## [2.5.1] - 2025-12-19

### 🔧 Error Handling & Resource Management Fixes

This release fixes critical error handling issues and adds resource throttling to prevent system overload during parallel encoding.

### Fixed

#### Error Messages & Debugging
- **Fixed missing FFmpeg error details** - Users now see complete FFmpeg stderr output instead of generic "Failed to encode track 0" messages
  - Error context is preserved through the async task boundary
  - Pattern matching replaces `.with_context()` to maintain full error chain
  - Example: Now shows "Track 0 encoding failed: FFmpeg conversion failed: [detailed stderr]"
  - Resolves GitHub Issue #1

#### Error Retry Logic
- **Fixed over-aggressive retry behavior** - FFmpeg encoding errors are now correctly classified as permanent
  - Added 20+ FFmpeg-specific error patterns (codec errors, format issues, corruption)
  - Organized error classification by category: File System, FFmpeg Codec/Format, Data Corruption
  - Permanent errors (corrupted files, invalid codecs, etc.) no longer retry
  - Saves time by immediately failing on non-recoverable errors

#### Error Visibility
- **Added detailed error logging during retries** - Users now see what error occurred on each retry attempt
  - Previous: "Transient error (attempt 1), retrying in 1s..."
  - Now: "Transient error on attempt 1: [full error details]"
  - Shows remaining retry attempts: "Retrying in 1s... (2 attempts remaining)"
  - Better troubleshooting experience

### Added

#### Resource Throttling
- **New config option: `max_concurrent_files_per_book`** (default: 8)
  - Prevents resource exhaustion when encoding books with many files (e.g., 40 MP3s)
  - Before: 40 files = 40 concurrent FFmpeg processes × ~4 threads = 160 threads → System overload
  - After: 40 files = max 8 concurrent FFmpeg × ~4 threads = 32 threads → Predictable, safe
  - Configurable: Set to "auto" for num_cpus, or specific number (1-32)
  - Example config:
    ```yaml
    performance:
      max_concurrent_files_per_book: "8"  # or "auto"
    ```

#### Semaphore-Based Concurrency Control
- **Implemented per-book file encoding throttling** using tokio::sync::Semaphore
  - Limits concurrent FFmpeg processes within a single book
  - Works alongside existing `max_concurrent_encodes` (which limits concurrent books)
  - Two-level concurrency control: Books level + Files level
  - Prevents "too many open files" and "resource temporarily unavailable" errors

### Improved

#### Error Classification
- **Enhanced error type detection** with comprehensive FFmpeg pattern matching:
  - **Transient errors**: timeout, connection issues, resource deadlock, "try again"
  - **Permanent - File system**: file not found, permission denied, disk full, no space left
  - **Permanent - FFmpeg codec**: invalid data, codec not found, unsupported codec, no decoder/encoder
  - **Permanent - Corruption**: corrupted, truncated, malformed, header missing
  - Conservative default: Unknown errors still treated as transient (safe fallback)

#### Logging & Observability
- **Better progress feedback** for parallel encoding:
  - Shows: "Using parallel encoding: 40 files with max 8 concurrent" (previously just "40 files concurrently")
  - Clear visibility into throttling behavior
  - Helps users understand performance characteristics

### Performance Impact

#### Individual Book Processing
- **Slower with throttling**: ~2-3x longer for large books (acceptable trade-off for reliability)
  - Example: 40-file book might take 90s instead of 30s
  - But: No more system crashes or resource exhaustion

#### Overall Reliability
- **Dramatic improvement** in stability:
  - No more "too many open files" errors
  - Predictable memory and CPU usage
  - Multiple books can process in parallel without conflicts
  - Users can set `max_concurrent_files_per_book: "auto"` on powerful systems for best performance

### Configuration Updates

New configuration section in `config.yaml`:

```yaml
performance:
  max_concurrent_encodes: "auto"           # Concurrent books (batch level)
  max_concurrent_files_per_book: "8"      # NEW - Concurrent files per book
  enable_parallel_encoding: true
  encoding_preset: "balanced"
```

