When embedded-track extraction is skipped (network-mounted media), live mpv
text during per-glyph typeset karaoke is a wall of simultaneous one-glyph
lines plus the syllable being typed. No parsed cues exist to substitute, so
the wall reached both overlays and recording verbatim. Detect bursts of many
single-glyph lines in the live fallback paths and drop them with their short
syllable companions, keeping concurrent dialogue lines.
- Only classify tall positioned ASS blocks as fragment grids when they read like tiling (sign walls, re-shown countdown frames, scattered single glyphs, or table columns), keeping CC-style dialogue blocks and wrapped lyric rows publishable
- Widen Latin word-gap heuristics for per-glyph typesetting runs and short capitalized words so proportional-font variation and two-letter words no longer get split
- Add changelog fragment documenting the stats database busy-timeout fix
- Recover Latin/romaji word spaces encoded only by positioned `\pos`/`\move` fragment gaps in ASS karaoke
- Drop malformed ASS rotation-reset spacer lines and skip zero-duration metadata events
- Dedupe duplicate lines across multiline primary/secondary cues, including full-width variants
- Treat dense fragment-grid sign layouts as visual typesetting, not publishable text, during primary subtitle resolution
- Reconstruct fragment-only karaoke while preserving canonical animated signs
- Reprocess live subtitles after initial playback and seek updates
- Add a development launcher for playable media files
- Move What's Changed/New Contributors before Installation in release notes
- Preserve committed attribution when regenerating via writeReleaseNotesForVersion
- Change notificationType default from 'both' to 'overlay' for new installs
- Convert flat prose entries in CHANGELOG.md and docs-site/changelog.md to bold headers + sub-bullets
- Scope artifact uploads in release/prerelease workflows to `latest*.yml` instead of `*.yml`
- Update release-notes and RELEASING docs to match
- Adjust workflow tests for new nested bullet format
Cross-check every config key, shortcut, default, and command against the
current source and fix the drift (mpv.socketPath, auto_start_overlay
default, AniSkip TAB key, JLPT N4 color, secondary-sub font/defaults,
secondary-sub language behavior, modular mpv plugin layout, and more).
Add plain-language intros and first-use definitions across onboarding and
integration pages so non-technical readers can follow along.
Internal docs/: fix stale module paths in architecture/domains.md, add
missing contract entry points and catalog rows, and bump verified dates.
Remove the obsolete docs/plans/ directory (its only plan shipped in
0.15.0) and reframe planning.md so plans live with the work, not in docs/.
CI runners don't have Claude Code installed, so the regen step in the
prerelease workflow died on 'claude CLI not found'. Mirror the stable
release model: generate prerelease-notes.md locally (claude -p), commit
it, and have CI just verify and reference the committed file.
- Delete Backlog.md and all backlog/ task files
- Remove Backlog.md MCP workflow instructions from AGENTS.md
- Drop "backlog history" from change-verification shim compatibility note
- Replace `renderGroupedChanges` with `polishFragmentsWithClaude` that pipes fragments through `claude -p --model sonnet` to merge related items, drop housekeeping noise, and produce user-facing release notes
- Internal fragments kept in CHANGELOG.md under a `<details>` collapse; dropped from GitHub release notes entirely
- CI no longer auto-runs `changelog:build` on tag-based releases — fails fast with a clear error if `changes/*.md` fragments are still pending; build locally and commit before tagging
- Add `runClaude` dep-injection seam to test surface; add failure-mode coverage (missing binary, empty output, missing headers, missing `<details>` wrapper)
- Delete implemented design doc; update `changes/README.md` and `docs/RELEASING.md` with claude CLI prerequisite and new workflow
- Capture decisions from brainstorming: replace bullet renderer with `claude -p`, write straight to disk, hard-fail on missing/failed claude, drop internal section from release notes but keep collapsed in CHANGELOG.md
- Document prompt input/output contract, affected files, test plan, and CI guard that fails tag-based releases when changelog fragments are still pending
- Set scope boundaries (no caching, no SDK fallback, no `--no-polish` escape hatch)
