-
-Scope: Branch-only commits main..HEAD on refactor-overlay (a14c9da through 9e4e588) rebuilt overlay behavior around visible overlay mode and removed legacy invisible overlay paths.
-
-Delivered behavior:
-
-- Removed renderer invisible overlay layout/offset helpers and main hover-highlight runtime code paths.
-- Added explicit overlay-to-mpv subtitle visibility synchronization so visible overlay state controls primary subtitle visibility consistently.
-- Hardened overlay runtime/bootstrap lifecycle around modal fallback open state and bridge send path edge cases.
-- Updated plugin/config/docs defaults to reflect visible-overlay-first behavior and subtitle binding controls.
-
-Risk/impact context:
-
-- Large cross-layer refactor touching runtime wiring, renderer event handling, and plugin behavior.
-- Regression coverage added/updated for overlay runtime, mpv protocol handling, renderer cleanup, and subtitle rendering paths.

-
-Delivered behavior:
-
-- Added proxy server that forwards AnkiConnect requests and enqueues addNote/addNotes note IDs for post-create enrichment, with de-duplication and loop-configuration protection.
-- Added follow-up response-shape compatibility handling so proxy enqueue works for both envelope (`{result,error}`) and bare JSON payloads, including `multi` variants.
-- Added config schema/defaults/resolution for ankiConnect.proxy (enabled, host, port, upstreamUrl) with validation warnings and fallback behavior.
-- Runtime now supports transport switching (polling vs proxy) and restarts transport when runtime config patches change transport keys.
-- Added Yomitan default-profile server sync helper to keep bundled parser profile aligned with configured Anki endpoint.
-- Updated user docs/config examples for proxy mode setup, troubleshooting, and mining workflow behavior.
-
-Risk/impact context:

-## Description
-
-<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
-
-Scope: Replace monolithic `plugin/subminer.lua` with modular plugin runtime; optimize command execution paths; align install/docs/tests; fix launcher smoke instability.
-
-Delivered behavior:
-
-- Full plugin cutover to `plugin/subminer/main.lua` + module directory (no runtime compatibility shim with old monolith file).
-- Process/control command path moved toward async subprocess usage for non-start actions (`stop`, `toggle`, `settings`, restart stop leg), reducing synchronous blocking in mpv script runtime.
-- AniSkip path guarded: lookup runs only in SubMiner context (launcher metadata, explicit script-message refresh, or detected running app), instead of every opened file.
-- AniSkip lookup pipeline moved to async subprocess calls (no sync `ps`/`curl` on `file-loaded`) with deferred fetch after auto-start and session-level MAL/title/payload caching.
-- Startup/runtime loading updated with lazy module initialization via bootstrap proxies.
-- Plugin install flow updated to copy `plugin/subminer/` directory and remove legacy `~/.config/mpv/scripts/subminer.lua` file.
-- Added plugin gate script wiring to package scripts (`test:plugin:src`) and launcher test flow.
-- Smoke tests stabilized across sandbox environments where UNIX socket bind can return `EPERM` while preserving normal-path assertions.
-- Playback command cleanup race fixed when mpv exits before exit-listener registration.
-
-Risk/impact context:
-
-- mpv plugin loading path changed from single-file to module directory; packaging/install paths must stay consistent with release assets.
-- Async control/AniSkip path changes reduce blocking but can surface timing differences; regression checks added for cold start, file-load gating, and explicit refresh behavior.
-<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
-
-## Final Summary
-
-<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
-
-AniSkip gate/async update delivered in plugin runtime:
-
-- `plugin/subminer/lifecycle.lua`: deferred AniSkip fetch and overlay-start trigger.
-- `plugin/subminer/aniskip.lua`: async lookup pipeline + context guard + session caches.
-- `plugin/subminer/environment.lua`: async app-running detection with short cache.
-- `plugin/subminer/messages.lua`: explicit script-message trigger wiring.
-
-Regression coverage updated:
-
-- `scripts/test-plugin-start-gate.lua` now verifies:
-  - no sync `ps`/`curl` on non-context file load
-  - no AniSkip network lookup on non-context file load
-  - script-message refresh forces async AniSkip lookup
-
-Validation run:
-
-- `bun run test:plugin:src` pass.

