Jatin K MalikandGitHub 750d64dc9b fix(tray): prefer libayatana-appindicator-glib when available (#1019)
Use the maintained AyatanaAppIndicatorGlib 2.0 indicator when it is installed, mirroring the existing Gtk.Menu into a Gio.Menu whose actions keep stable, never-reused names and fire the original items. Fall back to the GTK 3 indicators otherwise; the AppImage stays on its bundled GTK 3 indicator, and the .deb recommends the glib typelib.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub 3abc106fdb feat(languages): add Slovenian (sl) to the supported languages (#995)
Slovenian was missing from SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES, so the Settings picker did not offer it and normalize_language_shortcuts dropped any shortcut bound to it. Add it as a Whisper-only entry (whisper code sl; alphacephei publishes no Slovenian VOSK model), map the Slovenian XKB layout si to it for follow-keyboard-layout, and list it on the website languages page.

Fixes #970

0ddb127437 fix(commands): keep line breaks from standalone voice commands (#958)
* fix(commands): keep line breaks from standalone voice commands

Two stacked defects ate the newline "new line" / "new paragraph"
produce when spoken alone:

* _normalize_segment_text stripped all leading whitespace, so the
  command's leading newline never reached the injector (a clean
  "new line" segment was dropped entirely).
* whisper.cpp transcripts arrive punctuated ("New line."), which
  missed the exact-match ladder and left a stray "." after the
  substituted break, injected as ". ".

Normalize now strips only spaces/tabs, and the generic path
substitutes on a punctuation-stripped core when the whole segment
is command phrases, so engine edge punctuation cannot leak while
real text keeps it.

Fixes #955

* fix(injection): deliver newline-only segments to the focused app

inject_text treated whitespace-only text as empty and returned early,
so the "\n" a standalone "new line" now correctly produces was
discarded before any backend ran ("Empty text provided, skipping
injection").  Only a truly empty segment is skipped; whitespace-only
input is typed/pasted verbatim (xdotool types "\n" as Return).

Space/tab-only segments never reach this point: segment normalization
strips them upstream.

Fixes #955

* fix(injection): keep skipping space/tab-only segments

The previous commit let every whitespace-only string through, which
also delivered bare spaces and tabs a caller never wants typed.
Narrow the skip to text with no content outside space/tab so "\n"
still reaches the backend while "   " stays a no-op (the pre-existing
test_empty_text_injection contract).

Fixes #955

* fix(injection): deliver newline segments over IBus too

IBusTextInjector.inject_text had the same whitespace guard and dropped
"\n" before it reached the engine socket; narrow it the same way so
a newline-only segment is sent while space/tab-only stays a no-op.

Also let capitalize_sentences uppercase the first letter after leading
whitespace, so Vosk + auto_capitalize keeps working on "\n hello".

Covers Greptile's findings: real-socket test for the IBus path, the
capitalize regression via the main() callback seam, and type hints on
the new injector tests.

Fixes #955

* test(injection): add type hints to new IBus socket test

AGENTS.md requires hints on every signature; the Greptile review
flagged the new test for missing them.

d11bd1bf0d feat(post-processing): pipe transcriptions through an optional postprocessing script (#479)
* feat(post-processing): pipe transcriptions through user-defined script

Add a configurable post-processing step that passes each transcription
result to an external executable via stdin and uses its stdout as the
text to type. Enables custom transforms (formatting, LLM rewriting, etc.)
without modifying Vocalinux. Falls back to original text on script
failure or timeout.

* test(post-processor): add unit tests and extract apply_post_processing

Move config-reading logic from main.py closure into apply_post_processing()
in post_processor.py so it can be tested independently. Add 11 unit tests
covering PostProcessor.process() and apply_post_processing().

* docs(post-processing): document post-processing script feature

* fix formatting of one file

* fix(post-processing): run the user script with a stripped host environment

Rebase compat: the host_process AST guard requires every subprocess
spawned for a host binary to pass env=host_env() so an AppImage's
LD_LIBRARY_PATH/GI_TYPELIB_PATH/PYTHONHOME do not leak in. Also give
apply_post_processing() a typed ConfigManager parameter and keep
text_callback_wrapper's local variable typed as str for mypy.

* fix(post-processing): preserve paragraph breaks and tighten script handling

Take script stdout verbatim instead of rstripping every trailing
newline, so the "new paragraph" voice command's break survives a
passthrough script. A single trailing newline is still dropped, but
only when the transcription had none — it is almost always just the
line terminator echo/print-style tools append.

Also stop writing transformed output to the log (it can carry
sensitive dictation into retained logs), catch only the expected
process/OS/encoding failures instead of every Exception, and add the
missing signature annotations.

* fix(main): run the post-processing script off the recognition thread

A user script may take seconds per segment, and text callbacks run on
the recognition thread that drains the bounded audio-segment queue;
stalling it drops queued dictation once the queue fills. Submit
post-processing and injection to a dedicated single-worker executor so
the backlog waits instead of losing speech, while keeping injection
order. On timeout or failure the worker falls back to the original
text, and an unexpected error is logged with a traceback and still
injects the original rather than silently dropping the segment.

Also pin the callback tests' get_str mock to no-script so they
exercise the synchronous path deterministically, and add a callback
test proving transformed text (including preserved paragraph breaks)
reaches the injector.

* docs(post-processing): annotate new callbacks and clarify stdout contract

Add the missing type annotations on the new Settings page callbacks
per the repository guide, and document that script stdout is used
verbatim (a lone trailing newline added by line-oriented tools is
dropped only when the transcription had none) and that scripts run on
a dedicated worker.

* test(main): annotate new post-processing callback tests

* fix(main): bind queued dictation to its target app and drain worker on quit

Route every transcription segment through the single post-processing
worker (a pass-through when no script is configured) so clearing the
script path mid-queue can no longer let a later segment overtake an
earlier one still running.

A segment that can sit in the backlog — a script is configured or a job
is still running — is bound to the application focused when it was
dictated; the worker drops it if focus has verifiably moved to another
application, so delayed dictation cannot land in the wrong app.

Wire the worker into the tray quit path via an on_quit hook: it clears
the acceptance flag, cancels pending jobs, and waits — bounded by the
script's own timeout — so nothing injects after the injector stops.

* fix(main): keep voice actions ordered and probe focus off the recognition thread

- Queue voice-command actions on the post-processing worker so an action
  can no longer overtake dictated text still waiting to be injected.
- Move the submit-time focus probe onto a dedicated executor; the
  recognition thread only submits the probe, and the job joins the result
  at inject time, so compositor tools can no longer stall consumption of
  the bounded audio-segment queue.
- Re-check the quit flag after the inject-time focus re-probe, then shut
  both workers down without waiting on a running script so quitting does
  not freeze on the script timeout.

* fix(main): capture submit-time focus on dedicated threads and serialize quit

- Replace the shared focus-probe executor with a fresh daemon thread per
  submission so a slow earlier probe cannot delay a later one past the
  focus change it is meant to capture; jobs read the result off a
  one-slot queue at inject time.
- Give queued voice actions the same submit-time focus binding as text
  segments so a queued shortcut is dropped instead of fired into a newly
  focused application.
- Hold injection_lock across the accept-check plus inject/action call so
  quit waits only for an in-flight injection instead of racing it.
- Queue the IDLE reset of last_injected_text behind pending worker jobs
  so a queued 'delete that' still sees the text it targets.

