v0.0.2-alpha is the second experimental KoboNotebookPlus release for the
Kobo Elipsa 2E (condor) running firmware 4.38.23697.

Fixed

  • The configured eraser width now survives every pen, toolbar eraser, and
    stylus hardware-eraser switch.
  • The firmware's actual object/brush eraser policy is replayed with the UI
    selection, preventing a highlighted Object Eraser from behaving like Brush
    Eraser until the mode is toggled.
  • A guarded zero-delay replay covers erasers restyled or replaced later in the
    same Qt event cycle while preserving the selected notebook layer.

Architecture and verification

  • The former 8,000-line umbrella translation unit and .cc.inc fragments are
    now explicit resolver, runtime, entry-point, hook, visibility, and feature
    translation units.
  • make check covers artifact, binary-parity, globals-budget, and package
    validation tests.
  • GitHub CI verifies all firmware ABI pins, runs a clean NickelTC build, checks
    preview ABI and loader-visible binary parity, validates the exact installer
    contents, and publishes short-lived build artifacts.
  • The refactored build preserves 46 dynamic exports, 350 dynamic imports, and
    all 9 ordered DT_NEEDED entries from v0.0.1-alpha.

The release was also verified on-device for eraser policy and size switching,
the stylus hardware eraser, selected-layer writing and isolated erasing, layer
previews, covers, templates, page tools, and Home/My Books asset filtering.

Compatibility warning

This build is pinned to Kobo Elipsa 2E (condor), firmware 4.38.23697
only. Installing it on another device or firmware can crash Nickel, corrupt
notebooks, or require recovery. Back up the Kobo database, settings, and
notebooks first.
