feat: /search/book endpoint for full Open Library book descriptions#9
Merged
Conversation
Adds GET /search/book?url=<openlibrary work url>, which fetches the work's
JSON and returns its full prose `description` (handling both the plain
string and {type, value} object shapes Open Library uses). The frontend
calls this lazily when a user selects a book, upgrading the thin
author+year placeholder to a real synopsis. URL is constrained to
openlibrary.org/works to avoid acting as a generic SSRF proxy.
