 # Changelog

+## v0.8.0 (2026-03-22)
+
+### Changed
+- Docs: Refreshed the vendored Texthooker docs/index.html bundle to match the latest local build artifacts.
+
+### Fixed
+- Anki: Known-word cache refreshes now reconcile Anki changes incrementally instead of wiping and rebuilding on startup, mined cards can append their word into the cache immediately through a new default-enabled config flag, and explicit refreshes now run through `subminer doctor --refresh-known-words`.
+- Subtitle: Restored known-word coloring and JLPT underlines for subtitle tokens like `大体` when the subtitle token is kanji but the known-word cache only matches the kana reading.
+- Stats: Episode progress in the anime page now uses the last ended playback position instead of cumulative active watch time, avoiding distorted percentages after rewatches or repeated sessions.
+- Stats: Anime episode progress now keeps the latest known playback position through active-session checkpoints and stale-session recovery, so recently watched episodes no longer lose their progress percentage.
+- Stats: Anime episode progress now falls back to the latest retained subtitle/event timing when a session is missing a persisted playback-position checkpoint, so older watch sessions no longer get stuck at `0%` progress.
+- Overlay: Kept subtitle sidebar cue tracking stable across transitions by avoiding cue-line regression on subtitle timing edge cases and stale text updates.
+- Overlay: Improved sidebar config by documenting and exposing layout mode and typography options (`layout`, `fontFamily`, `fontSize`) in the generated documentation flow.
+- Overlay: Added `subtitleSidebar.autoOpen` (default `false`) to open the subtitle sidebar once during overlay startup when the sidebar feature is enabled.
+- Overlay: Made subtitle sidebar resume/start positioning jump directly to the first resolved active cue instead of smooth-scrolling through the full list, while keeping smooth auto-follow for later cue changes.

+## Description
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
+When playback starts from a resumed timestamp while the subtitle sidebar is open, the sidebar currently smooth-scrolls from the top of the cue list to the resumed cue. Change the first resolved active-cue positioning to jump immediately to the resume location while preserving smooth auto-follow for later playback-driven cue advances.
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
+- [x] #1 The first active cue resolved after open/resume uses an instant jump instead of smooth-scrolling through the list.
+- [x] #2 Normal subtitle-sidebar auto-follow remains smooth after the first active cue has been positioned.
+- [x] #3 Regression coverage distinguishes the initial jump behavior from later smooth auto-follow updates.
+<!-- AC:END -->
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:BEGIN -->
+2026-03-21: Fixed by treating the first auto-scroll from `previousActiveCueIndex < 0` as `behavior: 'auto'` in the subtitle sidebar scroll helper. Added renderer regression coverage for initial jump plus later smooth follow.

+## Description
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
+Add a subtitle sidebar config option that auto-opens the sidebar once during overlay startup. The option should default to `false`, only apply when the sidebar feature is enabled, and should not force the sidebar back open later in the same session after manual close or later visibility changes.
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
+- [x] #1 `subtitleSidebar.autoOpen` is available in config with default `false`.

+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:BEGIN -->
+2026-03-21: Added `subtitleSidebar.autoOpen` to types/defaults/config registry and resolver. Renderer bootstrap now calls a startup-only subtitle sidebar helper after the initial snapshot refresh. Modal regression coverage verifies startup auto-open requires both `enabled` and `autoOpen`.

+## Implementation Notes
+
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:BEGIN -->
+Completed follow-up fixes for PR #28:
+- Cleared parsed subtitle cues on subtitle prefetch init failure so stale snapshot cache entries do not survive a failed refresh.
+- Treated primary and secondary subtitle containers as one hover region so moving between them does not resume playback mid-transition.
+- Kept the subtitle sidebar closed when disabled, serialized snapshot polling with timeouts, made cue rows keyboard-activatable, resolved stale cue selection fallback, and resumed hover-paused playback when the modal closes.

