navigator.clipboard.writeText is unreliable inside the Tauri Android
WebView, so tapping Copy in the Reader's selection popup silently
no-ops. Route the write through @tauri-apps/plugin-clipboard-manager
on Tauri targets (Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux), with a
graceful navigator.clipboard / execCommand fallback for the web
build and older WebViews.
- Add tauri-plugin-clipboard-manager (Rust + JS)
- Register the plugin in lib.rs
- Grant clipboard-manager:allow-write-text / allow-read-text
- New utils/clipboard.ts wrapper with platform-aware fallback chain
- Annotator handleCopy and handleConfirmExport use the wrapper
A `.window-state.json` containing the Windows minimized sentinel
(x/y = -32000) or a 0×0 size makes WebView2 reject the restored bounds
with 0x80070057 ("The parameter is incorrect"), so the app fails to
launch until the file is deleted by hand.
Add a small `window-state-sanitizer` plugin, registered before
tauri-plugin-window-state, that strips window entries with invalid
geometry (non-positive size, or a position past the -16000 off-screen
cutoff) from the state file before the plugin loads it. Affected windows
fall back to default geometry instead of crashing.
Defense-in-depth: the bundled plugin (2.4.1) already guards against
writing these values, so a bad file is almost certainly stale from an
older build; this self-heals it on next launch.

