89fdfd461b docs(brief): add reticular activating system appendix 
The RAS is the brainstem network gating which sensory inputs reach
conscious cortical attention, modulated top-down by prefrontal goals.
RAS dysfunction is documented in ADHD, autism spectrum, and the wider
neurodivergent population that is Corbie's beachhead audience.

The appendix maps three RAS failure modes to existing Corbie features:

- Temporal salience gating failure -> time blindness
  -> visual countdown timers, progress rings.
- Arousal escalation failure -> task-initiation freeze
  -> AI micro-steps, just-start timer.
- Suppression failure -> sensory over-distraction
  -> WIP limits, reduce-motion defaults, anticipatory nudges.

Plus the personalisation grant connection: continual on-device
adaptation to user idiolect reduces load on a compromised attention
gate, which is the core value to neurodivergent users beyond raw
accuracy improvement.

Companion CORBEL-Main agent-side doctrine at
stonework/rules/agent-ras-protocol.md frames the same mechanism for
Wren's own context-economy discipline.

7dea5533f7 docs(hardware): file pendant research + NLnet GenAI policy; reconcile roadmap 
Two new docs in docs/hardware/:

- pendant-research-2026-04-27.md — buildable plan for a Corbie-paired
  open-hardware audio capture device. Nordic nRF5340 silicon (LE Audio
  is effectively a Nordic monopoly outside Apple/Samsung), Raytac
  MDBT53-1M pre-cert module to dodge GBP 8-15k EMC chamber bill, drop
  Wi-Fi for USB-MSC sync, single Knowles SPH0645 mic, microSD disguised
  as cassette spool, hardware-locked LED in series with mic V_DD,
  Sifam analogue VU meter, Sony WM-D6C / Nagra E / Playdate / TP-7
  aesthetic. ~GBP 107 BOM at qty 100. Funding sequence: NLnet first
  (deadline 2026/06/01), Corbie waitlist soft pre-orders second,
  Crowd Supply third. 22-month timeline, ~GBP 1,200 founder personal
  capital exposure.

- nlnet-genai-policy.md — verbatim NLnet GenAI policy v1.1 with TL;DR
  and a Corbie-specific compliance plan. Read before drafting any
  NLnet application or doing GenAI-assisted work on a funded milestone.

Roadmap entry under "Post-v0.1 ideas -> Hardware companion" rewritten
to match the compass research. The earlier off-the-cuff Tier-A/Tier-B
sketch (Hailo, Wi-Fi 6, three-mic array) is wrong on most decisions
and is superseded.

Hard discipline: hardware never ships before Corbie software hits
GBP 2k MRR.

fcca6509cc wip(microsteps): B3.3 + B3.10 part 1 — prompts + microstep_patterns schema 
Storage-side scaffolding for B3.3 (granularity prompt variants) and
B3.10 (mastery fade). The user-facing wiring (decompose_and_store
granularity threading, complete_subtask_cmd count bump, MicroSteps
inline prompt + skip-check, Settings UI) is part 2 of this batch.

B3.3 (prompts.rs): three new system-prompt constants
DECOMPOSE_LIGHT_SYSTEM (3 atomic verb-first steps),
DECOMPOSE_DEFAULT_SYSTEM (4-5 balanced steps), DECOMPOSE_DETAILED_SYSTEM
(6-7 with brief context) all preserve the cue-anchored "When [cue],
[action]" framing from PR 1.1. DECOMPOSE_TASK_SYSTEM remains as an
alias of Default for back-compat with existing callers and tests.
4 snapshot tests assert the framing survives across variants and the
alias matches.

B3.10 (storage): migration v18 adds microstep_patterns
(normalized_title PK, sample_title, completed_count, skip_breakdown,
prompted_at) plus an index on completed_count. New storage functions:
normalize_microstep_title (lowercase + whitespace-collapse + trim),
get_microstep_pattern, upsert_microstep_pattern_increment,
set_microstep_pattern_decision. 5 storage tests cover normalisation,
upsert/bump semantics, decision persistence, and the threshold query.

74 storage tests pass (was 69), 9 prompts tests pass (was 5).

423c0caca4 feat(nudges): B3.2 — notifications digest mode 
settings.nudgeMode (Off / Immediate / Digest) replaces the binary
nudgesEnabled toggle in the Settings UI; the field stays in storage
mirrored from nudgeMode for back-compat readers. Digest mode queues
trigger events (deduped by key) into a localStorage-persisted buffer
and delivers them as a single aggregated notification at user-chosen
times of day (1–3 slots). Body shows up to 3 lines with a "...and
N more" truncation tail and honours nudgesSpeakAloud. Switching from
digest to off clears the queue; digest to immediate replays.

2668401104 feat(ux): B3.1 + B3.4 — fresh-start re-entry + MicroStep where-was-I 
B3.1: app shell tracks lastLaunchAt; >7-day gap opens a 24h
fresh-start window. While the window is active: a "Welcome back. This
week starts fresh." banner offers Archive old Inbox (Inbox-only via
archive_old_inbox_cmd, system-attributable copy on success), the
morning-triage modal is suppressed, the momentum sparkline is hidden,
and the nudge bus stays quiet. Banner is per-session dismissable.

B3.4: MicroSteps shows a "Last completed: X. Next: Y." re-orientation
banner when re-opening a parent task whose decomposition has been idle
>=30 min OR sat across a session boundary. Speaker button reads the
banner aloud via existing TTS. Per-parent last-activity timestamps are
persisted to a single localStorage key. Banner self-dismisses on first
interaction.

Shared inFreshStartWindow gate extracted to src/lib/utils/freshStart.ts
so ShutdownRitualPage (B3.14), TasksPage, MorningTriageModal, and
nudgeBus all read the same source of truth.

fc3a56c0dc feat(ux): B3.6 — editable energy labels (global + per-profile) + first-tap prompt 
Settings → Energy: edit global energy labels (label + description per
level) with reset-to-defaults. Per-profile override toggle in the
Profiles section ("Customise for this profile" / "Use global").
EnergyChip and Tasks-page energy controls now resolve labels via
resolveEnergyLabels(profile, settings) — global by default, profile
override when present.

First-time prompt: on first energy-chip tap of the day (per profile)
or first-ever tap to Zero, an inline non-modal prompt asks "What does
Zero mean for you today?" with example chips. Per-day gate via
energyPromptLastShownDate; one-shot first-Zero gate via
energyPromptZeroSeen; Settings escape resets both.

7daf5677c9 feat(ux): B3.5 + B3.14 — sparkline range picker + shutdown copy 
B3.5: settings.sparklineRangeDays (added schema-only in B2b) now drives
the recentCompletions fetch via a reactive effect; new segmented control
in Settings → Tasks lets the user pick 7 / 28 / 90 days. Default 7.

B3.14: /shutdown "Open loops" header softened to "Still here", body
copy updated to remove pressure ("Just naming them helps — nothing to
do here"), truncation tail drops the count. The whole "Still here"
section is now gated by a fresh-start derived flag — when B3.1 lands
and writes reentryFreshStartUntil, this surface auto-suppresses.

e4cbf62a20 feat(storage): B2b — settings/profile schema + templates SQLite persistence 
Settings: 8 new fields (lastLaunchAt, reentryFreshStartUntil,
lastActiveProfileId, microStepGranularity, nudgeMode, nudgeDigestTimes,
sparklineRangeDays, energyLabels) with sane defaults; nudgesEnabled
auto-maps to nudgeMode on first load (true→immediate, false→off).

Profile: optional energyLabelsOverride field on the localStorage
Profile shape — when present, overrides the global energyLabels;
absent/null falls through to settings.energyLabels via the new
resolveEnergyLabels helper.

Templates: migration v17 adds the templates table (id PK, name,
sections JSON, created_at, updated_at). 5 storage CRUD functions
plus import_templates with idempotent duplicate-id handling. 5 Tauri
commands (list/create/update/delete/import) wired and registered.
Frontend store rewired to read from SQLite via list_templates_cmd;
one-time migration imports kon_templates localStorage and clears it
on success. Fresh installs only seed the new {Meeting notes, Daily
check-in} defaults. Existing user templates survive the migration
verbatim.

Test coverage: 5 new Rust tests (CRUD, import idempotency, atomic
failure, updated_at bump, missing-id delete is no-op).

0111fc9e08 feat(tasks): B2a part 2 — task_lists CRUD + archive cmds + frontend wire 
Storage: 5 task_lists CRUD functions (list/create/update/delete/
import) and 4 archive functions (list_archived_tasks/archive_task/
unarchive_task/archive_inbox_older_than). 8 new tests cover CRUD,
import idempotency, atomic-failure rollback, dependent-task null-out,
archive scope, archive_inbox_older_than Inbox-only invariant, and
unarchive round-trip.

Tauri: 9 new commands (5 task_lists + 4 archive) registered in the
invoke_handler. New file commands/task_lists.rs mirroring tasks.rs
structure. TaskDto extended with archived/archivedAt.

Frontend: loadTaskLists rewired to read from SQLite via
list_task_lists_cmd on Tauri runtime, with a one-time migration
that imports kon_task_lists localStorage into SQLite via
import_task_lists_cmd and clears localStorage only on success.
mapTaskRow handles the new archived fields. TasksPage gets an
Archived filter pill (hidden when empty) and a per-row archive
icon. moveTaskList/sortTaskLists kept local pending a future
order-column migration.

954ff22840 feat(tasks): B2a part 1 — archive schema + task_lists scaffolding 
Migration v16 adds tasks.archived (default 0) + tasks.archived_at +
idx_tasks_archived. TaskRow extended with both fields; list_tasks and
list_subtasks default-filter archived rows; complete_subtask_and_check_parent
SELECT lists updated to round-trip the new columns. TaskListRow +
ImportSummary structs land in preparation for the task_lists CRUD
that part 2 wires up. All 61 existing tests still pass.

(SQL splitter is naive about ';' inside -- comments, so the v16
comment block was rewritten to avoid a bare semicolon mid-comment
that the splitter was treating as a statement boundary.)

20adf73b2a fix(dictation): PR 1.4 review polish — banner re-prompt, nav flush, language restore 
- Track draft-handled-this-session flag so Restore/Discard suppresses
  the recovery banner on page-nav round-trips within one session;
  resets cleanly on the next successful save.
- Flush pending autosave in onDestroy so Tauri SPA navigation
  preserves the last <1.5s of input.
- Round-trip language on Restore so a draft captured under one
  language doesn't silently inherit the current setting on revival.

e3292bd597 feat(dictation): PR 1.4 — draft recovery + addToHistory persistence outcome 
addToHistory previously swallowed SQLite write failures with a console
warning while still pushing the entry into the in-memory history store
— a silent data-loss bug, since the row vanished on next restart with
no signal to the user. It now returns { persisted, error }, only mutates
in-memory history after the disk write lands, and the dictation flow
awaits the result so it can surface a "Couldn't save" toast and keep
the user's content intact for a retry. The new dictation autosave
writes transcript + segments to localStorage on a 1.5s debounce, on
every segment boundary, and on visibilitychange/pagehide — covering
both live capture and the stopped-but-unsaved walk-away case. On
DictationPage mount any draft <24h old surfaces an inline
Restore/Discard banner that styles as a peer to the existing error
notices. The draft is cleared only after a successful SQLite write or
explicit Discard/Clear; on persistence failure it stays on disk so the
user can recover on relaunch.

6389fc2ce7 feat(tasks): PR 1.2 — default to Today + WIP Now lane reads filtered set 
Flips the Tasks landing bucket from All to Today so the cold-open answer to
"what should I do now?" is scoped to today's commitments rather than the
full backlog. Refactors WipTaskList to accept a tasks prop instead of
reading the global store, and wires it into TasksPage so the Now lane and
the bucket list below share one filtered set as their source of truth —
the lane consumes the first three top-level rows and the bucket list
excludes those IDs, so no task is ever rendered in both panels.

07925cf360 feat(ux): PR 1.3 — replace 0→100 hover-reveals with calm baseline 
Affordances on MicroSteps rows (thumbs/edit/speaker/just-start) and
transcript-viewer segments (star, copy, delete) used opacity-0 →
opacity-100 on group-hover, which (a) hid them from keyboard users
until focus and (b) violated the "always-visible affordance" line in
the Kon design audit.

