Admins can now generate TTS audiobooks chapter-by-chapter and publish
them as standard RSS 2.0 + iTunes podcast feeds that Spotify, Apple
Podcasts, and any podcast app can subscribe to.
Backend:
- POST /api/admin/podcast — creates ai_job (kind=podcast), spawns
goroutine that generates TTS for missing chapters and writes to MinIO
- GET /podcast/{slug}.xml?voice=<id> — public RSS feed with correct
pubDate (from chapters_idx.created) and enclosure length (MinIO stat)
- GET /podcast/audio/{slug}/{n}/{voice} — public audio proxy, 302 to
presigned MinIO URL (no auth required for podcast clients)
- GET /api/admin/podcast/{slug} — list podcast jobs for a book
- Add AudioObjectSize to AudioStore interface backed by MinIO StatObject
- Populate ChapterInfo.Date from chapters_idx.created in ListChapters
UI:
- New /admin/podcast page: book + voice selector, chapter range, live
progress bars, copy-feed-URL button, cancel button, how-to instructions
- /api/admin/podcast SvelteKit proxy (injects admin Bearer token)
- Podcast link added to admin sidebar
Cleanup:
- Delete stray playwright screenshot files from repo root
- Add .playwright-mcp/ to .gitignore

- Homepage hero: wider cover (w-32→w-36), adjusted info panel height,
hide genre pills on mobile (they wrap and waste vertical space)
- Chapter reader: tighten top nav gap mb-8→mb-4 and heading gap
mb-6→mb-4 on mobile so content starts earlier
- Library cards: hide genre tags on mobile (hidden sm:flex) — redundant
in a library context and cramped at 2-column density
- Book detail: reduce hero bottom margin mb-8→mb-5 on mobile
- Catalogue list view: fix hardcoded hover:border-zinc-500 → brand
color, matching the grid view hover style
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Discover loading skeleton: add borders and book icon placeholder so
card shapes are visible on all dark themes (was invisible on forest)
- Library grid cards: match catalogue hover style (brand border, surface
lift, shadow, -translate-y-0.5) and remove hardcoded zinc-500 border
- Reading progress bar: increase height 2px→3px and add brand glow shadow

- Lighten --color-muted from #6b9a77 to #a3c9a8 — prose body text and
secondary text were blending into the near-black green background
- Surface colors lifted slightly for card depth distinction
- Border color made more visible (#1e3a24 → #2c4e34)
- brand-dim updated to green-500 for slightly brighter hover states

- Catalogue/cover: rewrite raw scraped cover URLs to /api/cover/{domain}/{slug}
in handleCatalogue so all covers route through the backend proxy; fix broken
cdn.novelfire.net fallback in handleGetCover to read stored URL from PocketBase
- Catalogue/profile: add Svelte 5 onerror handlers on cover <img> tags to show
letter-initial placeholder when image fails to load
- Library page: read ?status URL param to initialise activeShelf tab on load so
/books?status=reading correctly pre-selects the Reading tab
- Sessions: filter bot/tool user-agents (curl, python, wget, etc.) and debug-IP
sessions from listUserSessions display; also purge them in pruneStaleUserSessions
- Profile: show email under username, quick stats chips (streak/chapters/completed)
in header, reading count on Library row, dedicated Sign out row, history covers
routed through /api/cover proxy

Content visibility:
- Add `visibility` field to books ("public" | "admin_only"); new migration
backfills all existing scraped books to admin_only
- Meilisearch: add visibility as filterable attribute; catalogue/search
endpoints filter to public-only for non-admin requests
- Admin users identified by bearer token bypass the filter and see all books
- All PocketBase discovery queries (trending, recommended, recently-updated,
audio shelf, discover, subscription feed) now filter to visibility=public
- New scraped books default to admin_only; WriteMetadata preserves existing
visibility on PATCH (never overwrites)
Author submission:
- POST /api/admin/books/submit — creates a public book with submitted_by
- PATCH /api/admin/books/{slug}/publish / unpublish — toggle visibility
- SvelteKit proxies: /api/admin/books/[slug]/publish|unpublish
- /api/books/[slug] endpoint for admin book lookup
Frontend:
- backendFetchAdmin() helper sends admin token on any path
- Catalogue server load uses admin fetch when user is admin
- /submit page: author submission form with genre picker and rights assertion
- "Publish" nav link shown to all logged-in users
- Admin catalogue-tools: visibility management panel (load book by slug, toggle)

