The "top search bar doesn't work" report had TWO stacked causes, found
by reproducing with real keypress-by-keypress typing instead of
Playwright's fill() (which fires a single input event and masked both):
1. htmx.min.js was included PER PAGE. The header's live search is
htmx-driven on every page, but five pages rendering @Header —
series, admin, admin hash-conflicts, admin processing-issues,
browse-detail — never loaded it: the input's hx-* attributes were
inert (htmx-internal-data absent), so typing produced no request at
all. The include now lives in the header partial itself (classic
script, before the module bundle); the sixteen per-page copies on
@Header pages are removed (double-processing guard). Non-header
pages (login/register/setup/reader/index) keep their own.
2. htmx's delay: modifier on a PROGRAMMATICALLY dispatched custom event
(htmx.trigger) loses the request entirely under rapid successive
triggers — every re-fire canceled the pending timer and the last
never issued, so fast typing (the normal kind) never opened the
dropdown while one-shot fill() worked. The debounce moved into the
Alpine component (client-local state, where it belongs); htmx now
executes the bare `search` event immediately.
Also made bundle staleness structurally impossible: each bundle's
script stamp is a content hash computed at startup (templates/
bundles.go), so a rebuild that changes bundle bytes changes its cache
key with no manual ?v=N bump — the manual stamp was how the first
dropdown fix stayed invisible for a deploy. The reader bundle (never
stamped at all) is covered too. HTML pages additionally send
Cache-Control: no-cache (they are dynamic), so a stale page can no
longer reference a stale stamp; /api, /static and /uploads keep their
native caching, pinned by a middleware test.
Two follow-ups from live testing:
- "recent" is BOTH a base toolbar key and a full registry key (where it
means desc). ResolveSeriesSort's full-key passthrough ran first, so
sort=recent&dir=asc silently resolved back to desc — the direction
chevron flipped but Date Added could never sort ascending. "recent"
now composes with the direction before the passthrough, unknown bases
fall to the default entirely (a hostile dir can't ride an unknown
sort), and the composition table is unit-pinned plus an HTTP-level
row in the series filter test.
- The header search "still broken" report was a stale-cache artifact:
the fixed code shipped but main.js kept its ?v=7 stamp, so browsers
with a cached copy never refetched (fresh-profile e2e passed while
the user's browser didn't — heuristically cached module). Stamp bumped
to ?v=8 in header + docs; the e2e suite re-verified against the
rebuilt server.
Per the owner's testing bar: a Playwright spec registers an admin,
seeds one fixture per write-capable type (EPUB, PDF, CBZ, MP3, FLAC,
M4A, M4B — generated at runtime, no binary media in git), drives the
REAL metadata-editor flow (Edit → change title → in-app dialog →
Save & write) for each, and then reads every artifact back
INDEPENDENTLY of the app — EPUB/CBZ/sidecar via python zip+XML parse,
audio via ffprobe — asserting the written title landed in the FILE and
the old one is gone.
Writing the e2e exposed a real bug: atomicWrite left server-written
sidecars at 0600 root (os.CreateTemp's default), so host-side tools
sharing the volume — Calibre reading metadata.opf — were locked out.
The temp file is now chmod'd 0644 before the rename, matching the
scanner's cover-file convention; the e2e's host-side reads prove it.
Three defects from real-world use:
- The m4b rewrite assumed every stream survives -map 0 -c copy; files
carrying text-ish tracks (the movenc 'text' fourcc) fail the ipod
muxer with "Tag text incompatible with output codec id" — exactly the
error a write attempt hit in the field. The rewrite now attempts full
fidelity first, then retries mapping audio + attached pictures only
(-dn -sn): chapters live in the container header (-map_chapters 0)
so they survive; every attempt still ffprobe-validates before the
atomic rename and the original is never touched on total failure.
- The browser confirm() is replaced by an in-app dialog
(WriteToFileConfirmDialog, Alpine + templ — no native dialogs).
- "Write to file" now SAVES the pending editor edits first (persisted
through the same PUT the Save button uses), then writes the file
from those DB values, and closes the editor + refreshes the page
exactly like Save — previously the endpoint wrote the LAST-SAVED DB
values, so edits sitting in the modal never reached the file, and
the page didn't visibly update.
Test coverage per the owner's bar: EVERY single-file container (MP3,
FLAC, M4A, M4B) gets its own runtime-generated fixture, gets written,
and the FILE's metadata is then verified independently — ffprobe reads
the rewritten container and every mapped key is asserted per format,
including the subtitle round-trip split (MP3/FLAC yes, M4A/B no) — and
the EPUB/CBZ/sidecar assertions now PARSE the written XML (dc titles/
creators, ComicInfo fields, calibre meta) instead of substring
matching. A smart-genre unit test also pins the mixed-blob contract: a
recognized shelf wins the genre column even when demoted format words
ride along in the same blob.
