A reader tab left open on one device (or restored by the browser) used to
save its old chapter as the newest position as soon as it was shown again.
Progress saves now carry the tab id and the newest progress time the tab
knows (`seen`); the server refuses a save when another tab or device saved
a newer position since. The reader then asks: jump to the newest position,
or keep reading here (which makes this chapter the head again). It checks on
open, when the tab becomes visible, and on every save. Reader links carry
`at` and the reader keeps it in the address bar, so reloads and restored
tabs still know what they had seen.

The save sheet gets "+ Previous page" / "+ Next page" (right to left for
rtl in Page/Book) for a picture that runs over several pages. Moments
store a layout (row | column); pages the selected region does not touch
are dropped. Crops, viewer and gallery draw both layouts.
Dialogs now clean up directly instead of waiting for the "close" event,
which a backgrounded page can deliver late (a closed sheet stayed in the
page and M stopped working).

Reader: bookmark button and M save the page (Flow: page at the reading
line, Book: the spread) with an optional dragged region, exactly one
category (Twist, Hot, Awesome, Cute, Funny, Feels) and a note. I now
toggles the bars; ? lists all keys. Keys dispatch through public/keys.js,
which also feeds the new Settings -> Keyboard shortcuts section.
Manga page: "Your moments" strip of crops (story or recent order,
category filters), viewer with step, full page, edit, delete and
"Open in reader" (read.html ...&p=). Moments point at pages by file
name and show "page moved" when the file is gone. Private per user.

- Chapter rows show when you first finished a chapter (setting: date + hour,
date, off) from a new durable progress doneAt; older reads fall back to the
reading clock's earliest remembered completion.
- chapter.json keeps added (arrival in this library, now kept on replace) plus
x-dates.source (source upload, bulk imports flagged), x-dates.release
(official, for a later metadata job) and x-dates.ecosystem (first entry into
any Manga Circus library; carried over peering, earliest wins, clamped).
- Rows show one release date by tier: official > source upload > ecosystem >
library, with all known dates in the tooltip (setting to hide).
- Fixes: WeebCentral dates came from the chapter page, which has none (every
chapter got the download time); they now come from the full chapter list.
MangaDex no longer writes a group's publishAt into added. Peering sends dates.
- tools/backfill-chapter-dates.js migrates an existing library (dry run default).
- Coverage dry run on the server: docs/chapter-dates-coverage-2026-10-24.md.
