Document the authentication decision reached for the Android client:
username/password login is primary (the app needs the user-JWT API
surface that device tokens cannot reach), with the app self-approving
its own device registration post-login so it still shows up on the
Devices page with sync attribution.
Add the Netflix-style QR pairing flow to the post-v1 roadmap with its
constraints: the QR grants a full login with zero typing; a typed-code
fallback covers phones with broken cameras; KOReader keeps its existing
flow (no typed codes there); and pairing must encode the configured
BASE_URL rather than a detected LAN IP so remote instances
(https://public.domain) work identically.
Document the planned native Android client (bookhoard-app): product
vision, tech stack and rationale (Kotlin + Compose + Readium over
hybrid/Flutter/KMP alternatives), module architecture, offline-first
sync flow over the existing REST/WebSocket API, reader and comics/manga
UX, iOS posture, distribution and licensing, and a five-milestone
roadmap. The client is a thin, offline-first consumer of the server's
existing device registration, universal progress, annotation, and
conflict-resolution APIs — no server changes required.
