Switch nightly discovery refresh to scrape Audible's curated HTML storefronts (popular, new releases, category pages) while keeping real-time user paths on the JSON catalog API. Add robust HTML resilience knobs (increased retries, capped jittered backoff, AdaptivePacer changes and per-batch cooldowns) to avoid failing nightly jobs during 503 storms. Implement multi-narrator capture via a new extractAllNarrators helper and update parsers to preserve all narrator anchors. Introduce two-pass dedup: in-memory deduplicateAndCollectGroups + collapseByExistingWorks that consults the works table, export metadataScore for consistent representative selection, and persist dedup groups (fire-and-forget). Wire collapseByExistingWorks into search/author/series routes and make defensive dedup in the refresh processor. Add HTML parsing helpers, runtime/lang-aware parsing, jitteredBackoff cap, and tests for the new behaviors.
Move Audible catalog operations from HTML scraping to Audible's unauthenticated JSON catalog API (/1.0/catalog/*) while keeping Audnexus as the primary per‑ASIN detail source. audible.service.ts: remove cheerio parsing, add apiClient/htmlClient split, CATALOG_RESPONSE_GROUPS constant, catalog response types, stripHtml and mapCatalogProduct mappers, and paging (API is 0-indexed) + author-ASIN client-side filtering. Update search, popular, new-releases and author endpoints to call the catalog API, use apiClient for retries/backoff, and preserve htmlClient only for series-page scraping and link generation. Improve retry logic to accept an Axios client, move to jittered/exponential backoff for API/external calls, and adjust delays/AdaptivePacer usage. Documentation updated to reflect architecture, data sources, region handling, and gotchas.
Add support for passing sourceHeaders when fetching NZB/torrent files: extend AddDownloadOptions and SABnzbd AddNZBOptions, forward headers in sabnzbd and nzbget clients, and populate sourceHeaders in download-torrent.processor (injecting Prowlarr API key as X-Api-Key for proxy URLs). Make OIDC request scope conditional: only include the 'groups' scope when group-based access control or admin-claim is enabled (update provider logic, add tests, and update setup UI text). Also remove explicit take:100 in Plex processors and add CLAUDE guidance about requesting approval before implementing code changes.
Introduce per-user configurable home page sections and a unified Audible cache/category model. Adds Prisma models (UserHomeSection, AudibleCacheCategory) and migrations to create tables and remove legacy popular/new_release flags; updates schema.prisma accordingly. Add API routes for user home sections, live Audible categories, and category-based audiobook listing, and refactor popular/new-releases/covers routes to read from AudibleCacheCategory. Frontend: new HomeSection component, HomeSectionConfigModal, useHomeSections hook, and homepage changes to render dynamic sections plus image fallback to a placeholder SVG. Also add placeholder_cover.svg and tests for home sections and the audible refresh processor.
Add persistent cross-ASIN "works" mapping and client-side deduplication to improve library matching. Introduces a Prisma migration and models (Work, WorkAsin) plus src/lib/services/works.service for persisting dedup groups, seeding ASINs at request time, and sibling lookup. Adds a deduplication utility (deduplicate-audiobooks) that normalizes titles/narrators, compares durations, and returns grouping metadata; API routes (search, author, series) now deduplicate results before enrichment and fire-and-forget persist groups. Adds sibling-ASIN expansion into audiobook matcher and expands getAvailableAsins accordingly. Extracts runtime parsing into a shared parse-runtime util and updates audible scrapers/services to use it. Includes unit tests for dedup logic and works service and updates test Prisma mocks.
Add support for per-request custom search terms and an admin retry-download flow.
- DB/schema: add custom_search_terms column via Prisma migration and schema update.
- Admin UI: new AdjustSearchTermsModal component and UI badges to show custom search status; RequestActionsDropdown and RecentRequestsTable updated to surface adjust/retry actions.
- API: new PATCH /api/admin/requests/[id]/search-terms to set/clear custom terms (optionally trigger a new search) and new POST /api/admin/requests/[id]/retry-download to resume monitoring or re-add downloads using DownloadHistory metadata.
- Behavior: interactive search now prefers customSearchTerms when present; manual import exposes cleanupSource option to organize job; admin requests listing returns downloadAttempts and customSearchTerms.
- UX: add SectionToolbar, LoadMoreBar and HideAvailableToggle components and wire hide-available preference across home, search, author and series pages; authors/series endpoints/page handlers gain pagination metadata.
- Misc: add connection-errors util and update related processors/services and tests to cover the new flows.
These changes enable admins to override search terms per request, trigger searches from the admin UI, and retry failed downloads more robustly.
