- Added Vitest configuration (`vitest.config.mjs`) for frontend unit testing with a `jsdom` environment.
- Migrated and rewrote key frontend tests (`api.test.js`, `comiclist.test.js`, `comicreader.test.js`, `historytable.test.js`, `router.test.js`, `store.test.js`) to Vitest, improving maintainability.
- Removed `tsconfig.json` and related TypeScript loaders from `webpack` configurations (`webpack.dev.js`, `webpack.prod.js`).
- Adjusted `eslint.config.mjs` to support Vitest tests.
- Updated `package-lock.json` to include Vitest, test utilities (`jsdom`, `@vue/test-utils`), and other associated packages.
- Updated Nginx configuration for better compression on assets (`gzip` adjustments).
- Enhanced `entrypoint.sh` to include first-run library indexing (`--if-empty` argument).
- Simplified the `scan_comics` command with a dedicated test for empty database scans.
This transition improves testing workflows and backend/frontend synergy while removing unused TypeScript dependencies.
- Added a new `scan_directory` task to enable folder scans as asynchronous tasks while maintaining compatibility with the immediate backend.
- Introduced the `reconcile` function, replacing `generate_directory` for improved separation of concerns between database writes and read operations.
- Established a unique constraint on `Directory` (`one_directory_name_per_parent`) to prevent duplicate directories under the same parent.
- Added a "Scan" button to the frontend for re-reading folders from disk, along with new task invocation endpoints in the API.
- Updated tests across modules to validate the new `scan_directory` task, unique constraints, and database indexing logic.
- Improved cleanup logic for stale files, directories, and thumbnails to handle concurrent operations efficiently.
- Simplified `scan_comics` management command by removing user dependency and aligning it with the new `reconcile` function.
- Enhanced frontend components (`TheComicReader`, `TheComicList`, and others) to include lifecycle method cleanups, prevent memory leaks, and handle task-based scans.
- Removed `flake8` and `flake8-annotations` from dependencies, replaced by `ruff` for linting.
- Introduced cleaner type hinting and modern Python annotations (PEP 604 style) across multiple modules.
- Moved archive processing to a dedicated helper (`comic.archives`) for improved maintainability.
- Updated and simplified logic for archive file retrieval, directory cleaning, and user access validation.
- Improved error handling and added support for user classification restrictions in API responses.
