Phase 1 of the series/collections/metadata overhaul
(~/.opencode/plan/series-collections-metadata-overhaul.md).
Schema (in place, idempotent):
- media_items.series_number INTEGER -> DOUBLE PRECISION: real-world
ordinals are decimals (0.5, 1.5 novellas); INTEGER silently truncated
them (calibre 2.5 pinned as 2 in tests).
- + subtitle TEXT, explicit BOOLEAN (sidecar ingest; ABS explicit /
Audible isAdult).
- + authors/authors_search/publishers/publishers_search TEXT[] NOT NULL
(narrators A2a precedent). Arrays are write truth; author/publisher
varchars become trigger-regenerated display strings
(sync_author_publisher_display) so every varchar consumer (trgm
search, facets, API, OPDS/Kobo) keeps working unchanged.
- Row-level NULL normalization for the new arrays in
set_library_type_name (A2 lesson: Go nil -> explicit NULL -> 23502).
- Backfills ARRAY[author]/ARRAY[publisher] — deliberately no
comma-splitting ('Tolkien, J.R.R.' would corrupt; scanner kept only
authors[0] historically).
- collection_items.position INTEGER + (collection_id, position) index
for playlist ordering.
Go: sqlc regen; MediaMetadata/handler params gain Subtitle/Explicit/
Authors/Publishers (legacy singles still accepted, arrays win);
SeriesNumber int32 -> float64 end to end; metadata_overrides adapted
with legacy override keys ('author'/'publisher') preserved so existing
user overrides survive; bulk author edit writes the array.
Pins widened (docs/contract_pins.md): raw sqlc row key set + the six
new columns; changelog entry added.
Verified: unit suite green; integration sweep (bulk/smart collections/
scanner/stats/sync/queue/calibre/pins/audiobooks) green against the
shared dev DB after in-place migration. Pre-existing unrelated red:
TestOwnershipAndAdminTestSuite/TestAdminCreateUser timezone inheritance
fails identically at the pre-change commit (live shared state).
Phase 1 (foundation): 'audiobooks' library type seeded (schema + DB);
audio_metadata JSONB on media_items (the kobo_metadata precedent —
only audio paths read it); reading_progress.audio_offset_seconds for
the honest {chapter, offset} locator; extensions/mimes registered for
ALL breadth formats (m4b/m4a/mp3/flac — deliberate per the DOC/LIT
doctrine, m4b scans richly first); classifyFormatGroup 'audiobook'
case (gotcha 39 recomputes on rescan); Go mime table extended at boot
so media elements accept the streams; ffmpeg/ffprobe in the image
(8.1.2 — also the xHE-AAC identification tripwire).
Phase 2 (ingest): sidecar-first (Libation/ABS metadata.json —
narrators/ASIN/curated chapters), ffprobe fallback/filler (duration,
bitrate, codec/profile, embedded chapters). Fixed three real
parser brittlenesses the Libation sidecar exposed: series accepts
string OR array-of-objects, publishedYear accepts number OR string,
ffprobe chapter timings accept number OR string (flexFloat). Folder-
structure fallback now runs on the UPDATE path too (rescans were
clearing sidecar-absent series/author); audio facts re-derive on
every rescan (gotcha 39).
Phase 3 (playback + sync): GET /api/media-items/:id/chapters (the
format-abstraction list); streaming rides the existing cookie-authed
Range /uploads path; PUT progress carries audio_offset_seconds +
elapsed_seconds (honest wall-clock playing time) — the reading-
history capture prefers player-reported elapsed over the inter-push
delta, same 2h ceiling; reading_mode='audio' marks the row.
Phase 4 (web player): dedicated audio reader page (foliate not
involved) — cover, chapter title, whole-book scrubber, skip ± (chips
1/5/10/15/30s, default 10s), speed (0.75×–2×), chapter list with
jump-to, Media Session lockscreen/notification transport, periodic
playing-only progress pushes, position restore on open.
Verified live: ingest of the Libation sample (Gardens of the Moon —
title/author/series/cover/date from sidecar+folders, 34 chapters,
26h duration, aac/LC); chapters endpoint; the reader route serving
the player; playback with position restore (0:57 round-trip);
progress rows in audio mode; wall-clock session rows in
reading_history.
Unit tests:
- series_service_test.go: test continueSeriesRowToMediaItems conversion
with valid fields, null fields, and comprehensive field mapping
- series_test.go: test handler initialization and textToString helper
Integration tests (series_integration_test.go):
- GET /api/series: requires library_id, rejects invalid UUID, returns
empty array for empty library, pagination params, limit clamped to
100, response structure validation, special characters in names
- GET /api/series/books: requires library_id and name, handles
nonexistent series, unauthorized access
- Restore Continue Series system collection
- Dashboard sections include all 5 collections (including continue-series)
Update test helpers:
- Add SeriesHandler to setupTestServer router config
- Add 5th Continue Series collection to createDefaultCollectionsForUser
- Update dashboard integration test for 5 collections