+2026-03-21: Reopened to assess a newer CodeRabbit review pass on PR #28 and address any remaining valid action items before push/reply.
+
+2026-03-21: Addressed the latest CodeRabbit follow-up pass in commit d70c6448 after rebasing onto the updated remote branch tip.
+
+2026-03-21: Reopened for the latest CodeRabbit round on commit d70c6448; current actionable item is the invalid ctx.state.isOverSubtitleSidebar assignment in subtitle-sidebar.ts.
+
+2026-03-22: Addressed the live hover-state and startup mouse-ignore follow-ups from the latest CodeRabbit pass. `handleMouseLeave()` now clears `isOverSubtitle` and drops `secondary-sub-hover-active` when leaving the secondary subtitle container toward the primary container, and renderer startup now calls `syncOverlayMouseIgnoreState(ctx)` instead of forcing `setIgnoreMouseEvents(true, { forward: true })`. The sidebar IPC hover catch and CSS spacing comments were already satisfied in the current tree.
+
+2026-03-22: Regenerated `bun.lock` from a clean install so the `electron-builder-squirrel-windows` override now resolves at `26.8.2` in the lockfile alongside `app-builder-lib@26.8.2`.
+
+2026-03-21: Finished the remaining cleanup pass from the latest review. `subtitleSidebar.layout` now uses enum validation, `SubtitleCue` is re-exported from `src/types.ts` as the single public type path, and the subtitle sidebar resize listener now has unload cleanup wired through the renderer.
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:END -->
+
+## Final Summary
+
+<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
+Implemented the confirmed PR #28 CodeRabbit follow-ups for subtitle sidebar behavior and added regression coverage plus verification for the touched renderer and runtime paths.
+
+Handled the latest CodeRabbit review pass for PR #28: accepted zero sidebar opacity, closed/inerted the sidebar when refresh sees config disabled, moved poll rescheduling out of finally, caught hover pause IPC failures, and fixed the stylelint spacing issue.

+## Description
+
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
+On macOS, when both the subtitle overlay and embedded subtitle sidebar are visible, mouse passthrough to mpv can remain stale until the user hovers the sidebar. After closing the sidebar, passthrough can likewise remain stale until the user hovers the subtitle again. Fix the overlay input-state synchronization so passthrough reflects the current hover/open state immediately instead of relying on the last hover target.
+<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
+- [x] #1 When the embedded subtitle sidebar is open and the pointer is not over subtitle or sidebar content, the overlay returns to mouse passthrough immediately without requiring a sidebar hover cycle.
+- [x] #2 When transitioning between subtitle hover and sidebar hover states on macOS embedded sidebar mode, mouse ignore state stays in sync with the currently interactive region.
+- [x] #3 Closing the embedded subtitle sidebar restores the correct passthrough state based on remaining subtitle hover/modal state without requiring an additional hover.
+- [x] #4 Regression tests cover the passthrough synchronization behavior.
+<!-- AC:END -->
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+<!-- SECTION:PLAN:BEGIN -->
+1. Add a shared renderer-side passthrough sync helper that derives whether the overlay should ignore mouse events from subtitle hover, embedded sidebar visibility/hover, popup visibility, and modal state.
+2. Replace direct embedded-sidebar passthrough toggles in subtitle hover/sidebar handlers with calls to the shared sync helper so state is recomputed on every transition.
+3. Add regression tests for macOS embedded sidebar mode covering sidebar-open idle passthrough, subtitle-to-sidebar transitions, and sidebar-close restore behavior.
+4. Run targeted renderer tests for mouse/sidebar passthrough coverage, then summarize any residual risk.
+<!-- SECTION:PLAN:END -->
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:BEGIN -->
+Added shared renderer overlay mouse-ignore recompute so subtitle hover, embedded sidebar hover/open/close, and popup idle transitions all derive passthrough from current state instead of last hover target.
+
+Added regression coverage for embedded sidebar idle passthrough on subtitle leave and for sidebar-close recompute behavior.
+
+Verification: `bun run typecheck` passed; `bun test src/renderer/handlers/mouse.test.ts` passed; `bun test src/renderer/modals/subtitle-sidebar.test.ts` passed; core verification wrapper artifact at `.tmp/skill-verification/subminer-verify-20260321-162743-XhSBxw` hit an unrelated `bun run test:fast` failure in `scripts/update-aur-package.test.ts` because macOS system bash lacks `mapfile`.
+<!-- SECTION:NOTES:END -->
+
+## Final Summary
+
+<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
+Fixed stale embedded-sidebar passthrough sync on macOS by introducing a shared renderer mouse-ignore recompute path and tracking sidebar-hover state separately from subtitle hover. Subtitle hover leave, sidebar hover enter/leave, sidebar open, and sidebar close now all recompute passthrough from the current overlay state instead of waiting for a later hover event to repair it. Added regression tests covering subtitle-leave passthrough while the embedded sidebar is open but idle, plus sidebar-close restore behavior based on remaining subtitle hover state.
+
+Tests run:
+- `bun run typecheck`
+- `bun test src/renderer/handlers/mouse.test.ts`
+- `bun test src/renderer/modals/subtitle-sidebar.test.ts`
+- `bash .agents/skills/subminer-change-verification/scripts/classify_subminer_diff.sh src/renderer/state.ts src/renderer/overlay-mouse-ignore.ts src/renderer/handlers/mouse.ts src/renderer/handlers/mouse.test.ts src/renderer/modals/subtitle-sidebar.ts src/renderer/modals/subtitle-sidebar.test.ts`

