Follow-up to the sweep route audit, correcting its diagnosis: the CLI
DOES read .yml bodies — via OpenCollection's `body.data` string form
(the NewDevDBSetup script always worked because it used it). The
failing scenario POSTs used `body.json` (structured) / `body.jsonBody`
(string) — keys the CLI silently ignores, sending Content-Length: 0
with form-urlencoded content-type, so every server bind failed.
- 81 bodies converted to data-form (json maps serialized; jsonBody
strings kept verbatim, {{vars}} intact).
- 6 pre-existing TRUNCATED payloads repaired: the original generator
cut bodies at the first {{var}} (every SHA-256-identified scenario
plus Sync Progress/Sync Bookmarks shipped mid-JSON and 400'd from
day one). Rewritten whole, faithful to each file's documented
purpose; book_sha256/book_uuid added to the environment.
- environments: opds_base_url correction from the sweep retained.
Verified live against the rebuilt dev container: the full koreader
scenario tree runs green through `bru run` — 14/14 (202s across
immediate/checkpoint/SHA-256 progress, 200s bookmarks, highlights,
notes; SHA-256 book identification exercised against a real
file_sha256).
Three bugs fixed:
1. Schema seeded base_url with fake placeholder 'bookhoard.example.com'.
Removed seed; startup now seeds from BASE_URL env var only if DB row
is empty (admin changes persist across restarts). One-time UPDATE
clears the placeholder in existing installs.
2. config.GetBaseURL() had a broken type assertion (local SystemConfigRow
vs database.SystemConfig) that always failed, returning . Admin panel
showed env var fallback instead of actual DB value. Fixed with a
function-type getter that properly wraps the DB query.
3. OPDS handler read base_url only from DB with no fallback. When DB had
the placeholder, all feed links pointed to an unreachable domain,
breaking KOReader search/download. Added deriveBaseURL() helper that
falls back to the request Host/scheme when DB value is empty.
Setup gate improvements:
- isSetupComplete now requires both admin user AND non-empty base_url
- Setup middleware no longer exempts all /api/ routes; only allows
/api/auth/register, /api/auth/login, /api/system/config before setup
is complete. All other API routes get 503.
- Cache invalidated when base_url is saved via admin settings
Dev workflow:
- New bruno/NewDevDBSetup/SetBaseUrl.yml for dev DB setup
- NewDB.sh runs SetBaseUrl between RegisterUser and CreateEbookLibrary
