fix(cbx-reader): preserve scroll position when trimming infinite-scroll DOM window

[jo2904]

Description

Fixes a scroll-jump bug in the CBX reader's infinite scroll mode. loadMorePages() caps
the DOM to INFINITE_SCROLL_MAX_DOM_PAGES (18) pages by trimming the oldest ones once
that limit is exceeded, but never compensated scroll position for the removed content.
The scroll container also has overflow-anchor: none, so the browser doesn't correct
for it either. The result: after roughly 10-15 pages of continuous scrolling, the
loaded-page-count threshold is crossed, the view jumps, and updateCurrentPageFromScroll()
picks up a bogus page from the now-inconsistent scroll position — which then gets saved
as reading progress, producing the "jumps back" symptom.

Linked Issue

Fixes #2402

Changes

• loadMorePages() now anchors on the current page's image before trimming the DOM
  window, and restores its on-screen position after the trim — the same technique
  already used by loadPreviousPages() for the symmetric (prepend) case, which never
  had this problem.

Manual Testing Steps

1. Open a CBZ with 50+ pages in infinite scroll mode.
2. Scroll continuously downward through 15-20+ pages without stopping.
3. Confirm the view no longer jumps once the loaded DOM window exceeds 18 pages.
4. Confirm the footer/page slider stays consistent with what's visually on screen
   throughout.
5. Scroll back upward to confirm no regression in the existing loadPreviousPages()
   path.
6. Repeat starting from a book with non-zero saved progress, to match the original
   report.

Additional Context (Optional)

Cross-referencing booklore-app/booklore#2777, which reports the identical symptom in
the upstream project this repo forks from. That repo's issue tracker is now closed to
new issue access, so I wasn't able to read the original discussion or confirm whether
an upstream fix exists — this fix was derived independently by tracing the code:
trimInfiniteScrollPages('tail') (added in 376ac6f / #433 for memory optimization)
never received the same scroll-compensation treatment that loadPreviousPages()'s trim
already had.

No automated test covers this: cbx-reader.component.spec.ts is entirely describe.skip,
with an existing note that the component needs an interaction-runtime seam to be
testable. Verified manually per the steps above instead.

Full just ui test run: 305 passed, 1 pre-existing failure in
metadata-viewer.component.spec.ts (locale-dependent toLocaleString() formatting,
unrelated file, reproduces identically on develop without this change).

AI Disclosure

Claude Code — used to investigate the bug (traced the infinite-scroll/DOM-trim code
path, git-blame'd the regression to #433) and draft the fix. I reviewed the change and
tested it manually per the steps above before submitting.

Walkthrough

The CBX reader now invalidates stale infinite-scroll work when the layout, scroll mode, or loaded page window changes. It also preserves the viewport by anchoring the last page before DOM updates and restoring scrollTop after rendering.

Changes

CBX infinite-scroll stability

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Invalidate stale infinite-scroll appends frontend/src/app/features/readers/cbx-reader/cbx-reader.component.ts	loadMorePages() validates layout generation, scroll mode, and window version before applying deferred work. Window initialization, teardown, and replacement invalidate pending appends.
Preserve the scroll anchor frontend/src/app/features/readers/cbx-reader/cbx-reader.component.ts	loadMorePages() captures the last page image before appending and trimming pages. It restores scrollTop after rendering when the active state and anchor remain valid.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a47f4

The change addresses the infinite-scroll jump, but stale asynchronous callbacks can still update the reader after navigation or the loaded page window changes, potentially showing or saving the wrong page or leaving loading behavior inconsistent. Merge should wait for these invalidation guards or obtain explicit owner acceptance.

Learning: When reviewing code in the Grimmory frontend (Angular), prefer modern Angular patterns. Specifically: (1) Prefer `DestroyRef` with `takeUntilDestroyed(destroyRef)` for teardown in Angular v16+ instead of manually tracking `Subscription` arrays and calling `unsubscribe()` in `ngOnDestroy()`. (2) Prefer `inject()` for dependency injection over constructor injection where appropriate. (3) Prefer Angular signals (e.g., `signal`, `computed`) over `BehaviorSubject`/`Observable` for state where signals/computed values fit the use case. Flag older patterns when they can be replaced with these modern equivalents without changing behavior.

Learning: In this Angular frontend (frontend/src/app/), prefer the team’s reactive i18n “signal/computed” pattern: (1) For individual reactive translated strings, use `translateSignal()` from `jsverse/transloco`. (2) For option/label arrays that must update on language switch, create a single `activeLang` signal with `toSignal(t.langChanges$, { initialValue: t.getActiveLang() })`, then derive the arrays as `computed()` signals that read `activeLang()`. This should avoid manual `langChanges$` subscriptions and any `ngOnDestroy` subscription cleanup; prefer this over subscribing in `ngOnInit` when implementing reactive localization.

Learning: In the Grimmory Angular frontend (Angular 21), do not flag `[(ngModel)]` two-way bindings that are bound directly to a `WritableSignal`. Angular supports two-way binding to writable signals, so usages like `[(ngModel)]="svgSearchText"` should be treated as valid and should not be considered an incorrect overwrite of the signal with a plain value. Only flag if the binding target is not a `WritableSignal`.

Addressed the 3 inline findings in efc6b55:

• Anchor tail-trim restoration on the last already-loaded page (guaranteed to survive a 'tail' trim) instead of currentPage(), which is debounced and can be stale relative to the trim.
• Guard both deferred callbacks (requestAnimationFrame + afterNextPaint) against a book or scroll-mode change mid-flight by capturing readerLayoutGeneration()/scrollMode() beforehand and aborting (clearing isLoadingMore) if either changed — same pattern already used elsewhere in this file (e.g. longStripWaitForImagesAndScroll).
• Only release isLoadingMore after the scroll correction completes, or immediately when no valid anchor exists.

