# 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.**

# 🎯 CRITICAL: Series Identifier Standardization

## Overview

**Problem:** The codebase currently uses multiple identifiers inconsistently:

-   `key` (provider identifier, e.g., "attack-on-titan")
-   `folder` (filesystem folder name, e.g., "Attack on Titan (2013)")
-   `serie_id` (sometimes key, sometimes folder)
-   `serie_folder` (filesystem path used as identifier)

**Solution:** Standardize on `key` as the single source of truth for all series identification.

**Benefits:**

-   Single, consistent identifier throughout the codebase
-   `key` is unique, provider-assigned, URL-safe
-   `folder` becomes metadata only (not used for lookups)
-   Clearer separation of concerns
-   Easier to maintain and debug

**Scope:** This affects core logic, services, API endpoints, frontend, WebSocket events, and tests.
