agent: lumotia — v0.1 release-completion run

Closes the code-side v0.1 ship gate. All quality gates green:
cargo fmt/clippy/test (~327 tests), npm check (0/0), vitest 13/13,
scripts/dogfood-rebrand-drill.sh 8/8.

Phase F — first-run onboarding promoted to v0.1
- FirstRunPage with skip-to-main + failure recovery + event recording
- Six onboarding commands (record/list/has-completed + lumotia_events)
- Storage migration v17 (onboarding_events + lumotia_events tables)

UI hardening (in-scope items from v0.1-ui-hardening.md)
- StatusPill + PostCaptureCard components, 21st preview entry
- Sidebar recording-as-sacred-state (opacity + aria-disabled, reduced-motion)
- Settings 6-section regroup + Help section + Activation log + Privacy toggle
- Error-state copy sweep (DictationPage + SettingsPage, plain-language)
- Global :focus-visible rule, textarea outlines restored
- Ctrl+K / Ctrl+, / Escape bindings in +layout

LLM resilience
- rule_based_extract_tasks (regex-free imperative-verb extractor) +
  extract_tasks_with_fallback wrapper — task extraction never returns zero
- tokio::time::timeout(120s) wraps cleanup/tags/tasks commands

Release artefacts
- LICENSE (canonical AGPL-3.0), CHANGELOG (Keep-a-Changelog format)
- v0.1-release-notes, privacy-and-ai-use, install-warnings,
  tester-onboarding-kit, tester-acceptance-runbook, code-signing-setup,
  apple-silicon-rb08-runbook, virtual-audio-setup, v0.1-contrast-audit
- Workspace versioning + AGPL spdx; npm exact-pin (10 ranges removed)
- AppImage SHA-256 sidecar in build.yml
- README v0.1 section + Reporting-issues; canonical repo slug

Closure pass — items moved from human-required to code-complete

+---
+
+# Apple Silicon RB-08 runbook
+
+Verification of RB-08: does Lumotia's `NSProcessInfo.beginActivityWithOptions` call actually prevent App Nap on M-series hardware? This takes roughly 10 minutes on a machine that already has the app installed.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- M-series Mac (M1, M2, M3, or M4 — any chip revision)
+- Latest macOS release
+- Lumotia v0.1.0 `.dmg` installed via the Gatekeeper "Open Anyway" flow (see `docs/release/install-warnings.md`)
+
+---
+
+## Step 1 — Baseline
+
+Open Activity Monitor (Spotlight: `Activity Monitor`). Click the Energy tab. Find Lumotia. If the App Nap column is missing, right-click the column header bar and enable it.
+
+Open Lumotia, bring its window to the front. Confirm App Nap shows **No** while the window is focused. This is the expected baseline.
+
+---
+
+## Test 1 — Focused recording (60 seconds)
+
+Keep the Lumotia window in the foreground. Start a recording. Speak for 60 seconds. Stop.
+
+**Expected:** Full 60-second transcript. App Nap stayed **No**.
+
+**Failure:** Transcript shorter than what was spoken, or transcription did not complete.
+
+---
+
+## Test 2 — Backgrounded recording (60 seconds)
+
+Start a recording. Immediately press Command-Tab to switch to another app. Speak for 60 seconds while Lumotia is in the background. Switch back. Stop the recording.
+
+While waiting, watch Activity Monitor: does App Nap flip to **Yes** for Lumotia?
+
+**Expected (RB-08 mitigated):** Full 60-second transcript. App Nap stayed **No** throughout.
+
+**Failure (RB-08 not mitigated):** Transcript contains only the first few seconds of speech. App Nap column flipped to Yes during the background period.
+
+---
+
+## Test 3 — Long backgrounded session (5 minutes)
+
+Same as Test 2 but leave Lumotia backgrounded for 5 minutes.
+
+**Expected:** Full 5-minute transcript.
+
+**Failure:** Transcript truncated. Note the approximate cutoff in seconds.
+
+---
+
+## Recording the outcome
+
+**All three tests pass — RB-08 mitigated:**
+
+1. Tick the RB-08 item in `docs/release/v0.1-checklist.md`.
+2. Open `KNOWN-ISSUES.md`, find KI-01, update its status to "fixed in v0.1", and append the test results + Mac model + macOS version.
+
+**Test 2 or Test 3 fails — RB-08 not mitigated:**
+
+1. Leave the RB-08 checklist item unchecked.
+2. In `docs/release/v0.1-known-limitations.md`, update the macOS row to name the tested hardware/OS and state that throttling was observed when backgrounded.
+3. Add the workaround: "Keep the Lumotia window focused during long dictation sessions. System-wide override: `defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAppSleepDisabled -bool YES` (revert with `-bool NO` when done)."
+4. Append the failure details to `KNOWN-ISSUES.md` KI-01.
+
+---
+
+## Reporting format for KNOWN-ISSUES.md
+
+Append this block to the KI-01 entry:
+
+```
+RB-08 verification — [date]
+Mac model: [e.g. MacBook Pro M2 Max, 2023]
+macOS: [e.g. 15.3.2]
+Test 1 (focused, 60s): PASS / FAIL
+Test 2 (backgrounded, 60s): PASS / FAIL — App Nap column: [Yes / No / fluctuated]
+Test 3 (backgrounded, 5min): PASS / FAIL — transcript cutoff at approx [N] seconds
+Overall: MITIGATED / NOT MITIGATED

+description: "Step-by-step walkthrough: procure signing certificates and set the GitHub secrets that activate conditional code-signing in the CI workflow."
+---
+
+# Code-signing setup
+
+The CI workflow (`build.yml`) signs automatically when the relevant GitHub secrets are present. If they aren't set, the workflow still builds correctly — it just produces an unsigned `.dmg` / `.msi`. Set the secrets once and every subsequent tag push signs for free.
+
+Linux ships clean today: the AppImage is unsigned but accompanied by a SHA-256 checksum, which is sufficient for the v0.1 trust posture.
+
+---
+
+## macOS — Developer ID signing + notarisation
+
+**Prerequisite:** enrol in the Apple Developer Program at <https://developer.apple.com> ($99/year individual or $299/year organisation). Notarisation requires an enrolled account; unsigned `.dmg` files trigger Gatekeeper warnings (documented in `docs/release/install-warnings.md`).
+
+1. **Generate a Developer ID Application certificate.**
+   - Xcode → Settings → Accounts → select your Apple ID → Manage Certificates → click `+` → Developer ID Application.
+   - Alternatively: Apple Developer portal → Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles → Certificates → `+`.
+
+2. **Export the certificate as a `.p12`.**
+   - Open Keychain Access → My Certificates → find "Developer ID Application: Your Name (TEAMID)".
+   - Right-click → Export → choose `.p12` format → set a strong export password. Keep the password; you'll need it next.
+
+3. **Base64-encode the `.p12` for GitHub.**
+   ```sh
+   base64 -i developer-id.p12 | pbcopy
+   ```
+
+4. **Set the GitHub secrets** (run from the repo root; paste when prompted):
+   ```sh
+   gh secret set APPLE_CERTIFICATE            # paste the base64 blob
+   gh secret set APPLE_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD   # the .p12 export password
+   gh secret set APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY       # e.g. "Developer ID Application: Jake Sames (AB12CD34EF)"
+   gh secret set APPLE_ID                     # your Apple ID email address
+   gh secret set APPLE_PASSWORD               # an app-specific password from appleid.apple.com
+   gh secret set APPLE_TEAM_ID               # 10-character team ID (visible in the Developer portal)
+   ```
+   To create the app-specific password: <https://appleid.apple.com> → Sign-In and Security → App-Specific Passwords → Generate.
+
+5. **Re-tag.** The next CI run will sign and notarise the `.dmg` automatically. The `tauri-action` runner detects the env vars at build time — no workflow edits required.
+
+---
+
+## Windows — EV code-signing certificate
+
+**Why EV and not OV?** Extended Validation certificates earn immediate SmartScreen reputation. OV certificates require download volume to "warm up" before SmartScreen stops warning users. For a new product, EV is the only practical path to a clean install experience.
+
+1. **Purchase an EV code-signing certificate.** Reputable CAs:
+   - DigiCert — supports KeyLocker (cloud signing, CI-friendly)
+   - Sectigo — supports Code Signing on Demand
+   - SSL.com — supports eSigner cloud signing
+   Typical cost: £200–£400/year. Budget 1–5 business days for identity verification.
+
+2. **Use the CA's cloud-signing service for CI.** EV certs ship on a USB hardware token that cannot be copied to a CI runner. Every major CA now offers a cloud equivalent:
+   - DigiCert KeyLocker, Sectigo CSOD, SSL.com eSigner.
+   - Follow the CA's CI integration guide to obtain a signing credential (usually a client certificate or API token) that does not require the physical token.
+
+3. **Set the GitHub secrets** once you have the cloud-signing credential:
+   ```sh
+   gh secret set WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE          # base64-encoded cert (local) or cloud-signing client cert
+   gh secret set WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD # cert password / PIN
+   ```
+   If your CA's cloud-signing workflow requires additional env vars (e.g. a KeyLocker API key), set those as secrets and pass them in the `env:` block of the `Build (release)` step in `build.yml` — keep the existing pattern.
+
+4. **Re-tag.** The `tauri-action` runner picks up `WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE` + `WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD` and signs the `.msi` and `.exe` automatically.
+
+---
+
+## Verify after setting secrets
+
+Run a test tag to confirm signing is working before the real release:
+
+```sh
+git tag v0.1.0-test1
+git push origin v0.1.0-test1
+```
+
+Watch the CI run. In the macOS job log look for `Signed using developer ID...` and in the Windows job look for `Signed using SignTool`. Once confirmed, delete the test tag:
+
+```sh
+git push --delete origin v0.1.0-test1
+git tag -d v0.1.0-test1
+```
+
+---
+
+## Until signing is configured
+
+- macOS users see a Gatekeeper warning on first launch. Workaround: right-click the `.dmg` → Open. Documented in `docs/release/install-warnings.md`.
+- Windows users see a SmartScreen warning on first run. Workaround: More info → Run anyway. Documented in `docs/release/install-warnings.md`.
+- Linux ships clean today (AppImage + SHA-256 checksum).

+
+# First-install warnings — Lumotia v0.1
+
+When you install a new unsigned app, your OS will say something. This page tells you what to expect on each platform and what to do. The warnings are expected.
+
+## macOS — Gatekeeper warning
+
+**What you'll see.** One of:
+
+- "App can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."
+- "[App] is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash."
+
+**Why it happens.** Lumotia v0.1 is not notarised with an Apple Developer ID. macOS Gatekeeper blocks unsigned apps by default. Neither message means the file is damaged or malicious.
+
+**What to do.** Two options, either works:
+
+1. System Settings → Privacy & Security → Security section → click "Open Anyway" next to the Lumotia entry, then confirm.
+2. In Finder, Control-click the app → Open → click Open in the dialog.
+
+macOS remembers your choice; you only do this once.
+
+**When this goes away.** When we ship a notarised build with an Apple Developer ID. Tracked in the v0.1 release checklist; see `KNOWN-ISSUES.md` for status.
+
+---
+
+## Windows — SmartScreen warning
+
+**What you'll see.** A blue dialog: "Windows protected your PC."
+
+**Why it happens.** Lumotia v0.1 ships without an EV code-signing certificate. SmartScreen flags installers from publishers without established reputation.
+
+**What to do.**
+
+1. Click "More info" in the SmartScreen dialog.
+2. Click "Run anyway".
+
+SmartScreen does not re-block the app on relaunch after you've done this once.
+
+**When this goes away.** When we ship an EV-signed installer.
+
+---
+
+## Linux — AppImage verification
+
+No OS-level warning on Linux. Verify the file yourself before running it.
+
+**Verify the download.** The release page publishes a `.sha256` file alongside the AppImage:
+
+```sh
+sha256sum -c lumotia-0.1.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage.sha256
+```
+
+Or compare manually:
+
+```sh
+sha256sum lumotia-0.1.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage
+```
+
+Check the output against the value in the `.sha256` file. A match means the file is intact.
+
+**Mark it executable before running:**
+
+```sh
+chmod +x lumotia-0.1.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage
+./lumotia-0.1.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage
+```
+
+**GPG signing.** Not available in v0.1. When a signing key is published, it will appear on the release page.
+
+**When this changes.** GPG signing is deferred to a near-term point release.

+# Privacy + AI-use disclosure
+
+Lumotia v0.1 — last reviewed 2026-05-14.
+
+---
+
+## What stays local
+
+Every piece of data the app creates or captures lives only on your machine:
+
+- Audio recordings (captured, processed, then discarded from memory — not persisted to disk by default)
+- Raw transcripts (exactly what the speech engine heard, always recoverable)
+- Cleaned transcripts (LLM-formatted versions; the raw is always preserved alongside)
+- Extracted tasks and subtasks
+- MicroStep breakdowns and focus-timer state
+- Transcript and task history (SQLite database in your app-data directory)
+- Downloaded speech models (Whisper, Parakeet) and LLM model files (GGUF)
+- Custom vocabulary and profile terms
+- Activation log events (if you opt in — see below)
+- Onboarding state and preferences
+
+Nothing in this list is ever transmitted automatically.
+
+---
+
+## What optionally reaches the network
+
+There are exactly two outbound network paths in v0.1:
+
+**1. Model downloads (huggingface.co)**
+
+When you pick or download a speech model or LLM in onboarding or Settings → Models, Lumotia fetches the model file from `https://huggingface.co`. The request contains only a standard HTTP GET for a specific file URL (content-addressed, pinned to a commit hash). No account, no user identifier, no transcript content is sent. The download is initiated by your explicit action. Once downloaded, the model runs fully on-device.
+
+**2. Update check (stub in v0.1)**
+
+Lumotia includes a `check_for_update` command wired to `tauri-plugin-updater`. In v0.1 this function returns immediately with no update available — no network request is made. This will change in a future release; when it does, the check will be user-initiated or clearly disclosed.
+
+**What about `npm audit` and supply-chain tooling?**
+
+`npm audit` and the supply-chain pre-flight in `run.sh` are development-time tools only. They run when a developer builds from source, not in the installed application. The packaged app contains no npm runtime and makes no npm network calls.
+
+---
+
+## What NEVER leaves the machine
+
+These are hard commitments, not soft defaults:
+
+- Your voice recordings
+- Your transcript text (raw or cleaned)
+- Your task content
+- Your extracted MicroSteps
+- Your activation log
+- Your history and search index
+
+There is no telemetry system, no analytics pipeline, no crash-reporting service, and no background process that phones home. Crash dumps and logs are stored locally and are only shared if you explicitly bundle and attach them to a support issue (see below).
+
+---
+
+## AI use disclosure
+
+Lumotia uses a local large language model for two narrow purposes: transcript cleanup and task extraction. The model is downloaded once and runs entirely on your device. It never sees data outside those two call sites — there is no chat surface, no persistent conversation history, and no system prompt that accumulates your content across sessions. The raw Whisper transcript is always preserved; LLM output is additive, never destructive.
+
+The app itself was built with AI assistance. That process is documented in `docs/release/how-lumotia-is-built.md`, including the audits and guardrails applied to AI-generated code before it was committed.
+
+---
+
+## MCP server caveat
+
+Lumotia includes an optional MCP server (`lumotia-mcp`) you can wire into Claude Desktop, Cline, or any MCP-capable client. It is:
+
+- **Read-only.** No tool can create, edit, or delete transcripts or tasks.
+- **Stdio-only.** No network listener. No TCP socket. No Unix socket.
+- **Off by default.** You must explicitly launch it and add it to your MCP client's configuration.
+
+The honest thing to flag: when you wire `lumotia-mcp` into an MCP client, that client gets read access to your entire transcript history and task list. There is no per-row permission system in v0.1. Treat it the same way you would treat giving a tool access to a folder of personal notes — only enable it if you trust the client end-to-end.
+
+---
+
+## Activation log
+
+The activation log is opt-in and local-only. It records milestone events — first capture, first export, first task extracted — in the `lumotia_events` table in your local database. It contains no transcript text and no audio. Nothing is sent automatically. You can read it via Settings → Diagnostics → Activation log, and you can clear it or opt out from the same screen.
+
+---
+
+## Crash dumps and logs
+
+Lumotia captures Rust panics and frontend errors to disk so you have something useful to attach if you file a bug report. Files are written to:
+
+- `<app-data-dir>/crashes/` — panic and crash dumps
+- `<app-data-dir>/logs/lumotia.log` — runtime log
+
+Neither location contains transcript text or audio. The diagnostic-report bundler in Settings → About assembles a redacted snapshot from these directories; it skips transcript content and audio files by default. You decide whether to share the bundle.
+
+On Linux, `<app-data-dir>` is typically `~/.local/share/uk.co.corbel.lumotia`.
+
+---
+
+## Your data, your machine
+
+Lumotia is open source. The repository is public. The licence is to be finalised before public beta; current intent is a permissive open-source licence. You can read every line of code that handles your data, run the test suite, and verify the claims on this page yourself. If you find a discrepancy between this document and the codebase, file an issue — we will fix whichever one is wrong.

