-# Compatibility Shim
+# SubMiner Change Verification
 
-Canonical source:
+Verify the behavior claimed by a change without running unrelated expensive checks by default.
 
-- `plugins/subminer-workflow/skills/subminer-change-verification/SKILL.md`
+## Workflow
 
-Canonical helper scripts:
+1. Inspect the requested scope and changed paths with `git status --short` and `git diff`.
+2. Read `docs/workflow/verification.md` as the source of truth for maintained lanes.
+3. Run the cheapest lane or lanes that cover the changed behavior.
+4. Escalate to the full handoff gate only for substantial or cross-boundary changes.
+5. Report exact commands, results, skipped checks, blockers, and remaining risk.
 
-- `plugins/subminer-workflow/skills/subminer-change-verification/scripts/classify_subminer_diff.sh`
-- `plugins/subminer-workflow/skills/subminer-change-verification/scripts/verify_subminer_change.sh`
+Do not use hidden wrapper commands. Verification commands are owned by `package.json` and the workflow documentation.
 
-When this shim is invoked:
+## Lane Selection
 
-1. Read the canonical plugin-owned skill.
-2. Follow the plugin-owned skill as the source of truth.
-3. Use the wrapper scripts in this shim directory only for compatibility with existing commands and docs.
-4. Do not duplicate workflow changes here; update the plugin-owned skill and scripts instead.
+- Internal docs, `AGENTS.md`, or `.agents/skills/**`: `bun run test:docs:kb`
+- User-facing `docs-site/**`: `bun run docs:test`, then `bun run docs:build`
+- Config/schema/defaults: `bun run test:config`
+  - If defaults or templates changed, also run `bun run generate:config-example` and `bun run verify:config-example`.
+- General TypeScript source: `bun run typecheck`, then `bun run test:fast`
+- Launcher or mpv plugin: `bun run test:launcher` or `bun run test:env`, based on the behavior changed
+- Runtime compatibility or dist-sensitive wiring: `bun run test:runtime:compat`
+- Stats dashboard: `bun run test:stats`
+- Build/release scripts: `bun run test:scripts`
+
+For substantial changes, use the full gate documented in `AGENTS.md` and `docs/workflow/verification.md`.
+
+## Runtime Escalation
+
+Real runtime checks are required when the claim depends on actual Electron, mpv, overlay, focus, window tracking, launch, or socket behavior. Run the relevant application flow when the environment supports it. Otherwise, report the missing runtime dependency and do not present cheaper checks as authoritative runtime validation.
+
+## Pre-Handoff Checks
+
+Before handoff, reconcile both questions:
+
+1. Do behavior, defaults, flags, shortcuts, ports, APIs, architecture, or workflow changes require documentation updates?
+2. Does the change require a current-outcome fragment under `changes/` according to `changes/README.md`?
+
+Complete required updates before handoff or report the blocker.

+name: subminer-release
+description: Prepare, cut, publish, or repair SubMiner stable and prerelease releases. Use for hands-on release work; do not use for general release questions.
+---
+
+# SubMiner release
+
+Carry out the requested release phase using the repository's current release process.
+
+## Source of truth
+
+Read `docs/RELEASING.md` completely before changing files or release state. Treat it as canonical. Read `changes/README.md` when the work touches change fragments or generated release notes.
+
+Do not copy release commands or policy into this skill. If this skill disagrees with the release guide, follow the guide and reconcile the skill before handoff.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Identify whether the request is for a stable release, prerelease, release preparation, publication, or repair.
+2. Inspect the current branch, worktree status, package version, pending change fragments, relevant tags, and latest CI state before making changes.
+3. Follow the matching procedure in `docs/RELEASING.md` in order. Review generated changelog and release-note Markdown before it can be committed or published.
+4. Run every required gate for the requested release phase. Do not treat a cheaper test lane as a substitute for the documented release gate.
+5. Before a stable tag, confirm the package and tag versions match and no pending `changes/*.md` fragments remain. Preserve fragments for prereleases as documented.
+6. Report the resulting version, completed checks, local commit and tag state, remote publication state, skipped platform checks, and any remaining manual work.
+
+## Authorization boundaries
+
+- A request to prepare a release stops before commit, tag, push, or remote publication unless the user also authorizes those actions.
+- A clear request to cut or publish a release includes the documented commit, tag, and push steps. Ask before the first remote mutation when the wording is ambiguous.
+- Do not edit an existing GitHub release, publish to the AUR, change secrets, or alter signing configuration unless the user explicitly requests that operation.
+- Do not switch branches without consent.
+
+## Stop conditions
+
+Stop and report the blocker when required CI or a release gate fails, authentication is missing, versions disagree, required artifacts are absent, or the worktree contains unexpected changes that overlap the release. Do not tag or publish a partially verified release.

