+  - Plugins can react to playback and mined cards, add bindable actions, run programs, and show results in overlay panels or their own windows.
+  - Example plugins cover AI line explanations (`ai-explain`), AnkiWeb sync (`anki-sync`), and show and episode tags on mined cards (`episode-tags`).
+  - Plugin authors get a versioned API with standalone types.
+- **Subtitle Filters**: Remove text in parentheses, sound descriptions, speaker names, music notes, or custom regex matches from primary subtitles. Configure them in Settings under Behavior → Subtitle Filters.
+- **Controller Combos**: Controller actions can now be combos, such as holding `L1` and pressing D-pad right. Click **Learn** in `Alt+C`, then hold one button and press another.
+- **Controller Actions**: New bindings cover previous, next, replay, and play-next subtitle, hold-to-show secondary subtitle, and previous or next Yomitan entry. All are unbound by default and can be assigned in `Alt+C`.
+- **Controller Dialog Layouts**: The media timing review and duplicate card dialogs can now be used with a controller and show button hints while one is connected. Remap both layouts per controller in `Alt+C`.
+- **Controller Button Style**: Choose Xbox, Nintendo, or PlayStation button names per controller in `Alt+C`, or set a default with `controller.faceButtonLabels`.
+- **Controller Clash Warnings**: `Alt+C` now warns when two actions share the same input.
+- **Keyboard-Only Mode**:
+  - Press `C` or use the new controller binding to move by character, reaching words split by the subtitle parser.
+  - The new **Pause Video In Keyboard-Only Mode** setting pauses on entry and resumes on exit.
+- **Jimaku Auto-Open**: Set `jimaku.autoOpenWhenPrimarySubtitleMissing` to pause and open Jimaku when a local video has no Japanese subtitle track. Reopening Jimaku after the video changes now refreshes the title and episode.
+
+### Changed
+- **Stats Trends and Vocabulary**:
+  - Trends adds a learning section, heatmap, title timeline, custom date ranges, and a page-wide title filter.
+  - Vocabulary now has one searchable word table, known words by frequency band, a growth chart, and a full kanji view.
+  - New word counts now count dictionary words, so a word's conjugations count once and totals are lower than before.
+  - Stats now explains when streamed words or lines can't be mined.
+- **Bundled Hachidori**: Updated to upstream 0.4.0, adding every pitch accent in popup entries, per-kanji headword furigana, and Yomitan-style definition tags.
+- **Controller Behavior**: **Toggle MPV Pause** now works outside keyboard-only mode. Connected and disabled messages now follow your `ankiConnect.behavior.notificationType` setting.
+- **Dictionary Popup**: Turning keyboard-only mode off now also closes the popup.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Controller Settings (`Alt+C`)**:
+  - Remaps now apply right away, and Learn works on **(D-pad)** rows.
+  - Clicking a row shows **Learn**, **Clear**, and **Reset** again.
+  - The window previews your bindings until a press, then selects the pressed controller.
+  - Button names are now correct on standard-layout controllers.
+- **Controller Input on macOS and Windows**: One press no longer runs its action twice. On macOS, buttons now work while mpv is in front.
+- **Dictionary Popup**: Keyboard and controller lookups now pause and resume playback reliably. Moving between words right after closing a popup no longer reopens it.
+- **Playback**: Reloading the current file no longer leaves playback paused. The "Overlay loading" message no longer sticks or turns into a false error when a playlist advances.
+- **Stats**:
+  - The dashboard, Vocabulary tab, and sentence search load much faster on large databases, and Trends downloads far less data.
+  - Trends now counts each finished episode once, and its Library totals match the selected range.
+  - Word totals, readings, Hide Names, and rate charts are now accurate.
+  - Date handling is now correct in time zones ahead of UTC.
+- **AniList**: Progress sync now adds a missing show to Watching, or Completed on the final episode, when the title matches exactly or is pinned. Entries marked Completed, Paused, Dropped, or Rewatching are still never changed.
+- **Anki Sentence Audio**: Generated sentence audio no longer overwrites Yomitan's word audio on default configs. If you relied on the old default, set `ankiConnect.fields.audio` to `ExpressionAudio`.
+- **AppImage**: Fixed "Service Crash" notifications on quit on Ubuntu 26.04 and newer.
+
+### Docs
+- **Keyboard and Controller Reference**: Keyboard shortcuts now list the keyboard-only `C` key, and the configuration reference points to Controller support for default button actions.
+
+## v0.21.1 (2026-10-26)
+
+### Changed
+- **Stats Session View**: Redesigned the expanded session view in the stats dashboard.
+  - New stat tiles show pace, lines, known-word rate, lookups, and paused time.
+  - A reading density chart of known and unknown words replaces the cumulative chart.
+  - Yomitan lookups and mined cards now appear in their own lane below the chart.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Subtitle Retiming**: Mining, the subtitle sidebar, subtitle navigation, and replay now use the timing you set with mpv's subtitle delay keys (z/x and sub-step), so mined audio and images match the retimed line.
+- **Subtitle Sidebar**: mpv keys and mouse actions, like volume keys and double-click fullscreen, work again while the sidebar is open.
+
+### Docs
+- **README**: Refreshed the anime screenshots using the current build.
+
+<details>
+<summary>Internal changes</summary>
+
+### Internal
+- **Packaging Layout**: Packaging inputs now live under `packaging/`, and all build output lands in `dist/`, with packaged apps in `dist/release/`.
+
+</details>
+
+## v0.21.0 (2026-10-24)
+
+### Added
+- **Hachidori Dictionary Backend**:
+  - Hachidori is now bundled as an alternative to Yomitan. Select it with `dictionaryBackend`, then restart SubMiner.
+  - It works with subtitle scanning, popups, frequency highlighting, character dictionaries, Anki mining, and stats dashboard mining.
+  - First-run setup builds Hachidori's Anki template from your SubMiner settings. It can also link an external Hachidori app, browser, or Docker host.
+  - The tray and dictionary-settings shortcut open settings for the active backend. Use `--hachidori` or `--yomitan` to open a specific one.
+- **Jellyfin Subtitle Generation**: You can now generate Japanese subtitles while playing a Jellyfin episode, with both direct play and transcoded playback.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Jellyfin**:
+  - `subminer jellyfin -p` now lists libraries and shows image previews when SubMiner is already running. Real errors are shown instead of an empty list.
+  - Watch progress from terminal playback is reported to Jellyfin even with cast discovery off.
+  - When `subminer jellyfin -p` starts SubMiner, the app shows its tray icon and quits when mpv closes.
+  - Casting on macOS now finds mpv when SubMiner is opened from Finder, the Dock, or Spotlight.
+- **Halfwidth Katakana**: Halfwidth katakana in subtitles now displays as fullwidth, including in mined cards and older stats lines. Stats sentence search matches katakana in either width.
+- **Media Timing Review**: The review opens on the first attempt instead of after a delay. Playback stays paused while it is open.
+- **Subtitle Annotations**: Lines shown while two cues overlap now get annotations right away. Prefetching no longer restarts during startup.
+- **Keyboard-Only Mode**: `h`, `l`, and the arrow keys now work for typing in modal text fields instead of seeking mpv.
+- **Stats Dashboard Mining**: Cards mined from the stats dashboard keep the selected history line and media.
+- **Hyprland and Sway**: The app no longer freezes when `hyprctl` or `swaymsg` is slow or hangs.
+- **Subtitle Sidebar**: The open sidebar does much less background work during playback.
+- **macOS Launcher Status**: The command-line launcher no longer shows "Not on PATH" when SubMiner is opened from Finder or the Dock.
+- **Security Updates**: Updated Electron, undici, and follow-redirects to address security advisories.
+
+### Docs
+- **Hachidori Setup**: Documented backend selection, Hachidori dictionary and Anki setup, settings shortcuts, and external host linking.
+- **Jellyfin Casting**: Explained when SubMiner joins the cast menu at startup, and how casting finds mpv on each platform. Added a troubleshooting entry for casts that never start mpv.
+- **Jimaku Key**: Removed environment variables that never had any effect. Set the key with `jimaku.apiKey` or `jimaku.apiKeyCommand`.
+
+<details>
+<summary>Internal changes</summary>
+
+### Internal
+- **End-to-End Harness**: Added a headless e2e harness (`bun run test:e2e`, `bun run e2e`) with real mpv, a fixture dictionary, and a fake AnkiConnect.
+- **Hachidori Fork**: The bundled Hachidori integration lives in a pinned fork submodule.
+- **Dead Code Removal**:
+  - Removed the unused launcher Jimaku client, the mpv plugin hover-highlight module, and the unused character dictionary config keys.
+  - Removed 16 unused overlay IPC methods. SubMiner no longer forwards every ASS line to the overlay.
+  - Typecheck now runs with `noUnusedLocals`.
+- **Setup Launcher Label**: First-run setup now labels a missing launcher "Not set up" instead of "Not installed".

