Conversation
… between lines and paragraphs Every engine pads each rendered line with its own lead-in and tail silence (GPT-SoVITS measured at ~70 ms / ~300 ms). Audiobook and Stories joined those raw with a 50 ms crossfade, so a book of short lines read as a string of separate takes with a hole at every boundary. The renderer now trims that padding at every chunk edge (-40 dBFS, 40 ms kept) and inserts silence on purpose instead: line_gap_ms (250) between consecutive lines that carry no [pause] of their own, paragraph_gap_ms (600) at a blank line inside one line of script. An explicit [pause] replaces the line gap rather than adding to it. All three knobs are bounded request fields, ride through ExpressiveOptions (cache signature + resume manifest, so a changed gap re-renders and a worker render honours it) and are exposed in both apps' Production overrides. Zero gaps + trim off reproduce the pre-existing bytes and cache keys.
Every Stories line is an independent generation, so the old one-preset splitter (sentence-aware, 180/500 chars) turned a single-narrator storybook into a string of separate takes. Paste & Split now offers three presets in both apps: Sentences (the existing splitter, with the max-chars input), Paragraphs (one line per blank-line paragraph, falling back to single newlines; the new default) and Chapters (one line per chapter body, split only at '# ' headings, paragraph breaks preserved for the renderer). A '# ' heading is always its own line so it still renders as a chapter marker. The web editor's private copy of splitIntoChunks is gone; both editors use the shared frontend/src/utils/splitStoryText helper.
…ore normaliser normalizeLongformOverrides rebuilt the overrides object field by field, so lineGapMs / paragraphGapMs / trimEdges were dropped on every rehydrate (and the literal no longer satisfied LongformOverrides — the typecheck failure). Carry them with the same type guards as the other knobs; migration test covers 0 / false surviving and a mistyped value falling back to null.
… stay byte-identical, bounded join silence - Gaps follow LINES, not spans: inline markup ([slow], [emphasis], [spell]) splits one line into several spans. Both parser ports now mark those spans 'continues' (key present only when true, so plain plans, manifests and cache keys are byte-identical) and the join never gaps after one. Carried through LongformSpan, Span.to_dict, the chapter cache tuple and the worker rows. Golden corpus: one existing case gains the key, one dedicated case added. - With paragraph_gap_ms=0 a span is ONE engine call again, so 0/0/false truly reproduces the pre-existing bytes under the pre-existing cache key. - The join stage may add at most 15 min of silence per chapter (gaps shorten past that); paragraph_gap_ms bound tightened to 5 s. - The shared help string describes both gaps: key renamed joins_help.
…endings, Electron's 500-char default - Chapter boundaries now use the renderer's own isChapterLine (a non-empty H1), so '## Scene' or a bare '#' stays body text instead of becoming a track that is narrated rather than rendered as a chapter marker. - LF, CRLF and lone CR all separate lines and paragraphs. - Electron's Sentences preset keeps its established 500-char ceiling.
'continues' was set on every non-final markup segment, so a paragraph break that happened to sit between two segments (or inside a dropped whitespace-only one) was swallowed and the join got no gap at all. Both parser ports now track the whitespace between kept segments and only mark a continuation when it holds no blank line. A single newline stays a continuation, matching plain text, where a single newline never ends a span either. Three golden cases.
…and line-ending handling
The boolean 'continues' could only say 'no gap'; a paragraph break that sat on an inline-markup split fell back to the line gap. The span key is now 'join': 'continue' (sentence runs on, no gap) or 'paragraph' (blank line on the split: paragraph gap, or the line gap when none is set). Still emitted only where markup split a run, so plain plans, manifests and cache keys stay byte-identical. Both parser ports, the request model (validated Literal), the chapter cache tuple, worker rows and the golden corpus follow.
…ccurate joins help - chapter_cache_key dropped the tuple's 5th element, so plans differing only in join (continue / paragraph / none) shared a cached chapter. It now counts when present; a plan without one hashes exactly as before (test). - joins_help in all 21 locales x 2 apps: says which gap goes where and that edge trimming applies only when the switch is on. - Docs: a [voice:] change is a line boundary (line gap), by design.
YouTube's automatic captions roll: every cue repeats the line before it, and each cue starts exactly where the previous one ended. The repeat trim only ran for cues that overlapped their predecessor, so seeding a Dub job from such a track spoke every line two or three times. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
WebVTT escapes & < and > in cue text, so a caption track saves "Q&A" as "Q&A" and a ">>" speaker change as ">>". Neither the downloaded caption track nor a pasted .vtt translation decoded them, so the dub editor showed the escapes and sent them to the voice as text.

