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.
