Introduce `playbackRunIdRef` and `invalidatePlaybackRun` to ensure that playback
state is correctly reset on abort and content changes. Update abort and navigation
handlers to call `invalidatePlaybackRun`, preventing duplicate or stale playback
runs, especially in scenarios with rapid restarts or browser-specific audio event
quirks. This addresses issues where playback could become stuck or behave
unexpectedly due to outdated in-flight guards.
Remove legacy TTS segment manifest and audio endpoints in favor of new presigned and fallback audio URL approach. Update segment manifest structure to include `audioPresignUrl` and `audioFallbackUrl` fields, deprecating the previous `audioUrl`. Refactor segment ensure logic and TTS context to utilize the new playback source model. Add server utilities for generating presigned S3 URLs and introduce new API routes for presign and fallback audio retrieval. Clean up obsolete client API functions and types to reflect the new manifest format.
Introduce TTS segment support with new database tables and migrations for both Postgres and SQLite. Implement segment ensure, audio, and manifest API endpoints, segment storage in S3, and segment authorization logic. Update TTS context and client API to use segment-based synthesis and retrieval. Add server-side helpers for segment ID, settings hash, locator normalization, and audio probing. Extend user data cleanup and teardown logic to remove TTS segment objects. Add unit tests for segment helpers.
BREAKING CHANGE: TTS synthesis now uses segment-based storage and APIs; database migrations required.
Introduce pauseActiveHowl to centralize audio pause logic, ensuring consistent
cleanup and media session state updates. Update pause and togglePlay to use the
new helper, enabling accurate resume of paused audio and improved error
handling. Enhance Howl onpause event to synchronize playback state and clear
timeouts.

- apply custom CSS variables at runtime and provide applyCustomColors to live-update variables
- include fallback CSS for html.custom to avoid flash before hydration
- add ColorPicker component with curated swatches for each color role
- extend SettingsModal to support editing, previewing, and persisting custom theme colors; exclude 'custom' from regular theme lists and read custom colors when rendering previews
- tighten theme detection logic to treat custom background luminance as light/dark when needed
This enables users to define, persist, and see live updates for custom color palettes.
- Move TTS provider resolution and voice-fetch logic into shared catalog and make
remote fetches more resilient (timeouts, abort handling, baseUrl normalization,
treat explicit empty custom-openai responses as valid).
- Add continuation guard to TTS feature set and update API voices endpoint error
logging to better surface auth/session failures.
- Extract and stabilize ebook pipeline and epub adapter:
- Cache prepared EPUB chapters to avoid repeated parsing and handle missing/empty
chapter titles safely.

visibility/enabled checks) and simplify upload retry behavior.
- Add unit test to ensure custom-openai empty voice lists are preserved.
Why: Reduce runtime and test flakiness, centralize TTS logic for easier maintenance,
and make EPUB processing and preference diffing more robust. Breaking changes: none.
- Introduce a shared tts-provider-catalog to centralize provider/model/voice defaults
and feature flags (supportsTtsInstructions, providerSupportsCustomModel, resolveProviderModels,
getDefaultVoices, etc.). Replace ad-hoc provider logic across server and client with catalog calls.
- Replace inline voice/model UI logic in SettingsModal, AudiobookExportModal, TTSContext,
generate server code, and voice hook to use catalog helpers (resolveTtsSettingsViewModel,
supportsTtsInstructions, getDefaultVoices).
- Extract audiobook generation responsibilities into a small client-side pipeline:

chapter preparation, progress tracking, request header construction, and retry/abort behavior.
- Wire adapters/pipeline into EPUBContext and PDFContext to simplify and centralize audiobook flow.
- Move config preference helpers out of ConfigContext into dedicated client modules:
- buildSyncedPreferencePatch (lib/client/config/preferences.ts)
- applyConfigUpdate and getVoicePreferenceKey (lib/client/config/updates.ts)
- Use these helpers in ConfigContext to keep update logic small and testable.
- Add TTS settings view model resolver (lib/client/settings/tts-settings.ts) and tests
for the tts-provider catalog and config helpers (tests/unit/tts-provider-catalog.spec.ts).
- Minor usages updated: AudiobookExportModal, SettingsModal, useVoiceManagement, TTSContext,
server tts generation, and various context files to consume the new modules.
Why: Reduce duplication, improve testability, and separate concerns for provider metadata,
UI view-model logic, and audiobook generation flow. Breaking changes: none.
Introduce safeguards for continuation handling in TTS flow to prevent looping and over-carrying text. Add constants to limit carried characters and words, and loop-guard thresholds. Implement normalizeBlockFingerprint to create compact fingerprints of page-first blocks and store them in pageFirstBlockFingerprintRef. Use fingerprint comparison and progress threshold to skip to next page when a loop is detected. Cap continuation slices by characters and words and ensure carried text matches the returned addition.
test(ui): make settings save button click more robust
In tests/helpers.ts wait for the Settings Save button to become visible (with a short timeout) before attempting to open Settings, and click the Settings button with force to avoid intermittent pointer-interception failures. Improve stability of setupTest by handling enter transitions and overlays.
