# Kon Handover — 2026/04/23

Consolidation session. Jake asked for "all branches to main and the repo in its best state" ahead of Corbie rebrand. This session brought outstanding Dependabot PRs into `main`, cleaned workspace lints, recovered an orphan stash onto a dedicated branch, and established a clean baseline for the post-rebrand push.

## Rebrand note

The product is in the process of being renamed **Kon → Corbie**. As of 2026/04/23 the canonical product name in any new copy (grant applications, landing pages) is **Corbie** (sentence case). The GitHub repo `jakejars/kon` and the Gitea repo `jake/kon` both still carry the `kon` name, intentionally — repo rename is pending Jake's own hand and is not blocking the rebrand copy-wise. Code paths (`crates/`, `src-tauri/`, package name `kon@0.1.0`) remain as-is until the repo rename lands; renaming the codebase identifiers is a separate coordinated sweep. See `memory/project_corbie_rebrand.md` in CORBEL-Main for the full rebrand state.

## What shipped this session

### Baseline validation
- Fresh `cargo build`, `cargo test --workspace`, `cargo fmt --check`, `npm run check`, `npm run build` run against the pre-consolidation tip (`9b0067b`, tagged as `pre-consolidation-2026-04-23` for recovery).
- `npm run build` initially failed with a missing-dependency error for `@chenglou/pretext`. Root cause: stale partial `node_modules` install dated 2026-04-21 07:45 — the directory for the package existed but was empty. `npm install` recovered it; package is present in lockfile and needed by `src/lib/utils/textMeasure.ts`.
- `cargo clippy -- -D warnings` initially failed with 3 errors in `crates/storage/src/file_storage.rs` (two doc-list overindentations, one needless return). These were trivial style issues that clippy had never enforced at CI strictness.

### Workspace clippy cleanup (commit `fe61661`)
- Applied `cargo clippy --fix` across 11 files: `crates/audio`, `crates/hotkey`, `crates/storage`, `crates/transcription`, `src-tauri`.
- Net -2 lines. No behavioural changes — pure lint cleanup (needless returns, unnecessary casts, `iter().any()` → `contains()`, `repeat().take()` → `repeat_n`, lifetime elision, `map_or` simplification, reference-immediately-dereferenced).
- One remaining warning left untouched: `needless_range_loop` at `src-tauri/src/commands/live.rs:1089` — clippy's suggested iterator rewrite would make it less readable. Earmarked for a focused refactor session.
- Build + 245 workspace tests remain green post-fix.

### Dependabot merges (commits `6579c5f`, `0b1c492`, `509b983`)
Three dev-dep bumps landed as `--no-ff` merge commits:

| # | Package | File changes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | `picomatch` | `package-lock.json` only |
| 2 | `@sveltejs/kit` | `package.json` + `package-lock.json` |
| 3 | `vite` (npm_and_yarn group) | `package.json` + `package-lock.json` |

After the three merges: `npm install` clean, `npm run build` green, `npm run check` 0 errors / 0 warnings. Vulnerability count went from 6 (1 low / 2 moderate / 3 high) to 5 (3 low / 2 moderate) — the three highs cleared.

### Orphan-stash recovery (branch `feat/design-system-recover`, commit `8855db8`)
- A WIP stash sat on `stash@{0}`, pinned to parent commit `1296173` — the tip of the deleted `feat/design-system` branch. ~1000 LOC across 24 files: `ai-formatting/rule_based.rs` rewrite, `transcription/local_engine.rs`, core `hardware.rs` + `recommendation.rs`, `audio/resample.rs`, and a sweep across Svelte UI (`TaskSidebar`, `FilesPage`, `TasksPage`, `WipTaskList`, `ModelDownloader`, `Titlebar`, `viewer`, `float`).
- Recovered using `git stash branch`, which creates a branch from the stash's parent commit and applies the stash content. Parent commit still existed in the reflog even though no branch referenced it.
- Committed the full recovery as `wip(design-system): recover orphan stash` on the new branch. **Not merged to main.** Needs a focused rebase session: heavy conflicts expected in `TasksPage`, `FilesPage`, `ai-formatting/rule_based.rs`, and `transcription/local_engine.rs` against current main since those all saw release-blocker fixes after the stash was taken. Also missing the 2026-04-23 clippy cleanup.
- Branch pushed to `github` for remote preservation.

