New "Books" row in the Practice tab opens a library of bundled bilingual
books. Each chapter renders Spanish paragraph-by-paragraph; tap any
word for a definition sheet (DictionaryService with on-device AI
fallback), or toggle the toolbar button to swap to the pre-computed
English translation inline.
Local-only Book + BookChapter SwiftData models added to the local
container schema (reset version bumped to 5). DataLoader.seedBooks
walks the bundle for `book_*.json` resources, so future books drop in
without touching app code — just bundle a new JSON and bump
bookDataVersion.
First book: Olly Richards' "Spanish Short Stories For Beginners
Vol 2" — 13 chapters, 2,646 paragraphs, bilingual.
Scripts/books/ is the repeatable pipeline for future EPUBs:
extract_epub.py → translate_chapters.py (per-chapter resumable jobs) →
bundle_book.py. Translation is done by parallel Claude Code subagents
reading per-job input files and writing output files — no API key
required, matching the pattern used for the textbook vocab vision
pass. See Scripts/books/README.md for the full how-to.
