Settings → Vocabulary gets a "Bulk add from a list…" disclosure under the
single-term row. Expanding reveals a textarea; paste newline- or
comma-separated terms, hit Import, and the page loops addTerm for each
entry the active profile doesn't already have.
Dedupes case-insensitively against the existing term list so pasting the
same block twice is a no-op. Skipped + failed counts surface via toast;
persistent errors (any failing term) also land in vocabularyError so the
inline panel explains what went wrong.
Covers OpenWhispr issue #460 — one-at-a-time entry becomes friction past
roughly ten terms. No backend changes; addTerm is already in profilesStore.

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.

initI18n (src/lib/i18n/index.ts) registers three locales and picks the
initial one in order: kon_locale in localStorage > navigator.language short
code > en. +layout.svelte calls it once at app boot; guarded so per-window
re-init is a no-op.
Locale files are deliberately sparse — this is a scaffolding pass so strings
can be migrated incrementally. The Settings → Appearance → Language picker
plus its own description is the first real consumer; everything else
continues to render as hardcoded text until extracted.
Also: split the @chenglou/pretext ambient shim into src/lib/shims.d.ts. The
declaration previously lived in app.d.ts alongside a top-level `export {}`,
which made app.d.ts a module — scoping `declare module` to its own imports
and breaking resolution from src/lib/utils/textMeasure.ts. The fresh
.svelte-kit sync triggered by installing svelte-i18n surfaced it. Ambient
shim files must stay script-scoped (no top-level imports/exports).

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.

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)

Second dogfood sprint. Headline fix: Linux now uses native KWin/Mutter
decorations instead of fragile frameless `startResizeDragging`, which
collapsed diagonal corner resize to a single axis and made drag feel
laggy. macOS / Windows keep custom chrome via `useCustomChrome` gate.
Other changes:
- Cross-window preferences sync via `kon:preferences-changed` Tauri
event — theme and font changes propagate live to float/viewer.
- Hotkey recorder rewritten to use capture-phase document listener
gated by $effect; button focus was unreliable in webkit2gtk.
- History page redesigned for cognitive-load hygiene: title-first
compact row, inline title input, Edit popout opening /viewer in
edit mode, clipboard export as .md with YAML frontmatter, manual
tag chips + + Add tag input, header tag filter (cap 7), global
Starred filter, `tag:xyz` search syntax.
- `deriveAutoTags` kept as empty hook for post-Task-7 LLM topic tags;
research found all previous auto-tag chips redundant with row UI.
- Viewer window adds edit mode with debounced-save textarea; native
title renamed to "Kon - Transcription Editor".
- Window minimums updated per GNOME HIG + WCAG reflow research:
main 960x600, float 360x480, editor 560x520.
- Microphone picker filters raw ALSA strings (hw:, plughw:, front:,
sysdefault:, null) and dedupes by CARD=X. New `description` field
on DeviceInfo reads /proc/asound/cards so Blue Yeti shows as "Blue
Microphones" instead of the short "Microphones" card name.
- GPU reporting fixed: get_runtime_capabilities now returns
accelerators=[cpu,vulkan] and whisper.supports_gpu=true, matching
the transcribe-rs whisper-vulkan feature linked unconditionally.
- ResizeHandles kept for macOS/Windows frameless: 12px edges, 20px
corners via CSS vars, pointerdown + setPointerCapture, corners
above edges in z-order, rendered as sibling (not child) of the
animated layout root so `position: fixed` is viewport-relative.
- Dueling drag-region handlers removed — `data-tauri-drag-region` and
manual `startDragging()` were stacked on the same elements; kept
the manual handler which has the button/input early-return logic.

