- **Names not highlighting:** Confirm `subtitleStyle.nameMatchEnabled` is `true`. Check that the current media has an AniList entry - SubMiner needs a media ID to fetch characters.
|
||||
- **Inline portraits missing:** Confirm `subtitleStyle.nameMatchImagesEnabled` is `true`. On the next character dictionary sync, SubMiner refreshes current-version snapshots that do not contain usable cached character portrait data. Portraits still require AniList to return an image and the image download to succeed.
|
||||
- **Sync seems stuck:** The auto-sync debounces for 800ms after media changes and throttles image downloads at 250ms per image. Large casts (50+ characters) take longer. Check the status bar for the current sync phase.
|
||||
- **Wrong characters showing:** Open the in-app character dictionary manager (`Ctrl/Cmd+D`) to remove/reorder loaded titles, then use **Override** to correct the active AniList match. You can also run `--dictionary-candidates`, then save the correct media with `--dictionary-select --dictionary-anilist-id <id>`. SubMiner ignores character entries from other loaded titles for subtitle name matching and inline portraits once the current media ID is known.

SubMiner is a desktop app that draws an interactive layer — an **overlay** — on top of the [mpv](https://mpv.io) video player. As you watch native Japanese media, you can click or hover any word in the subtitles to look it up, then turn it into an Anki flashcard without pausing to switch apps. Building flashcards from real content you're watching is called **sentence mining**, and it's what SubMiner is built for. It bundles its own copy of **Yomitan** (a pop-up dictionary) and talks to **AnkiConnect** (an add-on that lets other programs add cards to Anki) so cards get filled in automatically.

|

These rules exist to prevent a class of bugs where the renderer and main process silently disagree about message shapes - which surfaces as undefined fields, swallowed errors, or state corruption.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Use shared constants.** Channel names come from `contracts.ts`, never ad-hoc literal strings. This makes channels greppable and refactor-safe.
|
||||
- **Validate before handling.** Every `invoke` payload passes through `validators.ts` before reaching domain logic. This catches shape drift at the boundary instead of deep inside a service.
|
||||
- **Return structured failures.** Handlers return `{ ok: false, error: string }` on failure rather than throwing. The renderer can always distinguish success from failure without try/catch.
|
||||
- **Keep payloads narrow.** Send only what the handler needs. Avoid passing entire state objects across the bridge — it couples the renderer to internal main-process structure.

- **Keep payloads narrow.** Send only what the handler needs. Avoid passing entire state objects across the bridge - it couples the renderer to internal main-process structure.
|
||||
- **Co-evolve all layers.** When a payload shape changes, update `contracts.ts`, `validators.ts`, `preload.ts`, and the handler in the same commit. Partial updates are treated as bugs.
|
||||
|
||||
## Two Message Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**Invoke (request/response):** The renderer calls a typed bridge method and awaits a result. The main process validates the payload, runs the handler, and returns a structured response. Used for operations where the renderer needs a result — lookups, config reads, mining actions.

|
||||

# Mining Workflow

This guide walks through the sentence mining loop - from watching a video to creating Anki cards with audio, screenshots, and context.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
*Sentence mining* means turning real sentences you encounter while watching native video into Anki flashcards, so you learn vocabulary in the context where you actually met it. SubMiner automates the tedious parts of that loop.
|
||||
|
||||
SubMiner runs as a transparent overlay on top of mpv (the video player). As subtitles play, the overlay displays them as interactive text. You hover a word, trigger a Yomitan dictionary lookup with your configured lookup key/modifier, then create an Anki card with a single action. SubMiner automatically attaches the sentence, an audio clip, and a screenshot to that card — no manual copy-pasting or screen capturing.

Before any of those layers render, SubMiner strips annotation metadata from tokens that are usually just subtitle glue or annotation noise. Standalone particles, auxiliaries, adnominals, common explanatory endings like `んです` / `のだ`, merged trailing quote-particle forms like `...って`, auxiliary-stem grammar tails like `そうだ` (MeCab POS3 `助動詞語幹`), repeated kana interjections, and similar non-lexical helper tokens remain hoverable in the subtitle text, but they render as plain tokens without known-word, N+1, frequency, JLPT, or name-match annotation styling.

Character-name matches are built from the active merged SubMiner character dictionary, which auto-syncs character data from AniList for your recently-watched titles. When the current AniList media ID is known, SubMiner ignores loaded entries from other titles for subtitle name matching and inline portraits. Matching names are highlighted in subtitles and become available for hover-driven Yomitan character profiles — portraits, roles, voice actors, and biographical detail.

|
||||
- **Mouse passthrough**: On Linux X11/Xwayland, SubMiner uses `xdotool` to poll the cursor and only enables overlay input while the cursor is over subtitle or popup regions. Outside those regions, pointer input passes through to mpv. Native Wayland compositors other than Hyprland/Sway cannot provide the stacking control SubMiner needs.

SubMiner's overlay is a transparent, frameless Electron window that must be kept above mpv. SubMiner tries to apply the floating, borderless, no-shadow, and no-blur properties itself each time it places the overlay. It detects Hyprland's active config provider and uses Lua `hl.dsp.window.*` dispatchers for recent Hyprland Lua configs, or the legacy dispatcher syntax for older hyprlang configs. On many configurations that is enough, but if your Hyprland version doesn't honor those runtime dispatches — or a broad rule in your config forces opacity/blur on every window — add explicit window rules so the overlay is exempt. You also need `pass` bindings to forward global shortcuts to SubMiner (see below).

On any Wayland session that is not Hyprland or Sway (KDE Plasma, GNOME, and others), the overlay can only stay above mpv when both processes run under **XWayland** — the Wayland protocol forbids clients from controlling window stacking, so the overlay's "always on top" becomes a no-op on a native Wayland surface.

|

- While mpv is windowed, the overlay is a managed X11 window owned by the tracked mpv window (`WM_TRANSIENT_FOR`), so it stays above mpv while other foreground X11/Xwayland apps can still cover both windows.
|
||||
- While tracked mpv is fullscreen, SubMiner swaps the visible overlay to a focusable-false X11 override-redirect window. That path can stay above the active fullscreen mpv window without requiring a KDE/KWin-specific rule, and SubMiner hides/releases it when mpv is no longer the active X11/Xwayland window.