**Backward Compatible**: Missing field defaults to "8" (safe default).

### Technical Details

#### Files Modified
- `src/models/config.rs` - Added `max_concurrent_files_per_book` field to PerformanceConfig
- `src/core/processor.rs` - Implemented semaphore throttling, improved error handling
  - Added `Arc<Semaphore>` for concurrency control
  - Replaced `.with_context()` with pattern matching for error preservation
  - Updated constructors to accept `max_concurrent_files` parameter
- `src/core/retry.rs` - Enhanced error classification and logging
  - Added 20+ FFmpeg-specific error patterns
  - Improved retry logging with full error details
  - Better classification by error category
- `src/core/batch.rs` - Thread max_concurrent_files through call stack
  - Added field to BatchProcessor struct
  - Updated constructors and process_single_book signature
- `src/cli/handlers.rs` - Parse new config option and pass to batch processor
  - Parse `max_concurrent_files_per_book` from config
  - Support "auto" and numeric values (1-32)

#### Error Handling Changes
**Before:**
```rust
task.await.context("Task join error")?
    .with_context(|| format!("Failed to encode track {}", i))?;
// Result: Only "Failed to encode track 0" shown to user
```

**After:**
```rust
match task.await {
    Ok(Ok(())) => continue,
    Ok(Err(e)) => return Err(e).context(format!("Track {} encoding failed", i)),
    Err(e) => return Err(anyhow::anyhow!("Task {} panicked: {}", i, e)),
}
// Result: Full FFmpeg stderr preserved and shown to user
```

### Migration Notes

**New Users**: No action needed. Default throttling (8 concurrent files) is safe for most systems.

**Power Users**: Adjust `max_concurrent_files_per_book` in config.yaml:
- **Laptops/Low-power**: Set to "4" for lower resource usage
- **Workstations (16+ cores)**: Set to "auto" or "16" for maximum speed
- **Default (8)**: Good balance for most desktop systems (8-16 cores)

**Debugging**: Error messages are now much more verbose - this is intentional for better troubleshooting.

### Upgrade from 2.5.0

1. Update audiobook-forge: `cargo install audiobook-forge --force`
2. (Optional) Add to config.yaml:
   ```yaml
   performance:
     max_concurrent_files_per_book: "8"  # or adjust to your preference
   ```
3. Enjoy improved error messages and more stable parallel encoding!

## [2.5.0] - 2025-12-15

### ✨ Streamlined Match Experience & Enhanced Metadata

This release dramatically improves the user experience of the `match` command and enhances metadata compatibility with audiobook platforms like Audiobookshelf.

### Changed

#### Streamlined Interactive Workflow
- **BREAKING: Removed redundant confirmation prompt** - Selecting a match option now applies metadata immediately
  - Previous workflow: Select match → Confirm changes → Apply (2 steps)
  - New workflow: Select match → Apply (1 step)
  - **Rationale**: Selecting an option from the match list IS the confirmation - asking again is redundant friction
  - Impact: Faster workflow, especially when processing multiple files
  - No `--yes` flag needed - the selection itself is the user's consent

### Added

#### Enhanced Metadata Tags
- **Added comprehensive metadata tags** for better platform compatibility:
  - `description` - Subtitle/short description
  - `longdesc` - Full book synopsis/description
  - `synopsis` - Extended plot summary
  - `publisher` - Publisher name (as custom atom)
  - `asin` - Audible ASIN (as custom atom `com.audible;asin`)
  - All tags written in MP4/iTunes format for M4B compatibility

#### Better Audiobookshelf Support
- Metadata now includes all tags expected by Audiobookshelf per their documentation:
  - `artist` / `album_artist` → Author
  - `album` / `title` → Title
  - `composer` → Narrator
  - `publisher` → Publisher
  - `asin` → ASIN
  - `description` / `synopsis` → Description
  - `date` → Publish Year
  - `genre` → Genres

### Fixed

#### Interactive Mode Statistics
- **Fixed match counter** - Now correctly counts processed files instead of marking all as "skipped"
  - Previous: Selecting matches resulted in "Skipped: 59, Processed: 0"
  - Now: Correctly shows "Processed: 45, Skipped: 14" when matches are selected
  - Issue was caused by confirmation prompt failures being counted as skips

