Bump version to 1.2.0 and update tests

Update package.json version to 1.2.0 and adjust tests to explicitly click the 'Cancel request' button. This adds an extra fireEvent.click for the 'Cancel request' role in RequestActionsDropdown.test.tsx and RequestCard.test.tsx to ensure the cancel handler is invoked reliably. Files changed: package.json, package-lock.json, tests/app/admin/components/RequestActionsDropdown.test.tsx, tests/components/requests/RequestCard.test.tsx.

 **ALWAYS DO:** When you feel work is complete, use the docker compose build readmebook to confirm you have no errors. If the build succeeds, then you can tell me it is ready to be tested.
 
+**NEVER implement without approval.** When asked to assess, investigate, or fix a problem:
+1. **Research & analyze** — Read code, trace the issue, identify root cause.
+2. **Present a solution plan** — Explain the root cause, list the specific files and changes needed, and describe the approach clearly.
+3. **Wait for explicit approval** — Do NOT write any code until the user confirms the plan.
+4. Only after approval: implement, build, and report results.
+
+This applies to bug fixes, feature requests, and any code changes. Investigation and analysis are always fine — writing code is not until approved.

+# Documentation System Agent — Master Prompt
+
+You are a documentation architect. Your job is to analyze a codebase from scratch and produce a **cascading, token-efficient documentation system** with a navigational index. When you are done, future AI agents dropped into this repo will be able to find any information they need by reading a single table of contents file, then following a link to exactly the right document — never wasting tokens reading irrelevant material.
+
+---
+
+## 1. What You Are Building
+
+You are building three things:
+
+### A. A `documentation/` directory
+A tree of concise, AI-optimized markdown files that describe every meaningful part of the codebase. The structure mirrors the codebase's own architecture (backend services, frontend components, integrations, configuration, etc.) rather than imposing an arbitrary layout.
+
+### B. A `documentation/TABLEOFCONTENTS.md` file
+The **single entry point** for all documentation. This file maps natural-language questions and topic keywords to specific documentation files. Any agent that needs to understand something reads this file first, finds the 1-3 relevant docs, and reads only those. This is the most important file you will produce.
+
+### C. A `CLAUDE.md` file at the project root
+Project instructions that teach future agents how to use the documentation system. This file is automatically loaded into every Claude Code conversation, so it must be concise, directive, and self-contained.
+
+---
+
+## 2. The Token-Efficient Documentation Format
+
+Every documentation file you create MUST follow this format. No exceptions.
+
+### 2.1 Structure Template
+
+```markdown
+# [Title]
+
+**Status:** [Implemented | Partial | Planned] — [One-line summary of what this is]
+
+## Overview
+[1-3 sentences. What is this? What does it do? Why does it exist?]
+
+## Key Details
+- Bullet points, not prose
+- Data models: field names, types, constraints
+- API endpoints: method, path, request/response shape
+- Config keys and their values/defaults
+- Enums, status values, important constants
+- File paths and code locations
+- Behavioral rules and edge cases
+
+## API / Interfaces
+[If applicable — tables or compact code blocks for endpoints, function signatures, event names, etc.]
+
+## Dependencies
+[What this depends on, and what depends on it — keep to a bullet list]
+
+## Known Issues / Gotchas
+[Only if there are real, non-obvious pitfalls. Omit section entirely if none.]
+
+## Related
+- [Link to related doc 1]
+- [Link to related doc 2]
+```
+
+### 2.2 Format Rules
+
+**REQUIRED — always include:**
+- Status line with one-line summary
+- API endpoints, data models, config keys (complete and accurate)
+- File paths to source code (so agents can navigate directly)
+- Enums, constants, and status values (exact strings/numbers)
+- Dependency relationships between components
+- Gotchas that have caused or could cause bugs
+
+**FORBIDDEN — never include:**
+- Verbose prose or narrative explanations
+- "Why we chose X" sections (brief rationale in a bullet is fine)
+- ASCII art diagrams larger than 5 lines
+- More than 2 code examples per document
+- "Future enhancements" or roadmap speculation
+- "Testing strategy" sections (unless tests are the subject of the doc)
+- "Performance considerations" (unless performance is the subject)
+- Empty sections or placeholder text
+- Decorative formatting, horizontal rules between every section, emoji
+
+**TARGET:** Each doc file should be 30-80 lines. If it exceeds 120 lines, split it into sub-documents and link from a parent. The goal is ~70% fewer tokens than traditional documentation while preserving 100% of the technical details an agent needs.
+
+---
+
+## 3. The TABLEOFCONTENTS.md Format
+
+This is the **router**. It maps questions to files. Format:
+
+```markdown
+# Table of Contents — [Project Name]
+
+> **Read this file first.** Find your topic below, then read ONLY the linked files.
+
+## Quick Reference
+| Topic | File |
+|-------|------|
+| [Short topic] | [path/to/file.md] |
+| ... | ... |
+
+## By Category
+
+### [Category Name] (e.g., "Authentication", "Database", "API Endpoints")
+| Question / Topic | File(s) |
+|-------------------|---------|
+| How does [X] work? | [path.md] |
+| What are the [Y] endpoints? | [path.md] |
+| How is [Z] configured? | [path1.md], [path2.md] |
+
+### [Next Category]
+...
+
+## Architecture Overview
+[3-10 bullet points describing the high-level architecture — frameworks, major services, data flow. Just enough for an agent to orient itself before diving into specific docs.]
+```
+
+**Rules for TABLEOFCONTENTS.md:**
+- Every documentation file MUST appear in at least one table row
+- Questions should be phrased the way a developer or AI agent would actually ask them
+- A single question can map to multiple files (e.g., "How do downloads work?" → `downloads.md`, `jobs.md`)
+- A single file can appear under multiple questions
+- Categories should match the codebase's actual domain boundaries, not generic labels
+- The Architecture Overview section gives agents a 30-second orientation before they search for specifics
+
+---
+
+## 4. Execution Plan
+
+Follow these phases in order. **Delegate heavily using the Task tool** — you should be orchestrating, not doing all the reading yourself.
+
+### Phase 1: Deep Discovery (Delegate to Explore Agents)
+
+Launch **3-5 parallel Explore agents** using the Task tool to map the entire codebase. Each agent should focus on a different area. Suggested splits:
+
+**Agent 1 — Project Structure & Config:**
+- Map the top-level directory tree (2-3 levels deep)
+- Identify the tech stack (languages, frameworks, package managers)
+- Read config files (package.json, tsconfig, docker-compose, .env.example, etc.)
+- Identify build/deploy pipeline
+- Note the entry points of the application
+
+**Agent 2 — Backend / Server-Side:**
+- Identify all backend services, controllers, routes, middleware
+- Map API endpoints (paths, methods, handlers)
+- Identify the database layer (ORM, schema files, migrations)
+- Note background jobs, queues, cron tasks, workers
+- Identify authentication/authorization mechanisms
+
+**Agent 3 — Frontend / Client-Side:**
+- Identify UI framework and component structure
+- Map page routes and navigation
+- Identify state management approach
+- Note API client/service layer
+- Identify shared components, layouts, hooks
+
+**Agent 4 — Integrations & External Services:**
+- Identify all third-party API integrations
+- Map external service connections (databases, caches, message queues, cloud services)
+- Note webhook handlers, OAuth flows, API keys
+- Identify notification systems (email, push, SMS)
+
+**Agent 5 — Data Layer & Business Logic:**
+- Map database schema (tables/collections, relationships, key fields)
+- Identify core business logic and domain models
+- Map data validation rules
+- Note important algorithms or complex logic
+
+Adjust these splits based on what the repo actually contains. A frontend-only repo doesn't need a backend agent. A CLI tool doesn't need a frontend agent. Use your judgment.
+
+**Each agent should return:**
+- A structured summary of what it found
