+
+### 6.4 Usage Examples
+
+**Using @transactional decorator:**
+
+```python
+from src.server.database.transaction import transactional
+
+@transactional()
+async def compound_operation(db: AsyncSession, data: dict):
+    # All operations commit together or rollback on error
+    series = await AnimeSeriesService.create(db, ...)
+    episode = await EpisodeService.create(db, series_id=series.id, ...)
+    return series, episode
+```
+
+**Using atomic() context manager:**
+
+```python
+from src.server.database.transaction import atomic
+
+async def some_function(db: AsyncSession):
+    async with atomic(db) as tx:
+        await operation1(db)
+        await operation2(db)
+        # Auto-commits on success, rolls back on exception
+```
+
+**Using savepoints for partial rollback:**
+
+```python
+async with atomic(db) as tx:
+    await outer_operation(db)
+
+    async with tx.savepoint() as sp:
+        await risky_operation(db)
+        if error_condition:
+            await sp.rollback()  # Only rollback nested ops
+
+    await final_operation(db)  # Still executes

-## 🔧 Current Task: Make MP4 Scanning Progress Visible in UI
+---
 
-### Problem Statement
+## Task: Add Database Transaction Support
 
-When users trigger a library rescan (via the "Rescan Library" button on the anime page), the MP4 file scanning happens silently in the background. Users only see a brief toast message, but there's no visual feedback showing:
+### Objective
 
-1. That scanning is actively happening
-2. How many files/directories have been scanned
-3. The progress through the scan operation
-4. When scanning is complete with results
+Implement proper transaction handling across all database write operations using SQLAlchemy's transaction support. This ensures data consistency and prevents partial writes during compound operations.
 