Toolbar feedback round: the series search box now matches whatever the
main search matches for a group — series NAME, any book's AUTHOR, and
any book's TITLE inside the series (WHERE EXISTS per group-row, so
counts stay true); the separate author input is gone from the toolbar
(the author= param stays live for the JSON API and deep links). The
sort control becomes a base-key select (Date added/Name/Author/Books/
Progress/Last read) plus a chevron direction toggle that flips and
resubmits; sort/dir compose through ResolveSeriesSort (full registry
keys keep working for back-compat, unknown base keys fall to recent).
The search/apply button moved next to the search box as requested, and
default URLs stay clean (sort/dir only emitted once the user chooses).
The dropdown never opened on typing: the search-dropdown migration left
./search un-imported after dropping the initializeSearch call from
header.ts, so the bundler tree-shook the module away and the
x-data="headerSearch" scope never registered — every handler binding
(input/focus/keys) silently died. This is a client-wiring defect that
HTTP-level integration tests structurally cannot see; a Playwright e2e
spec (e2e/search-scrubber.spec.ts) now drives the real bundle: sub-2-char
input stays closed, 2+ chars opens the swapped templ dropdown.
The first grab implementation degraded Shift+grab to a quarter-speed
relative crawl — losing the ±5-minute rail the user expects when they
grab the handle with Shift held. The rail is back: Shift+grab anchors
railWindow at the CURRENT position (not the nearest chapter line, and
never teleports the playhead on pointerdown); plain grab stays relative
1:1. GRAB_FINE_SCALE is deleted as dead code, and the dialog guide
documents the restored gesture.
TestAudiobookTagFallbacks still asserted the verbatim "Audiobook" genre
column, but 885d6140 demoted format words to tags-only — and that
commit's message explicitly says the pinned expectation was updated to
the demoted contract. The code change landed; the test edit it
describes never did, so the full suite has been red since 13:21 today
on a test my changes never touched.
Pin the new contract: the genre column stays empty for demoted format
words and the raw candidate ("Audiobook") lands in the tags array —
exactly the tags-only behavior the fix's message documents. Full
integration suite green after this.
Phases 5b and 5c of the metadata writer.
5b — single-file audio (MP3/FLAC/M4A/M4B): the container's tags are
rewritten with ffmpeg -c copy (no re-encode; -map 0 keeps cover art,
-map_chapters 0 keeps chapters). The key set is exactly what the
scanner's applyAudioTagFallbacks reads back — title+album, subtitle,
artist/album_artist, composer (narrators, Audible's convention),
grouping + iTunes series-part, date, genre — so a write + rescan
round-trips. Output is ffprobe-VALIDATED (duration within 1s/0.5% of
the source) before the atomic rename; a lossy container rewrite never
replaces a good book. Fields the format can't carry per our own read
chain are deliberately not written, and fields_written reports only
what really round-trips (subtitle rides MP3/FLAC — this image's mp4
muxer drops subtitle keys, discovered empirically and pinned by test).
5c — CBZ: ComicInfo.xml injected (or replaced) with the same atomic zip
rewrite as the EPUB path, extended with an append-if-missing mode
since a comic may not carry one yet. Field map mirrors the scanner's
comic block: Title/Series/Number/Count/Volume, Writer (authors),
Summary, Publisher, Year/Month/Day, LanguageISO, Web, Genre+Tags;
fractional series numbers are omitted rather than truncated to a lie.
CBR/CB7 stay on the sidecar path (RAR/7z can't be rewritten in place).
Integration tests generate media at test runtime with ffmpeg (m4b) and
in-memory zips (cbz) — no binary fixtures — pinning the tag round-trip
through ffprobe, post-write rescan titles, the ComicInfo injection and
the validation-gate behavior.
Phase 5a of the metadata-writer feature: the book editor gains a
"Write to file" action (admin) that persists the item's CURRENT
database metadata into the artifact on disk, so the library stays
portable to Calibre and other apps — the thing Save alone can't do.
Dispatch (services/metadata_writer.go): EPUB/KEPUB gets its embedded
OPF spliced in place (fresh dc:* block generated inside the ORIGINAL
metadata open tag; manifest/spine/guide untouched; every other zip
entry copied byte-identical in original order so mimetype stays first
and STORED; original dc:identifiers preserved — the package's
unique-identifier must keep resolving). Everything else takes a
Calibre-style sidecar: metadata.opf when the book is ALONE in its
directory (Calibre's own convention — round-trips through Calibre
too), <basename>.opf when siblings share the folder, so one book's
sidecar can never poison dir-mates' scans (the scanner now reads both,
basename first).
Safety contract: temp file + atomic rename — the original is never
truncated on failure; the generated OPF is unit-tested to ROUND-TRIP
through the scanner's own parser (write side and read side can never
disagree); metadata_overrides are deliberately kept (file and DB agree
after the write; overrides still guard against stale sidecars). The
endpoint re-extracts inline (RescanMediaItem) and reports rescan
failure separately — a failed rescan doesn't undo the write. SHA-256
changes are inherent and documented for users (Kobo/KOReader re-key).
