Add cover image display in *Continue Reading* card with framebuffer caching (#200)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?** (e.g., Fixes a bug in the user
authentication module,

Display the book cover image in the **"Continue Reading"** card on the
home screen, with fast navigation using framebuffer caching.

* **What changes are included?**

- Display book cover image in the "Continue Reading" card on home screen
- Load cover from cached BMP (same as sleep screen cover)
- Add framebuffer store/restore functions (`copyStoredBwBuffer`,
`freeStoredBwBuffer`) for fast navigation after initial render
- Fix `drawBitmap` scaling bug: apply scale to offset only, not to base
coordinates
- Add white text boxes behind title/author/continue reading label for
readability on cover
- Support both EPUB and XTC file cover images
- Increase HomeActivity task stack size from 2048 to 4096 for cover
image rendering

## Additional Context

* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks, specific areas to
focus on).

- Performance: First render loads cover from SD card (~800ms),
subsequent navigation uses cached framebuffer (~instant)
- Memory: Framebuffer cache uses ~48KB (6 chunks × 8KB) while on home
screen, freed on exit
- Fallback: If cover image is not available, falls back to standard
text-only display
- The `drawBitmap` fix corrects a bug where screenY = (y + offset) scale
was incorrectly scaling the base coordinates. Now correctly uses screenY
= y + (offset scale)

Add chapter select support to XTC files (#145)
Some checks are pending
CI / build (push) Waiting to run
## 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.

Add XTC/XTCH ebook format support (#135)
## 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.