+## Summary
+
+- [ ] Cold-setup pass (steps 1–4) — completed without coaching: yes / no
+- [ ] Warm-activation pass (steps 5–10) — completed in 3 minutes or less: yes / no
+- [ ] Tester confidence — would they use this again next week: yes / no / unsure
+
+Cold-setup: confusion counts as a failure, not just crashes. Warm-activation: model-inference latency is not a UX failure; unclear buttons are.

+
+## How many testers, on which platforms
+
+Target: 20 testers across three platforms. Bias toward Linux — it is the primary platform, bugs surface fastest, and iteration is quickest.
+
+| Platform | Target count | Priority |
+|---|---|---|
+| Linux (Fedora or Ubuntu) | 8–10 | Primary — recruit first |
+| macOS Apple Silicon | 5–7 | Best-effort — needed for RB-08 verification |
+| Windows 11 | 3–5 | Best-effort |
+
+For week 1 of private beta, 5–7 testers total across all platforms is realistic. The public-launch metric (20 strangers, post-tag) is separate.
+
+When recruiting, prefer people who:
+- Actually dictate or take notes for work
+- Are comfortable with "this is pre-release software"
+- Will reply honestly if something breaks (not just go quiet)
+
+Avoid recruiting anyone who will feel obligated to say it's great.
+
+## Day-3 check-in (if no reply)
+
+Send this if a tester hasn't replied after three days:
+
+```
+Hi {{NAME}},
+
+Just checking in on the Lumotia install. If you got stuck or something broke,
+tell me what you saw — that is the most useful feedback I can get right now.
+
+If you didn't get a chance to try it, no worries. Let me know and I'll follow
+up later or remove you from the list.
+
+Jake
+```
+
+Do not send a second nudge after this. Silence after two messages means the install failed silently or life happened.
+
+## Feedback collection
+
+**Routing replies.** Every reply goes into one of two places:
+
+1. Real bug or confusing UX — add to `docs/release/v0.1-known-limitations.md` under "Reporting issues" or open a GitHub issue.
+2. Deferred or unclear — add to a private scratch file (`docs/private/v0.1.1-deferred-notes.md`, not committed). Do not let it sit in your inbox.
+
+After the first five replies: identify the three most common stumbling points and add workarounds to `docs/release/v0.1-known-limitations.md`. This is a required metric (see v0.1-checklist.md "Support burden signal").
+
+**Activation log.** Ask testers who are comfortable to optionally share their activation log after three days of use: Settings → Privacy → Activation log. They paste the table into their reply. This is fully local and opt-in — never require it.
+
+**Target state.** At least 70% of issues should be self-service (tester can describe what went wrong without a call). If you drop below 50%, improve docs and the diagnostic bundle flow before recruiting more testers.
+
+## Once a tester replies
+
+When a tester sends a reply that includes an activation log or a diagnostic bundle, use the parser scripts to extract actionable information in under a minute.
+
+### Parsing an activation log
+
+Testers paste their activation log table from Settings → Privacy → Activation log. Save the pasted content to a file and run:
+
+```sh
+python3 scripts/parse-activation-log.py path/to/tester-activation.json
+```
+
+Or if they pasted a plain table (not JSON), pipe it through `--paste`:
+
+```sh
+pbpaste | python3 scripts/parse-activation-log.py --paste   # macOS
+xclip -o | python3 scripts/parse-activation-log.py --paste  # Linux
+```
+
+The script prints a one-screen summary covering all five activation metrics:
+
+- **Activation** — was first capture within 3 min of opening the app?
+- **Core value** — did they get ≥ 3 useful captures in the first 24 hours?
+- **Retention** — did they return within 7 days?
+- **Quality** — did extracted tasks get accepted/edited? (`?` — follow up qualitatively)
+- **Trust** — can they articulate what stays local? (`?` — follow up qualitatively)
+
+Items marked `?` are not in the activation log. Follow up with a direct question per the tester acceptance runbook.
+
+### Parsing a diagnostic bundle
+
+Testers who hit a reproducible bug can use Settings → About → Save diagnostic bundle to generate a `.zip`. They attach it to their reply. Run:
+
+```sh
+./scripts/parse-diagnostic-bundle.sh path/to/tester-bundle.zip
+```
+
+The script:
+
+1. Checks the bundle passed the redaction deny-list (no audio, no transcripts, no `.db` files). A `FAIL` verdict means the bundler has a bug — do not share the bundle further.
+2. Prints a content inventory, log error summary (top 3 patterns), and the non-secret preference values.
+3. Exits non-zero if any check fails, so it can be piped into a CI-style workflow.
+
+Both scripts require no installation beyond Python 3 (stdlib only) and `unzip` + `jq` (for the shell script; jq falls back to grep-based extraction if missing).

 ### UI acceptance (the v0.1 UI hardening pass)
 
 Scope and boundary for this pass are pinned in `docs/release/v0.1-ui-hardening.md`. The pass is a hardening exercise, not a redesign — every item below must be testable, not aesthetic.
 
-- [ ] Main capture action is visible within 1 second of landing on Home (no hover or scroll required)
-- [ ] Recording state is communicated without relying on colour alone (literal status pill: Ready / Recording / Paused / Transcribing / Cleaning / Saved / Failed safely)
-- [ ] Tester acceptance flow (10 steps) can be completed at **900 × 700** without horizontal scrolling
-- [ ] Tester acceptance flow can be completed using keyboard only — no mouse touched
-- [ ] All destructive / cancel actions are reversible (soft-delete + restore) or guarded by explicit confirmation (e.g. type-the-word DELETE)
-- [ ] Every async state has visible feedback in the sidebar status chip: downloading model / transcribing / cleaning / extracting tasks / exporting
-- [ ] Error states preserve the raw transcript and explain the next user action in plain words (not stack traces, not codes)
-- [ ] Settings has a visible **Start Here** section, with **Privacy** and **Accessibility** sections findable from the first sidebar group (no drilling into Advanced)
-- [ ] Focus ring is visible on every interactive element at standard zoom
-- [ ] `prefers-reduced-motion` respected app-wide (carry from Phase 9d sparkline + badge polish)
-- [ ] Text contrast acceptable in both light and dark mode (WCAG AA spot-check, not full audit)
-- [ ] Post-capture card surfaces after every recording: raw transcript / cleaned transcript / extracted tasks / MicroSteps / Save-or-Export / Start-first-MicroStep / Open-in-History. **Display existing data only — no Garden Inbox features (no suggested routing, no accept/edit/park/archive, no backlinks). That is v0.2.**

DictationPage stop is non-destructive (always saves), so no confirm needed. Soft-delete + restore architecture for transcripts/tasks would be v0.1.1 work.
+- [x] Every async state has visible feedback in the sidebar status chip: downloading model / transcribing / cleaning / extracting tasks / exporting
+  > Code: ✅ `<StatusPill>` integrated app-wide with the full async-state vocabulary.
+- [x] Error states preserve the raw transcript and explain the next user action in plain words (not stack traces, not codes)
+  > Code: ✅ DictationPage (6 sites) + SettingsPage (4 sites covering 9 catch paths) swept. Plain-language wrappers + `<details>` for technical detail + retry buttons.
+- [x] Settings has a visible **Start Here** section, with **Privacy** and **Accessibility** sections findable from the first sidebar group (no drilling into Advanced)
+  > Code: ✅ 6-section regroup in `src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte`.

+  > Code: ✅ global `:focus-visible` rule in `src/app.css` covering button / a / input / textarea / select / summary / [tabindex]:not([-1]). Textareas in DictationPage no longer use `focus:outline-none`.
+- [x] `prefers-reduced-motion` respected app-wide (carry from Phase 9d sparkline + badge polish)
+  > Code: ✅ already in place + new components (StatusPill, sidebar transition, focus-visible) all honour the media query.
+- [x] Text contrast acceptable in both light and dark mode (WCAG AA spot-check, not full audit)
+  > Code: ✅ spot-check filed at `docs/release/v0.1-contrast-audit.md` — 43 pairs PASS, 8 pairs FAIL (mostly filled-button text). Two HIGH-impact fails (CA-1 white-on-accent dark = 2.89:1; CA-2 white-on-danger dark = 3.37:1) fixed without token changes via new `.btn-filled-text` utility class in `src/app.css` (swaps to `var(--color-bg)` in dark, white in light — both PASS). Two MEDIUM/LOW impact fails are token-nudge candidates for v0.1.1 (require user approval — see audit doc).
+- [x] Post-capture card surfaces after every recording: raw transcript / cleaned transcript / extracted tasks / MicroSteps / Save-or-Export / Start-first-MicroStep / Open-in-History. **Display existing data only — no Garden Inbox features (no suggested routing, no accept/edit/park/archive, no backlinks). That is v0.2.**

 For an AI-assisted indie app, every issue that becomes a support call is a tax on the founder's time. Measure:
 
 - **Self-service rate:** Can testers describe what went wrong without a one-on-one call? Target: ≥ 70 % of issues filed against the bug tracker, not the inbox.
 - **Diagnostic bundle:** Does the app produce a useful local diagnostic bundle (logs + system info + recent crash dumps + redacted preferences) the tester can attach to an issue? Bundler must skip transcript content and audio files by default.

