- Resolving "season N" against AniList no longer lands one season short for franchises whose broadcast seasons are listed as several entries. AniList records the back half of a split cour ("… Season 2 Part 2", "… Cour 2", "第2クール") as its own sequel, and the resolver counted each as a season — so Mushoku Tensei season 3 resolved to the season 2 entry and Re:ZERO season 4 to season 3, which then drove the character dictionary and AniList progress updates to the wrong series. A sequel carrying a part or cour marker that matches the season it continues is now followed without advancing the season count, in both the relation walk and the air-order fallback. Titles are compared ignoring punctuation, and the marker is looked for in every title and synonym rather than just the display title. A wrong match cached before this fix is remembered in `character-dictionaries/anilist-resolution-cache.json` and needs removing (or overriding from the character dictionary picker) for the affected series.
- A special or OVA sitting in a franchise's sequel chain is walked through without counting as a season. Dr. STONE links STONE WARS to New World through a one-episode special, which made New World resolve as season 4 and every later season shift with it.
- An AniList rate limit or network failure while walking sequel relations is reported so the caller can retry, instead of falling through to the air-date fallback. That fallback is for a franchise with missing relation edges; running it after a failed lookup turned a transient 429 into a confidently wrong season.
- The shared title parser recognizes spelled-out episode labels (`Episode 4`, `第4話`) and a season named at the end of the title (`… Season 3`, `… 3rd Season`, `… S3`), which now fill the Season field instead of being searched for as part of the series name. The TsukiHime modal gained a Season field to match Jimaku, and seasons after the first are included in its search query so a later season's releases are actually found.

- Added an anime browser window that searches Aniyomi extension sources, shows cover art and episode lists, and plays an episode in mpv so the overlay and mining tools attach as usual.
- Browser failures show a dismissible explanation with next steps and expandable technical details, including the bridge's error response instead of only its HTTP status.
- Added `subminer anime` and the `--anime` flag to open the browser, plus a "Browse Anime" tray entry.
- Anime extensions are read from `<userData>/anime-extensions`; drop Aniyomi `.apk` files there to add sources.
- Added a source settings tab so extensions that need configuration (server address, credentials, quality) can be set up from the browser; values persist per extension and source, and updated extension schemas replace stale saved field definitions without losing values. Older unscoped preferences are discarded once because their package ownership cannot be proven safely.
- Added an Extensions tab for adding repository URLs and installing, updating, or removing extensions in place; extensions that fail to load are listed with the reason. Repository requests time out instead of hanging, APK updates are staged before replacing the installed copy, and removing an extension refreshes the runtime even when saved credential cleanup fails while still reporting that failure.
- Browse, Extensions, and Source settings are tabs, so each one gets the full window instead of sharing it with the search results.
- Repository URLs only need to be an https URL to a `.json` index; the file name is not restricted to `index.min.json`.
- The source picker offers "All sources", which searches every installed source at once. Results stream in as each source answers, with per-source progress in the status bar. Results are tagged with their source, failures do not blank the grid, and **Load more** appends later pages without duplicating streamed entries.
- The Extensions tab opens with an Installed section listing every extension on disk with Remove, including ones added by hand or whose repository has since been removed. It compares APK and repository version codes, enables Update only for newer builds, marks current extensions as Up to date, and offers Update all when multiple updates are waiting.
- Added `anime.repos`, `anime.extensionsDir`, `anime.preferredQuality`, and `anime.defaultSource` config keys; **Set default** on an Installed row in the Extensions tab makes that source (or All sources) the one the browser opens on, and the current default carries a tag. SubMiner ships no extension repositories and performs no discovery.
- The settings app now groups Anime Browser config under an **Aniyomi** section in Integrations. A new `anime.autoOpenJimaku` option pauses newly loaded Anime Browser episodes, waits for mpv's video window to appear, closes the in-player browser, hides the standalone browser window so it is not pulled in front of mpv when the modals close, opens Jimaku with the episode details filled in, and resumes after a subtitle loads or the modal closes without overriding playback that was already paused.
- Anime playback targets Japanese audio: dub-labelled entries are skipped when the source offers an alternative, `alang` prefers Japanese, and the source's own audio and subtitle tracks are loaded into mpv (Japanese selected) instead of being discarded, so all of them can be switched from mpv's track menu.
- The primary subtitle slot stays reserved for Japanese: a source that only has, say, English subtitles gets them added with a normalized language tag (`English` → `en`) but not selected, so the regular `secondarySub` auto-load can route them to the secondary slot instead.
- HLS streams pass through a local strip proxy that removes fake image headers some hosts glue onto their video segments and gives disguised segment URLs (`.image`, `.jpg`, `.css`, and other rotating fake extensions) a media-safe local alias, so those streams play in mpv and support Anki audio and image extraction with current ffmpeg releases. Upstream responses use identity encoding so playlists remain readable for URL rewriting.
- The strip proxy retries a failed segment fetch once after a short pause and logs upstream error statuses; a host that errors on the very first fetches right after an episode resolves no longer kills the whole playback, disconnecting clients release their active upstream fetch instead of consuming the socket and bandwidth in the background, stalled response bodies retain the upstream inactivity timeout, and only origin-form requests can reach the configured local bridge.
- The strip proxy no longer forwards `Range` headers to the bridge: ffmpeg opens every HLS segment with `Range: bytes=0-`, the bridge answers some of those with 206, and a partial response bypassed the disguise strip, so whether an episode played depended on the bridge's cache state.
- A bridge that dies out from under the app (killed, crashed, or stopped mid-operation) no longer leaves the browser failing every request until an app restart: the exit is detected, surfaced in the status bar, and the bridge restarts on the next request.
- "Playing" is only reported once mpv actually configures a video output; when a stream fails to decode, the browser shows mpv's error instead of claiming playback started while no window ever appeared.
- The bridge bundle is downloaded from the newest upstream release that ships a bundle for the platform (skipping releases older than the oldest server SubMiner is known to work with), the same way Mangatan fetches it, so all four published bundles (macOS arm64 and x64, Linux x64, Windows x64) work without a maintainer hashing each one first.
- The Extensions tab's available list has a language chip row: pick one or more languages to narrow a repository index that otherwise lists every language it knows, or "All" to clear the filter. Rows name the language ("Japanese" instead of `ja`) and the Available heading counts what the filter leaves.
- A stream's subtitle tracks are downloaded to a temp directory and loaded into mpv as files rather than streamed from the source URL, so they can serve as the alass reference in Subsync the way Jellyfin subtitles do. The format is detected from the file's own content, a track that fails to download falls back to its URL so the episode still plays, and the directory is removed when the next episode starts or the app exits.
- An episode launched from the browser carries its series, season and episode number through the app instead of a single joined string: stats group by series (every stream previously landed in one entry named `m3u8`), rewatching reuses the existing entry, the Jimaku and TsukiHime modals prefill Title/Season/Episode from the source's own listing, AniList updates use those fields directly, and the mpv title reads `Series S03E04 - Episode Name`.
- Opening the browser shows a tray icon on every platform and — on macOS — puts the app in the Cmd+Tab switcher and Dock, so you can switch between it and mpv; the Dock icon is released again when the window closes during playback. Launching a video starts a regular SubMiner session, and in `subminer anime` standalone mode closing the window during playback no longer quits the app and kills the stream.
- The episode list has a filter box: type an episode number (`12`), a range (`12-18`), or part of an episode name to narrow a long list, with a `6 of 25` counter while it is applied. Escape inside the box clears the filter instead of leaving the detail page.
- Episodes already watched are dimmed and marked in the episode list, with a watched count in the header. The marks come from the stats history playback already writes (an episode is marked once a session passes the completion threshold), so they match the stats window and survive the stream URL changing between playbacks. They refresh when the browser window comes back to the front, and stay empty when immersion tracking is disabled.
- Right-clicking an episode opens a menu for marking it watched or unwatched by hand, plus "Mark this and N below watched/unwatched" for the episode and every episode listed under it. Sources list newest first, so a span covers the back catalogue, which is how a series watched elsewhere gets caught up. A filter never narrows what a span covers, and the status bar reports how many episodes were touched.
- Marking an episode that was never played creates its stats row, carrying the same series, season and episode fields playback would have recorded. Both stats library views join the lifetime tables, so a manual mark does not show up there as watch time nobody spent, and clearing a mark creates nothing.
- Episodes can be queued instead of replacing what is playing. Every episode row has **Play** and **Queue** buttons (clicking the row still plays now), the right-click menu offers the same two, and a queued episode shows its place in line ("next up", "#2 in queue") with a queue count and **Clear queue** in the episode header. The queue spans anime, resolves and appends each episode to mpv's real playlist as soon as it is queued while subtitle tracks cache in the background, so next/previous navigation works immediately and the next episode starts without a resolution pause when the current one ends. Queueing with nothing playing just plays.
- Added an in-player Anime Browser modal on `Ctrl+Alt+A`. The shortcut toggles it without losing its page or scroll position. It stays within the player bounds and shares the active episode, playback queue, source configuration, and watch history with the standalone browser, while each surface keeps independent search and navigation state. The modal validates its embedded page before changing overlay state, so a load setup failure leaves it closed rather than revealing a broken modal. The SubMiner logo identifies the Anime Browser in both the modal and standalone window.
- The bridge is reused from a package-manager install when one exists: on Arch the AUR `mangatan-extension-server` package (shared with Mangatan) is picked up from `/usr/share/mangatan/extension_server`, so nothing is downloaded and pacman keeps it current. `anime.bridgeDir` points SubMiner at a bundle anywhere else. `subminer-bin` lists the package as an optional dependency.
- Once the bridge is running, SubMiner checks GitHub for a newer release, including for AUR and custom installations. AUR update notices direct users to their AUR helper; custom installs get manual-update guidance. Only SubMiner-managed copies offer an **Update to vX** button. The new release is downloaded beside the running bridge, then the bridge restarts on it. The updater waits for a bridge still starting to stop and keeps the previous bundle until the replacement is active. The Extensions tab shows the bridge version, where it lives, and who updates it without describing an unchecked install as current.
- The detail page keeps its episode list when only the details call fails: the episodes render with a "Details unavailable" note and the error in the status bar, instead of an empty page.

