 How fragments turn into a release:

 - At release time, `bun run changelog:build` (and `bun run changelog:prerelease-notes`) pipes every pending fragment through `claude -p` to merge related items, drop noise, and rewrite into a clean user-facing release body. Write fragments as raw, informative notes — don't worry about polished prose, deduping across PRs, or line-by-line phrasing. The polish step handles all of that.
+- 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.
 - `internal` fragments stay in `CHANGELOG.md` (inside a collapsed `<details>` block) but are dropped from the GitHub release notes entirely.
 - The polished `CHANGELOG.md` and `release/release-notes.md` are committed and reviewed before tagging — edit the Markdown by hand if Claude misses something.

 Prerelease notes:

 - prerelease tags like `v0.11.3-beta.1` and `v0.11.3-rc.1` reuse the current pending fragments to generate `release/prerelease-notes.md`
+- 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
 - prerelease note generation does not consume fragments and does not update `CHANGELOG.md` or `docs-site/changelog.md`
 - the final stable release is the point where `bun run changelog:build` consumes fragments into the stable changelog and release notes

(AniList is an online anime/manga database; SubMiner pulls each show's character list from it.)

 The dictionary is generated per-media, merged across your recently-watched titles, and auto-imported into Yomitan. When a character name appears in a subtitle line, it gets highlighted and becomes available for hover-driven Yomitan profile lookup.

Two related keys in the `mpv` block tune startup behavior: `mpv.autoStartSubMiner` starts the overlay automatically when a file loads, and `mpv.pauseUntilOverlayReady` pauses mpv on visible auto-start until SubMiner signals overlay/tokenization readiness.

 On Windows, packaged plugin installs also rewrite the plugin socket path to `\\.\pipe\subminer-socket`.

+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.

Pick an episode, cast it to SubMiner, and it plays in SubMiner's mpv window with the full overlay and Yomitan click-to-lookup.
+
+This is the recommended way to use Jellyfin with SubMiner. A terminal-only option is covered in [Launcher playback](#launcher-playback) at the end.

 ## Requirements

- Jellyfin server URL and user credentials
- For `--jellyfin-play`: connected mpv IPC socket (`--start` or existing mpv plugin workflow)
- On Linux, token encryption defaults to `gnome-libsecret`; pass `--password-store=<backend>` to override.
+- A Jellyfin server plus your username and password
+- SubMiner installed and running (see [Installation](/installation))
+- On Linux, the session token is stored with `gnome-libsecret` by default

-## Setup
+## Quick start

-1. Set base config values (`config.jsonc`):
+### 1. Start SubMiner
+
+Launch SubMiner so it's running in the system tray.
+
+### 2. Sign in to your server
+
+Open the tray menu and click **Configure Jellyfin**. In the window that opens, enter your **Server URL** (for example `http://127.0.0.1:8096`), **Username**, and **Password**, then click **Login**.
+
+On success, SubMiner:
+
+- saves an encrypted session token — your password is never stored,
+- turns the Jellyfin integration on, and
+- remembers the server and username for next time.
+
+Reopen this window any time to switch servers or **Logout**.
+
+### 3. Turn on discovery
+
+Discovery is what makes SubMiner appear as a cast target. Two ways to enable it:
+
+- **For the current session** — open the tray menu and tick **Jellyfin Discovery**. (This item appears once you've signed in.)
+- **Automatically on every launch** — already on by default. After your first sign-in, SubMiner auto-connects to Jellyfin at startup, so the cast target is ready without touching the tray. You can change this under [Settings](#settings).
+
+### 4. Cast from any Jellyfin app
+
+In the Jellyfin web UI or mobile app, start playing something, open the **cast / "Play on"** menu, and pick your device — SubMiner appears there named after your computer's hostname. Playback opens in SubMiner.
+
+From then on, pause / resume / seek / stop and audio or subtitle track changes you make in the Jellyfin app are mirrored in SubMiner, and your watch progress syncs back to Jellyfin (now-playing and resume position).
+
+## What happens during playback
+
+- **mpv launches automatically.** If mpv isn't already running when you cast, SubMiner starts it with SubMiner defaults and the bundled mpv plugin, so keybindings work right away.
+- **The overlay is managed by SubMiner,** so your configured `subtitleStyle` controls how subtitles look. Use the [overlay-toggle shortcut](/shortcuts) to hide it for a session.
+- **Resume works.** If Jellyfin has a saved position for the item, SubMiner seeks there on load.
+- **Direct play first.** When the source allows it and the container is in your direct-play allowlist, SubMiner streams the original file; otherwise it requests a transcoded stream from Jellyfin.
+- **Japanese subtitles are auto-selected,** preferring Jellyfin's default and embedded tracks over external sidecar files when several match.
+- **Subtitle timing is corrected when possible.** SubMiner removes Jellyfin's server-selected subtitle stream from the mpv load URL, suppresses the mpv plugin's one-shot subtitle auto-selection and overlay auto-start for managed Jellyfin loads, stages downloaded subtitle tracks without letting mpv auto-switch between tracks, then selects the Japanese track once after applying any saved or inferred timing delay. When Jellyfin provides both Japanese and English subtitle files, SubMiner compares their cue timelines and applies a global delay if one track is clearly offset. Manual delay shifts you make with SubMiner's adjacent-cue controls are saved per item and subtitle track, then restored the next time you select that track.
+
+## Settings
+
+All Jellyfin options live under **Settings → Integrations → Jellyfin** (open settings from the tray's **Open SubMiner Settings**). The ones that matter for casting:
+
+| Setting                         | Default | What it does                                                                                                          |
+| ------------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Enabled**                     | Off     | Turns the Jellyfin integration on. Switched on for you when you sign in.                                              |
+| **Server Url**                  | —       | Your Jellyfin server. Filled in when you sign in.                                                                     |
+| **Remote Control Enabled**      | On      | Lets SubMiner act as a cast target.                                                                                   |
+| **Remote Control Auto Connect** | On      | Connects to Jellyfin at startup so discovery is automatic. Turn off if you'd rather start it from the tray each time. |
+| **Auto Announce**               | Off     | Re-broadcasts visibility on connect. Enable if your device is slow to appear in the cast menu.                        |
+
+Prefer editing the config file? The same keys live under `jellyfin` in `config.jsonc`:

 ```jsonc
 {
  "jellyfin": {
    "enabled": true,
    "serverUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:8096",
-    "recentServers": ["http://127.0.0.1:8096"],
-    "username": "your-user",
    "remoteControlEnabled": true,
    "remoteControlAutoConnect": true,
-    "autoAnnounce": false,
-    "remoteControlDeviceName": "SubMiner",
-    "defaultLibraryId": "",
-    "pullPictures": false,
-    "iconCacheDir": "/tmp/subminer-jellyfin-icons",
-    "directPlayPreferred": true,
-    "directPlayContainers": ["mkv", "mp4", "webm", "mov", "flac", "mp3", "aac"],
-    "transcodeVideoCodec": "h264",
  },
 }
 ```

