Lucas WintherandClaude Opus 5.5 dd2d5a94bc docs: approve spec 001; self-hosted Bun server, defer password gate
The user signed off the spec. The server runs self-hosted under Bun;
the password gate and the Cloudflare Workers entry stay designed but
deferred until abuse or traffic calls for them.

Architecture

How mangabaka-seeder is built today. Update in the same commit as any structural change.

Overview

No code exists yet. The design is in specs/001-webtoons-covers.md: one pure TypeScript core (src/core/) that turns a MangaBaka series link and a Webtoons series link into a cover submission, used by three front ends — a static page served by a small self-hosted Bun server (primary), a userscript, and later a Bun CLI. Replace this section with reality as modules land.

Map (planned — spec §4)

Path Responsibility
src/core/ Pure pipeline: sources, Wayback history, image inspection, dedupe, seed, MangaBaka client. No DOM, Bun, Node or GM_* APIs.
src/web/ Static page UI.
src/server/ Web-standard fetch handler (app.ts) run by bun.ts (Bun.serve, behind our reverse proxy). Static assets, /api/fetch allowlisted proxy, /api/upload. Gate and Workers entry deferred.
src/userscript/ Userscript on mangabaka.org; network via GM_xmlhttpRequest.
src/cli/ Later: Bun CLI.
test/fixtures/ Saved real responses; tests never hit the network.

Data flow

Links → series id + source.resolve → current + Wayback candidates → inspect (bytes, size, sha256) → dedupe against MangaBaka → seed → user reviews → rehost (explicit) → submit or manual entry.

External dependencies

Service Reached via If unavailable
api.mangabaka.org direct (CORS open) Nothing works.
Webtoons HTML / swebtoon-phinf.pstatic.net server proxy or GM_xmlhttpRequest Nothing works.
Wayback (web.archive.org) same Warning; current covers only.
Server storage (S3-compatible bucket) server server host hidden; litterbox/catbox/direct still work.
litterbox / catbox browser directly (litterbox), server or GM_xmlhttpRequest (catbox) That host fails; others still work.

Invariants

  • src/core/ never imports from web/, server/, userscript/ or cli/.
  • The MangaBaka token is only ever sent to api.mangabaka.org, never through our server.
  • Nothing is uploaded or submitted without an explicit user action; saves use save_mode: "review".
  • /api/fetch only fetches allowlisted hosts; /api/upload only takes a source URL, never bytes.

Known rough edges
