A draft: true feature post for LibriVox in AudioSilo (the LibriVox plan's blog post 2, to publish with v2.7.0). Drafts are left out of the build, so this claims nothing until /blog release publishes it.

Before publishing at 2.7.0:

  • Publish only once the L6 PRs above have merged and shipped. Re-check the labels if their review changes the UI, and re-capture the stills if it does. (Merging this draft claims nothing, like the other 2.7.0 drafts on master.)
  • appliesTo says "a Bridge updated with them": put in the Bridge version that ships L6.
  • The docs link (/users/admin/librivox) is live once Add free books from LibriVox: user guide, developer docs and screenshots audiosilo-docs#303 merges.
  • Update librivox-community-metadata.md in place (revision entry): its limits and plans sections are out of date once 2.7.0 ships.
  • Device runs still owed on the PRs: the native "..." menu in the app and the LibriVox link on iOS and Android.

Gate: yarn build && yarn run check green.

A `draft: true` feature post for LibriVox in AudioSilo: Add from LibriVox in the
console's Library > LibriVox and the player's Find on LibriVox, run by the Bridge,
and Also free on LibriVox on a matched book's About card. Drafts are left out of
the build, so this claims nothing until the 2.7.0 release publishes it.

- New `src/content/blog/add-books-from-librivox.md`, checked against the docs
  page and the console, player and Bridge strings on the open branches.
- Two stills converted from the docs' generated screenshots
  (`admin/librivox.png`, `web-player/find-librivox.png`).
- `librivox-community-metadata.md`: the new slug in `related` (hidden while the
  draft is unpublished) and `server:librivox`, `app:librivox`, `bridge:librivox`
  in `covers`, so the release audit flags its "The limit, for now" and "What is
  planned next" sections for an in-place update.
…ueue claim

The metadata settings page is Community metadata in the console, and the
Recordings and Library names on Library > LibriVox are screen-reader labels
with no visible text, so the steps no longer bold them. The player's menu sits
in the Library's Books section and shows only while the Bridge is online.

An episode a listener is waiting for goes ahead of other downloads, so only
the episodes the server fetches by itself share the Bridge's one download at
a time with a LibriVox book. The retry button reads Add to <library> in the
player and in a one-library console, so the post no longer names it Add.
A cancel that lands after the Bridge has placed the book keeps the book, so the
post scopes the claim to cancelling while the sections download.