* fix(main): keep actions instant on a free worker and bound quit wait

- An action now starts a submit-time focus probe only when it actually
  queues behind other jobs; with a free worker there is no delay window
  to bind against, so the probe's compositor calls are skipped and the
  action stays immediate even when a script is configured.
- Probe and executor submission now happen inside pending_jobs_lock so
  queue order matches callback order — a job that saw an empty queue can
  no longer slip behind one that arrived while it was submitting.
- Every inject-path subprocess call (xdotool window/key/type, wtype and
  ydotool type) is bounded by a timeout, and the quit hook's
  injection_lock wait is capped, so quitting can no longer freeze on a
  stalled injector subprocess.

* fix(main): bind every action to submit-time focus without slowing it down

- Every voice action now starts a submit-time focus probe: submission
  never guarantees immediate execution, so skipping the binding left a
  focus-change window in which a shortcut could fire into another app.
  The worker waits on the probe for at most one second — milliseconds
  on a healthy desktop — so immediate actions stay immediate while a
  genuinely stalled probe falls back to the injector's own targeting.
- Quit waits for an in-flight injection without a cap again: every
  inject-path subprocess is individually bounded, so the wait always
  ends with the injection and a long transcription is never cut off.
- The wtype/ydotool typing timeout is now derived from the configured
  per-key delay (a generous multiple), so a legitimately slow type can
  never be cut mid-text; a timed-out type no longer falls through to
  the clipboard fallback, which would duplicate the partial fragment.

* fix(main): drop unverified actions and make quit-time injection abortable

- An action whose submit-time focus probe cannot answer inside its
  one-second bound is now dropped instead of running unverified: a
  stalled probe can no longer leave a shortcut pointing at whatever
  application happens to be focused.
- Quit asks the injector to abort in-flight injections, and injection
  paths honour it: the xdotool chunk loop stops between chunks, the
  wtype/ydotool type call runs as a polling Popen that can be killed,
  and paste/shortcut/backspace entry points exit early. The quit hook
  still waits for an in-flight injection, but the wait is bounded by at
  most one already-running subprocess call — never the injection's full
  length — and no subprocess is ever stopped mid-call by a timeout cap
  on the wait itself.
- Annotate the remaining untyped test helpers.

* fix(main): wait out slow focus probes; restore run() in wayland typing

- An action no longer races its submit-time focus probe on a one-second
  bound: the job waits for the probe's own answer, whose compositor
  calls already carry per-call timeouts and short-circuit absent tools.
  A slow but living probe delays the command instead of discarding it,
  so a valid "undo" can no longer be lost to timing alone, and focus
  verification still decides every drop.
- Wayland typing goes back to subprocess.run so tests keep intercepting
  the same entry point. Abortability is preserved by typing in
  200-character chunks with the shutdown check between calls — a
  whole-string call could not be interrupted, but no single chunk holds
  the injector for more than its own scaled budget.
- The abort flag gains a class-level default so injectors built without
  __init__ in tests still answer the checks; each real instance gets its
  own event in __init__.
- Update call-shape assertions for the typed-call timeout and finish
  annotating the test methods touched by the callback refactor.

* fix(inject): never retype text a failed chunked call already sent

- _PartiallyTyped carries the confirmed-delivered prefix length out of
  the chunked type loops, so every downstream fallback continues from
  the untyped remainder: the Wayland-to-xdotool switch types only the
  tail, and the clipboard fallback copies only the tail, never the
  whole string a second time.
- The xdotool retry loop gains the same accounting — a retry now
  resumes at the first untyped chunk instead of restarting at the top
  and duplicating everything the failed attempt already delivered.
- Annotate the remaining test signature the repository guide requires.

* fix(inject): report partial typing as failure even when clipboard lands

A chunked type call that dies mid-text leaves only a prefix on screen,
and the remainder-fallback keeps it that way: it copies the tail for a
manual paste but now returns False, so the caller no longer records the
full transcription as injected and a following "delete that" cannot
erase text that was never typed.

* fix(inject): keep deletion state aligned with delivered text

inject_text now records how many characters a call confirmed on screen
as last_typed_count: the whole length on success, the typed prefix
after a partial failure, -1 when the delivered amount is unknowable.
The transcription caller uses it to keep last_injected_text honest —
a following "delete that" erases the typed prefix or nothing, never
the previous segment or text that never arrived.

* fix(inject): never replay input a timed-out portal job may have delivered

- RemoteDesktopPortalError.delivered=None marks an unreported job's count
  as unknowable; all three portal fallbacks demote and skip instead of
  replaying, and text injection surfaces as TimeoutExpired so no
  full-text clipboard copy is offered
- _PartiallyTyped counts raised after a portal demote are rebased onto
  the original text (typed_prefix) so the caller clips the real prefix
- evdev: a consumed pure-modifier press is withheld and replayed ahead
  of the first non-target press, so holding RightAlt for AltGr
  composition still reaches the application
- history: extend_latest gains an expected_latest CAS guard so a late
  segment from an older worker merges only into its own session's
  snippet, never into a newer session's entry
- quit path aborts in-flight injections before waiting on the lock so
  quitting cannot freeze behind a long transcription's typing budget
- tests: stop _ensure_ydotoold leaking a real Popen in Wayland tests

* fix(shortcut): replay withheld modifiers across devices and after SYN_DROPPED

- Replay withheld modifier presses from every device, not only the fd the
  character arrived on: split keyboards deliver AltGr and the character on
  separate devices, and a per-fd check forwarded a plain character.
- Let the post-SYN_DROPPED resync run when only withheld modifiers exist
  for the fd, so a press whose release the dropped burst ate is pruned
  instead of replaying a stale modifier on the next ordinary key.

* fix(history,pads): keep late segments pad-bound deliveries and pad deletions correct

- Track the worker behind the ended session's snippet so late segments
  from an older worker cannot merge into a newer session's entry
- Skip the focus-change drop for dictation-pad segments and pad-bound
  editing commands, which never target the focused application
- Refuse 'delete that' when a manual pad edit blurred the segment
  boundaries instead of deleting the stale recorded length

* style: drop unneeded nonlocal for mutated worker set

* fix(shortcut): share one evdev device layer across shortcut listeners

Each KeyboardShortcutManager built its own EvdevKeyboardBackend, and on
evdev every backend opened and grabbed the same physical keyboards: the
first grabber received all events and the rest received none, so
per-language shortcuts could never fire on Wayland.

All backends now bind to a process-wide EvdevDeviceHub that opens each
keyboard once, owns the grabs and the paired uinput clones, and fans
every event out to each registered engine. An event is re-emitted to
applications only when no engine consumed it, so suppression semantics
stay the same while per-engine matching state (combo progress, withheld
modifiers, swallowed presses) remains independent.

