* feat(text-injection): use IBus on unbridged compositors when ibus-wayland runs
The `_IBUS_UNBRIDGED_COMPOSITORS` denylist assumes nothing sits between
the compositor and ibus-daemon. Since IBus 1.5.32 that is no longer a
safe assumption: IBus ships `ibus-wayland`, which implements
`zwp_input_method_v2` and relays commits to native Wayland clients
speaking text-input-v3. Every compositor on the denylist exposes
`zwp_input_method_manager_v2`, so with the bridge running they are
bridged, and skipping IBus falls back to a slower path unnecessarily.
Add a live `pgrep -x ibus-wayland` probe and let it override the
denylist. Scoped to the denylist branch only, so GNOME and the KDE
VirtualKeyboard path (#574) are untouched.
Behaviour is unchanged when the bridge is not running, and because the
check is a live probe rather than configuration it degrades back to the
denylist by itself if the bridge dies or was never started. Cost is one
pgrep per TextInjector construction, not per injection.
Verified on Hyprland 0.56.1 with IBus 1.5.34: dictation into Electron
apps (VSCodium, Electron 39/41) and kitty commits through IBus, 303
chars in ~200ms versus 16.8s for 415 chars via `ydotool type`.
Also adds VOCALINUX_FORCE_BACKEND (ibus|wtype|ydotool|auto) as discussed
in #607. Autodetection has to infer whether IBus commits actually reach
the focused app and cannot verify it -- commit_text() reports success
even when the text is dropped -- so an escape hatch is useful when the
inference is wrong, and it makes the two paths A/B-testable without
editing code. Unknown values fall back to auto with a warning rather
than silently pinning a backend. Related to #476 and #402; happy to drop
this from the PR if it should follow their design instead.
Two existing tests asserted the unbridged outcome without pinning the
probe -- one blanket-mocks subprocess.run to returncode=0, the other
shells out for real -- so both now state the "no bridge" precondition
explicitly rather than depending on the host.
Note for users: Chromium only opens a zwp_text_input_v3 seat when
launched with --enable-wayland-ime; without it the bridge runs and the
app still receives nothing.
Closes#607
* test(text-injection): cover bridge override and forced-backend branches
Codecov flagged the new branches in _check_dependencies as uncovered
(74% patch, below the 80% target).
Adds four tests to TestCheckDependencies:
- unbridged compositor + ibus-wayland running selects IBus
- VOCALINUX_FORCE_BACKEND=wtype pins wtype where IBus would be chosen
- VOCALINUX_FORCE_BACKEND=ydotool pins ydotool even with wtype present
- VOCALINUX_FORCE_BACKEND=ibus bypasses the reachability guards, with
neither a daemon nor a bridge available
Every line added by this PR is now covered.
* fix(injection): skip unbridged IBus on KDE Plasma Wayland
Do not auto-start XIM ibus-daemon on Wayland (circular viability check).
On KDE, require KWin VirtualKeyboard enabled before selecting IBus.
Fixes#574
* refactor(injection): tighten KDE VirtualKeyboard bridge check
Ponytail cleanup: shorter logs and fewer failure branches, same behavior.
* style: black-format ibus daemon Wayland test for CI
* fix(injection): parse KWin VirtualKeyboard gdbus variants strictly
Match <<true>>/<<false>> wrappers instead of bare substrings so ambiguous
gdbus output cannot flip the #574 IBus bridge decision.

