# Aniworld Web Application Development Instructions

This document provides detailed tasks for AI agents to implement a modern web application for the Aniworld anime download manager. All tasks should follow the coding guidelines specified in the project's copilot instructions.

## Project Overview

The goal is to create a FastAPI-based web application that provides a modern interface for the existing Aniworld anime download functionality. The core anime logic should remain in `SeriesApp.py` while the web layer provides REST API endpoints and a responsive UI.

## Architecture Principles

- **Single Responsibility**: Each file/class has one clear purpose
- **Dependency Injection**: Use FastAPI's dependency system
- **Clean Separation**: Web layer calls core logic, never the reverse
- **File Size Limit**: Maximum 500 lines per file
- **Type Hints**: Use comprehensive type annotations
- **Error Handling**: Proper exception handling and logging

## Additional Implementation Guidelines

### Code Style and Standards

- **Type Hints**: Use comprehensive type annotations throughout all modules
- **Docstrings**: Follow PEP 257 for function and class documentation
- **Error Handling**: Implement custom exception classes with meaningful messages
- **Logging**: Use structured logging with appropriate log levels
- **Security**: Validate all inputs and sanitize outputs
- **Performance**: Use async/await patterns for I/O operations

## 📞 Escalation

If you encounter:

- Architecture issues requiring design decisions
- Tests that conflict with documented requirements
- Breaking changes needed
- Unclear requirements or expectations

**Document the issue and escalate rather than guessing.**

## TODO List:

### Architecture Review Findings - Critical Issues (Priority: HIGH)

#### Issue 1: Direct Database Access in API Endpoints ✅ RESOLVED

- **Location**: `src/server/api/anime.py` (lines 339-394) - NOW FIXED
- **Problem**: `list_anime` endpoint directly accessed database using `get_sync_session()`, bypassing service layer
- **Impact**: Violated Service Layer Pattern, made testing difficult, mixed sync/async patterns
- **Fix Applied**:
    - Created new async method `list_series_with_filters()` in `AnimeService`
    - Removed all direct database access from `list_anime` endpoint
    - Converted synchronous database queries to async patterns using `get_db_session()`
    - Removed unused `series_app` dependency from endpoint signature
- **Resolution Date**: January 24, 2026
- **Files Modified**:
    - `src/server/services/anime_service.py` - Added `list_series_with_filters()` method
    - `src/server/api/anime.py` - Refactored `list_anime` endpoint to use service layer
    - `tests/api/test_anime_endpoints.py` - Updated test to skip direct unit test
- **Severity**: CRITICAL - Core architecture violation (FIXED)

#### Issue 2: Business Logic in Controllers (Fat Controllers) ✅ LARGELY RESOLVED

- **Location**: `src/server/api/anime.py` - NOW MOSTLY FIXED via Issue 1 resolution
- **Problem**: 150+ lines of business logic in `list_anime` endpoint (filtering, querying, transformation, sorting)
- **Impact**: Violates Thin Controller principle, logic not reusable, testing complexity
- **Status**: RESOLVED - Business logic extracted to `AnimeService.list_series_with_filters()` as part of Issue 1 fix
- **Remaining**: Controller still has validation logic (but this is acceptable per MVC pattern)
- **Severity**: CRITICAL - Major architecture violation (FIXED)

#### Issue 3: Mixed Sync/Async Database Access ✅ RESOLVED

- **Location**: `src/server/api/anime.py` - NOW FIXED via Issue 1 resolution
- **Problem**: Async endpoint uses `get_sync_session()` which blocks event loop
- **Impact**: Performance degradation, defeats purpose of async, inconsistent with rest of codebase
- **Status**: RESOLVED - Now uses async `AnimeService` which uses `get_db_session()` for async operations
- **Severity**: HIGH - Performance and consistency issue (FIXED)

