 # Changelog
 
+## v0.9.3 (2026-03-25)
+
+### Changed
+- Launcher: Moved YouTube primary subtitle language defaults to `youtube.primarySubLanguages`.
+- Launcher: Removed the placeholder YouTube subtitle retime step and now uses downloaded primary subtitle tracks directly, so there is no fake path rewrite before playback/sidebar loading.
+- YouTube: Removed the `src/core/services/youtube/retime` helper and its tests after retiring the internal retime strategy.
+- Docs: Clarified optional `alass` / `ffsubsync` subtitle-sync requirements and setup steps, including fallback behavior when sync tools are absent.
+- Launcher: Removed the old `youtubeSubgen.primarySubLanguages` config path from the generated config and docs.
+
+## v0.9.2 (2026-03-25)
+
+### Fixed
+- Overlay: Fixed overlay pointer tracking so Windows click-through toggles immediately when the cursor enters or leaves subtitle regions, without waiting for a later hover resync.
+- Overlay: Fixed Windows overlay window tracking on scaled displays by converting native tracked window bounds to Electron DIP coordinates before applying overlay bounds.
+- Launcher: Fixed Windows direct `--youtube-play` startup so MPV boots reliably, stays paused until the app-owned subtitle flow is ready, and reuses an already-running SubMiner instance when available.
+- Launcher: Fixed standalone Windows `--youtube-play` sessions so closing MPV fully exits SubMiner instead of leaving hidden overlay windows or a background process behind.
+- Overlay: Fixed `subminer <youtube-url>` on Linux so the YouTube playback flow waits for Yomitan to load before creating the overlay window, avoiding the broken lookup popup state that previously required a manual overlay refresh.
+
+## v0.9.1 (2026-03-24)
+
+### Changed
+- Release: Reduced packaged release size by excluding duplicate `extraResources` payload and pruning docs, tests, sourcemaps, and other source-only files from Electron bundles.
+
+### Fixed
+- Overlay: Restored controller navigation and lookup/mining controls while the subtitle sidebar is open, while keeping true modal dialogs blocking controller actions.
+- Tokenizer: Fixed subtitle annotation clearing so explanatory contrast endings like `んですけど` are excluded consistently across the shared tokenizer filter and annotation stage.
+
+## v0.9.0 (2026-03-23)
+
+### Added
+- Docs: Added a new WebSocket / Texthooker API and integration guide covering WebSocket payloads, custom client patterns, mpv plugin automation, and webhook-style relay examples. Linked from configuration and mining workflow docs for easier discovery.
+
+### Changed
+- Launcher: Added an app-owned YouTube subtitle flow that pauses mpv, uses absPlayer-style YouTube timedtext parsing/conversion to download subtitle tracks, and injects them as external files before playback resumes.
+- Launcher: Changed YouTube subtitle startup to auto-load the best-available primary and secondary subtitle tracks at launch instead of forcing the picker modal first. Secondary subtitle failures no longer block playback resume.
+- Launcher: Added `Ctrl+Alt+C` as the default keybinding to manually open the YouTube subtitle picker during active YouTube playback.
+- Launcher: Added yt-dlp metadata probing so YouTube playback and immersion tracking record canonical video title and channel metadata.
+- Launcher: Stopped forcing `--ytdl-raw-options=` before user-provided mpv options so existing YouTube cookie integrations in user `--args` are no longer clobbered.
+- Launcher: Disabled mpv native YouTube subtitle auto-loading for the app-owned flow so injected external subtitle files remain authoritative.
+- Launcher: Added OSD status messages for YouTube playback startup, subtitle acquisition, and subtitle loading so the flow stays visible before and during the picker.
+- Subtitle Sidebar: Added startup-auto-open controls and resume positioning improvements so the sidebar jumps directly to the first resolved active cue.
+- Subtitle Sidebar: Improved subtitle prefetch and embedded overlay passthrough sync so sidebar and overlay subtitle states stay consistent across media transitions.
+- Subtitle Sidebar: Updated scroll handling, embedded layout styling, and active-cue visual behavior.
+- Stats: Stats Library tab now displays YouTube video title, channel name, and channel thumbnail for YouTube media entries, with retry logic to fill in metadata that arrives after initial load.
+
+### Fixed
+- Launcher: Fixed Anki media mining for mpv YouTube streams by unwrapping the stream URL so audio and screenshot capture work correctly for YouTube playback sessions.
+- Immersion: Fixed YouTube media path handling in the immersion runtime and tracking so YouTube sessions record correct media references, AniList guessing skips YouTube URLs, and post-watch state transitions do not fire for YouTube media.
+- Launcher: Fixed startup-launched YouTube playback so primary subtitle overlay updates continue after auto-load completes.
+- Launcher: Fixed auto-loaded YouTube primary subtitles so parsed cues appear in the subtitle sidebar without needing a manual picker retry.
+- Launcher: Fixed the YouTube picker to guard against duplicate subtitle submissions and tightened YouTube URL detection so follow-up runtime flows only treat real YouTube hosts as YouTube playback.
+- Launcher: Fixed primary subtitle failure notifications being shown while app-owned YouTube subtitle probing and downloads are still in flight.
+- Launcher: Preserved existing authoritative YouTube subtitle tracks when available; downloaded tracks are used only to fill missing sides, and native mpv secondary subtitle rendering is hidden so the overlay remains the sole secondary display.
+
 ## v0.8.0 (2026-03-22)
 
