Rebuilds the users roster, metadata field rules, file naming and metadata
score panels, and replaces the libraries list with an expandable ledger.
Libraries now batch their counts and last scan into one request instead of a
per-library fan-out, and surface scan history from scan_jobs on demand.
Let each user choose which accessible libraries feed dashboard shelves and reading widgets while preserving access checks and Smart Scope filters.
Closes#1113
Read variable-font axes and named instances so readers can select real weight and style variants instead of synthesized faces. Preserve the axis default, accept the full CSS weight range, and keep saved choices stable while font catalogs load.
Require the new settings fields for complete EPUB defaults, keep per-book patches partial, and widen the persisted font-weight constraints to match CSS.
Closes#533
Editing Date Started or Date Finished sent a date-only patch that the attempt layer had nothing to
attach it to. On an unread book no attempt was created, so the request returned 200 with null dates
and the field cleared itself. On a book being read the date landed on the open attempt as an end
date with no outcome, violating reading_attempts_closed_has_outcome_chk and surfacing as a 500.
Treat a date-only patch as a lifecycle statement: a start date opens an attempt and projects
reading, a finish date closes one as completed and projects read, and endedOn is never written
without its outcome. Clearing a finish date keeps the completion, because an outcome with no
completion date is legal and is already what re-read seeding writes. Setting a finish date on an
abandoned book now completes it. Reject a status that contradicts its dates with a stable error
code the client can translate, and derive statusChanged from the resulting status so a date-driven
transition still reaches achievements and the Kobo projection.
Keep unread and want_to_read free of dates they cannot own. The attempt keeps its own, so a book
marked unread no longer projects a start and finish date once a historical attempt is logged, and
marking a finished book unread no longer strands its finish date on the projection.
Stop the Hardcover import sending dates a status cannot carry. A want-to-read row that still holds
a start date would otherwise fail its row and skip the status import entirely.
Closes#1073
Return a stable error code for private issuer rejections and translate it in settings so administrators can apply the required production override.
Closes#1065
Define a list of protected technical terms that must retain their English source text in target
catalogs.
Enforce protected term parity in validate-locales.mjs and restore protected terms automatically
during Crowdin synchronization, recording any corrected translations in the sync report.
Two independent guards were failing the workflow on healthy input.
Retention read "exported value equals the English source" as a lost translation, but exports are
built with skipUntranslatedStrings, so Crowdin omits a key entirely once it stops carrying a
translation. Anything present in the export is by definition translated, and the equality check only
ever fired on correct work: Spanish "Error", "Feb" and "Cookie", French "Description", Portuguese
"Readwise". Retention now compares presence alone, which is what absence already meant. The same
inference lived in a legacyComplete branch that would have silently stopped protecting the 2,318
keys whose translation legitimately equals the source once any locale reached full translation.
Scheduled runs had no way out of that. The only escape hatch is allowed_translation_losses, a
workflow_dispatch input that is never persisted, so every schedule rediscovered the same losses and
failed until someone dispatched the run by hand.
The slot count rule then only runs for the keys it is given, and the sync passed none, so its
rejection filter was weaker than the locale validation running on its output one step later. An
invalid ja message survived the filter, reached the catalog, and failed the next step instead of
being dropped and reported. Move the source scan into locale-source-keys.mjs so the sync and
validate-locales.mjs derive the same keys.
Every comicvine search probed up to eight candidate volumes one request at a time, each holding a
one second rate limiter slot against an endpoint that answers in three to four seconds, so the
fifteen second provider budget ran out before the right volume was reached and the search reported
an empty result. Rank volumes on the name and issue count already carried by the volume search
response, then probe them in concurrent waves, so the runs that can hold the issue are tried first
and within budget.
Bind the work to a soft deadline that aborts requests still in flight. Reaching it now yields the
candidates already found, rather than letting a late detail lookup cross the hard timeout and take
everything with it. A probe or detail lookup that fails or is throttled costs its own result only,
never its siblings or the candidate it was enriching.
Take the series name from a query the user actually typed instead of the stored one, or searching a
comic for a different series silently returned the series it was already filed under. Strip the
zero padding comic filenames add to issue numbers in the provider rather than only in the search
controller, so the background refresh path benefits too.
