Add a dedicated artwork cache directory and save embedded album art from audio tags during library scans. Prefer embedded artwork for album cover resolution while keeping sidecar image files as the fallback path.
Add a filesystem scanner that ingests supported audio files from MEDIA_ROOT into SQLite using embedded tags with filename fallbacks. Wire startup scanning, manual rescan, and authenticated audio streaming into the backend, then connect the web player to the real stream endpoint.
Bootstrap SQLite on server startup with embedded migrations and development seed data. Replace placeholder auth and library responses with database-backed services, bearer sessions, and repository-driven API handlers.