* feat(import): support folder picker on iOS via native-bridge
Tauri's dialog plugin rejects folder picks on both mobile platforms with FolderPickerNotImplemented, so previously only Android could pick an import directory (it already routed through the native-bridge plugin's ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE). iOS users had no working folder-import entry point at all.
Add an iOS implementation of the native-bridge select_directory command using UIDocumentPickerViewController(forOpeningContentTypes: [.folder], asCopy: false), with a dedicated FolderPickerDelegate that:
- holds a strong reference until the picker dismisses (UIKit keeps the delegate weak), and
- calls startAccessingSecurityScopedResource on the picked URL and retains it for the app's lifetime so plain Foundation/POSIX reads against url.path work for the rest of the session.
Route NativeAppService.selectDirectory through the bridge for both iOS and Android, then call allowPathsInScopes so the picked directory is reachable via fs_scope and the asset protocol. The library page's pickImportDirectory entry point now also takes the mobile branch on iOS, while keeping the Android-only MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE prompt gated behind isAndroidApp.
* feat(ios): persist security-scoped bookmarks for picked folders
iOS hands the folder picker back a security-scoped URL whose access
right is granted only to the running process. The previous
implementation kept the URL alive for the lifetime of the process via a
static `urlsToKeepAlive` array, which worked for the current session
but forced the user to re-pick the same folder after every relaunch.
Add a `FolderBookmarkStore` that:
- Right after the picker returns, calls
`URL.bookmarkData(.minimalBookmark)` and stashes the bytes in
`UserDefaults` keyed by the POSIX path.
- On every `NativeBridgePlugin.load(webview:)`, walks every persisted
bookmark, resolves it back into a URL, and calls
`startAccessingSecurityScopedResource`. Holds the URL alive in a
process-scoped dictionary so subsequent Foundation / POSIX reads
against `url.path` succeed.
- Handles `isStale` by re-encoding the bookmark against the resolved
URL, and drops permanently unresolvable bookmarks (folder gone,
provider uninstalled) from `UserDefaults` so the next launch
doesn't re-attempt them.
Pair this with a Tauri-side change so the same paths are reachable
through both `dir_scanner::read_dir` and the fs plugin's `readDir`:
- `allow_paths_in_scopes` now has an iOS branch that widens
`fs_scope` / `asset_protocol_scope` for any path the frontend hands
it, intentionally without the desktop-side "must already be in
fs_scope" gate. The OS sandbox + bookmark store is the real
access-control boundary on iOS; widening Tauri's in-memory scope
set cannot escalate access beyond what the OS already grants. The
security comment on the command was rewritten to spell this
contract out.
- `allow_file_in_scopes` is now compiled for iOS too (previously
desktop-only) so the file-grant path is available when needed.
iOS and Android now run the same Web-URL clip flow as desktop. Paste
an article URL, the native side opens a full-screen WKWebView /
WebView with the same Chrome UA + fingerprint mask + "Saving to
Readest" overlay as the desktop hidden window, waits for load +
settle, captures `document.documentElement.outerHTML` via the
platform's `evaluateJavaScript`, and returns it through the existing
`convertToEpub` pipeline.
JS surface stays `invoke('clip_url', { url, options })` — no changes
in `library/page.tsx` or `send/page.tsx`. The platform branch lives
entirely in `clip_url.rs`.
Why not Tauri's `Window::add_child`
`add_child` is gated `#[cfg(any(test, all(desktop, feature =
"unstable")))]` in tauri 2.10. No public API for attaching a second
webview to the main window on mobile, so the clip flow can't be a
`#[cfg(mobile)]` branch of the existing `WebviewWindowBuilder` shape
— it needs native code. Extend `tauri-plugin-native-bridge` rather
than create a separate plugin: the Swift / Kotlin scaffolding +
Tauri IPC are already there.
Layout
- `src-tauri/src/clip_url.rs` — desktop branch unchanged; new
`#[cfg(mobile)]` `clip_url` command routes through
`app.native_bridge().clip_url(request)`. Shared `ClipOptions`
struct exposes its fields `pub` so the mobile branch can map into
the plugin's `ClipUrlRequest`.
- `plugins/tauri-plugin-native-bridge/src/models.rs` — `ClipUrlRequest`
+ `ClipUrlResponse` mirroring `ClipOptions` field-for-field so the
payload travels untouched from JS through to Swift/Kotlin.
- `plugins/tauri-plugin-native-bridge/src/{desktop,mobile}.rs` — desktop
returns an error (desktop has its own path); mobile dispatches via
`run_mobile_plugin("clip_url", payload)`.
- `ios/Sources/ClipUrlController.swift` — `UIViewController` hosting
`WKWebView` with the loading overlay drawn as native UIKit views
(not an injected user script, so the page's own hydration can't
wipe the spinner). 30 s hard timeout + 3 s settle window after
`didFinish`, same as desktop. Fingerprint mask injected as
`WKUserScript` at `.atDocumentStart`.
- `android/src/main/java/ClipUrlController.kt` — full-screen Dialog
hosting a `WebView`, mirrors the iOS controller's behaviour. JSON-
decodes the `evaluateJavascript` callback (raw return value is a
JSON-encoded string).
- `NativeBridgePlugin.{swift,kt}` — new `clip_url` method that parses
args via `invoke.parseArgs`, presents the controller, resolves the
invoke with `{ html }` on success or `invoke.reject` on failure.
Same rejection vocabulary as desktop (`"Invalid URL"`, `"Page took
too long to load"`, etc.) so the calling JS doesn't need a
platform branch.
- `build.rs` — adds `clip_url` to the plugin's `COMMANDS` array.
Notes
- The Swift overlay reserves the iOS safe-area-edge-to-edge so notch /
Dynamic Island devices don't see the underlying app peek through
during the brief capture window.
- The Android overlay's spinner tint follows the foreground theme
colour at 85 % alpha — same idea as the iOS controller.
- `WKWebView`'s JS keeps running while the controller is presented;
no off-screen / `isHidden` trick that would let iOS throttle the
page mid-capture.