### Improved

#### User Experience
- **Cleaner terminal output** - Removed double-confirmation prompts that caused confusion
- **Faster batch processing** - One interaction per file instead of two
- **Better visual feedback** - Success message displays immediately after selection
- **More intuitive workflow** - Natural feel: see options → pick one → done

#### Metadata Quality
- **Richer embedded metadata** - Files now contain all available information from Audible
- **Better platform compatibility** - Enhanced tag coverage for various audiobook players
- **Proper custom atom format** - Publisher and ASIN written as proper MP4 custom atoms

### Technical Details

#### Files Modified
- `src/cli/handlers.rs` - Removed confirmation prompt, streamlined selection flow
- `src/audio/metadata.rs` - Added description, synopsis, publisher, and ASIN tags
  - Enhanced AtomicParsley commands with additional metadata fields
  - Added custom rDNS atoms for publisher and ASIN
  - Fixed comment field to not be overwritten

#### Workflow Comparison

**Before (v2.4.2):**
```
1. User sees match candidates
2. User selects option 1
3. [Hidden confirmation prompt appears but doesn't render]
4. [Prompt times out or fails]
5. File marked as "Skipped"
```

**After (v2.5.0):**
```
1. User sees match candidates
2. User selects option 1
3. ✓ Metadata applied successfully
4. File marked as "Processed"
```

### Migration Notes

**Interactive Mode Change:**
- If you relied on the confirmation step as a safety net, note that selecting a match now applies it immediately
- For bulk operations where you want to review before applying, use `--dry-run` flag
- The removed confirmation was causing UX issues (not displaying, timing out) and was redundant by design

**Metadata Enhancement:**
- Existing files can be re-processed to add the new metadata tags
- No breaking changes to file format - all additions are additive
- Enhanced tags improve compatibility with Audiobookshelf and other platforms

## [2.4.2] - 2025-12-14

### 🧹 Code Cleanup

This release removes dead code and eliminates all compiler warnings for a cleaner build.

### Fixed

#### Removed Dead Code
- **Removed obsolete CLI runner functions** - Cleaned up unused code in `src/cli/commands.rs`
  - Removed unused `run()` function and all helper functions (`run_build`, `run_organize`, `run_config`, `run_check`, `run_metadata`, `run_match`, `run_version`)
  - These functions were replaced by direct handler calls in `main.rs` but never removed
  - Removed associated unused imports (`ConfigManager`, `DependencyChecker`, `Result`)

#### Silenced Intentional Warnings
- **Marked unused API response fields** - Added `#[allow(dead_code)]` to fields that are part of API responses but not used
  - `total_results` in `AudibleSearchResponse` (Audible API response field)
  - `asin` in `AudnexusGenre` (Audnexus API response field)
- **Preserved utility function** - Marked `natural_sort_strings()` with `#[allow(dead_code)]` for future use

### Improved

#### Build Quality
- **Zero compiler warnings** - Clean build with no warnings in library or binary compilation
- **Reduced code size** - Removed ~170 lines of obsolete code
- **Better code organization** - Clarified intentional vs. accidental unused code

### Technical Details

#### Files Modified
- `src/cli/commands.rs` - Removed 8 unused functions and 3 unused imports (~170 lines removed)
- `src/audio/audible.rs` - Added `#[allow(dead_code)]` annotations to 2 API response fields
- `src/utils/sorting.rs` - Added `#[allow(dead_code)]` annotation to utility function

#### Before → After
- Compiler warnings: **11 → 0**
- Dead code: **Removed**
- Build output: **Clean**

### Migration Notes

No action required - this is purely a code cleanup release with no functional changes.

## [2.4.1] - 2025-12-14

### 🔧 Enhanced Metadata Extraction

This release significantly improves metadata extraction from M4B filenames, especially for files with underscores, resulting in much better search results.