-2. Authenticate:
+See [Configuration](/configuration) for the full list (transcode codec, direct-play containers, default library, and more).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**SubMiner doesn't appear in the cast menu**
+
+- Make sure SubMiner is running.
+- Make sure you're signed in — reopen **Configure Jellyfin** and log in again if your token expired.
+- Make sure discovery is on (tray **Jellyfin Discovery**, or **Remote Control Auto Connect** in settings).
+- Make sure SubMiner and the Jellyfin client point at the same server.
+
+**Casting starts but nothing plays**
+
+- Confirm the item plays normally in another Jellyfin client.
+- If mpv was closed, give it a moment — SubMiner launches it on demand and retries.
+
+**SubMiner keeps disconnecting**
+
+- Check server/network stability and whether the session token has expired.
+
+## Security notes
+
+- The Jellyfin session (access token + user ID) is kept in SubMiner's local encrypted token storage. Your password is used only to log in and is never saved.
+- Treat the token storage and your `config.jsonc` as secrets — don't commit them.
+- Advanced/headless: the `SUBMINER_JELLYFIN_ACCESS_TOKEN` and `SUBMINER_JELLYFIN_USER_ID` environment variables can supply a session without the sign-in window.
+
+## Launcher playback
+
+If you'd rather stay in the terminal, the `subminer` launcher can browse and play Jellyfin media directly, without casting from a Jellyfin app:

 ```bash
-subminer jellyfin
-subminer jellyfin -l \
-  --server http://127.0.0.1:8096 \
-  --username your-user \
-  --password 'your-password'
+subminer jellyfin -p      # alias: subminer jf -p
 ```

-`subminer jellyfin` opens the setup window. It pre-fills the server URL from the configured server, a recent successful server, or the local default. Successful login keeps the window open, stores the Jellyfin session token in encrypted storage, updates the configured server/username/client metadata, and refreshes recent servers. Passwords are never stored.
-
-3. List libraries:
-
-```bash
-SubMiner.AppImage --jellyfin-libraries
-```
-
-Launcher wrapper equivalent for interactive playback flow:
-
-```bash
-subminer jellyfin -p
-```
-
-Launcher wrapper for Jellyfin cast discovery mode (background app + tray):
-
-```bash
-subminer jellyfin -d
-```
-
-After Jellyfin is enabled with a server URL and SubMiner is already running, the tray menu shows `Jellyfin Discovery`. Use that checkbox to start or stop discovery for the current runtime session without changing config. If the stored login session is missing or expired, starting discovery shows a warning and setup remains the path to refresh credentials. It does not survive app restart.
-
-Stop discovery session/app:
-
-```bash
-subminer app --stop
-```
-
-`subminer jf ...` is an alias for `subminer jellyfin ...`.
-
-To clear saved session credentials:
-
-```bash
-subminer jellyfin --logout
-```
-
-4. List items in a library:
-
-```bash
-SubMiner.AppImage --jellyfin-items --jellyfin-library-id LIBRARY_ID --jellyfin-search term
-```
-
-Optional listing controls:
-
- `--jellyfin-recursive=true|false` (default: true)
- `--jellyfin-include-item-types=Series,Season,Folder,CollectionFolder,Movie,...`
-
-These are used by the launcher picker flow to:
-
- keep root search focused on shows/folders/movies (exclude episode rows)
- browse selected anime/show directories as folder-or-file lists
- recurse for playable files only after selecting a folder
-
-5. Start playback:
-
-```bash
-SubMiner.AppImage --start
-SubMiner.AppImage --jellyfin-play --jellyfin-item-id ITEM_ID
-```
-
-Optional stream overrides:
-
- `--jellyfin-audio-stream-index N`
- `--jellyfin-subtitle-stream-index N`
-
-## Playback Behavior
-
- Direct play is attempted first when:
-  - `jellyfin.directPlayPreferred=true`
-  - media source supports direct stream
-  - source container matches `jellyfin.directPlayContainers`
- If direct play is not selected/available, SubMiner requests a Jellyfin transcoded stream (`master.m3u8`) using `jellyfin.transcodeVideoCodec`.
- Resume position (`PlaybackPositionTicks`) is applied via mpv seek.
- Media title is set in mpv as `[Jellyfin/<mode>] <title>`.
-
-## Cast To Device Mode (jellyfin-mpv-shim style)
-
-When SubMiner is running with a valid Jellyfin session, it can appear as a
-remote playback target in Jellyfin's cast-to-device menu.
-
-### Requirements
-
- `jellyfin.enabled=true`
- valid `jellyfin.serverUrl` and Jellyfin auth session (env override or stored login session)
- `jellyfin.remoteControlEnabled=true` (default)
- `jellyfin.remoteControlAutoConnect=true` (default) for startup auto-connect
- `jellyfin.autoAnnounce=false` by default (`true` enables auto announce/visibility check logs on connect)
-
-### Behavior
-
- SubMiner connects to Jellyfin remote websocket and posts playback capabilities.
- Startup auto-connect still requires `remoteControlAutoConnect=true`; the tray `Jellyfin Discovery` checkbox can start discovery later even when startup auto-connect is disabled.
- `Play` events open media in mpv with the same defaults used by `--jellyfin-play`.
- If mpv IPC is not connected at cast time, SubMiner auto-launches mpv in idle mode with SubMiner defaults and retries playback.
- `Playstate` events map to mpv pause/resume/seek/stop controls.
- Stream selection commands (`SetAudioStreamIndex`, `SetSubtitleStreamIndex`) are mapped to mpv track selection.
- SubMiner reports start/progress/stop timeline updates back to Jellyfin so now-playing and resume state stay synchronized.
- `--jellyfin-remote-announce` forces an immediate capability re-broadcast and logs whether server sessions can see the device.
-
-### Troubleshooting
-
- Device not visible in Jellyfin cast menu:
-  - ensure SubMiner is running
-  - ensure session token is valid (`--jellyfin-login` again if needed)
-  - ensure `remoteControlEnabled` is true
-  - use tray `Jellyfin Discovery` or `subminer jellyfin -d` to start discovery
- Cast command received but playback does not start:
-  - verify mpv IPC can connect (`--start` flow)
-  - verify item is playable from normal `--jellyfin-play --jellyfin-item-id ...`
- Frequent reconnects:
-  - check Jellyfin server/network stability and token expiration
-
-## Failure Handling
-
-User-visible errors are shown through CLI logs and mpv OSD for:
-
- invalid credentials
- expired/invalid token
- server/network errors
- missing library/item identifiers
- no playable source
- mpv not connected for playback
-
-## Security Notes and Limitations
-
- Jellyfin auth session (`accessToken` + `userId`) is stored in local encrypted token storage after login/setup.
- Launcher wrappers support `--password-store=<backend>` and forward it through to the app process.
- Optional environment overrides are supported: `SUBMINER_JELLYFIN_ACCESS_TOKEN` and `SUBMINER_JELLYFIN_USER_ID`.
- Treat both token storage and config files as secrets and avoid committing them.
- Password is used only for login and is not stored.
- Optional setup UI is available via `--jellyfin`; all actions are also available via CLI flags.
- `subminer` wrapper uses Jellyfin subcommands (`subminer jellyfin ...`, alias `subminer jf ...`). Use `SubMiner.AppImage` for direct `--jellyfin-libraries` and `--jellyfin-items`.
- For direct app CLI usage (`SubMiner.AppImage ...`), `--jellyfin-server` can override server URL for login/play flows without editing config.
+This opens an fzf picker (add `-R` for rofi) to browse your libraries and episodes, then plays the selected item in SubMiner's mpv with the same overlay, resume, and subtitle behavior described above. Sign in first (step 2) so the launcher can reach your server. See [Launcher Script](/launcher-script) for the rest of the launcher's features.

