Add the 'reading_mode' field with 'dark' | 'light' values to the
ReaderSettings TypeScript interface, preparing the frontend for a
dark/light reading mode toggle.
Major rewrite of the web reader to properly interface with
@bookhoard/foliate-js, replacing the abandoned panel-detection
architecture with direct pan and zoom support built into the
foliate-js FixedLayout renderer.
Template (reader.templ):
- Fix critical bug: x-init config was using literal strings
'{ readerData.X }' inside a quoted attribute, which templ
treated as raw text and never interpolated. Values were never
actually passed to JavaScript. Now uses fmt.Sprintf() with
templ's expression attribute syntax ={ }.
- Pass fileUrl from server so foliate-js can open books directly.
- Redesign bottom bar with foliate-js parity: left/right navigation
buttons, progress slider with tick marks, and zoom controls
(zoom out, percentage display, zoom in, magnifier, pan/select
mode toggle for PDFs).
- Remove panel editor button and enablePanelDetection config.
- Add SVG icon styles for consistent reader controls.
Go types (templates/types.go):
- Expand ReaderMetadata with FormatGroup, MangaType,
ReadingDirection, FileURL, and LibraryID fields needed by
the reader frontend.
Router (internal/router/reader.go):
- Populate new ReaderMetadata fields from database values.
- Construct FileURL from library ID and file path for the
/uploads/library-{id}/* file serving route.
Reader JS (reader.ts):
- Full rewrite modeled on foliate-js Reader class, adapted for
Alpine.js. Opens books via view.open(fileUrl), accesses
view.renderer for zoom/pan/navigation, and wires up keyboard
shortcuts (+/-/0 for zoom, arrows for nav, Escape for magnifier).
- Uses view.isFixedLayout instead of importing FixedLayout class,
avoiding a TypeScript module resolution issue with the Vite alias.
Settings manager (settings-manager.ts):
- Remove dependency on deleted ReaderContext event bus.
- Export loadSettings/saveSettings/syncSettings directly as
standalone async functions.
Cleanup:
- Delete reader-context.ts and reader-events.ts (over-engineered
event system replaced by direct function calls).
- Remove panel_zoom_enabled from ReaderSettings type.
- Add comprehensive metadata fields from server response (30+ properties)
- Include core identification fields (id, media_item_id, library_id)
- Add content metadata (description, ISBN, series, tags, publisher, etc.)
- Add format identification (format_group, mime_type, file_path, file_size)
- Add library classification (library_type_name, library_type)
- Add comic/manga specific fields (manga_type, reading_direction, series_count)
- Add additional metadata (age_rating, community_rating, story_arc, etc.)
- Add timestamps (created_at, updated_at)
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing properties
This aligns the TypeScript interface with the actual server API response
structure, preventing type mismatches and improving type safety across
the reader codebase.

BREAKING CHANGE: Unify ebook reader type system to match actual data structures
Problem:
- ReflowableBook type had direct properties (spine, resources, toc, metadata)
- UniversalReader wraps EbookCIF in cif property with runtime state
- Type mismatch caused unsafe 'as any' casts and runtime errors
- Two conflicting UniversalReader definitions existed (reader-shell vs reader-context)
Root Cause:
- Parsers return EbookCIF (nested structure)
- ReflowableBook expected flat structure
- Code mixed both approaches causing confusion
Changes:
Type System Updates:
- Replace all ReflowableBook references with UniversalReader
- Remove duplicate UniversalReader definition in reader-context.ts
- Import UniversalReader from canonical source (reader-shell.ts)
- Update all function signatures across reflowable module
Property Access Patterns:
- book.cif.spine instead of book.spine
- book.cif.resources instead of book.resources
- book.cif.toc instead of book.toc
- book.cif.metadata instead of book.metadata
Fixed Modules:
- reader-shell.ts: UniversalReader object construction
- reader-context.ts: Remove duplicate interface, import from reader-shell
- reader-navigation.ts: Remove unsafe type casts, fix property access
- reader-services.ts: Align with UniversalReader structure
- reflowable/navigation.ts: Update all navigation function signatures
- reflowable/progress-tracker.ts: Update tracker function signatures
- reflowable/parser.ts: Return UniversalReader with proper structure
- reflowable/page-calculator.ts: Update calculation function signatures
- reflowable/ebook/search.ts: Fix property access patterns
- types/reader.d.ts: Remove duplicate type definitions
Impact:
- ✅ Type-safe throughout ebook reader
- ✅ Matches actual data structures from parsers
- ✅ No more unsafe type casts
- ✅ Single source of truth for UniversalReader
- ✅ Aligns with EbookCIF format from API/parsers

Supporting updates for the new page-based pagination architecture:
settings-manager.ts:
- Export loadSettings function for use in reader initialization
- Allow external modules to access user reading preferences
gestures.ts:
- Update import paths for panel detection modules
- Reflect new format-specific directory structure
types/reader.d.ts:
- Add saved_progress field to ReaderMetadata interface
- Include current_page, cfi, and progress fields
- Enable type-safe access to restored reading position
These changes enable the pagination system to access user
settings and properly type restored progress data.
- Add SVG image support: process <image xlink:href=...> elements
in addition to HTML <img> tags for cover pages and embedded images
- Fix progress update: use 'id' from API response instead of
'media_item_id' which the backend never returns for this endpoint
- Update reader context interfaces to include currentPage field
- Add debug logging for all resource keys to help troubleshoot
image loading issues in future epubs
- Move ReaderMetadata from api.ts to reader.d.ts as global type
- Add format_group field for format detection (reflowable/fixed_layout/comic_archive)
- Add library_type_name for library type (ebooks/comics/manga/pdf)
- Add manga_type for manga-specific reading direction metadata
- Remove duplicate mime_type field and fix typo (unkown -> unknown)
Define comprehensive TypeScript interfaces for reader functionality:
- Common Intermediate Format (CIF) for universal ebook representation
- Parser capabilities and format detection types
- Reader metadata and chapter structure interfaces
- Panel layout and dock system types
- Reading progress and settings interfaces
- Dictionary and search functionality types
These types provide the foundation for type-safe reader implementation
across all media types (ebook, comic, manga, pdf).
Delete web/src/types/htmx.d.ts - HTMX is already declared in web/src/alpine.ts.
Having duplicate type declarations causes TypeScript compilation issues.
The Window interface extension in alpine.ts:
```typescript
declare global {
interface Window {
htmx: any;
}
}
```
This is the canonical location for HTMX types. Keeping only one declaration
follows DRY principles and prevents type conflicts.