 # Changelog
 
+## v0.19.6 (2026-09-04)
+
+### Added
+
+- **Card Timing Review**:
+  - Optional pre-generation timing review for word, sentence, and audio cards, with a speech-weighted waveform that flattens background noise so dialogue edges stand out clearly.
+  - The clip end automatically snaps back to where the line's dialogue actually ends once the waveform loads, with drag and keyboard adjustments available.
+  - Audio preview includes a sweeping playhead that plays the clip to its true end, even on high-latency outputs like Bluetooth headphones.
+  - Previous and next subtitle lines can be pulled onto the card with `P`/`N` (or the Prev/Next steppers) and removed with Shift; the sentence preview and waveform markers update automatically.
+  - Cancelling lets you keep a card without media, and the review can be toggled on or off for the session.
+- **Senren Field Grouping**:
+  - Enable `ankiConnect.isSenren` to merge duplicate mined cards using Senren's scene-switching markup, grouping sentence, furigana, audio, picture, and misc-info fields.
+  - Supports the same auto/manual/disabled modes as Kiku, including the manual merge modal; only one of Senren or Kiku can be enabled at a time.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Remote Stream Mining Performance**: Mining a card from a remote stream (Jellyfin and other HTTP sources) now downloads the clip window once and reuses it for the timing review waveform, audio preview, audio extraction, and screenshot, instead of re-fetching the stream at each step; the temporary file is cleaned up after ten minutes of inactivity or on exit.
+- **TsukiHime Release Filtering**: The TsukiHime modal's Japanese and secondary-language tabs now filter the release list by the subtitle languages each release actually carries, and report when no release has subtitles for the active tab.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Subtitle & Mining Accuracy**:
+  - Broadcast-style captions that split one sentence across two on-screen rows (e.g. Crunchyroll Japanese subs) now merge into a single line for the sidebar and mined cards, while separate speakers, sound effects, and labeled turns still stay on their own lines.
+  - Mining from the overlay no longer pulls in a lingering row from the previous caption; the mined sentence and clip timing now match what's actually on screen.
+  - Multi-line copy and mining now select lines backward in timeline order after seeking, instead of in playback encounter order.
+  - Copying a subtitle, mining a sentence, or recording immersion stats no longer includes the separate furigana line that broadcast ASS captions place above a word.
+- **Card Update Notifications**: Dismissed lingering overlay card-update progress when notification settings switch to OSD before an update finishes.
+- **Overlay Stability on Hyprland**: Opening a modal window (timing review, Jimaku, session help, and others) while mpv is fullscreen no longer causes the overlay to flicker while the modal loads; the overlay now stays on screen untouched until the modal is ready.
+- **Jellyfin Subtitle Sync**: Jellyfin subtitle files now load with zero mpv delay instead of inferring and saving an offset from Japanese and English cue timelines.
+- **Secondary Subtitle Visibility**: Native mpv secondary subtitles stay hidden when switching secondary subtitle tracks during playback.
+
+## v0.19.5 (2026-08-30)
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Anki Card Update Progress**: The card-update spinner now stays visible until audio and image updates finish, instead of disappearing early.
+- **Anki Word-Card Fields**: Word-card enrichment now writes sentence text and audio to the fields configured in AnkiConnect, while the dedicated sentence-card and audio-card actions keep their existing compatible field names.
+- **Overlapping Subtitles**:
+  - Subtitle lines that start while another line is still on screen now appear alongside it, instead of staying hidden until a track switch or seek.
+  - Subtitles shown at the same time now stack by their authored screen position, with top signs and song lines above bottom dialogue.
+  - Half-size ASS furigana is no longer shown as if it were a dialogue line.
+- **YouTube Auto Captions**:
+  - Auto-generated captions now follow their intended timing and two-row roll-up layout.
+  - Long speech is paged instead of covering the video with a wall of text.
+  - Explicitly timed sound cues like `[音楽]` no longer cover later dialogue.
+
+## v0.19.4 (2026-08-25)
+
+### Added
+- **Library Merge & Move**: Duplicate library cards for the same show can now be combined. Select cards in the library grid and use "Merge Selected" to pick which entry to keep and move every episode onto it, preserving sessions, mined cards, and watch time. Episodes can also be reassigned individually via the "→" button, useful when a file lands under a stray title; manual assignments survive later filename parsing, Jellyfin refreshes, and season repair. Exact AniList title matches with compatible seasons now merge automatically, while fuzzy matches surface as dismissible "Possible duplicate" reviews instead of merging silently.
