Description

  • Adds remember-me authentication to the Komga API security chain, matching how real
    Komga handles Komelia logins. Previously the chain was fully stateless and never
    issued a cookie, so Komelia's post-login request for libraries (sent with no
    credentials) got a 401 and showed "invalid credentials" even though login worked.

  • This change issues a signed komga-remember-me cookie on login and enables session
    support (JSESSIONID), so Komelia can talk to the API using cookies alone.

Linked Issue

Refs #164 — implements the "Remember Me" authentication cookies checklist item.

Changes

  • New KomgaSettings DTO with a random rememberMeKey generated on first boot and
    persisted via the existing KOMGA_SETTINGS key, so it stays stable across restarts.
  • New komgaRememberMeServices bean (TokenBasedRememberMeServices) in the Komga
    chain, cookie name komga-remember-me (matches real Komga and Komelia's client).
  • Komga chain session policy changed from STATELESS to IF_REQUIRED, so the
    remember-me login creates a JSESSIONID that Komelia replays. Basic auth
    (Tachiyomi/OPDS) is unchanged.
  • Wired the new settings into SettingPersistenceHelper and AppSettingService.
  • 3 new tests in AppSettingServiceTest (defaults persisted, persisted values read
    back, unique key generation).

Manual Testing Steps

Tested against a live instance on localhost:6060 with tcpdump on port 6060:

  1. Login: GET /komga/api/v2/users/me?remember-me=true with Basic auth → 200 with
    Set-Cookie: komga-remember-me=... and Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=...
  2. Libraries: GET /komga/api/v1/libraries with only those cookies (no Basic) → 200
  3. Basic auth alone → still 200 (no regression)
  4. No auth at all → 401 (still protected)
  5. Full backend suite passes via `just api check

Screenshots (Optional)

Additional Context (Optional)

  • A separate schema issue remains on the library endpoint: the response is missing
    scanDirectoryExclusions and oneshotsDirectory, which Komelia's KomgaLibrary
    DTO requires (JsonConvertException). That's a different fix, not part of this auth
    change.
  • The remember-me key is random per install on first boot; admins can override it
    via the settings API.

AI Disclosure

Omniroute helped with the implementation, analyzing Komelia's client source, and the settings wiring. I reviewed and verified all code, tests, and the tcpdump evidence myself.

Learning: When using Spring `ContentDisposition.builder(...).filename(name, StandardCharsets.UTF_8).build()` (i.e., explicitly providing UTF-8), the resulting header value should include both the quoted `filename="=?UTF-8?..."` and the RFC 5987 `filename*=` parameters. In this case, any extra ASCII fallback computation (e.g., deriving an ASCII `fallbackFilename` via `NON_ASCII_PATTERN` and calling `.filename(fallbackFilename)`) is likely redundant—prefer calling only `.filename(fallbackName?, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)` as appropriate and let Spring handle the UTF-8 header parameters. Verify by comparing the emitted header for `filename` and `filename*` before deciding to keep an ASCII fallback.

Learning: For this codebase (booklore-api), target Java 25 with `--enable-preview`, so `_` is intentionally used as an unnamed/ignored variable (e.g., lambda parameter or pattern variable) per Java’s preview feature JEP 456. Do not flag `_` in those contexts as an invalid/reserved identifier; only flag it if it’s used in a non-supported position (e.g., where an unnamed variable is not applicable for the Java preview rules).

Learning: When reviewing Java 23+ code, treat `java.time.Instant#until(Instant endExclusive)` as a valid API/method call (it returns a `Duration`, equivalent to `Duration.between(this, endExclusive)`). Do not flag `instant.until(otherInstant)` as a compile error or API misuse when the project targets Java 25+ (as in grimmory-tools/grimmory); the call should be considered correct and returns a `Duration`.

Although records may be a preferred guideline in general, the team is intentionally avoiding new `record` DTOs right now due to low existing adoption—so class-based DTOs should not be flagged solely for not being records.

Learning: For this repository, reviewers should treat string truncation done via `String.length()` and `String.substring(0, maxLength)` (UTF-16 code units) as an accepted, consistent convention. Do not flag individual occurrences of this pattern as bugs, even though it is not code-point-aware for surrogate pairs. A separate global effort is already tracked to move toward code-point-aware truncation, so per-site fixes should be avoided during code review.