@@ -44,11 +44,11 @@ How fragments turn into a release:
 - The polish step treats pending fragments as the final release outcome, not prerelease history. If a feature is added and then renamed or fixed before the stable cut, ship the final feature bullet instead of separate prerelease-only breaking/fix entries.
 - `CHANGELOG.md`, GitHub release notes, and prerelease notes all use one item per feature or area, inline by default: `- **Name**: one or two short sentences.` Items with several separate changes may use a few short nested bullets instead of a run-on sentence. Items say what changed and how to reach it; implementation details, edge cases, and step-by-step usage belong in the docs, not the release body.
 - `internal` fragments stay in `CHANGELOG.md` (inside a collapsed `<details>` block) but are dropped from the GitHub release notes entirely.

Editorial-only rewording is filtered out of that section, while genuinely changed behavior and deleted fragments (reverted changes) are reported
 - existing prerelease notes are a reviewed baseline; later prerelease runs should replace stale beta/RC wording with the current outcome instead of appending fix churn

+
+- The deck always follows `ankiConnect.deck`, because polling only looks for new cards in that deck.
+- While the template still has Hachidori's default `hachidori` tag, the configured tags are added ahead of it so cards carry both. Tags you edit in Hachidori settings are kept as written.
+- Missing word, sentence, pronunciation-audio, and picture mappings are filled with fields that exist in Anki. Pronunciation uses `fields.wordAudio`, or `fields.audio` when no word-audio field is set.
+- If the note type is unset, SubMiner picks the one note type that has your word and sentence fields. Enabled Lapis, Kiku, or Senren narrows the search. A fresh mapping also gets Hachidori's matching preset for readings, definitions, and other known fields.
+
+Apart from the deck, SubMiner only fills missing settings. Custom tags, field mappings, advanced templates, and extra templates stay as you set them. If several note types match, pick one in Hachidori Settings. If Anki was closed, start it and open Hachidori Settings again to retry.
+
+Sentence audio, image timing, translation, metadata, and field grouping stay under SubMiner's control. Pronunciation sources are set in Hachidori. Linking an external dictionary host does not change any of this.

+### With a controller {#field-grouping-with-a-controller}
+
+With [controller support](/usage#controller-support) on, the dialog has its own controller layout, and each control shows its controller shortcut once SubMiner has seen a controller. Like the [media timing review](#with-a-controller), it works with or without keyboard-only mode, `A`/`B`/`X`/`Y` are the printed letters (set by **Button Style** in `Alt+C`), and a button already held when the dialog opens waits for a fresh press.

+To cancel from the preview, press `B` twice, or bind the preview's **Cancel** row (unbound by default). Change any of it in the **Duplicate card (field grouping)** group of `Alt+C`, the same way as the review layout.

 ## Config validation
 
 Invalid `ankiConnect` values produce a warning and fall back to the default. Use JSON booleans (`true`, not `"true"`) and a positive number for `pollingRate`.

Larger clusters, such as app-ready startup, mpv, Jellyfin, AniList tracking, shortcuts, and IPC, are assembled by composers in `src/main/runtime/composers/`. A domain whose runtimes share state, such as app startup, the overlay windows, mpv playback and subtitle state, card mining, stats, plugins, YouTube, Jellyfin, AniList, config settings, sync, or the character dictionary, is grouped into one assembly in `src/main/assemblies/` that owns that state and returns its runtimes. An assembly that answers renderer IPC or CLI commands also returns typed `ipc`/`cli` slices, and `main.ts` registers the handlers by combining those slices. Handlers take their dependencies as a plain object passed straight to the handler factory, which keeps side effects out of the unit under test.
 
 Composers declare their inputs with `ComposerInputs<T>` and results with `ComposerOutputs<T>` from `src/main/runtime/composers/contracts.ts`. A missing dependency then fails at compile time.

 # Changelog
 
-## v0.20.1 (2026-10-03)
+## v0.22.0 (2026-11-06)
+
+**Added**
+- **Plugins**:
+  - JavaScript plugins load at startup from `<config dir>/plugins/<id>/` and are enabled under `plugins` in the config.
+  - Plugins can react to playback and mined cards, add bindable actions, run programs, and show results in overlay panels or their own windows.
+  - Example plugins cover AI line explanations (`ai-explain`), AnkiWeb sync (`anki-sync`), and show and episode tags on mined cards (`episode-tags`).
+  - Plugin authors get a versioned API with standalone types.
+- **Subtitle Filters**: Remove text in parentheses, sound descriptions, speaker names, music notes, or custom regex matches from primary subtitles. Configure them in Settings under Behavior → Subtitle Filters.
+- **Controller Combos**: Controller actions can now be combos, such as holding `L1` and pressing D-pad right. Click **Learn** in `Alt+C`, then hold one button and press another.
+- **Controller Actions**: New bindings cover previous, next, replay, and play-next subtitle, hold-to-show secondary subtitle, and previous or next Yomitan entry. All are unbound by default and can be assigned in `Alt+C`.
+- **Controller Dialog Layouts**: The media timing review and duplicate card dialogs can now be used with a controller and show button hints while one is connected. Remap both layouts per controller in `Alt+C`.
+- **Controller Button Style**: Choose Xbox, Nintendo, or PlayStation button names per controller in `Alt+C`, or set a default with `controller.faceButtonLabels`.
+- **Controller Clash Warnings**: `Alt+C` now warns when two actions share the same input.
+- **Keyboard-Only Mode**:
+  - Press `C` or use the new controller binding to move by character, reaching words split by the subtitle parser.
+  - The new **Pause Video In Keyboard-Only Mode** setting pauses on entry and resumes on exit.
+- **Jimaku Auto-Open**: Set `jimaku.autoOpenWhenPrimarySubtitleMissing` to pause and open Jimaku when a local video has no Japanese subtitle track. Reopening Jimaku after the video changes now refreshes the title and episode.
+
+**Changed**
+- **Stats Trends and Vocabulary**:
+  - Trends adds a learning section, heatmap, title timeline, custom date ranges, and a page-wide title filter.
+  - Vocabulary now has one searchable word table, known words by frequency band, a growth chart, and a full kanji view.
+  - New word counts now count dictionary words, so a word's conjugations count once and totals are lower than before.
+  - Stats now explains when streamed words or lines can't be mined.
+- **Bundled Hachidori**: Updated to upstream 0.4.0, adding every pitch accent in popup entries, per-kanji headword furigana, and Yomitan-style definition tags.
+- **Controller Behavior**: **Toggle MPV Pause** now works outside keyboard-only mode. Connected and disabled messages now follow your `ankiConnect.behavior.notificationType` setting.
+- **Dictionary Popup**: Turning keyboard-only mode off now also closes the popup.
+
+**Fixed**
+- **Controller Settings (`Alt+C`)**:
+  - Remaps now apply right away, and Learn works on **(D-pad)** rows.
+  - Clicking a row shows **Learn**, **Clear**, and **Reset** again.
+  - The window previews your bindings until a press, then selects the pressed controller.
+  - Button names are now correct on standard-layout controllers.
+- **Controller Input on macOS and Windows**: One press no longer runs its action twice. On macOS, buttons now work while mpv is in front.
+- **Dictionary Popup**: Keyboard and controller lookups now pause and resume playback reliably. Moving between words right after closing a popup no longer reopens it.
+- **Playback**: Reloading the current file no longer leaves playback paused. The "Overlay loading" message no longer sticks or turns into a false error when a playlist advances.
+- **Stats**:
+  - The dashboard, Vocabulary tab, and sentence search load much faster on large databases, and Trends downloads far less data.
+  - Trends now counts each finished episode once, and its Library totals match the selected range.
+  - Word totals, readings, Hide Names, and rate charts are now accurate.
+  - Date handling is now correct in time zones ahead of UTC.
+- **AniList**: Progress sync now adds a missing show to Watching, or Completed on the final episode, when the title matches exactly or is pinned. Entries marked Completed, Paused, Dropped, or Rewatching are still never changed.
+- **Anki Sentence Audio**: Generated sentence audio no longer overwrites Yomitan's word audio on default configs. If you relied on the old default, set `ankiConnect.fields.audio` to `ExpressionAudio`.
+- **AppImage**: Fixed "Service Crash" notifications on quit on Ubuntu 26.04 and newer.
+
+**Docs**
+- **Keyboard and Controller Reference**: Keyboard shortcuts now list the keyboard-only `C` key, and the configuration reference points to Controller support for default button actions.

