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.

The invisible z-40 overlay was still eating pointer events across the
main content. Removed the backdrop — sidebar now floats without blocking
anything. Close with Escape key.

The full-screen backdrop (fixed inset-0 z-40) was eating all pointer
events, making the app unusable when the task sidebar was open. Replace
with a backdrop that only covers the content area (not titlebar) and
sits beside the sidebar rather than wrapping it.

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).

- 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

- Backdrop tint div has direct onclick to close sidebar
- Sidebar panel uses stopPropagation so clicks inside don't close
- Outer container uses target check for self-click dismiss
- Svelte 5 compatible (no |self modifier)

TaskSidebar:
- Changed from flex layout member to fixed overlay with backdrop
- Click backdrop or press Escape to close
- Content no longer shrinks when sidebar opens — buttons stay accessible
- Positioned at z-50 over main content, top offset for titlebar
Settings — Parakeet model management:
- Added Parakeet model state: download, check, load status
- New downloadParakeet() and loadParakeet() functions
- Listens for parakeet-download-progress events
- Parakeet section shows download/load/status controls
Settings — conditional engine sections:
- Whisper model selector only shows when engine === "whisper"
- Parakeet model controls only show when engine === "parakeet"
- Cleaner UI — only active engine's options visible

Float window fixes:
- Root layout now detects /float and /viewer URLs and hides Sidebar,
Titlebar, TaskSidebar for secondary windows. Belt-and-braces fix
since +layout@.svelte should handle this but may not in SPA mode.
- Float window title: "Ramble - To-do" → "Kon - To-do"
Transcription doubling guard:
- Added chunk_id deduplication set in DictationPage — if a chunk_id
has already been processed, skip the duplicate result
- Set cleared on each new recording session

- New probe_system command: returns RAM, CPU, OS info
- New rank_models command: scores models against detected hardware
- FirstRunPage.svelte: hardware summary, ranked model list with
"Recommended" badge on top pick, download progress bar, skip option
- First-run detection in layout: checks list_models + list_parakeet_models,
shows wizard if both empty
- Sidebar hidden during first-run for clean wizard experience
- clippy clean
