Closes Phase 3 of the 2026-04-23 feature-complete roadmap. Incorporates
the Codex plan-review fixes from this session: profile-free index, tri-
state update command, and de-prioritise-not-hide semantics.
Storage (kon-storage):
- Migration v11 adds `energy TEXT` to `tasks` with a CHECK constraint on
`high | medium | brain_dead | NULL`. Index `(energy, created_at DESC)`
— deliberately not per-profile because the tasks table carries no
profile_id column yet (tracked as a separate gap in HANDOVER).
- `TaskRow.energy: Option<String>` plus `task_row_from` read.
- `insert_task` signature grows by one optional arg (`energy`). Allowed
`too_many_arguments` with a rationale comment — the positional shape
matches the column order and flipping to a params struct would have
rippled through every caller for cosmetic benefit only.
- New `set_task_energy(pool, id, Option<&str>) -> TaskRow`. Lives as its
own function because `update_task` uses COALESCE to let `None` mean
"preserve" — which would make clearing the tag impossible.
- Two new tests: round-trip including explicit NULL clear, and CHECK
constraint rejection of unknown values.
- Tests updated for the v10 → v11 version bump.
Tauri (src-tauri):
- `TaskDto.energy`. `CreateTaskRequest.energy` (optional). Inline
validation against the allowed set before hitting the DB, so frontend
bugs surface as friendly errors instead of CHECK-constraint failures.
- New `set_task_energy_cmd` command mirroring the storage tri-state API.
Frontend (svelte):
- `EnergyLevel` type added to `types/app.ts`. `TaskDto`, `TaskEntry`, and
`TaskDraft` grow an `energy` field.
- `SettingsState.currentEnergy` (persisted) + `matchMyEnergy` (persisted
toggle). Defaults: null + false — no surface change until user opts in.
- `setTaskEnergy(id, EnergyLevel | null)` action on the task store.
Calls the dedicated Tauri command, updates local state, broadcasts to
sibling windows.
- `EnergyChip.svelte` — new component. Cycles unset → High → Medium →
Brain-Dead → unset on click. Colour tokens: accent / warning /
text-tertiary (deliberately not danger-red for Brain-Dead — the brief
is explicit that this state must not feel pathologised).
- Chip rendered on every task row in TasksPage and every row in
WipTaskList. Hidden-until-hover when energy is unset so untagged rows
stay calm; always visible once tagged because the colour is the signal.
- Tasks page header gains a "I feel" segmented control and a
"Match my energy" toggle. When both are active, matching tasks sort
to the top — unset tasks are treated as Medium-equivalent. Nothing is
ever hidden; this is a de-prioritisation, not a filter.
Deferred / out of scope:
- LLM-driven surfacing (brief says "The AI surfaces...") — deterministic
client-side sort is v1; LLM layer is a later phase.
- tasks.profile_id + per-profile energy sort — separate migration.
All green: cargo build + 251 tests + clippy -D warnings (0 warnings)
+ fmt + svelte-check (0/0) + npm run build.
Two new Settings → AI knobs that compose cleanly with what already
shipped (aiTier, LLM model, translator prompt framing).
**B.1 #15 — Named cleanup presets.** LlmPromptPreset enum
(Default / Email / Notes / Code) appends a short context hint onto
the CLEANUP_PROMPT just before generation. Presets shape tone and
structure ("email paragraph", "bulleted meeting notes", "preserve
technical terms") without licensing the content-editing the
translator-not-editor framing forbids. cleanup_transcript_text_cmd
now takes `preset: Option<String>` which runs through the new
LlmPromptPreset::parse (normalises aliases like "meeting-notes",
collapses unknown values to Default).
**A.1 #28 — Sequential-GPU guard.** New LocalEngine::unload drops
the backend + model_id so a subsequent load actually reclaims VRAM.
load_llm_model, load_model, and load_parakeet_model Tauri commands
grow an optional `concurrent: bool` argument. When concurrent is
Some(false), loading LLM first unloads whisper+parakeet, and vice
versa — prevents VRAM OOM on tight-VRAM setups. Default is the
previous parallel behaviour so nothing changes for multi-GB cards.
Transcribe-in-progress paths (transcribe_pcm, transcribe_file, live)
pass None, so mid-dictation model loads don't accidentally tear
down the LLM.
Settings UI (AI section):
- Cleanup preset segmented button + descriptive copy for each option.
- GPU concurrency segmented button with explicit trade-off text
("faster transitions vs fits in tight VRAM").
Frontend wiring:
- settings.llmPromptPreset flows from DictationPage's
cleanupTranscriptIfEnabled into the Tauri command.
- settings.aiGpuConcurrency flows from both DictationPage (auto-load
on record) and SettingsPage (manual load/unload buttons) as
`concurrent: "parallel" === true` to the load commands.
Tests: three new preset cases in crates/ai-formatting/src/llm_client.rs
(parse aliases, suffix non-empty for non-default, default suffix
empty). All 139 existing lib tests still pass.

