e66bd218d9 fix(audio): prevent dictation hangs on stalled microphones (#974)
* fix(audio): bound capture reads and support cancellation

* fix(recognition): bound and serialize capture shutdown

* fix(recognition): cancel retries and report stalled microphones

* fix(audio): prefer pulse when the ALSA default is unavailable

* fix(recognition): guard late callbacks and finalize capture tests

* docs(audio): explain input selection and stall recovery

* fix(speech): enforce auto-pause across buffered reload timeouts

* fix(speech): recover auto-resume after reload timeout

* test(speech): fix auto-pause follow-up test regressions

* fix(speech): retain auto-resume after reconfigure timeout

* fix(tray): preserve auto-pause recovery across suspend

* test(capture-shutdown): give the bare tray the suspend path's shortcut managers

_on_system_suspend now releases the main and per-language hotkey
listeners before sleep (#1025); the fixture builds TrayIndicator without
__init__, so it needs the two attributes present.

* fix(tray): release hotkey listeners on suspend even while auto-paused

Merging #1025's suspend cleanup with this branch's auto-pause handoff
left an early return that skipped shortcut_manager.stop() whenever a
configured game was active, keeping EVIOCGRABs held through sleep. The
paused branch now only owns the model-lifecycle work; listener release
and stopping active recognition run for every suspend.

* fix(tray): hold the apply lock only around the download's verify and save

Wrapping the whole recommended-model download in _apply_settings_lock
blocked every GTK-thread settings apply (e.g. Test Dictation) for the
length of the transfer. The engine already serializes reconfigures, so
the lock only needs to cover verifying the download still owns the
receipt and saving it; an apply that lands mid-download now proceeds
instead of freezing the app.

dca937fc21 feat(dictionary): combined custom dictionary with corrections (#890)
* feat(dictionary): combined custom dictionary with corrections

Rebased onto latest main (conflict-resolution squash for PR #818).

* fix(dictionary): stabilize the terms and corrections file contracts

- corrections_path() stays at the fixed config_dir() location promised by the file contract instead of following a custom or --dictionary-file terms path, which could strand or duplicate corrections; a leftover file beside the terms file is still read once and copied over.

- _atomic_write() preserves the replaced file's permission mode instead of resetting it to the process umask.

- build_initial_prompt() streams terms and stops at the configured cap instead of reading and processing the whole file for every segment.

* fix(settings): restore the selected dictionary pane after a search

Searching can auto-switch the Custom Dictionary management pane to reveal a match, but clearing the query only restored widget visibility. Record the pane selection in the search baseline snapshot and restore it alongside the previous page so users return to the pane they chose.

* fix(dictionary): close the remaining custom dictionary file-contract gaps

- A --dictionary-file session override no longer imports a corrections
  file found beside the override into the standard config directory;
  the override scopes to terms only.
- Terms reads validate the whole file before yielding: corrupt UTF-8
  mid-file now yields no terms at all, matching the invalid status
  Settings reports instead of leaking a partial dictionary to
  recognition.
- The terms read is bounded by MAX_TERMS_FILE_BYTES (1 MiB); a larger
  file is invalid everywhere with a dedicated status instead of being
  read on every segment.

* fix(dictionary): keep usable terms prefix on oversized files and legacy corrections under overrides

* fix(dictionary): cap yielded terms and keep added terms visible on oversized files

* fix(dictionary): keep added terms visible without dropping scanner-owned lines

* fix(dictionary): keep oversized terms manageable and honor mid-search pane switches

- terms list gains a Show all / Show first 500 toggle; adding a term
  beyond the cap auto-expands so the new row renders with a Remove
  button instead of being invisible until the file is hand-edited
- a manual dictionary pane switch during an active search drops the
  saved pre-search pane so clearing the query no longer rolls back the
  user's newer selection
- annotate the new settings tests and type model_info so the parakeet
  branch stops adding fresh mypy errors

* fix(settings): do not auto-expand terms on add past display cap

Rebuilding up to thousands of term rows on the UI thread stalls the
dialog; the overflow button already shows the true count, so the added
term stays one click away.