+- **Duplicate Line Cleanup Tool**: The Vocabulary tab's new "Duplicates" button scans a chosen time window (7 days through all time) for old karaoke/typeset duplicate-line bursts, shows what it found, and collapses each run to one line once confirmed; `subminer stats cleanup --duplicate-lines` does the same from the terminal, with `--dry-run` and `--lookback-days <n>` options. Watch time and lines-seen totals are left unchanged.
+
+### Changed
+- **Prerelease Release Notes**: Prerelease notes now open with a "Changes since" section listing only what changed versus the previous beta/RC of the same version, above the cumulative highlights, and CI rejects prerelease tags whose committed notes were generated for a different beta/RC.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Subtitle & Karaoke Duplication**:
+  - Karaoke and animated signs are reconstructed once from their authored text and shown only while actually sung, with original word spacing preserved, instead of flooding the overlay, subtitle sidebar, immersion history, mining, or stats with glyph fragments, per-frame color phases, and repeated animation events.
+  - Decorative layers (highlight sweeps, glow/shadow copies, symbol-font decoration, particle swarms, hidden or zero-scaled text) stay out of published text, while ordinary repeated dialogue, positioned signs, wrapped lyric rows, and multi-row CC-style blocks still display correctly.
+  - Embedded subtitle tracks on network-mounted (SMB/NFS) media are extracted and parsed again instead of falling back to live-text-only, restoring karaoke reconstruction, sidebar cues, and mining for releases that only ship subtitles inside the container.
+  - Secondary subtitles go through the same deduplication pipeline as primary subtitles and no longer clip display after about four lines.
+  - Event-heavy karaoke files that previously stalled subtitle loading for several seconds now parse in well under a second.
+- **Character Dictionary Reliability**:
+  - Generation, merged rebuilds, and imports no longer freeze the app on large dictionaries; snapshot I/O, archive building, and image/name lookup caches moved off the UI's critical path.
+  - Dictionaries are reused instead of regenerated when MeCab finds no name splits.
+  - Cached portraits restore correctly after the portrait index finishes loading post-tokenization.
+  - Desktop progress notifications on Linux AppImage installs update in place instead of flickering, fixing a bug where the AppImage's bundled libraries broke the system notification helper.
+- **Overlay Startup & Modals**:
+  - The macOS window-tracking helper targets macOS 12.0+ instead of requiring the build machine's exact macOS version, fixing crashes on older systems like Ventura that left the overlay stuck on "Overlay loading".
+  - mpv IPC connection attempts time out and retry, showing an actionable error if content still isn't ready after 30 seconds.
+  - Dedicated overlay modals are prewarmed on macOS and Windows so shortcuts open them promptly.
+  - On macOS, reused modals and the stats window open above fullscreen mpv on its current Space instead of jumping to another desktop.
+- **Wayland File Drop**: Fixed native Wayland drag-and-drop from file managers such as Thunar, so subtitle and video files dropped on the visible overlay are resolved and forwarded to mpv.
+- **Windows Mouse Lag**: Fixed system-wide mouse lag on Windows while SubMiner is running, caused by the overlay's global mouse hook for click-through forwarding and by the mpv window tracker blocking the app on repeated PowerShell lookups.
+- **Sentence Mining Audio & Clips**: Sentence-audio generation no longer times out on slow network-mounted media with many subtitle/font streams (bounded FFmpeg probing, two-minute extraction budget, clearer error reporting), and mined audio/animated AVIF clips now capture the subtitle line that was actually mined by snapshotting the clip range at lookup time instead of reading live mpv state later.
+- **Stats Performance & Reliability**: Immersion stats storage now sets its SQLite busy timeout before WAL setup, avoiding transient lock errors under concurrent writes. Deletes in the stats dashboard no longer freeze the UI, run proportional to what's deleted instead of rebuilding full lifetime summaries, retry safely if the delete worker crashes, and no longer rescan the whole library when deleting very common words; a new index also makes large session deletes drop from minutes to milliseconds. Library merges, video moves, and AniList reassignments got the same lifetime-summary fix.
+- **Vocabulary Stats Accuracy**: Vocabulary totals and charts now count all tracked vocabulary instead of only the first page, new-word history uses corrected daily rollups (fixing legacy timestamp and time-zone issues), summary cards refresh automatically after edits to the exclusion list, and rapid exclusion edits no longer race each other.
+- **Rofi MKV Thumbnails**: Fixed missing MKV thumbnails in the Linux rofi picker when system thumbnailer registrations only advertise legacy Matroska MIME aliases.

