Jatin K MalikandGitHub 1e81b330c0 fix(ibus): restore engine process launch after XDG path import (#534)
* fix(ibus): restore engine process launch after XDG path import

PR #484 switched ibus_engine to a relative import of xdg_data_home for
Flatpak-safe paths. start_engine_process and the IBus component exec still
run this file by path (python /path/to/ibus_engine.py), which has no
package context, so the process died immediately with ImportError and
Vocalinux fell back to ydotool (clipboard paste).

Accept absolute/inline import fallbacks when loaded as a script, log child
stderr from engine.stderr.log on startup failure, and add a path-based
--xml smoke test so this does not regress.

* test(ibus): cover start_engine_process failure diagnostics

Raise patch coverage for the engine.stderr.log failure paths so
codecov/patch meets the 80% target on #534.

* chore: re-trigger CI after rebase onto main

Jatin K MalikandGitHub 3deb523efd feat(flatpak): add Flatpak packaging for universal distribution (#484)
* feat(flatpak): add Flatpak packaging for universal distribution

Adds a Flathub-ready Flatpak for the whisper.cpp engine, plus the minimal
runtime adaptations Flatpak actually needs — deliberately scoped down from the
earlier attempts (#416, #428), which bundled unrelated whisper.cpp GPU, audio,
and clipboard changes.

Packaging (packaging/flatpak/):
- app manifest, AppStream metainfo, and desktop entry (com.vocalinux.Vocalinux)
- generated offline Python dependency modules (flatpak-pip-generator)
- bundled shared modules: PortAudio, libayatana-appindicator, xdotool, xsel

Runtime changes (Flatpak-only, behaviour unchanged outside a sandbox):
- utils/paths.py: honour XDG_CONFIG_HOME/XDG_DATA_HOME so config, models and
  runtime data live under ~/.var/app/<app-id> in the sandbox
- autostart uses `flatpak run <app-id>` (the host launcher is always on PATH)
- text injection and keyboard backend detect a Wayland host reached via XWayland
  (no Wayland socket granted) and route through xdotool / pynput-on-X11
- tray indicator references the exported `<app-id>-*` host icon theme names

Also: a CI workflow building x86_64 + aarch64 bundles, and README / packaging
README / distro-compatibility doc updates.

Verified with a full flatpak-builder build + bundle install on aarch64:
pywhispercpp loads its native libraries without LD_LIBRARY_PATH, XDG paths
redirect correctly, bundled tools are present, and the entrypoint runs.
Manifest and builddir lint are clean and AppStream metadata validates.

Closes #167

* chore(flatpak): sync metainfo version to 0.14.0-beta

Also ignore flatpak-build-dir/ so local builder output stays untracked.

* refactor(flatpak): trim docs and comments after ponytail review

Drop redundant packaging README command blocks, shrink path/tray/autostart
comments, and stop ignoring a non-canonical build-dir name.

* fix(flatpak): close readiness gaps for v0.14.0-beta

Route log files through XDG data dirs so Flatpak keeps them under
~/.var/app, refresh AppStream screenshots to vocalinux.com, and use
the SPDX GPL-3.0-only license id.

* fix(flatpak): enable global hotkeys via evdev and --device=input

pynput over XWayland only receives keys for the focused X client. Prefer
evdev inside Flatpak and grant /dev/input so shortcuts work app-wide.

* fix(flatpak): inject text with ydotool/uinput on Wayland

xdotool only reaches XWayland clients, so typing appeared to succeed but
never hit native apps. Ship ydotool, grant --device=all for uinput, start
ydotoold on demand, and type via uinput inside the Flatpak.

* fix(flatpak): paste via wl-copy + Ctrl+V instead of typing

ydotool type injects character-by-character. Ship wl-clipboard, grant
--socket=wayland, and prefer clipboard paste for instant insertion.

* test(text-injection): expect ydotool default key-delay of 2

Matches the shipped VOCALINUX_YDOTOOL_KEY_DELAY default used when
clipboard paste falls back to character typing.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub 0a7acaea2f fix(hotkeys): layout-aware combo keys for non-US layouts (#513) (#514)
* fix(hotkeys): resolve combo letters via active XKB layout

Settings capture stores character tokens from GDK keyvals (e.g. alt+a),
but the Wayland/evdev path mapped letters to fixed US KEY_* codes. On
AZERTY that made Alt+A listen for the key labeled Q. Resolve letter
tokens through libxkbcommon for the active layout so recording and
listening agree.

Fixes #513

* refactor(hotkeys): slim layout-aware key resolution

Drop unused resolve helper, dual knobs, setxkbmap/localectl probes, and
redundant tests. Keep gsettings + libxkbcommon map and the AZERTY combo path.

* test(hotkeys): drop redundant AZERTY resolve-only case

Keep fire/no-fire combo coverage and the XKB fr map check.

* test(hotkeys): cover layout map detection and error paths

Raise patch coverage for layout_key_map / evdev_code_for_key so codecov
patch target (80%) is met.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub 872a745bc4 fix(text-injection): restore GNOME Wayland IBus with bare xkb engine (#506)
#502 only exempted KDE from the #478 real-engine gate. GNOME/Mutter has
the same scoped-activation path, so stock sessions with only an xkb:*
layout fell through to wtype, which Mutter rejects, then clipboard-only.

Allow any Wayland session without an explicit non-IBus IM to try IBus
when ibus-daemon is running; unbridged compositors still hit the
existing denylist.

b3605bf3c6 feat(shortcuts): configurable modifier+key hotkeys (e.g. Alt+R) (#493)
* feat(shortcuts): configurable modifier+key hotkeys (e.g. Alt+R)

Generalize the shortcut system beyond single-modifier double-tap/hold to
support modifier+key combos (alt+r, ctrl+alt+r, super+space) in both toggle
(press once) and push-to-talk (hold) modes.

- base.py: ShortcutSpec + parse_shortcut_spec/is_valid_shortcut/format label;
  parse_shortcut kept for back-compat (bare modifiers still rejected).
- evdev + pynput backends: combo detection with global (cross-device) modifier
  tracking so split keyboards work; legacy gestures unchanged.
- keyboard_shortcuts: validate via is_valid_shortcut instead of a fixed allowlist.
- settings_dialog: additive Custom Shortcut row (typed entry + live Record capture).
- tests: 34 new tests (parser, back-compat, evdev + pynput combo, split keyboard).

* fix(shortcuts): apply saved shortcut (not stale preset) on mode change

When a custom shortcut (e.g. alt+r) is active, the preset combo still points at
a default/previous preset. _on_shortcut_mode_changed read the combo, so toggling
Toggle<->Push-to-Talk restarted the live listener on the wrong shortcut while
config still said alt+r. Read the saved shortcut from config instead.

Addresses Codex P2 review on PR #493.

* style: apply black formatting to configurable-hotkeys files

* test: cover _gdk_keyname_to_token shortcut-capture mapping

* fix(shortcuts): reset combo state after dropped/lost evdev events

SYN_DROPPED and device-disconnect recovery cleared key_pressed_devices but not
the combo state. A dropped modifier *release* left _combo_pressed thinking the
modifier was held, so the main key alone could falsely toggle/start dictation,
and a push-to-talk hold could stay stuck. Add _reset_combo_state() (clears the
pressed set and ends any live hold) and call it from both recovery paths.
Addresses maintainer review on PR #493.

