+# Async Image Processing Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+The image processing system has been updated to handle external images asynchronously, preventing timeouts when processing stories with many images. This provides real-time progress updates to users showing which images are being processed.
+
+## Backend Components
+
+### 1. `ImageProcessingProgressService`
+- Tracks progress for individual story image processing sessions
+- Thread-safe with `ConcurrentHashMap` for multi-user support
+- Provides progress information: total images, processed count, current image, status, errors
+
+### 2. `AsyncImageProcessingService`
+- Handles asynchronous image processing using Spring's `@Async` annotation
+- Counts external images before processing
+- Provides progress callbacks during processing
+- Updates story content when processing completes
+- Automatic cleanup of progress data after completion
+
+### 3. Enhanced `ImageService`
+- Added `processContentImagesWithProgress()` method with callback support
+- Progress callbacks provide real-time updates during image download/processing
+- Maintains compatibility with existing synchronous processing
+
+### 4. Updated `StoryController`
+- `POST /api/stories` and `PUT /api/stories/{id}` now trigger async image processing
+- `GET /api/stories/{id}/image-processing-progress` endpoint for progress polling
+- Processing starts immediately after story save and returns control to user
+
+## Frontend Components
+
+### 1. `ImageProcessingProgressTracker` (Utility Class)
+```typescript
+const tracker = new ImageProcessingProgressTracker(storyId);
+tracker.onProgress((progress) => {
+  console.log(`Processing ${progress.processedImages}/${progress.totalImages}`);
+});
+tracker.onComplete(() => console.log('Done!'));
+tracker.start();
+```
+
+### 2. `ImageProcessingProgressComponent` (React Component)
+```tsx
+<ImageProcessingProgressComponent
+  storyId={storyId}
+  autoStart={true}
+  onComplete={() => refreshStory()}
+/>
+```
+
+## User Experience
+
+### Before (Synchronous)
+1. User saves story with external images
+2. Request hangs for 30+ seconds processing images
+3. Browser may timeout
+4. No feedback about progress
+5. User doesn't know if it's working
+
+### After (Asynchronous)
+1. User saves story with external images
+2. Save completes immediately
+3. Progress indicator appears: "Processing 5 images. Currently image 2 of 5..."
+4. User can continue using the application
+5. Progress updates every second
+6. Story automatically refreshes when processing completes
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Progress Endpoint
+```
+GET /api/stories/{id}/image-processing-progress
+```
+
+**Response when processing:**
+```json
+{
+  "isProcessing": true,
+  "totalImages": 5,
+  "processedImages": 2,
+  "currentImageUrl": "https://example.com/image.jpg",
+  "status": "Processing image 3 of 5",
+  "progressPercentage": 40.0,
+  "completed": false,
+  "error": ""
+}
+```
+
+**Response when completed:**
+```json
+{
+  "isProcessing": false,
+  "totalImages": 5,
+  "processedImages": 5,
+  "currentImageUrl": "",
+  "status": "Completed: 5 images processed",
+  "progressPercentage": 100.0,
+  "completed": true,
+  "error": ""
+}
+```
+
+**Response when no processing:**
+```json
+{
+  "isProcessing": false,
+  "message": "No active image processing"
+}
+```
+
+## Integration Examples
+
+### React Hook Usage
+```tsx
+import { useImageProcessingProgress } from '../utils/imageProcessingProgress';
+
+function StoryEditor({ storyId }) {
+  const { progress, isTracking, startTracking } = useImageProcessingProgress(storyId);
+
+  const handleSave = async () => {
+    await saveStory();
+    startTracking(); // Start monitoring progress
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {isTracking && progress && (
+        <div className="progress-indicator">
+          Processing {progress.processedImages}/{progress.totalImages} images...
