test(hachidori): expect the hachidori tag in the parser Anki check

fix(hachidori): keep the hachidori tag alongside SubMiner's Anki tags
- Untouched default templates now get configured tags plus `hachidori` instead of replacing it - Tags edited in Hachidori settings are left as written - Update Anki integration docs and changelog fragment

 # Changelog

+## v0.20.1 (2026-10-03)
+
+### Added
+- **YouTube Browser Window**:
+  - Browse YouTube with your login kept across restarts. Open it with `subminer youtube`, `subminer yt`, or tray **Browse YouTube**.
+  - Clicking a video plays it in mpv. Middle-click, Shift/Ctrl-click, or the right-click menu adds it to mpv's playlist.
+  - Queued videos get the same Japanese subtitle setup, and the rest of the queue is kept on Windows.
+  - Closing the window quits a SubMiner started by `subminer youtube`.
+- **Whisper Subtitles for YouTube**:
+  - Set `youtube.subtitleSource` to `whisper` to transcribe YouTube videos with Whisper instead of using YouTube's captions.
+  - The video stays paused while Whisper transcribes, and the subtitle generation modal shows progress.
+  - The subtitle generation modal (`Ctrl+Shift+G`) now works on YouTube videos, including Windows stream playback.
+- **Scroll Wheel and Mouse Bindings**: `keybindings` now accepts scroll wheel keys, and the settings key editor can capture them. Mouse button and wheel bindings from mpv now work while the cursor is over the overlay, including on Hyprland.
+- **Run Commands from Session Help**: During playback, press `Enter` or double-click a row in session help to run that command.
+
+### Changed
+- **Release Assets**: Releases no longer include package-size reports.
+
+### Fixed
+- **Hyprland Overlay**: The overlay stays clickable after mpv goes fullscreen with `mpv.backend: x11`, and it no longer interrupts mpv while mpv enters fullscreen.
+- **mpv Key Bindings**: Bindings from mpv such as `9`/`0` for volume now work while the overlay has focus, even if the overlay loaded before mpv connected.
+- **Jellyfin**:
+  - The Japanese subtitle track is selected as soon as it downloads, without waiting for the other tracks.
+  - Japanese and English tracks are auto-selected on episodes whose embedded subtitles are images.
+  - Timing review previews and mined card audio use the audio track you are playing.
+- **Media Timing Review**: Trim handles are now thin lines on the clip edges, and original subtitle boundaries no longer cover the waveform. The preview cursor no longer stutters on macOS with Bluetooth headphones.
+- **YouTube Subtitles**: Japanese subtitles no longer fail with "HTTP 429" on videos where YouTube also lists a machine-translated Japanese track.
+- **Stats**:
+  - Mined cards are counted once in session and lifetime stats.
+  - Word and kanji dates and the new-words charts stay accurate after deleting sessions. Existing data is repaired in the background.
+  - Overview totals, charts, and the activity calendar refresh after deleting sessions.
+- **Yomitan Data Safety**: Electron is updated to 43.7.7. SubMiner now refuses to load your Yomitan data with an unsupported or downgraded runtime. Automatic character dictionary changes stop if Yomitan suddenly reports no dictionaries.
+- **AppImage in Sandboxes**: The AppImage now opens its window when launched in a sandbox such as `firejail --appimage`.
+- **Ctrl+C Crash**: SubMiner no longer crashes with "write EPIPE" when the terminal command that started it is stopped with Ctrl+C.
+
+### Docs
+- **Docs Site**: The docs site is shorter and easier to scan, with a key and default table for each config block. Outdated pages were corrected, and the MeCab install command for Arch Linux is fixed.
+- **Stats Docs**: The docs now cover the Overview refresh after deleting sessions and how discovery dates are kept after old sessions are pruned.
+
+<details>
+<summary>Internal changes</summary>
+
+### Internal
+- **Release Notes**: Release notes and `CHANGELOG.md` are now generated as short items per feature or area.
+- **Dev Profile**: Development launches use a separate `SubMiner-dev` profile unless production-profile access is requested.
+- **Dependencies**: undici is updated to 7.29.1 to clear the security advisories that were blocking CI.
+- **Package Checks**: CI no longer compares package sizes. Package content checks still run.

@@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ 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.
- `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.
+- `CHANGELOG.md`, GitHub release notes, and prerelease notes all use one item per feature or area, inline by default: `- **Name**: one or two short sentences.` Items with several separate changes may use a few short nested bullets instead of a run-on sentence. Items say what changed and how to reach it; implementation details, edge cases, and step-by-step usage belong in the docs, not the release body.
 - `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.