* fix(settings): combo-aware toggle label (single press, not double-tap)

_update_shortcut_ui_for_mode always said 'Double-tap the key' for toggle mode,
but a modifier+key combo (e.g. alt+r) toggles on a single press. Read the saved
shortcut and use get_shortcut_display_name so a combo shows 'Press Alt+R'.

Ben WilliamsandGitHub a2a5c569c5 fix(text-injection): wait for modifiers to release before Wayland injection (#494)
* fix(text-injection): wait for shortcut modifiers to release before Wayland inject

Injection emits real key events, so a held modifier from a toggle/PTT shortcut
(e.g. Alt from Alt+R) turns the simulated Ctrl+V paste into Ctrl+Alt+V and
nothing pastes — while the clipboard still shows the text. Because transcription
can finish in tens of ms, the user is often still holding the key, causing
intermittent paste failures.

Poll evdev for held modifier keycodes and defer injection until they clear
(bounded by VOCALINUX_INJECT_MODIFIER_WAIT, default 1.0s, 0 disables). Returns
immediately when nothing is held, so no added latency in the common case.

* style: black-format injection modifier-wait test

* test: cover _held_modifier_keycodes evdev scanning (patch coverage)

* test: cover error paths in _held_modifier_keycodes

* fix(text-injection): treat non-finite modifier-wait env as default

float('inf') parses cleanly and is > 0, so it slipped past the guard and made
the wait deadline infinite -- a held modifier could block injection forever
(nan was nonsensical too). Sanitize VOCALINUX_INJECT_MODIFIER_WAIT via a helper
that falls back to the 1.0s default for non-finite values. Regression tests
added, including that 'inf' still terminates.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub a9a6ae3c51 fix(text-injection): restore KDE Wayland IBus path (#502)
* fix(text-injection): restore bridged Wayland IBus path

* fix(text-injection): keep GNOME xkb fallback
2026-07-10 17:27:41 -07:00
4e3637dfb5 Fix: IBus engine restore uses wrong fallback on GNOME/Wayland (#497) (#500)
* Fix: IBus engine restore uses wrong fallback on GNOME/Wayland (#497)

On GNOME/Wayland, when IBus has no global engine (common when Mutter
manages input sources), 'ibus engine' can return a misleading
'xkb:us::eng' default that doesn't match the user's actual keyboard
layout. When Vocalinux restores this wrong value after text injection,
Electron apps switch to US layout.

Root cause: get_current_engine() trusted the output of 'ibus engine'
without checking whether IBus actually had a global engine set, and
had no fallback to discover the real keyboard layout.

Fix:
- Add get_current_engine_gnome_fallback() that reads the actual
  keyboard layout from org.gnome.desktop.input-sources via gsettings
- Modify get_current_engine() to detect 'No global engine' in stderr
  and to detect the suspicious 'xkb:us::eng' default on GNOME/Wayland,
  falling back to gsettings in both cases
- Modify stop() to log a message when skipping engine restoration
  because no valid engine was captured (None means don't restore)
- Modify inject_text() to log when skipping restoration after
  injection for the same reason
- Backward compatible: if gsettings is unavailable, falls back to
  current behavior (returning None or the IBus-reported value)

Tests: 12 new tests covering GNOME fallback, 'No global engine'
detection, suspicious default detection, gsettings parsing, and
edge cases.

* ponytail: simplify gsettings uint32 parsing

gsettings prints 'uint32 N' or just 'N' — split()[-1] handles both,
no need for separate branches

3303d075a6 Fix: Audio device index mismatch causing crash on recording start (#498) (#499)
* fix(audio): resolve device by name to prevent index mismatch crash (#498)

Audio device indices can shift between sessions when USB devices are
replugged or virtual devices are added/removed. A saved device_index=24
(BRIO webcam) could later point to 'speech-dispatcher-dummy', causing
PortAudio to attempt recording from a virtual device and triggering
malloc corruption / SIGABRT.

Fix has three parts:

1. Store and match by device name, not just index
   - Config already saves device_name alongside device_index
   - At recording time, _resolve_device_by_name() enumerates current
     devices and finds the one matching the saved name
   - Falls back to stored index, then system default (with warning log)
   - main.py now passes audio_device_name to SpeechRecognitionManager

2. Filter virtual devices from input device enumeration
   - _is_virtual_device() detects speech-dispatcher, dummy, null sink,
     monitor, and ALSA output devices
   - get_audio_input_devices() skips virtual devices
   - Settings dialog dropdown only shows real input devices
   - Debug logging in _record_audio also skips virtual devices

3. Validate resolved device has input channels (from flatpak branch)
   - Extra safety check: after resolving, verify maxInputChannels > 0
   - Falls back to system default if resolved device is invalid
   - Brings the validation from feature/flatpak-packaging to main

Closes #498

* style: apply black formatting to recognition_manager.py

* test: add audio_device_name kwarg to mock assertion

* test: add coverage for _is_virtual_device, _resolve_device_by_name, device name management

* test: fix StopIteration in fallback test by using return_value for mock

* ponytail: remove redundant validation and simplify _resolve_device_by_name

- Remove ~20 lines of dead validation in _record_audio() — _resolve_device_by_name
  and _resolve_valid_input_device already check maxInputChannels and virtual devices
- Simplify _resolve_device_by_name to just find index by name, then delegate all
  validation to _resolve_valid_input_device (which already does channel/virtual checks)
- Update tests to match the simplified delegation pattern

Jatin K MalikandGitHub 6bb6d8802e fix(ibus): require a real IM engine on Wayland (#478) (#491)
* fix(ibus): require a real IM engine on Wayland (#478)

On Wayland a bare xkb:* IBus engine is a layout passthrough that never
delivers commit_text() to applications, so selecting the IBus backend
there silently no-ops (niri/sway, and GNOME/Mutter via the env-var
branch). Require a real IM engine before treating IBus as active on
Wayland, regardless of how it was detected; X11/XWayland (XIM) is
unchanged. Complements #486's compositor denylist.

* test(ibus): bind #478 patches to the module under test

Patch get_current_engine/is_ibus_daemon_running via patch.object on a
held ibus_engine reference and call is_ibus_active_input_method through
it, so the patched functions and the function under test always share
one module object. Fixes flakiness in the full CI suite where other test
files re-import ibus_engine and the dotted-string patch bound a
different module object.

On Wayland, setxkbmap only reaches the XWayland X11 server, so
restore_xkb_layout() rewrote the XWayland layout (flipping it to us for
XWayland/Electron apps) while native Wayland apps stayed correct. Make
restore_xkb_layout() a no-op on Wayland and stop defaulting the captured
layout to 'us' so a never-captured layout is never re-applied.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub 34eb2f7ecf feat(text-injection): speed up ydotool injection with explicit --key-delay (#488)
Pass --key-delay 8 to ydotool type instead of relying on the default
(12-20ms). This makes text injection ~3x faster while keeping key-delay
above zero to avoid the Shift-leak bug where capital letters corrupt
following characters.

The delay is configurable via VOCALINUX_YDOTOOL_KEY_DELAY env var.