UI: the metadata editor modal carries the file path as a data
attribute; the button confirms before mutating, labels the target
(embedded vs sidecar) and toasts the outcome. Integration tests pin
the 403, missing-file error, EPUB embed + post-write rescan title, the
lone-book metadata.opf case, and the shared-dir <basename>.opf case
with no dir-scoped litter.
Search results now show where you are in a book: a completed check at
the 0.999 threshold (same cut as the filter status arms), a partial
progress bar along the cover while mid-read, nothing when you never
opened it. Rendered in BookCard (any grid whose adapter loads viewer
progress) and in the header-search dropdown rows.
The progress rides a LEFT JOIN reading_progress on the SAME user_id
param SearchMediaItemsUnified already binds for library visibility —
one requester param, no new wire inputs, row-neutral join (the table
is UNIQUE per media_item+user). SearchMediaItemsUnifiedRow and BookInfo
gain the keys additively (viewer_percentage null when unknown,
library_name empty on feeds that don't load it); contract_pins.md
carries the changelog entry and the pin tests widen in lockstep.
The header dropdown itself migrates off the innerHTML string renderer
in search.ts (a rendering-ownership violation: a templ twin existed via
the HX-Request branch). The input now hx-gets layout=dropdown and swaps
the new templ SearchResults partial — titles/authors highlighted
server-side (escape-first, safe by construction), rows with the same
progress overlays — while a slim Alpine component owns only
client-local state (min-length gating, open/close, keyboard selection,
htmx lifecycle). web/src/rendering-allowlist.txt drops the search.ts
baseline to zero accordingly.
Integration test pins the per-user join (fresh user sees 1.0/0.42/null
on the fixture; the shared admin sees null everywhere — read-only) and
the dropdown partial's overlays/count/row count.
The /series page rendered its grid in one fixed order (newest first)
with no way to find a series beyond eyeballing cards. The page now has
a toolbar — series-name search, author filter, viewer-progress filter
and a 12-key sort select — wired as a plain GET form (the page's
existing model: the URL is the single source of truth, and the library
switcher now carries q/author/status/sort along on switch).
Extensibility is deliberate (user request): sorts live in a registry
(services.ResolveSeriesSort) mirrored by a CASE cascade in
GetDistinctSeries and a <select> in series.templ — a new sort is one
entry in each. The sort value is a BOUND PARAM compared inside the
cascade, never interpolated; unknown keys resolve to the default.
Filters: series-name matches in WHERE (the group key, so counts stay
true); author (BOOL_OR any-book match) and status (finished/reading/
unstarted vs the viewer's progress, same 0.999 threshold as the
filter_query status arms) in HAVING so COUNT(*) keeps reporting the
whole series. GetDistinctSeriesCount shares the JOIN + HAVING so
pagination totals match. The reading_progress join can't multiply rows
(the table is UNIQUE per media_item+user).
Cards gain the viewer's finished-count ("X of N read" + progress bar),
and the empty state distinguishes "no series at all" from "no matches —
clear filters". The JSON /api/series endpoint takes the same params and
gains read_count/last_read_at additively.
Integration test pins every sort key against a three-series fixture
with distinct created/author/count/progress answers, the filter matrix,
composition, unknown-sort fallback, card read-counts and the JSON
contract — all as the fresh regular user so the live reader's data is
untouched.
A pointerdown on the scrub bar unconditionally mapped the click X to a
position, so grabbing the handle itself made the playhead jump — worst
with Shift, whose branch force-snapped to the nearest chapter line
before the drag even started. The user's complaint: the handle click
flowed through to the track-click behavior behind it.
The bar now hit-tests the thumb first (GRAB_SLOP_PX, a pixel test like
the chapter magnetism — a seconds threshold goes sub-pixel on long
books). A grab enters a new "grab" drag mode: the position stays where
it is until the pointer moves, then advances RELATIVELY via the new
applyGrab helper (incremental like the touch cursor, fixed scale — the
mouse is always on the bar, so Shift = quarter-speed fine crawl instead
of a pull-away zoom).
Track clicks keep today's behavior exactly: click = jump with chapter
magnetism, Shift+click = nearest chapter line, Shift+drag = precision
rail, touch = incremental pull-away. MOUSE_GUIDE gains the two grab
rows so the dialog documents the gesture; new pure helpers are unit-
tested alongside the existing scrub math.
Found while double-checking /login after the redirect fix: a wrong
password left the form completely silent. Two stacked causes, both
pre-dating the CSP work:
1. The two HX-Request branches for invalid credentials returned JSON,
unlike every sibling error branch — there was no HTML partial to
show at all. They now return a shared invalidCredentialsHTML div
(the JSON shape is kept for non-htmx API callers).
