Complete the SHA-256 lifecycle for preexisting databases: items
imported before hashing existed get hashed automatically, and any
content duplicates discovered in the process land on the new admin
Hash Conflicts page for an explicit keep/merge decision.
HashBackfillService (runs once 30s after startup, independent of
auto-scan):
- hashes every media_items row where file_sha256 IS NULL, resolving
each path through LibraryService; per-item failures are logged and
skipped so one unreadable file cannot block the pass
- no-op once everything is hashed (logged and skipped)
- finishes with a conflict sweep flagging every content-duplicate
group via FindHashConflictGroups + CreateHashConflict; the sweep
runs after the per-item pass because a preexisting pair only
becomes detectable once both sides have their hash
API (admin-only):
- GET /api/admin/hash-conflicts - pending groups with member items
and usage counts
- POST /api/admin/hash-conflicts/:id/resolve - action=keep_all, or
action=keep with keep_uuid: validates the uuid belongs to the
group, re-parents every other copy's child rows onto the kept item
(reparent_media_item_children), deletes the losers, and records
the resolution + resolving admin; accepts form or JSON bodies and
returns the htmx resolved fragment
Page route /admin/hash-conflicts (admin-only) renders the template
with hydrated conflict data; HashConflictsHandler wired into the
router Config and constructed in main.
Verified end-to-end against the live database: duplicate detection,
pending listing, keep_all resolution, merge path (re-parent +
delete), and - critically - a resolved group is not re-flagged by a
later sweep (upsert no-op). Database restored afterward.
New /admin/hash-conflicts page (admin-only) listing pending
content-duplicate groups. Each group card shows the library, a
shortened SHA-256, and one row per copy with title, author, path,
size, and per-copy reading-data counts (progress, highlights,
bookmarks, notes, collections) - copies that own user data are
highlighted so the keep choice is informed.
Per copy: 'Keep this copy' merges the other copies' child rows into
it and deletes them. Per group: 'Keep both' for intentional
duplicates. Both confirm first, resolve via htmx POST, and swap the
card for a resolved confirmation inline. The confirmation fragment is
built inline in the handler rather than the templates package
(templates imports handlers; a back-import would be a cycle).
Empty state shown when no conflicts are pending. Adds a 'Hash
Conflicts' entry to the admin sidebar section between Libraries and
Users.
Force rescan was metadata-only: updateMediaItem never touched the
hash identifiers, so a force scan could not backfill file_sha256 for
items imported before hashing existed (or where extraction originally
failed). Those items were invisible to content dedup and SHA-256
device matching with no way to fix short of delete + re-import.
processMediaFile now refreshes hash identifiers in three cases:
- force rescan (the admin Scan button becomes the backfill tool)
- file size change (stored hash is stale - the bytes changed)
- unchanged file with no stored hash (ordinary scans self-heal the
legacy backlog incrementally, no admin action required)
Each recompute runs recordHashConflictIfAny: when the freshly stored
hash is now shared by more than one item in the library, the group is
upserted into hash_conflicts for the admin Hash Conflicts page. The
upsert is a no-op for already-tracked groups, so resolved 'keep both'
decisions stick.
Also extract a package-level computeFileSHA256 (the scanner method
now delegates to it) so the startup backfill service can hash files
without a scanner instance.
Content duplicates (same library + file_sha256 at different paths,
e.g. the same book imported twice under two names on a preexisting
database) cannot be auto-collapsed the way path duplicates were:
keeping both copies may be intentional. Surface them for an explicit
admin decision instead.