* fix(history): own late segments per worker and decide pad routing once

- ended_worker_snippets maps each ended session's worker to its own
  (snippet, commit epoch): late deliveries merge into their session's
  entry however many sessions have committed since, so one session's
  stragglers never split across Recent Snippets entries.
- The leftover-segment commit reads the live history epoch inside the
  session lock: a mid-session clear() no longer makes the stale ended
  epoch refuse valid post-clear dictation.
- The pad-bound routing decision is captured once per job and passed to
  the injector/action handler, so a toggle flip between the focus check
  and delivery cannot reroute text or shortcuts into the focused app.
- Dead recognition workers are pruned from the tracking set and map so
  long runs don't accumulate finished threads.
- The custom-terms switch now suppresses GTK's own state-set on save
  failure so it shows the value that actually persisted.

* fix(shortcut): serialize evdev device layer teardown against restart

The last listener's unregister released the engine lock before joining
the monitor thread and closing devices, so a new listener registering in
that gap opened keyboards the stale teardown then closed — it stayed
active but dead, and briefly grabbed keyboards stopped forwarding input.

A lifecycle lock now covers the whole close/open transition in register,
unregister, and the monitor's unexpected-exit teardown, so a cold start
can only open devices after the previous generation finished closing
(also making the new generation's grabs succeed). A generation stamp
tells a monitor thread that outlived its join() its incarnation is over
even when running has gone True again.

* fix(injection): log focus-probe failures and narrow clipboard fallback catch

A crashed focus probe turned into an unknown result with no logged
error, indistinguishable from unavailable focus information; the
partial-typing clipboard fallback caught every exception. Log the probe
failure with context and narrow the clipboard catch to the exceptions
the fallback path can actually raise.

* fix(shortcut): join the evdev monitor outside the lifecycle lock

If the monitor exited unexpectedly while the last listener unregistered,
its cleanup queued on the lifecycle lock that unregister() held for the
join — stalling shutdown for the join's full 2s timeout. The close now
finishes inside the lock and the join waits after it is released, so the
monitor's own cleanup can run and exit instead of queueing behind it.

Closing before the join also dies the monitor's read/select on the
closed fds right away. A _closed gate on _open_keyboard_device keeps a
rescan from opening a device between detach and close that nothing
would ever close.

* fix(injection): narrow focus-probe catch to the raisable exception set

get_focused_window() reports Optional and never raises; the catch now
covers only what can realistically escape the queue write and logs it
with context, keeping the waiting job released.

* fix(shortcut): tag evdev device fds with the generation that opened them

A monitor that outlived join() could still touch a newer generation's
devices: the loop re-checked the generation only at the top, so mid-iteration
it could dispatch from, forward to, or remove devices a restarted listener
had just opened.

Every fd is now tagged with the generation that opened it, and the tag is
verified at each point a monitor could mutate shared state — fd lookup for
dispatch, clone forwarding, forwarder release, device removal, and rescan
opens — while dispatch re-checks the generation between events and the
per-fd loop breaks on it. Cold starts bump the generation before opening
so fresh devices are tagged for the new generation. Devices an older
generation opened stay tagged stale, so its reader leaves them alone.

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

9898bb8dd9 feat(ui): in-app Dictation Pad for Wayland-safe dictation (#887)
* feat(ui): add in-app Dictation Pad for Wayland-safe dictation

Dictated text can now be routed into a text box inside Vocalinux's own
window instead of being injected into other applications — an explicit
fallback for desktops where cross-app injection is unreliable or blocked
(notably Wayland). The pad opens from the tray menu, captures dictation
when enabled via Settings or its own checkbox, and lets the user copy
text out by hand. 'delete that' removes the last segment in-pad.

Closes #726.

* fix(ui): consult live config for pad auto-reveal and Copy All

The reveal gate used the controller's enabled flag, which only syncs on
pad show or its own checkbox — enabling capture via the Settings switch
while the pad was closed silently buffered dictation with no reveal.
_apply_append now reads dictate_to_pad from the shared config.

Also: Copy All copies the widget text (dictation plus in-pad edits), and
re-showing the pad no longer does a wholesale set_text — the view stays
incrementally in sync, so manual edits survive hide/reopen.

* fix(ui): keep dictation pad capture and commands inside the pad

Address all Greptile findings on PR #887:

- Read the capture toggle from the shared ConfigManager instead of
  re-parsing config.json per segment, so a torn mid-write read can no
  longer fail-open and send dictation to the focused app
- Sync edits made directly in the pad widget back into the controller,
  keeping delete semantics consistent with the visible text
- Stamp queued widget operations with a generation tag so a Clear drops
  appends still sitting in the GTK idle queue
- Route undo/redo, select all/line/word/paragraph and cut/copy/paste to
  pad-local implementations while capturing, so their shortcuts never
  reach whichever application holds focus
- Track where the last segment was delivered so "delete that" follows
  the text rather than the current capture toggle
- Annotate every new signature and add callback-level tests that pin the
  routing, queue, and undo behavior

* fix(ui): keep pad controller, queued ops, and delete target in sync

Manual edits could overwrite queued dictation in the controller because
GTK input events outrank idle callbacks; the changed handler now replays
pending widget ops before syncing the view. The controller also tracks
dictated segments across undo snapshots, so a pad undo pops the "delete
that" target instead of leaving a stale length. Catches in the pad are
narrowed to the GTK/config error set per repo style, and missing type
annotations are added.

* fix(ui): close flush races in pad idle queue and delete retarget

Flushed idle ops stayed scheduled with GLib and ran a second time,
duplicating appends; each queued op now only acts while its entry is
still pending. A queued full-view refresh could also erase a manual
edit that landed first, so the changed-handler flush now drops stale
set-text ops instead of replaying them. And clearing the pad
destination on undo-to-empty kept a redo from restoring the "delete
that" target; the destination flag is preserved so redo re-arms it.

* fix(ui): replay pad idle ops before edits land, not after

Flushing in the changed handler still let queued appends leapfrog the
keystroke that fired it, and a stale dispatch could cancel a later
queued op with identical text. Pending entries now match by identity,
and the replay moved to insert-text/delete-range — signals that fire
before the edit is applied — so queued dictation and deletes keep true
chronological order against manual edits.

* fix(history): target late segments to their own snippet by id

A straggler from a just-ended session could merge into whichever snippet
was newest when it arrived, and audio captured before a session opened
was attributed to that session while decoding on its worker.

- TranscriptionHistory.add returns the snippet id and the new
  extend_entry() extends a specific entry, replacing the positional
  extend_latest target in the late-segment path
- session_started_floor stamps when a session opens; in-session
  attribution also requires the capture to postdate it
- test_capture_ceiling closes the mic-test window at callback restore so
  test speech still decoding can no longer leak into history

* fix(settings): keep deferred edits from overwriting a newer choice

The deferred-persist filter treated "config still equals the baseline" as
untouched, so a reopened dialog that applied a key back to its baseline
value could still lose it to the closed dialog worker.

- Record the generation of the apply that last wrote each advanced key;
  a pending edit now survives only when no newer apply wrote that key
- A worker apply whose snapshot a newer apply predates now skips its
  reconfigure and save entirely, so collection order — not lock order —
  decides which snapshot wins

* fix(settings): skip stale applies before stopping dictation

The superseded-apply check ran after stop_recognition, so a stale worker still interrupted a live dictation session. Recognition now stops inside the apply lock, after the generation check.

