- Pulsing blue dot on the Read Aloud nav item while casting is active
- Navigating away and returning restores the cast panel automatically
- Reassigning a segment's speaker decrements the old count so the
Characters Found panel stays in sync; speakers at 0 disappear

- Conversation: adjustable noise gate slider (RMS threshold + 300 ms
minimum burst duration) prevents short noise spikes from triggering
STT; level meter shows gate position as a blue marker
- Conversation stats panel now collapsible (chevron button) to free
chat width; floating expand button restores it; state persists
- Read Aloud: text search input in PDF toolbar (Enter = next hit,
Shift+Enter = previous, Esc = clear)
- Sidebar: tooltip now works for all item types including sub-items
that had no .nav-label span (text extracted by stripping icon/badge)
- Sidebar active section indicator added (.nav-tree-item.active was
previously unstyled — active section now has bg + right accent bar)
- Casting audiobook: prompt instructs LLM to handle ?« / !« endings
and unclosed » at passage end as dialogue; deterministic fallback
also handles unclosed opening quote
Bumps to v1.12.2.

Hovering the collapsed 56 px rail no longer expands the whole sidebar,
which was pushing the main content left and right. Each nav item now
shows a small floating tooltip (JS-positioned fixed div) next to its
icon on hover — layout stays completely stable.
Bumps to v1.12.1.

- 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.

Group headers (Voice Actions, Speak, Setup) are now collapsible parents;
Tags nests under Library; Integrations + Settings nest under Setup.
Navigating a section auto-opens its whole ancestor tree chain.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Restructure the sidebar into Voices / Speak / Setup groups and fuse the
Read Aloud and Script Rehearser features into one workspace:
- New combined Library section (Books · Theater Plays · Characters/Cast)
with cross-links (Rehearse a book, Read Aloud a play).
- Character tags like voice tags: one record, many productions, reusable
across books/scripts; seeded with origin book, editable in the editor.
- Shared cast resolution: opening a production fills empty cast slots from
the character roster (matched by book OR tag); voice choices written back
on save. Productions joined by normalized title (prodKey).
- Tags nav group for voices (distinct tags + counts, Cloned/Designed/Fav).
- Fold standalone Characters into Library; Read Aloud now a single entry.

Add a persistent, book-scoped Character Library (new Characters section,
IndexedDB) that auto-fills from Character-sheet analysis with editable cards.
Enrich extraction with six narrative fields (backstory, relationships,
motivation, fears, mannerisms, voice/speech) plus the greyscale Good↔Evil
alignment bar, arc arrow, and 5-area Deep Analysis. Add ⋯ separators between
non-contiguous passages in Recast unknown, and harden dialogue attribution
against hallucination with same-language emotion tags.

Read Aloud (new "Vorlesen" tab):
- PDF (real page render + overlay highlight) / TXT reader with live word
highlighting, voice + speed, per-sentence synthesis-state colours, zoom
(fit-width/height, two-page, ±), resume, and a server-side book library
(syncs across devices; per-unit MP3 audio fetched on demand).
Book -> multi-speaker audiobook:
- "Cast as audiobook" attributes dialogue to characters via the LLM
(guillemet/quote-style aware, turn-taking, recent-context), with a
deterministic speech-tag fallback. Editable preview, non-blocking live
casting panel, then auto-saved as a reopenable Script Rehearser play.
- Audiobook export: synthesise every cast line -> one MP3 per chapter.
Character sheets:
- LLM-extracted, self-filling RPG-style sheets (with page+quote sources)
in both Read Aloud and the Rehearser.
Also: MP3 storage + per-page/sentence export, voice-library "Precompute
embeddings" pre-warm, German "Vorlesen" i18n + flag language toggle,
large-PDF performance (lazy raster, buffer/canvas eviction, yielded parse),
and the Seed Finder changelog entry.
New: routes/reader.py, POST /api/attribute-dialogue, POST /api/character-sheets,
static/js/{reader,audiobook,character-sheets}.js, static/sections/s-reader.html.

## Script Rehearser (new feature)
- New section s-rehearser.html + rehearser.js + nav/loader wiring
- Phase 1: paste/upload script (.txt), auto-detect characters from
'CHARACTER: dialog' or ALL-CAPS screenplay format
- Phase 2: assign a TTS voice per character, or mark 'I play this'
- Phase 3: step-through rehearsal — synthesizes other characters via TTS,
shows level-meter + oscilloscope for your own lines, records them from mic
- Phase 4: session summary with per-line audio playback + download
## Connect Apps
- Removed duplicate standalone MCP/speak/hotkey full-width cards
- Kept the integration-grid cards (they use the real server URL from JS)
- Added Global Hotkey Daemon as a proper integration card with snippet-hotkey
populated by integrations.js (uses proxyBase URL dynamically)
## About page
- GET /api/changelog endpoint reads CHANGELOG.md and returns it as text
- Collapsible 'Changelog' <details> card fetches and displays it lazily
## Try It Out
- Reorganised into three cards: Voice & backend / Text to synthesize / Generate
- Backend help panel moved below the voice row (not in the same flex row)
- Style instruction field gains a dynamic badge ('style-aware ✓' / 'weak style')
and a yellow warning when a non-style-aware backend is selected while the
field is filled — wired to both backend-select change and input events