### Fixed

#### Filename Pattern Matching
- **Fixed underscore handling** - Now correctly parses author and title from filenames with underscores
  - Previous: Only recognized `"Author - Title"` (space-dash-space) → failed on `Author_-_Title`
  - Now supports: `_-_`, `_ -_`, `_- `, and other common variations
  - Automatically converts underscores to spaces: `Adam_Phillips_-_On_Giving_Up` → author: "Adam Phillips", title: "On Giving Up"
  - **Impact**: Files downloaded from audiobook sites (which often use underscores) now extract metadata correctly

#### Metadata Merging Logic
- **Fixed incomplete metadata extraction** - Always merges embedded tags with filename data
  - Previous: If embedded metadata had title, skipped filename parsing (lost author info)
  - Now: Always parses both and merges (embedded takes priority, filename fills gaps)
  - **Example**: File with embedded title "Be Unstoppable" but no author now correctly extracts author "Alden Mills" from filename `Alden_Mills_-_Be_Unstoppable.m4b`

### Improved

#### Search Quality
- **Better match accuracy** - Extracting both title AND author dramatically improves search results
  - Before fix: Searching with only title "On Giving Up" → irrelevant results (Barndominium Bible, Reparenting Myself, etc.)
  - After fix: Searching with title + author "On Giving Up" + "Adam Phillips" → correct book matches
  - Match confidence scores improved from 60-70% to 85-95% range for most files

### Technical Details

#### Files Modified
- `src/utils/extraction.rs` - Enhanced filename parsing and metadata merging
  - Added multi-pattern separator matching (5 common patterns)
  - Changed to always merge embedded + filename metadata
  - Improved underscore → space conversion
- `tests/audible_integration.rs` - Fixed compilation error with `authors_string()` method

#### Tests Added
- Filename parsing with underscores: `Adam_Phillips_-_On_Giving_Up`
- Mixed underscores and spaces: `Neil_deGrasse_Tyson - Just Visiting This Planet`
- Multiple underscore patterns for common download formats

### Migration Notes

No action required - this is a transparent enhancement. If upgrading from v2.4.0:
- Files with underscored names will now be parsed correctly
- Search results will be significantly more accurate
- No configuration changes needed

## [2.4.0] - 2025-12-14

### 🐛 Critical Bug Fix: Match Command Now Functional

This release fixes a critical bug in v2.3.0 where the `match` command was completely non-functional due to using a non-existent API endpoint.

### Fixed

#### Match Command Search Functionality
- **Fixed Audible search** - Replaced non-existent Audnexus search endpoint with Audible's direct API
  - Previous implementation used `https://api.audnex.us/books?title=...&author=...` (404 error)
  - Now uses two-step approach (same as audiobookshelf):
    1. Search Audible API: `https://api.audible.com/1.0/catalog/products` → get ASINs
    2. Fetch full metadata: `https://api.audnex.us/books/{asin}` → get complete book data
  - All 59 test files previously failed with "404 Not Found"
  - Now successfully matches 39/59 files with confidence scores (20 not in Audible catalog)

#### API Integration
- **Added region-specific TLD support** - Audible API now uses correct TLDs per region
  - US: `.com`, UK: `.co.uk`, AU: `.com.au`, CA: `.ca`, etc.
  - Previously only used region codes for Audnexus API
- **Improved error handling** - Gracefully handles 500 errors from Audnexus for individual ASINs
- **Fixed author display** - Updated to use `authors_string()` method for proper formatting

### Changed

#### Internal Architecture
- `AudibleClient::search()` now returns `Vec<AudibleMetadata>` directly (was `Vec<AudibleSearchResult>`)
- Added `AudibleSearchResponse` and `AudibleProduct` structs for Audible API parsing
- Removed unused `AudnexusSearchResult` struct and `convert_search_result()` function
- Simplified `search_audible()` handler to use new two-step search internally

### Technical Details

#### Files Modified
- `src/models/audible.rs` - Added `audible_tld()` method for region-specific API domains
- `src/audio/audible.rs` - Rewrote `search()` to use Audible's API + Audnexus two-step approach
- `src/cli/handlers.rs` - Simplified search handler, fixed author display formatting

#### Code Changes
- ~100 lines modified
- Zero breaking changes to command-line interface
- Maintains full backward compatibility

### Migration Notes

No action required - this is a transparent bug fix. If you're upgrading from v2.3.0:
- The `match` command will now work as originally documented
- All command-line flags and options remain unchanged
- Configuration files require no modifications

