PWA: Library and search

Goal and result

Browse, search, and update titles, watchlist, and history, then choose how Collectors Mode, multiple editions, box-sets, vaults, and collections are presented.

Applies to

In both DiscVault v26 channels, available actions are permission-scoped; viewers cannot perform editor or administrator changes. Collectors Mode is off by default and exposes the box_set, vault, and collection container types. Merging multiple editions as one title is a separate preference that is also off by default.

Procedure

Open: Library → Search · known title
Configure: Library → Filter → Format / Genre / Group
Compare: Library → View → Posters / List · same result count
Test: Title → Details → Watchlist / Watched · reload persistence
Open: Settings → Preferences → Collectors → Collectors mode / Merge multiple editions as one title
Configure: Collectors Mode is off by default and exposes advanced container features; merge_editions_as_title is a separate preference that is also off by default
Test: when merge_editions_as_title is enabled, multiple physical versions appear as one library tile; open the tile to see every edition
Compare: a box-set is a physical retail product with its own barcode; its films remain individual titles linked as direct movie members
Compare: a vault is a user-created shelf, storage box, or location grouping with direct movie members and no retail-product meaning
Compare: a collection is a thematic grouping whose ordered items may be movies, box-sets, vaults, or other collections, so nesting is supported
Test: turning Collectors Mode off hides its container presentation but does not delete containers or their members

Expected result

Search and filters return expected records, an allowed watchlist change persists, and collector preferences change presentation without deleting containers, members, or editions.