-
- Subsync now works when mpv loaded a subtitle track from a URL, which is how Aniyomi extension streams and Jellyfin add theirs. The track is downloaded to a temporary file first — reusing mpv's own request headers, so authenticated and referer-gated hosts stay reachable — instead of being rejected with "Subtitle file not found: https://…". This applies to both the sync target and the alass reference, so a Jimaku or TsukiHime download can be retimed against a stream's own subtitles. Internal tracks of a stream also pass mpv's headers through to `ffmpeg`.
- Alass now works on tracks that arrive as WebVTT, which is what Aniyomi extension streams serve. Alass picks its parser from the file extension and has no WebVTT support, so it treated a `.vtt` reference as a video file and failed with "no audio stream in file". Both the target and the reference are rewritten as SRT for alass, keeping the cue text as-is, and the originals are left untouched.
- Leaving `subsync.alass_path`, `ffsubsync_path`, or `ffmpeg_path` empty now actually auto-discovers the binary, as the config help has always claimed. Previously it fell back to a hard-coded `/usr/bin/<tool>`, which does not exist on macOS and broke subsync for every default-config install there. Discovery searches `PATH` plus the usual install prefixes (a GUI launch inherits a minimal `PATH`) and accepts `alass-cli` as well as `alass`. An explicitly configured path is still used verbatim and never silently substituted.
- Subsync failures are written to the application log. Previously the only trace was an OSD toast that vanished after a few seconds, leaving nothing to diagnose from.