Report a provider that timed out, was throttled, or failed as its own stream event, since all three
were indistinguishable from a genuinely empty result. Candidates keep the default event and an
unchanged payload, so a client has to read the event name to tell the two apart.
Fixes#1039
The edit form was hydrated by a watcher on the author object, so every path that replaced that
object rewrote the drafts from the persisted record. Uploading an image, removing one, or
refreshing metadata each reassign the author, which silently reverted anything typed into the
name, sort name, or description fields.
Seed the drafts from the author only when the form has no unsaved changes, or when a different
author is loaded, and reseed after a successful save so later refreshes are still adopted.
Fixes#1037
Clearing a book's progress deleted the shared row and left the KOReader device row behind, so
the next pull served the deleted position straight back. Clearing that row too is not enough
either: an empty response reads as "this server knows nothing about your book", which is the
one reply that leaves a device certain its own sidecar is the only position there is, and it
pushes that back on the next sync.
Record the reset as a durable fact and answer the pull with a real start position attributed to
BookOrbit. Route the position by format, because KOReader's own kosync plugin feeds it straight
to GotoPage or GotoXPointer with no percentage fallback and an empty value leaves the reader
where it was. Stamp each delivery as current, because both clients compare that against their
last page turn and default backward syncs to disabled, so the original reset time would be
dropped on any pull deferred past a page turn without ever prompting.
Serving a reset proves nothing, since either client can classify it as a backward sync and drop
it silently, so the marker survives delivery and a device is held until its own push reports the
start. Retire it once a device that took the reset reads on: the pull carries no device
identity, so a marker kept alive past its purpose is answered to every device and would send
that one back to the start on every sync. The bound this leaves is deliberate. A second device
that never took the reset is protected only until the first reads on, and closing that needs
device_id on the pull, which is a plugin change.
Judge convergence on the reported position rather than the percentage, so page 1 of a hundred
page comic is not mistaken for a position no short book could ever reach. Wind Kobo bookmarks
back through the same paths, since a Kobo device otherwise resumes from its own bookmark and
reports it back the same way.
Closes#1032
The ring read only reading_progress, the stored reading position, which nothing writes
except the web reader, Kobo sync and KOReader sync. Manual sessions record endProgress on
the session row and touch nothing else, so a book whose whole history was entered by hand
sat at 0% no matter how far the sessions ran, and marking it read did not help either.
Surface the log's own view of progress instead of writing a reading position from a manual
session: that path also drives auto read-status updates, achievement events and Hardcover
and StoryGraph sync, and would store a position with no CFI for the reader to restore.
Take the most recent session that recorded an endProgress rather than the highest, so a
reread still reads correctly once its first session lands. Read it outside the list date
and format filters, otherwise narrowing the log would drag the ring down with it. The
client folds the value into the max it already computes across ebook and audiobook
positions, which also lets the ring update when a session is added or deleted.
Closes#1030
Audnexus was the only author provider, and it returns just an ASIN, name,
description and image. Goodreads carries a far richer author record, so add it
as a second provider and let each field choose where it comes from.
The Goodreads API was retired in 2020, so the provider scrapes: a name resolves
to an author id through the WAF-free /book/auto_complete endpoint, falling back
to the author search page for names that only differ by a middle initial, and
the author page yields the biography, photo, birth and death dates, website,
genres and influences. Two rendering quirks are worth knowing about, since both
silently return the wrong value: free-text fields appear twice, truncated and
whole, so the parser takes whichever copy carries the most content; and the
birthplace sits in a bare text node while only the date is wrapped in a
dataItem, so authors with a place but no date correctly store nothing.
Preferences are now per field, mirroring the book-side FieldPreference model,
with an ordered provider list and a merge strategy each. They are global,
because an author row is shared across every library and cannot hold a
different biography per library. Providers declare which fields they can return
and both the resolver and the settings UI filter on that, so Audnexus can never
be assigned to a field it has no way to fill. The single global write mode is
migrated into each field's merge strategy on first read, keeping an existing
install's overwrite behaviour instead of silently adopting the default.
