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

* fix: reformatted by black

* fix: unit test in test_main_initializes_components

* fix typo

* Apply suggestion from @jatinkrmalik

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

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

* fix typo

* feat: add remote API recognition manager test suite

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

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

Fixes #404
Closes #405

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

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

Fixes #396

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* test(coverage): add runtime fallback and ibus retry coverage

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

* 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.

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

* 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.

* fix(text-injection): avoid blocking IBus and clipboard fallbacks

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

* test(ibus): update retry tests for merged NO_ENGINE recovery logic

---------

Co-authored-by: Sisyphus <clio-agent@sisyphuslabs.ai>

* 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.

* fix(installer): repair pywhispercpp library loading (#433)

* fix: play stop sound immediately on release (#426)

* fix(recognition): play stop sound after audio thread joins to prevent capture on short recordings (#436)

Moves play_stop_sound() to after audio_thread.join() but before the
final buffer processing. This closes the race where the audio thread's
in-flight chunk could capture the stop cue for short (≤ ~192 ms) recordings,
while still feeling immediate compared to the original placement after all
recognition cleanup.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Follow-up polish from review of #420.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* test: add whispercpp_n_threads to mock assertions and config defaults

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Closes #344

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

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

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

- 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
