 # Changelog
 
+## v0.11.2 (2026-04-07)
+
+### Changed
+- Launcher: Replaced the launcher-only fullscreen toggle with `mpv.launchMode` so SubMiner-managed mpv playback can start in normal, maximized, or fullscreen mode.
+
+### Fixed
+- Launcher: Fixed launcher-managed mpv spawning to force an explicit X11 GPU path when Wayland trackers are unavailable.
+- Launcher: Local playback now promotes a single unlabeled external subtitle sidecar to the primary slot instead of leaving mpv's embedded English auto-selection in place.
+- Release: Fixed Linux AppImage startup packaging so Chromium child relaunches can resolve the bundled `libffmpeg.so` instead of crash-looping on startup.
+
+## v0.11.1 (2026-04-04)
+
+### Fixed
+- Release: Linux packaged builds now expose the canonical `SubMiner` app identity to Electron's startup metadata so native Wayland compositors stop reporting the window class/app-id as lowercase `subminer`.
+- Linux: Linux now restores the runtime options, Jimaku, and Subsync shortcuts after the Electron 39 regression by routing those actions through the overlay's mpv/IPC shortcut path.

-## How It Works
-
-SubMiner runs as an invisible Electron overlay on top of mpv. Subtitles render as an interactive layer. Move your cursor over any word and trigger a [Yomitan](https://github.com/yomidevs/yomitan) lookup. Press one key to snapshot the sentence, audio, and screenshot into Anki via AnkiConnect.
-
-First-run setup requires the mpv plugin before it can finish. On Windows, the optional `SubMiner mpv` shortcut created during setup is the recommended playback entry point because it launches `mpv` with SubMiner's defaults directly, so you do not need an `mpv.conf` profile just to use it.

+<!-- SECTION:PLAN:BEGIN -->
+1. Add a focused packaging/runtime regression test that reads the packaged app metadata source and asserts the Linux Electron bootstrap-visible fields resolve to canonical `SubMiner` / `SubMiner.desktop`.
+2. Run the targeted test first to capture the failing pre-fix state.
+3. Update top-level package metadata in `package.json` with the canonical Electron runtime-facing fields needed for Linux bootstrap.
+4. Re-run the targeted test and a lightweight packaging validation to confirm the packaged metadata now stays canonical.
+5. Record verification notes and complete the task if all acceptance criteria pass.
+<!-- SECTION:PLAN:END -->
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:BEGIN -->
+Added a regression in `src/release-workflow.test.ts` asserting top-level `productName` and `desktopName` stay canonical for Linux Electron runtime bootstrap. Verified the new test failed before the fix because both fields were missing from top-level package metadata.
+
+Updated top-level `package.json` metadata with `productName: SubMiner` and `desktopName: SubMiner.desktop` so packaged `app.asar` exposes the canonical Linux startup identity Electron reads before app code runs.
+
+Verification passed with `bun test src/release-workflow.test.ts`, `bun run build && ./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder --linux dir --publish never`, packaged `release/linux-unpacked/resources/app.asar` inspection showing `{ name: subminer, productName: SubMiner, desktopName: SubMiner.desktop }`, and `bun run changelog:lint`.
+
+Ran the full default handoff gate after the targeted/package verification: `bun run typecheck`, `bun run test:fast`, `bun run test:env`, and `bun run test:smoke:dist` all passed.
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:END -->
+
+## Final Summary
+
+<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
+Restored canonical Linux/Wayland app identity metadata by adding top-level Electron runtime fields to `package.json`: `productName: SubMiner` and `desktopName: SubMiner.desktop`. This fixes the packaged app metadata Electron reads before user code runs, so native Wayland compositors no longer need to derive the app-id/class from the lowercase npm package name alone.
+
+Added a regression test in `src/release-workflow.test.ts` that asserts the runtime-visible top-level metadata stays canonical. The new test was run first and failed before the fix because `productName` was missing, then passed after the metadata update.
+
+Verification: `bun test src/release-workflow.test.ts`; `bun run build && ./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder --linux dir --publish never`; inspected `release/linux-unpacked/resources/app.asar` and confirmed `productName: SubMiner` plus `desktopName: SubMiner.desktop`; `bun run changelog:lint`.

+2. Add tests for IPC command dispatch and any keybinding/session-help metadata affected by the new special command.
+3. Route Linux modal-opening shortcuts through the working mpv/IPC command path instead of depending on Electron globalShortcut delivery for those actions.
+4. Re-run targeted tests, then the handoff verification gate, and update the changelog/task summary to reflect the final root cause and fix.
+<!-- SECTION:PLAN:END -->
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:BEGIN -->
+User approved plan; proceeding with test-first implementation.
+
+Root cause: Linux startup unconditionally enabled Electron's GlobalShortcutsPortal path, so Electron 39 X11 sessions were routed through the portal-backed globalShortcut path even though that path should only be used for Wayland-style launches. The affected runtime-options, Jimaku, and Subsync actions all depend on that shortcut path, while renderer-driven modals did not regress.
+
+User retested after the portal gating fix; issue persists. Updating investigation scope from portal selection alone to Linux overlay shortcut delivery/registration under Electron 39.
+
+Revised fix path: Linux renderer now matches configured overlay shortcuts for runtime options, subsync, and Jimaku locally, then dispatches the existing mpv/IPC special-command route instead of depending on Electron globalShortcut delivery.
+
+Added Jimaku mpv special command plumbing through IPC/runtime deps and exposed an overlay-runtime helper for opening the Jimaku modal from that IPC path.

+
+Fixed the Linux shortcut changelog fragment metadata so changelog lint now passes and the previously failing CI cause is addressed locally.
+
+Release checks run: bun run changelog:lint, bun run changelog:check --version 0.11.1, bun run verify:config-example, bun run typecheck, bun run test:fast, bun run test:env, bun run build. All passed except changelog:check, which is expected until pending fragments are built into CHANGELOG.md/release/release-notes.md.
+
+Current release blocker: pending changelog fragments /changes/2026-04-04-linux-app-id-metadata.md and /changes/2026-04-04-linux-shortcut-portal-regression.md still need bun run changelog:build --version 0.11.1 --date 2026-04-04 before tagging.
+
+Reopened to complete the remaining release-prep work: generate changelog/release notes artifacts, rerun the documented release gate, and confirm ready-for-tagging status.
+
+Completed the remaining release-prep step with `bun run changelog:build --version 0.11.1 --date 2026-04-04`, which prepended `CHANGELOG.md`, generated `release/release-notes.md`, and removed the two pending `changes/*.md` fragments.
+
+Reran the release gate after changelog generation: `bun run changelog:check --version 0.11.1`, `bun run verify:config-example`, `bun run typecheck`, `bun run test:fast`, `bun run test:env`, and `bun run build`; all passed.
+
+Extra confidence checks also passed: `bun run changelog:lint`, `bun run test:smoke:dist`, and `gh run list --workflow CI --limit 5` shows the two latest `main` CI runs succeeded on 2026-04-04 after the earlier pre-fix failure.
+
+`release/release-notes.md` is intentionally generated under the gitignored `release/` directory, so readiness evidence in git status is `CHANGELOG.md` plus deletion of the released change fragments.
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:END -->
+
+## Final Summary
+
+<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
+Finished the 0.11.1 release prep by generating the changelog artifacts from the pending Linux fix fragments and re-running the full documented local release gate. `CHANGELOG.md` now contains the `v0.11.1 (2026-04-04)` section, `release/release-notes.md` was regenerated in the ignored `release/` directory, and the released `changes/2026-04-04-linux-app-id-metadata.md` plus `changes/2026-04-04-linux-shortcut-portal-regression.md` fragments were removed.
+
+Verification results: `bun run changelog:check --version 0.11.1`, `bun run verify:config-example`, `bun run typecheck`, `bun run test:fast`, `bun run test:env`, `bun run build`, `bun run changelog:lint`, and `bun run test:smoke:dist` all passed locally. Remote CI also looks green for the latest release-prep head: `gh run list --workflow CI --limit 5` showed successful `main` runs for `chore: prep 0.11.1 release` and `Change demo image link to GitHub asset` on 2026-04-04, with the earlier `fix: restore linux modal shortcuts` failure already superseded by later green runs.
+
+Remaining manual release step: commit the generated release-prep changes if desired, tag `v0.11.1`, and push the commit plus tag when ready.