-
-Add startup warmup controls to allow per-integration warmup or deferred first-use loading.
-
-Scope:
-
-- New config section `startupWarmups` with toggles for `mecab`, `yomitanExtension`, `subtitleDictionaries`, and `jellyfinRemoteSession`.
-- New `startupWarmups.lowPowerMode` policy: defer everything except Yomitan extension.
-- Keep default behavior as full warmup.
-- Ensure deferred integrations lazy-load on first real usage path.
-- Add test coverage for config parsing/defaults and warmup scheduling behavior.
-<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
-
-## Final Summary
-
-<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
-
-Implemented:
-
-- Added `startupWarmups` to config types/defaults/options/template/resolve.
-- Warmup scheduler now uses per-integration gating functions.
-- Low-power mode now defers MeCab, subtitle dictionaries, and Jellyfin remote session warmups while still warming Yomitan extension.
-- Tokenization path guarantees lazy first-use init for deferred dependencies (Yomitan extension, MeCab when missing, subtitle dictionaries).
-- Added/updated tests across config and runtime warmup modules.
-
-Validation:
-
-- `bun run test:config:src`
-- `bun run test:core:src`
-- `tsc --noEmit`
-
-Follow-up updates:
-
-- Startup now triggers warmups earlier in app-ready flow (right after config validation/log-level setup) instead of waiting for initial args/overlay actions. Goal: tokenization warmup is already done or mostly done by first visible-subs toggle.
-- Tokenization warmup scheduling consolidated as `subtitle-tokenization` stage; when enabled by toggles, it runs Yomitan extension first, then MeCab/dictionary warmups.
-- Added per-stage debug logs for warmup progress and skip reasons:
-  - `stage start/ready: yomitan-extension`
-  - `stage start/ready: mecab`
-  - `stage start/ready: subtitle-dictionaries`
-  - `stage start/ready: jellyfin-remote-session`
-  - `stage skipped: jellyfin-remote-session (disabled|auto-connect off)`
-- Added regression tests for stage-level logging and earlier startup ordering:
-  - `src/main/runtime/startup-warmups.test.ts`

-## Description
-
-<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
-
-Remove user-facing config keys for annotation POS exclusions. Keep N+1/frequency POS exclusion behavior as built-in defaults with no config required.
-
-Scope: remove config parsing/registry/docs/example for annotationFilters.pos1Exclusions/pos2Exclusions while preserving runtime filtering behavior.
-
-<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-
-<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
-
-- [x] #1 No user-facing config option exists for annotation POS exclusions.
-- [x] #2 Runtime N+1/frequency exclusion behavior remains active via built-in defaults.
-- [x] #3 Config/docs/example/tests updated accordingly.
-<!-- AC:END -->
-
-## Final Summary
-
-<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
-
-Removed user-facing subtitleStyle.annotationFilters POS exclusion configuration (schema/resolver/options/docs/example). POS-based N+1/frequency filtering now always uses built-in defaults in runtime. Preserved robust exclusion behavior including merged-token overlap POS handling and N+1-only MeCab enrichment path.

-Add a user-facing subtitle config option to pause mpv playback when the cursor hovers subtitle text and resume playback when the cursor leaves.
-
-Scope:
-- New config key: `subtitleStyle.autoPauseVideoOnHover`.
-- Default should be enabled.
-- Hover pause/resume must not unpause if playback was already paused before hover.
-- Docs/examples/tests updated.

-- [x] #1 `subtitleStyle.autoPauseVideoOnHover` exists and defaults to `true`.
-- [x] #2 Overlay pauses playback on subtitle hover and resumes on leave only when hover-triggered pause occurred.
-- [x] #3 Main/renderer IPC exposes pause-state query for safe hover behavior.
-- [x] #4 Config docs/examples and user docs/readme mention the new behavior and toggle.
-- [x] #5 Regression tests cover config parsing/validation and hover behavior edge cases.
-<!-- AC:END -->

-## Final Summary
-
-<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
-
-Implemented `subtitleStyle.autoPauseVideoOnHover` with default `true`, wired through config defaults/resolution/types, renderer state/style, and mouse hover handlers. Added playback pause-state IPC (`getPlaybackPaused`) to avoid false resume when media was already paused. Added renderer hover behavior tests (including race/cancel case) and config/resolve tests. Updated config examples and docs (`README`, usage, shortcuts, mining workflow, configuration) to document default hover pause/resume behavior and disable path.

-Add startup gating behavior for wrapper + mpv plugin flow so playback starts paused when visible overlay auto-start is enabled, then auto-resumes only after subtitle tokenization is ready.
-
-Scope:
-- Plugin option `auto_start_pause_until_ready` (default `yes`).
-- Launcher reads plugin runtime config and starts mpv paused when `auto_start=yes`, `auto_start_visible_overlay=yes`, and `auto_start_pause_until_ready=yes`.
-- Main process signals readiness via mpv script message after tokenized subtitle delivery.
-- Prevent duplicate auto-start attempts from showing `SubMiner already running` OSD.
-- Keep startup/loading OSD messaging visible and update docs/tests.
-
-<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-
-<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
-
-- [x] #1 Launcher reads `auto_start`, `auto_start_visible_overlay`, and `auto_start_pause_until_ready` from `subminer.conf` and starts mpv with `--pause=yes` when all are enabled.
-- [x] #2 Plugin pauses on eligible auto-start and resumes only on readiness signal or timeout fallback.
-- [x] #3 Main process emits `script-message subminer-autoplay-ready` after subtitle tokenization is ready.
-- [x] #4 Auto-start duplicate triggers are idempotent (no duplicate `--start` behavior and no spurious `Already running` OSD for auto-start path).
-- [x] #5 Docs and regression tests cover defaults, startup gating behavior, and duplicate-start suppression.
-
-<!-- AC:END -->
-
-## Final Summary
-
-<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
-
-Implemented startup pause gate across launcher/plugin/main runtime:
-- Added plugin runtime config parsing in launcher (`auto_start`, `auto_start_visible_overlay`, `auto_start_pause_until_ready`) and mpv start-paused behavior for eligible runs.
-- Added plugin auto-play gate state, timeout fallback, and readiness release via `subminer-autoplay-ready` script message.
-- Added main-process readiness signaling after tokenization delivery, including unpause fallback command path.
-- Split auto-start visibility control into separate control commands and added duplicate auto-start idempotency guard to suppress repeated auto-start `Already running` noise.
-- Updated plugin defaults to enabled (`auto_start=yes`, `auto_start_visible_overlay=yes`, `auto_start_pause_until_ready=yes`) and refreshed docs (`README`, usage, launcher, installation, plugin/config docs).
-- Added/updated regression coverage (`scripts/test-plugin-start-gate.lua`, launcher smoke/unit tests) validating paused startup, readiness resume, and duplicate-start suppression.

