Not much else to say here. I did simplify the logic in lyratheme.cpp
based on there no longer being a requirement for any non-cover specific
rendering differences.

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

## 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.

This partially fixes#769 but is dependent upon PR #827 being merged
along side this @daveallie. I removed my PNG conversion code after
finding out that PR was already created. Without this PR though that
book in #769 will still fail to load because of how it's stored in the

## Summary
- EPUB books with PNG cover images now display covers on the home screen
instead of blank rectangles
- Adds `PngToBmpConverter` library mirroring the existing
`JpegToBmpConverter` pattern
- Uses miniz (already in the project) for streaming zlib decompression
of PNG IDAT data
- Supports all PNG color types (Grayscale, RGB, RGBA, Palette,
Gray+Alpha)
- Optimized for ESP32-C3: batch grayscale conversion, 2KB read buffer,
same area-averaging scaling and Atkinson dithering as the JPEG path
## Changes
- **New:** `lib/PngToBmpConverter/PngToBmpConverter.h` — Public API
matching JpegToBmpConverter's interface
- **New:** `lib/PngToBmpConverter/PngToBmpConverter.cpp` — Streaming PNG
decoder + BMP converter
- **Modified:** `lib/Epub/Epub.cpp` — Added `.png` handling in
`generateCoverBmp()` and `generateThumbBmp()`
## Test plan
- [x] Tested with EPUB files using PNG covers — covers appear correctly
on home screen
- [ ] Verify with various PNG color types (most stock EPUBs use 8-bit
RGB)
- [ ] Confirm no regressions with JPEG cover EPUBs
<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai
-->
## Summary by CodeRabbit
**New Features**
- Added PNG format support for EPUB cover and thumbnail images. PNG
files are automatically processed and cached alongside existing
supported formats. This enhancement enables users to leverage PNG cover
artwork when generating EPUB files, improving workflow flexibility and
compatibility with common image sources.

## 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
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.

## Summary
This PR applies a micro optimization on `SerializedHyphenationPatterns`,
which allow reading `rootOffset` directly without having to parse then
cache it.
It should not affect storage space since no new bytes are added.
This also gets rid of the linear cache search whenever
`liangBreakIndexes` is called. In theory, the performance should be
improved a bit, although it may be too small to be noticeable in
practice.

## 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
Pre-compress the HTML file to save flash space. I'm using `gzip` because
it's supported everywhere (indeed, we are using the same optimization on
[llama.cpp server](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp), our HTML page
is huge 😅 ).
This free up ~40KB flash space.
Some users suggested using `brotli` which is known to further reduce 20%
in size, but it doesn't supported by firefox (only supports if served
via HTTPS), and some reverse proxy like nginx doesn't support it out of
the box (unrelated in this context, but just mention for completeness)

## Summary
Closes#743.
**What is the goal of this PR?**
- Add back handling for HTML entities in expat. This was originally part
of the code that got removed
[here](https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/274)
- Handle ` ` characters to resolve issue #743
**What changes are included?**
- Brought back HTML entity table from previous commit and refactored it
to use a static const char * table with linear lookup to reduce heap
allocations.
- Used `XML_SetDefaultHandlerExpand` in expat to parse out the entities
correctly, without needing them defined in DOCTYPE
- Added handling for ` ` so that the text stays together and
doesn't break onto a new line with text separated by an ` `
## Additional Context
- This supersedes [this
PR](https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/751)
that simply handled `nbsp;` as whitespace. Instead, we want that
character to serve its true purpose and affect the line-breaking
algorithm.
- Updated my test EPUB [here](https://github.com/jdk2pq/css-test-epub)
with ` ` characters examples at the end of the book