-# Anime Browser
-
-Search anime sources, pick an episode, and play it in mpv with SubMiner's overlay
-and mining tools attached — the same way a local file or a Jellyfin stream works.
-
-Open it with `subminer anime`, with `SubMiner.AppImage --anime`, or from
-**Browse Anime** in the tray menu. The window stays open while you watch, so you
-can queue the next episode without reopening it.
-
-During playback, `Ctrl+Alt+A` toggles the same browser as a modal inside the mpv
-player bounds. It uses a dedicated modal surface, so it stays above fullscreen
-playback and closes like the other in-player tools. Toggling it off keeps its
-current page and scroll position ready for the next toggle. The standalone
-window and the modal keep their own search, selected source, tab, and scroll
-state, so using one does not replace or cancel what you were doing in the other.
-
-Both surfaces use the same playback queue, source configuration, and stats
-history. Queue changes and the currently playing episode appear in both
-immediately, and watched marks come from the same history that playback and the
-stats window update. Closing and reopening the modal therefore picks up progress
-made from either browser surface.
-
-While the window is open, SubMiner shows a tray icon and — on macOS — appears
-in the Cmd+Tab switcher and the Dock (macOS ties the two together), so you can
-flip between the browser and mpv. SubMiner normally hides itself from the Dock
-because the subtitle overlay needs that to float above fullscreen video; it
-hides again when the window closes during playback.
-
-Launching an episode starts a full SubMiner playback session, the same as
-playing a local file: the overlay and mining tools attach, and the tray icon
-stays available. In standalone `subminer anime` mode, closing the window while
-a video is playing leaves playback running — reopen the browser from the tray
-(**Browse Anime**). The app only exits with the window when nothing is playing.
-
-## How it works
-
-SubMiner does not implement any anime source itself. It runs **Aniyomi extension
-APKs** through a bundled JVM sidecar ([M-Extension-Server][mes]), asks the
-selected extension to resolve an episode, and hands the resulting URL to mpv.
-
-```
-extension APK  →  bridge (JVM)  →  { url, headers }  →  mpv  →  SubMiner overlay
-```
-
-Because the extension resolves the stream, whichever sources you install decide
-what is available. SubMiner only hosts them.
-
-## Installing extensions
-
-**SubMiner ships no extension repositories and bundles no sources.** There is no
-default repository, no suggested list, and no discovery. Until you add one, the
-browser has nothing to search — that is deliberate, and it is what keeps SubMiner
-a neutral host rather than a distributor.
-
-There are two ways to add extensions.
-
-### From a repository
-
-The window has three tabs — **Browse**, **Extensions**, and **Source settings** —
-and each one fills the window, so a long extension list is not squeezed in above
-the search results.
-
-Open the **Extensions** tab, paste a repository index URL, and choose
-**Add repository**. The URL must be `https` and point at a `.json` index file —
-`index.min.json` is the common Aniyomi name, but repositories are free to publish
-under another one (for example `video.min.json`). Anything else is rejected
-immediately rather than failing later. Everything before the file name is treated
-as the repository root, so `.apk` and icon URLs are resolved relative to it.
-
-Extensions your repositories offer but you do not have appear under
-**Available**, each with **Install**. Repositories are stored in config under
-`anime.repos`, so you can also manage them there and keep them in a dotfile.
-
-Every row carries the extension's icon, as the repository publishes it, so a
-site is recognisable before you read the name. A repository row shows its host's
-favicon instead. Icons are the only part of a row that is fetched from the
-network, and a row whose icon is missing falls back to the first letter of its
-name rather than an empty box.
-
-A repository index lists every language it knows about, which is far more than
-any one person reads, so the **Available** list has a language chip row above
-it. Pick one or more languages to narrow it, or **All** to clear the filter;
-picking a language replaces **All** rather than sitting beside it. Rows name the
-language in full ("Japanese" rather than `ja`), extensions whose sources span
-languages are grouped under **Multi-language**, and the Available heading counts
-how many of the offered extensions the filter leaves.
-
-### Managing what is installed
-
-The Extensions tab opens with an **Installed** section listing everything in the
-extensions directory, with the sources each one provides and a **Remove**
-button. It is built from the directory rather than from a repository, so an
-extension you dropped in by hand — or one whose repository you have since
-removed — is still listed and still removable. An installed extension borrows
-its icon from the catalogue, so one no repository carries shows its monogram.
-
-SubMiner compares the APK's Android version code with the newest build in the
-configured repositories. **Update** is clickable only when the repository has a
-newer build. A current extension says **Up to date**. If an unusual APK has no
-readable version code, its disabled button says **Version unknown**. **Update
-all** installs every newer build in one pass and disables itself when there is
-nothing to update.
-
-### From a file
-
-Drop Aniyomi `.apk` files into the extensions directory, shown at the top of the
-Extensions tab. It defaults to `<userData>/anime-extensions` — on macOS,
-`~/Library/Application Support/SubMiner/anime-extensions` — and can be moved with
-`anime.extensionsDir`.
-
-A single APK may provide several sources; each appears separately in the
-**Source** picker. Extensions that fail to load are listed in the Installed
-section with the reason, so a broken APK is visible rather than silently
-missing.
-
-An extension that fails to load is skipped rather than blocking the others, so
-one bad APK will not hide the rest.
-
-### Default source
-
-The browser opens on the first installed source. To open on a different one,
-press **Set default** on its row in the Installed list; the row then carries a
-**default** tag, and only one source can carry it. The choice is written to
-`anime.defaultSource` and applies the next time a browser window or the
-in-player modal opens. With more than one source installed, an **All sources**
-row at the top of the list can be the default too. A default that is no longer
-installed falls back to the first source.
-
-## Searching every source at once
-
-With more than one source installed, the **Source** picker gains an
-**All sources** entry. Searching with it selected runs the query against every
-installed source at once, and each source's results appear the moment that
-source answers — a fast source is on screen while a slow one is still
-resolving. The status bar counts sources as they finish
-(`Searching… 3/5 sources · 42 results`).
-
-Each cover is labelled with the source it came from, and opening one always
-queries that source, whatever the picker says afterwards.
-
-A source that errors is named in the status bar and the rest still show their
-results; one extension that needs a login cannot blank the grid. If every
-source fails, the first error is shown in full.
-
-Typing a new search while one is still running simply starts over: results
-from the superseded search are discarded, even if its sources answer late.
-
-When a source reports another page, **Load more** appears below the covers.
-It appends the next page without duplicating entries that already arrived in
-the live result stream. A failed next-page request remains available to retry.
-
-Source settings belong to a single extension, so the **Source settings** tab
-asks you to pick one while **All sources** is selected.
-
-## Finding an episode, and what you have watched
-
-An episode list can run to hundreds of entries, so the episode header carries a
-filter box:
-
- A number, `12`, keeps that episode. Sources that report no numbers at all
-  are still searched by name, so `12` also matches `Episode 12` in a title.
- A range, `12-18`, keeps the episodes between the two, in either order
-  (`18-12` reads the same). Episodes the source gave no number are left out of
-  a range.
- Anything else is a case-insensitive substring of the episode name, so `beach`
-  finds `OVA: Beach Special`.
-
-The counter next to **Episodes** reads `6 of 25` while a filter is applied.
-Pressing Escape in the filter box clears it; pressing it anywhere else goes back
-to the results grid.
-
-Episodes you have already watched are dimmed and marked `✓ watched`, with a
-count in the header. This is not a separate list the browser keeps: it reads the
-same stats history the rest of SubMiner writes to, where an episode is marked
-watched once a session runs past the completion threshold. Streams are recorded
-under a stable per-episode identity, so the mark survives the stream URL
-changing between playbacks, and it is the same mark the stats window and
-`--mark-watched` use.
-
-Because playback marks an episode partway through the session, the marks
-refresh when the browser window comes back to the front: finish an episode in
-mpv, switch back, and it is marked. With
-[immersion tracking](configuration.md) disabled there is no history to read, so
-no episode is marked.
-
-### Marking by hand, and catching up
-
-Right-click an episode for:
-
- **Mark watched** / **Mark unwatched**: the single episode, whichever way it
-  is not already.
- **Mark this and N below watched** / **... unwatched**: that episode and every
-  episode listed below it. Sources list newest first, so "below" is the back
-  catalogue: right-click the last episode you saw and mark everything down to
-  the start, which is how you catch up a series you watched somewhere else.
-
-A filter narrows what you are looking at, not what you mark: a span always
-covers the full episode list, and the status bar says how many episodes it
-touched. The oldest episode has nothing below it, so it only offers the single
-entry. Escape closes the menu.
-
-Marking an episode you have never played creates its stats row so the mark has
-somewhere to live. That row carries the same series, season and episode fields
-playback would have recorded, and both stats library views join the lifetime
-tables, so a manually marked episode does not appear there as watch time you
-never spent. Clearing a mark never creates anything.
-
-Marks are written to the stats history, so with immersion tracking disabled
-there is nowhere to write them and the status bar says so.