+- File paths to the most important source files
+- A suggested list of documentation topics for its area
+
+### Phase 2: Architecture Synthesis
+
+After all discovery agents return, synthesize their findings:
+
+1. **Draw the dependency map** — What are the major components? How do they connect?
+2. **Identify documentation topics** — Each distinct service, feature, integration, or subsystem gets its own doc file
+3. **Design the directory structure** — Mirror the codebase's architecture. Example:
+   ```
+   documentation/
+   ├── TABLEOFCONTENTS.md
+   ├── README.md              # Project overview (brief)
+   ├── architecture.md        # System architecture, tech stack, data flow
+   ├── backend/
+   │   ├── api-endpoints.md   # Or split by domain: users.md, orders.md, etc.
+   │   ├── database.md        # Schema, ORM, migrations
+   │   ├── auth.md            # Authentication & authorization
+   │   └── jobs.md            # Background processing
+   ├── frontend/
+   │   ├── components.md      # Component tree, shared components
+   │   ├── routing.md         # Pages, navigation, guards
+   │   └── state.md           # State management
+   ├── integrations/
+   │   ├── [service-name].md  # One per external integration
+   │   └── ...
+   └── deployment/
+       └── docker.md          # Or whatever the deploy mechanism is
+   ```
+4. **Prioritize** — Rank topics by impact. High-impact = core architecture, APIs, database schema, auth, and anything with complex logic or non-obvious behavior. Low-impact = static config files, simple utility functions, standard boilerplate.
+
+### Phase 3: Documentation Generation (Delegate to Writer Agents)
+
+Launch **parallel writer agents** using the Task tool. Each agent writes 2-5 related documentation files.
+
+**Instructions for each writer agent must include:**
+- The exact file paths to create
+- The list of source files to read for that topic
+- The token-efficient format template (copy Section 2.1 into each agent's prompt)
+- A reminder: "Write concise bullets, not prose. Include all technical details. Target 30-80 lines per file."
+
+**Suggested batching:**
+- Agent A: `architecture.md` + `README.md` (needs broadest context)
+- Agent B: Backend services docs (group related services)
+- Agent C: Frontend docs
+- Agent D: Integration docs
+- Agent E: Database + deployment docs
+
+Scale the number of agents to the size of the repo. A small repo might need 2-3 writers. A large monorepo might need 8-10.
+
+**Each writer agent should return:** Confirmation of files written, with a brief summary of what each file covers and a list of cross-references to note for the TOC.
+
+### Phase 4: Build the TABLEOFCONTENTS.md
+
+After all writers finish, build the table of contents yourself. This requires you to:
+
+1. Read or review every documentation file that was created
+2. For each file, generate 2-5 natural-language questions it answers
+3. Organize questions into categories that match the codebase's domain
+4. Write the Architecture Overview section (3-10 bullets, high-level only)
+5. Cross-check: every doc file appears in at least one row; no dead links
+
+### Phase 5: Generate the CLAUDE.md
+
+Write the project-root `CLAUDE.md` using the template in Section 5 below. Customize it for this specific repo — fill in the actual project name, the actual documentation structure, and real examples from the actual TOC.
+
+### Phase 6: Validate
+
+Do a final pass:
+1. Verify every file referenced in TABLEOFCONTENTS.md actually exists
+2. Verify every file in the `documentation/` directory appears in TABLEOFCONTENTS.md
+3. Spot-check 2-3 doc files for format compliance (status line, bullets not prose, within line limits)
+4. Verify CLAUDE.md references the correct paths
+
+---
+
+## 5. CLAUDE.md Template
+
+Generate a `CLAUDE.md` at the project root using this template. **Customize every bracketed item** for the specific repo. Remove sections that don't apply. Keep it under 200 lines — this file is loaded into every conversation and consumes tokens.
+
+```markdown
+# CLAUDE.md — [Project Name]
+
+## Documentation System
+
+This project uses a cascading, token-efficient documentation system optimized for AI agent consumption.
+
+### How to Find Information
+
+1. **Read `documentation/TABLEOFCONTENTS.md` FIRST** — this is the navigation index
+2. Find your topic in the question-to-file mapping tables
+3. Read ONLY the 1-3 files relevant to your task
+4. **Never read all documentation files** — this wastes token budget
+
+### Documentation Structure
+[Insert the actual directory tree of documentation/ here]
+
+### Example Lookups
+- "[Example question 1]" → `[actual-path-1.md]`
+- "[Example question 2]" → `[actual-path-2.md]`, `[actual-path-3.md]`
+- "[Example question 3]" → `[actual-path-4.md]`
+
+## Token Budget Rules
+
+- **20-30% of tokens:** Reading documentation (via TABLEOFCONTENTS.md targeting)
+- **70-80% of tokens:** Implementation and problem-solving
+
+**Do:**
+- Use TABLEOFCONTENTS.md to target specific files
+- Read only "Key Details" and "API/Interfaces" sections
+- Skip code examples unless implementing similar functionality
+
+**Don't:**
+- Read all documentation files sequentially
+- Read verbose examples when not needed
+- Re-read the same docs multiple times in one session
+
+## Documentation Maintenance
+
+When you modify code that changes behavior documented in `documentation/`:
+1. Read TABLEOFCONTENTS.md to find the relevant doc(s)
+2. Update those docs to reflect your changes
+3. Use the token-efficient format: bullets, tables, compact code blocks — no prose
+4. If you create a new doc, add it to TABLEOFCONTENTS.md
+
+### Token-Efficient Format Reference
+- **Status line:** `**Status:** [Implemented | Partial | Planned] — [one-line summary]`
+- **Bullets, not paragraphs** — every detail as a dash-prefixed list item
+- **Tables for APIs** — method, path, request, response
+- **Code blocks only for schemas/configs** — max 2 per document
+- **30-80 lines per file** — split if over 120
+- **No:** prose explanations, future plans, testing strategy, empty sections
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Quality Standards
+
+Your output will be evaluated on:
+
+1. **TABLEOFCONTENTS.md completeness** — Can an agent find any topic by searching this one file?
+2. **Question quality** — Are the TOC questions phrased the way someone would actually ask them?
+3. **Format compliance** — Do all docs follow the token-efficient format? No prose, no fluff?
+4. **Accuracy** — Do the docs match what's actually in the code? Are file paths correct?
+5. **Coverage** — Are all high-impact areas documented? Are low-impact areas at least listed?
+6. **CLAUDE.md clarity** — Could a brand-new agent read CLAUDE.md and immediately know how to navigate the docs?
+7. **Cross-referencing** — Do Related sections link to the right companion docs?
+
+---
+
+## 7. Important Reminders
+
+- **You are writing for AI agents, not humans.** Optimize for parseability and token efficiency, not readability or visual appeal.
+- **Accuracy over completeness.** It's better to document 80% of the codebase accurately than 100% with errors. If a discovery agent can't determine something with confidence, note it as `**Status:** Partial` and move on.
+- **Mirror the codebase's language.** Use the same names for things that the code uses. If the code calls it a "processor," don't call it a "handler" in the docs.
+- **File paths are critical.** Every doc should reference the actual source files it describes. Agents will use these paths to navigate directly to code.
+- **The TOC is the product.** The individual doc files are supporting material. If the TOC is excellent, the whole system works. If the TOC is poor, nothing else matters.
+- **Delegate aggressively.** You have access to the Task tool with sub-agents. Use it. The discovery phase should be 3-5 parallel agents. The writing phase should be 2-10 parallel agents depending on repo size. Your job is to orchestrate, synthesize, and build the TOC — not to read every file yourself.
+- **Do not add headers or comments to source code files.** Your output is documentation files only. Do not modify any existing source code.
+
+---
+
+## Now Begin
+
+Start with Phase 1. Launch your discovery agents in parallel. Once they report back, proceed through the remaining phases. When complete, report what you've created and provide the full TABLEOFCONTENTS.md for review.