Schema:
- new hash_conflicts table keyed (library_id, file_sha256) with a
status/resolution lifecycle: 'pending' until an admin resolves via
'keep_all' or 'kept:<uuid>' (which copy was kept after merging)
- resolution is VARCHAR(50) - 'kept:<uuid>' is 41 chars; include a
widening ALTER for databases created with the initial 30-char width
- resolution/resolved_by/resolved_at record who decided what and when
Queries:
- ListMediaItemsMissingHash: items imported before hashing existed
(file_sha256 IS NULL), ordered oldest-first for the backfill pass
- FindHashConflictGroups: the content-duplicate group detection
(GROUP BY library_id, file_sha256 HAVING COUNT(*) > 1)
- ListMediaItemsBySHA256AndLibrary: full membership of one group
- CreateHashConflict: upsert with DO NOTHING so already-tracked groups
are untouched - critical behavior: a group an admin resolved as
'keep both' is never re-flagged by later sweeps
- ListPendingHashConflicts: admin listing with library name and live
item counts (items may have been deleted since flagging)
- GetHashConflict / ResolveHashConflict: lifecycle
- GetMediaItemUsageCounts: per-item progress/highlight/bookmark/note/
collection counts so the admin can make an informed keep choice
- ReparentMediaItemChildren: sqlc binding for the existing
reparent_media_item_children() migration function, used to merge a
losing copy's child rows into the kept copy
Bring the koreader protocol doc in line with the hash-sharing work:
- Request table: uuid is no longer required (it is absent on the first
sync of a newly downloaded book); document sha256 and file_path and
the resolution priority uuid -> sha256 -> file_path alias ->
title/author
- Note that SHA-256 matching is format-aware (media_items hash first,
media_item_formats fallback) so converted KEPUB/PDF downloads match
- Document the sha256 field returned by the metadata and library
endpoints
- Add a 'Book identification' section pointing current and future
clients (koreader, kobo, OPDS, device-link UI, mobile apps) at the
shared BookResolver as the single resolution path
The sidecar config's books map is keyed by the primary SHA-256 (UUID
fallback). A device holding a converted format (KEPUB/PDF) whose hash
lives only in media_item_formats could not resolve its file through
the sidecar.
After inserting the primary-keyed entry, also register the same entry
under each per-format hash from media_item_formats (first write wins,
so a primary hash is never shadowed). Devices now resolve converted
files via the sidecar the same way the server's BookResolver does.
Applied to both the GET and download sidecar builders.
DownloadBook populated fileSha256 only for the kepub and pdf format
branches, so the default EPUB download never emitted the
X-Bookhoard-SHA256 response header - the hash was only available in
the feed metadata, not on the download response itself.
Populate it from mediaItem.FileSha256 in the default branch so every
download response carries the canonical primary-format hash. Clients
that capture response headers at download time now learn the hash
regardless of which format they requested.
Fixes the 'cannot push until pulling first' wall on books downloaded
via OPDS. Root cause chain: the bookhoard koreader plugin only learns
the book UUID from a successful push response, but the first push had
to match by SHA-256 alone - and that match consulted only
media_items.file_sha256, missing converted formats. When the hash
missed, no UUID was returned, so pull stayed blocked (it requires the
UUID) and the book could not sync at all.
Resolution side - route all five SHA-256 match sites through the shared
BookResolver so they are format-aware:
- resolveBookToMediaItem priority 2
- SyncBookmarks book-level lookup
- per-bookmark, per-note, and per-highlight override lookups
Exposure side - return the canonical hash so clients can learn and
cache it from a pull regardless of how the book was obtained:
- KOReaderMetadata gains sha256, populated from mediaItem.FileSha256
- KOReaderLibraryBook gains sha256, populated the same way, so the
library list endpoint carries it for every book
Together with the plugin-side UUID bootstrap (bookhoard.koplugin),
push and pull now work in either order on any format.
The platform had three duplicated, divergent book resolvers (koreader,
kobo, BookMatchingService) and none of them consulted
media_item_formats.file_sha256 - per-format hashes for converted files
(KEPUB, PDF) are computed and stored at import/conversion time but were
never used for lookup. GetMediaItemFormatBySHA256 existed with zero
callers. Any client holding a converted file could never match by
hash.
Add internal/services/book_resolver.go: a single shared resolution
path from client-supplied identifier to media_item.
ResolveBySHA256 checks media_items.file_sha256 first (indexed
GetMediaItemBySHA256), then falls back to media_item_formats.
file_sha256 (indexed GetMediaItemFormatBySHA256, first caller) so a
converted format matches with equal confidence. The import-time
SHA-256 is the canonical identifier shared by every interface.
Wire two of the existing resolvers through it:
- BookMatchingService.matchBySHA256: replaces the in-memory
ListMediaItems scan of up to 1000 rows with the resolver's indexed
lookups, and gains format awareness for the link/auto-link UI.
