+# AGENTS.md — Bookhoard server
+
+Standing rules for any agent or developer working in this repo.
+Project-wide context lives in the sibling repos' AGENTS.md files
+(../bookhoard-app/AGENTS.md is the Android client's).
+
+## Library visibility (family-lens rule) — ALWAYS apply
+
+Per-user library visibility (`library_visibility` table, default-ALLOW:
+every user sees every library unless an admin hides one) must be
+enforced on **every endpoint that returns media metadata or content**.
+It is NOT automatic — enforcement is per-handler.
+
+- **New endpoints that list/filter media or series** MUST filter by the
+  requesting user's visible-library set, and MUST reject an explicit
+  `library_id` outside that set with 403 (never silently pass).
+- Helpers (do not hand-roll):
+  - `handlers`: `(*MediaHandler).visibleLibrarySet` /
+    `(*SeriesHandler).visibleLibrarySet` — membership map + id slice.
+  - `router`: `visibleLibraryIDsFor` — same for SSR routes.
+  - `resolveLibrary` (helpers.go) only honors requested library ids
+    inside the visible set.
+- SQL pattern: `AND (sqlc.narg('visible_library_ids')::uuid[] IS NULL OR
+  library_id = ANY(sqlc.narg('visible_library_ids')::uuid[]))` — see
+  `ListMediaItems`, `GetDistinctSeries`, `SearchMediaItems`.
+- Content endpoints (file bytes, page images) additionally gate per item
+  like `ReaderHandler.ensureItemVisible` / the download endpoint.
+- Tests must pin visibility: hidden library → 403 on the endpoint, and
+  absent from unscoped aggregates.
+
+History: 2026-10-13 (`431fec0`) the series/media listing surfaces
+leaked hidden libraries to any authenticated account — series endpoints
+were name-only across ALL libraries. Fixed; do not regress.
+
+## Tests
+
+- Use `setupTestServer()` from `cmd/server/tests/test_helpers_test.go`
+  (see the Conventions section below for the pool/cleanup rules).
+- Integration tests run against the SHARED dev database: never write
+  destructive SQL without preserving the dev rows (libraries Manga/
+  Comics/Ebooks, testuser's annotations and progress are real data).
+- Test-created users must use `@tests.bookhoard.internal` or
+  `@example.com` emails and "test"-named collections/libraries so the
+  harness cleanup can find them.
+- **NEVER rename or edit the shared admin (`testuser`) in tests** — a
+  renamed admin escapes the cleanup preserve-list and cascades real
+  data (this wiped the dev annotations once; see user_test.go
+  TestUpdateProfileSelfEdit for the dedicated-user pattern).
+
+## Timezones
+
+- The server owns display conversion: clients send instants (RFC3339),
+  the server renders in the requesting user's timezone.
+- Use `utils.FormatTimeInTimezone` / `utils.UserLocation` — never
+  `time.Now().Format(...)` bare (that is server-UTC).
+- Analytics day-buckets must bucket in the user's timezone
+  (`CreatedAt.In(loc)`), and date-range end bounds must be end-of-day.
+
+## Conventions (absorbed from the retired PROJECT_GUIDELINES.md —
+## only the rules that still matched reality)
+
+- **Runtime is Docker** (Makefile auto-detects docker, falls back to
+  podman). The old "podman only" rule is dead.
+- **The server binary is only built inside the Docker build**
+  (`make rebuild-app`); host-side Go builds are for tests/vet only.
+- **Schema changes go in place** — edit `database/schema/schema.sql`,
+  never create migration files, until a release splits them.
+- **Business logic lives in services**, not handlers; handlers parse
+  requests and call services (all DB access goes through services).
+- **Integration tests**: one `setupTestServer()` per test function;
+  test pools use `max_conns=1`; never create a `pgxpool` per subtest
+  (connection exhaustion); use `t.Cleanup()`-based helpers; table-driven
+  subtests over duplicate functions.

