+## Docs Upkeep

+- Docs ship with the change, not after. If a change alters behavior, defaults, flags, shortcuts, ports, or APIs, update the matching docs in the same PR. Touching code without reconciling its docs is an incomplete change.
+- Source of truth for config defaults is the generated `config.example.jsonc`. Never write a default value into prose you didn't read from it — and don't restate the same default across multiple docs; cite/link to one place so there's a single thing to update.
+- Trigger map (touch left → update right):
+  - `src/config/definitions/**` (schema/defaults/template) → `bun run generate:config-example`, then reconcile `docs-site/configuration.md` + any feature doc that cites that default
+  - shortcuts/keybindings (`shortcuts.*`, `keybindings`, `stats.*Key`, `subtitleSidebar.toggleKey`, controller bindings) → `docs-site/shortcuts.md`
+  - CLI flags/subcommands (`src/cli/args.ts`, `launcher/**`) → `docs-site/usage.md` + relevant integration doc
+  - feature behavior (anki / jellyfin / jimaku / anilist / youtube / immersion / stats / websocket / sidebar / character-dictionary / annotations) → matching `docs-site/<feature>.md`
+  - architecture / IPC / workflow / internal process → internal `docs/` (system of record)
+  - feature set / requirements / install flow → `README.md`
+- Removing or renaming a config key: grep `docs-site/` and `docs/` for the old key and any value it documented; legacy/hidden keys (`LEGACY_HIDDEN_CONFIG_PATHS`) should not appear in user docs as current settings.
+- Verify after doc edits: `bun run verify:config-example` (if config touched), `bun run docs:test`, `bun run docs:build`.