---

## [2.3.0] - 2025-12-14

#### Code Statistics
- ~1,200 lines of new code
- Full async/await integration
- Comprehensive error handling
- Zero compilation errors

### Architecture

**Match Flow:**
```
File/Directory → Metadata Extraction → Audible Search →
Scoring & Ranking → Interactive Selection → Metadata Application
```

**Scoring Algorithm:**
1. Extract current metadata (embedded tags + filename parsing)
2. Search Audible API (up to 10 results)
3. Calculate weighted distance for each candidate
4. Normalize to percentage (100% - distance)
5. Assign confidence level
6. Sort by best match
7. Present to user with color-coding

**Distance Calculation:**
- Title: 40% weight (normalized Levenshtein)
- Author: 30% weight (best match from multiple authors)
- Duration: 20% weight (5% tolerance = 0.0, >20% = 1.0)
- Year: 10% weight (±10 years = 1.0 distance)

### Limitations

- **Audnexus API dependency** - Requires internet connection and working API
- **API rate limiting** - Respects 100 requests/minute limit
- **Fuzzy matching accuracy** - May require manual selection for ambiguous books
- **M4B files only** - Currently only supports M4B format (MP3 support planned)

### Future Enhancements

- Build integration with `match_mode` config (interactive/auto during build)
- Support for MP3 files with metadata matching
- Custom scoring weights configuration
- Match confidence threshold settings
- Batch auto-matching with confidence filters
- Alternative metadata sources (MusicBrainz, GoodReads)

    - `GET /books/{ASIN}?region={region}` - Fetch by ASIN
    - `GET /books?title={title}&author={author}` - Search

#### Code Statistics
- ~1,500 lines of new code
- 100% test coverage for core functionality
- Zero compilation errors
- Full async/await integration with existing Tokio runtime

### Usage Examples

#### Fetch Metadata by ASIN
```bash
audiobook-forge metadata fetch --asin B00B5HZGUG --region us
```

#### Search by Title/Author
```bash
audiobook-forge metadata fetch \
  --title "The Martian" \
  --author "Andy Weir" \
  --region us \
  --output metadata.json
```

#### Enrich Existing M4B
```bash
# With explicit ASIN
audiobook-forge metadata enrich --file book.m4b --asin B00B5HZGUG

# Auto-detect ASIN from filename
audiobook-forge metadata enrich \
  --file "The Martian [B00B5HZGUG].m4b" \
  --auto-detect
```

#### Auto-Fetch During Build
```bash
# With ASIN in folder names
audiobook-forge build \
  --root /audiobooks \
  --fetch-audible \
  --audible-region us

# Auto-match by folder name
audiobook-forge build \
  --root /audiobooks \
  --fetch-audible \
  --audible-auto-match
```

### Metadata Priority

When Audible metadata is available:
- **Always overrides** existing ID3/M4A tags
- **Cover art** from Audible replaces local artwork
- **Narrators** stored as composer tag (audiobook convention)
- **Description** embedded as comment field
- **Series information** preserved in structured format

### Migration Notes

#### Enable Audible Metadata

1. **Update to v2.2.0**:
   ```bash
   cargo install audiobook-forge --force
   ```

2. **Initialize/update config**:
   ```bash
   audiobook-forge config init --force
   ```

3. **Enable in config** (optional):
   ```yaml
   metadata:
     audible:
       enabled: true
       region: "us"
   ```

4. **Use during build**:
   ```bash
   audiobook-forge build --root /audiobooks --fetch-audible
   ```

#### ASIN Folder Naming

For automatic detection, rename folders to include ASINs:
```bash
# Before
My Audiobook/

# After (ASIN auto-detected)
My Audiobook [B00G3L6JMS]/
# or
B00G3L6JMS - My Audiobook/
```

### Limitations

- **API rate limit**: 100 requests per minute (Audnexus restriction)
- **Auto-match accuracy**: May have false positives with common titles
- **Region-specific**: Books must be available in selected Audible region
- **Network required**: Metadata fetching requires internet connection

### Future Enhancements

Potential improvements for future versions:
- Interactive search result selection
- Batch metadata updates for existing M4B libraries
- Custom metadata field mapping
- Integration with other metadata sources (MusicBrainz, GoodReads)
- Metadata comparison and conflict resolution UI

## [2.1.0] - 2025-12-12

### 🚀 Performance & Features Release

This release delivers major performance improvements and quality-of-life features, making audiobook-forge **3.8x faster** for multi-file conversions while adding smart directory detection.

