fix(jellyfin): fix overlay toggle sync, redirect reload, and AppImage bi

- Sync visible-overlay state back to plugin via script messages to avoid toggle/hide drift
- Collapse duplicate toggle events within 250ms to prevent hide-then-show on single keypress
- Preserve manual hide across Jellyfin path-changing redirects even when media-title drops
- Rearm managed subtitle defaults on path-changing redirects
- Route toggleVisibleOverlay session binding through plugin toggle instead of app-side IPC
- Show Linux/Hyprland overlay passively (showInactive) to avoid stealing mpv keyboard focus
- Fix AppImage binary resolution to prefer $APPIMAGE env over mounted inner binary
- Add stats window layer management so delete/update dialogs appear above stats window
- Fix Jellyfin remote progress sync during Linux websocket reconnect windows

 # Changelog
 
-## 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
-  - 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
-  - Added Playback Startup Flow and Runtime Sockets diagrams to the architecture docs with cross-reference pointers in the MPV Plugin and Troubleshooting pages

-- **Release Tooling:**
-  - Release-note polishing treats pending fragments and reviewed prerelease notes as a cumulative final outcome, collapsing prerelease-only fixes into the final user-facing change
-  - Prerelease generation reuses existing reviewed notes and merges only new fragment material
-  - `make clean` preserves `release/prerelease-notes.md`
-- **Tests:** Removed stale Yomitan vendor source-inspection assertions for changes that were not shipped.

@@ -34,14 +34,11 @@ 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

+- Kept that manual hide sticky across Jellyfin stream redirects that change mpv's path, even when the redirected URL drops mpv's media title.
+- Re-armed managed subtitle defaults during those path-changing redirects so Japanese primary subtitles can load on the redirected stream.
+- Routed visible-overlay shortcuts and app-side visibility changes back through the mpv plugin so SubMiner overlay toggling stays independent of Jellyfin playback controls.

+- Made Jellyfin external subtitle selection tolerate transient mpv `track-list` read failures and numeric string track IDs so Japanese subtitles are selected after preload on Linux.
+- Fixed AppImage-launched Jellyfin playback controls so mpv sends overlay commands to the running SubMiner app-control socket instead of the mounted Electron binary.

-## 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.

 ## Program Lifecycle
 
 - **Module-level init:** Before `app.ready`, the composition root registers protocols, sets platform flags, constructs all services, and wires dependency injection. `runAndApplyStartupState()` parses CLI args and detects the compositor backend.
 - **Startup:** If `--generate-config` is passed, it writes the template and exits. Otherwise `app-lifecycle.ts` acquires the single-instance lock and registers Electron lifecycle hooks.
-- **Critical-path init:** Once `app.whenReady()` fires, `composeAppReadyRuntime()` runs strict config reload, resolves keybindings, creates the `MpvIpcClient` (which immediately connects and subscribes to mpv subtitle/playback properties via `observe_property`), and initializes the `RuntimeOptionsManager`, `SubtitleTimingTracker`, and `ImmersionTrackerService`.
+- **Critical-path init:** Once `app.whenReady()` fires, `composeAppReadyRuntime()` runs strict config reload, resolves keybindings, creates the `MpvIpcClient` (which immediately connects and subscribes to 26 properties), and initializes the `RuntimeOptionsManager`, `SubtitleTimingTracker`, and `ImmersionTrackerService`.
 - **Overlay runtime:** `initializeOverlayRuntime()` creates the primary overlay window (interactive Yomitan lookups and subtitle rendering), registers global shortcuts, and sets up bounds tracking via the active window tracker. mpv subtitle suppression is handled by a dedicated `overlay-mpv-sub-visibility` service.
 - **Background warmups:** Non-critical services are launched asynchronously: MeCab tokenizer check (with async worker thread), Yomitan extension load, JLPT + frequency dictionary prewarm, optional Jellyfin remote session, Discord presence service, AniList token refresh, and optional AnkiConnect proxy server. Warmup coverage is configurable through `startupWarmups` (including low-power mode that defers all but Yomitan).
 - **Runtime:** Event-driven. mpv property changes, IPC messages, CLI commands, overlay shortcuts, and hot-reload notifications route through runtime handlers/composers. Subtitle text flows through `SubtitlePipeline` (normalize → tokenize → merge), and results are sent to the main overlay renderer and modal surfaces.