+
+### Internal
+- Docs Site Indexing: Excluded the `/main/` and `/v/<version>/` docs trees from search indexing (self-referential canonical, `noindex,follow`, matching `X-Robots-Tag`) so crawlers focus on current docs instead of ~30 archived copies of every page, and restored `<lastmod>` dates in the docs sitemap that were silently dropped by production builds.
+
+</details>
+
+## v0.19.3 (2026-08-13)
+
+### Added
+- Changelog Modal: Adds an in-app changelog you can open from the tray ("View Changelog") or the "What's New" button on the update notification, so the notification stays reachable while you read. It shows the newest published release notes (falling back to the bundled changelog if that fetch fails), folds older versions while keeping the current one expanded, and supports keyboard navigation (`J`/`K`/arrows, `Enter`, `R`, `Esc`).
+
+### Changed
+- Subtitle Tokenization Performance: Reworks subtitle dictionary lookups to cut per-line work roughly in half, cache repeated lookups across lines, and stop tokenization from competing with on-screen subtitle prefetching. Also fixes several accuracy issues along the way: dropped readings on trailing kana, character names being skipped after a dictionary sync, annotations not refreshing after mining a card, and halfwidth katakana character names losing their reading or being swallowed by other words.
+
+### Fixed
+- Character Dictionary Large Imports: Large character dictionaries (e.g. One Piece) no longer fail to install from a fixed timeout budget; the import now scales its time budget to dictionary size and reports detailed progress (page/character counts, image download progress, elapsed time) instead of one static message.
+- Stats Delete Responsiveness: Deleting sessions, episodes, or library entries no longer freezes the stats page or an active video player; deletes are now batched into a single transaction.
+- Styled Subtitle Cue Parsing: Heavily typeset subtitles (karaoke, signs) no longer flood the subtitle sidebar with garbage; vector drawing commands are no longer shown as text, and duplicate/animation-burst cues now collapse into one.
+- X11 mpv Renderer: Fixes an mpv crash on the first fullscreen toggle for X11/XWayland users with `gpu-next` shaders (e.g. ArtCNN), which was caused by X11 mode forcing the legacy OpenGL renderer.
+- X11 Overlay Display Scaling: Fixes the overlay appearing oversized and offset from mpv on X11/XWayland under fractional or mixed-monitor display scaling.
+
+<details>
+<summary>Internal changes</summary>
+
+### Internal
+- Subtitle text is now decoded from ASS exactly once at ingest, so the renderer, timing tracker, and tokenizer all share one decoded value instead of each re-deriving it.
+- Added per-stage debug timings (`scanMs`, `mecabMs`, `frequencyMs`, `annotateMs`) to the subtitle tokenization pipeline log.
+
+</details>
+
+## v0.19.2 (2026-08-04)
+
+### Changed
+- Subsync: The sync modal now lets you choose both the reference subtitle (correct timing) and the out-of-sync subtitle to retime, for both alass and ffsubsync. alass can also use the loaded video's audio as a reference for local files. Retiming the secondary track now reloads the result into the secondary slot instead of overwriting the primary subtitle.
+
+### Fixed
+- Streaming Subtitle Tokenization: Jellyfin streams now seed subtitle tokenization directly from the downloaded subtitle file instead of relying on an mpv event that could be missed, and prefetching now runs to the end of the file and clears between episodes. The tokenization cache was raised from 256 to 2500 lines, and parsed cues are no longer lost when the active subtitle track briefly can't be resolved (e.g. switching to an embedded track). Together these prevent episodes from falling back to slow, line-by-line tokenization during playback.
+- Overlay: Subtitle lines now appear immediately at their cue time even on a tokenization cache miss, upgrading in place once tokens and annotations are ready, instead of waiting on a line still being processed. A failed tokenization is no longer cached as plain text, so repeated lines get another chance at annotations.
+- Background Logging: Background startup now respects the configured logging level when no explicit log level is passed.
+
+<details>
+<summary>Internal changes</summary>
+
+### Internal
+- Patched three high-severity dependency advisories (`undici`, `brace-expansion`, `fast-uri`).
+
+</details>
+
+## v0.19.1 (2026-08-01)
+
+### Added
+- Word Card Type: Adds a setting (Settings > Mining/Anki > Kiku/Lapis Features > "Word Card Type") to choose which card-type flag SubMiner marks on Kiku/Lapis word cards — `word-and-sentence` (default), `click`, `sentence`, `audio`, or `none`. Click cards (`IsClickCard`) can now be flagged, and setting any card-type flag clears the others so a note can't claim two types at once.
+
+### Fixed
+- Yomitan Popup: Fixes the macOS Yomitan popup going inert after mining a card — clicks outside the popup no longer pass through to mpv, and scrolling over the popup scrolls its definitions instead of seeking playback.
+- YouTube Playlist Links: Fixes opening a video from a playlist URL (e.g. a Watch Later link with `list=`/`index=`) timing out while probing subtitles, metadata, or the playback URL.
+
+## v0.19.0 (2026-07-29)
+
+### Added
+- Anki Maturity Highlighting: Known-word subtitle highlights can now be colored by Anki card maturity (new, learning, young, mature), similar to asbplayer. Tier thresholds and colors are configurable, with a runtime toggle and an updated help legend.
+- Post-Playback Menu: After a watch-history episode ends, the fzf/rofi launcher returns to that series with options to play the previous or next episode, rewatch, pick another episode, or quit. The pre-playback series menu now offers the previous episode too.
+- Delete Library Entries: The stats Library detail view can now delete an entire title in one step (episodes, sessions, subtitle lines, rollups, cover art, and vocabulary counts). Delete progress is now shown app-wide via a progress bar and status toast instead of disappearing when you switch tabs.
+- Cross-Machine Sync: Added SSH-based syncing of stats and watch history between machines, available from the tray ("Sync Stats & History") or `subminer sync`, with saved devices, per-host sync direction, background auto-sync, connection testing, manual snapshots, and support for Windows remotes.
+- TsukiHime Subtitle Downloads: Added subtitle downloads for the current video via TsukiHime, loading Japanese as the primary track and your configured secondary language directly into mpv.
+
+### Changed
+- Clipboard-Video Shortcut: The "append clipboard video to queue" shortcut is now configurable.
+
+### Fixed
+- AniList Season Resolution: Season 2+ files now resolve to the correct AniList entry instead of silently falling back to season 1 (which mismatched character dictionaries and watch progress). Manual overrides now stay scoped per season, fix both the dictionary and progress tracking together, and also correct per-season cover art.
+- Subtitle Annotation Accuracy: Fixed several annotation edge cases, including inconsistent POS exclusions on merged quote-particle tokens, dropped annotations on supplementary-plane kanji, katakana punctuation wrongly treated as noise, and certain kanji vocabulary losing N+1 highlighting eligibility.
+- AnkiConnect Proxy Port Conflict: Video startup no longer crashes when another process already holds the configured AnkiConnect proxy port; a notification now explains how to resolve it.
+- AppImage Quit Crash: Fixed a "Service Crash" desktop notification appearing after closing a video when running the Linux AppImage.
+- Autoplay Pause Timing: Fixed playback resuming a few seconds before subtitle tokenization warmup finished, most noticeable when resuming mid-episode or when a cue starts within the first two seconds.
+- Stats Known-Word Count: Fixed stats reporting 0 known words for every session after the known-word cache format changed.
+- Stats Library Cover Art: Relinking a title to a different AniList entry now updates its cover in the Library grid immediately instead of leaving a stale, mismatched cover cached.
+- Rofi Prompt Spacing: Rofi menu prompts now keep a space before the input field instead of running into the placeholder text.
+- Stats Settings & Reliability: Hardened stats settings validation (nested/legacy AnkiConnect config now falls back safely instead of breaking) and stats routes against malformed requests and other edge cases.
+- Stats Delete Performance: Deleting sessions, episodes, and library entries is now dramatically faster and no longer stalls playback (e.g. a 12-episode title dropped from about a minute to under a second on a large library); the Vocabulary tab also loads much faster. The first launch after upgrading runs a one-time database migration.
+
+<details>
+<summary>Internal changes</summary>
+
+### Internal
+- Added a golden-file regression test corpus for the tokenizer/annotation pipeline, plus scripts to record new fixtures and diff against stock Yomitan.
+- Consolidated renderer modal state handling into a descriptor registry.
+- Consolidated CI quality checks (PR, stable, and prerelease) into one reusable workflow with mpv plugin tests and dependency audits.
+- Removed the unused stats IPC transport and unified stats dashboard HTTP types with the backend contract.
+- Added a script to verify known-word highlight tiers against live Anki data outside of playback.