+- **Stats Session View**: Redesigned the expanded session view in the stats dashboard.
+  - New stat tiles show pace, lines, known-word rate, lookups, and paused time.
+  - A reading density chart of known and unknown words replaces the cumulative chart.
+  - Yomitan lookups and mined cards now appear in their own lane below the chart.
+
+**Fixed**
+- **Subtitle Retiming**: Mining, the subtitle sidebar, subtitle navigation, and replay now use the timing you set with mpv's subtitle delay keys (z/x and sub-step), so mined audio and images match the retimed line.
+- **Subtitle Sidebar**: mpv keys and mouse actions, like volume keys and double-click fullscreen, work again while the sidebar is open.

+
+**Added**
+- **Hachidori Dictionary Backend**:
+  - Hachidori is now bundled as an alternative to Yomitan. Select it with `dictionaryBackend`, then restart SubMiner.
+  - It works with subtitle scanning, popups, frequency highlighting, character dictionaries, Anki mining, and stats dashboard mining.
+  - First-run setup builds Hachidori's Anki template from your SubMiner settings. It can also link an external Hachidori app, browser, or Docker host.
+  - The tray and dictionary-settings shortcut open settings for the active backend. Use `--hachidori` or `--yomitan` to open a specific one.
+- **Jellyfin Subtitle Generation**: You can now generate Japanese subtitles while playing a Jellyfin episode, with both direct play and transcoded playback.
+
+**Fixed**
+- **Jellyfin**:
+  - `subminer jellyfin -p` now lists libraries and shows image previews when SubMiner is already running. Real errors are shown instead of an empty list.
+  - Watch progress from terminal playback is reported to Jellyfin even with cast discovery off.
+  - When `subminer jellyfin -p` starts SubMiner, the app shows its tray icon and quits when mpv closes.
+  - Casting on macOS now finds mpv when SubMiner is opened from Finder, the Dock, or Spotlight.
+- **Halfwidth Katakana**: Halfwidth katakana in subtitles now displays as fullwidth, including in mined cards and older stats lines. Stats sentence search matches katakana in either width.
+- **Media Timing Review**: The review opens on the first attempt instead of after a delay. Playback stays paused while it is open.
+- **Subtitle Annotations**: Lines shown while two cues overlap now get annotations right away. Prefetching no longer restarts during startup.
+- **Keyboard-Only Mode**: `h`, `l`, and the arrow keys now work for typing in modal text fields instead of seeking mpv.
+- **Stats Dashboard Mining**: Cards mined from the stats dashboard keep the selected history line and media.
+- **Hyprland and Sway**: The app no longer freezes when `hyprctl` or `swaymsg` is slow or hangs.
+- **Subtitle Sidebar**: The open sidebar does much less background work during playback.
+- **macOS Launcher Status**: The command-line launcher no longer shows "Not on PATH" when SubMiner is opened from Finder or the Dock.
+- **Security Updates**: Updated Electron, undici, and follow-redirects to address security advisories.
+
+**Docs**
+- **Hachidori Setup**: Documented backend selection, Hachidori dictionary and Anki setup, settings shortcuts, and external host linking.
+- **Jellyfin Casting**: Explained when SubMiner joins the cast menu at startup, and how casting finds mpv on each platform. Added a troubleshooting entry for casts that never start mpv.
+- **Jimaku Key**: Removed environment variables that never had any effect. Set the key with `jimaku.apiKey` or `jimaku.apiKeyCommand`.

+**Internal**
+- **End-to-End Harness**: Added a headless e2e harness (`bun run test:e2e`, `bun run e2e`) with real mpv, a fixture dictionary, and a fake AnkiConnect.
+- **Hachidori Fork**: The bundled Hachidori integration lives in a pinned fork submodule.
+- **Dead Code Removal**:
+  - Removed the unused launcher Jimaku client, the mpv plugin hover-highlight module, and the unused character dictionary config keys.
+  - Removed 16 unused overlay IPC methods. SubMiner no longer forwards every ASS line to the overlay.
+  - Typecheck now runs with `noUnusedLocals`.
+- **Setup Launcher Label**: First-run setup now labels a missing launcher "Not set up" instead of "Not installed".

+### Subtitle filters {#subtitle-filters}

+Removes unwanted text from primary subtitles, such as speaker names, readings and sound descriptions.

In the settings window, find it under **Behavior → Subtitle Filters**.

+### Open automatically when a video has no Japanese subtitles
+
+Set `jimaku.autoOpenWhenPrimarySubtitleMissing` to `true` to skip the shortcut. When a local video loads without a subtitle track in `youtube.primarySubLanguages` (Japanese by default), SubMiner pauses playback about a second after the video loads and opens the Jimaku modal, so you can pick a subtitle before watching. Playback stays paused while the modal is open and resumes when it closes, whether or not you picked a subtitle. On a cold start it resumes once subtitle processing is ready, as usual, and a pause you made yourself before the modal opened is kept.
+
+A single unlabeled sidecar file (such as `episode.srt` next to the video) counts as a Japanese track, matching how SubMiner auto-selects local subtitles. An embedded track with no language tag does not, so the modal still opens for it. Audio files, streams, YouTube, and Jellyfin playback are not checked.