+
+Risk: the classifier flagged this as a real-runtime candidate, so actual Electron/mpv macOS pointer behavior was not exercised in a live runtime during this turn.

 # Changelog

+## v0.8.0 (2026-03-22)
+- Refreshed the vendored Texthooker docs/index.html bundle to match the latest local build artifacts.
+- Added incremental known-word cache refresh behavior so mined cards can append cache entries immediately and `subminer doctor --refresh-known-words` is now the explicit full refresh path.

+- Fixed anime progress to use last ended playback position and keep latest known checkpoint across sessions, preventing stale or zero percent regressions.
+- Kept subtitle sidebar cue tracking stable across transitions and improved sidebar configuration documentation for `layout`, `fontFamily`, and `fontSize`.
+- Added `subtitleSidebar.autoOpen` to open the subtitle sidebar at startup when enabled.
+- Improved sidebar resume/start behavior to jump directly to the active cue on resume while preserving auto-follow smooth motion.
+
 ## v0.7.0 (2026-03-19)
 - Added a full local immersion dashboard release line with Overview, Library, Trends, Vocabulary, and Sessions drill-down views backed by SQLite tracking data.
 - Added browser-first stats workflows: `subminer stats`, background stats daemon controls (`-b` / `-s`), stats cleanup, and dashboard-side mining actions with media enrichment.

+The sidebar is only available when the active subtitle source has been parsed into a cue list. Default colors use Catppuccin Macchiato with a semi-transparent shell so the panel stays readable without feeling like an opaque settings dialog.
+
+`embedded` layout is intended to act like a split-pane view: it reserves player space with a right-side video margin and keeps interaction in both the player area and sidebar. If you see unexpected offset behavior in your environment, switch back to `overlay` to isolate sidebar placement.

 - Pass `--date` explicitly when you want the release stamped with the local cut date; otherwise the generator uses the current ISO date, which can roll over to the next UTC day late at night.
 - `changelog:check` now rejects tag/package version mismatches.
 - `changelog:build` generates `CHANGELOG.md` + `release/release-notes.md` and removes the released `changes/*.md` fragments.
+- In the same way, the release workflow now auto-runs `changelog:build` when it detects unreleased `changes/*.md` on a tag-based run, then verifies and publishes.
 - Do not tag while `changes/*.md` fragments still exist.
+- If you need to repair a published release body (for example, a prior version’s section was omitted), regenerate notes from `CHANGELOG.md` and re-edit the release with `gh release edit --notes-file`.
