## Summary
Properly implement `requestUpdateAndWait()` using freeRTOS direct task
notification.
FWIW, I think most of the current use cases of `requestUpdateAndWait()`
are redundant, better to be replaced by `requestUpdate(true)`. But just
keeping them in case we can find a proper use case for it in the future.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Implements the new feature for
file uploading.)
Allow users to better manage their epub library by offloading unwanted
or finished books and other files. Resolves#893
* **What changes are included?**
Added Delete Book shortcut in the fil browser. Delete function
implements the new ConfirmationActivity to show file name and solicit
user interaction before either returning to the file browser on a press
of the back button, or proceeding to delete. Delete function then
deletes the file and returns user to the file browser menu at the
current directory. Video of it working on my machine attached here:

Certainly potential risks associated with file deletion. Please let me
know if there are any concerns that need to be better addressed. I think
this is a very good feature to have to go along with the new screenshots
so you don't get stuck with a bunch of extra files on your device. Also
I did add this to the user guide.

## Summary
Fix https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/issues/1137
Introducing `HalFile`, a thin wrapper around `FsFile` that uses a global
mutex to protect file operations.
To test this PR, place the code below somewhere in the code base (I
placed it in `onGoToRecentBooks`)
```cpp
static auto testTask = [](void* param) {
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
String json = Storage.readFile("/.crosspoint/settings.json");
LOG_DBG("TEST_TASK", "Read settings.json, bytes read: %u", json.length());
}
vTaskDelete(nullptr);
};
xTaskCreate(testTask, "test0", 8192, nullptr, 1, nullptr);
xTaskCreate(testTask, "test1", 8192, nullptr, 1, nullptr);
xTaskCreate(testTask, "test2", 8192, nullptr, 1, nullptr);
xTaskCreate(testTask, "test3", 8192, nullptr, 1, nullptr);
delay(1000);
```
It will reliably lead to crash on `master`, but will function correctly
with this PR.
A macro renaming trick is used to avoid changing too many downstream
code files.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Implements the new feature for
file uploading.)
Fixes a clarity issue regarding the translation string `STR_SET`. The
issue lies in the fact that the english word can have different
meanings.
The only time the string is used is in the language selectio screen,
where it has the meaning of _selected_. (As in _The language has been
**set** to French_).
Another meaning can be _configured_. (As in _The KOReader username has
been __set__). This is the meaning many of the translations have taken.
The reason that the string is right above `STR_NOT_SET` (which is meant
as _not configured_).
With this PR I propose to explicitly use the term "_Selected_". There
are two good reasons for this:
+ it removes the confusion and the misleading translations
+ it is consistent with the button label `Select`, communicating the
link between the two (the row will be marked `Selected` if you press the
buttpn `Select`. Much clearer than now)
* **What changes are included?**
Removed the unused strings and added translations for the new string
`STR_SELECTED` for the languages I know.

the Issue was introduced in #1020. Previously, if a language was

reverting it back to that, but the solution I described above seemed
superior.

