Release commit for 3.8.0, following CONTRIBUTING's release steps and 3.7.0's layout.

In this commit

• ApplicationInfo: 3.8.0-fork, released 2026-11-03.

• npm: package.json and package-lock.json at 3.8.0, via npm version --no-git-tag-version.

• CHANGELOG: [Unreleased] moves to [3.8.0-fork] - 2026-11-03, with sections "Added/Changed/Fixed/Removed in 3.8.0-fork". I added the entries that were missing:

  • the dependency and image refresh (chore(deps): full refresh — lock files, Actions, Docker images, and the NLP MeCab fix #307, chore(deps): week-old patch releases; Dependabot alerts already fixed on develop #311);
  • the NLP MeCab fix (chore(deps): full refresh — lock files, Actions, Docker images, and the NLP MeCab fix #307);
  • the dark-theme panels (fix(ui): keep light-background panels readable in dark themes #324).

  docs-src/changelog.md is refreshed to match.

• Checks: build:all and docs:build succeed. PHPUnit (9245), Vitest (4440) and Psalm (no errors) pass.

Covers #307, #309 to #312 and #315 to #329 (everything merged since 3.7.0). Test-only and docs-only PRs (#322, #325, #326) are left out of the CHANGELOG, as before.

Security: develop has none of the 19 open Dependabot alerts on main. They close once this reaches main. npm audit shows one moderate minimatch issue in dev-only lint tooling, whose fix requires a forced breaking upgrade.

Still to do after this merges

These are left for your go-ahead:

1. Merge develop into main ("Merge develop into main for 3.8.0-fork").
2. Annotate a tag 3.8.0 on that merge commit, using the notes below, and push it.
3. Once Actions pass, publish the GitHub release. That triggers docker-to-release.yml.

Draft release notes

Title: LWT 3.8.0: Live Anki sync, and an interface that reads right to left

Anki became a live partner rather than a file. A new page talks to Anki on your computer through the AnkiConnect add-on and keeps the two in step:

• Reviews travel both ways, in the order they happened, and Anki's cards get LWT's due dates.
• Notes stay in step: translations, notes, tags and suspension merge both ways.
• New terms and notes added on one side appear on the other.
• Nothing is lost: conflicting edits are listed rather than guessed, and deletions wait for your confirmation.

The .apkg import also no longer drops an Anki review older than your latest one in LWT.

The interface reads right to left:

• Arabic and Persian are the first right-to-left languages, machine-translated and open to correction.
• Plurals: counted messages take each language's plural forms.
• Translations: page titles, statistics and admin pages are translated everywhere.

Also in this release:

• MeCab: the MECAB word-characters marker is retired, and every MeCab language gets MeCab word counts.
• Fixes: no more negative unknown-word counts, CC-CEDICT imports again, bigger Docker uploads, Japanese parsing works in the NLP image, and dark-theme panels are readable.
• Images: the Docker image moves to PHP 8.5 on Debian trixie.

Full list: CHANGELOG.