Learning: In this repo’s Java code, when catching Jsoup `org.jsoup.HttpStatusException` (and similar exceptions originating from external libraries) and wrapping/rethrowing them, do not require preserving the original exception stack trace (e.g., as flagged by PMD `PreserveStackTrace`) as long as the application already captures the actionable diagnostics in logs or the thrown exception message (such as HTTP status code and the requested URL). Reviewers should still ensure the log/message contains those details; the intent is to avoid noisy stack traces that only reflect external-library internals rather than application code.

During code review, do not raise a security/information-disclosure issue solely based on that exception message being propagated to the API when using ApiError.PERMISSION_DENIED.createException with the AccessDeniedException message.

During reviews, do not flag missing builder-level timeouts as a best-practice violation; rely on framework-level and/or HttpClient-level timeouts configured elsewhere for consistent behavior. Only raise an issue if you can verify that no effective timeout is configured at the HttpClient/framework level.

Learning: In this codebase (grimmory-tools/grimmory), reviews should not treat inline `LIMIT`/`OFFSET` clauses inside `Query` JPQL/HQL strings as a JPA compliance risk. This is intentional: `hibernate.jpa.compliance.query=true` is intentionally not set, and Hibernate 7.3+ supports `LIMIT`/`OFFSET` as valid HQL extensions. Therefore, do not flag or require changes to `Query` annotations solely due to `LIMIT`/`OFFSET` usage.

Learning: In grimmory-tools/grimmory service-layer code, if arithmetic overflow occurs inside inference/business-logic (e.g., when deriving inferred fields like durationSeconds from start/end timestamps), treat it as a server-side anomaly. Prefer letting the global exception handler translate it into a generic 5xx response rather than throwing an explicit ApiError 4xx (e.g., do not convert overflow into a client error).

Learning: In this repository’s JUnit 5 test sources (e.g., under backend/src/test/java/), do not flag “bare” `assert` statements as a bug. The project test runner is configured to always execute tests with assertions enabled (e.g., `-ea`), so `assert` behavior is consistent. Continue to review for correctness, but don’t treat unguarded `assert` usage in test classes as a static-analysis issue.

Learning: In backend unit tests (Java files under backend/src/test/java), do not flag hardcoded placeholder filesystem paths (e.g., setting LibraryPathEntity.path = "/example") as violations when the value is intentionally unused for filesystem access. Only suppress the "no hardcoded paths" concern if the test does not perform any filesystem/network IO using that path (no reads/writes/Files.* calls or code paths that access the filesystem with that value); if the placeholder is actually used to touch the filesystem, flag it.

Learning: For the Komga API remember-me configuration in `backend/src/main/java/org/booklore/config/security/SecurityConfig.java`, cookie issuance must remain controlled by the `remember-me` request parameter. Komelia sends `?remember-me=true` and receives the `komga-remember-me` cookie. Tachiyomi does not send the parameter and must not receive a remember-me cookie. Do not configure `TokenBasedRememberMeServices.setAlwaysRemember(true)`, because this must match real Komga behavior.

Learning: In `booklore-api/src/main/java/org/booklore/service/kobo/KoboInitializationService.java` and `booklore-api/src/main/java/org/booklore/model/dto/settings/KoboSettings.java`, the `forwardToKoboStore` field defaults to `false`. This means existing server installs that upgrade will have Kobo Store forwarding/combined init behavior silently disabled. This is **intentional by design** (per imnotjames, PR `#337`) and is expected to be communicated via release notes rather than through a migration/backfill.

Learning: In grimmory-tools/grimmory, when null-edge-case coverage is flagged for test files, the team preference is to prevent null paths at the service/production-code boundary (e.g., null guards or NonNull contracts) rather than adding boilerplate null-edge tests. Do not insist on null-edge tests when the developer confirms the null scenario cannot occur and intends to enforce that invariant in production code.

Learning: When using Spring `ContentDisposition.builder(...).filename(name, StandardCharsets.UTF_8).build()` (i.e., explicitly providing UTF-8), the resulting header value should include both the quoted `filename="=?UTF-8?..."` and the RFC 5987 `filename*=` parameters. In this case, any extra ASCII fallback computation (e.g., deriving an ASCII `fallbackFilename` via `NON_ASCII_PATTERN` and calling `.filename(fallbackFilename)`) is likely redundant—prefer calling only `.filename(fallbackName?, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)` as appropriate and let Spring handle the UTF-8 header parameters. Verify by comparing the emitted header for `filename` and `filename*` before deciding to keep an ASCII fallback.