 # Changelog

+## v0.15.2 (2026-06-02)
+
+### Changed
+- Yomitan: Updated the bundled Yomitan build to the latest vendored revision.
+
+### Fixed
+- Anki - Animated AVIF: Clip timing no longer starts or ends early; word-audio lead-in and clip duration are now aligned to frame boundaries.
+- Overlay (Hyprland): Fixed fullscreen overlay alignment - modal, stats, and sidebar content no longer shift below the mpv window.
+- Overlay (macOS): Subtitle bars are now interactive immediately after autoplay starts with "wait for overlay to be ready" enabled, without requiring a manual click.
+- Overlay (macOS): Fixed overlay, subtitles, and subtitle sidebar staying hidden after a modal closes until the user clicked the mpv window; focus is now restored to mpv when the last modal closes, so playback shortcuts and the overlay reappear correctly - including in native fullscreen.
+
+## v0.15.1 (2026-05-31)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Linux Overlay Stacking**: Fixed the overlay intermittently dropping behind mpv on KDE Plasma and other non-Hyprland/Sway Wayland sessions; restored subtitle hover, pause-on-hover, and Yomitan lookups on X11/XWayland; the overlay now correctly layers above/below mpv based on fullscreen state, yields to foreground windows (Settings, Yomitan, AniList, etc.), and avoids startup flashes and fullscreen transition glitches.
+- **Linux Overlay (Hyprland Lua)**: Fixed overlay placement on Hyprland 0.55+ when using a Lua-based config.
+- **Manual Overlay Startup**: Fixed manual visible-overlay startup from mpv - now correctly attaches to playback, keeps the window bounds synced with mpv, and primes current subtitles before showing.
+- **Playlist Transitions**: Reused the warm overlay when mpv advances to the next playlist item, avoiding a redundant tokenization pause and preserving visible subtitles across tracks.
+- **macOS Overlay**: Fixed the visible subtitle overlay staying click-through after pause-until-ready releases playback; restored mpv focus after closing modal windows so subtitles and keybinds resume without clicking the player.
+- **Mouse Keybindings**: Fixed keybinding capture and runtime handling for mouse buttons, including side buttons like `MBTN_BACK` and `MBTN_FORWARD`.
+- **Windows mpv Shortcut**: Fixed the Windows `SubMiner mpv` shortcut so videos attach to an already-running background app instead of spawning a second process.
+
+### Docs
+
+- **Troubleshooting**: Updated Hyprland overlay docs with current Lua (`hl.window_rule`) and legacy config syntax; added troubleshooting for KDE/Wayland and other non-Hyprland/Sway Wayland sessions; added a Character Dictionary troubleshooting section; added a "See Also" index linking each feature's troubleshooting page.
+
+## v0.15.0 (2026-05-29)
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- **Subsync:**
+  - The `subsync.defaultMode` config option has been removed
+  - Subsync now always opens the manual subtitle picker regardless of any previously set default mode
+- **N+1 Highlighting:**
+  - N+1 highlighting now has its own dedicated `ankiConnect.nPlusOne.enabled` option, separate from known-word highlighting
+  - It is no longer enabled automatically when known-word highlighting is on - enable it explicitly to keep N+1 annotations
+
+### Added
+
+- **Auto-Updater:**
+  - Tray and `subminer -u` update checks with app update prompts
+  - Launcher and Linux rofi theme auto-updates
+  - Checksum verification and configurable notifications
+  - Opt-in prerelease channel via `updates.channel: "prerelease"`
+- **Settings Window:**
+  - New dedicated Settings window via `subminer --settings` or `subminer settings`, organized into Appearance, Behavior, Anki, Input, and Integration sections
+  - Click-to-learn keybinding controls
+  - AnkiConnect-backed deck, field, and note-type pickers that auto-fill from the configured Anki deck
+  - Cross-category search
+  - Live save for most options including subtitle CSS, stats keys, logging level, Jimaku, Subsync, and Anki mappings
+  - AI and translation settings remain config-file only
+- **Inline Character Portraits:**
+  - Optional AniList character portraits appear inline for name-matched subtitle text
+  - Manual AniList overrides scoped per parent media directory so separate season folders maintain separate character dictionary selections
+- **Character Dictionary Manager:** New `Ctrl/Cmd+D` manager modal to remove, reorder, or override loaded entries.
+- **Log Export:** Sanitized log ZIP export from the tray menu and via `subminer logs -e`, with home-directory usernames redacted from exported contents.
+- **Launcher CLI:**
+  - `subminer --version` / `subminer -v` prints the installed app version
+  - `mpv.profile` config and Settings support passes a named mpv profile to managed launches
+  - Bundled mpv plugin startup options are now configurable from SubMiner config
+- **First-Run Setup:**
+  - Optional installer for Bun and the `subminer` CLI on Linux, macOS, and Windows
+  - Windows `subminer.cmd` PATH shim so `subminer` works without manually adding `SubMiner.exe` to PATH
+  - Setup recognizes existing Homebrew or user PATH installs and avoids writing into Homebrew-owned paths
+  - Includes an Open SubMiner Settings button
+  - Standalone setup app quits after completing, returning terminal control
+- **Primary Subtitle Visibility on Yomitan Popup:** New `subtitleStyle.primaryVisibleOnYomitanPopup` option keeps hover-mode primary subtitles visible while a Yomitan popup is open.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Subtitle Appearance Config:**
+  - Primary and secondary subtitle appearance now use color controls plus CSS declaration editors, saved as `subtitleStyle.css`, `subtitleStyle.secondary.css`, and `subtitleSidebar.css`
+  - Known-word and N+1 annotation colors moved to `subtitleStyle.knownWordColor` and `subtitleStyle.nPlusOneColor`
+  - Subtitle font defaults updated to `Hiragino Sans, M PLUS 1, Source Han Sans JP, Noto Sans CJK JP`
+  - Existing configs migrate automatically; legacy Anki color keys still accepted with deprecation warnings
+- **Subtitle Style Defaults:**
+  - Stronger outline-style text shadow
+  - Thicker JLPT underlines
+  - Frequency `topX` default raised to `10000`
+- **Character Dictionary:**
+  - Entries scoped to the current AniList media for name matching and inline portraits
+  - Generates Japanese-only name aliases so raw romanized/English aliases no longer surface as separate results
+  - In-app AniList selector waits for an explicit search with the box prefilled from the current filename
+  - `subtitleStyle.nameMatchEnabled` is now the sole switch for dictionary sync and builds
+- **Electron Runtime:** Updated from 39.8.6 to 42.2.0, returning SubMiner to a supported Electron release line.
+- **Jellyfin Setup:**
+  - Removed the server presets dropdown
+  - Setup now shows a single editable server URL field
+- **Jellyfin Cast Identity:**
+  - Device identity now derived from the OS hostname and always reported as SubMiner
+  - Previously configurable identity fields are ignored, preventing multiple installs from sharing a remote-session identity
+- **Startup Defaults:** Jellyfin remote-session startup warmup and character-name subtitle highlighting now default to off.
+- **Setup Appearance:** Removed the bundled mpv runtime plugin readiness card from the setup flow.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **AniList Progress:**
+  - Progress updates fire correctly when playback reaches or skips past the watched threshold, using fresh mpv timing events
+  - Season-specific results preferred for multi-season files, with a clear message when the matched season is not in Planning or Watching
+  - Repeated missing-token checks no longer exhaust retry attempts or duplicate dead-letter entries
+- **Anki Mining:**
+  - Sentence-audio padding is opt-in by default
+  - Animated AVIF freeze-frame duration aligned to word audio length without double-counting
+  - Multi-line sentence alignment fixed for repeated subtitle text
+  - Kiku duplicate-card detection, auto-merge, modal acknowledgment race, and field/tag ordering corrected
+  - YouTube playback cards use mpv's resolved stream URLs
+  - Sentence cards refresh the secondary subtitle before saving
+- **Jellyfin Discovery:**
+  - Startup, subtitle track selection, and duplicate ready-signal handling all fixed
+  - Paused mpv no longer misreported as playing
+  - Resume corrected when a remote play command sends `StartPositionTicks: 0` despite saved progress
+- **Jellyfin Remote:**
+  - Tray checkbox stays in sync on Linux after tray, CLI, or startup changes
+  - Remote controller visibility and progress sync fixed for seeks, stops, startup path changes, and Linux websocket reconnect windows
+  - Play and Resume now behave correctly (Play from beginning, Resume from saved position)
+  - Final progress reports reuse SubMiner's last known position when mpv resets on stop
+  - Windows setup login flow fixed with an IPC bridge, immediate feedback, and a timeout with inline error for unreachable servers
+- **Overlay (macOS):**
+  - Overlay hides when mpv loses focus, is minimized, or is no longer the foreground app
+  - Stays stable through transient window geometry disappearances from macOS APIs and when clicking from the overlay back into mpv
+  - Stats overlay opened inactive so it appears over fullscreen mpv without switching Spaces
+  - Passthrough fixed so mpv controls stay clickable before hovering a subtitle bar
+- **Yomitan Sidebar:**
+  - Playback stays paused for sidebar-opened Yomitan popups when auto-pause is enabled
+  - Popups now open when startup races the Yomitan extension load
+  - Sidebar mining cards use audio and images from the clicked sidebar line instead of the current primary subtitle
+- **Launcher:**
+  - `subminer app` on Linux returns terminal control immediately
+  - `subminer app --setup` opens the setup flow when SubMiner is already running in the background
+- **YouTube Playback:**
+  - Selected subtitles downloaded to local temp files so the primary bar and sidebar read the same source, with cleanup on reload and quit
+  - False load-failure notifications suppressed
+  - Tray icon created on launcher-managed playback that attaches to an already-running process
+- **Shortcuts:**
+  - Native mpv menu shortcuts disabled during managed macOS playback so configured SubMiner shortcuts work while mpv has focus
+  - Custom session shortcuts including `stats.markWatchedKey` wired through mpv
+  - Multi-line copy/mine overlay correctly focused so number keys choose the line count on macOS and Windows
+- **Controller Bindings:**
+  - Controller config and debug shortcuts stay closed while controller support is disabled