+# Plugins
+
+Plugins are JavaScript files that SubMiner loads at startup. A plugin can react to playback, run code on a timer, add actions you bind to keys, run programs, and show results in an overlay panel, all without rebuilding SubMiner.
+
+::: warning Only run plugins you trust
+Plugins run inside SubMiner with the same access to your files and system as SubMiner itself. There is no sandbox.
+:::
+
+These are SubMiner app plugins. The Lua script that runs inside mpv is the separate [mpv plugin](/mpv-plugin).
+
+## Install a plugin
+
+1. Put the plugin in its own folder in `plugins/` next to your [config file](/configuration#configuration-file), for example `~/.config/SubMiner/plugins/ai-explain/`. The folder name is the plugin id.
+2. Enable it in `config.jsonc`. `settings` is passed to the plugin as-is:
+
+   ```jsonc
+   {
+     "plugins": {
+       "ai-explain": { "enabled": true, "settings": { "reasoningEffort": "medium" } },
+     },
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. Bind its actions to keys with the `__plugin-action:<plugin id>/<action>` command:
+
+   ```jsonc
+   {
+     "keybindings": [
+       { "key": "Ctrl+KeyE", "command": ["__plugin-action:ai-explain/explain"] },
+       { "key": "Ctrl+KeyT", "command": ["__plugin-action:ai-explain/translate"] },
+     ],
+   }
+   ```
+
+   To run an action from a script or a window-manager shortcut, use `subminer app --plugin-action ai-explain/explain`. It goes to the running SubMiner, or starts one if none is running.
+
+4. Restart SubMiner. Plugin changes apply on the next start; keybinding changes apply immediately.
+
+Load errors and plugin log output go to the app log with a `plugin:<id>` scope.
+
+## Example: explain the current line with Codex
+
+The repository ships [`assets/plugins/ai-explain`](https://github.com/ksyasuda/SubMiner/tree/main/assets/plugins/ai-explain). It sends the current line, plus the lines around it, to [`codex exec`](https://github.com/openai/codex) and shows the answer in a panel. It needs a logged-in Codex CLI.
+
+| Action      | What it does                                                    |
+| ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `explain`   | Translation plus a breakdown of the grammar and vocabulary      |
+| `translate` | Natural English translation, with a note only when it's unclear |
+
+| Setting           | Default   | What it does                                                      |
+| ----------------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `codexPath`       | `"codex"` | Codex binary. Use a full path if SubMiner can't find it on `PATH` |
+| `model`           | `""`      | Model passed to `codex exec -m`; empty uses your Codex config     |
+| `reasoningEffort` | `"low"`   | Codex reasoning effort; empty uses your Codex config              |
+| `before`, `after` | `2`, `1`  | Lines of context sent before and after the current line           |
+| `pause`           | `true`    | Pause playback when the panel opens                               |
+| `timeoutMs`       | `120000`  | Give up after this long                                           |
+| `prompts`         | `{}`      | Replace an action's instructions, e.g. `{ "translate": "..." }`   |
+
+Press `Esc` to close the panel. Closing it, or starting another request, stops the running Codex process.
+
+## Example: sync Anki after mining
+
+[`assets/plugins/anki-sync`](https://github.com/ksyasuda/SubMiner/tree/main/assets/plugins/anki-sync) runs AnkiConnect's `sync` after you mine cards, so they reach AnkiWeb without opening Anki. It waits until you stop mining for a while, so a burst of cards becomes one sync. It also adds a `sync` action you can bind to a key.
+
+| Setting     | Default | What it does                                            |
+| ----------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `delayMs`   | `30000` | Sync after no card has been mined for this long         |
+| `syncOnEnd` | `true`  | Sync right away when playback ends or mpv quits         |
+| `timeoutMs` | `60000` | Give up on a sync after this long                       |
+| `notify`    | `true`  | Show a notification after each sync. Failures always do |
+
+Anki must be running and logged in to AnkiWeb. Cards mined from the stats dashboard don't trigger a sync.
+
+## Example: tag cards with the episode
+
+[`assets/plugins/episode-tags`](https://github.com/ksyasuda/SubMiner/tree/main/assets/plugins/episode-tags) tags each mined card with the show and episode it came from, such as `show::Sousou_no_Frieren::E07`. It reads them from the file name (`[Group] Show - 07 (1080p).mkv`, `Show.S01E07.mkv`, `Show 第7話.mkv`), or from the title mpv shows for streams. It uses the source captured when mining started, so delayed media and field grouping into an older note keep the correct episode. Notes with unknown provenance, including cards discovered by polling, are left alone. Spaces become `_`.
+
+| Setting  | Default                  | What it does                                    |
+| -------- | ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
+| `tags`   | `["show::{show}::{ep}"]` | Tags to add, one template each                  |
+| `notify` | `false`                  | Show a notification with the tags for each card |
+
+Templates can use `{show}`, `{season}`, `{episode}`, and `{ep}` (`S01E07`, or `E07` when there is no season). When a placeholder has no value, the tag stops before that `::` level, so a movie gets `show::<title>`. The parsing is a guess from the name: a title ending in a number, like `Mob Psycho 100`, reads that number as the episode.
+
+## Write a plugin
+
+A plugin folder needs a `plugin.json`:
+
+```json
+{ "name": "My Plugin", "version": "1.0.0", "apiVersion": 1, "main": "main.js" }
+```
+
+`apiVersion` declares the required SubMiner plugin API version. The current version is `1`; omitted values also mean v1 for existing plugins. An unsupported version is rejected before the plugin's entry module runs. `version` is the plugin's own version and does not control compatibility.
+
+`main` points to a CommonJS module (`.js`) or an ES module (`.mjs`) that exports `activate(ctx)`. Activation may be asynchronous and has a 10-second timeout. A plugin's actions wait for its own activation, so a slow plugin does not hold up other plugins. If activation fails or times out, its registrations are removed and its signal aborts. Synchronous code still shares the app's main thread.
+
+Activation may return a cleanup function, or the module can export `deactivate()`. On quit, SubMiner aborts `ctx.signal` first and waits up to 2 seconds in total for loading and deactivation. A plugin still reading its files is skipped. Everything a plugin registers through `ctx` is cleaned up automatically. A late activation cannot leave new listeners, timers, or actions behind, and its returned cleanup still runs once. Deactivation can call Anki, mpv, built-in actions, and notifications until disposal. After disposal, those calls throw or reject, including work that resumes after an activation or deactivation timeout.
+
+```js
+function activate(ctx) {
+  ctx.media.on('change', (media) => {
+    if (media) ctx.log.info(`Now playing ${media.path}`);
+  });
+  ctx.every(60_000, () => ctx.log.info('Still watching'));
+  ctx.actions.register('hello', () => {
+    const line = ctx.subtitles.current();
+    ctx.ui.panel({ title: 'Hello', markdown: line ? `> ${line.text}` : '_No subtitle_' });
+  });
+}
+
+module.exports = { activate };
+```
+
+An error thrown by a plugin is logged and does not crash SubMiner. A plugin that blocks with a long synchronous loop still freezes the app, so keep slow work asynchronous.
+
+### Types and cleanup
+
+The public types live in [`src/plugin-api.ts`](https://github.com/ksyasuda/SubMiner/blob/main/src/plugin-api.ts). A build emits `dist/plugin-api.d.ts`; copy that file into your plugin as `subminer.d.ts`, or copy the source file with that name. It has no imports from SubMiner internals. Electron's types must be available to your editor because `ui.openWindow` returns a `BrowserWindow`.
+
+JavaScript plugins can use the types through JSDoc:
+
+```js
+/** @param {import('./subminer').PluginContext} ctx */
+function activate(ctx) {
+  const { ipcMain } = require('electron');
+  ipcMain.handle(`${ctx.id}:info`, () => ({ media: ctx.media.current() }));
+  ctx.onDispose(() => ipcMain.removeHandler(`${ctx.id}:info`));
+}
+
+module.exports = { activate };
+```
+
+Use `ctx.signal` with `fetch` or other cancellable work. It aborts when unloading starts, before `deactivate` runs. `ctx.onDispose(fn)` registers synchronous cleanup for resources outside `ctx`, such as file watchers and Electron IPC handlers. The returned function runs the cleanup early, at most once. Registering cleanup after unloading starts runs it immediately. Timers and listeners registered after that point are removed immediately too. Use the returned activation cleanup or `deactivate` for asynchronous teardown, within the shared quit timeout.

+| `notify(message, { variant })`         | Overlay notification. `variant` is `info`, `warning`, or `error`                                                          |
+| `ui.panel({ title, markdown })`        | Open the plugin panel. Returns `{ update(content), close(), closed, signal }`                                             |
+| `ui.openWindow({ html, preload })`     | Open a window from the plugin folder (below). Returns the Electron `BrowserWindow`                                        |
+| `exec(command, args, options)`         | Run a program without a shell (Windows `.cmd`/`.bat` shims go through `cmd.exe`). Resolves `{ exitCode, stdout, stderr }` |
+| `unstable`                             | SubMiner internals. These change between releases without notice                                                          |
+
+A panel's `signal` aborts when the user closes it or another panel replaces it. Pass it to `exec` to stop work nobody will see. Closing or replacing a panel also cancels pending open requests, including while its window loads. Only one panel is open at a time. Panel markdown supports headings, lists, quotes, code, bold, and italics; HTML is shown as plain text.
