THE PROBLEM (Codex review + architecture-review.md §1, §14):
Multiple critical paths discard errors silently — `let _ = insert_transcript(...)`,
`.catch(() => {})`, inline `error = ...` state that not every page surfaces. ND
users in particular need explicit feedback when something fails; silent
failure is worse than no feature.
SHIPPED:
src/lib/stores/toasts.svelte.js (new):
- Minimal in-house toast store (~80 lines, no svelte-french-toast dep)
- Severity → palette: info/success → moss, warn → signal, error → ember
- Auto-dismiss durations per severity (success 3s, info 4s, warn 6s,
error sticky)
- `invokeWithToast(invoke, command, args, errorTitle?)` helper wraps a
Tauri invoke and toasts on failure while still throwing for callers
that need to handle the error themselves
src/lib/components/ToastViewport.svelte (new):
- Reads from the toasts store
- Bottom-right stack, max-width clamp on small screens
- aria-live=polite + role=alert on error toasts (screen-reader friendly)
- Slide-in animation honours `html.reduce-motion` for the existing
preferences toggle
- Severity left-border in brand colours via existing CSS variables
src/routes/+layout.svelte:
- Mounts <ToastViewport /> once at the app root so toasts work from any
page or window
src/lib/pages/DictationPage.svelte:
- First error-toast wiring: failures starting recording now show a
sticky toast in addition to the inline `error` panel
- Replaces a previously easy-to-miss failure-mode
NEXT (Day 4 batch):
- Wire toasts into FilesPage, HistoryPage, SettingsPage, ModelDownloader
(all currently swallow errors)
- Add `add_transcript`, `list_transcripts`, `update_transcript` (closes the
long-standing TODO Codex flagged), `delete_transcript` Tauri commands
wrapping the existing storage layer
- Switch addToHistory to dual-write (localStorage + SQLite) so the
canonical store catches up with the actual transcript flow
- FTS5 transcripts_fts virtual table + search command
- Wrap multi-row writes (decompose_and_store) in DB transactions
prevTaskIds was declared as $state, causing the $effect that writes to
it to re-trigger itself infinitely (effect_update_depth_exceeded). The
variable is just a comparison reference — doesn't need to be reactive.
Changed to a plain let.
Also removed debug event loggers and reverted grain z-index.

- Add sidebarCollapsed to settings defaults (persists via localStorage on saveSettings)
- Sidebar collapses to 48px icons-only view with smooth 200ms transition
- Toggle button (chevron) at top of nav; [ keyboard shortcut in layout (input-safe)
- Auto-collapse on window resize below 900px (checked on mount and on resize event)
- Titlebar left spacer tracks sidebar width reactively (48px / 210px)
- All labels, profile selector, status text hidden in collapsed mode; nav items show tooltips via title attribute