MatchMethod now reports sha256_sha256 or sha256_sha256_format
- KoboHandler.mapContentIdToBookhoardUUID: the SHA-256 heuristic
branch (ContentId that looks like a 64-char hash) now resolves
format-aware too. Kobo's entitlement_id wire identity is untouched;
only the opportunistic hash branch changed
A read-then-write race in processMediaFile allowed the same file to be
imported twice: two concurrent scan jobs (startup scan, fsnotify dirty-
directory scan, periodic backup poll, or a manual scan each run on
separate worker goroutines with separate MediaScanner instances) could
both SELECT 'not found' and both INSERT. There was no transaction, no
row lock, no unique constraint on (library_id, file_path), and no
ON CONFLICT clause, so nothing stopped the double insert. Observed in
production as two identical 'Head First SQL' rows created in the same
second (same sha256, size, path, library).
Database enforcement:
- schema.sql: add UNIQUE(library_id, file_path) constraint, guarded so
re-runs don't error
- schema.sql: add self-healing migration that runs on every startup -
dedup_media_items_by_path() collapses existing path-duplicates and
reparent_media_item_children() moves all child rows (progress,
highlights, bookmarks, notes, collections, formats, aliases, kobo
entitlements, etc.) onto a survivor before deleting losers, so the
constraint applies cleanly on already-duplicated servers without
losing reading history. Survivor picks the row with the most user
data, ties broken by lowest id
- CreateMediaItem: upsert via ON CONFLICT (library_id, file_path) DO
UPDATE so concurrent inserts collapse to one row and return it
- CreateMediaItemFormat: upsert via ON CONFLICT (media_item_id,
format_type), closing the same race on format rows
Application-level guards:
- media_scanner processMediaFile: after computing the file hash, check
GetMediaItemBySHA256AndLibrary (new query) and treat the file as
existing when identical content is already in the library under a
different path (content dedup, library-scoped so multi-library
setups still work)
Ops tooling:
- scripts/dedup_media_items.sql: standalone idempotent maintenance
script with a dry-run report (path + content duplicate groups, child
row counts) and transactional cleanup, for servers that prefer to
dedup manually before upgrading
Verified against the live database: the duplicate pair was collapsed
(reading_progress preserved on the survivor), schema.sql re-runs are a
no-op, and the constraint is in place with 62 unique books remaining.
Switch the @bookhoard/foliate-js dependency from the github: shorthand
(d164d6f) to the explicit git+https URL form (d4d87a9). The newer
revision is required by the double-page-spread support (renderer
'spread' attribute) and the explicit URL form resolves more reliably
across npm/podman builds.
The double_page_spread checkbox in the reader settings panel was inert:
it had no Alpine binding, no apply logic, and no persistence. Default
was also inconsistent (false in settings-manager, absent from server
defaults).
- Add doublePageSpread state to the reader Alpine component, loaded
from saved settings (default true)
- Add applyDoublePageSpread() which sets the renderer's 'spread'
attribute to auto/none and persists the setting via saveSettings
- Apply the spread attribute during fixed-layout renderer init
- Bind the settings checkbox with x-model and @change
- Add double_page_spread: true to ReaderService server defaults so
new users get the same starting value the client expects
- Also improve the PDF pan/select toolbar button: distinct smart-
select vs pan icons, highlighted state while pan mode is active,
and dynamic tooltips/aria-labels explaining each mode
The scan-complete handler in dashboard.ts attempted to deduplicate book
cards by querying [data-media-item-id], but neither the client-side
renderBookCard nor the server-side BookCard template ever set that
attribute. As a result the dedup Set was always empty, every item from
the API response was treated as new, and all items were prepended via
insertAdjacentHTML('afterbegin', ...) on every 5-minute scan — causing
visible duplication (doubling, tripling) that only cleared on page
refresh.
Fix by replacing the fragile dedup-and-prepend logic with a per-track
full innerHTML replace. This is simpler, correctly handles items that
should be removed after a scan (the old code never removed anything),
and also removes stale sections no longer returned by the API.
Additional hardening:
- Add data-media-item-id to both renderBookCard (dashboard.ts) and the
server-side card wrapper (dashboard.templ) so server-rendered and
JS-rendered cards are structurally identical.
- Guard the bookhoard:scan-complete listener registration with a
module-level boolean (scanListenerRegistered) so the handler cannot
accumulate if Alpine ever re-inits the body subtree.
- Remove debug console.log statements from the scan handler.
Sidebar appearance menu improvements:
Accordion behavior:
- Lift panel open/close state to a shared 'openPanel' variable on the
parent container so only one sidebar panel (User, Appearance, Admin,
Sign In) can be open at a time; all can be closed.