### Added

#### New Features
- **Auto-detect current directory** - Run `audiobook-forge build` from inside an audiobook folder without `--root` parameter
  - Automatically detects folders with 2+ MP3/M4A files
  - Outputs M4B to the same directory
  - Falls back to requiring `--root` if not in audiobook folder
- **Parallel file encoding** - Encode each MP3 file in parallel, then concatenate (3.8x faster!)
  - Before: 121.5s with 13% CPU usage (serial)
  - After: 32.1s with 590% CPU usage (parallel)
  - Uses all available CPU cores efficiently
  - Can be toggled via config

#### Performance Configuration
- `performance.max_concurrent_encodes` - Control how many files encode in parallel ("auto" or specific number)
- `performance.enable_parallel_encoding` - Toggle parallel vs serial encoding
- `performance.encoding_preset` - Choose "fast", "balanced", or "high" quality presets
- Automatic CPU core detection for optimal parallelization

#### Enhanced Configuration
- **Retry settings** - `processing.max_retries` and `processing.retry_delay` now configurable
- **Quality settings** - `quality.default_bitrate` and `quality.default_sample_rate` configurable
- **Apple Silicon encoder** - `advanced.use_apple_silicon_encoder` explicitly configurable
- Comprehensive config file at `~/.config/audiobook-forge/config.yaml` with documentation

### Fixed

#### Critical Bugs
- **MP3 to M4B conversion failure** - Fixed issue where MP3 files couldn't be converted to M4B
  - Root cause: MP3 codec cannot be copied directly into M4B container
  - Solution: Force transcoding to AAC for MP3 files (disable copy mode)
  - Prevents "Failed to concatenate audio files" errors
- **Embedded cover art handling** - Added `-vn` flag to FFmpeg to skip video streams
  - Prevents "codec mjpeg not supported in container" errors
  - Properly handles MP3 files with embedded album art

#### Minor Fixes
- **Path escaping** - Improved concat file path handling with absolute paths and escaping
- **Error messages** - Better context in error messages for file operations
- **Git workflow** - Renamed default branch from `master` to `main`

### Changed

#### Performance Improvements
- **Serial to parallel encoding** - Default encoding strategy changed from serial to parallel
  - Configurable via `performance.enable_parallel_encoding`
  - Dramatically reduces processing time for multi-file audiobooks
- **FFmpeg threading** - Added `--threads 0` for auto-thread detection in standard encoder
- **Resource utilization** - Better CPU core utilization (13% → 590%)

#### Architecture
- Processor now supports both parallel and serial encoding modes
- BatchProcessor passes performance config to Processor
- Config-driven retry logic instead of hardcoded values

### Performance Metrics

**Encoding Speed Comparison** (10-file audiobook, ~276MB):
```
Serial mode:   121.5s @ 13% CPU  (old behavior)
Parallel mode:  32.1s @ 590% CPU (new default) ← 3.8x FASTER
```

**Resource Usage:**
- CPU cores utilized: 1 → 6 cores
- Processing time: 121s → 32s (-73%)
- Throughput: 2.3 MB/s → 8.6 MB/s

### Migration Guide

#### For Existing Users

No breaking changes! All new features have sensible defaults.

**To benefit from new performance:**
1. Upgrade: `cargo install audiobook-forge --force`
2. Optional: Create config file: `audiobook-forge config init`
3. Optional: Customize settings in `~/.config/audiobook-forge/config.yaml`

**To use auto-detect:**
```bash
# Old way (still works)
audiobook-forge build --root ~/Audiobooks/Book-Name/

# New way (from inside folder)
cd ~/Audiobooks/Book-Name/
audiobook-forge build
```

**To control parallelization:**
```yaml
# In ~/.config/audiobook-forge/config.yaml
performance:
  max_concurrent_encodes: "auto"  # or "4", "8", etc.
  enable_parallel_encoding: true   # or false for serial mode
```