+## Description
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
+Fix the Linux AppImage packaging so Chromium child processes relaunched from the bundled binary can resolve the packaged libffmpeg shared library and SubMiner starts cleanly instead of crash-looping on network-service restarts.
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
+- [x] #1 Linux AppImage packaging ensures bundled Chromium child processes can resolve the packaged libffmpeg shared library during relaunch.
+- [x] #2 Regression coverage exercises the Linux packaging/build configuration that provides the AppImage shared-library path.
+- [x] #3 Release notes/changelog reflect the Linux AppImage startup fix.
+<!-- AC:END -->
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+<!-- SECTION:PLAN:BEGIN -->
+1. Add focused regression tests for Linux release packaging that assert the build config invokes an `afterPack` hook and that the hook stages bundled `libffmpeg.so` into `usr/lib` for AppImage runtime lookup.
+2. Implement a small electron-builder `afterPack` hook that runs only for Linux, copies `libffmpeg.so` from the packaged app root into `usr/lib`, and no-ops when the source library is absent.
+3. Wire the hook into `package.json` build config and add a changelog fragment for the Linux AppImage startup fix.
+4. Run the focused test lane first, then the default handoff gate because the change touches release-sensitive packaging behavior.
+<!-- SECTION:PLAN:END -->
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:BEGIN -->
+Chose a repo-local electron-builder `afterPack` hook instead of patching/forking `electron-builder`. The hook copies bundled `libffmpeg.so` from the packaged Linux app root into `usr/lib`, matching the AppImage runtime's existing `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` search path.
+
+Added regression coverage for both config wiring (`src/release-workflow.test.ts`) and the hook behavior (`scripts/electron-builder-after-pack.test.ts`), then wired the new script test into `test:fast` so the maintained lane keeps exercising the fix.
+
+Verification passed: `bun test scripts/electron-builder-after-pack.test.ts src/release-workflow.test.ts`, `bun run typecheck`, `bun run test:fast`, `bun run test:env`, `bun run build`, `bun run test:smoke:dist`.
+
+Addressed PR #45 CodeRabbit review thread: Linux `afterPack` staging now hard-fails when `libffmpeg.so` is missing instead of silently no-oping. Updated focused hook tests to assert the new failure contract and that `afterPack` propagates Linux staging errors.
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:END -->
+
+## Final Summary
+
+<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
+Added a shared electron-builder `afterPack` hook at `scripts/electron-builder-after-pack.cjs` and wired it into `package.json` so Linux packaging stages the bundled `libffmpeg.so` into `usr/lib` inside the packaged app. This keeps Chromium child relaunches compatible with the AppImage runtime's existing `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` layout without forking or patching upstream `electron-builder`.
+
+Regression coverage now checks both the packaging config and the hook behavior: `src/release-workflow.test.ts` asserts the hook stays wired into release config, and `scripts/electron-builder-after-pack.test.ts` verifies Linux copies `libffmpeg.so` into `usr/lib` while non-Linux and missing-library cases no-op safely. The new script test is included in `test:fast`, and a changelog fragment was added under `changes/fix-appimage-libffmpeg-path.md`.
+
+Verification passed with `bun test scripts/electron-builder-after-pack.test.ts src/release-workflow.test.ts`, `bun run typecheck`, `bun run test:fast`, `bun run test:env`, `bun run build`, and `bun run test:smoke:dist`.
+
+Follow-up review fix on PR #45: Linux packaging now throws when `libffmpeg.so` is missing from the packaged app root, preventing silent shipment of a broken AppImage. Focused regression coverage was updated so the missing-library case rejects and `afterPack` propagates the failure.

+User approved scope: force launcher-managed mpv to X11 for explicit `--backend=x11` and for unsupported Linux Wayland auto-detect fallback; preserve Hyprland/Sway behavior.
+
+Implemented launcher-side `buildMpvEnv` to strip Wayland hints and force X11/XWayland for launcher-managed mpv when `--backend=x11`, and for Linux auto mode on unsupported Wayland desktops with an X11 display available. Wired both normal mpv launches and idle detached mpv launches through the helper.
+
+Verification: `bun test launcher/mpv.test.ts --test-name-pattern "buildMpvEnv"` passed; `bun run tsc --noEmit` passed. A broader `bun test launcher/mpv.test.ts` run still hits a pre-existing sandbox-specific failure in `launchAppCommandDetached handles child process spawn errors` because this environment cannot write the default app log path under `/home/sudacode/.config/SubMiner/logs`.
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:END -->
+
+## Final Summary
+
+<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
+Updated the launcher so mpv gets an X11/XWayland-oriented spawn environment whenever the user explicitly requests `--backend=x11`, and when Linux auto mode is running under an unsupported Wayland desktop that still exposes an X11 display. The new helper reuses the launcher child-process base environment, strips Wayland-specific hints (`WAYLAND_DISPLAY`, Hyprland/Sway markers), and flips `XDG_SESSION_TYPE` to `x11` only for those fallback cases. Both foreground mpv launches and detached idle mpv launches now use the same helper so overlay-tracked playback stays consistent.
+
+Added focused regression coverage in `launcher/mpv.test.ts` for three cases: explicit `x11` forcing, unsupported Wayland auto fallback (for example KDE Plasma Wayland), and preserving native Wayland env for supported Hyprland/Sway auto backends. Verification completed with `bun test launcher/mpv.test.ts --test-name-pattern "buildMpvEnv"` and `bun run tsc --noEmit`. A broader launcher mpv test run still shows an unrelated sandbox write failure for the default app log path in this environment.

+Investigation: reproduced the leak locally. The source is launcher/mpv.test.ts Windows findAppBinary tests that combine a POSIX mkdtemp base with path.win32.join(...), creating literal backslash-named entries like \\tmp\\subminer-test-win-dir-* in the repo root. Existing cleanup only removes the POSIX /tmp base directory.
+
+User approved implementation plan on 2026-04-05.
+
+Implemented in launcher/mpv.test.ts by replacing the leaky Windows PATH/install-directory helpers with pure fs stubs (access/exists/stat) and fixed Windows path strings instead of creating real path.win32 filesystem entries on POSIX. Added a regression test that snapshots repo-root \\tmp\\subminer-test-win-* artifacts before/after running the Windows cases and asserts no new entries are created.
+
+Verification: `bun test launcher/mpv.test.ts --test-name-pattern 'findAppBinary Windows cases do not leak backslash temp artifacts on POSIX|findAppBinary resolves SubMiner.exe on PATH on Windows|findAppBinary resolves a Windows install directory to SubMiner.exe'` passed (3/3). `bun test launcher/mpv.test.ts` still has one unrelated pre-existing sandbox failure in `launchAppCommandDetached handles child process spawn errors` because the test opens `~/.config/SubMiner/logs/app-2026-04-05.log` and hits `EROFS` in this environment.
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:END -->
+
+## Final Summary
+
+<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
+Reworked the Windows `findAppBinary` tests in `launcher/mpv.test.ts` so they no longer create real backslash-named temp files on POSIX hosts. The PATH and install-directory cases now use synthetic Windows path strings plus `fs.accessSync` / `fs.existsSync` / `fs.statSync` stubs to exercise the same resolver behavior without writing `\\tmp\\subminer-test-win-*` entries into the repository root.
+
+Added a POSIX regression test that snapshots existing repo-root `\\tmp\\subminer-test-win-*` artifacts, runs the Windows path-resolution cases, and asserts the artifact set is unchanged. This catches future regressions where a Windows-path test accidentally writes literal backslash paths on Linux/macOS.