* fix(shortcuts): keep language edits from breaking dictation

Two per-language shortcut fixes (#805):

- A binding edit landing while a session is live no longer stops
  recognition. The dialog's per-keystroke persist still saves the new
  binding, but the tray defers the listener rebuild to the next IDLE
  transition, so a held push-to-talk keeps its release callback and a
  toggle session is never cut off mid-utterance.
- A row edited onto a key another row holds can no longer displace that
  row's binding. Each row's remembered shortcut is reserved for its own
  row before claims run in row order, so the stealing edit is rejected
  and the held binding survives.
- Persists that resolve to the already-saved bindings (mid-edit
  keystrokes, rejected duplicates, reverted fields) skip the save and
  the listener rebuild entirely.

5c031e64fb feat(settings): bilingual dictation support with deferred settings edits (#424)
* feat: add configurable Whisper language candidates

* fix(settings): defer language candidate edits and tolerate list config

The candidates entry applied settings on every keystroke, restarting the
whisper.cpp model per character, and edits typed while an apply held the
guard were dropped so the saved value could differ from the entry. Defer
application like the initial prompt: mark edits dirty and apply on page
change or close; _finish_auto_apply re-applies edits that landed mid-apply,
and _persist_pending_text_edits saves them if the dialog closed first.

A JSON list in config also crashed the dialog on open because
Gtk.Entry.set_text needs a string; populate the entry through the engine's
_normalize_language_candidates so both stored forms render the same text.

* fix(recognition): validate whisper.cpp language candidates before selection

auto_detect_language's probability map names every language the model can
return, but candidate selection scored configured codes against it with a
0.0 default, so a typo or "auto" could still win the max() and reach
transcription. Only codes present in the probability map are eligible now;
unsupported codes are logged and skipped, and when none qualify the
unrestricted detection result is used instead of forcing a code the model
never scored.

Also add the missing input annotation on _normalize_language_candidates.

* fix(settings): persist deferred text edits off the GTK main loop

_finish_auto_apply runs on the main loop and called
_persist_pending_text_edits synchronously, so reconfigure() restarted
the model in-process and froze the UI when the dialog closed mid-apply.
Run the reconfigure + config save on a worker thread, matching the
normal apply path.

Also annotate _on_language_candidates_changed's signature.

* fix(settings): guard deferred saves and annotate new candidate tests

* fix(settings): reconcile the engine to winning settings after a mid-restart apply

* fix(settings): drop superseded deferred edits instead of saving them

A dialog closed mid-apply stashes its pending text edits for a worker to
persist after the running apply finishes. The worker's mtime check could
not tell the in-flight apply from a newer one started in a reopened
dialog, so the older snapshot could reconfigure the shared engine and
save over the settings that won.

Serialize applies and the deferred persist on a shared lock and order
them with a generation counter bumped when an apply begins. The worker
now skips reconfigure and the save entirely when a newer apply has
begun, and skips the restart when the running apply already landed the
same values.

* fix(settings): merge deferred text edits per key instead of dropping them

Closing the dialog mid-apply stashes the typed prompt/candidate values
with the apply's generation. When a reopened dialog applies newer
settings first, the generation check used to discard the whole stash —
losing the closed dialog's edits even where the newer apply never
touched those keys.

Persist keeps a pre-edit baseline per key: after a newer apply lands,
only keys it actually changed are dropped; the rest still reconfigure
the engine and save, so a stale value can never reach the shared engine
while untouched edits are no longer lost.

* refactor(settings): narrow deferred-edit persist exception with context

* chore: retrigger ci

b71164a214 feat(tray): add recent dictation snippets history menu 🤖🤖🤖 (#487)
* feat(tray): add recent dictation snippets history menu

Add a "Recent Snippets" submenu to the tray indicator that lists recent
dictation sessions. Clicking a snippet copies its full text to the
clipboard for easy re-pasting; a "Clear History" entry empties the list.

Snippets are recorded on recognition, independent of whether text
injection succeeds, so text can be recovered even when injection silently
no-ops (e.g. on some Wayland compositors). One snippet corresponds to one
dictation session (everything said between start and stop); voice commands
are not recorded since they take a separate callback path.

History is kept in memory only (newest-first, capped, never written to
disk) and clears on quit — a deliberate privacy choice for a tool that
sees everything dictated.

Adds a "history" config section (enabled, max_items) and matching
Settings UI under General. Includes unit tests for the new
TranscriptionHistory store.

* fix(history): sanitize saved max_items to keep startup robust

A hand-edited config.json can store a non-numeric or out-of-range
history.max_items. Coerce the value on load (and in TranscriptionHistory
itself) with a positive-int fallback so a malformed preference warns and
falls back to the default instead of aborting startup or crashing the
Settings dialog spin button.

* fix(history): fold late-arriving segments into their originating session

stop_recognition() only waits on the recognition worker for a bounded
time before reporting IDLE, so a slow final segment can still fire its
text callback afterwards — landing in the next session's pending
snippet, or starting a phantom entry of its own.

Track the open session (state transitions, its worker thread, and its
pending segments) under a lock and file each segment by origin: while a
session is open only its own worker's segments accumulate into it; a
segment arriving after finalization extends that session's committed
snippet via the new TranscriptionHistory.extend_latest(), and a segment
from a session that produced nothing forms its own entry instead of
polluting the next one. ERROR now also finalizes the session, so a
partial result is still recorded and the tracker never wedges open.

Covered by new tests driving the callback and state wiring directly:
mid-session LISTENING/PROCESSING transitions, back-to-back sessions,
late callbacks from a lingering worker thread, disabled history, and
invalid saved limits.

* style(ui): type the new history handlers in tray and settings

* fix(history): keep cleared snippets from reappearing via late segments

The recognition worker can still emit a final segment after the manager's
bounded stop wait reported IDLE. Once the user cleared the history, that
late text could not extend the now-empty history and was appended as a
new entry — resurrecting snippets the user explicitly removed.

Give TranscriptionHistory a clear epoch: clear() (and disabling, which
clears) bumps it even when the store is already empty. add() and
extend_latest() accept an expected_epoch and refuse stale epochs
atomically under the store lock, so the check cannot race the clear.

main.py tracks the epoch each session opened under and the epoch of the
most recently ended session. Session commits and every late-segment
write are guarded by them, so text produced before a clear — whether a
session's whole snippet, its straggler segments, or leftovers committed
on the next session's start — cannot re-enter history afterwards.

* test(history): cover clear-epoch rejection and type new signatures

Add regression tests for the cleared-history race: a late segment after
clear() must not reappear, a session ending after a mid-session clear
leaves no snippet, and add/extend_latest refuse a stale expected_epoch
while unguarded writes keep working.

Annotate the new signatures per the repo guide: _boot's extra_settings
and return tuple, every test in the new TestSessionHistoryRecording and
history-menu tray classes, and all methods of the history store tests.