- Remove UI build artifact upload/download steps (18 lines removed)
- Remove .dockerignore manipulation workaround
- Always build UI from source inside Docker (more reliable)
- Remove PREBUILT arg from ui/Dockerfile and docker-bake.hcl
This fixes the '/app/build not found' error in CI by eliminating the fragile
artifact-passing mechanism. UI now builds fresh in Docker using build cache,
same as local development.
Adds BACKEND_ADMIN_TOKEN env var (set in Doppler) as a required Bearer
token for every admin route. Also fixes PocketBase filter injection in
notification queries and wires BACKEND_ADMIN_TOKEN through docker-compose
to both backend and ui services. Includes CLAUDE.md for AI assistant guidance.

Translation content is immutable once generated — add Cache-Control: public,
max-age=3600, stale-while-revalidate=86400 to handleTranslationRead so the
browser and any CDN reuse the response without hitting MinIO on repeat views.
Forward the header through the SvelteKit /api/translation/[slug]/[n] proxy
which previously stripped it by constructing a bare Content-Type-only Response.
Three bugs:
1. +page.server.ts returned an unawaited Promise — SvelteKit awaits it on
the server anyway so data.jobs arrived as a plain AIJob[] on the client,
not a Promise. The $effect calling .then() on an array silently failed,
leaving jobs=[] and the table empty. Fixed by awaiting in the load fn.
2. +page.svelte $effect updated to assign data.jobs directly (plain array)
instead of calling .then() on it.
3. handlers_textgen.go: final UpdateAIJob (payload+status write) used
r.Context() which is cancelled when the SSE client disconnects. If the
browser navigated away mid-job, results were silently dropped and the
payload stayed as the initial {pattern} stub with no results array.
Fixed by using context.Background() for the final write, matching the
pattern already used in handlers_image.go.
The {#await ... then} + {@const} IIFE pattern for assigning to $state
variables stopped working reliably in Svelte 5.53+. Replaced with a
proper $effect that awaits both streamed promises and assigns to state,
which correctly triggers reactivity.
Also: switch library page selection mode entry from long-press to a
'Select' button in the page header.
Three compounding issues caused the 4+ second load:
1. getAllRatings() ran sequentially after the first Promise.all group,
adding it unnecessarily to the critical path. Now runs in parallel
with listBooks/getVotedSlugs/getSavedSlugs (all 4 concurrent).
2. discovery_votes was fetched twice on every page load — once inside
getBooksForDiscovery (via getVotedSlugs) and again by getVotedBooks.
Fixed by caching getVotedSlugs results with a 30s TTL so the second
call hits cache instead of PocketBase.
3. getVotedSlugs and getSavedSlugs were always uncached, hitting
PocketBase on every navigation. Added short-TTL per-user Valkey
cache entries (voted: 30s, saved: 60s). Cache is invalidated
immediately after each write (upsertDiscoveryVote, clearDiscoveryVotes,
undoDiscoveryVote, saveBook) so stale data is never served.
Removed the custom clear button (shown when query is non-empty) and
suppressed the browser-native webkit search cancel button via CSS.
Only the single Cancel button remains, avoiding the double/triple X
clutter on wider screens.
The wrapper div in +layout.svelte had pointer-events:none which blocked
all taps inside ListeningMode (chapter rows, buttons, scrolling). Removed
the wrapper div and moved the fly transition onto ListeningMode's own root
element so the slide-in animation works without stealing pointer events.
- Add notify_new_chapters_push field to AppUser, PATCH /api/profile, and profile loader
- Fix bell panel to reload notifications on every open (not just once on mount)
- Replace flat in-app + push toggles with structured category table (Category | In-app | Push)
- Add browser push master subscribe/unsubscribe row above the table