The executor now queries every listed provider and resolves each field
independently, first non-empty value winning, and records which provider
supplied the record so a re-run can pin the match instead of searching by name
again. overwriteIfProvided skips empty values, which is what lets a matched
author with an empty Audnexus biography fall through to Goodreads.
Extend the migration module beyond Booklore and Grimmory so an existing Audiobookshelf or
Calibre-Web Automated library can be moved into BookOrbit without rebuilding user state by
hand. Audiobookshelf supports both a live API connection and an offline backup file, while
Calibre-Web Automated reads a stopped snapshot of the app and metadata databases.
Match source books by ASIN in addition to ISBN, and batch the ISBN, ASIN, file hash, file
path, and title/author lookups so planning a large library issues a bounded number of
queries rather than one per book. Route the batched author comparison through the shared
accent-insensitive predicate, which now accepts a SQL fragment so a per-row pattern column
is matched the same way a bound literal is.
Extract the shared source connection form into MigrationSourceFields so the modal and the
settings page stay in sync as source types are added, and allow a mapping to skip a source
user instead of forcing every account to be imported.
Closes#986
Looking up a plural showed only "plural of candelabra", and looking up "candelabra" added a Latin
declension line beneath it. Both come from the Wiktionary path, which English lookups fall through
to whenever api.dictionaryapi.dev fails; it 502s often enough that readers hit it regularly.
Read only the requested language section. Wiktionary keys a page by language and returns every
language that spells the word the same way, so iterating Object.values() merged Latin into English.
This was not a rare edge case: of 14 common words sampled, 13 carried foreign senses, and "fare"
rendered 129 definitions of which 18 were English.
Follow an inflection gloss to the word that carries the meaning, bounded to depth 2, three lemma
fetches and a visited set for cycles. Only a pointer in the leading sense of its block is followed,
which is what separates "candelabras" from the "simple past of bake" buried at sense 10 of "book".
A lemma that fails to resolve is dropped rather than failing the lookup. Detection requires every
word before "of" to be grammatical, so "Informal form of address used by juniors" stays a
definition rather than sending the reader to "address".
Drop script and style elements before reading textContent. Wiktionary ships an inline <style> with
some senses and its CSS was rendering as part of the definition, visibly so on "fare".
Merge blocks that share a part of speech and cap each at five senses, so a resolved chain stays
readable and the popover stops keying a v-for on a duplicated part of speech.
Pointer following is deliberately English-only. fr.wiktionary writes "pluriel de chat", and
guessing at sixteen languages of grammar vocabulary is not worth it; non-English lookups still gain
the language filter. The Free Dictionary path is also unchanged for "candelabras", where its own
gloss "A single candelabrum." is circular but not a recognizable pointer.
Closes#1020
On a phone the settings panel had no reachable exit. `hide-close` dropped the built-in close
button and nothing replaced it, the grab handle was decorative with no swipe-to-dismiss behind
it, and the compact trigger only ever set the panel open. That left tapping the overlay as the
sole way out, and `max-h-[85vh]` closed off even that: `vh` resolves against the toolbar-retracted
viewport, so with browser chrome on screen the sheet covered nearly the whole visible area. Only
fullscreen, where the two viewports agree, left a gap big enough to hit.
Move the sheet chrome into a shared ReaderSettingsSheet instead of patching both call sites. The
epub and cbz sheets were identical copies, which is why the bug existed twice. Leave the desktop
popover path alone; it closes correctly already.
Closes#1016
Move chokidar to 5, pinia to 4, and jsdom to 30 with a matching
@types/jsdom, and align packages/types on TypeScript 6 with the other
workspaces.
chokidar 5 is ESM-only while the server compiles to CommonJS. Node's
require(ESM) support covers this, verified against a live watcher and a
nest watch build rather than the mocked unit tests.
Remove @fastify/formbody and @tanstack/vue-table, neither of which had a
single caller, along with the stale @tanstack/vue-table entry in the Vite
optimizeDeps list.
Hold TypeScript at 6. typescript-eslint refuses to install alongside 7 and
vue-tsc cannot drive the native checker until the stable compiler API
lands in 7.1.
Ignore pnpm-lock.yaml in prettier so lint-staged stops rewriting it out of
pnpm's native style, which was inflating every lockfile diff to roughly
19k lines.