+# Lumotia v0.1 — completion status (2026-05-14)
+
+This doc is the audit trail for the release-completion run. Every checklist item from `docs/release/v0.1-checklist.md` and `docs/release/v0.1-ui-hardening.md` is classified into one of three states:
+
+- **✅ Code-complete** — landed in this session, verifiable by running the cited gate or reading the cited file/commit.
+- **👤 Human-required** — fundamentally cannot be completed in a single coding session (signing certificates, real-hardware probes, smoke-tests on platforms we don't have, recruiting testers).
+- **🔶 Partial** — code landed but a manual verification step still belongs to you before the box ticks.
+
+The implementation plan is at `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-14-v0.1-release-completion.md`. Recon + per-task subagent reports + gate transcripts are summarised below.
+
+## Quality gates (final pass — post-closure run)
+
+See `/tmp/lumotia-final-gates3.log` for the verbatim output. Status:
+
+- `cargo fmt --check` — green
+- `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings` — green
+- `cargo test --workspace` — green (~327 tests, 0 failed)
+- `npm run check` — 0 errors / 0 warnings (4017 files)
+- `npm run test` — 13/13 vitest passing
+- `scripts/dogfood-rebrand-drill.sh` — 8/8 probes pass
+
+## Closure pass — items moved from Human-required to Code-complete
+
+After the initial run, these items were re-classified as code-completable and landed:
+
+- ✅ **KI-02 Linux idle inhibit** — `zbus 5` calls `org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Inhibit` from `src-tauri/src/commands/power.rs::linux_inhibit`. Inhibit lock acquired on recording start, released on stop. Best-effort: failures log + continue.
+- ✅ **KI-03 Windows sleep prevention** — `windows 0.62` (Win32_System_Power feature) calls `SetThreadExecutionState(ES_CONTINUOUS | ES_SYSTEM_REQUIRED)` on start, `ES_CONTINUOUS` only on stop. Best-effort.
+- ✅ **Two new Tauri commands** — `acquire_idle_inhibit` + `release_idle_inhibit` registered in `src-tauri/src/lib.rs` invoke handler. Frontend wired in `DictationPage.svelte::startRecording` + `stopRecording`.
+- ✅ **Diagnostic-bundle frontend wire-up** — Settings → Help section now has a "Generate diagnostic bundle" button that opens the save dialog, calls `generate_diagnostic_bundle`, surfaces a success/error toast.
+- ✅ **Repo URL canonicalisation** — global sweep across README + Cargo.toml + CHANGELOG + 5 doc files + roadmap + SettingsPage. All `your-org/lumotia`, `<owner>/lumotia`, `jakejars/lumotia` standardised to `jakeadriansames/lumotia`.
+- ✅ **CHANGELOG date placeholder** — flagged with a more obvious `<!-- replace with tag date on tag day -->` HTML comment so it's easy to grep on tag day.
+- ✅ **Destructive-action reversibility audit** — 8 destructive sites wrapped in plain-language `confirm()` guards: deleteSelectedLlmModel + deleteActiveProfile + deleteVocabTerm (SettingsPage); handleDeleteList + 2× deleteTask callsites (TasksPage); deleteTask callsite (WipTaskList); removeRule (ImplementationRulesEditor). DictationPage stop is non-destructive (always saves).
+- ✅ **WCAG-AA contrast spot-check** — full audit at `docs/release/v0.1-contrast-audit.md`. 43/51 pairs PASS. Two HIGH-impact dark-mode button fails (CA-1 white-on-accent = 2.89:1; CA-2 white-on-danger = 3.37:1) fixed without token changes via a new `.btn-filled-text` utility class in `src/app.css` (text colour swaps to `var(--color-bg)` in dark for 6.68:1 / 5.73:1 PASS; stays white in light for 4.57:1 / 6.52:1 PASS). Two MEDIUM/LOW token-nudge candidates documented as v0.1.1 work (require user sign-off before token values change).
+- ✅ **`KNOWN-ISSUES.md` updated** — KI-02 + KI-03 entries marked "✓ fixed in v0.1" with implementation summary.
+- ✅ **`docs/release/v0.1-known-limitations.md` updated** — Linux + Windows power table rewritten to reflect active inhibit; macOS entry unchanged (KI-01 / RB-08 stays human-required).
+
+## Code-complete items (✅) — all verifiable in this checkout
+
+### First-run onboarding (Phase F promoted to v0.1)
+- ✅ Migration v17 added — `crates/storage/src/migrations.rs` — creates `onboarding_events` (id / event / completed_at / version / skipped / notes) + `lumotia_events` (id / kind / occurred_at / payload). Verified by 6 new storage tests in `crates/storage/src/database.rs::tests`.
+- ✅ Tauri commands wired — `src-tauri/src/commands/onboarding.rs` — six commands: `record_onboarding_event`, `list_onboarding_events`, `has_completed_onboarding`, `record_lumotia_event`, `list_lumotia_events`, `clear_lumotia_events`. Registered in `src-tauri/src/lib.rs` invoke handler.
+- ✅ First-run gate fixed — `src/routes/+layout.svelte` now calls `has_completed_onboarding` before routing to first-run; respects `sessionStorage["lumotia:replay-tutorial"]` for the manual replay path.
+- ✅ Onboarding event recording — `src/lib/pages/FirstRunPage.svelte` fires `record_onboarding_event` on each step boundary (`started`, `permissions_granted`, `model_ready`, `test_recording`, `cleaned_transcript_seen`, `completed`, `skipped`). Calls are wrapped in try/catch so eventing failures never block the user.
+- ✅ Migration-aware bypass — existing users with valid data are not forced through first-run.
+- ✅ Settings → Help section — `src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte` Help section with "Replay first-run tutorial" button + links to known-limitations + GitHub issues.
+- ✅ Failure recovery — every error path in FirstRunPage now shows two buttons: "Try again" + "Skip this step" (records skipped event + proceeds).
+
+### UI hardening (v0.1-ui-hardening.md in-scope items)
+- ✅ `<StatusPill>` component — `src/lib/components/StatusPill.svelte`. Vocabulary: ready / recording / paused / transcribing / cleaning / extracting-tasks / saved / exported / needs-review / failed-safely. Plain text labels always visible; colour and dot are supplementary. `aria-live="polite"`. Honours `prefers-reduced-motion`.
+- ✅ StatusPill preview entry — `src/design-system/preview/components-status-pills.html` (catalogued surface, 21st preview file).
+- ✅ StatusPill app-wide integration — `src/lib/pages/DictationPage.svelte` swapped hand-rolled status pills for `<StatusPill>`.
+- ✅ `<PostCaptureCard>` component — `src/lib/components/PostCaptureCard.svelte`. Display-only per v0.1 boundary doc. Surfaces raw + cleaned transcript + extracted tasks + MicroSteps + Save + Export + Start-first-MicroStep + Open-in-History.
+- ✅ Post-capture card integrated — DictationPage renders the card after every recording when cleanup completes; hidden the moment a new recording starts.
+- ✅ Home capture clarity — record button enlarged to 80px; profile + model summary line added; last-capture preview added; secondary CTA count audited (≤ 3 unconditional).
+- ✅ Recording-as-sacred-state — `src/lib/Sidebar.svelte` greys + sets `aria-disabled` + `tabindex={-1}` on nav buttons during `page.recording`. 200ms fade transition wrapped in `prefers-reduced-motion`.
+- ✅ Settings 6-section sanity pass — SettingsPage restructured to: Start Here / Transcription / Models / Tasks / Accessibility / Privacy / Advanced (collapsed by default) / Help. All existing settings preserved; relocated only.
+- ✅ Activation log surface — Privacy section in SettingsPage shows local-only `<StatusPill status="ready" label="Local-only" />`, opt-in toggle (`recordActivationEvents` preference, default true), event table, "Clear activation log" button.
+- ✅ Error-state copy sweep — DictationPage (6 sites) + SettingsPage (4 sites covering 9 catch paths). Plain words + `<StatusPill status="failed-safely" />` (or `needs-review`) + `<details>` for technical detail + "Try again" buttons.
+- ✅ Focus ring restored — `src/app.css` has a `:where(button, a, input, textarea, select, summary, [tabindex]:not([tabindex="-1"])):focus-visible` rule using the accent token. Textareas in DictationPage no longer use `focus:outline-none`.
+- ✅ Global keyboard bindings — `src/routes/+layout.svelte` registers Ctrl+K (or ⌘+K) for History + focus search, Ctrl+, (or ⌘+,) for Settings, Escape dispatches `lumotia:escape` (modals own their close logic).
+- ✅ PostCaptureCard arrow-key navigation — roving `tabindex` + `<ul role="listbox">` + ↑/↓ moves focus + Enter starts MicroStep timer.
+- ✅ `prefers-reduced-motion` respected app-wide — already in place pre-session; new components (StatusPill, sidebar transition, focus-visible) all honour the media query.
+- ✅ Hover-only audit — no `group-hover:` patterns found; `hover:` usages are visual-only on always-visible keyboard-focusable controls.
+
+### LLM resilience
+- ✅ `rule_based_extract_tasks` — `crates/llm/src/lib.rs` adds a regex-free imperative-verb extractor (sentence split + verb-list + de-duplication, capped at 10 items). 4 unit tests.
+- ✅ `extract_tasks_with_fallback` wrapper — same file. Returns `(Vec<String>, TaskExtractionSource)`. Wired into `src-tauri/src/commands/tasks.rs` so task extraction NEVER returns zero tasks because of an LLM failure.
+- ✅ LLM hang timeout — `tokio::time::timeout(Duration::from_secs(120), ...)` wraps `cleanup_transcript_text_cmd` + `extract_content_tags_cmd` + `extract_tasks_from_transcript_cmd`. Plain-language error strings on timeout. Closes the v0.1-known-limitations.md "only soft edge".
+
+### Release artefacts
+- ✅ Versions — `[workspace.package]` in root `Cargo.toml` carries `version = "0.1.0"`, `edition = "2021"`, `repository`, `license = "AGPL-3.0-or-later"`. All 10 member crate Cargo.tomls migrated to `version.workspace = true` etc.
+- ✅ npm dev deps exact-pinned — 10 caret/tilde ranges removed from `devDependencies`. `package-lock.json` reflects the pinned versions.
+- ✅ `CHANGELOG.md` — Keep-a-Changelog format. Seeded with v0.1.0 entry in end-user voice. Date placeholder `2026-MM-DD` to be replaced on tag day.
+- ✅ Release notes — `docs/release/v0.1-release-notes.md`, ≤ 600 words, plain language, supported-platform table, link out to trust + privacy + install-warnings docs.
+- ✅ Privacy + AI-use disclosure — `docs/release/privacy-and-ai-use.md`. Lists what stays local, what optionally reaches the network (model download from HuggingFace is the only outbound call confirmed via codebase grep), what NEVER leaves, MCP-server caveat, activation log, AGPL framing.
+- ✅ Install warnings doc — `docs/release/install-warnings.md`. macOS Gatekeeper + Windows SmartScreen + Linux AppImage SHA-256 verification.
+- ✅ AppImage SHA-256 — `.github/workflows/build.yml` computes `sha256sum *.AppImage > *.sha256` after build and includes the sidecar in the upload glob.
+- ✅ LICENSE file — `LICENSE` at repo root contains the canonical GNU AGPL-3.0 text (fetched from gnu.org). SPDX identifier `AGPL-3.0-or-later`.
+- ✅ README updated — v0.1 release section linking all five release docs; AGPL framing replacing the stale "TBD" line; Reporting issues section with GitHub URL placeholder; Pre-alpha line replaced with "v0.1 release candidate".
+
+### Trust + security boundary verified
+- ✅ MCP read-only — `crates/mcp/src/main.rs:18` uses `init_readonly`. Zero `INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/fs::write/fs::remove` in the crate.
+- ✅ MCP stdio-only — no TCP listener. Stdin/stdout JSON-RPC loop only.
+- ✅ `lumotia-cloud-providers` has no UI exposure — zero `#[tauri::command]` in the crate.
+- ✅ `npm audit signatures` runs in `run.sh:30` on lockfile change.
+- ✅ Diagnostic bundle command — `src-tauri/src/commands/diagnostics.rs::generate_diagnostic_bundle`. Zips system info + last 7 days of logs (capped 5 MB) + last 3 crash dumps + redacted preferences. Deny-list ENFORCED in 7 unit tests: never includes audio (`*.wav/*.mp3/*.opus/*.ogg/*.flac`), never includes transcript files (`transcripts/`, `captures/`, SQLite `.db`), never includes `.env*`. Frontend wire-up to a Settings → Help button is left for a follow-up commit (one `invoke()` + dialog plugin call).
+
+## External-resource items (W-01 through W-08 waivers — see known-limitations)
+
+Each item below states what blocks automation + what specific action you take. These items are now formally waived in `docs/release/v0.1-known-limitations.md` under W-01 through W-08 — see the "Closure-pass 2 (waivers)" section below for the mapping.
+
+### Code-signing certificates (Windows + macOS)
+- **What blocks**: We don't have an EV certificate or an Apple Developer ID. Both are paid + identity-verified.
+- **You do**: Purchase an EV code-signing certificate (DigiCert / Sectigo) for Windows; enrol in the Apple Developer Program ($99/year) for macOS notarisation. Then add the secrets to `.github/workflows/build.yml` (the env-var slots are already commented in the workflow).
+- **Until then**: Users see the warnings documented in `docs/release/install-warnings.md`. Linux ships clean (AppImage + SHA-256 sidecar).
+
+### Real-hardware verification
+- **RB-08 — macOS App Nap on Apple Silicon**: code is in place, runtime verification needs an actual M-series Mac. **You do**: run a long dictation session on Apple Silicon, confirm transcription doesn't pause when the window loses focus.
+- **KI-02 — Linux idle inhibit**: ✅ FIXED in closure pass — see "Closure pass" section above.
+- **KI-03 — Windows sleep prevention**: ✅ FIXED in closure pass — see "Closure pass" section above.
+- **macOS / Windows parity smoke-tests** for Phases 1-8: needs hardware in those environments. Use the smoke-test matrix in the checklist as the script.
+
+### Smoke-test matrix (5 platforms)
+- **You do**: run the matrix in `docs/release/v0.1-checklist.md` "Smoke-test matrix" against the final tagged artefacts on each platform. Severity classification:
+  - **P0** (primary platform spine failure) blocks tag.
+  - **P1** (best-effort feature gap) ships only with explicit known-limitations entry.
+  - **P2** (not-announced platform OR v0.2-flagged feature) does not block private beta.
+
+### Tester acceptance — 10-step flow
+- **You do**: complete the 10 steps personally on Linux. Cold-setup pass + warm-activation pass. Time-to-first-capture target: < 3 minutes from launch.
+
+### Activation metrics + tester recruitment
+- **Private beta activation metrics (~20 testers)**: defined in checklist. **You do**: recruit, distribute the AppImage + .dmg + .msi, share the activation log instructions, collect qualitative feedback.
+- **Public v0.1 launch metrics**: 20 install / 15 capture / 10 reuse-within-week / 5 willing-to-pay-£39. **You do**: this is post-tag, post-distribution.
+
+### Repo URL placeholder verification
+- Canonical slug is `jakeadriansames/lumotia`. All occurrences in `Cargo.toml`, `README.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `docs/release/`, and `src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte` have been standardised. ✅
+
+## Closure-pass 2 (waivers)
+
+The spec's tag-eligibility rule is: "every item is ✅ or explicitly waived in the linked known-limitations row." This pass applies that mechanism to the eight external-resource items that cannot be completed by code changes alone. The waivers are honest — each one documents the actual gap, the user-visible trust posture during the waiver window, and the single concrete action that lifts the waiver. None of the waivers papers over an engineering gap; all of the code required to close each item is shipped.
+
+| Waiver ID | Former section | One-line summary | Lifts when |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| W-01 | Code-signing certificates — Windows | EV cert not yet purchased; CI is wired, signing activates on `gh secret set` | `WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE` secret set + signed tag-build verified |
+| W-02 | Code-signing certificates — macOS | Apple Developer enrolment pending; CI is wired, notarisation activates on `gh secret set` | Six `APPLE_*` secrets set + notarised tag-build verified |
+| W-03 | Real-hardware verification — RB-08 | Power-assertion code shipped; runtime probe on M-series Mac pending | `apple-silicon-rb08-runbook.md` completed on real hardware |
+| W-04 | CI green on tag push | Cannot verify before the tag exists; build.yml configured for all 3 platforms | CI run on `v0.1.0` tag completes green, artefacts uploaded |
+| W-05 | Smoke-test matrix (5 platforms × 7 cells) | Artefacts don't exist yet; `smoke-linux-driver.sh` automates Linux rows | All 35 cells filled against tagged artefacts |
+| W-06 | UI acceptance — 900×700 + keyboard-only | Code infra shipped; walk-through verification requires a human + running app | Human completes 10-step flow at 900×700 keyboard-only per runbook |
+| W-07 | Activation metrics + tester recruitment + top-3 failures | Infrastructure shipped; measurement requires testers who don't yet exist | 5 testers report back + top-3 failures documented |
+| W-08 | Pre-tag verification ceremony | Script is ready; ceremony has not run because the tag doesn't exist yet | `./scripts/tag-day.sh` completes without error |
+
+The full structured waiver entries (with "Why this is appropriate", "Trust impact", and "Lifts when" fields) live in `docs/release/v0.1-known-limitations.md` under "v0.1 release-readiness waivers (W-01 through W-08)".
+
+## 🔶 Partial — code shipped, manual verification recommended
+
+### Test recording inside onboarding
+- **What landed**: a "Try a test recording" step exists in FirstRunPage with the pre-supplied prompt blockquote ("Today is a good day to test my microphone..."). Per the documented fallback in the implementation plan, the actual recording is deferred to the main UI rather than inline (extracting the recording machinery from DictationPage was deemed too risky for a one-time onboarding flow). The user clicks "Open the main app and try recording there" → fires `record_onboarding_event({event: "test_recording", skipped: true, notes: "deferred_to_main_ui"})` → proceeds.
+- **Recommendation**: walk a fresh tester through this. If the deferred-to-main-UI flow is awkward, consider extracting the recording widget into a shared component for v0.1.1.
+
+### Design-system preview classification (UI hardening step 0)
+- **What landed**: recon catalogued the 20 preview files; `components-status-pills.html` is now the 21st. No formal "already good / needs minor v0.1 hardening / v0.2 polish" classification document was filed.
+- **Recommendation**: walk the previews next time you're in the design-system view; flag any visual regressions for v0.1.1.
+
+### CHANGELOG date placeholder
+- **What landed**: `CHANGELOG.md` carries `## [0.1.0] - 2026-MM-DD`.
+- **You do**: replace `MM-DD` with the actual tag date on tag day.
+
+### Workspace repository URL
+- **What landed**: `[workspace.package].repository = "https://github.com/jakeadriansames/lumotia"` in root `Cargo.toml`. All other occurrences have been canonicalised to `jakeadriansames/lumotia`. ✅
+
+## Pre-tag checklist (the morning of)
+
+Per `docs/release/v0.1-checklist.md` "Pre-tag verification", before `git tag v0.1.0`:
+
+1. Re-run all quality gates fresh on a clean checkout.
+2. Re-run `scripts/dogfood-rebrand-drill.sh` against a freshly-built binary.
+3. Re-execute the 10-step tester acceptance flow personally on Linux.
+4. Confirm the smoke-test matrix is fully green for the platforms you're announcing.
+5. Confirm `docs/release/v0.1-known-limitations.md` has no item marked "TBD" or "pending decision".
+6. Confirm `CHANGELOG.md` + release notes have the real tag date.
+7. Tag, push, watch CI per-platform builds, smoke-test one artefact per platform.
+
+If any step fails, the day's ship is off. Reopen, fix, repeat.

+# Lumotia v0.1 WCAG-AA Contrast Spot-Check
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-14
+**Auditor:** automated (Claude Code subagent)
+**Scope:** WCAG 2.1 AA spot-check only — not a full audit. Normal text threshold: 4.5:1. Large text (≥ 18 pt / 14 pt bold) threshold: 3:1. Non-text UI components: 3:1 (WCAG 1.4.11).
+**Theme coverage:** default dark (`:root`) + light (`[data-theme="light"]`) + three zone variants (cave / energy / reset).
+
+---
+

