- 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.
- Fail early when created chapter lacks a bookId.
- Improve config/preferences handling:
- Replace JSON stringify comparisons with a deepEqual utility to compare defaults.
- Tighten ConfigContext effect dependencies and consolidate synced preference
queuing logic to include additional keys.
- Harden end-to-end test helpers and unit tests:
- Make settings dialog dismissal deterministic (use Enter/Escape and explicit
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.
- Add waitForBackendDownloadReady helper to tests/export.spec.ts to wait for backend
chapter metadata and enabled full-download UI before attempting combines/downloads.
Use it in two export tests to reduce flakiness related to eventual backend storage visibility.
- Improve uploadAndDisplay helper in tests/helpers.ts to retry link click when transient
"intercepts pointer events" errors occur, ensuring test clicks succeed under flaky UI conditions.
Add dismissSettingsModalIfVisible to detect and close the Settings dialog before interacting
with page links (click Save or press Escape, wait for dialog to hide).
- Update SettingsModal.tsx useEffect dependencies to avoid referencing checkFirstVist in the
local state sync effect and add separate effect for checkFirstVist for clearer lifecycle.
Why: Reduce end-to-end test flakiness by waiting for backend readiness and making UI interactions
more robust; simplify SettingsModal effect dependencies to prevent unnecessary re-runs. 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:
- Add createEpubAudiobookSourceAdapter and createPdfAudiobookSourceAdapter adapter modules
to prepare chapters from EPUB/PDF sources.
- Add runAudiobookGeneration and regenerateAudiobookChapter pipeline functions to handle
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.
Add a test to verify selected voice persists instead of resetting to default.
Also refactors export tests to be UI-driven rather than backend-dependent.
- Removed unused imports and types from TTS route.
- Consolidated TTS buffer generation logic into a new module.
- Implemented caching for TTS audio buffers using LRU cache.
- Updated TTS request handling to support instructions for specific models.
- Refactored audiobook chapter creation to use new TTS generation logic.
- Simplified error handling and response management in TTS API.
- Enhanced client-side logic to manage TTS requests and retries.
- Updated types to reflect changes in TTS request payload structure.
Add five new light theme options (lavender, rose, sand, sky, slate) with dedicated color palettes. Redesign Settings modal with sidebar navigation replacing tabs, add visual theme color selector showing preview swatches, and introduce new icons (KeyIcon, PaletteIcon, UserIcon, DocumentIcon). Also update PrivacyModal to render conditionally based on authEnabled and add privacy policy link. Update tests to reflect new UI structure.
Major overhaul: implement auth, sqldb for metadata, s3-like storage, and lessen reliance on fs
New Features

Chores
Rebranded project from "OpenReader-WebUI" to "OpenReader"
Add ZIP-based user data download endpoint, enable AES-256 server-side S3 encryption for all stored documents and audiobooks. Rewrite privacy policy with detailed CCPA categories, service provider disclosures (Vercel/Neon/Railway), and user rights sections. Replace privacy modal with checkbox agreement flow.