 ## Overview

-SubMiner runs as a transparent overlay on top of mpv. As subtitles play, the overlay displays them as interactive text. You hover a word, trigger Yomitan lookup with your configured lookup key/modifier, then create an Anki card with a single action. SubMiner automatically attaches the sentence, audio clip, and screenshot.
+*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.

-## Subtitle Delivery Path (Startup + Runtime)
+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.

-SubMiner prioritizes subtitle responsiveness over heavy initialization:
-
-1. The first subtitle render is **plain text first** (no tokenization wait).
-2. Tokenized enrichment (word spans, known-word flags, JLPT/frequency metadata) is applied right after parsing completes.
-3. Under rapid subtitle churn, SubMiner uses a **latest-only tokenization queue** so stale lines are dropped instead of building lag.
-4. MeCab, Yomitan extension load, and dictionary prewarm run as background warmups after overlay initialization (configurable via `startupWarmups`, including low-power mode).
-
-This keeps early playback snappy and avoids mpv-side sluggishness while startup work completes.
-
-## Overlay Model
-
-SubMiner uses one overlay window with modal surfaces.
-
-### Primary Subtitle Layer
-
-The visible overlay renders subtitles as tokenized hoverable word spans. Each word is a separate element with reading and headword data attached. This plane is styled independently from mpv subtitles and supports:
-
- Word-level hover targets for Yomitan lookup
- Auto pause/resume on subtitle hover (enabled by default via `subtitleStyle.autoPauseVideoOnHover`)
- Auto pause/resume while the Yomitan popup is open (enabled by default via `subtitleStyle.autoPauseVideoOnYomitanPopup`)
- Right-click to pause/resume
- Right-click + drag to reposition subtitles
- Modal dialogs for Jimaku search, field grouping, subsync, and runtime options
- **Reading annotations** — known words, N+1 targets, character-name matches, JLPT levels, and frequency hits can all be visually highlighted
-
-Toggle visibility with `Alt+Shift+O` (global) or `y-t` (mpv plugin).
-
-### Secondary Subtitle Bar
-
-The secondary subtitle bar is a compact top-strip region in the same overlay window for translation/context visibility while keeping primary reading flow below. It mirrors your configured secondary subtitle preference and can be independently shown or hidden.
-
-It is controlled by `secondarySub` configuration and shares lifecycle with the main overlay window.
-
-### Modal Surfaces
-
-Jimaku search, field-grouping, runtime options, and manual subsync open as modal surfaces on top of the same overlay window.
-
-## Looking Up Words
-
-1. Hover over the subtitle area — the overlay activates pointer events.
-2. Hover the word you want. SubMiner keeps per-token boundaries so Yomitan can target that token cleanly.
-3. Trigger Yomitan lookup with your configured lookup key/modifier (for example `Shift` if that is how your Yomitan profile is set up).
-4. Yomitan opens its lookup popup for the hovered token.
-5. From the popup, add the word to Anki.
-
-### Controller Workflow
-
-With a gamepad connected and keyboard-only mode enabled, the full mining loop works without a mouse or keyboard:
-
-1. **Navigate** — push the left stick left/right to move the token highlight across subtitle words.
-2. **Look up** — press `A` to trigger Yomitan lookup on the highlighted word.
-3. **Browse the popup** — push the left stick up/down to smooth-scroll through the Yomitan popup, or use the right stick for larger jumps.
-4. **Cycle audio** — press `R1` to move to the next dictionary audio entry, `L1` to play the current one.
-5. **Mine** — press `X` to create an Anki card for the current sentence (same as `Ctrl+S`).
-6. **Close** — press `B` to dismiss the Yomitan popup and return to subtitle navigation.
-7. **Pause/resume** — press `L3` (left stick click) to toggle mpv pause at any time.
-
-After controller support is enabled, the controller and keyboard can be used interchangeably — switching mid-session is seamless. Toggle keyboard-only mode on or off with `Y` on the controller.
-
-See [Usage — Controller Support](/usage#controller-support) for setup details and [Configuration — Controller Support](/configuration#controller-support) for the full mapping and tuning options.

-## Secondary Subtitles
-
-SubMiner can display a secondary subtitle track (typically English) alongside the primary Japanese subtitles. This is useful for:
-
- Quick comprehension checks without leaving the mining flow.
- Auto-populating the translation field on mined cards.
-
-### Display Modes
-
-Cycle through modes with the configured shortcut:
-
- **Hidden**: Secondary subtitle not shown.
- **Visible**: Always displayed below the primary subtitle.
- **Hover**: Only shown when you hover over the primary subtitle.
-
-When a card is created, SubMiner uses the secondary subtitle text as the translation field value (unless AI translation is configured to override it).
-
-## Field Grouping (Kiku)
+### Field Grouping (Kiku)

 If you mine the same word from different sentences, SubMiner can merge the cards instead of creating duplicates. This feature is designed for use with [Kiku](https://github.com/youyoumu/kiku) and similar note types that support grouped fields.

