Replaces the two native OS dialogs used to configure the DOCX "Enhanced"
export template (an open-file picker + a message-box question) with a
single in-app modal that shows the currently active template state, per
Task 18's original audit finding that this state was invisible until a
user thought to reopen the menu. Consolidates the "Select Word
Template..."/"Template Settings..." menu items into one "Word Template
Settings..." entry wired to the new dialog; Browse still uses the native
file picker since there is genuinely no bundled folder of templates to
enumerate (confirmed by investigation — see task-18-report.md).
Also fixes a related dangling-reference bug: WordTemplateExporter's
hardcoded default template path (word_template.docx) was deleted from
the repo in an earlier commit, but the code still tried to read it and
threw ENOENT whenever no custom template was selected. convert() now
degrades gracefully by generating a minimal, valid DOCX shell (styles +
numbering matching what markdownToWordXml() already references) instead
of crashing, and the new dialog surfaces this state honestly ("using
default formatting, no default template is bundled") rather than
implying a working default exists.
Out of scope, per explicit instruction: bundling fabricated starter
.docx templates to populate a literal multi-item gallery (rejected as
disproportionate/fake-content scope), and an EPUB template gallery (no
EPUB template mechanism exists anywhere in this codebase to build one
for).

Task 17's three new IPC channels (plugin-export-formats-registered,
run-plugin-export-format, plugin-export-format-result) were missing
from preload.js's ALLOWED_SEND_CHANNELS/ALLOWED_RECEIVE_CHANNELS,
breaking the established convention that the allowlist is the
authoritative registry of every valid channel regardless of whether
it's accessed via window.electronAPI or raw ipcRenderer (see
toggle-sidebar-panel, set-current-file, save-recent-files).
Amit Haridas
Add context.formats.registerExportFormat(id, opts) to PluginContext,
backed by a new FormatRegistry (mirrors PluginRegistry's Map-based
shape). Plugins register namespaced (${pluginId}:${id}) export
formats with a label/extension/handler; the writing-studio built-in
plugin registers a trivial "sprint-summary" .txt export as a
worked example.
The plugin system lives entirely in the renderer process while the
Export menu is built in main.js, so wiring formats into the menu
required a small IPC round-trip: renderer sends format metadata to
main after plugin load (main rebuilds the menu via the already-
idempotent createMenu()), and a menu click sends the resolved save
path back to the renderer, which is the only process holding the
plugin's handler function.
Amit Haridas
Adds pdfGetFormFields (lists AcroForm fields with name/type/value) and
pdfFillForm (fills text fields by name, optionally flattens) to
PDFOperations.js, dispatched via 'formFields'/'fillForm' in
executeOperation. pdfFillForm skips unknown/non-text fields per-field
(logs + continues) rather than failing the whole batch, matching the
partial-success precedent set by pdfExtractImages.
Wires a "Fill Form" entry into the PDF editor dialog: selecting a PDF
fetches its fields via a new get-pdf-form-fields/pdf-form-fields IPC
round trip and renders one text input per field, plus a flatten
checkbox, following the same structure as the crop/pageNumbers dialogs.
Amit Haridas
Adds four new PDFOperations: pdfExtractText (pdfjs-dist getTextContent),
pdfAddPageNumbers (reuses pdfWatermark's position-mapping logic, extracted
into a shared resolvePosition helper), pdfCrop (page.setCropBox against the
existing MediaBox), and pdfExtractImages (pdfjs-dist operator list +
paintImageXObject + sharp). Wired into executeOperation's switch and the PDF
editor dialog UI (4 new sections/toolbar buttons/menu items) with no new IPC
channel needed.
pdfjs-dist v5 is ESM-only, so it's loaded via dynamic import() of its
Node-friendly legacy build; Jest needs --experimental-vm-modules to support
that, so the test scripts now set NODE_OPTIONS accordingly via cross-env.

Extends GitOperations.js with diff/branches/checkoutBranch/push/pull,
wires the 5 new IPC handlers in main.js (reusing the existing dir
resolution), whitelists the new channels in preload.js, and fixes the
Git sidebar panel's previously dead _gitDiff callback by wiring up a
diff view, branch list/create/checkout UI, and push/pull buttons.
Resolves Task 5, which deferred this work to this task.

