…ta searches Google aggressively rate-limits unauthenticated requests to the Books API, causing empty results for many users. This adds a global config field for a Google Books API key (Admin → Configuration) that is appended to search requests when set, restoring reliable metadata results. - config_sql.py: add config_google_api_key column (auto-migrated on startup) - admin.py: persist the new field on config save - config_edit.html: add API key input with help text near Hardcover/Goodreads - google.py: append &key= to search URL when key is configured - tests: add unit tests covering key present, absent, and empty cases Fixes crocodilestick#993
