## Summary
Replaces the picojpeg library with bitbank2/JPEGDEC for JPEG decoding in
the EPUB image pipeline. JPEGDEC provides built-in coarse scaling (1/2,
1/4, 1/8), 8-bit grayscale output, and streaming block-based decoding
via callbacks.
Includes a pre-build patch script for two JPEGDEC changes affecting
progressive JPEG support and EIGHT_BIT_GRAYSCALE mode.
Closes#912
## Additional Context

### Summary
- **1:1 scale (fixed-point vs float)**: ~2.5x faster — eliminating
software float on the FPU-less ESP32-C3 is the dominant win
- **1:1 scale (fixed-point vs picojpeg)**: ~3.0x faster overall
- **Downscaled images (vs picojpeg)**: 8-9x faster — JPEGDEC's coarse
scaling + fixed-point draw callback
- **Downscaled images (fixed-point vs float)**: 1.3-1.7x — less dramatic
since JPEG library decode dominates over the draw callback for fewer
output pixels
- The fixed-point optimization alone (vs float JPEGDEC) saved **~60% of
render time** on 1:1 images, confirming that software float emulation
was the primary bottleneck in the draw callback

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** During my development I am frequently
jumping from branch to branch flashing test versions on my device. It
becomes sometimes quite difficult to figure out which version of the
software I am currently looking at.
* **What changes are included?**
- Dev builds now display the current git branch in the version string
shown on the Settings screen (e.g. 1.1.0-dev+feat-my-feature), making it
easier to identify which firmware is running on the device when
switching between branches frequently.
- Release, RC, and slim builds are unaffected — they continue to set
their version string statically in platformio.ini.

/>
## Additional Context
A new PlatformIO pre-build script (scripts/git_branch.py) runs
automatically before every dev build. It reads the base version from the
[crosspoint] section of platformio.ini, queries git rev-parse
--abbrev-ref HEAD for the current branch, and injects the combined
string as the CROSSPOINT_VERSION preprocessor define. In a detached HEAD
state it falls back to the short commit SHA. If git is unavailable it
warns and falls back to unknown.
The script can also be run directly with python scripts/git_branch.py
for validation without triggering a full build.

## Summary
* platformio.ini is a repository based config for platformio and cannot
be modified without constant nagging of git to include it into you
commits
* PlatformIO allows you to split your configuration into multiple files
using the extra_configs option in the [platformio] block. This
effectively merges other .ini files into your main one. This will be
silently ignored if such a file does not exist
## Additional Context
* Modifiy platformio.ini and add a .gitignore entry to ignore your local
config
* eg my own ``platformio.local.ini``:
```
[env:custom]
extends = base
build_flags =
${base.build_flags}
-DCROSSPOINT_VERSION=\"${crosspoint.version}-custom\"
; inclusion of additional fonts is disabled in custom builds to save space
-DOMIT_FONTS

## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
This PR introduces Internationalization (i18n) support, enabling users
to switch the UI language dynamically.
**What changes are included?**
- Core Logic: Added I18n class (`lib/I18n/I18n.h/cpp`) to manage
language state and string retrieval.
- Data Structures:
- `lib/I18n/I18nStrings.h/cpp`: Static string arrays for each supported
language.
- `lib/I18n/I18nKeys.h`: Enum definitions for type-safe string access.
- `lib/I18n/translations.csv`: single source of truth.
- Documentation: Added `docs/i18n.md` detailing the workflow for
developers and translators.
- New Settings activity:
`src/activities/settings/LanguageSelectActivity.h/cpp`
## Additional Context
This implementation (building on concepts from #505) prioritizes
performance and memory efficiency.
The core approach is to store all localized strings for each language in
dedicated arrays and access them via enums. This provides O(1) access
with zero runtime overhead, and avoids the heap allocations, hashing,
and collision handling required by `std::map` or `std::unordered_map`.
The main trade-off is that enums and string arrays must remain perfectly
synchronized—any mismatch would result in incorrect strings being
displayed in the UI.
To eliminate this risk, I added a Python script that automatically
generates `I18nStrings.h/.cpp` and `I18nKeys.h` from a CSV file, which
will serve as the single source of truth for all translations. The full
design and workflow are documented in `docs/i18n.md`.
### Next Steps
- [x] Python script `generate_i18n.py` to auto-generate C++ files from
CSV
- [x] Populate translations.csv with initial translations.
Currently available translations: English, Español, Français, Deutsch,
Čeština, Português (Brasil), Русский, Svenska.
Thanks, community!
**Status:** EDIT: ready to be merged.
As a proof of concept, the SPANISH strings currently mirror the English
ones, but are fully uppercased.

## Summary
* I am getting miniz warning during compilation: "Using fopen, ftello,
fseeko, stat() etc. path for file I/O - this path may not support large
files."