2. htmx does not swap 4xx/5xx responses by default, so even the HTML
error partials that DID exist (429 lockout, 500s, registration
failures like "Email already exists") never landed in the target.
auth_forms.ts now swaps them itself on htmx:beforeSwap when the
error response is text/html — JSON errors stay ignored.
Verified live: /login success → /dashboard; wrong password shows
"Invalid email/username or password." and stays on /login; duplicate
email on /register shows "Email already exists". Gates: make test 9
pkgs, vitest 155, Playwright 20.
The htmx login/registration partials answered success with an inline
<script> that stashed the auth token and set window.location — refused
by hash-mode script-src (no 'unsafe-inline'), so the user saw "Login
successful! Redirecting..." and nothing else (reported from the home-
page login form; /login was equally broken). The same pattern lived in
collections.go (delete → redirect) and devices.go (token regen →
reload, whose script tag was also unclosed).
Replacement, per the AGENTS.md CSP rules:
- auth.go login/registration: the partial now carries data-auth-token +
data-redirect (redirect is path-only — open-redirect hygiene — and
escaped); web/src/auth_forms.ts (new, armed from main.ts on every
page) listens for htmx:afterSwap, stashes the token, and navigates.
- collections.go delete: data-redirect, same listener.
- devices.go token regen: htmx's native HX-Refresh response header.
- The dead localStorage 'user'/'refreshToken' writes are dropped — no
reader anywhere in web/src; only 'token' is load-bearing (19 modules).
Tripwire extension: internal/middleware/csp_go_sources_test.go scans
non-test Go sources for literal <script> tags and native on*= attributes
(hand-written files only — templ codegen is owned by the .templ scan),
verified to fire on a reintroduced probe. AGENTS.md CSP section notes
the Go-emitted-partial vector.
Verified live: home-page login form → /dashboard with token stashed and
dashboard loading clean; /register form → /dashboard; collections and
devices share the same mechanisms (data-redirect / HX-Refresh). Gates:
make test (9 pkgs incl. both tripwires), vitest 155, Playwright 20,
tsc/vp clean.
Standing rule: commit per related edit with detailed conventional-commit
messages as each project section finishes, instead of batching a whole
session into one giant commit. Committing is local bookkeeping; pushing
stays a separate, explicit decision. Ordering guidance added so stacked
trees compile (service before handler, guard before dependent feature).
TestDocsMatchRoutes flagged the example response as missing a key the
handler emits — drift introduced by c645b8e2 (the wake-lock preference),
surfaced while regenerating the API mirrors for the retry endpoint.
- TestRetryProcessingIssueRowless: a row-less import_failed entry retries
to a real import and resolves; a missing file retries to 409 with the
real reason and stays open; an item-backed issue retries through the
rescan mechanism and resolves.
- TestScanLibraryFolderPathValidation: an unregistered folder_path is a
400; a registered one scopes and enqueues (202).
- TestScanSingleFolderSkipsArchiveReconciliation: scanning one folder of
a two-folder library leaves the other folder's healthy item at
missing_scan_count 0 / unarchived — pinning the partial-scope guard
against the false-archive regression it exists to prevent.
Per issue card: a Retry button — error-severity issues previously had no
action at all (only warning/info got Dismiss). Right of the Errors stat
card: Retry all, which builds a queue of every issue currently on the
page and runs them strictly one at a time through the per-issue retry
endpoint. The browser is the queue — resource use is bounded to a single
book in flight, and no batch endpoint exists to maintain.
While the queue runs, the button shows an n/m counter and cards tint via
client-local state classes (the sanctioned island shape; the cards
themselves stay templ-rendered). After the queue drains, the page swaps
in the new /admin/libraries/:id/issues/content templ partial — the
unlinked-books htmx.ajax pattern with a reload fallback — so resolved
issues drop off server-side while failures remain listed, with a
summary toast and per-item error toasts carrying the real failure
reasons.
CSP discipline holds throughout: Alpine @click component methods, no
inline handlers, no js:-prefixed hx-vals.
POST /api/libraries/:id/scan accepts an optional {"folder_path": "..."}:
the scan then covers exactly that one registered folder's subtree instead
of the whole library. The path is validated against the library's
registered folders — anything else is a 400, never trusted. An omitted
body keeps today's full-library behavior, and coalescing (409 with the
active job) is unchanged.
The LibraryPanel folder rows get a per-folder Scan button: pure htmx
attributes posting to the same scan endpoint, with hxValsFolderScan
emitting plain eval-free JSON for hx-vals alongside the existing
hxValsFolderDelete precedent. Progress surfaces through the existing
active-scan polling; no new client code.
Safety: the scanner's archive-reconciliation guard (previous commit)
skips partially-covered libraries, so a one-folder scan cannot mark the
library's other folders' items missing.
