* feat(settings): run local VocaGateway from Speech Engine (podman-first)
Add an optional Local VocaGateway panel next to Remote Server so Linux users
can start the pinned v0.1.0 compose project with podman (docker fallback),
watch Live/Pairable/Ready status, pair a phone without loopback QR URLs, and
preset remote_api to the gateway transcriptions endpoint. Stop preserves
volumes; Flatpak fails closed; tray offers Stop only when this session manages
the gateway. Default on-device engine stays whisper.cpp.
* fix(gateway-embed): drop nonexistent compose cpu profile
VocaGateway v0.1.0 exposes default service gateway plus native/cuda/vulkan
profiles, not cpu. Start and stop the default service without --profile, keep
the latest image pin rejection, and prefer save_config for the remote_api preset.
* fix(gateway-embed): keep compose --profile cpu per embed contract
v0.1.0 has no cpu profile entry, but Compose still starts the unprofiled
gateway service when --profile cpu is set, and keeps cuda/vulkan/native off.
That matches the frozen desktop embed contract and stays forward-compatible.
* fix(gateway-embed): harden embed path for settings and compose
Keep podman/docker probing off the GTK thread, reject link-local and
loopback public URLs for phone QR, sanitize compose .env image overrides,
and cap bootstrap token reads so a hostile file cannot blow memory.
* fix(gateway-embed): keep LAN toggle and phone QR in sync
When Allow LAN flips while compose is already managed, rewrite publish
host and PUBLIC_URL and recreate the gateway before Pairable comes back.
Also reject default docker/podman bridge addresses for phone QR.
* test(gateway-embed): pin bridge and LAN-gate pairing cases
Cover 172.17.0.2 / link-local not becoming Pairable, and the mid-run
LAN toggle path that must wait for compose republish before advertising
a phone URL.
* style(gateway-embed): black format embed modules
* fix(gateway-embed): reject short-form loopback and localhost.* for QR
Align Pairable/QR host checks with vocagateway desktop-embed policy so
127.1 / localhost.* never become phone-reachable display URLs.
* fix(gateway-embed): detach Settings status listener on destroy
Gateway poll callbacks were left registered after Settings closed, so
idle_add could touch destroyed GTK widgets while compose stayed up.
* fix(gateway-embed): pass host_env to bridge ip probe
_bridge_iface_ips shells out to host ip; without host_env the AST
gate fails and AppImage bundles can hand the wrong GLib to ip.
* fix(packaging): ship gateway_embed in the AppImage
The explicit setuptools packages list omitted the new package, so the
bundle booted from source trees but died with ModuleNotFoundError on
every distro boot test.
* style(packaging): black the gateway_embed package guard
* fix(settings): pack local VocaGateway into the Advanced island
The rebase onto main auto-merged textually onto the simple Speech Model
page. Keep the gateway card on advanced_box, next to Remote Server.
* fix(gateway-embed): treat missing Compose as unavailable
When podman or docker is present but Compose is not, stop advertising Run.
Return empty compose_args, show an install-Compose hint, and cover it with a unit test.
Also add module loggers on the new gateway_embed modules and annotate the
gateway Settings/tray callbacks Greptile flagged. just lock found no lockfile drift.
* fix(gateway-embed): keep Allow LAN bind matched to the switch
Snapshot the LAN flag for start/republish, record what compose actually
got, then republish again if the switch moved mid-flight so 0.0.0.0 never
lingers while Allow LAN reads off.
* fix(gateway-embed): detect leftover compose after Quit
Quit does not stop compose, so a LAN-published gateway can keep running.
Settings and the tray treated that as Stopped because managed_by_us is
only process memory. Probe compose after runtime detection, show Stop
when it is actually up, and let Stop work even if this session did not
start it.
* fix(gateway-embed): restore LAN switch from leftover compose
Quit leaves compose running, so the next launch now reads
VOCAGATEWAY_PUBLISH_HOST from the embed .env, adopts the project as
managed, and keeps Allow LAN honest so republish can close 0.0.0.0.
* fix(gateway-embed): restore .env if LAN republish fails
compose recreate can fail after write_env_file already pointed
VOCAGATEWAY_PUBLISH_HOST at loopback. Restore the previous .env so
orphan adopt still sees a live 0.0.0.0 bind, and snap Allow LAN back
to the running publish mode.
* style(gateway-embed): type helper args and black MagicMock
* refactor(types): move Readable protocol to common_types
AGENTS.md keeps Protocol interfaces in common_types. Pairing now imports
the shared Readable surface instead of a local _Readable helper.
* fix(gateway-embed): satisfy mypy on rebased embed code
* fix(audio): keep duck restore point when a set reports failure
* build(appimage): pin the interpreter, packages and tooling
* ci(appimage): build inside a pinned ubuntu 22.04 image
* test(appimage): guard the pins and the base image
* docs: state the AppImage glibc floor
* fix(appimage): bundle libibus with its typelib
* ci(appimage): let the container run the isolated GI smoke test
* fix(appimage): keep the bundle's libraries out of host binaries
* fix(appimage): bundle libgpg-error with the libgcrypt that needs it
* docs(agents): require host_env() for spawned binaries
* ci: run the AppImage jobs when its other inputs change
* fix(appimage): check every bundled typelib, not just the seeded ones
* fix(ibus): keep the bundle when respawning our own interpreter
* fix(injection): pass host_env() to setxkbmap and notify-send
* test(ibus): wait for the IBus warmup thread before asserting
* feat(ui): About page for this app, VocaHQ, and talk to us
Settings About now has three groups. Vocalinux keeps the existing icon,
version, AGPL-3.0, updater, and What's New. The website button opens
vocalinux.com.
Part of VocaHQ lists the family sites with PRODUCT.md status. Talk to us
opens GitHub issues, Discord, X, and email. Official Design marks from
VocaHQ/.github are vendored as-is and painted with iron-white ink.
* fix(ui): unique About Open names and pin Design SVG hashes
Open buttons on About still say Open. Each one now uses its tooltip as
the accessible name so a screen reader can tell vocahq.com from
vocalinux.com from Latest Release.
The Talk-to-us SVG test pins sha256 of the four official marks from
VocaHQ/.github 61c8eee.
* fix(ui): circular app icon and About source code link
The launcher and About header used the square teal fill. Switch
both to the circular family logo (voca-logo.svg). Website stays
vocalinux.com; Source code next to it opens the GitHub repo.
* fix(appimage): pin pywhispercpp to the version install.sh declares
* fix(appimage): pin pywhispercpp at both install sites
* test(docs): match AGENTS.md uv.lock wording
#727 dropped "unused until those phases land". The test still
looked for that line, so any PR that runs Python tests against
current main failed. Pin the current contract instead: uv.lock
is authoritative, and requirements/*.txt are not hand-edited.