 # Changelog
 
-## v0.15.0 (2026-05-29)
+## v0.14.0 (2026-05-12)
 
-**Breaking Changes**
+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.
-
-- **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

-  - `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

 # 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. (AniList is an online anime/manga database; SubMiner pulls each show's character list from it.)
+SubMiner can build a Yomitan-compatible character dictionary from AniList 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.
-
-This is helpful because proper names rarely appear in normal dictionaries, so character names would otherwise be flagged as "unknown" words and clutter your mining. Recognizing them keeps your N+1 highlighting focused on real vocabulary.
 
 The dictionary is generated per-media, merged across your recently-watched titles, and auto-imported into Yomitan. When a character name appears in a subtitle line, it gets highlighted and becomes available for hover-driven Yomitan profile lookup.

 2. **Merge** — SubMiner maintains a most-recently-used list of media IDs (default: 3). Snapshots from those titles are merged into a single Yomitan ZIP — `character-dictionaries/merged.zip` — which is always named "SubMiner Character Dictionary" so Yomitan treats it as a single stable dictionary across rebuilds.
 
-3. **Match** — During subtitle rendering, Yomitan scans subtitle text against all loaded dictionaries including the character dictionary. SubMiner only accepts character entries for the current AniList media when that media ID is known, then flags matching tokens with `isNameMatch` and highlights them in the overlay with a distinct color.

-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.

When the override replaces a previous wrong match, SubMiner removes that stale media ID from the merged dictionary's active set and rebuilds/imports the merged character dictionary.

+- **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.
-- **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 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.
+- **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`.
 - **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.

-When you launch through the SubMiner app or the `subminer` wrapper, the launcher reads these settings from this config and injects them into the mpv plugin at runtime — there is no separate plugin config file to edit. `auto_start_overlay` controls whether the visible overlay shows on auto-start. Two related keys in the `mpv` block tune startup behavior: `mpv.autoStartSubMiner` starts the overlay automatically when a file loads, and `mpv.pauseUntilOverlayReady` pauses mpv on visible auto-start until SubMiner signals overlay/tokenization readiness.
+The mpv plugin controls startup overlay visibility via `auto_start_visible_overlay` in `subminer.conf`.
+For wrapper-driven playback, `subminer.conf` can also enable startup pause gating with
+`auto_start_pause_until_ready` (requires `auto_start=yes` + `auto_start_visible_overlay=yes`).
+Current plugin defaults in `subminer.conf` are:
+
+- `auto_start=yes`
+- `auto_start_visible_overlay=yes`
+- `auto_start_pause_until_ready=yes`
 
 On Windows, packaged plugin installs also rewrite the plugin socket path to `\\.\pipe\subminer-socket`.

 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:
 
-- Point the source path at a directory containing `term_meta_bank_*.json` for a fully custom source.
+- Set `frequencyDictionary.sourcePath` to 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.
-- Match mode controls which token text is used for frequency lookups: `headword` (dictionary form) or `surface` (visible subtitle text).
+- `frequencyDictionary.matchMode` 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 syncs the character dictionary and includes character-dictionary name matches in subtitle token metadata and renderer styling.
+- `nameMatchEnabled` controls whether SubMiner 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 name matching is enabled.
+- Matches come from the bundled SubMiner character dictionary, including AniList-synced merged dictionaries when enabled.
 
-Secondary subtitle styling lives in the secondary subtitle CSS object. Any CSS property not set there falls back to the secondary subtitle defaults, then the normal renderer defaults.
+Secondary subtitle defaults: `fontFamily: "Inter, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"`, `fontSize: 24`, `fontColor: "#cad3f5"`, `textShadow: "0 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.9), 0 0 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.55)"`, `backgroundColor: "transparent"`, `fontWeight: "600"`. Any property not set in `secondary` falls back to the CSS defaults.

