- Add notify_new_chapters_push field to AppUser, PATCH /api/profile, and profile loader
- Fix bell panel to reload notifications on every open (not just once on mount)
- Replace flat in-app + push toggles with structured category table (Category | In-app | Push)
- Add browser push master subscribe/unsubscribe row above the table
- Push column toggle disabled until browser is subscribed; shows — when unsupported/denied
- Update Notifications row hint to summarise active channels (In-app · Push / Off)
- Replace bell dropdown with full-screen NotificationsModal (mirrors SearchModal pattern)
- Notifications visible to all logged-in users (not just admin)
- Admin users excluded from new-chapter fan-out (dedup vs Scrape Complete notification)
- Users with notify_new_chapters=false opted out of new-chapter in-app notifications
- Toggle in profile page to enable/disable in-app new-chapter notifications
- PATCH /api/profile endpoint to save notification preferences
- User-facing /notifications page (admin redirects to /admin/notifications)
Add a user-selectable playback mode stored in user_settings:
- 'stream' (default): /api/audio-stream starts playing within seconds,
saves to MinIO concurrently — low latency
- 'generate': queue runner task, poll until full audio is ready in
MinIO, then play via presigned URL — legacy behaviour
UI toggles in two places:
- AudioPlayer idle pill: compact '· Stream / · Generate' inline next
to voice name and estimated duration
- ListeningMode controls row: pill alongside Auto, Announce, Sleep;
disabled and grayed out for CF AI voices (batch-only, no streaming)
startPlayback() now branches on audioStore.audioMode for non-CF AI
voices; generate mode uses the same runner task + progress bar flow
as CF AI but without the preview clip.
PocketBase: audio_mode text field added to user_settings on
pb.libnovel.cc (live) and in pb-init-v3.sh (create block +
add_field migration line).
- Import page: add file upload with review step before committing
- Backend: add analyze endpoint to preview chapters before import
- Add notifications collection + API for admin alerts
- Add bell icon in header with notification dropdown (admin only)
- Runner creates notification on import completion
- Notifications link to /admin/import for easy review
- Wrap {#key} children in fade transition (out 100ms, in 180ms+60ms delay)
for a smooth cross-fade between pages with no added dependencies
- Halve navigation progress bar animation duration (8s → 4s) for
more realistic feedback on typical navigations
- Add prefers-reduced-motion media query to collapse all animation/transition
durations for users with accessibility needs
- Add content-visibility: auto on footer to skip browser paint of
off-screen content and improve rendering performance
speechSynthesis is silently muted on iOS Safari and Chrome Android after
the audio session ends (onended), so chapter announcements never played.
Fix:
- Add GET /api/tts-announce backend endpoint: streams a short TTS clip
for arbitrary text without MinIO caching (backend/internal/backend/)
- Add GET /api/announce SvelteKit proxy route (no paywall)
- Add announceNavigatePending/announcePendingSlug/announcePendingChapter
to AudioStore
- Rewrite onended announce branch: sets audioStore.audioUrl to the
announcement clip URL so the persistent <audio> element plays it;
the next onended detects announceNavigatePending and navigates
- 10s safety timeout in case the clip fails to load/end
Forest — deep green surfaces (#0a130d base) with green-400 accent.
Inspired by terminal emulators and dark mode IDE forest schemes.
Mono — near-black zinc-950 surface with pure white/zinc-100 accent.
Minimal high-contrast monochromatic palette for distraction-free reading.
Cyber — near-black blue surface with neon cyan-400 accent and dracula-palette
success/danger colors. Cyberpunk aesthetic with neon glow feel.
Changes:
- app.css: three new [data-theme] blocks with full token sets
- +layout.svelte: added forest/mono/cyber to THEMES array (before light themes)
- profile/+page.svelte: same additions with i18n label functions
- messages/*.json: translated names in all 5 locales (en/fr/ru/pt/id)
Two issues causing announce to silently fail or permanently block navigation:
1. No hard timeout fallback on speechSynthesis.speak():
Chrome Android (and some desktop) silently drops utterances not triggered
within a user-gesture window. If both onend and onerror fail to fire (a
known browser bug), doNavigate() was never called and the chapter
transition was permanently lost. Added an 8-second setTimeout fallback
(safeNavigate) that forces navigation if the speech engine never resolves.
safeNavigate is idempotent — guarded by a 'navigated' flag so it only
fires once even if onend, onerror, and the timeout all fire.
2. audioStore.chapters only written inside startPlayback():
The onended handler reads audioStore.chapters to build the utterance text
(Chapter N — Title). If auto-next navigated to this chapter and the user
never manually pressed play (startPlayback was never called), chapters
