John O'Keefe e21e1facde docs(media-items,collections,koreader,admin): Beam batch 11 — final backfill
All remaining endpoint docs frontmatter'd: media-item bulk ops + audio
surface, collections book-listing/preview, koreader rating/review/stats
plugin protocol, hash-conflicts JSON list.

Scope call (Claude): resolve_hash_conflict.md DELETED — the resolve POST
renders an htmx fragment (renderResolved), a web-admin flow under rule 3;
only the GET list is a JSON API. update_media_review skipped by Beam
(correct): ratings/upsert_media_review.md already covers the PUT.

Registry: 16 entries. koreader rating/review/stats all bind
koreaderBookRef (query or body) — odd=half-star rating scale; audio track
endpoint serves raw bytes (ServeContent, Range) — response nil. Fixed
drift: deleted_annotations doc's secondary restore/purge fences
unlabeled (gate validates labeled blocks against the ONE frontmatter
route); chapters example labeled. UNVERIFIED: 1 (koreader book-ref
fields, push_stats). make test 9/9.

Deleted Annotations History

List, restore, or permanently delete tombstoned annotations (highlights, notes, bookmarks) for a book. Deletions — from the web or propagated from a synced device — are soft-deleted and retained for the sync retention window (default 30 days), powering the book page's "Recently deleted" list. A restore returns the row to the active set on every synced device; a purge removes it immediately and irreversibly.

All endpoints require user JWT authentication and operate only on the caller's own annotations.

List Deleted Annotations

Endpoint: GET /api/media-items/:id/annotations/deleted

Returns tombstoned annotations for the book, newest deletion first.

Response (200 OK)

{
  "deleted_annotations": [
    {
      "id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",

Field Description
annotation_type highlight, note, or bookmark
display_text Highlighted text / note content / bookmark title
secondary_text Note text (highlights) or notes field (bookmarks)

Restore Deleted Annotation

Endpoint: POST /api/media-items/:id/annotations/:annotationId/restore

Body (or query param) annotation_type must be highlight, note, or bookmark. Clears the tombstone; the annotation reappears in the active set and re-syncs to devices on their next pull.

{ "annotation_type": "highlight" }

Response (200 OK)

{ "restored": true }

404 when no matching deleted annotation exists for this user and book.

Permanently Delete Annotation

Endpoint: DELETE /api/media-items/:id/annotations/:annotationId?annotation_type=highlight|note|bookmark

Removes the tombstoned row from the history immediately. Irreversible — unlike the tombstone itself, which is restorable until the retention window lapses and the daily maintenance sweep purges it.

Response (200 OK)

{ "purged": true }

Error Responses
