Summary

Implements #60 Slice C from the Work identity design merged in #201, on top of Slice A (#202).

  • adds backend/work_projection.py as the compatibility read boundary;
  • adds legacy_work() and batched legacy_work_summary();
  • projects Work detail, Works/browse/recent, search/tag results, Folder, Person and Playlist Work summaries through the primary Manifestation/Asset;
  • adds the four approved additive identity fields:
    • primary_manifestation_id
    • primary_asset_id
    • manifestation_count
    • asset_count
  • keeps citation_manifestation_id internal;
  • routes BibTeX through citation_target() + citation_record(), while preserving origin-Version output byte-for-byte;
  • preserves exact Slice-A legacy spellings while the origin Manifestation remains primary, but correctly projects a future non-origin primary Version/File;
  • keeps same-transaction recent-item reads on their existing connection.

Reader families migrated

  • Work detail
  • Works summary/catalog
  • browse / Recent / Recently Added
  • ordered Work summaries and search
  • tag Work lists
  • Folder Work summaries
  • Person Work summaries
  • Playlist Work summaries
  • BibTeX/citation projection

Tests

Adds focused Slice-C coverage for:

  • legacy-column parity for the Slice-A origin Manifestation;
  • additive identity fields;
  • parity across existing reader families;
  • projection of a non-origin primary Manifestation/Asset;
  • byte-identical origin BibTeX output;
  • explicit citation_manifestation_id routing.

Existing Slice-A tests that intentionally asserted the identity fields were hidden are updated for the approved Slice-C response shape.

Scope

No schema migration. No write-authority change. No Slice B hashing. No Asset/Manifestation authority migration. No Version/File API or UI.

References #60, #179, #201, #202.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Work details and listings now show consistent information from the primary version and its associated file, including version and file counts.
    • Search and browsing use titles, abstracts, publisher details, and ordering from the primary version.
    • Credits reflect roles associated with the work or its primary version.
    • BibTeX citations use metadata and credits from the selected citation version, falling back to the primary version when needed.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Works without an associated file show unavailable file details without affecting other work information.
    • Citation generation returns an empty result when the work or citation version cannot be found.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Work-shaped reads now project primary Manifestation and Asset fields, IDs, and counts. Search, credits, thumbnails, and BibTeX use projected data. Multi-query reads use a shared snapshot.

Changes

Work Projection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Work-shaped projection
backend/work_projection.py, backend/work_identity.py, tests/test_work_projection.py, tests/test_work_identity.py
The projection module overlays primary Manifestation and Asset values on Work-shaped rows. It exposes primary IDs and counts, and omits the citation pointer. Tests cover legacy fields and non-origin primary data.
Projected Work readers
backend/db_manager.py, backend/server.py, tests/test_work_projection.py
Work readers and the thumbnail endpoint use projected fields. Multi-query detail reads use a shared snapshot. Effective credits include Work-scoped roles and roles for the selected primary Manifestation.
Search and browse metadata
backend/db_manager.py, tests/test_work_projection.py
Search matches primary Manifestation title, abstract, and publisher when available. Browse ordering uses the displayed title.
Citation-based BibTeX
backend/work_projection.py, backend/db_manager.py, tests/test_work_projection.py
BibTeX resolves a citation target and builds a projected record for that Manifestation. Credit selection is scoped to the citation Manifestation.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7cbc7

After changing a Work’s primary PDF, its thumbnail may still show the previous PDF. The cache identity should follow the selected source before merge.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7cbc7

The new projection has broad read-side reach. Existing file-access checks remain in place, but thumbnail caching may return an image from a previously selected PDF after the primary asset changes.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: A change of primary Asset can select a different PDF without changing the Work/page thumbnail cache key. If the newly selected PDF is no newer than the cached image, the endpoint can serve a thumbnail of the former primary PDF, including after that PDF is withdrawn.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The changed thumbnail behavior is reachable through the existing Work-ID endpoint for viewers permitted by the library-access gate. The evidence does not establish separate tenant or per-Asset permissions.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — If a Work switches primary PDFs while retaining its Work/page cache entry, a permitted thumbnail request can receive imagery from the former PDF when that entry's mtime is at least the new PDF's mtime. A production switch and resulting disclosure were not verified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The route still validates the projected file path as an exact managed-PDF identity and resolves it beneath the managed PDF directory. The projection does not itself remove those file-access controls.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The cache is named for Work ID and page, not Asset identity; source-PDF mtime is its reuse check.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bind thumbnail cache identity to the selected Asset, or invalidate the Work's cached thumbnails whenever its primary Asset changes; cover switches to an older-mtime PDF.

Centralize Work reads through Manifestation and Asset projections

✨ Enhancement 🐞 Bug fix 🧪 Tests 🕐 40+ Minutes

Grey Divider

AI Description

• Centralizes legacy Work reads through primary Manifestation and active Asset projections.
• Exposes four identity fields while keeping citation selection internal.
• Routes BibTeX citations explicitly and preserves origin-compatible output.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. SQL compatibility view
  • ➕ Could return projected fields in fewer database round trips.
  • ➕ Would expose a reusable database-level read model.
  • ➖ Conditional legacy-spelling preservation would produce complex SQL.
  • ➖ Citation selection requires a distinct explicit-Manifestation projection.
  • ➖ A view would tightly couple transitional compatibility behavior to schema design.
2. Endpoint-specific joins
  • ➕ Each reader could fetch only the exact fields it needs.
  • ➕ Projection behavior would remain visible beside each query.
  • ➖ Duplicates identity and fallback rules across many reader families.
  • ➖ Increases the risk of inconsistent response shapes during later authority slices.
  • ➖ Makes future Manifestation and Asset migrations substantially harder.

