john-okeefe 9b3d8cc949 feat: implement collection library filter with WebSocket improvements and test coverage
This commit adds comprehensive functionality for filtering collections by library,
improves WebSocket real-time updates with user activity detection, and adds
extensive test coverage.

## Core Features

### Collection Library Filter
- Added library_id parameter to media-items search API
- Collections can now be filtered by specific library
- Toggle UI component for enabling/disabling library filter
- Default state is "checked" when library_id is present
- Consistent behavior across partial and fuzzy search modes

### WebSocket Auto-Reload Mitigation
- Added user activity detection to prevent disruptive page reloads
- Checks if user is actively typing in INPUT/TEXTAREA/SELECT elements
- Skips auto-reload when user is interacting with form elements
- Toast notifications still show for awareness
- Prevents data loss during editing operations

## Implementation Changes

### Backend
- internal/database/queries.sql.go: Added library filter support to search queries
- internal/handlers/media.go: Enhanced search with library_id parameter validation
- internal/handlers/collections.go: Updated collection handlers with library filtering
- internal/sync/websocket.go: Improved broadcast mechanism with user-scoped updates
- internal/router/frontend.go: Pass libraryID to collection templates

### Frontend
- templates/collections.templ: Added library filter toggle UI component
- web/src/collections.ts: TypeScript implementation with WebSocket integration
- templates/collections_templ.go: Generated template code

### Testing
- cmd/server/tests/search_test.go: Added TestCollectionSearchLibraryFilter
- cmd/server/tests/websocket_test.go: Added TestWebSocketUserScopedBroadcast
- New helper functions for creating libraries and media items via API
- Comprehensive test coverage for library filtering and user-scoped broadcasts

## API Documentation Updates

### Bruno Tests (Comprehensive Documentation)
- bruno/collections/*: Added detailed API documentation for all collection endpoints
- bruno/devices/*: Added device management and sync API documentation
- bruno/devices/kobo/api.yml: Kobo-specific sync protocol docs
- bruno/devices/koreader/api.yml: KOReader-specific sync protocol docs
- bruno/opds/*: Added OPDS feed and download endpoint documentation
- bruno/library/browse-folders.yml: Library folder browsing API docs

### New Bruno Tests
- bruno/media-items/Search All Libraries.yml: Test search without library filter
- bruno/media-items/Search Specific Library.yml: Test search with library filter
- bruno/media-items/Search Invalid Library ID.yml: Test error handling

## Documentation

- docs/developer/api/media-items/search_media_items.md: Updated with library_id parameter
- IMPLEMENTATION_COLLECTION_FIX.md: Comprehensive implementation guide with test scenarios

## Testing

### Integration Tests
- Library filter tests verify correct filtering across multiple libraries
- Invalid library_id tests ensure proper error handling
- WebSocket tests verify user-scoped broadcast behavior
- User A no longer receives User B's collection updates

### Manual Testing Scenarios
- Open collection in multiple tabs - updates propagate correctly
- Type in search box while another tab adds books - no disruptive reload
- Add/remove books from collection - toast notifications appear
- Toggle library filter - results update dynamically

## Technical Details

- WebSocket broadcasts are now user-scoped for privacy
- Active element detection uses tagName and contenteditable attributes
- Library ID validation uses UUID format checking
- Progressive enhancement maintained - page works without JavaScript
- All changes follow PROJECT_GUIDELINES.md conventions
- TypeScript only for frontend logic
- TailwindCSS only for styling
- Procedural programming style throughout

## Breaking Changes

None - all changes are additive and backward compatible.

Search Media Items

Search for media items by title, author, series, tags, or contributors.

Note: Search is case-insensitive and punctuation-agnostic. The search query is matched against normalized tags_search and contributors_search fields, allowing users to find matches regardless of casing or punctuation.

Examples:

  • Search "acme corp" finds items with "ACME CORP." or "Acme Corp"
  • Search "oreilly" finds items with "O'Reilly Media" or "OReilly Media"
  • Search "science fiction" finds items with "Science-Fiction" or "science-fiction"

Endpoint: GET /api/media-items/search Auth: Required

Query Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
q string Yes Search query (minimum 2 characters)
library_id string No Filter results to specific library (UUID)
limit integer No Number of results (default 20)
offset integer No Number to skip

Request Headers

Header Type Required Description
Authorization string Yes Bearer token

Example Request

Search all libraries:

GET /api/media-items/search?q=Harry+Potter&limit=20&offset=0
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...

Search within a specific library:

GET /api/media-items/search?q=Harry&library_id=123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000&limit=20
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...
