• Initial implementation: home sections, search with filters and sorting, title details, chapters.
• Chapter pages are read over HTTP without a WebView. The source derives the site's HMAC session key from /api/manga/key, signs each chapter request, and AES-256-CTR decrypts the page images in pure TypeScript.

2026-09-05 — @mana-app/types 0.0.25

• Migrated to the ChapterSource interface. getChapters/getChapterData moved off ContentSource in 0.0.25; the old declaration still compiled, so nothing flagged it.
• Dropped SearchSortStyle, removed from the types package. No source passed a sort style, so the rendered form is unchanged.
• Page fetches now go through getText, so a listing carrying malformed UTF-8 is recovered through a WebView instead of failing the request.

• **Search filters work again.** The genre filter was declared through getSearchFilters, which no longer exists in @mana-app/types — the app never saw it. It is now a getSearchForm tags section, and the selected genre is read through FilterReader rather than an as string cast that always yielded undefined.
• Chapter dates are parsed from the site's DD.MM.YYYY format via the shared parseDate instead of a local regex.
• The window.__DATA__ chapter payload is extracted with a balanced-brace scanner, so a nested object no longer truncates the chapter list.
• Removed config.disableTagNavigation, which was dropped from SourceConfig.
• Network client, image referer rules and parsing moved onto the shared toolkit.

2026-08-25 — Settings fix

• **Settings could fail to open.** Preference values were read with ObjectStore.string() regardless of their type, and that accessor throws when the stored value is not a string — one non-string value took down the whole preference form. Values are now stored natively and read with the accessor matching their type, with every read wrapped so a corrupt or legacy value falls back to its default instead of failing the form.
• Preference values are no longer double JSON-encoded. Values written by the previous version are still read correctly.
• The publisher allowlist is no longer blanked when the publisher list cannot be fetched — a selection is only reconciled against the option list when that list is non-empty, so an unreachable server no longer wipes the saved choice on the next edit.
• Preference element ids are the full store key again, matching the convention used before the refactor.
• A picker whose options cannot be loaded is no longer emitted with an empty options list, and a section left with no renderable fields is dropped rather than sent empty. When the publisher list is unreachable the settings screen now shows the server field plus a note explaining what is missing, instead of a control the app cannot present.

2026-08-25

• **Search filters work again** — type, publisher, character and year are now a getSearchForm list section, read through FilterReader.
• Preferences (API base URL, publisher allowlist) are built from a declarative spec and persisted through PreferenceStore. Existing settings are preserved: the store keeps the original kakarot-comics.* keys and falls back to reading a raw string when the stored value predates JSON encoding.
• The network client is built lazily on first use rather than in onEnvironmentLoaded, which the runtime does not await.

2026-08-13 — Initial implementation

• Browses a self-hosted comic-api catalogue: publishers, characters, series, and issues, with search, a publisher-allowlist preference, and page reading proxied through the server.

2026-09-05 — @mana-app/types 0.0.25

• Migrated to the ChapterSource interface. getChapters/getChapterData moved off ContentSource in 0.0.25; the old declaration still compiled, so nothing flagged it.
• Dropped SearchSortStyle, removed from the types package. No source passed a sort style, so the rendered form is unchanged.
• Card titles are cut at the U+FFFD the WebView substitutes even when the title comes from the title attribute, not just from the visible link text.

2026-08-25 — Listing pages load again

• **Sections failed with "String could not be serialized with encoding: Unicode (UTF-8)".** ocecomic.com truncates card titles and blurbs at a fixed byte count, cutting multi-byte characters in half, so listing pages ship bytes that are not valid UTF-8. Mana decodes response bodies natively before a source sees them, so the request rejected outright — five of eight "New Comics" pages sampled were affected. Pages the bridge cannot decode are now re-read through an auxiliary WebView, whose parser substitutes U+FFFD for the malformed bytes instead of failing.
• Card titles are read from the untruncated title attribute rather than the truncated link text, so results no longer end in "...".

2026-08-25

• **Search filters work again.** The genre filter never reached the app, and the filters[id] as string read would have returned undefined even if it had — browsing was pinned to "all" regardless of what the user picked.
• Removed Content.isNSFW, replaced by contentRating; a "Mature" genre now maps to ContentRating.MATURE.
• Removed config.disableTagNavigation.

2026-09-05 — @mana-app/types 0.0.25

• Dropped SearchSortStyle, removed from the types package. No source passed a sort style, so the rendered form is unchanged.
• Page fetches now go through getText, so a listing carrying malformed UTF-8 is recovered through a WebView instead of failing the request.

2026-08-25

• Dropped the empty filter list and the placeholder "Default" sort — the site exposes neither, and the source no longer advertises search-form or sort intents it cannot honour.
• Chapter dates are parsed from the chapter table instead of being hardcoded to the epoch.
• Removed Content.isNSFW and config.disableTagNavigation.

• Rewritten against the current @mana-app/types API and split into a per-source toolkit: parse.ts (page reading), source.ts (filters, sections, preferences, query strings) and client.ts (network client and Cloudflare detection), alongside model.ts and main.ts.
• Demonstrates getSearchForm, getSortOptions, getPreferenceMenu, home sections wired to their own "view more" listings, and a lazily built network client.
