static/index.html hardcodes ?v= query strings on style.css, the per-page
CSS files and loader.js, plus an app-version meta tag. Nothing kept them
in sync with VERSION, so they'd silently drifted to different stale
versions each (found live: style.css one release behind, loader.js
sixteen releases behind). The static-file middleware marks any CSS/JS
request with a ?v= query as max-age=31536000 immutable, so a browser
that had ever loaded e.g. magazine.js?v=1.26.10 kept serving that exact
response for a year no matter how many times the file changed on disk
or how hard the page was force-reloaded.
release.py now rewrites every ?v=X.Y.Z and the app-version meta tag to
the new version on every release, so a release is what invalidates the
cache rather than a manual, easy-to-forget edit.

Bundles this session's magazine review work: a single "Draw region" tool
replacing six preset-kind buttons; "Table" as a real, non-narrated region
type; uniform auto-OCR for every text-like drawn/re-read region with a
Tesseract fallback when the vision OCR backend is unreachable; a thumbnail
grid view and inline title editing for the article list; batch
approve/reject; standalone MP3 export with embedded title/author/album,
lyrics and cover art (adds mutagen); "Remove all boxes" for starting a
tangled page from scratch; Approve advancing straight to the next article;
a merged, sticky review toolbar; and a fix for stale image previews after
resizing a region's box.
Also fixes several character-portrait rendering biases confirmed live
across this session's DSA audiobook cast (routes/conversation.py): modern
or bald/receding hair regardless of established coverage, armored women
rendering masculinized, duplicated/malformed weapons, a ranged weapon
rendering as a firearm due to a German compound-word regex miss, an
established dwarf rendered with human proportions, and occasional extra
hands or lost non-human species in scene panels.
See CHANGELOG.md [1.43.0] for the full list.

The preview carries each page's regions (percent of the page, type, reading
order) for the reading pass and the labelling pass, drawn over the page image
with a legend. A server restart that killed the import left it "running" for
ever; the status route now reports it as failed. v1.42.0.

original_text is now a Block field, so paths that rebuild blocks keep it
instead of crashing. Undo snapshots are sealed with a digest of the saved
state and refused once anything else changed; actions without their own undo
point clear the Undo button. v1.41.1.

Portrait backdrop measured 0/4 -> 4/4 plain on the failing character, no
change on the one that already passed. After the portrait passes, the vision
model describes hair, facial hair and eyes, and the turnaround and story
prompts are rebuilt with it -- a character with no hair in his sheet got a
different haircut on the sheet and failed the same-person check 3/3.
Costume cut and colours restored for armed characters. v1.41.0.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Measured with the image check: full-body turnarounds 0/5 -> 10/10 (Karyla),
12/12 on Karyla, Darrag and Eolan after the face fixes. The 4-step model
loses the tail of a ~3000-char prompt. Scars are left out of image prompts:
any scar wording, even "fully healed", rendered as fresh gashes. v1.40.0.

Bulk delete/type for a click- or rectangle-selected set; every destructive
region change returns an undo token (one level, refused once something newer
happened); text inside a region that becomes a picture is folded into it.
TODO: model-based layout detection (PP-DocLayout, LayoutReader) with licence
notes. v1.39.0.

The review selection now follows deletes, merges, splits and text-to-image
changes; approve sends only existing ids and no longer overwrites the image
list with a stale one; deleting a region removes it from articles. v1.38.1.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Split at the cursor and merge-with-next keep article membership right; typed
letters in the editor never fire shortcuts; focus returns to the same row
after a redraw. v1.38.0.

Rules sized on a real 204-page issue before writing them; each re-types
(not read aloud, reversible), none deletes. A run-on author line's sentence
becomes its own paragraph instead of being glued to "the next paragraph",
which was right in only 1 of 5 real cases. Runs on import and re-OCR, and on
demand with a layout backup. v1.37.0.

A hand-ordered page is locked: Fix reading order, type changes and newly drawn
boxes leave it alone until Automatic order. v1.36.0.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Columns are found from where column-width text starts, not from the whitespace
between them (loose OCR boxes shrank one gutter to 4-6 pt and a pull-quote
bridged it, collapsing page 38 into one interleaved column). Headlines get
their own band, pull-quotes are read at the end of the page. Measured over a
204-page issue: 89 sentence continuations kept vs 85.
Each review row gets a type picker (text kinds, page number, source, ad,
image) and its own delete button; text<->image conversions keep the region
in its article. Fix reading order re-reads existing issues without OCR and
leaves hand-ordered pages alone. The shared confirm dialog is now an
alertdialog for screen readers. v1.35.0.

The job checks the portrait crop, then the turnaround, story panel and
same-person against the sheet, re-renders on failure (up to 3 attempts) and
keeps the attempt with the fewest faults. ReActor transfers the profile's face
onto the turnaround and the largest face in the story panel. If the checker is
down, retries stop and the pair is marked unverified. The outcome is saved
with the pair and shown on the character page.

The model only reports observations; expectations come from the sheet and the
comparison is in code. Fail-safe: an unreachable checker or unreadable answer
is a failure. Calibrated 14/14 on panels with known defects using the already
loaded LLM; Ling 3.0 Flash VL (free) scored 8/14 with 6 unreadable answers.

Each fix pins a defect seen in a real render. The species test read the raw
sheet field, so a hedged "Mensch (oder Halbelfe...)" matched the elf pattern.