- Admin panel still auto-opens on /admin/* pages via initial state.
- Add chevron rotation to User and Appearance panels (previously only
Admin rotated); add a chevron to the Sign In panel for consistency.
Wood texture previews:
- Generate 48x48 WebP thumbnails (~200 bytes each) from the full-size
PNG textures (873 KB – 1.9 MB) so the bookshelf option circles show
the actual wood grain instead of a flat grey dot.
- Use unquoted url() in the inline style to avoid templ's double-HTML
escaping of single quotes (SanitizeStyleAttributeValues + EscapeString
turned url('...') into url('...) which is invalid CSS).
- 'None' keeps the flat neutral circle.
CSS resilience:
- Move the wood background-image: url() rules from the compiled
style.css into input.css (the Tailwind source) so they survive CSS
rebuilds instead of being silently lost.
The checkmark in the Appearance theme menu was rendered server-side
(if user.Theme == opt.Name), so it never moved after switching themes
in the browser.
- Always render the check for every theme option, hidden by default,
using a new themeCheckClass(name, current) helper that returns the
hidden class unless the option is the active theme.
- Give each theme button a data-theme attribute and add
updateThemeIndicators() to web/src/theme.ts, which reads the applied
theme from the body class (theme-<name>) and toggles the hidden class
on each check accordingly.
- Call updateThemeIndicators() from changeTheme (before the async save
and on failure), initializeTheme, and loadUserTheme so the menu stays
in sync with the applied theme.
- Add unit test for themeCheckClass (templates/utils_test.go) and
regenerate templ output.
Bring the tighten-ui brand treatment into new-ui:
- Replace the emoji book (📚) in the sidebar header with the book-open
icon rendered in the theme accent color, matching the tighten-ui
header brand (templates/header.templ).
- Add web/static/favicon.svg (book-open glyph, tokyo-night accent
#7aa2f7 stroke) and reference it from the <head> of all 27 page
templates, so the favicon is present on login/setup/error pages too.
- Regenerate templ output for all affected templates.
CleanupExpiredRefreshTokens and CleanupExpiredOpdsTokens were generated
by sqlc but never invoked anywhere in the codebase, so expired/revoked
tokens accumulated in the database indefinitely. The refresh-token query
was parameterized in the settings-registry work specifically so its
retention window could follow the configurable session duration, but the
periodic caller was never wired up.
annotations.go:
- Rename StartTombstonePurger to StartDailyMaintenance, which now runs
all periodic cleanup tasks from a single 24h-tick goroutine.
- Add runDailyMaintenance helper: tombstones, then OPDS tokens, then
refresh tokens, each logging independently so one failure never skips
the others.
- Refresh-token retention is read from the registry (SessionDuration)
on every tick so live admin edits are honored; guarded on the registry
being wired so unwired test paths simply skip cleanup.
- All three queries only delete rows that are already expired or
revoked, so active sessions are never logged out.
main.go:
- Update the call site: tombstonePurgerCancel becomes maintenanceCancel
and calls StartDailyMaintenance.
Net footprint: still one goroutine and one ticker; the cleanup adds one
DELETE per table per day.
Replace the read-only "System Information" card (which listed hardcoded
values) with editable HTMX forms, organized so the live vs restart
distinction and related settings are visually clear.
admin_settings.templ:
- AdminSettings signature now takes liveGroups and restartGroups
([]SettingGroup) instead of a flat entry list.
- Remove the static System Information list. Render two cards: "Live"
(green, applies immediately) and "Restart Required" (warning header,
saved but only takes effect after restart).
- Within each card, TunableSettingsSection clusters entries into
labeled sub-sections by Group (e.g. "Password Quality", "Device Rate
Limits", "Login Lockout", "Worker Pool") with uppercase tracked
sub-headers.
- TunableSettingRow renders an inline HTMX form per setting: a Yes/No
select for bools, a number input with min/max for ints, text
otherwise, posting to /admin/settings/tunable. Rows show "modified
from default" when the value differs from the compiled default.
types.go:
- Add SettingEntry (template-local mirror of database.SettingEntry,
keeps templates from importing database) and SettingGroup.
utils.go:
- Add GroupTunableSettings: splits a flat, group-sorted entry list into
live and restart []SettingGroup buckets preserving source order.
utils_test.go covers the multi-group + empty cases.
frontend.go:
- The /admin/settings page handler now loads entries from the registry,
drops the three keys that have dedicated UI cards (default_timezone
dropdown, scan_poll_interval_seconds, auto_scan_enabled) so they are
not listed twice, groups the rest, and passes liveGroups/restartGroups
into the template.