held whatever the previous AudioPlayer had written — potentially stale or
empty on a book switch. Added a reactive $effect that keeps chapters in
sync whenever the prop changes, same pattern as nextChapter.
Bug 1 — Auto-next not transitioning:
audioExpanded defaulted to false on the new chapter page because
audioStore.chapter still held the old chapter number when the page script
initialized. The $effect only opened the panel when isPlaying was already
true — a circular dependency (can't play without the panel, panel only opens
when playing). Fix: also set audioExpanded=true when autoStartChapter targets
this chapter, both in the initial $state and in the reactive $effect.
Bug 2 — Resume starts at the end:
onended called saveAudioTime() which captured currentTime≈duration and fired a
PATCH 2 seconds later (after navigation had already completed). Next visit to
that chapter restored the end-of-file position. Fix: in onended, cancel the
debounced timer (clearTimeout) and immediately PATCH audioTime=0 for the
finished chapter, so it always resumes from the beginning on re-visit.
When enabled, the Web Speech API speaks the upcoming chapter number and
title (e.g. 'Chapter 12 — The Final Battle') between auto-next chapters,
giving an audible cue before the next narration begins.
- AudioStore.announceChapter ( boolean, default false)
- PBUserSettings.announce_chapter persisted to PocketBase
- GET/PUT /api/settings includes announceChapter field
- +layout.server.ts loads + defaults the field
- +layout.svelte applies on load, saves in debounced PUT, and fires
SpeechSynthesisUtterance in onended before navigating (falls back to
immediate navigation if speechSynthesis is unavailable)
- ListeningMode: 'Announce' pill added to the Speed · Auto · Sleep row
- New SearchModal.svelte: full-screen modal with blurred backdrop
- Live results as you type (300ms debounce, min 2 chars)
- Local vs Novelfire badge on each result card (cover + title + author +
genres + chapter count)
- Local/remote counts shown in result header
- 'See all in catalogue' shortcut button + footer repeat link
- Recent searches (localStorage, max 8, per-item remove + clear all)
- Genre suggestion chips shown when query is empty or no results found
- Keyboard navigation: ArrowUp/Down to select, Enter to open, Escape to close
- Body scroll lock while open
- +layout.svelte:
- Imports SearchModal, adds searchOpen state
- Search icon button in nav header (hidden on chapter reader pages)
- Global keyboard shortcut: '/' or Cmd/Ctrl+K opens modal
- Shortcut ignored when focused in input/textarea or on chapter pages
- Modal not shown while ListeningMode is open
- Auto-closes on route change
- Add pointer-events:none to ListeningMode fly-transition wrapper div in
+layout.svelte so the exiting animation div never blocks page interaction
- Add pointer-events:auto to ListeningMode root div so it still captures
all touch/click events correctly despite the parent being pointer-events:none
- Rewrite carousel auto-advance using $effect + autoAdvanceSeed pattern:
replaces the stale-closure setInterval in resetAutoAdvance() with a
reactive $effect that owns the interval and re-starts cleanly on manual
navigation by bumping a seed counter
- Slide-up transition on open (fly from bottom, 320ms)
- Drag-down on the overlay follows the finger in real time with no
transition; on release springs back (0.32s cubic-bezier) if drag
< 130px and velocity < 0.4px/ms, otherwise slides off-screen and
calls onclose after 220ms
- Opacity fades as the overlay is pulled down (fully transparent at 500px)
- Touch guard: gesture does not activate if touch starts inside an
.overflow-y-auto element (chapter/voice lists) or while a modal is open
- Hide the global site footer on chapter pages (not useful mid-reading)
- Merge the three separate floating nav pills into a single unified pill
with dividers, removing the visual clutter of multiple bordered bubbles
- Float the pill lower (bottom-6) when the mini-player is not active
Reading audioStore.isPlaying inside the toggleRequest $effect caused Svelte 5
to subscribe to it, so the effect re-ran on every isPlaying change. When
resuming from ListeningMode, play() would fire onplay → isPlaying=true →
effect re-ran → called pause() → onpause → isPlaying=false → effect re-ran
→ called play() → infinite loop. Wrapping the isPlaying read in untrack()
limits the effect's subscription to toggleRequest only.
- justify-between on scrollable body so cover art sits top, controls
sit bottom — no more half-empty screen on tall phones
- Move ListeningMode outside {#if audioStore.active} so pausing never
tears down the overlay and loses resume context
- Mini-bar time/track click now opens ListeningMode with chapter picker
pre-shown (same view as the Chapters button inside ListeningMode)
- Remove the old chapterDrawerOpen mini-bar drawer (replaced by above)
- Add openChapters prop to ListeningMode for pre-opening chapter modal
Prevents the silly "2:01 / 0:00" display when audio src is being swapped
from preview to full audio and duration hasn't loaded yet.