-# Combined Project Guidelines for Bookhoard
-
-## 🚨 CRITICAL PROHIBITIONS (Never violate these)
-
-### Backend & Database
-
-- ❌ **NEVER modify backend code when working on frontend-only tasks*
-- ❌ **NEVER modify database schema** unless explicitly instructed for full-stack changes
-- ❌ **NEVER use Docker** - use Podman only
-- ❌ **NEVER build server binaries locally** - all builds through Dockerfile/docker-compose
-- ❌ **NEVER create new migration files** - merge changes into current one until release
-- ❌ **NEVER use `git checkout` on schema files** without checking what will be lost
-- ❌ **NEVER break existing functionality** unless explicitly instructed
-- ❌ **NEVER duplicate business logic** - keep logic in services, not handlers
-- ❌ **NEVER bypass service layer** - all database operations must go through services
-
-### Testing
-
-- ✅ **ALWAYS use `setupTestServer()` helper from `cmd/server/tests/test_helpers_test.go`*
-- ✅ **Share one test setup across all subtests** - call `setupTestServer()` once at test function level, not per subtest
-- ✅ **Prefer table-driven tests** - use `t.Run()` with test cases instead of duplicate test functions
-- ✅ **Configure database pools efficiently** - use `max_conns=1` for test pools (via `pgxpool.ParseConfig()`) to prevent connection exhaustion
-- ❌ **NEVER create separate `pgxpool` per test** - each pool creates 4 connections by default; 78 tests = 312 potential connections > PostgreSQL's 100 limit
-- ❌ **NEVER call `setupTestServer()` in loops or within subtests** - creates unnecessary database pools and exhausts connections
-- ✅ **DO verify tests pass** - run full test suite before completing work
-- ✅ **Use `t.Cleanup()` properly** - the `TestServerSetup` pattern automatically handles cleanup via `t.Cleanup()`
-
-### Frontend & Styling
-
-- ❌ **NEVER modify backend/API for frontend features without user confirmation*
-- ❌ **NEVER use custom CSS** - TailwindCSS classes only
-  - **⚠️ EXCEPTION**: `templates/error.templ` may have inline CSS because error pages must work when main app fails (404, server errors, CSS fails to load)
-- ❌ **NEVER use JavaScript** - convert all to TypeScript
-  - **⚠️ EXCEPTION**: Inline JS function calls in HTML attributes (e.g., `onclick="myFunction()"`) are acceptable for simple interactions
-- ❌ **NEVER use Object-Oriented Programming** (no classes, inheritance, or this-capture)
-- ✅ **DO use procedural/imperative style** as your default
-- ✅ **DO borrow functional techniques** when they simplify code
-- ✅ **DO avoid ideological purity** - the best paradigm is the one that fits the problem
-- ❌ **NEVER add new Dockerfiles without user confirmation*
-- ❌ **NEVER fetch initial data via AJAX on page load** - use server-side rendering instead
-- ❌ **NEVER break progressive enhancement** - pages must work without JavaScript
-
-**Note:** Go methods in the backend are fine and encouraged. This guideline applies to TypeScript/JavaScript frontend code only.
-
-### General
-
-- ❌ **NEVER skip pre-commit hooks** unless explicitly requested
-- ❌ **NEVER force push to main/master** branches
-- ❌ **NEVER commit files with secrets** (.env, credentials.json, etc.)
-- ❌ **NEVER make assumptions** - ask clarifying questions when uncertain
-- ❌ **NEVER delete code without reading full context first** (minimum 20 lines before/after)
-- ❌ **NEVER make cascading fix-up edits without git diff review*
-  - After compilation error: STOP, review `git diff`, understand full impact
-  - Use revert/reapply pattern instead of blind fixes
-- ❌ **NEVER skip post-edit verification** - must compile after each file edit
-- ❌ **NEVER run git commands concurrently** - always run sequentially:
-  - Run `git add <files>` and wait for completion
-  - Run `git commit -m "<message>"` and wait for completion
-  - Run `git push` and wait for completion
-  - Never use `&&` to chain git commands together
-- ✅ **Make good organized git commits for the entire project (not just what you changed) and push - run git add, commit, push sequentially as separate commands, no need to repeatedly check status*
-- ✅ **Indentation is always 2 spaces unless the language prohibits it*
-
-### Cascading Fix-up Pattern (PROHIBITED)
-
-**WHAT NOT TO DO** - This caused critical bugs:
-
-```go
-// ❌ WRONG: Blindly making fixes after compilation error
-
-Edit 1: Delete deprecated code
-[Compilation error: undefined Register]
-
-Edit 2: Try to fix error (over-broad deletion)
-[More errors: undefined Login, GetProfile, etc.]
