Fixed

• Non-latin author names now match usenet releases (#380) — authors whose names are written in a non-latin script (e.g. Japanese, Chinese, Arabic) have an ASCII surname of "" after tokenisation, so every release was filtered out as irrelevant. Bindery now fetches the author's OpenLibrary alternate_names on first add, saves any ASCII-script aliases to author_aliases, and includes those aliases when building the surname candidate list for release matching.
• Import no longer stalls indefinitely on NFS timeouts (#381) — the file-copy path used bare io.Copy with no cancellation. On an NFS stall the goroutine blocked forever and the download record stayed locked in importing state. Each import now runs under a 30-minute context timeout; copies run in a goroutine and respect cancellation, closing both file descriptors to help the kernel unblock the stalled call.
• Wanted filter no longer shows unmonitored books (#382) — the Books page Wanted status filter matched status === 'wanted' without checking monitored, so books explicitly set to "don't monitor" appeared alongside genuinely wanted titles. The filter now requires monitored === true when the Wanted status is active.
• Recommender language filter applied to candidates (#359) — hardFilter removed owned, dismissed, and excluded-author candidates but never checked language. Users with a preferred language set would receive foreign-language recommendations. Candidates whose Language field differs from PreferredLanguage are now filtered out; candidates with an empty language tag pass through so missing metadata doesn't silently hide results.
• Recommender recency score anchored to library median year (#357) — recencyScore used time.Now().Year() as its reference point, penalising any book published before ~2005 regardless of the user's actual reading taste. The score is now relative to the median publication year of the user's library (computed in BuildProfile). Window widened from 20 → 30 years, floor lowered from 0.3 → 0.1, and weightRecency bumped from 0.10 → 0.15 to give the era-relative signal more influence.

Changed

• CI: parallel validate jobs and reduced friction — the validate job split into validate-go (race-detector tests) and validate-frontend (npm build) running in parallel, cutting PR critical-path time from ~253 s to ~180 s. golangci-lint and govulncheck removed from the security workflow's sast-go job (both already run in lint). BuildKit GHA layer-cache added to container scans. Security workflow now skips doc-only changes via paths-ignore. Kubesec and Dockle removed (output was silently discarded). Discord release announcements now posted automatically on tag push.