Always use qBittorrent's content_path as the canonical downloadPath and expose savePath on DownloadInfo instead of reconstructing paths from save_path + basename. Add path-waiting logic to the monitor: track consecutive pathWaitCount polls, re-queue the monitor with exponential-ish backoff while content_path remains outside save_path (to handle TempPathEnabled races), and give up after a configurable max attempts. Extend the MonitorDownload payload and JobQueue APIs to carry pathWaitCount. Organize-files processor now attempts to refresh the stored downloadPath from the download client and updates downloadHistory if the client reports a different path (applying path mapping). Update tests to reflect the new behavior and expectations.
When a torrent is finished (seeding/completed), build the download path from save_path combined with the basename of content_path instead of using torrent.name or the full content_path. This fixes a race with qBittorrent's TempPathEnabled (where content_path may still point to the temp dir) and addresses cases where the displayed torrent.name differs from the actual root folder/filename on disk. Added/updated tests to cover the TempPathEnabled race, name-mismatch scenarios, empty content_path fallback, and single-file torrents.
Resolve downloadPath using save_path for finished torrents to avoid TempPathEnabled race conditions where content_path can point to a stale temp location. Compute status once, treat 'seeding'/'completed' as finished, and prefer path.join(save_path, name) for those states while still using content_path (or falling back to save_path) for active downloads. Added tests covering multiple qBittorrent states (seeding/stalledUP/pausedUP/stoppedUP/forcedUP/queuedUP/downloading and empty content_path) and imported path in tests.
Add DOWNLOAD_CLIENT_TIMEOUT (60000ms) in src/lib/constants/download-timeouts.ts and replace hardcoded 60000ms timeouts across Deluge, Prowlarr, qBittorrent and Transmission integrations. This centralizes the download/API timeout (gives headroom for indexers that enforce ~30s waits) and makes future adjustments easier without changing behavior.
Introduce Deluge download client service and tests, remove obsolete rdtclient service, and update qbittorrent integration/tests and download-client interfaces/manager. Large UI refactor for admin pages: Jobs and Logs were redesigned to be responsive (mobile card views + desktop tables), improved headers, dialogs, controls, and better status/detail rendering. Also updated DownloadClient components (card, management, modal), organize-files processor, audible-series integration, and related unit tests to align with integration changes. Minor UX and accessibility tweaks, cron handling/validation adjustments, and a few formatting/cleanup fixes throughout.
Introduce full support for Audible series exploration: API routes, frontend pages, components, hooks, and integrations. Key changes:
- Prisma: add Audiobook.seriesAsin for linking audiobooks to series detail pages.
- Backend: add /api/series/search and /api/series/[asin] routes that require auth; scrape Audible series data and enrich books with library availability.
- Integrations/services: add audible-series integration and update request/HTTP services to support the workflow.
- Frontend: add /series and /series/[asin] pages, new components (SeriesCard, SeriesGrid, SeriesDetailCard, SimilarSeriesRow) and wire them to a new useSeries hook; update AudiobookDetailsModal to show/link series; add Series link to Header.
- Misc: extend audiobook types with series fields and add seriesLabels to language-config for scraping.
These changes enable users to search for series, view series metadata and books, and navigate between audiobook and series detail pages.
Introduce centralized language configuration and wire locale-aware behavior across scraping and ranking. Adds src/lib/constants/language-config.ts with per-language scraping rules, stop words, and character replacements; replaces AudibleRegion.isEnglish with a language field in types and AUDIBLE_REGIONS. Update AudibleService, ebook scraper, processors, and API routes to use getLanguageForRegion so Anna's Archive searches, scraping selectors, runtime/rating parsing, and ranking use language-specific params and filters. Extend ranking algorithm to accept stopWords and characterReplacements and apply them during normalization and matching. Update UI selects to mark non-English regions and adjust tests accordingly.
Introduce RDT-Client integration and related UI/behavior changes.
- Add RDTClientService extending QBittorrentService with RDT-specific behavior (stale-torrent deletion, postProcess cleanup, no-op categories).
- Register 'rdtclient' in supported client types, display names, and protocol mapping; create RDT client factory in DownloadClientManager.
- Add RDT-Client card to DownloadClientManagement UI and placeholder URL in DownloadClientModal.
- Update qbittorrent service: omit per-torrent savepath/sequential options (favor category/automatic management), make several methods protected, and clean up related comments.
- Make organize-files.processor treat rdtclient as a special-case for cleanup (remove local torrent entries after organize).
- Add prowlarr service singleton invalidation and call it when Prowlarr settings are updated so background jobs pick up new credentials.
