- Added _find_series_directory() to locate series without full rescan
- Added _scan_series_episodes() to scan only target series directory
- Modified _load_episodes() to use targeted scanning instead of anime_service.rescan()
- Added 15 comprehensive unit tests for optimization
- Performance improvement: <1s vs 30-60s for large libraries
- All tests passing (15 new tests + 14 existing background loader tests)
- Changed 'async for' to 'async with' for get_db_session()
- get_db_session() is @asynccontextmanager, requires async with not async for
- Created 5 comprehensive unit tests verifying the fix
- All tests pass, background loading now works correctly
- Add loading status fields to AnimeSeries model
- Create BackgroundLoaderService for async task processing
- Update POST /api/anime/add to return 202 Accepted immediately
- Add GET /api/anime/{key}/loading-status endpoint
- Integrate background loader with startup/shutdown lifecycle
- Create database migration script for loading status fields
- Add unit tests for BackgroundLoaderService (10 tests, all passing)
- Update AnimeSeriesService.create() to accept loading status fields
Architecture follows clean separation with no code duplication:
- BackgroundLoader orchestrates, doesn't reimplement
- Reuses existing AnimeService, NFOService, WebSocket patterns
- Database-backed status survives restarts
