2026-04-22 review MINORs and NITs:
- crates/core/src/providers.rs: delete entire module. SpeechToText /
TextProcessor / ProviderRegistry were forward-looking traits that
never got wired — the Transcriber trait in kon-transcription
(A.2 #13) has since superseded SpeechToText, and the Registry
pattern was redundant against LocalEngine. Keeping them as dead
public surface signalled future direction that is no longer
accurate.
- crates/core/src/types.rs: delete TranscriptMetadata. Forward-
looking struct with an unfulfilled TODO; storage has evolved
independently through v7/v8 migrations without adopting it.
- crates/ai-formatting/src/llm_client.rs: remove #[allow(dead_code)]
from CLEANUP_PROMPT and format_dictionary_suffix. Both are
actively called; the suppressions would hide future genuine
dead-code warnings in this regression-sensitive prompt file.
- src-tauri/src/commands/live.rs: remove #[allow(dead_code)] from
LiveStatusMessage. Every variant (Warning, Overload, Error,
Finished) is constructed in the module today.
- README.md: update kon-transcription row from "SpeechToText
trait" to "Transcriber trait" and mention the new streaming/
module.
Workspace test gate green (225 lib tests across all crates).
Extends hardware::CpuInfo with a CpuFeatures struct populated via
std::is_x86_feature_detected! on x86_64 and an architectural
assumption for aarch64 (NEON). Adds has_ggml_baseline() so callers
can cheaply ask 'will whisper.cpp / llama.cpp ship a fast path on
this CPU?' without knowing the arch-specific rule.
The point of #7 is giving the runtime a way to surface a clear
"non-AVX2 fallback" warning before the user hits a wall of silent
slowness. The banner itself ships in the next commit as part of
get_runtime_capabilities (item #1). Tests cover the baseline helper
on both x86 and non-x86 targets.

QC smoke sweep flagged two clippy -D warnings lints in code this branch
introduced:
- crates/core/src/process_watch.rs — collapsible_if on the meeting-pattern
match loop, merged the two conditions with &&.
- crates/mcp/src/lib.rs — let-else on the id unwrap that short-circuits a
notification, switched to ? since handle_message already returns Option.
All other clippy lints under -D warnings (audio/capture, hotkey/linux,
storage/file_storage, diagnostics, the duplicate-detection helpers in
live.rs) predate this branch and are out of scope.

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.

Parakeet-TDT scores 85 on any GPU-equipped English-capable system (Instant
speed + Great accuracy + GPU boost + headroom) vs ~75 for the best distilled
Whisper. A new test in recommendation.rs locks this in so future scoring
tweaks don't silently regress it.
FirstRunPage previously stored settings.modelSize by title-casing a lowercased
alias — which worked for Tiny/Base/Small/Medium but produced
"Whisper-distil-small-en" for the new distil ids. Swap to an id→label map
and pass the raw model id through to download_model/load_model; the backend
already accepts full ids via the whisper_model_id fallback.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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.

The CTC model (onnx-community/parakeet-ctc-0.6b-ONNX) only has an encoder
— no decoder_joint or nemo128 preprocessor. transcribe-rs expects a TDT
transducer variant with all three. Switch to istupakov/parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v2-onnx
which has the correct int8 files.

Add kon-hotkey crate with evdev-based global hotkey capture that works on
Wayland (and X11). Patterns from whisper-overlay: per-device async listeners,
inotify hotplug with udev permission retry, watch channel for live config
updates. Frontend detects Wayland at startup and selects evdev or
tauri-plugin-global-shortcut automatically.
Model downloads now support HTTP Range resume for interrupted downloads and
optional SHA256 integrity verification (incremental, no second pass).

- Share single System::new_all() in probe_system() instead of calling it twice
- Rename CpuInfo::core_count to logical_processors (sys.cpus().len() returns logical, not physical)
- Add fallback arm to probe_os() for unsupported cfg targets
- Add serde::Serialize to KonError for structured frontend error reporting
- Annotate dead code (ProviderRegistry, TranscriptMetadata) with #[allow(dead_code)] + TODO comments
- Update downstream references in recommendation tests and tauri hardware command