Do not flag `_` in those contexts as an invalid/reserved identifier; only flag it if it’s used in a non-supported position (e.g., where an unnamed variable is not applicable for the Java preview rules).

Do not flag `instant.until(otherInstant)` as a compile error or API misuse when the project targets Java 25+ (as in grimmory-tools/grimmory); the call should be considered correct and returns a `Duration`.

Learning: For this repository, reviewers should treat string truncation done via `String.length()` and `String.substring(0, maxLength)` (UTF-16 code units) as an accepted, consistent convention. Do not flag individual occurrences of this pattern as bugs, even though it is not code-point-aware for surrogate pairs. A separate global effort is already tracked to move toward code-point-aware truncation, so per-site fixes should be avoided during code review.

Learning: In this repo’s Java code, when catching Jsoup `org.jsoup.HttpStatusException` (and similar exceptions originating from external libraries) and wrapping/rethrowing them, do not require preserving the original exception stack trace (e.g., as flagged by PMD `PreserveStackTrace`) as long as the application already captures the actionable diagnostics in logs or the thrown exception message (such as HTTP status code and the requested URL). Reviewers should still ensure the log/message contains those details; the intent is to avoid noisy stack traces that only reflect external-library internals rather than application code.

Learning: In this repository’s JUnit 5 test sources (e.g., under backend/src/test/java/), do not flag “bare” `assert` statements as a bug. The project test runner is configured to always execute tests with assertions enabled (e.g., `-ea`), so `assert` behavior is consistent. Continue to review for correctness, but don’t treat unguarded `assert` usage in test classes as a static-analysis issue.

Learning: In backend unit tests (Java files under backend/src/test/java), do not flag hardcoded placeholder filesystem paths (e.g., setting LibraryPathEntity.path = "/example") as violations when the value is intentionally unused for filesystem access. Only suppress the "no hardcoded paths" concern if the test does not perform any filesystem/network IO using that path (no reads/writes/Files.* calls or code paths that access the filesystem with that value); if the placeholder is actually used to touch the filesystem, flag it.

  • src/content/docs/integration/opds.mdx:49-52,156 documents Komga/OPDS authentication exclusively as HTTP Basic Auth with OPDS credentials. The PR adds remember-me cookie authentication, so the docs should mention cookie-based session reuse while retaining Basic Auth.
  • src/content/docs/integration/opds.mdx:164-168 troubleshooting only covers credential-based authentication failures; it does not explain the new komga-remember-me cookie or cookie-only requests.
  • src/content/docs/integration/komga-api.mdx:46-49,61-78,392 similarly states that Komga requires OPDS credentials and lists Basic authentication as the supported mechanism. This is incomplete after the security-chain change.
  • No documentation references the new KomgaSettings, rememberMeKey, or rememberMeDurationInSeconds configuration.

252-252: Validate persisted Komga settings during loading.

Line 252 deserializes stored JSON without calling validateKomgaSettings. A legacy or manually modified komga_settings row such as {} can still create null fields before the security configuration consumes them. This repeats the previously reported loading-path issue.

…dation

  SettingRequest.value is bound as Object (Map), not KomgaSettings.
  validateKomgaSettings(val) rejected valid requests because val was a Map.
  Convert Map to KomgaSettings using ObjectMapper before calling updateSetting.

256-256: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major

Validate persisted Komga settings before exposing them.

Line 256 deserializes an existing komga_settings row and passes it directly to AppSettings. It does not call validateKomgaSettings. A partial row such as {"rememberMeKey":"persistedKey"} can produce a null duration. SecurityConfig.komgaRememberMeServices() then passes that value to setTokenValiditySeconds(int), which can fail application startup. Validate the loaded DTO, or replace invalid persisted data with a safe default, before assigning it to the builder. Add a malformed-row test.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
rg -n -C 12 'getJsonSetting|validateKomgaSettings|setTokenValiditySeconds|komgaRememberMeServices' \
  backend/src/main/java backend/src/test/java

This impact follows from the supplied KomgaSettings.java and SecurityConfig.java consumer snippets.

Learning: In `booklore-api/src/main/java/org/booklore/service/kobo/KoboInitializationService.java` and `booklore-api/src/main/java/org/booklore/model/dto/settings/KoboSettings.java`, the `forwardToKoboStore` field defaults to `false`. This means existing server installs that upgrade will have Kobo Store forwarding/combined init behavior silently disabled. This is **intentional by design** (per imnotjames, PR `#337`) and is expected to be communicated via release notes rather than through a migration/backfill.

