Deferred Features (Post-Launch)
The following features are intentionally deferred and not critical for core functionality:
Historical data sync - Can be ported from old plugin later
Location: old/main.lua:1059-1356
Complexity: High (requires statistics.sqlite3 parsing)
Priority: Low
Network management on suspend - WiFi enable/wait logic
Location: old/main.lua:404-441
Complexity: Medium (device-specific APIs)
Priority: Medium
Custom file logging - Write to dedicated log file
Location: old/main.lua:46-89
Complexity: Low
Priority: Low
Force push/connect on suspend behaviors - UI exists but handlers not implemented
Complexity: Medium
Priority: Low
New Features Added (Not in Old Plugin)
Session detection mode - Choose between duration-based or pages-based validation
Minimum pages read - Additional validation option beyond just duration
Match history tracking - Database table for manual matching of historical data
Version button - Dedicated button in settings to display version info
Enhanced error handling - Better error messages and extraction in API client
SQLite database - More robust than LuaSettings with proper schema versioning
Database migrations - Schema versioning system for future updates
Formatted duration display - Human-readable duration format (e.g., "1h 5m 9s")
Auto-detect book type - Supports EPUB, PDF, DJVU, CBZ, CBR
Auto-sync on resume - Background sync when device wakes up from suspend
Auto-sync after session - Optionally sync immediately after session ends
Book ID resolution during sync - Resolves NULL book_id for offline sessions
Type-safe database operations - All cdata converted to proper Lua types
Atomic upsert operations - INSERT OR REPLACE for better data consistency
Retry tracking per session - Track failed sync attempts per session