* fix(main): keep post-clear dictation by rebinding the session epoch

* fix(history): drop the boundary segment when a clear lands mid-session

* fix: scope dictation history to post-clear audio via capture-time stamps

The engine now tags each queued audio segment with the monotonic time
capture began and reports it to a new segment_callbacks hook. History
recording drops segments whose capture started before the last clear,
so pre-clear audio that decodes late can no longer resurrect cleared
entries or leak into a later session, while text dictated after a
mid-session clear is kept instead of being discarded by a stale epoch
check.

* fix(settings): keep Test Dictation speech out of transcription history

The mic test swaps text callbacks for its preview, but history recording
runs on segment callbacks, so test speech still landed in Recent
Snippets. The test now saves and clears the segment callback list
alongside the text list — restoring both on success and on the
start-failure path. register/unregister_segment_callback also gain the
missing return annotations and the engine gets symmetric
get/set_segment_callbacks accessors.

* fix(settings): floor test-dictation speech instead of swapping callbacks

Instead of clearing the segment callback list during the mic test —
which would have dropped leftovers from a still-finishing dictation —
the engine exposes test_capture_floor: segments captured at or after
the stamp are test speech and stay out of Recent Snippets, while
earlier-session leftovers continue to file normally.

* refactor(history): narrow change-callback exception surface

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.

8f4aeca2f1 feat(asr): add Parakeet TDT 0.6B engine via sherpa-onnx (#802)
* feat(asr): add Parakeet engine via sherpa-onnx

Adds a "parakeet" engine backed by sherpa-onnx, running NVIDIA Parakeet
TDT 0.6B int8 models on CPU: v3 (25 European languages, auto-detected)
and v2 (English). Output is punctuated and capitalized.

On an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H it decodes at about 12x realtime on CPU
(RTF 0.08), roughly 8x faster than whisper.cpp large-v3-turbo over the
same clips with its Vulkan GPU backend (RTF 0.59). Being a transducer it
also has no 30s window to pad, so a short push-to-talk utterance returns
in ~0.3s instead of ~2.4s.

Follows the existing engine layout: utils/parakeet_model_info.py holds
the catalog and the get_model_path / is_model_downloaded /
list_downloaded_models / delete_model helpers, while _init_parakeet /
_transcribe_with_parakeet / _download_parakeet_model follow the same shape as their
whisper.cpp counterparts and reuse _stream_model_download for progress
and cancellation.

Registered in the engine dispatch, the settings engine/model/language
pickers, the model info card, the download prompts, the unused-downloads
list and install.sh.

Models download to <models_dir>/parakeet/<model>/ via temp files renamed
on success; is_model_downloaded requires all four files, so an
interrupted download is retried rather than loaded.

Requires the new "parakeet" extra (sherpa-onnx).

* fix(install): write only the engine key for parakeet

The parakeet branch duplicated a full default config.json. ConfigManager
deep-merges DEFAULT_CONFIG on load, so every other key was redundant:
a config holding only "engine": "parakeet" still resolves
parakeet_model_size to v3-european along with the VAD, shortcut and
text-injection defaults.

* fix(install): keep push-to-talk defaults and switch existing configs

Writing only the engine key left config.json without a shortcuts
section, which _migrate_shortcuts_config reads as a pre-push-to-talk
upgrade and pins back to ctrl+ctrl/toggle - contradicting the
installer's own "Hold Right Alt while you speak" message. Seed that
section too.

Point the config at parakeet with set_configured_engine rather than only
on first create, so --engine=parakeet also switches a machine that
already has a config.json, and give print_welcome_message a parakeet arm
so the summary is not blank.

The interactive picker overwrites SELECTED_ENGINE, so document the flag
combination that reaches this branch.

* fix(asr): pin Parakeet bundles and report one progress bar

Pin each bundle to a Hugging Face commit instead of resolve/main, so a
file replaced upstream cannot change what an install downloads. This is
the same approach whispercpp_model_info takes with its pinned revision.

Remap each file's progress into its slice of the bundle. The four files
were reported through the single-file downloader independently, so the
fraction ran to 1.0 and restarted four times; it now advances once and
names the file being fetched.

* fix(asr): reject a truncated Parakeet download

_stream_model_download only rejects an empty body, so a truncated but
nonempty response was renamed into the model directory and then reported
as installed, because is_model_downloaded checks existence.

Record the byte size of each file at the pinned revision and check it
before the rename, the same order whisper.cpp verifies its digest in. A
short file is a truncated transfer rather than an upstream change, since
the revision is pinned, so it raises and the temp file is removed.

* style(asr): annotate the Parakeet model catalog

mypy inferred the catalog values as object, so reading file_sizes out of
an entry raised attr-defined and no-any-return under `just typecheck`.

* fix(asr): pin Parakeet digests in model_checksums.txt

AGENTS.md requires every speech model to be verified against a pinned
digest before install, failing closed on an unpinned one. Parakeet was
checking only the byte size.

Teach scripts/generate-model-checksums.py to emit Parakeet entries: the
ONNX files are LFS so Hugging Face publishes their sha256, and tokens.txt
is hashed from the downloaded bytes the way VOSK archives are. Several
bundles ship the same file names, so a key carries the model name.

_download_parakeet_model now calls verify_model_file before the rename
and catches ChecksumError alongside the other download failures, matching
the whisper.cpp downloader.

* fix(asr): verify on-disk Parakeet models before load

Existing bundle files were trusted by path alone, so a leftover or
copied-in tree could reach sherpa-onnx unchecked. Hash each file against
its pin on download skip and on init, and cover the Parakeet pins in CI.

* fix(ui): hide Parakeet language picker that ignores the setting

Parakeet language coverage is the model choice, not a catalog language.
Hide the picker and persist auto so Settings does not write a lying value.

* fix(asr): normalize Parakeet language to auto at startup

CLI --language and stale saved languages still reached SpeechRecognitionManager
even though Parakeet ignores catalog language. Force auto on the shared helper
used by main and the manager so stored settings stay honest.

* fix(ui): restore language after leaving Parakeet

Remember the prior Whisper/cpp language across a Parakeet visit so switching
back does not leave recognition stuck on auto. Keep Parakeet forced to auto
and the picker hidden. Also satisfy black on the startup normalizer path.

* fix(ui): keep language memory across Vosk fallback

Vosk's unsupported-language en-us coercion was writing into
_last_non_parakeet_language, so Whisper→Parakeet→Vosk→Whisper restored
en-us instead of the user's Greek (or other) preference. Remember the
pre-coercion catalog language and prefer it when leaving Vosk.

* fix(ui): keep language memory when entering Parakeet from Vosk

Vosk's coerced en-us fallback was still written into
_last_non_parakeet_language on Parakeet entry, so Vosk→Parakeet→Whisper
restored en-us instead of the pre-coercion preference (Greek or auto).
Share one coerced-fallback predicate across entry, leave-Vosk, and language
sync, and cover those paths with regression tests.

* fix(tests): set initializing flags false on language-change stubs

Plain Mock attributes are truthy and were short-circuiting the handler.