1. Sample text: expose initCloneSampleText as a window function and call
it from nav.js runSideEffects when the clone section is activated,
ensuring the textarea is always populated even if the IIFE ran before
the element existed.
2. Better sample texts: all 8 languages rewritten to ~38 words / ~15 s,
first-person, phonetically rich, proper Unicode diacritics.
3. Live mic monitor: a level-meter (18-bar) + scrolling oscilloscope
canvas (ring-buffer, 300 px, colour-coded) added to the microphone
card. "Check level" / "Stop monitor" buttons start/stop it
independently; clicking Record starts it automatically.
Uses raw mic constraints (no echo-cancel / AGC) for cleaner voice clone
audio. Mic gain slider and dB readout included.
4. Recording quality: MediaRecorder now requests audioBitsPerSecond:256000
in both voice-clone.js and stt.js.
5. STT engine picker: Recognition engine <select> + Refresh button added
above the Auto-transcribe button in Step 3. refreshSttBackends() now
syncs both stt-tts-stt-backend and clone-stt-backend. The transcribe
call passes the chosen backend to /api/transcribe.
6. File input: explicit extension list added to accept= for OGG/OPUS.
7. CSS: .mic-live-wave style added (dark/light theme variants).

Conversation playground:
- Live speech preview: MediaRecorder sends accumulated audio to
/api/transcribe-bytes every 2.5 s; interim Whisper result shown in
the text input field while recording. Web Speech API tried first as
a faster path when available (HTTPS/localhost).
- VAD auto-stop: AudioContext AnalyserNode measures RMS every frame;
auto-stops after 1.5 s silence with a visible countdown. Auto-stop
toggle to revert to click-to-stop.
- Hands-free mode: mic auto-restarts after the agent finishes speaking
via audio.ended event + generation-counter cancellation. Hands-free
toggle (on by default) to disable.
Navigation:
- Persist active section and sub-page in localStorage; hard-reload
returns to the same page instead of always jumping to My Voices.

Conversation Playground (new section):
- WhatsApp-style chat UI with user/assistant speech bubbles
- Click-to-record mic button using MediaRecorder API
- STT → LLM streaming → TTS pipeline via SSE (POST /api/conversation/turn)
- LLM tokens stream into assistant bubble in real time
- Audio auto-plays when TTS synthesises the reply
- Right-side stats panel: STT / LLM TTFT / LLM total / TTS / Total with bar chart
- Turn history list with per-turn total time and pass/fail indicator
- Configurable: STT backend, LLM URL + model, TTS backend + voice, system prompt
- Conversation history maintained across turns (last 20 messages sent to LLM)
- GET /api/conversation/llm-models proxies model list from any OpenAI-compatible LLM
XTTS v2 backend:
- Registers xtts as a first-class TTS backend (xtts_url setting, display name,
capabilities, health/voice discovery, OpenAI-compatible generation)
- Added XTTS URL field to Settings → Connections
- Use-as-TTS button now saves to xtts_url (not tts_url)
- Batch benchmark backend select now refreshes alongside perf/preview selectors
VibeVoice fix:
- Added /voices to _TTS_VOICE_ENDPOINTS so VibeVoice voices are discovered
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Rename "LLMs" section to "Engines" with brain icon
- Add three sub-pages (Language Models / Speech to Text / Text to Speech) following the same nav-tree pattern as Settings and My Voices
- Rewrite s-llms.html: three s-engines-page divs, docker container grids (dc-grid-tts, dc-grid-stt), VibeVoice card in TTS section, static cloud API cards per category
- Add navEnginesCat() and applyEnginesPage() to nav.js; engines tree open/close in showSection()
- Remove obsolete initLlmCatTabs IIFE; fix dc-refresh-btn from ID to class-based querySelectorAll
- Make integration cards in Connect Apps collapsible (collapsed by default) with favicon/icon prepended to h3
- Unify all Engines card grids to minmax(380px, 1fr) so local, docker, and cloud cards are the same width
- Add s-engines-page CSS (display:none / is-active:flex)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
nav.js SECTIONS array controls which page-sections get is-active toggled;
s-performance was missing so the section stayed display:none. Also map
the 'performance' tab key to the new section for switchTab compatibility.

Each settings nav item (General, Connections, Playback, Payloads, Storage,
API Keys, Backup, Logs, About) now shows its own isolated card page.
navSettingsCat() toggles .s-settings-page visibility + active state.
Save/Reload use event delegation (.s-save-btn/.s-reload-btn classes).
Default sub-page is Connections on first entry.

- New light UI: fixed 220px sidebar, single scrolling page, 8 named sections
- Static files split by concern: style.css, app.js, loader.js, nav.js
- Each page section is its own partial in static/sections/s-*.html
- loader.js fetches all section partials in parallel, then loads app.js and nav.js
- All original functionality, element IDs, and API endpoints preserved