+        </div>
+      )}
+      <button onClick={handleSave}>Save Story</button>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Manual Progress Tracking
+```typescript
+// After saving a story with external images
+const tracker = new ImageProcessingProgressTracker(storyId);
+
+tracker.onProgress((progress) => {
+  updateProgressBar(progress.progressPercentage);
+  showStatus(progress.status);
+  if (progress.currentImageUrl) {
+    showCurrentImage(progress.currentImageUrl);
+  }
+});
+
+tracker.onComplete((finalProgress) => {
+  hideProgressBar();
+  showNotification('Image processing completed!');
+  refreshStoryContent(); // Reload story with processed images
+});
+
+tracker.onError((error) => {
+  hideProgressBar();
+  showError(`Image processing failed: ${error}`);
+});
+
+tracker.start();
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Polling Interval
+Default: 1 second (1000ms)
+```typescript
+const tracker = new ImageProcessingProgressTracker(storyId, 500); // Poll every 500ms
+```
+
+### Timeout
+Default: 5 minutes (300000ms)
+```typescript
+const tracker = new ImageProcessingProgressTracker(storyId, 1000, 600000); // 10 minute timeout
+```
+
+### Spring Async Configuration
+The backend uses Spring's default async executor. For production, consider configuring a custom thread pool in your application properties:
+
+```yaml
+spring:
+  task:
+    execution:
+      pool:
+        core-size: 4
+        max-size: 8
+        queue-capacity: 100
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Backend Errors
+- Network timeouts downloading images
+- Invalid image formats
+- Disk space issues
+- All errors are logged and returned in progress status
+
+### Frontend Errors
+- Network failures during progress polling
+- Timeout if processing takes too long
+- Graceful degradation - user can continue working
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **No More Timeouts**: Large image processing operations won't timeout HTTP requests
+2. **Better UX**: Users get real-time feedback about processing progress
+3. **Improved Performance**: Users can continue using the app while images process
+4. **Error Visibility**: Clear error messages when image processing fails
+5. **Scalability**: Multiple users can process images simultaneously without blocking
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **WebSocket Support**: Replace polling with WebSocket for real-time push updates
+2. **Batch Processing**: Queue multiple stories for batch image processing
+3. **Retry Logic**: Automatic retry for failed image downloads
+4. **Progress Persistence**: Save progress to database for recovery after server restart
+5. **Image Optimization**: Automatic resize/compress images during processing

-# StoryCove Search Migration Specification: Typesense to OpenSearch
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-This document specifies the migration from Typesense to OpenSearch for the StoryCove application. The migration will be implemented using a parallel approach, maintaining Typesense functionality while gradually transitioning to OpenSearch, ensuring zero downtime and the ability to rollback if needed.
-
-**Migration Goals:**
-- Solve random query reliability issues
-- Improve complex filtering performance
-- Maintain feature parity during transition
-- Zero downtime migration
-- Improved developer experience
-
----
-
-## Current State Analysis
-
-### Typesense Implementation Overview
-
-**Service Architecture:**
-- `TypesenseService.java` (~2000 lines) - Primary search service
-- 3 search indexes: Stories, Authors, Collections
-- Multi-library support with dynamic collection names
-- Integration with Spring Boot backend
-
-**Core Functionality:**
-1. **Full-text Search**: Stories, Authors with complex query building
-2. **Random Story Selection**: `_rand()` function with fallback logic
-3. **Advanced Filtering**: 15+ filter conditions with boolean logic
-4. **Faceting**: Tag aggregations and counts
-5. **Autocomplete**: Search suggestions with typeahead
-6. **CRUD Operations**: Index/update/delete for all entity types
-
-**Current Issues Identified:**
-- `_rand()` function unreliability requiring complex fallback logic
-- Complex filter query building with escaping issues
-- Limited aggregation capabilities
-- Inconsistent API behavior across query patterns
-- Multi-collection management complexity
-
-### Data Models and Schema
-
-**Story Index Fields:**
-```java
-// Core fields
-UUID id, String title, String description, String sourceUrl
-Integer wordCount, Integer rating, Integer volume
-Boolean isRead, LocalDateTime lastReadAt, Integer readingPosition
-
-// Relationships
