Part of #2 (REST API tracker). Design:
docs/rest-api.md. Depends on #2a foundation.Slice #2b — Collections.
POST /api/collections·GET /api/collections·GET /api/collections/{id}·PUT /api/collections/{id}·DELETE /api/collections/{id}.POST /api/collections/{id}/items·DELETE /api/collections/{id}/items/{mediaItemId}.CreateCollection/UpdateCollection/DeleteCollection/AddItemsToCollection/RemoveItemsFromCollection(allEither<BaseError, _>; name-uniqueness + length already in handlers).Standardization (test-before/after): retrofit the existing non-idiomatic
SmartCollectionController(/api/collections/smart/new|update|delete/{id}) to the idiomatic shape, with characterization tests capturing current behavior first, then change, then prove green.Tests: handler unit (success + 404/422), controller mapping, create→read→add-item→remove-item→delete EF integration.
Progress update:

Done
What was done: Implemented REST API #2b for collections: collection CRUD, collection item add/remove, and idiomatic REST smart-collection routes under
/api/smart-collections. Reused the #2a patterns forApiResults,NotFoundError, class-levelApiKeyAuthorizationFilter, and request DTO to command mapping. Added handler, controller/security, and in-memory SQLite lifecycle tests.Root cause: n/a; feature slice. During verification, existing
CustomStreamSelectorTestshad unpinned Sunday-first culture assumptions, so those tests were stabilized and Monday-first coverage was added.Files changed: API controllers/request DTOs, collection/smart-collection handlers,
ApiResultstest coverage, collection controller/security/integration tests,CustomStreamSelectorTests, and generated OpenAPI atErsatzTV/wwwroot/openapi/v1.json.Verification: Local
dotnet build ErsatzTV.sln -v normalpassed with 0 warnings/errors. LocalTZ=UTC dotnet test ErsatzTV.sln -v normalpassed. PR CI run 172 on82f3a1e633a1706c069332f51dcb1c659b27d748passed Build & test and EF migration integrity; image job skipped as expected for PR.Deferred: Non-blocking follow-up candidate: OpenAPI currently documents 404/422 bodies as
ProblemDetailswhile the #2aApiResultsconvention returns plain error values. This is inherited from the existing pattern and not blocking this slice.Follow-up issues: server-management#492 was created for the Codex
