+# Parse and Display All Available EPUB Metadata Fields + Cleanup Refactor
+
+## Task
+1. Extend the OPF parser, metadata cache, Epub accessors, i18n, and BookInfo screen to parse and display all standard Dublin Core metadata fields plus Calibre rating.
+2. Refactor for code quality: consolidate duplicate static blank strings, add `getMetadata()` accessor, and simplify `buildLayout` to accept `BookMetadata` struct.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. ContentOpfParser (`lib/Epub/Epub/parsers/ContentOpfParser.h/.cpp`)
+- Added 6 new `ParserState` entries: `IN_BOOK_PUBLISHER`, `IN_BOOK_DATE`, `IN_BOOK_SUBJECT`, `IN_BOOK_RIGHTS`, `IN_BOOK_CONTRIBUTOR`, `IN_BOOK_IDENTIFIER`
+- Added 7 new public string members: `publisher`, `date`, `subjects`, `rights`, `contributor`, `identifier`, `rating`
+- Added `identifierIsIsbn` flag for preferring ISBN identifiers over generic ones
+- `startElement`: handles `dc:publisher`, `dc:date`, `dc:subject` (multi-tag, comma-separated), `dc:rights`, `dc:contributor` (multi-tag, comma-separated), `dc:identifier` (prefers `opf:scheme="ISBN"`), and `calibre:rating` meta tag
+- `characterData`: appends text for all new states
+- `endElement`: transitions back to `IN_METADATA` for all new `dc:*` elements
+
+### 2. BookMetadataCache (`lib/Epub/Epub/BookMetadataCache.h/.cpp`)
+- Added 7 new fields to `BookMetadata` struct
+- Bumped `BOOK_CACHE_VERSION` from 6 to 7
+- Updated `metadataSize` calculation (8 → 15 string fields)
+- Added `writeString`/`readString` calls for all new fields in serialization/deserialization
+
+### 3. Epub Accessors (`lib/Epub/Epub.h/.cpp`)
+- Added 7 new accessor methods: `getPublisher()`, `getDate()`, `getSubjects()`, `getRights()`, `getContributor()`, `getIdentifier()`, `getRating()`
+- Added `getMetadata()` returning full `BookMetadataCache::BookMetadata` const ref
+- Consolidated 13 duplicate `static std::string blank` locals into single file-scope `kBlank` (saves ~384 bytes DRAM)
+- Propagated new fields from `opfParser` to `bookMetadata` in `parseContentOpf()`
+
+### 4. I18n (`lib/I18n/translations/english.yaml`, `lib/I18n/I18nKeys.h`)
+- Added 7 new translation keys: `STR_PUBLISHER`, `STR_DATE`, `STR_SUBJECTS`, `STR_RATING`, `STR_ISBN`, `STR_RIGHTS`, `STR_CONTRIBUTOR`
+- Regenerated I18n headers
+
+### 5. BookInfoActivity (`src/activities/home/BookInfoActivity.h/.cpp`)
+- Refactored `buildLayout()` from 14 individual parameters to single `BookMetadataCache::BookMetadata` struct + `fileSize`
+- `onEnter()` EPUB path uses `epub.getMetadata()` directly; XTC path builds a local `BookMetadata`
+- Display order: Title, Author, Series, Publisher, Date, Subjects, Rating (N/5), Language, ISBN, Contributor, File Size, Rights, Description
+- Rating displayed as `N / 5` (Calibre stores 0-10, divided by 2)
+
+## Commits
+- `8025e6f` — `feat: parse and display all available EPUB metadata fields`
+- (pending) — `refactor: consolidate Epub blank strings, simplify BookInfo buildLayout`
+
+## Follow-up
+- Existing book caches will auto-invalidate (version 6 → 7) and regenerate on next load
+- Users must delete `.crosspoint/` or let it regenerate to see new metadata for previously cached books
+- Hardware testing needed to verify rendering of all new fields in all orientations