+- Added a bundled Hachidori dictionary backend alongside the default Yomitan backend. Select it with `dictionaryBackend` and restart SubMiner.
+- The tray and dictionary-settings shortcut follow the selected backend. `--hachidori` opens Hachidori settings, while `--yomitan` opens Yomitan settings unless a read-only external Yomitan profile is configured. This restriction also applies with Hachidori active, without blocking Hachidori settings.
+- Hachidori integrates with subtitle scanning, popup controls, lookup tracking, character dictionaries, and Anki media enrichment, with separate dictionaries and settings for each backend. Character dictionaries reach a linked host over the link (Hachidori 0.2.3 or later, or a current Docker host), retry busy imports, and replace the previous dictionary only after a successful import. Older hosts report where to import the dictionary manually.
+- Hachidori auto-populates its first Anki template from SubMiner's deck, tags (kept alongside its own `hachidori` tag), and field mappings, detects an unambiguous matching note type, and preserves existing custom templates apart from the deck, which follows `ankiConnect.deck` so polling mode enriches Hachidori cards. Anki discovery retries after an unavailable connection.
+- Hachidori saves downloadable word audio before sending a note through SubMiner's Anki proxy, so freshly mined animated cards include the word-audio delay.
+- Both bundled dictionary backends reload their background code on startup so extension updates take effect while preserving installed dictionaries and settings. Failed Yomitan connection-setting updates can be retried without manually resetting the managed Anki endpoint.
+- First-run setup remembers each backend that finished it, including when reopened for legacy plugin cleanup, so switching back does not repeat setup, and the launcher gates playback on the backend the running app started with. Current incomplete or cancelled setup takes precedence over stale completion history. A running Yomitan session keeps using its external profile until it restarts into Hachidori.
+- Stats dashboard mining and deck lookup use the selected backend, with the Anki proxy enabled or disabled. Dashboard cards retain the selected history line and media instead of being processed again with the current mpv subtitle, with both Yomitan and Hachidori. Stats cards carry a `SubMiner::Stats` tag so polling also preserves their context. Hachidori word mining supplies dictionary aliases, IDs, and frequency metadata to its native Anki renderer. Settings labels for popup pause and the dictionary deck no longer name Yomitan, and the backend selector sits with the other dictionary settings.
+- Hachidori scans, dictionary counts, and settings reads wait for the dictionary engine to finish loading or importing instead of caching empty results.
+- Character dictionary imports report completion as soon as the archive is read instead of waiting out the temporary server's keep-alive timeout.
+- First-run setup can link an external Hachidori dictionary host in an app, browser, or Docker container, verify its library, and unlink back to local dictionaries. The optional host controls are collapsed by default and explain which apps or containers must stay running. Unresponsive connection checks time out so setup remains usable. Anki mining, media enrichment, and custom toolbar buttons stay in SubMiner, including when editing buttons while linked.
+- Hachidori frequency highlighting reuses dictionary-entry ranks and fills missing ranks through its existing API. Entries without a matching definition may remain unranked. The bundled integration is maintained in a pinned fork submodule using upstream HoshiDicts and WASM binaries.

+
+- The deck always follows `ankiConnect.deck`, because polling only looks for new cards in that deck.
+- While the template still has Hachidori's default `hachidori` tag, the configured tags are added ahead of it so cards carry both. Tags you edit in Hachidori settings are kept as written.
+- Missing word, sentence, pronunciation-audio, and picture mappings are filled with fields that exist in Anki. Pronunciation uses `fields.wordAudio`, or `fields.audio` when no word-audio field is set.
+- If the note type is unset, SubMiner picks the one note type that has your word and sentence fields. Enabled Lapis, Kiku, or Senren narrows the search. A fresh mapping also gets Hachidori's matching preset for readings, definitions, and other known fields.
+
+Apart from the deck, SubMiner only fills missing settings. Custom tags, field mappings, advanced templates, and extra templates stay as you set them. If several note types match, pick one in Hachidori Settings. If Anki was closed, start it and open Hachidori Settings again to retry.
+
+Sentence audio, image timing, translation, metadata, and field grouping stay under SubMiner's control. Pronunciation sources are set in Hachidori. Linking an external dictionary host does not change any of this.