* test(dictionary): stub segment_callbacks on bare manager for history dispatch

* fix(dictionary): stream oversized terms files when building the prompt

build_initial_prompt decoded the whole 1 MiB read window before every
transcription segment even though it only needs the first max_words
terms. _iter_terms_for_prompt now reads oversized files line by line and
stops at the prompt limit, keeping the same contract: complete leading
lines only, invalid UTF-8 inside the usable window yields nothing.

* fix(history): only the ended session's worker may extend its snippet

A late segment could extend the newest history entry regardless of which
session produced it, so a worker finishing after the next dictation
session leaked its text into that session's entry. Track the worker that
owned the ended session and require late segments to arrive on the same
thread before merging; anything else forms its own snippet.

* fix(speech): transcribe queued segments the reload worker never drained

The recognition worker can exit during stop_recognition's bounded
audio-thread join, so the released key's final buffer lands in the queue
after the worker is gone and was silently dropped when the reload
teardown replaced the queue. Drain whatever remains before swapping it
— except on capture failure or an explicit cancel, which still discard
the session's leftovers.

* fix(settings): build term rows in idle slices and pin hidden additions

Two problems shared one cause. Rebuilding up to 4096 rows synchronously
stalled the dialog, and a term appended past the 500-row cap reported
success while staying invisible. Rows now build in bounded GLib idle
slices guarded by a refresh token, and a saved term outside the visible
window is pinned to the top of the capped list until it disappears or
becomes visible on its own. Adding under "show all" scrolls to the new
term instead.

* test(engine): annotate new test method return types

* fix(ci): match a candidate row that leads the latest track block

snapcraft status normally prints candidate as a continuation line under
the latest track (channel in column 1). If candidate ever leads the
track block it rides the track line instead (channel in column 3), and
the resolver missed it and refused to promote. Match both layouts in
the resolve and the pre-release re-verify.

* fix(dictionary): bound prompt reads and scroll to landed terms

- _iter_terms_for_prompt now reads each line via readline() capped by the
  remaining byte window, so an overlong line can never pull more than
  MAX_TERMS_FILE_BYTES into memory
- the prompt path keeps decoding every complete line inside the usable
  window after the term limit is collected, so invalid UTF-8 anywhere in
  the window still yields no terms and matches the reader's invalid status
- under "show all" Settings scrolls to the index where an added term
  landed (prepended or appended), verified against the row's label,
  instead of always scrolling to the end

* fix(history,reload): keep late-segment ownership and drain stamped tuples

- Track session_workers_seen so a worker from an earlier session can
  never merge into a newer snippet while a session is open
- Unpack (segment, language) queue tuples in _transcribe_queued_segments;
  passing the tuple as audio raised TypeError and lost final speech
- Refuse 'delete that' when a manual pad edit blurred segment boundaries
- Translate term-row coordinates into the scrolled card's space so the
  scroll actually reaches rows below the fold
- Type _on_dictionary_pane_changed's varargs

* style: drop unneeded nonlocal for mutated worker set

dbe0215aad feat(shortcuts): add language switching shortcuts, fix PTT races, and add dictation history (#880)
* feat(shortcuts): per-language dictation shortcuts (#805)

Bind extra keys that start dictation in a specific catalog language for
one utterance, then restore the configured language. Bindings live in
shortcuts.language_shortcuts as [{shortcut, language}], normalized
against the language catalog and the backend's shortcut parser.

The tray spawns one KeyboardShortcutManager per binding in the active
mode; toggle presses route through start_recognition_with_language, and
push-to-talk arms press/release the same way. The manager keeps the
override one-shot: it applies before the utterance starts (outranking
follow-keyboard-layout) and unwinds on the next IDLE/ERROR transition
or when a mid-dictation reconfigure picks a new language. Engines that
cannot re-language without a reload (VOSK, Parakeet, English-only
whisper.cpp) refuse with the error cue and a notification instead of
dictating in the wrong language.