-UUID authorId, String authorName
-UUID seriesId, String seriesName
-List<String> tagNames
-
-// Metadata
-LocalDateTime createdAt, LocalDateTime updatedAt
-String coverPath, String sourceDomain
-```
-
-**Author Index Fields:**
-```java
-UUID id, String name, String notes
-Integer authorRating, Double averageStoryRating, Integer storyCount
-List<String> urls, String avatarImagePath

-
-## Target OpenSearch Architecture
-
-### Service Layer Design
-
-**New Components:**
-```
-OpenSearchService.java        - Primary search service (mirrors TypesenseService API)
-OpenSearchConfig.java         - Configuration and client setup
-SearchMigrationService.java   - Handles parallel operation during migration
-SearchServiceAdapter.java     - Abstraction layer for service switching
-```
-
-**Index Strategy:**
-- **Single-node deployment** for development/small installations
-- **Index-per-library** approach: `stories-{libraryId}`, `authors-{libraryId}`, `collections-{libraryId}`
-- **Index templates** for consistent mapping across libraries
-- **Aliases** for easy switching and zero-downtime updates
-
-### OpenSearch Index Mappings

-);
-```
-
-**Complex Filtering:**
-```java
-// Build bool query with multiple filter conditions
-BoolQueryBuilder boolQuery = QueryBuilders.boolQuery()
-    .must(QueryBuilders.multiMatchQuery(query, "title", "description", "authorName"))
-    .filter(QueryBuilders.termsQuery("tagNames", tags))
-    .filter(QueryBuilders.rangeQuery("wordCount").gte(minWords).lte(maxWords))
-    .filter(QueryBuilders.rangeQuery("rating").gte(minRating).lte(maxRating));
-```
-
-**Faceting/Aggregations:**
-```java
-// Tags aggregation
-AggregationBuilder tagsAgg = AggregationBuilders
-    .terms("tags")
-    .field("tagNames")
-    .size(100);
-
-// Rating ranges
-AggregationBuilder ratingRanges = AggregationBuilders
-    .range("rating_ranges")
-    .field("rating")
-    .addRange("unrated", 0, 1)
-    .addRange("low", 1, 3)
-    .addRange("high", 4, 6);
-```

-## Data Migration Strategy
-
-### Pre-Migration Validation
-
-**Data Integrity Checks:**
-1. Count validation: Ensure all stories/authors/collections are present
-2. Field validation: Verify all required fields are populated
-3. Relationship validation: Check author-story and series-story relationships
-4. Library separation: Ensure proper multi-library data isolation
-
-**Migration Process:**
-
-1. **Index Creation:**
-```java
-// Create indexes with proper mappings for each library
-for (Library library : libraries) {
-    String storiesIndex = "stories-" + library.getId();
-    createIndexWithMapping(storiesIndex, getStoriesMapping());
-    createIndexWithMapping("authors-" + library.getId(), getAuthorsMapping());
-    createIndexWithMapping("collections-" + library.getId(), getCollectionsMapping());
-}
-```
-
-2. **Bulk Data Loading:**
-```java
-// Load in batches to manage memory usage
-int batchSize = 1000;
-List<Story> allStories = storyService.findByLibraryId(libraryId);
-
-for (int i = 0; i < allStories.size(); i += batchSize) {
-    List<Story> batch = allStories.subList(i, Math.min(i + batchSize, allStories.size()));
-    List<StoryDocument> documents = batch.stream()
-        .map(this::convertToSearchDocument)
-        .collect(Collectors.toList());
-
-    bulkIndexStories(documents, "stories-" + libraryId);
-}
-```
-
-3. **Post-Migration Validation:**
-   - Count comparison between database and OpenSearch
-   - Spot-check random records for field accuracy
-   - Test search functionality with known queries
-   - Verify faceting counts match expected values
-
-### Rollback Strategy
-
-**Immediate Rollback Triggers:**
-- Search error rate > 1%
-- Query performance degradation > 50%
-- Data inconsistency detected
-- Memory usage > 4GB sustained
-
-**Rollback Process:**
-1. Update feature flag to disable OpenSearch
-2. Verify Typesense still operational
-3. Clear OpenSearch indexes to free resources
-4. Investigate and document issues
-
-**Data Consistency During Rollback:**
-- Continue dual-write during investigation
-- Re-sync any missed updates to OpenSearch
-- Validate data integrity before retry
-
----
-
-## Testing Strategy
-
-### Unit Tests
-
-**OpenSearchService Unit Tests:**
-```java
-@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
-class OpenSearchServiceTest {
-    @Mock private OpenSearchClient client;
-    @InjectMocks private OpenSearchService service;
-
-    @Test
-    void testSearchStoriesBasicQuery() {
-        // Mock OpenSearch response
-        // Test basic search functionality
-    }
-
-    @Test
-    void testComplexFilterQuery() {
-        // Test complex boolean query building
-    }
-
-    @Test