## Summary
Ref comment:
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/1010#pullrequestreview-3828854640
This PR introduces `ActivityManager`, which mirrors the same concept of
Activity in Android, where an activity represents a single screen of the
UI. The manager is responsible for launching activities, and ensuring
that only one activity is active at a time.
Main differences from Android's ActivityManager:
- No concept of Bundle or Intent extras
- No onPause/onResume, since we don't have a concept of background
activities
- onActivityResult is implemented via a callback instead of a separate
method, for simplicity
## Key changes
- Single `renderTask` shared across all activities
- No more sub-activity, we manage them using a stack; Results can be
passed via `startActivityForResult` and `setResult`
- Activity can call `finish()` to destroy themself, but the actual
deletion will be handled by `ActivityManager` to avoid `delete this`
pattern
As a bonus: the manager will automatically call `requestUpdate()` when
returning from another activity
## Example usage
**BEFORE**:
```cpp
// caller
enterNewActivity(new WifiSelectionActivity(renderer, mappedInput,
[this](const bool connected) { onWifiSelectionComplete(connected); }));
// subactivity
onComplete(true); // will eventually call exitActivity(), which deletes the caller instance (dangerous behavior)
```
**AFTER**: (mirrors the `startActivityForResult` and `setResult` from
android)
```cpp
// caller
startActivityForResult(new NetworkModeSelectionActivity(renderer, mappedInput),
[this](const ActivityResult& result) { onNetworkModeSelected(result.selectedNetworkMode); });
// subactivity
ActivityResult result;
result.isCancelled = false;
result.selectedNetworkMode = mode;
setResult(result);
finish(); // signals to ActivityManager to go back to last activity AFTER this function returns
```
TODO:
- [x] Reconsider if the `Intent` is really necessary or it should be
removed (note: it's inspired by
[Intent](https://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-common)
from Android API) ==> I decided to keep this pattern fr clarity
- [x] Verify if behavior is still correct (i.e. back from sub-activity)
- [x] Refactor the `ActivityWithSubactivity` to just simple `Activity`
--> We are using a stack for keeping track of sub-activity now
- [x] Use single task for rendering --> avoid allocating 8KB stack per
activity
- [x] Implement the idea of [Activity
result](https://developer.android.com/training/basics/intents/result)
--> Allow sub-activity like Wifi to report back the status (connected,
failed, etc)

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Fix an infinite render loop bug in CalibreConnectActivity that caused
the e-ink display to refresh continuously every ~421ms after a file
transfer completed.
* **What changes are included?**
- Added lastProcessedCompleteAt member variable to track which server
completion timestamp has already been processed
- Modified the completion status update logic to only accept new values
from the server, preventing re-processing of old timestamps
- Added clarifying comments explaining the fix
## Problem Description
After receiving a file via Calibre Wireless, the activity displays
"Received: [filename]" for 6 seconds, then clears the message. However,
the web server's wsLastCompleteAt timestamp persists indefinitely and is
never cleared.
This created a race condition:
After 6 seconds, lastCompleteAt is set to 0 (timeout)
In the next loop iteration, status.lastCompleteAt (still has the old
timestamp) ≠ lastCompleteAt (0)
The code restores lastCompleteAt from the server value
Immediately, the 6-second timeout condition is met again
This creates an infinite cycle causing unnecessary e-ink refreshes
## Solution
The fix introduces lastProcessedCompleteAt to track which server
timestamp value has already been processed:
Only accept a new status.lastCompleteAt if it differs from
lastProcessedCompleteAt
Update lastProcessedCompleteAt when processing a new value
Do NOT reset lastProcessedCompleteAt when the 6-second timeout clears
lastCompleteAt
This prevents re-processing the same old server value after the timeout.
## Testing
Tested on device with multiple file transfer scenarios:
✅ File received message appears correctly after transfer
✅ Message clears after 6 seconds as expected
✅ No infinite render loop after timeout
✅ Multiple consecutive transfers work correctly
✅ Exiting and re-entering Calibre Wireless works as expected
## Performance Impact
Before: Infinite refreshes every ~421ms after timeout (high battery
drain, display wear)
After: 2-3 refreshes after timeout, then stops (normal behavior)
## Additional Context
This is a targeted fix that only affects the Calibre Wireless file
transfer screen. The root cause is the architectural difference between
the persistent web server state (wsLastCompleteAt) and the per-activity
display state (lastCompleteAt).
An alternative fix would be to clear wsLastCompleteAt in the web server
after some timeout, but that would affect all consumers of the web
server status. The chosen solution keeps the fix localized to
CalibreConnectActivity.

## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?** Implement support for footnotes in epub
files.
It is based on #553, but simplified — removed the parts which
complicated the code and burden the CPU/RAM. This version supports basic
footnotes and lets the user jump from location to location inside the
epub.
**What changes are included?**
- `FootnoteEntry` struct — A small POD struct (number[24], href[64])
shared between parser, page storage, and UI.
- Parser: `<a href>` detection (`ChapterHtmlSlimParser`) — During a
single parsing pass, internal epub links are detected and collected as
footnotes. The link text is underlined to hint navigability.
Bracket/whitespace normalization is applied to the display label (e.g.
[1] → 1).
- Footnote-to-page assignment (`ChapterHtmlSlimParser`, `Page`) —
Footnotes are attached to the exact page where their anchor word
appears, tracked via a cumulative word counter during layout, surviving
paragraph splits and the 750-word mid-paragraph safety flush.
- Page serialization (`Page`, `Section`) — Footnotes are
serialized/deserialized per page (max 16 per page). Section cache
version bumped to 14 to force a clean rebuild.
- Href → spine resolution (`Epub`) — `resolveHrefToSpineIndex()` maps an
href (e.g. `chapter2.xhtml#note1`) to its spine index by filename
matching.
- Footnotes menu + activity (`EpubReaderMenuActivity`,
`EpubReaderFootnotesActivity`) — A new "Footnotes" entry in the reader
menu lists all footnote links found on the current page. The user
scrolls and selects to navigate.
- Navigate & restore (`EpubReaderActivity`) — `navigateToHref()` saves
the current spine index and page number, then jumps to the target. The
Back button restores the saved position when the user is done reading
the footnote.
**Additional Context**
**What was removed vs #553:** virtual spine items
(`addVirtualSpineItem`, `isVirtualSpineItem`), two-pass parsing,
`<aside>` content extraction to temp HTML files, `<p class="note">`
paragraph note extraction, `replaceHtmlEntities` (master already has
`lookupHtmlEntity`), `footnotePages` / `buildFilteredChapterList`,
`noterefCallback` / `Noteref` struct, and the stack size increase from 8
KB to 24 KB (not needed without two-pass parsing and virtual file I/O on
the render task).
**Performance:** Single-pass parsing. No new heap allocations in the hot
path — footnote text is collected into fixed stack buffers (char[24],
char[64]). Active runtime memory is ~2.8 KB worst-case (one page × 16
footnotes × 88 bytes, mirrored in `currentPageFootnotes`). Flash usage
is unchanged at 97.4%; RAM stays at 31%.
**Known limitations:** When clicking a footnote, it jumps to the start
of the HTML file instead of the specific anchor. This could be
problematic for books that don't have separate files for each footnote.
(no element-id-to-page mapping yet - will be another PR soon).

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Implements the new feature for
file uploading.)
Currently we are displaying the languages in the order they were added
(as in the `Language` enum). However, as new languages are coming in,
this will quickly be confusing to the users.
But we can't just change the ordering of the enum if we want to respect
bakwards compatibility.
So my proposal is to add a mapping of the alphabetical order of the
languages. I've made it so that it's generated by the `gen_i18n.py`
script, which will be used when a new language is added.
* **What changes are included?**
Added the array from the python script and changed
`LanguageSelectActivity` to use the indices from there. Also commited
the generated `I18nKeys.h`
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks,
specific areas to focus on).
I was wondering if there is a better way to sort it. Currently, it's by
unicode value and Czech and Russian are last, which I don't know it it's
the most intuitive.
The current order is:
`Català, Deutsch, English, Español, Français, Português (Brasil),
Română, Svenska, Čeština, Русский`

