Consolidate dictionary items: remove "Lookup Word History" and
"Delete Dictionary Cache" from the menu. Long-press on "Lookup Word"
opens history; delete-dict-cache is now a sentinel entry at the bottom
of the history list.
Replace "Reading Orientation" with "Toggle Portrait/Landscape" that
toggles between two configurable preferred orientations (new settings:
Preferred Portrait, Preferred Landscape). Long-press opens a manual
4-option orientation sub-menu.
Add "Toggle Font Size" menu item that cycles through font sizes and
applies on menu exit (with section re-layout).
Rename "Letterbox Fill" to "Override Letterbox Fill" and
"Sync Progress" to "Sync Reading Progress" in reader menu.
All long-press flows use ignoreNextConfirmRelease to prevent the
button release from triggering actions on the subsequent screen.

Migrate 5 mod Activity subclasses from old polling-based
display task pattern to the upstream render() super-class
pattern with freeRTOS notification:
- EpubReaderBookmarkSelectionActivity
- DictionaryWordSelectActivity
- DictionarySuggestionsActivity
- DictionaryDefinitionActivity
- LookedUpWordsActivity
Changes: remove own TaskHandle/SemaphoreHandle/updateRequired,
use requestUpdate() + render(RenderLock&&) override, fix
potential deadlocks around enterNewActivity() calls.
Also fix stale conflict marker in EpubReaderMenuActivity.h.

## 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

## 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

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,

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

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

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.

* Disable the io module from miniz as it is not used and get rid of the

## 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()

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
- 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
* The constant SETTINGS_CONST was hardcoded and needed to be updated
whenever an additional setting was added
* This is no longer necessary as the settings size will be determined
automatically on settings persistence
## Additional Context
* New settings need to be added (as previously) in saveToFile - that's
it

## 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

Remove empty sentinel BMP file from generateThumbBmp() that blocked
placeholder generation for books without covers. Add removeBook() to
RecentBooksStore and clear book from recents on cache delete. Ensure
home screen always generates placeholder when thumbnail generation fails.

Prevent the device from dropping to 10MHz CPU during first-time chapter
indexing, cover prerendering, and other CPU-intensive reader operations.
Three issues addressed:
- ActivityWithSubactivity now delegates preventAutoSleep() and
skipLoopDelay() to the active subactivity, so EpubReaderActivity's
signal is visible through the ReaderActivity wrapper
- Added post-loop() re-check of preventAutoSleep() in main.cpp to
catch activity transitions that happen mid-loop
- EpubReaderActivity uses both !section and a loadingSection flag to
cover the full duration from activity entry through section file
creation; TxtReaderActivity uses !initialized similarly
Also syncs HalPowerManager.cpp log messages with upstream PR #852.

Replace the "[Table omitted]" placeholder with full table rendering:
- Two-pass layout: buffer table content during SAX parsing, then
calculate column widths and lay out cells after </table> closes
- Colspan support for cells spanning multiple columns
- Forced line breaks within cells (<br>, <p>, <div> etc.)
- Center-align full-width spanning rows (section headers/titles)
- Width hints from HTML attributes and CSS (col, td, th width)
- Two-pass fair-share column width distribution that prevents
narrow columns from being excessively squeezed
- Double-encoded entity handling
- PageTableRow with grid-line rendering and serialization support
- Asymmetric vertical cell padding to balance font leading

## 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

Add OMIT_BOOKERLY, OMIT_NOTOSANS, OMIT_OPENDYSLEXIC flags to
selectively exclude font families, and OMIT_HYPH_DE/EN/ES/FR/IT/RU
flags to exclude individual hyphenation language tries.
The mod build environment excludes OpenDyslexic (~1.03 MB) and all
hyphenation tries (~282 KB), reducing flash usage by ~1.3 MB.
Font Family setting switched from Enum to DynamicEnum with
index-to-value mapping to handle arbitrary font exclusion without
breaking the settings UI or persisted values.

Generate styled placeholder covers (title, author, book icon) when a
book has no embedded cover image, instead of showing a blank rectangle.
- Add PlaceholderCoverGenerator lib with 1-bit BMP rendering, scaled
fonts, word-wrap, and a book icon bitmap
- Integrate as fallback in Epub/Xtc/Txt reader activities and
SleepActivity after format-specific cover generation fails
- Add fallback in HomeActivity::loadRecentCovers() so the home screen
also shows placeholder thumbnails when cache is cleared
- Add Txt::getThumbBmpPath() for TXT thumbnail support
- Add helper scripts for icon and layout preview generation