Replace with opacity-30 baseline + group-hover:opacity-100 +
focus-visible:opacity-100 (MicroSteps) / focus-within:opacity-100
(viewer, since the actions sit inside an interactive segment row).
Result: affordances are calm but visible at rest, lift on hover or
keyboard focus, never invisible.

HistoryPage was checked — its row checkbox at line 757 is already
opacity-50 → opacity-100 on hover, the pattern this PR is moving
toward, so no change needed there.

6e663a3625 feat(tasks): PR 1.5 — return refreshed subtask + parent from completion 
Change complete_subtask_and_check_parent to return
(TaskRow, Option<TaskRow>): the refreshed subtask, plus the parent when
the cascade auto-completed it. Both rows are read inside the same
transaction so the frontend never observes partial state.

Wrap the cmd in a CompleteSubtaskResult { updatedSubtask,
autoCompletedParent } DTO. MicroSteps now applies the refreshed subtask
locally and, when present, calls a new replaceTaskFromDto helper on the
Tasks store so the parent's done/doneAt/badge counts update without a
follow-up list_tasks_cmd round-trip.

Test: complete_subtask_returns_updated_subtask_and_optional_parent
covers both paths (sibling-pending → None, last-sibling → Some(parent)).
All 61 kon-storage tests pass; svelte-check clean.

0a8cb55447 feat(copy): PR 1.1 — research-grounded copy + prompt corrections 
Add cue-anchored "When [cue], [action]" framing to the task-decomposition
prompt where natural cues are present (Gollwitzer-style implementation
intentions, d=0.65 effect size). Soften Bionic Reading and accessibility-
font copy to honest preference framing per the v3 audit (Strukelj 2024;
Doyon n=2,074). Update timer nudge from "Still on that timer?" (which
read as judgmental) to "Timer's still running." Replace stale Tasks
page header copy promising automatic extraction.

Audio envelopes (focusTimer 20ms ramp, sounds.ts 10ms attack) verified
correct per memo §B; no code change needed.

Map every recommendation in research-grounded-design-principles.md to
Kon's current code state, with two independent axes (alignment +

a15167c44e feat(ux): dogfood pass — onboarding, tasks, LLM chip, float popout 
Bundles a session of dogfood UX feedback plus the two Cursor Bugbot
findings on the auto-titles branch.

Onboarding (FirstRunPage):
- Welcome leads with "Set up automatically"; system breakdown and the
  full model list move behind a "Choose manually" disclosure
- Morning / evening / autostart modal copy trimmed to one short
  sentence each; CTAs shortened
- "Corbie" autostart string reverted to "Kon"
- Already-downloaded models are clickable in the picker so the
  Settings → About → Replay onboarding flow doesn't re-download
- Autostart "No thanks" now does isEnabled() → disable() to actually
  remove the OS login item when replaying after a previous "Yes"

Tasks page:
- Bucket nav (All / Inbox / Today / Soon / Later) now a horizontal
  pill row; was stacking because nav was block-level
- List sidebar sized to content via self-start max-h-full instead of
  stretching to viewport when sparse
- Energy chip surfaces at opacity-60 when unset (was opacity-0,
  hidden until hover) so the affordance is discoverable
- "Brain-Dead" energy label → "Zero" everywhere user-facing; enum
  stays brain_dead to avoid a destructive DB migration

LLM status chip (llmStatus.svelte.ts + Dictation/Settings):
- Chip no longer auto-warms when the engine isn't loaded; it's hidden
  unless ready / generating / loading / error
- refreshLlmStatus takes { force: true } so post-load reconcile clears
  stale "warming"; ambient refreshes still preserve in-flight state
- markError exported; failed loads surface "AI error" with detail
  rather than silently going to off
- check_llm_model is the source of truth (replaces the bool-only
  get_llm_status path in the store)

Float popout window:
- Native decorations off — was stacking two titlebars + two close X's
  on KWin, one of which silently failed
- ResizeHandles mounted outside the animate-float-enter wrapper so
  fixed-position handles anchor to the viewport, not the transformed
  root; secondary-windows capability gains
  core:window:allow-start-resize-dragging for tasks-float
- GTK Utility WindowTypeHint applied pre-map (mirroring the preview
  window) so KWin Wayland honours always-on-top reliably
- visible_on_all_workspaces(true) so the pinned tasks list follows
  workspace switches
- togglePin does hide()+show()+focus() on re-pin to nudge the
  compositor into re-evaluating window state
- Pop-out / Edit / Open viewer buttons hidden on Android via
  isAndroid() — the multi-window Tauri commands stub out there