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** KOReader sync on a German-language
book would fail with an out-of-memory error when trying to open the
destination chapter after applying remote progress. The root cause was a
chain of two independent bugs that combined to exhaust the contiguous
heap needed by the EPUB inflate pipeline.
* **What changes are included?**
## Fix 1 — Hyphenation heap defragmentation (LiangHyphenation.cpp)
### What was happening
AugmentedWord, the internal struct used during Liang pattern matching,
held three std::vector<> members (bytes, charByteOffsets,
byteToCharIndex) plus a separate scores vector — a total of 4 heap
allocations per word during page layout. For a German-language section
with hundreds of words, thousands of small malloc/free cycles fragmented
the heap. Total free memory was adequate (~108 KB) but the largest
contiguous block shrank well below the 32 KB needed for the INFLATE ring
buffer used during EPUB decompression. The failure was invisible with
hyphenation disabled, where MaxAlloc stayed at ~77 KB; enabling German
hyphenation silently destroyed the contiguity the allocator needed.
### What changed
The three std::vector<> members of AugmentedWord and the scores vector
are replaced with fixed-size C arrays on the render-task stack:
```
uint8_t bytes[160] // was std::vector<uint8_t>
size_t charByteOffsets[70] // was std::vector<size_t>
int32_t byteToCharIndex[160] // was std::vector<int32_t>
uint8_t scores[70] // was std::vector<uint8_t> (local in liangBreakIndexes)
```
Sizing is based on the longest known German word (~63 codepoints × 2
UTF-8 bytes + 2 sentinel dots = 128 bytes); MAX_WORD_BYTES=160 and
MAX_WORD_CHARS=70 give comfortable headroom. The same analysis holds for
all seven supported languages (en, fr, de, es, it, ru, uk) — every
accepted letter encodes to at most 2 UTF-8 bytes after case-folding.
Words exceeding the limits are silently skipped (no hyphenation
applied), which is correct behaviour. The struct lives on the 8 KB
render-task stack so no permanent DRAM is consumed.
Verification: after the fix, MaxAlloc reads 77,812 bytes with German
hyphenation enabled — identical to the figure previously achievable only
with hyphenation off.
## Fix 2 — WiFi lifecycle in KOReaderSyncActivity
(KOReaderSyncActivity.cpp)
### What was happening
onEnter() called WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA) unconditionally before delegating
to WifiSelectionActivity. WifiSelectionActivity manages WiFi mode
internally (it calls WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA) again at scan start and at
connection attempt). The pre-emptive call from KOReaderSyncActivity
interfered with the sub-activity's own state machine, causing
intermittent connection failures that were difficult to reproduce.
Additionally, WiFi was only shut down in onExit(). If the user chose
"Apply remote progress" the activity exited without turning WiFi off
first, leaving the radio on and its memory allocated while the EPUB was
being decompressed — unnecessarily consuming the contiguous heap
headroom that inflate needed.
### What changed
* WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA) removed from onEnter(). WifiSelectionActivity owns
WiFi mode; KOReaderSyncActivity should not touch it before the
sub-activity runs.
* A wifiOff() helper (SNTP stop + disconnect + WIFI_OFF with settling
delays) is extracted into the anonymous namespace and called at every
web-session exit point:
- "Apply remote" path in loop() — before onSyncComplete()
- performUpload() success path
- performUpload() failure path
- onExit() (safety net for all other exit paths)
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks,
specific areas to focus on).

- Book Progress %
- Progress Bar
- Chapter Title
- Battery Indicator

When updating from a previous version, the user's past settings are
honoured.
## Additional Context
The PR aims to remove any duplication of status bar code where possible,
and extracts the status bar rendering into a new component - StatusBar
It also adds a new (optional) padding option to the progress bar to
allow the status bar to be shifted upwards - this is only intended for
use in the settings.

## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
Improved typesetting, including
[kerning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning) and
[ligatures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_(writing)#Latin_alphabet).
**What changes are included?**
- The script to convert built-in fonts now adds kerning and ligature
information to the generated font headers.
- Epub page layout calculates proper kerning spaces and makes ligature
substitutions according to the selected font.
## Additional Context
- I am not a typography expert.
- The implementation has been reworked from the earlier version, so it
is no longer necessary to omit Open Dyslexic, and kerning data now
covers all fonts, styles, and codepoints for which we include bitmap
data.
- Claude Opus 4.6 helped with a lot of this.
- There's an included test epub document with lots of kerning and
ligature examples, shown in the photos.
**_After some time to mature, I think this change is in decent shape to
merge and get people testing._**
After opening this PR I came across #660, which overlaps in adding
ligature support.

## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
Small cleanup to make getTheme and getMetrics methods on UITheme const.
They return const refs, so updated call sites to use `const auto&`.
Realistically this won't make much performance difference, but it better
conveys the nature of theme metrics being shared const state.

## Summary
- Upgrade platform from espressif32 6.12.0 (Arduino Core 2.0.17) to
pioarduino 55.03.37 (Arduino Core 3.3.7, ESP-IDF 5.5.2)
- Add WebDAV Class 1 server (RFC 4918) - SD card can be mounted as a
network drive
- I also slightly fixed the SDK and also made a [pull request
](https://github.com/open-x4-epaper/community-sdk/pull/21)
First PR #1030 (was closed because the implementation was based on an
old version of the libraries)
Issue #439
---------
Co-authored-by: Dave Allie <dave@daveallie.com>
## Summary
- **SleepActivity.cpp**: Add missing `file.close()` calls in 3 code
paths that open BMP files for sleep screen rendering but never close
them before returning. Affects random custom sleep images, the
`/sleep.bmp` fallback, and book cover sleep screens.
- **CrossPointWebServer.cpp**: Add missing `dir.close()` in the delete
handler when `Storage.open()` returns a valid `FsFile` that is not a
directory.
## Context
SdFat is configured with `DESTRUCTOR_CLOSES_FILE=0`, which means
`FsFile` objects are **not** automatically closed when they go out of
scope. Every opened file must be explicitly closed.
The SleepActivity leaks are particularly impactful because they occur on
every sleep cycle. While ESP32 deep sleep clears RAM on wake, these
leaks can still affect the current session if sleep screen rendering is
triggered multiple times (e.g., cover preview, or if deep sleep fails to
engage).
The web server leak in `handleDelete()` is a minor edge case (directory
path that opens successfully but `isDirectory()` returns false), but
it's still worth fixing for correctness.
## Test plan
- [x] Verify sleep screen still renders correctly (custom BMP, fallback,
cover modes)
- [x] Verify folder deletion still works via the web UI
- [ ] Monitor free heap before/after sleep screen rendering to confirm
no leak

## Summary
* This PR introduces a migration from binary file storage to JSON-based
storage for application settings, state, and various credential stores.
This improves readability, maintainability, and allows for easier manual
configuration editing.
* Benefits:
- Settings files are now JSON and can be easily read/edited manually
- Easier to inspect application state and settings during development
- JSON structure is more flexible for future changes
* Drawback: around 15k of additional flash usage
* Compatibility: Seamless migration preserves existing user data
## Additional Context
1. New JSON I/O Infrastructure files:
- JsonSettingsIO: Core JSON serialization/deserialization logic using
ArduinoJson library
- ObfuscationUtils: XOR-based password obfuscation for sensitive data
2. Migrated Components (now use JSON storage with automatic binary
migration):
- CrossPointSettings (settings.json): Main application settings
- CrossPointState (state.json): Application state (open book, sleep
mode, etc.)
- WifiCredentialStore (wifi.json): WiFi network credentials (Password
Obfuscation: Sensitive data like WiFi passwords, uses XOR encryption
with fixed keys. Note: This is obfuscation, not cryptographic security -
passwords can be recovered with the key)
- KOReaderCredentialStore (koreader.json): KOReader sync credentials
- RecentBooksStore (recent.json): Recently opened books list
3. Migration Logic
- Forward Compatibility: New installations use JSON format
- Backward Compatibility: Existing binary files are automatically
migrated to JSON on first load
- Backup Safety: Original binary files are renamed with .bak extension
after successful migration
- Fallback Handling: If JSON parsing fails, system falls back to binary
loading
4. Infrastructure Updates
- HalStorage: Added rename() method for backup operations