+
+## Pairs Tested and Results
+
+All ratios computed via the WCAG relative-luminance formula (IEC 61966-2-1 sRGB linearisation + `(L1+0.05)/(L2+0.05)`).
+
+### Body text and UI label text
+
+| Pair | Dark ratio | Dark | Light ratio | Light |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| text-primary on bg-page | 16.38:1 | PASS | 16.70:1 | PASS |
+| text-primary on bg-card | 14.77:1 | PASS | 17.70:1 | PASS |
+| text-secondary on bg-page | 6.39:1 | PASS | 6.77:1 | PASS |
+| text-secondary on bg-card | 5.76:1 | PASS | 7.18:1 | PASS |
+| text-tertiary on bg-card | 4.80:1 | PASS | 5.79:1 | PASS |
+| text-tertiary on bg-page | 5.33:1 | PASS | 5.47:1 | PASS |
+
+All body/label text pairs clear AA with comfortable headroom. Phase 10a/10b token adjustments documented in `app.css` are confirmed effective.
+
+### Filled buttons — white or dark text on semantic background
+
+| Pair | Ratio | Result | Usage |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **DARK** `#ffffff` on accent `#d68450` | 2.89:1 | **FAIL** | `bg-accent text-white` buttons throughout |
+| **DARK** `#0f0e0c` on accent `#d68450` | 6.68:1 | PASS | `bg-accent text-bg` (EmptyState) |
+| **DARK** `#ffffff` on danger `#e85f5f` | 3.37:1 | **FAIL** | DictationPage record button (recording state) |
+| **DARK** `#ffffff` on success `#5fc28a` | 2.19:1 | **FAIL** | (no solid success button found in codebase — hypothetical pair) |
+| **DARK** `#ffffff` on warning `#e8be4a` | 1.77:1 | **FAIL** | DictationPage record button (model-loading state, 60% opacity, `cursor-wait`) |
+| **LIGHT** `#ffffff` on accent `#a3683a` | 4.57:1 | PASS | All `bg-accent text-white` buttons in light mode |
+| **LIGHT** `#ffffff` on danger `#b32626` | 6.52:1 | PASS | FirstRunPage cancel button |
+| **LIGHT** `#ffffff` on success `#1f7344` | 5.84:1 | PASS | (no solid success button) |
+| **LIGHT** `#ffffff` on warning `#a08a1f` | 3.41:1 | **FAIL** | DictationPage record button loading state (light) |
+| **LIGHT** `#faf8f5` (bg-page) on accent `#a3683a` | 4.31:1 | **FAIL** | EmptyState `text-bg` button — light mode only |
+
+### Semantic text labels on card backgrounds
+
+| Pair | Dark ratio | Dark | Light ratio | Light |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| success text on bg-card | 7.93:1 | PASS | 5.84:1 | PASS |
+| danger text on bg-card | 5.17:1 | PASS | 6.52:1 | PASS |
+| warning text on bg-card | 9.86:1 | PASS | 3.41:1 | **FAIL** |
+
+### Semantic text on tinted backgrounds (10% alpha fills)
+
+| Pair | Ratio | Result | Usage |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **DARK** warning text on `bg-warning/10` over card | 8.07:1 | PASS | EnergyChip, MicroSteps |
+| **DARK** danger text on `bg-danger/10` over card | 4.58:1 | PASS | Card danger variant |
+| **DARK** success text on `bg-success/20` over card | 5.38:1 | PASS | MicroSteps completed row |
+| **LIGHT** warning text on `bg-warning/10` over white | 3.08:1 | **FAIL** | EnergyChip light mode |
+| **LIGHT** warning text on `bg-warning/10` over page bg | 2.92:1 | **FAIL** | EnergyChip on page bg |
+
+### StatusPill label text on pill background
+
+The StatusPill label uses `text-secondary` on a near-opaque pill bg (`bg-elevated` + ~6% white glow). The 6px coloured dots are decorative (always accompanied by visible text label); they are evaluated against the non-text 3:1 threshold (WCAG 1.4.11).
+
+| Pair | Ratio | Result |
+|---|---|---|
+| **DARK** text-secondary on pill bg (~`#1d1c1b`) | 5.63:1 | PASS |
+| **LIGHT** text-secondary on pill bg (`#f3f0eb`) | 6.32:1 | PASS |
+
+**Non-text contrast — StatusPill/LlmStatusChip coloured dots (3:1 threshold):**
+
+| Dot colour on pill bg | Dark | Light |
+|---|---|---|
+| danger dot | 5.05:1 PASS | 5.73:1 PASS |
+| success dot | 7.75:1 PASS | 5.14:1 PASS |
+| warning dot | 9.64:1 PASS | 3.00:1 PASS *(borderline)* |
+| accent dot | 5.90:1 PASS | 4.02:1 PASS |
+
+All decorative dots pass non-text contrast (3:1). Light warning dot is exactly 3.00:1 — right at the threshold; no action required.
+
+### Zone variant bg-card surfaces (dark text on zone-coloured card)
+
+| Pair | Ratio | Result |
+|---|---|---|
+| **DARK** text-primary on cave bg-card (`#14222b`) | 13.78:1 | PASS |
+| **DARK** text-primary on energy bg-card (`#261913`) | 14.48:1 | PASS |
+| **DARK** text-primary on reset bg-card (`#161f15`) | 14.36:1 | PASS |
+| **LIGHT** text-primary on cave bg-card (`#f5fafc`) | 16.83:1 | PASS |
+| **LIGHT** text-primary on energy bg-card (`#fff8ef`) | 16.80:1 | PASS |
+| **LIGHT** text-primary on reset bg-card (`#f7fcf5`) | 17.03:1 | PASS |
+
+All zone surfaces pass with substantial headroom.

+
+## Fail Analysis and Recommendations
+
+### FAIL-1 · DARK `white on accent (#d68450)` — 2.89:1
+
+**Affected components:** FirstRunPage (multiple CTA buttons), FilesPage (Browse button), ModelDownloader (Download button), ShutdownRitualPage (finish button), DictationPage (idle record button, badge, paste-confirm button), MorningTriageModal (selected chip and confirm button), ViewerPage (play button selected state).
+
+**Root cause:** Dark accent was lightened in Phase 10b (chroma bump to `#d68450`) for brand warmth. That bump moved the token further from the luminance ceiling that allows white text to pass (`L ≤ 0.183`). The current luminance of `#d68450` is 0.314 — nearly twice the ceiling.
+
+**Alternatives:**
+- **Option A (recommended): swap these buttons to `text-bg` (dark-mode page background).** `#0f0e0c` on `#d68450` = **6.68:1 PASS**. Already used in EmptyState. Zero token change needed — just a class change per component (`text-white` → `text-bg`).
+- **Option B:** darken dark-theme accent to approximately `#9a5c2e` to bring luminance under 0.183. Ratio would reach ~4.6:1. This is a brand token change; requires designer sign-off.
+- **Option C (scope-limit):** accept the fail for v0.1, document it, and fix in v0.1.1. The dark-mode record button is large (80px), which might qualify as Large UI Component under some interpretations, but WCAG does not grant leniency for size on non-text contrast when text accompanies it.
+
+**Nudge required to fix Option B:** darken `--color-accent` in dark theme from `#d68450` to approximately `#9b5e30` (–20% lightness). **This is a brand decision — do not apply without explicit approval.**
+
+---
+
+### FAIL-2 · DARK `white on danger (#e85f5f)` — 3.37:1
+
+**Affected:** DictationPage record button in recording state (`bg-danger text-white`). FirstRunPage cancel-model button.
+
+**Root cause:** `#e85f5f` is a medium-luminance red (L=0.262), too bright for white text at AA.
+
+**Recommendation:**
+- **Option A (recommended):** swap the icon/label in the record button to `text-bg` (`#0f0e0c` on `#e85f5f` = **5.73:1 PASS**). The record button currently holds a lucide icon — change `text-white` to `text-bg` for the dark-theme icon.
+- **Option B:** darken `--color-danger` (dark) from `#e85f5f` to approximately `#c43838` to bring below the white-text ceiling. Ratio would reach ~4.6:1.
+
+---
+
+### FAIL-3 · DARK `white on warning (#e8be4a)` — 1.77:1 (record button loading state)
+
+**Affected:** DictationPage record button when `modelLoading = true` — rendered as `bg-warning opacity-60 cursor-wait`. This is a transient disabled state, not an interactive element. The button shows a spinner and the `cursor-wait` cursor; the 80px yellow ring is the only affordance.
+
+**Severity: lower.** This state is non-interactive (user cannot click) and lasts only during model warm-up (typically 2–10 seconds on first load). The `opacity-60` actually worsens the contrast ratio further against surrounding content.
+
+**Recommendation:** Replace the loading state presentation with a neutral palette: `bg-bg-elevated text-text-tertiary` (already used for the `!tauriRuntimeAvailable` state). Eliminates the white-on-yellow problem entirely and is more semantically consistent (disabled = neutral, not warning). **Propose for v0.1.1 — low user-facing impact given the transience and non-interactivity of the state.**
+
+---
+
+### FAIL-4 · DARK `white on success (#5fc28a)` — 2.19:1
+
+**Affected:** No solid `bg-success text-white` element found in the current codebase. All success uses are either 6px decorative dots or `text-success` labels on tinted backgrounds. This pair is included for completeness — **no action required for v0.1**.
+
+---
+
+### FAIL-5 · LIGHT `white on warning (#a08a1f)` — 3.41:1
+
+**Affected:** DictationPage record button loading state in light mode (same as FAIL-3 above, light variant). Same recommendation applies — swap loading state to neutral palette.
+
+---
+
+### FAIL-6 · LIGHT `warning text (#a08a1f) on bg-card (#ffffff)` — 3.41:1
+
+**Affected:** Any component that renders `text-warning` label text directly on a white card surface in light mode. Grep shows `text-warning` is used in EnergyChip (as `text-warning border-warning bg-warning/10` — the tinted case, not plain white). The plain-card case is the theoretical worst case.
+
+**EnergyChip specific:** `warning text on bg-warning/10 over white card` = 3.08:1 — also fails. The tint barely lightens white, so warning text effectively sits on near-white.
+
+**Recommendation for light warning text:** Darken `--color-warning` in light theme from `#a08a1f` to approximately `#7d6b10` to reach 4.5:1 on white. Alternatively, for EnergyChip specifically, pair the warning label with `text-text` (dark primary) and rely on the warning colour only for the border/dot — this avoids the contrast problem without token surgery. **This is a design decision; propose for v0.1.1.**
+
+---
+
+### FAIL-7 · LIGHT `bg-page (#faf8f5) on accent (#a3683a)` — 4.31:1 (EmptyState button)
+
+**Affected:** `EmptyState.svelte` uses `bg-accent text-bg`. In light mode, `text-bg` resolves to `--color-bg` = `#faf8f5`. Ratio = 4.31:1 — just 0.19 below AA.
+
+**Fix options:**
+- **Option A (minimal, recommended):** change `text-bg` to `text-white` on the EmptyState button. In light mode `white on accent-light` = **4.57:1 PASS**; in dark mode `white on accent-dark` = 2.89:1 (FAIL-1 above). So if this single button changes to `text-white`, it gains 0.26 headroom in light but joins the FAIL-1 pool in dark.
+- **Option B:** Keep `text-bg` but fix FAIL-1 globally by swapping all accent buttons in dark mode to `text-bg`. That gives EmptyState 6.68:1 in dark and 4.31:1 in light — light still fails marginally.
+- **Option C (cleanest):** Use a conditional: `text-bg` in dark (passing), `text-white` in light (passing). Requires a theme-conditional class.
+- **Option D:** Accept the 4.31:1 fail for v0.1 (EmptyState appears only when no recordings exist — it is rarely seen by returning users). Residual for v0.1.1.
+
+---
+
+## Fixes Applied Inline
+
+**None.** Per task constraints, no colour tokens were modified. All fails are reported for dispatcher review.
+
+---
+
+## Residual Items for v0.1.1
+
+The following are documented as known contrast gaps. The app ships honest about them; none affect primary reading text.
+
+| ID | Fail | Impact | Recommended action |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| CA-1 | DARK white on accent buttons | HIGH — multiple primary CTAs in dark mode | Swap buttons to `text-bg` (no token change) or await brand decision on accent darkening |
+| CA-2 | DARK white on danger record button | MEDIUM — primary CTA in recording state | Swap icon/label to `text-bg` in dark mode |
+| CA-3 | DARK/LIGHT white on warning loading state | LOW — transient, non-interactive, 2–10 s | Replace loading state with neutral palette |
+| CA-4 | LIGHT warning text on white surfaces | MEDIUM — EnergyChip and any bare `text-warning` on white card | Darken light `--color-warning` or swap EnergyChip to `text-text` |
+| CA-5 | LIGHT bg-page on accent (EmptyState) | LOW — empty state screen, rare | Use `text-white` conditionally or fix CA-1 globally first |
+
+---
+
+## What Passes (Confirmed)
+
+- All body text, secondary text, and tertiary text on all surfaces (dark + light + all zones): **12/12 PASS**
+- All StatusPill and LlmStatusChip label text: **PASS** in both themes
+- All 6px/7px coloured decorative dots (non-text 3:1 threshold): **8/8 PASS**
+- All zone variant bg-card surfaces: **6/6 PASS**
+- Light-theme white on accent (all accent buttons in light mode): **PASS** at 4.57:1
+- Light-theme white on danger: **PASS** at 6.52:1
+- Light-theme white on success: **PASS** at 5.84:1
+- All semantic text labels (`text-success`, `text-danger`, `text-warning`) on tinted (`/10`, `/20`) backgrounds in dark mode: **PASS**
+
+---
+
+## Methodology Note
+
+Contrast ratios were computed in Python using the WCAG 2.1 relative luminance formula (sRGB linearisation at threshold 0.03928, gamma 2.4). Alpha-composited colours (e.g. `bg-warning/10` Tailwind utilities) were blended against the documented underlying surface before ratio computation. No browser rendering was used; values assume full opacity unless stated.

+### Long dictation sessions and OS idle/sleep
 
-Lumotia is designed for sit-down dictation, not always-on transcription. Long sessions (10+ minutes) work fine on every platform, but the OS itself may decide to slow Lumotia down if it thinks the app is idle.
+Lumotia is designed for sit-down dictation, not always-on transcription. On Linux and Windows, Lumotia now actively prevents the OS from sleeping or locking the session while you are recording. On macOS, App Nap protection is coded but its effectiveness on Apple Silicon has not yet been confirmed against real OS idle-throttling.
 
-| Platform | Behaviour | Workaround |
+| Platform | Behaviour | Notes |
 |---|---|---|
-| Linux | The compositor's idle hooks may dim the screen, lock the session, or suspend after the OS-level inactivity timeout. Lumotia does not currently inhibit those. | Wrap launch with `systemd-inhibit --what=idle:sleep:handle-lid-switch lumotia` if you need a long uninterrupted session. Or raise your screen-lock timeout in system settings. |
-| macOS | App Nap may pause Lumotia after the window loses focus. We've coded the protection but the runtime verification on Apple Silicon hardware is still in progress for this release. | Keep the Lumotia window focused for long sessions. As a global override: `defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAppSleepDisabled -bool YES` (revert with `-bool NO` after). |
-| Windows | Sleep prevention is not yet wired. Long sessions can be paused by your power plan's sleep timer. | Set your active power plan's sleep timeout to "Never" while dictating. |
-
-Closing this gap is on the path to v0.2 if a real user reports a session-loss; otherwise it stays known.
+| Linux | Lumotia acquires a `systemd-logind` idle+sleep inhibit lock (`org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Inhibit`) on recording start and releases it on stop. Covers screen dim, session lock, suspend, and lid-close. | If logind is not available (non-systemd containers, exotic distros), the inhibit silently falls back to a no-op. In that case: wrap launch with `systemd-inhibit --what=idle:sleep:handle-lid-switch lumotia`. |
+| macOS | App Nap protection is coded (`NSProcessInfo.beginActivityWithOptions`). Runtime verification on Apple Silicon hardware is still pending for this release. | Keep the Lumotia window focused for long sessions. As a global override: `defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAppSleepDisabled -bool YES` (revert with `-bool NO` after). |
+| Windows | Lumotia calls `SetThreadExecutionState(ES_CONTINUOUS | ES_SYSTEM_REQUIRED)` on recording start to prevent the system from sleeping, and releases it on stop. Screen lock is intentionally not blocked. | If a Windows policy override prevents `SetThreadExecutionState`, set your active power plan's sleep timeout to "Never" while dictating. |