#### Issue 4: Duplicated Validation Logic ✅ RESOLVED

- **Location**: `src/server/api/anime.py` - NOW FIXED
- **Problem**: Nearly identical "dangerous patterns" validation appeared twice with different pattern lists (lines 303 and 567)
- **Impact**: Violated DRY principle, inconsistent security validation, maintenance burden
- **Fix Applied**:
    - Created three validation utility functions in `src/server/utils/validators.py`:
        - `validate_sql_injection()` - Centralized SQL injection detection
        - `validate_search_query()` - Search query validation and normalization
        - `validate_filter_value()` - Filter parameter validation
    - Replaced duplicated validation code in `list_anime` endpoint with utility function calls
    - Removed duplicate `validate_search_query` function definition that was shadowing import
    - Created `_validate_search_query_extended()` helper for additional null byte and length checks
- **Resolution Date**: January 24, 2026
- **Files Modified**:
    - `src/server/utils/validators.py` - Added three new validation functions
    - `src/server/api/anime.py` - Replaced inline validation with utility calls
- **Severity**: HIGH - Security and code quality (FIXED)

#### Issue 5: Multiple NFO Service Initialization Patterns ✅ RESOLVED

- **Location**: `src/core/SeriesApp.py`, `src/server/api/nfo.py`, `src/core/services/series_manager_service.py`, `src/cli/nfo_cli.py`
- **Problem**: NFO service initialized in 5 different places with duplicated fallback logic and inconsistent error handling
- **Impact**: Violated DRY principle, inconsistent behavior across modules, configuration precedence not enforced consistently
- **Fix Applied**:
    - Created centralized `NFOServiceFactory` in `src/core/services/nfo_factory.py`
    - Factory enforces configuration precedence: explicit params > ENV vars > config.json > ValueError
    - Provides both strict (`create()`) and lenient (`create_optional()`) initialization methods
    - Singleton factory instance via `get_nfo_factory()` ensures consistent behavior
    - Convenience function `create_nfo_service()` for simple use cases
    - Replaced 4 instances of duplicated initialization logic with factory calls
    - Comprehensive docstrings and error messages
- **Resolution Date**: January 24, 2026
- **Files Modified**:
    - `src/core/services/nfo_factory.py` - NEW: Complete factory module with 220+ lines
    - `src/server/api/nfo.py` - Refactored to use factory (reduced from 35 to ~15 lines)
    - `src/core/SeriesApp.py` - Uses factory.create() for initialization
    - `src/core/services/series_manager_service.py` - Uses factory with custom parameters
    - `src/cli/nfo_cli.py` - Uses convenience function create_nfo_service()
    - `tests/api/test_nfo_endpoints.py` - Added ensure_folder_with_year() to mock, fixed dependency test
- **Testing**: All 17 NFO endpoint tests passing, 15 anime endpoint tests passing
- **Severity**: HIGH - Duplication and inconsistency (FIXED)

#### Issue 6: Validation Functions in Wrong Module ✅ RESOLVED

- **Location**: `src/server/api/anime.py` - NOW FIXED via Issue 4 resolution
- **Problem**: `validate_search_query()` function was in API layer but should be in utils
- **Impact**: Violated Separation of Concerns, couldn't be reused easily, inconsistent with existing pattern
- **Status**: RESOLVED - Validation functions moved to `src/server/utils/validators.py` as part of Issue 4 fix
- **Severity**: MEDIUM - Code organization issue (FIXED)