 ### Added

- **Character Dictionary:** Added AniList-based character dictionary selection for resolving title mismatches — open it in-app with the new `Ctrl+Alt+A` shortcut or from the CLI with `subminer dictionary --candidates` / `--select`. Series-scoped overrides replace stale entries in the merged dictionary.

Series-scoped overrides replace stale entries in the merged dictionary.
 - **Primary Subtitle Bar:** Added a `V` shortcut and mpv plugin binding to toggle the primary subtitle bar without affecting mpv's native subtitle visibility.
 - **Texthooker:** Added `subminer texthooker -o` and a tray menu item to open the local texthooker page in the default browser.

@@ -34,11 +34,14 @@ Rules:
 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.
+- GitHub release notes and prerelease notes use short top-level items with nested bullets for the change, user benefit, and any useful action note. The stable `CHANGELOG.md` can stay in compact single-line bullets.
 - `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

+## Playback Startup Flow
+
+Before the app boots, something has to launch mpv, inject the plugin, and bring the overlay up. SubMiner-managed launches own this step - the `subminer` launcher, the app's own playback, and the packaged Windows shortcut all follow the same path. The launcher reads `config.jsonc`, spawns mpv with the IPC socket and the bundled plugin, and passes runtime settings as `--script-opts`. The plugin never reads a config file: the shipped `subminer.conf` is intentionally empty so command-line opts always win.
+
+Once mpv is up, exactly one of two triggers brings up the overlay. On a first launch the plugin's `file-loaded` hook self-starts the app once the socket is ready (because the launcher injected `auto_start=yes`). When the app is already running - or for explicit `--start-overlay` and YouTube flows - the launcher instead attaches over the control socket and suppresses the plugin's auto-start, so the two never fire together. Both converge on the same app bring-up, which then runs the Program Lifecycle below.