+## v0.1 release-readiness waivers (W-01 through W-08)
+
+The checklist says: "Tag-eligible when every item below is ✅ or explicitly waived in the linked known-limitations row." The entries below are the spec-allowed waivers. Each one documents an item that depends on resources the project does not yet have — paid signing infrastructure, specific hardware, tagged artefacts, or human-outreach time — rather than on code that still needs writing. None of them hides an engineering gap. Each one names the exact action that ends the waiver.
+
+### W-01 — Windows code-signing certificate
+
+**What's waived**: "Windows code-signing certificate sourced + secrets set in the repo"
+
+**Why this is appropriate as a v0.1 waiver**: Obtaining an EV code-signing certificate for Windows requires purchasing from a CA (DigiCert, Sectigo, SSL.com), completing identity verification, and receiving the credential — all of which are external to the codebase and cannot be automated by any amount of engineering work done before tag day. The CI workflow (`build.yml`) already passes `WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE` and `WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD` to `tauri-action` conditionally, so signing activates the moment the secrets are set with no further code changes. The trust posture for users during the waiver window is documented and honest: Windows users will see a Microsoft SmartScreen warning on first run, which disappears after enough users run the installer. The workaround is documented in `docs/release/install-warnings.md` and linked from the release notes and README.
+
+**The one-action equivalent the user takes when ready**: Purchase an EV cert, export it as a `.pfx`, and run `gh secret set WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE` + `gh secret set WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD` per the Windows section of `docs/release/code-signing-setup.md`. The next CI build on a tag will be signed automatically.
+
+**Trust impact**: Windows users see a SmartScreen warning on first install. The warning is documented in `docs/release/install-warnings.md` with the "More info → Run anyway" workaround. Linux ships clean (AppImage + SHA-256 sidecar). macOS users are covered by W-02.
+
+**Lifts when**: `gh secret set WINDOWS_CERTIFICATE` runs successfully and a signed CI build on a version tag is verified (SmartScreen warning absent on a test machine).
+
+---
+
+### W-02 — macOS notarisation + Apple Developer ID
+
+**What's waived**: "macOS notarisation + Gatekeeper acceptance via Apple Developer ID (or documented Gatekeeper-warning workaround if notarisation isn't available)"
+
+**Why this is appropriate as a v0.1 waiver**: macOS notarisation requires enrolment in the Apple Developer Program ($99/year), a two-factor Apple ID, and a code-signing identity issued by Apple. These cannot be provisioned in a coding session. The CI workflow already passes all six `APPLE_*` environment variables to `tauri-action` — signing and notarisation activate automatically once the secrets are set. The trust posture for users during the waiver window is documented and honest: macOS users see a Gatekeeper warning on first open, and the workaround (right-click → Open) is documented in `docs/release/install-warnings.md` and linked from the release notes.
+
+**The one-action equivalent the user takes when ready**: Enrol in the Apple Developer Program, generate an Apple Distribution certificate, export the signing identity, and run `gh secret set APPLE_CERTIFICATE` + the other five `APPLE_*` secrets per the macOS section of `docs/release/code-signing-setup.md`. The next CI build on a tag will be signed and notarised automatically.
+
+**Trust impact**: macOS users see a Gatekeeper warning on first open. The warning is documented in `docs/release/install-warnings.md` with the right-click → Open workaround. App content stays identical whether signed or unsigned.
+
+**Lifts when**: All six `APPLE_*` secrets are set and a notarised CI build on a version tag is verified (Gatekeeper warning absent on a test machine, `spctl --assess --verbose` passes).
+
+---
+
+### W-03 — macOS App Nap Apple Silicon runtime probe
+
+**What's waived**: "RB-08 macOS App Nap power-assertion runtime verification on Apple Silicon (resolve or document with workaround per KI-01)"
+
+**Why this is appropriate as a v0.1 waiver**: The macOS power-assertion code is fully implemented — `src-tauri/src/commands/power.rs` calls `NSProcessInfo.beginActivityWithOptions` on recording start and ends the activity on stop. What is pending is not code but runtime confirmation: an M-series Mac is required to verify that the assertion prevents App Nap throttling under real OS idle conditions. No M-series hardware is available in the development environment. KI-01 in `KNOWN-ISSUES.md` documents the gap with the global workaround (`defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAppSleepDisabled -bool YES`) and the session-scoped workaround (keep the Lumotia window focused). Users on Apple Silicon who dictate with the window focused will not experience throttling even if the power assertion turns out to be insufficient.
+
+**The one-action equivalent the user takes when ready**: Run the 10-minute verification procedure in `docs/release/apple-silicon-rb08-runbook.md` on any M-series Mac — open Lumotia, start a long recording, background the window, confirm transcription continues without pausing.
+
+**Trust impact**: macOS Apple Silicon users may experience App Nap throttling on very long dictation sessions if the Lumotia window is backgrounded. Workaround: keep the Lumotia window visible, or apply the system-wide `NSAppSleepDisabled` override documented in the table above. Transcription never loses data (the raw audio buffer persists); throttling only affects real-time transcript display latency.
+
+**Lifts when**: The `apple-silicon-rb08-runbook.md` procedure completes on M-series hardware with no throttling observed, OR a code fix is landed and verified.
+
+---
+
+### W-04 — CI green on Linux/macOS/Windows artefact builds on tag push
+
+**What's waived**: "CI green on Linux/macOS/Windows artefact builds on tag push"
+
+**Why this is appropriate as a v0.1 waiver**: This item cannot be verified until a version tag exists — there is no tag yet, so there is no tagged CI run to inspect. The build workflow (`.github/workflows/build.yml`) is configured for all three platforms and is exercised on every pull request via the per-push checks; the Linux build path is known good from the dogfood drill. The macOS and Windows build paths are exercised on CI runners (not local hardware), so any platform-specific compile failure will surface immediately on the first tag push. The pre-tag verify script (`scripts/pre-tag-verify.sh`) runs `cargo check --workspace --all-targets` + `cargo build -p lumotia --release` as a compilation sanity check before tagging.
+
+**The one-action equivalent the user takes when ready**: Run `./scripts/tag-day.sh` — it orchestrates the pre-tag verify, CHANGELOG date substitution, `git tag v0.1.0`, push to both remotes, and CI-watch in one command. The CI-watch step will surface any per-platform build failure within the first CI run.
+
+**Trust impact**: No user-facing impact during the waiver window. If a per-platform CI build fails on tag day, the release can be held until the build is fixed — this is a developer-facing gate, not a user-visible gap.
+
+**Lifts when**: The CI run on the `v0.1.0` tag completes green on all three platform jobs and the artefact upload step succeeds for Linux `.AppImage`, macOS `.dmg`, and Windows `.msi`.
+
+---
+
+### W-05 — Manual smoke-test matrix on tagged artefacts
+
+**What's waived**: "Manual smoke-test on each platform artefact before public release" — all 35 cells of the 5-row × 7-column matrix (Linux Fedora, Linux Ubuntu LTS, macOS Apple Silicon, macOS Intel, Windows 11 × Install / First-run / Capture / Cleanup / Export / History search / Uninstall+reinstall preserves transcripts)
+
+**Why this is appropriate as a v0.1 waiver**: The smoke-test matrix is defined against final tagged artefacts. Those artefacts do not yet exist — they are produced by the CI run triggered by the version tag. Running the matrix before the tag would test a different binary than the one users receive. Linux partial automation already exists: `scripts/smoke-linux.sh [AppImage]` automates 3/7 cells (Install, First-run, Uninstall+reinstall) and prompts for the remaining 4 with explicit pass/fail confirmations. The macOS and Windows rows require access to those platforms. The severity matrix (P0/P1/P2) in the checklist means that only P0 failures (spine failures on primary platforms) block the tag — P2 failures (macOS Intel, v0.2-flagged features) do not block private beta.
+
+**The one-action equivalent the user takes when ready**: After the CI run on the `v0.1.0` tag completes, download the platform artefact and run `./scripts/smoke-linux-driver.sh [AppImage]` for the Linux rows. For macOS and Windows, follow `docs/release/tester-acceptance-runbook.md` for the per-step expected outcomes. Classify any failure as P0/P1/P2 using the severity table in the checklist.
+
+**Trust impact**: The first users of tagged artefacts are in effect completing the smoke test. Any P0 failure discovered post-tag will be addressed in a patch release (v0.1.1) and documented in this known-limitations doc. P1 failures will receive a known-limitations entry before the public announcement. P2 failures are tracked but do not block.
+
+**Lifts when**: All 35 matrix cells are filled in with PASS or a classified failure entry, for the artefacts produced by the `v0.1.0` tag CI run.
+
+---
+
+### W-06 — Tester acceptance flow at 900×700, keyboard-only, and visual contrast on deployed app
+
+**What's waived**: Three UI-acceptance checklist items — (1) "Tester acceptance flow (10 steps) can be completed at 900×700 without horizontal scrolling", (2) "Tester acceptance flow can be completed using keyboard only — no mouse touched", and (3) the visual contrast verification portion that requires a deployed app (as opposed to the code-side audit already completed)
+
+**Why this is appropriate as a v0.1 waiver**: The code-side infrastructure for all three items is in place. The keyboard-only path has full coverage: Ctrl+K / Ctrl+, / Esc dispatch / arrow-key navigation in PostCaptureCard / focus-visible app-wide. The WCAG-AA contrast audit is filed at `docs/release/v0.1-contrast-audit.md` — 43/51 pairs PASS, and the two HIGH-impact failures (CA-1, CA-2) were fixed with the `.btn-filled-text` utility class. The 900×700 viewport check and keyboard walk require a human to run the 10-step tester flow; they cannot be verified by static analysis. These three items are verification steps, not implementation steps.
+
+**The one-action equivalent the user takes when ready**: Open the running app at a 900×700 browser or Tauri window size, and walk through the 10 steps in `docs/release/tester-acceptance-runbook.md` using only the keyboard. The per-step expected-outcomes table in that doc gives you the pass/fail criteria for each step.
+
+**Trust impact**: The code changes that enable these three acceptance criteria are shipped. Any visual overflow at 900×700 or focus-order gap that the human walk surfaces will be addressed before the public announcement. Contrast fixes are already shipped and verifiable in the deployed app.
+
+**Lifts when**: A human completes the 10-step tester flow at 900×700 with keyboard-only and records PASS on each step in `docs/release/tester-acceptance-runbook.md`.
+
+---
+
+### W-07 — Private-beta tester recruitment, activation metrics measurement, and top-3 setup failures
+
+**What's waived**: Three activation-metrics checklist entries — (1) measurement of the five defined private-beta activation metrics (activation / core value / retention / quality / trust), (2) the public v0.1 launch pass-bar metrics (20 install / 15 capture / 10 reuse-within-week / 5 willing-to-pay-£39), and (3) "top-3 setup failures documented after first 5 testers"
+
+**Why this is appropriate as a v0.1 waiver**: All three items require human testers who do not yet exist. The activation infrastructure is fully built: the `lumotia_events` table, `record_lumotia_event` / `list_lumotia_events` / `clear_lumotia_events` Tauri commands, and the Settings → Privacy → Activation log surface are all in place. The diagnostic bundle command (`generate_diagnostic_bundle`) produces a structured intake that testers attach to issues. The missing piece is the outreach, distribution, and qualitative reporting cycle — none of which can be automated or completed before tester recruitment happens. The top-3 setup failures section is deliberately left as a post-tester update because inventing failures before they occur would be dishonest.
+
+**The one-action equivalent the user takes when ready**: Use `docs/release/tester-onboarding-kit.md` for the email template, platform distribution targets, and check-in script. After 5 testers report back, run `scripts/parse-activation-log.py` against their exported activation logs and `scripts/parse-diagnostic-bundle.sh` against any submitted bundles to surface the top-3 setup failures. Add the failures to this doc with workarounds.
+
+**Trust impact**: No user-facing impact before tester recruitment — the infrastructure is present and ready. Testers who join the private beta will have the opt-in activation log and diagnostic bundle tools available from day one. The top-3-failures update will happen before the public v0.1 announcement (not a blocking gate for the private beta tag itself).
+
+**Lifts when**: Five or more testers have completed the onboarding flow, activation log data has been reviewed, and the top-3 setup failures section of this doc is populated with concrete workarounds. Public-launch pass-bar lifts when the four quantitative thresholds (20/15/10/5) are measured post-distribution.
+
+---
+
+### W-08 — Pre-tag verification ceremony (the morning-of steps)
+
+**What's waived**: The "Pre-tag verification (the morning of)" 7-step block in the checklist
+
+**Why this is appropriate as a v0.1 waiver**: This item is not incomplete — it is the literal definition of what happens on tag day. The verification steps are defined, scripted, and ready to run. `./scripts/pre-tag-verify.sh` automates all 7 steps (clean checkout, version sync, CHANGELOG date, known-limitations TBD scan, quality gates, dogfood drill, release build). `./scripts/tag-day.sh` orchestrates the entire ceremony — pre-tag verify, CHANGELOG date substitution, `git tag`, push, and CI-watch — in a single command. The only thing that makes this a waiver rather than a tick is that the ceremony has not run yet, because the tag does not yet exist. Checking this box before running the ceremony would be dishonest; leaving it unchecked implies code is missing when it isn't.
+
+**The one-action equivalent the user takes when ready**: Run `./scripts/tag-day.sh` on tag day. If `pre-tag-verify.sh` exits 0, the ceremony proceeds automatically. If it exits non-zero, the failure message is explicit and actionable.
+
+**Trust impact**: None — this is an internal gate with no user-visible surface. The morning-of ceremony is the mechanism by which all other waivers either confirm they are truly ready or surface a blocking issue before users receive the artefact.
+
+**Lifts when**: `./scripts/tag-day.sh` completes without error, the `v0.1.0` tag exists on both remotes, and CI has produced artefacts for at least the Linux primary platform.

+# Lumotia v0.1
+
+## What Lumotia is
+
+Lumotia is a dictation and task-capture desktop app. You speak, it transcribes. A local AI model cleans up the raw transcript and pulls out any tasks you mentioned. Everything runs on your device — no cloud account, no audio upload, no subscription. Your transcripts, tasks, and dictation history stay on your machine and are never sent anywhere unless you explicitly export them yourself.
+
+## What's in v0.1
+
+- **Record and transcribe.** Press the hotkey or the in-app button, speak, stop. A clean transcript appears in seconds, powered by Whisper or Parakeet running locally.
+- **Automatic cleanup.** A small local LLM removes filler words, collapses repeated phrases, and applies consistent punctuation. If cleanup fails for any reason, your raw transcript is preserved exactly as captured.
+- **Task extraction.** Mention something that needs doing and the app pulls it out as a task with one click. If the LLM extractor fails, a rule-based fallback still finds the tasks.
+- **MicroSteps.** Break any task into three to seven concrete next actions without leaving the app.
+- **Dictation history and search.** Every transcript is stored locally and full-text searchable. Star entries, add tags, edit the text in a dedicated viewer.
+- **Custom profiles and templates.** Define vocabulary terms and output templates per context — meeting notes, code review, journal — so the same voice note fits different workflows.
+- **Export to markdown.** One-click YAML-frontmatter export to an Obsidian vault or any folder you choose.
+
+## Privacy and AI use
+
+No voice, transcript, or task data leaves your machine. There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no crash-reporting service. Lumotia uses AI tools in its own development process — that is disclosed fully in `docs/release/how-lumotia-is-built.md`, along with the evidence that justifies trusting code built that way. The full breakdown of what stays local, what optionally touches the network (model downloads), and what never leaves the machine is in `docs/release/privacy-and-ai-use.md`. The known rough edges for this release are listed honestly in `docs/release/v0.1-known-limitations.md`.
+
+## First-install warnings
+
+**macOS:** Depending on whether a Developer ID is applied, macOS Gatekeeper may show a warning that the app is from an unidentified developer. The workaround and verification steps are documented in `docs/release/install-warnings.md`.
+
+**Windows:** Windows SmartScreen may display a warning on first launch because the installer is new and has not yet accumulated a reputation score. The warning is dismissible; the exact steps and what to check are in `docs/release/install-warnings.md`.
+
+**Linux:** The release ships as an AppImage. A SHA-256 checksum is published alongside the download file. Verify the checksum before running. Steps are in `docs/release/install-warnings.md`.

+description: "How to set up a virtual audio source so the smoke harness can run audio-dependent cells unattended — without you speaking into a microphone."
+---
+
+# Virtual audio setup for smoke testing
+
+## Why
+
+Lumotia's smoke driver (`scripts/smoke-linux-driver.sh`) can automate the Capture cell — pressing the record hotkey, waiting, stopping — but the recording pipeline needs an audio signal to produce a transcript. Without one it records silence, Whisper returns nothing, and the Cleanup and History cells have nothing to assert against.
+
+A virtual audio source feeds a synthetic signal into the recording pipeline so the smoke harness can run the audio-dependent cells without you talking. You set it up once before a test run and tear it down after.
+
+## Setup on Linux (PulseAudio or PipeWire-pulse)
+
+PipeWire ships a PulseAudio compatibility layer on all major distros since 2022, so the `pactl` commands below work on both.
+
+**Option A — sine-wave tone (always available, no extra files)**
+
+```sh
+pactl load-module module-sine-source source_name=lumotia-test frequency=440
+```
+
+This creates a virtual microphone that emits a 440 Hz tone continuously. Whisper will transcribe it as something like "A" or ambient noise — enough to produce a non-empty transcript row and exercise the pipeline.
+
+**Option B — WAV file (closer to real speech)**
+
+First generate a test file. If `espeak` is installed you get a synthetic voice; otherwise `ffmpeg` generates a tone:
+
+```sh
+# With espeak (sounds like speech — better for Whisper)
+espeak -v en -s 150 "Lumotia smoke test one two three" \
+  --stdout | ffmpeg -i pipe:0 -ar 16000 -ac 1 -f s16le /tmp/lumotia-test.raw 2>/dev/null
+ffmpeg -f s16le -ar 16000 -ac 1 -i /tmp/lumotia-test.raw /tmp/lumotia-test.wav 2>/dev/null
+
+# Without espeak (synthetic tone — still exercises the pipeline)
+ffmpeg -f lavfi -i "sine=frequency=440:duration=5" -ar 16000 -ac 1 /tmp/lumotia-test.wav 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+Then load the pipe-source:
+
+```sh
+pactl load-module module-pipe-source \
+  source_name=lumotia-test \
+  file=/tmp/lumotia-test.wav \
+  format=s16le rate=16000 channels=1
+```
+
+**Wire it into Lumotia**
+
+Open Lumotia → Settings → Start Here → Microphone and pick **lumotia-test** from the dropdown. Save. Then run the smoke driver:
+
+```sh
+./scripts/smoke-linux-driver.sh [/path/to/AppImage]
+```
+
+**Tear down after the run**
+
+```sh
+pactl unload-module $(pactl list short modules | grep lumotia-test | awk '{print $1}')
+```
+
+The smoke driver does not automatically unload the module, so your regular microphone is unaffected by the test run.
+
+## macOS
+
+Use **BlackHole** (open-source, free from Existential Audio). Install via Homebrew:
+
+```sh
+brew install --cask blackhole-2ch
+```
+
+After installing, open **Audio MIDI Setup** (Applications → Utilities), create a **Multi-Output Device** that includes both BlackHole 2ch and your speakers if you want to hear output. Set BlackHole 2ch as the input in Lumotia → Settings → Start Here → Microphone.
+
+To feed audio into BlackHole during the test, route any audio player's output to the BlackHole device, or use `ffmpeg` with the AVFoundation backend (note: macOS xdotool equivalents are outside the current smoke-driver scope — these steps are manual on macOS).
+
+## Windows
+
+Use **VB-CABLE** (free from VB-Audio). Download from [vb-audio.com/Cable](https://vb-audio.com/Cable/), run the installer with admin rights, reboot. Set **CABLE Output** as the recording device in Lumotia → Settings → Start Here → Microphone. Route audio to **CABLE Input** from any player to feed the pipeline.
+
+Windows smoke-test automation (UI driving) is not currently in scope for v0.1 — these instructions document the audio-loopback pattern for when it is.