The start and end fields show tenths of a second and commit on blur. An untouched field still held that rounded text, so tabbing through or clicking out of it moved a transcribed 3.27 s edge to 3.3 s and ran the resize path, which also rewrites the segment's speed.

parseSrt dropped every digits-only line as a cue index, including the
dialogue after the timestamp, so a countdown ("3", "2", "1") or an
answer like "1984" vanished from the imported script. Only the digits
right before a timestamp are the index.

Rolling tracks restate the entire previous line, so that is all a cue
that merely touches its predecessor needs to lose. A single word that
recurs across a boundary ("we should go" / "go home") stays; the
partial trim for overlapping cues is unchanged.

…value Comparing the field with its display could not tell an untouched field from one where the shown time was typed on purpose, so retyping 0:03.3 to snap a 3.27 s edge did nothing. Track whether the field was edited since it was focused instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
In a compact .srt without blank lines, a cue whose only dialogue is a number can sit right before the next timestamp when that cue has no index. A cue needs text, so digits directly under a timestamp are its dialogue. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…sequence Inside a block without blank lines, digits right before a timestamp are only its index when they are the number the cue sequence expects next, as the backend parser decides. A cue that ends in a number and is followed by an unnumbered cue keeps that number. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
WebVTT cue text must escape & < and >. A raw < opens a tag, so a player
drops the rest of the cue ("I <3 you" shows as "I "), and a line with
--> reads as a timing line. The /dub/vtt download and the OpenAI-compatible
vtt transcription wrote segment text verbatim. The dual layout's <i> stays
markup; SRT has no escaping and is unchanged.

…ping Escaping on export is only safe once import decodes the references, so this branch now builds on #2223. A pasted .vtt with &, < and > exports those exact references again, not &amp;. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Escaping every & < > turned imported cue markup (<i>, <c.yellow>, <v Roger>, SubRip's <font>) into literal text and made an undecoded & export as &amp;. Escape just a < that opens no tag and the --> that would end the cue; a bare & already displays as itself. This no longer depends on #2223's import decoding, so the branch is back on main.

A raw & is not valid WebVTT cue text. Write it as & unless it already starts a character reference, so an undecoded & is not escaped twice. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ain + split presets)
…essional read Full-chapter listen test (1,564 words, GPT-SoVITS fine-tune) against the same chapter read professionally: the trim keeps each paragraph's natural decay, so the heard break is gap + ~0.3-0.4 s. At 600 ms that put 26 breaks over one second (reference: 2); 300-400 ms matched the reference's pause spread.

When Electron leaves the displayed join controls untouched, it omits these fields, but these defaults apply zero gaps and disable edge trimming. Users therefore get hard joins instead of the 250 ms line gap, 350 ms paragraph gap, and trimming shown by the UI; restore those backend defaults or always send the displayed values.

Fixed on original PR #2216 in 78b7507, integrated in 837885f. Untouched/reset controls now display the preserved API defaults: zero gaps and trimming off. Explicitly selected seamless gaps/trimming still reach both preview and full renders. This keeps existing requests/cache behavior unchanged instead of silently changing old projects. Both Electron and web UI regressions fail before and pass after; 24 targeted tests and Electron TypeScript pass. Millisecond displays now use locale-aware Intl units in both clients.

All ten inline CodeRabbit findings were addressed on the original PR branches and integrated in a2531d0. The outside-diff dots.tts docs command also now uses the repaired constraints file (a33e647 on #2243). 327 affected backend tests pass together after integration; current-head full CI remains the merge gate. |

In `@docs/engines/dots-tts.md`:
- Around line 121-122: Update the constraints documentation near
compatible_constraints to state that lazy bootstrap uses
.voicestudio-compatible.txt only when compatibility repairs are needed; when the
original constraints already contain custom or newer pins, it returns and uses
the original constraints file instead.
In `@electron/src/renderer/src/features/projects/render-details.tsx`:
- Line 85: Update the option-label filtering in the render-details flow to use
Object.hasOwn(OPTION_LABELS, key) instead of the in operator, ensuring inherited
names such as toString and constructor are excluded before translation. Add
regression coverage for both inherited keys.
In `@electron/src/renderer/src/i18n/locales/id.json`:
- Around line 1643-1645: Remove the duplicate audiobook keys line_gap,
paragraph_gap, and trim_edges from
electron/src/renderer/src/i18n/locales/id.json lines 1643-1645 and
electron/src/renderer/src/i18n/locales/th.json lines 1643-1645, keeping each

Testing
Checklist
Release cadence
Merge with a merge commit so included PR heads remain ancestors. Watch main CI, security and Docker publishing after merge. Do not release from this PR: native dots.tts installation/audio validation and other open issues remain outstanding.
Adds long-form audio join controls, story splitting, caption and EPUB fidelity, engine installation fixes, render summaries, and localized UI. The changes preserve legacy defaults while improving rendering, imports/exports, media-tool recovery, and engine compatibility. Full current-head CI and platform/security checks remain required, with review focused on audio joins, installer rollback, and WebVTT handling.