-Enable `anime.autoOpenJimaku` to hand each newly loaded Anime Browser episode
-to Jimaku. SubMiner pauses playback on its first frame, waits for mpv's video
-window to appear, closes the in-player browser if it is open, hides the
-standalone browser window, and opens Jimaku with the source title, season, and
-episode already filled in. Playback resumes after the selected subtitle loads.
-Closing Jimaku also releases the automatic pause, while playback that was
-already paused stays paused. A stream that never shows a window resumes without
-opening Jimaku. Reopen the browser window with `subminer anime`, the tray
-entry, or the shortcut to keep browsing.
-
-## Source settings
-
-Most extensions need configuration before they return anything — a server
-address and credentials, a preferred quality, a language filter. Open the
-**Source settings** tab to edit them. Changes save as you make them and
-persist across restarts in `<userData>/anime-source-preferences.json`.
-
-Each save is handed back to the extension, so it can react: the Jellyfin source
-logs in when the address and password land, then fills in its media-library
-picker. Password-like fields are masked. Because that file can hold
-credentials, it is written with owner-only permissions. Values are scoped to
-the exact extension package and source, so two extensions that reuse the same
-internal source ID cannot read each other's settings. Preferences saved by an
-older build without package ownership are discarded; re-enter those source
-settings once after upgrading.
-
-## The bridge
-
-SubMiner looks for the server in three places, in order, and runs the first
-one it finds:
-
-1. `anime.bridgeDir`, if set. It must hold a Java runtime and the
-   `MExtensionServer-*.jar`, laid out as upstream ships them. A directory that
-   holds neither is an error rather than a silent fallback.
-2. A package-manager install. On Arch that is the AUR
-   [`mangatan-extension-server`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mangatan-extension-server)
-   package, which Mangatan also uses, at `/usr/share/mangatan/extension_server`.
-   Installing it means no download, and pacman keeps the bridge current. The
-   `subminer-bin` package lists it as an optional dependency.
-3. SubMiner's own copy in `<userData>/anime-bridge`. The first launch downloads
-   the newest upstream release that ships a bundle for your platform (~130 MB,
-   containing the server and a matching Java runtime, so no system JDK is
-   required), the same way Mangatan does. Releases older than the oldest server
-   SubMiner is known to work with are skipped. Progress appears in the banner
-   at the top of the window.
-
-The **Bridge** note at the bottom of the Extensions tab says which one is in
-use, its version, and who updates it.
-
-### Updating the bridge
-
-Only the copy SubMiner downloaded is ever updated by SubMiner. A package-manager
-install or an `anime.bridgeDir` belongs to whoever put it there.
-
-Once the bridge is running, SubMiner asks GitHub for the newest release and
-compares it with the installed version, including package-manager installs and
-custom bridge directories. When upstream has published a newer release, the
-banner reads "Extension bridge v… is installed; v… is available".
-
-For an AUR bridge, the banner directs you to update `mangatan-extension-server`
-through your AUR helper, for example `paru -S mangatan-extension-server`, then
-restart SubMiner. Custom installations get a reminder to use their package
-manager or original installation method. These notices have no in-app update
-button. The check uses upstream releases, so AUR packaging may lag behind the
-notice. External installations with an unreadable version do not show a notice.
-
-For SubMiner's own copy, the banner includes an **Update to v…** button.
-Clicking it downloads the new release beside the
-running bridge, so a failed download changes nothing, then stops the bridge,
-swaps the directories, and starts it again. The restart takes a few seconds
-and kills the stream of an episode that is playing, the same as when the
-bridge exits for any other reason; the queue and browser state survive. The
-check is one unauthenticated GitHub API call per bridge start; if it fails
-(offline, rate limited) it is logged and no update is offered until the next
-start.
-
-Upstream publishes no checksums, so the download is trusted the way Mangatan
-and the AUR package trust it: TLS to GitHub and the maintainer's account. That
-is the same trust running the server implies in the first place.
-
-The bridge stays running while the window is open. Resolved video URLs point at
-its own loopback proxy so the extension's cookies and headers apply, which means
-those URLs stop working once it exits — the window keeps it alive for the whole
-session.
-
-If the bridge dies anyway (killed by hand, crashed, or stopped mid-operation),
-the exit is detected and named in the status bar, and the next request starts a
-new one. Playback already in flight still ends when its stream URL dies, but the
-browser recovers without an app restart.
-
-Two known limits:
-
- There is no Android WebView, so extensions that need one (typically for
-  Cloudflare challenges) will fail with an error from the source.
- Bundles are published for macOS (arm64, x64), Linux (x64), and Windows (x64).
-  Other platforms are unsupported outright.
-
-## Playback
-
-Selecting an episode resolves the best available stream, applies the source's
-required headers as mpv `http-header-fields`, and loads it. The headers are
-readable back off mpv, so Anki card audio and screenshots fetch correctly too.
-
-HLS streams are routed through a small local proxy before mpv sees them. Some
-hosts disguise their video segments by prepending a fake image header (a real
-1x1 PNG) so scrapers back off; Aniyomi's own player strips this, but ffmpeg
-probes the segment as a picture and playback dies with "no audio or video data
-played". The proxy scans each segment for the first genuine MPEG-TS packet run
-and drops whatever junk sits in front of it. Segments that are not TS (fMP4,
-subtitles, encryption keys) pass through untouched, and direct-file streams
-skip the proxy entirely. Segment URLs disguised behind fake extensions
-(`.image`, `.jpg`, `.css`, and friends) are exposed locally with a `.ts`
-suffix so current ffmpeg releases accept them when Anki extracts audio,
-screenshots, or animated images from the playing stream.
-
-"Playing" in the status bar means playing: after handing mpv the stream,
-SubMiner waits until mpv actually configures a video output before reporting
-success. If mpv gives up instead — a dead host, an undecodable stream — the
-browser shows mpv's error rather than pretending playback started (a failed
-load leaves no mpv window, because the player idles windowless).
-
-Failed requests appear in a dismissible panel at the bottom of the browser.
-It explains the failed action and suggests a next step. Expand **Technical
-details** to read the bridge or mpv error when reporting a problem. Missing
-bridge APIs and incomplete extension data have distinct explanations; an
-update may be needed, but a compatible release may not yet be available.
-
-Choosing **Queue** resolves the episode and appends the playable stream to mpv's
-own playlist immediately, while its subtitle tracks cache in the background.
-That makes mpv's next command available at once and lets the next episode begin
-automatically when the current one ends, without waiting for another source
-request. Resolved stream URLs can be short-lived, so a very long queue can still
-outlive what its source issued; dequeue and queue that episode again to refresh
-it.
-
-### Japanese audio, and switching tracks
-
-Sources often return a dub and the original audio as two separate entries — or
-as two audio tracks of one stream — and the dub is frequently listed first.
-SubMiner always aims at the Japanese audio:
-
- Entries labelled as a dub are skipped as long as another entry exists. This
-  outranks `anime.preferredQuality`: a 1080p dub is the wrong file, not a better
-  one. If every entry is a dub, it still plays.
- mpv's `alang` is set to `ja,jpn,jp,japanese` before the file loads, so a
-  stream carrying several audio tracks starts on the Japanese one. With no
-  Japanese track, mpv falls back to the first one as usual.
- Any audio or subtitle tracks the extension supplies separately are added to
-  mpv with `audio-add` / `sub-add`, tagged with their language, and the
-  Japanese one is selected.
-
-The primary subtitle slot is reserved for Japanese — it is what the overlay
-mines. A source that only carries, say, English subtitles does not get them
-promoted to primary; instead the track is added with a normalized language tag
-(`English` → `en`), and the regular [dual-subtitle settings](configuration.md)
-apply: with `secondarySub.autoLoadSecondarySub` enabled and the language listed
-in `secondarySub.secondarySubLanguages`, it is picked up as the secondary
-subtitle, exactly as it would be for a local file.
-
-Every track is added, including the ones that are not selected, so all of them
-appear in mpv's track menu and can be switched by hand while watching
-(`#` cycles audio, `j` cycles subtitles by default).
-
-The extension hands over subtitle tracks as URLs, but SubMiner downloads each
-one to a temporary directory and gives mpv the local file. mpv is happy either
-way; [Subsync](/troubleshooting#subtitle-sync-subsync) is not, because alass
-needs a file on disk to use as the timing reference. A track that fails to
-download falls back to its URL so the episode still plays, the format is
-detected from the file's own content rather than its URL, and the directory is
-removed when the next episode starts or the app exits.
-
-### Series, season, and episode
-
-The episode's identity travels with it instead of being guessed back out of the
-stream URL, which carries nothing but a proxy path and a file extension. The
-title and episode label from the source's own listing are split into series,
-season, and episode number once, at launch, and everything downstream reads
-those fields:
-
- mpv's title reads `Series S03E04 - Episode Name`.
- Stats group by series, and rewatching an episode reuses its entry instead of
-  creating a new one.
- The [Jimaku](/jimaku-integration) and [TsukiHime](/tsukihime-integration)
-  modals open with Title, Season, and Episode already filled in, so a subtitle
-  search is one keypress rather than a retype.
- [AniList](/anilist-integration) progress updates use those fields directly.

