Analyzed Calibre-Web's implementation (13k+ stars, industry standard) to document business logic patterns for libcalibre updates. Key findings:

  • Direct SQLite access via SQLAlchemy ORM (no Calibre installation)
  • Runtime dynamic schema for custom columns (9 datatypes)
  • Author/title sort generation with international support
  • Case-insensitive uniqueness with orphan cleanup
  • Complex filename sanitization (96-char dirs, 42-char files)
  • Metadata dirty tracking for Calibre desktop sync

Document includes:

  • Database architecture and schema mapping
  • 12 critical business logic patterns with code examples
  • Implementation checklist (prioritized: high/medium/low)
  • Testing recommendations and performance considerations
  • Breaking change analysis and migration strategies