+
+`exec` options are `stdin`, `cwd`, `env`, `timeoutMs`, and `signal`. It resolves for any exit code and rejects when the program can't start, times out, or is aborted.
+
+`ui.openWindow` takes `html` and an optional `preload`, both relative to the plugin folder, plus `title`, `width`, and `height`. Opening the same `html` again focuses the open window. The page runs with context isolation and no Node access. The preload is sandboxed too: it can `require('electron')` but nothing else, so bundle anything more into it. Expose what the page needs from the preload with `contextBridge`, and handle its messages with `ipcMain` from `require('electron')` in the plugin. Prefix channel names with the plugin id. Plugin windows close when SubMiner quits.
+
+`media` snapshots are immutable. `playbackId` changes on a new load, including reopening the same path. A title may arrive later with the same id. Disconnecting or ending playback delivers `null`. Use the id to discard stale asynchronous results. Snapshots describe cached playback state; they do not promise that external subtitle discovery has finished.
+
+`mpv.request` accepts string, number, and boolean arguments, e.g. `await ctx.mpv.request(['set_property', 'pause', true])`. It returns mpv's result data and rejects after 4 seconds. A timeout does not cancel the command in mpv, so a slow command may still complete. `mpv.command` remains available for commands whose result you do not need.
+
+mpv events: `connection-change`, `subtitle-change`, `subtitle-timing`, `time-pos-change`, `duration-change`, `pause-change`, `fullscreen-change`, `media-path-change`, `media-title-change`, `subtitle-track-change`, `subtitle-track-list-change`, `secondary-subtitle-change`, `secondary-subtitle-track-change`, `secondary-subtitle-delay-change`, `secondary-subtitle-visibility`, `client-message`, `file-loaded`, and `end-file`. `file-loaded` has no payload. `end-file` gives `{ reason, playlistEntryId, error }`, where `reason` is `eof`, `stop`, `quit`, `error`, `redirect`, or `unknown`.
+
+Anki events: `card-mined` gives `{ noteIds, notes }` once SubMiner has finished filling in a mined card (sentence, audio, image, and field grouping). For YouTube cards whose media waits on the download, it fires once that media is added or the download fails. With `ankiConnect.behavior.autoUpdateNewCards` off, it fires as soon as SubMiner sees the card. If field grouping merged the card into an older one, `noteIds` contains the older card's id.
+
+Each `notes` entry has `{ originalNoteId, noteId, provenance }`. `originalNoteId` identifies the note before merges; `noteId` is the note that kept its content. `provenance` is `{ minedAt, media, subtitle }`, captured before asynchronous creation or the AnkiConnect proxy's upstream request. `minedAt` is Unix time in milliseconds. `media` uses the snapshot format above, and `subtitle` uses `{ text, startTime, endTime }`. Either may be `null`. Polling cannot establish the original source, so its provenance is `null` rather than the currently playing file.
+
+`subtitles.current()` resolves parsed cues using the current subtitle delay and returns their times on the subtitle file's timeline.
+
+Sentence-card provenance also uses the subtitle file's timeline. Multi-line mining converts the history range using the subtitle delay when mining starts; changing the delay between those lines can affect the reported range.
+
+Several original notes can merge into one kept note. `notes` preserves each source, while `noteIds` contains unique kept ids. Existing listeners using only `noteIds` continue to work. Cards mined from the stats dashboard do not emit this event.
+
+`anki.invoke` takes `{ timeoutMs }` (default 10 seconds), rejects on an Anki error, and never retries, so an action like `sync` or `addNote` runs at most once.

 ### Yomitan setup
 
-Lookups need at least one dictionary in SubMiner's bundled Yomitan. First-run setup asks you to import one. To add more later, open Yomitan settings with `Alt+Shift+Y` or `subminer app --yomitan`.
+Lookups need at least one dictionary in SubMiner's bundled Yomitan (or in Hachidori, if you [switched backends](#hachidori-setup)). First-run setup asks you to import one. To add more later, open Yomitan settings with `Alt+Shift+Y` or `subminer app --yomitan`.
 
 The bundled Yomitan is separate from any Yomitan in your browser. It has its own dictionaries and settings.
 
+### Hachidori setup
+
+[Hachidori](https://github.com/bee-san/hachidori) is an alternative lookup backend. Set `dictionaryBackend` to `"hachidori"` in settings or `config.jsonc`, then restart SubMiner. Set it back to `"yomitan"` and restart to switch back.
+
+Open Hachidori settings with `Alt+Shift+Y`, the tray's **Open Hachidori Settings**, or `subminer app --hachidori`. Import dictionary ZIPs or use Hachidori's recommended dictionary installer, then set up its Anki template (SubMiner [fills in what it can](/anki-integration#hachidori-settings-from-subminer)). Yomitan and Hachidori keep separate dictionaries and settings. Yomitan profiles, custom Handlebars templates, and `yomitan.externalProfilePath` do not carry over. Subtitle annotations and lookups wait while Hachidori imports a dictionary, so large imports pause them until the import finishes.
+
+Hachidori uses SubMiner's subtitle scanning, popup pause, controller commands, character dictionaries, and Anki media. Keep the [Anki proxy](/anki-integration#proxy-mode-setup-yomitan-texthooker) on for screenshots and sentence audio. Hachidori's own screen recorder and screenshot capture are off inside SubMiner. `startupWarmups.yomitanExtension` and `subtitleStyle.autoPauseVideoOnYomitanPopup` apply to whichever backend is selected.
+
+Switching backends:
+
+- First-run setup asks for dictionaries the first time you switch to a backend. Switching back to a backend that already finished setup skips it.
+- Until you restart, SubMiner keeps running the backend it started with. The launcher waits for that backend before playback and logs a restart reminder.
+- `--yomitan` and `--hachidori` both work whichever backend is selected. Opening settings does not switch backends.
+- When `yomitan.externalProfilePath` is set, `--yomitan` is disabled to keep the external profile read-only. Hachidori settings still open.
+
+#### External dictionary host
+
+First-run setup can link a Hachidori host instead of using local dictionaries: **Dictionary source → Use an external dictionary host → Link host**. Turn on sharing in the other Hachidori app or browser, or start a compatible Docker host, then enter its sharing address, for example `127.0.0.1:8771` or `ws://host:8771/link`. Use the WebSocket sharing port, not the management page or HTTP API port.
+
+| Host     | Must be running                             |
+| -------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| Browser  | The browser, the Hachidori extension, relay |
+| Electron | The host app and any relay it needs         |
+| Docker   | The container only                          |
+
+Setup checks the connection and the host's dictionaries before **Finish** unlocks, so import at least one dictionary on the host and refresh. The link survives restarts. **Unlink and use local dictionaries** goes back to local.
+
+While linked, dictionaries and dictionary settings come from the host. Anki templates, pronunciation sources, custom buttons, and SubMiner's audio and image processing stay local. Frequency annotations use ranks returned with dictionary entries, and SubMiner asks the host for missing ones. Words with no matching definition entry may stay unranked even if a frequency dictionary lists them.
+
+SubMiner sends [character dictionaries](/character-dictionary) to the linked host over the link and replaces the previous one once the import succeeds, retrying while the host is busy. The host needs Hachidori 0.2.3 or later, or a current Docker host. With an older host, sync reports where the merged ZIP is so you can import it from that host's Hachidori settings.

+A combo fires each time you press its second button while the first is down, so holding `L1` and pressing right twice runs it twice. While a combo's hold button is down, other buttons only run combos that use it, and its press no longer drives a **(D-pad)** or stick row. A hold button can keep its own action: that action then runs when you let go, unless you pressed another bound button during the hold. The exception is **Show Secondary Subtitle (Hold)**, which can't wait for release, so its row warns if it shares a hold button.

+The secondary subtitle hold works with or without keyboard-only mode. Assign it with **Learn** on the **Show Secondary Subtitle (Hold)** row in `Alt+C`. While held, the secondary subtitle shows as if its mode were `visible`; releasing the button returns it to your chosen mode.
+
+The **Subtitles** rows in `Alt+C` do the same as the keyboard shortcuts: **Previous Subtitle** and **Next Subtitle** jump a line like `Shift+H` / `Shift+L` (a paused video stays paused), **Replay Subtitle** is `Ctrl+Shift+H` and **Play Next Subtitle** is `Ctrl+Shift+L`. Like the secondary subtitle hold and pause, they work with or without keyboard-only mode. If you put them on the D-pad, click **Clear** on the matching **(D-pad)** row under **Navigation** too (both rows warn until you do), or in keyboard-only mode the D-pad will also move between words or scroll the popup.
+
+**Previous Entry** and **Next Entry** move one word entry at a time in the open popup, and Mine Card then mines the selected entry. They send Yomitan's default `Alt+Up` / `Alt+Down` entry shortcuts, so they stop working if you rebind those in Yomitan's keyboard settings. If you assign them to the D-pad, click **Clear** on the **Popup Scroll (D-pad)** row too, or the D-pad will also scroll the popup.
+
