Port three new upstream commits and align the existing #1002 port:
- PR #1014: Strip unused CSS rules by filtering unsupported selector
types (+, >, [, :, #, ~, *, descendants) in processRuleBlockWithStyle.
Fix normalized() trailing whitespace to also strip newlines.
- PR #1018: Add deleteCache() to CssParser, move CSS_CACHE_VERSION to
static class member, remove stale cache on version mismatch, invalidate
section caches (Storage.removeDir) when CSS is rebuilt. Refactor
parseCssFiles() to early-return when cache exists.
- PR #990: Adapt classic theme continue-reading card width to cover
aspect ratio (clamped to 90% screen width), increase homeTopPadding
20->40, fix centering with rect.x offset for boxX/continueBoxX.
- #1002 alignment: Add tryInterpretLength() to skip non-numeric CSS
values (auto, inherit), add "both width and height set" image sizing
branch in ChapterHtmlSlimParser.

Cherry-pick upstream commit 07d715e which refactors renderChar and
drawTextRotated90CW into a template-based renderCharImpl, hoisting
the is2Bit branch outside inner pixel loops for 15-23% speedup.
Additionally extends the template with Rotated90CCW to fix two bugs
in the mod's drawTextRotated90CCW: operator precedence in bmpVal
calculation and missing compressed font support via getGlyphBitmap.

- fix(PNGdec): Increase PNG_MAX_BUFFERED_PIXELS to 16416 for 2048px

Replace HALF_REFRESH with double FAST_REFRESH technique for the BW
pass when dithered letterbox fill is active. This avoids the e-ink
crosstalk and image corruption that occurred when HALF_REFRESH drove
large areas of dithered gray pixels simultaneously.
Revert the hash-based block dithering workaround (bayerCrossesBwBoundary,
hashBlockDither) back to standard Bayer dithering for all gray ranges,
since the root cause was HALF_REFRESH rather than the dithering pattern
itself.
Letterbox fill is now included in all three render passes (BW, LSB, MSB)
so the greyscale LUT treats letterbox pixels identically to cover pixels,
maintaining color-matched edges.

**What is the goal of this PR?**
Compress reader font bitmaps to reduce flash usage by 30.7%.
**What changes are included?**
- New `EpdFontGroup` struct and extended `EpdFontData` with
`groups`/`groupCount` fields
- `--compress` flag in `fontconvert.py`: groups glyphs (ASCII base group
+ groups of 8) and compresses each with raw DEFLATE
- `FontDecompressor` class with 4-slot LRU cache for on-demand
decompression during rendering
- `GfxRenderer` transparently routes bitmap access through
`getGlyphBitmap()` (compressed or direct flash)
- Uses `uzlib` for decompression with minimal heap overhead.
- 48 reader fonts (Bookerly, NotoSans 12-18pt, OpenDyslexic) regenerated
with compression; 5 UI fonts unchanged
- Round-trip verification script (`verify_compression.py`) runs as part
of font generation

## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
This change fixes an issue I noticed while reading where occasionally,
especially in italics, some words would have too much space between
them. The problem was that word width calculations were including any
negative X overhang, and combined with a space before the word, that can
lead to an inconsistently large space.

* Fixes:
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/issues/947
**What changes are included?**
* Check to see if there's free heap memory before processing CSS (should

* Skip CSS files larger than 128kb
## Additional Context
* I found that a copy of `Release it` contained a 250kb+ CSS file, from
the homepage of the publisher. It has nothing to do with the epub, so we
should just skip it
* Major question: Are there better ways to detect CSS that doesn't
belong in a book, or is this size-based approach valid?
* Another question: Are there any epubs we know of that legitimately
include >128kb CSS files?

## Summary
* What is the goal of this PR?
- Allow users to create custom sleep screen images with standard tools
(ImageMagick, GIMP, etc.) that render cleanly on the e-ink display
without dithering artifacts. Previously, avoiding dithering required
non-standard 2-bit BMPs that no standard image editor can produce. ( see
issue #931 )
* What changes are included?
- Add 4-bit BMP format support to Bitmap.cpp (standard format, widely
supported by image tools)
- Auto-detect "native palette" images: if a BMP has ≤4 palette entries
and all luminances map within ±21 of the display's native gray levels
(0, 85, 170, 255), skip dithering entirely and direct-map pixels
- Clarify pixel processing strategy with three distinct paths:
error-diffusion dithering, simple quantization, or direct mapping
- Add scripts/generate_test_bmps.py for generating test images across
all supported BMP formats
## Additional Context
* The e-ink display has 4 native gray levels. When a BMP already uses
exactly those levels, dithering adds noise to what should be clean
output. The native palette detection uses a ±21 tolerance (~10%) to
handle slight rounding from color space conversions in image tools.
Users can now create a 4-color grayscale BMP with (imagemagic example):
```
convert input.png -colorspace Gray -colors 4 -depth
```

## Summary
* Original implementation had inconsistent positioning logic:
- When XPath parsing succeeded: incorrectly set pageNumber = 0 (always
beginning of chapter)
- When XPath parsing failed: used percentage for positioning (worked
correctly)
- Result: Positions restored to wrong locations depending on XPath
parsing success
- Mentioned in Issue #581
* Solution
- Unified ProgressMapper::toCrossPoint() to use percentage-based
positioning exclusively for both spine identification and intra-chapter
page calculation, eliminating unreliable XPath parsing entirely.
## Additional Context
* ProgressMapper.cpp: Simplified toCrossPoint() to always use percentage
for positioning, removed parseDocFragmentIndex() function
* ProgressMapper.h: Updated comments and removed unused function
declaration
* Tests confirmed appropriate positioning
* __Notabene: the syncing to another device will (most probably) end up
at the current chapter of crosspoints reading position. There is not
much we can do about it, as KOReader needs to have the correct XPath
information - we can only provide an apporximate position (plus
percentage) - the percentage information is not used in KOReaders
current implementation__