* fix(macos): place traffic lights via Tauri trafficLightPosition
Replaces the cocoa private-API positioning that drove traffic light placement through IPC with Tauri's supported trafficLightPosition window option, which routes through wry's macOS API and stays correct across versions including macOS 26 (Tahoe).
Position is now declared once at window creation: WebviewWindowBuilder.traffic_light_position in src-tauri/src/lib.rs for the initial main window, and trafficLightPosition on new WebviewWindow(...) in utils/nav.ts for reader windows and the recreated main window. The reader path mattered — those windows used to rely on the cocoa hack to place buttons after the on_window_ready hook fired, so any path that bypassed it left the buttons in AppKit's overlay default position (off-screen on macOS 26 until a resize).
The IPC surface narrows accordingly. set_traffic_lights now takes only visible: position is no longer a parameter and the WINDOW_CONTROL_PAD_X/Y static muts go away; setTrafficLightVisibility drops its position arg in trafficLightStore; useTrafficLight and HeaderBar drop their hard-coded { x: 10, y: 20 } magic numbers. position_traffic_lights stops touching the per-button NSWindowButton frames entirely and only collapses or restores the title-bar container view to hide / show buttons during reader chrome auto-hide. A short-circuit on the no-op transition keeps the cocoa setFrame from racing AppKit's own traffic-light tracking on every IPC call.
useTrafficLight stays — it still owns full-screen visibility synchronisation, the auto-hide visibility toggle, and feeds isTrafficLightVisible to the self-drawn <WindowButtons /> in the auth, library, OPDS, reader-sidebar, and user headers. None of those have an equivalent in the new declarative API. Only its 'where do the buttons sit' responsibility was moved out.
A single named constant TRAFFIC_LIGHT_RESTORE_Y_INSET is left behind in traffic_light.rs, used solely by the visible: false → true restore path to recompute the title-bar container height. It must agree with the y component of the two declarative trafficLightPosition values; a doc comment makes that contract explicit. Caching each window's natural title-bar height before the first collapse would let us delete the constant entirely, but the per-window state machine that requires is not worth the win for a single number.
y is tuned by eye to 24 to vertically center the buttons inside readest's ~48px header bar on macOS 26.1.
* fix(macos): center traffic lights from live AppKit offset, no version check
Restores the pre-PR cocoa-driven positioning that worked on macOS 15
while keeping the macOS 26 fix this PR was originally about: the
plugin owns `position_traffic_lights`, which now sizes the title-bar
container *and* sets each window button's frame.origin on every
on_window_ready / resize / theme-change / full-screen-exit event. Tao's
runtime `inset_traffic_lights` never fires (we never declare
`trafficLightPosition` or call `set_traffic_light_position`), so there
is no second code path fighting us on drawRect.
The y inset that visually centers the close button is computed at
runtime as
y = (header_height - button_height) / 2 + button_origin_y
where `button_origin_y` is the close button's natural rest position
inside the title-bar container. Apple shifted that rest position by
~2pt on macOS Tahoe (26), so the same formula yields y=22 on macOS 15.6
and y=24 on macOS 26.1 with a 48px header — no `NSProcessInfo` lookup
and no hardcoded per-OS offset. The natural origin.y is read once and
cached via `OnceLock` so any post-resize autoresize that AppKit might
apply doesn't feed back into the centering math.
Frontend plumbing: `set_traffic_lights` IPC now carries `headerHeight`;
the zustand store remembers it across visibility toggles; the
`useTrafficLight` hook accepts a header ref, mirrors `ref.current`
into local state (so the effect re-runs when LibraryHeader's
conditional render flips the ref from null to the live node), measures
the border-box height on mount, and observes via ResizeObserver to
re-push on responsive breakpoint / safe-area changes. LibraryHeader,
sidebar Header, OPDS Navigation, and the reader HeaderBar each pass
their own ref so y is computed against the chrome each page actually
renders.
Library header is normalised to h-[44px] desktop to match the reader's
h-11 and drops the `-2px` macOS marginTop workaround, since the runtime
centering removes the need for it.

