Dave Allie 689b539c6b Stream CrossPointWebServer data over JSON APIs (#97)
## Summary

* HTML files are now static, streamed directly to the client without
modification
* For any dynamic values, load via JSON APIs
* For files page, we stream the JSON content as we scan the directory to
avoid holding onto too much data

## Additional details

* We were previously building up a very large string all generated on
the X4 directly, we should be leveraging the browser
* Fixes https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/issues/94

Jonas Diemer ce37c80c2d Improve power button hold measurement for boot (#95)
Improves the duration for which the power button needs to be held - see
#53.

I left the measurement code for the calibration value in, as it will
likely change if we move the settings to NVS.

## Summary

* Fix issue with 2-bit bmp rendering
* Add support generate book cover BMP from JPG and use as sleep screen

## Additional Context

Dave Allie 958508eb6b Prevent boot loop if last open epub crashes on load (#87)
## Summary

* Unset openEpubPath on boot and set once epub fully loaded

## Additional Context

* If an epub was crashing when loading, it was possible to get the
device stuck into a loop. There was no way to get back to the home
screen as we'd always load you back into old epub
* Break this loop by clearing the stored value when we boot, still
jumping to the last open epub, but only resetting that value once the
epub has been fully loaded

Dave Allie 2a27c6d068 Add JPG image support (#23)
## Summary

- Add basic JPG image support
- Map JPG back to 2-bit BMP output
- Can be used to later render the BMP file from disk or directly pass to
output if wanted
- Give the 3 passes over the data needed to render grayscale content,
putting it on disk is preferred to outputting it multiple times

## Additional Context

- WIP, looking forward to BMP support from
https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/pull/16
- Addresses some of #11

Dave Allie b73ae7fe74 Paginate book list and avoid out of bounds rendering (#86)
## 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

Dave Allie f264efdb12 Extract EPUB TOC into temp file before parsing (#85)
## Summary

* Extract EPUB TOC into temp file before parsing
* Streaming ZIP -> XML parser uses up a lot of memory as we're
allocating inflation buffers while also holding a few copies of the
buffer in different forms
* Instead, but streaming the inflated file down to the SD card (like we
do for HTML parsing, we can lower memory usage)

## Additional Context

* This should help with
https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/issues/60 and
https://github.com/daveallie/crosspoint-reader/issues/10. It won't
remove those class of issues completely, but will allow for many more
books to be opened.

Jonas Diemer 926c786705 Keep ZipFile open to speed up getting file stats. (#76)
Still a bit raw, but gets the time required to determine the size of
each chapter (for reading progress) down from ~25ms to 0-1ms.

This is done by keeping the zipArchive open (so simple ;)).

Probably we don't need to cache the spine sizes anymore then...

IFAKA 9a3bb81337 fix: add NULL checks after malloc in drawBmp() (#80)
## Problem
`drawBmp()` allocates two row buffers via `malloc()` but doesn't check
if allocations succeed. On low memory, this causes a crash when the NULL
pointers are dereferenced.

## Fix
Add NULL check after both `malloc()` calls. If either fails, log error
and return early.

Changed `lib/GfxRenderer/GfxRenderer.cpp`.

## Test
- Defensive addition only - no logic changes
- Manual device testing appreciated

IFAKA 73d1839ddd fix: add bounds checks to Epub getter functions (#82)
## Problem
Three Epub getter functions can throw exceptions:
- `getCumulativeSpineItemSize()`: No bounds check before
`.at(spineIndex)`
- `getSpineItem()`: If spine is empty and index invalid, `.at(0)` throws
- `getTocItem()`: If toc is empty and index invalid, `.at(0)` throws

## Fix
- Add bounds check to `getCumulativeSpineItemSize()`, return 0 on error
- Add empty container checks to `getSpineItem()` and `getTocItem()`
- Use static fallback objects for safe reference returns on empty
containers

Changed `lib/Epub/Epub.cpp`.

## Test
- Defensive additions - follows existing bounds check patterns
- No logic changes for valid inputs
- Manual device testing appreciated

IFAKA cc86533e86 fix: add NULL check after malloc in readFileToMemory() (#81)
## Problem
`readFileToMemory()` allocates an output buffer via `malloc()` at line
120 but doesn't check if allocation succeeds. On low memory, the NULL
pointer is passed to `fread()` causing a crash.

## Fix
Add NULL check after `malloc()` for the output buffer. Follows the
existing pattern already used for `deflatedData` at line 141.

Changed `lib/ZipFile/ZipFile.cpp`.

## Test
- Follows existing validated pattern from same function
- Defensive addition only - no logic changes
2025-12-21 13:35:37 +11:00
IFAKA bf3f270067 fix: add NULL checks for frameBuffer in GfxRenderer (#79)
## Problem
`invertScreen()`, `storeBwBuffer()`, and `restoreBwBuffer()` dereference
`frameBuffer` without NULL validation. If the display isn't initialized,
these functions will crash.

## Fix
Add NULL checks before using `frameBuffer` in all three functions.
Follows the existing pattern from `drawPixel()` (line 11) which already
validates the pointer.

Changed `lib/GfxRenderer/GfxRenderer.cpp`.

## Test
- Follows existing validated pattern from `drawPixel()`
- No logic changes - only adds early return on NULL
- Manual device testing appreciated

Brendan O'Leary d41d539435 Add connect to Wifi and File Manager Webserver (#41)
## Summary

- **What is the goal of this PR?**  
Implements wireless EPUB file management via a built-in web server,
enabling users to upload, browse, organize, and delete EPUB files from
any device on the same WiFi network without needing a computer cable
connection.

- **What changes are included?**
- **New Web Server**
([`CrossPointWebServer.cpp`](src/CrossPointWebServer.cpp),
[`CrossPointWebServer.h`](src/CrossPointWebServer.h)):
    - HTTP server on port 80 with a responsive HTML/CSS interface
    - Home page showing device status (version, IP, free memory)
    - File Manager with folder navigation and breadcrumb support
    - EPUB file upload with progress tracking
    - Folder creation and file/folder deletion
    - XSS protection via HTML escaping
- Hidden system folders (`.` prefixed, "System Volume Information",
"XTCache")
  
- **WiFi Screen** ([`WifiScreen.cpp`](src/screens/WifiScreen.cpp),
[`WifiScreen.h`](src/screens/WifiScreen.h)):
    - Network scanning with signal strength indicators
    - Visual indicators for encrypted (`*`) and saved (`+`) networks
- State machine managing: scanning, network selection, password entry,
connecting, save/forget prompts
    - 15-second connection timeout handling
    - Integration with web server (starts on connect, stops on exit)
  
- **WiFi Credential Storage**
([`WifiCredentialStore.cpp`](src/WifiCredentialStore.cpp),
[`WifiCredentialStore.h`](src/WifiCredentialStore.h)):
    - Persistent storage in `/sd/.crosspoint/wifi.bin`
- XOR obfuscation for stored passwords (basic protection against casual
reading)
    - Up to 8 saved networks with add/remove/update operations
  
- **On-Screen Keyboard**
([`OnScreenKeyboard.cpp`](src/screens/OnScreenKeyboard.cpp),
[`OnScreenKeyboard.h`](src/screens/OnScreenKeyboard.h)):
    - Reusable QWERTY keyboard component with shift support
    - Special keys: Shift, Space, Backspace, Done
    - Support for password masking mode
  
- **Settings Screen Integration**
([`SettingsScreen.h`](src/screens/SettingsScreen.h)):
    - Added WiFi action to navigate to the new WiFi screen
  
  - **Documentation** ([`docs/webserver.md`](docs/webserver.md)):
- Comprehensive user guide covering WiFi setup, web interface usage,
file management, troubleshooting, and security notes
    - See this for more screenshots!
- Working "displays the right way in GitHub" on my repo:
https://github.com/olearycrew/crosspoint-reader/blob/feature/connect-to-wifi/docs/webserver.md

**Video demo**


https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/283e32dc-2d9f-4ae2-848e-01f41166a731

## Additional Context

- **Security considerations**: The web server has no
authentication—anyone on the same WiFi network can access files. This is
documented as a limitation, recommending use only on trusted private
networks. Password obfuscation in the credential store is XOR-based, not
cryptographically secure.

- **Memory implications**: The web server and WiFi stack consume
significant memory. The implementation properly cleans up (stops server,
disconnects WiFi, sets `WIFI_OFF` mode) when exiting the WiFi screen to
free resources.

- **Async operations**: Network scanning and connection use async
patterns with FreeRTOS tasks to prevent blocking the UI. The display
task handles rendering on a dedicated thread with mutex protection.

- **Browser compatibility**: The web interface uses standard
HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript and is tested to work with all modern browsers on
desktop and mobile.

Adresses #53 

Please check if we still need the code to "Give the user up to 1000ms to
start holding the power button, and must hold for
SETTINGS.getPowerButtonDuration()" - the power button should be pressed
already when waking up...

Also, decided to return before the delay to wait more to make the
behavior more immediate.

IFAKA c1d5f5d562 Add NULL checks after fopen() in ZipFile (#68)
## Problem
Three `fopen()` calls in ZipFile.cpp did not check for NULL before using
the file handle. If files cannot be opened, `fseek`/`fread`/`fclose`
receive NULL and crash.

## Fix
Added NULL checks with appropriate error logging and early returns for
all three locations:
- `getDataOffset()`
- `readFileToMemory()`
- `readFileToStream()`

## Testing
- Builds successfully with `pio run`
- Affects: `lib/ZipFile/ZipFile.cpp`

IFAKA adfeee063f Handle empty spine in getBookSize() and calculateProgress() (#67)
## Problem
- `getBookSize()` calls `getCumulativeSpineItemSize(getSpineItemsCount()
- 1)` which passes -1 when spine is empty
- `calculateProgress()` then divides by zero when book size is 0

## Fix
- Return 0 from `getBookSize()` if spine is empty
- Return 0 from `calculateProgress()` if book size is 0

## Testing
- Builds successfully with `pio run`
- Affects: `lib/Epub/Epub.cpp`
2025-12-19 23:28:36 +11:00
IFAKA 2d3928ed81 Validate file handle when reading progress.bin (#66)
## Problem
Reading progress.bin used `SD.exists()` then `SD.open()` without
checking if open succeeded. Race conditions or SD errors could cause
file handle to be invalid.

## Fix
- Removed redundant `SD.exists()` check
- Check if file opened successfully before reading
- Verify correct number of bytes were read

## Testing
- Builds successfully with `pio run`
- Affects: `src/activities/reader/EpubReaderActivity.cpp`
2025-12-19 23:27:08 +11:00
IFAKA 48249fbd1e Check SD card initialization and show error on failure (#65)
## Problem
`SD.begin()` return value was ignored. If the SD card fails to
initialize, the device continues and crashes when trying to load
settings/state.

## Fix
Check return value and display "SD card error" message instead of
proceeding with undefined state.

## Testing
- Builds successfully with `pio run`
- Affects: `src/main.cpp`
2025-12-19 23:24:25 +11:00
IFAKA 1a53dccebd Fix title truncation crash for short titles (#63)
## Problem
The status bar title truncation loop crashes when the chapter title is
shorter than 8 characters.

```cpp
// title.length() - 8 underflows when length < 8 (size_t is unsigned)
title = title.substr(0, title.length() - 8) + "...";
```

## Fix
Added a length guard to skip truncation for titles that are too short to
truncate safely.

## Testing
- Builds successfully with `pio run`
- Affects: `src/activities/reader/EpubReaderActivity.cpp`
2025-12-19 23:23:43 +11:00
IFAKA 3e28724b62 Add bounds checking for TOC/spine array access (#64)
## Problem
`getSpineIndexForTocIndex()` and `getTocIndexForSpineIndex()` access
`toc[tocIndex]` and `spine[spineIndex]` without validating indices are
within bounds. Malformed EPUBs or edge cases could trigger out-of-bounds
access.

## Fix
Added bounds validation at the start of both functions before accessing
the arrays.

## Testing
- Builds successfully with `pio run`
- Affects: `lib/Epub/Epub.cpp`

Dave Allie 67da8139b3 Use 6x8kB chunks instead of 1x48kB chunk for secondary display buffer (#36)
## Summary

- When allocating the `bwBuffer` required to restore the RED RAM in the
EPD, we were previously allocating the whole frame buffer in one
contiguous memory chunk (48kB)
- Depending on the state of memory fragmentation at the time of this
call, it may not be possible to allocate all that memory
- Instead, we now allocate 6 blocks of 8kB instead of the full 48kB,
this should mean the display updates are more resilient to different
memory conditions