 # Changelog

-## v0.14.0 (2026-05-12)
+## v0.15.2 (2026-06-02)

-SubMiner no longer requires a globally-installed mpv plugin. The bundled plugin is injected at runtime only when SubMiner launches mpv — through the `subminer` launcher, the app's managed launch, or the packaged Windows SubMiner mpv shortcut. When you open mpv on its own, SubMiner is not involved and the plugin is never loaded. If you have a legacy global SubMiner plugin under mpv's `scripts` directory, first-run setup detects it and prompts you to remove it before playback starts.
+**Changed**
+- Yomitan: Updated the bundled Yomitan build to the latest vendored revision.
+
+**Fixed**
+- Anki - Animated AVIF: Clip timing no longer starts or ends early; word-audio lead-in and clip duration are now aligned to frame boundaries.
+- Overlay (Hyprland): Fixed fullscreen overlay alignment - modal, stats, and sidebar content no longer shift below the mpv window.
+- Overlay (macOS): Subtitle bars are now interactive immediately after autoplay starts with "wait for overlay to be ready" enabled, without requiring a manual click.
+- Overlay (macOS): Fixed overlay, subtitles, and subtitle sidebar staying hidden after a modal closes until the user clicked the mpv window; focus is now restored to mpv when the last modal closes, so playback shortcuts and the overlay reappear correctly - including in native fullscreen.

+## v0.15.1 (2026-05-31)
+
+**Fixed**
+
+- **Linux Overlay Stacking**: Fixed the overlay intermittently dropping behind mpv on KDE Plasma and other non-Hyprland/Sway Wayland sessions; restored subtitle hover, pause-on-hover, and Yomitan lookups on X11/XWayland; the overlay now correctly layers above/below mpv based on fullscreen state, yields to foreground windows (Settings, Yomitan, AniList, etc.), and avoids startup flashes and fullscreen transition glitches.
+- **Linux Overlay (Hyprland Lua)**: Fixed overlay placement on Hyprland 0.55+ when using a Lua-based config.
+- **Manual Overlay Startup**: Fixed manual visible-overlay startup from mpv - now correctly attaches to playback, keeps the window bounds synced with mpv, and primes current subtitles before showing.
+- **Playlist Transitions**: Reused the warm overlay when mpv advances to the next playlist item, avoiding a redundant tokenization pause and preserving visible subtitles across tracks.
+- **macOS Overlay**: Fixed the visible subtitle overlay staying click-through after pause-until-ready releases playback; restored mpv focus after closing modal windows so subtitles and keybinds resume without clicking the player.
+- **Mouse Keybindings**: Fixed keybinding capture and runtime handling for mouse buttons, including side buttons like `MBTN_BACK` and `MBTN_FORWARD`.
+- **Windows mpv Shortcut**: Fixed the Windows `SubMiner mpv` shortcut so videos attach to an already-running background app instead of spawning a second process.
+
+**Docs**
+
+- **Troubleshooting**: Updated Hyprland overlay docs with current Lua (`hl.window_rule`) and legacy config syntax; added troubleshooting for KDE/Wayland and other non-Hyprland/Sway Wayland sessions; added a Character Dictionary troubleshooting section; added a "See Also" index linking each feature's troubleshooting page.
+
+## v0.15.0 (2026-05-29)
+
+**Breaking Changes**
+
+- **Subsync:**
+  - The `subsync.defaultMode` config option has been removed
+  - Subsync now always opens the manual subtitle picker regardless of any previously set default mode
+- **N+1 Highlighting:**
+  - N+1 highlighting now has its own dedicated `ankiConnect.nPlusOne.enabled` option, separate from known-word highlighting
+  - It is no longer enabled automatically when known-word highlighting is on - enable it explicitly to keep N+1 annotations