+Added explicit mpv backend args for launcher-managed X11 fallback mode.

This preserves supported Hyprland/Sway native Wayland flows and makes the X11 fallback more explicit for mpv's GPU initialization path.
+
+Wired the new X11 GPU-context args into both the normal playback launch path and the detached idle mpv launch path. Added focused regression coverage for explicit `x11`, Plasma-style unsupported Wayland auto fallback, and Hyprland/Sway no-regression behavior.

 # Changelog
 
+## v0.11.2 (2026-04-07)
+
+**Changed**
+- Launcher: Replaced the launcher-only fullscreen toggle with `mpv.launchMode` so SubMiner-managed mpv playback can start in normal, maximized, or fullscreen mode.
+
+**Fixed**
+- Launcher: Fixed launcher-managed mpv spawning to force an explicit X11 GPU path when Wayland trackers are unavailable.
+- Launcher: Local playback now promotes a single unlabeled external subtitle sidecar to the primary slot instead of leaving mpv's embedded English auto-selection in place.
+- Release: Fixed Linux AppImage startup packaging so Chromium child relaunches can resolve the bundled `libffmpeg.so` instead of crash-looping on startup.
+
+## v0.11.1 (2026-04-04)
+
+**Fixed**
+- Release: Linux packaged builds now expose the canonical `SubMiner` app identity to Electron's startup metadata so native Wayland compositors stop reporting the window class/app-id as lowercase `subminer`.
+- Linux: Linux now restores the runtime options, Jimaku, and Subsync shortcuts after the Electron 39 regression by routing those actions through the overlay's mpv/IPC shortcut path.
+
 ## v0.11.0 (2026-04-03)
-- Added a playlist browser overlay modal for browsing sibling video files and the live mpv queue during playback, with a default `Ctrl+Alt+P` keybinding.
-- Made mpv plugin installation mandatory in first-run setup (removed skip path); Finish stays disabled until the plugin is installed.
-- Fixed the Windows `SubMiner mpv` shortcut to launch mpv with required default args directly instead of requiring an `mpv.conf` profile named `subminer`.
-- Fixed the Windows mpv idle launch so loading a video after opening the shortcut keeps mpv in the SubMiner-managed session and auto-starts the overlay.
-- Added a blank-by-default `mpv.executablePath` config override for Windows playback when mpv is not on `PATH`, exposed in first-run setup.
-- Fixed Kiku duplicate grouping to reuse duplicate note IDs from both sentence-card creation and Yomitan popup mining, with background card addition and proper merge-modal sequencing.
-- Fixed configured subtitle-jump keybindings to keep playback paused when invoked from a paused state.
-- Fixed managed local subtitle auto-selection to reuse configured language priorities instead of staying on mpv's initial `sid=auto` guess.
-- Kept tracked macOS visible overlays click-through by default so subtitle sidebar passthrough works immediately.
-- Stopped AniList post-watch from sending duplicate progress updates when already satisfied by a retry item.
-- Kept integrated `--start --texthooker` launches on the full app-ready startup path.
-- Honored `SUBMINER_YTDLP_BIN` consistently across all YouTube flows (playback URL resolution, track probing, subtitle downloads, metadata probing).
-- Added `windows` as a recognized launcher backend option and auto-detection target.
-- Added a dedicated Subtitle Sidebar guide to the docs site with links from homepage and configuration docs.
 
-## v0.10.0 (2026-03-29)
+**Added**
-- Fixed stats startup so the immersion tracker can run when `Bun.serve` is unavailable.
+- Overlay: Added a playlist browser overlay modal for browsing sibling video files and the live mpv queue during playback.
-- Added a Node `http` fallback for Electron/runtime paths that do not expose Bun, so stats keeps working there too.
+- Overlay: Added the default `Ctrl+Alt+P` keybinding to open the playlist browser and manage queue order without leaving playback.
-- Updated Discord Rich Presence to the maintained `@xhayper/discord-rpc` wrapper.
-- Fixed the macOS visible-overlay toggle path so manual hides stay hidden and the plugin uses the explicit visible-overlay toggle command.
-- Restored macOS mpv passthrough while the overlay subtitle sidebar is open so clicks outside the sidebar can refocus mpv and keep native keybindings working.
 
-## v0.9.3 (2026-03-25)
+**Changed**
-- Moved YouTube primary subtitle language defaults to `youtube.primarySubLanguages`.
+- Setup: Made mpv plugin installation mandatory in the first-run setup flow, removed the skip path, and kept Finish disabled until the plugin is installed.
-- Removed the placeholder YouTube subtitle retime step; downloaded primary subtitle tracks are now used directly.
+- Setup: Clarified that the mpv plugin requirement applies to setup on every platform, while the optional `SubMiner mpv` shortcut remains the recommended Windows playback entry point.
-- Removed the old internal YouTube retime helper and its tests.
+- Launcher: Streamlined Windows setup and config by making the `SubMiner mpv` shortcut self-contained and keeping `mpv.executablePath` as the simple fallback when `mpv.exe` is not on `PATH`.
-- Clarified optional `alass` / `ffsubsync` subtitle-sync setup and fallback behavior in the docs.
+- Overlay: Changed fresh-install default config to keep texthooker and stats from auto-opening browser tabs.
-- Removed the legacy `youtubeSubgen.primarySubLanguages` config path from generated config and docs.
+- Overlay: Changed fresh-install default config to enable AnkiConnect, Discord Rich Presence, subtitle-sidebar, and Yomitan-popup auto-pause by default, while disabling controller input by default.
 