Learning: In grimmory-tools/grimmory, when null-edge-case coverage is flagged for test files, the team preference is to prevent null paths at the service/production-code boundary (e.g., null guards or NonNull contracts) rather than adding boilerplate null-edge tests. Do not insist on null-edge tests when the developer confirms the null scenario cannot occur and intends to enforce that invariant in production code.

Learning: In `grimmory-tools/grimmory`, CBX reader settings (including `CbxPageViewMode`, `CbxPageSplitOption`, `CbxScrollMode`, etc.) are stored as a raw JSON string blob in the `user_settings` table under a setting key (e.g., `CBX_READER_SETTING`). The backend does not deserialize these values into typed Java enum instances, so adding new frontend enum values (e.g., `TWO_PAGE_REVERSED`, `CbxPageSplitOption` members) does NOT cause Jackson `InvalidFormatException` errors. Do not flag frontend-only enum additions as backend serialization issues for these settings.

Learning: When using Spring `ContentDisposition.builder(...).filename(name, StandardCharsets.UTF_8).build()` (i.e., explicitly providing UTF-8), the resulting header value should include both the quoted `filename="=?UTF-8?..."` and the RFC 5987 `filename*=` parameters. In this case, any extra ASCII fallback computation (e.g., deriving an ASCII `fallbackFilename` via `NON_ASCII_PATTERN` and calling `.filename(fallbackFilename)`) is likely redundant—prefer calling only `.filename(fallbackName?, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)` as appropriate and let Spring handle the UTF-8 header parameters. Verify by comparing the emitted header for `filename` and `filename*` before deciding to keep an ASCII fallback.

Do not flag individual occurrences of this pattern as bugs, even though it is not code-point-aware for surrogate pairs. A separate global effort is already tracked to move toward code-point-aware truncation, so per-site fixes should be avoided during code review.

Reviewers should still ensure the log/message contains those details; the intent is to avoid noisy stack traces that only reflect external-library internals rather than application code.

Learning: In this repository’s JUnit 5 test sources (e.g., under backend/src/test/java/), do not flag “bare” `assert` statements as a bug. The project test runner is configured to always execute tests with assertions enabled (e.g., `-ea`), so `assert` behavior is consistent. Continue to review for correctness, but don’t treat unguarded `assert` usage in test classes as a static-analysis issue.

Learning: In backend unit tests (Java files under backend/src/test/java), do not flag hardcoded placeholder filesystem paths (e.g., setting LibraryPathEntity.path = "/example") as violations when the value is intentionally unused for filesystem access. Only suppress the "no hardcoded paths" concern if the test does not perform any filesystem/network IO using that path (no reads/writes/Files.* calls or code paths that access the filesystem with that value); if the placeholder is actually used to touch the filesystem, flag it.

Learning: In grimmory-tools/grimmory unit/integration test classes (e.g., files matching **/*Test.java under backend/src/test/java/**), it is acceptable to directly instantiate Jackson mappers (e.g., `new ObjectMapper()` / `new JsonMapper(...)`) and this should NOT be flagged. The Jackson guidance to use Spring bean injection or `JsonMapper.shared()` applies only to production code; tests may construct dependencies directly as standard practice. Production-code mapper instantiation rules should still be enforced outside test sources.

Learning: For the Komga API remember-me configuration in `backend/src/main/java/org/booklore/config/security/SecurityConfig.java`, cookie issuance must remain controlled by the `remember-me` request parameter. Komelia sends `?remember-me=true` and receives the `komga-remember-me` cookie. Tachiyomi does not send the parameter and must not receive a remember-me cookie. Do not configure `TokenBasedRememberMeServices.setAlwaysRemember(true)`, because this must match real Komga behavior.

Learning: In `booklore-api/src/main/java/org/booklore/service/kobo/KoboInitializationService.java` and `booklore-api/src/main/java/org/booklore/model/dto/settings/KoboSettings.java`, the `forwardToKoboStore` field defaults to `false`. This means existing server installs that upgrade will have Kobo Store forwarding/combined init behavior silently disabled. This is **intentional by design** (per imnotjames, PR `#337`) and is expected to be communicated via release notes rather than through a migration/backfill.

