 ### Added / 新增
 
+- Reading preferences are unified into a single store with a new "follow global theme" mode (纸/米/夜 auto-follows light/dark until manually overridden); a reading-time tracker lays the groundwork for the shelf stats card.
+- 阅读偏好统一为单一存储,新增「跟随全局主题」模式(纸/米/夜随 light/dark 自动切换,手动选择后以手动为准);阅读时长记录层就位,为书架统计卡打底。

 - Developer tooling: component testing infrastructure (vitest jsdom project + Testing Library) with sample tests for shared UI components; reader component tests are deferred to the reader redesign. Bundle analysis available via `npm run analyze`, findings documented in `docs/bundle-review.md`.
 - 开发工具链：组件测试基建（vitest jsdom project + Testing Library），公共 UI 组件配样板测试；阅读器组件测试留待阅读器改版。`npm run analyze` 可出 bundle 体积报告，结论见 `docs/bundle-review.md`。