Kacper PaczosandGitHub b7bfdd2dd1 fix(config): share one ConfigManager across the process (#691)
* fix(config): share one ConfigManager across the process

main(), the tray, and the sound-effects check each constructed their own
ConfigManager. Every instance loads the whole config into memory at
construction time and save_config() writes that whole cache back, so any
save from a stale instance silently reverts what another instance saved
in the meantime — no race needed, the second save just wins with old
values. The disk-read workarounds in main (_should_append_trailing_space)
already existed to dodge exactly this.

Add get_shared_config_manager() and route the three call sites through
it. It keeps ConfigManager constructible for tests, and the tray/dialog
pair already shared one instance, so this extends that arrangement to
the rest of the process.

Tests: a regression test runs the two-instance scenario through the
accessor, and a source guard fails if application code constructs
ConfigManager directly again. conftest drops the shared instance
between tests, since it would otherwise be created under whichever
mocks the first caller had active and leak them into later tests.

The two single-instance tests now patch acquire_lock itself: they used
patch.dict(sys.modules, ...), which main()'s "from . import" ignores
once an earlier test has imported the real module — they only passed
through an unrelated mock leaking into the tray's shortcut setup, which
this change stops.

* fix(config): lock the shared accessor and prove the revert it prevents

Review follow-ups on #691:

- guard the lazy create with a lock, so two threads racing the first
  call cannot each build a ConfigManager and reintroduce #689
- take both handles before the first save in the accessor test, and
  assert identity there — the old order let a fresh ConfigManager pass
- add a characterization test: two direct ConfigManager instances still
  revert each other, which is the footgun the accessor exists to hide
- patch get_shared_config_manager in test_main and test_audio_feedback
  instead of the class, so a leftover singleton cannot skip the mock
- close the ExitStack in _boot_under_patches when main() raises; the
  caller only closes a stack it received, so a failure there leaked
  those patches into every later test

* fix(audio): route the tone lookup through the shared ConfigManager

The tone picker merged on main (#707) constructs its own ConfigManager,
which is exactly the stale-cache overwrite this branch removes; the new
source guard in test_shared_config_manager.py flags it.

Kacper PaczosandGitHub 5e3265f87b fix(startup): resolve model size per engine instead of the legacy key (#684)
* fix(startup): resolve model size per engine instead of the legacy key

Startup read the generic "model_size" key, which always holds whichever
engine was saved last, so it initialized the configured engine with
another engine's model. With engine=whisper_cpp and a config left at
model_size=medium by a VOSK save, startup looked for ggml-medium.bin,
reported the model as missing and offered a fresh download while the
working ggml-small.bin named by whisper_cpp_model_size sat on disk.

Use ConfigManager.get_model_size_for_engine(), the resolver the settings
dialog already uses, so the generic key stays a write-only compatibility
shim. It falls back to the generic key when no per-engine key exists, so
older configs keep working.

* fix(config): migrate model_size into whisper_cpp_model_size

Review follow-up on #684.

get_model_size_for_engine() only falls back to the generic model_size key
when the engine key is missing from the in-memory dict, and DEFAULT_CONFIG
already ships whisper_cpp_model_size. After the merge in load_config() the
key is therefore always present, so a user file holding only
{engine: whisper_cpp, model_size: small} used to start on small and would
now start on the default tiny — the older-config path from #681.

_migrate_config already copies the model into vosk_model_size and
whisper_model_size; do the same for whisper_cpp so the resolver change is
behaviour-preserving for those files, and widen the migration trigger to
notice a missing whisper_cpp key.

Tests run against a real ConfigManager on a temp config, not a mocked
resolver: the migration case fails without this change, and the two
resolver cases pin the engine key winning over the generic one.

* refactor(settings): move Auto-Capitalize to Recognition tab

Auto-capitalize is dictation output post-processing, not application
lifecycle behavior, so it belongs alongside Voice Commands rather than
with autostart/clipboard settings in General.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub b945137d60 fix(vulkan): auto-select discrete GPU and add manual device selection (#590)
* fix(vulkan): auto-select discrete GPU and add manual device selection

On hybrid GPU systems (Intel iGPU + NVIDIA dGPU), whisper.cpp's Vulkan
backend always selected device 0 (the integrated GPU), resulting in
significantly slower performance.

Changes:
- Add detect_vulkan_devices() to enumerate all Vulkan GPUs and identify
  discrete vs integrated devices
- Set GGML_VULKAN_DEVICE env var before model init to select the correct
  GPU (auto-selects discrete GPU when available)
- Add whispercpp_gpu_device config option for manual device selection
- Add GPU device dropdown in Settings > Advanced for users with multiple
  Vulkan GPUs

Fixes #589

* test: add coverage for Vulkan GPU device selection

- Test detect_vulkan_devices() with single/multiple GPUs
- Test _prefer_discrete_vulkan_device() preference logic
- Test GPU device selection in recognition_manager
- Verify GGML_VULKAN_DEVICE env var is set correctly

* fix(speech_recognition): pass whispercpp GPU device to pywhispercpp Model context_params

The Vulkan device-selection logic from PR #590 set the GGML_VULKAN_DEVICE
environment variable, but pywhispercpp did not pick it up. Pass the selected
GPU device through the pywhispercpp Model context_params so whisper.cpp
actually initializes the requested Vulkan device.

Fixes #589

* fix(speech_recognition): fallback when pywhispercpp lacks context_params

Older pywhispercpp releases (< ~1.4.0) reject the context_params keyword
and raise TypeError. Detect that specific failure and retry without GPU
device selection so the engine still loads on those versions.

Fixes #589

* refactor(speech_recognition): inline context_params assignment

Simplify the GPU device selection path and remove the temporary dict.

* fix(vulkan): parse real vulkaninfo GPU0: headers

detect_vulkan_devices() only recognized fictional "GPU id = N" headers,
so real vulkaninfo --summary output (GPU0:/GPU1:) returned no devices and
hybrid NVIDIA systems fell through to CUDA. Also resolve preferred device
names by GPU id instead of list position.

Fixes #589

* refactor(whispercpp): drop ineffective GGML_VULKAN_DEVICE env var

pywhispercpp ignores GGML_VULKAN_DEVICE; device selection already goes
through context_params={"gpu_device": N}. Remove the misleading env write
so maintainers do not think the env var is the selection path.

* feat(asr): add chat audio remote benchmarking

* style(asr): apply black formatting

* test(main): include remote API model kwarg

* test(asr): add coverage for chat-completions error handling and parsing

Add 10 new tests to cover uncovered lines in PR #468:
- ConnectionError handler in _try_chat_completions_audio_api (lines 1601-1602)
- _parse_chat_completion_transcription edge cases: None, list content,
  empty/whitespace strings, JSON without text field, plain text, and
  single-line language metadata (lines 1610, 1613-1621, 1625, 1629-1640)

Coverage for recognition_manager.py improved from 85% to 86%.

* feat(asr): support FunASR remote responses

* refactor(asr): scope remote FunASR support to the #469 path

Drop chat-completions/Qwen client, evaluation notes, and the remote ASR
benchmark harness. Keep model field, tolerant OpenAI response parsing,
SenseVoice label stripping, FunASR docs, and tests.

