Replace scattered button, menu, popover, and range input utilities with shared, composable primitives: Button, ButtonLink, ButtonAnchor, MenuActionItem, MenuItemsSurface, PopoverSurface, PopoverTrigger, and RangeInput. Update all usages across app, admin, player, and document components to use these new primitives, eliminating duplicated class logic and improving consistency. Remove obsolete utility files and class exports. This change streamlines UI code, centralizes styling, and reduces maintenance overhead.
* feat(ui): redesign range input with dynamic progress styling and improved accessibility
Revamp the range input component to support dynamic progress indication using CSS custom properties and linear gradients. Add logic to compute and set the progress percentage based on current value, min, and max. Refine focus and disabled states for better accessibility and usability. Update styling for both WebKit and Mozilla engines to ensure consistent appearance. This change enhances visual feedback and modernizes the range slider UI.

interface with multiple views (icons, list, columns, gallery) and a new
sidebar filter system. Remove legacy folder and list item components in
favor of modular, windowed views. Integrate react-dnd-touch-backend and
custom DnD context for improved drag-and-drop, including mobile support.
Update uploader and dialog styles for consistency. Extend document types
to support new view modes, icon sizing, and sidebar state.
Add useUnmountCleanupRef custom hook to centralize and simplify unmount
cleanup logic in document page components. Refactor EPUB, HTML, and PDF
page components to utilize this hook, replacing repetitive ref and effect
patterns for invoking cleanup functions on unmount. This reduces code
duplication and improves maintainability.
Remove redundant clearCurrDoc calls from navigation links and ensure document cleanup occurs on component unmount for EPUB, HTML, and PDF pages. Simplify PDF back navigation by eliminating sidebar delay logic. Refactor DocumentListItem to avoid unnecessary router usage and consolidate document link handling. These changes improve maintainability and consistency in document lifecycle management across the UI.
Integrate opId handling throughout PDF layout parsing by updating client hooks, API routes, and event streams to support operation ID propagation. Add server utility for worker operation creation to centralize opId management. Enhance polling and SSE subscription utilities to accept and return opId, improving traceability and coordination of parse operations across the client and server.
Introduce detailed console logging across document parsing API routes and worker
operation state fetches. Logs now capture stream openings, error conditions,
worker state unavailability, and invalid responses, improving observability and
debuggability for PDF parsing and ONNX layout processing flows.
Update PDF viewer and document hook to improve parse status management:
- Set parseStatus to null on clear instead of 'pending' for accurate state
- Explicitly set initial parseStatus and reset parseProgress when loading a new document
- Adjust loader display logic to check for resolved parse status before showing expanded loader
Prevents UI inconsistencies and ensures parse progress is reflected correctly during document transitions.
Introduce idle and hard cap timeouts for PDF layout parsing in the compute worker,
ensuring long-running jobs are capped and progress is tracked with explicit
timeouts. Refactor NATS JetStream client initialization to use a configurable
API timeout. Update PDF viewer UI to treat parse state as 'pending' by default,
improving clarity during document preparation and parsing. Refine parse loader
labels and progress logic for more accurate user feedback.

adding delayed recomputation and guarding against zero-height container during
transient states. Refactor PDF document loading to include retry logic with
success detection, ensuring robust handling of transient failures. Update
Playwright test helpers to provide more reliable PDF viewer readiness checks
and introduce request retry utilities for backend API calls. Add targeted unit
tests for single-section chapter fallback in the PDF audiobook adapter. Update
test files and helpers to align with new layout and export logic.

Refactor API routes to generalize parse status normalization, removing explicit references to deprecated "unsupported" status and type variants. Update usages to accept string parse statuses for improved flexibility. Simplify document state dependency tracking in the PDF document hook.
Eliminate the "none" compute mode and all related code paths, including the NoneComputeBackend, "unsupported" parse status, and PDF margin settings. Parsing is now always available if the app starts successfully, and configuration is limited to "local" or "worker" compute modes. Update types, API routes, client adapters, and documentation to reflect this simplification.
BREAKING CHANGE: "none" is no longer a valid COMPUTE_MODE; only "local" and "worker" are supported. "unsupported" parse status and PDF margin settings are removed.
Implement block-level highlighting in PDF viewer by leveraging parsed document
structure and TTS segment locator. Extend highlightPattern API to accept options
for parsedDocument, locator, and block geometry mode. Update PDFViewer to use
block geometry highlighting when available, improving accuracy and alignment of
sentence and word highlights with ONNX-based DocLayoutV3 parsing. Refactor
highlighting logic to support both legacy span-based and new geometry-based
approaches.

Introduce `enableUserSignups` runtime setting to allow administrators to control
whether new accounts can be created. Update environment variable and documentation
references to support this feature. UI elements for account creation are now
conditionally rendered based on this flag. Signup attempts are blocked server-side
when disabled, including email, OAuth, and anonymous upgrades.
Add `assertUserSignupAllowed` utility for consistent enforcement and corresponding
unit tests to verify policy behavior.
Adopt new layout files for app, epub, html, and pdf routes to standardize
Next.js nested layout structure. Refactor SegmentsSidebar to accept an explicit
epubBookRef prop, decoupling it from internal context. Enhance EPUB resize hook
to ignore initial baseline rect and avoid unnecessary TTS interruptions on load.
Simplify Providers by removing legacy context nesting and conditional logic.
Add database-backed runtime configuration for feature flags and TTS provider credentials, editable via a new admin UI panel. Replace static NEXT_PUBLIC_* and TTS provider env vars with admin-managed settings stored in the database and injected at SSR for client access. Implement admin-only panels for managing shared TTS provider credentials (with encrypted API keys) and live site feature flags. Add schema migrations, API routes, React contexts, and hooks for SSR-injected runtime config and live updates. Update client and server logic to resolve configuration from the database at runtime, enforcing admin restrictions and supporting migration from legacy env-based config.
BREAKING CHANGE: Feature flags and TTS provider credentials are now managed at runtime via the admin UI. Environment variables are only used for initial seeding and are ignored after first boot. Existing deployments must migrate configuration to the admin panel.
Introduce SegmentsSidebar component and supporting reader UI for segment-level
navigation and inspection. Add TTS segments manifest and clear API endpoints to
enable efficient retrieval and management of segment variants. Update TTS
segment schema to include settings_hash for improved lookup and indexing,
and adjust indexes to use settings_hash instead of settings_json. Update
contexts and types to support segment variant display and interaction.
This enhances document navigation and TTS segment management for end users.