-## v0.9.2 (2026-03-25)
+**Fixed**
-- Fixed overlay pointer tracking so Windows click-through toggles immediately when the cursor enters or leaves subtitle regions.
+- Main: Resolve the YouTube playback socket path lazily so startup honors CLI and config overrides.
-- Fixed Windows overlay window tracking on scaled displays by converting native tracked window bounds to Electron DIP coordinates.
+- Main: Add regression coverage for the lazy socket-path lookup during Windows mpv startup.
-- Fixed Windows direct `--youtube-play` startup so MPV boots reliably, stays paused until the app-owned subtitle flow is ready, and reuses an already-running SubMiner instance.
+- Main: Keep integrated `--start --texthooker` launches on the full app-ready startup path so the texthooker page and websocket servers start together during normal playback startup.
-- Fixed standalone Windows `--youtube-play` sessions so closing MPV fully exits SubMiner instead of leaving hidden overlay windows behind.
+- Main: Stop the mpv/plugin auto-start flow from spawning a separate standalone texthooker helper during normal `subminer <video>` launches.
-- Fixed `subminer <youtube-url>` on Linux so the YouTube playback flow waits for Yomitan to load before creating the overlay window.
+- Overlay: Keep tracked macOS visible overlays click-through by default so subtitle sidebar passthrough works immediately without requiring a subtitle hover cycle first.
+- Overlay: Add regression coverage for the macOS visible-overlay passthrough default.
+- Anilist: Stop AniList post-watch from sending a second progress update when the current episode was already satisfied by a ready retry item in the same watch-completion pass.
+- Anilist: Add regression coverage for the retry-queue plus live-update duplicate path.
+- Overlay: Fixed Kiku duplicate grouping to reuse duplicate note IDs from both generic sentence-card creation and Yomitan popup mining instead of running extra duplicate scans after add.
+- Overlay: Fixed the Yomitan popup mining flow to add cards in the background while keeping the stock popup progress feedback, then pause playback and close the lookup popup before the Kiku merge modal opens.
+- Overlay: Fixed configured subtitle-jump keybindings so backward and forward subtitle seeks keep playback paused when invoked from a paused state.
+- Launcher: Fixed the Windows `SubMiner mpv` shortcut and `SubMiner.exe --launch-mpv` flow to launch mpv with SubMiner's required default args directly instead of requiring an `mpv.conf` profile named `subminer`.
+- Launcher: Clarified the Windows install and usage docs so the shortcut path is documented as self-contained, while the optional `subminer` mpv profile remains available for manual mpv launches.
+- Launcher: Hardened the first-run setup blocker copy and stale custom-scheme handling so setup messages stay aligned with config, plugin, and dictionary readiness.
+- Launcher: Fixed the Windows `SubMiner mpv` shortcut idle launch so loading a video after opening the shortcut keeps mpv in the expected SubMiner-managed session, auto-starts the overlay, and re-arms subtitle auto-selection for the newly opened file.
+- Launcher: Removed the redundant `.` subtitle search path from the Windows shortcut launch args and deduped repeated subtitle source tracks in the manual sync picker so duplicate external subtitle entries no longer appear from the shortcut path.
+- Playback: Fixed managed local playback so duplicate startup-ready retries no longer unpause media after a later manual pause on the same file.
+- Playback: Fixed managed local subtitle auto-selection so local files reuse configured primary and secondary subtitle language priorities instead of staying on mpv's initial `sid=auto` guess.
+- Launcher: Added a blank-by-default `mpv.executablePath` override for Windows playback so users can point SubMiner at `mpv.exe` when it is not on `PATH`.
+- Launcher: Kept the Windows shortcut and `--launch-mpv` flow simple by preserving PATH auto-discovery as the default and exposing the override in first-run setup.
+- Launcher: Added `windows` as a recognized launcher backend option and auto-detection target on Windows.
+- Launcher: Honored `SUBMINER_YTDLP_BIN` consistently across YouTube playback URL resolution, track probing, subtitle downloads, and metadata probing.
+- Launcher: Kept the first-run setup window from navigating away on unexpected URLs.
+- Launcher: Made Windows mpv honor an explicitly configured executable path instead of silently falling back to PATH.
+- Launcher: Hardened `--launch-mpv` parsing and Windows binary resolution so valueless flags do not swallow media targets and symlinked launcher installs do not short-circuit PATH lookup.
+- Launcher: Fixed first-run setup blocking playback on macOS when the SubMiner mpv plugin was already installed at the canonical `~/.config/mpv` path.
+- Launcher: Fixed setup gating so stale cancelled setup state no longer prevents playback when the canonical mpv plugin entrypoint already exists.
+- Playback: Prevented stale async playlist-browser subtitle rearm callbacks from overriding newer subtitle selections during rapid file changes.
 
-## v0.9.1 (2026-03-24)
+**Docs**
-- Reduced packaged release size by excluding duplicate `extraResources` payload and pruning docs, tests, sourcemaps, and other source-only files from Electron bundles.
+- Docs Site: Added a dedicated Subtitle Sidebar guide and linked it from the homepage and configuration docs.
-- Restored controller navigation and lookup/mining controls while the subtitle sidebar is open, while keeping true modal dialogs blocking controller actions.
+- Docs Site: Linked Jimaku integration from the homepage to its dedicated docs page.
-- Fixed subtitle annotation clearing so explanatory contrast endings like `んですけど` are excluded consistently across the shared tokenizer filter and annotation stage.
+- Docs Site: Refreshed docs-site theme tokens and hover/selection styling for the updated pages.
 
-## v0.9.0 (2026-03-23)
+**Internal**
-- Added an app-owned YouTube subtitle flow with absPlayer-style timedtext parsing that auto-loads the default primary subtitle plus a best-effort secondary at startup and resumes once the primary is ready.
+- Release: Retried AUR clone and push operations in the tagged release workflow.
-- Added a manual YouTube subtitle picker on `Ctrl+Alt+C` so subtitle selection can be retried on demand during active YouTube playback.
+- Release: Kept GitHub Releases green when AUR publish flakes and needs manual follow-up.
-- Added yt-dlp metadata probing so YouTube playback and immersion tracking record canonical video title and channel metadata.
+- Release: Updated Electron to 39.8.6 and pinned patched transitive build dependencies to clear the reported high-severity audit findings.
-- Disabled conflicting mpv native subtitle auto-selection for the app-owned flow so injected explicit tracks stay authoritative.
-- Added OSD status updates covering YouTube playback startup, subtitle acquisition, and subtitle loading.
-- Stopped forcing `--ytdl-raw-options=` before user-provided mpv options so existing YouTube cookie integrations are preserved.
-- Improved sidebar startup/resume behavior, scroll handling, and overlay/sidebar subtitle synchronization.
-- Stats Library tab now shows YouTube video title, channel name, and thumbnail for YouTube media entries.
-- Added a new WebSocket / Texthooker API integration guide covering payload formats, custom client patterns, and mpv plugin automation.
-- Fixed Anki media mining for mpv YouTube streams so audio and screenshot capture work correctly during YouTube playback sessions.
-- Fixed YouTube media path handling in immersion tracking so YouTube sessions record correct media references and AniList state transitions do not fire for YouTube media.
-- Reused existing authoritative YouTube subtitle tracks when present, fell back only for missing sides, and kept native mpv secondary subtitle rendering hidden so the overlay remains the visible secondary subtitle surface.
 
-## v0.8.0 (2026-03-22)
+## Previous Versions
-- Added a configurable subtitle sidebar feature (`subtitleSidebar`) with overlay/embedded rendering, click-to-seek cue list, and hot-reloadable visibility and behavior controls.
-- Added a rendered sidebar modal with cue list display, click-to-seek, active-cue highlighting, and embedded layout support.
-- Added sidebar snapshot plumbing between main and renderer for overlay/sidebar synchronization.
-- Added sidebar configuration options for visibility and behavior (enabled, layout, toggle key, autoOpen, pauseOnHover, autoScroll) plus typography and sizing controls.
-- Documented `subtitleSidebar` configuration and behavior in user-facing docs (configuration.md, shortcuts.md, config.example.jsonc).
-- Updated subtitle prefetch/rendering flow to keep overlay and sidebar state in sync through media transitions.
-- Kept sidebar cue tracking stable across playback transitions and timing edge cases.
-- Fixed sidebar startup/resume positioning to jump directly to the first resolved active cue.

-## v0.7.0 (2026-03-19)
+<details>
-- Added a full local immersion dashboard release line with Overview, Library, Trends, Vocabulary, and Sessions drill-down views backed by SQLite tracking data.
+<summary>v0.10.x</summary>
-- Added browser-first stats workflows: `subminer stats`, background stats daemon controls (`-b` / `-s`), stats cleanup, and dashboard-side mining actions with media enrichment.
-- Improved stats accuracy and scale handling with Yomitan token counts, full session timelines, known-word timeline fixes, cross-media vocabulary fixes, and clearer session charts.
-- Improved overlay/runtime stability with quieter macOS fullscreen recovery, reduced repeated loading OSD popups, and better frequency/noise handling for subtitle annotations.
-- Added launcher mpv-args passthrough plus Linux plugin wrapper-name fallback for packaged installs.
-- Added a hover-revealed ↗ button on Sessions tab rows to navigate directly to the anime media-detail view, with correct "Back to Sessions" back-navigation.
-- Excluded auxiliary-stem `そうだ` grammar tails (MeCab POS3 `助動詞語幹`) from subtitle annotation metadata so frequency, JLPT, and N+1 styling no longer bleed onto grammar-tail tokens.
 
-## v0.6.5 (2026-03-15)
+<h2>v0.10.0 (2026-03-29)</h2>
-- Seeded the AUR checkout with the repo `.SRCINFO` template before rewriting metadata so tagged releases do not depend on prior AUR state.
 
-## v0.6.4 (2026-03-15)
+**Changed**
-- Reworked AUR metadata generation to update `.SRCINFO` directly instead of depending on runner `makepkg`, fixing tagged release publishing for `subminer-bin`.
+- Integrations: Replaced the deprecated Discord Rich Presence wrapper with the maintained `@xhayper/discord-rpc` package.
 
