* chore(deps): keep tailwindcss on v3
The group update pulled tailwindcss ^4.3.3, whose PostCSS plugin moved
to @tailwindcss/postcss and whose Config type rejects darkMode:
["class"]. Pin back to ^3.4.3 so the Build Website and Netlify checks
pass; the sharp 0.35.5 and source-map-js 1.2.2 bumps are kept. A
Tailwind v4 migration needs its own PR.

* chore(release): prepare v0.18.0
Bump version surfaces for the v0.18.0 minor release: version.py,
web/package.json + lockfile, softwareVersion schema, SECURITY.md
supported-versions table, AUR pkgver/_tag (source and -bin),
AppStream metainfo release entry, and the release-history table in
RELEASE_PROCESS.md.
Docs and site copy for the delta since v0.17.0: README blurb, snap
sideload versions in README/INSTALL/UPDATE, CHANGELOG current-stable
entry, docs/UPDATE.md What's New with the 0.18 highlights table and
per-PR credits, website changelog + desktop-reliability entries, and
PRODUCT.md capability lines for Dictation Pad, per-language shortcuts,
tray history, overlay, ducking, PipeWire, portal injection, D-Bus
activation, custom dictionary, and file transcription.
* fix(release): address review findings on the v0.18.0 prep
- Keep the checked-in vocalinux-bin PKGBUILD on v0.17.0 so its real
AppImage digests stay consistent with its sources; release.yml bumps
pkgver/_tag and pins both-arch digests atomically at publish
- Qualify the Flatpak release note: PipeWire system-audio capture and
RemoteDesktop portal injection are native-install paths
- Refresh dateModified on the changelog and desktop-reliability pages
- Restore the release-history table order in RELEASE_PROCESS.md
- Revert the build-regenerated web/next-env.d.ts route-types reference

Minor on the stable line. Faster Whisper and Parakeet extras, Speech Model simple setup, Snap uinput, Flatpak bundles on the tag, and QA fixes from the release branch.
Fixes tracked in the PR. Post-release follow-ups: #834.
Bump version metadata and series-aware notes for the 0.16.2 patch:
KDE leftover IBus, Wayland/IBus shortcuts, BackSpace delete that,
installer glslc, nightly stamp, release integrity, and CI/docs gates.
Bump the stable line from 0.16.0 to 0.16.1. README and UPDATE keep the 0.16 series highlights and add the patch-only fixes. Website changelog, schema, AppStream, and AUR PKGBUILD follow.
Stable minor since v0.15.0. Bumps version to 0.16.0 across app, web, AUR, and Flatpak AppStream, and refreshes docs, changelog, and SECURITY.
Tag v0.16.0 after this lands on main.
* web: restyle vocalinux.com to the Voca family workbench
Bring the Linux marketing site onto the same paper, ink, and teal language
as VocaHQ, VocaMac, VocaPhone, and VocaGateway. Drop the site-wide dark
mode so the canvas stays paper-only, matching the other product sites.
* web: loop the home ribbon without a gap or jump
The ticker used a stretched full-width track, so a -50% slide left an empty
right edge before snapping back. Two equal groups, each wider than the
viewport, scroll by exactly one group width.
* web: match vocahq.com ribbon speed and teal band
The looped ticker was covering six item cycles in 32s, so it raced.
It now spends 28s per cycle like vocahq.com, uses the same dark-teal
band, and pauses when the tab is hidden.
* web: drive the hero panel clock from the visitor's local time
Replace the static 11:24 mock with a 24-hour HH:MM clock in the client
timezone, updated on the minute.
* web: add official platform marks on the family cards
Use the .github brand platform SVGs (Linux, Apple, Android, Windows)
plus the HQ server mark for VocaGateway, matching vocahq.com's product row.
* web: restore a Light/Dark flip on the screenshots page
The captured GTK shots exist in both appearances. A page-local switch
defaults to prefers-color-scheme and stores a tab override. The rest of
the site stays paper-only.
* web: make the homepage CTA say Install, not Get
The button already jumps to the one-line installer. Name that action,
note that there is no account, and keep the same copy in the closer
and the mobile menu.
* web: style install commands as GTK terminals
Command boxes use a headerbar with copy, a centered title, and
window controls on the right. The prompt is user@linux:~$, not
Mac traffic-light chrome.
* web: stop repeating the engine list in the hero
The proof line, the notes window, and the tray terminal all said
the same whisper.cpp / Whisper / VOSK / Remote API line. Engines
stay on the window chips. Proof is now desktop and license facts.
The terminal shows launching into the tray.
* web: reflow copy, color prompts, and add install paths
Drop pretty/balance wrapping so titles and ledes follow the
shell width. Color the user@linux prompt. Hero terminal now
says audio stays on this machine. Ribbon adds project words.
AppImage and source-build sit under the install command.
* web: put X, Discord, and GitHub by the footer mark
Official family social marks sit next to the Vocalinux logo.
Footer columns are Product, Install, Guides, and Project.
The bottom line is Part of VocaHQ, without X11 or whisper.cpp.
* web: add hello@vocahq.com to the footer social row
The official mail mark sits with X, Discord, and GitHub and opens
the family hello@vocahq.com address.
* web: use the circular mark in the header and footer
Header and footer now use the official teal circle lockup instead
of the square app icon.
* web: ship a circular favicon and a family OG card
Favicons use the teal circle lockup. The Open Graph image is redone
in the paper workbench language with the current homepage line.
* web: set the hero to Dictate locally / In any app
Shorter couplet in the VocaHQ display size, with a matching
lede and Open Graph card.
* web: gray the hero terminal note as a comment
The second line was reading as part of the vocalinux command.
It is now a dim # comment under the prompt.
* chore(release): prepare v0.15.0
Bump version across app, web, AUR, and Flatpak metainfo. Document GitHub
release-notes rules, refresh README/UPDATE/INSTALL/USER_GUIDE for the 0.15
series (sidebar settings, AppImage, auto-pause/keepalive, Vulkan device
selection), and align website product surfaces with shipped features.

