john-okeefe 74009f66b5 refactor: restructure Bruno API collection for consistency
Standardize all Bruno API request files with consistent formatting and
structure to improve maintainability and readability.

Changes include:
- Consolidate URL parameters into main URL instead of separate definitions
- Standardize quote style (double quotes throughout)
- Add proper settings section with defaults (timeout, redirects, etc.)
- Improve YAML formatting with literal style for multi-line content
- Remove redundant fields (disabled: false)
- Clean up header and body structure
- Update sequence numbers for better organization
- Add scenarios folder structure for organized test groupings

Removes obsolete Search Invalid Library ID test case.

Environment configuration updated with new library_id for testing.

These changes improve the Bruno collection's maintainability and make
it easier to create new API requests following established patterns.

## Field Values Search - Authors
Fetches distinct author values for autocomplete dropdowns with counts and similarity scores.
**Method:** GET
**Endpoint:** /api/media-items/search
**Authentication:** Required (Bearer token)
**Query Parameters:**
- `library_id` (string, required): Library UUID to search within
- `author` (string, required): Author name to search for (fuzzy match)
- `limit` (integer, optional): Maximum results to return (default: 50)
**How It Works:**
- Returns distinct author names from the library
- Fuzzy matches the search query against author names
- Includes count of books per author
- Includes similarity score (0-1, higher = better match)
- Sorted by similarity score, then by count
**Use Case:**
- Populate autocomplete dropdown when user types in author filter field
- Show user available authors with book counts
- Help users discover similar author names
**Response:** HTTP 200 (OK)
```json
{
"results": [
{
"value": "Asimov, Isaac",
"count": 47,
"score": 0.8
},
{
"value": "Asimov, Isaac & Robert Silverberg",
"count": 2,
"score": 0.75
}
],
"total": 2
}
```
**Examples:**
- `author=asimov` → Returns "Asimov, Isaac" (47 books), "Asimov, Isaac & Robert Silverberg" (2 books)
- `author=rowling` → Returns "Rowling, J.K." (10 books)
- `author=tolkien` → Returns "Tolkien, J.R.R." (15 books)
**Frontend Integration:**
- Call this endpoint when user types ≥2 characters in author field
- Display results in `<datalist>` or custom dropdown
- Show: "Author Name (count)" format
- Allow user to select from suggestions
**Success Criteria:**
- Status: 200
- Returns array of author values with counts
- Results sorted by relevance (similarity score)
- Only returns authors matching the fuzzy search