+# Credential Recovery Script
+
+**Status:** ✅ Implemented | Interactive recovery for lost `CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` or forgotten local admin password
+
+## Overview
+Recovers from the "Invalid username or password" failure mode caused by a lost or rotated `CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY`. Detects whether the key still works; either does a minimal password reset (preserves everything) or full recovery (rotates key + clears credentials that can no longer be decrypted).
+
+## When to Use
+- Local admin gets "Invalid username or password" with credentials known to be correct
+- `/app/config/.secrets` was lost, truncated, or recreated
+- After an unintended `CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` change
+- See GitHub issue #200 for the symptom pattern
+
+## How to Run
+```
+docker exec -it <container-name> npm run rmab:recover
+```
+- `-it` is required for the interactive prompts
+- Or directly: `docker exec -it <container-name> node /app/scripts/recover-credentials.js`
+
+## What It Does
+1. Loads `DATABASE_URL` and `CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` from env (falls back to `/etc/environment`)
+2. Diagnoses key health by attempting to decrypt an existing encrypted Configuration row
+3. Lists local users (`authProvider='local'`, not soft-deleted); prompts for one
+4. Prompts for new password twice (masked); validates length unless `ALLOW_WEAK_PASSWORD=true`
+5. Prints the exact plan (mode + what will be cleared); requires typing `confirm` verbatim
+6. Executes inside a single Prisma `$transaction`
+7. If key was rotated: writes new key to `/app/config/.secrets` and `/etc/environment`
+
+## Two Modes (auto-detected)
+
+**Simple Password Reset (key works):**
+- Only updates the chosen user's `authToken` (new bcrypt, re-encrypted)
+- No other data touched
+- No container restart needed
+
+**Full Recovery (key broken):**
+- Generates new `CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY` (32 random bytes, base64)
+- For each `Configuration` row with `encrypted=true`: re-encrypts with new key if old decrypt succeeds, deletes the row if not
+- For `download_clients` JSON: re-encrypts each client password if possible, blanks it if not (URL/host/etc. preserved)
+- For all `User.authToken` values: re-encrypts if possible, clears if not (Plex/OIDC users re-OAuth on next login)
+- Overwrites target user's `authToken` with fresh bcrypt encrypted with new key
+- Writes new key to `.secrets` + `/etc/environment`
+- **Container restart required after this mode**
+
+## What Survives (Full Recovery Mode)
+- All requests + request history
+- Library mappings, organization templates, schedules, user accounts
+- Non-encrypted Configuration rows (paths, log level, backend mode, etc.)
+- Plex/OIDC users whose tokens decrypted successfully (no re-OAuth needed)
+
+## What User Re-enters After Full Recovery
+- Plex auth token (or re-OAuth via login)
+- Audiobookshelf API token (if used)
+- OIDC client secret (if used)
+- Prowlarr API key
+- Download client passwords (per client)
+- Any AI / Hardcover / Goodreads / notification provider secrets
+
+## Security
+- CLI only — no HTTP endpoint, no auto-run, no rescue-mode env flag
+- Requires `docker exec` access (= host root equivalent)
+- Refuses to accept any CLI arguments — all input via interactive prompts
+- Does not echo or log password or key values
+- Operation summary written to stdout; full audit info to app logger
+- Idempotent within a single mode (re-runs are safe)
+
+## Failure Modes
+- DB transaction fails → no changes committed, safe to re-run
+- DB transaction commits but `.secrets`/`/etc/environment` write fails → script prints the new key in plaintext with instructions for manual write (one-time exposure in operator's terminal)

+# Goodreads & Shelf Sync
+
+**Status:** ✅ Implemented | RSS feed parsing, shared sync core, extensible provider architecture
+
+## Overview
+Syncs user-subscribed Goodreads shelves via RSS feeds, resolves books to Audible ASINs, and creates requests. Also documents the shared shelf sync core used by all providers.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Files
+- `src/lib/services/goodreads-sync.service.ts` — RSS fetch/parse, delegates to shared core
+- `src/lib/services/shelf-sync-core.service.ts` — Shared sync logic (Audible lookup, cover enrichment, request creation)
+- `src/lib/utils/shelf-helpers.ts` — Shared `processBooks()` utility for cover URL parsing
+- `src/lib/hooks/createShelfHooks.ts` — Generic hook factory for shelf CRUD operations
+- `src/app/api/user/goodreads-shelves/route.ts` — GET (list) + POST (add) routes
+- `src/app/api/user/goodreads-shelves/[id]/route.ts` — DELETE + PATCH routes
+- `src/app/api/user/shelves/route.ts` — Combined GET for all providers (GenericShelf shape)
+- `src/lib/hooks/useGoodreadsShelves.ts` — Frontend hooks (via `createShelfHooks` factory)
+
+### Database Models
+- **GoodreadsShelf** — Per-user shelf subscription (`userId`, `rssUrl`, `name`, `lastSyncAt`, `bookCount`, `coverUrls`)
+- **BookMapping** — Shared table for all providers. Keyed by `provider` + `externalBookId`. Caches Audible ASIN lookups.
+
+## Goodreads RSS Feed
+- **Format:** `https://www.goodreads.com/review/list_rss/{userId}?shelf={shelfName}`
+- **Auth:** None required (public RSS)
+- **Parsing:** `fast-xml-parser` extracts `item` entries with `book_id`, `title`, `author_name`, `book_image_url`
+
+## Shared Sync Core
+
+`shelf-sync-core.service.ts` contains all provider-agnostic sync logic:
+
+### Interface: `ShelfBook`
+```typescript
+{ bookId: string; title: string; author: string; coverUrl?: string }
+```
+
+### Function: `processShelfBooks()`
+Accepts provider-agnostic book list + context, performs:
+1. **BookMapping lookup** — Check if book already resolved (`provider` + `externalBookId`)
+2. **Audible search** — Full query (`title author`), fallback with cleaned title (strips parenthetical series info)
+3. **noMatch retry** — Re-searches after `NO_MATCH_RETRY_DAYS` (7 days)
+4. **Request creation** — Calls `createRequestForUser()` for matched ASINs
+5. **Cover enrichment** — Queries `audibleCache` for cached covers, builds `/api/cache/thumbnails/` URLs
+6. **Shelf metadata update** — Writes `lastSyncAt`, `bookCount`, top 8 books as JSON to `coverUrls`
+
+### Constants
+- `DEFAULT_MAX_LOOKUPS_PER_SHELF` = 10 (per scheduled cycle; 0 = unlimited for manual triggers)
+- `NO_MATCH_RETRY_DAYS` = 7
+
+### Hook Factory: `createShelfHooks(endpoint)`
+Returns `{ useList, useAdd, useDelete, useUpdate }` — all with SWR caching, optimistic updates, and automatic revalidation of the combined `/api/user/shelves` endpoint.
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+| Method | Path | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| GET | `/api/user/goodreads-shelves` | List user's Goodreads shelves |
+| POST | `/api/user/goodreads-shelves` | Add shelf (validates RSS feed, triggers sync) |
+| DELETE | `/api/user/goodreads-shelves/[id]` | Remove shelf (ownership check) |
+| PATCH | `/api/user/goodreads-shelves/[id]` | Update RSS URL (triggers re-sync) |
+| GET | `/api/user/shelves` | Combined endpoint — merges all providers into `GenericShelf` |
+
+## Adding a New Provider
+1. Create Prisma shelf model + migration (BookMapping table is already shared)
+2. Create API client service for the external data source
+3. Create thin sync service (~50-80 lines) that fetches books and calls `processShelfBooks()`
+4. Create API routes (or use a generic route handler)
+5. Create hook file (~40 lines) using `createShelfHooks(endpoint)`
+6. Add tab in `AddShelfModal` with provider-specific form fields

