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 a paginated Admin Requests API and fully refactor the admin requests UI to support filtering, sorting, pagination, and URL state.
- New API: src/app/api/admin/requests/route.ts implements paginated, searchable, filterable, and sortable request listing with proper relation includes and pagination metadata.
- Frontend: RecentRequestsTable rewritten to fetch via SWR (authenticatedFetcher), read/write URL query params, debounce search, support status/user filters, sortable columns, page size selector, and full pagination UI; added loading/error states and toast feedback for actions.
- Admin page updated to use Suspense and the new RecentRequestsTable (component now fetches its own data).
- Settings: deprecated single download-client PUT route now maps updates into the new multi-client format (download_clients JSON), logs deprecation, and invalidates download client manager; settings GET now reads multi-client config for backward compatibility.
- Processors: monitor-download and retry-failed-imports updated to use the download-client-manager and new PathMappingConfig shape for path mapping logic.
- Minor API/schema updates: request-with-torrent schema extended (indexerId, infoUrl, protocol) and setup complete no longer writes legacy path keys.
- Tests updated to reflect API and processor changes.
This change centralizes request management on the server, modernizes the UI for large datasets, and migrates download client settings toward a multi-client configuration while keeping backward compatibility.
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.
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.
