The KOReader plugin sends md5(password) as x-auth-key, which can never match the bcrypt hash of the
plaintext password. The auth guard ran a cost-12 bcrypt compare first, so every authenticated
request spent about 250 ms of CPU and stalled other traffic before the md5 fallback accepted it.
Check md5 first and keep bcrypt as the fallback for clients that send the plaintext password, so the
accepted credentials are unchanged. A plugin auth call drops from about 285 ms to 8 ms.
Bump the KOReader plugin to 2.2.0. The plugin changed after the 2.1.0 release shipped in v3.6.0
(series sorting, series selection, file browser exit, paged Shelves list) without a version bump.
Also fix three metadata-fetch tests that were failing on main since cfcd4ca52 kept single-digit
tokens in tokenizeTitleText. A volume digit in the query diluted the word overlap in scoreTitleMatch,
so an ebook candidate fell under the relevance floor and a manga outranked it. scoreTitleMatch now
drops lone digits again; symmetricTitleSimilarity keeps them to tell volumes apart.
Also align the pnpm version installed in both Dockerfiles with the packageManager field. Since
f2a7a1118 the images installed pnpm 11.22.0 while package.json pinned 11.28.9, so pnpm tried to
switch itself and failed the arm64 image build with a missing @pnpm/exe lockfile entry.
Closes#1983
Ref #2037
Rebuild the app and read-aloud worker images on Node 26.12.1, which fixes
CVE-2026-111497 in the bundled Brotli decoder and the other October 2026
Node security issues. The app image stays on Alpine 3.23, pinned by digest.
Closes#1912
Generate a synced read-aloud EPUB from a book's EPUB and audiobook through an
optional STAlign worker (Docker on CPU, or native with MLX on Apple Silicon),
with review, re-sync, replace in place, restart recovery and live progress on
the Files tab. Book details also stack the ebook and audiobook covers when
both exist. See docs/READ_ALOUD.md.
