+- A large character dictionary no longer fails to install. The Yomitan import (and the delete that precedes it) used a flat 7 second budget, so a series like One Piece failed with `importYomitanDictionary(merged.zip) timed out after 7000ms` while the import was still healthy. The budget is now sized from the merged ZIP (2 minutes plus 6 seconds per MB, capped at 30 minutes); the quick queries keep the 7 second budget.
+- The "Generating character dictionary" notification now reports what it is doing instead of one static message for the whole run: the AniList page and character count while characters download (`page 12, 587 characters`), then `image 240/1220, ~4m left` per downloaded character/voice actor image, then `name 800/1220` for MeCab name splits and `saving snapshot` at the end. Updates are throttled to one per second, and every stage change and final item always reports.
+- Every long phase also carries an elapsed clock (`· 1m 35s`), refreshed every 5 seconds even when nothing else moves, so a stalled step is visibly different from a frozen app. Long imports tick the same way.
+- Image downloads are also logged every 100 files, and the import logs the timeout it computed.

-- Library: duplicate cards for the same show can now be combined. Press "Select" above the library grid, tick the cards, and use "Merge Selected"; the dialog picks which entry to keep and moves every episode onto it. Sessions, mined cards, and watch time are preserved, the emptied entries disappear, and remembered title aliases keep future episodes on the merged card.
-- Library: episodes can be reassigned to another library entry from the "→" button on an episode row, which is the fix when one file lands under a stray title (e.g. an episode name parsed as the series). Emptying an entry this way removes it and returns to the grid.

+- Heavily typeset ASS scripts (karaoke OP/ED, sign work) no longer fill the subtitle sidebar with garbage. Vector drawing runs (`\p1` … `\p0`) are no longer shown as subtitle text (e.g. `m 20 0 b 10 0 0 10 0 20 …`), and duplicate events in a parsed subtitle file collapse into one cue: identical text over an identical span (layered "shadow" copies), and per-frame animation bursts. An ASS burst has to prove itself with authoring evidence — a temporal tag (`\t`, `\move`, karaoke timing), an animated `Effect` column, or override values that change from event to event — plus one shared style and actor, so three rapid `えっ` reactions from three characters, or a sign repeated with the same static `\clip`, stay separate. SRT and VTT carry no such metadata, so there the run has to be at least five contiguous events all shorter than 0.1s, which is where ASS-to-SRT conversion leaves karaoke frames.
+- Subtitle text is now decoded from ASS exactly once, where it enters the app, and matches how mpv renders the same line (including `\N`, `\n`, `\h`, unclosed `{`, and the fact that `\{` is not an escape). Renderer, timing tracker, tokenizer and the tokenization cache take that decoded text as-is instead of each re-deriving it, so one authored line can no longer produce two different cache keys, and a cue that normalizes to nothing is no longer stored as subtitle text or cached under an empty key.

 When YouTube channel metadata is available, the Library tab groups videos by creator/channel and treats each tracked video as an episode-like entry inside that channel section.
 
-A library entry is identified by its parsed title plus any detected season, so the same show can end up on several cards when releases disagree about the title or omit the season tag. Two fixes are available:
-
-- **Merge duplicates.** Hit **Select** above the grid, tick the cards that are the same show, and choose **Merge Selected**. Pick which entry to keep in the dialog; every episode moves onto it and the other cards are removed. Nothing is deleted, so sessions, mined cards and watch time all carry over. SubMiner remembers the merged title variants, so future episodes parsed with one of those names join the kept entry instead of recreating a duplicate card.
-- **Move a single episode.** Hover an episode row in a title's episode list and use the **→** button to reassign it to another library entry. If that was the entry's last episode, the now-empty card is removed and you are returned to the grid.
-
-Once cover art resolves a series to an AniList entry, cards with compatible seasons are folded together automatically only when the searched title exactly matches an AniList title or synonym. A fuzzy result that points at an AniList entry already used by another card appears as a **Possible duplicate** review above the Library grid instead. Choose **Review merge** to compare the cards and pick which one to keep, or **Not duplicates** to dismiss that suggestion permanently. Entries with conflicting explicit season numbers are left alone rather than merged or suggested.
-
 Open a title and use **Delete Entry** in its header to remove a mistakenly tracked show outright. This deletes every episode of that title along with their sessions, subtitle lines, rollups and cover art, drops the words and kanji that were only seen there, and removes the card from the Library grid. Individual episodes and sessions can still be deleted on their own from the episode list and session rows. Entry deletion is refused while that title is the one currently playing.