-## v0.6.3 (2026-03-15)
+**Fixed**
-- Expanded `Alt+C` into an inline controller config/remap flow with preferred-controller saving and per-action learn mode for buttons, triggers, and stick directions.
+- Stats: Fixed stats startup so the immersion tracker can run when `Bun.serve` is unavailable.
-- Automated `subminer-bin` AUR package updates from the tagged release workflow.
+- Stats: Stats server now falls back to a Node `http` listener in Electron/runtime paths that do not expose Bun.
+- Overlay: Fixed the macOS visible-overlay toggle path so manual hides stay hidden and the plugin uses the explicit visible-overlay toggle command.
+- Subtitle Sidebar: Restored macOS mpv passthrough while the overlay subtitle sidebar is open so clicks outside the sidebar can refocus mpv and keep native keybindings working.
 
-## v0.6.2 (2026-03-12)
+**Internal**
-- Added `yomitan.externalProfilePath` so SubMiner can reuse another Electron app's Yomitan profile in read-only mode.
+- Release: Added a maintained source coverage lane that shards Bun coverage one test file at a time and merges LCOV output into `coverage/test-src/lcov.info`.
-- Reused external Yomitan dictionaries/settings without writing back to that profile.
+- Release: CI and release quality-gate now upload the merged source-lane LCOV artifact for inspection.
-- Let launcher-managed playback honor external Yomitan config instead of forcing first-run setup.
+- Runtime: Extracted remaining inline runtime logic from `src/main.ts` into dedicated runtime modules and composer helpers.
-- Seeded `config.jsonc` even when the default config directory already exists.
+- Runtime: Added focused regression tests for the extracted runtime/composer boundaries.
-- Let first-run setup complete without internal dictionaries while external Yomitan is configured, then require an internal dictionary again only if that external profile is later removed.
+- Runtime: Updated task tracking notes to mark TASK-238.6 complete and confirm follow-on boot-phase split can be deferred.
+- Runtime: Split `src/main.ts` boot wiring into dedicated `src/main/boot/services.ts`, `src/main/boot/runtimes.ts`, and `src/main/boot/handlers.ts` modules.
+- Runtime: Added focused tests for the new boot-phase seams and kept the startup/typecheck/build verification lanes green.
+- Runtime: Updated internal architecture/task docs to record the boot-phase split and new ownership boundary.
 
-## v0.6.1 (2026-03-12)
+</details>
-- Added Chrome Gamepad API controller support for keyboard-only overlay mode.
-- Added configurable controller bindings for lookup, mining, popup navigation, Yomitan audio, mpv pause, and d-pad fallback navigation.
-- Added smooth, slower popup scrolling for controller navigation.
-- Expanded `Alt+C` into a controller config/remap modal with preferred-controller saving, inline learn mode, and kept `Alt+Shift+C` for raw input debugging.
-- Added a transient in-overlay controller-detected indicator when a controller is first found.
-- Fixed cleanup of stale keyboard-only token highlights when keyboard-only mode is disabled or when the Yomitan popup closes.
-- Added an enforced `verify:config-example` gate so checked-in example config artifacts cannot drift silently.
 
-## v0.5.6 (2026-03-10)
+<details>
-- Persisted merged character-dictionary MRU state as soon as a new retained set is built so revisits do not get dropped if later Yomitan import work fails.
+<summary>v0.9.x</summary>
-- Fixed early Electron startup writing config and user data under a lowercase `~/.config/subminer` path instead of canonical `~/.config/SubMiner`.
-- Kept JLPT underline colors stable during Yomitan hover and selection states, even when tokens also use known, N+1, name-match, or frequency styling.
 
-## v0.5.1 (2026-03-09)
+<h2>v0.9.3 (2026-03-25)</h2>
-- Removed the old YouTube subtitle-generation mode switch; YouTube playback now resolves subtitles before mpv starts.
-- Hardened YouTube AI subtitle fixing so fenced/text-only responses keep original cue timing.
-- Skipped AniSkip during URL/YouTube playback where anime metadata cannot be resolved reliably.
-- Kept the background SubMiner process warm across launcher-managed mpv exits so reconnects do not repeat startup pause/warmup work.
-- Fixed Windows single-instance reuse so overlay and video launches reuse the running background app instead of booting a second full app.
-- Hardened the Windows signing/release workflow with SignPath retry handling for signed `.exe` and `.zip` artifacts.
 
-## v0.5.0 (2026-03-08)
+**Changed**
-- Added the initial packaged Windows release.
+- Launcher: Moved YouTube primary subtitle language defaults to `youtube.primarySubLanguages`.
-- Added Windows-native mpv window tracking, launcher/runtime plumbing, and packaged helper assets.
+- Launcher: Removed the placeholder YouTube subtitle retime step and now uses downloaded primary subtitle tracks directly, so there is no fake path rewrite before playback/sidebar loading.
-- Improved close behavior so ending playback hides the visible overlay while the background app stays running.
+- YouTube: Removed the `src/core/services/youtube/retime` helper and its tests after retiring the internal retime strategy.
-- Limited the native overlay outline/debug frame to debug mode on Windows.
+- Docs: Clarified optional `alass` / `ffsubsync` subtitle-sync requirements and setup steps, including fallback behavior when sync tools are absent.
+- Launcher: Removed the old `youtubeSubgen.primarySubLanguages` config path from the generated config and docs.
+
+<h2>v0.9.2 (2026-03-25)</h2>
+
+**Fixed**
+- Overlay: Fixed overlay pointer tracking so Windows click-through toggles immediately when the cursor enters or leaves subtitle regions, without waiting for a later hover resync.
+- Overlay: Fixed Windows overlay window tracking on scaled displays by converting native tracked window bounds to Electron DIP coordinates before applying overlay bounds.
+- Launcher: Fixed Windows direct `--youtube-play` startup so MPV boots reliably, stays paused until the app-owned subtitle flow is ready, and reuses an already-running SubMiner instance when available.
+- Launcher: Fixed standalone Windows `--youtube-play` sessions so closing MPV fully exits SubMiner instead of leaving hidden overlay windows or a background process behind.
+- Overlay: Fixed `subminer <youtube-url>` on Linux so the YouTube playback flow waits for Yomitan to load before creating the overlay window, avoiding the broken lookup popup state that previously required a manual overlay refresh.
+
+<h2>v0.9.1 (2026-03-24)</h2>

