john-okeefe eecfb52996 docs: Incorporate old Phase 1 features into Phase 0.5
Incorporates all old Phase 1 job queue concurrency control features
into Phase 0.5 to fix fsnotify reliability issues comprehensively.

Features Added from Old Phase 1:
- Job queue for all directory scans (serialized by worker pool)
- JobTypeSetFolders: Async folder configuration via job queue
- processSetFoldersJob() handler
- Test isolation: Snapshot/restore system_settings
- Fix GetPollInterval() default value: 30s → 60s (matches handler/schema)
- Fix test expectation: 60 → 300 (5 min polling interval)

Critical Fixes:
- File stability race condition: Uses atomic.Bool to prevent concurrent checks
- Double-unlock bug: Removed defer unlock, use explicit cleanup only
- Unbounded goroutine spawn: Job queue serializes scans (no semaphore needed)
- activeScans inconsistency: Removed (job queue handles concurrency)
- Worker constructor conflicts: Use Phase 4's signature (db parameter)

Concurrency Control (Job Queue Approach):
- All directory scans submitted as jobs to worker pool
- Worker pool serializes scans naturally (no concurrent access)
- No unbounded goroutine spawn (worker limits concurrency)
- Atomic file stability checks prevent duplicate entries
- No race conditions in fileStability map
- No memory leaks from orphaned map entries

Phase 0.5 Time Estimate: 3-4 hours (was 2-3 hours)
- Added JobTypeSetFolders integration
- Added test isolation implementation
- Fixed all critical issues (double-unlock, race conditions, etc.)

This plan now incorporates the best of both approaches:
- Directory-based watching (Jellyfin)
- File stability checks (Audiobookshelf)
- Job queue concurrency control (old Phase 1)