@@ -42,13 +42,14 @@ How fragments turn into a release:
 
 - At release time, `bun run changelog:build` (and `bun run changelog:prerelease-notes`) pipes every pending fragment through `claude -p` to merge related items, drop noise, and rewrite into a clean user-facing release body. Write fragments as raw, informative notes — don't worry about polished prose, deduping across PRs, or line-by-line phrasing. The polish step handles all of that.
 - The polish step treats pending fragments as the final release outcome, not prerelease history. If a feature is added and then renamed or fixed before the stable cut, ship the final feature bullet instead of separate prerelease-only breaking/fix entries.
-- GitHub release notes and prerelease notes use short top-level items with nested bullets for the change, user benefit, and any useful action note. The stable `CHANGELOG.md` can stay in compact single-line bullets.
+- `CHANGELOG.md`, GitHub release notes, and prerelease notes all use short top-level items with one nested bullet per distinct change, instead of packing a release's worth of detail into a single paragraph bullet. An item with only one thing to say stays inline on the top-level bullet. Release notes and prerelease notes additionally cover user benefit and any useful action note in their nested bullets.
 - `internal` fragments stay in `CHANGELOG.md` (inside a collapsed `<details>` block) but are dropped from the GitHub release notes entirely.
 - The polished `CHANGELOG.md` and `release/release-notes.md` are committed and reviewed before tagging — edit the Markdown by hand if Claude misses something.
 
 Prerelease notes:
 
 - prerelease tags like `v0.11.3-beta.1` and `v0.11.3-rc.1` reuse the current pending fragments to generate `release/prerelease-notes.md`
+- from the second prerelease of a base version onward, the notes also open with a `## Changes since <previous tag>` section generated from the fragment diff against the previous beta/RC tag; keep fragment edits meaningful. Editorial-only rewording is filtered out of that section, while genuinely changed behavior and deleted fragments (reverted changes) are reported
 - existing prerelease notes are a reviewed baseline; later prerelease runs should replace stale beta/RC wording with the current outcome instead of appending fix churn
 - prerelease note generation does not consume fragments and does not update `CHANGELOG.md` or `docs-site/changelog.md`
 - the final stable release is the point where `bun run changelog:build` consumes fragments into the stable changelog and release notes

+- Resolving "season N" against AniList no longer lands one season short for franchises whose broadcast seasons are listed as several entries. AniList records the back half of a split cour ("… Season 2 Part 2", "… Cour 2", "第2クール") as its own sequel, and the resolver counted each as a season — so Mushoku Tensei season 3 resolved to the season 2 entry and Re:ZERO season 4 to season 3, which then drove the character dictionary and AniList progress updates to the wrong series. A sequel carrying a part or cour marker that matches the season it continues is now followed without advancing the season count, in both the relation walk and the air-order fallback. Titles are compared ignoring punctuation, and the marker is looked for in every title and synonym rather than just the display title. A wrong match cached before this fix is remembered in `character-dictionaries/anilist-resolution-cache.json` and needs removing (or overriding from the character dictionary picker) for the affected series.
+- A special or OVA sitting in a franchise's sequel chain is walked through without counting as a season. Dr. STONE links STONE WARS to New World through a one-episode special, which made New World resolve as season 4 and every later season shift with it.
+- An AniList rate limit or network failure while walking sequel relations is reported so the caller can retry, instead of falling through to the air-date fallback. That fallback is for a franchise with missing relation edges; running it after a failed lookup turned a transient 429 into a confidently wrong season.
+- The shared title parser recognizes spelled-out episode labels (`Episode 4`, `第4話`) and a season named at the end of the title (`… Season 3`, `… 3rd Season`, `… S3`), which now fill the Season field instead of being searched for as part of the series name. The TsukiHime modal gained a Season field to match Jimaku, and seasons after the first are included in its search query so a later season's releases are actually found.