A provider identifier parsed out of an OPF was passed on verbatim, so a Calibre
`opf:scheme="AMAZON"` holding a product URL reached a varchar(20) column as a 36-character
value. It could not be stored, and the next manual save of that book was rejected for a field
the user never typed into. Drop an identifier that cannot fit its column rather than truncating
it: an overflowing value is not a long identifier, it is a different kind of value, and its
first 20 characters are not an ASIN either. Enforce the same bound where every extractor
converges, so no parser can fail a metadata write with a Postgres 22001.
Keep the server's description of a rejected save instead of discarding the response body. Only
that text names the field at fault, so the editor showed a bare "HTTP 400" and left the reason
in the network tab. It stays untranslated, so it is preferred over the catalog message rather
than replacing it, and the failure is carried as a structured value so the component still
translates everything else.
Tie the DTO limits to the column widths they were copied from, and guard the pair with a test,
since nothing connected them when they drifted apart.
Stand Node's built-in web storage down in the client test run. Node 26 defines localStorage on
globalThis, jsdom shares that object, and its getter reads as undefined without
--localstorage-file, which failed 229 tests across 28 unrelated suites on CI.
Closes#1015
Author, narrator, genre and tag names written before whitespace normalization existed can hold
a non-breaking space, tab, newline or doubled space. HTML collapses all of those, so the name
renders correctly in the UI while the ILIKE search predicate never matches it; unaccent() does
not touch whitespace either. Re-entering an identical name by hand fixed a single book because
the write path canonicalizes the row it reuses, but nothing ever ran for untouched books.
Collapse stored names to the form normalizeMetadataTextSql() produces, merging rows that collide
once collapsed and remapping every junction and content-filter reference before a duplicate is
dropped. Case variants are left alone, since search is already case-insensitive. Close the two
write paths that still produced un-collapsed names, and normalize the typed search term so a
pasted non-breaking space still matches.
Also carries staged client appearance work: the surface brightness picker and related controls.
Closes#1014
Removing a KOReader device was the only way to take a decommissioned reader off the list, and it
permanently deleted that device's page-by-page reading events, per-device progress, sweep record,
naming pattern and sole-source unmatched books. Derived reading sessions survived, but the raw
events did not, and the plugin keeps its upload watermark on the device, so nothing ever
re-uploaded them.
Add retirement as a marker table rather than a device registry. Device identity is implicit,
spread across five device-keyed tables and surfaced by a DISTINCT ON over device progress, so
there is no row to carry a flag and nothing to backfill. Retiring records only (user, device);
every byte the device synced stays where it is.
Clear the marker whenever a retired device syncs again, on single-book progress, bulk sweeps,
page-stat uploads and sweep completion, so reading never accrues against a device the user cannot
see. Keep deleting synced data as a separate, explicit action on the retired row, and clear the
marker it would otherwise leave behind.
Move the confirm copy to new message keys instead of reusing the ones whose meaning changed, so
the sparse target catalogs cannot ship a stale translation of a destructive dialog.
Closes#996
The auto-scan cron expression was validated, persisted and shown in the UI, but nothing ever
consumed it, so a library configured with a schedule never scanned and no scan job was ever
recorded with the schedule trigger.
Register a cron job per configured library on boot and keep it in step as libraries are created,
updated and deleted. An occurrence that lands while a scan is already running is skipped rather
than retried, and a failing occurrence leaves the job registered so later ones still fire.
Schedules run in the server timezone, matching the cleanup, audit and statistics jobs, so a
deployment that sets TZ gets the wall-clock time its users expect.
Move cron validation into a single shared grammar used by both the API and the schedule editor.
The two sides previously disagreed in both directions: the UI accepted step-zero and reversed
ranges that the API rejected, and rejected day names the API accepted. The grammar is a strict
subset of what the scheduler and the human-readable preview can each parse, so an expression the
editor marks valid can always be scheduled.
Closes#985
Require manage_book_dock for the settings UI and the scoped API so regular Book Dock users cannot
view or modify administrative configuration.
Reject every Book Dock key on the generic PATCH /app-settings/:key route as well, including
book_dock_paused. That route accepted the same keys with any string value, so an operator with
manage_app_settings could store an out-of-range threshold or an unknown metadata mode and bypass
the validation the scoped endpoints apply.