+# Hardcover Shelf Sync
+
+**Status:** ✅ Implemented | GraphQL API integration, Audible ASIN resolution, automated request creation
+
+## Overview
+Syncs user-subscribed Hardcover lists via their GraphQL API, resolves books to Audible ASINs, and creates audiobook requests automatically.
+
+## Architecture
+

+### Database Models
+- **HardcoverShelf** — Per-user list subscription (`userId`, `listId`, encrypted `apiToken`, `name`, `lastSyncAt`, `bookCount`, `coverUrls`)
+- **BookMapping** — Shared across all providers. Keyed by `provider` + `externalBookId`. Caches Audible ASIN resolution (`audibleAsin`, `noMatch`, `lastSearchAt`)
+
+## Hardcover API
+
+- **Endpoint:** `https://api.hardcover.app/v1/graphql` (Hasura-based)
+- **Auth:** Bearer token in Authorization header
+- **Username type:** `citext` (case-insensitive text) — use `$username: citext!` in GraphQL variables
+
+### Query Strategies (custom lists)
+| Input | Strategy | Query root |
+|---|---|---|
+| URL with `@username` | Scoped to that user | `users(where: {username: {_eq: $username}}) { lists(...) }` |
+| Bare slug (no username) | Authenticated user's own list | `me { lists(where: {slug: {_eq: $slug}}) }` |
+| Numeric ID | Global lookup (IDs are unique) | `lists(where: {id: {_eq: $listId}})` |
+
+### Status Lists
+- Prefix: `status-{id}` (e.g., `status-1`)
+- Query: `me { user_books(where: {status_id: {_eq: $statusId}}) }`
+- Status IDs: 1=Want to Read, 2=Currently Reading, 3=Read, 4=Did Not Finish
+
+## Sync Flow
+1. Fetch shelves from DB (all or specific `shelfId`)
+2. Decrypt API token (encryption service)
+3. Fetch books from Hardcover GraphQL API
+4. Delegate to `processShelfBooks()` in shelf-sync-core (Audible lookup, request creation, cover enrichment)
+5. Update shelf metadata (`lastSyncAt`, `bookCount`, `coverUrls`)
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+| Method | Path | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| GET | `/api/user/hardcover-shelves` | List user's shelves with book counts/covers |
+| POST | `/api/user/hardcover-shelves` | Add new shelf (validates via API fetch, encrypts token, triggers sync) |
+| DELETE | `/api/user/hardcover-shelves/[id]` | Remove shelf (ownership check) |
+| PATCH | `/api/user/hardcover-shelves/[id]` | Update listId/apiToken (triggers re-sync on change) |
+
+## Key Details
+- **Token cleanup:** Strips `Bearer ` prefix if user pastes it
+- **Duplicate check:** Unique constraint on `(userId, listId)`
+- **Immediate sync:** POST and PATCH trigger `addSyncShelvesJob()` with unlimited lookups
+- **Scheduled sync:** Runs via `sync_reading_shelves` job (default: max 10 lookups/shelf/cycle)
+- **Cover data:** Stores top 8 books as JSON in `coverUrls` field for shelf card display

+# Bulk Import Feature
+
+**Status:** ✅ Implemented | Admin-only | Multi-step wizard modal
+
+## Overview
+Lets admins scan a server folder recursively, discover audiobook subfolders, match against Audible, review matches, and import selected books via the existing manual import pipeline.
+
+## Flow
+1. **Select Folder** — Browse base folders (Downloads, Media Library, Book Drop), pick scan root
+2. **Scan & Match** — Recursively discover audiobook folders (max 10 levels), read metadata via ffprobe, search Audible per book (1.5s rate limit)
+3. **Review & Import** — Scrollable list with skip toggles, library status, confidence badges; Start Import queues organize_files jobs
+
+## Key Details
+- **Access:** Admin-only, modal opened from admin dashboard Quick Actions
+- **Audio detection:** Uses `AUDIO_EXTENSIONS` from `src/lib/constants/audio-formats.ts`
+- **Audiobook boundary:** A folder containing audio files = one audiobook. Files with matching metadata tags are grouped by title+author+narrator. Files with no metadata title tag are all grouped together per folder (one entry, not one per file).
+- **Metadata extraction:** ffprobe reads `album` (title), `album_artist` (author), `composer` (narrator) from all audio files in folder
+- **Search term fallback chain** (when no `album` tag):
+  1. **ASIN in folder name** — scans folder name for pattern `B[A-Z0-9]{9}` bounded by bracket/paren/space; if found, uses direct ASIN lookup instead of text search; no badge shown
+  2. **Folder name** — cleaned (strips bracketed ASIN/year, underscores→spaces); skipped if generic (CD1, Disc 2, Part 3, Vol 1, etc.); shows "Low Confidence" badge
+  3. **First file name** — last resort; shows "Low Confidence" badge
+- **Generic folder detection:** `/^(cd|disc|disk|part|vol(ume)?)\s*\d+$/i` — these names are skipped as search terms
+- **Author/narrator dedup:** Splits on `,;& ` delimiters, removes names appearing in both fields
+- **Scan depth:** Max 10 levels recursion
+- **Rate limiting:** 1.5s delay between Audible searches (same as existing scraping rate limit)
+- **Library check:** Uses `findPlexMatch()` for ASIN-based availability detection
+- **Import:** Reuses existing `organize_files` job queue (same as manual import)
+- **No new database tables** — all state is ephemeral during wizard session
+
+## API Endpoints
+

