Replace the previous whisper.cpp-based word alignment with a fully ONNX-based
implementation using onnxruntime-node and @huggingface/tokenizers. Add new
Whisper ONNX model management, alignment mapping, and spectral analysis modules.
Remove all code and documentation referencing whisper.cpp, update environment
variables, Dockerfile, and docs to reflect ONNX-only alignment. Add unit tests
for alignment and ONNX model logic.
Switch PDF layout parsing to use the PP-DocLayoutV3 ONNX model, replacing the previous Docling-based approach. Update all environment variables, model fetching, and manifest handling for the new model and its artifacts. Refactor block kind taxonomy throughout the codebase, tests, and UI to align with PP-DocLayoutV3 labels, including expanded and renamed block types. Revise document settings, block filtering, and stitching logic to support the new set of block kinds. Update documentation and environment variable references to reflect the model transition.
BREAKING CHANGE: PDF parsing now requires PP-DocLayoutV3 ONNX model and updated environment variables; block kind names and settings have changed throughout the system.
Migrate PDF parsing to use ONNX Docling layout model for structured block extraction, enabling improved TTS segmentation and chaptering. Add compute backend abstraction for heavy tasks (alignment, layout parsing) with configuration via `OPENREADER_COMPUTE_MODE`. Integrate block-level locators and document settings for per-document PDF parsing options. Update S3 storage for parsed PDF JSON, add migration and schema changes, and extend client and server APIs for parsed data and settings. Remove legacy word highlight flag in favor of compute capability detection.
- Add ONNX model download, local/none compute modes, and `onnxruntime-node` dependency
- Update PDF viewer and TTS pipeline to use parsed blocks and block-level locators
- Add document settings storage and APIs for per-document PDF options
- Update S3 storage layout for parsed PDF JSON
- Add admin/config/docs updates for new compute and parsing features
- Remove obsolete word highlight runtime flag and UI
BREAKING CHANGE: PDF parsing and word highlighting now require `OPENREADER_COMPUTE_MODE=local` and ONNX model; document settings and S3 layout updated; legacy word highlight flag removed.
Add a dedicated Admin Panel documentation page detailing management of shared TTS providers and site features via the admin UI. Update all TTS provider guides, environment variable references, and deployment docs to clarify the new runtime configuration model: environment variables serve as first-boot seeds only, with ongoing management handled through the admin interface. Revise sidebars and cross-links to include the new admin panel docs and clarify the distinction between legacy env-based and admin-managed configuration.
Expand and clarify documentation for TTS segment storage, including key layout, cleanup, and CLI access in object storage. Add details on the `tts_segments` schema and migration process. Revise local development and Docker quick start guides with improved prerequisites, platform-specific setup instructions, and updated TTS provider references. Document new usage of `AUTH_SECRET` for TTS segment text fingerprinting.
Document observed S3 `InternalError` regressions with SeaweedFS 4.19 in
object storage, local development, and Docker quick start guides. Clarify that
version 4.18 is pinned in CI and Docker builds for reliability while
compatibility is investigated.
Implement a check for GitHub OAuth credentials to conditionally render
the GitHub sign-in button. This ensures the UI accurately reflects
available authentication methods based on environment configuration.
- Add `isGithubAuthEnabled` utility to verify server-side credentials
- Propagate GitHub auth status through context providers to the UI
- Conditionally display the GitHub sign-in button in the sign-in page
- Update documentation and examples to use hex encoding for `AUTH_SECRET`
- Add unit tests for the new GitHub authentication configuration logic
Implement AbortController in ConfigContext, PDFContext, and preference sync to prevent race conditions during session changes or rapid navigation. Refactor document preview routes into shared utilities and add LRU caching for text previews to optimize memory. Update documentation for Better Auth schema ownership and migration workflows. Fix issues with Postgres system user seeding and better-sqlite3 configuration.
