What changed
- Added an
EN/中control to the reading-panel title bar. - Switching languages updates the complete interface immediately, including detection, Zotero destination, thought, save, recovery, PDF, and error messages.
- The selected language survives page changes, browser restarts, and in-place extension upgrades.
- Language switching does not alter the active paper, thought draft, Zotero destination, panel position, or save state.
- Closing the panel now flushes the last confirmed browser draft immediately.
Verification
- Complete Zotero Connector regression suite: 131/131 passed.
- Dedicated PaperLoop sidebar suite: 10/10 passed, including a real click on the language button and state-preservation assertions.
- The formal Manifest V3 package is built without debug fixtures.
Known limits
- The browser extension is still installed in developer mode and has no automatic update channel.
- Metadata and attachment capture require a supported Zotero translator.
- PDF access remains subject to publisher login, institutional access, and site controls.
- PaperLoop does not create guessed, incomplete items on unrecognized pages.
