The reader polled /api/state every 15 s; each call rebuilt the scraper's library
summary when it was over 60 s old, reading every chapter.json (on the NAS about
5,300 opens / 16,000 NFS calls and 1.3 s CPU per walk, once a minute, plus 115 KB
per poll). The reader now polls GET /api/revision (falls back to /api/state on an
older scraper), and the summary is rebuilt after a library change or after 15
minutes. Release-date writes invalidate it too.