-
-Edit 3: Try to fix again (worse damage)
-[Even more errors: major functionality broken]
-```
-
-**CORRECT APPROACH**:
-
-```go
-// ✅ CORRECT: Stop, understand, then fix deliberately
-
-Edit 1: Delete deprecated code
-[Compilation error: undefined Register]
-
-STOP → Review git diff → Understand Register was accidentally deleted
-RESTORE → Get exact Register function from git history
-VERIFY → Compile successfully
-```
-
-**Key Principle**: When compilation errors occur after edits:
-
-1. STOP - Don't make more edits
-2. ANALYZE - Use `git diff` to understand what was changed
-3. RECOVER - Restore what was accidentally deleted/broken
-4. VERIFY - Compile and test before proceeding

-## 🎯 CONTEXT-SPECIFIC RULES
-
-### When Working on Frontend-Only Tasks
-
-- **DO NOT touch backend code** - handlers, services, database layer
-- **DO NOT modify API routes** - use existing endpoints only
-- **DO NOT change database schema** - work with existing structure
-- **If backend change seems necessary**:
-  1. Identify the required change
-  2. Explain why you need it
-  3. Provide impact analysis
-  4. **ASK FOR USER CONFIRMATION before proceeding*
-
-### When Working on Full-Stack Tasks
-
-- Backend changes are allowed when explicitly part of the task
-- Still follow all database protocols (atomic changes, validation, etc.)
-- **If modifying database schema:** Update local database after schema.sql changes (see Database Operations section)
-- Still use Podman for all builds
-- Still include Bruno requests for API changes
-
----
-
-## ✅ MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS
-
-### Database Operations (Full-Stack Tasks Only)
-
-- ✅ Follow **pgx v5 standards** for all database operations
-- ✅ Treat schema changes as **ATOMIC** - complete success or complete rejection
-- ✅ **⚠️ CRITICAL: This is a pre-production application (NO production deployments exist)*
-  - When `database/schema/schema.sql` is updated, local databases must be updated
-  - **Option 1 (Recommended):** Recreate database with fresh schema:
-    ```bash
-    podman compose down -v  # Delete volumes (WARNING: loses all data)
-    podman compose up -d    # Start fresh with new schema
-    ```
-  - **Option 2:** Manually apply schema changes to existing database using psql
-  - **DO NOT create migration files** - no legacy schema support needed
-- ✅ Use **pre-change checklist**: read schema → identify columns → plan changes → verify → read back
-- ✅ **Post-change validation**: ensure schema.sql, models.go, and queries.sql are in sync
-
-### Build & Deployment
-
-- ✅ Use **Podman** exclusively (not Docker)
-- ✅ All builds through existing **Dockerfile** and **docker-compose.yml*
-- ✅ Stop building server binaries - everything goes through containers
-
-### API Changes (Full-Stack Tasks Only)
-
-- ✅ Include **Bruno OpenCollection YAML requests** with all API documentation
-- ✅ Integration Tests (cmd/server/tests) must be **comprehensive and cover three contexts**: no user, user, and admin
-- ✅ Maintain backward compatibility for mobile apps and external consumers
-
-### Frontend & Styling
-
-- ✅ Always use **TailwindCSS classes** for all styling
-- ✅ Convert all JavaScript to **TypeScript**
-- ✅ **Never use Object-Oriented Programming** (no classes, inheritance, or this-capture)
-- ✅ **Use procedural/imperative style** as your default
