessions consumed through ServeSegment) against a local fixture served over loopback range HTTP.

Command ether-tray is Ether's tray / menu-bar companion: it shows server status, opens the web UI, starts/stops the service, checks the signed update feed (notify only: the server installs updates itself) and can launch at login.

Command etherperf measures Ether the way clients use it: it copies a real data directory, starts a real Ether process on it with outbound network blocked, replays each client's request sequence (Plex, Jellyfin and Emby apps including Infuse, Silo, Stremio and the owner console) cold, warm, under concurrent viewers and beside a busy catalogue writer, and reports every endpoint against its latency budget together with the database work the server did for it.

Command plexparity compares Plex responses using disposable offline fixtures.

Scorecard measures explicitly configured, read-only HTTP requests against two servers.

usenetbench generates a deterministic local NNTP fixture and downloads it through Ether's production fetcher or streaming engine.
