Location: Add at end of file (after line 1253)

Changes to add:

-- ============================================================================
-- ENHANCED MANGA/COMIC FORMAT DETECTION AND PROCESSING ISSUE TRACKING
-- ============================================================================

-- Allow EPUB in manga library
UPDATE library_types 
SET allowed_extensions = array_append(allowed_extensions, '.epub')
WHERE name = 'manga';

-- Function to detect fixed-layout EPUBs from OPF content
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION detect_fixed_layout_epub(opf_content TEXT)

  IF opf_content LIKE '%rendition:layout="pre-paginated"%' THEN
    RETURN TRUE;
  END IF;
  
  -- Check for RTL page progression (manga indicator)
  IF opf_content LIKE '%page-progression-direction="rtl"%' THEN
    RETURN TRUE;
  END IF;
  
  -- Check for image-heavy content (count <img> tags)
  -- Threshold of 50 images suggests manga/comic vs novel
  IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM regexp_matches(opf_content, '<img[^>]+>', 'g')) > 50 THEN
    RETURN TRUE;
  END IF;
  
  RETURN FALSE;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

-- Table to track items that can't be processed in their library

-- Indexes for querying problem items
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_processing_issues_library 
  ON processing_issues(library_id, resolved);
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_processing_issues_severity 
  ON processing_issues(severity, resolved);

-- Add comment for documentation

Phase 3: Scanner Service Enhancements

File: internal/services/media_scanner.go

Change 1: Add Fixed-Layout Detection Function

Location: After extractEPUBMetadata function (after line 1182)

Add this new function:

// DetectFixedLayoutEPUB checks if EPUB has fixed-layout (manga) characteristics
// by examining the OPF file for rendition metadata and content indicators
func (s *MediaScanner) DetectFixedLayoutEPUB(epubPath string) (bool, error) {
	// Open EPUB ZIP file
	r, err := zip.OpenReader(epubPath)
	if err != nil {
		return false, fmt.Errorf("failed to open EPUB: %w", err)
	}
	defer r.Close()

	// Find and read OPF file
	var opfFile *zip.File
	for _, f := range r.File {
		if strings.HasSuffix(f.Name, ".opf") {
			opfFile = f
			break
		}
		// Also check in META-INF directory
		if strings.Contains(f.Name, "META-INF/") && strings.HasSuffix(f.Name, ".opf") {
			opfFile = f
			break
		}
	}

	if opfFile == nil {
		return false, fmt.Errorf("OPF file not found in EPUB")
	}

	// Read OPF content
	rc, err := opfFile.Open()
	if err != nil {
		return false, fmt.Errorf("failed to open OPF: %w", err)
	}
	defer rc.Close()

	opfContent, err := io.ReadAll(rc)
	if err != nil {
		return false, fmt.Errorf("failed to read OPF: %w", err)
	}

	// Check for fixed-layout indicators
	opfString := string(opfContent)

	// Check 1: rendition:layout = pre-paginated (EPUB 3 fixed layout)
	if strings.Contains(opfString, `rendition:layout">pre-paginated<`) ||
	   strings.Contains(opfString, `rendition:layout="pre-paginated"`) {
		return true, nil
	}

	// Check 2: RTL page progression (manga indicator)
	if strings.Contains(opfString, `page-progression-direction="rtl"`) {
		return true, nil
	}

	// Check 3: Image-heavy content (count <img> tags)
	// Threshold of 50 images suggests manga/comic vs novel
	imgCount := strings.Count(opfString, `<img`)
	if imgCount > 50 {
		return true, nil
	}

	// Check 4: Manga subject tag
	lowerOPF := strings.ToLower(opfString)
	if strings.Contains(lowerOPF, `<dc:subject`) &&
	   (strings.Contains(lowerOPF, `manga`) ||
	    strings.Contains(lowerOPF, `comic`)) {
		return true, nil
	}

	return false, nil
}

Change 2: Add Library Validation Function

Location: After DetectFixedLayoutEPUB function (after the function you just added)

Add this new function:

// ValidateMediaItemForLibrary checks if item matches library type expectations
// and returns issue description if validation fails, nil if valid
func (s *MediaScanner) ValidateMediaItemForLibrary(
	ctx context.Context,
	mediaItem database.MediaItems,
	library database.GetLibraryWithTypeRow,
) *string {
	// Get library type from the joined query result
	libraryTypeName := library.TypeName