+## v0.20.1 (2026-10-03)
+
+**Added**
+- **YouTube Browser Window**:
+  - Browse YouTube with your login kept across restarts. Open it with `subminer youtube`, `subminer yt`, or tray **Browse YouTube**.
+  - Clicking a video plays it in mpv. Middle-click, Shift/Ctrl-click, or the right-click menu adds it to mpv's playlist.
+  - Queued videos get the same Japanese subtitle setup, and the rest of the queue is kept on Windows.
+  - Closing the window quits a SubMiner started by `subminer youtube`.
+- **Whisper Subtitles for YouTube**:
+  - Set `youtube.subtitleSource` to `whisper` to transcribe YouTube videos with Whisper instead of using YouTube's captions.
+  - The video stays paused while Whisper transcribes, and the subtitle generation modal shows progress.
+  - The subtitle generation modal (`Ctrl+Shift+G`) now works on YouTube videos, including Windows stream playback.
+- **Scroll Wheel and Mouse Bindings**: `keybindings` now accepts scroll wheel keys, and the settings key editor can capture them. Mouse button and wheel bindings from mpv now work while the cursor is over the overlay, including on Hyprland.
+- **Run Commands from Session Help**: During playback, press `Enter` or double-click a row in session help to run that command.
+
+**Changed**
+- **Release Assets**: Releases no longer include package-size reports.
+
+**Fixed**
+- **Hyprland Overlay**: The overlay stays clickable after mpv goes fullscreen with `mpv.backend: x11`, and it no longer interrupts mpv while mpv enters fullscreen.
+- **mpv Key Bindings**: Bindings from mpv such as `9`/`0` for volume now work while the overlay has focus, even if the overlay loaded before mpv connected.
+- **Jellyfin**:
+  - The Japanese subtitle track is selected as soon as it downloads, without waiting for the other tracks.
+  - Japanese and English tracks are auto-selected on episodes whose embedded subtitles are images.
+  - Timing review previews and mined card audio use the audio track you are playing.
+- **Media Timing Review**: Trim handles are now thin lines on the clip edges, and original subtitle boundaries no longer cover the waveform. The preview cursor no longer stutters on macOS with Bluetooth headphones.
+- **YouTube Subtitles**: Japanese subtitles no longer fail with "HTTP 429" on videos where YouTube also lists a machine-translated Japanese track.
+- **Stats**:
+  - Mined cards are counted once in session and lifetime stats.
+  - Word and kanji dates and the new-words charts stay accurate after deleting sessions. Existing data is repaired in the background.
+  - Overview totals, charts, and the activity calendar refresh after deleting sessions.
+- **Yomitan Data Safety**: Electron is updated to 43.7.7. SubMiner now refuses to load your Yomitan data with an unsupported or downgraded runtime. Automatic character dictionary changes stop if Yomitan suddenly reports no dictionaries.
+- **AppImage in Sandboxes**: The AppImage now opens its window when launched in a sandbox such as `firejail --appimage`.
+- **Ctrl+C Crash**: SubMiner no longer crashes with "write EPIPE" when the terminal command that started it is stopped with Ctrl+C.
+
+**Docs**
+- **Docs Site**: The docs site is shorter and easier to scan, with a key and default table for each config block. Outdated pages were corrected, and the MeCab install command for Arch Linux is fixed.
+- **Stats Docs**: The docs now cover the Overview refresh after deleting sessions and how discovery dates are kept after old sessions are pruned.

 ### Yomitan setup

-Lookups need at least one dictionary in SubMiner's bundled Yomitan. First-run setup asks you to import one. To add more later, open Yomitan settings with `Alt+Shift+Y` or `subminer app --yomitan`.
+Lookups need at least one dictionary in SubMiner's bundled Yomitan (or in Hachidori, if you [switched backends](#hachidori-setup)). First-run setup asks you to import one. To add more later, open Yomitan settings with `Alt+Shift+Y` or `subminer app --yomitan`.

 The bundled Yomitan is separate from any Yomitan in your browser. It has its own dictionaries and settings.

+### Hachidori setup
+
+Hachidori is an alternative lookup backend. Set `dictionaryBackend` to `"hachidori"` in settings or `config.jsonc`, then restart SubMiner. Set it back to `"yomitan"` and restart to switch back.
+
+Open Hachidori settings with `Alt+Shift+Y`, the tray's **Open Hachidori Settings**, or `subminer app --hachidori`. Import dictionary ZIPs or use Hachidori's recommended dictionary installer, then set up its Anki template (SubMiner [fills in what it can](/anki-integration#hachidori-settings-from-subminer)). Yomitan and Hachidori keep separate dictionaries and settings. Yomitan profiles, custom Handlebars templates, and `yomitan.externalProfilePath` do not carry over. Subtitle annotations and lookups wait while Hachidori imports a dictionary, so large imports pause them until the import finishes.
+
+Hachidori uses SubMiner's subtitle scanning, popup pause, controller commands, character dictionaries, and Anki media. Keep the [Anki proxy](/anki-integration#proxy-mode-setup-yomitan-texthooker) on for screenshots and sentence audio. Hachidori's own screen recorder and screenshot capture are off inside SubMiner. `startupWarmups.yomitanExtension` and `subtitleStyle.autoPauseVideoOnYomitanPopup` apply to whichever backend is selected.
+
+Switching backends:
+
+- First-run setup asks for dictionaries the first time you switch to a backend. Switching back to a backend that already finished setup skips it.
+- Until you restart, SubMiner keeps running the backend it started with. The launcher waits for that backend before playback and logs a restart reminder.
+- `--yomitan` and `--hachidori` both work whichever backend is selected. Opening settings does not switch backends.
+- When `yomitan.externalProfilePath` is set, `--yomitan` is disabled to keep the external profile read-only. Hachidori settings still open.
+
+#### External dictionary host
+
+First-run setup can link a Hachidori host instead of using local dictionaries: **Dictionary source → Use an external dictionary host → Link host**. Turn on sharing in the other Hachidori app or browser, or start a compatible Docker host, then enter its sharing address, for example `127.0.0.1:8771` or `ws://host:8771/link`. Use the WebSocket sharing port, not the management page or HTTP API port.
+
+| Host     | Must be running                             |
+| -------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| Browser  | The browser, the Hachidori extension, relay |
+| Electron | The host app and any relay it needs         |
+| Docker   | The container only                          |
+
+Setup checks the connection and the host's dictionaries before **Finish** unlocks, so import at least one dictionary on the host and refresh. The link survives restarts. **Unlink and use local dictionaries** goes back to local.
+
+While linked, dictionaries and dictionary settings come from the host. Anki templates, pronunciation sources, custom buttons, and SubMiner's audio and image processing stay local. Frequency annotations use ranks returned with dictionary entries, and SubMiner asks the host for missing ones. Words with no matching definition entry may stay unranked even if a frequency dictionary lists them.
+
+SubMiner sends [character dictionaries](/character-dictionary) to the linked host over the link and replaces the previous one once the import succeeds, retrying while the host is busy. The host needs Hachidori 0.2.3 or later, or a current Docker host. With an older host, sync reports where the merged ZIP is so you can import it from that host's Hachidori settings.

