iOS Safari does not reliably support MediaSource for audio/mpeg streaming,
causing an 'audio decode error' when the MSE SourceBuffer path is used.
Detect iOS (and any browser without audio/mpeg MSE support) at runtime and
fall back to a single fetch(...).blob() download with stream:false. Playback
begins after the full chapter audio is received rather than mid-stream, but
it works on all devices. Desktop browsers keep the existing MSE streaming
path (stream:true) for faster time-to-first-audio.
The same detection applies to the next-chapter prefetch pipeline.
- Add Kokoro-FastAPI TTS integration to the chapter reader UI:
- Browser-side MSE streaming with paragraph-level click-to-start
- Voice selector, speed slider, auto-next with prefetch of the next chapter
- New GET /ui/chapter-text endpoint that strips Markdown and serves plain text
- Add ranking page (novelfire /ranking scraper, WriteRanking/ReadRankingItems
in writer, GET /ranking + POST /ranking/refresh + GET /ranking/view routes)
with local-library annotation and one-click scrape buttons
- Add StrategyDirect (plain HTTP client) as a new browser strategy; the
default strategy is now 'direct' for chapter fetching and 'content'
for chapter-list URL retrieval (split via BROWSERLESS_URL_STRATEGY)
- Fix chapter numbering bug: numbers are now derived from the URL path
(/chapter-N) rather than list position, correcting newest-first ordering
- Add 'refresh <slug>' CLI sub-command to re-scrape a book from its saved
source_url without knowing the original URL
- Extend NovelScraper interface with RankingProvider (ScrapeRanking)
- Tune scraper timeouts: wait-for-selector reduced to 5 s, GotoOptions
timeout set to 60 s, content/scrape client defaults raised to 90 s
- Add cover extraction fix (figure.cover > img rather than bare img.cover)
- Add AGENTS.md and .aiignore for AI tooling context
- Add integration tests for browser client and novelfire scraper (build
tag: integration) and unit tests for chapterNumberFromURL and pagination