-### How It Works
-
 1. You add a word via Yomitan.
 2. SubMiner detects the new card and checks if a card with the same expression already exists.
-3. If a duplicate is found:
-   - **Auto mode** (`fieldGrouping: "auto"`): Merges automatically. Both sentences, audio clips, and images are combined into the existing card. The duplicate is optionally deleted.
-   - **Manual mode** (`fieldGrouping: "manual"`): A modal appears showing both cards side by side. You choose which card to keep and preview the merged result before confirming.
+3. If a duplicate is found (this requires `ankiConnect.isKiku.fieldGrouping` to be set to `"auto"` or `"manual"`; it defaults to `"disabled"`):

-## Jimaku Subtitle Search
+## Overlay Model

-SubMiner integrates with [Jimaku](https://jimaku.cc) to search and download subtitle files for anime directly from the overlay.
+SubMiner uses one overlay window with modal surfaces. It carries two subtitle bars — a primary reading bar and a secondary translation/context bar — plus modal dialogs that open on top.

-1. Open the Jimaku modal via the configured shortcut (`Ctrl+Shift+J` by default).
-2. SubMiner auto-fills the search from the current video filename (title, season, episode).
-3. Browse matching entries and select a subtitle file to download.
-4. The subtitle is loaded into mpv as a new track.
+Toggle the entire overlay window with `Alt+Shift+O` (global) or `y-t` (mpv plugin).

-Requires an internet connection. An API key (`jimaku.apiKey`) is optional but recommended for higher rate limits.
+### Primary Subtitle Layer

-## Texthooker
+The primary bar renders subtitles as tokenized hoverable word spans. Each word is a separate element with reading and headword data attached. This plane is styled independently from mpv subtitles and supports:

-SubMiner runs a local HTTP server at `http://127.0.0.1:5174` (configurable port) that serves a texthooker UI. This allows external tools — such as a browser-based Yomitan instance — to receive subtitle text in real time.
+- Word-level hover targets for Yomitan lookup
+- Auto pause/resume on subtitle hover (enabled by default via `subtitleStyle.autoPauseVideoOnHover`)
+- Auto pause/resume while the Yomitan popup is open (enabled by default via `subtitleStyle.autoPauseVideoOnYomitanPopup`)
+- Right-click to pause/resume
+- Right-click + drag to reposition subtitles
+- **Reading annotations** — known words, N+1 targets, character-name matches, JLPT levels, and frequency hits can all be visually highlighted

-The texthooker page displays the current subtitle and updates as new lines arrive. This is useful if you prefer to do lookups in a browser rather than through the overlay's built-in Yomitan.
+### Secondary Subtitle Bar

-If you want to build your own browser client, websocket consumer, or automation relay, see [WebSocket / Texthooker API & Integration](/websocket-texthooker-api).
+The secondary bar is a compact top-strip region in the same overlay window. It shows a secondary subtitle track (typically English) for translation/context while keeping the primary reading flow below. It is useful for:
+
+- Quick comprehension checks without leaving the mining flow.
+- Auto-populating the translation field on mined cards — when a card is created, SubMiner uses the secondary subtitle text as the translation field value (unless AI translation is configured to override it).
+
+It is controlled by `secondarySub` configuration and shares its lifecycle with the main overlay window. Cycle which track feeds it with `Shift+J`.
+
+### Display Modes
+
+Both the primary and secondary subtitle bars share the same three visibility modes, and each can be changed independently at runtime:
+
+- **Hidden** — the bar is not shown.
+- **Visible** — the bar is always shown.
+- **Hover** — the bar is revealed only while you hover over the overlay.
+
+By default the **primary** bar is `visible` (`subtitleStyle.primaryDefaultMode`) and the **secondary** bar is `hover` (`secondarySub.defaultMode`).
+
+Cycle each bar's mode at runtime with its own shortcut:
+
+| Shortcut             | Action                                                   | Config key                     |
+| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
+| `V`                  | Cycle primary subtitle mode (hidden → visible → hover)   | overlay-local                  |
+| `Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+V`   | Cycle secondary subtitle mode (hidden → visible → hover) | `shortcuts.toggleSecondarySub` |
+
+### Modal Surfaces
+
+Jimaku search, field-grouping, runtime options, and manual subsync open as modal surfaces on top of the same overlay window.
+
+## Looking Up Words
+

+2. Hover the word you want. SubMiner keeps per-token boundaries so Yomitan can target that token cleanly.
+3. Trigger Yomitan lookup with your configured lookup key/modifier (for example `Shift` if that is how your Yomitan profile is set up).
+4. Yomitan opens its lookup popup for the hovered token.
+5. From the popup, add the word to Anki.
+
+### Controller Workflow
+
+With a gamepad connected and keyboard-only mode enabled, the full mining loop works without a mouse or keyboard:
+
+1. **Navigate** — push the left stick left/right to move the token highlight across subtitle words.
+2. **Look up** — press `A` to trigger Yomitan lookup on the highlighted word.
+3. **Browse the popup** — push the left stick up/down to smooth-scroll through the Yomitan popup, or use the right stick for larger jumps.
+4. **Cycle audio** — press `R1` to move to the next dictionary audio entry, `L1` to play the current one.
+5. **Mine** — press `X` to create an Anki card for the current sentence (same as `Ctrl+S`).
+6. **Close** — press `B` to dismiss the Yomitan popup and return to subtitle navigation.
+7. **Pause/resume** — press `L3` (left stick click) to toggle mpv pause at any time.
+
+After controller support is enabled, the controller and keyboard can be used interchangeably — switching mid-session is seamless. Toggle keyboard-only mode on or off with `Y` on the controller.
+

-## N+1 Word Highlighting
+## Texthooker

-When enabled, SubMiner cross-references your Anki decks to highlight known words in the overlay, making true N+1 sentences (exactly one unknown word) easy to spot during immersion.
+SubMiner runs a local HTTP server at `http://127.0.0.1:5174` (configurable port) that serves a texthooker UI. This allows external tools — such as a browser-based Yomitan instance — to receive subtitle text in real time.

-See [Subtitle Annotations — N+1](/subtitle-annotations#n1-word-highlighting) for configuration options and color settings.
+The texthooker page displays the current subtitle and updates as new lines arrive. This is useful if you prefer to do lookups in a browser rather than through the overlay's built-in Yomitan.

-## Immersion Tracking
+If you want to build your own browser client, websocket consumer, or automation relay, see [WebSocket / Texthooker API & Integration](/websocket-texthooker-api).