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

* style(speech): format device fallback warning

* test(speech): cover audio device fallback edges

* test(speech): cover reconnection device fallback

* 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.

* 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.

* 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

while still feeling immediate compared to the original placement after all

* 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
- Document resampling rate effect on VAD resolution
- Comment explaining why load_silero_vad() catches broad Exception

* address review: bundle license, document [vad] extra, surface backend in UI

- Pack data/LICENSE into the wheel (pyproject package-data) so attribution
  travels with the model
- README: short note on enabling neural VAD via vocalinux[vad]
- Settings: VAD Sensitivity row subtitle shows the active backend; if
  onnxruntime is missing, an info-row beneath the group spells out the
  install command and the restart requirement
- silero_vad.is_silero_available() probes onnxruntime + model presence
  w/o instantiating an InferenceSession
- CI installs .[dev,vad] so Silero paths get exercised
- Integration test for _record_audio Silero branch (mocked pyaudio +
  scripted SileroVAD), covering silence flush, speech reset, and
  sensitivity threshold mapping at sens=1 vs sens=5
- Tests no longer skip when other modules globally mock numpy: pop the
  top-level numpy ref so a fresh import gives the real package, and
  swap sys.modules["numpy"] inside the _record_audio call so the lazy
  import inside the function picks up real numpy too

* fix(vad): drop silence-only recording buffers

* test(vad): align stop buffer expectations

* test(vad): preserve real numpy module

* fix(install): install vad support opportunistically

* test(vad): cover recognition manager vad edges

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.

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 e35bdb2f62 fix(dictation): remove unwanted leading space when starting new transcription (#307)
Reset last_injected_text when recognition transitions to LISTENING state,
ensuring the first dictation segment in each session is not prefixed with
a space. Also simplify the space-prepending logic: always add a separator
space between consecutive segments (not just after punctuation), and strip
incoming text as a safety net against whisper tokenizer artifacts.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub 6fc1401ae0 feat(commands): make voice commands optional with auto-enable for VOSK (#274)
* feat(commands): make voice commands optional with auto-enable for VOSK

This implements a new voice commands feature that:
- Adds 'voice_commands_enabled' config option (None=auto, True, False)
- Auto-enables voice commands for VOSK engine (which needs them for punctuation)
- Auto-disables for Whisper engines (which handle punctuation natively)
- Adds a toggle in Settings > Recognition tab to override the default

The toggle shows the current auto-detected state and allows users to
enable/disable voice commands regardless of engine choice.

This addresses issue #147 discussion about voice commands utility with
modern Whisper models that handle punctuation well.

Closes #270 (by providing an alternative solution - disabling commands)

* fix(tests): add voice_commands_enabled parameter to test expectations

Update test assertions to include the new voice_commands_enabled
parameter that was added to SpeechRecognitionManager.

* style(tests): fix black formatting in test_speech_recognition.py

* fix(commands): keep voice command mode in sync on reconfigure

Jatin K MalikandGitHub 9886e8cb9d feat(ui): add auto-start on boot support (#207)
* feat(ui): add auto-start on boot support

- Add --start-minimized CLI flag for autostart entry
- Create autostart_manager.py to handle XDG autostart desktop entry
- Add autostart config option in config_manager.py
- Add Start on Login toggle in Settings dialog
- Add Start Minimized toggle in Settings dialog
- Add Start on Login checkbox in system tray menu
- Add first-run dialog to ask about autostart preference

Closes #184

* fix(test): add first_run: False to mock config settings

The tests were failing with StopIteration because main() now checks
for first_run and shows a dialog if True. By setting first_run: False
in the mock config, we skip the first-run dialog code path.

* fix(ui): harden autostart behavior across Linux sessions

Use XDG-compliant autostart paths and robust Exec command resolution, keep first-run prompt semantics correct, and fix GTK toggle handling so state changes are applied reliably.

* docs(autostart): document XDG startup model and limits

Clarify that Vocalinux uses desktop-session XDG autostart, not systemd services, and explain compatibility expectations for mainstream DEs versus minimal/custom WM sessions.

* feat(ui): add first-run quick-start guidance text

Expand the welcome dialog with concise first-time usage guidance and clear direction to the tray menu Settings entry while preserving the existing autostart decision flow.

* fix(uninstall): remove XDG autostart desktop entry

Ensure uninstall removes ~/.config autostart registration and reports leftover autostart entries during verification.

* fix(install): ignore defunct processes in running-check

Filter installer process detection to exclude defunct entries and installer/uninstaller shells so stale zombie rows do not block reinstall.

* fix(uninstall): ignore defunct processes in running-check

Use filtered process detection so zombie entries and installer shells do not trigger false running-process warnings during uninstall.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub 0a406b5d73 fix: Update AppIndicator test to match Ayatana fallback behavior (#124)
The test_check_dependencies_missing_appindicator test was failing because
it expected check_dependencies() to return False when AppIndicator3 is
missing. However, the code now supports AyatanaAppIndicator3 as a fallback.

Split the test into two cases:
- test_check_dependencies_missing_appindicator_with_ayatana_fallback:
  Tests that when AppIndicator3 is missing but AyatanaAppIndicator3
  is available, check_dependencies() returns True (fallback works)
- test_check_dependencies_missing_both_appindicators:
  Tests that when both AppIndicator3 and AyatanaAppIndicator3 are
  missing, check_dependencies() returns False

Increased test coverage from ~33% to 80.15% statement coverage.

New test files added:
- test_action_handler.py (100% coverage)
- test_version.py (100% coverage)
- test_logging_manager.py (100% coverage)
- test_common_types.py
- test_speech_recognition_init.py (100% coverage)

- test_keyboard_shortcuts.py: 88% -> 95%
- test_config_manager.py: improved to 98%
- test_audio_feedback.py: improved to 92%

Configuration changes:
- Updated pyproject.toml to exclude untestable GTK dialog files
  (settings_dialog.py, logging_dialog.py) from coverage metrics

Key testing improvements:

- Added edge case tests for text injection on X11/Wayland
- Added keyboard shortcut injection tests
- Added error handling and callback tests
- Added configuration management tests

* fix: Use runtime CI mode detection to fix Python 3.8/3.10 tests

Change CI_MODE from module-level constant to _is_ci_mode() function
that is evaluated at runtime. This ensures pytest detection works
correctly on all Python versions, since pytest modules may not be
loaded at import time.

* fix: Add PYTEST_RUNNING env var for reliable pytest detection in CI

The previous approach to detect pytest at runtime wasn't working
reliably on Python 3.8/3.10 in CI environments. This adds a
PYTEST_RUNNING=1 environment variable set early in conftest.py
that _is_ci_mode() can check to reliably determine if tests are
running.

* fix: Use patch.object for reliable mocking in audio_feedback tests

The previous approach using patch() with module paths didn't work
reliably because the module reimport caused the patched objects
to not be the same as the ones the functions referenced.

Using patch.object() on the imported module's attributes ensures
the patches are applied to the actual objects the functions use.

* fix: Use patch.object for reliable mocking in test_settings_callback

The test was failing on Python 3.8/3.10 because the module-level patch
for SettingsDialog wasn't being applied reliably across all Python
versions due to import timing differences.