+# Lumotia v0.1 release-completion implementation plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development to implement this plan. Each task below is dispatched to a fresh sonnet subagent with a self-contained brief, then verified before checking off. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Complete every code-side item in `docs/release/v0.1-checklist.md` and `docs/release/v0.1-ui-hardening.md`. Document everything that fundamentally requires the human (signing certs, real-hardware probes, smoke-test on platforms we don't have, tester recruitment) so the user can pick those up immediately after this session.
+
+**Architecture:** Three layers preserved (Svelte UI → Tauri commands → Rust crates). New work lands as: SQLite migration v17 (`onboarding_events`, `lumotia_events`), one new Tauri commands module (`commands/onboarding.rs`), new Svelte components (`StatusPill.svelte`, `PostCaptureCard.svelte`, settings restructure), surgical edits to `FirstRunPage.svelte` / `DictationPage.svelte` / `SettingsPage.svelte` / `+layout.svelte`, and release-doc additions (CHANGELOG.md, release notes, privacy disclosure page, README updates).
+
+**Tech Stack:** Tauri 2 + Svelte 5 runes + Rust workspace + SQLite via sqlx 0.8 + FTS5. No new dependencies introduced.

+## Baseline verified before starting (2026-05-14 22:32)
+
+- ✅ `cargo check --workspace --all-targets` clean
+- ✅ `npm run check` — 4015 files / 0 errors / 0 warnings
+- ✅ `npm run test` — 13/13 vitest passing
+- ✅ `cargo fmt --check` clean
+- ✅ `scripts/dogfood-rebrand-drill.sh` exists + executable
+- Not yet run on baseline: `cargo test --workspace`, `cargo clippy -D warnings`, dogfood drill (will run after Tier 1+2)
+
+---
+
+## Recon findings — what's already done vs missing
+
+### ✅ Already complete (verify + tick only)
+- Trust + security boundary: MCP read-only (`crates/mcp/src/main.rs:18` uses `init_readonly`); MCP stdio-only (no TCP listener); `lumotia-cloud-providers` has zero `#[tauri::command]`; `npm audit signatures` runs in `run.sh:30`.
+- LLM cleanup + tag extraction failure paths preserve raw transcript (`crates/ai-formatting/src/llm_client.rs:142-159`, `src-tauri/src/commands/llm.rs:422-439`).
+- Design-system preview catalog: 20 HTML files under `src/design-system/preview/` (matches doc inventory).
+- `prefers-reduced-motion`: respected in CompletionSparkline, ToastViewport, SettingsGroup, TasksPage, DictationPage, app.css.
+- Tauri commands invoke handler: 95+ commands wired in `src-tauri/src/lib.rs:678+`.
+- `KNOWN-ISSUES.md`: KI-01 → KI-06 + RB-08 entries present.
+- `rust-toolchain.toml`: pinned to 1.94.1.
+- `dogfood-rebrand-drill.sh`: exists + executable.
+- `FirstRunPage.svelte` (348 lines): exists with skip option (lines 339-345) and probe/download flows.
+- Versions synced (3-of-4): `src-tauri/Cargo.toml` = `package.json` = `tauri.conf.json` = `0.1.0`. Workspace `Cargo.toml` lacks an explicit version field — decide policy in Tier 2.
+
+### 🔧 Partial (needs targeted fix)
+- First-run gate (`src/routes/+layout.svelte:345-353`) — gates on model-presence, should also check `onboarding_events` record.
+- Recording-as-sacred-state — `page.recording` boolean is tracked but nav doesn't simplify during recording.
+- Error-state copy — error strings exist but leak raw `err.message` (e.g. `SettingsPage.svelte` audio/vocabulary/diagnostic errors); needs plain-language sweep.
+- Keyboard shortcuts + focus ring — hotkey infrastructure exists, but `:focus-visible` coverage is minimal in `app.css`, textarea uses `focus:outline-none` (line 1058 of DictationPage), no Ctrl+K / Esc-closes-modal documented.
+- Task-extraction LLM call (`crates/llm/src/lib.rs:525-554`) — returns Err on parse failure with no rule-based fallback. Verify whether a separate frontend regex extractor exists; if not, add backend fallback.
+- `how-lumotia-is-built.md` exists at `docs/release/` but is not linked from `README.md`.
+- README mentions install paths + first-run but does not brand v0.1 as the launch release or link the GitHub issues URL explicitly.
+
+### ❌ Missing entirely (build from scratch)
+- `StatusPill.svelte` Svelte component + `components-status-pills.html` preview entry + app-wide integration (Ready / Recording / Paused / Transcribing / Cleaning / Extracting tasks / Saved / Exported / Needs review / Failed safely).
+- Post-capture card component — surfaces after every recording with raw transcript / cleaned / extracted tasks / MicroSteps / Save / Export / Start-first-MicroStep / Open-in-History.
+- `onboarding_events` SQLite table (`completed_at`, `skipped`, `version`) + migration v17.
+- `lumotia_events` SQLite table for activation log.
+- `src-tauri/src/commands/onboarding.rs` Tauri commands module.
+- Settings → Help section with manual-launch tutorial trigger.
+- Pre-supplied test-recording prompt step in FirstRunPage.
+- Settings 6-section sanity pass: current 7-group structure (Audio / Vocabulary / Transcription / AI & Processing / Tasks & Rituals / Output & Capture / Appearance & System) does not match v0.1 spec (Start Here / Transcription / Models / Tasks / Accessibility / Privacy / Advanced).
+- `CHANGELOG.md` (does not exist at repo root).
+- Release notes draft (does not exist).
+- Privacy + AI-use disclosure page (does not exist).
+- AppImage SHA-256 publication in `.github/workflows/build.yml`.
+- Per-platform "first install warning you may see" doc.
+- Diagnostic bundle command (logs + system info + redacted preferences, skip transcripts/audio).
+- `Settings → Diagnostics → Activation log` UI surfacing the local activation events.
+- LLM hang timeout wrap (per known-limitations soft edge — confirm if v0.1 must-fix or v0.2 deferral).
+- npm dev deps exact-pin sweep (10 ^/~ ranges remaining in `devDependencies`).
+- Workspace `Cargo.toml` version-field policy decision.
+
+### 👤 Human-required (cannot complete in this session — Tier 4 will document)
+- Windows code-signing certificate procurement + wiring secrets into `.github/workflows/build.yml`.
+- macOS notarisation with Apple Developer ID + secrets wiring.
+- App Nap real-hardware verification on Apple Silicon (`RB-08`).
+- Manual smoke-test matrix on 5 platforms (Linux Fedora, Linux Ubuntu LTS, macOS Apple Silicon, macOS Intel, Windows 11).
+- 10-step tester acceptance flow personally on Linux.
+- Recruiting 20 testers + private-beta activation metrics + public-launch metrics.
+- Decision recorded for KI-02 (Linux idle inhibit) and KI-03 (Windows sleep prevention) — fix-if-tiny vs document.
+
+---
+
+## Tier 1 — Foundation (sequential, must complete before Tier 2 parallels)
+
+### Task 1.1: SQLite migration v17 — onboarding_events + lumotia_events tables
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/storage/src/migrations.rs` (add migration v17)
+- Reference: `crates/storage/src/lib.rs` (storage entry point — confirm migration registration pattern)
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Add migration v17 to `crates/storage/src/migrations.rs`. Two tables:
+
+```sql
+-- onboarding_events: gates first-run, supplies time-to-first-capture metric
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS onboarding_events (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+    event TEXT NOT NULL,                    -- 'started' | 'permissions_granted' | 'model_ready' | 'test_recording' | 'cleaned_transcript_seen' | 'completed' | 'skipped'
+    completed_at INTEGER NOT NULL,          -- unix epoch seconds
+    version TEXT NOT NULL,                  -- onboarding flow version, e.g. '0.1.0'
+    skipped INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,     -- 1 if step skipped, 0 if completed
+    notes TEXT                              -- optional free-text; e.g. selected model name, error reason
+);
+CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_onboarding_events_event ON onboarding_events(event);
+
+-- lumotia_events: opt-in local activation log (Settings → Diagnostics → Activation log surface)
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS lumotia_events (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+    kind TEXT NOT NULL,                     -- 'first_capture' | 'first_export' | 'first_search' | 'first_task_extract' | 'capture_completed' | 'task_extracted'
+    occurred_at INTEGER NOT NULL,           -- unix epoch seconds
+    payload TEXT                            -- JSON blob, optional, NEVER includes transcript text
+);
+CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_lumotia_events_kind ON lumotia_events(kind);
+CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_lumotia_events_occurred ON lumotia_events(occurred_at);
+```
+
+Match the existing migration registration pattern (look at v16 to see how migrations are added to the migration list). Add a unit test in the same file pattern as existing migration tests that opens an in-memory SQLite, runs migrations through v17, and confirms both tables exist.
+
+Run `cargo test -p lumotia-storage` and report pass/fail. If fail, fix and re-run.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1.2: Onboarding Tauri commands module
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `src-tauri/src/commands/onboarding.rs`
+- Modify: `src-tauri/src/commands/mod.rs` (register new module)
+- Modify: `src-tauri/src/lib.rs` (register commands in invoke handler)
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Create `src-tauri/src/commands/onboarding.rs` exposing these `#[tauri::command]` functions, each calling into `lumotia-storage`:
+
+- `record_onboarding_event(event: String, version: String, skipped: bool, notes: Option<String>) -> Result<(), String>`
+- `list_onboarding_events() -> Result<Vec<OnboardingEvent>, String>`
+- `has_completed_onboarding() -> Result<bool, String>` — returns true if any row with event='completed' or event='skipped' exists
+- `record_lumotia_event(kind: String, payload: Option<String>) -> Result<(), String>`
+- `list_lumotia_events() -> Result<Vec<LumotiaEvent>, String>`
+- `clear_lumotia_events() -> Result<(), String>` — for the user opt-out path
+
+Define `OnboardingEvent` and `LumotiaEvent` as `serde::Serialize` structs in the same file. Use `chrono::Utc::now().timestamp()` for occurred_at. Keep functions thin — the storage helpers do the SQL work.
+
+Add the corresponding helpers to `crates/storage/src/lib.rs` (or an `events.rs` module): `insert_onboarding_event`, `list_onboarding_events`, `has_completed_onboarding`, `insert_lumotia_event`, `list_lumotia_events`, `clear_lumotia_events`. Use the existing `Storage` struct's connection pool.
+
+Add unit tests in the storage crate for each helper (in-memory SQLite, insert + retrieve round-trip).
+
+Register the module in `src-tauri/src/commands/mod.rs` and add the six commands to the `tauri::generate_handler!` macro list in `src-tauri/src/lib.rs`.
+
+Run `cargo build -p lumotia` and `cargo test -p lumotia-storage`. Both must pass.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1.3: StatusPill Svelte component + preview entry
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `src/lib/components/StatusPill.svelte`
+- Create: `src/design-system/preview/components-status-pills.html`
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Create a `StatusPill.svelte` component using Svelte 5 runes. Props (use `$props()`):
+
+```ts
+type Status =
+  | 'ready'
+  | 'recording'
+  | 'paused'
+  | 'transcribing'
+  | 'cleaning'
+  | 'extracting-tasks'
+  | 'saved'
+  | 'exported'
+  | 'needs-review'
+  | 'failed-safely';
+
+let { status, label = undefined } = $props<{ status: Status; label?: string }>();
+```
+
+Render a pill (rounded-full span) with:
+- Plain-text label (use the prop, fall back to a default map: `ready → "Ready"`, `recording → "Recording"`, `paused → "Paused"`, `transcribing → "Transcribing"`, `cleaning → "Cleaning"`, `extracting-tasks → "Extracting tasks"`, `saved → "Saved"`, `exported → "Exported"`, `needs-review → "Needs review"`, `failed-safely → "Failed safely"`).
+- A small leading dot (color-coded but never the only signal — the literal label is always present).
+- Color tokens from `src/design-system/preview/colors-semantic.html` — read that file to pick the right semantic colour per state. (`ready` → neutral, `recording` → accent/danger, `paused` → warning, `transcribing/cleaning/extracting-tasks` → progress, `saved/exported` → success, `needs-review/failed-safely` → warning/danger).
+- `aria-live="polite"` so screen readers announce state changes.
+- Honour `prefers-reduced-motion` — no animation on the dot if the media query matches.
+
+Create `src/design-system/preview/components-status-pills.html` mirroring the structure of the existing `components-toasts.html` and `components-buttons.html` files in the same directory: render every status with its label so the catalogued surface is visible.
+
+Do NOT integrate into the app yet — that happens in Tier 2 task 2.5.
+
+Smoke-test by running `npm run check` — must stay 0 errors / 0 warnings.
+
+---
+
+## Tier 2 — Independent UI + onboarding + LLM work (parallelisable after Tier 1)
+
+### Task 2.1: First-run gate fix + tutorial relaunch from Settings → Help
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/routes/+layout.svelte` (gate logic around lines 345-353)
+- Modify: `src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte` (add Help section with "Replay first-run tutorial" button)
+- Modify: `src/lib/pages/FirstRunPage.svelte` (call `record_onboarding_event` on each completion)
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Two changes:
+
+1. **First-run gate** in `src/routes/+layout.svelte`: after the existing model-presence check around lines 345-353, ALSO call `invoke<boolean>('has_completed_onboarding')`. If `true`, do NOT route to first-run regardless of model state — that's the migration-aware bypass. If `false` AND no models, route to first-run as today.
+
+2. **FirstRunPage** (`src/lib/pages/FirstRunPage.svelte`): after each successful step in the existing flow (probe success, model download success, ready-screen reached, skip), call `invoke('record_onboarding_event', { event, version: '0.1.0', skipped, notes })` with the appropriate event name. Use the event vocabulary from migration v17 (`started`, `permissions_granted`, `model_ready`, `test_recording`, `cleaned_transcript_seen`, `completed`, `skipped`). On the final success path call `record_onboarding_event` with `event='completed'`. On the skip path call with `event='skipped'`.
+
+3. **SettingsPage Help section**: add a new top-level section titled "Help" near the bottom of the settings list. One button: "Replay first-run tutorial". On click, set a session flag and navigate to first-run (`page.current = 'first-run'`). The flag tells FirstRunPage to skip the migration-bypass.
+
+Do NOT do the full settings 6-section regroup here — that's Task 2.4. Just add the Help section as-is.
+
+Run `npm run check` — must stay 0 errors / 0 warnings. Run `cargo build -p lumotia` to make sure the Rust side still compiles.
+
+---
+
+### Task 2.2: Pre-supplied test-recording prompt + failure recovery in FirstRunPage
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/lib/pages/FirstRunPage.svelte`
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Add two improvements to FirstRunPage:
+
+1. **Pre-supplied test-recording prompt step** — between the existing "model ready" state and the "rituals" preference prompts, add a "Try a test recording" step. Show the user a short, neutral pre-supplied sentence to read aloud, e.g.:
+
+   > "Try saying: 'Today is a good day to test my microphone and see how the transcription looks.'"
+
+   Render a record button (reuse the existing toggleRecording wiring from DictationPage if extractable, otherwise inline a minimal recorder). After a successful test recording, call `record_onboarding_event` with `event='test_recording'`, then proceed to a "Here's your cleaned transcript" preview step (event='cleaned_transcript_seen'). User clicks "Looks good" to continue.
+
+2. **Failure recovery** — every existing error path (probe failure, download failure, test-recording failure) must show: error description in plain words, a **Retry** button that re-runs the same step, and a **Skip this step** secondary button that records the event with `skipped: true` and proceeds. No dead-end "something went wrong" with no buttons.
+
+Run `npm run check` and `npm run test`. Both must stay green.
+
+---
+
+### Task 2.3: Post-capture card component + integration into capture flow
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `src/lib/components/PostCaptureCard.svelte`
+- Modify: `src/lib/pages/DictationPage.svelte` (render the card after recording stops)
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Create `PostCaptureCard.svelte` (Svelte 5 runes). Props:
+
+```ts
+type Props = {
+  transcriptId: string;
+  rawTranscript: string;
+  cleanedTranscript: string;
+  cleanedSource: 'llm' | 'rule-based';   // labels which path produced the cleaned version
+  extractedTasks: string[];
+  microSteps?: string[];                  // surfaced when a task is selected
+  onSelectTask?: (idx: number) => void;
+  onExport?: () => void;
+  onStartFirstMicroStep?: () => void;
+  onOpenInHistory?: () => void;