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Implements the new feature for
file uploading.)
Implement automatic dark theme on server files.
Instead of a big change proposed in
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/837, this PR
introduces a simple implementation of light/dark themes.
* **What changes are included?**
- Choose `#6e9a82` as accent color (taken from
)
- Implement a very basic media query for dark themes (`@media
(prefers-color-scheme: dark)`)
- Update style using CSS variables
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks,
specific areas to focus on).
We can think of it as a incremental enhancement, this is the first phase
of a series of PRs (hopefully).
Next steps/Phases:
1. Light/Dark themes (this PR)
2. Load external CSS file to avoid duplication
3. HTML enhancement (for example, use dialog element instead of divs)
4. Use SVG instead of emojis
5. Use Vite + Typescript to improve DX and have better minification

Implements new feature for viewing .bmp files directly from the "Browse
Files" menu.
* **What changes are included?**
You can now view .bmp files when browsing. You can click the select
button to open the file, and then click back to close it and continue
browsing in the same location. Once open a file will display on the
screen with no additional options to interact outside of exiting with
the back button.

The changes implemented in #884 are also present here as this feature is
actually what led to me noticing this issue. I figured I would add that
PR as a separate request in case that one could be more easily merged
given this feature is significantly more complicated and will likely be
subject to more intense review.

## Summary
Fixes https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/issues/1011
Use double FAST_REFRESH for image pages to prevent grayscale washout,
HALF_REFRESH sets e-ink particles too firmly for the grayscale LUT to
adjust, causing washed-out images (especially large, light-gray ones).
Replace HALF_REFRESH with @pablohc's double FAST_REFRESH technique:
blank only the image bounding box area, then re-render with images. This
clears ghosting while keeping particles loosely set for grayscale.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** Small fix for bug I found.
## Additional Context
1. `RecentBooksActivity::loop()` calls
`onSelectBook(recentBooks[selectorIndex].path)` - passing a
**reference** to the path
2. `onSelectBook` is `onGoToReader` which first calls `exitActivity()`
3. `exitActivity()` triggers `RecentBooksActivity::onExit()` which call
`recentBooks.clear()`
4. The string reference `initialEpubPath` is now a **dangling
reference** - the underlying string has been destroyed
5. When the reference is then used in `new ReaderActivity(...)`, it
reads garbage memory
6. The same issue occurs in `HomeActivity` at line 200 with the same
pattern
The fix is to make a copy of the string in `onGoToReader` before calling
`exitActivity()`, so the path data persists even after the activity
clears its data structures.

### AI Usage
Did you use AI tools to help write this code? _**< YES >**_ Claude found
the bug, after I shared with it a serial log.
## Summary
The introduction of `HalGPIO` moved the `BatteryMonitor battery` object
into the member function `HalGPIO::getBatteryPercentage()`.
Then, with the introduction of `HalPowerManager`, this function was
moved to `HalPowerManager::getBatteryPercentage()`.
However, the original `BatteryMonitor battery` object is still utilized
by themes for displaying the battery percentage.
This PR replaces these deprecated uses of `BatteryMonitor battery` with
the new `HalPowerManager::getBatteryPercentage()` function.

## Summary
- `UITheme::currentTheme` was a raw owning pointer with no destructor,
causing a heap leak every time `setTheme()` was called (e.g. on
theme change via settings reload)
## Additional Context
- Replaced `const BaseTheme*` with `std::unique_ptr<BaseTheme>` so the
previous theme object is automatically deleted on reassignment
- Added `<memory>` include to `UITheme.h`; allocations updated to
`std::make_unique<>` in `UITheme.cpp`

## 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__

## Summary
**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
## Additional Context
## Flash & RAM
| | baseline | font-compression | Difference |

## Script-Based Grouping (Cold Cache)
Comparison of uncompressed baseline vs script-based group compression
(4-slot LRU cache, cleared each page). Glyphs are grouped by Unicode
block (ASCII, Latin-1, Latin Extended-A, Combining Marks, Cyrillic,
General Punctuation, etc.) instead of sequential groups of 8.

## Summary
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.
### Alternatives considered and rationale behind proposal
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)_

similar instances I could find.
