THE BRIEF:
For the friends beta we need verbal feedback AND technical feedback —
some bugs the user cannot describe but a stack trace can. Built it in
two layers, with Layer 3 deferred until there is real volume.
PRIVACY POSTURE (matches Kon's local-first positioning):
- All capture is to disk only. Nothing is transmitted.
- The manual report bundler shows the user exactly what would be
shared and lets them choose to copy / save it.
- No remote endpoint, no Sentry, no opt-out telemetry.
LAYER 1 — Always-on local capture:
- Rust panic hook (commands/diagnostics.rs::install_panic_hook) writes
each panic to ~/.kon/crashes/<unix-ts>-<short-id>.crash. Captures
thread name, OS/arch, RUST_BACKTRACE state, and the panic info.
Installed before tauri::Builder so it catches setup-time panics too.
- Frontend window.onerror + window.unhandledrejection in
src/routes/+layout.svelte forward to the new log_frontend_error
Tauri command, which inserts into the existing error_log SQLite
table. Best-effort: errors in the error handler itself are swallowed
so logging can never crash the app.
- Existing error_log table (migration v1) is now actually used —
closes the TODO from crates/storage/src/database.rs:409.
LAYER 2 — Manual diagnostic report:
- Settings → About → Diagnostics section: Generate report → Preview →
Copy / Save.
- Report is plain markdown so it pastes cleanly into email, Discord,
GitHub issues. Sections: app version + OS, sanitised settings JSON,
recent error_log rows, last 5 crash dumps with previews, log file
tail (8KB).
- Preview is shown in a <details> with the full text the user can
inspect before deciding to share.
- Save writes to ~/.kon/diagnostic-reports/kon-diagnostic-<ts>.md.
NEW FILES:
- src-tauri/src/commands/diagnostics.rs (panic hook + 5 Tauri commands)
CHANGES:
- crates/storage/src/file_storage.rs: crashes_dir() + logs_dir() helpers
- crates/storage/src/database.rs: ErrorLogRow + list_recent_errors()
- crates/storage/src/lib.rs: re-exports
- src-tauri/src/commands/mod.rs: + diagnostics module
- src-tauri/src/lib.rs: install_panic_hook() before Builder; 5 new
Tauri commands registered (log_frontend_error,
list_recent_errors_command, list_crash_files,
generate_diagnostic_report, save_diagnostic_report)
- src/routes/+layout.svelte: installGlobalErrorCapture() at mount
- src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte: diagnostic state + buttons +
preview block at the end of the About section
cargo check -p kon-storage clean. Settings.svelte if/each balanced.
LAYER 3 (deferred):
- Optional opt-in remote reporting (self-hosted Sentry on Tartarus or
similar). Not for friends beta. Open up after volume justifies it.
Finally exposes the canonical SQLite store to the frontend. Previously
the transcript/task tables existed but no Tauri command read or wrote
them — the UI lived entirely in localStorage. Closes that gap and adds
the missing commands flagged by both Codex and architecture-review.md
§13.
MIGRATIONS:
- v2 adds:
- transcripts_fts virtual table (FTS5, porter+unicode61 tokeniser,
diacritics-folded) backed by transcripts via content_rowid
- INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers keep FTS in sync automatically
- dictionary table for custom vocabulary (term, note, created_at)
- Append-only as required; never modifies v1
STORAGE FUNCTIONS (crates/storage/src/database.rs):
- list_transcripts_paged(limit, offset) — pagination
- count_transcripts() — for "showing X of N" in UI
- update_transcript(id, text?, title?) — closes the historic
architecture-review.md §13 rename-never-persists TODO
- search_transcripts(query, limit) — FTS5 wrapper
- list_dictionary / add_dictionary_entry / delete_dictionary_entry
- DictionaryEntry struct exported
TAURI COMMANDS (src-tauri/src/commands/transcripts.rs new file):
- add_transcript, list_transcripts, count_transcripts_command,
get_transcript, update_transcript, delete_transcript,
search_transcripts
- list_dictionary_command, add_dictionary_entry_command,
delete_dictionary_entry_command
- TranscriptDto + DictionaryDto for camelCase frontend serialisation
REGISTRATION (src-tauri/src/lib.rs):
- All 10 new commands wired into the invoke_handler
cargo check -p kon-storage passes clean. The Tauri crate cargo check
still requires `sudo dnf install cmake clang-devel` for whisper-rs-sys
(pre-existing infra dep, unrelated to this work).
NEXT (still in this sprint):
- Wire DictationPage / FilesPage to call add_transcript on every save
(dual-write: keep localStorage for now, add SQLite alongside)
- Wire HistoryPage rename to call update_transcript (fixes the TODO)
- Add a History search input that calls search_transcripts
- Add Settings → Dictionary panel
- Inject dictionary terms into the LLM cleanup prompt
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).

- 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

- New copy_to_clipboard Tauri command using arboard 3.6
- Replaced all 5 navigator.clipboard.writeText() calls across
DictationPage, HistoryPage, FilesPage, and viewer with invoke()
- Native clipboard access independent of WebView permissions
