Fix ESLint errors for hash install links, anonymous default-export
warnings, and the ineffective next.config headers() that warned under
static export. Correct softwareVersion sync to match unquoted JS keys,
and bump Actions to Node-24 runtimes so deprecation notices stop.

Remove Disallow for query-string URLs and /_next/, which caused Google
Search Console "Indexed, though blocked by robots.txt" for legitimate
pages discovered with UTM/tracking params. Canonical tags already handle
duplicate param URLs.

* fix(ui): AppImage smoke fixes for tray icons, labels, and identity
Replace placeholder mic tray SVGs with opaque branded icons, show
whisper.cpp instead of Whisper_cpp, set GLib/AppIndicator identity to
Vocalinux (not main.py), and give About dialog buttons enough padding
so labels are not clipped under Adwaita.
* fix(packaging): harden AppImage build for Wayland and tray deps
Pin the build interpreter, install onnxruntime into the bundle, set
desktop Exec=AppRun + StartupWMClass, prune typelibs to an allowlist
after linuxdeploy, and stop forcing GDK_BACKEND=x11 on Wayland
(VOCALINUX_FORCE_X11=1 remains as an escape hatch). CI AppImage jobs
also pull Ayatana AppIndicator and librsvg SVG loader packages.
* fix(packaging): bundle full stdlib from base_prefix in AppImage
When build.sh runs under a venv, sys.prefix only has site-packages, so
the AppImage was missing encodings and crashed on start. Copy the
interpreter and stdlib from sys.base_prefix, force pip
--ignore-installed into AppDir, set Gdk program class to Vocalinux, and
tone down the muted tray slash so small StatusNotifier icons stay slate.
* fix(tray): use absolute icon paths so stale hicolor icons lose
XFCE StatusNotifier resolves IconName through the system theme and can
ignore IconThemePath. A leftover ~/.local/share/icons placeholder
(vocalinux-microphone-off.svg filled #e74c3c) was winning over the
AppImage's bundled icons. Outside Flatpak, pass absolute SVG paths to
set_icon_full / new_with_path instead of bare theme names.
* feat(web): deslop marketing site with workstation craft identity
Replace generic AI SaaS landing patterns with a deliberate Linux desk
utility look: cool paper palette, Bricolage + Source Sans, solid type,
editorial feature rows, and terminal install as first-class proof.
Adds PRODUCT.md, DESIGN.md, and WEB-DESLOP-NOTES.md. Drops unused geist
and react-intersection-observer. No product claim changes.
* chore(web): drop local deslop working notes from PR
WEB-DESLOP-NOTES.md was a firstmate/session artifact, not product docs.
* fix(web): stop mobile horizontal overflow and harden viewport layout
Long install URLs expanded the page past the phone width. Constrain
terminal pre with break-all, min-w-0 columns, and overflow-x clip.
Tighten mobile hero type and full-width CTAs. Add Playwright viewport
QA script and jest checks that assert no overflow at desktop/tablet/mobile.
* refactor(web): drop browser speech preview from marketing home
Remove the cloud SpeechRecognition demo section and nav Demo link.
Keep product truth: hero install, features, screenshots, engines.
Fold shortcut/engine/audio links into the features intro.
Delete unused LiveDemo component and its unit test.
* chore(web): remove orphaned demo overlay and double-press hook
Only LiveDemo used these; gone with the browser preview section.
* feat(web): borrow PR #546 craft language into deslop home
Merge closed redesign language onto feat/web-deslop-craft: pure white
and near-black iron surfaces, emerald-committed palette, asymmetric
hero with real app screenshots, full-bleed install strip, feature bento
with tray/settings shots, and install-to-dictation steps.
Keep Bricolage + Source Sans (not Geist), no browser speech demo, and
mobile overflow guards. Update screenshots homepage expectations.
* docs(design): align DESIGN.md tokens with PR #546 iron/emerald palette
* fix(web): drop settings screenshot from installer details
Uninstall sat too far below the list once the general-settings shot
was in that column. Keep checklist, requirements, and uninstall only.
* fix(web): raise light-mode primary and footer contrast
Darken light emerald so white button text hits ~5:1 (was 3.4).
Brighten install-strip and footer secondary text for legibility.
Verified light/dark × desktop/tablet/mobile with no overflow.
* fix(web): compact feature cards to kill empty vertical space
Right-column tiles were h-full + justify-between next to a tall
screenshot, so short copy left large voids. Use content-height cards
with denser padding and inline link rows instead.
* fix(web): pair settings shot with full feature rail
Replace three orphan cards beside a tall dialog with a six-row
feature panel that stretches with the screenshot frame. Crop the
settings image with object-cover/object-top so heights match and
no void sits next to the UI shot.
* feat(web): apply homepage craft language to SEO child pages
Rewrite SeoSubpageShell chrome (fixed nav, install pill, iron footer)
to match the deslop home. Add subpage utilities and retoken all
templated child routes: borders, radii, mono kickers, single emerald
accent, terminal panels, no rainbow icon tiles or gradient cards.
* fix(web): avoid invalid @apply hover:border-primary/40 in subpage-card
* fix(web): rewrite subpage CSS without invalid Tailwind @apply
* fix(web): color comparison X icons rose-red on alternatives
Use soft rose (#c45c5c / #e08b8b) for no/cons marks so they read as