+When the subtitle is split in the wrong place, a word can start in the middle of a box (in もっとハ|キ|ハキしなくちゃ, ハキハキ starts at the last character of the first box) and moving by word never reaches it. In keyboard-only mode, press `C` on the keyboard, or the **Toggle Character Navigation** button (unbound by default, under **Navigation** in `Alt+C`), to move one character at a time: the box turns orange and covers one character, and a lookup searches from that character, so Yomitan finds the longest word starting there. Press it again to go back to moving by word. It stays on until you switch it back, even after leaving keyboard-only mode.
+
+The media timing review and duplicate card (field grouping) dialogs have their own controller layouts, which you can change in the **Review media timing** and **Duplicate card (field grouping)** groups of `Alt+C`; see [Review media timing](/anki-integration#with-a-controller) and [Field grouping](/anki-integration#field-grouping-with-a-controller).
+
+On controllers that report the W3C standard layout, the default quit button lands on `L2` instead of `Select`, and the default pause button on `Start` instead of `L3`. The default right-stick popup jump does nothing on these controllers; click **Learn** on **Popup Jump (Stick)** and move the right stick up or down to set it. Remap anything else with `Alt+C`, which names buttons according to the layout your controller reports. All options are in [Configuration](/configuration#controller-support).
+
+On macOS, a controller only reaches the app in front. When mpv is in front, a controller button brings the overlay to the front and then runs that button's action. With more than one controller connected, that first press only brings the overlay to the front; press the button again to run its action. Stick movements only work once the overlay is in front. Buttons pressed while another app is in front are left alone.

+- `src/main/runtime/linux-overlay-mode-runtime.ts` owns Linux fullscreen mode state and window replacement. App cleanup cancels pending replacements; the overlay assembly supplies window creation and subtitle refresh hooks.
 - `src/core/services/` owns focused runtime services plus pure or side-effect-bounded logic.
 - `src/core/services/subtitle-generation*.ts` shares local whisper.cpp transcription, safe model downloads, and progress between the launcher and Electron. Optional dialogue mode retains both Silero-detected speech and other audible sections, omits confidently silent gaps, decodes passages independently, and restores original media timing. `src/main/runtime/subtitle-generation-runtime.ts` owns the overlay job lifecycle and only loads completed subtitles into the same media. For Jellyfin playback it reads the item's original-file stream (`toJellyfinOriginalStreamUrl`) into one reused output folder, where each run best-effort deletes earlier files and writes a uniquely named SRT; transcoded playback uses Jellyfin's audio index and only external references, since mpv's track indexes describe the transcode. Subprocess errors redact URL tokens; `src/shared/subtitle-generation*.ts` owns configuration, the multilingual model catalog, and IPC contracts. The overlay runtime retains a session model selection, validates picker requests through IPC, and keeps external model paths authoritative.
 - Subtitle model recommendations use bounded `nvidia-smi` and Whisper CUDA discovery probes in `subtitle-generation-acceleration.ts`. The overlay runtime caches results by executable path for 30 seconds and exposes acceleration status through the existing status IPC. Recommendations do not alter model selection or transcription arguments.
 - `subtitle-generation-reference.ts` ranks mpv's loaded text subtitle tracks, excludes signs/songs and forced references, and extracts timing hints with FFmpeg. The overlay and launcher snapshot references only for matching media, including active subtitle delays. Hints guide long-passage cuts with or without VAD; they never limit audio coverage or replace Whisper timestamps.
 - `src/main/runtime/subtitle-selection.ts` reads and validates mpv subtitle tracks and applies primary/secondary selections. Its opt-in session shortcut opens the shared overlay modal window, with renderer focus and subtitle suppression handled by the modal registry.
 - `src/shared/session-key-sequences.ts` rejects sequence prefixes reserved by single-key actions. The session-binding compiler reserves configured and built-in overlay keys; `src/main/runtime/session-bindings-runtime.ts` adds active mpv bindings and publishes the effective list to both the plugin artifact and the renderer through `session-bindings:changed`. mpv no-op `ignore` bindings do not reserve prefixes.
+- `src/core/services/plugins/` owns user plugins: discovery from `<config dir>/plugins/<id>/plugin.json` for ids enabled in `plugins`, the per-plugin `ctx`, guarded callbacks, and `exec` (no shell, AppImage `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` dropped). `src/main/assemblies/plugins.ts` builds the host. The playback assembly attaches each new mpv client so plugin listeners survive client replacement, the startup assembly starts plugins from the app-ready path after logging is configured, and the `will-quit` cleanup unloads them first, before any teardown. Plugins run in the main process with no sandbox. `src/plugin-api.ts` is the standalone public v1 type contract; internal mpv event and session-action types derive from it. Manifests may declare `apiVersion`, which is checked before loading code. Async activation is bounded and actions wait only for their own plugin. The host owns cached media snapshots and playback ids, including repeated loads of the same path. `ctx.signal` aborts as unloading starts; `ctx.onDispose` manages outside resources and late registrations are disposed immediately. Awaitable `ctx.mpv.request` uses the existing request/response transport. Plugin actions are the `runPluginAction` session action (keybinding command `__plugin-action:<id>/<name>`, CLI `--plugin-action <id>/<name>`); `runAction` waits for an in-progress load so a cold-start CLI action is not dropped. Each plugin gets `<config dir>/plugin-data/<id>/` as `ctx.dataDir`. `ctx.anki` carries the `card-mined` event with unique kept `noteIds` and per-original-note records. Sentence-card creation snapshots media and subtitle context before asynchronous work; the proxy snapshots before forwarding an upstream request. `AnkiIntegration` keeps provenance under original ids through merges and queued YouTube jobs; polling uses null provenance. The event is fed by `AnkiIntegration.setCardsReadyCallback`: polling, the AnkiConnect proxy, and sentence-card creation report a note once its enrichment finishes (or when they see it, if auto-update is off); `AnkiIntegration` holds a sentence card's report until field grouping finishes, and the pending YouTube media queue reports notes whose media it is still waiting on (directly or through the note field grouping merged them into), which is later than `recordCardsMined` (stats counts at add time). Stats-dashboard mining does not emit it. `ctx.anki.invoke` sends one action to the effective `ankiConnect.url` with no retries. `src/main/runtime/plugin-window-runtime.ts` owns plugin windows (`ctx.ui.openWindow`): one window per plugin + HTML path, raised above the overlay like the settings windows, destroyed on unload. `src/main/runtime/plugin-panel-runtime.ts` owns the single `plugin-panel` modal: a new panel aborts the previous handle's signal, updates broadcast to both overlay windows keyed by `panelId`, and the latest content is re-sent once the renderer acknowledges the open.
 - `src/renderer/` owns overlay rendering and input behavior.
 - `src/config/` owns config definitions, defaults, loading, and resolution.
 - `src/types/` owns shared cross-runtime contracts via domain entrypoints; `src/types.ts` stays a compatibility barrel.
 - `src/main/runtime/composers/` owns larger domain compositions.
+- `src/main/assemblies/` owns per-domain assemblies that `src/main.ts` builds once (see [Layering](./layering.md)).
 - `src/main.ts` call sites invoke configured runtime handlers and runtime-object methods directly;
   do not add local pass-through wrappers around them.
 
 ## Architecture Intent
 
+The dictionary backend is selected once at startup by `dictionaryBackend`. Yomitan keeps its existing session and external-profile policy. Hachidori uses `persist:hachidori`; overlay windows select that session before extension loading, including deferred startup. Named settings flags can open either backend without injecting a second reader into the active overlay. The detached stats word helper reads the same config key so dashboard mining uses the active backend.
+
+`setup-state.json` records one backend's status at a time plus `completedDictionaryBackends`, the backends that finished setup before. The app projects the file onto its active backend on startup and stamps that backend into the file. The launcher gates playback on the stamped backend when an app is already running, since a config edit takes effect only after restart.
+
