Bug Fixes

Failure tracking and conversion log never triggered (#17)

Audiobookshelf removes encode tasks from /api/tasks as soon as they end — on success and on failure. The app only polled that task list and waited for isFailed / isFinished tasks that never appear there. As a result:

• failures.json (FAILURE_PERSIST_PATH) was never written and repeatedly failing books were converted endlessly
• the conversion log (CONVERSION_LOG_PATH, added in v1.6.0) stayed empty

Fix: conversion outcomes are now detected from the item's file state instead of the task list. Once a conversion started by this app is no longer active, the item is checked directly:

• a single .m4b file → success → conversion log entry is written
• still multiple audio files → failure → failure counter is incremented, failures.json is written, and after MAX_CONVERSION_FAILURES attempts the book is skipped

Known limitation: only conversions started by this app are tracked. If the container restarts while a conversion is running, that attempt's outcome is not counted.