+- Added an anime browser window that searches Aniyomi extension sources, shows cover art and episode lists, and plays an episode in mpv so the overlay and mining tools attach as usual.
+- Browser failures show a dismissible explanation with next steps and expandable technical details, including the bridge's error response instead of only its HTTP status.
+- Added `subminer anime` and the `--anime` flag to open the browser, plus a "Browse Anime" tray entry.
+- Anime extensions are read from `<userData>/anime-extensions`; drop Aniyomi `.apk` files there to add sources.
+- Added a source settings tab so extensions that need configuration (server address, credentials, quality) can be set up from the browser; values persist per extension and source, and updated extension schemas replace stale saved field definitions without losing values. Older unscoped preferences are discarded once because their package ownership cannot be proven safely.
+- Added an Extensions tab for adding repository URLs and installing, updating, or removing extensions in place; extensions that fail to load are listed with the reason. Repository requests time out instead of hanging, APK updates are staged before replacing the installed copy, and removing an extension refreshes the runtime even when saved credential cleanup fails while still reporting that failure.
+- Browse, Extensions, and Source settings are tabs, so each one gets the full window instead of sharing it with the search results.
+- Repository URLs only need to be an https URL to a `.json` index; the file name is not restricted to `index.min.json`.
+- The source picker offers "All sources", which searches every installed source at once. Results stream in as each source answers, with per-source progress in the status bar. Results are tagged with their source, failures do not blank the grid, and **Load more** appends later pages without duplicating streamed entries.
+- The Extensions tab opens with an Installed section listing every extension on disk with Remove, including ones added by hand or whose repository has since been removed. It compares APK and repository version codes, enables Update only for newer builds, marks current extensions as Up to date, and offers Update all when multiple updates are waiting.
+- Added `anime.repos`, `anime.extensionsDir`, `anime.preferredQuality`, and `anime.defaultSource` config keys; **Set default** on an Installed row in the Extensions tab makes that source (or All sources) the one the browser opens on, and the current default carries a tag. SubMiner ships no extension repositories and performs no discovery.
+- The settings app now groups Anime Browser config under an **Aniyomi** section in Integrations. A new `anime.autoOpenJimaku` option pauses newly loaded Anime Browser episodes, waits for mpv's video window to appear, closes the in-player browser, hides the standalone browser window so it is not pulled in front of mpv when the modals close, opens Jimaku with the episode details filled in, and resumes after a subtitle loads or the modal closes without overriding playback that was already paused.
+- Anime playback targets Japanese audio: dub-labelled entries are skipped when the source offers an alternative, `alang` prefers Japanese, and the source's own audio and subtitle tracks are loaded into mpv (Japanese selected) instead of being discarded, so all of them can be switched from mpv's track menu.
+- The primary subtitle slot stays reserved for Japanese: a source that only has, say, English subtitles gets them added with a normalized language tag (`English` → `en`) but not selected, so the regular `secondarySub` auto-load can route them to the secondary slot instead.
+- HLS streams pass through a local strip proxy that removes fake image headers some hosts glue onto their video segments and gives disguised segment URLs (`.image`, `.jpg`, `.css`, and other rotating fake extensions) a media-safe local alias, so those streams play in mpv and support Anki audio and image extraction with current ffmpeg releases. Upstream responses use identity encoding so playlists remain readable for URL rewriting.
+- The strip proxy retries a failed segment fetch once after a short pause and logs upstream error statuses; a host that errors on the very first fetches right after an episode resolves no longer kills the whole playback, disconnecting clients release their active upstream fetch instead of consuming the socket and bandwidth in the background, stalled response bodies retain the upstream inactivity timeout, and only origin-form requests can reach the configured local bridge.
+- The strip proxy no longer forwards `Range` headers to the bridge: ffmpeg opens every HLS segment with `Range: bytes=0-`, the bridge answers some of those with 206, and a partial response bypassed the disguise strip, so whether an episode played depended on the bridge's cache state.
+- A bridge that dies out from under the app (killed, crashed, or stopped mid-operation) no longer leaves the browser failing every request until an app restart: the exit is detected, surfaced in the status bar, and the bridge restarts on the next request.
+- "Playing" is only reported once mpv actually configures a video output; slow streams remain loading while mpv opens them, and failed streams show mpv's error.
+- The bridge bundle is downloaded from the newest upstream release that ships a bundle for the platform (skipping releases older than the oldest server SubMiner is known to work with), the same way Mangatan fetches it, so all four published bundles (macOS arm64 and x64, Linux x64, Windows x64) work without a maintainer hashing each one first.