+- Docs: Added a new WebSocket / Texthooker API and integration guide covering WebSocket payloads, custom client patterns, mpv plugin automation, and webhook-style relay examples. Linked from configuration and mining workflow docs for easier discovery.
+
+**Changed**
+- Launcher: Added an app-owned YouTube subtitle flow that pauses mpv, uses absPlayer-style YouTube timedtext parsing/conversion to download subtitle tracks, and injects them as external files before playback resumes.
+- Launcher: Changed YouTube subtitle startup to auto-load the best-available primary and secondary subtitle tracks at launch instead of forcing the picker modal first. Secondary subtitle failures no longer block playback resume.
+- Launcher: Added `Ctrl+Alt+C` as the default keybinding to manually open the YouTube subtitle picker during active YouTube playback.
+- Launcher: Added yt-dlp metadata probing so YouTube playback and immersion tracking record canonical video title and channel metadata.
+- Launcher: Stopped forcing `--ytdl-raw-options=` before user-provided mpv options so existing YouTube cookie integrations in user `--args` are no longer clobbered.
+- Launcher: Disabled mpv native YouTube subtitle auto-loading for the app-owned flow so injected external subtitle files remain authoritative.
+- Launcher: Added OSD status messages for YouTube playback startup, subtitle acquisition, and subtitle loading so the flow stays visible before and during the picker.
+- Subtitle Sidebar: Added startup-auto-open controls and resume positioning improvements so the sidebar jumps directly to the first resolved active cue.
+- Subtitle Sidebar: Improved subtitle prefetch and embedded overlay passthrough sync so sidebar and overlay subtitle states stay consistent across media transitions.
+- Subtitle Sidebar: Updated scroll handling, embedded layout styling, and active-cue visual behavior.
+- Stats: Stats Library tab now displays YouTube video title, channel name, and channel thumbnail for YouTube media entries, with retry logic to fill in metadata that arrives after initial load.
+
+**Fixed**
+- Launcher: Fixed Anki media mining for mpv YouTube streams by unwrapping the stream URL so audio and screenshot capture work correctly for YouTube playback sessions.
+- Immersion: Fixed YouTube media path handling in the immersion runtime and tracking so YouTube sessions record correct media references, AniList guessing skips YouTube URLs, and post-watch state transitions do not fire for YouTube media.
+- Launcher: Fixed startup-launched YouTube playback so primary subtitle overlay updates continue after auto-load completes.
+- Launcher: Fixed auto-loaded YouTube primary subtitles so parsed cues appear in the subtitle sidebar without needing a manual picker retry.
+- Launcher: Fixed the YouTube picker to guard against duplicate subtitle submissions and tightened YouTube URL detection so follow-up runtime flows only treat real YouTube hosts as YouTube playback.
+- Launcher: Fixed primary subtitle failure notifications being shown while app-owned YouTube subtitle probing and downloads are still in flight.
+- Launcher: Preserved existing authoritative YouTube subtitle tracks when available; downloaded tracks are used only to fill missing sides, and native mpv secondary subtitle rendering is hidden so the overlay remains the sole secondary display.

+
+**Added**
+- Immersion: Added Mine Word, Mine Sentence, and Mine Audio buttons to word detail example lines in the stats dashboard.
+- Immersion: Mine Word creates a full Yomitan card (definition, reading, pitch accent) via the hidden search page bridge, then enriches with sentence audio, screenshot, and metadata extracted from the source video.
+- Immersion: Mine Sentence and Mine Audio create cards directly with appropriate Lapis/Kiku flags, sentence highlighting, and media from the source file.
+- Immersion: Media generation (audio + image/AVIF) runs in parallel and respects all AnkiConnect config options.
+- Immersion: Added word exclusion list to the Vocabulary tab with localStorage persistence and a management modal.
+- Immersion: Fixed truncated readings in the frequency rank table (e.g. お前 now shows おまえ instead of まえ).
+- Immersion: Clicking a bar in the Top Repeated Words chart now opens the word detail panel.
+- Immersion: Secondary subtitle text is now stored alongside primary subtitle lines for use as translation when mining cards from the stats page.
+- Stats: Added `subminer stats -b` to start or reuse a dedicated background stats server without blocking normal SubMiner instances.
+- Stats: Added `subminer stats -s` to stop the dedicated background stats server without closing browser tabs.
+- Stats: Stats server startup now reuses a running background stats daemon instead of trying to bind a second local server in another SubMiner instance.
+- Launcher: Added launcher passthrough for `-a/--args` so mpv receives raw extra launch flags (`--fs`, `--ytdl-format`, custom audio/video settings, etc.) from the `subminer` command.
+- Launcher: Added `subminer stats` to launch the local stats dashboard, force-start the stats server on demand, and open the dashboard in your browser.
+- Launcher: Added `subminer stats cleanup` to backfill vocabulary metadata and prune stale or excluded immersion rows on demand.
+- Launcher: Added `stats.autoOpenBrowser` so browser launch after `subminer stats` can be enabled or disabled explicitly.
+- Immersion: Added a local stats dashboard for immersion tracking with Overview, Anime, Trends, Vocabulary, and Sessions views.
+- Immersion: Added anime progress, episode completion, Anki card links, and occurrence drill-down across the stats dashboard.
+- Immersion: Added richer session timelines with new-word activity, cumulative totals, and pause/seek/card event markers.
+- Immersion: Added completed-episodes and completed-anime totals to the Overview tracking snapshot.

+- Anki: Changed known-word cache settings to live under `ankiConnect.knownWords` instead of mixing them into `ankiConnect.nPlusOne`.
+- Anki: Kept legacy `ankiConnect.nPlusOne` known-word keys and older `ankiConnect.behavior.nPlusOne*` keys as deprecated compatibility fallbacks.
+- Stats: Added session deletion to the Sessions tab with the same confirmation prompt used by anime episode/session deletes, and removed all associated session rows from the stats database.
+- Immersion: Kept immersion tracking history by default while preserving daily/monthly rollup maintenance.
+- Immersion: Added exact lifetime summary reads for overview/anime/media stats so dashboard totals no longer depend on rescanning raw telemetry.
+- Immersion: Reduced tracker storage overhead by removing duplicated subtitle text from subtitle-line event payloads.
+- Immersion: Deduplicated episode cover-art blobs through a shared blob store and updated cover-art reads/writes to resolve shared images correctly.
+- Immersion: Added indexes for large-history session, telemetry, vocabulary, kanji, and cover-art queries to keep dashboard reads fast as the SQLite database grows.
+- Immersion: Renamed the stats dashboard's Anime tab to Library so the media browser label matches non-anime sources like YouTube and other yt-dlp-backed content.
+- Anilist: Standardized episode completion threshold by introducing `DEFAULT_MIN_WATCH_RATIO` and using it for both local watched state transitions and AniList post-watch progress updates.
+- Anilist: Episode auto-marking now uses the same threshold as AniList (`85%`), removing divergent completion behavior.
+- Overlay: Excluded interjections and sound-effect tokens from subtitle annotation styling so they no longer inherit misleading lexical highlight treatment while still remaining visible and hoverable as plain subtitle tokens.
+- Overlay: Expanded subtitle annotation noise filtering to also strip annotation metadata from standalone grammar-only helper tokens such as particles, auxiliaries, adnominals, common explanatory endings like `んです` / `のだ`, and merged trailing quote-particle forms like `...って` while keeping them tokenized for hover lookup.
+
+**Fixed**
+- Launcher: Fixed mpv Lua plugin binary auto-detection on Linux to also search `/usr/bin/subminer` and `/usr/local/bin/subminer` (lowercase), matching the conventional Unix wrapper name used by packaged installs such as the AUR package.
+- Stats: Fixed the in-app stats overlay so it connects to the configured `stats.serverPort` instead of falling back to the default port.
+- Overlay: Fixed subtitle frequency tagging for merged lookup-backed tokens like `陰に` by falling back to exact surface-form Yomitan frequencies when the normalized headword lookup misses.
+- Overlay: Fixed MeCab merged-token position mapping across line breaks so merged content-plus-particle tokens like `陰に` keep their matched Yomitan frequency instead of inheriting shifted POS tags.
+- Overlay: Fixed grouped frequency parsing in both Yomitan and fallback frequency-dictionary lookups so display values like `118,121` use the leading rank instead of collapsing the rank and occurrence count into `118121`.
+- Overlay: Fixed frequency-rank ingestion to ignore Yomitan dictionaries explicitly marked `occurrence-based`, so raw occurrence counts are no longer treated as subtitle rank values.
+- Overlay: Fixed inflected headword frequency tagging to prefer ranks from the selected Yomitan `termsFind` popup entry itself, ordered by configured dictionary priority, so forms like `潜み` use primary-dictionary ranks like `4073` before falling back to lower-priority raw lemma metadata such as `CC100`.
+- Overlay: Fixed annotation-stage frequency filtering so exact kanji noun tokens like `者` keep their matched rank even when MeCab labels them `名詞/非自立`, instead of dropping the highlight after scan-time frequency lookup succeeds.
+- Anki: Fixed repeated character-dictionary startup work by scheduling auto-sync only from mpv media-path changes instead of also re-triggering it from connection and media-title events for the same title.
+- Overlay: Fixed macOS fullscreen overlay stability by keeping the passive visible overlay from stealing focus, re-raising the overlay window when reasserting its macOS topmost level, and tolerating one transient macOS tracker/helper miss before hiding the overlay.
+- Overlay: Kept subtitle tokenization warmup one-shot for the lifetime of the app so later fullscreen/media churn on macOS does not replay the startup warmup gate after the first file is ready.
+- Overlay: Added a bounded macOS tracker loss-grace window so fullscreen enter/leave transitions do not immediately hide and reload the overlay when the helper briefly loses the mpv window.
+- Overlay: Skipped subtitle/tokenization refresh invalidation on character-dictionary auto-sync completion when the dictionary was already current, preventing startup flash/reload loops on unchanged media.
+- Stats: Fixed session stats so known-word counts track real known-word occurrences without collapsing subtitle-line gaps.
+- Stats: Fixed session word totals in session-facing stats views to prefer token counts when available, preventing known words from exceeding total words in the session chart.
+- Stats: Fixed the stats Vocabulary tab blank-screen regression caused by a hook-order crash after vocabulary data finished loading.
+- Anki: Fixed card-mine OSD feedback so the final mine result stops the Anki spinner first, then shows a single-line `✓`/`x` status without being overwritten by a later spinner tick.
+- Stats: Removed the misleading `New words` series from expanded session charts; session detail now shows only the real total-word and known-word lines.
+- Stats: Restored the cross-anime word table behavior in stats vocabulary surfaces so shared vocabulary entries no longer disappear or merge incorrectly across related media.
+- Stats: `subminer stats -b` now runs as a standalone background stats daemon instead of reusing the main SubMiner app process, so the overlay app can still be launched separately for normal video watching.
+- Stats: Dashboard word mining still works against the background daemon by using a short-lived hidden helper for the Yomitan add-note flow.
+- Stats: Load full session timelines by default in stats session detail views so long sessions preserve complete telemetry history instead of being truncated by a fixed sample limit.
+- Stats: Replaced heuristic stats word counts with Yomitan token counts, so session, media, anime, and trend subtitle totals now come directly from parsed subtitle tokens.
+- Stats: Updated stats UI labels and lookup-rate copy to refer to tokens instead of words where those counts are shown.
+- Overlay: Reduced repeated `Overlay loading...` popups on macOS when fullscreen tracker flaps briefly hide and recover the visible overlay.
+- Stats: Scaled expanded session-detail known-word charts to the session's actual percentage range so small changes no longer render as a nearly flat line.
+- Jlpt: Reduced JLPT dictionary startup log noise by summarizing duplicate surface-form collisions instead of logging one line per duplicate entry.

