## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** fix edge case for definition
## Additional Context
If loadFromFile() returns false (no state file exists — first boot, or
SD missing), lastSleepImage is never set and contains garbage.
[SleepActivity.cpp:83] then uses it in a while comparison to avoid
repeating the same image. The JSON path (doc["lastSleepImage"] |
(uint8_t)0) handles it, but only if the file exists.

## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
This change avoids the pattern of creating a `std::string` using
`.substr` in order to compare against a file extension literal.
```c++
std::string path;
if (path.length() >= 4 && path.substr(path.length() - 4) == ".ext")
```
The `checkFileExtension` utility has moved from StringUtils to
FsHelpers, to be available to code in lib/. The signature now accepts a
`std::string_view` instead of `std::string`, which makes the single
implementation reusable for Arduino `String`.
Added utility functions for commonly repeated extensions.
These changes **save about 2 KB of flash (5,999,427 to 5,997,343)**.

## Summary
* Custom sleep screen images now load from /.sleep directory
(preferred), falling back to /sleep for backwards compatibility. The
dot-prefix keeps the directory hidden from the file browser.
* Rewrote User Guide section 3.6 to document all six sleep screen modes,
cover settings, and the updated custom image setup.
## Additional Context
* The sleep directoy entry while browsing files was distracting.

## Summary
- **SleepActivity.cpp**: Add missing `file.close()` calls in 3 code
paths that open BMP files for sleep screen rendering but never close
them before returning. Affects random custom sleep images, the
`/sleep.bmp` fallback, and book cover sleep screens.
- **CrossPointWebServer.cpp**: Add missing `dir.close()` in the delete
handler when `Storage.open()` returns a valid `FsFile` that is not a
directory.
## Context
SdFat is configured with `DESTRUCTOR_CLOSES_FILE=0`, which means
`FsFile` objects are **not** automatically closed when they go out of
scope. Every opened file must be explicitly closed.
The SleepActivity leaks are particularly impactful because they occur on
every sleep cycle. While ESP32 deep sleep clears RAM on wake, these
leaks can still affect the current session if sleep screen rendering is
triggered multiple times (e.g., cover preview, or if deep sleep fails to
engage).
The web server leak in `handleDelete()` is a minor edge case (directory
path that opens successfully but `isDirectory()` returns false), but
it's still worth fixing for correctness.
## Test plan
- [x] Verify sleep screen still renders correctly (custom BMP, fallback,
cover modes)
- [x] Verify folder deletion still works via the web UI
- [ ] Monitor free heap before/after sleep screen rendering to confirm
no leak

## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
This PR introduces Internationalization (i18n) support, enabling users
to switch the UI language dynamically.
**What changes are included?**
- Core Logic: Added I18n class (`lib/I18n/I18n.h/cpp`) to manage
language state and string retrieval.
- Data Structures:
- `lib/I18n/I18nStrings.h/cpp`: Static string arrays for each supported
language.
- `lib/I18n/I18nKeys.h`: Enum definitions for type-safe string access.
- `lib/I18n/translations.csv`: single source of truth.
- Documentation: Added `docs/i18n.md` detailing the workflow for
developers and translators.
- New Settings activity:
`src/activities/settings/LanguageSelectActivity.h/cpp`
## Additional Context
This implementation (building on concepts from #505) prioritizes
performance and memory efficiency.
The core approach is to store all localized strings for each language in
dedicated arrays and access them via enums. This provides O(1) access
with zero runtime overhead, and avoids the heap allocations, hashing,
and collision handling required by `std::map` or `std::unordered_map`.
The main trade-off is that enums and string arrays must remain perfectly
synchronized—any mismatch would result in incorrect strings being
displayed in the UI.
To eliminate this risk, I added a Python script that automatically
generates `I18nStrings.h/.cpp` and `I18nKeys.h` from a CSV file, which
will serve as the single source of truth for all translations. The full
design and workflow are documented in `docs/i18n.md`.
### Next Steps
- [x] Python script `generate_i18n.py` to auto-generate C++ files from
CSV
- [x] Populate translations.csv with initial translations.
Currently available translations: English, Español, Français, Deutsch,
Čeština, Português (Brasil), Русский, Svenska.
Thanks, community!
**Status:** EDIT: ready to be merged.
As a proof of concept, the SPANISH strings currently mirror the English
ones, but are fully uppercased.