distinct from emerald yes/checks without looking like form errors.
* docs(web): move product/design docs under web/ and drop impeccable markers
Keep PRODUCT.md and DESIGN.md next to the Next app (not repo root), add
web/AGENTS.md as the entry point, and point the root AGENTS website
section at those files. Strip tool-specific schema comments.
* fix(web): use icon-only copy control on install terminal
Replace the chunky Copy/Copied chip with a quiet clipboard icon that
turns into a check on success.
* fix(web): restyle system requirements as a spec rail
Replace the nested bullet card with mono-label / value pairs under the
installer section so it matches the craft language used elsewhere.
* fix(web): center engine rows and quiet the Default badge
Align name/badge with multi-line engine details on sm+; replace the
filled green pill with a small mono outline chip.
Tray troubleshooting previously only showed apt, which is wrong on Fedora
and Arch. Document AppIndicator install for Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, and
Arch in INSTALL.md and the website troubleshooting page.
Fixes#570
* chore(release): prepare v0.14.2
IBus stability patch on the 0.14 series: engine process launch after XDG
import (#534) and FocusIn gate for first dictation on GNOME Wayland (#533).
Keep 0.14 series feature list in README/UPDATE for patch releases; changelog
and AppStream note only the delta. Document that rule in RELEASE_PROCESS.
* fix(release): address 0.14.2 review findings
- Dates: v0.14.2 uses 2026-07-17 (not before 0.14.1)
- AUR: sha256sums=SKIP until tag; document updpkgsums in RELEASE_PROCESS
- Single version source: package __init__ re-exports version.py; User-Agent uses __version__
- Docs: drop redundant series recaps; shrink AppStream/changelog delta
- README ecosystem status: Stable v0.14.2 (not Beta)
* docs(release): include settings scroll fixes in 0.14.2 notes
Cover #538 and #541 (scrollable settings tabs / wheel polish) in README,
UPDATE, website changelog, AppStream, and version history after rebasing
onto main.
Patch release for Flatpak/AUR packaging and post-0.14.0 fixes:
installer wrappers, ydotool dual API and Flatpak socket probe, model
download timeouts, layout-aware hotkeys, and related docs/web bumps.
* docs(screenshots): refresh v0.14 settings/About shots and add website gallery
Replace the outdated About dialog screenshot and supersede the old single
settings dialog with the six v0.14.0-beta settings tabs. Keep unique product
shots that have no replacements. Add a dedicated /screenshots/ website page
with header/nav discoverability and a homepage link (no full gallery on home).
* docs(screenshots): drop obsolete features-overview shot
The annotated features overview was the pre-tabbed settings panel and no
longer matches the v0.14 UI. Remove it from README, website gallery, and assets.
* docs(screenshots): ship full-resolution web transcription shot
Restore the original PNG instead of the downscaled copy so the website
gallery matches the repo assets bit-for-bit.
* feat(web): add click-to-expand lightbox on screenshots gallery
Open a full-screen dialog when a shot is clicked, with prev/next controls,
keyboard arrows, Escape to close, and captioned counter for browsing the set.
* fix(web): avoid next/image HMR crash on screenshots gallery
Use plain img tags in the client gallery so dev-mode webpack chunk
reloads do not throw options.factory call errors while hydrating.
Bump brace-expansion, js-yaml, @babel/core, and related transitive
deps via npm audit fix. Override nested postcss so Next.js no longer
pulls vulnerable 8.4.31 (XSS in CSS stringify output).
* chore(release): prepare v0.14.0-beta
- Bump version 0.13.0-beta -> 0.14.0-beta (src/vocalinux/version.py)
- README: refresh What's New for v0.14.0-beta and bump comparison table
- docs/UPDATE.md: add v0.14.0-beta section and bump checkout example
- SECURITY.md: mark 0.14.x supported, 0.13.x unsupported
- docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md: add v0.14.0-beta to version history
- web: bump package.json / package-lock.json / page.tsx schema + badge
- web changelog: add v0.14.0-beta entry
* ci(codecov): allow 0.5% project coverage threshold
Prevents version-bump/docs-only PRs from being blocked by minor
coverage fluctuations (e.g. -0.04% on a release-prep branch).
* docs(release): correct chronological order in version history table
* docs(release): add #509 shortcut UI exclusivity fix to v0.14.0-beta notes
* fix(models): correct download size metadata for whisper.cpp and VOSK
The size_mb values in WHISPERCPP_MODEL_INFO were using parameter counts instead of actual download sizes, causing the UI to display incorrect sizes (e.g., showing 39 MB when actual download is 74 MB). Updated all whisper.cpp models with verified sizes from Hugging Face and adjusted VOSK medium/large sizes to better represent actual downloads.
Ultraworked with [Sisyphus](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent)
* docs: update model download sizes to match actual downloads
Update whisper.cpp size references from parameter counts to verified download sizes (e.g., tiny: 39MB → 74MB, medium: 769MB → 1.5GB, large: 1.5GB → 3.0GB).
Ultraworked with [Sisyphus](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent)
* docs(web): update model sizes across website pages
Sync whisper.cpp size references on gpu-acceleration, compare, whisper-model-guide, offline, and homepage with corrected download sizes.

