Connect and "Use as LLM" on the LiteLLM Gateway card now resolve that
card's own saved key (engine_api_keys[name]) server-side in
routes/docker.py, ahead of the old global llm_api_key fallback. The
browser can no longer reliably forward a saved key at all -- it's
masked to "__configured__" in every /api/settings response the moment
it's saved -- so relying on a frontend-forwarded header alone left
Connect silently using a stale global key after LiteLLM's own key was
rotated, surfacing a misleading /api/version 404 instead of the real
401.
"Use as LLM" now goes through a dedicated /use-as-llm endpoint that
saves the exact credential Connect just verified (llm_url normalized
to .../v1, llm_api_key copied from the card), rather than a
separately-typed value that could drift again.
Also documents per-user provider-key storage as an explicit item for
the deferred multi-user/identity planning pass.

Magazine P1:
- Images shown automatically during playback (assign_images_to_articles
links each figure to the article whose column it falls in; the client
shows the last image reached in reading order as playback advances).
- "Play all articles" queues every approved article and advances
automatically at the end of each rather than stopping.
- Word-level highlighting, explicitly documented as an ESTIMATE (no
forced-alignment/timestamp source exists): each word's share of the
sentence's real measured audio duration is proportional to its
character length. A checkbox turns it off; sentence highlighting
(measured, not estimated) is unaffected.
- Driving mode: full-screen overlay, two oversized controls, reuses
whatever is already playing/queued.
- Sidebars/pull-out boxes excluded from narration automatically
(mark_sidebars: an anomalously narrow column vs. the page's regular
grid). Fixed a real defect found while building this: a full-width
headline was left in the column-width analysis and could bridge two
genuinely separate columns into one, hiding a real sidebar column
entirely -- caught by a failing test before the fix.
Second OCR engine + fallback ladder:
- KDL Frontier Parser nano wired in via vision_ocr_page_chain (ordered
engine list, first usable result wins, tesseract last resort).
Confirmed live: ~3x faster than Baidu (~12s vs ~40s/page) but returns
plain text with NO coordinate markers, unlike Baidu's labeled regions.
_whole_page_region treats the whole response as one ambiguous
full-page block (gated by ocr_quality_score) rather than discarding
usable text just because it lacks layout structure.
OCR engines page + a real UI bug:
- The OCR & Document Parsing page had no .s-engines-page[data-page="ocr"]
markup at all -- renderLocalContainers already supported an OCR grid
generically, but $('dc-grid-ocr') was always null, so the card grid
silently never rendered. Added an Active OCR Engine panel mirroring
Active Language Model exactly, plus the Local grid -- both configured
engines now appear as ready-made cards, no "Add Custom" dialog needed.
- Fixed the audiobook pipeline's "Previous/Next" nav bar bleeding into
every .section-head in the document (confirmed live on the Engines
page: a "Cast Audiobook" button and "STEP 1/8" hint that made no sense
there). Changed from a blocklist (naming each unrelated section as
noticed) to an allowlist of the pipeline's three actual destinations.
Verified live end-to-end: play-all queue building and manual advance,
word-span markup, driving-mode toggle, OCR page showing both engines as
local cards, zero stray nav bars on the Engines page, no console errors.

Introduces the new Studio section (Source -> Characters -> Voices ->
Perform & Export) that reuses the existing Read Aloud/Library/Script
Rehearsal code via DOM reparenting instead of duplicating it, and rolls up
a long tail of bugs found while producing a real audiobook through it:
umlaut-eating name sanitizers, a voice picker that mispositioned itself and
capped results at 60, PDF pagination silently breaking on trimmed \f
markers, a race letting stale audio keep playing after a new line was
clicked, an alias-overlap bug that could silently redirect a voice/image
save onto the wrong character, voice design failing outright during brief
TTS backend restarts instead of retrying, sparse cast entries defaulting to
English/wrong gender, and a reassigned voice never reaching an already-open
Stage session or invalidating its cached audio. Also adds a persistent
per-line audio cache, audiobook export browsing/download, and an inline
voice-design prompt editor. Full details in CHANGELOG.md.