 # MPV Plugin

-The SubMiner mpv plugin (`subminer/main.lua`) provides in-player keybindings to control the overlay without leaving mpv. SubMiner-managed launches inject the bundled runtime plugin, so users do not need to install it into mpv's global `scripts` directory.
+**What this is:** mpv is the video player SubMiner overlays subtitles on. The SubMiner mpv plugin is a small Lua script that runs *inside* mpv and gives you in-player keybindings to control the SubMiner overlay (start/stop/toggle, skip intro, etc.) without leaving the player window.
+
+**Who needs this page:** Most users never touch the plugin directly — SubMiner-managed launches (the app, the `subminer` launcher, or the Windows shortcut) inject the bundled plugin automatically for that session, so there is nothing to install into mpv's global `scripts` directory. Read on if you launch mpv from another tool and want SubMiner's in-player controls, or you want to script mpv against SubMiner.
+
+The plugin ships as a modular Lua package under `plugin/subminer/` (entry point `init.lua`, which loads `main.lua` and sibling modules). Earlier releases shipped a single global `main.lua`; runtime loading replaces it.

 ## Keybindings

+Most plugin actions use a `y` chord prefix — press `y`, then the second key (a "chord"):

 | Chord            | Action                                 |
-| ----- | ---------------------- |
+| ---------------- | -------------------------------------- |
 | `y-y`            | Open menu                              |
 | `y-s`            | Start overlay                          |
 | `y-S`            | Stop overlay                           |
 | `y-t`            | Toggle visible overlay                 |
-| `v`   | Toggle primary subtitle bar visibility |
 | `y-o`            | Open settings window                   |
 | `y-r`            | Restart overlay                        |
 | `y-c`            | Check status                           |
-| `y-k` | Skip intro (AniSkip)   |
+| `y-h`            | Open session help / keybinding modal   |
+| `v`              | Toggle primary subtitle bar visibility |
+| `TAB` (default)  | Skip intro (AniSkip)                   |
+
+The AniSkip key is **not** a `y` chord. It defaults to `TAB` and is configurable via `mpv.aniskipButtonKey`. The legacy `y-k` chord still works as a fallback unless you remap the AniSkip key onto it.

 The bare `v` binding is a forced mpv binding. It overrides mpv's default primary subtitle visibility toggle and routes the action to SubMiner's primary subtitle bar instead.

+## Shared Shortcuts (Session Bindings)
+
+The `y-*` chords above are built into the plugin. Everything else you configure under [`shortcuts.*`](/shortcuts) — plus any custom [`keybindings`](/configuration) and the stats toggle/mark-watched keys — is **injected into mpv at runtime**, so the same shortcut works both inside mpv and in the SubMiner overlay. You do not edit any mpv config to enable them.
+
+How it works:
+
+1. The SubMiner app compiles your configured shortcuts, custom keybindings, and stats keys into a normalized list and writes it to `session-bindings.json` in the SubMiner config directory.
+2. On load, the plugin reads that file and registers each entry as a forced mpv key binding, translating each accelerator into the matching mpv key name.
+3. When a binding fires, the plugin either runs a SubMiner action (by invoking the SubMiner binary with the corresponding CLI flag, e.g. `--mine-sentence`) or runs a raw mpv command, depending on what the shortcut maps to.
+
+Because the bindings come from the same configuration the overlay uses, you maintain one set of shortcuts for both surfaces.
+
+Live updates: changing a shortcut in the app rewrites `session-bindings.json` and sends the plugin a `subminer-reload-session-bindings` script message, so mpv re-registers the bindings immediately — no mpv restart required.
+
+Notes:
+
+- Accelerators are normalized per platform — `CommandOrControl` resolves to `Cmd` on macOS and `Ctrl` elsewhere.
+- Multi-line actions (`copySubtitleMultiple`, `mineSentenceMultiple`) register temporary `1`–`9` digit follow-up bindings after the trigger key, with `Esc` to cancel.
+- If two shortcuts compile to the same key, or an accelerator can't be mapped to an mpv key, the app logs a warning and skips that binding instead of registering a broken one.

 # Keyboard Shortcuts

+This page is the complete reference for every keystroke SubMiner responds to. If you are just getting started, focus on the **Mining Shortcuts** and **Overlay Controls** sections — those cover the day-to-day mining loop. The rest can wait until you need them.
+
+A few terms used throughout:
+
+- **Overlay** — the transparent SubMiner window that sits on top of mpv and shows the interactive subtitles. Most shortcuts only work while this window has focus (click the video once if a shortcut seems to do nothing).
+- **`Ctrl/Cmd`** — use `Ctrl` on Windows/Linux and `Cmd` (⌘) on macOS. In the config file this is written as `CommandOrControl`.
+- **Accelerator** — Electron's name for a shortcut string like `Alt+Shift+O`.
+
 All shortcuts are configurable in `config.jsonc` under `shortcuts` and `keybindings`. Set any shortcut to `null` to disable it.

 ## Update Rules

@@ -37,4 +37,3 @@ Grades are directional, not ceremonial. The point is to keep gaps visible.

 - Some deep architecture detail still lives in `docs-site/architecture.md` and may merit later migration.
 - Quality grading is manual and should be refreshed when major refactors land.

-# Config Settings Window
-
-read_when: changing config UI, config save behavior, or config docs
-
-## Intent
-
-Add a dedicated Electron settings window for editing canonical config values without exposing the historical layout mistakes in `config.jsonc`.
-
-The UI groups options by workflow:
-
- Viewing
- Mining & Anki
- Playback & Sources
- Input
- Integrations
- Tracking & App
- Advanced
-
-Each field maps back to its current raw config path. The presentation layer must stay separate from generated config-template sections.
-
-## Sources
-
- Canonical defaults: `DEFAULT_CONFIG`
- Existing option descriptions/enums: `CONFIG_OPTION_REGISTRY`
- UI registry: `src/config/settings/registry.ts`
- JSONC save path: `src/config/settings/jsonc-edit.ts`
- Window runtime: `src/main/runtime/config-settings-window.ts`
-
-## Save Contract
-
-Settings writes use `jsonc-parser.modify`, not `JSON.stringify`.
-
-Required behavior:
-
- Preserve comments, trailing commas, unrelated keys, and hidden legacy keys.
- Reset removes the explicit path so defaults resolve normally.
- Validate the candidate config before writing.
- Reject warnings caused by modified fields.
- Preserve unrelated existing warnings and return them in the snapshot.
- Write atomically, reload `ConfigService`, classify with existing hot-reload logic, and apply live changes where supported.
- Never return secret values to the renderer; snapshots only expose configured/not-configured state.
-
-## Hidden Compatibility Keys
-
-Do not expose these as first-class controls:
-
- `ankiConnect.deck`
- Legacy top-level Anki migration fields such as `wordField`, `audioField`, media-generation aliases, and behavior aliases
- Legacy `ankiConnect.nPlusOne.*` aliases except canonical `nPlusOne.nPlusOne` and `nPlusOne.minSentenceWords`
- Deprecated Lapis sentence-card fields
- `youtubeSubgen.primarySubLanguages`
- `anilist.characterDictionary.refreshTtlHours`
- `anilist.characterDictionary.evictionPolicy`
- `jellyfin.accessToken`
- `jellyfin.userId`
- `controller.buttonIndices` as a normal editable field
-
-## Verification
-
-Minimum targeted checks:
-
- `bun test src/config/settings/registry.test.ts src/config/settings/jsonc-edit.test.ts src/settings/settings-model.test.ts src/main/runtime/config-settings-window.test.ts`
- `bun run test:config`
- `bun run typecheck`
- `bun run build`
-
-If docs changed:
-
- `bun run docs:test`
- `bun run docs:build`

- keep names date-prefixed and task-specific
- remove or archive old plans deliberately; do not leave mystery artifacts

 > This is a prerelease build for testing. Stable changelog and docs-site updates remain pending until the final stable release.

