## 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?**
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.

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.

## 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
Continue my changes to introduce the HAL infrastructure from
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/522
This PR touches quite a lot of files, but most of them are just name
changing. It should not have any impacts to the end behavior.
## Additional Context
My plan is to firstly add this small shim layer, which sounds useless at
first, but then I'll implement an emulated driver which can be helpful
for testing and for development.
Currently, on my fork, I'm using a FS driver that allow "mounting" a
local directory from my computer to the device, much like the `-v` mount
option on docker. This allows me to quickly reset `.crosspoint`
directory if anything goes wrong. I plan to upstream this feature when
this PR get merged.

Fix for the page skip issue detected
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/700#issuecomment-3856374323
by user @whyte-j
Skipping down on the last page now skips to the last item, and up on the
first page to the first item, rather than wrapping around the list in a
weird way.
## Additional Context
The calculation was outdated after several changes were added afterwards

## Summary
Reduce/fix the lag on the home screen before recent book covers are
rendered
## Additional Context
We were previously rendering the screen in two steps, delaying the
recent book covers render to avoid a lag before the screen loads.
In this PR, we are now doing that only if at least one book doesn't have
the cover thumbnail generated yet. If all thumbs are already generated,
we load and display them right away, with no lag.

## Summary
This pull request introduces a new "Chapter Progress Bar" mode to the
status bar, allowing users to track their progress within the current
chapter in addition to the existing book-level progress options. It also
unifies and increases the progress bar height for better visibility, and
updates the settings UI to support the new mode.
Closes#636
**Status Bar/Progress Bar Enhancements:**
* Added a new `CHAPTER_PROGRESS_BAR` mode to
`CrossPointSettings::STATUS_BAR_MODE`, and updated the settings UI to
allow users to select this mode.

* Implemented `drawChapterProgressBar` in `ScreenComponents` and
integrated it into both EPUB and TXT reader activities, so the chapter
progress bar is displayed when the new mode is selected.

status bar mode, including the new chapter progress bar mode.

visibility, and refactored code to use the new constant.

tracking options and a clearer visual indicator for reading progress.

## Summary
### What is the goal of this PR?
- Visual UI overhaul
- UI theme selection
### What changes are included?
- Added a setting "UI Theme": Classic, Lyra
- The classic theme is the current Crosspoint theme
- The Lyra theme implements these mockups:
https://www.figma.com/design/UhxoV4DgUnfrDQgMPPTXog/Lyra-Theme?node-id=2003-7596&t=4CSOZqf0n9uQMxDt-0
by Discord users yagofarias, ruby and gan_shu
- New functions in GFXRenderer to render rounded rectangles, greyscale
fills (using dithering) and thick lines
- Basic UI components are factored into BaseTheme methods which can be
overridden by each additional theme. Methods that are not overridden
will fallback to BaseTheme behavior. This means any new
features/components in CrossPoint only need to be developed for the
"Classic" BaseTheme.
- Additional themes can easily be developed by the community using this
foundation



## Additional Context
- Only the Home, Library and main Settings screens have been implemented
so far, this will be extended to the transfer screens and chapter
selection screen later on, but we need to get the ball rolling somehow
:)
- Loading extra covers on the home screen in the Lyra theme takes a
little more time (about 2 seconds), I added a loading bar popup (reusing
the Indexing progress bar from the reader view, factored into a neat UI
component) but the popup adds ~400ms to the loading time.
- ~~Home screen thumbnails will need to be generated separately for each
theme, because they are displayed in different sizes. Because we're
using dithering, displaying a thumb with the wrong size causes the
picture to look janky or dark as it does on the screenshots above. No
worries this will be fixed in a future PR.~~ Thumbs are now generated
with a size parameter
- UI Icons will need to be implemented in a future PR.

time but I reviewed, understood and edited all generated code.