 **Adjusting the clip.** Drag either edge to trim, drag the middle to slide the whole clip without changing its length, or click anywhere on the waveform to snap the nearer edge there.

Steady background music flattens out and dialogue stands up, which makes it much easier to tell adjacent lines apart.

 When older stats already grouped multiple seasons under one series entry, SubMiner moves parsed episodes into the season-specific entries on startup and rebuilds the affected summaries.

+**Live-action dramas and movies.** Anime covers come from AniList, which has no live-action titles. A title that AniList cannot match is looked up on [TMDB](/configuration#tmdb) instead (release builds bundle a key; source builds need your own): only a Japanese-language, non-animated result whose known titles match the parsed filename exactly is accepted, and it supplies the poster, synopsis, English and Japanese titles, and episode count. If nothing matches automatically, open the title and use **Link to TMDB** to search and pick it by hand. A TMDB show spans all of its seasons, so entries that resolve to the same TMDB title are merged into one card regardless of the season folder they came from, and the merged season titles are remembered so later episodes land on the same card. The **All Titles** / **Anime** / **Live Action** / **YouTube** selector above the grid narrows the Library to one kind, and a title's detail view shows whether it is a drama or a movie. Linking a title to AniList again turns it back into an anime entry. Changing providers downloads the replacement cover before saving the new link; a failed download leaves the previous link and artwork intact. A title without a cover clears the previous artwork. Automatic TMDB matching leaves existing AniList links unchanged.

 Jellyfin stream URLs are normalized to stable item links before stats titles are shown, so playback query parameters are not displayed in the dashboard.

+When YouTube channel metadata is available, the Library tab groups videos by creator/channel. Use the kind selector above the grid (**All Titles**, **Anime**, **Live Action**, **YouTube**) to filter the library. Channel pages show tracked videos and their stats without AniList controls. Existing channel entries are classified as YouTube automatically on startup, preserving viewing history and manual video assignments. Anime and YouTube entries with the same normalized title remain separate, including during stats sync. Channels are excluded from anime metadata matching, season repair, and duplicate recommendations.

 A library entry is identified by its parsed title plus any detected season, so the same show can end up on several cards when releases disagree about the title or omit the season tag. Two fixes are available:

- **Merge duplicates.** Hit **Select** above the grid, tick the cards that are the same show, and choose **Merge Selected**. Pick which entry to keep in the dialog; every episode moves onto it and the other cards are removed. Nothing is deleted, so sessions, mined cards and watch time all carry over. SubMiner remembers the merged title variants, so future episodes parsed with one of those names join the kept entry instead of recreating a duplicate card.
- **Move a single episode.** Hover an episode row in a title's episode list and use the **→** button to reassign it to another library entry. The correction is remembered, so later filename parsing or Jellyfin metadata cannot move that episode back. For local files, later episodes in the same directory inherit the correction when their detected seasons are compatible and every manual correction there points to the same entry; a file that parses to a title which already has its own library entry keeps that identity instead. Conflicting seasons or manual destinations are left for review. If the move empties the old entry, that card is removed and you are returned to the grid.