Construct the SettingsRegistry at boot, load it, and thread it through
every consumer so the configurable values take effect and stay cached.
cmd/server/main.go:
- Build the registry from the Queries handle and Load() it right after
schema init; a load failure logs and continues (getters fall back to
compiled defaults, so startup is never blocked).
- Wire the registry into the package-level password validator
(SetDefaultPasswordSettings) and call SetSettings on every handler/
service that reads tunables: AuthHandler, DeviceAuthMiddleware,
OPDSHandler, SidecarHandler, SystemSettingsHandler,
AnnotationService, ConversionService.
- Source the restart-time values from the registry: login lockout
(max attempts + duration) feeds NewLoginAttemptTracker, and the new
NewSyncQueueProcessorWithConfig / NewWorkerWithConfig take the sync
queue and worker pool configs.
router.go:
- Config gains a Settings *database.SettingsRegistry field.
- The global auth rate limiter now reads RequestsPerMinute from
registry.AuthRateLimit() (env stays as the enabled/disabled switch
and as the fallback if the registry is unset).
admin_library.go:
- The HTMX scan-settings save endpoint reloads the registry after
writing so the change is visible without a page reload.
- Add PUT /admin/settings/tunable: a small HTMX endpoint that calls
SystemSettingsHandler.ApplySetting and returns a colored status
snippet ("Saved" or "Saved — restart required") for the admin UI's
per-row forms.
Add a single pair of admin-only endpoints that supersede the scattered
scan-settings JSON routes as the canonical way to read and write
tunable system settings. Existing legacy routes are kept working for
backward compatibility and now refresh the registry cache on write.
system_settings.go:
- GET /api/system/settings returns every known setting with full
metadata (value, type, min, max, requires_restart, category, group,
description, is_default) via SettingsRegistry.All().
- PUT /api/system/settings accepts {key, value}; ApplySetting() looks
up the compiled Default for the key, runs type-aware validation
(int range, bool parse, non-empty string, timezone via
time.LoadLocation), upserts via UpsertSystemSetting, reloads the
registry, and reports whether a restart is needed for the change to
take full effect. Shared by the JSON endpoint and the HTMX endpoint.
- Legacy UpdateScanSettings / GetScanSettings / UpdateTimezoneSettings
now reload the registry after writing and prefer the registry when
reading, so the cache stays consistent regardless of entry point.
sidecar.go:
- SidecarHandler gains an optional registry; the timezone branch of
UpdateSystemConfiguration (PUT /api/system/config) calls
settings.Reload() after the write so the new value is visible
immediately. base_url handling is unchanged.
system.go:
- Register GET/PUT /api/system/settings under the existing admin
/api/system group.
Split each constructor into a default-args wrapper and a config-accepting
variant so the sync queue interval/batch size and the worker pool size/
queue cap can be sourced from the settings registry at startup. These
values are constructed once at boot, so they are tagged requires_restart
in the admin UI.
queue.go:
- NewSyncQueueProcessorWithConfig(db, interval, batchSize) takes the
flush interval and batch size as parameters; NewSyncQueueProcessor
becomes a thin wrapper with the historical 5s / 50 defaults.
worker.go:
- NewWorkerWithConfig(numWorkers, queueCap, connManager) takes the
queue capacity as a parameter; NewWorker becomes a thin wrapper with
the historical cap of 100.
No behavior change for existing callers; main.go will switch to the
config-accepting variants in a follow-up wiring commit.
The 30-day retention window for soft-deleted annotations was a package
const; move it behind the registry so it can be tuned live.
annotations.go:
- AnnotationService gains an optional *database.SettingsRegistry and a
tombstoneTTL() helper. The skip-resurrect checks and the purge cutoff
now call it instead of reading the TombstoneTTL const directly.
- Add ActiveTombstoneTTL() so callers outside the sync package can
compute cutoffs consistently with the service.
