v2.0.1

Article Detail Fixes + My Brief Player Fix

Day-one beta feedback fixes: AI margin note overlap, TOC visibility, My Brief audio player, and duplicate AI Copilot status indicator.

Bug FixAI CopilotDaily BriefArticle Detail

Day one of private beta, and already great feedback — all of these are fixed and live today.

🐛 Bug Fixes

Article Detail — AI margin note icon overlapping text (#123)

  • Root cause: icon was anchored to the container's left edge, overlapping the first character on laptop screens
  • Fix: dynamically compute left gutter width and position the icon 32px from the article body edge
  • Auto-hides when gutter is narrower than 32px; responds to window resize via ResizeObserver

Article Detail — Table of Contents not visible on laptops (#124)

  • Fix: display breakpoint lowered from 1440px to 1280px, covering most 13/14" laptop resolutions
  • Minimum H2 count reduced from 5 to 3, so medium-length articles now trigger the TOC

AI Copilot — Duplicate status indicator during Q&A (#127)

  • Fix: removed the panel-level "AI is responding..." status bar; single in-card status is now the only feedback

My Brief — Audio player not showing (#120)

  • Root cause: personalized brief audio only writes podcastAudioUrl (no chapter data), causing the podcast layout check to fail
  • Fix: hasPodcastContent() now enables the embedded player whenever audioUrl exists
  • Also fixed: when audio is present but no cover image, the placeholder area correctly hides

My Brief — Header action bar too crowded

  • Streamlined to 3 visible buttons (width toggle, view yesterday, share) + ... overflow menu

Thank you @GgranDual, @mywxxxxx, @buwenyuwu, and @liujieGeorge for the rapid feedback — your reports directly drove this release.