 **Added**

- **Character Dictionary:** Added AniList-based character dictionary selection for resolving title mismatches — open it in-app with the new `Ctrl+Alt+A` shortcut or from the CLI with `subminer dictionary --candidates` / `--select`. Series-scoped overrides replace stale entries in the merged dictionary.
+- **Auto-Updater:**
+  - Tray and `subminer -u` update checks with app update prompts
+  - Launcher and Linux rofi theme auto-updates
+  - Checksum verification and configurable notifications
+  - Opt-in prerelease channel via `updates.channel: "prerelease"`
+- **Settings Window:**
+  - New dedicated Settings window via `subminer --settings` or `subminer settings`, organized into Appearance, Behavior, Anki, Input, and Integration sections
+  - Click-to-learn keybinding controls
+  - AnkiConnect-backed deck, field, and note-type pickers that auto-fill from the configured Anki deck
+  - Cross-category search
+  - Live save for most options including subtitle CSS, stats keys, logging level, Jimaku, Subsync, and Anki mappings
+  - AI and translation settings remain config-file only
+- **Inline Character Portraits:**
+  - Optional AniList character portraits appear inline for name-matched subtitle text
+  - Manual AniList overrides scoped per parent media directory so separate season folders maintain separate character dictionary selections
+- **Character Dictionary Manager:** New `Ctrl/Cmd+D` manager modal to remove, reorder, or override loaded entries.
+- **Log Export:** Sanitized log ZIP export from the tray menu and via `subminer logs -e`, with home-directory usernames redacted from exported contents.
+- **Launcher CLI:**
+  - `subminer --version` / `subminer -v` prints the installed app version
+  - `mpv.profile` config and Settings support passes a named mpv profile to managed launches
+  - Bundled mpv plugin startup options are now configurable from SubMiner config
+- **First-Run Setup:**
+  - Optional installer for Bun and the `subminer` CLI on Linux, macOS, and Windows
+  - Windows `subminer.cmd` PATH shim so `subminer` works without manually adding `SubMiner.exe` to PATH
+  - Setup recognizes existing Homebrew or user PATH installs and avoids writing into Homebrew-owned paths
+  - Includes an Open SubMiner Settings button
+  - Standalone setup app quits after completing, returning terminal control
+- **Primary Subtitle Visibility on Yomitan Popup:** New `subtitleStyle.primaryVisibleOnYomitanPopup` option keeps hover-mode primary subtitles visible while a Yomitan popup is open.
+
+**Changed**
+
+- **Subtitle Appearance Config:**
+  - Primary and secondary subtitle appearance now use color controls plus CSS declaration editors, saved as `subtitleStyle.css`, `subtitleStyle.secondary.css`, and `subtitleSidebar.css`
+  - Known-word and N+1 annotation colors moved to `subtitleStyle.knownWordColor` and `subtitleStyle.nPlusOneColor`
+  - Subtitle font defaults updated to `Hiragino Sans, M PLUS 1, Source Han Sans JP, Noto Sans CJK JP`
+  - Existing configs migrate automatically; legacy Anki color keys still accepted with deprecation warnings
+- **Subtitle Style Defaults:**
+  - Stronger outline-style text shadow
+  - Thicker JLPT underlines
+  - Frequency `topX` default raised to `10000`
+- **Character Dictionary:**
+  - Entries scoped to the current AniList media for name matching and inline portraits
+  - Generates Japanese-only name aliases so raw romanized/English aliases no longer surface as separate results
+  - In-app AniList selector waits for an explicit search with the box prefilled from the current filename
+  - `subtitleStyle.nameMatchEnabled` is now the sole switch for dictionary sync and builds
+- **Electron Runtime:** Updated from 39.8.6 to 42.2.0, returning SubMiner to a supported Electron release line.
+- **Jellyfin Setup:**
+  - Removed the server presets dropdown
+  - Setup now shows a single editable server URL field
+- **Jellyfin Cast Identity:**
+  - Device identity now derived from the OS hostname and always reported as SubMiner
+  - Previously configurable identity fields are ignored, preventing multiple installs from sharing a remote-session identity
+- **Startup Defaults:** Jellyfin remote-session startup warmup and character-name subtitle highlighting now default to off.
+- **Setup Appearance:** Removed the bundled mpv runtime plugin readiness card from the setup flow.
+
+**Fixed**
+
+- **AniList Progress:**
+  - Progress updates fire correctly when playback reaches or skips past the watched threshold, using fresh mpv timing events
+  - Season-specific results preferred for multi-season files, with a clear message when the matched season is not in Planning or Watching
+  - Repeated missing-token checks no longer exhaust retry attempts or duplicate dead-letter entries
+- **Anki Mining:**
+  - Sentence-audio padding is opt-in by default
+  - Animated AVIF freeze-frame duration aligned to word audio length without double-counting
+  - Multi-line sentence alignment fixed for repeated subtitle text
+  - Kiku duplicate-card detection, auto-merge, modal acknowledgment race, and field/tag ordering corrected
+  - YouTube playback cards use mpv's resolved stream URLs
+  - Sentence cards refresh the secondary subtitle before saving
+- **Jellyfin Discovery:**
+  - Startup, subtitle track selection, and duplicate ready-signal handling all fixed