Build / Bugbot:
- src-tauri Cargo.toml: whisper feature now chains whisper-vulkan, so
  the dev runner's --no-default-features --features whisper
  invocation actually pulls Vulkan acceleration instead of silently
  falling back to CPU-only
- jsconfig.json's inherited "types": ["node"] fixed by adding
  @types/node; corresponding @ts-expect-error in vite.config.js
  removed now that process is a known global

Verification: svelte-check + cargo check pass clean. Manual
device-side validation still pending for float resize and replay
autostart "No thanks" — those are the only remaining confidence items.

ce849a15ab feat(auto-title): auto on save + per-row + bulk in History 
Wire generate_title_cmd into the user-visible flows. Three entry points,
matching the agreed hybrid trigger (auto when conditions are met, plus
on-demand for retroactive titling of old transcripts):

1. Auto on save — addToHistory in src/lib/stores/page.svelte.ts now
   fires `maybeAutoGenerateTitle` fire-and-forget after the SQLite
   write succeeds. Gate: `aiTier !== "off" && formatMode !== "Raw"`,
   piggybacking on the same Settings choice that drives auto-cleanup.
   Per the design principle "Every new setting must earn its mental
   real estate" (README.md:22), no new settings flag. Skipped silently
   when LLM isn't loaded; user retries via the per-row button. Never
   overwrites a title the caller already set.

2. Per-row "Title" button in HistoryPage — mirrors the existing Tag
   button shape exactly (Sparkles icon vs Tag icon). In-flight tracked
   via a `titling: Set<string>` so the same row can't fire twice; the
   row stays disabled with "Titling…" copy while in flight. Persists
   via the existing `renameHistoryEntry` (which already calls
   `update_transcript`) — no need to extend `saveTranscriptMeta`.

3. Bulk "Title all untitled" toolbar action — same shape as
   "Tag all untagged". Filters `history` to entries where
   `!item.title || !item.title.trim()`, iterates with progress
   text, surfaces a success toast at the end with the count actually
   written (not iterated — empty model responses count as skipped).

Visible with no schema changes, no migration: transcripts.title has
been nullable since v1 (migrations.rs:12-29).

Verification:
- `npm run check`: 0 errors, 0 warnings across 3957 files.
- `cargo test --workspace --lib`: 280 passing (was 277; +3 from the
  sanitize_title tests landed in the kon-llm commit).

Together with the prior two commits this closes the "auto-titles"
plan from /home/jake/.claude/plans/delightful-meandering-moth.md.
Out of scope per that plan: settings toggle, regenerate-on-edit,
i18n-locale-matching titles.

be49bc4374 feat(auto-title): generate_title_cmd Tauri wrapper + register 
Bridge LlmEngine::generate_title across the Tauri boundary. Same shape
as the existing extract_content_tags_cmd — `is_loaded` short-circuit so
the frontend can detect the "no model" case without firing a synchronous
inference, then spawn_blocking + PowerAssertion guard for the heavy work.

- src-tauri/src/commands/llm.rs: new generate_title_cmd that wraps
  `state.llm_engine.generate_title(transcript)`. Returns
  Result<String, String> — the engine's own InvalidJson / Inference /
  PromptTooLong errors are stringified at the boundary, same pattern
  as extract_content_tags_cmd at line 408.
- src-tauri/src/lib.rs: register the command in invoke_handler!,
  immediately after extract_content_tags_cmd in the LLM block.

Verified: `cargo check -p kon` passes after a `rm -rf target/.../tauri-*`
to clear stale OUT_DIR paths from the project's pre-rename location
(transcription-app used to live at ~/CORBEL-Projects/kon/). No code
behaviour change from that cleanup — Cargo just needed the cache rebuilt.

The frontend wiring follows in the next commit.