# CrossPoint User Guide
Welcome to the **CrossPoint** firmware. This guide outlines the hardware controls, navigation, and reading features of
the device.
## 1. Hardware Overview
The device utilises the standard buttons on the Xtink X4 in the same layout:
### Button Layout
| Location | Buttons |
|-----------------|--------------------------------------------|
| **Bottom Edge** | **Back**, **Confirm**, **Left**, **Right** |
| **Right Side** | **Power**, **Volume Up**, **Volume Down** |
---
## 2. Power & Startup
### Power On / Off
To turn the device on or off, **press and hold the Power button for half a second**. In **Settings** you can configure
the power button to trigger on a short press instead of a long one.
### First Launch
Upon turning the device on for the first time, you will be placed on the **Home** screen.
> **Note:** On subsequent restarts, the firmware will automatically reopen the last book you were reading.
---
## 3. Screens
### 3.1 Home Screen
The Home Screen is the main entry point to the firmware. From here you can navigate to the **Book Selection** screen,
**Settings** screen, or **File Upload** screen.
### 3.2 Book Selection (Read)
The Book Selection acts as a folder and file browser.
* **Navigate List:** Use **Left** (or **Volume Up**), or **Right** (or **Volume Down**) to move the selection cursor up
and down through folders and books.
* **Open Selection:** Press **Confirm** to open a folder or read a selected book.
### 3.3 Reading Screen
See [4. Reading Mode](#4-reading-mode) below for more information.
### 3.4 File Upload Screen
The File Upload screen allows you to upload new e-books to the device. When you enter the screen you'll be prompted with
a WiFi selection dialog and then your X4 will start hosting a web server.
See the [webserver docs](./docs/webserver.md) for more information on how to connect to the web server and upload files.
### 3.5 Settings
The Settings screen allows you to configure the device's behavior. There are a few settings you can adjust:
- **Sleep Screen**: Which sleep screen to display when the device sleeps, options are:
- "Dark" (default) - The default dark sleep screen
- "Light" - The same default sleep screen, on a white background
- "Custom" - Custom images from the SD card, see [3.6 Sleep Screen](#36-sleep-screen) below for more information
- "Cover" - The book cover image (Note: this is experimental and may not work as expected)
- **Extra Paragraph Spacing**: If enabled, vertical space will be added between paragraphs in the book, if disabled,
paragraphs will not have vertical space between them, but will have first word indentation.
- **Short Power Button Click**: Whether to trigger the power button on a short press or a long press.
### 3.6 Sleep Screen
You can customize the sleep screen by placing custom images in specific locations on the SD card:
- **Single Image:** Place a file named `sleep.bmp` in the root directory.
- **Multiple Images:** Create a `sleep` directory in the root of the SD card and place any number of `.bmp` images
inside. If images are found in this directory, they will take priority over the `sleep.png` file, and one will be
randomly selected each time the device sleeps.
> [!NOTE]
> You'll need to set the **Sleep Screen** setting to **Custom** in order to use these images.
> [!TIP]
> For best results:
> - Use uncompressed BMP files with 24-bit color depth
> - Use a resolution of 480x800 pixels to match the device's screen resolution.
---
## 4. Reading Mode
Once you have opened a book, the button layout changes to facilitate reading.
### Page Turning
| Action | Buttons |
|-------------------|--------------------------------------|
| **Previous Page** | Press **Left** _or_ **Volume Up** |
| **Next Page** | Press **Right** _or_ **Volume Down** |
### Chapter Navigation
* **Next Chapter:** Press and **hold** the **Right** (or **Volume Down**) button briefly, then release.
* **Previous Chapter:** Press and **hold** the **Left** (or **Volume Up**) button briefly, then release.
### System Navigation
* **Return to Home:** Press **Back** to close the book and return to the Book Selection screen.
* **Chapter Menu:** Press **Confirm** to open the Table of Contents/Chapter Selection screen.
---
## 5. Chapter Selection Screen
Accessible by pressing **Confirm** while inside a book.
1. Use **Left** (or **Volume Up**), or **Right** (or **Volume Down**) to highlight the desired chapter.
2. Press **Confirm** to jump to that chapter.
3. *Alternatively, press **Back** to cancel and return to your current page.*
---
## 6. Current Limitations & Roadmap
Please note that this firmware is currently in active development. The following features are **not yet supported** but
are planned for future updates:
* **Images:** Embedded images in e-books will not render.
* **Text Formatting:** There are currently no settings to adjust font type, size, line spacing, or margins.
* **Rotation**: Different rotation options are not supported.

# CrossPoint vs XTOS
Below is like for like comparison of CrossPoint (version 0.5.1) and XTOS (version 3.1.1). CrossPoint is on the left,
XTOS is on the right. CrossPoint does not currently support all features of XTOS, so this comparison is just of key
features which both firmwares support.