 Once cover art resolves a series to an AniList entry, cards with compatible seasons are folded together automatically only when the searched title exactly matches an AniList title or synonym. A fuzzy result that points at an AniList entry already used by another card appears as a **Possible duplicate** review above the Library grid instead. Choose **Review merge** to compare the cards and pick which one to keep, or **Not duplicates** to dismiss that suggestion permanently. Entries with conflicting explicit season numbers are left alone rather than merged or suggested.

If a usable title is unavailable, lookups are skipped and source fields show an unknown-media label. Stats identifies Jellyfin videos by server and item ID without the stream URL or API key.
 - **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.
 - **Downloaded subtitles keep their original timing.** 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 the subtitle files exposed by Jellyfin without letting mpv auto-switch between tracks, resets mpv's subtitle delay to zero, then selects the Japanese track. SubMiner does not compare Japanese and English cue timelines or save an inferred delay.

+On startup, SubMiner clears cached anime parser metadata containing both API-key text and Jellyfin stream markers. Metadata containing only one of these is preserved.

 Passages that fit within Whisper's 30-second audio window stay intact. Longer passages prefer nearby detected speech starts when choosing cuts, falling back to quiet pauses, with a small overlap to provide context. This reduces early subtitles caused by starting a clip well before its dialogue, while keeping all retained audio covered. Matching overlapping cues are combined even when punctuation differs; repeated dialogue at separate times remains separate. SubMiner runs each passage in a fresh Whisper process so decoder state from earlier audio cannot affect later passages. This reloads the model for each passage and can increase generation time. Subtitle cues stay within the supplied audio and retain each passage's position on the original timeline. Progress reports the current passage.

-This mode favors retaining dialogue over excluding music, so songs and background sounds may also produce subtitles. It can take longer than transcribing only VAD-approved speech. Whisper can still miss or misrecognize dialogue, and its timestamps remain estimates. Uncheck **Focus on spoken dialogue** to return to full-audio transcription for the session, or clear `vadModelPath` to change the default. A selected detector or model that fails stops generation with an error. Existing subtitles are preserved.

Whisper can still miss or misrecognize dialogue, and its timestamps remain estimates. Uncheck **Focus on spoken dialogue** to disable VAD for the session, or clear `vadModelPath` to change the default. Without a usable subtitle reference, disabling VAD returns to full-audio transcription. A selected detector or model that fails stops generation with an error. Existing subtitles are preserved.
+
+## Using loaded subtitles as timing references
+
+When generating for the video currently open in mpv, SubMiner automatically looks for a dialogue subtitle track among its embedded subtitles and loaded external SRT, ASS/SSA, or WebVTT files. It prefers English, then tracks labeled full or dialogue. Forced tracks, image subtitles, generated subtitles, and tracks whose titles or filenames identify signs, songs, lyrics, karaoke, or opening/ending subtitles are skipped. These checks rely on metadata; an unlabeled signs-only file cannot always be identified.
+
+The selected reference appears in generation progress. SubMiner reads its timestamps, including the active primary or secondary track's subtitle delay, and uses nearby cue starts to guide cuts in long audio passages. Short passages stay intact. The reference works with or without **Focus on spoken dialogue**. With that option enabled, reference starts take priority over VAD starts when choosing a nearby cut; VAD still helps identify speech. Audio outside reference cues remains eligible for transcription, and Whisper still supplies the Japanese text and final timestamps. The reference is assumed to be timed for the playing video; this does not automatically sync a mistimed reference.
+
+Unreadable or empty references are skipped in favor of another eligible loaded track. If none can be read, generation uses its normal audio timing. The launcher uses loaded references only when its input matches the video currently open in mpv; standalone generation keeps its existing behavior. It captures reference tracks and delays together with the initial audio selection, before checking or downloading a model. When relying on mpv's selected audio, it stops and asks you to retry if the media changes or cannot be verified during capture.

 ## Choosing a model

-Start with **small** for a balance of Japanese recognition quality and CPU time. This is a general starting recommendation, not a benchmark for your hardware. Tiny and base need less memory and usually finish sooner, with more recognition errors. Medium and large models favor accuracy but need more resources. Large-v3-turbo is optimized for speed compared with large-v3, with some accuracy tradeoff; actual performance depends on your CPU, GPU, whisper.cpp build, and audio.
+The modal recommends **large-v3-turbo** when it detects an NVIDIA GPU through `nvidia-smi` and the selected `whisper-cli` discovers an available CUDA device. Otherwise it recommends **small** for a balance of Japanese recognition quality and CPU time. The check works before downloading a model and falls back to small if a tool is missing, fails, times out, or reports an unrecognized result. Vulkan, AMD, and Apple GPU support do not qualify for the turbo recommendation. Checks are cached for up to 30 seconds; changing the Whisper executable path triggers a new check.
+
+The recommendation labels the model picker and explains the detected support. It does not change your configured model, current selection, external model path, or launcher's model choice. It also does not force a GPU backend during transcription. These are starting recommendations, not hardware benchmarks or guarantees that every model fits in available GPU memory. Tiny and base need less memory and usually finish sooner, with more recognition errors. Medium and large models favor accuracy but need more resources. Large-v3-turbo is optimized for speed compared with large-v3, with some accuracy tradeoff; actual performance depends on your CPU, GPU, whisper.cpp build, and audio.

 The picker includes whisper.cpp's official multilingual tiny, base, small, medium, large-v1, large-v2, large-v3, and large-v3-turbo downloads, including their available quantized variants. Quantized models use less disk space and memory, with possible accuracy loss. English-only `.en` models are excluded.

-**Syncing subtitles on a stream (Aniyomi extensions, Jellyfin)**

-Subtitle tracks mpv loaded from a URL are downloaded to a temporary file first, reusing mpv's own request headers, so they work as either the sync target or the alass reference. Downloading a Japanese track from Jimaku or TsukiHime while a stream is playing also works — it becomes the primary track and therefore the sync target.
-
-Internal subtitle tracks of a stream still go through `ffmpeg`, which has to reach the origin itself. If that fails, prefer an external track or a Jimaku download as the reference.
-
-Streams usually serve WebVTT, which alass cannot parse — it picks its parser from the file extension and treats a `.vtt` file as a video, failing with "no audio stream in file". SubMiner rewrites both the target and the reference as SRT for alass, so this is handled automatically; the retimed track mpv loads is that SRT.

-Most extensions need configuration first - a server address, credentials, a preferred quality. Open the **Source settings** tab and fill them in; each save is handed straight back to the extension.

 The integration runs through an in-overlay modal opened with `Ctrl+Shift+T` by default. The modal has two tabs that filter both the release list and the subtitle tracks of the selected release by role: the first follows `secondarySub.secondarySubLanguages` (English when unset), and the second is always **Japanese**, the currently supported primary subtitle language. Each tab lists only the releases whose reported subtitle languages include the tab's language, so the Japanese tab hides the many releases that ship English subtitles only. Releases and tracks with no language tag stay visible on the secondary tab. If nothing on the active tab qualifies, the status line says so and points at the other tab.

