Beam backfilled list/get/create/update/delete media-item, search, ratings
CRUD, progress GET/PUT. Beam correctly identified create/update/delete as
jwt+admin (admin group in the router — verified).
Claude registry: 12 entries. Notable pins:
- get_media_item: hand-built ~44-key map pinned verbatim from the handler
- create/update return the full database.MediaItems row (74 columns) —
examples merged up to the real shape via gate-driven merge script
- search returns []SearchMediaItemsRow (sqlc row — Real type pinned)
- rating scale is 1-10 int (odd = half-star); GET returns {rating: null} when
absent; update reuses the create handler (201)
- progress GET: 25 base keys + 4 CONDITIONAL position-authority keys
(css_selector/anchor_href/char_offset/context_text — added by the handler
for convertible formats with a valid CFI); PUT progress binds
sync.SaveProgressRequest and returns database.ReadingProgress
- Beam's examples were missing entirely on 4 files (list/search/progress
GET/PUT) — relabeled existing fences or inserted contract-shaped blocks
Gate-driven merge scripts (object + array variants) brought all examples to
the exact handler key sets. make test 9/9.

### 400 - Library Has No Folders
|
|
|
|
When attempting to create a media item in a library that has no folders configured:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"error": "Cannot add media items to a library with no folders. Please add at least one folder to the library first."
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Solution**: Add a folder to the library first:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
POST /api/libraries/{library_id}/folders
|
|
{
|
|
"folder_path": "/path/to/library/folder"
|
|
}
|
|
```
