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

# Security Policy
## Supported Versions
| Version | Supported |
| ------- | ------------------ |
| 0.2.x | :white_check_mark: |
| < 0.2 | :x: |
## Reporting a Vulnerability
We take security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability within Vocalinux, please follow these steps:
### Do NOT
- Open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
- Disclose the vulnerability publicly before it's fixed
### Do
1. **Email the maintainer directly**: Send an email to jatinkrmalik@gmail.com with:
- A clear description of the vulnerability
- Steps to reproduce the issue
- Potential impact assessment
- Any suggested fixes (optional)
2. **Use the subject line**: "Vocalinux Security Vulnerability Report"
3. **Wait for acknowledgment**: You should receive a response within 48 hours
### What to Expect
1. **Acknowledgment**: We'll confirm receipt within 48 hours
2. **Assessment**: We'll evaluate the severity and impact
3. **Timeline**: We'll provide an estimated fix timeline
4. **Fix**: We'll work on a fix and coordinate disclosure
5. **Credit**: If desired, we'll credit you in the release notes
## Security Considerations
### Privacy
Vocalinux is designed with privacy in mind:
- **Offline by default**: The VOSK engine works completely offline
- **Local processing**: All speech recognition happens on your device
- **No data collection**: We don't collect or transmit your voice data
- **No telemetry**: We don't track usage or behavior
### Whisper AI
When using Whisper, be aware:
- Whisper processes locally on your machine
- Models are downloaded once and cached locally
- No audio data is sent to external servers
### File Permissions
The application stores data in:
- `~/.config/vocalinux/` - Configuration (mode 700)
- `~/.local/share/vocalinux/` - Data and models (mode 700)
### Known Limitations
1. **Text injection**: Uses xdotool/wtype which may have implications for input monitoring
2. **Keyboard shortcuts**: Global keyboard hooks require appropriate permissions
3. **Virtual environments**: Running in a venv provides some isolation
## Updates
Keep your installation updated to receive security fixes:
```bash
cd vocalinux
git pull origin main
pip install --upgrade -e .
```