-## Optimization 1: Subtitle Prefetching
-
-### Summary
-
-A new `SubtitlePrefetchService` parses external subtitle files and tokenizes upcoming lines in the background before they appear on screen. This converts most cache misses into cache hits during normal playback.
-
-### Scope
-
-External subtitle files only (SRT, VTT, ASS). Embedded subtitle tracks are out of scope since Japanese subtitles are virtually always external files.
-
-### Architecture
-
-#### Subtitle File Parsing
-
-A cue parser extracts both timing and text content from subtitle files for prefetching.
-
-**Parsed cue structure:**
-
-```typescript
-interface SubtitleCue {
-  startTime: number; // seconds
-  endTime: number; // seconds
-  text: string; // plain text, decoded from the source format
-  source?: 'canonical-ass'; // recovered authored text for generated ASS animation
-  animationStartTime?: number; // full generated-frame envelope; entrance/exit frames
-  animationEndTime?: number; //   run past the authored timing, live matching uses this
-}
-```
-
-**Supported formats:**
-
- SRT/VTT: Regex-based parsing of timing lines + text content between timing blocks.
- ASS: Parse the `[Events]` section, read the field order from the `Format:` row, and extract timed `Dialogue:` lines. Timed `Comment:` lines are normally ignored, but can supply canonical authored text when they match a nearby generated animation from the same style and actor. Text can itself contain commas.
-
-**ASS decoding.** The parser is where ASS text is decoded, once, via `assToPlainText()` in `src/core/services/ass-text.ts`. That decoder mirrors mpv's `ass_to_plaintext` so a cue read from a file reads identically to the same line arriving live on `sub-text`: `{...}` override blocks are markup, `\pN … \p0` vector drawing runs are dropped rather than shown as text, `\N`/`\n`/`\h` are the only escapes (`\{`, `\}` and `\\` are not), and an unclosed `{` is rendered verbatim. Every layer downstream — renderer, timing tracker, tokenizer, tokenization cache keys — receives plain text and uses `normalizePlainSubtitleText()` for whitespace only, so nothing decodes the same string twice and one authored line always maps to one cache key.
-
-**Duplicate collapsing.** Typeset scripts emit one `Dialogue:` event per animation frame, plus layered copies of the same line. The parser collapses identical text over an identical span unconditionally, and collapses contiguous same-text runs of at least three events when the run looks like an animation. For ASS that means shared style and actor plus authoring evidence: a temporal tag (`\t`, `\move`, `\k`/`\kf`/`\ko`/`\K`, or anything wrapped in `\t(...)`), an animated `Effect` column (`Karaoke`, `Banner`, `Scroll`), or override values that change across the run. Static tags shared by every event (`\pos`, an identical `\clip`) are not evidence. SRT/VTT carry no such metadata, so there collapsing needs at least five contiguous events all under 0.1s — the frame timing left behind by ASS-to-SRT conversion. The parser keeps this authoring metadata (style, actor, layer, `Effect`, parsed override commands, source order) private; `parseSubtitleCues()` returns only `SubtitleCue`.
-
-ASS scripts can also redraw one complete lyric for two or more long color/highlight phases. Those flush-timed phases collapse separately from short animation frames when they share text, style, actor, and layer and carry direct animation evidence, such as temporal tags or changing non-spatial overrides. Spatial command changes do not prove a phase, so separately positioned signs remain distinct.
-
-**Canonical animation recovery.** Some ASS producers keep the readable lyric or sign as a timed `Comment:` and generate hundreds of `Dialogue:` frames containing repeated glyphs or changing clip regions. Others retain the complete line as brief `Dialogue:` events around the generated fragments. A complete event is promoted only when nearby dialogue from the same style and actor forms a proven animation cluster and reconstructs its entire text in source order. The generated frames are then replaced by one cue marked `source: 'canonical-ass'`. This source marker lets the live primary-subtitle path prefer the clean authored text and timing for display, sidebar history, immersion recording, and mining, while unmatched editor notes and alternative translations remain ignored. Secondary selection advances to an entering canonical cue at its generated animation start when the preceding authored cue ends before the new authored span. Unrelated simultaneous cues that continue through the new span remain visible.
-
-**Font texture cleanup.** A clipped repeated-glyph run or frequent changes to secondary alpha marks a texture seed. Clipped runs do not need a font override because some signs build their masks from ordinary `l` glyphs. The parser removes short clipped pieces that share a no-font seed's style and timing, or pieces that share a font seed's style, timing, and font even when the actor changes. It also removes positioned text layers with at least `E0` global alpha when they overlap a seed in the same style. Opaque authored sign text stays publishable when the texture switches fonts or actors around it.
-
-#### Prefetch Service Lifecycle
-
-1. **Activation trigger:** When a subtitle track is activated (or changes), check if it's external via MPV's `track-list` property. If `external === true`, read the file via `external-filename` using the existing `loadSubtitleSourceText` infrastructure.
-2. **Parse phase:** Parse all cues from the file content. Sort by start time. Store as an ordered array.
-3. **Priority window:** Determine the current playback position. Identify the next 10 cues as the priority window.
-4. **Priority tokenization:** Tokenize the priority window cues sequentially, storing results into the `SubtitleProcessingController`'s tokenization cache.
-5. **Background tokenization:** After the priority window is done, tokenize remaining cues working forward from the current position, then wrapping around to cover earlier cues. The prefetcher stops once it has tokenized all cues or the cache is full (whichever comes first) to avoid wasteful eviction churn. For files with more cues than the cache limit, background tokenization focuses on cues ahead of the current position.
-6. **Seek handling:** On seek, re-compute the priority window from the new position. A seek is detected by observing MPV's `time-pos` property and checking if the delta from the last observed position exceeds a threshold (e.g., > 3 seconds forward or any backward jump). The current in-flight tokenization finishes naturally, then the new priority window takes over.
-7. **Teardown:** When the subtitle track changes or playback ends, stop all prefetch work and discard state.
-
-#### Live Priority
-
-The prefetcher and live subtitle handler share the Yomitan parser (single-threaded IPC). Live subtitle requests must always take priority. The prefetcher:
-
- Checks a `paused` flag before each cue tokenization. The live handler sets `paused = true` on subtitle change and clears it after emission.
- Yields between each background cue tokenization (via `setTimeout(0)` or equivalent) so the live handler can set the pause flag between cues.
- When paused, the prefetcher waits (polling the flag on a short interval or awaiting a resume signal) before continuing with the next cue.
-
-#### Cache Integration
-
-The prefetcher calls the same `tokenizeSubtitle` function used by live processing to produce `SubtitleData` results, then stores them into the existing `SubtitleProcessingController` tokenization cache via a new method:
-
-```typescript
-// New methods on SubtitleProcessingController
-preCacheTokenization: (text: string, data: SubtitleData) => void;
-isCacheFull: () => boolean;
-```
-
-`preCacheTokenization` uses the same `setCachedTokenization` logic internally (LRU eviction, Map-based storage). `isCacheFull` returns `true` when the cache has reached its limit, allowing the prefetcher to stop background tokenization and avoid wasteful eviction churn.
-
-#### Cache Invalidation
-
-When the user marks a word as known (or any event triggers `invalidateTokenizationCache()`), all cached results are cleared -- including prefetched ones, since they share the same cache. After invalidation, the prefetcher re-computes the priority window from the current playback position and re-tokenizes those cues to restore warm cache state.
-
-#### Error Handling
-
-If the subtitle file is malformed or partially parseable, the cue parser uses what it can extract. A file that yields zero cues disables prefetching silently (falls back to live-only processing). Encoding errors from `loadSubtitleSourceText` are caught and logged; prefetching is skipped for that track.
-
-#### Integration Points
-
- **MPV property subscriptions:** Needs `track-list` (to detect external subtitle file path) and `time-pos` (to track playback position for window calculation and seek detection).
- **File loading:** Uses existing `loadSubtitleSourceText` dependency.
- **Tokenization:** Calls the same `tokenizeSubtitle` function used by live processing.
- **Cache:** Writes into `SubtitleProcessingController`'s cache.
- **Cache invalidation:** Listens for cache invalidation events to re-prefetch the priority window.
-