POST /api/libraries/:id/issues/:issueId/retry (admin, family-lens gated
via the existing gateIssue) re-runs the work that produced an open issue
— deliberately NOT a library-wide rescan. Two shapes mirror the two
ledger entry kinds:
- item-backed issues rescan their media item through the book-detail
RescanMediaItem mechanism (self-resolving folders, multi-file
audiobook routing, write-after-success guards) and then close the
issue (RetryMediaItemIssue);
- row-less import_failed issues re-import the single file through the
watcher's standalone processMediaFile path (RetryFailedImport: folders
resolved RescanMediaItem-style so paths stay library-root-relative),
whose create-path self-heal plus an explicit path resolve closes the
issue even when the content was already imported by a prior attempt.
Failures return the REAL underlying error so the UI can show why the
issue still exists; a vanished file is a 409 (ErrRetryFileMissing);
already-resolved issues reject re-retry.
Docs + bruno mirrors regenerated for the new route (the generator's seq
renumbering touches three unrelated bruno files as fallout; openapi
gains the path and the date bump), and the docs schema registry gains
the retry entry so TestDocsMatchRoutes passes.
Two scanner-integrity changes supporting the Processing Issues retry work:
- The size-change and sidecar-change update paths only printf'd their
failures, so a book whose metadata update kept failing (the Crusader
genre-22001 loop) degraded silently on every scan with nothing on the
Processing Issues page. Both paths now record an item-backed
metadata_extraction_failed issue — the same type and shape the
sidecar-extraction guard already used — and resolveIssuesForItem
clears it when an update finally succeeds.
- The archive reconciliation pass compares every library item against
what one scan saw on disk. The new per-folder scan scope runs a scan
covering a single folder, which would mark every item under the
library's OTHER folders missing and archive them on a later pass.
The pass now skips a library whose registered folders the scan only
partially covered (GetLibraryFolders vs the scan's folder set),
logging the skip.
applyAudioTagFallbacks captured the ffprobe genre atom verbatim into
media_items.genre — no splitting, no shelf resolution, no cap. That raw
capture is what fed 100+-char Audible category blobs into the column
(the 2026-10 Crusader import/update failures).
The ABS sidecar path already has the correct doctrine (ab2a5568): a known
lexicon shelf wins the genre column, everything else is tags-only. Give
the tag fallback the same treatment — splitGenreCandidates +
pickSmartGenre for the column, split candidates appended to tags
(NormalizeTags dedups). Demoted genres like "Audiobook" stop masquerading
as a shelf, and an unknown blob can no longer manufacture an overflowing
value at all.
Fixtures pin the new behavior: the real 111-char Crusader blob stays out
of the column entirely and lands as six separate tags; a shelf-carrying
blob still wins the column; the previously-pinned verbatim "Audiobook"
expectation is updated to the demoted (tags-only) contract.
The genre column was VARCHAR(100), and the audio tag fallback stores the
file's raw genre atom verbatim. Libation writes Audible's category ladder
as one comma-joined string ("Politicians, Presidents & Heads of State,
United States, Russia, Communism & Socialism, International Relations" —
111 chars), so any such book failed its import or metadata update with
SQLSTATE 22001 (value too long), taking the whole row down with it.
VARCHAR -> TEXT is a metadata-only change in Postgres and safe to re-run;
the in-place ALTER follows the media_highlights position-widening
precedent so existing databases converge on restart (schema.sql runs on
every boot).
The "This Week" reading-stats strip leaves its full-width row below the
subbar and now lives inside the library bar itself, between the switcher
and the customize/refresh actions. Expanding it opens an absolutely
positioned popover that FLOATS over the collections — opening the stats
no longer shifts the page down.
- LibrarySwitcher gains an optional `center` component slot rendered
between the left group and the actions group (nil = unused). Series
and collections call sites pass nil and render byte-identical output.
- DashboardWeekWidget redesigned for the slot: compact inline summary
(icon, "This Week", minutes; pages/sessions/books/streak reveal at
md/lg/xl) and a card popover panel with the labeled grid, sync note,
and the Full stats link moved in from the old summary row.
- Panel anchoring is responsive: below `sm` it anchors to the sticky
bar itself (details goes static; bar-anchored left-4/right-4, i.e.
screen-centered); at `sm`+ the details is relative again and the
panel centers on the widget (w-[30rem], translate-x centering).
- On phones the summary collapses to the chart icon + chevron (bar row
width is scarce); "This Week"/minutes reveal at `sm`, and the
"Your Library" title hides below `sm` to keep the row from
overlapping. Icon-only toggle carries an aria-label.
- web/src/dashboard.ts: click-outside and Escape close the popover,
re-querying #week-widget per event because htmx replaces it on
library switches. Rendering untouched (behavior-only island).
- id="week-widget" and all htmx wiring unchanged: week-refresh refetch
+ the /dashboard/week-widget fragment still drive library-scoped
refreshes behind the switch fade; stats-off suppression now yields an
empty slot via weekWidgetComponent instead of a hidden strip.
- web/static/style.css rebuilt for the new utilities.
