EPUB imports, media exports and error reports could fail or lose useful information on otherwise supported installations. This maintenance batch preserves the contributor fixes and their review corrections:

Current main is merged into every source branch. This PR includes their merge commits in the order above, so landing it also absorbs #2192, #2197 and #2194 without losing contributor history. Review findings were corrected on the source branches before combining. Documentation and changelog credits are included.

Validation: 119 offline backend/changelog tests, 9 shared report-builder tests, 26 Electron generation tests, and both Electron TypeScript checks pass on the combined tree. Full combined CI and post-merge main checks remain required. No physical Ascend hardware or live model generation was used.

Review disposition: the changelog entries stay under ### Fixed, which CLAUDE.md explicitly permits beneath a short Highlights list. The request to move every entry into Highlights conflicts with that governing rule; the deterministic changelog tests pass.

Every EPUB chapter document was decoded as raw.decode("utf-8", "ignore").
UTF-8 is only the default for an XML document: a BOM or an encoding= /
charset= declaration overrides it, and EPUB 2 books -- including Calibre
conversions of older HTML -- routinely declare ISO-8859-1, Windows-1252 or
a CJK code page. errors="ignore" then silently DELETED every byte those
documents spell their accents, dashes and curly quotes with, so
"Le cafe etait ferme." imported, and was narrated, as "Le caf tait ferm.".
A UTF-16 document degraded further, into NUL-interleaved markup.

_decode_epub_entry now reads a BOM first (it outranks any declaration),
then the declared encoding when Python knows it, and otherwise falls back
to services.text_upload.decode_text_upload -- the same BOM -> UTF-8 ->
Windows-1252 ladder the .txt/.md branch of /audiobook/import already uses,
so both front doors onto the same pipeline agree. Nothing can raise: an
unknown or wrong declaration still imports, the way an undeclared file
does.

Full details: Cross-Platform Default Parity

Explanation

The default EPUB path now passes declared names directly to raw.decode(declared, errors="replace") at backend/services/longform_import.py:92. This accepts platform-specific codecs such as mbcs and oem: Windows decodes them with its system code page, while macOS and Linux reject them and fall back to decode_text_upload, so the same EPUB can produce different text. Use a fixed allowlist of portable codecs, or reject platform-specific declarations and use the explicit fallback; add regression coverage for these declarations.

Resolution

Restrict declared encodings to codecs with identical behavior on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Treat mbcs, oem, and any other platform-specific or locale-dependent codec as unsupported, then use the existing deterministic fallback. Add tests that verify unsupported declarations preserve the fallback behavior.

The PR appears safe to merge with no outstanding merge-changing defects identified.

Summary

The PR updates EPUB chapter decoding to honor BOMs and declared encodings, extends shared text decoding for UTF-32, and incorporates current main-branch fixes for bundled FFmpeg resolution, NPU memory detection, and bug-report diagnostics.

  • EPUB entries use BOM, wide-character prefix, declaration, and shared fallback decoding.
  • Text uploads recognize UTF-32 BOMs before overlapping UTF-16 BOMs.
  • Added regression coverage for legacy, malformed, and wide-character encodings.
  • Merged maintenance changes remain consistent with their existing contracts.

Two call sites still reached for the bare name `ffmpeg` instead of
services.ffmpeg_utils.find_ffmpeg(), which every other call site uses. The
bare name only resolves a system install: imageio-ffmpeg -- the app's
default source, and a locked dependency -- ships its binary as
`ffmpeg-<platform>-v<version>`, and ensure_media_tools_on_path() publishes
that directory on PATH without giving the file an `ffmpeg` name. So on a
host with no separate system ffmpeg, which is most installs:

- /export dropped the visible video watermark. is_visible_video_enabled()
  defaults to ON, the spawn raised FileNotFoundError, and the except arm
  quietly plain-copied the file -- the user asked for a watermarked export
  and got an unmarked one with no error anywhere.
- video_context._extract_keyframes gated on shutil.which("ffmpeg") and
  logged "ffmpeg not found, skipping frame extraction", so the dubbing
  director's visual context was empty while the app's own ffmpeg sat on
  disk, resolvable. Same shape as debpalash#1256.

The export also no longer spawns anything when nothing resolves: it goes
straight to the plain copy instead of failing a subprocess to get there.

Two Greptile P1s on this PR, both real:

- A UTF-32 LE byte-order mark starts with the UTF-16 LE one, so the BOM
  table matched UTF-16 first, stripped two bytes and read the file as
  NUL-interleaved UTF-16; a UTF-32 BE mark matched nothing and fell through
  to Windows-1252. The table lives in services.text_upload and is shared, so
  /dub/import-srt and the .txt/.md branch of /audiobook/import carried the
  same corruption -- it is fixed once, longest mark first, and both front
  doors and the EPUB path inherit it.
- A declaration such as encoding="hex_codec" passes codecs.lookup but
  bytes.decode refuses it with LookupError, which would have failed the
  whole EPUB import. The codecs.lookup pre-check is gone: the decode itself
  decides, and an encoding that cannot produce text now guesses like an
  undeclared document does.

text_upload gains bom_encoding() so the EPUB path asks the one table rather
than keeping a second copy of it.