Settings gains a Language Shortcuts group under Shortcuts: each row is
a language picker, an editable key entry, a Record button that retargets
the shared key-capture, and a remove button; edits persist immediately
and rebuild the live listeners. A non-dict shortcuts section now rebuilds
instead of crashing config load.

* fix(shortcuts): class-level default for language shortcut listeners

TrayIndicator stubs built with __new__ (e.g. test_suspend_handler)
skip __init__ but still run _quit(); give _language_shortcut_managers
a class-level default so teardown iterates an empty list.

* Fix Greptile review findings on per-language shortcuts (#805)

- Bind each dictation session's language for transcription workers so the
  one-shot restore cannot rewrite a queued segment's language
- Judge a shortcut's capability against the model the layout refresh will
  serve (whisper.cpp sibling swap) and refuse requests the engine drops
- Add _oneshot_language_restore to the reconfigure snapshot and settle a
  revived pending restore on failure
- Dedupe language bindings by gesture (modifier reordering, enter/return
  alias, pure-modifier side sets) instead of by string
- Stop per-language listeners under external activation and never re-arm
- Gate push-to-talk release on the binding that started the session, and
  stop a held hold before rebuilding listeners
- Keep a row's last valid binding during partial edits, report rejected
  duplicates, cancel a capture aimed at a removed row, disarm the previous
  Record target, persist a recorded key once, and add the missing type
  hints

* fix(shortcuts): resolve remaining Greptile race findings on PR #880

- Stamp each queued audio segment with the session language it was
  recorded under, so a worker that outlives stop_recognition's joins
  transcribes each utterance in its own language rather than whatever a
  newer session stored in _session_language.
- Serialize push-to-talk press/release behind _ptt_lock: a release
  landing while start_recognition runs now waits for the owner claim
  instead of being dropped, so a quick key tap cannot leave the
  microphone running.
- Add the missing return type hint on _stop_language_shortcut_managers.

* test(shortcuts): stub _segment_started_at on bare manager stubs

* fix(shortcuts): carry segment language as attribute, default language on bare managers

* fix(shortcuts): keep (segment, language) queue tuples, stamp segment.language too

* fix(settings): apply history toggle and limit to the live store

a89966a744 feat(recognition): record while an idle model reloads (#851)
* feat(recognition): buffer audio during model reload

* fix(recognition): recover buffered reload failures

* test(recognition): cover buffered reload edge cases

* fix(recognition): narrow buffered reload errors

* fix(settings): wait for IDLE before restoring Test Dictation callbacks

Buffered reload's stop_recognition() returns while PROCESSING. Test
Dictation must keep its text callbacks until recognition reaches IDLE
so the test utterance cannot inject into the focused app.

* style: apply Black formatting to PR 851 files

* fix(settings): cancel buffered reload before Test Dictation timeout restore

On the ~3min idle-wait timeout, do not restore live injector callbacks while
a buffered reload worker may still deliver text. Cancel via
_cancel_reload_recording off the GTK thread, then restore; if cancel is
unavailable or fails, leave test callbacks installed and show an error.
Add return/param annotations and regression coverage.

* fix(settings): keep Test Dictation waiting if buffered cancel fails

After the idle-wait timeout, if cancel is unavailable or raises, keep
polling with test callbacks and _test_active instead of marking the test
done. Ending early left the test callback as the only text destination,
so later normal dictation could land in the hidden test buffer. Restore
live injectors only once recognition reaches IDLE.

* fix(settings): reset Test Dictation timeout-cancel flag per session

Clear _test_timeout_cancel_attempted when a test starts, when entering
the buffered idle-wait, and when restoring UI so a later Test Dictation
can still cancel after timeout. Narrow the cancel-worker except clause
to AttributeError/OSError/RuntimeError/TypeError so unrelated defects
are not treated as ordinary cancel failure.

* fix(recognition): signal capture completion when buffered capture dies

A dead microphone during a buffered model reload left should_record=false
with no stop_recognition handoff, so the reload worker blocked forever on
_capture_finished.wait(). Signal the event from the audio thread's failure
teardown paths instead.