-- ✅ **Borrow functional techniques** when they simplify code
-- ✅ **Avoid ideological purity** - the best paradigm is the one that fits the problem
-- ✅ **Extract domain concepts/types only when clearly beneficial** - apply YAGNI, avoid over-engineering
-- ✅ **Render initial data server-side** in Go templates for fast page loads
-- ✅ **Use JavaScript/HTMX for CRUD operations** (create, update, delete)
-- ✅ **Ensure progressive enhancement** - pages work without JavaScript
-
-### Service Layer Architecture
-
-- ✅ **All business logic in services** - never in handlers
-- ✅ **Services must be reusable** by both SSR handlers and API endpoints
-- ✅ **Database operations through services only** - never direct from handlers
-- ✅ **When adding features**: Add service logic → Create API endpoint → Use SSR for initial render → Use JS for updates
-
-### Code Organization
-
-- ✅ Minimize project structure changes
-- ✅ Place new files in **contextually appropriate directories*
-- ✅ Follow **KISS**, **DRY**, and **YAGNI** principles
-- ✅ Use **multiple, logical git commits** with clear messages
-- ❌ **NEVER duplicate types between handlers and templates** - define data types in handlers, reuse directly in templates
-- ✅ **DO share handler types with templates** - templates should use handlers.CollectionData, handlers.BookInfo, etc. directly
-- ❌ **NEVER create parallel type systems** - no templates.XxxData types for data that originates from handlers
-- ✅ **DO enhance handler types with template-specific fields** when needed (e.g., add Icon, FormattedDate fields to handlers structs)
-- ✅ **DO keep template-only types in templates package** - PageData, UnsafeHTML, and template-specific utilities are appropriate
-- ❌ **NEVER create conversion helper functions** to map between handler and template types - use handler types directly
-
-### Configuration & Environment
-
-- ✅ If **.env is missing**, auto-generate secure values
-- ✅ Never commit secrets to repository
-
-### Code Modification Safety
-
-- ✅ **Post-Edit Verification (MANDATORY for ALL file modifications)**:
-  - Run `go build` for affected packages immediately after each edit
-  - Review `git diff filename` to verify only intended changes
-  - Validate functionality still works as expected
-  - Never proceed to next file until current edit is verified
-- ✅ **Backup Before Large Changes**:
-  - Create a stash: `git stash push -m "Pre-cleanup snapshot"` before removing >50 lines
-  - Or create a backup branch: `git branch backup-before-cleanup`
-  - This allows instant recovery if mistakes occur
-- ✅ **Large Deletion Safety Pattern**:
-  - Read at least 20 lines before/after deletion target
-  - Include unique identifiers in match (function signatures, specific comments)
-  - Use narrow matches - avoid generic patterns
-  - Verify line numbers match intended section
-
-### Documentation
-
-**Documentation Structure** (updated with full docs system):
-
-- ✅ **README.md** - Project overview, quick start, and setup instructions only
-- ✅ **docs/** - Comprehensive documentation system with search
-- ✅ **docs/developer/api/** - API reference documentation (split by endpoint/category)
-- ✅ **docs/user/** - User-facing features, guides, and workflows
-- ✅ **docs/user/devices/** - Device setup guides (KOBO, KOReader, etc.)