+  - Tray checkbox stays in sync on Linux after tray, CLI, or startup changes
+  - Remote controller visibility and progress sync fixed for seeks, stops, startup path changes, and Linux websocket reconnect windows
+  - Play and Resume now behave correctly (Play from beginning, Resume from saved position)
+  - Final progress reports reuse SubMiner's last known position when mpv resets on stop
+  - Windows setup login flow fixed with an IPC bridge, immediate feedback, and a timeout with inline error for unreachable servers
+- **Overlay (macOS):**
+  - Overlay hides when mpv loses focus, is minimized, or is no longer the foreground app
+  - Stays stable through transient window geometry disappearances from macOS APIs and when clicking from the overlay back into mpv
+  - Stats overlay opened inactive so it appears over fullscreen mpv without switching Spaces
+  - Passthrough fixed so mpv controls stay clickable before hovering a subtitle bar
+- **Yomitan Sidebar:**
+  - Playback stays paused for sidebar-opened Yomitan popups when auto-pause is enabled
+  - Popups now open when startup races the Yomitan extension load
+  - Sidebar mining cards use audio and images from the clicked sidebar line instead of the current primary subtitle
+- **Launcher:**
+  - `subminer app` on Linux returns terminal control immediately
+  - `subminer app --setup` opens the setup flow when SubMiner is already running in the background
+- **YouTube Playback:**
+  - Selected subtitles downloaded to local temp files so the primary bar and sidebar read the same source, with cleanup on reload and quit
+  - False load-failure notifications suppressed
+  - Tray icon created on launcher-managed playback that attaches to an already-running process
+- **Shortcuts:**
+  - Native mpv menu shortcuts disabled during managed macOS playback so configured SubMiner shortcuts work while mpv has focus
+  - Custom session shortcuts including `stats.markWatchedKey` wired through mpv
+  - Multi-line copy/mine overlay correctly focused so number keys choose the line count on macOS and Windows
+- **Controller Bindings:**

+  - Binding learn mode starts from the edit pencil
+  - Remaps saved per controller profile
+  - Binding badges also start learn mode
+  - Row reset buttons restore individual bindings to defaults
+- **Logging:**
+  - `logging.level` forwarded to launcher-started and Windows shortcut-started mpv sessions, covering mpv log verbosity, plugin logging, and plugin-launched app logging
+  - `logging.rotation` (default 7 days) and per-component `logging.files` toggles added, with mpv logs disabled by default
+  - Repeated IPC socket warning spam suppressed while waiting for mpv to recreate the socket
+  - Windows mpv IPC, subtitle track, and Yomitan diagnostics added
+- **In-Player Stats:**
+  - Layering fixed so delete confirmations, overlay modals, and update-check dialogs appear above the stats window
+  - Jellyfin playback stats grouped by item metadata so watched episodes merge with matching local library titles and keep clean display names
+- **WebSocket Annotations:**
+  - Annotation spans and token metadata stay on the annotation WebSocket
+  - The regular subtitle WebSocket is plain-text only
+- **Subtitle Annotation Prefetching:** Cached colored annotations and character images ready sooner for live subtitle changes without delaying raw subtitle display.
+- **Windows Startup Errors:** Fatal startup failures now show a native error dialog and write details to the app log instead of exiting silently.
+
+**Docs**
+
+- **Documentation Site:**
+  - Published stable docs at the site root with current development docs under `/main/`
+  - Fixed versioned docs navigation, archived page link handling, and local dev version routing
+  - Documented all previously undocumented config options including `subtitleStyle.primaryDefaultMode`, `stats.markWatchedKey`, `immersionTracking.lifetimeSummaries.*`, and all seven `mpv.*` launcher options

 # Character Dictionary

-SubMiner can build a Yomitan-compatible character dictionary from [AniList](https://anilist.co) metadata so that character names in subtitles are recognized, highlighted, and enrichable with context — portraits, roles, voice actors, and biographical detail — without leaving the overlay.

 ## Name Matching

 Name matching runs inside Yomitan's scanning pipeline during subtitle tokenization.

-2. Entries from "SubMiner Character Dictionary" are checked with exact primary-source matching — the token must match the entry's `originalText` with `isPrimary: true` and `matchType: 'exact'`.

+6. If `subtitleStyle.nameMatchImagesEnabled` is enabled, the renderer also injects a small circular AniList portrait from the cached snapshot image data.
+
+Older snapshot schema versions are regenerated automatically. Current-version snapshots are normally reused, but when `subtitleStyle.nameMatchImagesEnabled` is enabled SubMiner also checks whether the cached snapshot contains usable character portrait data. If it does not, the snapshot is refreshed so the merged dictionary can include images.

 Name matches are visually distinct from [N+1 targeting, frequency highlighting, and JLPT tags](/subtitle-annotations) so you can tell at a glance whether a highlighted word is a character name or a vocabulary target.

