- The desktop-on-Android bug: 8 page templates (admin, admin_settings,
admin_users, admin_library, admin_archived, admin_hash_conflicts,
admin_processing_issues, profile) lacked the viewport meta, so mobile
browsers fell back to a ~980px layout viewport and rendered the
desktop layout. Added the same meta the other 21 pages already had —
partials without a head were skipped deliberately.
- Admin Users page: the create-user form no longer dominates the page —
it is hidden behind an explicit '+ Create User' button (Alpine
x-show/x-cloak, the site-wide convention) with a Close control.
- The user list is responsive: table on md+, stacked per-user cards
below. Role/delete controls are shared partials with DOM-id suffixes
so both renderings keep unique swap targets (last-admin protections
preserved in both).
The family-lens hardening: library_visibility was only enforced where
file bytes flowed (download/reader/OPDS) — metadata surfaces leaked
hidden libraries to any authenticated account, and registration was
open by default with no admin-side user creation.
- Series are grouped PER LIBRARY now (same name in two libraries =
two entries: manga adaptations / LN splits no longer merge);
/api/series aggregates only the requester's VISIBLE libraries and
/api/series/books REQUIRES a visible library_id (breaking contract;
web + app clients updated in the same change).
- /api/media-items, item detail, and the reader content endpoints
(chapters/panels/outline/THUMBNAILS — page images leaked unguarded
next to a gated GetPage) all enforce the visible set; resolveLibrary
no longer honors a hand-typed library_id outside the visible set.
- Annotation/note/bookmark mutations (update/delete/tombstone, sync
LWW paths incl. conflict resolution) carry ownership predicates:
another account's bare row id is a 404, not a silent delete.
- Admin user creation: POST /api/auth/users (AdminMiddleware) + a
Create User card in the admin Users UI — accounts stay creatable
with self-service registration OFF, which is now the schema default
(fresh installs; the first-admin bootstrap exception is unchanged).
- Tests: series contract re-pinned (per-library, visibility 403s),
new ownership + admin-create integration suites, OPDS all=1 test
now passes an explicit page size (shared-DB growth made the fresh
books fall off page 1), device-cap helper switched to the admin
endpoint.
One boolean (Security > Public Registration) switches the whole public
signup lifecycle: front page + login links, the logged-out sidebar's
Create-an-account (via a package-level templates hook so shared page
templates keep their signatures), GET /register -> 302 /login, and an
early 403 on POST /api/auth/register. First-user exception preserved:
zero admins keeps every route and link reachable for bootstrapping —
same 'users exist' reasoning as the setup gate. Admin user creation is
unaffected by design.
Live E2E verified: flag off hides all surfaces and blocks the POST
(403), flag on restores them (201); the admin UI renders the row
automatically.
Covers the copy-then-delete-later workflow: a user copies books to a new
library, deletes the originals, and ends up with an active copy in the new
library plus an archived twin holding the real reading history. Until now
those twins could only be purged (destroying the history) or restored
(showing a permanently broken entry).
- POST /api/media-items/:id/merge (admin only, body {target_id}):
validates the source is archived/missing, the target is active, and
both share the same file_sha256; then re-parents every child row onto
the target via the existing reparent_media_item_children function (the
same machinery as hash-conflict resolution) and deletes the source row.
Per-user collisions keep the active copy's data, mirroring that flow.
Affected data: reading progress, speed, ratings, highlights, notes,
bookmarks (including tombstoned deleted-annotation history), formats,
collections, kobo shelves/entitlements, sync rows, panel data,
processing issues, and device aliases.
- GET /admin/archived: ListHiddenMediaItems' match_* columns surface each
row's best active twin; rows with a twin get a confirm-guarded "Merge"
button (data-merge-source/-target) next to Restore/Delete, wired in
web/src/admin.ts like the existing unarchive/delete handlers.
- templates.ArchivedItem gains MatchID/MatchTitle/MatchLibraryName;
frontend.go populates them from the listing row.
After a merge the archived row is gone, so the retention purge can never
destroy the merged data. Deleted-annotation tombstones carry over and
remain restorable from the target book's "recently deleted" history.
Admins need to see what the archive lifecycle is holding: a dedicated
/admin/archived page listing every hidden item (archived or still in
the missing grace window) with library, file path, status, and - when
retention is enabled - the exact date it will be permanently deleted
(archived_at + ARCHIVE_RETENTION_DAYS).
Per row: Restore (POST /api/media-items/:id/unarchive, clears the
archive state so it reappears; if the file is still gone the next scan
hides it again) and Delete (existing DELETE endpoint for single-row
purge with its reading history). Purge All Archived reuses the existing
bulk button. The library admin banner links to the page and keeps its
purge button; row actions use data attributes with delegated listeners
in admin.ts since this templ version has no JSFunctionCall helper.
Verified live: page 200 with purge dates shown, unarchive returned 204
and reset the row, per-item delete and bulk purge ({purged:1}) both
removed their rows with no leftovers.