- The package-level TombstoneTTL const is retained as the fallback for
tests / unwired code paths.
kobo.go, koreader.go:
- The per-book tombstone sweep cutoff now uses
h.annotationSvc.ActiveTombstoneTTL() instead of the wsync.TombstoneTTL
const, so both the service and the handlers honor the configured TTL.
Move three more hardcoded values behind the settings registry. All
apply immediately on the next request (no restart needed).
device_auth.go:
- DeviceAuthMiddleware reads per-route device rate limits (sync /
progress / metadata per minute) from the registry on each
authenticated request via a rateLimitConfig() helper, falling back to
the Default* constants when no registry is wired.
- The X-RateLimit-Limit response header previously hardcoded "60" for
every request type; it now reflects the actual configured limit for
the request type via rateLimitForRequestType().
opds.go:
- Default (50) and maximum (200) OPDS page sizes come from the
registry's OpdsDefaultPageSize()/OpdsMaxPageSize() instead of inline
literals, so catalog pagination can be tuned without a redeploy.
conversion_service.go:
- The 24h kepub cache lifetime is read from the registry via a
cacheTTL() helper (was a bare 24 * time.Hour literal in the
constructor). The field default is retained for tests that construct
the service directly.
- conversion_service_test.go updated to assert both the field default
and the cacheTTL() accessor return 24h.
Replace the hardcoded 7-day session lifetime and fixed password
complexity rules with registry-backed accessors so they can be tuned
from the admin UI without a code change.
auth.go:
- Drop the SessionDuration const; keep DefaultSessionDuration (7 days)
as the fallback used when no registry is wired (e.g. in tests).
- AuthHandler gains an optional *database.SettingsRegistry and a
sessionDuration() helper that reads the registry, falling back to
DefaultSessionDuration.
- Cookie MaxAge, JWT exp claim, and ExpiresIn responses now derive from
sessionDuration() instead of the package-level SessionDurationSec, so
a settings change takes effect on the next login.
refresh_token.go:
- Refresh-token lifetime follows sessionDuration() via a new
refreshTokenTTL() helper (was a separate refreshTokenExpiration const
that silently had to be kept in sync with the session duration).
password_validator.go:
- PasswordValidator now reads min length and the upper/lower/number/
special toggles from the registry at validation time, so rule
changes apply immediately. The special-character regex is compiled
once and reused (sync.Once).
- GetPasswordRequirements() and ValidatePassword() reflect the active
configured rules instead of a static list.
- Add SetDefaultPasswordSettings() so the package-level default
validator (used by echo's struct-tag validator) follows live config.
All paths degrade gracefully to the historical defaults when no
registry is wired.
Add a typed, cached registry over the system_settings table so that
values which used to be hardcoded Go literals can be changed at runtime.
Schema (database/schema/schema.sql):
- Extend system_settings with setting_type, min_value, max_value,
requires_restart, and category columns (all ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS,
nullable for backward compat with the original three rows).
- Seed rows for every tunable: session duration, password rules,
login lockout, auth/device rate limits, OPDS page size, tombstone TTL,
conversion cache TTL, sync queue interval/batch, and worker pool
size/cap. Seed values equal the previous hardcoded literals, so
behavior is unchanged on upgrade. ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING preserves
any admin-modified values.
Queries (queries.sql):
- Add UpsertSystemSetting (RETURNING *) so new keys without a seed row
can still be written through the API.
- Add GetSystemSettingFull + GetAllSystemSettingsFull returning the
full typed row.
- Refactor CleanupExpiredRefreshTokens to take the retention window as
a parameter (make_interval(secs => $1)) instead of the INTERVAL '7
days' literal, so it can follow a configurable session duration.
Registry (internal/database/settings_registry.go):
- SettingsRegistry holds an in-memory cache of all known settings,
populated by Load at startup and refreshed by Reload on writes.
- Typed domain getters (SessionDuration, PasswordRules, DeviceRateLimits,
TombstoneTTL, OpdsPageSize, ConversionCacheTTL, SyncQueueConfig,
WorkerPoolConfig, LoginLockout, AuthRateLimit, ...) with compiled-in
fallback defaults and min/max clamping, so a corrupt or missing row
can never break the app.
- SettingDefaults is the single source of truth for keys, types, bounds,
and human descriptions; All() exposes metadata + current values for
the admin UI/API.