 ### N+1 Word Highlighting
 
-When known-word highlighting is enabled, SubMiner builds a local cache of known words from Anki to highlight already learned tokens in subtitle rendering.
+When `ankiConnect.knownWords.highlightEnabled` 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.
-- The refresh interval controls the minimum time between syncs; between refreshes, cached words are reused without querying Anki.
+- `ankiConnect.knownWords.refreshMinutes` controls the minimum time between refreshes; 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.
-- The N+1 minimum sentence-word setting controls the token count required before N+1 highlighting can trigger.
+- `ankiConnect.nPlusOne.minSentenceWords` sets the minimum token count required in a sentence for N+1 highlighting (default: `3`).
 - `subtitleStyle.knownWordColor` sets the known-word highlight color for tokens already in Anki.
-- The known-word deck map accepts an object keyed by deck name.
+- `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.
-- 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 known-word matching to `"surface"` for raw subtitle text matching.
+- 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.
 - 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.
+- 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.
 - 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.

@@ -1497,14 +1497,14 @@ Current launcher behavior:
 - If YouTube/mpv already exposes an authoritative matching subtitle track, SubMiner reuses it; otherwise it downloads and injects only the missing side.
 - SubMiner loads the primary subtitle plus a best-effort secondary subtitle.
 - Playback waits only for primary subtitle readiness; secondary failures do not block playback.
-- English secondary subtitles are selected from the secondary-subtitle language list when primary language matches are unavailable.
+- English secondary subtitles are selected from `secondarySub.secondarySubLanguages` when primary language matches are unavailable.
 - Native mpv secondary subtitle rendering stays hidden during this flow so the SubMiner overlay remains the visible secondary subtitle surface.
 - If primary subtitle loading fails, use `Ctrl+Alt+C` to open the subtitle modal and pick a track.
 
 Language targets are derived from subtitle config:
 
 - primary track: `youtube.primarySubLanguages` (falls back to `["ja","jpn"]`)
-- secondary track: secondary-subtitle language list (falls back to English when empty)
+- secondary track: `secondarySub.secondarySubLanguages` (falls back to English when empty)
 - Local playback uses the same priorities after mpv reports subtitle track metadata, so sidecar/internal mixed sets can override an incorrect initial `sid=auto` pick.
 - Tracks are resolved and loaded before mpv starts; the older launcher mode switch has been removed.

-Short recordings of SubMiner's key features and integrations from real playback sessions. A few terms you'll see below: _Yomitan_ is the pop-up dictionary used for word lookups, _Jimaku_ is a community subtitle database, _alass_ and _ffsubsync_ are tools that retime subtitles to match the audio, _Jellyfin_ is a self-hosted media server, and a _texthooker_ is a web page that mirrors the current subtitle as selectable text for browser-based tools.

 SubMiner can log your watching and mining activity to a local SQLite database, then surface it in the built-in stats dashboard. Tracking is enabled by default and can be turned off if you do not want local analytics.
 
-"Immersion" here means time spent watching and reading native Japanese content. **All data stays on your computer** — nothing is uploaded anywhere. (SQLite is just a single-file database; you do not need to install or manage anything.)

 When enabled, SubMiner records per-session statistics (watch time, subtitle lines seen, words encountered, cards mined) and maintains exact lifetime summary tables plus daily/monthly rollups. You can view that data in SubMiner's stats UI or query the database directly with any SQLite tool.
 
-::: tip For most users
-Just leave tracking on and use the built-in [Stats Dashboard](#stats-dashboard). The retention, performance, SQL, and schema sections further down are reference material for advanced users who want to inspect or tune the database — you can safely skip them.

 Episode completion for local `watched` state uses the shared `DEFAULT_MIN_WATCH_RATIO` (`85%`) value from `src/shared/watch-threshold.ts`.