Both Greptile P1s were real and are fixed in 28ef19d.

UTF-32 BOMs — the table lives in services/text_upload.py and is shared, so /dub/import-srt and the .txt/.md branch of /audiobook/import carried the same corruption. Fixed once, longest mark first, and all three paths inherit it. tests/test_text_upload_encoding.py now parametrises utf-32-le-bom / utf-32-be-bom alongside the existing encodings (4 new fail-before cases), plus an EPUB case.

Non-text codec — confirmed: codecs.lookup("hex_codec") resolves, b"...".decode("hex_codec") raises LookupError: 'hex_codec' is not a text encoding, and it was uncaught. The codecs.lookup pre-check is gone entirely — the decode itself decides, and an encoding that cannot produce text falls back the way an undeclared document does. Parametrised over x-not-a-real-charset and hex_codec.

Fail-before on the six new cases, then 289 passed across test_longform_import, test_text_upload_encoding, test_longform_{e2e,parser,limits,render,jobs,resume}, test_srt_parser and test_dub_parse_subtitle_text.

Heads-up on the CHANGELOG: ## [Unreleased] is empty on main, so this PR and my #2190 / #2192 each recreate the Highlights + Fixed scaffold. Whichever lands first, I'll re-file the other two onto its block — just say the word (or drop my two lines and I'll follow up).

CodeRabbit finding. UTF-16 without a mark is out of spec (XML 1.0 §4.3.3
requires one), but real EPUBs carry it -- and in such a document the
declaration is unreadable, because the ASCII byte patterns never match
NUL-interleaved bytes. The entry fell through to the UTF-8/Windows-1252
guess and narrated the markup.

XML 1.0 Appendix F reads the opening "<" instead: its byte pattern names
the width and byte order. Widest first, since "<\0\0\0" also starts "<\0".

CodeRabbit's BOM-less UTF-16 finding is valid and is fixed in 6398f01.

UTF-16 without a mark is out of spec (XML 1.0 §4.3.3 requires one), but real EPUBs carry it — and in such a document the declaration is unreadable anyway, because the ASCII byte patterns never match NUL-interleaved bytes, so the entry fell through to the UTF-8/Windows-1252 guess and narrated the markup. XML 1.0 Appendix F reads the opening < instead: its byte pattern names the width and byte order. Widest first, since <\0\0\0 also starts <\0, so UTF-32 can't be misread as UTF-16.

Parametrised over utf-16-le/be and utf-32-le/be, each asserting the fixture really has no mark. 4 fail-before cases; 293 passed across the longform, text-upload and subtitle-parser suites.

Decoder order is now: byte-order mark → no-mark width sniff → declared encoding → guess (UTF-8, else Windows-1252).

Add NPU (Ascend) to free_vram() so its cache is properly freed, and to
_has_dedicated_vram() so offloading decisions correctly consider NPU
as a dedicated-VRAM device.

Follows the existing hasattr(torch, 'xpu') pattern already used in
device_caps.py and system.py. The project's device_caps.py already
detects NPU — this extends the cache-management path to match.
debpalash#1800 added the backend exception class to auto-filed reports because
every unclassified engine failure renders one fixed floor message, so a
dozen unrelated faults were arriving as byte-identical, untriageable
issues. The class name is the only thing separating them.

The Electron app does not have it. The two apps file through different
builders — Tauri through `bugReport.js::openBugReport`, Electron through
the shared `bugReportDocument.js::composeBugReportUrl` — and each builds
its own `## Error` section. Only the Tauri one carries the class, so the
fix was lost in the app that ships as of v0.5.4. Issue debpalash#2177 is what a
report looks like WITH the line (v0.5.3, Tauri); the same failure from
Electron carries the message and a stack of minified bundle frames and
nothing more.

The shared builder now emits it, read from `error.errorClass` and then
from a parsed 500 body — the Electron client keeps that on `payload`
rather than lifting the field onto the error. Non-string values are
ignored rather than stringified, and the class is scrubbed like every
other reported field.

Electron's streaming path dropped it a second time: its
`StreamingPreviewError` had no way to carry the class, so
`error_class` on a stream error frame died at the boundary even though
the frontend twin has always forwarded it. It now carries it, which also
gives `error-boundary.tsx` the `.errorClass` it already reads before
falling back to a heuristic.

Eleven tests, five of them failing before this commit. The rest pin the
surrounding contract: the section still renders, the message is still
scrubbed and truncated, the title is still seeded, and a report with no
error at all still builds.

Cover non-UTF-8 preservation in the LookupError fallback cases. The ASCII body lets x-not-a-real-charset and hex_codec pass through the pre-change decode_text_upload path without proving Windows-1252 preservation; idna is different because its UnicodeError is the case that fails before this change. Add the raw byte b"\x97" and assert for each parameter, using the shared UTF-8-then-Windows-1252 fallback.