Note: --key-hold flag from the original issue does not exist in standard
ydotool (verified against official man page and v1.0.4 source).

03b0efb51d fix(text_injection): use wtype on compositors that don't bridge IBus to native apps (#486)
* fix(text_injection): use wtype on compositors that don't bridge IBus to native apps

On Wayland compositors that don't bridge IBus to native clients (COSMIC,
Sway, Hyprland, Wayfire, river, niri, ...), the IBus engine's commit_text()
reaches only XWayland and GTK/Qt apps that load the IBus IM module. Native
apps such as cosmic-term receive nothing, yet inject_text() reports success,
so dictation silently does nothing.

- Add a compositor denylist (_wayland_compositor_bridges_ibus) so IBus is
  skipped on those compositors and the virtual-keyboard path (wtype/ydotool)
  is used instead. A denylist (rather than an allowlist) keeps the existing
  IBus-preferred behaviour on unrecognised desktops. Complements the recent
  KDE Plasma Wayland handling, which covers the mirror-image case.
- Replace the unreliable `ydotool type ""` probe (exits 0 even with no daemon)
  with _is_ydotoold_running(), so a daemonless ydotool install correctly falls
  back to wtype instead of selecting a no-op ydotool.
- Add unit tests for the compositor gate, the ydotoold check, and that an
  active-IBus COSMIC session selects wtype.

Farès SIONIandGitHub 14972672c5 fix(wayland): reliable clipboard copy and ydotool injection (#480)
Two independent text-injection bugs on Wayland:

1. Clipboard copy silently failed. wl-copy/xclip/xsel fork a background
   process that keeps owning the selection; capturing its stderr with
   subprocess.PIPE makes run() block on the surviving child until the
   clipboard is next overwritten, so the call always hits its timeout and
   _copy_to_clipboard reports failure even though the copy succeeded.
   Redirect stdout/stderr to DEVNULL so run() only waits for the
   short-lived foreground process.

2. ydotool scrambled text on non-US keyboard layouts. `ydotool type`
   emits positional evdev keycodes that get re-interpreted through the
   active layout (assumed US QWERTY), so dictated text came out garbled on
   AZERTY/QWERTZ/Dvorak (e.g. "message" -> ",essqge") and non-ASCII was
   dropped. Always inject via clipboard paste (Ctrl+V) for ydotool, which
   is layout-independent and Unicode-safe.

Adds regression tests for both.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub 49858f14e3 fix(ibus): capture current engine during prepare_engine for scoped activation (#458)
* fix(ibus): capture current engine during prepare_engine for scoped activation

Two bugs were causing IBus injection to fail and fall back to ydotool:

1. get_current_engine() returned empty string (falsy) when 'ibus engine'
   output was empty, instead of None. This caused inject_text() to think
   no engine was available.

2. prepare_engine() didn't capture the current IBus engine, so when
   inject_text() tried to get it at runtime, it would fail on systems
   where 'ibus engine' returns empty output.

Fix: get_current_engine() now returns None for empty output. prepare_engine()
captures the current engine before starting the Vocalinux process. inject_text()
uses the captured _previous_engine as fallback when get_current_engine() fails.

Fixes the regression from PR #457 where IBus injection would fail with:
  WARNING  Could not determine current IBus engine
  ERROR    IBus engine instance is not active and the previous engine
           could not be captured safely

* fix(ibus): always activate engine for injection on Wayland

On Wayland, 'ibus engine' returns empty output, so get_current_engine()
returns None. The previous code would skip activation when it couldn't
determine the current engine, causing injection to fail and fall back
to ydotool.

Now we always activate the Vocalinux engine when it's not active,
regardless of whether we can capture the previous engine. If we couldn't
capture it, we simply don't restore anything after injection.

This fixes the regression where IBus injection would fail with:
  WARNING  Could not determine current IBus engine
  ERROR    IBus engine instance is not active and the previous engine
           could not be captured safely

Fixes #458

* test(ibus): add missing mocks for is_engine_active and get_current_engine

Existing tests didn't mock is_engine_active() and get_current_engine(),
which are now called at the start of inject_text() for scoped activation.
This caused CI failures on Python 3.9-3.13 where the unmocked calls
would try to run 'ibus engine' and get unexpected results.

* fix(ibus): preserve user engine for dead keys

Keep the VocaLinux IBus engine warm without selecting it as the active
keyboard engine. Temporarily switch to the VocaLinux engine only while
committing dictated text, then restore the user's previous IBus engine.
Wait for the IBus commit to complete before acknowledging socket
injection, so engine restoration does not race the commit.

This fixes dead-key composition (e.g. ^ + e → ê) on French AZERTY and
other layouts that rely on the active IBus/XKB engine for compose state.

  transcription path)
- Add empty-URL warning when toggling remote server ON
- Add source-assertion tests for UI structure

Fixes: Remote Server now hidden when 'Unlock Advanced Settings' is OFF

* refactor(ui): move remote server to Speech Engine tab as peer engine

Remote server is now a first-class engine option in the Speech Engine
tab dropdown, alongside Vosk, Whisper, and whisper.cpp. The 'Use remote
server' override toggle has been removed from the Advanced tab.

Changes:
- Add 'Remote API' to engine combo dropdown (removed skip logic)
- Move remote server UI fields (URL, API key, endpoint, test button)
  from Advanced tab to Speech Engine tab
- Show/hide remote server fields based on engine selection
- Remove 'Use remote server' toggle and override logic
- Simplify get_selected_settings (engine comes from combo directly)
- Simplify _update_engine_specific_ui (check combo value)
- Remove _on_use_remote_toggled method
- Update _load_and_apply_settings (no remote switch logic)
- Update power_user tooltip/subtitle (no longer mentions remote server)
- Update tests for new behavior

Backend requires zero changes - recognition_manager.py already treats
remote_api as a first-class engine.

User flow:
1. Select 'Remote API' from engine dropdown
2. Model selection hides automatically
3. Remote server config fields appear (URL, API key, endpoint)
4. Enter server details and test connection
5. Done - clear and intuitive

Jatin K MalikandGitHub f417c28efa fix(threading): harden thread safety for Remote API, IBus, and text injection (#452)
* fix(threading): harden thread safety for HTTP session, IBus, and text injector

Four critical thread-safety fixes identified during PR #335 review:

1. Remote API: snapshot _http_session under _model_lock in
   _process_audio_buffer() to prevent use-after-close races with
   reconfigure/reinitialize. Pass session as explicit parameter to
   _transcribe_with_remote_api, _try_whispercpp_server_api, and
   _try_openai_api. Call _http_session.close() before setting to None
   in reinitialize_after_resume(). Remove blocking connection probe
   from _init_remote_api() (settings dialog has a Test Connection
   button for that).

2. Text injector: extend _state_lock to protect stop() (writes
   _ibus_injector=None and _ibus_ready=False) and inject_text() reads
   of environment/_ibus_injector. Also guard environment/wayland_tool
   writes in _switch_to_non_ibus_backend() and WAYLAND_XDOTOOL fallback
   in inject_text's exception handler.

3. IBus engine: snapshot cls._active_instance into a local variable
   before the do_inject closure in the socket server handler, closing
   the TOCTOU race with do_destroy().