Known behavior (unchanged or deliberate): the bar is sticky, so stats
stay visible while scrolling; a library switch re-renders the details
closed; scopes with no current-week reading show zeros (e.g. Manga).
Unidentified sync files used to be stuck: every KOReader re-sync
re-queues them, and there was no way to say "this isn't a book" or "I
don't want this one on the server".
Ignore is the durable dismiss: a new ignored_at column hides the row
from the page list, dashboard badge, and per-device API while the sync
keeps refreshing its metadata (the upsert never clears the column).
A collapsible "Ignored" section lists dismissed rows with Restore and
Delete so a misclick is recoverable. Delete is the hard exit — the row
is gone, and honestly re-queued if the device syncs that file again
(the confirm dialog says so).
Actions are page-scoped SSR routes: htmx swaps in the re-rendered
section so counts and buckets can never drift from the DB; ownership
is row → device → user (admins may act on any row). Integration tests
pin the lifecycle (hide everywhere, survive the sync upsert, restore,
delete), foreign-user 403s, and the render surface.
New wake-lock.ts engine (sanctioned island, dependency-injected for
tests): feature-detected navigator.wakeLock, silent no-op when
unsupported or denied, and the spec-mandated force-release-on-hide →
re-acquire-on-visible loop handled via the sentinel release event.
The player acquires on play and releases on pause (sleep-timer fades
ride the same path); the reader holds the lock for the session. Both
gate on the keep_screen_awake preference — data-keep-awake on the
player root, keepScreenAwake in readerInitExpr.
Hidden-tab playback intentionally does not keep the screen awake:
the spec forbids screen wake locks for hidden documents.
New users column surfaced as an On/Off dropdown in the profile form.
The form and API carry "true"/"false" strings with the theme-style
""-guard, so JSON clients that omit the field can't clobber it;
anything else is rejected. GET/PUT /api/auth/profile expose
keep_screen_awake alongside the other profile fields, and the reader
route threads the preference into its template metadata.
Integration tests pin the schema default, both values, omission
semantics, and rejection — dedicated test user, never testuser.
The combined profile handler (self-edit PUT /api/auth/profile and
admin PUT /api/auth/profile/:id) binds one struct for both paths —
and it's the admin-named one. Its twin UpdateProfileRequest had zero
references left. Delete it and rename AdminUpdateUserRequest to
ProfileUpdateRequest so the name matches who actually binds it; the
comments describing field semantics now stand on their own instead of
pointing at the deleted twin. Wire format (json/form tags) unchanged;
docs schema registration follows the rename.
docTitleOverrides now pins the label with lowercase 'and' (the naive
titleCase fallback capitalized every word); only the sidebar label was
affected — the page h1 comes from the markdown heading and was already
correct. Test pin added to TestDocTitle.
templates/csp_source_test.go scans .templ sources and fails the build on
the three authoring patterns hash-mode CSP refuses silently: native on*=
handler attributes (quote and templ brace forms), inline <script>
content outside the sanctioned theme_flash_guard.templ, and htmx's
eval-dependent bindings (hx-on*, js:-prefixed hx-vals — 'unsafe-eval' is
not granted). Verified to fire on all four violation classes via a
scratch probe file.
The dry run immediately caught a live leftover: unlinked_books.templ's
onchange="updateSelectedCount()" — CSP-refused since the hash flip.
Removed; the count already updates through the document-level delegated
change listener that x-init="setupEventDelegation()" registers.
AGENTS.md gains a "CSP discipline" ALWAYS-apply section documenting the
hash allow-list, the sanctioned-guard invariant, the replacement
patterns, and the tripwire test.
Verified: go build/vet, templates+middleware+docs tests green; /unlinked-
books loads with zero console violations (no fixture rows to exercise the
checkbox; the delegated path is unchanged code).
Follows the developer/api → API Reference carve-out: placement-only, no
file paths or URLs change. placeDoc routes user/devices/* to a new
top-level "Devices" section (icon: device) and user/admin-* to a new
top-level "Administration" section (icon: shield); User Guide keeps its
direct guides with no groups. Sidebar order: Getting Started, User
Guide, Devices, Administration, API Reference, Developer, Operations,
Contributing.
Verified live: on kobo-setup the Devices section opens with the three
device guides; on admin-guide Administration opens with both admin
guides; on user/dashboard User Guide opens as before. Tests
(TestPlaceDoc, TestBuildNavigation) updated to pin the new placement.
script-src now allow-lists the guard by sha256 of its rendered bytes
(middleware.ScriptHashThemeFlashGuard) instead of 'unsafe-inline' — the
guard is the app's only inline <script>. security_headers_test.go renders
templates.ThemeFlashGuard() and fails with the replacement hash if the
script text ever drifts.
Executing anti-XSS strict CSP surfaced three latent violations the
eval-removal sweep couldn't see (hash mode is stricter than eval mode,
because inline event handler ATTRIBUTES now count against script-src):
1. admin_archived / admin_library: 15 native onclick=/onsubmit= handlers
(modal open/close, folder-browser picker, purge button) converted to
Alpine @click/@submit component methods — openCreateLibraryModal,
hideModal, pickBrowsePath added to the admin component;
purgeArchivedItems promoted from its window global into the component
and the (window as any) exposure removed.
