docs: add system settings API documentation and update user list docs

System Settings API Documentation (new):
- docs/developer/api/system/settings.md
- Document GET /api/libraries/scan-settings endpoint
- Document PUT /api/libraries/scan-settings endpoint
- Include request/response examples
- Document validation rules and error codes
- Include migration notes from per-user to system-wide

User List API Documentation (update):
- docs/developer/api/admin/list_users.md
- Add max_devices field to response
- Add device_count field to response
- Include complete response field descriptions table
- Update example to show new fields

Documentation covers both the new system-wide scan settings feature
and the enhanced user list with device monitoring capabilities.

# System Scan Settings API
## Overview
The System Scan Settings API allows administrators to configure system-wide scan settings that apply to all libraries. These settings control the automatic scanning behavior for the entire Bookhoard system.
**Base URL**: `/api/libraries`
**Authentication**: Admin JWT token required
**Content-Type**: `application/json`
---
## Endpoints
### Get System Scan Settings
Retrieve the current system-wide scan settings.
**Endpoint**: `GET /api/libraries/scan-settings`
**Authentication**: Admin role required
**Response**:
- **200 OK**: Returns current scan settings
- **401 Unauthorized**: Invalid or missing authentication
- **403 Forbidden**: User does not have admin role
- **500 Internal Server Error**: Server error
**Response Body**:
```json
{
"scan_frequency_minutes": 60,
"auto_scan_enabled": true
}
```
**Fields**:
- `scan_frequency_minutes` (integer): How often to scan all libraries in minutes (15-1440)
- `auto_scan_enabled` (boolean): Whether auto-scanning is enabled system-wide
**Example**:
```bash
curl -X GET https://bookhoard.example.com/api/libraries/scan-settings \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <admin_token>"
```
---
### Update System Scan Settings
Update the system-wide scan settings.
**Endpoint**: `PUT /api/libraries/scan-settings`
**Authentication**: Admin role required
**Request Body**:
```json
{
"scan_frequency_minutes": 30,
"auto_scan_enabled": true
}
```
**Fields**:
- `scan_frequency_minutes` (integer, required): How often to scan all libraries in minutes
- Minimum: 15 (15 minutes)
- Maximum: 1440 (24 hours)
- Default: 60
- `auto_scan_enabled` (boolean, required): Whether auto-scanning is enabled system-wide
- Default: true
**Response**:
- **200 OK**: Settings updated successfully
- **400 Bad Request**: Invalid request parameters
- **401 Unauthorized**: Invalid or missing authentication
- **403 Forbidden**: User does not have admin role
- **500 Internal Server Error**: Server error
**Success Response Body**:
```json
{
"scan_frequency_minutes": 30,
"auto_scan_enabled": true,
"message": "scan settings updated successfully"
}
```
**Error Response Body**:
```json
{
"error": "error message"
}
```
**Validation Rules**:
- `scan_frequency_minutes` must be between 15 and 1440 minutes
- Both fields are required
**Example**:
```bash
curl -X PUT https://bookhoard.example.com/api/libraries/scan-settings \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <admin_token>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"scan_frequency_minutes": 30,
"auto_scan_enabled": true
}'
```

## Behavior
### Scan Frequency
The `scan_frequency_minutes` setting determines how often the system will automatically scan all libraries for new media files. The scheduler will trigger scans for all libraries at the configured interval.
**Constraints**:
- Minimum: 15 minutes (to prevent excessive scanning)
- Maximum: 1440 minutes (24 hours)
- Default: 60 minutes (1 hour)
### Auto-Scan Toggle
The `auto_scan_enabled` setting acts as a master switch for automatic scanning:
- When `true`: All libraries will be scanned automatically at the configured interval
- When `false`: No automatic scans will occur (manual scans still available)
### System-Wide Scope
These settings apply to **all libraries** in the system. Individual users can no longer configure per-user scan settings. This ensures consistent scanning behavior across the entire Bookhoard instance.

## Error Codes
| Status Code | Error Description |
|-------------|-------------------|
| 400 | Invalid request parameters (e.g., frequency outside range) |
| 401 | Missing or invalid JWT token |
| 403 | User lacks admin role |
| 500 | Internal server error (e.g., database connection issue) |
---
## Related Endpoints
- `POST /api/libraries/{id}/scan` - Manually trigger a scan for a specific library (admin only)
- `GET /api/libraries` - List all libraries
- `GET /api/libraries/{id}` - Get details for a specific library
---
## Migration Notes
This API replaces the previous per-user scan settings system. The following changes were made:
- **Removed**: Per-user scan settings (previously in users table)
- **Added**: System-wide scan settings (now in system_settings table)
- **Changed**: Access control from user-specific to admin-only
- **Preserved**: Endpoint paths remain the same for backward compatibility
The migration ensures that:
1. All libraries scan at the same frequency
2. Only administrators can modify scan settings
3. The API endpoints remain unchanged for existing clients
4. The scheduler uses system-wide settings instead of user-specific settings