-- ✅ **docs/contributing/** - Development and contribution guides
-
-**Where to document changes**:
-
-| Change Type                         | Location                                                      | Examples                                                  |
-| ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **User-facing features**            | `docs/user/`                                                  | New features, UI changes, workflows                       |
-| **API endpoints**                   | `docs/developer/api/<category>/<endpoint>.md`                 | New endpoints, modified responses, authentication changes |
-| **API behavior**                    | Update existing `docs/developer/api/` files                   | Parameter changes, error codes, rate limits               |
-| **Device setup**                    | `docs/user/devices/`                                          | New device support, setup instructions                    |
-| **Development**                     | `docs/contributing/`                                          | Build changes, architecture decisions                     |
-| **Quick start/setup**               | `README.md`                                                   | Installation, environment setup, first-run                |
-| **Breaking changes**                | Both `README.md` and relevant `docs/`                         | Migration guides, deprecation notices                     |
-| **Bug fixes**                       | Update relevant `docs/` only if user-visible                  | Clarifications, troubleshooting additions                 |
-| **Bruno OpenCollection YAML requests** | `.yml` files in bruno folder in appropriate folder/sub-folder | API contract testing, examples                            |
-
-**Documentation Update Workflow**:
-
-1. **Identify the audience** (end users, developers, API consumers)
-2. **Choose appropriate location** based on table above
-3. **Update documentation** before or with code changes
-4. **Verify documentation renders** at `/docs` endpoint
-5. **Test search** finds new/updated content
-6. **For API changes**: Update both `docs/developer/api/` files, integration test files (cmd/server/tests) AND Bruno OpenCollection YAML `.yml` files
-7. **Commit separately** with clear message: `docs: <description>`
-
-**When in doubt**:
-
-- End-user visible → `docs/user/`
-- API reference → `docs/developer/api/`
-- Setup/onboarding → `README.md`
-- Development related → `docs/contributing/`
-
-### Process & Continuity
-
-- ✅ If mid-task and receive "no response", **continue the task*
-- ✅ Verify no regressions before modifying/removing code
-
----
-
-## 🔧 TECHNICAL STANDARDS
-
-### Backend Stack
-
-- **Language**: Go 1.25+
-- **Database**: PostgreSQL 15+ with **pgx v5 driver** only
-- **Authentication**: JWT tokens with bcrypt password hashing
-- **Architecture**: Service layer pattern (handlers → services → database)
-
-### Frontend Stack
-
-- **Rendering**: SSR-first - Go templates render initial page with all data
-- **Interactivity**: Alpine.js for UI state (modals, dropdowns, transitions)
-- **Dynamic Updates**: HTMX for CRUD operations (no full page reloads)
-- **Styling**: TailwindCSS (no custom CSS)
-- **Language**: TypeScript (no JavaScript)
-- **Patterns**: Procedural/imperative with functional techniques where helpful (no OOP)
-
-### SSR-First Principles
-
-- ❌ **NEVER fetch initial data via AJAX** - server renders complete page
-- ❌ **NEVER fetch data in Alpine x-init** - data already SSR'd
-- ✅ **Use Alpine.js only for UI state** - modal visibility, dropdown toggles
-- ✅ **Use HTMX for dynamic operations** - form submissions, partial page updates
-- ✅ **x-init is for setup only** - event listeners, not data fetching
-- ✅ **Data fetching happens after user actions** - not on page load
-
-### Page Type Classifications
-
-1. **Type 1: 80% SSR (most pages)**
-   - Backend provides all initial data
-   - Alpine handles modals/dropdowns only
-   - x-init NEVER fetches data
-
-2. **Type 2: SSR + Interactive (dashboard, bookshelf)**
-   - Backend provides initial data
-   - Alpine handles interactivity (drag-drop, filtering)
-   - x-init ONLY sets up event listeners
-
-3. **Type 3: 80% TypeScript (analytics, complex dashboards)**
-   - Some client-side data fetching acceptable
-   - Still prefer SSR when possible
-
-### Containerization
-
-- **Runtime**: Podman (not Docker)
-- **Build**: Existing Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml only
-- **No local builds** allowed
-
----
-
-## 🔄 ERROR RECOVERY PROTOCOL
-
-When code modification mistakes occur (deleted wrong code, broke compilation, etc.):
-
-### Immediate Actions
-
-1. **STOP** - Don't make more edits
-2. **ASSESS** - What was deleted? Is it critical?