-## Optimization 2: Batched Annotation Pass
-
-### Summary
-
-Collapse the 4 sequential annotation passes (`applyKnownWordMarking` -> `applyFrequencyMarking` -> `applyJlptMarking` -> `markNPlusOneTargets`) into a single iteration over the token array, followed by N+1 marking.
-
-**Important context:** Frequency rank _values_ (`token.frequencyRank`) are already assigned at the parser level by `applyFrequencyRanks()` in `tokenizer.ts`, before the annotation stage is called. The annotation stage's `applyFrequencyMarking` only performs POS-based _filtering_ -- clearing `frequencyRank` to `undefined` for tokens that should be excluded (particles, noise tokens, etc.) and normalizing valid ranks. This optimization does not change the parser-level frequency rank assignment; it only batches the annotation-level filtering.
-
-### Current Flow (4 passes, 4 array copies)
-
-```text
-tokens (already have frequencyRank values from parser-level applyFrequencyRanks)
-  -> applyKnownWordMarking()   // .map() -> new array
-  -> applyFrequencyMarking()   // .map() -> new array (POS-based filtering only)
-  -> applyJlptMarking()        // .map() -> new array
-  -> markNPlusOneTargets()     // .map() -> new array
-```
-
-### Dependency Analysis
-
-All annotations either depend on MeCab POS data or benefit from running after it:
-
- **Known word marking:** Needs base tokens (surface/headword). No POS dependency, but no reason to run separately.
- **Frequency filtering:** Uses `pos1Exclusions` and `pos2Exclusions` to clear frequency ranks on excluded tokens (particles, noise). Depends on MeCab POS data.
- **JLPT marking:** Uses `shouldIgnoreJlptForMecabPos1` to filter. Depends on MeCab POS data.
- **N+1 marking:** Uses POS exclusion sets to filter candidates. Depends on known word status + MeCab POS.
-
-Since frequency filtering and JLPT marking both depend on POS data from MeCab enrichment, and MeCab enrichment already happens before the annotation stage, all four can run in a single pass after MeCab completes.
-
-### New Flow (1 pass + N+1)
-
-```typescript
-function annotateTokens(tokens, deps, options): MergedToken[] {
-  const pos1Exclusions = resolvePos1Exclusions(options);
-  const pos2Exclusions = resolvePos2Exclusions(options);
-
-  // Single pass: known word + frequency filtering + JLPT computed together
-  const annotated = tokens.map((token) => {
-    const isKnown = nPlusOneEnabled ? token.isKnown || computeIsKnown(token, deps) : false;
-
-    // Filter frequency rank using POS exclusions (rank values already set at parser level)
-    const frequencyRank = frequencyEnabled
-      ? filterFrequencyRank(token, pos1Exclusions, pos2Exclusions)
-      : undefined;
-
-    const jlptLevel = jlptEnabled ? computeJlptLevel(token, deps.getJlptLevel) : undefined;
-
-    return { ...token, isKnown, frequencyRank, jlptLevel };
-  });
-
-  // N+1 must run after known word status is set for all tokens
-  if (nPlusOneEnabled) {
-    return markNPlusOneTargets(annotated, minSentenceWords, pos1Exclusions, pos2Exclusions);
-  }
-
-  return annotated;
-}
-```
-
-### What Changes
-
- The individual `applyKnownWordMarking`, `applyFrequencyMarking`, `applyJlptMarking` functions are refactored into per-token computation helpers (pure functions that compute a single field). The frequency helper is named `filterFrequencyRank` to clarify it performs POS-based exclusion, not rank computation.
- The `annotateTokens` orchestrator runs one `.map()` call that invokes all three helpers per token.
- `markNPlusOneTargets` remains a separate pass because it needs the full array with `isKnown` set (it examines sentence-level context).
- The parser-level `applyFrequencyRanks()` call in `tokenizer.ts` is unchanged -- it remains a separate step outside the annotation stage.
- Net: 4 array copies + 4 iterations become 1 array copy + 1 iteration + N+1 pass.
-
-### Expected Savings
-
-~15-45ms saved (3 fewer array allocations + 3 fewer full iterations). Annotation drops from ~25-70ms to ~10-25ms.
-
-### Files Affected
-
- **Modified:** `src/core/services/tokenizer/annotation-stage.ts` -- refactor into batched single-pass