Closes#1003
Expose the existing credential update path so users can rotate the single KOReader login without deleting synced data. Clarify the current settings location and device reconnection requirement.
Closes#990
The KOReader settings page displayed the origin-only base URL without the /api/v1/koreader path suffix, causing manual URL copy and built-in progress sync setup to fail due to incomplete endpoint paths.
Updates the UI to display the full KOReader sync URL with the API endpoint path included, consolidates redundant copy fields, and updates plugin URL normalization to handle full stock sync URLs seamlessly.
Closes#981
The locale validator demanded every CLDR plural category, so each new ICU plural key took the daily
Crowdin sync red until a `many` branch was hand-added for Spanish and French. That branch can never
render: `many` selects at a million and over in Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese, and only
for fractional counts in Czech and Slovak, while every catalog plural counts whole items well below
a million and intl-messageformat falls back to `other` regardless. Require only the categories an
integer count 0..1000 can select, which is the same set every integer below a million selects, and
keep `other` always so the categories everyday counts reach stay mandatory.
Drop a target message that still fails validation from the sparse catalog instead of failing the
whole export, so one broken string can no longer block the other 23 languages for days. Report the
rejections in the run log and the pull request body, and keep the retention guard fatal when a
rejected message would replace a translation that is already in Git.
Replace the nine-column table with one list of uniform rows that reflows through a container
query, so a single component serves both desktop and phone. Surface the match score, applied
state and write path that the old row buried in tertiary text.
Back it with a needsReview filter and attention sort over existing indexed columns, threaded
through every bulk selection path so select-all cannot target the wrong rows. Keep confidence
advisory: it gates automatic finalization only.
BookDockSummary gains three additive counts; ../bookorbit-ios mirrors these types by hand.
Browse was the only labelled zone that could not be collapsed, leaving no way to reclaim
those rows for someone who never browses by author or series. Reuse the section header,
persistence and rail behaviour the entity sections already have rather than introducing a
second mechanism, and extract the shared collapse transition so both call sites stay in
step.
Browse has no entity list to bound, so make the persisted section cap optional and keep it
off that section entirely. Zones now carry their own section id, so adding another
collapsible zone needs no change in the template.
The search params used one flag for two questions: which edition a provider should return, and
whether audiobook-only providers may run. Every caller that wanted the second forced the flag true,
so iTunes asked for entity=audiobook whenever Audible, AudNexus or Libro.fm was in the provider set.
Split the two, and derive the media type from the book's primary file so a record holding both an
ebook and an audiobook no longer searches as an audiobook in one drawer and an ebook in the other.
Closes#982
Cover search always opened on DuckDuckGo, so anyone who prefers another source had to switch it by
hand for every book. Store the choice per user and apply it when the drawer opens. Cache the value
client-side so the drawer never waits on a request to become usable, and save it to the account
rather than the device so it reaches the iOS client too. AudiobookCovers is not offered as a
default because it only returns results for audiobooks.
Closes#983
Collections opened in title order, so a curated shelf came back rearranged. Add a collectionOrder
sort field, make it the default for collection views, and offer it from a sort control that grid
and list previously did not have.
Back the ordering with a new collection_books.position sequence rather than added_at: added_at
defaults to now(), the transaction timestamp, so every book added in one request shared it and the
order fell back to books.id. Kobo collection paging had the same tie and now orders by position.
Also stop useBookWindow blanking its slots and total on every query change. Clearing them collapsed
the virtual list to zero height and back, which read as a flash on any sort, search, or filter
change.
Closes#978
Resolve {library} to the name of the library a book belongs to, so a
single KOReader device pattern can keep each library in its own subtree
on the device instead of merging every library into one tree.
The token is populated in every server-side pattern surface: KOReader
manifest and book detail device paths, upload, automatic and bulk
rename, book move (target library), download filenames, and BookDock
finalize.
Traditional Chinese cannot reuse the `%two_letters_code%` filename because it would collide with
Simplified under `zh.json`, so `crowdin.yml` maps `zh-TW` to a `zh-Hant` catalog and locale
matching resolves by script subtag before falling back to the base language. Every other new
locale keeps its bare two-letter ID.