-Currently, the only indication is in server logs:
+### Background
 
-```
-INFO:     Starting directory rescan
-INFO:     Scanning for .mp4 files
+Currently, the application uses SQLAlchemy sessions with auto-commit behavior through the `get_db_session()` generator. While individual operations are atomic, compound operations (multiple writes) can result in partial commits if an error occurs mid-operation.
+
+### Requirements
+
+1. **All database write operations must be wrapped in explicit transactions**
+2. **Compound operations must be atomic** - either all writes succeed or all fail
+3. **Nested operations should use savepoints** for partial rollback capability
+4. **Existing functionality must not break** - backward compatible changes only
+5. **All tests must pass after implementation**
+
+---
+
+### Step 1: Create Transaction Utilities Module
+
+**File**: `src/server/database/transaction.py`
+
+Create a new module providing transaction management utilities:
+
+1. **`@transactional` decorator** - Wraps a function in a transaction boundary
+
+    - Accepts a session parameter or retrieves one via dependency injection
+    - Commits on success, rolls back on exception
+    - Re-raises exceptions after rollback
+    - Logs transaction start, commit, and rollback events
+
+2. **`TransactionContext` class** - Context manager for explicit transaction control
+
+    - Supports `with` statement usage
+    - Provides `savepoint()` method for nested transactions using `begin_nested()`
+    - Handles commit/rollback automatically
+
+3. **`atomic()` function** - Async context manager for async operations
+    - Same behavior as `TransactionContext` but for async code
+
+**Interface Requirements**:
+
+-   Decorator must work with both sync and async functions
+-   Must handle the case where session is already in a transaction
+-   Must support optional `propagation` parameter (REQUIRED, REQUIRES_NEW, NESTED)
+
+---
+
+### Step 2: Update Connection Module
+
+**File**: `src/server/database/connection.py`
+
+Modify the existing session management:
+
+1. Add `get_transactional_session()` generator that does NOT auto-commit
+2. Add `TransactionManager` class for manual transaction control
+3. Keep `get_db_session()` unchanged for backward compatibility
+4. Add session state inspection utilities (`is_in_transaction()`, `get_transaction_depth()`)
+
+---
+
+### Step 3: Wrap Service Layer Operations
+
+**File**: `src/server/database/service.py`
+
+Apply transaction handling to all compound write operations:
+
+**AnimeService**:
+
+-   `create_anime_with_episodes()` - if exists, wrap in transaction
+-   Any method that calls multiple repository methods
+
+**EpisodeService**:
+
+-   `bulk_update_episodes()` - if exists
+-   `mark_episodes_downloaded()` - if handles multiple episodes
+
+**DownloadQueueService**:
+
+-   `add_batch_to_queue()` - if exists
+-   `clear_and_repopulate()` - if exists
+-   Any method performing multiple writes
+
+**SessionService**:
+
+-   `rotate_session()` - delete old + create new must be atomic
+-   `cleanup_expired_sessions()` - bulk delete operation
+
+**Pattern to follow**:
+
+```python
+@transactional
+def compound_operation(self, session: Session, data: SomeModel) -> Result:
+    # Multiple write operations here
+    # All succeed or all fail
 ```
 
-### Desired Outcome
+---
 
-Users should see real-time progress in the UI during library scanning with:
+### Step 4: Update Queue Repository
 
-1. **Progress overlay** showing scan is active with a spinner animation
-2. **Live counters** showing directories scanned and files found
-3. **Current directory display** showing which folder is being scanned (truncated if too long)
-4. **Completion summary** showing total files found, directories scanned, and elapsed time
-5. **Auto-dismiss** the overlay after showing completion summary
+**File**: `src/server/services/queue_repository.py`
+
+Ensure atomic operations for:
+
+1. `save_item()` - check existence + insert/update must be atomic
+2. `remove_item()` - if involves multiple deletes
+3. `clear_all_items()` - bulk delete should be transactional
+4. `reorder_queue()` - multiple position updates must be atomic
+
+---
+
+### Step 5: Update API Endpoints
+
+**Files**: `src/server/api/anime.py`, `src/server/api/downloads.py`, `src/server/api/auth.py`
+
+Review and update endpoints that perform multiple database operations:
+
+1. Identify endpoints calling multiple service methods
+2. Wrap in transaction boundary at the endpoint level OR ensure services handle it
+3. Prefer service-level transactions over endpoint-level for reusability
+
+---
+
+### Step 6: Add Unit Tests
+
+**File**: `tests/unit/test_transactions.py`
+
+Create comprehensive tests:
+
+1. **Test successful transaction commit** - verify all changes persisted
+2. **Test rollback on exception** - verify no partial writes
+3. **Test nested transaction with savepoint** - verify partial rollback works
+4. **Test decorator with sync function**
+5. **Test decorator with async function**
+6. **Test context manager usage**
+7. **Test transaction propagation modes**
+
+**File**: `tests/unit/test_service_transactions.py`
+
+1. Test each service's compound operations for atomicity
+2. Mock exceptions mid-operation to verify rollback
+3. Verify no orphaned data after failed operations
+
+---
+
+### Step 7: Update Integration Tests
+
+**File**: `tests/integration/test_db_transactions.py`
+
+1. Test real database transaction behavior
+2. Test concurrent transaction handling
+3. Test transaction isolation levels if applicable
+
+---
+
+### Step 7: Update Dokumentation
+
+1. Check Docs folder and updated the needed files
+
+---
+
+### Implementation Notes
+
+-   **SQLAlchemy Pattern**: Use `session.begin_nested()` for savepoints
+-   **Error Handling**: Always log transaction failures with full context
+-   **Performance**: Transactions have overhead - don't wrap single operations unnecessarily
+-   **Testing**: Use `session.rollback()` in test fixtures to ensure clean state
 
 ### Files to Modify
 
-#### 1. `src/server/services/websocket_service.py`
-
-Add three new broadcast methods for scan events:
-
--   **broadcast_scan_started**: Notify clients that a scan has begun, include the root directory path
--   **broadcast_scan_progress**: Send periodic updates with directories scanned count, files found count, and current directory name
--   **broadcast_scan_completed**: Send final summary with total directories, total files, and elapsed time in seconds
-
-Follow the existing pattern used by `broadcast_download_progress` for message structure consistency.
-
-#### 2. `src/server/services/scanner_service.py`
-
-Modify the scanning logic to emit progress via WebSocket:
-
--   Inject `WebSocketService` dependency into the scanner service
--   At scan start, call `broadcast_scan_started`
--   During directory traversal, track directories scanned and files found
--   Every 10 directories (to avoid WebSocket spam), call `broadcast_scan_progress`
--   Track elapsed time using `time.time()`
--   At scan completion, call `broadcast_scan_completed` with summary statistics
--   Ensure the scan still works correctly even if WebSocket broadcast fails (wrap in try/except)
-
-#### 3. `src/server/static/css/style.css`
-
-Add styles for the scan progress overlay:
-
--   Full-screen semi-transparent overlay (z-index high enough to be on top)
--   Centered container with background matching theme (use CSS variables)
--   Spinner animation using CSS keyframes
--   Styling for current directory text (truncated with ellipsis)
--   Styling for statistics display
--   Success state styling for completion
--   Ensure it works in both light and dark mode themes
-
-#### 4. `src/server/static/js/anime.js`
-
-Add WebSocket message handlers and UI functions:
-
--   Handle `scan_started` message: Create and show progress overlay with spinner
--   Handle `scan_progress` message: Update directory count, file count, and current directory text
--   Handle `scan_completed` message: Show completion summary, then auto-remove overlay after 3 seconds
--   Ensure overlay is properly cleaned up if page navigates away
--   Update the existing rescan button handler to work with the new progress system
-
-### WebSocket Message Types
-
-Define three new message types following the existing project patterns:
-
-1. **scan_started**: type, directory path, timestamp
-2. **scan_progress**: type, directories_scanned, files_found, current_directory, timestamp
-3. **scan_completed**: type, total_directories, total_files, elapsed_seconds, timestamp
-
-### Implementation Steps
-
-1. First modify `websocket_service.py` to add the three new broadcast methods
-2. Add unit tests for the new WebSocket methods
-3. Modify `scanner_service.py` to use the new broadcast methods during scanning
-4. Add CSS styles to `style.css` for the progress overlay
-5. Update `anime.js` to handle the new WebSocket messages and display the UI
-6. Test the complete flow manually
-7. Verify all existing tests still pass
-
-### Testing Requirements
-
-**Unit Tests:**
-
--   Test each new WebSocket broadcast method
--   Test that scanner service calls WebSocket methods at appropriate times
--   Mock WebSocket service in scanner tests
-
-**Manual Testing:**
-
--   Start server and login
--   Navigate to anime page
--   Click "Rescan Library" button
--   Verify overlay appears immediately with spinner
--   Verify counters update during scan
--   Verify current directory updates
--   Verify completion summary appears
--   Verify overlay auto-dismisses after 3 seconds
--   Test in both light and dark mode
--   Verify no JavaScript console errors

--   Keep progress updates throttled to avoid overwhelming the WebSocket connection
--   Use existing CSS variables for colors to maintain theme consistency
--   Follow existing JavaScript patterns in the codebase
--   The scan functionality must continue to work even if WebSocket fails