Recommendation: Keep the centralized Python compatibility boundary. Its batched lookup supports list readers, its explicit citation helpers handle a separate selection policy, and it localizes transitional legacy-preservation rules for future authority slices. A SQL view may become attractive once field authority stabilizes, but it is premature during this staged migration.

Later pass on 3001b6a (delta from 7713affe): one new finding.

Blocking

  1. _query_projected_works drops performance db_calls instrumentation — Work list/detail readers that used to go through execute_query (which calls record_db_call) now open a raw connection + BEGIN and never record. Unit CI fails: test_snapshot_has_safe_route_fields sees /api/works db_calls == 0. Same gap for playlist/folder/person readers rewritten the same way.

Prior bot findings (this tip)

Verified FIXED (already threaded by Fooftilly; not re-posted): snapshot/BEGIN consistency, credits(primary M), search/publisher on displayed metadata, browse ORDER BY effective title, primary-Asset thumbnail, bibtex citation credits.

CI note: Unit/API red on the instrumentation assert above; static/Sonar/CodeQL green; E2E shards still running.

Blocking correctness: publisher filtering still falls back to hidden legacy metadata

work_ids_matching_publisher() currently uses COALESCE(pm.publisher, works.publisher) in both publisher-match paths. That does not match the Slice-C projection semantics.

publisher is Manifestation-owned. Once a non-origin primary Manifestation is selected, the projected Work uses that Manifestation's publisher directly. If it is NULL, the displayed publisher is None; it must not silently inherit works.publisher.

Current inconsistent case:

  • legacy works.publisher = "Legacy Press"
  • selected non-origin primary Manifestation has publisher = NULL
  • projected Work displays no publisher
  • filtering for Legacy Press still returns the Work because of COALESCE

Use the same effective-value rule as the projection, e.g. CASE WHEN pm.id IS NOT NULL THEN pm.publisher ELSE works.publisher END, in both the substring and publisher-alias/equality branches.

Please add a regression test with a legacy publisher plus a non-origin primary Manifestation whose publisher is NULL, asserting that the projected publisher is None and filtering by the hidden legacy publisher does not return the Work.

Stop COALESCE-falling back to works.publisher when a primary
Manifestation row exists; match CASE WHEN pm.id IS NOT NULL THEN
pm.publisher ELSE works.publisher END in both substring and alias paths.

Addressed on tip cbe281a.

work_ids_matching_publisher() now uses CASE WHEN pm.id IS NOT NULL THEN pm.publisher ELSE works.publisher END in both the substring and alias/equality branches (no COALESCE fallback to hidden legacy publisher when a primary Manifestation exists).

Regression: test_publisher_filter_ignores_hidden_legacy_when_primary_null — legacy works.publisher = "Legacy Press" + non-origin primary with publisher=NULL → projected publisher is None; filter/search_works(..., publisher_filter=...) for Legacy Press does not return the Work — passed locally.

Blocking correctness: linked-person/author search still includes credits from non-primary Manifestations

The projection now correctly defines effective credits as credits(primary M) (Work-scoped roles plus roles scoped to the selected primary Manifestation), and get_person() was fixed to use that same scope. However, search candidate selection still reads all roles rows:

  • _search_works_linked_persons_substring()
  • work_ids_matching_author()

Neither query filters r.manifestation_id against w.primary_manifestation_id.

This is a valid data state, not a hypothetical one: role scope is stored per row and the design explicitly allows overriding role-scope defaults. A Person can therefore be credited only on a secondary/non-primary Manifestation.

In that case the current API becomes inconsistent:

  • the Work projection excludes that Person from linked_people / effective credits;
  • get_person(person_id)["works"] excludes the Work;
  • but searching the Person's name, or using author_filter, can still return the Work because the search queries see the hidden secondary-Version role.

Please apply the same effective-credit predicate used elsewhere, e.g. Work-scoped roles plus r.manifestation_id = w.primary_manifestation_id, to both linked-person search and author-filter role matching.

Add a regression with a Person/Author role scoped only to a non-primary Manifestation and assert that:

  • projected primary Work credits do not contain the Person;
  • get_person() does not list the Work;
  • linked-person search does not return the Work;
  • author_filter does not return the Work.

Work-scoped roles and roles on the selected primary Manifestation must continue to match.

Apply credits_scope_sql to linked-person substring search and
work_ids_matching_author role matching so secondary-Manifestation-only
credits cannot surface Works that projection and get_person exclude.

Addressed on tip (pushing now).

_search_works_linked_persons_substring() and work_ids_matching_author() (roles branch) now apply credits_scope_sql("w", "r") — Work-scoped ∪ primary-Manifestation roles only — matching projection / get_person.

Regression: test_author_search_excludes_non_primary_manifestation_roles — Person with Author only on a non-primary Manifestation is excluded from projected credits, get_person, linked-person search, and author_filter; Work-scoped Ada Lovelace still matches — passed locally.