Builds the URL-clipping path of the "Send to Readest" feature: paste a
link, the renderer ingests the rendered page, and a self-contained EPUB
lands in the library. No server proxy, no external CDN refs left in the
EPUB once it's saved.
Architecture
- New Rust `clip_url` command spawns a hidden Tauri WebviewWindow at the
target URL with a real Chrome UA + WebKit fingerprint mask, so TLS-
fingerprint and JS-challenge walls (Cloudflare, Medium, X, WeChat MP)
resolve naturally instead of bouncing the server proxy.
- Capture transport is URL-payload navigation to a one-shot
127.0.0.1:RANDOM_PORT/clip/{token}?d={url-safe-base64} listener.
Top-level navigation isn't governed by CSP connect-src / form-action /
WebKit Private Network Access — the four earlier transports
(fetch, <form>, custom URI scheme, window.name) were each blocked by
one of those.
- Page-to-EPUB bundler (`assetBundler`) walks <img>/<picture> with
src → data-src → data-original → data-srcset → srcset fallback so lazy-
loading sites don't ship a 60px LQIP; fetches assets in parallel with a
per-asset timeout + per-asset/total caps; failed images degrade to alt-
text placeholders. A per-site rules table (seeded with WeChat MP) + a
selector fallback catches articles Readability misextracts. Builder
prepends the article <h1> + byline so the EPUB has a proper opening.
- Nested EPUB TOC built from h1–h6.
UI surfaces
- "From Web URL" entry in the library Import menu, gated to Tauri; web
build hides the URL field and points at the browser extension.
- `ImportFromUrlDialog` with auto-height (overrides Dialog's `sm:h-[65%]`
default) and a dim placeholder for the URL field.
- Clip webview window styled to match Readest's main window — macOS
decorations + overlay title bar; other desktops decorationless with a
drop shadow; native background + in-page loading overlay pick up the
caller's `themeCode.bg`/`fg` so light/dark/eink/custom themes all
render correctly. Title localised, all five overlay/title strings
translated across 33 locales.
Notes
- Gates the macOS traffic-light positioner to main/reader-* windows so
the decorationless clip window no longer null-derefs in
`position_traffic_lights`.
- Stricter validation across the path: schemes restricted to http/https,
hex-color parsing rejects malformed values, server endpoint returns
400 on missing/invalid base64.

* feat(library): add Import from Folder dialog with format/size filters
Replaces the silent "import every supported file recursively" behaviour of the directory import menu item with an explicit dialog that lets users pick which formats to include, set a minimum file size, and choose between mirroring subfolders as nested groups (legacy behaviour) or flattening every match into the current library view.
The folder, the chosen Folder Structure radio, the ticked File Formats and the File Size threshold are all persisted in localStorage so re-opening the dialog seeds every field with the user's last choice. Cancelling the dialog does not write to storage so an aborted pick won't pollute the next session.
Also hides the native number-input spinner via a small .no-spinner utility in globals.css; on macOS WebKit the spin buttons were drawing over the rounded input border and looked broken. The KB suffix now lives inside the input's bordered shell instead of beside it.
Two correctness fixes the dialog flow exposed:
* The library importer + ingestService now treat groupId as a tri-state — undefined means "don't touch the existing group", '' means "explicitly the library root", any other string means a specific group. Previously a falsy check in both layers conflated '' with undefined, so re-importing a deduped book under flatten mode silently kept its stale groupId/groupName from the prior keep-as-groups run, making the book reappear in the old subfolder group instead of moving into the library root. New regression tests in ingest-service.test.ts cover both the empty-string case and the omitted case.
* Imports of arbitrary user paths (e.g. ~/Downloads) now go through a new allow_paths_in_scopes Tauri command that extends both fs_scope and asset_protocol_scope. The dialog plugin only auto-grants fs_scope, so reads through the asset protocol (RemoteFile / convertFileSrc) used to fail with "asset protocol not configured to allow the path". The shim is invoked after every selectFiles / selectDirectory call and once more at the start of runFolderImport so localStorage-restored paths are also covered. Granted scopes persist across restarts via tauri_plugin_persisted_scope.
* fixup(library): harden Import-from-Folder scope grant + RTL/dialog polish
Three review fixes on top of the Import-from-Folder feature:
* lib.rs: refuse to extend asset_protocol_scope for paths not already
in fs_scope. Without this gate, any frontend code (XSS via book
content, OPDS HTML, dictionary lookups, or a compromised dependency)
could call allow_paths_in_scopes with '/' or '~/.ssh' and gain
persistent read access to arbitrary user files via the asset
protocol — the grant survives restarts thanks to
tauri_plugin_persisted_scope. Mirrors the defensive check in
dir_scanner.rs.
* ImportFromFolderDialog.tsx: migrate from a custom ModalPortal chassis
to the project's shared <Dialog> primitive so eink mode auto-removes
shadows, mobile gets the bottom-sheet treatment, RTL direction is
applied, and focus management is correct.
* ImportFromFolderDialog.tsx: swap directional Tailwind utilities for
the logical equivalents (text-start, ps-/pe-, rounded-s-, text-end)
per DESIGN.md §2.8 — Arabic/Hebrew users were getting a mirrored
number-input row with the KB suffix on the wrong side.