Hands-off feedback for recording lifecycle: a short C5 pitch at
record start, a falling G4 at record stop, and a staggered C5–E5–G5
major third when the finalise flow completes. Synthesised at runtime
via the Web Audio API (OscillatorNode + linear-ramped GainNode
envelope) rather than shipping WAV assets — keeps the binary size
flat and lets us tweak timbre without touching bundled files.
Off by default. Settings → Output exposes the toggle with a volume
slider (0–100%, default 15%) and a "Test" button that plays the
completion cue so the user can confirm loudness without recording.
Hooked at three call sites in DictationPage:
- playStartCue after page.recording = true in startRecording
- playStopCue at the top of stopRecording
- playCompleteCue just before `saved = true` at the end of
finaliseTranscription's transcript-present branch
All three no-op when settings.soundCues is false. The Web Audio
context is lazily constructed on first cue (most browsers suspend
it until a user gesture — Tauri's webview inherits that). If the
AudioContext can't be built we silently drop the cue rather than
throwing.

Ported the best bits of OpenWhispr's TranscriptionPreviewOverlay into Kon's
window conventions. Off by default — toggle in Settings → Output → "Floating
preview when Kon is unfocused". Opens only when the main window isn't
focused at the start of a recording, so it never adds noise when the user
can already see the transcript in the main surface.
Phase state machine (src/routes/preview/+page.svelte):
- listening — pulsing dot, no text yet
- live — animated bars + streaming raw Whisper output
- cleanup — accent bars while the LLM cleanup pass runs
- final — checkmark + formatted text + 4s auto-hide
Data plumbing: raw segment text is captured before post_process_segments in
live.rs (new raw_text field on LiveResultMessage) and in transcription.rs
(new raw_text in the transcription-result payload). DictationPage forwards
raw_text to the overlay via Tauri global events — preview-listening on
start, preview-append per chunk, preview-cleanup before the LLM pass,
preview-final with the formatted text, preview-hide when a run produced no
transcript (empty recording / cancel).
Window is always_on_top, skip_taskbar, focused=false so it never steals
focus from whatever the user is dictating into. open_preview_window shows
an existing hidden preview or builds it fresh; close_preview_window hides
without destroying so the next open is instant.

Default off. When on, the layout polls detect_meeting_processes every 15s
with the user's app-name patterns. On a fresh match (edge-triggered — no
re-toast until the app goes away and comes back) we fire a reminder toast
that tells the user which meeting app appeared and their global hotkey. We
never start recording on this signal; the ideology rule says the user
decides. The signal is a single channel: process list match only — no mic
activity heuristic, no calendar.
Backend adds kon_core::process_watch::{list_running_process_names,
match_meeting_patterns} over sysinfo, exposed to the frontend as the
detect_meeting_processes Tauri command.
Settings ships two new fields — meetingAutoCapture (bool) and
meetingAutoCaptureApps (string[]) — with a comma-separated input in the
Output section. Default app list is ["zoom", "teams"], user-editable.

Adds an opt-in "auto-paste into focused window" toggle. When enabled, the
dictation pipeline sets the clipboard and then sends a Ctrl+V / Cmd+V
keystroke to whatever window currently has focus — the common case after a
global-hotkey dictation, since Kon's own window never stole focus.
Backend (src-tauri/src/commands/paste.rs) probes for a platform paste tool
and falls back cleanly:
- Linux Wayland: wtype > ydotool > xdotool
- Linux X11: xdotool > ydotool > wtype
- macOS: osascript System Events keystroke
- Windows: PowerShell WScript.Shell SendKeys
detect_paste_backends is a pure probe used by Settings to describe the
available backend next to the toggle (or nudge the user to install one).
paste_text always copies first, so auto-paste failure degrades to the
existing clipboard-only behaviour and surfaces a warn toast.

Two new registry entries (crates/core/src/model_registry.rs):
- whisper-distil-small-en — 336 MB, ~6× faster than whisper-small-en
- whisper-distil-large-v3 — 1.55 GB, near large-v3 accuracy at medium size
Both are whisper.cpp-compatible GGML binaries hosted on HF by the
distil-whisper org; no runtime change, just wider model choice. English-only
by design (matches upstream Distil-Whisper).
The Settings model picker widens to six options — Tiny, Base, Small,
Distil-S, Medium, Distil-L — ordered roughly by accuracy. Download/load
commands now take the resolved model id (whisper-distil-*) instead of the
lowercased label, so the frontend owns the label↔id mapping.