Replacing the preferences object (spread reassignment) caused all consumers'
prefs references to go stale — the loop guard read the old value forever.
Svelte 5 shared state pattern requires a stable const object with property
mutations, not reassignment. Also removes duplicate theme sync $effect from
SettingsPage (already handled in +layout.svelte).
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.
VOCABULARY PANEL (Day 5):
src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte gains a new collapsible "Vocabulary"
section between Audio and Transcription. Wires the dictionary commands
shipped in 1cce567:
- list_dictionary_command on mount + onfocus refresh
- add_dictionary_entry_command (term + optional note)
- delete_dictionary_entry_command
- Inline error feedback via vocabularyError
- Empty-state copy + per-entry remove button with aria-label
The dictionary terms are intended to be injected into the LLM cleanup
prompt so the model preserves user-specific vocabulary (medication
names, place names, jargon, names of people in the user's support
network — particularly important for the ND audience). The LLM client
itself is currently a stub (crates/ai-formatting/src/llm_client.rs);
when it lands, it can import list_dictionary from kon_storage and
inject terms into the prompt suffix.
WAYLAND SELF-RELAUNCH (Day 6):
src-tauri/src/lib.rs gains ensure_x11_on_wayland() which runs before
tauri::Builder. On Linux Wayland sessions (XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland) it
sets GDK_BACKEND=x11, WINIT_UNIX_BACKEND=x11, and
WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 — the env vars HANDOVER.md documents
the user manually prefixing.
Drops the "users have to remember the env-var prefix" friction.
Idempotent: existing values are respected. Inspired by Open-Whispr's
Chromium --ozone-platform=x11 self-relaunch.
Compile-checked: cargo check -p kon-storage clean. Settings.svelte
$state / #if balanced (28 state, 34/34 if/endif).
NEXT: Phase 6 — dogfooding readiness doc with Jake test instructions.
Day 1 of the upgrade plan (output/reports/kon-upgrade-plan-2026-04-17.md
in the CORBEL workspace). Fixes the HANDOVER.md blocker: native live
transcription was capturing silence because PulseAudio/PipeWire monitor
sources (speaker loopback) were winning the device-selection race —
they deliver zero-valued bytes that satisfied the original
"any device that produces data within 350ms" check.
WHAT CHANGED:
crates/audio/src/capture.rs (rewrite):
- New `DeviceInfo` struct (serde-derived) for the Settings device picker
- New `MicrophoneCapture::list_devices()` enumerates inputs with metadata
- New `MicrophoneCapture::start_with_device(name)` for explicit selection
- Refactored `start()` with monitor-source filtering by name pattern
(.monitor suffix, "Monitor of " prefix, "loopback" substring) and
RMS-energy validation in a 350ms window
- Two-pass selection: real inputs first, monitor sources only as
last-resort fallback with explicit warning log
- Drop counter (Arc<AtomicU64>) tracks chunks dropped by `try_send`
failure under load — Codex review caught this as a silent-failure risk
- `dropped_chunks()` accessor for the live session
- Verbose tracing at every step for diagnosis
- Unit test for monitor-name detection
- `cargo check -p kon-audio` passes clean
crates/audio/src/lib.rs:
- Re-export `DeviceInfo`
crates/audio/Cargo.toml:
- Add serde dependency (for DeviceInfo derives)
src-tauri/src/commands/audio.rs:
- New `list_audio_devices` Tauri command (returns Vec<DeviceInfo>)
src-tauri/src/lib.rs:
- Register `list_audio_devices` in invoke_handler
src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte:
- New "Audio" section with microphone picker dropdown
- Auto-populates on mount via `list_audio_devices`
- Refresh button + clear messaging about monitor sources
- Likely-monitor entries marked disabled in the dropdown
- Auto mode is the default (empty string in settings.microphoneDevice)
src/lib/stores/page.svelte.js:
- New `microphoneDevice` field in defaults (empty = auto-select)
NEXT STEPS (per the upgrade plan):
- Wire `microphoneDevice` from settings into `MicrophoneCapture::start_with_device`
in the live and standalone capture paths (currently both still call
the auto-selecting `start()`)
- Test on real hardware (Wayland + multiple input devices)
- Codex sanity-check of this diff is running in parallel; addendum to
follow if anything substantive comes back

- Consolidated 7 separate Card components into a single Card with 8 accordion sections
- Added openSection $state variable; 'transcription' open by default, others collapsed
- Each section header is a clickable button with +/− indicator; clicking open section closes it
- Section headings use font-display italic 18px (vs 26px page title) as accordion headers
- All existing functionality preserved: toggles, dropdowns, model download/load, profiles, templates, hotkey recorder, output folder picker
- Profiles & Templates remain as nested accordion-within-accordion (existing pattern kept)

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