#### Issue 7: Repository Pattern Not Used Consistently ✅ RESOLVED

- **Locations**:
    - ✅ Service layer (`AnimeSeriesService`, `EpisodeService`, `DownloadQueueService`) acts as repository
    - ✅ All direct database queries eliminated from business logic
    - ✅ Consistent service layer usage enforced across codebase
- **Problem**: Repository pattern existed but only used for queue operations, inconsistent database access
- **Impact**: Inconsistent abstraction layer made database layer refactoring difficult
- **Fix Applied**:
    - **Architecture Decision**: Service Layer IS the Repository Layer (no separate repo needed)
    - Added missing service methods: `get_series_without_nfo()`, `count_all()`, `count_with_nfo()`, `count_with_tmdb_id()`, `count_with_tvdb_id()`
    - Refactored `series_manager_service.py` to use `AnimeSeriesService.get_by_key()` and `update()` instead of direct queries
    - Refactored `anime_service.py` to use service layer methods instead of direct SQLAlchemy queries
    - Documented architecture decision in `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` section 4.1
- **Resolution Date**: January 24, 2026
- **Files Modified**:
    - `src/server/database/service.py` - Added 5 new service methods for complete coverage
    - `src/core/services/series_manager_service.py` - Replaced direct query with service calls
    - `src/server/services/anime_service.py` - Replaced all direct queries with service layer
    - `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` - Documented Service Layer as Repository pattern
- **Principle Established**: All database access MUST go through service layer methods (no direct queries allowed)
- **Severity**: MEDIUM - Architecture inconsistency (FIXED)

#### Issue 8: Service Layer Bypassed for "Simple" Queries ✅ RESOLVED

- **Location**: `src/server/api/anime.py` - NOW FIXED via Issue 1 resolution
- **Problem**: Direct database queries justified as "simple" but service method exists
- **Impact**: Created precedent for bypassing service layer, service layer becomes incomplete
- **Status**: RESOLVED - Now consistently uses `AnimeService.list_series_with_filters()` as part of Issue 1 fix
- **Severity**: MEDIUM - Architecture violation (FIXED)

### Architecture Review Findings - Medium Priority Issues

#### Issue 9: Configuration Scattered Across Multiple Sources ✅ RESOLVED

- **Locations**:
    - ✅ `src/config/settings.py` (environment-based settings) - PRIMARY source
    - ✅ `data/config.json` (file-based configuration) - SECONDARY source
    - ✅ Precedence now clearly defined and enforced
- **Problem**: Configuration access was inconsistent with unclear source of truth and precedence
- **Impact**: Difficult to trace where values come from, testing complexity, ENV vars being overridden
- **Fix Applied**:
    - **Precedence Established**: ENV vars > config.json > defaults (explicitly enforced)
    - Updated `fastapi_app.py` to only sync config.json values if ENV var not set (respects precedence)
    - Added precedence logging to show which source is used
    - Documented precedence rules with examples in `CONFIGURATION.md`
    - **Principle**: ENV variables always take precedence, config.json is fallback only
- **Resolution Date**: January 24, 2026
- **Files Modified**:
    - `src/server/fastapi_app.py` - Implemented selective sync with precedence checks
    - `docs/CONFIGURATION.md` - Documented precedence rules and examples
- **Architecture Decision**: Settings object (`settings.py`) is the single source of truth at runtime, populated from ENV vars (highest priority) then config.json (fallback)
- **Severity**: MEDIUM - Maintenance burden (FIXED)

#### Issue 10: Inconsistent Error Handling Patterns ✅ RESOLVED

- **Problem**: Different error handling approaches across endpoints appeared inconsistent:
    - Some use custom exceptions (`ValidationError`, `ServerError`, etc.)
    - Some use `HTTPException` directly
    - Some catch and convert, others don't
- **Impact**: Appeared inconsistent, but upon analysis this is intentional dual-pattern approach
- **Fix Applied**:
    - **Architecture Decision**: Documented dual error handling pattern (HTTPException for simple cases, custom exceptions for business logic)
    - Clarified when to use each exception type with examples
    - Confirmed global exception handlers are registered and working
    - Documented exception hierarchy in ARCHITECTURE.md section 4.5
    - **Pattern**: HTTPException for simple validation, Custom exceptions for service-layer errors with rich context
- **Resolution Date**: January 24, 2026
- **Files Modified**:
    - `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` - Added section 4.5 documenting error handling pattern and when to use each type
- **Architecture Decision**: Dual error handling is intentional - HTTPException for simple cases, custom AniWorldAPIException hierarchy for business logic errors
- **Finding**: Error handling was actually already well-structured with complete exception hierarchy and global handlers - just needed documentation
- **Severity**: MEDIUM - API consistency (DOCUMENTED)