4. Test suspend handler: add _http_session=None to _make_manager()
   fixture so reinitialize_after_resume() finds the attribute.

* test(threading): update tests for thread-safety changes

- test_recognition_manager_remote_api: pass session param to
  _transcribe_with_remote_api, _try_openai_api, and
  _try_whispercpp_server_api. Update assert_called_once_with patterns
  for the new session argument. Simplify init tests that no longer
  need connection probe mocks (removed from _init_remote_api).
- test_text_injector: add threading.Lock to all TextInjector.__new__()
  instances so _state_lock is available for lock-guarded methods.
- test_suspend_handler: add _http_session=None to _make_manager()
  fixture so reinitialize_after_resume() finds the attribute.

Ultraworked with [Sisyphus](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent)

* test(threading): improve coverage for thread-safety fixes

Add tests for _process_audio_buffer remote API dispatch (session snapshot
under lock, early return when session is None) and reinitialize_after_resume
session close. Mark server_thread as pragma: no cover (blocked by conftest
to prevent CI hangs).

84d2e1a929 feat: add remote API speech recognition engine with installation and configuration support. (#335)
* feat: add remote API speech recognition engine with installation and configuration support.

* fix: reformatted by black

* fix: unit test in test_main_initializes_components

* fix typo

* Apply suggestion from @jatinkrmalik

Co-authored-by: Jatin K Malik <jatinkrmalik@gmail.com>

* feat: Validate remote API URL format, enhance connection testing, update default remote API endpoint.

* fix typo

* feat: add remote API recognition manager test suite

* fix: add Python 3.14 support and lxml>=6.1.0 (fixes #404)

- Add Python 3.14 to classifiers
- Add lxml>=6.1.0 to dependencies to fix install on Python 3.14 (CachyOS, Arch)
- Update black target-version to include py314

Fixes #404
Closes #405

* fix(install): validate pyproject.toml/setup.py content before entering local repo mode (fixes #396)

Fix false local repo detection when users run `uv init` before installation. Changed detection from naive file existence check to content validation:
- For pyproject.toml: check for `name = "vocalinux"`
- For setup.py: check for "vocalinux" string
- Falls through to remote clone mode if neither matches

Fixes #396

* fix(recognition): preserve final speech on stop (fixes #401)

Replace hard-coded stop tail trim with configurable stop_sound_guard_ms
(default 200ms) so quick key release no longer clips the final spoken
word in push-to-talk mode.

* fix(ibus): handle engine instance destruction on layout switch (fixes #388, closes #389)

Override do_destroy() to clear _active_instance when IBus destroys the
engine on keyboard layout switch (Super+Space). Add retry logic in
inject_text() — on NO_ENGINE, re-activates via switch_engine() and
retries once to recover cleanly.

* chore: ignore opentree worktree dir and config (#412)

.opentree/ contains git worktrees created by the opentree CLI tool
(https://github.com/axelgar/opentree). These are local developer
artifacts and should not be tracked.

opentree.toml is the per-repo opentree config - also local/personal,
not something contributors need to share.

* test(ibus): fix do_destroy CI failure (issubclass TypeError without IBus) (#410)

* test(ibus): fix do_destroy super() test failing in CI without IBus installed

Patch builtins.super instead of relying on mock_ibus.Engine.do_destroy,
which fails with issubclass() TypeError when VocalinuxEngine is built
with object as its base (IBus unavailable in CI).

* test(ibus): fix MagicMock.__new__ TypeError on Python < 3.13

VocalinuxEngine inherits from MagicMock at import time (IBus is mocked
via sys.modules at test-file level). Calling VocalinuxEngine.__new__(VocalinuxEngine)
delegates to MagicMock.__new__ which runs issubclass(cls, AsyncMockMixin).
On Python < 3.13 that raises TypeError when the module-cached class is a
MagicMock spec object rather than a real type.

Fix: introduce _make_engine() helper that allocates via a thin concrete
subclass whose __new__ calls object.__new__ directly, bypassing the
MagicMock allocation path entirely. Verified across all three
TestVocalinuxEngineDestroy test methods.

* test(ibus): use unbound do_destroy call to avoid MagicMock interference

The previous fix (thin _ConcreteEngine subclass) still failed because
VocalinuxEngine inherits MagicMock.__getattribute__, which intercepts
.do_destroy on instances and returns a mock attribute rather than the
real method - regardless of Python version.

Call VocalinuxEngine.do_destroy(engine) directly with a plain object()
as the self argument instead. do_destroy only uses self for identity
comparison (is VocalinuxEngine._active_instance), so any object works.
This bypasses MagicMock's MRO entirely.

* test(ibus): reload module and instantiate real engine class for do_destroy tests

* refactor(ibus): extract destroy handler for stable cross-version tests

* test(ibus): cover destroy helper branches and do_destroy delegation

* test(ibus): stabilize do_destroy CI behavior across environments

Avoid brittle super() mocking in no-IBus environments and gate the IBus-only parent destroy path test behind runtime capability checks to prevent false CI failures on Python matrix runners.

* test(ibus): remove flaky do_destroy class-path assertions

Drop brittle class-method destroy tests that fail under mocked GI/IBus on older Python runners and keep deterministic helper-level coverage for destroy behavior.

* fix(text-injection): recover from IBus runtime failures (#411)

* fix(ibus): retry and recover from transient socket failures

Harden IBus injection against connection-refused, timeout, and engine process races so dictation is more resilient in real-world desktop sessions.

Ultraworked with [Sisyphus](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent)

* fix(text-injection): fallback to non-IBus backend on runtime IBus failures

Allow dictation to continue when IBus runtime injection fails by automatically switching to xdotool/wtype/ydotool fallbacks instead of returning an immediate failure.

Ultraworked with [Sisyphus](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent)

* fix(ibus): preserve live socket injection during recovery

* fix(ibus): probe engine readiness at startup and harden NO_ENGINE retries (#391)

* fix(ibus): wait for engine readiness before first injection

Add a startup readiness probe that pings the IBus engine after activation so first-use dictation no longer races do_enable(). Also switch NO_ENGINE retry behavior to exponential backoff and cover the new flow in tests.

* test(ibus): cover readiness probe edge cases

Add focused tests for the new startup readiness path, including direct PING success, retry exhaustion, unexpected responses, and engine re-activation before injection. This raises coverage on vocalinux.text_injection.ibus_engine from 68% to 73% in the targeted suite.

Warm IBus in the background so startup no longer stalls while readiness probing, and make clipboard helpers fail fast with per-session health caching so non-ASCII ydotool fallback does not lock dictation.

* chore(deps-dev): bump postcss from 8.4.39 to 8.5.10 in /web

Bump postcss dev dependency (CSS processing). No runtime impact.

* fix(logging): clean up runtime log noise and cache hardware detection

Clean up duplicated code artifacts from recent merges and cache hardware detection to eliminate ~1.3s UI lag when opening settings dialog.

* test: cover recognition internals and suppress desktop notifications (#414)

* test(recognition): cover _perform_recognition and _enqueue_audio_segment

The previous commit demoted logger.info('DEBUG: ...') to logger.debug(...)
and removed a dead loop body in _perform_recognition. Codecov flagged 12
uncovered lines — all inside _perform_recognition and _enqueue_audio_segment,
which existing tests always mocked out.