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.
* feat(flatpak): add Flatpak packaging for universal distribution
Adds a Flathub-ready Flatpak for the whisper.cpp engine, plus the minimal
runtime adaptations Flatpak actually needs — deliberately scoped down from the
earlier attempts (#416, #428), which bundled unrelated whisper.cpp GPU, audio,
and clipboard changes.
Packaging (packaging/flatpak/):
- app manifest, AppStream metainfo, and desktop entry (com.vocalinux.Vocalinux)
- generated offline Python dependency modules (flatpak-pip-generator)
- bundled shared modules: PortAudio, libayatana-appindicator, xdotool, xsel
Runtime changes (Flatpak-only, behaviour unchanged outside a sandbox):
- utils/paths.py: honour XDG_CONFIG_HOME/XDG_DATA_HOME so config, models and
runtime data live under ~/.var/app/<app-id> in the sandbox
- autostart uses `flatpak run <app-id>` (the host launcher is always on PATH)
- text injection and keyboard backend detect a Wayland host reached via XWayland
(no Wayland socket granted) and route through xdotool / pynput-on-X11
- tray indicator references the exported `<app-id>-*` host icon theme names
Also: a CI workflow building x86_64 + aarch64 bundles, and README / packaging
README / distro-compatibility doc updates.
Verified with a full flatpak-builder build + bundle install on aarch64:
pywhispercpp loads its native libraries without LD_LIBRARY_PATH, XDG paths
redirect correctly, bundled tools are present, and the entrypoint runs.
Manifest and builddir lint are clean and AppStream metadata validates.
Closes#167
* chore(flatpak): sync metainfo version to 0.14.0-beta
Also ignore flatpak-build-dir/ so local builder output stays untracked.
* refactor(flatpak): trim docs and comments after ponytail review
Drop redundant packaging README command blocks, shrink path/tray/autostart
comments, and stop ignoring a non-canonical build-dir name.
* fix(flatpak): close readiness gaps for v0.14.0-beta
Route log files through XDG data dirs so Flatpak keeps them under
~/.var/app, refresh AppStream screenshots to vocalinux.com, and use
the SPDX GPL-3.0-only license id.
* fix(flatpak): enable global hotkeys via evdev and --device=input
pynput over XWayland only receives keys for the focused X client. Prefer
evdev inside Flatpak and grant /dev/input so shortcuts work app-wide.
* fix(flatpak): inject text with ydotool/uinput on Wayland
xdotool only reaches XWayland clients, so typing appeared to succeed but
never hit native apps. Ship ydotool, grant --device=all for uinput, start
ydotoold on demand, and type via uinput inside the Flatpak.
* fix(flatpak): paste via wl-copy + Ctrl+V instead of typing
ydotool type injects character-by-character. Ship wl-clipboard, grant
--socket=wayland, and prefer clipboard paste for instant insertion.
* test(text-injection): expect ydotool default key-delay of 2
Matches the shipped VOCALINUX_YDOTOOL_KEY_DELAY default used when
clipboard paste falls back to character typing.
Pass --key-delay 8 to ydotool type instead of relying on the default
(12-20ms). This makes text injection ~3x faster while keeping key-delay
above zero to avoid the Shift-leak bug where capital letters corrupt
following characters.
The delay is configurable via VOCALINUX_YDOTOOL_KEY_DELAY env var.
Note: --key-hold flag from the original issue does not exist in standard
ydotool (verified against official man page and v1.0.4 source).
Fixes#482
* fix(text_injection): use wtype on compositors that don't bridge IBus to native apps
On Wayland compositors that don't bridge IBus to native clients (COSMIC,
Sway, Hyprland, Wayfire, river, niri, ...), the IBus engine's commit_text()
reaches only XWayland and GTK/Qt apps that load the IBus IM module. Native
apps such as cosmic-term receive nothing, yet inject_text() reports success,
so dictation silently does nothing.
- Add a compositor denylist (_wayland_compositor_bridges_ibus) so IBus is
skipped on those compositors and the virtual-keyboard path (wtype/ydotool)
is used instead. A denylist (rather than an allowlist) keeps the existing
IBus-preferred behaviour on unrecognised desktops. Complements the recent
KDE Plasma Wayland handling, which covers the mirror-image case.
- Replace the unreliable `ydotool type ""` probe (exits 0 even with no daemon)
with _is_ydotoold_running(), so a daemonless ydotool install correctly falls
back to wtype instead of selecting a no-op ydotool.
- Add unit tests for the compositor gate, the ydotoold check, and that an
active-IBus COSMIC session selects wtype.

* test(text_injection): cover ydotoold socket-env and ydotool direct-mode paths
Add tests for the two new branches codecov/patch flagged as uncovered:

ydotool direct-mode fallback when no daemon and no wtype are available.

Two independent text-injection bugs on Wayland:
1. Clipboard copy silently failed. wl-copy/xclip/xsel fork a background
process that keeps owning the selection; capturing its stderr with
subprocess.PIPE makes run() block on the surviving child until the
clipboard is next overwritten, so the call always hits its timeout and
_copy_to_clipboard reports failure even though the copy succeeded.
Redirect stdout/stderr to DEVNULL so run() only waits for the
short-lived foreground process.
2. ydotool scrambled text on non-US keyboard layouts. `ydotool type`
emits positional evdev keycodes that get re-interpreted through the
active layout (assumed US QWERTY), so dictated text came out garbled on
AZERTY/QWERTZ/Dvorak (e.g. "message" -> ",essqge") and non-ASCII was
dropped. Always inject via clipboard paste (Ctrl+V) for ydotool, which
is layout-independent and Unicode-safe.
Adds regression tests for both.

