My Voices
- Top bar with search, filter toggle (active-count badge), synth-source drawer, group and table buttons;
filters/sort in a collapsible labelled panel; one-line sort header with select-all/none checkbox
- Groups chip list is a collapsed accordion; bottom bar is Refresh/Sync/Import plus one Actions (N) menu
(Edit / Audio / Share / Danger), disabled until voices are checked; touch targets stay 44px
- Copy selected works again (copyText was no longer exported), shows "N voice names copied to clipboard"
and falls back to a copy dialog when the async clipboard is unavailable
TTS / engines
- Health probe works for /v1 card URLs and, behind a LiteLLM gateway, checks the selected model's own
upstream so stopped containers are not reported as available
- Unhiding a voice publishes a missing entry to the engine's voices.json (no more silent default-voice fallback)
- Status-bar TTS picker also drives the My Voices and STT-test selectors; Use as TTS refreshes the status bar
Includes the engine connect/disconnect, custom TTS, STT footer and magazine auth work that was already
in the working tree, with their tests.

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.
20 new backend tests (156 total in the magazine module).

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