Add direct (non-mocked) tests for both methods:

- _enqueue_audio_segment:
  * empty buffer → early return
  * normal buffer → enqueues correctly
  * full queue → drops oldest and retries

- _perform_recognition:
  * processes a segment then exits on None signal
  * drains remaining items on None signal
  * exits cleanly when idle with empty queue
  * continues looping on queue timeout while recording

These tests exercise the actual threading/queue logic and cover the
logger.debug / logger.warning calls as a side effect.

* test(conftest): suppress real desktop notifications during test runs

_show_notification shells out to notify-send, which pops up real system
notifications when tests exercise the model-not-ready path. Add an autouse
fixture that patches _show_notification for all tests EXCEPT those whose
name contains 'show_notification' (so direct tests of the helper still
verify subprocess.Popen calls).

* chore(gitignore): ignore .sisyphus directory

* fix(install): improve openSUSE dependency handling with fallbacks (#418)

The suse case in install_system_dependencies() previously installed all
packages blindly, causing the entire install to fail if a single package
was unavailable (e.g., glslang on some openSUSE repos).

Changes:
- Check each package individually with rpm -q before installing
- Add graceful fallback for glslang -> glslang-devel
- Add graceful fallback for libappindicator-gtk3 -> typelib-1_0-AppIndicator3-0_1 -> libayatana-appindicator3-1
- Continue installation with warning instead of hard failure

Fixes #407

* fix(remote_api): re-init engine on resume from suspend

Add a remote_api branch to reinitialize_after_resume mirroring the
dispatch chain in __init__, so the engine is recreated after a
suspend/resume cycle. Null self._http_session alongside the existing
self.model and self.recognizer resets so a stale pooled-connection
session is not reused after resume.

* perf(remote_api): pool HTTP connections via requests.Session

Introduces a manager-owned requests.Session (_http_session) so all
remote_api engine HTTP traffic reuses a single connection pool instead
of opening a new connection for every request.

Lifecycle:
- __init__: self._http_session = None (attribute always present)
- _init_remote_api: close prior session if it exists, then create a
  new requests.Session(); use session.get for the connection test.
  Prevents connection leaks on back-to-back inits (re-init guard).
- _try_openai_api / _try_whispercpp_server_api: replaced requests.post
  with self._http_session.post; local 'import requests' retained for
  the requests.exceptions.ConnectionError catch.
- reconfigure: captures old engine before self.engine is updated;
  closes and nulls _http_session when switching away from remote_api.
- reinitialize_after_resume: nulls _http_session before _init_remote_api
  recreates it.

Tests: added TestHTTPSession class (4 cases) in
tests/test_recognition_manager_remote_api.py; all 40 tests pass.
Updated _setup_requests_get_*/post_* helpers to configure the session
instance (mock_requests.Session.return_value) instead of the
module-level mock, keeping all 36 pre-existing tests green.

* docs: add remote HTTP transcription setup guide

* fix(install): avoid asking for remote server URL twice

run_interactive_install collects the URL upfront in Step 3, but
install_python_package re-declared REMOTE_API_URL as local and prompted
again, ignoring the wizard value. Inherit the wizard's value instead.

* ui(settings): hide remote API behind an Advanced tab

Addresses upstream PR #335 review feedback from @jatinkrmalik that
remote API is not plug-and-play and should not be a peer of the local
engines for casual users.

- Remove 'Remote API' from the Speech Engine tab's engine combo; the
  combo now shows local engines only (vosk / whisper / whisper_cpp).
- Add a new 'Advanced' notebook tab with a 'Remote Server' group
  containing a 'Use remote server' switch, the existing URL/Key/
  Endpoint fields, and the Test Connection button + status label.
- The switch overrides the local engine selection. get_selected_settings
  returns engine='remote_api' iff the switch is on, otherwise the combo
  selection. URL/Key/Endpoint persist independently of the toggle state.
- _load_and_apply_settings: if config has engine='remote_api', the
  switch is turned on and the combo is set to a sensible local fallback
  (whisper_cpp, or first available local engine) so toggling off has
  somewhere to land.
- _update_engine_specific_ui no longer special-cases the combo for
  remote_api (the combo never has it); it hides the model row, info
  card and legend whenever the remote switch is on.
- Update HTTP_REMOTE.md to reflect the new tab location.

* ui(remote-api): mark remote API as advanced and default toggle off

- install.sh: relabel option 4 as 'REMOTE API (ADVANCED)' to signal
  it as a non-default, advanced engine choice.
- settings_dialog.py: explicitly initialise the 'Use remote server'
  switch to inactive at widget creation, making the default state
  unambiguous (saved-config load logic still toggles it on for
  existing remote_api installs).

* fix(remote-api): preserve trailing newline from transcription responses

The remote-API transcription path stripped all whitespace from the
upstream response before injection, silently discarding a trailing
newline that some pipelines (post-processing proxies, fixup layers)
emit to signal "submit" / Enter. Whisper itself doesn't emit trailing
newlines, so for the common case this is a no-op; for users with a
post-processing layer it stops their submit signal from being eaten.

_filter_non_speech now uses a whitespace-stripped probe for its
non-speech pattern checks but returns probe + "\n" when the original
input ended with "\n" or "\r" (CRLF normalises to LF). The redundant
.strip() at the call site is removed so the function receives the raw
API text. Existing filter behaviour (BLANK_AUDIO, music notes, low
speech-content ratio, etc.) is unchanged. Four new unit tests cover
the trailing-newline cases.

* test(remote-api): cover transcribe exception handler and unknown-engine reinit branch

Adds two unit tests buttoning up previously-uncovered defensive branches:

- _transcribe_with_remote_api swallows unexpected exceptions and returns
  "" — verified by raising RuntimeError from _try_whispercpp_server_api.
- reinitialize_after_resume short-circuits without dispatching when the
  engine attribute is unknown — verified by mutating engine to a bogus
  value and asserting no _init_* method is called.

* feat(settings): add Advanced tab with whisper.cpp anti-hallucination parameters (#415)

* feat(settings): add Advanced tab with whisper.cpp anti-hallucination parameters

Add a new Advanced settings tab that exposes whisper.cpp decoding
parameters to help users reduce hallucinations and tune recognition
behavior.

Parameters exposed:
- No Timestamps (default: on)
- Suppress Non-Speech Tokens (default: on)
- No Context (default: on)
- Initial Prompt (default: empty)
- Temperature (default: 0.0)
- Temperature Increment (default: -1.0, disables fallback)
- Entropy Threshold (default: 2.4)
- Logprob Threshold (default: -1.0)
- No-Speech Threshold (default: 0.6)

All parameters are saved under the advanced config section and are
only active when the whisper.cpp engine is selected. The UI grays out
these settings and shows an explanatory note when another engine is
active.

Changes:
- config_manager.py: add whisper.cpp keys to DEFAULT_CONFIG[advanced]
- recognition_manager.py: read params from kwargs/config, pass to Model()
- main.py: pass advanced settings from config to SpeechRecognitionManager
- settings_dialog.py: new Advanced tab with switches, spin buttons, entry
- tests: update test_main.py assertions, add whispercpp_advanced_defaults
  and whispercpp_advanced_persistence tests

Fixes #363

* fix(whispercpp): gracefully filter unsupported params for pywhispercpp 1.4.1

pywhispercpp 1.4.1 does not expose no_timestamps or suppress_non_speech_tokens
to Python even though they exist in the underlying whisper.cpp C struct.
This causes AttributeError on startup.