+- It launches its own window under XWayland (it sets `--ozone-platform=x11`).
 - Every mpv it launches (via the `subminer` launcher, Jellyfin, or YouTube) is pinned to XWayland too - Wayland environment hints are stripped and an X11 GPU context (`--gpu-context=x11vk,x11egl,x11`) is applied. Only the window context is overridden; your `vo`/`gpu-api` and user shaders are left alone.
+- Fractional and mixed-monitor display scaling is handled per screen when SubMiner maps XWayland mpv coordinates to the overlay.
 - While mpv is windowed, the overlay is a managed X11 window owned by the tracked mpv window (`WM_TRANSIENT_FOR`), so it stays above mpv while other foreground X11/Xwayland apps can still cover both windows.
 - While tracked mpv is fullscreen, SubMiner swaps the visible overlay to a focusable-false X11 override-redirect window. That path can stay above the active fullscreen mpv window without requiring a KDE/KWin-specific rule, and SubMiner hides/releases it when mpv is no longer the active X11/Xwayland window.
 - The visible overlay is shown inactive on Linux, so normal hover should not steal keyboard focus from mpv.

 A cue parser extracts both timing and text content from subtitle files for prefetching.
 
 **Parsed cue structure:**
+
 ```typescript
 interface SubtitleCue {
-  startTime: number;  // seconds
-  endTime: number;    // seconds
-  text: string;       // raw subtitle text
+  startTime: number; // seconds
+  endTime: number; // seconds
+  text: string; // plain text, decoded from the source format
 }
 ```
 
 **Supported formats:**
+
 - SRT/VTT: Regex-based parsing of timing lines + text content between timing blocks.
-- ASS: Parse `[Events]` section, extract `Dialogue:` lines, split on the first 9 commas only (ASS v4+ has 10 fields; the last field is Text which can itself contain commas). Strip ASS override tags (`{\...}`) from the text before storing.
-  ASS text fields contain inline override tags like `{\b1}`, `{\an8}`, `{\fad(200,300)}`. The cue parser strips these during extraction so the tokenizer receives clean text.
+- ASS: Parse `[Events]` section, extract `Dialogue:` lines, read the field order from the `Format:` row, and take everything after the Text field index as the text (Text can itself contain commas).
+
+**ASS decoding.** The parser is where ASS text is decoded, once, via `assToPlainText()` in `src/core/services/ass-text.ts`. That decoder mirrors mpv's `ass_to_plaintext` so a cue read from a file reads identically to the same line arriving live on `sub-text`: `{...}` override blocks are markup, `\pN … \p0` vector drawing runs are dropped rather than shown as text, `\N`/`\n`/`\h` are the only escapes (`\{`, `\}` and `\\` are not), and an unclosed `{` is rendered verbatim. Every layer downstream — renderer, timing tracker, tokenizer, tokenization cache keys — receives plain text and uses `normalizePlainSubtitleText()` for whitespace only, so nothing decodes the same string twice and one authored line always maps to one cache key.
+
+**Duplicate collapsing.** Typeset scripts emit one `Dialogue:` event per animation frame, plus layered copies of the same line. The parser collapses identical text over an identical span unconditionally, and collapses contiguous same-text runs of at least three events when the run looks like an animation. For ASS that means shared style and actor plus authoring evidence: a temporal tag (`\t`, `\move`, `\k`/`\kf`/`\ko`/`\K`, or anything wrapped in `\t(...)`), an animated `Effect` column (`Karaoke`, `Banner`, `Scroll`), or override values that change across the run. Static tags shared by every event (`\pos`, an identical `\clip`) are not evidence. SRT/VTT carry no such metadata, so there collapsing needs at least five contiguous events all under 0.1s — the frame timing left behind by ASS-to-SRT conversion. The parser keeps this authoring metadata (style, actor, layer, `Effect`, parsed override commands, source order) private; `parseSubtitleCues()` returns only `SubtitleCue`.

+ *   assToPlainText()             raw ASS event text -> plain text. Ingestion only.
+ *   normalizePlainSubtitleText() already-decoded text -> display/lookup form.
+ *
+ * Subtitle text is decoded from ASS exactly once, at the point it enters the app: the
+ * file cue parser does it for sidecar/embedded scripts, and mpv does it for live text
+ * (`sub-text` is already run through mpv's own `ass_to_plaintext`). Everything
+ * downstream -- renderer, timing tracker, tokenizer, tokenization cache keys -- gets
+ * plain text and only normalizes whitespace, so no layer decodes the same string twice.
+ *
+ * assToPlainText mirrors mpv's `ass_to_plaintext` rather than inventing its own rules,
+ * so a cue parsed from a file reads the same as the same line arriving live:
+ *   - `{...}` override blocks are markup
+ *   - `\pN ... \p0` runs are vector paths, not dialogue
+ *   - `\N`, `\n` and `\h` are the only escapes; `\{`, `\}` and `\\` are NOT escapes,
+ *     so `\{注\}` decodes to a lone backslash exactly as mpv renders it
+ *   - an unclosed `{` is rendered verbatim instead of swallowing the rest of the line
+ * Because the decoder never emits an escape or a closed brace, running it twice is a
+ * no-op -- but downstream code should still use normalizePlainSubtitleText.
