## 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. ## Testing master branch: ``` english: 99.1023% french: 100% german: 97.7289% russian: 97.2167% spanish: 99.0236% ``` This PR: ``` english: 99.1023% french: 100% german: 97.7289% russian: 97.2167% spanish: 99.0236% ``` --- ### AI Usage While CrossPoint doesn't have restrictions on AI tools in contributing, please be transparent about their usage as it helps set the right context for reviewers.

Hypher Binary Tries
CrossPoint embeds the exact binary automata produced by
Typst's hypher.
File layout
Each .bin blob is a single self-contained automaton:
uint32_t root_addr_be; // big-endian offset of the root node
uint8_t levels[]; // shared "levels" tape (dist/score pairs)
uint8_t nodes[]; // node records packed back-to-back
The size of the levels tape is implicit. Individual nodes reference slices
inside that tape via 12-bit offsets, so no additional pointers are required.
Node encoding
Every node starts with a single control byte:
- Bit 7 – set when the node stores scores (
levels). - Bits 5-6 – stride of the target deltas (1, 2, or 3 bytes, big-endian).
- Bits 0-4 – transition count (values ≥ 31 spill into an extra byte).
If the levels flag is set, two more bytes follow. Together they encode a
12-bit offset into the global levels tape and a 4-bit length. Each byte in the
levels tape packs a distance/score pair as dist * 10 + score, where dist
counts how many UTF-8 bytes we advanced since the previous digit.
After the optional levels header come the transition labels (one byte per edge) followed by the signed target deltas. Targets are stored as relative offsets from the current node address. Deltas up to ±128 fit in a single byte, larger distances grow to 2 or 3 bytes. The runtime walks the transitions with a simple linear scan and materializes the absolute address by adding the decoded delta to the current node’s base.
Embedding blobs into the firmware
The helper script scripts/generate_hyphenation_trie.py acts as a thin
wrapper: it reads the hypher-generated .bin files, formats them as constexpr
byte arrays, and emits headers under
lib/Epub/Epub/hyphenation/generated/. Each header defines the raw data plus a
SerializedHyphenationPatterns descriptor so the reader can keep the automaton
in flash.
A convenient script update_hyphenation.sh is used to update all languages.
To use it, run:
