What

Add functional UI to the plugin — a "Lessons" page in Jellyfin that lists available lessons.

Implement:

A custom REST API endpoint (LessonsController : ControllerBase) at /Plugins/Lessons/List that returns lesson summaries (id, title, grade, subject, date, description)
A plugin config page (IPluginConfigurationPage) that injects a "Lessons" nav entry into Jellyfin's sidebar
The config page HTML/JS displays the lesson list fetched from the API, grouped by grade/subject
Each lesson entry is clickable (stub for now — will navigate to lesson detail in a future issue)

Acceptance

Plugin appears in Jellyfin's sidebar as "Lessons"
Clicking it shows a page listing lessons grouped by grade
Lessons are fetched from the SQLite store via the LessonsController API
Works in Jellyfin web UI and Fire TV web client

Notes

Use the pattern from existing plugins like Bookshelf or Reports for adding pages. The IPluginConfigurationPage can return raw HTML. Keep it simple — no React framework, just server-rendered HTML with minimal JS for the lesson list.

The REST controller needs DI for LessonStore — register it via IPluginServiceRegistrator.