+`vendor/hachidori/` is a submodule of `ksyasuda/hachidori`, tracking the `subminer` branch and pinned to a tested commit. Its nested HoshiDicts submodule and WASM binaries remain upstream versions. Initialize sources with `git submodule update --init --recursive`; merge upstream updates in the fork, test them, then update SubMiner's submodule commit. `SOURCE.json` records the upstream base and artifact checksums; the submodule commit identifies the integrated version. `build:hachidori` verifies recorded artifact checksums and stages the extension for development and packaging. It enables overlay mode, disables custom JavaScript, keeps the lookup highlight on in the overlay first-install options (SubMiner captures media from mpv, not the overlay viewport), removes the unsupported `userScripts` permission, and sets a fixed manifest `key` so the extension ID (and the storage origin holding its dictionaries and settings) does not depend on the userData path, only in that staged copy; the fork keeps upstream browser defaults. Before loading the extension, its session clears service worker registrations so Electron uses the current bundled code; dictionary databases and settings remain intact. First-run setup uses Hachidori sharing messages to link or unlink external dictionary hosts and checks their live inventory. Dictionary imports go through Hachidori's chunked upload requests (`hachidori-linked-import`): an unlinked install imports the ZIP itself and a linked one forwards it to its host. Linked hosts that do not advertise `linked-import-v1` (Hachidori before 0.2.3) cannot receive uploads, and the import reports where to import the ZIP by hand. Linked dictionaries and dictionary edits use the host, while Anki configuration, pronunciation sources, custom buttons, and mining stay local to SubMiner. The parser bridge adapts its runtime messages to the existing subtitle scanner and dictionary automation. Scanning retains term-entry frequencies, and only tokens without ranks need further frequency lookups through the existing term-entry API. This requires a matching definition entry and does not preserve the frequency source's reading provenance. SubMiner consumes native `hachidori-popup-shown` and `hachidori-popup-hidden` attention events for mouse handling, keyboard focus, and the subtitle sidebar. Attention also covers a left press anywhere on the overlay that may start a selection, and the host element only exists after the first lookup, so once a Hachidori event has been seen, popup auto-pause, popup key routing, controller lookup state, and the gate on imported mpv keys and mouse buttons require an unhidden popup pane in the host's shadow root. Auto-pause rechecks after each successful lookup. Hachidori's popup lives in the overlay document rather than an iframe, so wheel events over its host scroll the popup instead of forwarding to mpv. The fork retains host attributes, hover and successful-lookup notifications, and commands that need private reader state. The Anki proxy strips local duplicate/overwrite metadata before forwarding requests and enriches only confirmed writes.

Merges, moves, AniList reassignments, and `stats cleanup -l` use `repairLifetimeSummariesFromMedia` (recompute from the per-video media ledger).

 ## Rules
 
 - Keep `src/main.ts` thin; wire, do not implement.
+- Pass deps straight to a handler factory (`createXHandler({...})`). Do not add
+  deps builders (`createBuild*MainDepsHandler`, `*-main-deps.ts`) that re-wrap deps.
+  Adaptation logic (defaults, appState getters/setters, shared state) belongs in the
+  handler or in a named adapter that returns the deps directly.
+- Group a domain's runtimes in one assembly under `src/main/assemblies/` (for example
+  `createYoutubeAssembly(deps)`). It owns the domain's state, takes an explicit deps
+  object, and returns its runtimes; `main.ts` builds it once and calls through the result.
+  Siblings built later in `main.ts` are passed as getters or callbacks, and construction must
+  not call them.
+- An assembly that answers renderer IPC or CLI commands returns them as typed slices
+  (`IpcSlice<...>` / `CliSlice<...>` from `src/main/assemblies/slices.ts`). `main.ts`
+  spreads the slices into the registration and checks the result with
+  `satisfies Required<...>`, so a missing handler fails typecheck. Only app-level handlers
+  with no owning assembly stay inline in `main.ts`.
+- Electron modules that value-import named Electron APIs (`dialog`, `screen`, `shell`,
+  `clipboard`, `globalShortcut`, `Tray`, ...) cannot load under `bun test`. Pass those APIs
+  into an assembly as deps instead of importing them there.
 - Prefer injecting dependencies from `src/main/` instead of reaching outward from core services.
 - Keep side effects explicit and close to composition boundaries.
 - Put reusable business logic in focused services, not in top-level lifecycle files.

+## Date Ranges And Buckets
+
+- A range resolves to calendar days (`resolveTrendWindow`). Rollups are selected by day span, never by "last N rows", so sparse activity cannot pull older days into a range. Custom ranges are `{ startDay, endDay }` from `range=custom&fromDay&toDay`.
+- `all` spans the recorded data, not today.
+- Day and week buckets read daily rollups. Month buckets read monthly rollups for months wholly in range, because the `minimal` and `deep-history` retention presets prune daily rollups first, and daily rollups for a partly covered month. Weeks start on Monday.
+- `buckets` is the one axis for `activity`, `progress`, and `ratios`, index for index. Charts use it to map a clicked bar back to its days.
+- Each `progress` point is the total at the end of its period, and the chart adds the zero starting point.
+
 ## Data Sources
 
 - rollup-backed:
-  - activity charts
-  - cumulative watch/cards/tokens/sessions trends
-  - per-anime watch/cards/tokens/episodes series
+  - activity charts and running totals
+  - `titleTimeline`: sparse per-title minutes for active days only, because a dense title x day payload grew to several MB
 - session-metric-backed:
-  - lookup trends
-  - lookup rate trends
-  - watch-time by day-of-week/hour
+  - lookups and lookup rate
+  - `watchTimeByDayHour`, attributed to the hour each session started
+- rollup word counts and session metrics share one session query per request (`getTrendSessionRows`), so the per-session display-word count runs once instead of once per rollup query
+- `imm_videos.watched`-backed:
+  - finished episodes count each watched video once, on the last day it has a rollup, since the flag has no timestamp
 - vocabulary-backed:
-  - new-words trend reads permanent daily lexical rollups
-  - rollup rows count only vocabulary-visible tokens and normalize mixed legacy timestamp units
-  - a persisted rollup version invalidates stale materializations and triggers an atomic background rebuild
+  - `getNewWordFirstSeenRows` folds `imm_words` rows into dictionary words first, because the table is unique on (headword, word, reading) and stores each conjugation separately
+  - the aggregate scans every word, so it is cached per connection until `total_changes()` or `PRAGMA data_version` moves
+  - Trends new-word metrics exclude names; the Vocabulary tab offers both
+  - `imm_lexical_daily_rollups` is no longer read for new-word counts (it counts surface forms). Its version state still gates the `vocabulary_visible` backfill.
+
+## Vocabulary Word List
+
+`/api/stats/vocabulary/words` (`query-vocabulary-words.ts`) folds `imm_words` into dictionary words on the server and filters, sorts, and pages there, because a client-side list can only hold a slice of the table. The fold is cached per connection until a write, the same way as the new-word aggregate. `titles` is computed for the returned rows; sorting or filtering by it needs every word's count (about 900ms), so that map tolerates five minutes of staleness. Names are detected with `isProperNounPos2`, since merged tokens store tags like `固有名詞|一般`.
+
+## Rates
+
+Rates are `null` when the underlying data is under 30 active minutes or 2,000 words, and charts draw that as a gap. Daily views rate a trailing 7 calendar days, volume-weighted, which is why the query loads days before the range. Week and month views rate each bucket.
+
+## Title Filter
+
+`title` narrows totals, charts, and patterns. `librarySummary` and `titleTimeline` stay complete so the page can switch titles. New words have no per-title record, so `learning` and `summary.current.newWords` are `null` while filtered.

 For session detail timelines, omitting `limit` now means "return the full retained session telemetry/history". Explicit `limit` remains available for bounded callers, but the default stats UI path should not trim long sessions to the newest 200 samples.

+> This is a prerelease build for testing. Stable changelog and docs-site updates remain pending until the final stable release.
+
+<!-- prerelease-version: 0.22.1-beta.1 -->
+
+## Highlights
+### Fixed
+- **Windows Overlay**:
+  - The overlay now finds mpv more reliably, without relying on PowerShell lookups.
+  - You can now configure the IPC socket in `mpv.conf`.
+  - The overlay no longer stays attached to an unrelated window after mpv's process ID is reused.
+  - Stalled overlays now log diagnostic warnings without debug logging enabled.
+
+### Docs
+- **Windows Overlay Troubleshooting**: Added a guide to collecting and interpreting overlay attachment and readiness warnings without debug logging.
+
+## What's Changed
+
+- fix(overlay): identify Windows mpv windows through IPC PID by @ksyasuda in #330
+
+## Installation
+
+See the README and docs/installation guide for full setup steps.
+
+## Assets
+
+- Linux: `SubMiner.AppImage`
+- macOS: `SubMiner-*.dmg` and `SubMiner-*.zip`
+- Windows: `SubMiner-*.exe` and `SubMiner-*-win.zip`
+- Optional extras: `subminer-assets.tar.gz`, the `subminer` launcher, and the Windows `subminer.cmd` launcher
+- Bun corresponding source: `bun-v1.3.5-source.tar.gz` and its `.sha256` file
+
+Both launcher downloads use Bun included with the SubMiner app. Download `subminer` on Linux or macOS and `subminer.cmd` on Windows.
+
+The app bundles an unmodified Bun 1.3.5 runtime. Bun is MIT licensed and statically links JavaScriptCore (LGPL 2.0) and TinyCC (LGPL 2.1). License texts and third-party notices ship inside the app under `resources/bun/licenses`, and the source archive above contains the matching Bun, WebKit, and dependency sources for relinking.

+## Highlights
+### Added
+- **Plugins**:
+  - JavaScript plugins load from `<config dir>/plugins/<id>/` and are enabled under `plugins` in the config.
+  - Plugins can react to mpv events and mined cards, call AnkiConnect, run programs, and show results in an overlay panel or window.
+  - Three examples are included: `ai-explain` for line explanations, `anki-sync` for AnkiWeb syncing, and `episode-tags` for tagging cards by show and episode.
+- **Subtitle Filters**: Remove parenthesized text, sound descriptions, speaker names, music notes, or custom regex matches from primary subtitles. Configure them in Settings under Behavior → Subtitle Filters.
+- **Controller Dialog Layouts**: The media timing review and duplicate card dialogs can now be fully operated by controller and show button hints. Remap both layouts per controller in `Alt+C`.
+- **Controller Customization**:
+  - `Alt+C` actions can be combos: click **Learn**, hold one button, and press another.