3410d3c586 feat(auto-title): kon-llm prompt + generate_title engine method 
Recorder-style auto-titling for transcripts. Mirrors the Phase 9
content-tags pipeline so the same prompt-injection-hardened pattern,
spawn_blocking discipline, and sanitisation-after-generation shape get
reused; the user-facing surface (auto on save + on-demand button) lands
in a follow-up commit.

- crates/llm/src/prompts.rs: new TRANSCRIPT_TITLE_SYSTEM constant. Same
  injection guard wording as ai-formatting's CLEANUP_PROMPT — dictated
  speech is data, not instructions. Rules constrain output shape: 4-8
  words, Title Case, no quotes, no terminal punctuation, "Untitled"
  fallback for empty input.

- crates/llm/src/lib.rs: LlmEngine::generate_title returns
  Result<String, EngineError>. Mirrors extract_content_tags shape:
  trailing-2000-char UTF-8-boundary truncation, temperature 0,
  max_tokens 24, free-form output (no GBNF — titles are prose, not a
  closed set). Sanitisation runs server-side via the new private
  sanitize_title helper, which handles the real Qwen3 failure modes:
  surrounding curly + ASCII quotes, leading "Title:" prefix, multi-line
  output, trailing "." / "!" / "?", whitespace runs, 100-char cap,
  literal "Untitled" → None. Three unit tests cover composite real-world
  outputs end-to-end. kon-llm test suite goes 15 → 18 passing.

The Tauri wrapper, invoke_handler registration, and frontend wiring
follow in subsequent commits.

*Think out loud. Keep working.* *Think out loud. Keep working.*
Magnotia is a local-first, cognitive-load-aware dictation and task-capture desktop app. Every transcription, LLM cleanup, and task extraction runs on the user's machine. No telemetry, no analytics, no cloud dependency. The app is designed around a single observation: people who think in bursts lose ideas faster than they can type, and the tool's job is to get out of the way.

# Phase 0 — Cartography
*Acquisition-grade audit, Phase 0 deliverable. Date: 2026-04-30. Branch: `claude/rebrand-to-magnotia-UWYkg`.*
This is a survey, not a verdict. It maps what exists, sizes the surface, and flags every place the README disagrees with the code. Phase 1 (lean-pass) and Phase 2 (architecture conformance) consume this as input.
---
## 1. Workspace shape
| Layer | Path | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rust workspace root | `Cargo.toml` | `members = ["src-tauri", "crates/*"]`, `resolver = "2"` |
| Tauri app crate | `src-tauri/` | Library `magnotia_lib` + binary `magnotia` |
| Library crates | `crates/*` (×9) | See §3 |
| MCP standalone binary | `crates/mcp/` | Bin `magnotia-mcp` (separate process from main app) |
| Svelte frontend | `src/` | SvelteKit, Svelte 5 runes, Tailwind 4 |
| Static assets | `static/`, `src-tauri/icons/`, `src-tauri/resources/` | |
**Binaries shipped (2):** `magnotia` (Tauri app), `magnotia-mcp` (stdio MCP server).
---
## 2. Lines of code
| Area | LOC | Files |
|---|---:|---:|
| `crates/` (Rust, all 9 crates) | 13,261 | 52 |
| `src-tauri/` (Rust) | 8,330 | 27 |
| Frontend (Svelte/TS/JS, excl. design-system) | 15,192 | ~80 |
| `src/design-system/` (reference kit, not live code) | 1,412 | — |
| **Total active** | **~36,800** | |
### Largest files (top complexity candidates)
| LOC | File |
|---:|---|
| 2,534 | `crates/storage/src/database.rs` |
| 2,250 | `src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte` |
| 1,737 | `src-tauri/src/commands/live.rs` |
| 1,185 | `crates/storage/src/migrations.rs` |
| 1,081 | `src/lib/pages/DictationPage.svelte` |
| 897 | `src/lib/pages/HistoryPage.svelte` |
| 790 | `src-tauri/src/commands/paste.rs` |

