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 /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.
web/src/series.ts carried a full TypeScript twin of the templ page —
cards and paginator rendered via innerHTML from /api/series JSON,
always hardcoded to page 1. Combined with the header restore dispatch
(previous commit) it made every /series load stomp server-rendered
pagination back to page 1, which is the paginator bug reported on prod
(9 pages of series, Next kept landing on page 1, per-library only).
Rendering ownership (AGENTS.md): this page now has NO client renderer.
- grid and paginator are rendered only by templates/series.templ
- a library switch is a plain SSR navigation to
/series?library_id=...&page=1, keeping the URL the single source of
truth for both library and page state
- drops the duplicate /api/series fetch that ran on every page load
rendering-allowlist.txt: series.ts baseline entry removed — the file
no longer builds HTML anywhere.
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.
- storage.ts: Centralize ALL_LIBRARIES = "__all__" sentinel constant.
setSelectedLibrary() now writes both localStorage and a cookie
(selectedLibrary, Path=/, SameSite=Lax, max-age=365d). The
sentinel "__all__" is used in both storage mediums — empty strings
are never stored. getSelectedLibrary() maps __all__ back to "".
Cookie enables server-side rendering to read the stored library
selection without access to localStorage.
- library-switcher.ts: Import ALL_LIBRARIES and setSelectedLibrary/
getSelectedLibrary from storage.ts instead of managing localStorage
directly. Remove local constants.
- dashboard.ts: Remove duplicate localStorage.setItem call that was
overwriting the __all__ sentinel with raw empty string. Fix
reloadPage() and scan-complete handler to work with empty libraryId.
openDashboardSettings/saveDashboardSettings show clear messages for
All Libraries mode.
- collections.ts: Remove library switcher initialization from the
collections list page — the list page no longer has a switcher.
- series.ts: Rewrite to use initLibrarySwitcher from library-switcher
module and switchWithTransition for navigation. Series card links
no longer include library_id in their URLs.
- bookshelf.ts: Autocomplete fetch calls handle empty libraryId
correctly for All Libraries mode.
- search.ts, collection-rules.ts: Use setSelectedLibrary() and
getSelectedLibrary() from storage.ts instead of direct localStorage
access.
Create a new /series/detail?name=X&library_id=Y SSR page that shows
all books in a specific series, replacing the broken approach of
linking to /bookshelf?series_filter=X (the bookshelf SSR handler
ignores all filter query params).
The series detail page features:
- Back link to /series browse page
- Library selector dropdown (full page navigation on change)
- Series name header with book count badge
- Book grid using the shared BookCard template
- Empty state for series with no books
Update all links to point to the new page:
- Series cards on /series browse page
- Series badge on book detail page
- JS-rendered cards in series.ts switchLibrary
Add seriesDetailPage Alpine component for the detail page's
library switcher (simple navigation, no AJAX needed).
Create web/src/series.ts with Alpine component implementing the same
switchLibrary pattern as the dashboard:
- Fetch /api/series on library change instead of full page reload
- Fade out/in transition with loading spinner
- Re-render series grid and pagination from JSON response
- Save selected library to localStorage
Import series.ts in main.ts.
Add stacked-cascade CSS to input.css for multi-cover series cards:
- Covers cascade from top-left to bottom-right with increasing z-index
- Front cover sits at bottom-right (highest z-index)
- Separate layout rules for 1-7 covers with rotation offsets
- Hover lift effect on series cards
