chore(release): v0.19.1

- Add overlayBody override to ConfiguredStatusNotificationOptions so overlay/OSD/desktop can diverge
- Extract getSubsyncStatusNotificationOptions() to strip the ASCII spinner frame from the overlay card (OSD keeps it since it renders the raw spinner)
- Add tests for spinner stripping and subsync result notifications

 # Changelog
 
+## v0.19.1 (2026-08-01)
+
+### Added
+- Word Card Type: Adds a setting (Settings > Mining/Anki > Kiku/Lapis Features > "Word Card Type") to choose which card-type flag SubMiner marks on Kiku/Lapis word cards — `word-and-sentence` (default), `click`, `sentence`, `audio`, or `none`. Click cards (`IsClickCard`) can now be flagged, and setting any card-type flag clears the others so a note can't claim two types at once.
+
+### Fixed
+- Yomitan Popup: Fixes the macOS Yomitan popup going inert after mining a card — clicks outside the popup no longer pass through to mpv, and scrolling over the popup scrolls its definitions instead of seeking playback.
+- YouTube Playlist Links: Fixes opening a video from a playlist URL (e.g. a Watch Later link with `list=`/`index=`) timing out while probing subtitles, metadata, or the playback URL.

+1. **Probe** --- `yt-dlp --dump-single-json` extracts all available subtitle tracks (manual uploads and auto-generated captions) along with video metadata. Every yt-dlp call passes `--no-playlist`, so playlist links (for example a Watch Later URL with `list=`/`index=`) resolve to the single video instead of the whole playlist.
 2. **Discover** --- Each track is normalized into a `YoutubeTrackOption` with language code, kind (`manual` or `auto`), display label, and direct download URL.
 3. **Select** --- SubMiner picks the best primary track (Japanese, preferring manual over auto) and secondary track (English, preferring manual over auto).
 4. **Download** --- Selected tracks are fetched via direct URL when available, falling back to `yt-dlp --write-subs` / `--write-auto-subs`. YouTube TimedText XML formats (`srv1`/`srv2`/`srv3`) are converted to VTT on the fly. Auto-generated VTT captions are normalized to remove rolling-caption duplication.

+## Highlights
+### Added
+- Kiku/Lapis Word Card Type Setting
+  - A new setting (Mining/Anki > Kiku/Lapis Features > "Word Card Type") lets you choose which card-type flag gets marked on Kiku/Lapis word cards, including a click-card option that SubMiner couldn't set before.
+  - Handy if you only want click cards flagged instead of the default word-and-sentence marking.
+  - Choosing a card type now clears any other flags automatically, so a note can't end up marked as two types at once.
+
+### Fixed
+- Yomitan Popup on macOS
+  - Fixed the popup going unresponsive after mining a card — clicks outside it no longer leak through to mpv, and the overlay no longer flickers hidden and shown.
+  - Scrolling over the popup now scrolls its definitions instead of seeking the video.
+- YouTube Playlist Links
+  - Opening a video from a playlist URL (like a Watch Later link with `list=`/`index=`) no longer times out while loading subtitles, metadata, or playback info.
+
+## What's Changed
+
+- feat(anki): add configurable word card type for Kiku/Lapis by @ksyasuda in #175
+- fix(overlay): keep Yomitan popup interactive on macOS/Windows by @ksyasuda in #177
+- fix(youtube): prevent playlist URLs from stalling yt-dlp probes by @ksyasuda in #180
+
+## 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` and the `subminer` launcher
+
+Note: the `subminer` wrapper script uses Bun (`#!/usr/bin/env bun`), so `bun` must be installed and on `PATH`.