	// Manga library validation
	if libraryTypeName == "manga" {
		// Must be fixed-layout or comic archive
		if mediaItem.FormatGroup != "fixed_layout" &&
		   mediaItem.FormatGroup != "comic_archive" {
			msg := fmt.Sprintf(
				"EPUB file '%s' is reflowable (text-based), not fixed-layout (image-based). "+
					"Manga library only accepts fixed-layout EPUBs, CBZ, CBR, or image files. "+
					"Consider moving this file to an ebooks library.",
				mediaItem.Title,
			)
			return &msg
		}

		// Set manga-specific flags for fixed-layout EPUBs
		if mediaItem.FormatGroup == "fixed_layout" {
			// Default manga type if not set
			if mediaItem.MangaType == "unknown" || mediaItem.MangaType == "" {
				mediaItem.MangaType = "yes"
			}
			// Default reading direction for manga
			if mediaItem.ReadingDirection == "auto" || mediaItem.ReadingDirection == "" {
				mediaItem.ReadingDirection = "rtl"
			}
		}
	}

	// Comics library validation
	if libraryTypeName == "comics" {
		// Accept comic archives and fixed-layout
		if mediaItem.FormatGroup != "comic_archive" &&
		   mediaItem.FormatGroup != "fixed_layout" {
			msg := fmt.Sprintf(
				"File '%s' is not a comic archive format. "+
					"Comics library only accepts CBZ, CBR, CB7, CBT, PDF, or fixed-layout EPUBs.",
				mediaItem.Title,
			)
			return &msg
		}
	}

	// Ebooks library validation
	if libraryTypeName == "ebooks" {
		// Flag manga for potential reorganization (info level)
		if mediaItem.FormatGroup == "fixed_layout" &&
		   (mediaItem.MangaType == "yes" || mediaItem.MangaType == "yes_and_right_to_left") {
			msg := fmt.Sprintf(
				"File '%s' appears to be manga (fixed-layout with images). "+
					"Consider moving to a manga or comics library for better organization.",
				mediaItem.Title,
			)
			return &msg
		}
	}

	return nil // No issues
}

Change 3: Add Processing Issue Logging Function

Location: After ValidateMediaItemForLibrary function (after the function you just added)

Add this new function:

// LogProcessingIssue records items that can't be processed properly
func (s *MediaScanner) LogProcessingIssue(
	ctx context.Context,
	mediaItemID uuid.UUID,
	libraryID uuid.UUID,
	issueType string,
	description string,
	severity string,
) error {
	_, err := s.db.CreateProcessingIssue(ctx, database.CreateProcessingIssueParams{
		MediaItemID:      pgtype.UUID{Bytes: mediaItemID, Valid: true},
		LibraryID:        pgtype.UUID{Bytes: libraryID, Valid: true},
		IssueType:        issueType,
		IssueDescription: description,
		Severity:         severity,
	})
	return err
}

Change 4: Modify ScanFolders to Use Enhanced Detection

Location: In ScanFolders function, around line 1069-1080

Find this code:

case "application/epub+zip":
	metadata, err = s.extractEPUBMetadata(path)

Replace with:

case "application/epub+zip":
	metadata, err = s.extractEPUBMetadata(path)
	if err == nil {
		// Enhanced format detection for EPUBs
		isFixedLayout, detectErr := s.DetectFixedLayoutEPUB(path)
		if detectErr == nil && isFixedLayout {
			// Override format group for manga EPUBs
			metadata.FileFormats = []*FormatInfo{{
				FormatType:    "fixed_layout",
				FilePath:      path,
				MimeType:      mimeType,
			}}
		}
	}

		<body x-data="readerShell" x-init="initReader()" class="theme-tokyo-night">

Replace with:

		<body x-data="readerShell" 
			  x-init="initReader({
				mediaItemId: '{ readerData.MediaItemID }',
				title: '{ readerData.Title }',
				enablePanelDetection: { readerData.EnablePanelDetection },
				libraryType: '{ readerData.LibraryType }',
				formatGroup: '{ readerData.FormatGroup }',
				mangaType: '{ readerData.MangaType }',
				readingDirection: '{ readerData.ReadingDirection }'
			  })" 
			  class="theme-tokyo-night">

Phase 9: Update Reader JavaScript

File: web/src/reader/reader.ts

Location: Replace entire file content

Replace with:

import "foliate-js/view.js";
import { Alpine } from "../alpine";

document.addEventListener("alpine:init", () => {
	Alpine.data("readerShell", () => ({
		enablePanelDetection: false,
		libraryType: '',
		formatGroup: '',
		mangaType: '',
		readingDirection: '',
		panelDetector: null,

		initReader(config: any) {
			this.enablePanelDetection = config.enablePanelDetection;
			this.libraryType = config.libraryType;
			this.formatGroup = config.formatGroup;
			this.mangaType = config.mangaType;
			this.readingDirection = config.readingDirection;

			console.log("Reader initialized with:", {
				panelDetection: this.enablePanelDetection,
				library: this.libraryType,
				format: this.formatGroup
			});

