improve container startup for rootless Podman, plus related refactors and tests. Key changes:
- Add/modify Audiobookshelf-related code and wiring (src/lib/services/audiobookshelf/api.ts, library service refs) and update documentation TABLEOFCONTENTS to reference ABS implementation.
- Detect user namespace in docker/unified app-start.sh and redis-start.sh and skip gosu when running in rootless Podman to preserve UID mapping; improve startup logging and verification.
- Add utility/service files (auth-token-cache.service.ts, credential-migration.service.ts, cleanup-helpers.ts) and corresponding tests; update chapter-merger and metadata-tagger utilities/tests.
- Update many admin/auth API routes and tests to reflect changes in settings and integrations.
- Remove large AI agent and Audiobookshelf implementation guide docs (AGENTS.md and the implementation guide) and add README note about AI-assisted workflow.
These changes enable Audiobookshelf backend mode, improve compatibility with rootless container runtimes, and include cleanup/refactor work and unit tests.
Add bidirectional path mapping and complete_dir-aware category sync to the SABnzbd integration. Introduces PathMapper usage, complete_dir extraction, calculateCategoryPath(), and ensureCategory() logic to choose empty/relative/absolute category paths; ensureCategory is invoked before adding NZBs. Update singleton factory to load download_dir and path-mapping config from DownloadClientManager and recreate the service when config is not loaded. Make DownloadClientManager pass path-mapping config into the SABnzbd service. Change request deletion to remove plex_library records by ASIN (deleteMany) with a fallback to exact title/author matches so availability checks and deletions are consistent. Update documentation and tests to reflect the new behavior and APIs.
Implements first-class ebook requests with their own type, parent-child relationship to audiobook requests, and separate status flow. Updates database schema and migrations to support 'type' and 'parentRequestId' fields on requests. Adds processors and job types for ebook search and direct HTTP download from Anna's Archive, with FlareSolverr integration for Cloudflare bypass. Enhances admin UI tables and request actions to display and manage ebook requests, including orange badge and source links. Updates documentation to reflect new ebook support, configuration, and behavior.
Implements support for configuring both qBittorrent and SABnzbd simultaneously, including migration from legacy config, protocol-aware routing, and protocol filtering. Adds new CRUD API routes for download clients, new UI management components, and updates setup and settings flows to use the new multi-client architecture. Updates documentation to describe the new structure and usage.
Updated Audiobookshelf metadata matching to use the user's configured Audible region instead of always defaulting to 'audible' (US). Introduced mapRegionToABSProvider to map region codes to the correct provider value, and added tests for all supported regions (US, CA, UK, AU, IN).
Adds file hash-based matching for Audiobookshelf library items to ensure 100% accurate ASIN assignment for RMAB-organized content. Removes fuzzy matching from library availability checks, making all matching ASIN-only to eliminate false positives and race conditions. Updates database schema, processors, and matcher utilities; adds new tests and documentation for the new matching strategy. Removes obsolete scripts, Dockerfile, and related tests; updates docker-compose for test environments.
Introduces 'series' and 'seriesPart' fields to the Audiobook model and database schema. Updates API routes, file organization, and path template utilities to support series metadata. Enhances chapter merging logic, improves notification backend testing, and expands test coverage for admin and API routes.
Introduces a full notification system with support for Discord and Pushover backends, event triggers, and message formatting. Adds backend services, processors, and API endpoints for managing notifications, as well as a new Notifications tab in the admin settings UI. Updates documentation, database schema, and tests to cover notification features and approval workflow improvements. Also changes project license from MIT to AGPL v3.
Implements pure CSS card stack animations for BookDate recommendations, including smooth exit and advance transitions. Adds local caching of library cover thumbnails during scans, updates database schema and API to serve cached covers, and enhances BookDate to support 'favorites' scope with a book picker modal. Updates admin settings validation logic for Prowlarr, improves indexer state management, and documents new features and backend changes.
Updated ebook-scraper tests to use queueMicrotask instead of setImmediate for emitting 'finish' events. This change ensures microtasks run before timers, reducing race conditions with download timeouts.
Implements admin approval workflow for user requests with global and per-user auto-approve controls. Adds new request statuses ('awaiting_approval', 'denied'), related API endpoints, and UI for pending approvals. Introduces configurable audiobook organization path template with validation and preview in settings, updates database schema and migrations for new fields.
Introduced a Vitest-based backend unit testing framework with supporting scripts, helpers, and GitHub Actions integration. Refactored the admin settings page to a modular architecture, splitting monolithic logic into feature-specific tabs and hooks for improved maintainability and testability. Updated documentation to reflect the new testing setup and settings architecture, and added new dependencies for testing utilities.
