The Dockerfile has been refactored to a multi-stage build, allowing the `whisper.cpp` CLI binary to be compiled and embedded within the application's runtime image. This enables word-by-word highlighting functionality when deployed via Docker. The `README.md` has been updated to include installation and configuration instructions for `whisper.cpp` when running locally. Additionally, the `WHISPER_CPP_BIN` environment variable has been added to `template.env` and the package version has been bumped to v1.1.0.
Abstracted direct fetch calls across components and contexts into new functions within `src/lib/client.ts`. This provides a consistent and centralized interface for interacting with backend APIs.
- Introduced `src/lib/client.ts` to encapsulate API request logic.
- Standardized audio buffer types (`TTSAudioBuffer`, `TTSAudioBytes`) in `src/types/tts.ts`.
- Moved client-specific request types (`TTSRequestPayload`, `TTSRequestHeaders`, `TTSRetryOptions`) to `src/types/client.ts`.
- Updated API routes and consumer components/contexts to leverage the new client library functions and type definitions.
- Removed `src/utils/audio.ts` as its utility functions are now part of `src/lib/client.ts`.
- Relocated all audiobook-related API routes from `/api/audio/convert/*` to `/api/audiobook/*`.
- This change affects endpoints for chapter conversion, retrieval, deletion, and overall audiobook status.
- Updated client-side calls in `AudiobookExportModal.tsx`, `EPUBContext.tsx`, and `PDFContext.tsx` to reflect the new API paths.
- Modified API tests (`api.spec.ts`, `export.spec.ts`) to target the restructured endpoints.
- The new API structure provides better organization and a clearer, more consistent interface for audiobook functionality.
- Introduce `/api/whisper` endpoint which uses `whisper.cpp` (via a `WHISPER_CPP_BIN` executable) and `ffmpeg` to generate word-level audio alignments from provided audio and text.
- Integrate word-level alignments into `TTSContext`, tracking the currently spoken word based on audio seek position and provided timestamps. Alignments are cached in-memory and fetched asynchronously.
- Add new configuration options (`pdfWordHighlightEnabled`, `epubWordHighlightEnabled`) to `ConfigContext` and `Dexie` for enabling/disabling the feature.
- Implement visual word highlighting in both `PDFViewer` and `EPUBViewer` by mapping TTS-aligned words to rendered text elements.

- Updated module imports across several contexts (`Config`, `EPUB`, `HTML`, `PDF`, `TTS`) and components to reflect the new `lib` and `types` locations.
- Enhanced TTS API request and error handling in `src/app/api/tts/route.ts` and TTS-consuming contexts with explicit types.
- Simplified `ProgressCard`, `ProgressPopup`, and `AudiobookExportModal` components by removing the `isProcessing` prop, centralizing processing state management.
- Streamlined `HTMLContext` by removing `createFullAudioBook` and `isAudioCombining` properties, focusing its scope.

- Upgrade the underlying text comparison algorithm to Dice similarity for more accurate and context-aware matching of spoken words to on-screen text, improving synchronization precision.
- Improve sentence boundary detection, especially for quoted dialogue and complex structures, by enhancing the NLP processing logic, leading to a more natural audio-text flow.
- Reduce Playwright worker allocation from 75% to 50% for better resource management
- Disable parallel test execution temporarily to isolate flaky test behavior
- Enhance audio utility to fail fast on user cancellation, preventing unnecessary retries
- Consolidate test-specific utilities within individual test suites for better isolation
- Introduce export functionality test coverage with new export.spec.ts suite

reactive updates using dexie-react-hooks.
Simplifies TTS backend by removing concurrency semaphore while maintaining
request de-duplication through in-flight tracking. Streamlines document hooks
by removing manual state management and refresh methods.

architecture while maintaining full backward compatibility for existing
documents and settings.
BREAKING CHANGE: Document hooks no longer expose refresh() methods as updates