-Replace `document.createElement('span')` calls in the renderer with `templateSpan.cloneNode(false)` from a pre-created template element.
-
-### Current Behavior
-
-In `renderWithTokens` (`subtitle-render.ts`), each render cycle:
-
-1. Clears DOM with `innerHTML = ''`
-2. Creates a `DocumentFragment`
-3. Calls `document.createElement('span')` for each token (~10-15 per subtitle)
-4. Sets `className`, `textContent`, `dataset.*` individually
-5. Appends fragment to root
-
-### New Behavior
-
-1. At renderer initialization (`createSubtitleRenderer`), create a single template:
-   ```typescript
-   const templateSpan = document.createElement('span');
-   ```
-2. In `renderWithTokens`, replace every `document.createElement('span')` with:
-   ```typescript
-   const span = templateSpan.cloneNode(false) as HTMLSpanElement;
-   ```
-3. Replace all `innerHTML = ''` calls with `root.replaceChildren()` to avoid the HTML parser invocation on clear. This applies to `renderSubtitle` (primary subtitle root), `renderSecondarySub` (secondary subtitle root), and `renderCharacterLevel` if applicable.
-4. Everything else stays the same (setting className, textContent, dataset, appending to fragment).
-
-### Why cloneNode Over Full Node Recycling
-
-Full recycling (collecting old nodes, clearing attributes, reusing them) requires carefully resetting every `dataset.*` property that might have been set on a previous render. This is error-prone -- a stale `data-frequency-rank` from a previous subtitle appearing on a new token would cause incorrect styling. `cloneNode(false)` on a bare template is nearly as fast and produces a clean node every time.
-
-### Expected Savings
-
-`cloneNode(false)` is ~2-3x faster than `createElement` in most browser engines. For 10-15 tokens per subtitle: ~3-8ms saved per render cycle.
-
-### Files Affected
-
- **Modified:** `src/renderer/subtitle-render.ts` -- template creation + cloneNode usage