-3. **REVIEW** - Run `git diff` to see exact changes
-4. **RESTORE** - Choose appropriate recovery method:
-   - **Recent mistake**: `git checkout -- filename`
-   - **Complex restoration**: Use `git show HEAD:filename` to recover deleted code
-   - **Multiple files**: `git reset HEAD~1` (if safe)
-5. **VERIFY** - Compile and test restored code
-6. **DOCUMENT** - Note what went wrong for future reference
-
-### Recovery Examples
-
-```bash
-# Recover a deleted function from original file
-git show HEAD:internal/handlers/auth.go | sed -n '70,275p' > recovery.txt
-
-# Revert entire file to original state
-git checkout HEAD -- internal/handlers/auth.go
-
-# Use git stash to save current state before rollback
-git stash push -m "Broken state before fix"
-git checkout -- internal/handlers/auth.go
-```
-
-### Prevention (Learn From Mistakes)
-
-- Why did the mistake happen?
-- Was it too-broad matching?
-- Was it insufficient context reading?
-- Was it cascading fix-up attempts?
-- Update guidelines to prevent recurrence
-
----
-
-## 📋 WORKFLOW CHECKLISTS
-
-### Before Making Frontend-Only Changes
-
-- [ ] Identify if backend modification could make implementation simpler
-- [ ] Plan to use existing API endpoints only
-- [ ] If backend change seems necessary, prepare confirmation request:
-  - Required change description
-  - Why it would help
-  - Impact analysis
-  - Alternative approaches considered
-- [ ] Plan git commit structure (multiple logical commits)
-- [ ] **Identify documentation location** (see Documentation section):
-  - [ ] User-facing feature → `docs/user/`
-  - [ ] UI/workflow changes → `docs/user/`
-  - [ ] Setup instructions → `README.md`
-
-### Before Making Full-Stack Changes
-
-- [ ] Read current schema completely (if database changes)
-- [ ] Identify all columns that must be preserved
-- [ ] Plan exact changes needed
-- [ ] Verify Podman will be used for builds
-- [ ] Plan git commit structure (multiple logical commits)
-- [ ] **Identify documentation location**:
-  - [ ] API changes → `docs/developer/api/<category>/`
-  - [ ] New endpoints → Create new `.md` file in `docs/developer/api/`
-  - [ ] API behavior → Update existing `docs/developer/api/` files
-  - [ ] Breaking changes → Both `README.md` + relevant `docs/`
-  - [ ] Bruno OpenCollection YAML `.yml` files → Update/create alongside API changes
-  - [ ] Integration tests (cmd/server/tests) → Update/create alongside API changes
-
-### During Schema Changes (Full-Stack Only)
-
-- [ ] Read current schema completely
-- [ ] Identify all columns that must be preserved
-- [ ] Plan exact changes needed
-- [ ] Set up verification step
-- [ ] Make intended changes
-- [ ] Immediately verify by reading back modified sections
-- [ ] Confirm ALL expected columns are present
-- [ ] Verify schema.sql, models.go, and queries.sql are in sync
-- [ ] **Update local database** (choose ONE):
-  - [ ] **Option 1 - Recreate database** (recommended, loses data):
-    ```bash
-    podman compose down -v  # Delete all volumes
-    podman compose up -d    # Start with fresh schema
-    ```
-  - [ ] **Option 2 - Manual SQL migration** (preserves data):
-    ```bash
-    podman exec bookhoard_db psql -U postgres -d bookhoard -c "YOUR SQL HERE"
-    ```
-- [ ] Verify database has new schema (check column types, indexes, etc.)