-When you open the modal, SubMiner parses the current video filename to extract a title, season, and episode number (same parser as Jimaku - `S01E03`, `1x03`, `E03`, and dash-separated numbers all work). If the filename yields a high-confidence match, SubMiner auto-searches immediately. Episodes launched from the [anime browser](/anime-browser) fill all three fields from the source's own listing instead of from a filename.

Results appear as a list of releases (e.g. `[SubsPlease] ... - 28 (1080p)`), each showing size, file count, and the subtitle languages the release carries.

 2. **Browse releases** - Select a release to list the text subtitle tracks extracted from its files. English tracks sort first; image-based tracks (PGS/VobSub) are filtered out.
 3. **Download** - Selecting a track downloads the xz-compressed subtitle from TsukiHime's storage, decompresses it, saves it next to the video (or a temp directory for remote/streamed media), and loads it into mpv. Japanese tracks are selected as mpv's **primary** subtitle. Tracks from the configured secondary tab are assigned to mpv's **secondary** subtitle slot without replacing the primary. The filename carries the track's language - `<video basename>.en.<ext>` for English, `.ja` for Japanese, and so on - so mpv and media servers detect the language correctly.

+## Changes since v0.20.0-beta.1
+
+- Added an optional subtitle selection modal for primary and secondary mpv subtitle tracks. Enable it in Settings > Behavior, then press `g` followed by `s`. Disabling it restores mpv's subtitle selection binding.
+  - Single-key shortcut actions now take priority over configured multi-key sequence prefixes, conflicting sequences are disabled with a warning, and existing `y` commands remain reserved.
+- Jellyfin casting and playback now honor a configured mpv executable path, allowing playback when mpv is installed outside the system PATH, and portable plugins located beside that executable are now detected.
+- Fixed word-card sentence furigana falling out of sync with full stats-search context and expanded timing-review selections; stale furigana is now cleared if regeneration fails.

 ## Highlights
+
 ### Added

- Library Merge & Reassignment
-  - Duplicate library cards for the same show can be combined: select entries in "Select" mode and use "Merge Selected" to combine their sessions, mined cards, and watch time onto one card.
-  - Episodes can be moved to a different entry with a per-episode "→" button, fixing stray files that split off their own entry; manual assignments now survive later filename parsing, Jellyfin refreshes, and season repair.
-  - Exact AniList matches with compatible seasons merge automatically, while likely (fuzzy) matches surface as a dismissible "Possible duplicate" suggestion instead of merging silently.
+- **Japanese Subtitle Generation**:
+  - Generate Japanese subtitles locally with whisper.cpp, right from a modal (`Ctrl+Shift+G`), the subtitle sidebar's generation button when no subtitles are loaded, or `subminer generate-subs`, with progress, cancellation, and automatic loading into mpv when it's done.
+  - Pick and download an official multilingual Whisper model in-app (including smaller quantized variants), or point Settings at one you already have. SubMiner recommends `large-v3-turbo` when CUDA is available and `small` otherwise, and tells you up front if `whisper-cli`, `ffmpeg`, or `ffprobe` can't be found.
+  - An optional "Focus on spoken dialogue" mode uses a Silero VAD model to keep quiet or music-covered dialogue that would otherwise get dropped.
+  - Long passages split near natural speech pauses, guided by an existing subtitle track when one is loaded, giving tighter timing and fewer repeated-word glitches.

- Duplicate Line Cleanup
-  - The Vocabulary tab's new **Duplicates** button scans a chosen time window for the repeated-line bursts described under Fixed below and collapses each burst to a single line once confirmed.
-  - A matching `subminer stats cleanup --duplicate-lines` command (with `--dry-run` and `--lookback-days <n>`) is available from the terminal.
-  - Only the affected subtitle lines and the vocabulary counts they inflated are touched; watch time and lines-seen totals are left as recorded.
+- **Media Timing Review Frame Picker**:
+  - The screenshot used for a mined card can now be chosen independently of the audio clip, with its own live preview, time slider, and frame-by-frame stepping.
+  - Works for local video and for seekable remote streams like Jellyfin.
+
+- **Overlay Keybinding Pickup**: The overlay now recognizes your mpv keybindings (from mpv's defaults, `input.conf`, and loaded scripts) as long as they don't conflict with SubMiner's own controls. Picked-up bindings work for the session but won't show up in the help menu.
+
+- **Subtitle Selection Modal**:
+  - An optional subtitle selection modal lets you pick primary and secondary mpv subtitle tracks without leaving the overlay.
+  - Enable it in Settings under Behavior, then trigger it with `g` followed by `s`; turning it off restores mpv's normal subtitle selection binding.
+  - Single-key shortcuts always take priority over multi-key sequences, and any conflicting sequence is disabled with a warning instead of misbehaving.
+
+- **Subtitle Sidebar Selection & Copy**: You can now select dialogue across multiple subtitle sidebar rows and copy it, without timestamps, using Ctrl/Cmd+C or the Copy button, without seeking or mining a card.
+
+- **Jimaku Live Action Search**: The Jimaku modal has separate Anime and Live Action tabs (switch with Arrow Left/Right) so you can search Jimaku's live-action subtitle catalogue directly.
+
+- **Live-Action TMDB Library**:
+  - Live-action dramas and movies in the stats Library now get posters, synopses, and titles from TMDB.
+  - Titles AniList can't match are looked up on TMDB automatically when the parsed filename matches a title exactly; otherwise use the new **Link to TMDB** action. Entries linked to the same TMDB title merge into one card, and the Library kind selector gained a Live Action option.
+  - Release builds already include a TMDB key; if you run from source, set `tmdb.apiKey` (or `tmdb.apiKeyCommand`) yourself.
+
+- **YouTube Library Kind**:
+  - YouTube channels are now their own Library media kind, with new All Titles, Anime, and YouTube filters. Existing channel entries migrate automatically with viewing history and manual video assignments intact.
+  - Channels stay out of AniList matching, season repair, and duplicate recommendations, and can't be merged or moved into an anime entry.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Bundled Bun Runtime**: Every SubMiner launcher, installed or downloaded, now runs on the Bun runtime bundled with the app instead of a system-wide Bun install. Recognized legacy launchers migrate automatically, Windows users get a new `subminer.cmd` download, and first-run setup now shows a single optional launcher control with runtime repair guidance only when something actually needs it.
+
+- **Compressed Incremental Sync**: Cross-machine sync between compatible macOS/Linux machines now transfers only what changed, compressed, using a cached snapshot from the last sync to cut traffic further. Machines without a compatible rsync (including Windows) fall back to compressed scp automatically, older peers keep working, and transfers now time out after 30 minutes instead of hanging indefinitely.
+
+- **Smaller Install Size**: Installers and the unpacked app are smaller after dropping demo media, source maps, TypeScript sources, test fixtures, and unused binaries, and sharing one Japanese UI font across windows. Release builds now publish a package-size comparison against the previous release.
+
+- **Stats Server Request Safety**: The stats server, including the in-app stats overlay which now loads through it, only accepts requests from the local machine and requires a JSON content type for anything that changes data. If you were exposing the dashboard through a reverse proxy or Tailscale Serve, that's no longer supported, and any script posting to the stats API needs to send `Content-Type: application/json`.
+
+- **Yomitan Updated**: Bundled Yomitan is updated to upstream 26.9.8, adding historical Japanese kana transformations and Ukrainian language support, plus improvements to Anki duplicate search and audio retrieval.

