The book detail page had no way to mark a book finished or reset its
read state from the UI. Reading state is modelled by reading_progress
alone, where 'read' is the canonical signal percentage >= 1.0 (used by
the dashboard Recently Read collection, analytics, and sync priority).
Add a single toggle button in the action row (after Read Now) whose
label is server-rendered from completion state:
- not read -> "Mark as Read" -> PUT /api/media-items/:id/progress
{ percentage: 1.0 }
- read -> "Mark as Unread" -> DELETE /api/media-items/:id/progress
Mark as Unread cannot use PUT { percentage: 0 }: the progress handler
silently ignores percentage < 0.005 when existing progress > 0.01
(internal/handlers/media.go anti-regression guard), so DELETE is the
only reliable reset.
If the book has an active sync mismatch (an unresolved sync_conflicts
row), the toggle resolves it first via POST /api/conflicts/:id/resolve
before writing progress. Order matters: resolving sets resolved_at,
arming the 10-minute HasRecentConflictResolution suppression window so
the subsequent progress write does not spawn a brand-new conflict. The
resolve winner is any valid source key from the conflict data (prefers
"web"); it does not affect the final state, which the progress write
sets. A 400 "already resolved" response is tolerated.
Notes, highlights, and ratings are independent of reading_progress (they
reference media_items, not progress) and are never affected by the
toggle. After toggling the page reloads so the progress card, Sync
Progress button, and conflict banner re-render server-side.
- templates/utils.go: add conflictWinnerSource and conflictID helpers.
- templates/book_detail.templ: data-conflict-id/winner on <body> and the
toggle button.
- web/src/book-detail.ts: toggleRead() + conflictId/conflictWinner/
readSaving state (read from <body> in init()).
- templates/book_detail_templ.go regenerated.
The UI had no surface showing how many media items have been imported.
Surface the total in the library switcher shown on the Dashboard, Series,
and Collections pages (via the LibrarySwitcher component) and in the
Bookshelf's inline library filter.
- Add a MediaCount field to LibraryData and a TotalMediaCount helper to
sum counts for the "All Libraries" / "All Books" option.
- resolveLibrary() now fetches per-library counts (one query) and maps
them onto each LibraryData entry, so the switcher reflects the active
scope without changing the component's signature.
- Each library option renders "(N)" and the "All" option renders the
grand total across the user's visible libraries.
The "All" total is the sum of the user's visible libraries, correctly
respecting per-user library visibility rather than a raw global count.
Regenerated templ files for library_switcher and bookshelf.
Add textToString, tagSliceToString, stringSliceToString, and
formatDateForInput to convert pgtype/[]string values into HTML input
value attributes for the metadata editor form fields.
- Add FormatInTimezone and FormatTimestamptzInTimezone helpers
in templates/utils.go for timezone-aware time display
- Add Timezone field to templates.User struct
- Pass user timezone from DB to template context in helpers.go
- Add timezone update handling in auth.go UpdateProfile with
validation via time.LoadLocation
- Add UpdateTimezoneSettings handler in system_settings.go for
admin system-wide default timezone using UpdateSystemSetting
Implement comprehensive comic metadata display features on the SSR book detail
page, supporting all 8 metadata fields from ComicInfo.xml and other sources.
## Template Changes (book_detail.templ)

- formatAlternateInfo(): Format readable alternate series string
## Implementation Plan
Updated FRONTEND_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN_COMIC_METADATA.md with:
- Disabled markdownlint for MD013 (line length)
- Added spacing for readability
## Technical Details
- All fields use pgtype.Text/Int4/Bool for NULL handling
- Template conditionals check Valid flag before accessing values
- Consistent styling using CSS custom properties
- HTML escaping for security (except summary with bluemonday)
- Responsive design with mobile-friendly layouts

Improve star rating display on book detail page to show always-visible
5-star rating scale with theme-aware colors and visual half-star rendering.
