2026-10-08 — uniform Chinese Part ordinals and full-book mode

Preserve semantic credits, index, bibliography and note layouts instead of forcing body indentation.
Stop on provider credential/quota failures (HTTP 401/402/403), cancel queued requests and checkpoint completed translations for resumption.
Reset publisher digit-only enlargement and color on translated Part numbers so “第四部” displays uniformly.
Add --complete-book to include notes, bibliography, index, copyright and non-spine text documents.
Add explicit configuration/credential file options and a Zenmux Sonnet 5.5 configuration without credentials.
Checkpoint whole-book terminology scans and record conflicting model proposals while retaining established translations.
Bind number-only Part headings such as House of Huawei's “Part I” and normalize “第一部分” to “第一部”.
Keep different entities with shared short aliases (Sun, Fuji, Noda) separate and persistently exclude ambiguous aliases from automatic terminology constraints.
Match single Latin named tokens with case sensitivity (WHO/who, Jobs/jobs, Arm/arm) and version translation fingerprints when matching policy changes.
Restrict automatic single-name aliases to evidenced nicknames and acronyms; exclude month names and nationality words, and cache compiled alias patterns for whole-book validation.
Filter ordinary-word aliases and implicit surname collisions in automatic glossaries; do not force context-dependent single-word senses. Explicit user glossary constraints remain authoritative.

Keep parent Part links directly under NAV list items so Calibre resolves their destinations.
Repair generated wrappers in older preprocessing caches without retranslating.
Add Calibre TOC integration checks for Chinese and bilingual output.

Indent Chinese body paragraphs by two em, including chapter openings and converted div prose; preserve heading/caption/note layouts.
Bind NAV, NCX and visible contents links to shared chapter/part translations while preserving anchors, hierarchy and resource paths.
Recognize adjacent number/title/subtitle blocks and normalize Chinese chapter/part numbers without merging their markup.
Include heading context in translation cache fingerprints and update old manifest contexts during reconciliation.
Add navigation regression tests and record the scanned PDF/OCR to EPUB roadmap.

2026-10-08 — translation and QA improvements

Replace regex tag extraction with balanced DOM placeholders and protect literal φ.
Fail closed on invalid translations; selectively retry and checkpoint validated chunks.
Add persisted whole-book terminology, alias exclusions, conflict reports and resume fingerprints.
Repair malformed HTML and extract disjoint mixed/list/table units with stable anchors.
Preserve the original EPUB package, stylesheet links, navigation and resources.
Add structural audits, Calibre visual evidence and offline agent-manifest QA scripts.

Typography V3 (Safe Mode): Implemented conservative CSS fixes for Drop Caps.
- Resolves overlap between Drop Caps and Chinese text using clear: both.
- Fixes "Double Indentation" on Drop Cap paragraphs.
- Preserves original alignment (e.g. centered titles) by relaxing aggressive resets.
- Intelligent no-indent class assignment based on specific keywords (drop, no-indent).

Endnote Extraction: Fixed a critical bug where citations like [28] caused Integrity Check failures.
- Extraction Logic: Regex updated to treat [N] patterns as structural elements, preserving links.
- Integrity Check: Added "Placeholder Hydration" to correctly validate content when placeholders encapsulate visible text.
- Result: Prevents fallback to plain text, ensuring links and italics are preserved in complex paragraphs.