 # Anki Integration
 
 SubMiner uses the [AnkiConnect](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2055492159) add-on to create and update Anki cards with sentence context, audio, and screenshots.
-This project is built primarily for [Kiku](https://kiku.youyoumu.my.id/) and [Lapis](https://github.com/donkuri/lapis) note types, including sentence-card and field-grouping behavior.

-## Auto-Enrichment Transport
+## How Polling Works
 
-SubMiner supports two auto-enrichment transport modes:
+SubMiner polls AnkiConnect at a regular interval (default: 3 seconds, configurable via `ankiConnect.pollingRate`) to detect new cards. When it finds a card that was added since the last poll:
-
-1. `proxy` (default): runs a local AnkiConnect-compatible proxy and enriches cards immediately after successful `addNote` / `addNotes` / `multi` responses.
-2. `polling`: polls AnkiConnect at `ankiConnect.pollingRate` (default: 3s).
-
-In both modes, the enrichment workflow is the same:
 
 1. Checks if a duplicate expression already exists (for field grouping).
 2. Updates the sentence field with the current subtitle.

-### Proxy Mode Setup (Yomitan / Texthooker)
-
-```jsonc
-"ankiConnect": {
-  "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8765", // real AnkiConnect
-  "proxy": {
-    "enabled": true,
-    "host": "127.0.0.1",
-    "port": 8766,
-    "upstreamUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:8765"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Then point Yomitan/clients to `http://127.0.0.1:8766` instead of `8765`.
-
-When SubMiner loads the bundled Yomitan extension, it also attempts to update the **default Yomitan profile** (`profiles[0].options.anki.server`) to the active SubMiner endpoint:
-
-- proxy URL when `ankiConnect.proxy.enabled` is `true`
-- direct `ankiConnect.url` when proxy mode is disabled
-
-To avoid clobbering custom setups, this auto-update only changes the default profile when its current server is blank or the stock Yomitan default (`http://127.0.0.1:8765`).
-
-For browser-based Yomitan or other external clients (for example Texthooker in a normal browser profile), set their Anki server to the same proxy URL separately: `http://127.0.0.1:8766` (or your configured `proxy.host` + `proxy.port`).
-
-### Browser/Yomitan external setup (separate profile)
-
-If you want SubMiner to use proxy mode without touching your main/default Yomitan profile, create or select a separate Yomitan profile just for SubMiner and set its Anki server to the proxy URL.
-
-That profile isolation gives you both benefits:
-
-- SubMiner can auto-enrich immediately via proxy.
-- Your default Yomitan profile keeps its existing Anki server setting.
-
-In Yomitan, go to Settings → Profile and:
-
-1. Create a profile for SubMiner (or choose one dedicated profile).
-2. Open Anki settings for that profile.
-3. Set server to `http://127.0.0.1:8766` (or your configured proxy URL).
-4. Save and make that profile active when using SubMiner.
-
-This is only for non-bundled, external/browser Yomitan or other clients. The bundled profile auto-update logic only targets `profiles[0]` when it is blank or still default.
-
-### Proxy Troubleshooting (quick checks)
-
-If auto-enrichment appears to do nothing:
-
-1. Confirm proxy listener is running while SubMiner is active:
-
-```bash
-ss -ltnp | rg 8766
-```
-
-2. Confirm requests can pass through the proxy:
-
-```bash
-curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:8766 \
-  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
-  -d '{"action":"version","version":2}'
-```
-
-3. Check both log sinks:
-
-- Launcher/mpv-integrated log: `~/.cache/SubMiner/mp.log`
-- App runtime log: `~/.config/SubMiner/logs/SubMiner-YYYY-MM-DD.log`
-
-4. Ensure config JSONC is valid and logging shape is correct:
-
-```jsonc
-"logging": {
-  "level": "debug"
-}
-```
-
-`"logging": "debug"` is invalid for current schema and can break reload/start behavior.