- Push column toggle disabled until browser is subscribed; shows — when unsupported/denied
- Update Notifications row hint to summarise active channels (In-app · Push / Off)
- getReadyChaptersForSlug(slug, preferredVoice) in pocketbase.ts: per-slug done jobs map, cached 60s, prefers user's voice
- GET /api/audio/chapters?slug=&voice= endpoint
- Chapter list (/books/[slug]/chapters): amber headphones icon on ready rows, play button for instant listen, banner showing ready count
- Chapter reader: audioReady + availableVoice from server load; 'Audio ready — Listen now' banner shown when audio exists and player is not yet active; sets voice preference before expanding player
- getBooksWithAudioCount() in pocketbase.ts aggregates done audio_jobs, deduplicates by chapter per slug, caches 5 min
- GET /api/audio/books endpoint
- home page: readyToListen shelf with headphones badge, chapter count, Listen button, hideable
- /listen page: full grid with search, sort (most narrated / A-Z / recent), empty state
Float mode was broken because AudioPlayer was unmounted the moment
audioStore.active became true — exactly when the float overlay needs
to render. Fix: keep AudioPlayer mounted in float and minimal modes
regardless of audioStore.active; only standard mode shows the
'Controls below' message.
Adds a third 'minimal' style: a compact single-row bar (skip ±,
play/pause, seek, time) with no voice picker or chapter browser.
Voice picker and chapter button are hidden in the idle pill too.
Settings UI updated to show all three options with a live
description of what each style does.
Up/down chevron buttons fixed to the bottom-right of the viewport.
At the top of the chapter the up button becomes a Prev chapter link;
at the bottom the down button becomes an amber Next chapter link.
Hidden in focus mode (uses its own pill). Lifts above the audio
mini-player when it is active.
- Replace bell dropdown with full-screen NotificationsModal (mirrors SearchModal pattern)
- Notifications visible to all logged-in users (not just admin)
- Admin users excluded from new-chapter fan-out (dedup vs Scrape Complete notification)
- Users with notify_new_chapters=false opted out of new-chapter in-app notifications
- Toggle in profile page to enable/disable in-app new-chapter notifications
- PATCH /api/profile endpoint to save notification preferences
- User-facing /notifications page (admin redirects to /admin/notifications)
- Service worker (src/service-worker.ts) handles push events and
notification clicks, navigating to the book page on tap
- Web app manifest (manifest.webmanifest) linked in app.html
- Profile page: push notification toggle (subscribe/unsubscribe)
using the browser Notification + PushManager API with VAPID
- API route POST/DELETE /api/push-subscription proxies to backend
- Go backend: push_subscriptions PocketBase collection storage
methods (SavePushSubscription, DeletePushSubscription,
ListPushSubscriptionsByBook) in storage/store.go
- handlers_push.go: GET vapid-public-key, POST/DELETE subscription
- webpush package: VAPID-signed sends via webpush-go, SendToBook
fans out to all users who have the book in their library
- Runner fires push to subscribers whenever ChaptersScraped > 0
after a successful book scrape
- Config: VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY, VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY, VAPID_SUBJECT env vars
- domain.ScrapeResult gets a Slug field; orchestrator populates it
Remove the TTS voice section from the profile page — it fetched
/api/voices on every mount, blocking paint for the full round-trip.
Voice selection lives on the chapter page where voices are already loaded.
Rewrite the server load to run avatar, sessions+stats, and reading history
all concurrently via Promise.allSettled instead of sequentially, cutting
SSR latency by ~2-3x on the profile route.
