Plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript modules, with no build step. Hash routes
and relative URLs make it work under any path. The job list is polled:
every 2 seconds while a job runs, and less often otherwise.
Logins follow shelfmark: none, CWA accounts, or a reverse proxy header.
CWA accounts are checked against the OPDS feed, with a lockout after
repeated wrong passwords. An API key works in every mode, and changes
need an X-Requested-With header or the key. URL_BASE serves the app
under a path prefix.
Jobs download new chapters, recheck chapters, replace the book, update
metadata or rebuild from stored chapters. Locked metadata fields keep
their values. A scheduler queues updates. An update finds the library
book of a story through CWA, and fails with an error if it cannot, so
that it never makes a duplicate book.
Bindery mounts no CWA database. It searches the OPDS feed by title and
reads the story URL inside each candidate epub to find the library book.
Updates go to the ingest folder with a .cwa.json sidecar, so CWA replaces
the epub of the existing book.
FanFicFare adapters fetch metadata and chapters, and its epub writer
builds each book from the store. Environment variables configure the
app, and a default personal.ini is copied to the config folder on first
start.
The SQLite store keeps every chapter revision, so a chapter that the site
removes stays in the book. The merge puts new chapters after the chapter
that comes before them on the site. Diffs compare text, not HTML, and
replacement rules run on chapter HTML when a book is built.