-    void testRandomStorySelection() {
-        // Test random query with seed
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Query Builder Tests:**
-- Test all 15+ filter conditions
-- Validate query structure and parameters
-- Test edge cases and null handling
-
-### Integration Tests
-
-**Full Search Integration:**
-```java
-@SpringBootTest
-@Testcontainers
-class OpenSearchIntegrationTest {
-    @Container
-    static OpenSearchContainer opensearch = new OpenSearchContainer("opensearchproject/opensearch:2.11.0");
-
-    @Test
-    void testEndToEndStorySearch() {
-        // Insert test data
-        // Perform search via controller
-        // Validate results
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Performance Tests
-
-**Load Testing Scenarios:**
-1. **Concurrent Search Load:**
-   - 50 concurrent users performing searches
-   - Mixed query complexity
-   - Duration: 10 minutes
-
-2. **Bulk Indexing Performance:**
-   - Index 10,000 stories in batches
-   - Measure throughput and memory usage
-
-3. **Random Query Performance:**
-   - 1000 random story requests with different seeds
-   - Compare with Typesense baseline
-
-### Acceptance Tests
-
-**Functional Requirements:**
-- All existing search functionality preserved
-- Random story selection improved reliability
-- Faceting accuracy maintained
-- Multi-library separation working
-
-**Performance Requirements:**
-- Search response time < 100ms for 95th percentile
-- Random story selection < 50ms
-- Index update operations < 10ms
-- Memory usage < 2GB in production

+# Portable Text Editor Setup Instructions
+
+## Current Status
+
+⚠️ **Temporarily Reverted to Original Editor**
+
+Due to npm cache permission issues preventing Docker builds, I've temporarily reverted the imports back to `RichTextEditor`. The Portable Text implementation is complete and ready to activate once the npm issue is resolved.
+
+## Files Ready for Portable Text
+
+- ✅ `PortableTextEditor.tsx` - Complete implementation
+- ✅ `schema.ts` - Portable Text schema
+- ✅ `conversion.ts` - HTML ↔ Portable Text conversion
+- ✅ `package.json.with-portabletext` - Updated dependencies
+
+## Docker Build Issue Resolution
+
+The error `npm ci` requires `package-lock.json` but npm cache permissions prevent generating it.
+
+### Solution Steps:
+
+1. **Fix npm permissions:**
+```bash
+sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm
+```
+
+2. **Switch to Portable Text setup:**
+```bash
+cd frontend
+mv package.json package.json.original
+mv package.json.with-portabletext package.json
+npm install  # This will generate package-lock.json
+```
+
+3. **Update component imports** (change RichTextEditor → PortableTextEditor):
+```typescript
+// In src/app/add-story/page.tsx and src/app/stories/[id]/edit/page.tsx
+import PortableTextEditor from '../../components/stories/PortableTextEditor';
+// And update the JSX to use <PortableTextEditor ... />
+```
+
+4. **Build and test:**
+```bash
+npm run build
+docker-compose build
+```
+
+## Implementation Complete
+
+✅ **Portable Text Schema** - Defines formatting options matching the original editor
+✅ **HTML ↔ Portable Text Conversion** - Seamless conversion between formats
+✅ **Sanitization Integration** - Uses existing sanitization strategy
+✅ **Component Replacement** - PortableTextEditor replaces RichTextEditor
+✅ **Image Processing** - Maintains existing image processing functionality
+✅ **Toolbar** - All formatting buttons from original editor
+✅ **Keyboard Shortcuts** - Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I, Ctrl+Shift+1-6
+
+## Features Maintained
+
+### 1. **Formatting Options**
+- Bold, Italic, Underline, Strike, Code
+- Headings H1-H6
+- Paragraphs and Blockquotes
+- All original toolbar buttons
+
+### 2. **Visual & HTML Modes**
+- Visual mode: Structured Portable Text editing
+- HTML mode: Direct HTML editing (fallback)
+- Live preview in HTML mode
+
+### 3. **Image Processing**
+- Existing image processing pipeline maintained
+- Background image download and conversion
+- Processing status indicators
+- Warning system
+
+### 4. **Paste Handling**
+- Rich text paste from websites
+- Image processing during paste
+- HTML sanitization
+- Structured content conversion
+
+### 5. **Maximization & Resizing**
+- Fullscreen editing mode
+- Resizable editor height
+- Keyboard shortcuts (Escape to exit)
+
+## Benefits of Portable Text
+
+1. **Structured Content** - Content is stored as JSON, not just HTML
+2. **Future-Proof** - Easy to export/migrate content
+3. **Better Search** - Structured content works better with Typesense
+4. **Extensible** - Easy to add custom block types (images, etc.)