The registry lives in the database package (rather than its own
internal/settings package) because a quirk in this custom go1.26.5
toolchain prevented the large handlers package from importing any
newly-created package; every consumer already imports database.
Tests: settings_registry_test.go covers default validity per type,
int clamping at both bounds, garbage-value fallback, and unknown-key
lookup.
Convert string-interpolation attributes (value="{ x }") to templ
expression attributes (value={ x }) for IDs, paths, and titles, and
fix indentation in header.templ and progress.templ.
- Admin section in sidebar now uses same expandable panel pattern as
Appearance and User sections (toggle button with chevron, auto-opens
when on /admin pages)
- Library Manage button toggles open/close instead of only opening
(uses htmx.ajax for open, clears panel for close)
Alpine doesn't ship the IANA timezone database, causing
time.LoadLocation('America/New_York') to fail with 'Invalid timezone'
for every non-UTC option in the profile settings dropdown.
- Add gear icon (proper cog) and use it for device settings button
- Replace KOReader manual identifier input with step-by-step plugin
setup instructions (clone repo, enter server URL, approve pending reg)
- Show server URL with copy button pre-filled from baseURL
- Kobo keeps manual registration flow (device name + identifier)
- Comment out Web Browser and Mobile App options (not implemented)
- Use Alpine x-model on device-type select to toggle between
KOReader instructions and Kobo registration form
GetAllProgressData (SSR handler) was missing LastUpdated, DeviceIcon,
DeviceName, DeviceType, and EpubCFI fields that the template expects.
All showed blank. Now matches the API handler's field population.
Three bugs fixed:
1. Schema seeded base_url with fake placeholder 'bookhoard.example.com'.
Removed seed; startup now seeds from BASE_URL env var only if DB row
is empty (admin changes persist across restarts). One-time UPDATE
clears the placeholder in existing installs.
2. config.GetBaseURL() had a broken type assertion (local SystemConfigRow
vs database.SystemConfig) that always failed, returning . Admin panel
showed env var fallback instead of actual DB value. Fixed with a
function-type getter that properly wraps the DB query.
3. OPDS handler read base_url only from DB with no fallback. When DB had
the placeholder, all feed links pointed to an unreachable domain,
breaking KOReader search/download. Added deriveBaseURL() helper that
falls back to the request Host/scheme when DB value is empty.
Setup gate improvements:
- isSetupComplete now requires both admin user AND non-empty base_url
- Setup middleware no longer exempts all /api/ routes; only allows
/api/auth/register, /api/auth/login, /api/system/config before setup
is complete. All other API routes get 503.
- Cache invalidated when base_url is saved via admin settings
Dev workflow:
- New bruno/NewDevDBSetup/SetBaseUrl.yml for dev DB setup
- NewDB.sh runs SetBaseUrl between RegisterUser and CreateEbookLibrary
Three root causes, all fixed:
1. Icon buttons were created with setAttribute('onclick', ...) in
populateIconGrid, but selectIcon is module-scoped (not on window),
so clicking threw ReferenceError. Switch to addEventListener with
a closure. Icon search/focus used plain oninput/onfocus attributes
with the same problem — convert to Alpine @input/@focus.
2. selectColor's highlight selector queried [onclick="selectColor(...)\]
System collections (Not Started, Continue Reading, etc.) compute
their contents dynamically from reading_progress, so manual
add/remove has no effect. Hide the search bar, Remove Selected
button, Add Books button, per-card checkboxes, and Remove buttons
when the collection is system, making the page visually read-only.
- Add IsSystem bool to CollectionData, populated from the database
is_system_collection flag.
- Add data-is-system to #collection-data so the JS renderer can
also conditionally omit controls on library switch.
- Wrap toolbar controls, book picker modal, card checkboxes, and
remove buttons in if !collection.IsSystem in the template.
Three fixes for the collection detail page:
1. Picker modal never showed because the outer overlay div had
style="display:none" with no x-show binding — add x-show bound
to $store.bookPicker.isOpen plus a backdrop and click-to-close.
2. Replace native confirm() with an in-page Alpine modal for UI
continuity. Add confirm dialog state (showConfirm, confirmMessage,
pendingAction) and methods (requestRemoveBook, requestBulkRemove,
executeConfirmed, closeConfirm) to the collections component.
The actual API calls (doRemoveBook/doBulkRemove) are triggered only
when the user confirms.