+| GET | `/api/audible/categories` | user | Live scrape top-level categories |
+| GET | `/api/audiobooks/category/[categoryId]` | public | Paginated category books from cache |
+
+## Refresh Processor (Unified Storage)
+- All section data stored in `AudibleCacheCategory` with reserved IDs: `__popular__` and `__new_releases__` for built-in sections
+- Popular/new-releases use same wipe-and-populate pattern as user categories
+- After built-in sections, queries DISTINCT categoryIds from `UserHomeSection`
+- Per section: wipe `AudibleCacheCategory` rows, scrape, upsert `AudibleCache` metadata, insert ranked category entries
+- Batch cooldown between sections (10-20s random)
+- Constants exported from `audible-refresh.processor.ts`: `POPULAR_CATEGORY_ID`, `NEW_RELEASES_CATEGORY_ID`
+
+## AudibleService Methods
+- `getCategories()`: Scrapes `{baseUrl}/categories`, returns `{id, name}[]`
+- `getCategoryBooks(categoryId, limit)`: Scrapes `/search?node={id}&pageSize=50&sort=popularity-rank`, up to 200 results
+
+## Frontend
+- **Hooks:** `useHomeSections()`, `useCategoryAudiobooks()`, `useAudibleCategories()` in `src/lib/hooks/useHomeSections.ts`
+- **Config Modal:** `src/components/home/HomeSectionConfigModal.tsx` — drag-and-drop (desktop), up/down arrows (mobile), auto-save with debounce
+- **Section Component:** `src/components/home/HomeSection.tsx` — renders individual section with color-coded header
+- **Home Page:** `src/app/page.tsx` — dynamic sections from user config, gear icon for customize
+- **Pagination:** `src/components/ui/UnifiedPagination.tsx` — updated to support 1-12 dynamic sections
+
+## Key Decisions
+- 10 section limit per user (total)
+- Category picker scraped live (no categories table)
+- Top-level categories only (v1)
+- Wipe-and-re-scrape per category during refresh
+- Deduplication of categories across users before scraping
+- If category disappears, user sees empty section
+- 10-color palette assigned by sort order

+# Manual Import Feature — Acceptance Criteria
+
+**Status:** ⏳ In Progress
+
+## Overview
+Allow admins to manually import audiobook files from the server filesystem into RMAB's processing pipeline for a specific book.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+### AC-1: Manual Import Button (Frontend)
+- [ ] "Manual Import" button visible on `AudiobookDetailsModal` for admin users only
+- [ ] Button hidden when book is in active processing states: `downloading`, `processing`, `searching`
+- [ ] Button uses `FolderArrowDownIcon` from Heroicons
+- [ ] Clicking opens the file browser modal
+
+### AC-2: File Browser Modal — Phase 1 (Browse)
+- [ ] Modal opens at `max-w-2xl`, rounded-2xl, with header/breadcrumb/listing/footer regions
+- [ ] Root view shows two entry tiles: Downloads and Media Library (paths from `download_dir` and `media_dir` config)
+- [ ] Each folder row shows: folder icon, name, metadata line (audio file count, subfolder count, total size)
+- [ ] Blue `♪ N` badge on folders containing audio files
+- [ ] Folder icon swaps to `FolderOpenIcon` on hover (150ms transition)
+- [ ] Single-click selects folder (only if it has audio files); double-click navigates into it
+- [ ] Folders without audio files shown at reduced opacity, still navigable but not selectable
+- [ ] Breadcrumb navigation with clickable segments, home icon for root, ellipsis collapse for deep paths
+- [ ] Footer shows selected path (monospace), file stats, "Review Import →" button (only when valid selection)
+- [ ] Directional slide animations: right when going deeper, left when going back
+- [ ] Loading skeletons during directory fetch
+- [ ] Empty state for empty directories
+- [ ] Error state with "Try Again" for failed directory reads
+- [ ] Dark mode support throughout
+
+### AC-3: File Browser Modal — Phase 2 (Confirm)
+- [ ] Slide transition from browse to confirm phase
+- [ ] Shows book context: cover thumbnail + title + author
+- [ ] Shows selected folder: path (monospace) + stats in inset block
+- [ ] Numbered "What will happen" list: (1) copy to media library, (2) tag metadata, (3) download cover art, (4) scan library
+- [ ] "Back" button returns to browse phase
+- [ ] "Start Import" primary button triggers the import
+- [ ] Button shows loading state during API call
+- [ ] Success: close modal, show success toast, trigger request list refresh
+- [ ] Error: show error toast, stay on confirm screen
+
+### AC-4: Filesystem Browse API
+- [ ] `GET /api/admin/filesystem/browse?path=...` — admin-only endpoint
+- [ ] Returns directory listing: `{ entries: [{ name, type, audioFileCount, subfolderCount, totalSize }] }`
+- [ ] If no `path` param, returns root directories (download_dir, media_dir from config)
+- [ ] Path validation: must be within allowed root directories (prevent directory traversal)
+- [ ] Handles permission errors gracefully
+- [ ] Sorts: folders first, then alphabetical
+
+### AC-5: Manual Import API
+- [ ] `POST /api/admin/manual-import` — admin-only endpoint
+- [ ] Request body: `{ audiobookId: string, folderPath: string }`
+- [ ] Path validation: folderPath must be within allowed roots
+- [ ] Validates folder exists and contains audio files
+- [ ] If no existing request: creates request (status: `processing`) + queues `organize_files` job
+- [ ] If existing request (non-active state): updates status to `processing` + queues `organize_files` job
+- [ ] Returns: `{ success: true, requestId: string }`
+- [ ] Proper error responses for: invalid path, no audio files, already processing, book not found
+
+### AC-6: Integration with Existing Pipeline
+- [ ] The `organize_files` job processes the manual import folder identically to download-client-delivered folders
+- [ ] Files are copied (not moved) to the media library
+- [ ] Metadata tagging, cover art download, file hash generation all work as normal
+- [ ] Library scan triggered after organization (if configured)
+- [ ] Request status progresses: processing → downloaded → available (via scheduled scan)
+
+### AC-7: Docker Build
+- [ ] `docker compose build readmeabook` succeeds with no errors
+
+## Non-Goals
+- No "move" option (copy only, matching existing pipeline)
+- No file-level selection (folder only)
+- No drag-and-drop upload
+- No non-admin access
+
+## Technical Notes
+- Audio extensions: `.m4b`, `.m4a`, `.mp3`, `.mp4`, `.aa`, `.aax`, `.flac`, `.ogg` (from `src/lib/constants/audio-formats.ts`)
+- Config keys: `download_dir` (database), `media_dir` (database)
+- Existing file organizer: `src/lib/utils/file-organizer.ts`
+- Organize processor: `src/lib/processors/organize-files.processor.ts`
+- Job queue service: `src/lib/services/job-queue.service.ts`

 # Audible Integration
 
-**Status:** ✅ Implemented (Audnexus API + Web Scraping)
+**Status:** Implemented | Hybrid — curated HTML for discovery refresh + Audible JSON catalog API for user-facing real-time + Audnexus for per-ASIN details
 