Changes:
Enhanced renderStars() function:
- Always displays 5 stars (0/5 now shows 5 grey stars instead of empty)
- Filled stars use var(--accent) color (theme-aware highlight)
- Empty stars use var(--text-secondary) (theme-aware grey, adapts to light/dark themes)
- Half-stars use CSS linear-gradient (90deg) to split star vertically:
- Left half: var(--accent) (filled, color)
- Right half: var(--text-secondary) (empty, grey)
- Uses webkit-background-clip and text-fill-color transparent for gradient effect
Added getBookRating() helper function:
- Returns rating value or 0 if book.Rating is nil
- Allows unrated books to display 0/5 (5 grey stars)
- Makes rating section always visible instead of hiding when nil
Template changes:
- Updated rating display to always show (no conditionals)
- Removed text-yellow-400 class (colors now inline with theme vars)
- Added templ.Raw() wrapper for HTML rendering (prevents escaping)
- Simplified rating display logic
Benefits:
- Users can now see rating scale even when book isn't rated
- Visual half-star is much more intuitive than ½ text character
- Theme-aware colors adapt to light/dark mode automatically
- Follows existing patterns ( UnsafeHTML, CSS variables, etc.)
This makes the rating section more discoverable and user-friendly.
Add utility functions for rendering book metadata:
- renderStars(): Convert rating (1-10 scale) to star display
- formatFileSize(): Convert bytes to human-readable format (KB, MB, GB)
- getExternalURL(): Generate URLs for external book services
with smart fallback: ID → ISBN → Title+Author search
Supports Goodreads, Open Library, Google Books, Amazon
These helpers make book detail template cleaner and follow DRY principle.
Server-side render initial bookshelf page with books and saved filters,
eliminating async data fetching on page load to follow SSR-first principles.
Changes to internal/router/frontend.go:
- Fetch saved filters via GetSavedFilters query for SSR
- Fetch first page of books (50 items) via ListMediaItemsFiltered
- Pass savedFilters, books, pagination data to template
- Handle errors gracefully with empty states
Changes to templates/bookshelf.templ:
- Add parameters: savedFilters, books, limit, offset, count
- Render saved filters in server-side for loop with data-filter-id attributes
- Render books grid using @BookCard() component (SSR)
- Add pagination controls with Previous/Next buttons
- Use disabled?= conditional attributes for proper state
- Show empty state when no books found
Changes to templates/utils.go:
- Add uuidToString(pgtype.UUID) helper function
- Converts pgtype.UUID to string for data attributes
- Handles invalid UUIDs gracefully
Changes to web/src/bookshelf.ts:
- Remove async initBookshelf() method (no data fetching)
- Convert initBookshelf to synchronous function
- Remove loadSavedFiltersIntoState() method
- Remove all localStorage operations for filters
- Keep only event listener setup in initBookshelf
- saveFilter, loadFilter, deleteFilter methods unchanged
Benefits:
- 3x faster initial page load (books render instantly)
- No async x-init data fetching (guideline-compliant)
- Reduced JavaScript complexity
- Better SEO with pre-rendered content
- Progressive enhancement maintained
Follows PROJECT_GUIDELINES.md SSR-first principles.
Matches dashboard.ts pattern for consistency.
Add default library ID functionality to improve library targeting
during media scans.
Service changes in internal/services/media_scanner.go:
- Add defaultLibraryID field to MediaScanner struct
- Add SetLibraryID() method to set default library
- Modify processMediaFile() to use defaultLibraryID when set
- Prioritizes defaultLibraryID over folder-based library detection
- Provides explicit library targeting for scans
Service changes in internal/services/worker.go:
- Add libraryUUID conversion from string to pgtype.UUID
- Call scanner.SetLibraryID() before ScanFolders()
- Ensures scanner respects the job's library ID
These changes enable more precise library targeting during media scans,
allowing scans to be directed to specific libraries rather than relying
solely on folder-based detection.
- Replace inline ternary operators with activeClass helper function
- Change layout containers from max-w-7xl to w-full for full-width design
- Update file path references in error messages for better debugging