 ## Highlights
-### Breaking Changes
-
- **Settings Window:** The Configuration window is now called the Settings window everywhere — UI, tray menu, docs, and CLI. `--config` and `subminer config` (no action) are replaced by `--settings` and `subminer settings`; `subminer config` now only accepts `path` or `show`. The `--settings` alias that previously opened the Yomitan settings popup is removed — use `--yomitan` instead.
-
 ### Added

- **Settings Window:** A dedicated Settings window is now available via `subminer --settings` or `subminer settings`. Options are organized into Appearance, Behavior, Anki, Input, and Integration sections with learned keybinding controls, AnkiConnect-backed deck/field/note-type pickers, and live reload for stats keys, logging level, Jimaku, Subsync, YouTube language defaults, and Anki field mappings. AI and translation fields remain supported in config files only.

AI and translation settings remain config-file only.

- **Auto-Updater:** SubMiner can now check for and apply updates from the system tray or by running `subminer -u`. Checks include checksum verification, configurable notifications, and an opt-in channel for prerelease builds. The `subminer` launcher and Linux rofi theme are also updated automatically.

 ### Changed

- **Settings Window:** Option rows no longer display raw config paths; live/restart status is shown inline beside each option title. Known-words deck rows are now cards with the deck name on a separate header line so long names remain readable. Playback, shortcut, WebSocket, tracking, Jellyfin, character dictionary, and Discord presence controls have been reorganized.
+- **Subtitle Appearance:** Primary and secondary subtitle appearance now use color controls plus CSS declaration editors, saved as `subtitleStyle.css` and `subtitleStyle.secondary.css`. Sidebar appearance is configured via `subtitleSidebar.css`. The default subtitle font stack is updated to `Hiragino Sans, M PLUS 1, Source Han Sans JP, Noto Sans CJK JP`. Existing configs are migrated automatically.

Legacy Anki color keys remain accepted with deprecation warnings. N+1 highlighting is preserved for configs that already had it enabled; new configs leave it disabled unless `ankiConnect.nPlusOne.enabled` is set explicitly.

 ### Fixed

- **macOS Overlay:** Significantly improved overlay focus and stability: the overlay now hides when mpv loses focus or is minimized, stays stable through transient window-tracking misses, remains correctly layered during stats mouse passthrough, and opens over fullscreen mpv without switching Spaces. Passthrough is fixed so mpv controls stay clickable before hovering a subtitle bar. Background tracking overhead is reduced while mpv is stably focused.

Passthrough is fixed so mpv controls stay clickable before hovering a subtitle bar. The overlay also stays stable when clicking from the overlay back into mpv. Background tracking overhead is reduced while mpv is stably focused.
+
+- **Linux/Hyprland Overlay:** Overlay placement refreshes after leaving mpv fullscreen so the visible overlay stays aligned to the player. The visible overlay remains stacked above mpv after mpv regains focus from clicks, and is suspended while the in-player stats window is open.
+
+- **Jellyfin Playback:** Resolved a wide range of Jellyfin discovery issues: the active item is no longer reloaded during startup, paused mpv is no longer misreported as playing, startup unpause no longer repeats after a manual pause or `y-t` toggle, duplicate ready signals no longer re-show the overlay, and long-lived sidebar ffmpeg extractors no longer run against stream URLs. Discovery now correctly handles delayed Japanese subtitle selection and prevents later-loading foreign tracks from stealing the active Japanese track.
+
+- **Jellyfin Subtitles:** Improved subtitle timing by preferring default embedded streams over external sidecars, stripping Jellyfin's server-selected stream from playback URLs, suppressing mpv auto-selection while SubMiner stages managed tracks, and automatically correcting clear Japanese-vs-English cue timeline offsets. Per-stream subtitle delay shifts are restored on load. Track selection now tolerates transient `track-list` read failures and numeric string track IDs on Linux.
+
+- **Jellyfin Overlay:** The visible subtitle overlay now shows automatically during Jellyfin playback so `subtitleStyle` appearance applies. The bundled mpv plugin is injected when SubMiner auto-launches mpv for Jellyfin so mpv-side keybindings work without overlay focus. The `y-t` overlay toggle is reliable and remains sticky across stream redirects. Passive Linux/Hyprland overlay shows no longer steal keyboard focus from mpv.
+
+- **Jellyfin Remote Progress:** Fixed progress sync for mpv/SubMiner seek jumps, stopped sessions, startup path changes, and Linux websocket reconnect windows. Play and Resume are now distinct: Play starts from the beginning while Resume starts at the saved position. Final progress reports use SubMiner's last known position when mpv resets during stop. Discovery resume correctly handles `StartPositionTicks: 0` for items with saved progress.
+
+- **Jellyfin Identity:** Cast device identity is now derived from the OS hostname. Multiple SubMiner installs no longer share the same remote-session identity, and SubMiner always reports itself as the client regardless of legacy configurable identity fields.
+
+- **Jellyfin Tray:** The discovery tray checkbox stays in sync on Linux after tray, CLI, or startup remote-session changes. Stale discovery sessions restart automatically when the server no longer lists the SubMiner cast target. Library discovery works correctly when the app log level is set above info.

 - **Subtitle Sync Modal:** Fixed a macOS issue where opening the subtitle sync modal would flash and disappear on the first attempt, or leave stale state after syncing.

 - **AniList Progress:** Progress threshold checks now use fresh playback position data so updates fire correctly when playback reaches or skips past the watched threshold. Season-specific results are preferred for multi-season files, and a clear message is shown when the matched season is not in Planning or Watching status.