+5. **Sanitization** - Inherently safer than HTML parsing
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Install the npm packages using one of the methods above
+2. Test the editor functionality
+3. Verify image processing works correctly
+4. Optional: Add custom image block types for enhanced image handling
+
+## File Structure
+
+```
+frontend/src/
+├── components/stories/
+│   ├── PortableTextEditor.tsx      # New editor component
+│   └── RichTextEditor.tsx          # Original (can be removed after testing)
+├── lib/portabletext/
+│   ├── schema.ts                   # Portable Text schema and types
+│   └── conversion.ts               # HTML ↔ Portable Text conversion
+└── app/
+    ├── add-story/page.tsx          # Updated to use PortableTextEditor
+    └── stories/[id]/edit/page.tsx  # Updated to use PortableTextEditor
+```
+
+The implementation is backward compatible and maintains all existing functionality while providing the benefits of structured content editing.

+# Solr Library Separation Migration Guide
+
+This guide explains how to migrate existing StoryCove deployments to support proper library separation in Solr search.
+
+## What Changed
+
+The Solr service has been enhanced to support multi-tenant library separation by:
+- Adding a `libraryId` field to all Solr documents
+- Filtering all search queries by the current library context
+- Ensuring complete data isolation between libraries
+
+## Migration Options
+
+### Option 1: Docker Volume Reset (Recommended for Docker)
+
+**Best for**: Development, staging, and Docker-based deployments where data loss is acceptable.
+
+```bash
+# Stop the application
+docker-compose down
+
+# Remove only the Solr data volume (preserves database and images)
+docker volume rm storycove_solr_data
+
+# Restart - Solr will recreate cores with new schema
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Wait for services to start, then trigger reindex via admin panel
+```
+
+**Pros**: Clean, simple, guaranteed to work
+**Cons**: Requires downtime, loses existing search index
+
+### Option 2: Schema API Migration (Production Safe)
+
+**Best for**: Production environments where you need to preserve uptime.
+
+**Method A: Automatic (Recommended)**
+```bash
+# Single endpoint that adds field and migrates data
+curl -X POST "http://your-app-host/api/admin/search/solr/migrate-library-schema" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN"
+```
+
+**Method B: Manual Steps**
+```bash
+# Step 1: Add libraryId field via app API
+curl -X POST "http://your-app-host/api/admin/search/solr/add-library-field" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN"
+
+# Step 2: Run migration
+curl -X POST "http://your-app-host/api/admin/search/solr/migrate-library-schema" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN"
+```
+
+**Method C: Direct Solr API (if app API fails)**
+```bash
+# Add libraryId field to stories core
+curl -X POST "http://your-solr-host:8983/solr/storycove_stories/schema" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "add-field": {
+      "name": "libraryId",
+      "type": "string",
+      "indexed": true,
+      "stored": true,
+      "required": false
+    }
+  }'
+
+# Add libraryId field to authors core
+curl -X POST "http://your-solr-host:8983/solr/storycove_authors/schema" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "add-field": {
+      "name": "libraryId",
+      "type": "string",
+      "indexed": true,
+      "stored": true,
+      "required": false
+    }
+  }'
+
+# Then run the migration
+curl -X POST "http://your-app-host/api/admin/search/solr/migrate-library-schema" \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN"
+```
+
+**Pros**: No downtime, preserves service availability, automatic field addition
+**Cons**: Requires API access
+
+### Option 3: Application-Level Migration (Recommended for Production)
+
+**Best for**: Production environments with proper admin access.