* docs(release): fold latest main into v0.15.0 notes
Include dictation capitalization/trailing-space, ibus-wayland injection,
IBus teardown, and settings notice polish landed on main after the initial
release prep rebase.

UPDATE, changelog, AppStream, and release history after rebasing onto main.

* docs(release): include language catalog expansion in v0.15.0 notes

README, UPDATE, changelog, AppStream, PRODUCT.md, and release history
after rebasing onto latest main.
Co-authored-by: Jatin K Malik <jatinkrmalik@users.noreply.github.com>
* docs(release): fold settings footer and language follow-ups into v0.15.0
Include #618 sidebar dictation footer, #619 Custom Shortcut Record/Set
restore, and #617 English (India) Whisper language mapping after rebasing
onto latest main.

* feat(web): deslop marketing site with workstation craft identity
Replace generic AI SaaS landing patterns with a deliberate Linux desk
utility look: cool paper palette, Bricolage + Source Sans, solid type,
editorial feature rows, and terminal install as first-class proof.
Adds PRODUCT.md, DESIGN.md, and WEB-DESLOP-NOTES.md. Drops unused geist
and react-intersection-observer. No product claim changes.
* chore(web): drop local deslop working notes from PR
WEB-DESLOP-NOTES.md was a firstmate/session artifact, not product docs.
* fix(web): stop mobile horizontal overflow and harden viewport layout
Long install URLs expanded the page past the phone width. Constrain
terminal pre with break-all, min-w-0 columns, and overflow-x clip.
Tighten mobile hero type and full-width CTAs. Add Playwright viewport
QA script and jest checks that assert no overflow at desktop/tablet/mobile.
* refactor(web): drop browser speech preview from marketing home
Remove the cloud SpeechRecognition demo section and nav Demo link.
Keep product truth: hero install, features, screenshots, engines.
Fold shortcut/engine/audio links into the features intro.
Delete unused LiveDemo component and its unit test.
* chore(web): remove orphaned demo overlay and double-press hook
Only LiveDemo used these; gone with the browser preview section.
* feat(web): borrow PR #546 craft language into deslop home
Merge closed redesign language onto feat/web-deslop-craft: pure white
and near-black iron surfaces, emerald-committed palette, asymmetric
hero with real app screenshots, full-bleed install strip, feature bento
with tray/settings shots, and install-to-dictation steps.
Keep Bricolage + Source Sans (not Geist), no browser speech demo, and
mobile overflow guards. Update screenshots homepage expectations.
* docs(design): align DESIGN.md tokens with PR #546 iron/emerald palette
* fix(web): drop settings screenshot from installer details
Uninstall sat too far below the list once the general-settings shot
was in that column. Keep checklist, requirements, and uninstall only.
* fix(web): raise light-mode primary and footer contrast
Darken light emerald so white button text hits ~5:1 (was 3.4).
Brighten install-strip and footer secondary text for legibility.
Verified light/dark × desktop/tablet/mobile with no overflow.
* fix(web): compact feature cards to kill empty vertical space
Right-column tiles were h-full + justify-between next to a tall
screenshot, so short copy left large voids. Use content-height cards
with denser padding and inline link rows instead.
* fix(web): pair settings shot with full feature rail
Replace three orphan cards beside a tall dialog with a six-row
feature panel that stretches with the screenshot frame. Crop the
settings image with object-cover/object-top so heights match and
no void sits next to the UI shot.