Twenty-five entries outgrew the old menus. The mobile submenu inherited `overflow-hidden` with no
max-height, so the last nine languages were unreachable on a phone, and the list was ordered by
ISO code while displaying endonyms, which reads as unsorted. Both header menus now render one
LanguagePicker that searches the native name, the English name and the locale code, groups the
browser's own languages as suggestions, and orders the rest with a collator on the string it
actually shows. Mobile opens a sheet instead of a nested flyout, since a flyout is the wrong
shape for touch regardless of height. Settings gains the Appearance language section its copy
has anticipated since the keys were added.
Tighten the Crowdin progress chart, which the longer language list had stretched to 810px tall.
Non-credential secrets rendered as input[type="password"], so every
settings tab click unmounted a populated password form during a
pushState navigation, matching Chrome's heuristic for a submitted login
form and popping the "Update password?" bubble.
Render them as masked text inputs instead, and guard the boundary with a
static scan that restricts input[type="password"] to BookOrbit login
forms.
Kobo sync replaces the store API for the device but only ever answered for
BookOrbit's own books, so anything owned through Kobo fell through the gaps.
Library sync never queried Kobo, so Kobo Plus and purchased titles had no route
to the device at all. Add an opt-in per-user store sync that pulls the device's
upstream entitlements with the device's own Kobo credentials, which still reach
us because initialization leaves device_auth and device_refresh pointing at
Kobo, and appends them to BookOrbit's own. Both cursors ride in one composite
sync token, so no server-side state is needed and tokens minted before this
change keep working. The store is only consulted once BookOrbit has drained its
own pages, and paging stops if Kobo's cursor fails to advance.
Everything on the store path stays inside one guarantee: reading the setting, or
a store that is slow, down, unauthorized or answering with a body we cannot use,
costs the store page and never the BookOrbit half of the sync.
Initialization also rewrites the image templates to point at BookOrbit, so the
device asked us for store covers too. Those were forwarded to storeapi.kobo.com,
which does not serve images, and 404d. Redirect unresolved cover ids to Kobo's
image CDN instead. This is not gated on store sync, since browsing the store
shows those covers whether or not the setting is on.
Deliberately left alone: annotation pulls still 404 for content that is not a
BookOrbit book. The device reconciles annotations by omission, so answering with
an empty set would wipe its local highlights.
Closes#789
A shelf rendered a single horizontal row, which wastes space on wide screens and shows very
few books on narrow ones. Each shelf now carries a row count of 1 to 3, set per shelf in the
dashboard settings drawer.
Books fill bands left to right rather than filling each column top to bottom. The cheaper
grid-auto-flow approach would put the second most recent book directly under the first, which
reads wrong on ordered shelves like Continue Reading and Up Next in Series.
Below the sm breakpoint the row count is capped at two, since only two covers fit across and a
third row costs a screen height to gain two books. A shelf fetches limit * rows books, clamped
to the limit the server already accepts, so no server behaviour changes. DASHBOARD_SCROLLER_MAX_LIMIT
moves into the shared types package so both sides read one value instead of drifting apart.
The row count is part of the shelf key because a shelf snapshots its fetch limit during setup;
without it, switching to three rows would re-flow the books fetched for one.
Also widen the settings drawer, which was pinned at 384px because SheetContent's own sm:max-w-sm
outranked the plain max-w override in tailwind-merge, put Shelves ahead of Widgets, and move the
customize control out of the floating layer into the greeting row where it is not missed.
Closes#928
Selecting inside a collapsed library was broken in every layout: a grid series card navigated
into the series instead of selecting, and a list or table series row selected only the
representative book rather than the series it stands for.
Suppress collapse for as long as select mode is active, so the list reloads uncollapsed and
every row is an individual, selectable book. The saved collapse preference is untouched and
comes back on exit. The toolbar toggle stays focusable while locked and explains itself
through its tooltip, since entering select mode visibly re-lays out the view.
Closes#963
The skeleton kept animate-pulse after the image landed, and opacity-0 could not hide it because a
CSS animation overrides the specified value. Every rendered cover ran an infinite opacity animation
behind an opaque image for the life of the page. Idle library view in Firefox 153: 109% CPU before,
0.0% after.