Reviewer follow-up on Task 12: the task's own title/brief called for
batch support and no later task in the plan picks it up, so this closes
that gap. Adds a "Single File" / "Batch Folder" mode toggle to the
existing media-operations-dialog.js; batch mode swaps the per-file
input/output fields for an Input Folder + "Include subfolders" +
Output Folder trio while keeping every other parameter (width/height/
quality/angle/startTime/duration/crf/fps/format/fit) applied uniformly
to every matching file. Disabled for audio "Merge", which combines many
inputs into one output and doesn't fit a per-file batch model.
main.js: adds collectFilesByExtension() (src/main/collectFilesByExtension.js,
unit tested), a generalization of the inline collectFiles() closure inside
ipcMain.on('universal-convert-batch', ...) to match a set of extensions
instead of one format. runMediaBatchOperation() loops
ImageOperations/AudioOperations/VideoOperations.executeOperation() over
the matched files, reporting per-file progress via new
'media-batch-progress' events and a final 'media-batch-complete' event,
then shows a "Batch Conversion Complete" dialog.showMessageBox with
completed/failed counts, mirroring performBatchConversion()'s pattern.
Wired via three new ipcMain.on handlers: batch-image-operation,
batch-audio-operation, batch-video-operation.
preload.js: whitelists the three new send channels and the two new
receive channels (media-batch-progress, media-batch-complete).
Adds Tools > Image/Audio/Video Tools... menu items and a single dynamic
renderer dialog (src/renderer/media-operations-dialog.js) that lets the
user pick a media-kind-scoped operation, fill in its operation-specific
fields, and invoke process-image-operation/process-audio-operation/
process-video-operation (Tasks 9-11's backends). File selection reuses
the existing <input type="file"> + file.path convention; the one folder
picker need (video frame extraction) reuses the existing generic
select-folder/folder-selected IPC channels, so no new IPC handler was
required. Also removes the three dead electronAPI.image/audio/video
convenience blocks from preload.js (stale pre-Task-9-11 channel names,
unused everywhere).
Add src/main/VideoOperations.js with pure argument-builder functions
(buildConvertArgs, buildCompressArgs, buildTrimArgs, buildFramesArgs,
buildGifArgs) and a single executeOperation entry point that spawns
ffmpeg via dependency-injected execFileFn, mirroring AudioOperations.js.
Wire ipcMain.handle('process-video-operation', ...) in main.js using
getFFmpegPath() and sanitizeErrorMessage(). Update preload.js's
ALLOWED_SEND_CHANNELS: remove 6 stale video-* channel names, add
process-video-operation.
Amit Haridas
Adds AudioOperations.js with pure argument builders (convert/trim/extract/merge)
plus one executeOperation that spawns ffmpeg via a dependency-injected execFileFn,
so tests never invoke a real binary. Wires process-audio-operation in main.js and
updates preload.js's ALLOWED_SEND_CHANNELS to replace the 5 stale audio-* entries.
Amit Haridas
Add src/main/ImageOperations.js (convert/resize/compress/rotate via
sharp), modeled on PDFOperations.js's executeOperation dispatcher.
Wire ipcMain.handle('process-image-operation', ...) in main.js using
sanitizeErrorMessage() on error paths, and replace the 5 stale/unused
image-* channel names in preload.js's ALLOWED_SEND_CHANNELS with
process-image-operation + select-image-folder (mirroring
select-pdf-folder for a later batch-UI task).
Amit Haridas
Reviewer caught that the new View > Monospace Font menu channel was
missing from preload.js's ALLOWED_RECEIVE_CHANNELS, the sole gap among
29 raw ipcRenderer.on(...) channels used in renderer.js. Add it under
the existing Font section for consistency with adjust-font-size.
Amit Haridas
Add a View > Monospace Font menu (font family radio + ligatures
checkbox) — the app's existing reachable UI surface for this class of
preference (mirrors Theme/Font Size/Spell Check). The menu sends the
change to the renderer, which persists it via the already-working
ipcMain.handle('set-monospace-settings', ...) and applies it live via
the same applyMonospaceClasses() used on initial load.
Amit Haridas
Extract the sidebar Templates panel's inline load-into-new-tab callback into
a shared loadTemplateIntoNewTab() function, and add the missing
ipcRenderer.on('load-template-menu', ...) listener so the File > New from
Template submenu (which already sends this IPC event, already whitelisted in
preload.js) actually loads the selected template.
Amit Haridas
Extract the recent-files.json deletion logic into a standalone
clearRecentFilesOnDisk() function and call it from both the menu
click handler and the ipcMain.on handler. Previously the menu sent
the message in the wrong direction (main→renderer instead of
renderer→main), causing the feature to silently no-op. Both paths now
use the same function and send the correct 'recent-files-cleared'
notification to keep the renderer in sync.
Amit Haridas
Monospace font embedding feature release. Adds bundled JetBrains Mono +
Fira Code TTFs (asarUnpack), preview/print font picker with ligatures
toggle, and embedded fonts in PDF (xelatex fontspec), DOCX (OOXML
surgery), EPUB (--epub-embed-font + OPF manifest), and HTML (sidecar
CSS with base64 data URI).
Renderer already calls window.electronAPI.invoke('get-monospace-settings')
to apply body classes; this wires up the channel allowlist and main-process
handlers so the IPC actually returns the active monospace settings and
persists updates.
Embeds regular + bold TTF of the active monospace family into pandoc's
DOCX output. ODT uses pandoc's built-in font handling; RTF has no font
embedding capability (documented limitation).
Replaces -V monofont=Consolas with a generated xelatex/lualatex header
that fontspec-loads the bundled JetBrains Mono or Fira Code TTF. Adds
a cached settings reader with proper invalidation on store.set, and
reorders fallback engines to prefer lualatex (fontspec-capable) before
pdflatex.
Inlines @font-face as base64 data URI so the iframe srcdoc can render
JetBrains Mono / Fira Code without depending on the parent window's
loaded @font-face sets. Reads family + ligature state from the
renderer-wide cache populated by applyMonospaceClasses().

- Make the HTML preprocessor code-block and inline-code aware so code
examples containing <style> / <div> / comments are preserved.
- Strip all raw <div> tags (not just alignment attributes) to avoid
malformed output from unmatched closing tags.
- Handle uppercase tags and single/unquoted attributes.
- Create temporary DOCX input files inside private mkdtemp directories
instead of predictable names in the shared temp directory.
- Wrap batch DOCX preprocessing in try/catch so one unreadable file
does not abort the entire batch.
- Add regression tests for the edge cases above.
Pre-process markdown before Word/DOCX export to remove raw HTML artifacts
(<style> blocks, HTML comments, and <div align=...> tags) that were
visible in the generated document. Applies to single and batch DOCX exports
via both Pandoc and WordTemplateExporter paths.
- Normalize pandoc command parsing with path.basename() to support bundled binary paths
- Use bundled pandoc binary in convertWithPandoc instead of relying on PATH
- Forward includeSubfolders checkbox state from renderer to main process
- Add pandoc availability check before batch conversion
- Re-enable Start button when batch conversion completes
- Clean up obsolete dist build artifact causing test snapshot warning
- Bump version to 4.4.4