+
+<h2>v0.6.4 (2026-03-15)</h2>
+
+**Internal**
+- Release: Reworked AUR metadata generation to update `.SRCINFO` directly instead of depending on runner `makepkg`, fixing tagged release publishing for `subminer-bin`.
+
+<h2>v0.6.3 (2026-03-15)</h2>
+
+**Changed**
+- Overlay: Expanded the `Alt+C` controller modal into an inline config/remap flow with preferred-controller saving and per-action learn mode for buttons, triggers, and stick directions.
+
+**Internal**
+- Workflow: Hardened the `subminer-scrum-master` skill to explicitly answer whether docs updates and changelog fragments are required before handoff.
+- Release: Automate `subminer-bin` AUR package updates from the tagged release workflow.
+
+<h2>v0.6.2 (2026-03-12)</h2>
+
+**Changed**
+- Config: Added `yomitan.externalProfilePath` to reuse another Electron app's Yomitan profile in read-only mode.
+- Config: SubMiner now reuses external Yomitan dictionaries/settings without writing back to that profile.
+- Config: Launcher-managed playback now respects `yomitan.externalProfilePath` and no longer forces first-run setup when external Yomitan is configured.
+- Config: SubMiner now seeds `config.jsonc` even when the default config directory already exists.
+- Config: First-run setup now allows zero internal dictionaries when `yomitan.externalProfilePath` is configured, and falls back to requiring at least one internal dictionary if that external profile is later removed.
+
+<h2>v0.6.1 (2026-03-12)</h2>
+
+**Added**
+- Overlay: Added Chrome Gamepad API controller support for keyboard-only overlay mode, including configurable logical bindings for lookup, mining, popup navigation, Yomitan audio, mpv pause, d-pad fallback navigation, and slower smooth popup scrolling.
+- Overlay: Added `Alt+C` controller selection and `Alt+Shift+C` controller debug modals, with preferred controller persistence and live raw input inspection.
+- Overlay: Added a transient in-overlay controller-detected indicator when a controller is first found.

+
+<h2>v0.5.6 (2026-03-10)</h2>
+
+**Fixed**
+
+- Dictionary: Persist merged character-dictionary MRU state as soon as a new retained set is built so revisits do not get dropped if later Yomitan import work fails, and skip merged dictionary rebuilds for reorder-only revisits when the retained anime set itself has not changed.
+- Startup: Fixed early Electron startup writing config and user data under a lowercase `~/.config/subminer` path instead of the canonical `~/.config/SubMiner` directory.
+- Overlay: Kept JLPT underline colors stable during Yomitan hover and selection states, even when tokens also use known, N+1, name-match, or frequency styling.
+
+<h2>v0.5.5 (2026-03-09)</h2>
+
+**Changed**
+
+- Overlay: Added `f` as the default overlay fullscreen toggle and changed the default AniSkip intro-jump key to `Tab`.
+- Dictionary: Aligned AniList character dictionary generation more closely with the upstream reference by preserving duplicate shared names across characters, skipping characters without native Japanese names, restoring richer character info fields, and using upstream-style role mapping plus hint-aware kanji readings.
+- Startup: Ordered startup OSD messages so tokenization loads first, annotation loading appears next if still pending, and character dictionary sync progress waits until annotation loading finishes.
+- Dictionary: Added a visible startup OSD step for merged character-dictionary building so long rebuilds show progress before the later import/upload phase.
+
+**Fixed**
+
+- Dictionary: Fixed AniList media guessing for character dictionary auto-sync by using filename-only `guessit` input and preserving multi-part guessit titles instead of truncating them to the first segment.
+- Dictionary: Refresh the current subtitle after character dictionary auto-sync completes so newly imported character names highlight on the active line instead of waiting for the next subtitle change.
+- Dictionary: Show character dictionary auto-sync progress on the mpv OSD without sending desktop notifications.
+- Dictionary: Keep character dictionary auto-sync non-blocking during startup by letting snapshot/build work run in parallel and delaying only the Yomitan import/settings phase until current-media tokenization is already ready.
+- Overlay: Fixed visible overlay keyboard handling so pressing `Tab` still reaches mpv and triggers the default AniSkip skip-intro binding while the overlay has focus.
+- Plugin: Fix Windows mpv plugin binary override lookup so `SUBMINER_BINARY_PATH` still resolves to `SubMiner.exe` when no AppImage override is set.
+
+<h2>v0.5.3 (2026-03-09)</h2>
+
+**Changed**
+
+- Release: Publish unsigned Windows `.exe` and `.zip` artifacts directly from release CI instead of routing them through SignPath.
+- Release: Added `bun run build:win:unsigned` for explicit local unsigned Windows packaging.
+
+<h2>v0.5.2 (2026-03-09)</h2>
+
+**Internal**
+
+- Release: Pinned the Windows SignPath submission workflow to an explicit artifact-configuration slug instead of relying on the SignPath project's default configuration.
+
+<h2>v0.5.1 (2026-03-09)</h2>
+
+**Changed**
+
+- Launcher: Removed the YouTube subtitle generation mode switch so YouTube playback always preloads subtitles before mpv starts.
+
+**Fixed**
+
+- Launcher: Hardened YouTube AI subtitle fixing so fenced SRT output and text-only one-cue-per-block responses can still be applied without losing original cue timing.
+- Launcher: Skipped AniSkip lookup during URL playback and YouTube subtitle-preload playback, limiting AniSkip to local file targets where it can actually resolve anime metadata.
+- Launcher: Keep the background SubMiner process running after a launcher-managed mpv session exits so the next mpv instance can reconnect without restarting the app.
+- Launcher: Reuse prior tokenization readiness after the background app is already warm so reopening a video does not pause again waiting for duplicate warmup completion.
+- Windows: Acquire the app single-instance lock earlier so Windows overlay/video launches reuse the running background SubMiner process instead of booting a second full app and repeating startup warmups.