+
+1. **Deploy the code changes** to your environment
+2. **Access the admin panel** of your application
+3. **Navigate to search settings**
+4. **Use the "Migrate Library Schema" button** or API endpoint:
+   ```
+   POST /api/admin/search/solr/migrate-library-schema
+   ```
+
+**Pros**: User-friendly, handles all complexity internally
+**Cons**: Requires admin access to application
+
+## Step-by-Step Migration Process
+
+### For Docker Deployments
+
+1. **Backup your data** (optional but recommended):
+   ```bash
+   # Backup database
+   docker-compose exec postgres pg_dump -U storycove storycove > backup.sql
+   ```
+
+2. **Pull the latest code** with library separation fixes
+
+3. **Choose migration approach**:
+   - **Quick & Clean**: Use Option 1 (volume reset)
+   - **Production**: Use Option 2 or 3
+
+4. **Verify migration**:
+   - Log in with different library passwords
+   - Perform searches to confirm isolation
+   - Check that new content gets indexed with library IDs
+
+### For Kubernetes/Production Deployments
+
+1. **Update your deployment** with the new container images
+
+2. **Add the libraryId field** to Solr schema using Option 2
+
+3. **Use the migration endpoint** (Option 3):
+   ```bash
+   kubectl exec -it deployment/storycove-backend -- \
+     curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/admin/search/solr/migrate-library-schema
+   ```
+
+4. **Monitor logs** for successful migration
+
+## Verification Steps
+
+After migration, verify that library separation is working:
+
+1. **Test with multiple libraries**:
+   - Log in with Library A password
+   - Add/search content
+   - Log in with Library B password
+   - Confirm Library A content is not visible
+
+2. **Check Solr directly** (if accessible):
+   ```bash
+   # Should show documents with libraryId field
+   curl "http://solr:8983/solr/storycove_stories/select?q=*:*&fl=id,title,libraryId&rows=5"
+   ```
+
+3. **Monitor application logs** for any library separation errors
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "unknown field 'libraryId'" Error
+
+**Problem**: `ERROR: [doc=xxx] unknown field 'libraryId'`
+
+**Cause**: The Solr schema doesn't have the libraryId field yet.
+
+**Solutions**:
+
+1. **Use the automated migration** (adds field automatically):
+   ```bash
+   curl -X POST "http://your-app/api/admin/search/solr/migrate-library-schema"
+   ```
+
+2. **Add field manually first**:
+   ```bash
+   # Add field via app API
+   curl -X POST "http://your-app/api/admin/search/solr/add-library-field"
+
+   # Then run migration
+   curl -X POST "http://your-app/api/admin/search/solr/migrate-library-schema"
+   ```
+
+3. **Direct Solr API** (if app API fails):
+   ```bash
+   # Add to both cores
+   curl -X POST "http://solr:8983/solr/storycove_stories/schema" \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"add-field":{"name":"libraryId","type":"string","indexed":true,"stored":true}}'
+
+   curl -X POST "http://solr:8983/solr/storycove_authors/schema" \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"add-field":{"name":"libraryId","type":"string","indexed":true,"stored":true}}'
+   ```
+
+4. **For development**: Use Option 1 (volume reset) for clean restart
+
+### Migration Endpoint Returns Error
+
+Common causes:
+- Solr is not available (check connectivity)
+- No active library context (ensure user is authenticated)
+- Insufficient permissions (check JWT token/authentication)
+
+### Search Results Still Mixed
+
+This indicates incomplete migration:
+- Clear all Solr data and reindex completely
+- Verify that all documents have libraryId field
+- Check that search queries include library filters
+
+## Environment-Specific Notes
+
+### Development
+- Use Option 1 (volume reset) for simplicity
+- Data loss is acceptable in dev environments
+
+### Staging
+- Use Option 2 or 3 to test production migration procedures
+- Verify migration process before applying to production
+
+### Production
+- **Always backup data first**
+- Use Option 2 (Schema API) or Option 3 (Admin endpoint)
+- Plan for brief performance impact during reindexing
+- Monitor system resources during bulk reindexing
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Reindexing time**: Depends on data size (typically 1000 docs/second)
+- **Memory usage**: May increase during bulk indexing
+- **Search performance**: Minimal impact from library filtering
+- **Storage**: Slight increase due to libraryId field
+
+## Rollback Plan
+
+If issues occur:
+
+1. **Immediate**: Restart Solr to previous state (if using Option 1)
+2. **Schema revert**: Remove libraryId field via Schema API
+3. **Code rollback**: Deploy previous version without library separation
+4. **Data restore**: Restore from backup if necessary
+
+This migration enables proper multi-tenant isolation while maintaining search performance and functionality.