-Audiobook metadata from Audnexus API (primary) and Audible.com scraping (fallback) for discovery, search, and detail pages.
+## Overview
 
-## Detail Page Strategy
+Audiobook metadata for discovery, search, and detail pages. Split by access pattern:
 
-**Primary: Audnexus API**
+- **Nightly discovery refresh** (popular / new releases / category lists) — scraped from Audible's **curated HTML storefronts** (`www.audible.<tld>/adblbestsellers`, `/newreleases`, `/search?node=<id>`). The HTML pages reflect Audible's own editorial picks.
-- Endpoint: `https://api.audnex.us/books/{asin}`
+- **User-facing real-time** (search, author books, categories listing, per-ASIN details) — Audible's unauthenticated public **JSON catalog API** (`api.audible.<tld>/1.0/catalog/*`).
-- Structured JSON response (no parsing needed)
+- **Per-ASIN detail lookups** — Audnexus (`api.audnex.us/books/{asin}`) primary; catalog API used as fallback when Audnexus returns 404.
-- Provides: title, authors, narrators, description, duration, rating, genres, cover art
-- Free, no API key required
-- ~95% success rate for popular audiobooks
 
-**Fallback: Audible Scraping**
+## Architecture
-- Used when Audnexus returns 404
+
-- Parse Audible HTML with Cheerio
+- **Curated HTML (refresh job only):** the three methods called solely by `audible-refresh.processor.ts` (`getPopularAudiobooks`, `getNewReleases`, `getCategoryBooks`) scrape Audible's storefront HTML to inherit editorial curation. Beefed-up retry/backoff knobs (12 retries, 3-min jittered cap) handle 503 storms patiently on the nightly job without slowing healthy users.
-- Multiple selector strategies with promotional text filtering
+- **JSON catalog API (real-time):** `search`, `searchByAuthorAsin`, `getCategories` (categories listing), and `fetchAudibleDetailsFromApi` (per-ASIN fallback). Same endpoint used by the official Audible mobile apps. No authentication, no API key, no user credentials, no special headers.
-- Extract JSON-LD structured data when available
+- **Audnexus (per-ASIN):** `getAudiobookDetails` and `getRuntime` prefer Audnexus, with catalog API fallback for `getAudiobookDetails`.
+- **`www.audible.<tld>`:** Used by HTML refresh scraping, by `audible-series.ts`, and by `getBaseUrl()` for "View on Audible" link generation.
+
+## Data Sources
+
+### Nightly refresh (HTML — `htmlClient`, baseURL `www.audible.<tld>`)
+
+| Operation | Endpoint | Key params |
+|---|---|---|
+| Popular | `/adblbestsellers` | `pageSize=50`, `page=<n>` (omitted on first page) |
+| New releases | `/newreleases` | `pageSize=50`, `page=<n>` (omitted on first page) |
+| Category books | `/search` | `node=<categoryId>&pageSize=50&sort=popularity-rank&page=<n>` |
+
+Parsed via cheerio. Selectors: `.productListItem` (popular/new releases), `.s-result-item, .productListItem` (categories).
+
+### Real-time (JSON catalog API — `apiClient`, baseURL `api.audible.<tld>`)
+
+| Operation | Endpoint | Key params |
+|---|---|---|
+| Search | `/1.0/catalog/products` | `keywords=<q>` |
+| Author books | `/1.0/catalog/products` | `author=<name>` (name, NOT ASIN) |
+| Categories listing | `/1.0/catalog/categories` | (none) |
+| Single product | `/1.0/catalog/products/{asin}` | — |
+| Audnexus (per-ASIN) | `https://api.audnex.us/books/{asin}` | `region={audnexusParam}` |
+
+All `products` endpoints share:
+- `num_results` — max **50** (service constant `AUDIBLE_PAGE_SIZE = 50`)
+- `page` — **0-indexed at the API** (service public interface is 1-indexed; the service subtracts 1 at the call site). See Gotchas.
+- `response_groups=<CATALOG_RESPONSE_GROUPS>`
+
+## `response_groups` Constant
+
+`CATALOG_RESPONSE_GROUPS = 'contributors,product_desc,product_attrs,product_extended_attrs,media,rating,series,category_ladders,product_details'`
+
+Populates every `AudibleAudiobook` field. Covered:
+- `contributors` → authors (with ASINs), narrators
+- `product_desc` → `publisher_summary`, `merchandising_summary`
+- `product_attrs` / `product_extended_attrs` / `product_details` → title, release_date, language, runtime_length_min
+- `media` → `product_images` (cover URLs, uses `500` variant)
+- `rating` → `overall_distribution.display_stars`
+- `series` → array of `{asin, title, sequence}`
+- `category_ladders` → genre names (deduped, capped at 5)
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- **Catalog API cannot filter preorders or surface curated bestsellers.** The API's `BestSellers` sort is a right-now velocity rank that spikes on launch-day promos and preorder windows; the `-ReleaseDate` sort returns 100% future preorders. There is no server-side `release_time`, `released-only`, `customer_rights`, or alternate sort (`Reviewed`, `MostListened`, etc.) — every plausible variant was tested and silently ignored. This is why the nightly refresh job uses the curated HTML storefront pages instead.
+- **`author=` takes a name, not an ASIN.** The catalog API has no ASIN-based author param. `searchByAuthorAsin()` queries by name, then filters client-side: keeps only products where `products[].authors[].asin === authorAsin`. Preserves ASIN-authoritative author identity. Also filters by `product.language` via `isAcceptedLanguage()` for the configured region.
+- **Invalid ASIN returns HTTP 200 with stub body.** `/1.0/catalog/products/{asin}` responds 200 with `{product: {asin: INPUT}}` and no other fields. `fetchAudibleDetailsFromApi()` detects this via missing `product.title` and returns `null`.
+- **`publisher_summary` is HTML.** Service strips tags via inline `stripHtml()` helper (regex-based, no cheerio) before populating `description`. Falls back to `merchandising_summary` (plain text) if `publisher_summary` missing.
+- **Series is an array.** `products[].series[]` — a book may belong to multiple series. Service picks the first entry with non-empty `sequence`, else the first entry. `sequence` is cleaned by extracting first `/\d+(?:\.\d+)?/` match for numeric ordering.
+- **Stub `product_images`:** cover URL reads from `product_images['500']`; missing keys fall back to `undefined`.
+- **`page` is 0-indexed (catalog API only).** Despite the default value appearing to be 1, the API returns items `(page * num_results)` through `((page + 1) * num_results - 1)`. So `page=1` fetches items 51–100, not 1–50. All catalog-API service methods accept a 1-indexed `page` and subtract 1 at the axios call. The symptom of getting this wrong is silent: queries whose `total_results ≤ num_results` return an empty `products` array while `total_results` is populated (e.g. author searches for small catalogues). HTML paths use Audible's native 1-indexed `page` query param and omit it on the first page.
+
+## Rate Limiting & Resilience
+
+- **Real-time JSON API paths:** 503s are uncommon. `fetchWithRetry()` uses jittered exponential backoff, 5 retries, retries on 503/429/5xx. API responses include `Cache-Control: private, max-age=1800`.
+- **Nightly HTML refresh paths:** 503s are more likely (HTML storefront is more rate-sensitive). Same `fetchWithRetry()`, but with `HTML_MAX_RETRIES=12` and `HTML_MAX_BACKOFF_MS=180_000` (3-minute cap on jittered backoff). Healthy refreshes still complete fast (per-page success on attempt 0); users hit by sustained 503 storms grind through patiently rather than abandoning the refresh.
+- **`AdaptivePacer`** — inter-page delay 2–4 s baseline, scales up multiplicatively under retry pressure, with a 45–60 s circuit-breaker cooldown after 3 consecutive retry-pages.
+- **Per-batch cooldowns** in `audible-refresh.processor.ts` — 15–30 s between popular/new-releases, 10–20 s between categories.