* fix(threading): harden thread safety for HTTP session, IBus, and text injector
Four critical thread-safety fixes identified during PR #335 review:
1. Remote API: snapshot _http_session under _model_lock in
_process_audio_buffer() to prevent use-after-close races with
reconfigure/reinitialize. Pass session as explicit parameter to
_transcribe_with_remote_api, _try_whispercpp_server_api, and
_try_openai_api. Call _http_session.close() before setting to None
in reinitialize_after_resume(). Remove blocking connection probe
from _init_remote_api() (settings dialog has a Test Connection
button for that).
2. Text injector: extend _state_lock to protect stop() (writes
_ibus_injector=None and _ibus_ready=False) and inject_text() reads
of environment/_ibus_injector. Also guard environment/wayland_tool
writes in _switch_to_non_ibus_backend() and WAYLAND_XDOTOOL fallback
in inject_text's exception handler.
3. IBus engine: snapshot cls._active_instance into a local variable
before the do_inject closure in the socket server handler, closing
the TOCTOU race with do_destroy().
4. Test suspend handler: add _http_session=None to _make_manager()
fixture so reinitialize_after_resume() finds the attribute.
Ultraworked with [Sisyphus](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent)
* test(threading): update tests for thread-safety changes
- test_recognition_manager_remote_api: pass session param to
_transcribe_with_remote_api, _try_openai_api, and
_try_whispercpp_server_api. Update assert_called_once_with patterns
for the new session argument. Simplify init tests that no longer
need connection probe mocks (removed from _init_remote_api).
- test_text_injector: add threading.Lock to all TextInjector.__new__()
instances so _state_lock is available for lock-guarded methods.
- test_suspend_handler: add _http_session=None to _make_manager()
fixture so reinitialize_after_resume() finds the attribute.
Ultraworked with [Sisyphus](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent)
* test(threading): improve coverage for thread-safety fixes
Add tests for _process_audio_buffer remote API dispatch (session snapshot
under lock, early return when session is None) and reinitialize_after_resume
session close. Mark server_thread as pragma: no cover (blocked by conftest
to prevent CI hangs).
* 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.
* 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(text-injection): handle non-ASCII characters with ydotool via clipboard paste (fixes#362)
ydotool simulates evdev key events which only map to US ASCII keycodes.
Non-ASCII characters (accented letters like á, é, ú, ñ, ü, etc.) get
silently dropped during injection, so 'Esdrújula' becomes 'Esdrjula'.
When ydotool is the active Wayland injection tool and the text contains
non-ASCII characters, the new code:
1. Copies text to clipboard via wl-copy (or xclip/xsel fallback)
2. Simulates Ctrl+V via ydotool key to paste it
3. Falls back to regular ydotool type if clipboard tools unavailable
This preserves all Unicode characters perfectly. ASCII-only text still
uses ydotool type directly for lower latency.
* style: fix black formatting in text_injector.py
* test: add coverage for clipboard paste paths (xclip/xsel/wtype fallbacks)
Covers the uncovered paths flagged by Codecov:
- xclip fallback when wl-copy unavailable
- xsel fallback when wl-copy/xclip unavailable
- wtype Ctrl+V paste simulation
- Paste failure (Ctrl+V fails after clipboard copy)
- No clipboard tools available
* refactor(text-injection): eliminate duplication and dead code in clipboard paste path
- _inject_via_clipboard_paste now delegates to _copy_to_clipboard instead
of reimplementing wl-copy/xclip/xsel selection (removes ~30 lines of
duplication identified in code review)
- Remove unreachable wtype branch from _inject_via_clipboard_paste; wtype
handles Unicode natively via Wayland virtual-keyboard protocol so it
never calls this method
- Drop unnecessary time.sleep(0.05) after clipboard write; subprocess.run
for wl-copy is synchronous so the sleep was a no-op
- Add debug log noting the clipboard will be temporarily overwritten so
operators can observe the side-effect without diving into the code
test improvements:
- Fix fragile string-repr assertion in test_ydotool_ascii_uses_type_directly;
now compares actual list slices and verifies wl-copy is NOT called
- Replace test_clipboard_paste_with_wtype with test_wtype_injects_unicode_directly
which actively asserts wtype calls the tool directly without clipboard
- Add test_inject_text_ydotool_non_ascii_end_to_end covering the full
inject_text -> _inject_with_wayland_tool -> _inject_via_clipboard_paste
stack for accented text on Wayland+ydotool (fixes#362)
- Remove now-unnecessary @patch('time.sleep') decorators from three tests
* fix(ibus): raise exception on setup failure to enable fallback
- Add IBusSetupError exception class for detailed error context
- Modify _setup_engine() to raise exception instead of silent return
- Ensures text_injector.py fallback mechanism works when IBus fails
- Add unit tests for IBusSetupError and setup failure scenarios
Fixes silent IBus text injection failures on Wayland/Fedora reported in #34

Removes the _escape_text method and its usage since text is passed to
subprocess.run() via list arguments, not shell strings. When using
subprocess with a list (without shell=True), arguments are passed directly
to the command without shell interpretation, making shell escaping
unnecessary and actually harmful.
This fixes the bug where apostrophes and other special characters were
typed with backslash escapes (e.g., "Let\'s" instead of "Let's").
Changes:
- Remove _escape_text() method from TextInjector class
- Remove escaped_text variable from inject_text() method
- Pass text directly to _inject_with_xdotool() and _inject_with_wayland_tool()
- Update docstrings to remove references to escaped text
- Update tests to verify text is NOT escaped when passed to subprocess

* 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.