- Add confirmation flow when changing Prowlarr URL/API key: new useIndexersSettings logic to detect credential changes, prompt ConfirmModal from IndexersTab, and optionally clear configured indexers on confirmed change.
These changes ensure Real-Debrid-backed qBittorrent-compatible clients are supported correctly and that switching Prowlarr credentials is handled safely.
Introduce full authors browsing/detail feature and enhance notifications to support type-specific titles.
- Add server APIs: authors search, author detail, and author books routes (audnexus integration) that require auth and enrich results with library matches.
- Add frontend pages/components: /authors listing and /authors/[asin] detail pages; AuthorCard, AuthorGrid, AuthorDetailCard, SimilarAuthorsRow, and related skeletons.
- Add hook and integration stubs: new useAuthors hook and audnexus-authors integration; update audible service to expose audibleBaseUrl.
- Update AudiobookDetailsModal to use audibleBaseUrl and link author names to author detail pages.
- Add header navigation link to Authors.
- Notifications: extend docs and code to include requestType (audiobook|ebook), add getEventTitle/getEventMeta helpers, update queue signature and providers/processors/tests to pass/handle requestType so titles can be resolved per request type.
- Misc: job queue, processors, provider tests and notification tests updated to reflect new behavior.
This change enables browsing authors and provides type-aware notification titles without per-provider changes.
Introduce user-reported-issues and Goodreads shelf sync features and wire them into notifications. Adds Prisma migrations and schema changes (ReportedIssue, GoodreadsShelf, GoodreadsBookMapping), API endpoints for reporting (POST /audiobooks/[asin]/report-issue) and admin management (list, resolve/dismiss, replace), and an admin UI section to view/dismiss/replace reported issues. Adds a new notification event (issue_reported) with updates to notification schemas, docs and provider handling, plus a notification-events constants file. Refactors request creation to use createRequestForUser service, adds a Goodreads sync processor/service/hooks/UI modals, a scrape-resilience util, and related tests and minor integration updates.
Introduce a provider-based notification system and wire it through the API and admin UI. Added INotificationProvider + notification service implementation and providers (apprise, discord, ntfy, pushover), plus a GET /api/admin/notifications/providers endpoint to expose provider metadata. Refactored code to use provider type strings (removed enum coupling), updated masking/encryption calls, and simplified the test notification endpoint to accept backendId or type+config and call sendToBackend directly.
UI: NotificationsTab now fetches provider metadata and renders provider cards and dynamic config forms (fields driven by provider metadata). Added config field rendering, improved backend cards, and edit/delete actions.
APIs: New providers route, updated admin notification CRUD routes to validate provider types dynamically, updated test route schema. Added download-client categories POST API to fetch categories from clients and wired postImportCategory handling in download-client routes.
Other notable changes: BookDate now fetches Claude models dynamically from Anthropic's Models API; added paginated model fetch helper. Added ALLOW_WEAK_PASSWORD flag exposure to auth providers and password change logic. Doc updates and various tests added/updated. File-organization doc clarifies EPERM fix using stream-based copy.
Extend multi-download-client support to include Transmission and NZBGet and introduce per-client custom download paths. Adds protocol mapping and new client types, Transmission/NZBGet integration services, API CRUD and validation changes, UI components/modal updates and live path previews, and manager routing by protocol. Includes DB migrations (download_path on download_history, interactive_search_access on users), schema updates, and related processor/service fixes and tests to ensure backward compatibility and proper path resolution.
Add an isEnglish flag to AUDIBLE_REGIONS and update region handling across the app. UI: populate Audible region selects from AUDIBLE_REGIONS and mark non-English regions with a '*' and an amber warning explaining limited feature support. Service: set axios default param language=english on Audible requests (simplifies/fixes locale handling) and remove the previous locale-correction flow. API: validate regions dynamically from AUDIBLE_REGIONS. Also bump package version to 1.0.2. These changes make region metadata explicit and inform users about limited support for non-English regions while forcing English content where supported.
Add English-locale enforcement and locale-redirect handling for the Audible integration. Adds Cookie 'lc-acbus=en_US' to Audible client headers and implements handleLocaleRedirect(...) in src/lib/integrations/audible.service.ts to detect non-English culture codes in response URLs, parse Audible's <adbl-toggle-chip> locale picker to obtain the canonical English URL and re-request it, with a fallback URL rewrite (strip culture code + language=en_US). Wire the correction into fetchWithRetry so responses redirected to locale-specific pages are corrected before use. Update documentation (documentation/integrations/audible.md) to describe the behavior and bump package version to 1.0.1.
Add a volume-mapping guide and surface build/version metadata throughout the project.