+- The Extensions tab's available list has a language chip row: pick one or more languages to narrow a repository index that otherwise lists every language it knows, or "All" to clear the filter. Rows name the language ("Japanese" instead of `ja`) and the Available heading counts what the filter leaves.
+- A stream's subtitle tracks are downloaded to a temp directory and loaded into mpv as files rather than streamed from the source URL, so they can serve as the alass reference in Subsync the way Jellyfin subtitles do. The format is detected from the file's own content, a track that fails to download falls back to its URL so the episode still plays, and the directory is removed when the next episode starts or the app exits.
+- An episode launched from the browser carries its series, season and episode number through the app instead of a single joined string: stats group by series (every stream previously landed in one entry named `m3u8`), rewatching reuses the existing entry, the Jimaku and TsukiHime modals prefill Title/Season/Episode from the source's own listing, AniList updates use those fields directly, and the mpv title reads `Series S03E04 - Episode Name`.
+- Opening the browser shows a tray icon on every platform and — on macOS — puts the app in the Cmd+Tab switcher and Dock, so you can switch between it and mpv; the Dock icon is released again when the window closes during playback. Launching a video starts a regular SubMiner session, and in `subminer anime` standalone mode closing the window during playback no longer quits the app and kills the stream.
+- The episode list has a filter box: type an episode number (`12`), a range (`12-18`), or part of an episode name to narrow a long list, with a `6 of 25` counter while it is applied. Escape inside the box clears the filter instead of leaving the detail page.
+- Episodes already watched are dimmed and marked in the episode list, with a watched count in the header. The marks come from the stats history playback already writes (an episode is marked once a session passes the completion threshold), so they match the stats window and survive the stream URL changing between playbacks. They refresh when the browser window comes back to the front, and stay empty when immersion tracking is disabled.
+- Right-clicking an episode opens a menu for marking it watched or unwatched by hand, plus "Mark this and N below watched/unwatched" for the episode and every episode listed under it. Sources list newest first, so a span covers the back catalogue, which is how a series watched elsewhere gets caught up. A filter never narrows what a span covers, and the status bar reports how many episodes were touched.
+- Marking an episode that was never played creates its stats row, carrying the same series, season and episode fields playback would have recorded. Both stats library views join the lifetime tables, so a manual mark does not show up there as watch time nobody spent, and clearing a mark creates nothing.
+- Episodes can be queued instead of replacing what is playing. Every episode row has **Play** and **Queue** buttons (clicking the row still plays now), the right-click menu offers the same two, and a queued episode shows its place in line ("next up", "#2 in queue") with a queue count and **Clear queue** in the episode header. The queue spans anime, resolves and appends each episode to mpv's real playlist as soon as it is queued while subtitle tracks cache in the background, so next/previous navigation works immediately and the next episode starts without a resolution pause when the current one ends. Queueing with nothing playing just plays.
+- Added an in-player Anime Browser modal on `Ctrl+Alt+A`. The shortcut toggles it without losing its page or scroll position. It stays within the player bounds and shares the active episode, playback queue, source configuration, and watch history with the standalone browser, while each surface keeps independent search and navigation state. The modal validates its embedded page before changing overlay state, so a load setup failure leaves it closed rather than revealing a broken modal. The SubMiner logo identifies the Anime Browser in both the modal and standalone window.
+- The bridge is reused from a package-manager install when one exists: on Arch the AUR `mangatan-extension-server` package (shared with Mangatan) is picked up from `/usr/share/mangatan/extension_server`, so nothing is downloaded and pacman keeps it current. `anime.bridgeDir` points SubMiner at a bundle anywhere else. `subminer-bin` lists the package as an optional dependency.
+- Once the bridge is running, SubMiner checks GitHub for a newer release, including for AUR and custom installations. AUR update notices direct users to their AUR helper; custom installs get manual-update guidance. Only SubMiner-managed copies offer an **Update to vX** button. The new release is downloaded beside the running bridge, then the bridge restarts on it. The updater waits for a bridge still starting to stop and keeps the previous bundle until the replacement is active. The Extensions tab shows the bridge version, where it lives, and who updates it without describing an unchecked install as current.
+- The detail page keeps its episode list when only the details call fails: the episodes render with a "Details unavailable" note and the error in the status bar, instead of an empty page.

