Let users request books, route approvals, search configured sources, and import fulfilled releases through the Book Dock. Include scoped permissions, automation, download-client integrations, plugin support, requester visibility, and one consolidated schema migration.

Ref #1115
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.
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
Book Dock was a single permission that the standard preset handed to every user, so an ordinary
account could pause processing, trigger a rescan, and finalize straight into the library. Keep
book_dock_access for personal upload and review, and move global control behind a new
manage_book_dock permission in the administration group.
Finalization now also requires library_upload, since it writes into a library. Per-file reads and
mutations are scoped to the uploader unless the caller can manage the dock, which closes the gap
that let any Book Dock user read, edit, or discard another user's entry by id. The summary
websocket now announces a change instead of broadcasting global counts, so each client refetches
its own scoped totals.
Closes#961
The lockout was checked before the password was verified, so a correct password on a locked
account returned the same generic invalid-credentials error as a wrong one. Users had no way to
tell the two apart, and the natural response was to keep retrying a password that was already
right.
Completing a password reset did not clear the lock either, so the one recovery path the UI
advertises appeared to fail for up to fifteen minutes after a successful reset.
Verify the password first and report the lockout, with the remaining wait, only when the supplied
password was correct. Someone guessing wrong passwords still gets the generic failure, so account
existence is not leaked. Clear the lock whenever a password is reset or changed, and give admins
an explicit unlock action for the case where waiting is not acceptable.
Add index on books table for random dashboard scroller queries, batch dashboard scroller requests, instrument pg pool logging, and cover dashboard scroller batching in e2e tests.
Replaces the implementation from #818 with a job-backed flow. Moves are
planned up front and surfaced as a preview the user confirms, then run
through a planner/executor split against a book_move_jobs table, so
progress is trackable and partial failures roll back.
The dialog-based flow from #818 is superseded: its module, service, and
repository are removed here in favour of the job-based equivalents. Its
e2e coverage is replaced by a book-move suite that exercises preview
classification, the collision policies, file relocation, preserved user
state, and the books-before-book_files update ordering that the
composite folder foreign key constrains.
Also adds dashboard shelf layout configuration.

Kobo devices send GET requests to /v1/analytics/gettests during sync checks. Previously only POST was handled, causing 404 errors during subsequent syncs.
Closes#697
* build(deps): synchronize i18n lockfile
Record the locale dependencies so frozen installs can resolve the client workspace.
* feat(stats): expose privacy-aware reading insights
- Give administrators permission-gated access to bounded account activity.
- Let readers opt into auditable shared reading insights.
Ref #501
Introduce a LIBRARY_BROWSE_ROOT environment variable (defaulting to the
current directory) to restrict directories users can browse and select when
setting up library paths. Add a PathPolicyService on the backend to enforce
path containment checks securely, and update the frontend FolderPickerModal
to prevent navigating above the configured browse root.
Closes#567
- Remove author insights and duplicate suggestions panels, composables, DTOs, and all backend support
- Add genre and tag duplicate detection, merge, and dismiss with server-side paginated scan results
- Consolidate per-entity-type tools into a single entity-manager module backed by the Strategy pattern
- Support browse, merge, rename, delete, split, and dismiss across all entity types (author, genre, tag, narrator, publisher, language, series)
- Replace old tools module with unified entity-manager controller, service, and repository; add 85+ unit tests