2. dashboard/docs: onclick handlers converted — dashboard's
event.stopPropagation() → @click.stop; docs' sidebar/search closers →
closeDocsSidebar/closeSearchResults component methods.
3. 8 onerror= image-fallback attributes (cover placeholders app-wide +
audiobook cover hide) replaced by data-fallback attributes handled by
one delegated capture-phase listener in web/src/image_fallback.ts —
works for htmx-swapped content without re-binding.
Verified: theme guard applies a saved theme on public pages under the
hash CSP; 14-page authenticated sweep clean; admin pages clean under the
promoted admin; admin-library modal open/close bindings exercised;
readers render error-free; go build/vet/middleware-test, tsc, vp
check/test (146), build:ts all green.
- Highlight color dots carried a nested-ternary + comma-sequence
expression that the CSP-safe Alpine evaluator cannot parse — the
buttons were dead. Logic moved to pickHighlightColor(color): sets
the color, saves changes for edit-mode, creates the highlight for
create-mode.
- The selection popover (and its note area) rendered above the
selection anchor with a fixed size, so on small windows or
top-of-page selections it escaped the viewport. Placement is now
window-aware: show-time clamping via estimated popover size, and a
measure-and-shift pass when the note area widens the popover (the
post-open adjustment runs well after the enter transition; mutating
during it is what breaks compositor hit-testing).
The strict CSP sweep surfaced a final class of bindings on the audio
reader and book detail pages that referenced browser globals
(Number, String, Math, window, document) — identifiers the CSP-safe
evaluator resolves only from component scope:
- audio reader: scrub input, volume slider/input, speed+skip active
styles, genre tick styles, and the default-speed select now route
through component methods (onScrubInput, setVolumeFromEvent,
applyDefaultSpeedFromSelect, volumeLabel, railTickStyle,
isSkipActive, isSpeedActive, isDefaultSpeed)
- book detail: cover-upload click and banner edit validation moved to
component methods (triggerCoverUpload, bannerEditHasText)
- admin: Refresh-to-View-Books reload moved to reloadPage()
- reader: note edit validation moved to noteEditHasText()
CSP header: frame-src 'self' blob: (foliate renders book content in
a blob: frame) and blob: on font-src/img-src (EPUB-embedded fonts
and images load as blob: URLs inside that frame). 'unsafe-eval' is
gone: script-src is 'self' plus 'unsafe-inline' for the pre-paint
theme flash guard.
Also: header openPanel promoted to the root component (one open
panel across all sidebar panels, persisted in init), with the
sidebar shell reduced to themeMode state + methods; fmtTime restored
to the audioReader component (ripped by the unexport pass — time
displays were dead on the audio reader).
- audio reader: scrub/volume/speed/genre-tick bindings converted to
component methods (onScrubInput, setVolumeFromEvent,
applyDefaultSpeedFromSelect, volumeLabel, railTickStyle,
isSkipActive/isSpeedActive) — these used Number/Math/String globals
that the CSP evaluator cannot resolve
- fmtTime restored to the audioReader component: the unexport pass
had ripped it from the Alpine.data object (time displays were dead)
- book detail: cover-upload click and banner edit validation moved to
component methods (triggerCoverUpload, bannerEditHasText)
- admin/docs/index components: init() hooks for their x-init chains
- CSP header: 'unsafe-eval' dropped — the CSP build needs no eval
- e2e spec: replace test.info().annotate (unavailable in this
Playwright version) with console logging
Standard Alpine evaluates every attribute expression through
new Function(), which a strict Content-Security-Policy cannot allow.
Swap to the official CSP-safe build (@alpinejs/csp), whose parser
evaluates expressions against registered component scope without
eval. script-src now carries only 'self' and 'unsafe-inline' (the
latter still required by the pre-paint theme flash guard).
Bindings rewritten out of the unsupported expression shapes:
- 21 multi-statement sequences across admin, audio_reader, docs,
header, index, and reader became single component methods
(init/loadWatchStatus hooks, commitScrub, pickSkip, pickSpeed,
pickDefaultSpeed, chooseSleepOption, chooseSleepClockMode,
toggleFxInvert, openPageThumbs, submitNote, clearSearch,
pickReadingTheme)
- the header sidebar's inline x-data (openPanel/themeMode IIFE)
became a registered sidebarShell component; openPanel itself moved
to the header root so every sidebar panel shares one open state
- the appearance-panel moved into the component init()
- header init() now also seeds openPanel from localStorage (or the
admin section on /admin pages)
Alpine magics (, , , ) remain available —
the CSP evaluator injects them into scope.
The Playwright suite covers the converted surfaces end to end.