Reformat 7 test files and pin Black>=26,<27 in CI to prevent
future drift from unpinned version upgrades.
* feat(docs): add Voca Ecosystem section to README and website
Add cross-project ecosystem shoutouts linking VocaLinux, VocaMac, and
VocaWin. README gets a table with platform, project, website, GitHub,
and status columns. Website gets animated cards with platform logos,
tech badges, status indicators, and links.
Uses simpleicons CDN for Apple logo and inline SVG for Windows logo
(simpleicons CDN does not serve a Windows icon).
* feat(web): UI refinements — terminal install boxes, contrast fixes, wider card grids

- whisper.cpp card keeps 'GPU acceleration' link
- FAQ answers: convert to ReactNode with inline links to sub-pages,
fix 6 stale answers (distros, requirements, languages, shortcuts,
voice commands, engine switching)
- Hero buttons: GitHub-dark 'We're Open Source', ghost 'Use Windows
or Mac?'
- Ecosystem: reorder to VocaMac > VocaLinux (center) > VocaWin,
change badge from 'You are here' to 'Beta'
- Remove all em-dashes (9 occurrences)
The install.sh on main now dynamically resolves the latest release tag
via GitHub API (merged in PR #313), so pinning to a specific release tag
in install commands is no longer needed — and was causing users to run
the old hardcoded installer.
Update all curl install command URLs across docs, code, and website from
versioned tags (v0.9.0-beta, v0.8.0-beta) to main/install.sh:
- README.md (4 URLs + note text)

Make SEO landing pages easier to discover and navigate by adding persistent subpage header/footer links to home and key routes. Refresh install and comparison pages with colorful icon-driven sections while expanding homepage footer links for stronger internal linking.
* fix(ci): make web version sync robust to schema location
CI assumed softwareVersion lived in layout.tsx, but SEO refactors moved SoftwareApplication JSON-LD to page.tsx. Update workflow sync steps to patch whichever file currently contains softwareVersion so website build and release jobs keep working.

Drop the internal SEO audit markdown from the PR so only production website and workflow changes are included.
Swap the website Open Graph image with the provided design and regenerate both PNG and WebP assets at the standard 1200x630 share size so previews render consistently across platforms.

tag instead of from main branch with --tag parameter. This ensures:
1. The install script version matches the release being installed
2. No version mismatch between script and code
3. Simpler, cleaner install commands
Changes:
- install.sh: Updated error message to use v0.6.0-beta URL
- README.md: All install commands now use v0.6.0-beta/install.sh
- docs/INSTALL.md: Updated quick install command
- docs/UPDATE.md: Updated update command examples
- docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md: Updated example command
- src/vocalinux/main.py: Updated error message install command
- tests/distro-testing-checklist.md: Updated download URL
- web/src/app/page.tsx: Now uses dynamic tag in URL (not main)
- .github/workflows/release.yml: Release notes use tag-based URL
Before:
curl .../main/install.sh | bash -s -- --tag=v0.6.0-beta
After:
curl .../v0.6.0-beta/install.sh | bash
Fixes version consistency between install script and installed code.
The previous mobile fix broke desktop behavior by only taking the last result.
This fix uses resultIndex properly while also tracking processed results to
prevent duplication on mobile browsers where resultIndex stays at 0.
- Track processed results using a Set to avoid duplication
- Still use resultIndex for proper accumulation on desktop
- Clear processed results when starting a new session
Fixes speech result duplication issue on mobile while restoring
proper accumulation behavior on desktop browsers.
