templ does not interpolate { expr } inside quoted attribute values — the
braces ship as literal text (AGENTS.md gotcha #1). Swept every templ
source for the pattern and fixed all of it:
Body theme classes: 22 page bodies rendered class="theme-{ user.Theme }"
literally, so every page first-painted the :root default (Tokyo Night)
and flashed when main.js applied the real theme. All now render
class={ "theme-" + user.Theme } server-side.
Attribute interpolations (26 across 8 files):
- api_explorer: initAPIExplorerDoc path/body/response and the Copy
Request/Response buttons (invalid JS, silently dead)
- collections: book-selection :checked/@change/@click ids and four
hx-get search URLs (collection_id={ collection.ID })
- conflicts: Resolve button id
- devices: Kobo sync-url/auth-token element ids (copy lookups only
worked because the id and the lookup were the same literal)
- unlinked_books: search-matches/manual-link clicks and container ids
- queue: status/priority badge classes never matched their CSS
- dashboard: Restore-section tooltip text
- collection_rules/collections: collection icon color
Free text goes through the new templates.JSONArg (json.Marshal) —
templ.JSONString in this templ version returns (string, error) and
cannot compose in attribute expressions; uuids via device.ID.String().
Includes regen-only drift from running templ generate (error-path
normalization) on files with no source change.
Three dashboard complaints, one build:
- The widget collapses to a single summary row (This Week · minutes ·
pages · sessions · books · streak · Full stats) on every screen size
and expands to the full grid via a details/summary toggle — the
carousel sections start immediately below it again.
- The 'Your Library' heading moved into the library switcher subbar
(LibrarySwitcher gains an optional title param; collections/series
keep the plain 'Library' label). The standalone heading block is
gone.
- Root-caused the JS-switch vanishing: renderDashboardCollections
replaces ALL of #collections-container's innerHTML, so anything
server-rendered inside it (title, widget) died on the first library
switch. The widget now re-fetches ITSELF: a /dashboard/week-widget
fragment (same resolveLibrary family-lens rules as the page) is
pulled by htmx whenever the switcher dispatches week-refresh —
carrying the current #library-select value — so the widget both
survives switches and RE-SCOPES to the switched library. Initial SSR
renders the same scope the sections use.
ThisWeek (and the streak calendar) gained an optional library filter.
Tests: TestReadingStatsWeekLibraryScope — per-library totals, scoped
streaks, invisible-library isolation, malformed id 400. Full suite
PASS.
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.
Bring the tighten-ui brand treatment into new-ui:
- Replace the emoji book (📚) in the sidebar header with the book-open
icon rendered in the theme accent color, matching the tighten-ui
header brand (templates/header.templ).
- Add web/static/favicon.svg (book-open glyph, tokyo-night accent
#7aa2f7 stroke) and reference it from the <head> of all 27 page
templates, so the favicon is present on login/setup/error pages too.
- Regenerate templ output for all affected templates.
- bookshelf.templ: Fix form field name from "library" to "library_id"
to match the handler's QueryParam("library_id"). Add "All Books"
as the default option in the library filter dropdown. The bookshelf
uses its own inline filter, NOT the universal library switcher.
- collections.templ: Remove @LibrarySwitcher from the collections list
page — collections are not library-specific, so the switcher was
misleading. Fix data-id interpolation bug where {collection.ID} was
rendered as literal text instead of being interpolated.
- series.templ: Replace inline library selector with the universal
@LibrarySwitcher component. SeriesCard links no longer include
library_id since series detail always shows all books.
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 templates/series.templ with:
- Library selector dropdown (sticky, same pattern as dashboard)
- Loading spinner overlay for AJAX library switching
- Series grid with stacked-cascade multi-cover cards
- Empty state when no series found
- Pagination with Previous/Next links
- SeriesCard sub-template linking to filtered bookshelf view
Add 'Series' nav link in header between 'All Books' and 'Collections'.
Make series badge on book detail page clickable, linking to
/bookshelf?series_filter=<name>&sort=series.
Add 'Continue Series' option to restore system collection modal.
