handlers textToString, router textToString, router getText, and utils
normText were four copies of the same NULL-to-empty unwrap (99 call
sites). One exported utils.PgTextString replaces them all; the private
normText (comparison normalizer) stays but is now the odd one out.
Harness fix found on the way: setupTestServer built a full wiring
literal for route registration and then RETURNED a second, sparser
literal that never copied AnnotationService — setup.AnnotationService
was always nil on the struct every test receives. Nobody noticed until
cross_library_move_test became the first caller (it previously used
the now-retired plain CreateMediaHighlight query); it now exercises
the real SaveHighlight path through the wired service.
Construct the SettingsRegistry at boot, load it, and thread it through
every consumer so the configurable values take effect and stay cached.
cmd/server/main.go:
- Build the registry from the Queries handle and Load() it right after
schema init; a load failure logs and continues (getters fall back to
compiled defaults, so startup is never blocked).
- Wire the registry into the package-level password validator
(SetDefaultPasswordSettings) and call SetSettings on every handler/
service that reads tunables: AuthHandler, DeviceAuthMiddleware,
OPDSHandler, SidecarHandler, SystemSettingsHandler,
AnnotationService, ConversionService.
- Source the restart-time values from the registry: login lockout
(max attempts + duration) feeds NewLoginAttemptTracker, and the new
NewSyncQueueProcessorWithConfig / NewWorkerWithConfig take the sync
queue and worker pool configs.
router.go:
- Config gains a Settings *database.SettingsRegistry field.
- The global auth rate limiter now reads RequestsPerMinute from
registry.AuthRateLimit() (env stays as the enabled/disabled switch
and as the fallback if the registry is unset).
admin_library.go:
- The HTMX scan-settings save endpoint reloads the registry after
writing so the change is visible without a page reload.
- Add PUT /admin/settings/tunable: a small HTMX endpoint that calls
SystemSettingsHandler.ApplySetting and returns a colored status
snippet ("Saved" or "Saved — restart required") for the admin UI's
per-row forms.