Skipping the "add regression coverage" suggestion: cbx-reader.component.spec.ts is describe.skip'd repo-wide already, unrelated to this change. Out of scope here — tracking separately.

• src/content/docs/readers/cbx-reader.mdx:60-65 documents Infinite mode as continuous vertical scrolling through all pages. The PR’s DOM trimming is an internal optimization and does not appear to conflict with this user-facing behavior. [::grimmory-tools/grimmory-docs::]
• src/content/docs/readers/cbx-reader.mdx:146-151 documents automatic progress saving, current-page tracking, and resuming at the saved position. This aligns with the PR’s scroll-position and reading-progress fix. [::grimmory-tools/grimmory-docs::]
• src/content/docs/readers/reader-preferences.mdx:100 identifies Infinite scroll as a configurable CBX reader preference; no documentation update appears necessary. [::grimmory-tools/grimmory-docs::]

Good catch, confirmed against the code — addressed in 1478d08.

ensurePageLoaded() (called from goToPage()) replaces infiniteScrollPages wholesale without touching isLoadingMore or readerLayoutGeneration, so it wasn't caught by the guards added in the previous fix. If it fires while a loadMorePages() frame is pending (e.g. user jumps to a page mid-scroll), the stale callback would append onto the wrong window and trim it.

Added infiniteScrollWindowVersion, bumped whenever the window is wholesale replaced (currently just ensurePageLoaded). Both deferred callbacks in loadMorePages() bail out on a version mismatch — without touching isLoadingMore, since the resetter already owns it (set to false synchronously in ensurePageLoaded) and a newer operation may have legitimately re-claimed it since. Also added the requested anchorEl.isConnected recheck right before applying the scroll correction.

- Around line 187-188: Ensure every replacement of infiniteScrollPages or
infinite-scroll layout/mode state increments infiniteScrollWindowVersion,
including initializeInfiniteScroll and the Infinite-mode reset path, not only
ensurePageLoaded. Update the asynchronous loadMorePages callback to clear
isLoadingMore only when its captured version or operation token still owns the
current load, preventing stale callbacks from affecting newer loads.

Learning: When reviewing code in the Grimmory frontend (Angular), prefer modern Angular patterns. Specifically: (1) Prefer `DestroyRef` with `takeUntilDestroyed(destroyRef)` for teardown in Angular v16+ instead of manually tracking `Subscription` arrays and calling `unsubscribe()` in `ngOnDestroy()`. (2) Prefer `inject()` for dependency injection over constructor injection where appropriate. (3) Prefer Angular signals (e.g., `signal`, `computed`) over `BehaviorSubject`/`Observable` for state where signals/computed values fit the use case. Flag older patterns when they can be replaced with these modern equivalents without changing behavior.

Learning: In this Angular frontend (under frontend/src/app/), flag manual resource management/cleanup patterns when there is an Angular v16+ automatic alternative. Examples to prefer: (1) Instead of manually pairing document/window event listeners with stored cleanup functions (e.g., add/removeEventListener with mouseMoveCleanup/documentClickCleanup/keydownCleanup/touchCleanup fields), register teardown via DestroyRef.onDestroy(cleanupFn) (or equivalent Angular v16+ teardown mechanism). (2) Instead of storing Subscriptions in fields and explicitly unsubscribing in ngOnDestroy (e.g., annotationSaveSubscription/annotationCacheSubscription), use takeUntilDestroyed(destroyRef) (piped into the observable) or other Angular v16+ primitives. (3) If teardown is lifecycle-coupled and can be automated via DestroyRef/takeUntilDestroyed/signals (or other Angular v16+ mechanisms), prefer the automated approach over manual ngOnDestroy cleanup. Raise a review finding for the manual pattern and recommend the aut...

Learning: In this Angular frontend (frontend/src/app/), prefer the team’s reactive i18n “signal/computed” pattern: (1) For individual reactive translated strings, use `translateSignal()` from `jsverse/transloco`. (2) For option/label arrays that must update on language switch, create a single `activeLang` signal with `toSignal(t.langChanges$, { initialValue: t.getActiveLang() })`, then derive the arrays as `computed()` signals that read `activeLang()`. This should avoid manual `langChanges$` subscriptions and any `ngOnDestroy` subscription cleanup; prefer this over subscribing in `ngOnInit` when implementing reactive localization.

Learning: In the Grimmory Angular frontend (Angular 21), do not flag `[(ngModel)]` two-way bindings that are bound directly to a `WritableSignal`. Angular supports two-way binding to writable signals, so usages like `[(ngModel)]="svgSearchText"` should be treated as valid and should not be considered an incorrect overwrite of the signal with a plain value. Only flag if the binding target is not a `WritableSignal`.

187-189: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Extend invalidation to loadPreviousPages().

infiniteScrollWindowVersion guards loadMorePages() only. loadPreviousPages() still applies an unguarded afterNextPaint() correction. If a book, scroll mode, or page window changes, the stale callback can adjust the reused container and clear isLoadingMore for the new window. Capture the window version, layout generation, and scroll mode, then validate them and anchorEl.isConnected before changing scrollTop or isLoadingMore.

Invalidate stale scroll-page debounces when replacing the window.

Capture infiniteScrollWindowVersion in onScroll() and abort the 80 ms callback when it changes. Otherwise, a callback scheduled before goToPage() can overwrite currentPage with a transient viewport page during smooth scrolling.