+- **Anki:** Sentence-audio padding is now opt-in by default. When padding is configured, animated AVIF freeze-frame duration is correctly aligned to the word audio length without double-counting sentence padding. Multi-line sentence mining stays aligned when repeated subtitle text appears in the selected history range. Manual clipboard card updates from YouTube playback now use mpv's resolved stream URLs for generated audio and images.
+
+- **YouTube:** Primary subtitles are now downloaded to temporary local files so the primary bar and sidebar read the same source, with cleanup on reload and quit. False subtitle load failure notifications are suppressed after SubMiner confirms the selected track loaded. Launcher-managed playback commands create the tray icon even when attaching to an already-running process, and app-owned YouTube playback no longer lets the mpv plugin start a second SubMiner instance.
+
 - **Character Dictionary:** Cached media matches are reused when loading a title with an existing snapshot, avoiding redundant AniList search requests on repeat visits.

- **Updater — Linux:** The tray app now uses GitHub release metadata for update checks instead of the native Electron updater, preventing crashes. `subminer -u` performs updates independently of any running tray instance and correctly reports "up to date" without downloading assets when no newer release exists. Update check traffic is routed through `/usr/bin/curl` to avoid Electron network-service crashes during video startup.
+- **Updater:** Update checks are more stable across platforms: Linux uses GitHub release metadata instead of the native Electron updater; `subminer -u` can update independently of the tray app; macOS update dialogs reliably appear in the foreground; builds that cannot apply native updates show a manual-install message instead of a restart prompt; and Windows retains the native NSIS update path while routing updater HTTP through the main process. GitHub release lookups avoid Electron networking on Linux and macOS. Set `updates.channel` to `"prerelease"` to receive beta and RC builds.

- **Updater — macOS:** Update dialogs now reliably come to the front when launched from `subminer --update`. Builds that cannot install native updates show a manual-install message instead of an inapplicable restart prompt. Signed macOS builds remain on the native `electron-updater`/Squirrel path; supplemental GitHub release lookups are routed through `/usr/bin/curl`, eliminating the last Electron-networking path from background update checks.
+- **Setup - macOS:** First-run setup now recognizes existing `subminer` installs in Homebrew or user PATH directories, and manual setup avoids writing into Homebrew-owned paths. `subminer app --setup` opens the setup flow even when SubMiner is already running in the background. The standalone setup app quits after completing first-run setup, and `subminer settings` exits cleanly when the window is closed.

- **Updater — Windows:** Automatic updates keep the native `electron-updater`/NSIS install path enabled while routing updater HTTP through main-process fetch, avoiding the delayed app exit seen shortly after launch.
+- **Tray App:** Fixed several lifecycle issues with tray-launched Yomitan settings: the tray stays running when settings are closed; settings loading no longer blocks other tray actions; the settings window uses a close-only menu to prevent accidentally quitting the tray app; an in-page close button is available on Hyprland where native window controls are unavailable; the embedded popup preview is disabled to prevent renderer hangs during sidebar navigation; extension refreshes at startup are serialized to prevent race conditions; and the session help modal can close correctly without mpv running.

- **Setup — macOS:** First-run setup now recognizes existing `subminer` launcher installs in Homebrew or user PATH directories, and manual setup avoids writing into Homebrew-owned paths. `subminer app --setup` opens the setup flow even when SubMiner is already running in the background. The standalone setup app quits after completing first-run setup, and `subminer settings` exits cleanly when the window is closed — both return control to the terminal without requiring Ctrl+C.
+- **Launcher:** Launcher-opened videos reuse an already-running background SubMiner instance and correctly reapply preferred subtitles on warm launches. Videos stay paused when attaching to a running background app until subtitle priming and tokenization readiness complete. Launcher-owned tray apps close after playback ends. `subminer settings` on macOS no longer emits Electron menu diagnostics. Linux first-run launcher installs now build with a valid Bun shebang.

- **Tray App:** Fixed several lifecycle issues with tray-launched Yomitan settings: the tray stays running when settings are closed; settings loading no longer blocks other tray actions; the settings window uses a close-only menu to prevent accidentally quitting the tray app; an in-page close button is provided on Hyprland where native window controls are unavailable; the embedded popup preview is disabled to prevent renderer hangs during sidebar navigation; extension refreshes at startup are serialized to prevent race conditions; and the session help modal can now close correctly without mpv running.

+- **Playback:** The first subtitle is primed before autoplay resumes so the overlay renders text before video playback begins. Launcher-owned videos quit SubMiner when playback ends while background and tray sessions stay alive.

 - **Subtitle Frequency:** Frequency highlighting is preserved for determiner-led noun compounds like `その場` while standalone determiners are still filtered.

- **macOS Shortcuts:** Native mpv menu shortcuts are disabled during managed macOS playback so configured SubMiner shortcuts work while mpv has focus. Session shortcuts including `stats.markWatchedKey` are now correctly wired through mpv.
+- **Shortcuts:** Native mpv menu shortcuts are disabled during managed macOS playback so configured SubMiner shortcuts work while mpv has focus. Session shortcuts including `stats.markWatchedKey` are correctly wired through mpv. The visible overlay receives focus when entering multi-line copy/mine selection so number keys work on macOS and Windows.

- **Overlay Restart:** The visible overlay and subtitle stream now stay alive after restarting SubMiner from the `y-r` shortcut, with correct bounds reapplication on Linux and user-paused playback preserved through readiness gates.
+- **Overlay Restart:** The visible overlay and subtitle stream stay alive after restarting SubMiner from the `y-r` shortcut, with correct bounds reapplication on Linux and user-paused playback preserved through readiness gates.

+- **Stats:** In-player stats layering is fixed so delete confirmations, overlay modals, and update-check dialogs appear above the stats window. Jellyfin playback stats are grouped under item metadata instead of stream URLs, so watched episodes merge with matching local library titles and display clean names.

- **Jellyfin:** Fixed the setup popup login path on Windows using an IPC bridge, with immediate login progress feedback and a timeout for unreachable server attempts.
+- **Sidebar:** Yomitan lookup popups opened from the subtitle sidebar now correctly pause playback when popup auto-pause is enabled.
+
+- **Discord Rich Presence:** Presence no longer falls back to Jellyfin stream URLs; Jellyfin playback titles are primed before loading tokenized streams so presence shows the show/episode title.
+
+- **WebSocket:** The regular subtitle WebSocket now sends plain text only; annotation spans and token metadata are sent exclusively on the annotation WebSocket.

 - **Windows:** Startup failures now show a native error dialog and write fatal details to the app log instead of exiting silently.

 - **Yomitan:** Fixed Yomitan popups not opening when overlay startup races the Yomitan extension load.