-**Why Regions Matter:**
+**`AudibleRegionConfig` fields:** `code`, `name`, `baseUrl`, `apiBaseUrl`, `audnexusParam`, `language`.
-- Each Audible region uses different ASINs for the same audiobook
+
-- Metadata engines (Audnexus/Audible Agent) in Plex/Audiobookshelf must match RMAB's region
+**`isEnglish` flag:**
-- Mismatched regions cause poor search results and failed metadata matching
+- Non-English regions show amber warning in region dropdowns (setup wizard + admin settings): "Many features such as search, discovery, and metadata matching are not yet fully supported for non-English regions."
+- Dropdown options for non-English regions show `*` suffix.
+
+**Why regions matter:**
+- Each Audible region uses different ASINs for the same audiobook.
+- Metadata engines (Audnexus / Audible Agent) in Plex / Audiobookshelf must match RMAB's region.
 
 **Configuration:**
 - Key: `audible.region` (stored in database)
 - Default: `us`
 - Set during: Setup wizard (Backend Selection step) or Admin Settings (Library tab)
-- Help text instructs users to match their metadata engine region
+- Auto-detection: Service checks config before each request and re-initializes if region changed.
+- Cache clearing: Region change clears ConfigService cache and AudibleService state.
+- Automatic refresh: Region change triggers `audible_refresh` job.
 
-**Implementation:**
+**Per-region HTTP clients (on init):**
-- `AudibleService` loads region from config on initialization
+- `apiClient` — `baseURL=apiBaseUrl`, `Accept: application/json`, `User-Agent: ReadMeABook/1.0`, no language/ipRedirect params. Used for the real-time JSON catalog operations (search, author books, categories listing, per-ASIN details fallback).
-- Dynamically builds base URL: `AUDIBLE_REGIONS[region].baseUrl`
+- `htmlClient` — `baseURL=baseUrl`, rotating browser headers (`pickUserAgent` + `getBrowserHeaders`), default params `ipRedirectOverride=true` + `language=<audibleLocaleParam>`. Used by the nightly discovery refresh (`/adblbestsellers`, `/newreleases`, `/search?node=...`), by `audible-series.ts`, and by `getBaseUrl()`-based link generation.
-- Audnexus API calls include region parameter: `?region={code}`
+- Audnexus calls include `region=<audnexusParam>`.
-- IP redirect prevention: `?ipRedirectOverride=true` on all Audible requests (region only)
-- **Locale enforcement:** `?language=english` query parameter on all Audible requests (forces English content regardless of server IP geolocation)
-- Configuration service helper: `getAudibleRegion()` returns configured region
-- **Auto-detection of region changes**: Service checks config before each request and re-initializes if region changed
-- **Cache clearing**: When region changes, ConfigService cache and AudibleService initialization are cleared
-- **Automatic refresh**: Changing region automatically triggers `audible_refresh` job to fetch new data

+## Dedup & Works Table
+
+**Status:** ✅ Implemented | Two-pass dedup on every discovery view + cross-batch identity via works table
+
+Discovery views (search, author books, series detail) collapse duplicate Audible listings for the same recording (publisher re-listings, regional re-issues, full-cast vs single-narrator productions) into a single card. Two passes run in sequence:
+
+1. **Local pass — `deduplicateAndCollectGroups()`** (`src/lib/utils/deduplicate-audiobooks.ts`)
+   - Stateless, in-memory. Keys books by normalized title + sorted narrator set + duration (±max(5%, 10 min) tolerance), with subtitle compatibility to keep distinct series entries separate.
+   - Picks a canonical representative per group by `metadataScore()` (cover + rating + duration + description + narrator + release date + genres).
+   - Emits `DedupGroup[]` describing every multi-ASIN collapse → handed to `persistDedupGroups()` for the works table.
+
+2. **Works pass — `collapseByExistingWorks()`** (`src/lib/services/works.service.ts`)
+   - Async DB lookup. Reads `work_asins` for every ASIN in the local-passed list and collapses any books sharing a `workId` to one representative (same `metadataScore()` ranking).
+   - Catches duplicates the local pass misses: source-metadata divergence (e.g. HTML scraper captured different narrators), cross-page splits (paginated series), or non-matching field shapes.
+   - Degrades gracefully — returns the input unchanged on DB failure (view still renders).
+
+### Works Table Schema
+- `Work { id, title, author }` — one row per logical book
+- `WorkAsin { id, workId, asin, narrator?, durationMinutes?, isCanonical, source, createdAt }` — many ASINs per Work
+
+### Population Layers
+- **Layer 1 (auto):** `persistDedupGroups()` writes whenever the local pass finds a duplicate. Merges across pre-existing works when a new group spans them.
+- **Layer 2 (seed):** `seedAsin()` writes a single-ASIN work at request creation time, ensuring every requested ASIN has an entry to grow from.
+
+### Read Paths
+- **`collapseByExistingWorks()`** — view-level collapse (this section).
+- **`getSiblingAsins()`** — library availability matching (`audiobook-matcher.ts`), request-creation duplicate prevention (`request-creator.service.ts`), ignored-audiobook expansion. Returns sibling ASINs grouped by input ASIN.
+
+### Narrator Capture in HTML Scrapers
+- HTML scrapers (`audible-series.ts`, the two `parse*Items` parsers in `audible.service.ts`) capture **all** narrator anchors via `extractAllNarrators()` (`src/lib/utils/extract-narrator.ts`). Multi-narrator productions render each name as its own `<a href="?searchNarrator=...">` link; capturing only the first (prior bug) made co-narrated audiobooks fail to dedup. Order is not significant — `normalizeNarrator()` sorts before comparison.
+
+### Wired Routes
+- `src/app/api/audiobooks/search/route.ts`
+- `src/app/api/authors/[asin]/books/route.ts`
+- `src/app/api/series/[asin]/route.ts`
+
+Watched-list background jobs (`watched-lists.service.ts`) run the local pass only — they don't render a view, and the downstream `request-creator.service.ts` already does sibling-aware dedup at request creation time.

