docs: Incorporate old Phase 1 features into Phase 0.5

Incorporates all old Phase 1 job queue concurrency control features
into Phase 0.5 to fix fsnotify reliability issues comprehensively.

Features Added from Old Phase 1:
- Job queue for all directory scans (serialized by worker pool)
- JobTypeSetFolders: Async folder configuration via job queue
- processSetFoldersJob() handler
- Test isolation: Snapshot/restore system_settings
- Fix GetPollInterval() default value: 30s → 60s (matches handler/schema)
- Fix test expectation: 60 → 300 (5 min polling interval)

Critical Fixes:
- File stability race condition: Uses atomic.Bool to prevent concurrent checks
- Double-unlock bug: Removed defer unlock, use explicit cleanup only
- Unbounded goroutine spawn: Job queue serializes scans (no semaphore needed)
- activeScans inconsistency: Removed (job queue handles concurrency)
- Worker constructor conflicts: Use Phase 4's signature (db parameter)

Concurrency Control (Job Queue Approach):
- All directory scans submitted as jobs to worker pool
- Worker pool serializes scans naturally (no concurrent access)
- No unbounded goroutine spawn (worker limits concurrency)
- Atomic file stability checks prevent duplicate entries
- No race conditions in fileStability map
- No memory leaks from orphaned map entries

Phase 0.5 Time Estimate: 3-4 hours (was 2-3 hours)
- Added JobTypeSetFolders integration
- Added test isolation implementation
- Fixed all critical issues (double-unlock, race conditions, etc.)

This plan now incorporates the best of both approaches:
- Directory-based watching (Jellyfin)
- File stability checks (Audiobookshelf)
- Job queue concurrency control (old Phase 1)

+### Step 0.5.3.6: Add processSetFoldersJob Handler
+**File**: `internal/services/worker.go`
+
+**Location**: In the switch statement in `processJob()` (around line 127-132)
+
+**Current code**:
+```go
+switch job.Type {
+case JobTypeScan:
+    result, err = w.processScanJob(job)
+default:
+    err = fmt.Errorf("unknown job type: %s", job.Type)

+    // Extract parameters
+    foldersParam, ok := job.Params["folders"]
+    if !ok {

+**Why**:
+- Makes SetFolders() async via job queue
+- Non-blocking API responses
+- Folder changes wait behind scans naturally
+- User gets job ID for status tracking
+- No deadlocks or blocking

 - Smart event merging: consolidate parent/sibling/subpath (Jellyfin approach)
 - 10-second batch delay for processing (Audiobookshelf approach)

-Concurrency Fixes:
+FIX:
-- Semaphore prevents unbounded goroutine spawn (limits to 10 concurrent scans)
+- waitForFileStability() no longer has double-unlock bug
-- activeScans map prevents concurrent scans of same directory
+- File stability uses atomic.Bool to prevent race conditions
-- fileStability proper lock pattern prevents race conditions
+- Default value fixed: GetPollInterval() returns 60s (was 30s)
-- All map entries cleaned up on success, timeout, or error (no memory leaks)
+- Test expectation fixed: 60 → 300 (5 min polling interval)
-- Graceful shutdown waits for active scans or times out after 5 seconds
+- Integration test timing: 5s → 12s (accounts for batch + processing)
+
+Concurrency Control:
+- Job queue serializes all directory scans (no concurrent access)
+- No unbounded goroutine spawn (worker pool limits concurrency)
+- Atomic file stability checks prevent duplicate entries
+- No race conditions in fileStability map
+- No memory leaks from orphaned map entries
+- Folder configuration is async (non-blocking API)
 
 Tests:
 - Unit: TestMarkDirectoryDirty, TestProcessDirtyDirectories,
-        TestWaitForFileStability, TestSmartEventMerging,
+        TestWaitForFileStability, TestSmartEventMerging
-        TestSiblingConsolidation
+- Integration: TestFSNotify_BulkFileDetection (20 files, 12s wait)
-- Integration: TestFSNotify_BulkFileDetection (20 files)
+- Test Isolation: Snapshot/restore system_settings in setupTestServer()
+- Test Expectation: Fixed to match 300s default polling interval
 
 Benefits:
 - No event queue overflow (directory watching eliminates per-file events)
 - Reliable bulk import with file stability checks
 - Delete detection via polling
 - Smart event consolidation reduces redundant scans
-- Concurrent scans limited to 10 (prevents resource exhaustion)
+- Job queue prevents concurrent scans (serialized by worker pool)
-- No race conditions in fileStability map
+- No race conditions in fileStability map (atomic operations)
-- No memory leaks from orphaned map entries
+- No memory leaks from orphaned map entries (proper cleanup)
+- No unbounded goroutine spawn (worker pool limits)
 - Works on Docker, network mounts
-- Initial scan ensures existing files are detected"
+- Test isolation preserves dev database state
+- Consistent default values across all components
