The per-word <span> wrapping behind "click any word to assign" created
~100k DOM nodes at book scale and froze the tab on every feed redraw;
replaced with native caretRangeFromPoint word detection plus a single
reused hover overlay — same UX, zero extra DOM. Export button gained a
2s re-entry guard (queued clicks during a freeze fired as a download
burst) and now delivers one zip: the cast script in Markdown plus a
sheet per character. Character detail view gains a Generation Prompts
section — four fold-out copy boxes (Voice Design, Character Image,
SillyTavern card, Concept Art sheet) filled by one LLM call over the
full profile via the new /api/character-generate-prompts endpoint.

- 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
