Catalogue lookup — which books, headings, authors and shelves exist, not page text. `kind`: - book (default): titles, authors, publication lines, subject descriptions → book_ids, installed or not. no_title_match: not proof the book is held. downloaded:false → another edition (shamela_get_details(kind='book') same_group) or catalogue metadata only. - heading: chapter/section headings, i.e. where books treat a topic; open with shamela_read(unit='section', book_id, title_id). No hits = no heading carries the words: drop words or use shamela_search(match='words'). - author: names and biographies → author_id, Hijri death year, book count; no scope. Empty is not absence: retry kunya, nisba or shuhra (ابن قدامة / الموفق / المقدسي). - category: the 41 flat shelves with catalogue and installed counts → scope.category_ids. A subject spans ids (Qur'anic studies 3 tafsir, 4 Qur'anic sciences/usul al-tafsir, 5 tajwid/qira'at; fiqh 14–17 by madhab): pass all that apply. downloaded_only:true when choosing shelves to search or read. - work: verify a cited title (optional author, edition); refuses rather than guesses; catalogue only, text need not be installed. - name: fuzzy best guess over book/author names, for an id; always answers, so never use it to verify a citation. - period: books by Hijri window, bounds ANDed (scope.period_* on searches unions them). Rules: a parameter of another kind is refused; book/heading/author/period page with limit/offset until has_more is false. Instead: page text → shamela_search; a printed page → shamela_cite(mode='printed_page'); one book's headings → shamela_read(unit='toc').