-- Season 2 and later files now resolve to the right AniList entry. AniList has no numbered seasons (sequels are separate entries titled `Zoku`, `Kan`, `2nd Season`), so the old `<title> Season N` search returned nothing and silently fell back to the season 1 entry: an Oregairu S03 episode loaded the season 1 character dictionary and pushed watch progress onto season 1. SubMiner now searches the base title and walks AniList `SEQUEL` relations to reach the requested season, ordering the franchise's TV entries by air date when the relation chain is incomplete.

-- Added a "Delete Entry" action to the stats Library detail view. It removes the whole title in one step — every episode, session, subtitle line, rollup, cover art and vocabulary counts derived from them — and the title disappears from the Library grid. Previously only individual episodes and sessions could be deleted, so a mistakenly created entry had to be cleared episode by episode and still lingered in the library.
-- Deletion progress is now shown app-wide instead of only on Overview and Sessions. Every delete (session, session group, episode, and library entry) drives a sweeping bar at the top of the window plus a bottom-right status toast, and both stay visible across tab switches, detail views, and the in-app stats overlay window. The per-tab indicators previously went blank the moment you left the tab that started the delete.

-- Made deleting stats data much faster and stopped it stalling playback. Every delete used to recompute each affected word's totals by re-reading that word's whole occurrence history across the library, which meant one random read into the largest table per occurrence. On a 960-session library that cost 3.8s to delete a single session and over a minute to clear a 12-episode title, and because the stats server runs in the app process when the app owns it, that time was spent blocking mpv.
-- Word and kanji occurrences now store the subtitle line's timestamp alongside the count, so those totals are answered from a covering index instead of the subtitle-line table, and a delete only subtracts what it actually removed rather than recomputing untouched entries. Measured on the same 960-session library: deleting one session 3832ms to 190ms, a ten-session day group 6453ms to 433ms, one episode 5437ms to 263ms, and a whole 12-episode title 60556ms to 621ms.
-- Opening the Vocabulary tab no longer stalls either. It was computing "seen in N titles" for every word in the library before ordering by frequency and keeping the top 100, so the whole occurrence history was walked to produce one page. It now picks the page first and counts only those rows: 2136ms to 62ms on the same library.
-- The first launch after upgrading migrates the existing stats database in place (about 3s for a 288k-line library) and it grows roughly 20% from the added index. Vocabulary dates recorded before the upgrade keep working while the migration runs.

+- Subsync no longer fails with `Protocol "file:" not supported` on a subtitle that was dropped onto mpv. mpv reports such a track as a percent-encoded `file://` URL, which subsync read as a stream and tried to fetch over HTTP; the URL is now decoded back to its path, so both the retimed target and an alass reference work. A `file://` video path is treated as local too, which restores the video reference and ffsubsync for a dropped file.

+type: fixed
+area: subsync

+- Subsync now works when mpv loaded a subtitle track from a URL, which is how Aniyomi extension streams and Jellyfin add theirs. The track is downloaded to a temporary file first — reusing mpv's own request headers, so authenticated and referer-gated hosts stay reachable — instead of being rejected with "Subtitle file not found: https://…". This applies to both the sync target and the alass reference, so a Jimaku or TsukiHime download can be retimed against a stream's own subtitles. Internal tracks of a stream also pass mpv's headers through to `ffmpeg`.
+- Alass now works on tracks that arrive as WebVTT, which is what Aniyomi extension streams serve. Alass picks its parser from the file extension and has no WebVTT support, so it treated a `.vtt` reference as a video file and failed with "no audio stream in file". Both the target and the reference are rewritten as SRT for alass, keeping the cue text as-is, and the originals are left untouched.
+- Leaving `subsync.alass_path`, `ffsubsync_path`, or `ffmpeg_path` empty now actually auto-discovers the binary, as the config help has always claimed. Previously it fell back to a hard-coded `/usr/bin/<tool>`, which does not exist on macOS and broke subsync for every default-config install there. Discovery searches `PATH` plus the usual install prefixes (a GUI launch inherits a minimal `PATH`) and accepts `alass-cli` as well as `alass`. An explicitly configured path is still used verbatim and never silently substituted.
+- Subsync failures are written to the application log. Previously the only trace was an OSD toast that vanished after a few seconds, leaving nothing to diagnose from.

-- Added cross-machine immersion sync for stats and watch history over SSH, available as a window (**Sync Stats & History** in the tray menu, or `subminer sync --ui`) and as a command (`subminer sync <host>`, with `--push` / `--pull` for one-way insert-only transfers). The window keeps saved devices with per-host direction, one-click sync with live stage-by-stage progress and separate merge summaries for each machine, connection testing for first-time setup, cancellable runs while the app/stats server/playback is active, and manual database snapshots (create/merge/reveal/delete, stored in `/tmp/subminer-db-snapshots/` by default). Hosts with auto-sync enabled sync in the background on a configurable interval, including during playback, with results reported as overlay notifications; hosts synced from the CLI are remembered in `<config dir>/sync-hosts.json` and appear in the window automatically.
-- Merges are an insert-only union keyed on session UUIDs / video keys / series title keys, so re-syncing is idempotent and nothing is double-counted: each side snapshots its database (`VACUUM INTO`) from a consistent WAL point, snapshots are exchanged with `scp`, and each machine merges the other's data transactionally. Lifetime totals and daily/monthly rollups are updated incrementally (history older than the session retention window is preserved), unfinished sessions are excluded until a later sync sees them finalized, and remote-only historical rollups are copied only when they do not conflict with retained local session history. Sync aborts on stats schema version mismatches and refuses to run while the stats daemon or a live mpv session is active (`--force` overrides).
-- The sync engine runs only inside the app: the sync window and the `subminer sync` command both delegate to `SubMiner --sync-cli` (headless, works over SSH with no display), so neither machine needs bun or the command-line launcher. A remote machine only needs SubMiner itself, found automatically as the app binary or via the launcher proxy.
-- Windows remotes are supported: sync detects the remote shell (POSIX, cmd, or PowerShell) and manages remote temp files through SubMiner itself (`sync --make-temp` / `--remove-temp`) instead of `mktemp` / `rm`, so a Windows machine with the built-in OpenSSH Server works as a sync remote, found in its default Windows install location automatically.
-- Added supporting flags: `subminer sync <host> --check` tests the SSH connection and remote launcher availability without syncing, `subminer sync --snapshot <file>` and `--merge <file>` expose the underlying steps for manual transfers, and `subminer sync --json` emits machine-readable NDJSON progress (the protocol the sync window consumes).
