* Add "Keep Screen On" feature to PDF and Epub readers. * Add `rawLibraryFiles` to `MainViewModel` and improve file path resolution in `SharedComposables`. Specifically: - Updated `MainViewModel` state and UI logic to track and provide unfiltered library files. - Enhanced file path formatting in `SharedComposables` to better handle Document, Tree, and primary storage URIs. - Added scrollable support for long text values in `DetailItem` composable. - Passed `rawLibraryFiles` to `FolderSyncScreen` to ensure sync logic uses the base file list. * Update info bar background and text colors in EpubReaderScreen to match the selected theme. * Prevent accidental UI bar toggles immediately after scrolling in EPUB vertical mode. * feat: implement EPUB highlights sync and legacy migration - Implement Cloud and Local Folder sync for EPUB highlights. - Add highlight JSON serialization/deserialization helpers in EpubReaderAnnotations. - Implement automatic migration of highlights from SharedPreferences to the Database on book open. - Add cleanup logic to remove legacy SharedPreferences data after successful DB migration. - Update RecentFilesRepository to trigger local folder metadata sync when highlights are modified. - Update FolderSyncWorker to pull highlights and custom names from linked folder metadata. * Update intent filters |