 ## Architecture Intent

+The dictionary backend is selected once at startup by `dictionaryBackend`. Yomitan keeps its existing session and external-profile policy. Hachidori uses `persist:hachidori`; overlay windows select that session before extension loading, including deferred startup. Named settings flags can open either backend without injecting a second reader into the active overlay. The detached stats word helper reads the same config key so dashboard mining uses the active backend.
+
+`setup-state.json` records one backend's status at a time plus `completedDictionaryBackends`, the backends that finished setup before. The app projects the file onto its active backend on startup and stamps that backend into the file. The launcher gates playback on the stamped backend when an app is already running, since a config edit takes effect only after restart.
+
+`vendor/hachidori/` is a submodule of `ksyasuda/hachidori`, tracking the `subminer` branch and pinned to a tested commit. Its nested HoshiDicts submodule and WASM binaries remain upstream versions. Initialize sources with `git submodule update --init --recursive`; merge upstream updates in the fork, test them, then update SubMiner's submodule commit. `SOURCE.json` records the upstream base and artifact checksums; the submodule commit identifies the integrated version. `build:hachidori` verifies recorded artifact checksums and stages the extension for development and packaging. It enables overlay mode, disables custom JavaScript, keeps the lookup highlight on in the overlay first-install options (SubMiner captures media from mpv, not the overlay viewport), removes the unsupported `userScripts` permission, and sets a fixed manifest `key` so the extension ID (and the storage origin holding its dictionaries and settings) does not depend on the userData path, only in that staged copy; the fork keeps upstream browser defaults. Before loading the extension, its session clears service worker registrations so Electron uses the current bundled code; dictionary databases and settings remain intact. First-run setup uses Hachidori sharing messages to link or unlink external dictionary hosts and checks their live inventory. Dictionary imports go through Hachidori's chunked upload requests (`hachidori-linked-import`): an unlinked install imports the ZIP itself and a linked one forwards it to its host. Linked hosts that do not advertise `linked-import-v1` (Hachidori before 0.2.3) cannot receive uploads, and the import reports where to import the ZIP by hand. Linked dictionaries and dictionary edits use the host, while Anki configuration, pronunciation sources, custom buttons, and mining stay local to SubMiner. The parser bridge adapts its runtime messages to the existing subtitle scanner and dictionary automation. Scanning retains term-entry frequencies, and only tokens without ranks need further frequency lookups through the existing term-entry API. This requires a matching definition entry and does not preserve the frequency source's reading provenance. SubMiner consumes native `hachidori-popup-shown` and `hachidori-popup-hidden` attention events for mouse handling, keyboard focus, and the subtitle sidebar. Attention also covers a left press anywhere on the overlay that may start a selection, and the host element only exists after the first lookup, so once a Hachidori event has been seen, popup auto-pause, popup key routing, controller lookup state, and the gate on imported mpv keys and mouse buttons require an unhidden popup pane in the host's shadow root. Auto-pause rechecks after each successful lookup. Hachidori's popup lives in the overlay document rather than an iframe, so wheel events over its host scroll the popup instead of forwarding to mpv. The fork retains host attributes, hover and successful-lookup notifications, and commands that need private reader state. The Anki proxy strips local duplicate/overwrite metadata before forwarding requests and enriches only confirmed writes.