Drawing front/side/rear separately with the edit model reproduced the exact
failure the triptych was introduced to fix: three near-identical front views,
mixed styles between panels, cropped bodies, and the wireframe pose guide
rendered into the costume.

A cold-booting model server would otherwise time out the first passage into tag guessing.

Pooled over three hand-corrected novels (~54k spoken words): agreed 82% right, disputed 48%,
Unknown ~0%, unverified ~76%. The old heuristic bands claimed 16% for lines that were 62% right
and tag/role signals did not discriminate in span casts; classic casts keep the old model.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Verify / recast now run span-natively (no text re-emission): a second differently-windowed
pass marks lines agreed/disputed and records the other answer, without changing any speaker
(~9 min vs ~49 min). Measured on the real pipeline, overruling disputed lines with a reasoning
adjudication made them worse (66.5% -> 61.4%), so that step was removed; agreed lines were 83%
right vs 48.5% for disputed ones, which is the signal used for confidence and review.
Auto-repair no longer runs after a span cast; segments carry a spanId.

- fix: base-appearance matched pair lost its concept image + metadata on reload; visual save
wrote base concept art to the record root; one save path for base and forms now
- fix: extraction no longer lets the LLM author image_prompt (source of avatar/concept drift);
avatar-only generation uses the deterministic prompt and flags an existing pair
- fix: prompt writes and Physical/Clothing edits go to the active form; review endpoint checks
each form's own pair; fingerprint parity with the browser incl. visual_* overrides
- feat: appearance forms panel (add/rename/delete/show, per-form stale flag, generate one/all)

Split the book into narration/dialogue spans from its own quotation marks and ask
the LLM only who speaks each dialogue span (POST /api/attribute-spans), so text can
no longer be fused, dropped or duplicated and a novel takes ~10 min instead of ~4 h.
Book 1 vs the hand-corrected reference: every-word-right 87.0% -> 92.3%, type
agreement 93.6% -> 97.4%; Books 2/3 (not tuned on) 90.8% / 89.9%.

- fix: Edit boxes and page-nav controls were dead clicks (handlers never exported
to root); resize from any edge/corner instead of only bottom-right
- feat: two-page spread in review (page images above, OCR lists beneath)
- feat: searchable voice picker for narrator and podcast hosts
- feat: Prepare audio synthesises the whole article ahead of playback; playback
also stays three sentences ahead
- fix: sync index.html cache-busting version with VERSION (was stuck at 1.26.12)

Adds "Edit boxes" mode to article review: drag an already-detected
region to move it, its corner handle to resize it, or press its x to
delete it -- for correcting a box the layout engine got wrong, not one
it missed entirely ("Draw it" still covers that case). Moving or
resizing opens a confirm panel; "Save" keeps the region's existing
text at its new position, and for text regions "Save & re-OCR" reads
the corrected area again and replaces the text.
New core/magazine.py update_region()/delete_region() and PATCH/DELETE
/api/magazine/{doc}/pages/{page}/regions/{block_id}. An image region
is re-cropped from the page render whenever its bbox changes, since
its saved file is exactly that crop.
Live-verified against the real ingested c't KI Wissen 2026 magazine:
add -> move -> move+re-OCR (correctly kept old text when the corrected
area had nothing readable) -> delete -> confirmed gone, repeat delete
404s.
275 tests passing.

_docker_get_json/_docker_post called sock.connect(sock_path) a second
time after _docker_connection() had already connected the socket --
sock_path was never defined in either function, so every call raised
NameError. Surfaced in the UI as every engine card reporting "Not
installed" and the Active OCR Engine model dropdown reporting "Not
Found" regardless of what was actually running, found while diagnosing
a user report of that dropdown. Docker socket API calls (list/status/
start/stop/restart) were affected for every engine card, not just OCR.
Added tests/test_docker_client.py, which did not exist before, to
catch this class of regression going forward.
Also records a request to make the magazine ingestion "watching it
work" panel draw detected region boxes live over the page image as
each is classified, instead of today's static page-image-plus-text-
list (TODO.md; no code change for that yet).
254 tests passing.

User-requested candidates to install as Docker containers alongside the
existing engines and add through the Engines tab, to be benchmarked
against the two already wired (baidu/Unlimited-OCR, KDL-Frontier-Parser-
nano) for both page-text transcription and open-ended figure/chart
description. No code change.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds a "Describe" action per figure in article review: sends the cropped
image to the configured vision engine (with fallback) for a type-aware
one- or two-sentence description -- a chart gets a prompt about what it
measures and its trend, a table about headings and what stands out, etc.
Editable before approval. A new "Read figure descriptions" toggle in the
reading controls speaks these where they occur; purely additive, off by
default, and a figure with no description behaves exactly as before.
New core/magazine.py describe_visual_region()/_chain() reuse the same
reliability guards as page OCR (repetition-loop detection, sentence-
boundary truncation). New routes: POST .../images/{id}/describe
(background job), PATCH .../images/{id} (manual edit), descriptions=1 on
the article-text endpoint.
Live-verified end to end against the ingested c't KI Wissen 2026
magazine. Also found and documented a real, config-dependent limitation:
the currently-configured primary vision engine is transcription-only and
returns empty content for any descriptive prompt (confirmed with three
different prompts) -- not a code defect, but description generation
needs a genuinely caption-capable engine reachable as the fallback.
251 tests passing.