## Release-blocker state (unchanged this session)

From `docs/issues/README.md`:

- **0 open CRITICAL**
- **1 open MAJOR** — RB-08 `power-assertion-macos-objc2` (awaits manual runtime verification on a real macOS machine: `pmset -g assertions` during a background live-session)
- **11 RBs resolved**
- **11 CR items resolved** from the 2026-04-22 code review

RB-08 continues to gate v0.1 tagging.

## Post-consolidation follow-up (evening 2026/04/23)

Jake asked for "nothing outstanding" on Corbie. Follow-up pass did:

### 1. npm audit triaged + safe minor bumps landed
- `@sveltejs/kit` 2.57.1 → **2.58.0**, `@sveltejs/adapter-static` 3.0.6 → **3.0.10** (commit `0e18a78`). Both are patch / minor SemVer — no API breakage.
- **Residual advisories accepted** (5 total: 3 low / 2 moderate, all transitive, not session-actionable):
  - **cookie@0.6.x** (3× low) pinned by `@sveltejs/kit@^0.6.0` as of kit 2.58.0. Upstream has not bumped the pin; fixed cookie version is `0.7+`. Advisory: out-of-bounds chars in name/path/domain. **Context**: Kon/Corbie is a Tauri desktop app, no public-facing HTTP server, so the attack surface for this is effectively nil. Re-triage when `@sveltejs/kit` lands a cookie bump.
  - **esbuild via svelte-i18n@4.0.1** (2× moderate) — `svelte-i18n` bundles `esbuild@^0.19.2` for its CLI. Advisory: "dev-server allows any website to read responses". **Context**: only affects `vite dev` over the network. In a Tauri desktop app the dev server is localhost-only and not relevant to production. `svelte-i18n` is already at latest (4.0.1); the only way to drop this is replace the i18n library.
- `npm audit --audit-level high` would report 0 vulnerabilities; GitHub's richer advisory db may still show the transitive set but none are actionable without upstream bumps.

### 2. needless_range_loop refactor landed
Commit `2b82b9b` — `src-tauri/src/commands/live.rs:1087` duplicate-merge inner loop rewritten as `for segment in &nearby[start..upper]`. Workspace now **zero clippy warnings** with `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets`. Safe to turn on `-D warnings` in CI when desired.

### 3. `feat/design-system-recover` evaluated, WIP layer abandoned
Compared the branch against current main:
- The handoff commit's content (design tokens, fonts, previews, ui_kits) is **already on main** as commit `8ba5641`. Recovery branch just duplicates it from a different base.
- The WIP layer on top modifies 24 files (TasksPage, FilesPage, WipTaskList, TaskSidebar, viewer, float, local_engine, rule_based, etc.) against a base main has since significantly refactored (RB-01 through RB-12 + all the CR-2026-04-22 fixes + a preferences.svelte.js → .ts conversion).
- Test merge surfaces **14+ conflicts** needing per-file, designer-intent-aware resolution. Conflict cost > value of the WIP given main has already moved past most of it.
- **Decision: abandon the WIP**. Local branch deleted. `github/feat/design-system-recover` preserved as a read-only archive for reference mining. Any design-system polish from here gets redone fresh against current main rather than rebased through a stale WIP.

## Still deferred (not session-actionable)

- **RB-08 verification** — needs macOS hardware access. Gates v0.1 tag. One concrete open item.
- **Kon → Corbie codebase rename** — Jake handles repo rename (Gitea + GitHub); coordinated codebase sweep (package name `kon@0.1.0` → `corbie@0.1.0`, crate prefixes `kon-*` → `corbie-*`, desktop file, binary name, install paths `~/.local/share/kon/` → `~/.local/share/corbie/`, database filename `kon.db`, window titles, README body) should follow the repo rename so artefact names match. Will need a migration shim to keep existing users' data alive across the path change.
- **npm audit residuals** — see §1 above. Re-visit when `@sveltejs/kit` bumps its cookie pin, or when an i18n replacement is chosen.
- **CI clippy enforcement** — workspace is now clean with default clippy. Turning on `-D warnings` in CI costs nothing additional.
- **Transparent windows**, **file-system export**, **bulk select/export**, **LLM content tags**, **Settings UX overhaul**, **Task 7 walk-through** — all carried from 2026-04-19 handover.

## Repo state at end of follow-up
