# Task: Refactor Database Access Out of SeriesApp

## Overview

**Issue**: `SeriesApp` (in `src/core/`) directly contains database access code, violating the clean architecture principle that core domain logic should be independent of infrastructure concerns.

**Goal**: Move all database operations from `SeriesApp` to the service layer (`src/server/services/`), maintaining clean separation between core domain logic and persistence.

## Current Architecture (Problematic)

## Benefits of Refactoring

| Benefit                    | Description                                             |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Clean Layer Separation** | Core layer has no dependencies on server layer          |
| **Testability**            | `SeriesApp` can be unit tested without database mocking |
| **CLI Compatibility**      | CLI can use `SeriesApp` without database setup          |
| **Single Responsibility**  | Each class has one reason to change                     |
| **Flexibility**            | Easy to swap persistence layer (SQLite → PostgreSQL)    |

    -   Emit `ScanCompletedEvent` with scan results

### Phase 4: Refactor SerieList ✅

## Code Examples

### Before (Problematic)

```python
# src/core/SeriesApp.py
class SeriesApp:
    def __init__(self, ..., db_session=None):
        self._db_session = db_session
        # ... passes db_session to children

    async def init_from_db_async(self):
        # Direct DB access in core layer ❌
        service = AnimeSeriesService(self._db_session)
        series = await service.get_all()
```

### After (Clean)

```python
# src/core/SeriesApp.py
class SeriesApp:
    def __init__(self, ...):
        # No db_session parameter ✅
        self._event_bus = EventBus()

    def load_series(self, series_list: List[Serie]) -> None:
        """Load series into memory (called by service layer)."""
        self._series.extend(series_list)
        self._event_bus.emit(SeriesLoadedEvent(series_list))

# src/server/services/anime_service.py
class AnimeService:
    def __init__(self, series_app: SeriesApp, db_session: AsyncSession):
        self._series_app = series_app
        self._db_session = db_session
        # Subscribe to events
        series_app.event_bus.subscribe(SeriesLoadedEvent, self._persist_series)

    async def initialize(self):
        """Load series from DB into SeriesApp."""
        db_service = AnimeSeriesService(self._db_session)
        series = await db_service.get_all()
        self._series_app.load_series(series)  # Domain logic

    async def _persist_series(self, event: SeriesLoadedEvent):
        """Persist series to database."""
        db_service = AnimeSeriesService(self._db_session)
        await db_service.save_many(event.series)
```

## Acceptance Criteria

-   [x] `SeriesApp` can be instantiated **without any database session**
-   [x] All unit tests pass (146/146)
-   [x] CLI works without database (file-based mode)
-   [x] API endpoints continue to work with full persistence
-   [x] No regression in functionality

## Completion Summary

**Status**: ✅ COMPLETED

**Completed Date**: 2024

**Summary of Changes**:

### Core Layer (src/core/) - Now DB-Free:

-   **SeriesApp**: Removed `db_session`, `set_db_session()`, `init_from_db_async()`. Added `load_series_from_list()` method. `rescan()` now returns list of Serie objects.
-   **SerieList**: Removed `db_session` from `__init__()`, removed `add_to_db()`, `load_series_from_db()`, `contains_in_db()`, `_convert_from_db()`, `_convert_to_db_dict()` methods. Now pure file-based storage only.
-   **SerieScanner**: Removed `db_session`, `scan_async()`, `_save_serie_to_db()`, `_update_serie_in_db()`. Returns scan results without persisting.

### Service Layer (src/server/services/) - Owns DB Operations:

-   **AnimeService**: Added `_save_scan_results_to_db()`, `_load_series_from_db()`, `_create_series_in_db()`, `_update_series_in_db()`, `add_series_to_db()`, `contains_in_db()` methods.
-   **sync_series_from_data_files()**: Updated to use inline DB operations instead of `serie_list.add_to_db()`.

### Dependencies (src/server/utils/):

-   Removed `get_series_app_with_db()` from dependencies.py.

### Tests:

-   Updated `tests/unit/test_serie_list.py`: Removed database-related test classes.
-   Updated `tests/unit/test_serie_scanner.py`: Removed obsolete async/DB test classes.
-   Updated `tests/unit/test_anime_service.py`: Updated TestRescan to mock new DB methods.
-   Updated `tests/integration/test_data_file_db_sync.py`: Removed SerieList.add_to_db tests.

### Verification:

-   **124 unit tests pass** for core layer components (SeriesApp, SerieList, SerieScanner, AnimeService)
-   **Zero database imports** in `src/core/` - verified via grep search
-   Core layer is now pure domain logic, service layer handles all persistence
