Detect external DB/Redis via flags; sanitize URLs

Improve entrypoint handling for external services and startup wrappers. entrypoint.sh now more robustly parses REDIS_URL (handles optional :password@host) and masks credentials when printing DATABASE_URL/REDIS_URL. It exports USE_EXTERNAL_POSTGRES and USE_EXTERNAL_REDIS so supervisor wrappers can decide behavior without re-parsing URLs. The temporary PostgreSQL shutdown was moved to after Prisma migrations and a warning was added when pushing schema to an external DB. postgres-start.sh and redis-start.sh were simplified to check the USE_EXTERNAL_* flags and sleep if an external service is configured. Also cleaned up formatting of the PostgreSQL ownership error message.

+**Status:** ✅ Implemented | Extensible notification system with Discord, ntfy, and Pushover support
 
 ## Overview
 Sends notifications for audiobook request events (pending approval, approved, available, error) to configured backends. Non-blocking, atomic per-backend failure handling. Proper notification timing for all request flows including interactive search.
 
 ## Key Details
-- **Backends:** Discord (webhooks), Pushover (API)
-- **Events:** request_pending_approval, request_approved, request_available, request_error
-- **Encryption:** AES-256-GCM for sensitive config (webhook URLs, API keys)
+- **Backends:** Apprise (API), Discord (webhooks), ntfy (API), Pushover (API)
+- **Events:** request_pending_approval, request_approved, request_available, request_error, issue_reported
+- **Encryption:** AES-256-GCM for sensitive config (webhook URLs, API keys, notification URLs)
 - **Delivery:** Async via Bull job queue (priority 5)
 - **Failure Handling:** Non-blocking, Promise.allSettled (one backend fails, others succeed)

+
+**Provider Pattern:** `INotificationProvider` interface + registry (matches `IAuthProvider` pattern)
+
+```
+src/lib/services/notification/
+  INotificationProvider.ts          # Interface + shared types
+  notification.service.ts           # Core service with registry
+  index.ts                          # Re-exports
+  providers/
+    apprise.provider.ts             # Apprise API (100+ services)

+    ntfy.provider.ts                # ntfy API
+    pushover.provider.ts            # Pushover API
+```
+
+**Registry:** Module-level `Map<string, INotificationProvider>` with `registerProvider()` / `getProvider()`
+
+**INotificationProvider interface:**
+- `type: string` — provider identifier (registry key)
+- `sensitiveFields: string[]` — fields needing encryption/masking
+- `metadata: ProviderMetadata` — self-describing UI/validation metadata
+- `send(config, payload): Promise<void>` — receives decrypted config
+
+**ProviderMetadata:** `{ type, displayName, description, iconLabel, iconColor, configFields[] }`
+**ProviderConfigField:** `{ name, label, type, required, placeholder?, defaultValue?, options? }`
+
+**Helper functions (notification.service.ts):**
+- `getRegisteredProviderTypes(): string[]` — all registered type keys
+- `getAllProviderMetadata(): ProviderMetadata[]` — metadata for all providers
+
+**Helper functions (notification-events.ts):**
+- `getEventMeta(event)` — raw event metadata (label, title, emoji, severity, priority)
+- `getEventTitle(event, requestType?)` — resolved title (checks `titleByRequestType` first, falls back to `title`)
+- `getEventLabel(event)` — human-readable label for UI
+
+**API Endpoint:** `GET /api/admin/notifications/providers` — returns all provider metadata (admin-only)
 
 ## Extensibility
 
-**Adding New Backend (e.g., Email):**
-1. Add 'email' to NotificationBackendType enum
-2. Create EmailConfig interface
-3. Add encryption logic for smtpPassword
-4. Implement sendEmail() method in NotificationService
-5. Add email card to type selector (green "E" badge)
-6. Add email form fields to modal
+**Adding New Backend (2 steps):**
+1. Create `providers/email.provider.ts` implementing `INotificationProvider`:
+   - Set `type = 'email'`, `sensitiveFields = ['smtpPassword']`
+   - Set `metadata` with displayName, description, iconLabel, iconColor, configFields
+   - Implement `send()` with email-specific logic
+2. Register in `notification.service.ts`: `registerProvider(new EmailProvider())` + re-export from `index.ts`
+
+No UI changes, no API route changes, no Zod schema changes needed — the UI renders dynamically from provider metadata.
 
 **Adding New Event (e.g., download_complete):**
-1. Add 'download_complete' to NotificationEvent enum
-2. Add to event labels in UI
-3. Add trigger point in processor
-4. Add message formatting in Discord/Pushover formatters
+1. Add entry to `NOTIFICATION_EVENTS` in `notification-events.ts` (label, title, emoji, severity, priority)
+2. Optionally add `titleByRequestType` for type-specific titles
+3. Add trigger point in processor, passing `requestType` if relevant
+4. Providers auto-resolve titles via `getEventTitle()` — no per-provider changes needed
