Previously the bulk import ran new Set(...) on raw trimmed strings
before lowercasing, so 'ACME' and 'acme' both survived the first
dedupe pass. Neither existed in the store, so both got added —
defeating the commit message's claim that pasting the same block
twice with different casing is a no-op.
Collapse case variants at the initial dedupe step using a lowercase
seen-set, keeping the first occurrence's casing as written.

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