Using patch.object() on the imported module ensures the mock is applied
to the actual reference that _on_settings_clicked() uses, regardless of
Python version or module caching behavior.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub c9810dc7f5 fix: Lazy GTK imports for better pip/pipx compatibility (#49)
* fix: Lazy GTK imports for better pip/pipx compatibility

- Move GTK-dependent imports (tray_indicator) inside main() function
- Import after check_dependencies() so users get helpful error messages
- Update ui/__init__.py to not import tray_indicator at module level
- Update vocalinux/__init__.py to not import GTK-dependent modules
- Improved error messages for pip/pipx users with missing GTK typelibs
- Bump version to 0.2.1-alpha

This fixes the 'Namespace AppIndicator3 not available' error that
pip/pipx users encounter because PyGObject can't find system typelibs.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub b5e1d61d17 Fix: Audio detection issues - Add device selection and testing (#55)
* Fix audio detection issues (#34)

This commit addresses the audio detection issues reported in GitHub issue #34
where users on various Linux distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu with Wayland)
were unable to get voice recognition working despite their microphones
functioning in other applications.

Changes:
- Add audio input device enumeration and selection
  - New get_audio_input_devices() function lists all available input devices
  - Users can now select which microphone to use in Settings

- Add audio diagnostics and testing
  - New test_audio_input() function for testing microphone input
  - Test Mic button in Settings to verify audio is being captured
  - Audio level bar shows real-time input levels

- Improve audio debugging/logging
  - Log available audio devices on startup
  - Log which device is being used
  - Periodic audio level logging during recording
  - Warning when no speech detected and max level is very low
  - Log when speech is first detected with threshold info

- Add audio device configuration
  - Audio device selection persisted to config file
  - Device loaded on startup from saved config

- Better error handling
  - Graceful handling of audio stream open failures
  - Clear error messages when audio devices are unavailable

The root cause for many users was that PyAudio's default device selection
may not match the system's default input, especially on systems using
PipeWire or complex audio routing. Users can now explicitly select their
microphone and test it before using voice recognition.

* Fix circular import in speech_recognition module

Move lazy imports for get_audio_input_devices and test_audio_input
to avoid circular dependency when settings_dialog imports from
speech_recognition at module load time.

* Fix audio detection issues with device selection

- Add audio device enumeration and selection in Settings
- Add microphone test button with audio level indicator
- Improve VAD logging with periodic audio level output
- Add warning when no speech detected with low audio levels
- Store audio device preference in config

Fixes #34

* Fix linting issues - remove unused imports, fix module-level imports, format code

* Fix remaining linting issues - add type hints back, fix whitespace, add noqa comments

* Fix final linting issue - break long line in config_manager

* Fix formatting - use black formatting, align flake8 line-length with black (100)

* Fix CI test failures: Update mocks and assertions

* Fix audio feedback mock tests for CI

- Move audio feedback imports to top of recognition_manager.py (remove lazy imports)
- Add shared mock_audio_feedback in conftest.py for consistent mocking across tests
- Update test_recognition_manager.py and test_speech_recognition.py to use shared mock
- Fixes test_start_stop_recognition, test_start_recognition, test_stop_recognition

Jatin K MalikandGitHub 1dc1d44665 feat: Alpha Launch v0.2.0 - Complete UX Overhaul 🚀🎤 (#39)
* feat: prepare for v0.2.0-alpha release

* feat: prepare for v0.2.0-alpha release

* chore: remove CHANGELOG.md, use GitHub Releases instead

* refactor: use existing About dialog instead of Settings section

* style: enhance About dialog UI readability

* style: fix formatting with black and isort

* feat: show VAD and silence timeout settings for Whisper engine

- Renamed 'VOSK Settings' to 'Recognition Settings'
- VAD Sensitivity and Silence Timeout now apply to both engines
- Added tooltips explaining each setting
- VOSK-specific model info only shown when VOSK selected

* fix: resolve overlapping UI elements in settings dialog

* fix: save VAD and silence timeout settings for both engines

Previously these settings were only saved when VOSK was selected.
Now they persist correctly for Whisper as well.

* fix: show download progress when selecting undownloaded model

Previously when auto-applying settings, models would download silently
in the background without showing the progress dialog. Now:
- Download progress dialog appears for undownloaded models
- Model icons update correctly after download completes

* feat: add download progress, speed, ETA and cancel button

- Show real download progress percentage for VOSK models
- Display download speed (MB/s) and estimated time remaining
- Add Cancel button to abort downloads
- Update status during extraction phase
- Whisper downloads still pulse (uses internal downloader)

* fix: defer model download until needed, don't block startup

- App now starts instantly even if models aren't downloaded
- Models are downloaded on-demand when selected in Settings
- If user tries to dictate without a model, plays error sound
- Added model_ready property to check if engine is usable

* fix: improve first-run UX without downloaded models

- Settings dialog now defaults to smallest available model, not saved config
- Only show saved model if it's actually downloaded
- Add desktop notification when trying to dictate without a model
- Prevents auto-downloading large models on first launch

* feat: add download progress tracking for Whisper models

- Implement custom Whisper model download with progress/speed/ETA
- Uses OpenAI's CDN URLs directly instead of whisper.load_model()
- Progress callback works the same as VOSK downloads
- Supports cancellation during download

* fix: enable download progress callback for Whisper models

Progress callback was only being set for VOSK downloads, not Whisper.
Now both engines show real-time progress, speed, and ETA.

* fix: update tests for defer_download and config manager mocking

- test_main: Mock ConfigManager to prevent saved config from overriding test values
- test_settings_dialog: Mock ModelDownloadDialog to prevent GTK init errors
- test_speech_recognition: Use proper MockVoskModule class instead of MagicMock, pass defer_download=False for download test
- test_whisper_support: Pass defer_download=False to trigger model loading in test

* fix: resolve test failures for CI

- test_main: Fix ConfigManager patch path to use source module
- test_settings_dialog: Mock _is_vosk_model_downloaded and _is_whisper_model_downloaded to skip download flow, add missing dialog attributes
- test_speech_recognition: Replace recognizer with properly configured mock that returns valid JSON, fixing test isolation issues when running all tests together

* fix: mock _download_whisper_model in whisper test to avoid requests exception handling issue

* fix: add gir1.2-girepository-2.0 dep for PyGObject on Ubuntu 24.04

- Add missing girepository-2.0 package for newer Ubuntu runners
- Use --no-build-isolation for PyGObject to use system packages

* fix: skip PyGObject pip install, use system python3-gi package

- Use --no-deps for editable install to skip PyGObject
- Install other deps explicitly without PyGObject
- Add python3-gi-cairo for complete GTK support
- Removes problematic girepository-2.0 build requirement

* fix: install PyGObject via pip with proper build deps

- Remove python3-gi/python3-gi-cairo (doesn't work with setup-python)
- Install PyGObject from pip after installing build dependencies
- Simplify venv setup without --system-site-packages hack

* Fix GObject

* fix: set GI_TYPELIB_PATH for pip-installed PyGObject to find AppIndicator3
