John O'Keefe 18084de7a6 docs(book-matching,collections): Beam batch 10 — 15 endpoints
WO3 sync internals resolved: the book-matching docs ARE the sync surface
(books/query, link-book, bulk/auto-link, unlinked-books, suggestions,
file-alias CRUD) + collections rule/test/bulk-assign/shelf-mapping
surface.

Dedupe resolved (Claude call): search_books.md declared
GET /api/books/match but its BODY documents POST /api/sync/books/query —
both routes exist and are distinct (query-param device protocol vs JSON
body plugin protocol). Repointed search_books.md frontmatter to the POST
route; get_book_matches.md keeps the GET.

Claude registry: 15 entries (one pre-existing link-book entry deduped).
Drift fixed by gate: auto-link request {confidence_threshold, limit} not
{device_id, threshold}; bulk-link link objects {unlinked_book_id,
media_item_id, confidence_score} not {device_id, book_id, ...};
responses {results,total,successful,failed}/{auto_linked,results}; added
missing example-responses (bare delete, remove-rule is_smart-after
semantics, bulk-assign per-book results). make test 9/9.

# Create Shelf Mapping
Map a collection to a device shelf for syncing.
**Endpoint**: `POST /api/devices/{deviceId}/collections`
**Auth**: Required
**Content-Type**: `application/json`
## Path Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ------------- | -------- | ----------- |
| deviceId | string (UUID) | Yes | Device UUID |
## Request Body
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| ----------------- | ------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| collection_id | string (UUID) | Yes | Collection UUID to map |
| device_shelf_name | string | Yes | Name of the shelf on the device |
| sync_direction | string | No | Sync direction (default: "bidirectional") |
### Sync Directions
| Direction | Description |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| bidirectional | Sync both ways between Bookhoard and device |
| book_to_hoard | Bookhoard → Device only |
| device_to_hoard | Device → Bookhoard only |
| none | No sync (mapping only for reference) |
### Example Request
```json example-request
{
"collection_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"device_shelf_name": "Sci-Fi",
"sync_direction": "bidirectional"
}
```
## Response (201 Created)
```json example-response
{
"id": "990e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"collection_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
"device_shelf_name": "Sci-Fi",
"sync_direction": "bidirectional",
"created_at": "2026-02-01T10:00:00Z",
"device_id": null
}
```
## Use Case
Collections can be synced to device-specific shelves (Kobo, KOReader). This allows automatic organization of books on your e-reader based on your Bookhoard collections.
