## 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?**
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.

## Summary
* Use font ascender height for baseline offset
* Previously was using font height, but when rendering the font (even
from y = 0), there would be a lot of top margin
* Font would also go below the "bottom of the line" as we were using the
full font height as the baseline
## Additional Context
* This caused some text to move around, I've fixed everything I can
* Notably it moves the first line of font a little closer to the top of
the page
• What is the goal of this PR?
Implement a horizontal EPUB reading mode so books can be read in
landscape orientation (both 90° and 270°), while keeping the rest of the
UI in portrait.
• What changes are included?
◦ Rendering / Display
▪ Added an orientation model to GfxRenderer (Portrait, LandscapeNormal,
LandscapeFlipped) and made:
▪ drawPixel, drawImage, displayWindow map logical coordinates
differently depending on orientation.
▪ getScreenWidth() / getScreenHeight() return orientation‑aware logical
dimensions (480×800 in portrait, 800×480 in landscape).
◦ Settings / Configuration
▪ Extended CrossPointSettings with:
▪ landscapeReading (toggle for portrait vs. landscape EPUB reading).
▪ landscapeFlipped (toggle to flip landscape 180° so both horizontal
holding directions are supported).
▪ Updated settings serialization/deserialization to persist these fields
while remaining backward‑compatible with existing settings files.
▪ Updated SettingsActivity to expose two new toggles:
▪ “Landscape Reading”
▪ “Flip Landscape (swap top/bottom)”
◦ EPUB Reader
▪ In EpubReaderActivity:
▪ On onEnter, set GfxRenderer orientation based on the new settings
(Portrait, LandscapeNormal, or LandscapeFlipped).
▪ On onExit, reset orientation back to Portrait so Home, WiFi, Settings,
etc. continue to render as before.
▪ Adjusted renderStatusBar to position the status bar and battery
indicator relative to GfxRenderer::getScreenHeight() instead of
hard‑coded Y coordinates, so it stays correctly at the bottom in both
portrait and landscape.
◦ EPUB Caching / Layout
▪ Extended Section cache metadata (section.bin) to include the logical
screenWidth and screenHeight used when pages were generated; bumped
SECTION_FILE_VERSION.
▪ Updated loadCacheMetadata to compare:
▪ font/margins/line compression/extraParagraphSpacing and screen
dimensions; mismatches now invalidate and clear the cache.
▪ Updated persistPageDataToSD and all call sites in EpubReaderActivity
to pass the current GfxRenderer::getScreenWidth() / getScreenHeight() so
portrait and landscape caches are kept separate and correctly sized.
Additional Context
• Cache behavior / migration
◦ Existing section.bin files (old SECTION_FILE_VERSION) will be detected
as incompatible and their caches cleared and rebuilt once per chapter
when first opened after this change.
◦ Within a given orientation, caches will be reused as before. Switching
orientation (portrait ↔ landscape) will cause a one‑time re‑index of
each chapter in the new orientation.
• Scope and risks
◦ Orientation changes are scoped to the EPUB reader; the Home screen,
Settings, WiFi selection, sleep screens, and web server UI continue to
assume portrait orientation.
◦ The renderer’s orientation is a static/global setting; if future code
uses GfxRenderer outside the reader while a reader instance is active,
it should be aware that orientation is no longer implicitly fixed.
◦ All drawing primitives now go through orientation‑aware coordinate
transforms; any code that previously relied on edge‑case behavior or
out‑of‑bounds writes might surface as logged “Outside range” warnings
instead.
• Testing suggestions / areas to focus on
◦ Verify in hardware:
▪ Portrait mode still renders correctly (boot, home, settings, WiFi,
reader).
▪ Landscape reading in both directions:
▪ Landscape Reading = ON, Flip Landscape = OFF.
▪ Landscape Reading = ON, Flip Landscape = ON.
▪ Status bar (page X/Y, % progress, battery icon) is fully visible and
aligned at the bottom in all three combinations.
◦ Open the same book:
▪ In portrait first, then switch to landscape and reopen it.
▪ Confirm that:
▪ Old portrait caches are rebuilt once for landscape (you should see the
“Indexing…” page).
▪ Progress save/restore still works (resume opens to the correct page in
the current orientation).
◦ Ensure grayscale rendering (the secondary pass in
EpubReaderActivity::renderContents) still looks correct in both
orientations.

## Summary
In using my build of
https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/pull/130 I realized that
we need a "open" button hint above the second button in the File browser
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks, specific areas to
focus on).
## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Add a "Continue Reading" feature to improve user experience when
returning to a previously opened book.
* **What changes are included?**
- Add dynamic "Continue: <book name>" menu item in Home screen when a
book was previously opened
- File browser now starts from the folder of the last opened book
instead of always starting from root directory
- Menu dynamically shows 3 or 4 items based on reading history:
- Without history: `Browse`, `File transfer`, `Settings`
- With history: `Continue: <book>`, `Browse`, `File transfer`,
`Settings`
## Additional Context
* This feature leverages the existing `APP_STATE.openEpubPath` which
already persists the last opened book path
* The Continue Reading menu only appears if the book file still exists
on the SD card
* Book name in the menu is truncated to 25 characters with "..." suffix
if too long
* If the last book's folder was deleted, the file browser gracefully
falls back to root directory
* No new dependencies or significant memory overhead - reuses existing
state management
## Summary
This creates a `renderer.drawButtonHints` to make all of the "hints"
over buttons to match the home screen.
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks, specific areas to
focus on).

## Summary
* Give activities name and log when entering and exiting them
* Clearer logs when attempting to debug, knowing where users are coming
from/going to helps
## Summary
* Paginate book list
* Avoid out of bounds rendering of long book titles, truncate with
ellipsis instead
## Additional Context
* Should partially help with
https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/issues/75 as it was
previously rendering a lot of content off screen, will need to test with
a large directory
## Summary
* This PR drastically reshapes the structure of the codebase, moving
from the concept of "Screens" to "Activities", restructing the files and
setting up the concept of subactivities.
* This should help with keep the main file clean and containing all
functional logic in the relevant activity.
* CrossPointState is now also a global singleton which should help with
accessing it from within activities.
## Additional Context
* This is probably going to be a bit disruptive for people with open
PRs, sorry 😞