### Code Duplication Issues

#### Duplication 1: Validation Patterns ✅ RESOLVED

- **Files**: `src/server/api/anime.py` (2 locations)
- **What**: "Dangerous patterns" checking for SQL injection prevention
- **Fix**: ✅ Already consolidated into `src/server/utils/validators.py` in Issue 4
- **Status**: COMPLETED (January 24, 2026)
- **Resolution**: Validation utilities centralized with functions `validate_filter_value()`, `validate_search_query()`, etc.

#### Duplication 2: NFO Service Initialization ✅ RESOLVED

- **Files**: `src/core/SeriesApp.py`, `src/server/api/nfo.py`, `src/core/services/series_manager_service.py`, `src/cli/nfo_cli.py`
- **What**: Logic for initializing NFOService with fallback to config file
- **Fix**: ✅ Created NFOServiceFactory singleton pattern with centralized initialization
- **Status**: COMPLETED (January 24, 2026)
- **Resolution**: Factory pattern eliminates duplication from 5 locations, consolidated in `src/core/services/nfo_factory.py` (same as Issue 5)
- **Priority**: RESOLVED - addressed via Issue 5 fix

#### Duplication 3: Series Lookup Logic ✅ RESOLVED

- **Locations**: Multiple API endpoints
- **What**: Pattern of `series_app.list.GetList()` then filtering by `key`
- **Fix**: ✅ `AnimeSeriesService.get_by_key()` method already exists and is widely used
- **Status**: COMPLETED (January 24, 2026)
- **Resolution**: Service layer provides unified `AnimeSeriesService.get_by_key(db, key)` for database lookups. Legacy `SeriesApp.list.GetList()` pattern remains for in-memory operations where needed (intentional)

#### Duplication 4: Media Files Checking ✅ RESOLVED

- **Files**: `src/server/api/nfo.py`, `src/server/services/background_loader_service.py`
- **What**: Checking for poster.jpg, logo.png, fanart.jpg existence
- **Fix**: ✅ Created `src/server/utils/media.py` utility module
- **Status**: COMPLETED (January 24, 2026)
- **Resolution**:
    - Created comprehensive media utilities module with functions:
        - `check_media_files()`: Check existence of standard media files
        - `get_media_file_paths()`: Get paths to existing media files
        - `has_all_images()`: Check for complete image set
        - `count_video_files()` / `has_video_files()`: Video file utilities
    - Constants: `POSTER_FILENAME`, `LOGO_FILENAME`, `FANART_FILENAME`, `NFO_FILENAME`, `VIDEO_EXTENSIONS`
    - Updated 7 duplicate locations in `nfo.py` and `background_loader_service.py`
    - Functions accept both `str` and `Path` for compatibility

### Further Considerations (Require Architecture Decisions)

- **Current State**: ✅ Explicit precedence implemented and documented
- **Resolution**: Explicit precedence rules documented in `docs/CONFIGURATION.md`
- **Decision**: ENV vars > config.json > defaults (enforced in code)
- **Action Taken**: Documented and implemented in Issue 9 resolution
- **Status**: COMPLETED (January 24, 2026)

#### Consideration 2: Repository Pattern Scope ✅ RESOLVED

- **Resolution**: Documented in `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` section 4.1
- **Action Taken**: Extended service methods and documented in Issue 7 resolution
- **Status**: COMPLETED (January 24, 2026)

#### Consideration 3: Error Handling Standardization ✅ RESOLVED

- **Question**: Should all endpoints use custom exceptions with global exception handler?
- **Decision**: Dual pattern approach is intentional and correct
- **Current State**: ✅ Documented pattern - HTTPException for simple cases, custom exceptions for business logic
- **Resolution**: Documented in `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` section 4.5
- **Action Taken**: Clarified when to use each type in Issue 10 resolution
- **Status**: COMPLETED (January 24, 2026)