* i18n(library): translate Import-from-Folder dialog strings across 33 locales
Translates the 13 new strings introduced with the Import-from-Folder
dialog (folder picker label, format-filter section, size-threshold
input, folder-structure radios, OK button, empty-result toast). All
33 supported locales — including RTL fa/he/ar — are now complete; no
__STRING_NOT_TRANSLATED__ placeholders remain in the catalog.

Hand selected words off to the platform's native dictionary surface
when the user opts into the new "System Dictionary" entry under
Settings → Languages → Dictionaries. The setting is exclusive: enabling
it disables all other providers (and vice versa) so the in-app lookup
button either always opens the popup or always invokes the OS — no
mixed states.
Per platform:
- macOS: AppKit's -[NSView showDefinitionForAttributedString:atPoint:]
via a top-level Tauri command in src-tauri/src/macos/system_dictionary.rs.
Anchored at the selection's bottom-center (CSS pixels mapped into
NSView coords), so the inline Lookup HUD appears just below the
highlighted text without raising Dictionary.app to the foreground.
- iOS: UIReferenceLibraryViewController presented as a half-detent
pageSheet on iPhone (medium → large drag-to-expand) and as a
formSheet on iPad. Implemented in the native-bridge plugin.
- Android: ACTION_PROCESS_TEXT intent with EXTRA_PROCESS_TEXT_READONLY,
dispatched without createChooser so users get the standard system
disambiguation dialog with "Just once / Always" buttons. Reports
unavailable=true when no app handles the intent so the TS layer can
silently skip rather than open an empty chooser.
Web/Linux/Windows hide the row entirely. The provider is a sentinel —
the registry filters it out of the popup tab list (it has no in-popup
UI) and the annotator's handleDictionary checks isSystemDictionaryEnabled
to dispatch directly to the native bridge before opening the in-app
DictionaryPopup.
Add tauri-plugin-webview-upgrade as a git submodule under
apps/readest-app/src-tauri/plugins/. On Android devices whose system
WebView is locked to an old Chromium build (Huawei phones, Moaan / Onyx
/ Kobo e-ink readers, AOSP forks without Play Store, etc.), the reader
bundle renders as a blank screen. The plugin bootstraps before
Application.onCreate via androidx.startup and redirects the in-process
WebView loader to a recent com.google.android.webview when the user has
one sideloaded — opening the only window in which WebViewUpgrade can
swap the provider, before Tauri/Wry creates any WebView.
Thresholds (minUpgradeMajor / minSupportedMajor) come from
plugins.webview-upgrade in tauri.conf.json and are baked into Kotlin
constants at Gradle build time. Below the supported threshold with no
upgrade option, the plugin shows a localized AlertDialog (15 languages,
English fallback) prompting the user to install Android System WebView.

`rsproperties::get` panics when it can't open or parse the
`/dev/__properties__` layout (documented behavior of the crate).
On some older/unusual Android builds (e.g. MediaTek Android 8.1 on
Xiaomi Mipad), this aborts the app with SIGABRT before the main
window is created.
Replace the crate with a direct FFI call to Android's native
`__system_property_get`, which has existed since the earliest
Android versions and returns an error code instead of panicking.

On macOS, closing the last window (Cmd+W or the red traffic light) was
quitting the app, which is unexpected — the native convention is that
Cmd+W closes the window while the app keeps running in the dock, and
only Cmd+Q quits.
Intercept the window CloseRequested event on macOS, prevent the close,
and hide the window instead so the app remains active. Handle the
Reopen event (fired when the user clicks the dock icon) to restore the
hidden window. Cmd+Q continues to go through applicationWillTerminate:
and exits the app normally.
Set up WebDriver-based testing for the Tauri app with two tiers:
- Vitest browser-mode tests (*.tauri.test.ts) running inside the Tauri WebView

Key changes:
- Add webdriver Cargo feature gating tauri-plugin-webdriver
- Add runtime capability for remote URLs (webdriver builds only)
- Add vitest.tauri.config.mts and wdio.conf.ts connecting to embedded
WebDriver server on port 4445
- Add shared tauri-invoke helper for IPC from Vitest iframe context
