v0.0.3-alpha adds notebook sleep screens to KoboNotebookPlus for the Kobo
Elipsa 2E (condor) running firmware 4.38.23697.

Added

  • Show notebook on sleep is available under Kobo's native Energy saving
    and privacy settings.
  • Choose either the notebook Cover (page zero) or Current page.
  • A notebook image is used only when sleep or power-off starts from a visible
    Advanced Notebook. Books and every other view retain Kobo's stock cover
    behavior.
  • Current-page mode includes the active built-in or custom paper template.

Fixed during device validation

  • Current-page ink now retains its exact position, scale, zoom, pan, and canvas
    offset instead of being centered or stretched from its content bounding box.
  • MyScript export extents are interpreted correctly as left/top/right/bottom
    coordinates and mapped through the live renderer transform.
  • The stale last-book reading-status panel is suppressed for notebook images.
  • The two new settings match Kobo's native left-label/right-control alignment.
  • Rendering failures, busy editors, hidden notebooks, and invalid paths safely
    fall back to Kobo's normal book cover.

Verification

  • Confirmed on-device on Kobo Elipsa 2E (condor) firmware 4.38.23697,
    including current-page/template alignment and native settings alignment.
  • GitHub CI passed the host suite, all firmware ABI pins, a clean NickelTC ARM
    hard-float build, compiled preview ABI verification, strict loader-visible
    ABI-delta verification, and exact two-file installer validation.
  • The ABI gate preserves all 46 baseline exports and 350 baseline imports while
    allowing exactly 7 notebook hooks and 29 required Qt imports. All 9 ordered
    DT_NEEDED entries remain unchanged.

Compatibility warning

This build is pinned to Kobo Elipsa 2E (condor), firmware 4.38.23697

notebooks first.