Changes included:
- documentation: Add documentation/deployment/volume-mapping.md and update TABLEOFCONTENTS.md and README to reference it (helps users align download client and RMAB paths).
- CI: Capture package.json version in .github/workflows/build-unified-image.yml, pass APP_VERSION as a build-arg, and update the Discord notification to show the semantic version and pull `:latest`.
- Docker: Declare ARG APP_VERSION and expose NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION / APP_VERSION / GIT_COMMIT env vars in dockerfile.unified so runtime and client can read the semantic version and commit.
- App API/UI: Update src/app/api/version/route.ts and src/components/ui/VersionBadge.tsx to prefer semantic app version (APP_VERSION / NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION), include fullVersion and commit info, show commit in tooltip, and adjust fallback/dev labels.
- Tests: Update tests (system.routes.test.ts and VersionBadge.test.tsx) to reflect the new version/commit fields and behavior.
- Audible integration: Add ipRedirectOverride query param to multiple Audible requests to avoid IP-based region redirects.
- Misc: Bump package.json version to 1.0.0.
These changes make version information consistent between build, runtime, and UI, improve CI notifications, add user guidance for common volume-mapping issues, and harden Audible scraping against region redirects.
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.
Ensure ensureCategory applies reverse path mapping (local → remote) before creating or editing qBittorrent categories. Uses PathMapper.reverseTransform to compute the remote save path and updates logging and error details to reference the transformed path. Adds integration tests covering category creation, updating, and no-op when the remote path already matches.
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.
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.
Introduces a fetchWithRetry method to handle network errors and rate limiting (503, 429) with exponential backoff in AudibleService. Updates getPopularAudiobooks and getNewReleases to use this retry logic and improves error handling to stop pagination on errors but return collected results. Test cases are updated to use non-retryable errors (404) for more accurate coverage.
Refactors admin settings to use a new IndexersTab and card-based indexer management UI, supporting category selection and improved configuration. Updates backend and API routes to handle indexer categories, propagate ASIN for better search scoring, and group indexers by categories to optimize Prowlarr searches. Enhances documentation to clarify non-terminal request matching and auto-completion behavior. Adds new reusable components for indexer management and category selection.
Implements configurable Audible region selection in setup and admin settings, affecting all Audible API calls and triggering data refresh on change. Adds a user-facing 'Change Password' modal in the header for local users, moving password change from admin-only to all local users via a new /api/auth/change-password endpoint. Updates documentation, API routes, and context to support these features, and removes the old admin-only password change flow.
Introduces support for custom OpenAI-compatible AI providers with configurable base URLs, including UI, backend validation, and connection testing. Enhances qBittorrent integration to support HTTP Basic Auth for reverse proxies, adds detailed debug logging, and updates documentation for both features. Also improves login page description logic and AI prompt generation for recommendations.
Replaces scattered console statements with a unified RMABLogger across backend API routes and services. Adds LOG_LEVEL-based filtering, job-aware database persistence, and context-based logging. Updates documentation to describe the new logging system and usage patterns. Also documents qBittorrent CSRF header fix
Added automatic chapter merging to M4B with admin/config toggles, UI controls, and backend logic. Updated documentation to reflect implementation. Refactored ranking algorithm: increased Title/Author match points, removed size scoring, and improved Usenet/torrent handling. Enhanced Prowlarr integration for protocol detection and filtering. Improved file organizer to support chapter merging. Various bug fixes and logging improvements.
Introduces an API endpoint to trigger e-book downloads for completed requests, with admin UI integration in RecentRequestsTable and RequestActionsDropdown. Updates the admin dashboard to detect e-book sidecar feature availability from settings. Enhances torrent search result handling with info URLs, improves ranking algorithm normalization, and refines interactive search to show all results without threshold filtering. Also allows nullable ratings in request schemas.
Clear credentials when switching download client types in the admin settings page and update validation logic for enabling the test connection button. In SABnzbd service, trim API key input and add explicit validation and error handling for missing or invalid API keys during connection tests.
Introduces SABnzbd as a supported download client for Usenet/NZB alongside qBittorrent, including service implementation, setup wizard and admin settings UI updates, and protocol-specific job processor logic. Updates documentation, PRD, and database schema to support NZB downloads, adds comprehensive technical details and testing strategies, and fixes Audible integration issues related to search and ASIN extraction.
Implements configurable indexer flag bonuses/penalties for torrent ranking, including UI for admin settings and support in ranking-algorithm. Adds an option to disable SSL certificate verification for qBittorrent connections (for self-signed certs), with UI in both setup and admin settings, and persists the setting. Updates documentation, API routes, and ranking logic to support these features. Also includes minor UI improvements and bug fixes.
