PROJECT_GUIDELINES.md had drifted out of reality (podman-only rule
while the stack runs docker; verifier scripts wired to Makefile targets
nobody runs). Trashed it, its two verifier scripts, and the Makefile
targets; the rules that still matched reality (docker runtime, schema
in place until release, server binary only via Docker, services layer,
integration-test pool rules) are absorbed into the new AGENTS.md.
The library-visibility family-lens rule now has a real home:
- AGENTS.md: the standing rule agents auto-discover (new media
endpoints MUST thread the visible-library set; 403, never silently
pass; history of the 2026-10-13 leak).
- docs/developer/library-visibility.md: the full explanation (helpers,
SQL pattern, per-item content gates, series per-library), linked
from the developer docs index.
Stale doc links updated (docs index, contributing, development).
- Update validation from minutes (15-1440) to seconds (1-3600)
- Clarify behavior: real-time file watching with polling fallback
- Remove scheduler references from development docs
- Update migration notes for the new implementation
Problem:
- Libraries are universal (not user-owned) and persist in database
- Tests create libraries via API but don't clean them up
- Libraries accumulate between test runs
Solution:
- Delete test libraries (names containing "test") during cleanup
- Uses case-insensitive matching to catch "Test", "TEST", "test", etc.
- Preserves user-created libraries without "test" in name
Changes:
1. cmd/server/tests/test_helpers.go:
- Added library cleanup in setupTestServer() after user cleanup
- Lists all libraries and deletes those with "test" in name
- Includes warning comment about naming convention
2. docs/contributing/development.md:
- Added "Test Library Naming Convention" section
- Documents that "test" in library names triggers deletion
- Recommends alternative names for persistent test libraries
Note: Users should NOT use "test" in library names if they want to keep them.