-## Core Settings
-
-### Logging
-
-Control the minimum log level for runtime output:
-
-```json
-{
-  "logging": {
-    "level": "info"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-| Option  | Values                              | Description                                      |
-| ------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
-| `level` | `"debug"`, `"info"`, `"warn"`, `"error"` | Minimum log level for runtime logging (default: `"info"`) |
-
-### Auto-Start Overlay
-
-Control whether the overlay automatically becomes visible when it connects to mpv:
-
-```json
-{
-  "auto_start_overlay": false
-}
-```
-
-| Option               | Values          | Description                                            |
-| -------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
-| `auto_start_overlay` | `true`, `false` | Auto-show overlay on mpv connection (default: `false`) |
-
-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`
-
-### Startup Warmups
-
-Control which startup warmups run in the background versus deferring to first real usage:
-
-```json
-{
-  "startupWarmups": {
-    "lowPowerMode": false,
-    "mecab": true,
-    "yomitanExtension": true,
-    "subtitleDictionaries": true,
-    "jellyfinRemoteSession": true
-  }
-}
-```
-
-| Option                  | Values          | Description                                                                                       |
-| ----------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `lowPowerMode`          | `true`, `false` | Defer all warmups except Yomitan extension                                                        |
-| `mecab`                 | `true`, `false` | Warm up MeCab tokenizer at startup                                                                |
-| `yomitanExtension`      | `true`, `false` | Warm up Yomitan extension at startup                                                              |
-| `subtitleDictionaries`  | `true`, `false` | Warm up JLPT + frequency dictionaries at startup                                                  |
-| `jellyfinRemoteSession` | `true`, `false` | Warm up Jellyfin remote session at startup (still requires Jellyfin remote auto-connect settings) |
-
-Defaults warm everything (`true` for all toggles, `lowPowerMode: false`). Setting a warmup toggle to `false` defers that work until first usage.
-
-### WebSocket Server
-
-The overlay includes a built-in WebSocket server that broadcasts subtitle text to connected clients (such as texthooker-ui) for external processing.
-
-By default, the server uses "auto" mode: it starts automatically unless [mpv_websocket](https://github.com/kuroahna/mpv_websocket) is detected at `~/.config/mpv/mpv_websocket`. If you have mpv_websocket installed, the built-in server is skipped to avoid conflicts.
-
-See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options.
-
-```json
-{
-  "websocket": {
-    "enabled": "auto",
-    "port": 6677
-  }
-}
-```
-
-| Option    | Values                    | Description                                              |
-| --------- | ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `enabled` | `true`, `false`, `"auto"` | `"auto"` (default) disables if mpv_websocket is detected |
-| `port`    | number                    | WebSocket server port (default: 6677)                    |
-
-### Texthooker
-
-Control whether the browser opens automatically when texthooker starts:
-
-See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options.
-
-```json
-{
-  "texthooker": {
-    "openBrowser": true
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Subtitle Display
-
-### Subtitle Style
-
-Customize the appearance of primary and secondary subtitles:
-
-See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options.