Adds detection of local users for authentication validation and login, prevents role changes for OIDC users, and clarifies user management UI. Enhances active downloads API to include speed and ETA from qBittorrent, and improves file path handling in download monitoring. Also updates torrent tagging and user info returned by APIs.
Update axios paramsSerializer and request logic to send indexerIds as repeated query parameters (indexerIds=1&indexerIds=2) instead of a comma-separated string. This ensures compatibility with Prowlarr's expected API format.
Introduces `asin` and `isbn` fields to the PlexLibrary schema and database, with migration and indexing for fast lookups. Updates scan and recently-added processors to persist ASIN/ISBN from both Plex and Audiobookshelf backends. Enhances matching logic to prioritize exact ASIN matches using the new fields, improving match accuracy for Audiobookshelf users. Also includes minor improvements: fixes cover art handling for cached thumbnails, adds download URL validation in Prowlarr and qBittorrent integrations, and updates documentation to reflect these changes.
Root cause: Singleton caching issue
The qBittorrent service uses a singleton pattern with a configLoaded flag.
Once initialized, it NEVER re-reads the database config, even when the
user changes settings via the admin settings page.
Flow showing the bug:
1. Wizard saves download_dir to database ✓
2. First torrent: service reads config, creates singleton, sets configLoaded=true ✓
3. User changes download_dir in settings page ✓ (database updated)
4. Next torrent: getQBittorrentService() returns CACHED singleton ✗
5. Cached singleton has OLD download_dir value in this.defaultSavePath ✗
6. Category check shows "already has correct save path: /old/path" ✗
7. Download goes to wrong location ✗
The singleton check (line 745):
if (!qbittorrentService || !configLoaded) {
// Only runs if service doesn't exist or config failed
}
Once both exist, this block is SKIPPED forever!
Fix:
1. Added invalidateQBittorrentService() function
- Resets qbittorrentService = null
- Resets configLoaded = false
- Forces reload from database on next use
2. Call invalidation from settings APIs:
- After updating paths (download_dir, media_dir)
- After updating download client (URL, credentials)
3. Next torrent addition:
- getQBittorrentService() sees null singleton
- Re-reads config from database
- Creates new service with current download_dir
- Category updated with correct path
Benefits:
- Settings changes take effect immediately
- No app restart needed
- Category save path always matches current config
- Download client credentials always current
Updated documentation to explain singleton invalidation pattern.
Root cause: We were blindly calling createCategory (409 if exists) then
editCategory (409 for unknown reason), but editCategory was failing and
the category kept its old save path, causing downloads to wrong location.
The 409 from editCategory doesn't mean 'already has this path', it means
the operation failed. Without checking first, we don't know why.
New approach:
1. GET /torrents/categories first to check current state
2. If category doesn't exist: create it with correct save path
3. If category exists with wrong path: edit to update save path
4. If category exists with correct path: skip (no API call needed)
Benefits:
- Avoids unnecessary 409 errors
- Only calls editCategory when actually needed
- Logs show exactly what's happening (create/update/skip)
- Handles both savePath and save_path response formats (v4.4.0+ compat)
- Better error logging with full response details
This ensures category save path is ACTUALLY updated when user changes
download_dir setting, fixing downloads going to wrong location.
References:
- qBittorrent API docs: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/WebUI-API-(qBittorrent-4.1)
- Issue #15969: save_path vs savePath inconsistency in API v2.8.4+
qBittorrent's /torrents/editCategory endpoint returns 409 (Conflict) when
the category already has the specified save path (no change needed).
This is expected behavior when:
- User hasn't changed download_dir setting since last torrent
- Category already has correct save path
Previously logged as warning with full error stack trace, making it look
like an error when it's actually normal operation.
Changes:
- Check for 409 status code from editCategory
- Log friendly message: 'Category already has save path: /path'
- Only log unexpected errors with console.warn
Now both createCategory and editCategory handle 409 gracefully:
- createCategory 409 = category exists
- editCategory 409 = category already has this path
Both are expected, not errors.
The 409 (Conflict) status code from qBittorrent's createCategory endpoint
means 'category already exists', which is expected behavior, not an error.
Previously, the full error object was logged with console.log(), making it
look like an error in the logs when it's actually normal operation.
Changes:
- Check for 409 status code specifically
- Log friendly message: 'Category already exists' for 409
- Only log unexpected errors with console.warn
- Cleaner logs that don't alarm users
The flow still works correctly:
1. Try createCategory (succeeds if new, 409 if exists)
2. Always editCategory to update save path to match current config
3. Both operations complete successfully