* Disable the io module from miniz as it is not used and get rid of the
warning
## Additional Context
* the ZipFile.cpp implementation only uses tinfl_decompressor,
tinfl_init(), and tinfl_decompress() (low-level API) and does all ZIP
file parsing manually using SD card file I/O
* it never uses miniz's high-level file functions like
mz_zip_reader_init_file()
* so we can disable Miniz io-stack be setting MINIZ_NO_STDIO to 1

## Summary
- Add embedded image support to EPUB rendering with JPEG and PNG
decoders
- Implement pixel caching system to cache decoded/dithered images to SD
card for faster re-rendering
- Add 4-level grayscale support for display
## Changes
### New Image Rendering System
- Add `ImageBlock` class to represent an image with its cached path and
display dimensions
- Add `PageImage` class as a new `PageElement` type for images on pages
- Add `ImageToFramebufferDecoder` interface for format-specific image
decoders
- Add `JpegToFramebufferConverter` - JPEG decoder with Bayer dithering
and scaling
- Add `PngToFramebufferConverter` - PNG decoder with Bayer dithering and
scaling
- Add `ImageDecoderFactory` to select appropriate decoder based on file
extension
- Add `getRenderMode()` to GfxRenderer for grayscale render mode queries
### Dithering and Grayscale
- Implement 4x4 Bayer ordered dithering for 4-level grayscale output
- Stateless algorithm works correctly with MCU block decoding
- Handles scaling without artifacts
- Add grayscale render mode support (BW, GRAYSCALE_LSB, GRAYSCALE_MSB)
- Image decoders and cache renderer respect current render mode
- Enables proper 4-level e-ink grayscale when anti-aliasing is enabled
### Pixel Caching
- Cache decoded/dithered images to `.pxc` files on SD card
- Cache format: 2-bit packed pixels (4 pixels per byte) with
width/height header
- On subsequent renders, load directly from cache instead of re-decoding
- Cache renderer supports grayscale render modes for multi-pass
rendering
- Significantly improves page navigation speed for image-heavy EPUBs
### HTML Parser Integration
- Update `ChapterHtmlSlimParser` to process `<img>` tags and extract
images from EPUB
- Resolve relative image paths within EPUB ZIP structure
- Extract images to cache directory before decoding
- Create `PageImage` elements with proper scaling to fit viewport
- Fall back to alt text display if image processing fails
### Build Configuration
- Add `PNG_MAX_BUFFERED_PIXELS=6402` to support up to 800px wide images
### Test Script
- Generate test EPUBs with annotated JPEG and PNG images
- Test cases cover: grayscale (4 levels), centering, scaling, cache
performance
## Test plan
- [x] Open EPUB with JPEG images - verify images display with proper
grayscale
- [x] Open EPUB with PNG images - verify images display correctly and no
crash
- [x] Navigate away from image page and back - verify faster load from
cache
- [x] Verify grayscale tones render correctly (not just black/white
dithering)
- [x] Verify large images are scaled down to fit screen
- [x] Verify images are centered horizontally
- [x] Verify page serialization/deserialization works with images
- [x] Verify images rendered in landscape mode

## Summary
Closes#766. Thank you for the help @bramschulting!
**What is the goal of this PR?**
- First and foremost, fix issue #766.
- Through working on that, I realized the current CSS parsing/loading
code can be improved dramatically for large files and still had
additional performance improvements to be made, even with EPUBs with
small CSS.
**What changes are included?**
- Stream CSS parsing and reuse normalization buffers to cut allocations
- Add rule limits and selector validation to release rules and free up
memory when needed
- Skip CSS parsing/loading entirely when "Book's Embedded Style" is off
## Additional Context
- My test EPUB has been updated
[here](https://github.com/jdk2pq/css-test-epub) to include a very large
CSS file to test this out

## Summary
* Definition and use of a central LOG function, that can later be
extended or completely be removed (for public use where debugging
information may not be required) to save flash by suppressing the
-DENABLE_SERIAL_LOG like in the slim branch
* **What changes are included?**
## Additional Context
* By using the central logger the usual:
```
#include <HardwareSerial.h>
...
Serial.printf("[%lu] [WCS] Obfuscating/deobfuscating %zu bytes\n", millis(), data.size());
```
would then become
```
#include <Logging.h>
...
LOG_DBG("WCS", "Obfuscating/deobfuscating %zu bytes", data.size());
```
You do have ``LOG_DBG`` for debug messages, ``LOG_ERR`` for error
messages and ``LOG_INF`` for informational messages. Depending on the
verbosity level defined (see below) soe of these message types will be
suppressed/not-compiled.
* The normal compilation (default) will create a firmware.elf file of
42.194.356 bytes, the same code via slim will create 42.024.048 bytes -
170.308 bytes less
* Firmware.bin : 6.469.984 bytes for default, 6.418.672 bytes for slim -
51.312 bytes less

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** Fix WiFi file transfer stability
issues (especially crashes during uploads) and improve upload speed via
WebSocket binary protocol. File transfers now don't really crash as
much, if they do it recovers and speed has gone form 50KB/s to 300+KB/s.