Age Rating, Imprint, Scan Information, and Metadata Notes are
format-agnostic columns (the schema marks age rating 'applies to all
formats'; imprint examples span comics and books) — but they rendered
inside the Comic/Manga section, showing a manga dropdown on
audiobooks and hiding useful fields behind comic gating.
Split the editor into:
- Publication Details: Age Rating, Imprint, Scan Information,
Metadata Notes — always visible for every media type (empty for
non-comics sources: no standard metadata carries these outside
ComicInfo.xml; editable and persistent for all).
- Comic/Manga (gated by ShowComicMetadata, unchanged): Manga Type,
Reading Direction, Story Arc, Black & White.
Pure presentation move — identical form field names, no handler or
schema changes.
The metadata editor's Comic/Manga section (Manga Type, Reading
Direction, Age Rating, Story Arc, Imprint, Scan Info, Metadata
Notes, B&W) rendered for every item — an audiobook showed a manga
dropdown, which is nonsense.
MediaDetail now carries LibraryTypeName (resolved via
GetLibraryType in the /media/:uuid handler) and a
ShowComicMetadata() gate: comics and manga libraries always show the
section; other media only when the scanner recorded comic-style
values (fixed-layout manga-style EPUBs get those scanner defaults
deliberately — when present they stay editable).
Audiobookshelf-style exports join genres into one comma-string
(["Epic, Action & Adventure, Military, Sword & Sorcery"]). The
smart-genre picker already split candidates for the genre column,
but the tags assembly used the raw unsplit array — so the whole
string landed as ONE element of media_items.tags and rendered as a
single tag everywhere.
Use pickSmartGenre's split candidates for tags too, exactly as the
function's own comment documents ('split parts included stay in
tags'). Commas inside a single subject heading remain legal within
one tag (EPUB dc:subject path unchanged).
Two regressions from the cleanup cycle, caught in E2E:
1. The unexport pass stripped loadTheme, loadUserTheme, and
updateThemeIndicators from the Alpine.data("theme") registration —
the member-removal pass could not tell export-block lines from
Alpine component object lines. Theme dropdowns on docs and
non-app pages stopped reflecting the active theme. Members
restored (functions were kept, only their scope registration was
lost).
2. The new Content-Security-Policy shipped script-src without
'unsafe-eval'. Alpine evaluates every @click / x-init / x-show
expression through new Function(), so the CSP silently disabled
ALL Alpine interactivity app-wide: sidebar categories stuck open,
modals rendering unhidden and unresponsive, dropdowns inert.
script-src now includes 'unsafe-eval' with a comment explaining
the Alpine requirement.
Drops highlight.js, lunr, autoprefixer, and @types/markdown-it —
all verified unreferenced (markdown-it ships its own types). Adds
knip.json configured for the templ/htmx architecture: main.ts and
reader/reader.ts entries, vitest tests as entry points, and an
ignore list for the ten modules whose exports are bound by templ
Alpine attributes — string bindings that static analysis cannot see.
Lifecycle (internal/app + main.go):
- App.OnShutdown hooks run after the HTTP server drains, in
registration order: Worker.Shutdown (background jobs now drain
instead of dying on SIGTERM), DeviceAuthMiddleware.Stop (releases
the rate-limiter ticker), Handler.CloseScanner (fsnotify watcher
and scan log files)
Security headers:
- SecurityHeadersMiddleware (survivor of middleware/security.go,
renamed security_headers.go) is now on the echo stack: nosniff,
frame-deny, HSTS, CSP (unsafe-inline required by the sanctioned
theme flash guard + Alpine), referrer and permissions policy
Scanner settings cache:
- settings saves (UpdateScanSettings + ApplySetting for the three
scan keys) now invalidate MediaScanner's 30s settings cache via
SystemSettingsHandler.SetScanSettingsChanged, so changes apply on
the next poll instead of after the TTL
- MediaScanner.Close closes the scan logger, fixing a file-descriptor
leak on every per-item rescan (fresh scanners never closed logs)
Client fix:
- custom-section-builder's add/remove-selection buttons used inline
onclick attributes referencing module-scoped functions, which are
not global in a bundled ES module: the buttons threw ReferenceError.
Functions restored and exposed on window via declare global
Also fixes a pre-existing vet error (saveCoverImage copied
echo.Context by value, mutex included) and drops the per-key
SettingsCache.InvalidateKey variant left callerless by the
full-flush invalidation wiring.
Repo-wide gofmt sweep: const-block alignment, doc-comment spacing,
statement-after-brace fix in media.go, trailing blank lines. No
semantic changes — whitespace-insensitive diff is empty for every
file in this commit.
The clamp put deep-linked highlights flush against the sidebar's bottom
edge. Centering is simpler AND handles the max-scroll case for free:
scrollTop carries the item's center to the scrollport center, and the
browser clamps to the scroll extent — items near the nav's top/bottom
land as centered as the content allows (scroll pinned fully up/down),
which is the requested fallback.