-
-JLPT underlining is powered by offline term-meta bank files at runtime. See [`docs/jlpt-vocab-bundle.md`](jlpt-vocab-bundle.md) for required files, source/version refresh steps, and deterministic fallback behavior.
-
-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.
-- 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).
-- 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.
-
-Secondary subtitle defaults: `fontFamily: "Inter, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif"`, `fontSize: 24`, `fontColor: "#cad3f5"`, `backgroundColor: "transparent"`. Any property not set in `secondary` falls back to the CSS defaults.
-
-**See `config.example.jsonc`** for the complete list of subtitle style configuration options.
-
-`jlptColors` keys are:
-
-| Key  | Default   | Description             |
-| ---- | --------- | ----------------------- |
-| `N1` | `#ed8796` | JLPT N1 underline color |
-| `N2` | `#f5a97f` | JLPT N2 underline color |
-| `N3` | `#f9e2af` | JLPT N3 underline color |
-| `N4` | `#a6e3a1` | JLPT N4 underline color |
-| `N5` | `#8aadf4` | JLPT N5 underline color |
-
-**Image Quality Notes:**
-
-- `imageQuality` affects JPG and WebP only; PNG is lossless and ignores this setting
-- JPG quality is mapped to FFmpeg's scale (2-31, lower = better)
-- WebP quality uses FFmpeg's native 0-100 scale
-
-### Subtitle Position
-
-Set the initial vertical subtitle position (measured from the bottom of the screen):
-
-```json
-{
-  "subtitlePosition": {
-    "yPercent": 10
-  }
-}
-```
-
-| Option     | Values           | Description                                                            |
-| ---------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| `yPercent` | number (0 - 100) | Distance from the bottom as a percent of screen height (default: `10`) |
-In the overlay, you can fine-tune subtitle position at runtime with `Right-click + drag` on subtitle text.
-
-### Secondary Subtitles
-
-Display a second subtitle track (e.g., English alongside Japanese) in the overlay:
-
-See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options.
-
-```json
-{
-  "secondarySub": {
-    "secondarySubLanguages": ["eng", "en"],
-    "autoLoadSecondarySub": true,
-    "defaultMode": "hover"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-| Option                  | Values                             | Description                                            |
-| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
-| `secondarySubLanguages` | string[]                           | Language codes to auto-load (e.g., `["eng", "en"]`)    |
-| `autoLoadSecondarySub`  | `true`, `false`                    | Auto-detect and load matching secondary subtitle track |
-| `defaultMode`           | `"hidden"`, `"visible"`, `"hover"` | Initial display mode (default: `"hover"`)              |
-
-**Display modes:**
-
-- **hidden** — Secondary subtitles not shown
-- **visible** — Always visible at top of overlay
-- **hover** — Only visible when hovering over the subtitle area (default)
-
-**See `config.example.jsonc`** for additional secondary subtitle configuration options.
-
-## Keyboard & Controls
-
-### Keybindings
-
-Add a `keybindings` array to configure keyboard shortcuts that send commands to mpv:
-
-See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options and more examples.
-
-**Default keybindings:**
-
-| Key               | Command                      | Description                           |
-| ----------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
-| `Space`           | `["cycle", "pause"]`         | Toggle pause                          |
-| `KeyJ`            | `["cycle", "sid"]`           | Cycle primary subtitle track          |
-| `Shift+KeyJ`      | `["cycle", "secondary-sid"]` | Cycle secondary subtitle track        |
-| `ArrowRight`      | `["seek", 5]`                | Seek forward 5 seconds                |
-| `ArrowLeft`       | `["seek", -5]`               | Seek backward 5 seconds               |
-| `ArrowUp`         | `["seek", 60]`               | Seek forward 60 seconds               |
-| `ArrowDown`       | `["seek", -60]`              | Seek backward 60 seconds              |
-| `Shift+KeyH`      | `["sub-seek", -1]`           | Jump to previous subtitle             |
-| `Shift+KeyL`      | `["sub-seek", 1]`            | Jump to next subtitle                 |
-| `Ctrl+Shift+KeyH` | `["__replay-subtitle"]`      | Replay current subtitle, pause at end |
-| `Ctrl+Shift+KeyL` | `["__play-next-subtitle"]`   | Play next subtitle, pause at end      |
-| `KeyQ`            | `["quit"]`                   | Quit mpv                              |
-| `Ctrl+KeyW`       | `["quit"]`                   | Quit mpv                              |
-
-**Custom keybindings example:**
-
-```json
-{
-  "keybindings": [
-    { "key": "ArrowRight", "command": ["seek", 5] },
-    { "key": "ArrowLeft", "command": ["seek", -5] },
-    { "key": "Shift+ArrowRight", "command": ["seek", 30] },
-    { "key": "KeyR", "command": ["script-binding", "immersive/auto-replay"] },
-    { "key": "KeyA", "command": ["script-message", "ankiconnect-add-note"] }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-**Key format:** Use `KeyboardEvent.code` values (`Space`, `ArrowRight`, `KeyR`, etc.) with optional modifiers (`Ctrl+`, `Alt+`, `Shift+`, `Meta+`).
-
-**Disable a default binding:** Set command to `null`:
-
-```json
-{ "key": "Space", "command": null }
-```
-
-**Special commands:** Commands prefixed with `__` are handled internally by the overlay rather than sent to mpv. `__replay-subtitle` replays the current subtitle and pauses at its end. `__play-next-subtitle` seeks to the next subtitle, plays it, and pauses at its end. `__runtime-options-open` opens the runtime options palette. `__runtime-option-cycle:<id>[:next|prev]` cycles a runtime option value.
-
-**Supported commands:** Any valid mpv JSON IPC command array (`["cycle", "pause"]`, `["seek", 5]`, `["script-binding", "..."]`, etc.)
-
-For subtitle-position and subtitle-track proxy commands (`sub-pos`, `sid`, `secondary-sid`), SubMiner also shows an mpv OSD notification after the command runs.
-
-**See `config.example.jsonc`** for more keybinding examples and configuration options.

-**See `config.example.jsonc`** for the complete list of shortcut configuration options.
-
-Set any shortcut to `null` to disable it.
-
-Feature-dependent shortcuts/keybindings only run when their related integration is enabled. For example, Anki/Kiku shortcuts require `ankiConnect.enabled` (and Kiku-specific behavior where applicable), and Jellyfin remote startup behavior requires Jellyfin to be enabled.

