John O'Keefe ce366b1604 feat(stats): Library tab — per-library inventory stats + audio-aware Reading tab
The /stats page gains a second tab (Reading | Library) implementing the
Audiobookshelf-style library dashboard (HANDOFF item 9): media_items
INVENTORY aggregates — items, hours/pages, distinct authors, size,
distinct narrators, Top Genres / Top Authors bars, Longest / Largest
items — for one library or the All-libraries aggregate.

- GET /api/stats/library-usage?library_id=<uuid|omit>; family lens
  enforced: a library_id outside the requester's visible set is a 403,
  never a silent pass (AGENTS.md standing rule; 431fec0 history)
- six sqlc queries with the visibility pattern + healthy-item filter
  (archived_at IS NULL AND missing_scan_count = 0); hours_mode lets the
  client swap the Hours/Pages card and the Longest ranking per scope
- Reading tab unit audit (HANDOFF item 3, settled 2026-10-16): minutes
  are the merged currency everywhere honest; only the PAGES unit splits
  — Pages card goes mode-aware (Pages · text / Listening Time in an
  audio-only pool) and the charts row gains Listening per Day (hrs)
  when audio minutes exist in the range; summary daily buckets gain
  audio_minutes split by the item's library type
- tab state in the URL (?tab=library&library_id=…); selector fed by the
  existing /api/libraries/visibility endpoint; main.js?v=4
- integration tests: family-lens 403 pin, hidden-library exclusion
  (differential), seeded text+audio aggregate correctness, auth gate
- docs/developer/api/stats/get_library_usage.md

Known-remaining suite failures are environmental: TestConflictList_Empty
+ TestWebSocketPingPong collide with the concurrently-running app session
(live emulator pushes + scans on the shared dev DB), and
TestAdminCreateUser's timezone expectation drifted from live system
settings — all three fail on the clean tree too.

Get Library Usage Statistics

The /stats page's Library tab payload: media_items inventory aggregates (what is IN the library), not reading behavior. Mirrors the Audiobookshelf library dashboard's information architecture.

Endpoint: GET /api/stats/library-usage Auth: Required (any authenticated user)

Query Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
library_id string (UUID) No Scope to one library. Omit to aggregate across ALL of the requesting user's visible libraries.

Family-lens rule

Every response is scoped to the requester's visible-library set (library_visibility, default-ALLOW). An explicit library_id OUTSIDE that set is a 403 — never a silent pass. Omitted library_id aggregates only visible libraries.

Example Request

GET /api/stats/library-usage?library_id=8c8d0cee-1cca-4def-9a37-edad3a4d438b
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...

Field semantics

Field Meaning
library_id "" when the scope is the All-libraries aggregate.
items Healthy media items (archived / missing-scan rows never count).
authors DISTINCT non-empty author values.
narrators DISTINCT values unnested from the narrators TEXT[] column across the scope.
total_size_bytes SUM of file_size.
total_seconds SUM of audio_metadata.duration_seconds — real audio hours; 0 for text libraries.
total_pages SUM of page_count — meaningful for text libraries; 0 for audiobooks.
hours_mode true when audio-duration data exists in scope: the client renders the time card in HOURS and ranks Longest Items by seconds. false: the time card renders in PAGES and Longest Items ranks by pages. The client decides — the payload always carries both sums.
genres Top 5 non-empty genre by item count (ties break alphabetically).
top_authors Top 10 non-empty author by item count (ties break alphabetically).
longest_items Top 5 by seconds (hours mode) or pages (pages mode).
largest_items Top 5 by file_size — works for every library type.

Absent data

Audio Tracks (Audiobookshelf's per-file count) is deliberately absent: Bookhoard audiobooks are one file per book until multi-file support lands, so a file count would just equal items. See HANDOFF item 9.