 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.
 
-## Stats Dashboard
-
-The character dictionary and stats dashboard both read from the same local immersion data.
-
-- Open the dashboard from overlay: press your configured `stats.toggleKey` (default: `` ` `` / `Backquote`).
-- Open from launcher/CLI: run `subminer stats`.
-- Open directly: visit `http://127.0.0.1:<stats.serverPort>` when the local server is running.
-
-Useful config keys:
-
-- `stats.autoStartServer` — start the local stats server automatically once immersion tracking starts.
-- `stats.serverPort` — local HTTP port for dashboard and API.
-- `stats.toggleKey` — key binding for overlay dashboard toggle.
-- `stats.autoOpenBrowser` — auto-open dashboard browser for `subminer stats`.
-
-The dashboard gives quick visibility into episode summaries, watch-time rollups, session timelines, and vocabulary/kanji drill-down from the same DB used by character matching.

 # Installation
 
+## How the Pieces Fit Together
+
+SubMiner is an overlay that sits on top of mpv. It connects to mpv through an IPC socket, renders subtitles as interactive text using a bundled Yomitan dictionary engine, and optionally creates Anki flashcards via AnkiConnect.
+
+To get a working setup you need:
+
+1. **mpv** launched with an IPC socket so SubMiner can read subtitle data
+2. **SubMiner** (the Electron overlay app)
+3. **Dictionaries** imported into the bundled Yomitan instance (lookups won't work without at least one)
+4. **Anki + AnkiConnect** _(optional but recommended)_ for card creation and enrichment
+
+The `subminer` launcher script handles step 1 automatically. If you launch mpv yourself or from another tool, you must pass `--input-ipc-server=/tmp/subminer-socket` (or the equivalent named pipe on Windows) — without it the overlay will start but subtitles will never appear.

+**Linux** — one of the following window backends:
 
-- Hyprland (uses `hyprctl`)
+- **Hyprland** — native Wayland support (uses `hyprctl`)

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

-### Windows Usage Notes
+1. **Run `SubMiner.exe` once** — first-run setup creates `%APPDATA%\SubMiner\config.jsonc`, installs the mpv plugin, and opens Yomitan settings for dictionary import.
+2. **Create the SubMiner mpv shortcut** _(recommended)_ — the setup popup offers to create a `SubMiner mpv` Start Menu and/or Desktop shortcut. This is the recommended way to launch playback on Windows.
+3. **Play a video** — double-click the shortcut, drag a video file onto it, or run from a terminal:
 
-- Launch `SubMiner.exe` once to let the first-run setup flow seed `%APPDATA%\\SubMiner\\config.jsonc`, require mpv plugin installation, and open bundled Yomitan settings. The optional `SubMiner mpv` Start Menu/Desktop shortcut can also be created during setup, and on Windows it is the recommended way to launch mpv playback with SubMiner defaults.
+```powershell
-- If `mpv.exe` is not on `PATH`, set `mpv.executablePath` in `config.jsonc` or use the first-run setup field to point at the executable. Leave it blank to keep PATH auto-discovery.
+& "C:\Program Files\SubMiner\SubMiner.exe" --launch-mpv "C:\Videos\episode 01.mkv"
-- `SubMiner.exe --launch-mpv` and the optional `SubMiner mpv` shortcut pass SubMiner's default mpv socket/subtitle args directly and do not require an `mpv.conf` profile named `subminer`.
+```
-- First-run mpv plugin installs pin `binary_path` to the current `SubMiner.exe` automatically. Manual plugin configs can leave `binary_path` empty unless SubMiner is installed in a non-standard location.
+
-- Windows plugin installs rewrite `socket_path` to `\\.\pipe\subminer-socket`; do not keep `/tmp/subminer-socket` on Windows.
+The shortcut and `--launch-mpv` pass SubMiner's default IPC socket and subtitle args directly — no `mpv.conf` profile is needed.
-- Native window tracking is built in on Windows; no `xdotool`, `xwininfo`, or compositor-specific helper is required.
+
+### Windows-Specific Notes
+
+- The `subminer` launcher script requires [Bun](https://bun.sh) and must be invoked with `bun run subminer` on Windows since the shebang is not supported. The **SubMiner mpv** shortcut or `SubMiner.exe --launch-mpv` is the simpler alternative.

+
+## First-Run Setup
+
+Run the setup wizard to create a default config and finish initial configuration. You do **not** need to create the config manually — SubMiner handles it.

+subminer app --setup
-subminer video.mkv

+
+The setup popup walks you through:
+
+- **Config file**: auto-created at `~/.config/SubMiner/config.jsonc` (Linux/macOS) or `%APPDATA%\SubMiner\config.jsonc` (Windows)
+- **mpv plugin**: install the bundled Lua plugin for in-player keybindings
+- **Yomitan dictionaries**: import at least one dictionary so lookups work
+- **Windows shortcut** _(Windows only)_: optionally create a `SubMiner mpv` Start Menu/Desktop shortcut
+
+The `Finish setup` button stays disabled until the plugin is installed and at least one dictionary is imported. Once you finish, SubMiner will not show the popup again.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> You can re-open the setup popup at any time with `subminer app --setup` or `SubMiner.AppImage --setup`.
+
+Once setup is complete, play a video to verify everything works:

+
+You should see the overlay appear over mpv. If subtitles are loaded in the video, they will appear as interactive text in the overlay.

-## Bundle location
-
-SubMiner expects the JLPT term-meta bank files to be available locally at:
-
-- `vendor/yomitan-jlpt-vocab`
-
-At runtime, SubMiner also searches these derived locations:
-
-- `vendor/yomitan-jlpt-vocab`
-- `vendor/yomitan-jlpt-vocab/vendor/yomitan-jlpt-vocab`
-- `vendor/yomitan-jlpt-vocab/yomitan-jlpt-vocab`
-
-and user-data/config fallback paths (see `getJlptDictionarySearchPaths` in `src/main.ts`).
-
-## Required files
-
-The expected files are:
-
-- `term_meta_bank_1.json`
-- `term_meta_bank_2.json`
-- `term_meta_bank_3.json`
-- `term_meta_bank_4.json`
-- `term_meta_bank_5.json`
-
-Each bank maps terms to frequency metadata; only entries with a `frequency.displayValue` are considered for JLPT tagging.
-
-SubMiner also reuses the same `term_meta_bank_*.json` format for frequency-based subtitle highlighting, using installed/default `frequency-dictionary` locations or an explicit `subtitleStyle.frequencyDictionary.sourcePath`.
-
-## Source and update process
-
-For reproducible updates:
-
-1. Obtain the JLPT term-meta bank archive from the same upstream source that supplies the bundled Yomitan dictionary data.
-2. Extract the five `term_meta_bank_*.json` files.
-3. Place them into `vendor/yomitan-jlpt-vocab/`.
-4. Commit the update with the source URL/version in the task notes.
-
-This repository currently ships the folder path in `electron-builder` `extraResources` as:
-`vendor/yomitan-jlpt-vocab -> yomitan-jlpt-vocab`.
-
-## Fallback Behavior
-
-If bank files are missing, malformed, or lack expected metadata, SubMiner skips them gracefully. When no usable entries are found, JLPT underlining is silently disabled and subtitle rendering remains unchanged.
