## 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?** 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?**
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
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.
## Additional Context
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.

This PR unifies navigation handling & adds system-wide support for
continuous navigation.
## Summary
Holding down a navigation button now continuously advances through items
until the button is released. This removes the need for repeated
press-and-release actions and makes navigation faster and smoother,
especially in long menus or documents.
When page-based navigation is available, it will navigate through pages.
If not, it will progress through menu items or similar list-based UI
elements.
Additionally, this PR fixes inconsistencies in wrap-around behavior and
navigation index calculations.
Places where the navigation system was updated:
- Home Page
- Settings Pages
- My Library Page
- WiFi Selection Page
- OPDS Browser Page
- Keyboard
- File Transfer Page
- XTC Chapter Selector Page
- EPUB Chapter Selector Page
I’ve tested this on the device as much as possible and tried to match
the existing behavior. Please let me know if I missed anything. Thanks 🙏

Following the request from @osteotek and @daveallie for system-wide
support, the old PR (#379) has been closed in favor of this
consolidated, system-wide implementation.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Move the "Sync Progress" option from TOC (Chapter Selection) screen to
the Reader Menu, and fix use-after-free crashes related to callback
handling in activity lifecycle.
* **What changes are included?**
- Added "Sync Progress" as a menu item in `EpubReaderMenuActivity` (now
4 items: Go to Chapter, Sync Progress, Go Home, Delete Book Cache)
- Removed sync-related logic from `EpubReaderChapterSelectionActivity` -
TOC now only displays chapters
- Implemented `pendingGoHome` and `pendingSubactivityExit` flags in
`EpubReaderActivity` to safely handle activity destruction
- Fixed GO_HOME, DELETE_CACHE, and SYNC menu actions to use deferred
callbacks avoiding use-after-free
## Additional Context
* Root cause of crashes: callbacks like `onGoHome()` or `onCancel()`
invoked from activity handlers could destroy the current activity while
code was still executing, causing use-after-free and race conditions
with FreeRTOS display task.
* Solution: Deferred execution pattern - set flags and process them in
`loop()` after all nested activity loops have safely returned.
* Files changed: `EpubReaderMenuActivity.h`,
`EpubReaderActivity.h/.cpp`, `EpubReaderChapterSelectionActivity.h/.cpp`

## Summary
* Adds a menu in the Epub reader
* The Chapter selection is moved there to pos 1 (so it can be reached by
double tapping the confirm button)
* A Go Home is there, too
* Most significantly, a function "Delete Book Cache" is added. This
returns to main (to avoid directly rebuilding cached items, eg. if this
is used to debug/develop other areas - and it's also easier ;))
Probably, the Sync function could now be moved from the Chapter
selection to this menu, too.