- Backend: add GET /api/audio-preview/{slug}/{n} — generates first ~1800-char
chunk via CF AI so playback starts immediately; full chapter cached in MinIO
- Frontend: replace CF AI spinner with preview blob URL + background swap to
full presigned URL when runner finishes, preserving currentTime
- AudioPlayer: isPreview state + 'preview' badge in mini-bar during swap
- pocketbase.ts: fix 403 on stale token — reduce TTL to 50 min + retry once
on 401/403 with forced re-auth (was cached 12 h, PB tokens expire in 1 h)
- Footer build time now rendered in user's local timezone via toLocaleString()
Speed and auto-next are already available in the full listening mode
overlay — no need to clutter the compact bottom bar with them.

When the mini-player is active on the current chapter, the collapsible
'Listen to this chapter' panel now shows a brief note instead of rendering
a full second AudioPlayer.
Bottom bar track info column: removed chapter title and book title lines
so the time display fits on one line without crowding the controls.
Adds a full-screen listening mode accessible via the headphones button in the
mini-player bar. Moves voice selector, speed, auto-next, and sleep timer out of
the reader settings panel into the new overlay. Voices are stored in AudioStore
so ListeningMode can read them without prop drilling.
On md+ screens the drawer is now right-aligned and 320px wide (w-80)
instead of full-viewport-width. The sticky header is pulled out of the
scroll container so it never scrolls away, and overflow-y-auto is
applied only to the chapter list itself so both mobile and desktop can
scroll through long chapter lists.
- Replace ?? with || when reading font_size so 0 falls back to 1.0
(affects GET /api/settings, layout.server.ts, +layout.svelte)
- Remove the explicit 'body.fontSize !== 0' exception in PUT /api/settings
validation so 0 is now correctly rejected as an invalid font size
- Add add_index helper + idx_chapters_idx_slug_number declaration to
scripts/pb-init-v3.sh (idempotent UNIQUE INDEX on chapters_idx)
- Add /subscribe route with hero, benefits list, and pricing cards
(annual featured with Save 33% badge, monthly secondary)
- Add 'Pro' link in nav for non-Pro users
- Add 'See plans' link in profile subscription section
- i18n keys across en/fr/id/pt/ru for all subscribe strings
Note: checkout still requires POLAR_API_TOKEN with checkouts:write scope.
Regenerate the token at polar.sh to fix the 502 error on subscribe buttons.
Without explicit setActionHandler('play'/'pause'/...) the browser uses
default handling which on iOS Safari stops working after ~1 min of
pause in background/locked state (AudioSession gets suspended and the
lock screen button can't resume it without a direct user gesture).
Registering handlers in the layout (where audioEl lives) ensures:
- play/pause call audioEl directly — iOS treats this as a trusted
gesture and allows .play() even from the lock screen
- seekbackward/seekforward map to ±15s / ±30s
- playbackState stays in sync so the lock screen shows the right icon

