Critical Findings Summary

🚨 CRITICAL (Must Fix)

1. Collections Search Not Implemented
   • Location: CollectionService.java:56-61
   • Impact: GET /api/collections always returns empty results
   • Specification: storycove-collections-spec.md lines 52-61 mandates Solr search
   • Estimated Fix: 4-6 hours
   • Steps:
     1. Create Solr Collections core with schema
     2. Implement indexing in SearchServiceAdapter
     3. Wire up CollectionService.searchCollections()
     4. Test pagination and filtering

⚠️ HIGH Priority (Recommended)

2. Missing Test Coverage (~25% vs target 80%)

   • HtmlSanitizationServiceTest - security critical
   • CollectionServiceTest - feature verification
   • TagServiceTest - complex logic (aliases, merge)
   • EPUBImportServiceTest, EPUBExportServiceTest - file processing

3. API Documentation Updates

   • Advanced filters not fully documented
   • EPUB endpoints missing from API.md

📋 MEDIUM Priority (Optional)

4. SearchController Minimal

   • Only has reindex and health check
   • Actual search in StoryController

5. Frontend Test Coverage

   • No component tests
   • No integration tests
   • Recommend: Jest + React Testing Library
