Three problems, one root cause each: 1. Sidebar jump: the server rendered its own default (current section open, rest collapsed) and restoreDocsNav corrected it after paint — open-then-close. Fix: persistence moved server-side. toggleCollapsible now writes a docs_nav cookie (strictly-necessary UI state, no identifiers, SameSite=Lax); ApplyNavOverrides merges it into the nav before render, so first paint IS the visitor's state. The post-paint restore is deleted. 2. Arrows out of sync / double-click: two visibility mechanisms disagreed. There was NO data-collapsed CSS at all — collapsed sections were only ever hidden by JS after paint, and the arrow rotation came from a different (server) state. Now: style.css hides on [data-collapsed=true] (single source of truth, server-rendered), applyCollapsed sets only the attribute, arrows rotate from the same merged value. Live check: 37/37 collapsibles arrow-consistent. 3. api-reference.md links: all 20+ quick links were directory-style (authentication/ etc.) that 404 on the docs site, plus stale targets (books/, ../collections-api.md, websocket 'coming soon'). Rewritten to real per-file links — all 9 unique targets return 200 live. Same rot fixed in admin/hash-conflicts.md, development.md, android-app.md, create_media_item.md, koreader-protocol.md; docs/index.md redirected from the deleted collections-api monolith (stale 530-line duplicate of the gated api/collections docs — deleted, per the WO2 doctrine). New gate: TestDocsRelativeLinks walks docs/developer/** and fails make test on any relative link that is directory-style or unresolvable — overview links can never silently rot again.

### 400 - Library Has No Folders
|
|
|
|
When attempting to create a media item in a library that has no folders configured:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"error": "Cannot add media items to a library with no folders. Please add at least one folder to the library first."
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Solution**: Add a folder to the library first:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
POST /api/libraries/{library_id}/folders
|
|
{
|
|
"folder_path": "/path/to/library/folder"
|
|
}
|
|
```