- **Settings:** Settings window search now searches across all categories, narrows correctly on multi-word terms, and hides settings with dedicated editors. Live saves for subtitle CSS declarations apply immediately to open overlays. Legacy subtitle appearance options and hover token colors are automatically migrated into `subtitleStyle.css`.
+- **Settings:** Search now works across all categories, narrows correctly on multi-word terms, and hides settings with dedicated editors. Live saves for subtitle CSS declarations apply immediately to open overlays. Legacy subtitle appearance options and hover token colors are automatically migrated into `subtitleStyle.css`. The note-fields note type picker defaults to the configured Anki deck's note type, then `Kiku`, then `Lapis`, leaving it blank for manual selection otherwise. User config files are preserved during legacy config compatibility handling. The generated example config uses the same CSS declaration paths written by the Settings window.

- **Config:** User config files are preserved during legacy compatibility handling. The note-fields note-type picker now defaults to the configured Anki deck's note type, falling back to `Kiku`, then `Lapis`, then blank for manual selection.

+- Treat the fragment list as one cumulative release outcome, not a chronological log of beta/RC churn.

sudacode	b1bdeabca8	fix(jellyfin): show overlay, inject plugin, and fix stats title on playback (#77 ) * fix(jellyfin): show overlay, inject plugin, and fix stats title on playb - Show visible overlay automatically during Jellyfin playback so subtitleStyle applies - Inject bundled mpv plugin on auto-launch so keybindings work without overlay focus - Group Jellyfin playback stats under item metadata (jellyfin://host/item/id) instead of stream URLs so episodes merge with matching local titles - Mark ffsubsync unavailable in subsync modal for remote media paths - Drain queued second-instance commands even when onReady throws * fix(overlay): stabilize macOS focus handoff and sidebar Yomitan pause - Keep overlay visible during macOS foreground probe after overlay blur - Hold sidebar hover-pause while a Yomitan lookup popup remains open * fix(jellyfin): fix discovery loop, device identity, tray state, and Disc - Derive device identity from OS hostname; remove legacy configurable client/device fields - Prevent discovery playback from reloading active item, misreporting pause state, and duplicate overlay restores - Restart stale tray discovery sessions without re-login when server drops SubMiner cast target - Sync tray discovery checkbox state on Linux after CLI/startup/remote-session changes - Stop Discord presence falling back to stream URLs; prime title before tokenized stream loads - Fix picker library discovery when log level is above info - Fix config.example.jsonc trailing commas and array formatting * docs(release): trim and consolidate prerelease notes for 0.15.0 - Remove breaking changes section and several redundant bullet points - Consolidate per-platform updater notes into a single entry - Normalize em-dash separators to hyphens in section headers * fix(config): remove trailing commas from config.example.jsonc - Strip trailing commas throughout both config.example.jsonc copies - Reformat inline arrays to multi-line for JSON strictness - Update Jellyfin subtitle preload and playback launch tests and impl * fix(tokenizer): preserve known-word highlight when POS filters suppress - Known-word cache matches now set isKnown=true even for tokens excluded by POS filters - POS exclusion gate suppresses N+1, frequency, and JLPT only; known status is computed before the gate - Jellyfin subtitle preload continues after cleanup failures instead of aborting - Update config docs and option description to document the known-word bypass behavior * fix(jellyfin): send explicit hide/show overlay instead of toggle - Track overlay visibility in plugin state; y-t uses explicit hide/show commands when state is known - Prevent paused Jellyfin playback from resuming on overlay hide - Fix subtitle cache cleanup to only remove dirs after successful cleanup * fix(jellyfin): fix remote progress sync, seek reporting, and startup sto - arm active playback before loadfile with loadedMediaPath: null to suppress premature stop events - force immediate progress report on seek-like position jumps at the mpv time-pos level - send positionTicks and failed=false in reportStopped payload - remove EventName from HTTP timeline payloads (websocket-only field) - add startup grace window to drop stop events before media finishes loading * fix(jellyfin): fix overlay toggle sync, redirect reload, and AppImage bi - Sync visible-overlay state back to plugin via script messages to avoid toggle/hide drift - Collapse duplicate toggle events within 250ms to prevent hide-then-show on single keypress - Preserve manual hide across Jellyfin path-changing redirects even when media-title drops - Rearm managed subtitle defaults on path-changing redirects - Route toggleVisibleOverlay session binding through plugin toggle instead of app-side IPC - Show Linux/Hyprland overlay passively (showInactive) to avoid stealing mpv keyboard focus - Fix AppImage binary resolution to prefer $APPIMAGE env over mounted inner binary - Add stats window layer management so delete/update dialogs appear above stats window - Fix Jellyfin remote progress sync during Linux websocket reconnect windows * Fix CodeRabbit review feedback * fix(jellyfin): subtitle timing, resume progress, and overlay sync - Add per-stream subtitle delay persistence and auto timeline-offset correction - Strip server-selected subtitle stream from mpv load URL; suppress plugin subtitle rearm and auto-start during app-managed preload - Fix resume position lost when mpv resets on stop; use last known position for final progress/stopped reports - Keep Play vs Resume distinct to avoid early seek race on normal play - Fix discovery resume when remote play sends StartPositionTicks=0 despite saved progress - Deduplicate show/hide overlay commands using recorded visibility state - Rewrite docs-site Jellyfin page around cast-to-device UX * test: update lifecycle cleanup assertion * fix: clear aborted playback state, fix overlay passthrough, and guard du - Reset app_managed_playback_pending on lifecycle cleanup to prevent state leak into next item - Record visible overlay action only after command succeeds, not before - Non-native passive overlay now always click-through on re-show (fix isNonNativePassiveOverlay ordering) - Defer activeParsedSubtitleMediaPath assignment until after prefetch completes - Move autoplay gate release into the hide branch of toggleVisibleOverlay - Clear active Jellyfin playback when stopping media that never loaded - Reset managed subtitle delay and delay key when no external tracks are available - Await async removeDir in subtitle cache cleanup - Guard duplicate delete clicks in MediaDetailView and SessionsTab with refs - Escape key in DeleteConfirmDialog now calls stopPropagation and stopImmediatePropagation	2026-05-24 18:40:56 -07:00
sudacode	da3c971ee6	fix: delegate multi-line digit selection to visible overlay (#78 )	2026-05-24 00:39:23 -07:00
sudacode	c02edc90cc	docs: audit and refresh user-facing and internal docs 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/.	2026-05-23 21:21:16 -07:00
sudacode	4d1a20d69b	feat(config): surface optional anki/jimaku keys in example config Add ankiConnect.deck, jimaku.apiKey, and jimaku.apiKeyCommand to the defaults so they appear in the generated config.example.jsonc, and change the static/animated image maxima (imageMaxWidth, imageMaxHeight, animatedMaxHeight) from undefined to 0 so they render too. The resize paths already treat 0 as "no limit", so this is behavior-neutral and just improves discoverability of these previously-undocumented keys.	2026-05-23 21:21:07 -07:00