-### Manual Card Update Shortcuts
-
-When `behavior.autoUpdateNewCards` is set to `false`, new cards are detected but not automatically updated. Use these keyboard shortcuts for manual control:
-
-| Shortcut       | Action                                                                                                             |
-| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| `Ctrl+C`       | Copy the current subtitle line to clipboard (preserves line breaks)                                                |
-| `Ctrl+Shift+C` | Enter multi-copy mode. Press `1-9` to copy that many recent lines, or `Esc` to cancel. Timeout: 3 seconds          |
-| `Ctrl+V`       | Update the last added Anki card using subtitles from clipboard                                                     |
-| `Ctrl+G`       | Trigger Kiku duplicate field grouping for the last added card (only when `behavior.autoUpdateNewCards` is `false`) |
-| `Ctrl+S`       | Create a sentence card from the current subtitle line                                                              |
-| `Ctrl+Shift+S` | Enter multi-mine mode. Press `1-9` to create a sentence card from that many recent lines, or `Esc` to cancel       |
-| `Ctrl+Shift+V` | Cycle secondary subtitle display mode (hidden → visible → hover)                                                   |
-| `Ctrl+Shift+A` | Mark the last added Anki card as an audio card (sets IsAudioCard, SentenceAudio, Sentence, Picture)                |
-| `Ctrl+Shift+O` | Open runtime options palette (session-only live toggles)                                                           |
-| `Ctrl/Cmd+A`   | Append clipboard video path to MPV playlist (fixed, not currently configurable)                                    |
-
-**Multi-line copy workflow:**
-
-1. Press `Ctrl+Shift+C`
-2. Press a number key (`1-9`) within 3 seconds
-3. The specified number of most recent subtitle lines are copied
-4. Press `Ctrl+V` to update the last added card with the copied lines
-
-These shortcuts are only active when the overlay window is visible and automatically disabled when hidden.
-
-### Session Help Modal
-
-The session help modal is opened with `Y-H` by default (falls back to `Y-K` if needed) and shows the current session keybindings and color legend.
-
-You can filter the modal quickly with `/`:
-
-- Type any part of the action name or shortcut in the search bar.
-- Search is case-insensitive and ignores spaces/punctuation (`+`, `-`, `_`, `/`) so `ctrl w`, `ctrl+w`, and `ctrl+s` all match.
-- Results are filtered across active MPV shortcuts, configured overlay shortcuts, and color legend items.
-
-While the modal is open:
-
-- `Esc`: close the modal (or clear the filter when text is entered)
-- `↑/↓`, `j/k`: move selection
-- Mouse/trackpad: click to select and activate rows
-
-The list is generated at runtime from:
-
-- Your active mpv keybindings (`keybindings`).
-- Your configured overlay shortcuts (`shortcuts`, including runtime-loaded config values).
-- Current subtitle color settings from `subtitleStyle`.
-
-When config hot-reload updates shortcut/keybinding/style values, close and reopen the help modal to refresh the displayed entries.
-
-### Runtime Option Palette
-
-Use the runtime options palette to toggle settings live while SubMiner is running. These changes are session-only and reset on restart.
-
-Current runtime options:
-
-- `ankiConnect.behavior.autoUpdateNewCards` (`On` / `Off`)
-- `ankiConnect.nPlusOne.highlightEnabled` (`On` / `Off`)
-- `subtitleStyle.enableJlpt` (`On` / `Off`)
-- `subtitleStyle.frequencyDictionary.enabled` (`On` / `Off`)
-- `ankiConnect.nPlusOne.matchMode` (`headword` / `surface`)
-- `ankiConnect.isKiku.fieldGrouping` (`auto` / `manual` / `disabled`)
-
-Annotation toggles (`nPlusOne`, `enableJlpt`, `frequencyDictionary.enabled`) only apply to new subtitle lines after the toggle. The currently displayed line is not re-tokenized in place.
-
-Default shortcut: `Ctrl+Shift+O`
-
-Palette controls:
-
-- `Arrow Up/Down`: select option
-- `Arrow Left/Right`: change selected value
-- `Enter`: apply selected value
-- `Esc`: close

-### Kiku/Lapis Integration
+**Kiku / Lapis Note Type Support:**
 
-SubMiner is intentionally built for [Kiku](https://kiku.youyoumu.my.id/) and [Lapis](https://github.com/donkuri/lapis) workflows, with note-type-specific behavior built into Anki settings.
+SubMiner supports the [Lapis](https://github.com/donkuri/lapis) and [Kiku](https://kiku.youyoumu.my.id/) note types. Both `isLapis.enabled` and `isKiku.enabled` can be true; Kiku takes precedence for grouping behavior, while sentence-card model/field settings come from `isLapis`.
 
-```jsonc
+When enabled, sentence cards automatically set `IsSentenceCard` to `"x"` and populate the `Expression` field. Audio cards set `IsAudioCard` to `"x"`.
-"ankiConnect": {
-  "isLapis": {
-    "enabled": true,
-    "sentenceCardModel": "Japanese sentences"
-  },
-  "isKiku": {
-    "enabled": true,
-    "fieldGrouping": "manual",
-    "deleteDuplicateInAuto": true
-  }
-}
-```
 
-- Enable `isLapis` to mine dedicated sentence cards. SubMiner sets `IsSentenceCard` to `"x"` and fills the sentence fields for the configured model.
+Kiku extends Lapis with **field grouping** — when a duplicate card is detected (same Word/Expression), SubMiner merges the two cards' content into one using Kiku's `data-group-id` HTML structure, organizing each mining instance into separate pages within the note.
-- Enable `isKiku` to turn on duplicate merge behavior for mined Word/Expression hits.
-- When both are enabled, Kiku behavior is applied for grouping while sentence-card model settings are still read from `isLapis`.
-- `isKiku.fieldGrouping` supports `disabled`, `auto`, and `manual` merge modes; see [Field Grouping Modes](#field-grouping-modes).

