Redesign TTS segment storage by decomposing the `tts_segments` table into two normalized tables: `tts_segment_entries` for unique segment identity and locator projection, and `tts_segment_variants` for per-settings audio variants. Update schema, queries, and API routes to use the new structure, including manifest pagination and segment resolution logic. Refactor segment locator handling to use stable projections and manifest cursors. Migrate tests and data cleanup utilities to support the new model.
BREAKING CHANGE: Database schema for TTS segments is now split into entry and variant tables; all code and consumers must use the new structure. Persisted data and APIs relying on the old `tts_segments` table are incompatible.
Implement strict validation for EPUB TTS segment locators, requiring stable spine coordinates (`spineHref`, `spineIndex`, `charOffset`) and rejecting legacy CFI-only locators. Introduce `segmentKey` as a normalized identity derived from segment text, used for robust merging and deduplication of synthesized and persisted segments. Update database schemas, API routes, and manifest logic to support the new locator format and segmentKey. Add helpers for locator resolution and segmentKey construction, with comprehensive unit tests for identity, normalization, and manifest grouping.
BREAKING CHANGE: Persisted EPUB TTS segment locators must now include stable spine coordinates; legacy CFI-only locators are no longer accepted. Consumers must handle the new `segmentKey` field for segment identity and merging.
Refactor TTS segment identification to support canonical segment keys, decoupling segment IDs from locator and index for more robust deduplication and handoff. Add `segmentKey` to segment types, manifest, and ensure route. Implement natural sorting for EPUB CFI locations and segment locators using new comparison utilities. Update sidebar and manifest helpers to use locator-aware sorting. Add foundational modules for EPUB word highlighting, TTS segment planning, and EPUB handoff logic. Expand types and tests to cover new canonical segment and locator behaviors.
BREAKING CHANGE: TTS segment IDs now support canonical segment keys; APIs and manifest consumers must handle `segmentKey` and updated locator comparison logic.
Introduce configurable segment preloading depth, sentence lookahead, and TTS segment max block length for both PDF and EPUB readers. Add new settings to user preferences, config context, and document settings UI. Refactor TTS segment splitting logic to support per-user max block length and propagate these options through PDF/EPUB adapters and TTS segment generation. Update API, manifest pagination, and segment deduplication for improved performance and correctness. Add tests for new NLP options and manifest logic.
BREAKING CHANGE: TTS segment splitting and manifest APIs now require max block length and preloading parameters; user config schema updated.
Update segment manifest API to group segments by both index and locator
attributes, ensuring distinct segment variants are not merged incorrectly.
Adjust SegmentsSidebar logic to select the most relevant segment per index
based on locator match and recency, improving sidebar accuracy when
multiple locator variants exist for a segment.
Standardize aria-labels in DocumentHeaderMenu and ReaderSidebarShell to use
"Hide" and "Close" phrasing for improved accessibility and user experience.
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.
