Mealie stores the literal string "no image" in the recipe's image field when
there is no cover, so bool(recipe["image"]) reported a cover that is not
there: the check meant to catch a missing image downgraded to a warning
instead of failing. Observed on a recipe created through Mealie's own image
import, which returned image: "no image".

Recipes imported from a video caption have no nutrition data, so the values
have to be estimated. Mealie will accept anything: the fields are free-text
strings, a misspelt key is dropped silently, and a whole-recipe total looks
exactly like a per-serving one. The recipe page then renders whatever landed
as fact.
patch_recipe now validates a nutrition block first. Keys must be Mealie's own,
so a number cannot vanish into "carbs". Values are normalized to bare numbers,
matching how the library already stores them. Energy is checked against the
macros with the Atwater factors (4/9/4 kcal per gram) and refused if it is
more than 25% off, which is what catches an arithmetic slip.
Nutrition is per serving, and the text import left recipeServings at 0 --- it
set only the free-text recipeYield, so "4-6 personer" gave Mealie no number to
divide by or scale with. import_recipe_text now also sets recipeServings, from
the lower bound of a range, which is how this library already stores
"10-12 personer" (recipeServings 10). patch_recipe refuses nutrition while the
count is still missing, and accepts it when the same patch supplies it.
verify_recipe fails an import that has no nutrition, or has values without a
serving count.

Ports a working Hermes agent skill to an MCP server. The skill's value was not
its Mealie endpoints but ~25 operational rules found by running imports against
the live instance; those are now code with tests rather than prompt text.
The server owns deterministic mechanics — auth, the non-default User-Agent
Cloudflare requires, the `extension` field on cover uploads, PATCH instead of
the 500-ing bulk-action endpoints, decimal-comma normalization, and restoring
Swedish display text after parsing. Language and taste judgement stay with the
model, fed by the four reference notes shipped as MCP resources.
verify_recipe runs the finished-import definition as code so an agent cannot
report success on a recipe with an English ingredient line, a missing cover, or
ingredients still in the "Click Parse" state.
Home Assistant is optional and isolated; the Obsidian meal plan is out of scope.
