Bug fixes

• Docker: bcrypt native addon — rebuild bcrypt after pnpm deploy so the compiled binding is present
• Docker: Prisma client generation — run prisma generate on startup to create the platform-specific query engine
• Docker: workspace package builds — compile @chapter/types, @chapter/utils, and @chapter/epub-parser to JS before deploy
• Docker: SQLite table creation — always run prisma db push instead of relying on migrate deploy (which no-ops with no migrations directory)
• Server: empty JSON body — accept POST requests with Content-Type: application/json but no body (fixes folder scan 400 error)
• Web: API client — only set Content-Type: application/json when a request body is present
• Web: button wrapping — prevent text wrapping on Watched Folders header buttons

Switch from PostgreSQL to SQLite

This release simplifies deployment by removing the PostgreSQL dependency entirely. Prisma 6's native SQLite Json field support makes this possible.

Changes

• Prisma 5 → 6: Upgraded to Prisma 6.2+ for native SQLite Json field support
• SQLite provider: Switched database from PostgreSQL to SQLite (file:/app/data/chapter.db)
• Simplified Docker: Removed postgres service — deployment is now 5 services instead of 6
• Smaller image: Removed OpenSSL dependency from server Docker image
• Bug workaround: Explicit tags: [] on UserBook creation to avoid Prisma #26571

Migration

Existing PostgreSQL data is not automatically migrated. For fresh installs, docker compose up -d works out of the box. The entrypoint uses prisma db push to create the SQLite schema on first run.

Breaking Changes

• DATABASE_URL now expects a SQLite connection string (file:./path/to/db) instead of a PostgreSQL URL
• The postgres Docker service has been removed from both production and development compose files
