Problem:
- Many format modules imported from '../core/reader-context'
- reader-context.ts was a local interface file, not a true context module
- Confusion between canonical reader-shell.ts and local reader-context.ts
- PDF page-cache.ts was 100% dead code (unused, unregistered, no exports)
- Several unused variables and imports across reader modules
Root Cause:
- reader-context.ts created as temporary file during refactoring
- Modules imported from it instead of canonical reader-shell.ts
- page-cache.ts copied from comic version but never integrated
- Incomplete refactoring left behind unused code
Solution:
- Update all imports to use reader-shell (canonical source)
- Remove unused page-cache.ts (dead code)
- Clean up unused variables and imports
- Consolidate type definitions
Changes:
Import Path Updates:
- comic/*: '../core/reader-context' → '../../reader-shell'
- manga/*: '../core/reader-context' → '../../reader-shell'
- pdf/*: '../core/reader-context' → '../../reader-shell'
- reflowable/ebook/*: '../core/reader-context' → '../../reader-shell'
- All now import UniversalReader from single source
Dead Code Removal:
- pdf/page-cache.ts: Deleted entirely
- No init() function exported
- Not registered in reader-shell.ts
- All functions unused (createPDFPageCache, getCachedPage, etc.)
- Only 2 lines of executable code (console.log, DOM cleanup)
- 148 lines of dead code
Clean Up:
- navigator-panel.ts: Remove unused containerRect variable
- api-explorer-docs.ts, api.ts, queue.ts: Fix unused imports
- unlinked_books.ts: Remove unused variables
- panel-dock-system.ts: Remove unused context variables
Impact:
- ✅ All modules use canonical type definitions
- ✅ No more duplicate/conflicting interfaces
- ✅ Dead code removed (148 lines)
- ✅ Cleaner imports, easier maintenance
- ✅ TypeScript compiler warnings resolved

Fix TypeScript issues in device-management.ts and unlinked_books.ts:
1. device-management.ts:
- Move 'deviceType' variable declaration to function scope in showDeviceSettings()
- Previously declared inside a Promise chain, creating potential scope issues
- Now properly declared at function level before async operations
2. unlinked_books.ts:
- Remove unused 'result' parameter from .then() handlers
- Fixes autoLinkBook() and confirmManualLink() functions
- Handlers don't use the API response result, only need success/failure
These changes improve code clarity and resolve potential runtime issues
with variable accessibility in async callback chains.
Technical details:
- deviceType: moved from Promise .then() block to function scope
- Unused parameters: removed to prevent linting warnings and improve clarity
- Wrap all Alpine.data() object literals in arrow functions (() => ({}))
- This fixes "n.bind is not a function" errors when Alpine initializes components
- Alpine.data() requires a factory function, not a plain object
- Ensures each component instance gets its own closure and proper this binding
Fixed 24 TypeScript files:
- admin.ts, analytics.ts, api.ts, api-explorer-docs.ts
- bookshelf.ts, collection-rules.ts, collections.ts, conflicts.ts
- device-management.ts, docs.ts, header.ts, index.ts
- library.ts, linking.ts, login.ts, password_validation.ts
- profile-modal.ts, profile.ts, queue.ts, register.ts
- search.ts, theme.ts, toast-error.ts, toast.ts, unlinked_books.ts
Before: Alpine.data("name", { method1, method2 })
After: Alpine.data("name", () => ({ method1, method2 }))
This is a critical fix for Alpine.js v3+ where components must be
registered as factory functions to ensure proper reactivity and
prevent binding errors during initialization.
