- Add custom section builder functionality (Phase 9.3)
  - Template for creating filter-based sections with auto-assign rules
  - Dynamic rule builder UI (field, operator, value, priority)
  - Preview functionality to see matching books before creating
  - Integration with existing collections API

- Add TypeScript implementation (Phase 10.3)
  - web/src/custom-section-builder.ts
  - Procedural style with event delegation
  - Rule collection, preview, and form submission
  - No duplicate event listeners (delegation only)

  - Unit tests for dashboard service (filter, reorder)
  - Unit tests for dashboard handler (buildSections, helpers)
  - Integration tests with test_helpers for API endpoints
  - Integration tests for custom collections with auto-assign
  - Coverage requirements (>80%)

- Add collections preview endpoint
  - POST /api/collections/preview
  - Evaluates auto-assign rules against library items
  - Returns matching books for preview

- Add /custom-section route
  - GET route for custom section builder page
  - SSR rendering with libraries selector
  - Linked from dashboard settings modal

- Update database schema
  - Keep smart_section_types table for 4 default smart sections