Learning: In grimmory-tools/grimmory, when null-edge-case coverage is flagged for test files, the team preference is to prevent null paths at the service/production-code boundary (e.g., null guards or NonNull contracts) rather than adding boilerplate null-edge tests. Do not insist on null-edge tests when the developer confirms the null scenario cannot occur and intends to enforce that invariant in production code.

Learning: In `grimmory-tools/grimmory`, CBX reader settings (including `CbxPageViewMode`, `CbxPageSplitOption`, `CbxScrollMode`, etc.) are stored as a raw JSON string blob in the `user_settings` table under a setting key (e.g., `CBX_READER_SETTING`). The backend does not deserialize these values into typed Java enum instances, so adding new frontend enum values (e.g., `TWO_PAGE_REVERSED`, `CbxPageSplitOption` members) does NOT cause Jackson `InvalidFormatException` errors. Do not flag frontend-only enum additions as backend serialization issues for these settings.

Learning: When using Spring `ContentDisposition.builder(...).filename(name, StandardCharsets.UTF_8).build()` (i.e., explicitly providing UTF-8), the resulting header value should include both the quoted `filename="=?UTF-8?..."` and the RFC 5987 `filename*=` parameters. In this case, any extra ASCII fallback computation (e.g., deriving an ASCII `fallbackFilename` via `NON_ASCII_PATTERN` and calling `.filename(fallbackFilename)`) is likely redundant—prefer calling only `.filename(fallbackName?, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)` as appropriate and let Spring handle the UTF-8 header parameters. Verify by comparing the emitted header for `filename` and `filename*` before deciding to keep an ASCII fallback.

Do not flag individual occurrences of this pattern as bugs, even though it is not code-point-aware for surrogate pairs. A separate global effort is already tracked to move toward code-point-aware truncation, so per-site fixes should be avoided during code review.

Reviewers should still ensure the log/message contains those details; the intent is to avoid noisy stack traces that only reflect external-library internals rather than application code.

256-256: 🩺 Stability & Availability

Verify validation of persisted Komga settings on the load path.

validateKomgaSettings runs during updateSetting, but buildAppSettings assigns the result of getJsonSetting directly. If the helper does not validate the deserialized object, a persisted value such as {} can produce null fields. SecurityConfig can then fail when it passes a null duration to setTokenValiditySeconds(int).

Validate the loaded KomgaSettings, or confirm that SettingPersistenceHelper.getJsonSetting already enforces the same invariants.

Assert persisted settings by field.

The default test verifies only that a row named komga_settings was saved. The DTO and Map tests only check that serialized text contains the expected strings. These assertions can pass when the persisted JSON has incorrect fields or values.

**/*: This project is being developed using current and future-facing technologies:

  • Java 25 with --enable-preview (preview features are INTENTIONAL and encouraged)
  • Spring Boot 4 (latest major version, check APIs accordingly)
  • Jackson 3 (new package: tools.jackson.* instead of com.fasterxml.jackson.*)

Metadata Standards and Compliance

  • For all metadata writing and parsing logic, double-check against Dublin Core and ANSI standards to ensure perfect official compliance.
  • We strictly follow the widespread and official XML-compliant methods for EPUB2, EPUB3, CBX, and PDF formats.

General Java and Spring rules

  • ALWAYS prefer modern, idiomatic Java 25 constructs over legacy patterns.
  • Preview features (--enable-preview) are enabled and intentional; do NOT flag them as risky unless there is a concrete runtime issue.
  • Prefer: records, sealed classes/interfaces, pattern matching (switch expressions, instanceof), structured concurrency (StructuredTaskScope), scoped values, string templates, unnamed patterns/variables.
  • Prefer virtual threads (Thread.ofVirtual(), Executors.newVirtualThreadPerTaskExecutor()) over platform threads for I/O-bound work.
  • Prefer the new Sequenced Collections API (SequencedCollection, SequencedMap) where applicable.
  • Prefer var for local variables when the type is obvious from context.

Timestamp: 2026-08-13T16:03:08.449Z
Learning: For the Komga API remember-me configuration in `backend/src/main/java/org/booklore/config/security/SecurityConfig.java`, cookie issuance must remain controlled by the `remember-me` request parameter. Komelia sends `?remember-me=true` and receives the `komga-remember-me` cookie. Tachiyomi does not send the parameter and must not receive a remember-me cookie. Do not configure `TokenBasedRememberMeServices.setAlwaysRemember(true)`, because this must match real Komga behavior.

