Endpoint details

Searches the crawled public Goodreads author profile index. Authors are discovered as a byproduct of the books crawl (every credited book contributor, plus the genre/search/list seed sources) — not a full catalog. Sort enum: `relevance`, `rating_desc`, `reviews_desc`, `name_asc`. Dataset endpoints are built for repeatable structured search, facets, geo queries, pagination, and item lookup over indexed records. They do not trigger live scraping or proxy routing.