## 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
This PR extends the delay in main loop from 10ms to 50ms after the
device is idle for a while. This translates to extended battery life in
a longer period (see testing section above), while not hurting too much
the user experience.
With the help from [this
patch](https://github.com/ngxson/crosspoint-reader/tree/xsn/measure_cpu_usage),
I was able to measure the CPU usage on idle:
```
PR:
[20017] [MEM] Free: 150188 bytes, Total: 232092 bytes, Min Free: 150092 bytes

[40067] [IDLE] Idle time: 99.62% (CPU load: 0.38%)
master:
[20012] [MEM] Free: 195016 bytes, Total: 231532 bytes, Min Free: 132460 bytes
[20012] [IDLE] Idle time: 98.53% (CPU load: 1.47%)
[30017] [MEM] Free: 195016 bytes, Total: 231532 bytes, Min Free: 132460 bytes
[30017] [IDLE] Idle time: 98.53% (CPU load: 1.47%)

[40022] [IDLE] Idle time: 98.53% (CPU load: 1.47%)
```
While this is a x3.8 reduce in CPU usage, it doesn't translate to the
same amount of battery life extension in real life. The reasons are:
1. The CPU is not shut down completely
2. freeRTOS tick is still running (however, I planned to experiment with
tickless functionality)
3. Current leakage to other components, for example: voltage dividers,

[light-sleep](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32c3/api-reference/system/sleep_modes.html)
functionality: it is not possible in our use case because:
- Light-sleep for 50ms introduce too much overhead on wake up, it has
negative effect on battery life
- Light-sleep for longer period doesn't work because the ADC GPIO
buttons cannot be used as wake up source
## Testing (duration = 6 hrs)
To test this, I patched the `CrossPointSettings::getSleepTimeoutMs()` to
always returns a timeout of 6 hrs. This allow me to leave the device
idle for 6 hrs straight.
- On master branch, 6 hrs costs 26% battery life (100% --> 74%), meaning
battery life is ~23 hrs
- With this PR, 6 hrs costs 20% battery life (100% --> 80%), meaning
battery life is ~30 hrs
So in theory, this extends the battery by about 7 hrs. Even with some
error margin added, I think 3 hrs increase is possible with a normal
usage setup (i.e. only read ebooks, no wifi)
## Additional Context
Would appreciate if someone can test this with an oscilloscope.

## Summary
* Manually trigger GPIO update in File Browser mode
* Previously just assumed that the GPIO data would update automatically
(presumably via yield), the data is currently updated in the main loop
(and now here as well during the middle of the processing loop).
* This allows the back button to be correctly detected instead of only
being checked once every 100ms or so for the button state.
## Additional Context

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Implements the new feature for
file uploading.)
Implement natural sort (e.g. "file1.txt, file2.txt, file10.txt" instead
of "file1.txt, file10.txt, file2.txt") for files in the
MyLibraryActivity menu
* **What changes are included?**
Modifies the `sortFileList` function under
`src/activities/home/MyLibraryActivity.cpp` to use natural sort as
opposed to lexicographical sort
## Additional Context
I wasn't entirely sure whether or not i should make this a configurable
option, but most file browsers and directory listing tools have this set
as an immutable default, so I opted against it.
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks,
specific areas to focus on).

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
- Closes#730
**What is the goal of this PR?**
- Adds percentage-based value support to CSS properties that accept
percentages (padding, margin, text-indent)
**What changes are included?**
- Adds `Percent` as another CSS unit
- Passes the viewport width to `fromCssStyle` so that we can resolve
percentage-based values
- Adds a fallback of using an emspace for text-indent if we have an
unresolvable value for whatever reason
## Additional Context
- This was missed in my CSS support feature, and the fallback when we
encounter a percentage value is to use px instead. This means 5% (which
would be ~30px on the screen) turns into 5px. When percentages are used
in `text-indent`, this fallback behavior makes the indent look like a
single space character. Whoops! 😬
My test EPUB has been updated
[here](https://github.com/jdk2pq/css-test-epub) with percentage based
CSS values at the end of the book.

I had an epub that just showed a blank cover and wouldnt work for the
sleep screen either, turns out it was an epub3 and I guess we didn't
support that. Super simple fix here
## Summary
This is an updated version of @itsthisjustin's #346 that builds on
current master and also deduplicates the settings list so we don't have
two copies of the settings. In the Web UI, it should organize the
settings a little closer to what you see on device.
## Additional Context
I tested this live on device and it seems to play nicely for me. It's
re-based on master since master's settings stuff has moved somewhat
since the original PR and addresses the sole review comment #346 - it
also means that I don't need to manually key in the URL for my OPDS
server. :)

## 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.