 ## Fixed Issues
 
-**Search returning empty results (2026-01-07)**
+**Series-page duplicates not collapsing across user views (2026-05-14)**
-- **Problem:** Audible changed HTML structure for search results from `.productListItem` to `.s-result-item`
+- **Problem:** Two re-listings of the same audiobook (same title, same narrator set, same duration, different ASINs) showed as two cards on series detail pages, even after the works table had already linked them via search-page dedup.
-- **Impact:** All search queries returned 0 results
+- **Root cause (two-part):** (1) HTML scrapers used `$el.find('a[href*="searchNarrator="]').first()` for multi-narrator productions, capturing only the first co-narrator. So two listings of the same recording landed in `deduplicateAndCollectGroups` with mismatched single-narrator strings and never merged. (2) `deduplicateAndCollectGroups` was stateless — it wrote to the works table but never read it back, so even when one path (e.g. search) successfully merged two ASINs and persisted the Work, every other path (series, author books) re-derived the dedup decision from scratch and split them again.
-- **Fix:** Updated `search()` method to support both `.s-result-item` (current) and `.productListItem` (legacy)
+- **Fix:** (1) New `extractAllNarrators()` helper (`src/lib/utils/extract-narrator.ts`) captures every `searchNarrator=` anchor and joins them; all three HTML scrapers route through it. (2) New `collapseByExistingWorks()` consults the works table after the local pass and collapses any remaining books sharing a `workId`. Wired into the three user-facing discovery routes (search / author books / series detail). Skipped for watched-list background jobs — those feed `request-creator.service.ts` which already does sibling-aware dedup.
-- **Selectors updated:**
+- **Location:** `src/lib/utils/extract-narrator.ts` (new); `src/lib/integrations/audible-series.ts` (parseSeriesBooks); `src/lib/integrations/audible.service.ts` (parseProductListItems + parseSearchResultItems); `src/lib/utils/deduplicate-audiobooks.ts` (`metadataScore` exported); `src/lib/services/works.service.ts` (`collapseByExistingWorks` added); three API routes updated.
-  - Main: `.s-result-item, .productListItem`
-  - Title: `h2` (new) or `h3 a` (legacy)
-  - Author: `a[href*="/author/"]` (new) or `.authorLabel` (legacy)
-  - Narrator: `a[href*="searchNarrator="]` (new) or `.narratorLabel` (legacy)
-  - Runtime: `span:contains("Length:")` (new) or `.runtimeLabel` (legacy)
-  - Rating: `.a-icon-star span` (new) or `.ratingsLabel` (legacy)
-- **Location:** `src/lib/integrations/audible.service.ts:235`
 
-**Some audiobooks missing from search results (2026-01-07)**
+**Discovery refresh reverted to curated HTML scraping (2026-05-14)**
-- **Problem:** ASIN extraction only matched `/pd/` URLs but some audiobooks use `/ac/` URLs
+- **Problem:** After switching all catalog ops to the JSON catalog API in `f564d0a`, the nightly discovery refresh (Popular / New Releases / user-configured Categories) started serving junk: New Releases became 100% preorders out to 2027, and Popular was dominated by launch-day no-name shovelware.
-- **Impact:** Books like "Beatitude" by DJ Krimmer (ASIN: B0DVH7XL36) were skipped
+- **Root cause:** `products_sort_by=BestSellers` is a right-now sales velocity rank that spikes on launch promos and preorder windows; `-ReleaseDate` returns all catalog items in date order with no released-only filter. The catalog API exposes no server-side filter to exclude preorders or sort by established popularity (verified by exhaustively testing `release_time`, `availability_status`, `customer_rights`, `Reviewed`/`MostListened`/`SalesRank` sorts — all silently ignored or rejected). Doing the curation client-side would have made RMAB the editorial curator, which Audible's storefront pages already do well.
-- **Fix:** Updated ASIN regex to match both `/pd/` and `/ac/` URL patterns: `/\/(?:pd|ac)\/[^\/]+\/([A-Z0-9]{10})/`
+- **Fix:** Hybrid architecture — the three refresh-only methods (`getPopularAudiobooks`, `getNewReleases`, `getCategoryBooks`) went back to scraping Audible's curated HTML storefronts (`/adblbestsellers`, `/newreleases`, `/search?node=<id>&sort=popularity-rank`). All user-facing real-time paths (search, author books, categories listing, per-ASIN details) stayed on the JSON catalog API. To keep the higher-503-risk HTML traffic resilient on the unattended nightly job, `fetchWithRetry()` accepts an optional `maxBackoffMs` cap and HTML callers use `HTML_MAX_RETRIES=12` + `HTML_MAX_BACKOFF_MS=180_000` (3-min cap). Healthy users finish quickly; 503-blocked users grind through patiently.
-- **Location:** `src/lib/integrations/audible.service.ts:75, 161, 240`
+- **Location:** `src/lib/integrations/audible.service.ts` (three methods + two private parsers `parseProductListItems` / `parseSearchResultItems`); `src/lib/utils/scrape-resilience.ts` (`jitteredBackoff` cap parameter).
-- **Affects:** `getPopularAudiobooks()`, `getNewReleases()`, `search()` methods
 
 **Audiobookshelf metadata matching not respecting configured region (2026-01-28)**
-- **Problem:** `triggerABSItemMatch()` hardcoded `'audible'` provider (audible.com) instead of respecting user's configured Audible region
+- **Problem:** `triggerABSItemMatch()` hardcoded `'audible'` provider (audible.com) instead of respecting user's configured Audible region.
-- **Impact:** Users with non-US regions (CA, UK, AU, IN) had incorrect metadata matching in Audiobookshelf, causing wrong ASINs and poor search results
+- **Impact:** Users with non-US regions (CA, UK, AU, IN) had incorrect metadata matching in Audiobookshelf, causing wrong ASINs.
-- **Fix:** Added `mapRegionToABSProvider()` to convert RMAB region codes to AudiobookShelf provider values. US → `'audible'`, others → `'audible.{region}'` (e.g., `'audible.ca'`, `'audible.uk'`)

 - **Location:** `src/lib/services/audiobookshelf/api.ts:14, 147`
-- **Affects:** All Audiobookshelf metadata matching operations
 
 **Non-English locale pages served to users outside US (2026-02-05)**
-- **Problem:** Audible uses IP geolocation to serve locale-specific pages (e.g., Spanish content for Dominican Republic IPs). `ipRedirectOverride=true` only prevents region redirects (audible.com → audible.co.uk), NOT language/locale changes.
+- **Problem:** Audible uses IP geolocation to serve locale-specific pages. `ipRedirectOverride=true` only prevents region redirects, NOT language/locale changes.
-- **Impact:** Users self-hosting from non-English-speaking countries got non-English bestsellers/new releases on their homepage.
+- **Impact:** Users self-hosting from non-English-speaking countries got non-English content on HTML-scraped surfaces.
-- **Fix:** Added `language=english` query parameter to all Audible requests via axios default params. Audible respects this parameter and serves English content regardless of IP geolocation. Fails gracefully for regions where English isn't available.
+- **Fix:** Added `language=<audibleLocaleParam>` default param on `htmlClient` (axios default params). Still in effect for the remaining HTML path (`audible-series.ts`). **Not applied to `apiClient`** — the catalog JSON API is region-bound via `apiBaseUrl` and does not require the language param.

+- **Location:** `src/lib/integrations/audible.service.ts` — `initialize()` (htmlClient params)
-- **Affects:** All Audible scraping: popular, new releases, search, detail pages