* fix(whisper): use bundled GPU libs and skip software Vulkan devices
AppImage 0.15.0 shipped a CPU-only pywhispercpp wheel, so the Settings
GPU picker and host vulkaninfo never moved inference off the CPU. Rebuild
pywhispercpp with Vulkan in the AppImage, log the libraries that actually
load, skip llvmpipe in auto-select, and document how to verify.
Fixes#604
* fix(appimage): pin gcc/g++ for Vulkan pywhispercpp rebuild
Hosts that default cc/c++ to clang fail CMAKE's C++ test because clang
does not search gcc's libstdc++ path. Default the rebuild to gcc/g++.
* fix(appimage): ship transitive GI typelibs for non-Debian hosts
The 0.15.0 AppImage pruned girepository down to a partial allowlist and
dropped xlib/Dbusmenu/GModule. On Ubuntu the missing typelibs fell back
to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/girepository-1.0; on openSUSE/Fedora that
path does not exist, so Gtk failed to import and startup reported
missing GTK3/AppIndicator (#585).
Keep linuxdeploy's typelib extras, seed the full transitive set, bundle
AppIndicator/Notify shared libs, and smoke-test GI imports with host
typelibs hidden.

* fix(ci): avoid libappindicator/ayatana apt conflict
Ubuntu packages libappindicator3-1 and libayatana-appindicator3-1
conflict. Rely on gir1.2-* to pull a single implementation and keep
libdbusmenu/libnotify explicit for bundling.

* fix(ci): install gir1.2-dbusmenu-glib for AppImage typelib seed
Dbusmenu-0.4 is a required transitive typelib for AppIndicator; without
the GIR package the build fails the required-typelib check.

* fix(appimage): require only one AppIndicator typelib variant
Runtime accepts AppIndicator3 or AyatanaAppIndicator3. Treat them as
alternates in the AppImage typelib check so single-stack build hosts
do not fail require_all.

* fix(appimage): prefer Ayatana after rebase onto main
Align AppImage typelib seeding and GI smoke order with main's
Ayatana-first tray preference from #621/#638.

* fix(appimage): accept lowercase AyatanaAppindicator3 typelib
Match tray_indicator.py's three-step fallback so AppImage builds and
GI smoke succeed on hosts that only ship AyatanaAppindicator3-0.1.

* fix(main): accept lowercase AyatanaAppindicator3 in dep check
Align check_dependencies with tray_indicator.py and the AppImage GI
smoke path so a lowercase-only typelib host does not fail at startup.