+
+## Inline Character Portraits
+
+When `subtitleStyle.nameMatchImagesEnabled` is enabled, SubMiner injects a small circular portrait image directly into the subtitle line next to each matched character name.
+
+Portraits are sourced from the local snapshot - they are embedded at snapshot-generation time and served from the cached ZIP, so no network request happens during playback. Images are downloaded from AniList CDN once per character and stored in `character-dictionaries/img/`.
+
+If a snapshot was generated before portrait data was available (e.g. during an earlier version or offline sync), SubMiner detects the missing image data on the next media match and automatically refreshes the snapshot so portraits are included in the next merged dictionary build.
+
+**To enable:**
+
+- Settings → Subtitle Style → **Name Match Images**, or
+- `subtitleStyle.nameMatchImagesEnabled: true` in config.
+
+The portrait size is controlled by the surrounding subtitle font size and renders as a circle clipped from the character's AniList cover image.
+
+::: tip
+Inline portraits help you quickly associate names with faces while building vocabulary - especially useful for shows with large casts where you're still learning who's who.

- **Role badge** — color-coded by role: main (score 100), supporting (90), side (80), background (70)
- **Portrait** — character image from AniList, embedded in the ZIP

 ## Troubleshooting

- **Names not highlighting:** Confirm `anilist.characterDictionary.enabled` is `true` and `subtitleStyle.nameMatchEnabled` is `true`. Check that the current media has an AniList entry — SubMiner needs a media ID to fetch characters.
+- **Names not highlighting:** Confirm `subtitleStyle.nameMatchEnabled` is `true`. Check that the current media has an AniList entry - SubMiner needs a media ID to fetch characters.
+- **Inline portraits missing:** Confirm `subtitleStyle.nameMatchImagesEnabled` is `true`. On the next character dictionary sync, SubMiner refreshes current-version snapshots that do not contain usable cached character portrait data. Portraits still require AniList to return an image and the image download to succeed.
 - **Sync seems stuck:** The auto-sync debounces for 800ms after media changes and throttles image downloads at 250ms per image. Large casts (50+ characters) take longer. Check the status bar for the current sync phase.
- **Wrong characters showing:** Open the in-app character dictionary selector (`--open-character-dictionary`) or run `--dictionary-candidates`, then save the correct media with `--dictionary-select --dictionary-anilist-id <id>`. This replaces stale wrong-title entries for that series. If names are only from an older unrelated show, they'll rotate out once you watch enough new titles to push it past `maxLoaded`.
+- **Wrong characters showing:** Open the in-app character dictionary manager (`Ctrl/Cmd+D`) to remove/reorder loaded titles, then use **Override** to correct the active AniList match. You can also run `--dictionary-candidates`, then save the correct media with `--dictionary-select --dictionary-anilist-id <id>`. SubMiner ignores character entries from other loaded titles for subtitle name matching and inline portraits once the current media ID is known.
 - **Yomitan import fails:** SubMiner waits up to 7 seconds for Yomitan to be ready for mutations. If Yomitan is still loading dictionaries or performing another import, the operation may time out. Restarting the overlay typically resolves this.
 - **Portraits missing:** Images are downloaded from AniList CDN during snapshot generation. If the network was unavailable during the initial sync, delete the snapshot file from `character-dictionaries/snapshots/` and let it regenerate.

 Frequency dictionary highlighting uses the same dictionary file format as JLPT bundle lookups (`term_meta_bank_*.json` under discovered dictionary directories). A token is highlighted when it has a positive integer `frequencyRank` (lower is more common) and the rank is within `topX`.

 Lookup behavior:

- Set `frequencyDictionary.sourcePath` to a directory containing `term_meta_bank_*.json` for a fully custom source.
+- Point the source path at a directory containing `term_meta_bank_*.json` for a fully custom source.
 - If `sourcePath` is missing or empty, SubMiner searches default install/runtime locations for `frequency-dictionary` directories (for example app resources, user data paths, and current working directory).
 - In both cases, only terms with a valid `frequencyRank` are used; everything else falls back to no highlighting.
- `frequencyDictionary.matchMode` controls which token text is used for frequency lookups: `headword` (dictionary form) or `surface` (visible subtitle text).
+- Match mode controls which token text is used for frequency lookups: `headword` (dictionary form) or `surface` (visible subtitle text).
 - Frequency highlighting skips tokens that look like non-lexical SFX/interjection noise (for example kana reduplication or short kana endings like `っ`), even when dictionary ranks exist.

 In `single` mode all highlights use `singleColor`; in `banded` mode tokens map to five ascending color bands from most common to least common inside the topX window.