I want to preface this PR by stating that the proposed changes are
subjective to people's opinions. The following is just my suggestion,
but I'm of course open to changes.
The popups in the currently implemented version of the Lyra theme feel a
bit out of place. This PR suggests an updated version which looks a bit
more polished and in line with the rest of the theme.
I've also taken the liberty to remove the ellipsis behind the text of
the popups, as they made the popup feel a bit off balance (example
below).
With the applied changes, popups will look like this.
The vertical position is (more or less) aligned to be in line with the
sleep button. I'm aware the popup is used for other purposes aside from
the sleep message, but this still felt like a good place. It's also a
place where your eyes naturally 'rest'.
The popup has a small 2px white outline, neatly separating it from
whatever is behind it.
Initially I started out worked off the Figma design for the Lyra theme,
which [moves the
popups](https://www.figma.com/design/UhxoV4DgUnfrDQgMPPTXog/Lyra-Theme?node-id=2011-19296&t=Ppj6B2MrFRfUo9YX-1)
to the bottom of the screen. To me, this results in popups that are much
too easy to miss:
After this, I tried moving the popup back up (to the position of the
sleep button), but to me it still kinda disappeared into the text of the
book:
Inverting the colors of the popup made things stand out the perfect
amount in my opinion. The white outline separates the popup from what is
behind it.
This looked much better to me. The only thing that felt a bit off to me,
was the balance due to the ellipsis at the end of the popup text. Also,
"Entering Sleep..." felt a bit.. engineer-y. I felt something a bit more
'conversational' makes at all feel a bit more human-centric. But I'm no
copywriter, and English is not even my native language. So feel free to
chip in!
After tweaking that, I ended up with the final result:
_(Same picture as the first one shown in this PR)_
* Figma design:

Port PR #979's silent pre-indexing and add an Indexing Display setting
(Popup / Status Bar Text / Status Bar Icon) so users can choose how
indexing feedback is shown.
Silent pre-indexing runs on text-only penultimate pages when a status
bar option is selected, with a standard requestUpdate to clear the
indicator. Image pages skip silent indexing to avoid e-ink grayscale
pipeline conflicts; the normal popup handles those transitions. Direct
chapter jumps always show the original small popup regardless of setting.

Issues solved: #729 and #739
## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Currently, the battery icon and charge percentage were aligned to the
left even for the UI, where they were positioned on the right side of
the screen. This meant that when changing values of different numbers of
digits, the battery would shift, creating a block of icons and text that
was illegible.
* **What changes are included?**
- Add drawBatteryUi() method for right-aligned battery display in UI
headers
- Keep drawBattery() for left-aligned display in reader mode
- Extract drawBatteryIcon() helper to reduce code duplication
- Battery icon now stays fixed at right edge regardless of percentage
digits
- Text adjusts to left of icon in UI mode, to right of icon in reader
mode
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
* This fix applies to both themes (Base and Lyra).

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Implements the new feature for

Empty Button Icons (I.E. Back button in the home menu) were still
rendering the full sized white rectangles going passed the boarders of
the little button nub. This was not visible on the home screen due to
the white background, but it does cause issues if we ever want to have
bmp files displayed while buttons are visible or implement a dark mode.
* **What changes are included?**
Made it so that when a button hint text is empty string or null the
displayed mini button nub does not have a white rectangle extending
passed the bounds of the mini button nub
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks,
specific areas to focus on).
Having that extended rectangle was likely never noticed due to the only
space where that feature is used being the main menu where the
background is completely white. I am working on some new features that
would have an image displayed while there are button hints and noticed
this issue while implementing that.
One other note is that this only affects the Lyra Theme

**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`
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`.
- [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.

I used AI for the black work of replacing strings with I18n references
across the project, and for generating the documentation. EDIT: also
some help with merging changes from master.

Currently, each activity has to manage their own `displayTaskLoop` which
adds redundant boilerplate code. The loop is a wait loop which is also
not the best practice, as the `updateRequested` boolean is not protected
by a mutex.
In this PR:
- Move `displayTaskLoop` to the super `Activity` class
- Replace `updateRequested` with freeRTOS's [direct to task
notification](https://www.freertos.org/Documentation/02-Kernel/02-Kernel-features/03-Direct-to-task-notifications/01-Task-notifications)
- For `ActivityWithSubactivity`, whenever a sub-activity is present, the
parent's `render()` automatically goes inactive
With this change, activities now only need to expose `render()`
function, and anywhere in the code base can call `requestUpdate()` to
request a new rendering pass.
In theory, this change may also make the battery life a bit better,
since one wait loop is removed. Although the equipment in my home lab
wasn't been able to verify it (the electric current is too noisy and
small). Would appreciate if anyone has any insights on this subject.
Update: I managed to hack [a small piece of
code](https://github.com/ngxson/crosspoint-reader/tree/xsn/measure_cpu_usage)
that allow tracking CPU idle time.
The CPU load does decrease a bit (1.47% down to 1.39%), which make
sense, because the display task is now sleeping most of the time unless
notified. This should translate to a slightly increase in battery life
in the long run.
