 # Changelog
 
-## v0.9.0 (2026-03-22)
+## v0.9.3 (2026-03-25)
 
 ### Changed
-- Subtitle Sidebar: Added subtitle sidebar state and behavior updates, including startup-auto-open controls and resume positioning improvements.
+- Launcher: Moved YouTube primary subtitle language defaults to `youtube.primarySubLanguages`.
-- Subtitle Sidebar: Fixed subtitle prefetch and embedded overlay passthrough sync between sidebar and overlay subtitle rendering.
+- Launcher: Removed the placeholder YouTube subtitle retime step and now uses downloaded primary subtitle tracks directly, so there is no fake path rewrite before playback/sidebar loading.
-- Launcher: Added an app-owned YouTube subtitle picker flow that boots mpv paused, opens an overlay track picker, and downloads selected subtitles into external files.
+- YouTube: Removed the `src/core/services/youtube/retime` helper and its tests after retiring the internal retime strategy.
-- Launcher: Added explicit `download` and `generate` YouTube subtitle modes with `download` as the default path.
+- Docs: Clarified optional `alass` / `ffsubsync` subtitle-sync requirements and setup steps, including fallback behavior when sync tools are absent.
-- Launcher: Disabled mpv native YouTube subtitle auto-loading for the app-owned flow so external subtitle files stay authoritative.
+- Launcher: Removed the old `youtubeSubgen.primarySubLanguages` config path from the generated config and docs.
+
+## v0.9.2 (2026-03-25)
+
+### Fixed
+- Overlay: Fixed overlay pointer tracking so Windows click-through toggles immediately when the cursor enters or leaves subtitle regions, without waiting for a later hover resync.
+- Overlay: Fixed Windows overlay window tracking on scaled displays by converting native tracked window bounds to Electron DIP coordinates before applying overlay bounds.
+- Launcher: Fixed Windows direct `--youtube-play` startup so MPV boots reliably, stays paused until the app-owned subtitle flow is ready, and reuses an already-running SubMiner instance when available.
+- Launcher: Fixed standalone Windows `--youtube-play` sessions so closing MPV fully exits SubMiner instead of leaving hidden overlay windows or a background process behind.
+- Overlay: Fixed `subminer <youtube-url>` on Linux so the YouTube playback flow waits for Yomitan to load before creating the overlay window, avoiding the broken lookup popup state that previously required a manual overlay refresh.
+
+## v0.9.1 (2026-03-24)
+
+### Changed
+- Release: Reduced packaged release size by excluding duplicate `extraResources` payload and pruning docs, tests, sourcemaps, and other source-only files from Electron bundles.
+
+### Fixed
+- Overlay: Restored controller navigation and lookup/mining controls while the subtitle sidebar is open, while keeping true modal dialogs blocking controller actions.
+- Tokenizer: Fixed subtitle annotation clearing so explanatory contrast endings like `んですけど` are excluded consistently across the shared tokenizer filter and annotation stage.
+
+## v0.9.0 (2026-03-23)
+
+### Added
+- Docs: Added a new WebSocket / Texthooker API and integration guide covering WebSocket payloads, custom client patterns, mpv plugin automation, and webhook-style relay examples. Linked from configuration and mining workflow docs for easier discovery.
+
+### Changed
+- Launcher: Added an app-owned YouTube subtitle flow that pauses mpv, uses absPlayer-style YouTube timedtext parsing/conversion to download subtitle tracks, and injects them as external files before playback resumes.
+- Launcher: Changed YouTube subtitle startup to auto-load the best-available primary and secondary subtitle tracks at launch instead of forcing the picker modal first. Secondary subtitle failures no longer block playback resume.
+- Launcher: Added `Ctrl+Alt+C` as the default keybinding to manually open the YouTube subtitle picker during active YouTube playback.
+- Launcher: Added yt-dlp metadata probing so YouTube playback and immersion tracking record canonical video title and channel metadata.
+- Launcher: Stopped forcing `--ytdl-raw-options=` before user-provided mpv options so existing YouTube cookie integrations in user `--args` are no longer clobbered.
+- Launcher: Disabled mpv native YouTube subtitle auto-loading for the app-owned flow so injected external subtitle files remain authoritative.
 - Launcher: Added OSD status messages for YouTube playback startup, subtitle acquisition, and subtitle loading so the flow stays visible before and during the picker.
+- Subtitle Sidebar: Added startup-auto-open controls and resume positioning improvements so the sidebar jumps directly to the first resolved active cue.
+- Subtitle Sidebar: Improved subtitle prefetch and embedded overlay passthrough sync so sidebar and overlay subtitle states stay consistent across media transitions.
+- Subtitle Sidebar: Updated scroll handling, embedded layout styling, and active-cue visual behavior.
+- Stats: Stats Library tab now displays YouTube video title, channel name, and channel thumbnail for YouTube media entries, with retry logic to fill in metadata that arrives after initial load.
+
+### Fixed
+- Launcher: Fixed Anki media mining for mpv YouTube streams by unwrapping the stream URL so audio and screenshot capture work correctly for YouTube playback sessions.
+- Immersion: Fixed YouTube media path handling in the immersion runtime and tracking so YouTube sessions record correct media references, AniList guessing skips YouTube URLs, and post-watch state transitions do not fire for YouTube media.
+- Launcher: Fixed startup-launched YouTube playback so primary subtitle overlay updates continue after auto-load completes.
+- Launcher: Fixed auto-loaded YouTube primary subtitles so parsed cues appear in the subtitle sidebar without needing a manual picker retry.
+- Launcher: Fixed the YouTube picker to guard against duplicate subtitle submissions and tightened YouTube URL detection so follow-up runtime flows only treat real YouTube hosts as YouTube playback.
+- Launcher: Fixed primary subtitle failure notifications being shown while app-owned YouTube subtitle probing and downloads are still in flight.
+- Launcher: Preserved existing authoritative YouTube subtitle tracks when available; downloaded tracks are used only to fill missing sides, and native mpv secondary subtitle rendering is hidden so the overlay remains the sole secondary display.
