## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Implements the new feature for
file uploading.)
Allow users to better manage their epub library by offloading unwanted
or finished books and other files. Resolves#893
* **What changes are included?**
Added Delete Book shortcut in the fil browser. Delete function
implements the new ConfirmationActivity to show file name and solicit
user interaction before either returning to the file browser on a press
of the back button, or proceeding to delete. Delete function then
deletes the file and returns user to the file browser menu at the
current directory. Video of it working on my machine attached here:

## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks,
specific areas to focus on).
Certainly potential risks associated with file deletion. Please let me
know if there are any concerns that need to be better addressed. I think
this is a very good feature to have to go along with the new screenshots
so you don't get stuck with a bunch of extra files on your device. Also
I did add this to the user guide.

## Summary
Ref comment:
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/1010#pullrequestreview-3828854640
This PR introduces `ActivityManager`, which mirrors the same concept of
Activity in Android, where an activity represents a single screen of the
UI. The manager is responsible for launching activities, and ensuring
that only one activity is active at a time.
Main differences from Android's ActivityManager:
- No concept of Bundle or Intent extras
- No onPause/onResume, since we don't have a concept of background
activities
- onActivityResult is implemented via a callback instead of a separate
method, for simplicity
## Key changes
- Single `renderTask` shared across all activities
- No more sub-activity, we manage them using a stack; Results can be
passed via `startActivityForResult` and `setResult`
- Activity can call `finish()` to destroy themself, but the actual
deletion will be handled by `ActivityManager` to avoid `delete this`
pattern
As a bonus: the manager will automatically call `requestUpdate()` when
returning from another activity
## Example usage
**BEFORE**:
```cpp
// caller
enterNewActivity(new WifiSelectionActivity(renderer, mappedInput,
[this](const bool connected) { onWifiSelectionComplete(connected); }));
// subactivity
onComplete(true); // will eventually call exitActivity(), which deletes the caller instance (dangerous behavior)
```
**AFTER**: (mirrors the `startActivityForResult` and `setResult` from
android)
```cpp
// caller
startActivityForResult(new NetworkModeSelectionActivity(renderer, mappedInput),
[this](const ActivityResult& result) { onNetworkModeSelected(result.selectedNetworkMode); });
// subactivity
ActivityResult result;
result.isCancelled = false;
result.selectedNetworkMode = mode;
setResult(result);
finish(); // signals to ActivityManager to go back to last activity AFTER this function returns
```
TODO:
- [x] Reconsider if the `Intent` is really necessary or it should be
removed (note: it's inspired by
[Intent](https://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-common)
from Android API) ==> I decided to keep this pattern fr clarity
- [x] Verify if behavior is still correct (i.e. back from sub-activity)
- [x] Refactor the `ActivityWithSubactivity` to just simple `Activity`
--> We are using a stack for keeping track of sub-activity now
- [x] Use single task for rendering --> avoid allocating 8KB stack per
activity
- [x] Implement the idea of [Activity
result](https://developer.android.com/training/basics/intents/result)
--> Allow sub-activity like Wifi to report back the status (connected,
failed, etc)

## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
Small cleanup to make getTheme and getMetrics methods on UITheme const.
They return const refs, so updated call sites to use `const auto&`.
Realistically this won't make much performance difference, but it better
conveys the nature of theme metrics being shared const state.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Implements the new feature for
file uploading.)
Implements new feature for viewing .bmp files directly from the "Browse
Files" menu.
* **What changes are included?**
You can now view .bmp files when browsing. You can click the select
button to open the file, and then click back to close it and continue
browsing in the same location. Once open a file will display on the
screen with no additional options to interact outside of exiting with
the back button.
The attached video shows this feature in action:

## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks,
specific areas to focus on).
The changes implemented in #884 are also present here as this feature is
actually what led to me noticing this issue. I figured I would add that
PR as a separate request in case that one could be more easily merged
given this feature is significantly more complicated and will likely be
subject to more intense review.

## 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.

I used AI for the black work of replacing strings with I18n references
across the project, and for generating the documentation. EDIT: also
some help with merging changes from master.

## Summary
Currently, each activity has to manage their own `displayTaskLoop` which
adds redundant boilerplate code. The loop is a wait loop which is also
not the best practice, as the `updateRequested` boolean is not protected
by a mutex.
In this PR:
- Move `displayTaskLoop` to the super `Activity` class
- Replace `updateRequested` with freeRTOS's [direct to task
notification](https://www.freertos.org/Documentation/02-Kernel/02-Kernel-features/03-Direct-to-task-notifications/01-Task-notifications)
- For `ActivityWithSubactivity`, whenever a sub-activity is present, the
parent's `render()` automatically goes inactive
With this change, activities now only need to expose `render()`
function, and anywhere in the code base can call `requestUpdate()` to
request a new rendering pass.
## Additional Context
In theory, this change may also make the battery life a bit better,
since one wait loop is removed. Although the equipment in my home lab
wasn't been able to verify it (the electric current is too noisy and
small). Would appreciate if anyone has any insights on this subject.
Update: I managed to hack [a small piece of
code](https://github.com/ngxson/crosspoint-reader/tree/xsn/measure_cpu_usage)
that allow tracking CPU idle time.
The CPU load does decrease a bit (1.47% down to 1.39%), which make
sense, because the display task is now sleeping most of the time unless
notified. This should translate to a slightly increase in battery life
in the long run.

This PR unifies navigation handling & adds system-wide support for
continuous navigation.
## Summary
Holding down a navigation button now continuously advances through items
until the button is released. This removes the need for repeated
press-and-release actions and makes navigation faster and smoother,
especially in long menus or documents.
When page-based navigation is available, it will navigate through pages.
If not, it will progress through menu items or similar list-based UI
elements.
Additionally, this PR fixes inconsistencies in wrap-around behavior and
navigation index calculations.
Places where the navigation system was updated:
- Home Page
- Settings Pages
- My Library Page
- WiFi Selection Page
- OPDS Browser Page
- Keyboard
- File Transfer Page
- XTC Chapter Selector Page
- EPUB Chapter Selector Page
I’ve tested this on the device as much as possible and tried to match
the existing behavior. Please let me know if I missed anything. Thanks 🙏

Following the request from @osteotek and @daveallie for system-wide
support, the old PR (#379) has been closed in favor of this
consolidated, system-wide implementation.

## 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
Extracted some changes from
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/500 to make
reviewing easier
This PR adds HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) for display and GPIO
components, making it easier to write a stub or an emulated
implementation of the hardware.
SD card HAL will be added via another PR, because it's a bit more
tricky.