-
-### After API Changes
-
-- [ ] Create/update Bruno OpenCollection YAML requests
-- [ ] Create/update Integration tests (cmd/server/tests) 
-- [ ] Test with no user context
-- [ ] Test with regular user context
-- [ ] Test with admin context
-- [ ] Verify backward compatibility
-
-### Before Committing
-
-- [ ] **Run verification script**: `bash scripts/verify-guidelines.sh`
-- [ ] **Fix any errors** - verification must pass (0 errors) to commit
-- [ ] **Note warnings** - informational only, do not auto-fix
-- [ ] Run tests: `go test ./... -v`
-- [ ] Run lint/typecheck if available
-- [ ] Ensure no secrets in changes
-- [ ] Verify logical commit structure
-- [ ] **Update documentation** (see Documentation section):
-  - [ ] User-facing changes → `docs/user/`
-  - [ ] API changes → `docs/developer/api/` + Integration tests + Bruno OpenCollection YAML `.yml` files
-  - [ ] Setup/onboarding → `README.md`
-  - [ ] Development changes → `docs/contributing/`
-- [ ] **Verify docs render** at `/docs` endpoint
-- [ ] **Test docs search** finds new content
-
-### Error Recovery Protocol (If Code Mistakes Occur)
-

-## 🏗 ARCHITECTURAL PATTERNS
-
-### Current: SSR-First with Alpine.js + HTMX
-
-```
-Browser → Go template (SSR with all data) → Display instantly
-                      ↓
-        Alpine.js for UI state (modals, dropdowns)
-                      ↓
-                 HTMX for CRUD (forms, updates)
-                      ↓
-           Shared service layer (Go)
-```
-
-**Layer Responsibilities:**
-
-| Layer | Responsibility |
-|-------|---------------|
-| **Go Template** | SSR initial page with real data |
-| **Alpine.js** | UI state only (x-data, x-show, transitions) |
-| **HTMX** | Dynamic updates without page reload |
-| **TypeScript** | Pure business logic (API calls, data processing) |
-
-**See also:** `SSR_FIRST_ALPINE_GUIDE.md` and `ALPINE_COMPLETION_GUIDE.md`
-
-Ultimately, whenever you are unsure just ask for confirmation.

+# Library Visibility (family-lens rule)
+
+Every endpoint that returns media metadata or content must respect
+per-user **library visibility**: the `library_visibility` table maps
+`(user_id, library_id, is_visible)` and defaults to **ALLOW** — every
+user sees every library unless an admin explicitly hides one from them.
+The point of the system is the family case: an admin hides the adult
+library from a child's account, and no trace of that library (titles,
+covers, series, page images) may reach the child's account.
+
+## The rule for new endpoints
+
+Any endpoint that lists, filters, or details media/series/books:
+
+1. Filter by the requesting user's visible-library set.
+2. Reject an explicit `library_id` outside that set with **403** —
+   never silently ignore or fall back.
+3. Content endpoints (file bytes, page images) gate per item, like
+   `ReaderHandler.ensureItemVisible`.
+
+If you forget, hidden libraries leak. This exact leak shipped: the
+series endpoints were name-only across ALL libraries and the PDF
+thumbnail endpoint served page images of hidden books (fixed 2026-10-13,
+bookhoard `431fec0`).
+
+## Helpers — do not hand-roll
+
+- `(*MediaHandler).visibleLibrarySet` /
+  `(*SeriesHandler).visibleLibrarySet` — returns a membership map plus
+  the id slice (map for param checks, slice for SQL `ANY()`).
+- `router.visibleLibraryIDsFor` — same for SSR routes.
+- `resolveLibrary` (router/helpers.go) only honors a requested
+  `library_id` that is inside the caller's visible set.
+- SQL pattern (see `ListMediaItems`, `GetDistinctSeries`,
+  `SearchMediaItems`):
+
+```sql
+AND (sqlc.narg('visible_library_ids')::uuid[] IS NULL
+     OR library_id = ANY(sqlc.narg('visible_library_ids')::uuid[]))
+```
+
+## Known-safe surfaces
+
+- OPDS device catalogs filter by the device owner's visible libraries.
+- Search (`SearchMediaItems`) is visibility-scoped.
+- File download, reader page render, and page content gate per item.
+
+## Series are per-library
+
+Series are grouped by `(library_id, series)` — the same series name in
+two libraries is two entries (manga adaptations, LN splits). Do not
+re-merge them cross-library. `/api/series/books` REQUIRES a visible
+`library_id`; `/api/series` without one aggregates only the caller's
+visible libraries.