			// Only load panel detection if enabled
			if (this.enablePanelDetection) {
				this.loadPanelDetection();
			}
		},

		async loadPanelDetection() {
			try {
				// Dynamic import to only load when needed
				const { PanelDetector } = await import('foliate-js/panel-detection.js');
				this.panelDetector = new PanelDetector();
				console.log("Panel detection loaded successfully");
			} catch (error) {
				console.error("Failed to load panel detection:", error);
			}
		},

		nextPage() {
			const view = document.querySelector("#reader-view");
			// @ts-ignore - foliate custom element
			view?.next?.();
		},

		previousPage() {
			const view = document.querySelector("#reader-view");
			// @ts-ignore - foliate custom element
			view?.prev?.();
		}
	}));

	Alpine.start();
});

Implementation Order

Step 1: Database Changes

# Run schema changes
psql -U your_user -d bookhoard -f database/schema/schema.sql

# Generate database code
cd internal/database
sqlc generate

# Verify new queries were generated
ls -la queries.sql.go

Step 2: Backend Code Changes

# Add scanner enhancements
# Edit internal/services/media_scanner.go

# Add processing issues handler
# Create internal/handlers/processing_issues.go

# Update reader handler
# Edit internal/handlers/reader.go

# Update routes
# Edit cmd/server/main.go

Step 3: Frontend Changes

# Create processing issues template
# Create templates/admin_processing_issues.templ

# Update reader template
# Edit templates/reader.templ

# Update reader JavaScript
# Edit web/src/reader/reader.ts

# Regenerate templates
cd templates
templ generate

# Build frontend
cd ../web
npm run build:ts

Step 4: Testing

# Restart server
go run cmd/server/main.go

# Test 1: Scan manga directory with EPUBs
# Check that fixed-layout EPUBs are detected correctly

# Test 2: Verify processing issues are created
# Check database: SELECT * FROM processing_issues;

# Test 3: Test reader with different library types
# - Manga library with CBZ → panel detection enabled
# - Manga library with fixed-layout EPUB → panel detection enabled
# - Ebooks library with PDF → panel detection disabled
# - Comics library with PDF → panel detection enabled

# Test 4: Check processing issues UI
# Visit: /admin/libraries/{libraryId}/issues/list

Step 5: Verification

# Check database changes
\dt processing_issues
\d+ processing_issues
SELECT * FROM library_types WHERE name = 'manga';

# Verify scanner behavior
grep -n "DetectFixedLayoutEPUB" internal/services/media_scanner.go

# Verify handler is registered
grep -n "processingIssuesHandler" cmd/server/main.go

# Test API endpoints
curl http://localhost:8765/api/libraries/{libraryId}/issues/list
curl http://localhost:8765/api/libraries/{libraryId}/issues/stats

---

Testing Checklist

• Manga library accepts .epub files
• Fixed-layout EPUBs detected correctly
• Reflowable EPUBs in manga library create processing issues
• Processing issues API endpoints work
• Processing issues UI displays correctly
• Reader enables panel detection for manga library
• Reader enables panel detection for comics library
• Reader disables panel detection for ebooks library
• PDF ebooks don't get panel detection
• PDF comics get panel detection

---

Rollback Plan

If issues occur:

# 1. Revert database changes
psql -U your_user -d bookhoard -c "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS processing_issues CASCADE;"
psql -U your_user -d bookhoard -c "UPDATE library_types SET allowed_extensions = ARRAY['.cbz','.cbr','.png','.jpg','.jpeg','.gif','.bmp','.webp'] WHERE name = 'manga';"

# 2. Remove code changes
git checkout HEAD -- internal/services/media_scanner.go
git checkout HEAD -- internal/handlers/reader.go
rm internal/handlers/processing_issues.go
git checkout HEAD -- cmd/server/main.go

# 3. Regenerate database code
cd internal/database && sqlc generate

# 4. Regenerate templates
cd templates && templ generate

# 5. Rebuild frontend
cd web && npm run build:ts

# 6. Restart server

Notes

• All changes follow existing code patterns
• No breaking changes to existing functionality
• Processing issues are warnings only, don't block scanning
• Panel detection is determined by library type + format group
• PDF panel detection works for comics but not ebooks
• Fixed-layout detection uses multiple heuristics for reliability