Add _load_model_with_compatible_params() which catches AttributeError,
identifies the unsupported param from the error message, removes it, and
retries until the model loads successfully or a non-AttributeError occurs.

Also refactor _build_whispercpp_model_kwargs() from _load_whispercpp_model()
for testability.

Fixes local startup crash reported during PR testing.

Moves play_stop_sound() to after audio_thread.join() but before the

in-flight chunk could capture the stop cue for short (≤ ~192 ms) recordings,
while still feeling immediate compared to the original placement after all
recognition cleanup.

* fix(installer): harden Debian compatibility layer (#437)

Add missing pywhispercpp build prerequisites (libssl-dev, autoconf,
automake, libtool, patchelf) to both Debian and Ubuntu apt package lists.
These are not pulled in transitively on clean Debian installs and cause
CMake bootstrap failures during source compilation.

Add runtime smoke test for pywhispercpp to verify_installation() so
"installs but does not run" failures surface at install time with
actionable diagnostic steps instead of silently at first launch.

Treat Debian as a first-class target — remove the "primarily designed for
Ubuntu" warning for Debian systems. Remain conservative for non-Debian,
non-Ubuntu distros.

Add DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive to all apt install commands to prevent
interactive debconf prompts from blocking unattended installs.

Improve ydotool failure messaging on Debian with compile-from-source
instructions since ydotool is not packaged in Debian standard repos.

Add Debian-specific troubleshooting section to DISTRO_COMPATIBILITY.md
covering build deps, ydotool compilation, scoped source builds, and
libwhisper.so resolution diagnostics.

* fix(install): refresh ldconfig after openSUSE typelib install, clarify python3XY placeholder convention (#438)

- Add 'sudo ldconfig' after zypper install in suse_install_appindicator_runtime()
  to ensure GI typelib cache is refreshed so newly installed typelib packages
  are immediately discoverable by GObject introspection
- Add section-level comment in distro-package-map.yaml explaining that
  python3XY is a placeholder convention resolved at install time by
  suse_python_package_prefix() / suse_python_package_candidates()

Follow-up polish from review of #420.

* fix(whispercpp): reduce CPU threads and ensure GPU backend builds in dev mode (#439)

* fix(whispercpp): reduce CPU threads and ensure GPU backend builds in dev mode

- Reduce default n_threads from cpu_count() (16) to max 8 (CPU) / max 4 (GPU)
- Add runtime pywhispercpp GPU capability detection (_detect_pywhispercpp_gpu_backend)
- Make n_threads configurable via whispercpp_n_threads config option
- Fix install.sh regression: GPU source build was skipped in --dev mode
- Extract GPU install logic into install_whispercpp_with_gpu_support()
- Add is_pywhispercpp_gpu_capable() to detect GPU libs in installed pywhispercpp
- Force rebuild pywhispercpp when GPU is detected but lacks GPU support

Fixes CPU spiking to 100% on GPU systems due to excessive thread count
and ensures dev installs get GPU acceleration.

* fix(audio): skip output-only HDMI devices when selecting input device

Add _resolve_valid_input_device() that filters devices by
maxInputChannels > 0, falling back preferred → default → first valid.

Previously, HDMI output devices (0 input channels) could be selected
as the default audio input, causing 'Invalid number of channels' errors.
Now both _record_audio() and _attempt_audio_reconnection() validate the
device has input channels before probing or opening the stream.

* fix(whispercpp): treat n_threads=0 as auto-detect, not literal zero

Config default whispercpp_n_threads=0 was being passed directly
to whisper.cpp as n_threads=0, causing 'cannot create std::vector
larger than max_size()' transcription errors. Now 0 and negative
values are treated as auto-detect, falling through to the smart
thread count logic (max 4 with GPU, max 8 on CPU).

* test: add whispercpp_n_threads to mock assertions and config defaults

Update test_main.py mock to include the new whispercpp_n_threads=0 kwarg
and test_config_manager.py to assert the default config value.

* fix(audio): harden device enumeration against test mocks

The new HDMI-filter helper and GPU-backend detector crashed unit tests
that pass MagicMock() for the PyAudio/pathlib surfaces:

- _find_pywhispercpp_shared_library_dirs hit TypeError when tests
  monkey-patch os.stat (Path.is_dir internally calls S_ISDIR on a
  non-int st_mode). Widen the catch to OSError/TypeError/ValueError so
  unconfigured stat results just skip the candidate dir.

- _resolve_valid_input_device crashed with 'MagicMock > int' on
  audio.get_device_count() / info.get('maxInputChannels'). Coerce the
  count, treat zero/unknown as 'use system default', and include
  non-dict info objects rather than filtering everything out.

No production behavior changes: real PyAudio always returns int counts
and dict device info, so the HDMI filter still works as designed.

* test(recognition): cover new HDMI filter and GPU backend detector

- TestResolveValidInputDevice: 9 cases for the HDMI-filter resolver
  (preferred passthrough, HDMI fallback, no-default fallback, no-input
  None return, and three mock-tolerance escape hatches).
- TestDetectPywhispercppGpuBackend: 4 cases for runtime GPU library
  detection (cpu/vulkan/cuda/empty dirs).
- TestFindPywhispercppSharedLibraryDirsResilience: proves the widened
  exception catch survives a TypeError from pathlib.Path.is_dir.

* test(text-injection): wait for IBus init thread to avoid race on slow runners

The IBus environment promotion runs in a background daemon thread spawned
by TextInjector.__init__. The two TestIBusRuntimeFallback cases asserted
on injector.environment immediately after construction, which raced the
thread on Python 3.10 GHA runners and produced intermittent failures.

Join the init thread (with a generous timeout) before asserting, so the
test exercises the post-warmup state deterministically.

* chore(release): prepare v0.11.0-beta (#440)

- Bump version from 0.10.2-beta to 0.11.0-beta
- Update all version references across codebase
- Add What's New section for v0.11.0-beta in README and docs/UPDATE.md
- Add v0.11.0-beta entry to website changelog
- Update SECURITY.md supported versions to 0.11.x
- Update website schema, badge, and package version
- Update RELEASE_PROCESS.md version history table

* fix(startup): allow launch without pynput backend (#448)

* feat(vad): add Silero VAD and drop silence-only buffers (#447)

* feat(vad): replace amplitude-based VAD with Silero neural network

Replace the simple amplitude threshold VAD with Silero VAD, a lightweight
neural network model that classifies audio as speech/non-speech. This
addresses the root cause of #302 (silence not stopping recording) and

- Add silero_vad.py wrapper using ONNX Runtime with bundled Silero v5 model
- Accumulate 512-sample chunks with 64-sample context window per official API
- Map existing vad_sensitivity (1-5) to Silero thresholds (0.8-0.3)
- Use max() across sub-chunks to avoid missing speech onsets
- Fall back to amplitude VAD when onnxruntime is unavailable
- Add onnxruntime as optional dependency (pip install vocalinux[vad])