kon-llm now owns a real LlamaBackend + LlamaModel, with three Qwen3 tiers
(1.7B Q4, 4B-Instruct-2507 Q4, 14B Q5) selectable per hardware. Downloads
are resumable with SHA-256 verification and stored under ~/.kon/models/llm.
Engine exposes three high-level surfaces — all greedy/temp-0, GBNF-constrained
where output shape matters:
- cleanup_text (prompt-injection-hardened system prompt; profile terms
appended as "preserve these spellings" suffix)
- decompose_task (3–7 micro-steps, constrained JSON array)
- extract_tasks (optional-array; empty when no explicit commitments)
post_process_segments now takes an Option<&LlmEngine> and, when loaded and
format_mode != Raw, joins segments → cleanup → replaces segments with the
cleaned text (first segment span). Rule-based path still runs first; LLM
errors log and keep rule-based output.
Tauri commands: recommend_llm_tier, check_llm_model, download_llm_model,
load_llm_model, unload_llm_model, delete_llm_model, get_llm_status,
cleanup_transcript_text_cmd, extract_tasks_from_transcript_cmd,
decompose_and_store (LLM-backed subtasks).
Settings: AI tier toggle (off / cleanup / tasks), model picker with
downloaded/loaded status, download progress events via
kon:llm-download-progress.
Dictation: ensureLlmModelLoaded on mount, cleanupTranscriptIfEnabled after
stop when tier != off and format_mode != Raw, LLM task extraction when
tier=tasks (regex fallback on failure).
Interim: both llama-cpp-sys-2 and whisper-rs-sys statically link their own
ggml, so src-tauri/build.rs emits -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition on Linux.
Replace with a system-ggml shared-lib setup as a follow-up.

Major quality pass on top of Phase 2. Five substantive changes plus
cross-cutting touches across audio, hotkey, transcription, and Tauri
command layers.
Transcription quality
- Long-audio chunking in commands/transcription.rs: Parakeet and large
file transcription now chunk-and-recompose with overlap trimming, so
the live-path chunking advantage extends to file-based workflows.
- Stateful live speech gate in commands/live.rs on top of the earlier
duplicate-boundary filtering — distinguishes start-of-speech from
mid-speech and holds state across chunks.
Auto-learning corrections
- New crates/ai-formatting/src/correction_learning.rs: extracts user
text corrections from viewer edits and proposes additions to the
active profile's vocabulary.
- src-tauri/src/commands/profiles.rs bridge for frontend-driven
confirmation of learned terms.
- src/routes/viewer/+page.svelte hooks the learning path into the
segment-edit flow so corrections feed profile_terms without a
separate 'train this profile' UX.
Transcript profile provenance
- Migration v8 (crates/storage/src/migrations.rs) adds profile_id to
transcripts, defaulting to DEFAULT_PROFILE_ID so existing rows stay
valid.
- crates/storage/src/database.rs: TranscriptRow + CRUD carry profile_id.
- src-tauri/src/commands/transcripts.rs: add_transcript accepts and
persists profile_id.
- DictationPage.svelte + FilesPage.svelte send activeProfileId on
capture so learned corrections are attributed to the right profile.
Cleanup prompt contract
- crates/ai-formatting/src/llm_client.rs hardened: the CLEANUP_PROMPT
now specifies concrete do/do-not rules, ready for a real model-backed
cleanup pass. The llm_client is still a stub — kon-llm remains unwired
— but the prompt shape is final.
Cross-cutting polish
- Minor touches in audio (capture/decode/resample), hotkey (lib/linux/stub),
core, transcription (concurrency/model_manager/local_engine/whisper_rs),
and the rest of src-tauri/src/commands/*: error-path tightening, log
clarity, TS-migration follow-ups (@ts-nocheck additions for incremental
typing).
Verified locally: npm run check, cargo test -p kon-ai-formatting,
cargo test -p kon-storage, cargo test -p kon --lib commands::live::tests,
cargo check — all green.
Scope boundary: kon-llm crate is still a stub; task extraction remains
rule-based. Bundled local-LLM runtime is the next clean step and is not
in this commit.

Wholesale JS -> TS migration of the frontend — stores, utils, actions,
and all Svelte component scripts adopt type annotations. Compile-time
surfaces (app.d.ts, lib/types/) added for shared DTO types.
Build plumbing:
- package.json: dev:frontend script that runs svelte-kit sync first
- tauri.conf.json: beforeDevCommand points at dev:frontend
- run.sh: dropped the sed-hack that temporarily blanked beforeDevCommand;
now relies on npm run dev:frontend to avoid double-Vite
- jsconfig.json: allowImportingTsExtensions
Preserves all Group 1 behaviour:
- page.svelte.ts keeps loadHistory / loadTasks Tauri-first, no
localStorage; saveTranscriptMeta + mapTranscriptRow + mapTaskRow
intact; update_task_cmd and update_transcript_meta_cmd invocations
carry the correct payload shape.
- Toasts, preferences stores typed without behaviour change.
- Viewer still routes segment edits through saveTranscriptMeta; the
Task 1.5 TODO markers are gone.
taskExtractor.ts is functionally improved during the migration:
- multi-task matches in the same sentence
- list-style shopping-verb expansion (get bread, milk, and cheese)