## Summary
* Definition and use of a central LOG function, that can later be
extended or completely be removed (for public use where debugging
information may not be required) to save flash by suppressing the
-DENABLE_SERIAL_LOG like in the slim branch
* **What changes are included?**
## Additional Context
* By using the central logger the usual:
```
#include <HardwareSerial.h>
...
Serial.printf("[%lu] [WCS] Obfuscating/deobfuscating %zu bytes\n", millis(), data.size());
```
would then become
```
#include <Logging.h>
...
LOG_DBG("WCS", "Obfuscating/deobfuscating %zu bytes", data.size());
```
You do have ``LOG_DBG`` for debug messages, ``LOG_ERR`` for error
messages and ``LOG_INF`` for informational messages. Depending on the
verbosity level defined (see below) soe of these message types will be
suppressed/not-compiled.
* The normal compilation (default) will create a firmware.elf file of
42.194.356 bytes, the same code via slim will create 42.024.048 bytes -
170.308 bytes less
* Firmware.bin : 6.469.984 bytes for default, 6.418.672 bytes for slim -
51.312 bytes less

## Summary
Continue my changes to introduce the HAL infrastructure from
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/522
This PR touches quite a lot of files, but most of them are just name
changing. It should not have any impacts to the end behavior.
## Additional Context
My plan is to firstly add this small shim layer, which sounds useless at
first, but then I'll implement an emulated driver which can be helpful
for testing and for development.
Currently, on my fork, I'm using a FS driver that allow "mounting" a
local directory from my computer to the device, much like the `-v` mount
option on docker. This allows me to quickly reset `.crosspoint`
directory if anything goes wrong. I plan to upstream this feature when
this PR get merged.

## Summary
### What is the goal of this PR?
- Visual UI overhaul
- UI theme selection
### What changes are included?
- Added a setting "UI Theme": Classic, Lyra
- The classic theme is the current Crosspoint theme
- The Lyra theme implements these mockups:
https://www.figma.com/design/UhxoV4DgUnfrDQgMPPTXog/Lyra-Theme?node-id=2003-7596&t=4CSOZqf0n9uQMxDt-0
by Discord users yagofarias, ruby and gan_shu
- New functions in GFXRenderer to render rounded rectangles, greyscale
fills (using dithering) and thick lines
- Basic UI components are factored into BaseTheme methods which can be
overridden by each additional theme. Methods that are not overridden
will fallback to BaseTheme behavior. This means any new
features/components in CrossPoint only need to be developed for the
"Classic" BaseTheme.
- Additional themes can easily be developed by the community using this
foundation



## Additional Context
- Only the Home, Library and main Settings screens have been implemented
so far, this will be extended to the transfer screens and chapter
selection screen later on, but we need to get the ball rolling somehow
:)
- Loading extra covers on the home screen in the Lyra theme takes a
little more time (about 2 seconds), I added a loading bar popup (reusing
the Indexing progress bar from the reader view, factored into a neat UI
component) but the popup adds ~400ms to the loading time.
- ~~Home screen thumbnails will need to be generated separately for each
theme, because they are displayed in different sizes. Because we're
using dithering, displaying a thumb with the wrong size causes the
picture to look janky or dark as it does on the screenshots above. No
worries this will be fixed in a future PR.~~ Thumbs are now generated
with a size parameter
- UI Icons will need to be implemented in a future PR.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
- Adds basic CSS parsing to EPUBs and determine the CSS rules when
rendering to the screen so that text is styled correctly. Currently
supports bold, underline, italics, margin, padding, and text alignment
## Additional Context
- My main reason for wanting this is that the book I'm currently
reading, Carl's Doomsday Scenario (2nd in the Dungeon Crawler Carl
series), relies _a lot_ on styled text for telling parts of the story.
When text is bolded, it's supposed to be a message that's rendered
"on-screen" in the story. When characters are "chatting" with each
other, the text is bolded and their names are underlined. Plus, normal
emphasis is provided with italicizing words here and there. So, this
greatly improves my experience reading this book on the Xteink, and I
figured it was useful enough for others too.
- For transparency: I'm a software engineer, but I'm mostly frontend and
TypeScript/JavaScript. It's been _years_ since I did any C/C++, so I
would not be surprised if I'm doing something dumb along the way in this
code. Please don't hesitate to ask for changes if something looks off. I
heavily relied on Claude Code for help, and I had a lot of inspiration
from how [microreader](https://github.com/CidVonHighwind/microreader)
achieves their CSS parsing and styling. I did give this as good of a
code review as I could and went through everything, and _it works on my
machine_ 😄

## Summary
* refactors Indexing popups into ScreenComponents (they had different
implementations in different files)
* removes Indexing popup for small chapters