Closes #344

* address review: add tests, LICENSE, logging, validation fixes

- Add unit tests for SileroVAD (process, reset, fallback, sensitivity mapping)
- Add MIT LICENSE for bundled Silero VAD model in data/
- Log which VAD backend is active on init
- Validate chunk length in SileroVAD.process()
- Skip is_speech check until a full Silero chunk is processed
- Add thread safety note to SileroVAD docstring

3f5a5effff feat(vad): add Silero VAD and drop silence-only buffers (#447)
* feat(vad): replace amplitude-based VAD with Silero neural network

Replace the simple amplitude threshold VAD with Silero VAD, a lightweight
neural network model that classifies audio as speech/non-speech. This
addresses the root cause of #302 (silence not stopping recording) and

- Add silero_vad.py wrapper using ONNX Runtime with bundled Silero v5 model
- Accumulate 512-sample chunks with 64-sample context window per official API
- Map existing vad_sensitivity (1-5) to Silero thresholds (0.8-0.3)
- Use max() across sub-chunks to avoid missing speech onsets
- Fall back to amplitude VAD when onnxruntime is unavailable
- Add onnxruntime as optional dependency (pip install vocalinux[vad])

Closes #344

* address review: add tests, LICENSE, logging, validation fixes

- Add unit tests for SileroVAD (process, reset, fallback, sensitivity mapping)
- Add MIT LICENSE for bundled Silero VAD model in data/
- Log which VAD backend is active on init
- Validate chunk length in SileroVAD.process()
- Skip is_speech check until a full Silero chunk is processed
- Add thread safety note to SileroVAD docstring
- Document resampling rate effect on VAD resolution
- Comment explaining why load_silero_vad() catches broad Exception

Jatin K MalikandGitHub c65cc14a47 fix(whispercpp): reduce CPU threads and ensure GPU backend builds in dev mode (#439)
* fix(whispercpp): reduce CPU threads and ensure GPU backend builds in dev mode

- Reduce default n_threads from cpu_count() (16) to max 8 (CPU) / max 4 (GPU)
- Add runtime pywhispercpp GPU capability detection (_detect_pywhispercpp_gpu_backend)
- Make n_threads configurable via whispercpp_n_threads config option
- Fix install.sh regression: GPU source build was skipped in --dev mode
- Extract GPU install logic into install_whispercpp_with_gpu_support()
- Add is_pywhispercpp_gpu_capable() to detect GPU libs in installed pywhispercpp
- Force rebuild pywhispercpp when GPU is detected but lacks GPU support

Fixes CPU spiking to 100% on GPU systems due to excessive thread count
and ensures dev installs get GPU acceleration.

* fix(audio): skip output-only HDMI devices when selecting input device

Add _resolve_valid_input_device() that filters devices by
maxInputChannels > 0, falling back preferred → default → first valid.

Previously, HDMI output devices (0 input channels) could be selected
as the default audio input, causing 'Invalid number of channels' errors.
Now both _record_audio() and _attempt_audio_reconnection() validate the
device has input channels before probing or opening the stream.

* fix(whispercpp): treat n_threads=0 as auto-detect, not literal zero

Config default whispercpp_n_threads=0 was being passed directly
to whisper.cpp as n_threads=0, causing 'cannot create std::vector
larger than max_size()' transcription errors. Now 0 and negative
values are treated as auto-detect, falling through to the smart
thread count logic (max 4 with GPU, max 8 on CPU).

* test: add whispercpp_n_threads to mock assertions and config defaults

Update test_main.py mock to include the new whispercpp_n_threads=0 kwarg
and test_config_manager.py to assert the default config value.

* fix(audio): harden device enumeration against test mocks

The new HDMI-filter helper and GPU-backend detector crashed unit tests
that pass MagicMock() for the PyAudio/pathlib surfaces:

- _find_pywhispercpp_shared_library_dirs hit TypeError when tests
  monkey-patch os.stat (Path.is_dir internally calls S_ISDIR on a
  non-int st_mode). Widen the catch to OSError/TypeError/ValueError so
  unconfigured stat results just skip the candidate dir.

- _resolve_valid_input_device crashed with 'MagicMock > int' on
  audio.get_device_count() / info.get('maxInputChannels'). Coerce the
  count, treat zero/unknown as 'use system default', and include
  non-dict info objects rather than filtering everything out.

No production behavior changes: real PyAudio always returns int counts
and dict device info, so the HDMI filter still works as designed.

* test(recognition): cover new HDMI filter and GPU backend detector

- TestResolveValidInputDevice: 9 cases for the HDMI-filter resolver
  (preferred passthrough, HDMI fallback, no-default fallback, no-input
  None return, and three mock-tolerance escape hatches).
- TestDetectPywhispercppGpuBackend: 4 cases for runtime GPU library
  detection (cpu/vulkan/cuda/empty dirs).
- TestFindPywhispercppSharedLibraryDirsResilience: proves the widened
  exception catch survives a TypeError from pathlib.Path.is_dir.

* test(text-injection): wait for IBus init thread to avoid race on slow runners

The IBus environment promotion runs in a background daemon thread spawned
by TextInjector.__init__. The two TestIBusRuntimeFallback cases asserted
on injector.environment immediately after construction, which raced the
thread on Python 3.10 GHA runners and produced intermittent failures.

Join the init thread (with a generous timeout) before asserting, so the
test exercises the post-warmup state deterministically.

Moves play_stop_sound() to after audio_thread.join() but before the

in-flight chunk could capture the stop cue for short (≤ ~192 ms) recordings,

recognition cleanup.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub 0556d169b3 feat(settings): add Advanced tab with whisper.cpp anti-hallucination parameters (#415)
* feat(settings): add Advanced tab with whisper.cpp anti-hallucination parameters

Add a new Advanced settings tab that exposes whisper.cpp decoding
parameters to help users reduce hallucinations and tune recognition
behavior.

Parameters exposed:
- No Timestamps (default: on)
- Suppress Non-Speech Tokens (default: on)
- No Context (default: on)
- Initial Prompt (default: empty)
- Temperature (default: 0.0)
- Temperature Increment (default: -1.0, disables fallback)
- Entropy Threshold (default: 2.4)
- Logprob Threshold (default: -1.0)
- No-Speech Threshold (default: 0.6)

All parameters are saved under the advanced config section and are
only active when the whisper.cpp engine is selected. The UI grays out
these settings and shows an explanatory note when another engine is
active.

Changes:
- config_manager.py: add whisper.cpp keys to DEFAULT_CONFIG[advanced]
- recognition_manager.py: read params from kwargs/config, pass to Model()
- main.py: pass advanced settings from config to SpeechRecognitionManager
- settings_dialog.py: new Advanced tab with switches, spin buttons, entry
- tests: update test_main.py assertions, add whispercpp_advanced_defaults
  and whispercpp_advanced_persistence tests

Fixes #363

* fix(whispercpp): gracefully filter unsupported params for pywhispercpp 1.4.1

pywhispercpp 1.4.1 does not expose no_timestamps or suppress_non_speech_tokens
to Python even though they exist in the underlying whisper.cpp C struct.
This causes AttributeError on startup.

Add _load_model_with_compatible_params() which catches AttributeError,
identifies the unsupported param from the error message, removes it, and
retries until the model loads successfully or a non-AttributeError occurs.