The save-settings $effect was firing on the initial data load because
settingsApplied was set to true synchronously in the apply effect, then
currentTheme/fontFamily/fontSize were written in the same tick — causing
the save effect to immediately fire with uninitialized default values
(theme: "", fontFamily: "", fontSize: 0), producing a 400 error.
- Add settingsDirty flag, set via setTimeout(0) after initial apply so
the save effect is blocked for the first load and only runs on real
user-driven changes
- Also accept empty string / 0 as 'not provided' in PUT /api/settings
validation as a defensive backstop

When the mini-player chapter drawer is opened, the current chapter is
now immediately scrolled into the center of the list instead of always
starting from the top. Uses a Svelte action (setIfActive) to track the
active chapter element and a $effect to call scrollIntoView on open.
- New /discover page with swipe UI: left=skip, right=like, up=read now, down=nope
- Onboarding modal to collect genre/status preferences (persisted in localStorage)

Three light variants mirroring the existing dark set. All use CSS custom
properties so no component changes are needed. Theme dots in the header
and mobile drawer show a separator between dark/light groups; light-theme
swatches get a subtle ring so they're visible on light backgrounds.

Desktop header before: logo · Library · Catalogue · Feedback · ●●● · EN RU ID PT-BR FR · Admin · username · Sign out
Desktop header after: logo · Library · Catalogue · Feedback · ●●● · [🌐 EN ▾] · [avatar ▾]
Changes:
- Theme dots kept but made slightly smaller (3.5 → 3.5, less gap)
- 5 bare language codes replaced with a compact globe + current locale
dropdown (click to expand all 5 options)
- Admin link, username, and Sign out collapsed into a single user-initial
avatar dropdown (Profile / Admin panel / Sign out)
- Click-outside overlay closes any open dropdown
- Mobile drawer: added Theme and Language rows so users can switch both
without opening the desktop header
- Footer locale switcher removed (redundant with header and mobile drawer)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Fix language not persisting after refresh: save locale in user_settings,
set PARAGLIDE_LOCALE cookie from DB preference on server load

- Add font family (system/serif/mono) and text size (sm/md/lg/xl) user settings
stored in DB and applied via CSS custom properties
- Add theme color dots and language picker to desktop header for quick access
- Footer locale switcher now saves preference to DB before switching
- Remove change password section (OAuth-only, no password login)
- Fix active sessions piling up: reuse existing session on re-login via OAuth
- Extend speed step cycle to include 2.5× and 3.0× (matching profile slider)

Move admin navigation from a two-row tab strip into a persistent left
sidebar with grouped sections (Pages / Tools). Consolidate Scrape and
Audio entries in the global top nav into a single Admin link.
PUBLIC_BUILD_VERSION and PUBLIC_BUILD_COMMIT were set only in the builder
stage ENV — they were never re-declared in the runtime stage, so the Node
server started with them undefined and the badge always showed 'dev'.
Fix: re-declare all three ARGs after the second FROM and set runtime ENVs.
Add PUBLIC_BUILD_TIME (ISO timestamp from gitea.event.head_commit.timestamp)
injected via build-arg in release.yaml. Badge now shows e.g.:
v2.3.9+abc1234 · 28 Mar 2026 14:30 UTC