* **What changes are included?**
- **WebSocket upload support** - Adds WebSocket binary protocol for file
uploads, achieving faster speeds 335 KB/s vs HTTP multipart)
- **Watchdog stability fixes** - Adds `esp_task_wdt_reset()` calls
throughout upload path to prevent watchdog timeouts during:
- File creation (FAT allocation can be slow)
- SD card write operations
- HTTP header parsing
- WebSocket chunk processing
- **4KB write buffering** - Batches SD card writes to reduce I/O
overhead
- **WiFi health monitoring** - Detects WiFi disconnection in STA mode
and exits gracefully
- **Improved handleClient loop** - 500 iterations with periodic watchdog
resets and button checks for responsiveness
- **Progress bar improvements** - Fixed jumping/inaccurate progress by
capping local progress at 95% until server confirms completion
- **Exit button responsiveness** - Button now checked inside the
handleClient loop every 64 iterations
- **Reduced exit delays** - Decreased shutdown delays from ~850ms to
~140ms
**Files changed:**
- `platformio.ini` - Added WebSockets library dependency
- `CrossPointWebServer.cpp/h` - WebSocket server, upload buffering,
watchdog resets
- `CrossPointWebServerActivity.cpp` - WiFi monitoring, improved loop,
button handling
- `FilesPage.html` - WebSocket upload JavaScript with HTTP fallback
## Additional Context
- WebSocket uses 4KB chunks with backpressure management to prevent
ESP32 buffer overflow
- Falls back to HTTP automatically if WebSocket connection fails
- The main bottleneck now is SD card write speed (~44% of transfer
time), not WiFi
- STA mode was more prone to crashes than AP mode due to external
network factors; WiFi health monitoring helps detect and handle
disconnections gracefully

## Summary
- **What is the goal of this PR?**
Implements wireless EPUB file management via a built-in web server,
enabling users to upload, browse, organize, and delete EPUB files from
any device on the same WiFi network without needing a computer cable
connection.
- **What changes are included?**
- **New Web Server**
([`CrossPointWebServer.cpp`](src/CrossPointWebServer.cpp),
[`CrossPointWebServer.h`](src/CrossPointWebServer.h)):
- HTTP server on port 80 with a responsive HTML/CSS interface
- Home page showing device status (version, IP, free memory)
- File Manager with folder navigation and breadcrumb support
- EPUB file upload with progress tracking
- Folder creation and file/folder deletion
- XSS protection via HTML escaping
- Hidden system folders (`.` prefixed, "System Volume Information",
"XTCache")
- **WiFi Screen** ([`WifiScreen.cpp`](src/screens/WifiScreen.cpp),
[`WifiScreen.h`](src/screens/WifiScreen.h)):
- Network scanning with signal strength indicators
- Visual indicators for encrypted (`*`) and saved (`+`) networks
- State machine managing: scanning, network selection, password entry,
connecting, save/forget prompts
- 15-second connection timeout handling
- Integration with web server (starts on connect, stops on exit)
- **WiFi Credential Storage**
([`WifiCredentialStore.cpp`](src/WifiCredentialStore.cpp),
[`WifiCredentialStore.h`](src/WifiCredentialStore.h)):
- Persistent storage in `/sd/.crosspoint/wifi.bin`
- XOR obfuscation for stored passwords (basic protection against casual
reading)
- Up to 8 saved networks with add/remove/update operations
- **On-Screen Keyboard**
([`OnScreenKeyboard.cpp`](src/screens/OnScreenKeyboard.cpp),
[`OnScreenKeyboard.h`](src/screens/OnScreenKeyboard.h)):
- Reusable QWERTY keyboard component with shift support
- Special keys: Shift, Space, Backspace, Done
- Support for password masking mode
- **Settings Screen Integration**
([`SettingsScreen.h`](src/screens/SettingsScreen.h)):
- Added WiFi action to navigate to the new WiFi screen
- **Documentation** ([`docs/webserver.md`](docs/webserver.md)):
- Comprehensive user guide covering WiFi setup, web interface usage,
file management, troubleshooting, and security notes
- See this for more screenshots!
- Working "displays the right way in GitHub" on my repo:
https://github.com/olearycrew/crosspoint-reader/blob/feature/connect-to-wifi/docs/webserver.md
**Video demo**
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/283e32dc-2d9f-4ae2-848e-01f41166a731
## Additional Context
- **Security considerations**: The web server has no
authentication—anyone on the same WiFi network can access files. This is
documented as a limitation, recommending use only on trusted private
networks. Password obfuscation in the credential store is XOR-based, not
cryptographically secure.
- **Memory implications**: The web server and WiFi stack consume
significant memory. The implementation properly cleans up (stops server,
disconnects WiFi, sets `WIFI_OFF` mode) when exiting the WiFi screen to
free resources.
- **Async operations**: Network scanning and connection use async
patterns with FreeRTOS tasks to prevent blocking the UI. The display
task handles rendering on a dedicated thread with mutex protection.
- **Browser compatibility**: The web interface uses standard
HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript and is tested to work with all modern browsers on
desktop and mobile.
