Bridge v0.6.0

Bridge v0.6.0 (ships with AudioSilo server 2.6.0)

• Audible accounts on the Bridge. The Accounts tab signs in to one or more Audible accounts: choose the store, open Amazon's sign-in and paste back the page it returns to. Choose the person and books library each account belongs to. Credentials stay sealed on the Bridge; the server gets the account mapping and title list. The console's Settings > Audible shows which titles are already here, contested matches and why a title couldn't be backed up.
• Back up your Audible purchases into your library. Choose Back up on a title or Back up everything in the console. The Bridge downloads it, saves an M4B without re-encoding the audio, keeps the chapters and asks the server to index it. It follows your existing series folders, or uses a placement template or destination you choose, and never overwrites an existing file. The title list previews the destination and warns when it's taken.
• Back up future purchases automatically. Choose every new book, new books in series you have, or only books you choose. Policies cover purchases first seen after the policy began; the first account check is a baseline, so it doesn't download the whole existing account. A requested preorder waits for release.
• Sync listening places with Audible. Turn it on per account in the server's Account settings. About every 15 minutes the Bridge brings forward Audible places that are further on. About three to four minutes after you stop listening here, it sends your place to Audible, unless Audible has a newer place further on. Don't sync excludes a title. Places move, but Audible listening doesn't add to AudioSilo's history or stats.
• A known sync limitation: the Audible app can still resume at an older place after the Bridge reports a successful push. Reassertion after Audible overwrites it is deferred; see #51.
• More careful matching. An ASIN wins first; title/author matching also checks series numbers, and competing titles show which local book they claimed. Ambiguous titles aren't backed up automatically. The console can show where an unmatched title would go, so you can settle it before asking for a backup.
• More reliable Audible sign-in and errors. The Bridge registers a current Audible device profile, redacts sensitive error details and ignores placeholder release dates more than two years ahead. An account with the older profile, or one Audible refuses for downloads, asks you to Sign in again on the Accounts tab.

Update the image (ghcr.io/kodestar/audiosilo-bridge) to v0.6.0 alongside server 2.6.0 for Audible: the new job parameters and progress feed need both. Turn on the server's Audible module to check accounts, and map the account's library as writable for backups. Place sync starts off for every account. These jobs don't need an AI agent.

The Bridge now handles the Audible work previously done by the archived desktop manager. Existing files remain ordinary books in your library.

Making read-alongs still needs Bridge v0.5.0 or later and server 2.5.1 or later. Following them in the player arrives with player 2.6.0; use server 2.6.0 for this release's player features. Older Bridges keep working for their previous jobs, without the new Audible features.