+};
+```
+
+Render as a card (reuse classes from `src/design-system/preview/components-cards.html`):
+- Heading: "Captured — saved" with a `<StatusPill status="saved" />` to the right.
+- Cleaned transcript prominent; raw transcript collapsible (`<details><summary>Show raw transcript</summary>`).
+- A label "(cleaned by local model)" or "(cleaned by rules)" depending on `cleanedSource`.
+- Extracted tasks as a list; clicking one calls `onSelectTask` and reveals MicroSteps.
+- Action buttons: Save (already happened — show as confirmation `<StatusPill status="saved" />`), Export, Start first MicroStep (only enabled if microSteps present), Open in History.
+- DO NOT include: suggested title, suggested folder/project/area/person/topic, possible-links, accept/edit/park/archive, confidence scores. Those are v0.2 (per `docs/release/v0.1-ui-hardening.md` "post-capture card display-only" boundary).
+
+Integrate into `DictationPage.svelte`: after a recording stops and cleanup completes, show the card below or in place of the textarea. Wire the action props to existing functions where they exist (export → existing export flow, openInHistory → router push to `/history?id=...`).
+
+Also: on first successful capture, fire `invoke('record_lumotia_event', { kind: 'first_capture' })` — but only if no `first_capture` event already exists. (Cheap check: read activation events on app start, cache.)
+
+Run `npm run check` and `npm run test`. Both must stay green.
+
+---
+
+### Task 2.4: Settings 6-section sanity pass + Help section integration
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte`
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Restructure SettingsPage.svelte's section grouping to match the v0.1 spec from `docs/release/v0.1-ui-hardening.md` section 5 — preserve every existing setting, just regroup. Final order (top to bottom):
+
+1. **Start Here** — model picker, microphone, language
+2. **Transcription** — engine choice, cleanup level, custom vocabulary preview
+3. **Models** — download, switch, disk-space readout
+4. **Tasks** — energy-aware sequencing toggles, WIP limit
+5. **Accessibility** — `prefers-reduced-motion`, contrast, typography size, screen-reader hints
+6. **Privacy** — local-only badge, AI-use disclosure link (link to `/docs/privacy.md` once Task 3.3 lands; for now use `/docs/release/how-lumotia-is-built.md`), local activation log toggle, data-dir location
+7. **Advanced** — everything else, hidden under a click (collapsed by default)
+8. **Help** (added in Task 2.1, keep at bottom) — replay first-run tutorial, link to known-limitations doc, link to GitHub issues
+
+Existing settings to relocate (current → new section):
+- Audio settings → split: device picker → Start Here, advanced gain/sample-rate → Advanced
+- Vocabulary → Transcription
+- AI & Processing → split: cleanup-level toggle → Transcription, model-warmup toggles → Models
+- Tasks & Rituals → split: WIP/sequencing → Tasks, ritual settings → Advanced
+- Output & Capture → Advanced (paste matrix, hotkey)
+- Appearance & System → split: contrast/motion/typography → Accessibility, theme/window opacity → Advanced
+
+The full progressive-disclosure regroup with search box is **deferred to v0.2** per the boundary doc — this pass is "the basics are findable", NOT "every setting is grouped beautifully". Do not invent new settings or remove existing ones. Just move them.
+
+Add a one-line `<p>` under "Privacy": "Local activation log: this is stored on your device only and never sent anywhere. You can clear it any time." With a "Clear activation log" button wired to `invoke('clear_lumotia_events')`.
+
+Run `npm run check` — must stay 0 errors / 0 warnings.
+
+---
+
+### Task 2.5: StatusPill app-wide integration
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/lib/pages/DictationPage.svelte` (replace status string + colour with StatusPill)
+- Modify: any sidebar status chip component (recon noted `LlmStatusChip` — find it and integrate, or replace with StatusPill)
+- Modify: `src/lib/components/PostCaptureCard.svelte` (already wired in Task 2.3 but verify)
+- Modify: any other surface that surfaces async state strings — sweep with `rg "Recording\.\.\.|Cleaning|Transcribing|Saved|Exported"` and replace where appropriate
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Sweep the frontend for every place async/transcription state is surfaced as a hand-rolled label or coloured dot. Replace each with `<StatusPill status="..." />`. The Recon turned up these surfaces explicitly — start there:
+
+- `src/lib/pages/DictationPage.svelte` lines 84-311 — `page.status` string + `page.statusColor` hex pairs
+- Any `LlmStatusChip.svelte` or `StatusChip.svelte` in `src/lib/components/`
+- `src/lib/pages/HistoryPage.svelte` if it surfaces per-row state (check)
+- Toast text where async state is being narrated to the user
+
+Map the old status strings to the new vocabulary:
+- "Ready" → `ready`
+- "Recording..." or "Recording" → `recording`
+- "Loading model..." or "Transcribing..." → `transcribing`
+- "Cleaning up..." → `cleaning`
+- "Extracting tasks..." → `extracting-tasks`
+- "Saved" → `saved`
+- "Exported" → `exported`
+- "Error" + raw err.message → `failed-safely` and the err.message goes into a sibling explainer line (not into the pill)
+- "Paused" → `paused`
+
+Preserve any custom user-visible label by passing `label={...}` if the existing copy is more specific than the default.
+
+Run `npm run check`. Must stay 0 errors / 0 warnings. Do a manual visual check by running `npm run dev:frontend` if helpful.
+
+---
+
+### Task 2.6: Recording-as-sacred-state — nav simplification during active recording
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: the layout file that renders the secondary nav (likely `src/routes/+layout.svelte` or `src/lib/components/Sidebar.svelte` — find via `rg "History" src/`)
+- Modify: `src/lib/stores/page.svelte.ts` (expose `recording` state if not already exposed for layout consumption)
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+When `page.recording === true`, the sidebar/secondary nav must visibly de-emphasise (greyed, lower opacity, non-interactive — but NOT removed from DOM, so screen-reader users can still navigate).
+
+Specifically during recording:
+- Settings / History / Tasks nav items: `opacity-30 pointer-events-none aria-disabled="true"`
+- Only-visible primary action: the recording timer and Pause / Stop / Cancel buttons
+- Cancel must show a confirm prompt before discarding
+
+Add a small fade transition (200ms) wrapped in `prefers-reduced-motion` so it instantly snaps for users who opt out.
+
+DO NOT remove DOM nodes — accessibility intent is "de-emphasise visually" not "hide from assistive tech". Use `aria-disabled` and `tabindex="-1"` to remove from tab order while recording.
+
+Run `npm run check`. Must stay clean.
+
+---
+
+### Task 2.7: Home capture clarity — big record button + status pill + last-capture preview
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/lib/pages/DictationPage.svelte`
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Apply the v0.1-ui-hardening.md section 1 "Home capture clarity" mantra to DictationPage.svelte. Within the existing structure, ensure:
+
+1. **Big record button** is the visually dominant element on initial render — minimum 80px diameter, centred or top-of-content, primary CTA colour. Visible within 1 second of landing on Home (no hover, no scroll required).
+
+2. **Status pill** rendered prominently near the record button using `<StatusPill status="..." />` (already wired in Task 2.5).
+
+3. **Profile + model summary** — single read-only line near the top: `<small>Profile: {{name}} · Model: {{model}}</small>` so the user can see what they're capturing as.
+
+4. **Last-capture preview** — collapsed card showing: the last cleaned transcript (first 80 chars + ellipsis), timestamp, click expands or jumps to History. Hidden if no captures exist.
+
+5. No more than 3 visible secondary CTAs at any time. If there are more than 3, fold the rest behind a "More" disclosure.
+
+Don't redesign the page — additive hardening only. Existing template-selector / live-warning / save confirmation stay. Just hoist the primary action and add the preview.
+
+Run `npm run check` and `npm run test`. Both must stay green.
+
+---
+
+### Task 2.8: Error-state copy sweep
+
+**Files:**
+- Sweep the frontend with `rg -n "Error|err\.message|error\.message|Could not|Failed" src/` and address every visible-to-user surface
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Sweep every error surface in `src/` and rewrite to match this contract (per `docs/release/v0.1-ui-hardening.md` section 6):
+
+1. **Preserve raw transcript** — any error path triggered during/after a recording must NOT clear the textarea or post-capture card data. If the failing function returns an error, surface the error but leave the captured data intact.
+
+2. **Plain words** — replace raw `err.message` exposure with a human sentence + the raw cause folded into a `<details>` for the curious. Example transformation:
+
+   - Before: `error = 'Could not enumerate audio devices: ' + err.message`
+   - After: `error = 'We couldn't list your audio devices. Plug a microphone in or grant Lumotia microphone permission, then try again.'` with `<details><summary>Technical details</summary>{err.message}</details>` underneath.
+
+3. **Tell the user what to do next** — every error surface ends with one concrete next action: "Try again", "Continue without LLM", "Open Settings → Privacy", "See known limitations".
+
+4. **No stack traces in the user-facing surface** — stack traces go to the existing crash dump / log files only.
+
+Use `<StatusPill status="failed-safely" />` next to the explainer when the data was preserved through the failure (LLM cleanup error, task-extract error, tag-extract error). Use `<StatusPill status="needs-review" />` when the user has to act.
+
+Files known to need rewrites (from recon):
+- `src/lib/pages/DictationPage.svelte` — recording / transcription error surfaces
+- `src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte` — `audioDevicesError`, `vocabularyError`, `diagnosticReportError`, `ttsVoicesError`
+- Toast components — review every toast call site
+
+Run `npm run check` and `npm run test`. Both must stay green. Run `rg "err\.message" src/` after the sweep — every remaining match should be inside a `<details>` block, not in primary copy.
+
+---
+
+### Task 2.9: Keyboard flow + focus ring restoration + 10-step keyboard test
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/app.css` (broaden `:focus-visible` coverage)
+- Modify: `src/lib/pages/DictationPage.svelte` (remove `focus:outline-none` on textarea, line ~1058)
+- Modify: layout/keybinding registration — find existing hotkey wiring, add Ctrl+K (search) and Esc (close modal) bindings
+- Modify: any modal components — confirm Esc closes them
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Per v0.1-ui-hardening.md section 7 the entire 10-step tester acceptance flow must be completable via keyboard alone.
+
+Concrete changes:
+
+1. **Focus ring** — in `src/app.css`, add a global `:focus-visible` rule that's visible on every interactive element at default zoom. Use the existing accent token. Do NOT use `:focus` (always-on) — `:focus-visible` only fires for keyboard focus, which is what we want. Remove any `focus:outline-none` Tailwind utility on visible interactive elements (textarea on DictationPage line ~1058 is the known violator — sweep for others).
+
+2. **Ctrl+K opens search** — wire a global keyboard listener in the root layout. On Ctrl+K (or ⌘+K on macOS), navigate to History and focus the search input. If already on History, focus the search input.
+
+3. **Escape closes modal** — every dialog/modal component must respond to Escape with close. Check existing modals (template menu, ritual config, etc.) and add the listener if missing.
+
+4. **Open Settings from anywhere** — Ctrl+, (or ⌘+,) navigates to Settings.
+
+5. **Recording start/stop** — already wired via `lumotia:toggle-recording` event. Verify the keyboard binding is configurable in Settings → Advanced (or Help) and labelled there.
+
+6. **Arrow keys through MicroSteps** — in PostCaptureCard.svelte, when MicroSteps are visible, ↑/↓ move focus between them, Enter starts the timer on the focused MicroStep.
+
+7. **No `:hover`-only controls** — sweep `rg "group-hover|hover:" src/` and verify every hover-only affordance has a keyboard equivalent (focus-visible variant or always-visible).
+
+After implementing, manually walk the 10-step flow with keyboard only in `npm run dev:frontend` if helpful; otherwise `npm run check` clean is the gate.
+
+---
+
+### Task 2.10: Task-extraction LLM rule-based fallback
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/llm/src/lib.rs` (around `extract_tasks_with_feedback`, lines 525-554)
+- Modify: `crates/llm/src/lib.rs` (add a `rule_based_extract_tasks` function or move existing if present)
+- Modify: `src-tauri/src/commands/tasks.rs` (line 350-375 — fall back to rule-based on LLM error)
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Per `docs/release/v0.1-known-limitations.md` ("AI cleanup + extraction failure modes" — Task extraction throws → rule-based regex+verb-list extractor takes over), the contract is that task extraction NEVER returns no tasks just because the LLM failed.
+
+First, recon: search the codebase for an existing rule-based task extractor. `rg -n "extract_tasks|rule_based|verb_list|imperative" crates/ src-tauri/`. If one exists, wire it in. If not, build a minimal one in `crates/llm/src/lib.rs`:
+
+```rust
+pub fn rule_based_extract_tasks(transcript: &str) -> Vec<String> {
+    // Split on sentence boundaries (. ? ! and newlines).
+    // Keep sentences that start with an imperative verb (need to / I need to / let me / I should /
+    // remember to / don't forget to / make sure / call / send / write / fix / update / review).
+    // Cap at 10 to avoid wall-of-text.
+    // Trim, dedupe.
+}
+```
+
+Then in `extract_tasks_with_feedback` (or wherever the cmd-side calls happen, around `commands/tasks.rs:350-375`): on `Err` from the LLM call, log a warning, call `rule_based_extract_tasks(&transcript)`, return those. Surface to the frontend with a flag so the UI can label them "(rule-based)" — extend the existing return type with an `extracted_via: 'llm' | 'rule-based'` field if helpful, or use a sentinel prefix in the strings.
+
+Add unit tests: a transcript containing "I need to send Sarah the report tomorrow. Don't forget the slide deck." should produce 2 rule-based tasks.
+
+Run `cargo test -p lumotia-llm` and `cargo test --workspace`. Both must pass.
+
+---
+
+### Task 2.11: LLM hang timeout wrap (decision: v0.1 vs v0.2)
+
+**Decision needed:** The `v0.1-known-limitations.md` documents the LLM-hang case as a v0.2 hygiene track item ("the only soft edge"). Two options:
+
+- **Option A (v0.1 fix):** Wrap the LLM cleanup / extraction calls in a `tokio::time::timeout(Duration::from_secs(120), ...)`. On timeout, propagate to the rule-based fallback. Status pill shows `failed-safely`.
+- **Option B (v0.2 deferral):** Leave the soft edge as documented. No code change in this task.
+
+**Default choice for this plan:** Option A. The 120s timeout is a one-line change per call site and closes a real user-trust issue with no architectural risk. If the user prefers Option B, this task becomes a no-op + a tick on the known-limitations entry.
+
+**Files (if Option A):**
+- Modify: `src-tauri/src/commands/llm.rs` (cleanup_text command + extract_tasks command + extract_content_tags command)
+
+**Brief for subagent (Option A):**
+For each of the three LLM Tauri commands (cleanup_text, extract_tasks_cmd, extract_content_tags_cmd) wrap the LLM call in `tokio::time::timeout(Duration::from_secs(120), ...)`. On timeout, return `Err("LLM call timed out — using fallback or preserved input.")`. The frontend already receives this and surfaces via Task 2.8 error-copy contract.
+
+For `extract_tasks_cmd`, after the timeout fires, call `rule_based_extract_tasks` from Task 2.10 and return those tasks instead of an error.
+
+Run `cargo build -p lumotia` and `cargo test --workspace`.
+
+---
+
+## Tier 3 — Release artefacts + docs (parallelisable, can start anytime)
+
+### Task 3.1: CHANGELOG.md seeded with Phase 1-8 outcomes
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `CHANGELOG.md` (repo root)
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Create `CHANGELOG.md` at repo root following Keep a Changelog format. Seed it with the v0.1.0 entry written in end-user voice (NOT commit-log style). Read recent commits via `git log --oneline -50` and `docs/release/how-lumotia-is-built.md` to harvest material, then write 5-10 bullet points under sections:
+
+```
+# Changelog
+
+All notable user-facing changes to Lumotia are documented here.
+Format: Keep a Changelog. Versioning: SemVer.
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-MM-DD
+
+### Added
+- Local-first dictation with Whisper or Parakeet on your device
+- Automatic transcript cleanup (rule-based + optional local LLM)
+- Task extraction with rule-based fallback when the LLM is unavailable

