- Show mpv OSD spinner from start-file until subminer-overlay-loading-ready; force-shown for visible-overlay startup regardless of osd_messages setting
- Gate non-macOS overlay visibility on content-ready so first subtitle line is immediately hoverable and clickable
- Queue startup notifications in main process until overlay window finishes loading; upsert progress cards by id to avoid cold-start floods
- Defer background warmups until after overlay runtime init so queued notifications can deliver promptly
- Preserve character dictionary checking/building/importing/ready phases as distinct history entries; route building and importing to system notifications when notificationType is both
- New toggleNotificationHistory (Ctrl+N) session-scoped history panel; slides in from same edge as notification stack
- Overlay error/recovery toast follows notifications.overlayPosition; stack and history side seeded at startup
- Cold managed background startup initializes tray and visible overlay shell before tokenization warmups finish
- Add Update button to overlay update-available notifications
- Fix Ctrl+S sentence-card flow: only Anki progress notification, no duplicate status toast
- Fix overlay notification close/actions clickability above subtitle bars on Linux
- Increase pause-until-ready default timeout from 15s to 30s
- Send synthetic `__warm__` payload when no current subtitle exists so the gate can release without waiting for a subtitle event that can't fire while paused
- Visible-overlay readiness accepts `__warm__` once the overlay is content-ready, rejects it otherwise
- Autoplay gate self-retries via scheduled polling when signal target isn't ready, removing reliance on an external flush event
- Skip duplicate desktop notification when overlay or startup sequencer already delivered it