+### Keybindings
+
+Add a `keybindings` array to configure keyboard shortcuts that send commands to mpv:
+
+See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options and more examples.
+
+**Default keybindings:**
+
+| Key               | Command                    | Description                           |
+| ----------------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
+| `Space`           | `["cycle", "pause"]`       | Toggle pause                          |
+| `ArrowRight`      | `["seek", 5]`              | Seek forward 5 seconds                |
+| `ArrowLeft`       | `["seek", -5]`             | Seek backward 5 seconds               |
+| `ArrowUp`         | `["seek", 60]`             | Seek forward 60 seconds               |
+| `ArrowDown`       | `["seek", -60]`            | Seek backward 60 seconds              |
+| `Shift+KeyH`      | `["sub-seek", -1]`         | Jump to previous subtitle             |
+| `Shift+KeyL`      | `["sub-seek", 1]`          | Jump to next subtitle                 |
+| `Ctrl+Shift+KeyH` | `["__replay-subtitle"]`    | Replay current subtitle, pause at end |
+| `Ctrl+Shift+KeyL` | `["__play-next-subtitle"]` | Play next subtitle, pause at end      |
+| `KeyQ`            | `["quit"]`                 | Quit mpv                              |
+| `Ctrl+KeyW`       | `["quit"]`                 | Quit mpv                              |
+
+**Custom keybindings example:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "keybindings": [
+    { "key": "ArrowRight", "command": ["seek", 5] },
+    { "key": "ArrowLeft", "command": ["seek", -5] },
+    { "key": "Shift+ArrowRight", "command": ["seek", 30] },
+    { "key": "KeyR", "command": ["script-binding", "immersive/auto-replay"] },
+    { "key": "KeyA", "command": ["script-message", "ankiconnect-add-note"] }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Key format:** Use `KeyboardEvent.code` values (`Space`, `ArrowRight`, `KeyR`, etc.) with optional modifiers (`Ctrl+`, `Alt+`, `Shift+`, `Meta+`).
+
+**Disable a default binding:** Set command to `null`:
+
+```json
+{ "key": "Space", "command": null }
+```
+
+**Special commands:** Commands prefixed with `__` are handled internally by the overlay rather than sent to mpv. `__replay-subtitle` replays the current subtitle and pauses at its end. `__play-next-subtitle` seeks to the next subtitle, plays it, and pauses at its end. `__runtime-options-open` opens the runtime options palette. `__runtime-option-cycle:<id>[:next|prev]` cycles a runtime option value.
+
+**Supported commands:** Any valid mpv JSON IPC command array (`["cycle", "pause"]`, `["seek", 5]`, `["script-binding", "..."]`, etc.)
+
+**See `config.example.jsonc`** for more keybinding examples and configuration options.
+
+### Runtime Option Palette
+
+Use the runtime options palette to toggle settings live while SubMiner is running. These changes are session-only and reset on restart.
+
+Current runtime options:
+
+- `ankiConnect.behavior.autoUpdateNewCards` (`On` / `Off`)
+- `ankiConnect.isKiku.fieldGrouping` (`auto` / `manual` / `disabled`)
+
+Default shortcut: `Ctrl+Shift+O`
+
+Palette controls:
+
+- `Arrow Up/Down`: select option
+- `Arrow Left/Right`: change selected value
+- `Enter`: apply selected value
+- `Esc`: close
+
+### Secondary Subtitles
+
+Display a second subtitle track (e.g., English alongside Japanese) in the overlay:
+
+See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options.
+
+```json
+{
+  "secondarySub": {
+    "secondarySubLanguages": ["eng", "en"],
+    "autoLoadSecondarySub": true,
+    "defaultMode": "hover"
+  }
+}
+```

+| `defaultMode`           | `"hidden"`, `"visible"`, `"hover"` | Initial display mode (default: `"hover"`)              |
+
+**Display modes:**
+
+- **hidden** — Secondary subtitles not shown
+- **visible** — Always visible at top of overlay
+- **hover** — Only visible when hovering over the subtitle area (default)
+
+**See `config.example.jsonc`** for additional secondary subtitle configuration options.

+
+JLPT underlining is powered by offline term-meta bank files at runtime. See [`docs/jlpt-vocab-bundle.md`](jlpt-vocab-bundle.md) for required files, source/version refresh steps, and deterministic fallback behavior.
+
+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.
+- If `sourcePath` is missing or empty, SubMiner uses bundled defaults from `vendor/jiten_freq_global` (packaged under `<resources>/jiten_freq_global` in distribution builds).
+- In both cases, only terms with a valid `frequencyRank` are used; everything else falls back to no highlighting.
+
+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.
+
+Secondary subtitle defaults: `fontSize: 24`, `fontColor: "#ffffff"`, `backgroundColor: "transparent"`. Any property not set in `secondary` falls back to the CSS defaults.

