Feedback topic	Adaptive Reader response	Observations	Titles affected	Current status	Latest update
Nested-block SMIL synchronization SMIL synchronization	Rewrote block-nesting walker to preserve parent timing scopes; audio no longer stalls at nested figure/aside boundaries.	3	3	Verified	May 18
Heading / audio synchronization Synchronization	Aligned heading anchor emission with the first audible phoneme rather than the block start; corrected in reader build 24.6.	0	0	Verified	May 15
Language metadata alignment Metadata	Pipeline now derives xml:lang from the source EPUB package rather than the first content document; mismatches surfaced in preflight.	0	0	Verified	May 14
Image scrolling in illustrated pages Rendering	Constrained image container to reader viewport; scroll now follows text baseline instead of image intrinsic height.	0	0	Verified	May 11
Image timing / highlighting ownership Highlighting	Assigned image regions their own SMIL parent so image highlight no longer steals timing from adjacent captions.	1	1	Verified	May 13
Printed-page navigation Navigation	Print-page targets rebuilt from page-list nav rather than inline anchors; jump-to-page now lands on the correct spread.	0	0	Verified	May 17
