chore(release): v0.19.2

- Add overlayBody override to ConfiguredStatusNotificationOptions so overlay/OSD/desktop can diverge
- Extract getSubsyncStatusNotificationOptions() to strip the ASCII spinner frame from the overlay card (OSD keeps it since it renders the raw spinner)
- Add tests for spinner stripping and subsync result notifications

 # Changelog
 
+## 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.

+
+## 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.

+

+| `none`                        | none; flags left as-is  |
+
+The other card-type flags are cleared so a note never claims two card types at once. Notes are skipped when the note type has no field for the chosen flag, and when the note was already mined as a sentence or audio card. Cards created by Mine Sentence and Mine Audio keep their own flag regardless of this setting.

 ## Highlights
-### Added
-- **Anki Maturity Known-Word Highlighting**
-  - Subtitle words you already know can now be color-coded by their Anki card maturity (new, learning, young, mature), like asbplayer's known-word coloring.
-  - Enable it with `ankiConnect.knownWords.maturityEnabled` (or toggle it mid-session); tier colors and the "mature" day threshold are configurable, and the in-session help legend shows the active colors.
-- **Cross-Machine Sync for Stats & Watch History**
-  - Sync immersion stats and watch history between machines over SSH from a new Sync window (tray menu → Sync Stats & History, or `subminer sync --ui`) or the CLI (`subminer sync <host>`).
-  - Save multiple devices with per-host sync direction, run one-click syncs with live progress, and take manual database snapshots for backup or transfer.
-  - Windows remotes are supported over OpenSSH, and hosts can auto-sync in the background on a schedule, even during playback.
-- **History Menu After Playback**
-  - After a watch-history episode ends (or mpv closes), the fzf/rofi launcher now offers to play the previous or next episode, rewatch, pick another episode, or quit, right from where you left off. Previous/Next continue across season folders.
-- **Delete Entire Library Titles from Stats**
-  - The stats Library detail view now has a "Delete Entry" action that removes a whole title in one step, episodes, sessions, subtitle lines, rollups, cover art, and vocabulary counts, instead of clearing it episode by episode.
-  - Delete progress (sessions, episodes, or whole titles) now shows app-wide with a progress bar and status toast visible from any tab or window.
-- **TsukiHime English Subtitle Downloads**
-  - Download subtitles for the currently playing video directly from TsukiHime, with Japanese loaded as the primary track and your configured secondary language alongside it.
-
 ### Changed
-- **Configurable Clipboard-Video Shortcut**
+
-  - The "append clipboard video to queue" shortcut is now configurable via `shortcuts.appendClipboardVideoToQueue` instead of fixed.
+- **Subsync Reference & Target Picker**
+  - You can now choose both sides of a sync run: which subtitle is the timing reference and which one gets retimed.
+  - The video file itself can be used as the reference for local files (audio-based sync), though a subtitle track stays the default.
+  - Works for both alass and ffsubsync, and retiming the secondary subtitle track no longer overwrites your primary one.
 
 ### Fixed
-- **AniList Season Matching**
+
-  - Season 2+ episodes now resolve to the correct AniList entry instead of silently falling back to season 1. SubMiner follows AniList's sequel relations to find the right season, and cover art and watch progress now use the same season-aware match.
+- **Startup Logging**
-  - If a season still can't be found, SubMiner no longer force-writes progress or a cover to the season 1 entry, it skips the update and points you to a manual AniList override, which now fixes the character dictionary and watch progress together.
+  - Background startup now respects your configured log level even when no `--log-level` flag is passed.
-  - Manual overrides now stay applied consistently across every episode in a season folder, even when filenames guess differently episode to episode.
+- **Streaming Subtitle Tokenization**
-- **Subtitle Highlighting Accuracy**
+  - Jellyfin playback now seeds tokenization straight from the downloaded subtitle file, so episodes no longer fall back to slow, line-by-line tokenizing while waiting on playback events.
-  - Fixed several known-word/annotation edge cases: part-of-speech exclusions now apply consistently to merged quote-particle tokens, annotations for rarer kanji are preserved, katakana punctuation is no longer mistaken for plain kana, and a specific noun-tagging case no longer loses its known+1 highlight.
+  - Subtitle cues are no longer dropped when switching to a subtitle track embedded in the stream.
-- **AnkiConnect Proxy Port Conflicts**
+  - Prefetching now runs through the whole episode instead of stopping once the cache filled, and the cache clears between episodes so slowdowns don't carry over to later titles.
-  - Fixed a crash on video startup when another process already held the configured AnkiConnect proxy port; you'll now get a notification explaining how to resolve it instead.
+  - The tokenization cache was expanded from 256 to 2,500 lines, leaving more room for repeated lines (like openings and endings) to stay cached across episodes.
-- **AppImage Crash Notification on Quit**
+- **Subtitle Line Display**
-  - Fixed a spurious "Service Crash" desktop notification appearing after closing a video when running the Linux AppImage.
+  - Subtitle lines now appear immediately at their cue time even if tokenization hasn't finished, upgrading in place with annotations once ready.
-- **Startup Playback Pause Timing**
+  - A failed tokenization attempt is no longer cached as plain text, so the line gets another chance at full annotations later.
-  - Fixed playback occasionally resuming a couple seconds before subtitle tokenization actually finished warming up, most noticeable when resuming mid-episode or when a subtitle appears in the first two seconds.
-- **Stats Library Cover After Relinking**
-  - Fixed the stats Library grid showing a stale cover image after relinking a title to a different AniList entry.
-- **Faster Stats Deletes and Vocabulary Tab**
-  - Deleting sessions, episodes, and titles from stats is now dramatically faster and no longer stalls playback while it runs; the Vocabulary tab also loads much faster.
-  - The first launch after updating runs a one-time database migration (a few seconds, database grows about 20%); no action needed.
-- **Settings Validation and Stats Server Hardening**
-  - Invalid AnkiConnect settings now fall back safely with a warning instead of silently breaking, and the stats server is hardened against malformed requests, stalled AniList searches, and other edge cases that could previously crash it.
-- **Rofi Prompt Spacing**
-  - Fixed rofi menu prompts running into the search placeholder text with no space between them.