+
+### WebSocket Server
+
+The overlay includes a built-in WebSocket server that broadcasts subtitle text to connected clients (such as texthooker-ui) for external processing.
+
+By default, the server uses "auto" mode: it starts automatically unless [mpv_websocket](https://github.com/kuroahna/mpv_websocket) is detected at `~/.config/mpv/mpv_websocket`. If you have mpv_websocket installed, the built-in server is skipped to avoid conflicts.
+
+See `config.example.jsonc` for detailed configuration options.
+
+```json
+{
+  "websocket": {
+    "enabled": "auto",
+    "port": 6677
+  }
+}
+```
+
+| Option    | Values                    | Description                                              |
+| --------- | ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `enabled` | `true`, `false`, `"auto"` | `"auto"` (default) disables if mpv_websocket is detected |

 The visible overlay renders subtitles as tokenized, clickable word spans. Each word is a separate element with reading and headword data attached. This plane is styled independently from mpv subtitles and supports:
 
 - Word-level click targets for Yomitan lookup
-- Auto pause/resume on subtitle hover (enabled by default via `subtitleStyle.autoPauseVideoOnHover`)
 - Right-click to pause/resume
 - Right-click + drag to reposition subtitles
 - Modal dialogs for Jimaku search, field grouping, subsync, and runtime options
 - **N+1 highlighting** — known words from your Anki deck are visually highlighted
 
-Toggle visibility with `Alt+Shift+O` (global) or `y-t` (mpv plugin).

-Jimaku search, field-grouping, runtime options, and manual subsync open as modal surfaces on top of the same overlay window.
+The invisible overlay is a transparent layer aligned with mpv's own subtitle rendering. It uses mpv's subtitle metrics (font size, margins, position, scaling) to map click targets accurately.
+
+This layer still supports:
+
+- Word-level click-through lookups over the text region

-- Lookups are asynchronous (no blocking `ps`/`curl` on `file-loaded`).
-- MAL/title resolution is cached for the current mpv session.
 - When launched via `subminer`, launcher runs `guessit` first (file targets) and passes title/season/episode to the plugin; fallback is filename-derived title.
 - Install `guessit` for best detection quality (`python3 -m pip install --user guessit`).
 - If OP interval exists, plugin adds `AniSkip Intro Start` and `AniSkip Intro End` chapters.

 ## Lifecycle
 
-- **File loaded**: If `auto_start=yes`, the plugin starts the overlay, then defers AniSkip lookup until after startup delay.
+- **File loaded**: If `auto_start=yes`, the plugin starts the overlay and applies visibility preferences after a short delay.
-- **Auto-start pause gate**: If `auto_start_visible_overlay=yes` and `auto_start_pause_until_ready=yes`, launcher starts mpv paused and the plugin resumes playback after SubMiner reports tokenization-ready (with timeout fallback).
-- **Duplicate auto-start events**: Repeated `file-loaded` hooks while overlay is already running are ignored for auto-start triggers (prevents duplicate start attempts).
 - **MPV shutdown**: The plugin sends a stop command to gracefully shut down both the overlay and the texthooker server.
 - **Texthooker**: Starts as a separate subprocess before the overlay to ensure the app lock is acquired first.

-# Secondary Subtitles Main Overlay Implementation Plan
-
-> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
-
-**Goal:** Ensure secondary subtitles render in the unified main overlay window and remove stale secondary-window/layer paths.
-
-**Architecture:** Keep secondary subtitle DOM in the shared renderer tree, rely on mode classes (`secondary-sub-hidden|visible|hover`) for visibility, and remove obsolete legacy overlay-layer assumptions. Preserve modal behavior and existing subtitle rendering flow.
-
-**Tech Stack:** TypeScript, Electron renderer CSS/DOM, Bun test runner.
-
----
-
-### Task 1: Add Regression Tests For Main Overlay Secondary Rendering
-
-**Files:**
-
-- Modify: `src/renderer/subtitle-render.test.ts`
-- Modify: `src/renderer/error-recovery.test.ts`
-
-**Step 1: Write failing tests**
-
-- Assert stylesheet no longer hides secondary subtitles in `layer-visible`.
-- Assert renderer platform resolution ignores legacy `secondary` overlay layer.
-
-**Step 2: Run tests to verify failures**
-
-Run: `bun test src/renderer/subtitle-render.test.ts src/renderer/error-recovery.test.ts`
-Expected: FAIL on secondary subtitle hide rule + legacy secondary layer handling.
-
-### Task 2: Remove Secondary-Window CSS/Routing Assumptions
-
-**Files:**
-
-- Modify: `src/renderer/style.css`
-- Modify: `src/renderer/utils/platform.ts`
-- Modify: `src/renderer/error-recovery.ts`
-- Modify: `src/types.ts`
-
-**Step 1: Implement minimal changes**
-
-- Remove legacy forced hide on `#secondarySubContainer`.
-- Remove obsolete layer-specific secondary-subtitle CSS blocks.
-- Drop legacy `secondary` overlay-layer parsing path from renderer platform resolver.
-- Narrow related overlay layer type unions.
-

 There are two ways to use SubMiner — the `subminer` wrapper script or the mpv plugin:

-
-SubMiner includes a bundled Yomitan extension for overlay word lookup. This bundled extension is separate from any Yomitan browser extension you may have installed.
-
-For SubMiner overlay lookups to work, open Yomitan settings (`subminer app --settings` or `SubMiner.AppImage --settings`) and import at least one dictionary in the bundled Yomitan instance.