## Summary
This was originally a comment in #499, but I'm making it its own PR,
because it doesn't depend on anything there and then I can base that PR
on this one.
Currently, `drawBitmap` is used for covers and sleep wallpaper, and
`drawImage` is used for the boot logo. `drawBitmap` goes row by row and
pixel by pixel, so it respects the renderer orientation. `drawImage`
just calls the `EInkDisplay`'s `drawImage`, which works in the eink
panel's native display orientation.
`drawImage` rotates the x,y coordinates where it's going to draw the
image, but doesn't account for the fact that the northwest corner in
portrait orientation becomes, the southwest corner of the image
rectangle in the native orientation. The boot and sleep activities
currently work around this by calculating the north*east* corner of
where the image should go, which becomes the northwest corner after
`rotateCoordinates`.
I think this wasn't really apparent because the CrossPoint logo is
rotationally symmetrical. The `EInkDisplay` `drawImage` always draws the
image in native orientation, but that looks the same for the "X" image.
If we rotate the origin coordinate in `GfxRenderer`'s `drawImage`, we
can use a much clearer northwest corner coordinate in the boot and sleep
activities. (And then, in #499, we can actually rotate the boot screen
to the user's preferred orientation).
This does *not* yet rotate the actual bits in the image; it's still
displayed in native orientation. This doesn't affect the
rotationally-symmetric logo, but if it's ever changed, we will probably
want to allocate a new `u8int[]` and transpose rows and columns if
necessary.
## Additional Context
I've created an additional branch on top of this to demonstrate by
replacing the logo with a non-rotationally-symmetrical image:
<img width="128" height="128" alt="Cat-in-a-pan-128-bw"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d0b239bc-fe75-4ec8-bc02-9cf9436ca65f"
/>
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/compare/master...maeveynot:rotated-cat
(many thanks to https://notisrac.github.io/FileToCArray/)
As you can see, it is always drawn in native orientation, which makes it
sideways (turned clockwise) in portrait.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Add support for reading plain text (.txt) files, enabling users to
browse, read, and track progress in TXT documents alongside existing
EPUB and XTC formats.
* **What changes are included?**
- New Txt library for loading and parsing plain text files
- New TxtReaderActivity with streaming page rendering using 8KB chunks
to handle large files without memory issues on ESP32-C3
- Page index caching system (index.bin) for instant re-open after sleep
or app restart
- Progress bar UI during initial file indexing (matching EPUB style)
- Word wrapping with proper UTF-8 support
- Cover image support for TXT files:
- Primary: image with same filename as TXT (e.g., book.jpg for book.txt)
- Fallback: cover.bmp/jpg/jpeg in the same folder
- JPG to BMP conversion using existing converter
- Sleep screen cover mode now works with TXT files
- File browser now shows .txt files
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
* Memory constraints: The streaming approach was necessary because
ESP32-C3 only has 320KB RAM. A 700KB TXT file cannot be loaded entirely
into memory, so we read 8KB chunks and build a page offset index
instead.
* Cache invalidation: The page index cache automatically invalidates
when file size, viewport width, or lines per page changes (e.g., font
size or orientation change).
* Performance: First open requires indexing (with progress bar),
subsequent opens load from cache instantly.
* Cover image format: PNG is detected but not supported for conversion
(no PNG decoder available). Only BMP and JPG/JPEG work.
When picking a random sleep image from a set of custom images, compare
the randomly chosen index against a cached value in settings. If the
value matches, use the next image (rolling over if it's the last image).
Cache the chosen image index to settings in either case.
## Summary
Implements a tweak on the custom sleep image feature that ensures that
the user gets a new image every time the device goes to sleep.
This change adds a new setting (perhaps there's a better place to cache
this?) that stores the most recently used file index. During picking the
random image index, we compare this against the random index and choose
the next one (modulo the number of image files) if it matches, ensuring
we get a new image.
## Additional Context
As mentioned, I used settings to cache this value since it is a
persisted store, perhaps that's overkill. Open to suggestions on if
there's a better way.
1. Refactor Bitmap.cpp/h to expose the options for FloydSteinberg and
brightness/gamma correction at runtime
2. Fine-tune the thresholds for Floyd Steiberg and simple quantization
to better match the display's colors
Turns out that 2 is enough to make the images render properly, so the
brightness boost and gamma adjustment doesn't seem necessary currently
(at least for my test image).
Added a setting to select `fit` or `crop` for cover image on sleep
screen.
Might add a `expand` feature in the future that does not crop but rather
fills the blank space with a mirror of the image.