 ### Fixed

- Subtitle Duplication from Karaoke & Animated Signs
-  - Typeset ASS karaoke and animated signs no longer flood the overlay, subtitle sidebar, immersion history, mined cards, or stats with repeated glyph fragments or per-frame duplicates; the complete authored line is recovered instead, without merging genuinely repeated dialogue or separately positioned signs.
-  - Fragmented karaoke now preserves the spaces the author placed between words instead of joining them together, and lyric transitions (including seeking into the middle of a line) resolve to the clean line instead of a stray entrance or exit frame.
-  - The secondary overlay shares the same deduplication logic as the primary overlay, including collapsing lines that differ only by whitespace or trailing punctuation, and sidebar navigation moves between clean lyric lines while keeping the right line selected.
+- **Jellyfin**:
+  - Playback, subtitles, artwork, and remote control now authenticate with an `ApiKey` parameter instead of legacy headers, so Jellyfin 12 works correctly even with legacy authorization disabled.
+  - "Play on SubMiner" no longer silently drops the connection after about a minute on Jellyfin 12.
+  - Casting now honors your configured mpv executable path, so playback works and portable plugins are detected correctly when mpv isn't on PATH.
+  - The "now playing" bar clears when you close or finish a cast video instead of running to the end of the episode.
+  - Anki cards mined from Jellyfin now get the real episode title in the misc info field instead of "Unknown media".
+  - Jellyfin streams no longer leak URL-derived titles or credential-bearing URLs into metadata, Anki fields, Discord presence, stats, or AniList lookups; previously cached data that had credentials in it is cleaned up automatically.

- Anki Media Generation
-  - Sentence-audio generation no longer times out on slow network-mounted video files with many subtitle and font streams, and a failed extraction now reports a clear error instead of a raw `ENOENT`.
-  - Mined audio and animated AVIF clips now capture the subtitle line you actually mined, instead of whatever line happened to be on screen once slow audio extraction finished.
+- **Anki & Mining**:
+  - Word audio now reads from its own configured field (`ankiConnect.fields.wordAudio`) instead of the sentence-audio field, fixing animated word images that started moving immediately instead of on demand.
+  - Setting `ankiConnect.media.maxMediaDuration` to `0` for unlimited duration now also applies when mining from the stats dashboard, matching overlay mining.
+  - Closing the overlay while a media timing review is still loading now properly cancels setup, restores playback if the review had paused it, and cleans up the hidden preview player.
+  - Word-card sentence furigana now stays in sync with the full stats-search context and expanded timing-review selections, and clears stale readings automatically if regeneration fails.

- Character Dictionary Performance & Notifications
-  - Character dictionary generation, merged rebuilds, and imports no longer freeze the app on large dictionaries, and cached results (including character portraits) are reused across launches instead of regenerating everything every time.
-  - Portraits also now display correctly if their cache finishes loading after subtitles have already started showing.
-  - Desktop progress notifications, including on Linux AppImage installs, now update in place instead of flickering closed and reopening.
+- **Settings**:
+  - AnkiConnect, Kiku, and Senren settings are now validated before use, with a warning and a safe default for anything invalid instead of a bad value reaching runtime.
+  - Settings marked as applying live now correctly avoid showing a restart warning, and mixed saves apply the live parts immediately while listing only the sections that actually need a restart.

- Overlay Reliability
-  - Overlay modals (settings, stats, etc.) now open promptly on the first shortcut press, including on repeated sessions on Windows, and appear above fullscreen mpv on macOS instead of switching Spaces or opening off-screen.
-  - The macOS window-tracking helper is now built for macOS 12.0+, so the overlay attaches to mpv on older systems like Ventura instead of crashing and getting stuck on "Overlay loading."
-  - The overlay no longer gets stuck on "Overlay loading" indefinitely if mpv's connection stalls; it now retries and shows an actionable error after 30 seconds.
-  - Fixed native Wayland drag-and-drop from file managers like Thunar, and fixed system-wide mouse lag on Windows caused by the overlay's click-through handling.
+- **Overlay**:
+  - Clicking a subtitle sidebar cue no longer leaves Space bound to seeking back to it; Enter still seeks the focused cue, and Space keeps whatever playback action you've configured.
+  - Hyprland recovery dialogs now stay above SubMiner windows instead of being covered by overlay placement updates.
+  - Fixed a rare case on Linux where a delayed window-close callback could reopen the overlay after it was torn down.

- Stats Dashboard
-  - Deletes, library merges, video moves, and AniList reassignments no longer freeze the stats dashboard or rebuild lifetime totals from scratch; large deletes that used to take minutes now finish in milliseconds.
-  - Vocabulary totals and charts now count all tracked vocabulary instead of just the first page, and new-word history uses corrected daily rollups.
-  - Calendar labels respect time zones west of UTC, and vocabulary cards refresh automatically after editing the word exclusion list (with a Retry option if a load fails).
+- **Stats**:
+  - Malformed or partly invalid resource IDs are now rejected before they can affect library mutations or cover-art backfills.
+  - Stats server port conflicts now surface as a status notification instead of crashing SubMiner, and startup/shutdown are more robust: concurrent startup requests share one attempt, stopping a background instance no longer disconnects an open dashboard, and shutdown no longer waits indefinitely on active requests.

- Linux Launcher Thumbnails
-  - Fixed missing MKV thumbnails in the Linux rofi picker when the system thumbnailer only registers legacy Matroska MIME aliases.
+- **Subtitle Sidebar Gap Follow**: The subtitle sidebar now stays near actual playback position during gaps in files where a cue starts at time zero.
+
+- **First Launch on macOS**: Fixed first launch exiting immediately when the SubMiner config directory didn't exist yet.
