Previously, prev/next buttons were relative to the currently playing
chapter and only worked for one navigation step. They relied on
audioPlayer.prevChapter and audioPlayer.nextChapter which were set
when loading audio and never updated.
Now buttons use absolute chapter navigation:
- Previous: always navigate to (current chapter - 1)
- Next: always navigate to (current chapter + 1)
- Bounded by chapter 1 and max chapter number
- Works continuously without stopping after one navigation
Added AudioPlayerService.absolutePrevChapter and .absoluteNextChapter
computed properties that calculate the prev/next chapter numbers based
on the current chapter and total chapters list.
Updated both mini player and full player to use absolute navigation.
Change seek gesture from .gesture to .highPriorityGesture to ensure
horizontal press-and-drag seeking takes precedence over the vertical
swipe gesture. This fixes unreliable seeking when dragging on the
mini player progress bar.
- Moved audio start button from top-right toolbar to floating bottom-right position
- Only shows floating button when audio player is not active

- Added white open book icon in center with pages and spine
- Gradient matches app's amber accent color theme
- Clean, minimal, modern design suitable for iOS
- Added previous chapter button (matching next button style)
- Made progress bar interactive - now occupies full background of mini player
- Horizontal drag/tap on progress bar seeks audio (shows amber overlay while seeking)
- Progress bar now uses full pill shape as background instead of small bottom border
- Tightened button spacing (12pt instead of 16pt) to fit prev/next buttons
- Changed vertical drag to simultaneousGesture to not conflict with horizontal seek

- Player now uses full screen height without excess bottom padding
- Added custom init to ChaptersListSheet that sets scrollPosition state before view appears
- Removed onAppear scroll position update (now set in init)
- List renders directly at current chapter position without any scroll animation
- Better performance for books with 1000+ chapters (no initial render + animate delay)
- Changed progress bar from RoundedRectangle to Capsule for rounded ends
- Added horizontal padding so indicator wraps nicely around bottom corners
- Progress bar now feels like an integrated part of the pill-shaped mini player
- Full player prev/next buttons now dismiss the player before navigating (allows user to see chapter change)
- Added amber loading indicator on next chapter button when prefetching audio (both mini and full player)
- Indicator appears as small ProgressView in bottom-right corner of forward button
- Fix chapter-based sleep timer not resetting when auto-advancing to next chapter (sleepTimerStartChapter now updates in handlePlaybackFinished)
- Fix AirPlay button being too large compared to other toolbar icons (constrain to 22×22)
Replace ScrollViewReader with scrollPosition to instantly show the current chapter without visible scrolling. This scales better for books with 1000+ chapters.

- Chapter-based timer tracks chapters played from start
- Time-based timer uses async task with proper cancellation
- Timer is cancelled when playback stops manually
- SleepTimerOption enum supports both timer types

- Larger cover thumbnail (56×56 with 12pt corner radius)
- Improved layout: cover + chapter/book titles + play/pause + next chapter skip
- Progress indicator moved to bottom 3pt amber border
- Removed dismiss X button - swipe down to dismiss instead
- Added swipe gestures: up to expand (0.4x resistance), down to dismiss (0.8x resistance)
- Dismiss animation with fade and scale effects
- Skip forward button navigates to next chapter (disabled when unavailable)
- Updated mini player height to 92pt in AppLayout
- Add safeAreaInset on ChapterReaderView ScrollView so Prev/Next buttons
clear the mini player bar when audio is active
- Fix mini player height reservation (66pt constant via AppLayout)
- Add AsyncCoverImage(isBackground:) to suppress rounded-rect placeholder
showing through blurred hero background (empty square bug)
- Reduce chapter page size 100→50 on iOS
- Fix ChapterRow date/chevron layout: minLength spacer + fixedSize date
- Add String.strippingTrailingDate() extension; apply in MiniPlayer,
FullPlayer, and ChapterReader header to clean up stale concatenated titles
- Make Prev/Next buttons equal-width (maxWidth: .infinity) for easier tapping
- Replace AudioGenerateResponse with AudioTriggerResponse to handle both 200 (cached) and 202 (async job) responses
- Add pollAudioStatus() in APIClient that polls /api/audio/status every 2s until done or failed
- Update generateAudio() and prefetchNext() in AudioPlayerService to poll instead of expecting a synchronous URL response
- Bump chapter list font sizes: number xs→sm, title sm→base, date/badge xs→sm, row padding py-2→py-2.5
- AudioPlayerService: replace loading/generating states with a single
.generating state; presign fast path before triggering TTS; fix URL
resolution for relative paths; cache cover artwork to avoid re-downloads;
fix duration KVO race (durationObserver); use toleranceBefore/After:zero
for accurate seeking; prefetch next chapter unconditionally (not just when
autoNext is on); handle auto-next internally on playback finish
- APIClient: fix URL construction (appendingPathComponent encodes slashes);
add verbose debug logging for all requests/responses/decoding errors;
fix sessions() to unwrap {sessions:[]} envelope; fix BrowseResponse
CodingKey hasNext → camelCase
- AudioGenerateResponse: update to synchronous {url, filename} shape
- Models: remove redundant AudioStatus enum; remove CodingKeys from
UserSettings (server now sends camelCase)
- Views: fix alert bindings (.constant → proper two-way Binding); add
error+retry UI to BrowseView; add pull-to-refresh to browse list;
fix ChapterReaderView to show error state and use dynamic WKWebView
height; fix HomeView HStack alignment; only treat audio as current
if the player isActive; suppress CancellationError from error UI
