## Summary
Extracted some changes from
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/500 to make
reviewing easier
This PR adds HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) for display and GPIO
components, making it easier to write a stub or an emulated
implementation of the hardware.
SD card HAL will be added via another PR, because it's a bit more
tricky.

For the Files screen, I have not made any changes on purpose. For the
Recents screen, we now display the Book title and author. If it is a
file with no epub metadata like txt or md, we display the file name
without the file extension.

# Summary
This PR introduces a reusable Tab Bar component and combines the Recent
Books and File Browser into a unified tabbed page called "My Library"
accessible from the Home screen.
## Features
### New Tab Bar Component
A flexible, reusable tab bar component added to `ScreenComponents` that
can be used throughout the application.
### New Scroll Indicator Component
A page position indicator for lists that span multiple pages.
**Features:**
- Up/down arrow indicators
- Current page fraction display (e.g., "1/3")
- Only renders when content spans multiple pages
### My Library Activity
A new unified view combining Recent Books and File Browser into a single
tabbed page.
**Tabs:**
- **Recent** - Shows recently opened books
- **Files** - Browse SD card directory structure
**Navigation:**
- Up/Down or Left/Right: Navigate through list items
- Left/Right (when first item selected): Switch between tabs
- Confirm: Open selected book or enter directory
- Back: Go up directory (Files tab) or return home
- Long press Back: Jump to root directory (Files tab)
**UI Elements:**
- Tab bar with selection indicator
- Scroll/page indicator on right side
- Side button hints (up/down arrows)
- Dynamic bottom button labels ("BACK" in subdirectories, "HOME" at
root)
## Tab Bar Usage
The tab bar component is designed to be reusable across different
activities. Here's how to use it:
### Basic Example
```cpp
#include "ScreenComponents.h"
void MyActivity::render() const {
renderer.clearScreen();
// Define tabs with labels and selection state
std::vector<TabInfo> tabs = {
{"Tab One", currentTab == 0}, // Selected when currentTab is 0
{"Tab Two", currentTab == 1}, // Selected when currentTab is 1
{"Tab Three", currentTab == 2} // Selected when currentTab is 2
};
// Draw tab bar at Y position 15, returns height of the tab bar
int tabBarHeight = ScreenComponents::drawTabBar(renderer, 15, tabs);
// Position your content below the tab bar
int contentStartY = 15 + tabBarHeight + 10; // Add some padding
// Draw content based on selected tab
if (currentTab == 0) {
renderTabOneContent(contentStartY);
} else if (currentTab == 1) {
renderTabTwoContent(contentStartY);
} else {
renderTabThreeContent(contentStartY);
}
renderer.displayBuffer();
}
```

## Summary
* This builds upon the helpful PR
https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/341, and
adds support for the setting to also apply to the XTC reader, which I
believed has just been missed and was not intentionally left out.
* XTC does not have chapter support yet, but it does skip 10 pages when
long-pressed, and so I think this is useful.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
* This PR adds a setting to (additionally) map the forward page turn
onto the powerbutton when in `EPUBReaderActivity` and powerbutton short
press is not mapped to sleep mode. I find the powerbutton to be exactly
where my thumb is while reading so it is very convenient to map the
forwardpage turn to that. Maybe Im not alone with this ^^
* **What changes are included?**
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks, specific areas to
focus on).

authentication module, Implements the new feature for
file uploading.)

## Summary
* Update EpdFontFamily::Style to be u8 instead of u32 (saving 3 bytes
per word)
* Update layout width/height to be u16 from int
* Update page element count to be u16 from u32
* Update text block element count to be u16 from u32
* Bumped section bin version to version 8
## Summary
* Swap to updated SDCardManager which uses SdFat
* Add exFAT support
* Swap to using FsFile everywhere
* Use newly exposed `SdMan` macro to get to static instance of
SDCardManager
* Move a bunch of FsHelpers up to SDCardManager
## Summary
- **What is the goal of this PR?** Add chapter selection support to the
XTC reader activity, including parsing chapter metadata from XTC files.
- **What changes are included?** Implemented XTC chapter parsing and
exposure in the XTC library, added a chapter selection activity for XTC,
integrated it into XtcReaderActivity, and normalized chapter page
indices by shifting them to 0-based.
## Additional Context
- The reader uses 0-based page indexing (first page = 0), but the XTC
chapter table appears to be 1-based (first page = 1), so chapter
start/end pages are shifted down by 1 during parsing.
## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
Adds a setting to swap the front buttons. The default functionality are:
Back/Confirm/Left/Right. When this setting is enabled they become:
Left/Right/Back/Confirm. This makes it more comfortable to use when
holding in your right hand since your thumb can more easily rest on the
next button. The original firmware has a similar setting.
**What changes are included?**
- Add the new setting.
- Create a mapper to dynamically switch the buttons based on the
setting.
- Use mapper on the various activity screens.
- Update the button hints to reflect the swapped buttons.
## Additional Context
Full disclosure: I used Codex CLI to put this PR together, but did
review it to make sure it makes sense.
Also tested on my device:

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Add support for XTC (XTeink X4 native) ebook format, which contains
pre-rendered 480x800 1-bit bitmap pages optimized for e-ink displays.
* **What changes are included?**
- New `lib/Xtc/` library with XtcParser for reading XTC files
- XtcReaderActivity for displaying XTC pages on e-ink display
- XTC file detection in FileSelectionActivity
- Cover BMP generation from first XTC page
- Correct XTG page header structure (22 bytes) and bit polarity handling
## Additional Context
- XTC files contain pre-rendered bitmap pages with embedded status bar
(page numbers, progress %)
- XTG page header: 22 bytes (magic + dimensions + reserved fields +
bitmap size)
- Bit polarity: 0 = black, 1 = white
- No runtime text rendering needed - pages display directly on e-ink
- Faster page display compared to EPUB since no parsing/rendering
required
- Memory efficient: loads one page at a time (48KB per page)
- Tested with XTC files generated from https://x4converter.rho.sh/
- Verified correct page alignment and color rendering
- Please report any issues if you test with XTC files from other
sources.
