John O'Keefe 4a6fb033cb docs(media-items): Work Order 3 batch 3b — management endpoints (8)
New frontmatter'd docs:
- download (ServeFile — raw bytes, family-lens enforced; corrects the old
  download doc's claim that no download route is registered: ServeFile IS
  routed, DownloadBook is the dead code)
- set_audio_speed (speed range 0.25-4.0, NaN/Inf rejected)
- rescan (abridged example over the full 70+-column row; write-after-success
  guarantee noted)
- purge-archived (destructive, admin), unarchive (204), merge (SHA-256
  precondition, per-user collisions keep active copy)
- facets (two modes: facet+values, field autocomplete counts)
- filter_count (family lens)

Registry: RawMessage pins for map/abridged responses; Schema{} for non-JSON
body routes (download = raw bytes; unarchive = 204). Audit now:
missing docs down to ~55 (from 112), 0 orphans.

Merge Archived Media Item

Admin only. Merges an archived/missing item's reading data (progress, annotations, highlights, notes, bookmarks, ratings, collections, Kobo shelves) into an active item with identical content (same SHA-256), then deletes the archived row. Covers the copy-then-delete-later workflow. Per-user collisions keep the active copy's data (mirrors hash-conflict resolution).

Example request

{
  "target_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000"
}

Example response

{
  "message": "Merged reading progress, annotations, and collections into the active item"
}