Speed: OCR renders only the heading band (was full page at 2.5x),
Tesseract worker freed after extraction, name-underline index cached
instead of rebuilt per segment, constant regexes hoisted, old drafts
migrate segment page numbers once at load (single-path feed renderer).
Quality: global [hidden]{display:none!important} ends the empty-box bug
class; racy deferred cast-restore + _readerSuppressCastRestore flag
replaced by a synchronous, caller-wins restore; card collapse defaults
move to data-collapse-default markup; duplicated join/colour/alias/LLM-
target helpers now delegate to their canonical implementations; dead
reader state removed; stepper hide-guard fixed for the merged Source key.

- Add a 6-stage pipeline stepper (Source -> Cast Audiobook -> Cast Characters
-> Script Rehearser -> Generate MP3s -> Audiobook) with direct, non-destructive
jumps between stages and a prominent guided-tour look
- Split PDF import into an explicit "load" then "Extract Text" step, with
in-browser OCR (Tesseract.js, vendored) to recover chapter headlines baked
into a PDF as images instead of real text
- Fix casting feed silently merging pages after leaving/returning: segments
now carry their own page number instead of re-guessing it from text
- Fix excessive "Unknown" speaker attribution: restore the attribution LLM's
output token budget, which had been cut roughly in half and was truncating
dialogue-dense passages
- Fix Theater Play library cards failing to open (dead pre-migration
IndexedDB API calls, missing section navigation)
- Fix bulk "Set tag" wiping a voice's existing tags instead of adding to them
- Start merging Casting's feed with Script Rehearser's Stage UI: collapsible
character sidebar, shared "paper" page styling, inline text editing
- Fix a performance regression from that merge (per-row listeners on every
redraw) by moving to event delegation
- Various layout/clutter fixes: hide reader chrome until a document is
loaded, collapse secondary settings by default, fix overlapping toolbar
icons, fix duplicate "opening" notifications

- Sidebar collapses to a 56px icon rail; hovering flies the full menu out as
an overlay (icons + titles/nested items). Language picker moved to Settings.
- Unify settings collapsibles to the app's standard card-collapse style:
Conversation, Read Aloud (drag-&-drop now inside), Try It Out, Casting panel.
- Read Aloud: reordered (settings → toolbar → document → transport/synth) and
the document fits the viewport height so controls below stay visible; remove
the redundant My Books card (lives in Library → Books).
- Conversation: stacked full-width config, fills viewport height; fix
intermittent webm decode in hands-free mode (recorder restarts cleanly,
in-browser WAV encode); barge-in via Live agent.
- Fix casting feed overflow that pushed the sidebar off-screen.

Previously: container names and dynamic card URL overrides only
written to localStorage — lost when accessing from a different
browser or after clearing browser data.
Now:
- engine_container_names added as persisted settings key (dict)
- All container name inputs tagged data-cn-key for loadSettings() lookup
- loadSettings() restores container names + dynamic URLs from server
- settings.js exposes _saveEngineContainerNames() and
_saveEngineLocalUrls() globally so engines.js / ai-backends.js
can call them on every input event
- Static cards (ai-backends.js initStaticDockerManagement): reads
saved name from engine_container_names first, localStorage fallback
- Dynamic Docker stack cards (engines.js): same priority for both
URL and container name; both write to server on change

Engine cards (all TTS + STT, dynamic Docker stack + static):
- Container name field now always visible on every card (was hidden for
absent/not-installed containers)
- Connect button moved out of URL row into a dedicated dc-controls-row;
restyled as solid blue primary CTA
- Connect now toggles to Disconnect (green) when reachable, persists state
- On successful connect, URL is auto-applied to Settings so the backend
appears in TTS/STT dropdowns immediately — no separate "Use as" click needed
- "Use as TTS/STT" button updated: larger, teal "apply" style, tooltip,
gains .active highlight once applied, right-aligned as the trailing action
- Unified control order on every card: [Connect/Disconnect] [Stop|Start|Restart] [Use as →]
- initStaticDockerManagement rebuilt to use the same dc-controls-row layout
as dynamic cards, moving .llm-local-ping from URL row at init time
Conversation section:
- Fix chrome://flags URL being white-on-grey inside the mic-blocked warning
box (global code{background:var(--panel)} overrode the inherited white text)
- Inline-styled the <code> element with a dark translucent background
- Added a Copy button so users can copy the URL without selecting invisible text