 Character-name highlighting is separate from N+1 and frequency highlighting:

- `nameMatchEnabled` controls whether SubMiner includes character-dictionary name matches in subtitle token metadata and renderer styling.
+- `nameMatchEnabled` controls whether SubMiner syncs the character dictionary and includes character-dictionary name matches in subtitle token metadata and renderer styling.
+- `nameMatchImagesEnabled` adds small circular portraits beside matched names using the AniList images already cached with character dictionary snapshots.
 - `nameMatchColor` sets the highlight color for those matched character names.
- Matches come from the bundled SubMiner character dictionary, including AniList-synced merged dictionaries when enabled.
+- Matches come from the bundled SubMiner character dictionary, including AniList-synced merged dictionaries when name matching is enabled.

 ### N+1 Word Highlighting

-When `ankiConnect.knownWords.highlightEnabled` is enabled, SubMiner builds a local cache of known words from Anki to highlight already learned tokens in subtitle rendering.
+When known-word highlighting is enabled, SubMiner builds a local cache of known words from Anki to highlight already learned tokens in subtitle rendering.

 Known-word cache policy:

 - Initial sync runs when the integration starts if the cache is missing or stale.
- `ankiConnect.knownWords.refreshMinutes` controls the minimum time between refreshes; between refreshes, cached words are reused without querying Anki.
+- The refresh interval controls the minimum time between syncs; between refreshes, cached words are reused without querying Anki.
 - `subtitleStyle.nPlusOneColor` sets the color for the single target token when exactly one eligible unknown word exists.
- `ankiConnect.nPlusOne.minSentenceWords` sets the minimum token count required in a sentence for N+1 highlighting (default: `3`).
+- The N+1 minimum sentence-word setting controls the token count required before N+1 highlighting can trigger.
 - `subtitleStyle.knownWordColor` sets the known-word highlight color for tokens already in Anki.
- `ankiConnect.knownWords.decks` accepts an object keyed by deck name. If omitted or empty, it falls back to the legacy `ankiConnect.deck` single-deck scope.
+- The known-word deck map accepts an object keyed by deck name.
+- Prefer expression/word fields such as `Expression` or `Word`. Avoid reading-only fields unless you intentionally want homophone readings to count as known words.
 - Cache state is persisted to `known-words-cache.json` under the app `userData` directory.
 - The cache is automatically invalidated when the configured scope changes (for example, when deck changes).
- Cache lookups are in-memory. By default, token headwords are matched against cached `Expression` / `Word` values; set `ankiConnect.knownWords.matchMode` to `"surface"` for raw subtitle text matching.
- Legacy moved keys under `ankiConnect.nPlusOne` (`highlightEnabled`, `refreshMinutes`, `matchMode`, `decks`, `knownWord`) and older `ankiConnect.behavior.nPlusOne*` keys are deprecated and only kept for backward compatibility.
- Legacy top-level `ankiConnect` migration keys (for example `audioField`, `generateAudio`, `imageType`) are compatibility-only, validated before mapping, and ignored with a warning when invalid.
+- Cache lookups are in-memory. By default, token headwords are matched against cached `Expression` / `Word` values; set known-word matching to `"surface"` for raw subtitle text matching.
+- A known-word cache match always receives known-word highlighting, even when part-of-speech filters suppress N+1, frequency, or JLPT annotations for that token.
 - If AnkiConnect is unreachable, the cache remains in its previous state and an on-screen/system status message is shown.
 - Known-word sync activity is logged at `INFO`/`DEBUG` level with the `anki` logger scope and includes scope, notes returned, and word counts.

-Jellyfin auth session (`accessToken` + `userId`) is stored in local encrypted storage after login/setup. The legacy `jellyfin.accessToken` and `jellyfin.userId` config keys are not resolver-backed settings in the current runtime.

+Jellyfin auth session (`accessToken` + `userId`) is stored in local encrypted storage after login/setup. SubMiner reports the Jellyfin client as `SubMiner`, derives the Jellyfin device id and visible device name from the OS hostname, and owns the client version internally. The Settings window also hides low-level default library fields (`defaultLibraryId`) so normal setup stays focused on server, auth, playback, and remote-control behavior.

 When Jellyfin is enabled with a server URL and SubMiner is running, the tray menu also shows a `Jellyfin Discovery` checkbox.

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.

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.

 ::: warning Wayland support is compositor-specific
-Wayland has no universal API for window positioning — each compositor exposes its own IPC, so SubMiner needs a dedicated backend per compositor. Only Hyprland and Sway have native Wayland backends. If you run a different Wayland compositor (GNOME, KDE Plasma, river, etc.), both mpv **and** SubMiner must run under X11 or Xwayland. The `subminer` launcher handles this automatically when `--backend x11` is set or the X11 backend is auto-detected.