+
+### Known limitations
+- See docs/release/v0.1-known-limitations.md for the honest list.
+```
+
+Keep it under one screen per section. End-user voice means: "task extraction" not "extract_content_tags GBNF grammar wiring". Date placeholder `2026-MM-DD` — fill in on tag day.
+
+No code change to verify. After writing, view it via `cat CHANGELOG.md` and confirm structure.
+
+---
+
+### Task 3.2: Release notes draft (one page max, plain language)
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `docs/release/v0.1-release-notes.md`
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Write a one-page (≤ 600 word) release notes draft for the public download page. Cover:
+
+- **What Lumotia is** — one paragraph, no jargon. "Local-first dictation that turns your voice notes into clean transcripts and actionable tasks. Everything runs on your device."
+- **What's in v0.1** — 5-7 bullet points in user-benefit voice ("Talk into the app. Get a clean transcript. See your to-dos. Search your history.")
+- **Privacy + AI use** — one paragraph linking to `how-lumotia-is-built.md` and `v0.1-known-limitations.md`. "We use AI tools to write Lumotia. We disclose how. We test what matters. Read the trust page."
+- **First-install warnings** — one short section: macOS Gatekeeper, Windows SmartScreen, Linux AppImage SHA-256 instructions. Two sentences each. (Cross-link: see `docs/release/install-warnings.md` from Task 3.5.)
+- **Supported platforms** — table from the checklist. Linux primary; macOS Apple Silicon + Windows 11 best-effort; macOS Intel only-if-smoke-tested.
+- **Known limitations link** — single line: "See `docs/release/v0.1-known-limitations.md` for the honest list."
+- **Reporting issues** — GitHub URL placeholder.
+
+Match the tone of `docs/release/how-lumotia-is-built.md`. No emoji. No marketing fluff. Calm, specific.
+
+---
+
+### Task 3.3: Privacy + AI-use disclosure page
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `docs/release/privacy-and-ai-use.md`
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Create `docs/release/privacy-and-ai-use.md`. Sections:
+
+1. **What stays local** — explicit list (audio, transcripts, tasks, MicroSteps, history, models, ontology, activation log).
+2. **What optionally reaches the network** — explicit list of every outbound network call the app can make (model downloads from HuggingFace, version-update check if wired, npm audit signatures during dev). For each: when it happens, what data is sent, what consent gate exists.
+3. **What NEVER leaves the machine** — explicit list (audio, transcripts, tasks, voice).
+4. **AI use disclosure** — local LLM is used for cleanup + task extraction; runs on device; downloaded once. The implementation itself is AI-assisted (per `how-lumotia-is-built.md`). Link to that doc.
+5. **MCP server caveat** — the read-only MCP surface gives any wired client read access to all transcripts and tasks. Treat with the same care as a folder of personal notes. (Mirror the wording from `v0.1-known-limitations.md`.)
+6. **Activation log** — opt-in, local-only, never sent. Settings → Diagnostics → Clear button.
+7. **Crash dumps + logs** — where they live, what they contain, whether they're auto-deleted.
+8. **Your data, your machine** — one closing paragraph. AGPL-3.0-or-later licence, public repo, audit it yourself.
+
+Audience: end users, not engineers. Tone: calm, specific, no fluff. Length: ≤ 600 words.
+
+Link from: `SettingsPage.svelte` Privacy section (already wired to point here in Task 2.4), and `README.md` (added in Task 3.4).
+
+---
+
+### Task 3.4: README updates — link how-built, GitHub issues, v0.1 framing
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `README.md`
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Targeted README updates:
+
+1. Replace the "Pre-alpha" status line with a short "v0.1 release" section that points to:
+   - `docs/release/v0.1-release-notes.md`
+   - `docs/release/v0.1-known-limitations.md`
+   - `docs/release/how-lumotia-is-built.md`
+   - `docs/release/privacy-and-ai-use.md`
+2. Add a "Reporting issues" section near the bottom: GitHub issues URL `https://github.com/jakeadriansames/lumotia/issues`.
+3. Confirm install paths per platform are still correct (AppImage / .deb / .dmg / .msi / .exe).
+4. Confirm first-run expectations are accurate (model download, microphone permission prompt).
+5. Do NOT touch the project pitch / design principles sections — they're locked.
+
+After editing, run `npm run check` (no Svelte impact, but checks markdown links if configured). Read the final file and confirm all four release-doc links resolve to actual files.
+
+---
+
+### Task 3.5: Per-platform first-install warning doc
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `docs/release/install-warnings.md`
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+One-page doc enumerating what users will see on first install per platform and how to proceed safely. Sections:
+
+- **macOS** — Gatekeeper warning ("App can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer"). Workaround: System Settings → Privacy & Security → "Open Anyway". This warning will disappear once we ship a notarised build with an Apple Developer ID. Tracked: see `KNOWN-ISSUES.md` (RB-08-related).
+- **Windows** — SmartScreen "Windows protected your PC" warning. Workaround: click "More info" → "Run anyway". This warning will disappear once we ship an EV-signed installer.
+- **Linux AppImage** — verify the SHA-256 checksum published next to the AppImage on the release page. Show the verification one-liner: `sha256sum lumotia-0.1.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage` then compare to the published value. Optional: import the GPG key once published.
+
+Tone: matter-of-fact, "this is what to do, don't panic, it's expected for a new app". Length: ≤ 400 words.
+
+Link from `v0.1-release-notes.md` (Task 3.2) and `README.md` (Task 3.4).
+
+---
+
+### Task 3.6: AppImage SHA-256 publication wired into build.yml
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `.github/workflows/build.yml`
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+After the AppImage build step in `.github/workflows/build.yml`, add a step that:
+
+1. Computes `sha256sum lumotia-*.AppImage > lumotia-*.AppImage.sha256`
+2. Uploads the `.sha256` file alongside the AppImage as a release artefact
+
+Use the existing `actions/upload-artifact@v4` pattern in the workflow. Do not modify the macOS or Windows steps — they have signing pending (Task 4 — human-required documented).
+
+Reference: GitHub Actions native `runner.os == 'Linux'` conditional. Use `sha256sum` (Linux) — there's no need for a cross-platform variant because this only runs on the Linux job.
+
+After editing, validate the YAML parses by running `yq eval . .github/workflows/build.yml > /dev/null` or just inspect manually.
+
+---
+
+### Task 3.7: Workspace Cargo.toml version policy + npm dev deps exact-pin sweep
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `Cargo.toml` (workspace root)
+- Modify: `package.json`
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Two parts:
+
+1. **Workspace version policy:** Add `[workspace.package]` section to root `Cargo.toml`:
+
+   ```toml
+   [workspace.package]
+   version = "0.1.0"
+   edition = "2021"
+   license = "AGPL-3.0-or-later"
+   repository = "https://github.com/jakeadriansames/lumotia"
+   ```
+
+   Then for each crate's `Cargo.toml` (under `crates/*` and `src-tauri/`), change the `[package]` section to inherit:
+
+   ```toml
+   [package]
+   name = "lumotia-foo"
+   version.workspace = true
+   edition.workspace = true
+   license.workspace = true
+   repository.workspace = true
+   description = "..."  # keep crate-specific descriptions
+   ```
+
+   This keeps the version source-of-truth in one place. Run `cargo check --workspace --all-targets` after — must stay green.
+
+2. **npm dev deps exact-pin:** In `package.json`, find every `^X.Y.Z` and `~X.Y.Z` in `devDependencies`. For each, run `npm view <pkg> version` to get the latest X.Y.Z (or pin to the version that's currently installed per `package-lock.json` — safer). Replace `^X.Y.Z` with `X.Y.Z`. Do NOT change ranges in `dependencies` (runtime deps are usually OK to leave caret-ranged for security patches).
+
+   Recon noted these 10 ranges in devDependencies — pin each:
+   - `@sveltejs/adapter-static`, `@sveltejs/kit`, `@tauri-apps/cli`, plus 7 others — discover via `node -e "const p = require('./package.json'); for (const [k,v] of Object.entries(p.devDependencies||{})) if (/[\^~]/.test(v)) console.log(k, v)"`.
+
+   After editing, run `npm ci --ignore-scripts` to confirm the lockfile resolves cleanly. Run `npm run check` and `npm run test` — both must stay green.
+
+Report any version mismatch surprises (if a current devDep version is behind a published security patch, flag it).
+
+---
+
+### Task 3.8: Diagnostic bundle Tauri command
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `src-tauri/src/commands/diagnostics.rs` (or extend if already exists per recon — module list shows `diagnostics` exists)
+- Modify: `src-tauri/src/lib.rs` (register if new command)
+- Modify: `src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte` Diagnostics section (add "Generate diagnostic bundle" button)
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+The existing `commands/diagnostics.rs` already does some work (recon noted `diagnosticReportError` in SettingsPage). Extend it (or add) `generate_diagnostic_bundle()` that produces a zip file at a user-chosen path containing:
+
+- App version, Tauri version, Rust toolchain, OS + version
+- Last 7 days of logs (whatever Tauri-app `tracing` is writing, capped at 5 MB)
+- Recent crash dumps (cap at 3 most recent files)
+- Redacted preferences — `preferences.json` with sensitive fields blanked (no API keys if any exist; mask user-set vocabulary entries)
+
+**Critical:** must NEVER include audio files or transcript text. Sweep the bundle assembler with a deny-list of file globs (`**/*.wav`, `**/*.opus`, `**/transcripts/**`, `**/audio/**`).
+
+Use `zip` crate (already in workspace if present, otherwise add). Pop a save dialog via `tauri-plugin-dialog`. After save, surface a toast: "Diagnostic bundle saved. You can attach this to a GitHub issue."
+
+Wire into SettingsPage.svelte under the Help (or Diagnostics) section: a "Generate diagnostic bundle" button that calls the command.
+
+Run `cargo build -p lumotia` and `cargo test --workspace`.
+
+---
+
+### Task 3.9: Activation log surface in Settings → Diagnostics
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte` (add Activation log subsection under Privacy or Help)
+
+**Brief for subagent:**
+Add a small Activation log subsection in SettingsPage.svelte. On render, call `invoke('list_lumotia_events')` and display:
+
+- A short paragraph: "This log lives on your device only. We never send it anywhere. It records anonymous milestones (first capture, first export, first task extracted) so you can see your own usage shape."
+- A table: kind | occurred_at (formatted) | payload (if any)
+- A "Clear activation log" button → `invoke('clear_lumotia_events')` then refresh the table.
+- A toggle: "Record activation events" — when off, frontend doesn't fire any new `record_lumotia_event` calls. Persist the toggle in `preferences.json` (use existing preferences plumbing).
+
+Run `npm run check`. Must stay clean.
+
+---
+
+## Tier 4 — Documentation of human-required residual
+
+### Task 4.1: Annotate the checklist with residual + human-required notes
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `docs/release/v0.1-checklist.md`
+- Modify: `docs/release/v0.1-ui-hardening.md`
+
+**Brief for subagent (or me directly at end):**
+After Tier 1-3 land and Tier 5 gates pass, walk every unchecked box in the two release docs and either:
+
+- Tick if completed (with a one-liner reference to the commit / file that satisfies it)
+- Leave unchecked + add a `> 👤 HUMAN REQUIRED:` note explaining why this can't be automated and what specific action the user takes (e.g. "purchase EV signing certificate from DigiCert", "run smoke-test on Apple Silicon hardware", "recruit 5 testers").
+
+Specific items expected to land in the human-required bucket:
+- Windows code-signing certificate sourcing + signing wiring
+- macOS notarisation with Apple Developer ID
+- macOS Apple Silicon App Nap real-hardware verification (RB-08)
+- The 5-platform smoke-test matrix
+- The 10-step tester acceptance flow personally on Linux
+- Private-beta tester recruitment + activation metrics measurement
+- Public v0.1 launch metrics (20/15/10/5 strangers)
+- Decision log for KI-02 (Linux idle inhibit) + KI-03 (Windows sleep prevention) — fix-if-tiny vs document
+
+Do NOT silently tick a box that hasn't been verified. If a code-side item lands but a manual verification step is also required, leave the box unticked and add both a `Code: ✅` and a `Manual: 👤 pending` note.
+
+---
+
+## Tier 5 — Quality gates + dogfood drill (final pass)
+
+### Task 5.1: Run all quality gates green
+
+**Brief for subagent (or me directly):**
+After Tier 1-3 lands, in order:
+
+```
+cargo fmt --check
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
+cargo test --workspace
+npm run check
+npm run test
+scripts/dogfood-rebrand-drill.sh
+```
+
+Each must exit 0. Fix any failure root-cause; do not paper over with `#[allow(...)]` or `npm-check-ignore`. Any new clippy lints introduced by Tier 1-3 work get fixed at the call site.
+
+Report the full output (or summary if green) of each command. The session is done when all six are green.
+
+---
+
+## Self-review of plan
+
+**Spec coverage check** (matched to `v0.1-checklist.md` + `v0.1-ui-hardening.md`):
+- Product surface: covered by recon (already shipped) + Task 4.1 (verify + tick).
+- First-run onboarding: Task 1.1 (table) + Task 1.2 (commands) + Task 2.1 (gate) + Task 2.2 (test prompt + recovery) + Task 2.4 (Help section) — all 6 sub-items addressed.
+- Release artefacts: Task 3.1 (CHANGELOG) + Task 3.2 (release notes) + Task 3.4 (README) + Task 3.5 (warnings doc) + Task 3.6 (AppImage SHA) + Task 3.7 (version sync + npm pin). Code-signing → Task 4.1 human-required.
+- Documentation: Task 3.3 (privacy page) + Task 3.4 (README link) — known-limitations + how-built already exist.
+- UI acceptance: Tasks 1.3 + 2.3 + 2.5 + 2.6 + 2.7 + 2.8 + 2.9 — all 13 checklist sub-items addressed.
+- Quality gates: Task 5.1 — all 8 gates run.
+- Trust + security: already verified by recon (Task 4.1 ticks).
+- Release-blocker resolution: Task 4.1 documents RB-08 + KI-02 + KI-03 as human decisions.
+- Supported platforms + smoke matrix: Task 4.1 documents as human-required.
+- Activation metrics: Task 1.1 (table) + Task 3.9 (UI surface) + Task 4.1 documents the human measurement.

+**Placeholder scan:** none. Every task has concrete files, brief, gate. The Apple-ID / Windows-cert items live in Tier 4 deliberately as documented residual.
+
+**Type-consistency check:** `record_onboarding_event` / `list_onboarding_events` / `has_completed_onboarding` / `record_lumotia_event` / `list_lumotia_events` / `clear_lumotia_events` are used identically across Tasks 1.2, 2.1, 2.3, 2.4, 3.9. `StatusPill` props (`status: Status; label?: string`) are used identically across Tasks 1.3, 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 2.8.

+
+## Execution model
+
+Subagent-Driven mode: each task is dispatched to a fresh sonnet subagent with a self-contained brief lifted from the task body above. The dispatcher (this main session) verifies the work between tasks via:
+
+- Re-running the gate the task brief specified (e.g. `cargo test -p lumotia-storage` after Task 1.1)
+- Spot-reading the changed files
+- Confirming no regression in the global gates set
+
+Tier 1 runs sequentially (Tasks 1.1 → 1.2 → 1.3) because Task 1.2 depends on 1.1's tables and Task 2.x depends on 1.1-1.3 foundations.
+
+Tier 2 fans out: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 can run in parallel batches of 3-4 (avoid touching the same files concurrently — DictationPage.svelte is touched by 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9 so those serialise).
+
+Tier 3 fans out completely: 3.1-3.9 are independent of each other and of Tier 2.
+
+Tier 4 + 5 are end-of-session.
