Bump brace-expansion, js-yaml, @babel/core, and related transitive
deps via npm audit fix. Override nested postcss so Next.js no longer

* chore(release): prepare v0.14.0-beta
- Bump version 0.13.0-beta -> 0.14.0-beta (src/vocalinux/version.py)
- README: refresh What's New for v0.14.0-beta and bump comparison table
- docs/UPDATE.md: add v0.14.0-beta section and bump checkout example
- SECURITY.md: mark 0.14.x supported, 0.13.x unsupported
- docs/RELEASE_PROCESS.md: add v0.14.0-beta to version history
- web: bump package.json / package-lock.json / page.tsx schema + badge
- web changelog: add v0.14.0-beta entry
* ci(codecov): allow 0.5% project coverage threshold
Prevents version-bump/docs-only PRs from being blocked by minor
coverage fluctuations (e.g. -0.04% on a release-prep branch).
* docs(release): correct chronological order in version history table
* docs(release): add #509 shortcut UI exclusivity fix to v0.14.0-beta notes
* fix(models): correct download size metadata for whisper.cpp and VOSK
The size_mb values in WHISPERCPP_MODEL_INFO were using parameter counts instead of actual download sizes, causing the UI to display incorrect sizes (e.g., showing 39 MB when actual download is 74 MB). Updated all whisper.cpp models with verified sizes from Hugging Face and adjusted VOSK medium/large sizes to better represent actual downloads.
Ultraworked with [Sisyphus](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent)
* docs: update model download sizes to match actual downloads
Update whisper.cpp size references from parameter counts to verified download sizes (e.g., tiny: 39MB → 74MB, medium: 769MB → 1.5GB, large: 1.5GB → 3.0GB).
Ultraworked with [Sisyphus](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent)
* docs(web): update model sizes across website pages
Sync whisper.cpp size references on gpu-acceleration, compare, whisper-model-guide, offline, and homepage with corrected download sizes.

fix 6 stale answers (distros, requirements, languages, shortcuts,
voice commands, engine switching)
- Hero buttons: GitHub-dark 'We're Open Source', ghost 'Use Windows
or Mac?'
- Ecosystem: reorder to VocaMac > VocaLinux (center) > VocaWin,
change badge from 'You are here' to 'Beta'
- Remove all em-dashes (9 occurrences)
The install.sh on main now dynamically resolves the latest release tag
via GitHub API (merged in PR #313), so pinning to a specific release tag
in install commands is no longer needed — and was causing users to run
the old hardcoded installer.
Update all curl install command URLs across docs, code, and website from
versioned tags (v0.9.0-beta, v0.8.0-beta) to main/install.sh:
- README.md (4 URLs + note text)
- docs/INSTALL.md (2 URLs + note text)
- docs/UPDATE.md (2 URLs)
- docs/DISTRO_COMPATIBILITY.md (1 URL)
- tests/distro-testing-checklist.md (1 URL)

prevent duplication on mobile browsers where resultIndex stays at 0.

- 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.

* feat: add Wayland support for keyboard shortcuts using evdev backend
This commit adds multi-backend support for keyboard shortcuts, enabling
them to work on Wayland sessions where pynput does not work.
**Changes:**
- New `keyboard_backends/` package with modular backend system
- `base.py`: Abstract base class for keyboard backends
- `pynput_backend.py`: Existing pynput implementation (X11/XWayland)
- `evdev_backend.py`: New evdev implementation (X11 & Wayland)
- `__init__.py`: Backend factory with auto-detection
- Updated `keyboard_shortcuts.py`:
- Refactored to use backend system
- Auto-detects session type (X11 vs Wayland)
- Selects appropriate backend automatically
- Provides helpful error messages when shortcuts unavailable
- Added `evdev>=1.6.0` to dependencies (Linux only)
- Comprehensive test updates:
- 21 tests pass covering all backends
- Tests for session detection
- Tests for backend factory
- Tests for permission hints
**User Impact:**
- Keyboard shortcuts now work on Wayland when user is in 'input' group
- Clear error messages guide users to fix permission issues
- Backward compatible with X11 (pynput backend)
**Setup for Wayland:**
```bash
sudo usermod -a -G input $USER
# Log out and log back in
```

Automatically detect Wayland sessions during installation and add the user
to the 'input' group required for evdev-based keyboard shortcuts.
This eliminates the need for users to manually configure permissions
after installation on Wayland systems.
* fix: escape commit message in Detect Changes step to handle special characters
The commit message was being directly inserted into the bash comparison,
which broke when the message contained special characters like parentheses.
Fix by assigning to a variable first.
* chore: drop unrelated installer/web changes
* fix: fall back to evdev backend
* style: format keyboard shortcut imports