+
+Which lanes to run lives in [Verification](./verification.md). This page covers what a
+good test looks like here.
+
+## Test Behavior, Not Wiring
+
+- Exercise a module through its public interface and assert outcomes: return values,
+  resulting state, files written, rows in sqlite, messages sent to a fake process.
+- Prefer real collaborators that are cheap: tmp dirs, in-memory or tmp sqlite, fake
+  executables, pure parsers. Fake only the edges (Electron, mpv socket, network).
+- Assert call order only when order is the behavior (startup sequencing, ABA races),
+  and then assert relative order, not the whole call log.
+
+## Do Not Write
+
+- Pass-through tests: a builder or handler that only forwards deps (`*-main-deps.ts`,
+  `*-runtime-handlers.ts`) needs no test. TypeScript already checks the shape.
+- Source-text tests: reading `.ts`, `.css`, `.html`, `.lua`, `.swift`, or workflow YAML
+  and asserting with regexes. If the invariant matters, extract the logic and run it
+  (see `src/preload-ipc-listeners.ts`). Policy lints over workflow YAML are the
+  exception and belong in one parsed-YAML check.
+- "Stays deleted" tests for removed modules, flags, or selectors. `tsc` and review
+  catch reintroduction.
+- Tests that restate constants, defaults, labels, or window options.
+- The same rule at several layers. Test a rule once where it lives; keep one
+  end-to-end case (for the tokenizer, the golden corpus) for integration.
+
+## Keep Tests Small
+
+- Shared setup goes in a `makeDeps(overrides)` helper or a `*-test-harness.ts` file, not
+  pasted into every test.
+- Near-identical cases become a table: `for (const c of cases) test(c.name, ...)`.
+- Inject timers, clocks, and loggers instead of patching globals or private members.
+- A bug fix gets a regression test for the behavior that broke, named after the
+  behavior, not the ticket.
+
+## Known Debt
+
+- `src/main/main-wiring.test.ts` and `src/renderer/renderer-init-order.test.ts` still
+  regex `main.ts` / `renderer.ts` to guard startup ordering. Replace each test with a
+  behavioral one as the logic moves out of `main.ts` closures.

+## Headless End-to-End Harness
+
+`bun run test:e2e` boots the built app against a real mpv and asserts on what the
+overlay renders and what reaches AnkiConnect. Use it instead of a live desktop test
+whenever the behavior does not depend on a specific compositor.
+
+- Needs an existing `bun run build`, plus `mpv` and `ffmpeg` on `PATH` (and `Xvfb` on
+  Linux). It is not part of `test:fast` or the handoff gate. The `e2e` job in
+  `.github/workflows/ci.yml` runs it on Linux, macOS, and Windows for pull requests and
+  `main`, outside the reusable quality gate, and uploads the session logs when it fails.
+- Every run is sandboxed in a temp dir: its own config and Electron profile, mpv IPC
+  socket, and a fake AnkiConnect on a free port. It never touches the user's running
+  SubMiner, Anki, or stats database. It is not offline: the app still asks AniList for
+  cover art matching the clip's title.
+- Media is synthetic: an ffmpeg test-pattern clip, a three-cue Japanese `.srt`, and a
+  tiny Yomitan dictionary covering those cues (`e2e/harness/fixtures.ts`). The harness
+  imports the dictionary on a first boot, then restarts the app for the scenario.
+- Display: Linux runs everything inside a private Xvfb server, so no window reaches the
+  desktop. macOS and Windows have no offscreen display server, so windows open in the
+  current session there; `SUBMINER_E2E_DISPLAY=host` forces the same on Linux. The
+  CI job runs all three. On macOS and Windows the app pre-creates a hidden modal window
+  that loads the same renderer document, so window matching must include the
+  `layer=visible` query (`OVERLAY_PAGE`).
+- The app is driven over the Chrome DevTools Protocol (DOM queries, input events,
+  per-window screenshots), mpv over its JSON IPC socket, and app commands through the
+  normal CLI handoff (`--mine-sentence`, `--toggle-subtitle-sidebar`, ...).
+- Scenarios live in `e2e/*.e2e.test.ts` and share one session per file through
+  `startE2eSession()`. Pass `config` to override settings for a scenario file.
+- On a failed startup the temp dir is kept and its path is in the error. Set
+  `SUBMINER_E2E_KEEP=1` to keep it after any run (`app-stdio.log`, `app.log`, `mpv.log`).
+
+For exploratory checks, keep one session up and poke at it:
+
+```bash
+bun run e2e start &                 # prints the session JSON, stays up until stopped
+bun run e2e mpv seek 2 absolute+exact
+bun run e2e eval overlay 'document.getElementById("subtitleRoot").textContent'
+bun run e2e shot overlay /tmp/overlay.png
+bun run e2e app --mine-sentence
+bun run e2e anki                    # AnkiConnect requests received so far
+bun run e2e stop
+```
+
+Out of scope: compositor-specific behavior (Hyprland placement, stacking, fullscreen,
+click-through), real GPU video output, and global shortcuts. Xvfb runs without a window
+manager or compositor, so the transparent overlay is not composited over the video;
+check overlay visuals with per-window screenshots, and use the live desktop for the rest.