* feat(web): apply homepage craft language to SEO child pages
Rewrite SeoSubpageShell chrome (fixed nav, install pill, iron footer)
to match the deslop home. Add subpage utilities and retoken all
templated child routes: borders, radii, mono kickers, single emerald
accent, terminal panels, no rainbow icon tiles or gradient cards.
* fix(web): avoid invalid @apply hover:border-primary/40 in subpage-card
* fix(web): rewrite subpage CSS without invalid Tailwind @apply
* fix(web): color comparison X icons rose-red on alternatives
Use soft rose (#c45c5c / #e08b8b) for no/cons marks so they read as
distinct from emerald yes/checks without looking like form errors.
* docs(web): move product/design docs under web/ and drop impeccable markers
Keep PRODUCT.md and DESIGN.md next to the Next app (not repo root), add
web/AGENTS.md as the entry point, and point the root AGENTS website
section at those files. Strip tool-specific schema comments.
* fix(web): use icon-only copy control on install terminal
Replace the chunky Copy/Copied chip with a quiet clipboard icon that
turns into a check on success.
* fix(web): restyle system requirements as a spec rail
Replace the nested bullet card with mono-label / value pairs under the
installer section so it matches the craft language used elsewhere.
* fix(web): center engine rows and quiet the Default badge
Align name/badge with multi-line engine details on sm+; replace the
filled green pill with a small mono outline chip.
* chore(release): prepare v0.14.2
IBus stability patch on the 0.14 series: engine process launch after XDG
import (#534) and FocusIn gate for first dictation on GNOME Wayland (#533).
Keep 0.14 series feature list in README/UPDATE for patch releases; changelog
and AppStream note only the delta. Document that rule in RELEASE_PROCESS.
* fix(release): address 0.14.2 review findings
- Dates: v0.14.2 uses 2026-07-17 (not before 0.14.1)
- AUR: sha256sums=SKIP until tag; document updpkgsums in RELEASE_PROCESS
- Single version source: package __init__ re-exports version.py; User-Agent uses __version__
- Docs: drop redundant series recaps; shrink AppStream/changelog delta
- README ecosystem status: Stable v0.14.2 (not Beta)
* docs(release): include settings scroll fixes in 0.14.2 notes
Cover #538 and #541 (scrollable settings tabs / wheel polish) in README,
UPDATE, website changelog, AppStream, and version history after rebasing
onto main.
Patch release for Flatpak/AUR packaging and post-0.14.0 fixes:
installer wrappers, ydotool dual API and Flatpak socket probe, model
download timeouts, layout-aware hotkeys, and related docs/web bumps.
Bump brace-expansion, js-yaml, @babel/core, and related transitive
deps via npm audit fix. Override nested postcss so Next.js no longer
pulls vulnerable 8.4.31 (XSS in CSS stringify output).
* chore(release): prepare v0.14.0-beta
- Bump version 0.13.0-beta -> 0.14.0-beta (src/vocalinux/version.py)
- README: refresh What's New for v0.14.0-beta and bump comparison table

- web: bump package.json / package-lock.json / page.tsx schema + badge
- web changelog: add v0.14.0-beta entry
* ci(codecov): allow 0.5% project coverage threshold
Prevents version-bump/docs-only PRs from being blocked by minor
coverage fluctuations (e.g. -0.04% on a release-prep branch).
* docs(release): correct chronological order in version history table
* docs(release): add #509 shortcut UI exclusivity fix to v0.14.0-beta notes

- Still use resultIndex for proper accumulation on desktop
- Clear processed results when starting a new session
Fixes speech result duplication issue on mobile while restoring
proper accumulation behavior on desktop browsers.
