Huang Xin d0071a6bcb fix(sync,reader): discard malformed sync CFIs; fix swipe background flash (#4370)
sync: empty-start/end range CFIs left by the cfi-inert skip-link bug (e.g.
epubcfi(/6/24!/4,,/20/1:58)) resolve to a section-spanning range and navigate
to the wrong end of the section. Add isMalformedLocationCfi and discard such
locations on the cloud-sync receive path (useProgressSync) and the kosync push
path (useKOSync) so they can't move the reader or propagate to other devices.
foliate 569cc06 stops generating them but does not repair already-synced values.

reader: bump foliate-js to 167757a to fix the white<->black background flash
when swiping between differently-colored pages; add a regression test for the
sliding per-view background segments.

Synced progress CFIs of the form `epubcfi(/6/24!/4,,/20/1:58)` (a range with an
**empty start** component — the `,,`) are invalid: the start collapses to the
section beginning `(body, 0)` while the end reaches the section's last block, so
a receiving device navigates to the **wrong end** of the section.
**Root cause** — the cfi-inert a11y skip-link (`a11y.ts` prepends a 1×1
`position:absolute` `<div cfi-inert>` as body's first child). There was a
~2.5-month transitional window (foliate `c558766` 2026-03-11 → `569cc06`
2026-05-30) where `epubcfi.js getChildNodes` already skipped `cfi-inert` but
`paginator.js getVisibleRange` did **not** yet reject it. The relocate range's
START could anchor on the skip-link; `fromRange``nodeToParts` asks for its
index, `getChildNodes` filters it out, `findIndex` returns -1, the
`.filter(x => x.index !== -1)` drops the step, and the start collapses to the
body boundary → empty start. (Symmetric empty-END form from the next-section
skip-link on a section's last page.)
**Generation is fixed** by `569cc06` (live on `dev` via `c23c21d37`) — but that
does NOT repair CFIs already stored on the sync server. Those keep being served.
**Fix (this work):** `isMalformedLocationCfi(cfi)` predicate in `src/utils/cfi.ts`
— true for a degenerate range (empty `parts.start` or `parts.end` via
`CFI.parse`). Chose **discard over repair** (user call): don't derive a position
from a corrupt CFI; drop it and let a known-good fallback win.
- Applied ONLY at `useProgressSync.ts` `applyRemoteProgress`: a malformed
`syncedConfig.location` is set to `undefined` so it can't drive goTo, can't win
the `CFI.compare` gate, and is filtered out of the persisted config (local
location kept; stops re-propagation). A valid `xpointer` still recovers the
real position via `getCFIFromXPointer`.
- Applied at `useKOSync.ts` `generateKOProgress` (push side): if local
`progress.location` is malformed, skip the CFI→XPointer conversion and reuse
the last known-good `config.xpointer`. Critical because once a bad CFI is
pushed as an XPointer the "malformed" signal is lost — other devices pull a
plain XPointer pointing at the wrong section end and can't discard it. The
kosync RECEIVE path needs no guard: `getCFIFromXPointer` builds point CFIs from
point XPointers, which can't take the empty-start form.
- Deliberately NOT applied to `FoliateViewer.tsx` open path — that uses the
user's OWN local `config.location`; discarding it would dump them at book start
(`goToFraction(0)`). Left untouched per user preference; a legacy local bad
value self-heals on the next page-turn save.
Tests: predicate in `__tests__/utils/cfi.test.ts`; repro + flag in
`__tests__/utils/epubcfi-inert.test.ts`; discard behavior (no goTo, not
persisted) in `__tests__/hooks/useProgressSync.test.tsx`.