+### Added
+- Overlay: Added the subtitle sidebar feature with a new `subtitleSidebar` configuration surface and rendered sidebar modal with cue list rendering, click-to-seek, active-cue highlighting, and embedded layout support.
+- IPC: Added sidebar snapshot plumbing between renderer and main process for overlay/sidebar synchronization.
+
 ### Changed
-- Docs: Refreshed the vendored Texthooker docs/index.html bundle to match the latest local build artifacts.
+- Config: Added hot-reloadable sidebar options for enablement, layout, visibility, typography, opacity, sizing, and interaction behavior (`autoOpen`, `pauseOnHover`, `autoScroll`, toggle key).
+- Docs: Added full `subtitleSidebar` documentation coverage, including sample config, option table, and toggle shortcut notes.
+- Runtime: Improved subtitle prefetch/rendering flow so sidebar and overlay subtitle states stay in sync across media transitions.
 
 ### 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.
+- Overlay: Kept sidebar cue tracking stable across playback transitions and timing edge cases.
+- Overlay: Improved sidebar resume/start behavior to jump directly to the first resolved active cue.
+- Overlay: Stopped stale subtitle refreshes from regressing active-cue and text state.

----
+## How It Works
 
-SubMiner is an Electron overlay for [mpv](https://mpv.io) that turns video into a sentence-mining workstation. Look up any word with [Yomitan](https://github.com/yomidevs/yomitan), mine it to Anki with one key, and track your immersion over time.
-
-<div align="center">
-
-[![SubMiner demo (Animated preview)](./assets/minecard.webp)](./assets/minecard.mp4)
-
-</div>
+SubMiner runs as an invisible Electron overlay on top of mpv. Subtitles render as an interactive layer. Move your cursor over any word and trigger a [Yomitan](https://github.com/yomidevs/yomitan) lookup. Press one key to snapshot the sentence, audio, and screenshot into Anki via AnkiConnect.
 
 ## Features
 
-**Dictionary lookups** — Yomitan runs inside the overlay. Hover or navigate to any word for full dictionary popups without leaving mpv.
+### Dictionary Lookups
 
-**One-key Anki mining** — Press one key to create a card with the sentence, audio clip, screenshot, and machine translation from the exact playback moment.
+Yomitan runs inside the overlay. Trigger a lookup on any word for full dictionary popups — definitions, pitch accent, frequency data — without ever leaving mpv.

-**Reading annotations** — Real-time subtitle annotations with N+1 targeting, frequency highlighting, JLPT tags, and a character name dictionary. Grammar-only tokens render as plain text.
+<br>
+
+### Instant Anki Mining
+
+Create an Anki card with the sentence, audio clip, screenshot, and machine translation from the exact playback moment with one key press, click, or controller input.

-**Immersion dashboard** — Local stats dashboard with watch time, anime progress, vocabulary growth, mining throughput, and session history.
+<br>
+
+### Reading Annotations
+
+Real-time subtitle annotations with frequency highlighting, JLPT tags, N+1 targeting, and a character name dictionary. Known words fade back; new words stand out. Grammar-only tokens render as plain text so you focus on what matters.