+  - New unbound actions cover subtitle navigation, holding to show the secondary subtitle, Yomitan entry selection, and character navigation.
+  - **Button Style** offers Xbox, Nintendo, or PlayStation names and symbols, saved per controller.
+  - `Alt+C` now warns when two actions share an input.
+- **Keyboard-Only Mode**: Press `C` to move and look up by character, reaching words split by subtitle tokenization. **Pause Video In Keyboard-Only Mode** can also pause when the mode turns on and resume when it turns off.
+- **Jimaku Auto-Open**: Set `jimaku.autoOpenWhenPrimarySubtitleMissing` to pause and open Jimaku when a local video has no Japanese subtitle track. Playback resumes when the modal closes.
+
+### Changed
+- **Stats Trends**: Rebuilt with period comparisons, Learning charts, a heatmap, a title timeline, and a single running-total chart. Week grouping, custom ranges, a page-wide title filter, and click-through to sessions and library pages are also new.
+- **Stats Vocabulary**:
+  - Rebuilt around one searchable, sortable word table with Worth mining, All words, Across titles, and Newest views.
+  - Added known words by frequency band, a vocabulary growth chart, and a full kanji view.
+  - New word counts now count dictionary words, so a word's conjugations count once and totals are lower than before.
+  - Words and lines from streams now say they can't be mined, instead of showing Unavailable buttons.
+- **Controller Behavior**: **Toggle MPV Pause** now works outside keyboard-only mode. Controller connected and disabled messages now follow your regular notification setting instead of using a separate overlay pill.
+- **Keyboard-Only Mode Exit**: Turning the mode off now also closes the dictionary popup.
+- **Hachidori**: The bundled dictionary reader is updated to 0.4.0, adding every pitch accent in each popup entry, pitch drawn on the headword reading, per-kanji furigana, and Yomitan-style definition tags.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Controller Settings (`Alt+C`)**:
+  - Remaps now apply right away, without restarting SubMiner.
+  - Editing stays locked until you press a button, so the window can't edit a controller it can't see.
+  - With several controllers connected, it selects and listens to the one you just pressed.
+  - **Learn**, **Clear**, and **Reset** are reachable again, D-pad **Learn** no longer errors, and button names are correct on standard-layout pads.
+- **Controller Input**: One press no longer runs its action twice on macOS and Windows. On macOS, buttons now work while mpv is in front.
+- **Dictionary Popup**: Controller and keyboard lookups pause and resume playback reliably, and moving between words right after closing the popup no longer reopens it.
+- **Anki Sentence Audio**: `ankiConnect.fields.audio` now defaults to `SentenceAudio`, so generated audio no longer overwrites Yomitan's word audio. If you relied on the old default, set it to `ExpressionAudio`.
+- **AniList**: Progress sync now adds an exactly matched or pinned show to your Watching or Completed list when it isn't on your list yet. Completed, Paused, Dropped, and Rewatching entries are never changed.
+- **Stats Dashboard**:
+  - Overview, media, library, trends, vocabulary, and sentence search load several times faster on large databases.
+  - Trends totals, episode counts, rate charts, axis labels, and date handling in time zones ahead of UTC are corrected.
+  - Word lists now total every form of a word and show the dictionary form's reading.
+  - Names no longer slip past Hide Names, and totals stay correct after vocabulary cleanup.
+- **Playback**: Reloading the current file in mpv no longer leaves playback paused, and the "Overlay loading" message no longer gets stuck when moving to the next playlist file.
+- **AppImage**: "Service Crash" notifications on quit no longer appear on Ubuntu 26.04 and newer.
+
+### Docs
+- **Keyboard and Controller Reference**: Keyboard shortcuts now list the keyboard-only `C` key, and the configuration reference points to Controller support for default button actions.

-
-<!-- prerelease-version: 0.20.1-beta.2; since: v0.20.1-beta.1 -->
-
-## Changes since v0.20.1-beta.1
-
-- Upgraded the desktop runtime to Electron 43.7.7.
-- SubMiner now refuses to start on an unsupported Electron runtime, or after an Electron major or minor downgrade, so your Yomitan profile data stays safe; patch downgrades are still allowed.
-- Automatic character-dictionary updates now stop if a Yomitan profile that had dictionaries suddenly reports none.
-- Development launches now use a separate `SubMiner-dev` profile unless you explicitly ask for the production profile.
-- Sentence mining (single and multi-line) no longer counts each card twice in session and lifetime stats.
-- Deleting sessions now updates word and kanji "first seen" and "last seen" dates correctly, and retention pruning keeps historical discovery dates and counts.
-- Words hidden by the vocabulary filter are no longer counted in the new-words charts, so the charts now match the vocabulary summary.
-- A one-time background repair on next launch fixes stale "last seen" dates and existing chart mismatches.
-- Overview totals, charts, the activity calendar, and the vocabulary summary now refresh after you delete sessions, and a failed refresh keeps the dashboard visible with a retry option.
-- Subtitle generation now works during Windows YouTube playback and loads the generated subtitles into the playing video.
-- On Windows, moving on to a video queued from the YouTube browser window no longer drops the rest of mpv's queue.
-- The stats docs now cover the automatic Overview refresh after deletions and how discovery dates are kept through retention pruning.
-
-## Highlights
-### Added
-
-- **YouTube Browser Window**:
-  - Open it with `subminer youtube` (or `subminer yt`), or pick **Browse YouTube** from the tray. It stays logged in across restarts.
-  - Clicking a video plays it in mpv. Middle-click, Shift-click, Ctrl-click, or the right-click menu adds it to mpv's playlist.
-  - Queued videos get the same Japanese subtitle setup when they start.
-  - Closing the window quits SubMiner if you started it with `subminer youtube`. If a video is still playing, SubMiner waits until mpv closes.
-- **Whisper Subtitles for YouTube**:
-  - Set `youtube.subtitleSource` to `whisper` to make subtitles with Whisper instead of downloading YouTube's captions.
-  - The video stays paused while Whisper works, and progress shows in the subtitle generation modal. You can close the modal to keep watching, or cancel.
-  - The subtitle generation modal (`Ctrl+Shift+G`) now works on YouTube videos, including on Windows.
-- **Mouse and Scroll Wheel Bindings**:
-  - You can now use scroll wheel keys (`WHEEL_UP`, `WHEEL_DOWN`, `WHEEL_LEFT`, `WHEEL_RIGHT`) in `keybindings` and record them in the settings key editor.
-  - mpv's mouse button and wheel bindings now work while the cursor is over the overlay. This matters most on Hyprland, where these bindings did nothing before.
-  - When a binding conflicts, SubMiner's own bindings and right-click pause take priority over mpv's.
-- **Session Help Commands**: During playback, press `Enter` or double-click a row in session help to run that command. Hovering over a row makes it the target for `Enter`.
-
-### Changed
-
-- **Release Assets**: Releases no longer include package-size JSON reports.
-
-### Fixed
-
-- **Jellyfin Subtitles**:
-  - The Japanese track is selected, and annotations start, as soon as it downloads. SubMiner no longer waits for the other tracks.
-  - Japanese and English tracks are now picked automatically on episodes with image-based subtitles (PGS, DVD, DVB).
-  - If one track fails to download, the other tracks are still selected.
-- **Jellyfin Audio Track**: On direct-play streams, timing review previews and mined card audio now use the audio track you're playing.
-- **Media Timing Review**:
-  - Trim handles are now thin lines centered on the clip edges.
-  - Original subtitle boundaries are now plain orange bars with no labels.
-  - The preview cursor no longer stutters on macOS with Bluetooth headphones such as AirPods.
-- **Hyprland Fullscreen**: The overlay stays visible when mpv enters or leaves fullscreen. With `mpv.backend: x11`, subtitles and the sidebar stay clickable after going fullscreen.
-- **mpv Key Bindings in the Overlay**: mpv key bindings, such as `9`/`0` for volume, now work while the overlay has focus, even when the overlay loaded before mpv connected.
-- **YouTube Japanese Subtitles**: Some videos also list a machine-translated Japanese track. On those, Japanese subtitles no longer fail with "HTTP 429". If YouTube refuses a direct download, SubMiner retries with yt-dlp.
-- **Stats Accuracy**:
-  - Sentence mining no longer counts each card twice in session and lifetime stats.
-  - Overview totals, charts, the activity calendar, and the vocabulary summary now update after you delete sessions.
-  - Word and kanji dates stay correct after deleting sessions. New-word charts now match the vocabulary summary.
-- **Dictionary Safety**: Automatic character dictionary changes now stop if a Yomitan profile that had dictionaries suddenly reports none. SubMiner also refuses to load Yomitan data after a downgrade to an older Electron version.
-- **AppImage in Sandboxes**: The AppImage now opens its window in sandboxes that mount the image themselves, such as `firejail --appimage`.
-- **Ctrl+C Crash**: Stopping the terminal command that started SubMiner with Ctrl+C no longer crashes it with a "write EPIPE" error.
-- **Security Updates**: Electron is updated to 43.7.7 and undici to 7.29.1, which fixes known security advisories.

-### Docs
-
-- **Docs Site Rewrite**: Pages are shorter and easier to scan. The configuration reference now has a short explanation and a table of keys and defaults for each config block. Pages that no longer matched current behavior are fixed.
-- **Arch Linux Install**: The MeCab install command now uses the AUR package `mecab-git`. The README now matches the installation guide.
-- **Stats**: The docs now cover the Overview refreshing after you delete sessions, and how first-seen dates are kept when old sessions are cleaned up.