-
-## ✅ Best Practices Implemented
-
-### 🔒 **Security**
-- **Environment-Aware SSL Configuration**
-  - Production: Full certificate validation with custom truststore support
-  - Development: Optional certificate validation for local development
-- **Proper Authentication**: Basic auth with secure credential management
-- **Connection Security**: TLS 1.3 support with hostname verification
-
-### 🏗️ **Configuration Management**
-- **Externalized Configuration**: JSON/YAML files instead of hardcoded values
-- **Environment-Specific Settings**: Different configs for dev/staging/prod
-- **Type-Safe Properties**: Strongly-typed configuration classes
-- **Validation**: Configuration validation at startup
-
-### 📈 **Scalability & Performance**
-- **Connection Pooling**: Configurable connection pool with timeout management
-- **Environment-Aware Sharding**:
-  - Development: 1 shard, 0 replicas (single node)
-  - Production: 3 shards, 1 replica (high availability)
-- **Bulk Operations**: Optimized bulk indexing with configurable batch sizes
-- **Index Templates**: Automatic application of settings to new indexes
-
-### 🔄 **Index Lifecycle Management**
-- **Automated Index Rollover**: Based on size, document count, and age
-- **Hot-Warm-Cold Architecture**: Optimized storage costs
-- **Retention Policies**: Automatic cleanup of old data
-- **Force Merge**: Optimization in warm phase
-
-### 📊 **Monitoring & Observability**
-- **Health Checks**: Automatic cluster health monitoring
-- **Spring Boot Actuator**: Health endpoints for monitoring systems
-- **Metrics Collection**: Configurable performance metrics
-- **Slow Query Detection**: Configurable thresholds for query performance
-
-### 🛡️ **Error Handling & Resilience**
-- **Connection Retry Logic**: Automatic retry with backoff
-- **Circuit Breaker Pattern**: Fail-fast for unhealthy clusters
-- **Graceful Degradation**: Graceful handling when OpenSearch unavailable
-- **Detailed Error Logging**: Comprehensive error tracking
-
-## 🚀 Usage
-
-### Development Environment
-```yaml
-# application-development.yml
-storycove:
-  opensearch:
-    profile: development
-    security:
-      ssl-verification: false
-      trust-all-certificates: true
-    indices:
-      default-shards: 1
-      default-replicas: 0
-```
-
-### Production Environment
-```yaml
-# application-production.yml
-storycove:
-  opensearch:
-    profile: production
-    security:
-      ssl-verification: true
-      trust-all-certificates: false
-      truststore-path: /etc/ssl/opensearch-truststore.jks
-    indices:
-      default-shards: 3
-      default-replicas: 1
-```
-
-## 📋 Environment Variables
-
-### Required
-- `OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD`: Admin password for OpenSearch cluster
-
-### Optional (with sensible defaults)
-- `OPENSEARCH_HOST`: Cluster hostname (default: localhost)
-- `OPENSEARCH_PORT`: Cluster port (default: 9200)
-- `OPENSEARCH_USERNAME`: Admin username (default: admin)
-- `OPENSEARCH_SSL_VERIFICATION`: Enable SSL verification (default: false for dev)
-- `OPENSEARCH_MAX_CONN_TOTAL`: Max connections (default: 30 for dev, 200 for prod)
-
-## 🎯 Index Templates
-
-Index templates automatically apply configuration to new indexes:
-
-```json
-{
-  "index_patterns": ["stories_*"],
-  "template": {
-    "settings": {
-      "number_of_shards": "#{ENV_SPECIFIC}",
-      "analysis": {
-        "analyzer": {
-          "story_analyzer": {
-            "type": "standard",
-            "stopwords": "_english_"
-          }
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## 🔍 Health Monitoring
-
-Access health information:
-- **Application Health**: `/actuator/health`
-- **OpenSearch Specific**: `/actuator/health/opensearch`
-- **Detailed Metrics**: Available when `enable-metrics: true`
-
-## 🔄 Deployment Strategy
-
-Recommended deployment approach:
-
-1. **Development**: Test OpenSearch configuration locally
-2. **Staging**: Validate performance and accuracy in staging environment
-3. **Production**: Deploy with proper monitoring and backup procedures
-
-## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-1. **SSL Certificate Errors**
-   - Development: Set `trust-all-certificates: true`
-   - Production: Provide valid truststore path
-
-2. **Connection Timeouts**
-   - Increase `connection.timeout` values
-   - Check network connectivity and firewall rules
-
-3. **Index Creation Failures**
-   - Verify cluster health with `/actuator/health/opensearch`
-   - Check OpenSearch logs for detailed error messages
-
-4. **Performance Issues**
-   - Monitor slow queries with configurable thresholds
-   - Adjust bulk operation settings
-   - Review shard allocation and replica settings
-
-## 🔮 Future Enhancements
-
-- **Multi-Cluster Support**: Connect to multiple OpenSearch clusters
-- **Advanced Security**: Integration with OpenSearch Security plugin
-- **Custom Analyzers**: Domain-specific text analysis
-- **Index Aliases**: Zero-downtime index updates
-- **Machine Learning**: Integration with OpenSearch ML features
-