Timestamp: 2026-05-28T15:26:37.099Z
Learning: In `backend/src/test/java/org/booklore/service/KoboEntitlementServiceTest.java`, the entire test class uses JUnit-style assertions (`assertEquals`, `assertNull`, `assertNotNull`, `assertTrue`, `assertFalse`). Do not suggest migrating individual new tests to AssertJ style; consistency with the existing file is preferred over piecemeal migration.

Timestamp: 2026-07-24T03:44:19.962Z
Learning: In `backend/src/main/java/org/booklore/service/book/BookFileDetachmentService.java`, validating that `detachBookFile(...)` remains committed when `BookCoverService.regenerateCover(...)` fails requires integration coverage: both services are transactional, so a real cover-service exception can mark the shared Spring transaction rollback-only, which a Mockito-thrown exception cannot reproduce.

Timestamp: 2026-04-10T08:15:37.436Z
Learning: When using Spring `ContentDisposition.builder(...).filename(name, StandardCharsets.UTF_8).build()` (i.e., explicitly providing UTF-8), the resulting header value should include both the quoted `filename="=?UTF-8?..."` and the RFC 5987 `filename*=` parameters. In this case, any extra ASCII fallback computation (e.g., deriving an ASCII `fallbackFilename` via `NON_ASCII_PATTERN` and calling `.filename(fallbackFilename)`) is likely redundant—prefer calling only `.filename(fallbackName?, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)` as appropriate and let Spring handle the UTF-8 header parameters. Verify by comparing the emitted header for `filename` and `filename*` before deciding to keep an ASCII fallback.

Timestamp: 2026-04-14T12:43:08.698Z
Learning: For this codebase (booklore-api), target Java 25 with `--enable-preview`, so `_` is intentionally used as an unnamed/ignored variable (e.g., lambda parameter or pattern variable) per Java’s preview feature JEP 456. Do not flag `_` in those contexts as an invalid/reserved identifier; only flag it if it’s used in a non-supported position (e.g., where an unnamed variable is not applicable for the Java preview rules).

Learning: When reviewing Java 23+ code, treat `java.time.Instant#until(Instant endExclusive)` as a valid API/method call (it returns a `Duration`, equivalent to `Duration.between(this, endExclusive)`). Do not flag `instant.until(otherInstant)` as a compile error or API misuse when the project targets Java 25+ (as in grimmory-tools/grimmory); the call should be considered correct and returns a `Duration`.

Learning: For Jackson 3 codebases, do not treat imports from `com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.*` (e.g., `JsonInclude`, `JsonProperty`, `JsonView`) as incorrect. In Jackson 3, `jackson-annotations` intentionally remains under `com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.*` for backward compatibility, while only the core processing packages (e.g., `jackson-core`, `jackson-databind`) move to the `tools.jackson.*` namespace.

Learning: In this repository’s JUnit 5 test sources (e.g., under backend/src/test/java/), do not flag “bare” `assert` statements as a bug. The project test runner is configured to always execute tests with assertions enabled (e.g., `-ea`), so `assert` behavior is consistent. Continue to review for correctness, but don’t treat unguarded `assert` usage in test classes as a static-analysis issue.

Learning: In backend unit tests (Java files under backend/src/test/java), do not flag hardcoded placeholder filesystem paths (e.g., setting LibraryPathEntity.path = "/example") as violations when the value is intentionally unused for filesystem access. Only suppress the "no hardcoded paths" concern if the test does not perform any filesystem/network IO using that path (no reads/writes/Files.* calls or code paths that access the filesystem with that value); if the placeholder is actually used to touch the filesystem, flag it.

Learning: In grimmory-tools/grimmory unit/integration test classes (e.g., files matching **/*Test.java under backend/src/test/java/**), it is acceptable to directly instantiate Jackson mappers (e.g., `new ObjectMapper()` / `new JsonMapper(...)`) and this should NOT be flagged. The Jackson guidance to use Spring bean injection or `JsonMapper.shared()` applies only to production code; tests may construct dependencies directly as standard practice. Production-code mapper instantiation rules should still be enforced outside test sources.

  • src/content/docs/integration/komga-api.mdx likewise documents Basic authentication without cookie-based session reuse or KomgaSettings. [::grimmory-tools/grimmory-docs::]

Documentation may need updating to explain remember-me cookie behavior while retaining Basic Auth guidance.