3. Rename removeBook → requestRemoveBook and bulkRemove →
requestBulkRemove in template + JS renderer so the dialog opens
instead of navigating or failing silently.
The /collections/:id page had several broken features because three
referenced functions (removeBook, toggleBookForRemoval,
filterCollectionBooks) were never defined, and every book card was
wrapped in <a href="/media/..."> so clicking the checkbox or remove
button navigated to the book detail page instead.
Card restructure:
- Remove the <a> wrapper; title and cover are now individual links.
- Checkbox sits in a <label> with expanded click area (p-2 -m-2).
- Checkbox uses Alpine :checked/@change bound to a reactive
selectedBooks array on the collections component.
Remove (single + bulk):
- Add removeBook(id) and bulkRemove() methods with confirm() dialogs.
- Wire the "Remove Selected" button with :disabled binding and @click.
- Selected-count badge is now Alpine-reactive (x-show/x-text).
Search within collection:
- Add filterCollectionBooks() that filters cards client-side by
title/author via data-* attributes and @input.
Book picker ("Add Books"):
- Point the HTMX search inputs at the existing /api/media-items/search
endpoint instead of the non-existent /api/media-items/filtered.
- Add hx-trigger="loadBooks" + hx-get to the grid so loadBooks()
actually fires an initial request when the picker opens.
- Merge the hidden limit/offset inputs into the #book-picker-filters
div so hx-include picks them up (was a separate <form id=filter-form>
that nobody referenced).
- Add show_checkbox mode to handleSearchHTML: when present, render a
new BookPickerGrid template with clickable, selectable cards instead
of the reader BookCard.
- Fix bookPicker submit() to location.reload() instead of a non-existent
reloadCollection HTMX event, and clearFilters() to target text inputs.
The reader's back button was hardcoded to the book detail page
(/media/{id}), so even when you launched the reader straight from the
dashboard the back button ignored that and sent you to the detail view.
Mirror the existing book-detail.ts referrer pattern: capture
document.referrer into sessionStorage on load (excluding other reader
pages and the reader's own URL), then override the back link's click to
navigate there. Falls back to the link's original href (/media/{id}) when
no valid referrer exists (direct URL access).
The dashboard re-renders its sections client-side (library switch,
refresh, saving settings) via renderBookCard in dashboard.ts, which was
still the old markup with no .book-card-action overlay. So the read
button appeared on the server-rendered cards but vanished as soon as the
dashboard re-rendered, while the bookshelf (always templ-rendered) kept
working.
- Rewrite renderBookCard to match the templ BookCard: detail link plus
the play/read action overlay, routing to the reader or the detail page
when the book has an active conflict.
- Add has_conflict to the BookInfo TS type and stamp it in the dashboard
sections API (GetSections) so client-rendered cards can route correctly.
- Add pointer-events-none / group-hover:pointer-events-auto to the
client-rendered carousel nav buttons so they no longer swallow hover
over edge cards, matching the templ fix.
The settings icon is a circle with radiating spokes, which reads as a
sun/light-mode toggle rather than a dashboard control. Swap it for the
grid icon, the standard dashboard-layout affordance.
The account and appearance menus sat in one container with no separation,
so expanding one made the other hard to find. Each collapsible menu now
lives in its own subtly lifted, bordered panel (.sidebar-panel) so the
expanded items stay visually contained and the menus never blend together.
Applied to the account, appearance, and sign-in menus.
The play button on book cards now opens the reader directly, instead of
always going to the detail page. Cards with an active progress sync
conflict route the play button to the detail page (which hosts the
conflict dialogue and resolves before writing progress), so the user is
never silently dropped into the reader with an unresolved conflict.
Backend:
- Add HasConflict to BookInfo and stamp it via ListSyncConflictsByUser
(MarkActiveConflicts / MarkActiveConflictsSections) on the dashboard,
bookshelf, series, tag, and search result card builders.
- Each page issues a single conflict query regardless of card count.
BookCard:
- Restructure into a detail link (cover + meta) with the play action as a
sibling overlay using a pointer-events split: the container passes
clicks through to detail while only the circular button routes to the
reader. No nested anchors.
- On touch devices (hover: none) the play button stays visible.
Fix: carousel nav buttons had opacity-0 without pointer-events-none, so
they swallowed hover/clicks over book cards on the dashboard. They are
now click-through until the carousel is hovered.
