fix(api): validate audiobook metadata writes - #2460
Conversation
WalkthroughAudiobook metadata and cover-image writes now use a shared backup, commit, validation, and restoration path. Regression tests cover corrupted output for both write operations. ChangesAudiobook write recovery
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR adds validation and restoration for failed audiobook metadata writes, but its fixed backup file can be overwritten by a later or concurrent write, potentially destroying the only valid recovery copy and leaving a corrupted audiobook in place. This should be fixed before merging. Suggested labels: Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Learning: For this codebase (booklore-api), target Java 25 with `--enable-preview`, so `_` is intentionally used as an unnamed/ignored variable (e.g., lambda parameter or pattern variable) per Java’s preview feature JEP 456. Do not flag `_` in those contexts as an invalid/reserved identifier; only flag it if it’s used in a non-supported position (e.g., where an unnamed variable is not applicable for the Java preview rules).

Do not overwrite a retained recovery backup.
Line 148 replaces an existing .bak file. If restoration fails after a corrupted commit, that backup can be the only copy of the original audiobook. A later write replaces it with the corrupted current file. A later failure then cannot restore the original audiobook.
The fixed backup name also lets concurrent writes for the same audiobook overwrite or delete each other’s recovery file. Reserve a unique backup per operation, or serialize writes per normalized audiobook path. Preserve an existing recovery backup until an explicit recovery decision removes it.

Cover each guarded recovery condition.
These tests only make the post-commit AudioFileIO.read call fail. Add tests for a null audio header, a zero track length, a thrown AudioFile.commit(), and a restoration copy failure that retains the backup. These cases are required by the guarded-write contract.

Description
Protect audiobook files from silent corruption during embedded metadata and cover-art writes.
After committing a change, Grimmory now re-opens the audiobook and verifies that it has a valid header and positive audio duration. If committing or validation fails, Grimmory restores the original file from its backup.

Manual Testing Steps

The underlying MP4 track-loss bug is addressed in [jaudiotagger PR #13](RouHim/jaudiotagger#13). This PR adds an independent safety boundary in Grimmory so a metadata-library failure cannot silently replace a valid audiobook.