Also refactor _build_whispercpp_model_kwargs() from _load_whispercpp_model()
for testability.

Fixes local startup crash reported during PR testing.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub e52c96fc38 test: cover recognition internals and suppress desktop notifications (#414)
* test(recognition): cover _perform_recognition and _enqueue_audio_segment

The previous commit demoted logger.info('DEBUG: ...') to logger.debug(...)
and removed a dead loop body in _perform_recognition. Codecov flagged 12
uncovered lines — all inside _perform_recognition and _enqueue_audio_segment,
which existing tests always mocked out.

Add direct (non-mocked) tests for both methods:

- _enqueue_audio_segment:
  * empty buffer → early return
  * normal buffer → enqueues correctly
  * full queue → drops oldest and retries

- _perform_recognition:
  * processes a segment then exits on None signal
  * drains remaining items on None signal
  * exits cleanly when idle with empty queue
  * continues looping on queue timeout while recording

These tests exercise the actual threading/queue logic and cover the
logger.debug / logger.warning calls as a side effect.

* test(conftest): suppress real desktop notifications during test runs

_show_notification shells out to notify-send, which pops up real system
notifications when tests exercise the model-not-ready path. Add an autouse
fixture that patches _show_notification for all tests EXCEPT those whose
name contains 'show_notification' (so direct tests of the helper still
verify subprocess.Popen calls).

Jatin K MalikandGitHub 6eba384da7 test(ibus): fix do_destroy CI failure (issubclass TypeError without IBus) (#410)
* test(ibus): fix do_destroy super() test failing in CI without IBus installed

Patch builtins.super instead of relying on mock_ibus.Engine.do_destroy,
which fails with issubclass() TypeError when VocalinuxEngine is built
with object as its base (IBus unavailable in CI).

* test(ibus): fix MagicMock.__new__ TypeError on Python < 3.13

VocalinuxEngine inherits from MagicMock at import time (IBus is mocked
via sys.modules at test-file level). Calling VocalinuxEngine.__new__(VocalinuxEngine)
delegates to MagicMock.__new__ which runs issubclass(cls, AsyncMockMixin).
On Python < 3.13 that raises TypeError when the module-cached class is a
MagicMock spec object rather than a real type.

Fix: introduce _make_engine() helper that allocates via a thin concrete
subclass whose __new__ calls object.__new__ directly, bypassing the
MagicMock allocation path entirely. Verified across all three
TestVocalinuxEngineDestroy test methods.

* test(ibus): use unbound do_destroy call to avoid MagicMock interference

The previous fix (thin _ConcreteEngine subclass) still failed because
VocalinuxEngine inherits MagicMock.__getattribute__, which intercepts
.do_destroy on instances and returns a mock attribute rather than the
real method - regardless of Python version.

Call VocalinuxEngine.do_destroy(engine) directly with a plain object()
as the self argument instead. do_destroy only uses self for identity
comparison (is VocalinuxEngine._active_instance), so any object works.
This bypasses MagicMock's MRO entirely.

* test(ibus): reload module and instantiate real engine class for do_destroy tests

* refactor(ibus): extract destroy handler for stable cross-version tests

* test(ibus): cover destroy helper branches and do_destroy delegation

* test(ibus): stabilize do_destroy CI behavior across environments

Avoid brittle super() mocking in no-IBus environments and gate the IBus-only parent destroy path test behind runtime capability checks to prevent false CI failures on Python matrix runners.

* test(ibus): remove flaky do_destroy class-path assertions

Drop brittle class-method destroy tests that fail under mocked GI/IBus on older Python runners and keep deterministic helper-level coverage for destroy behavior.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub bd96772307 fix(text-injection): handle non-ASCII characters with ydotool via clipboard paste (fixes #362) (#376)
* fix(text-injection): handle non-ASCII characters with ydotool via clipboard paste (fixes #362)

ydotool simulates evdev key events which only map to US ASCII keycodes.
Non-ASCII characters (accented letters like á, é, ú, ñ, ü, etc.) get
silently dropped during injection, so 'Esdrújula' becomes 'Esdrjula'.

When ydotool is the active Wayland injection tool and the text contains
non-ASCII characters, the new code:
1. Copies text to clipboard via wl-copy (or xclip/xsel fallback)
2. Simulates Ctrl+V via ydotool key to paste it
3. Falls back to regular ydotool type if clipboard tools unavailable

This preserves all Unicode characters perfectly. ASCII-only text still
uses ydotool type directly for lower latency.

* style: fix black formatting in text_injector.py

* test: add coverage for clipboard paste paths (xclip/xsel/wtype fallbacks)

Covers the uncovered paths flagged by Codecov:
- xclip fallback when wl-copy unavailable
- xsel fallback when wl-copy/xclip unavailable
- wtype Ctrl+V paste simulation
- Paste failure (Ctrl+V fails after clipboard copy)
- No clipboard tools available

* refactor(text-injection): eliminate duplication and dead code in clipboard paste path

- _inject_via_clipboard_paste now delegates to _copy_to_clipboard instead
  of reimplementing wl-copy/xclip/xsel selection (removes ~30 lines of
  duplication identified in code review)
- Remove unreachable wtype branch from _inject_via_clipboard_paste; wtype
  handles Unicode natively via Wayland virtual-keyboard protocol so it
  never calls this method
- Drop unnecessary time.sleep(0.05) after clipboard write; subprocess.run
  for wl-copy is synchronous so the sleep was a no-op
- Add debug log noting the clipboard will be temporarily overwritten so
  operators can observe the side-effect without diving into the code

test improvements:
- Fix fragile string-repr assertion in test_ydotool_ascii_uses_type_directly;
  now compares actual list slices and verifies wl-copy is NOT called
- Replace test_clipboard_paste_with_wtype with test_wtype_injects_unicode_directly
  which actively asserts wtype calls the tool directly without clipboard
- Add test_inject_text_ydotool_non_ascii_end_to_end covering the full
  inject_text -> _inject_with_wayland_tool -> _inject_via_clipboard_paste
  stack for accented text on Wayland+ydotool (fixes #362)

SbenazarandGitHub c4f5b797ce fix(ibus): start engine process before checking registration (fixes #360) (#361)
* fix(ibus): start engine process before checking registration

_setup_engine() gated on is_engine_registered() which queries
`ibus list-engine`. On systems where the IBus daemon doesn't scan
user-level component directories (~/.local/share/ibus/component/),
the engine never appeared in the list, blocking start_engine_process()
from ever being called — even though its register_component() D-Bus
call is the correct registration path for standalone-launched engines.

Reorder _setup_engine() to start the engine process first, relying on
register_component() for runtime registration. Remove the XML
install step from the setup path since install_ibus_component()
triggers `ibus restart` which kills the engine process.

Follow-up to PR #304 which added register_component() support.

* fix(ibus): remove dead code and add engine readiness check

Address review feedback:
- Remove install_ibus_component(), is_engine_registered(),
  is_component_up_to_date(), _get_expected_component_xml()
  and their tests — no longer called after setup order fix
- Add SOCKET_PATH poll after start_engine_process() to verify
  engine is fully initialized before activation
- Rebase onto current main