| 725 | `src/lib/pages/TasksPage.svelte` |
| 720 | `src-tauri/src/commands/models.rs` |
| 697 | `src/lib/stores/page.svelte.ts` |
> **Phase 1 candidate.** `database.rs` (2.5k), `SettingsPage.svelte` (2.25k), and `live.rs` (1.7k) are each large enough to deserve a structural review in isolation. HANDOVER.md already flags `SettingsPage` as needing decomposition into 7 progressive-disclosure groups.
---
## 3. Crate inventory
| Crate | LOC | Files | `pub` items (lib.rs / total) | Tests |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| `magnotia-core` | 1,212 | 9 | 10 / 104 | 16 |
| `magnotia-audio` | 1,533 | 8 | 14 / 38 | 14 |
| `magnotia-transcription` | 2,617 | 12 | 13 / 51 | 51 |
| `magnotia-llm` | 1,330 | 6 | 27 / 56 | 17 |
| `magnotia-ai-formatting` | 1,502 | 6 | 9 / 21 | 47 |
| `magnotia-storage` | 3,771 | 4 | 6 / 69 | 60 |
| `magnotia-hotkey` | 632 | 3 | 5 / 14 | 4 |
| `magnotia-cloud-providers` | 80 | 2 | 2 / 3 | 2 |
| `magnotia-mcp` | 584 | 2 | 8 / 8 | 9 |
| `src-tauri` (`magnotia` + `magnotia_lib`) | 8,330 | 27 | n/a | 67 |
| **Total** | **21,591** | | | **287** |
**Outliers worth a Phase-2 look:**
- `magnotia-core` exposes 104 public items — high for a "shared types" crate; likely leakage of internals.
- `magnotia-storage` exposes 69 public items across only 4 files; the file split is suspect (2.5k-line `database.rs`).
- `magnotia-cloud-providers` is 80 LOC and 3 public items — README calls it "empty scaffolding" (verified: just an in-memory keystore + env-var fallback). Either grow it or remove it; it currently earns nothing.
---
## 4. Crate dependency graph
```
magnotia-core ──┬─→ magnotia-audio
├─→ magnotia-transcription
├─→ magnotia-llm ──→ magnotia-ai-formatting
├─→ magnotia-cloud-providers
├─→ magnotia-hotkey
└─→ magnotia-storage ──→ magnotia-mcp
magnotia (src-tauri)
└─→ all 8 library crates (NOT magnotia-mcp — separate binary)
```
**Observations:**
- `magnotia-core` is the workspace floor; nothing depends on it depending on something else. Good.
- DAG is clean — no cycles, no upward dependencies.
- `magnotia-mcp` correctly depends only on `magnotia-storage` (its sole job is to read the SQLite DB). The Tauri app does **not** depend on it, confirming the "separate process" claim in the README.
- `magnotia-ai-formatting` depends on both `core` and `llm`. Reasonable.
> **Phase 2 will verify:** every `pub` item in the leaf crates (`audio`, `transcription`, `llm`, `storage`, `hotkey`) has at least one external consumer. Internal-only items shouldn't be `pub`.
---
## 5. External surfaces
### 5.1 Tauri commands
**102 `#[tauri::command]` attributes** across **22 of 25** modules in `src-tauri/src/commands/`.
- `power.rs` and `security.rs` are utility modules (no commands; helpers only).
- `mod.rs` is the registry.
| Module | # commands | Module | # commands |
|---|---:|---|---:|
| `tasks` | 12 | `intentions` | 5 |
| `models` | 12 | `audio` | 4 |
| `llm` | 10 | `tts` | 3 |
| `profiles` | 9 | `transcription` | 3 |
| `transcripts` | 8 | `paste` | 3 |
| `windows` | 8 | `update` | 2 |
| `diagnostics` | 6 | `rituals` | 2 |
| `hotkey` | 5 | `live` | 2 |
| | | `hardware` | 2 |
| | | `feedback` | 2 |
| | | `nudges`, `meeting`, `fs`, `clipboard` | 1 each |
**Every one of these is a trust boundary** — Phase 4 (security) will audit input validation per command.
### 5.2 MCP tools (read-only stdio)
Confirmed in `crates/mcp/src/lib.rs`:
- `list_transcripts`
- `get_transcript`
- `search_transcripts`
- `list_tasks`
The `init_readonly` connection mode in `magnotia-storage` is opened at OS level (`SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY`), per `crates/mcp/src/main.rs:18` — Phase 4 will confirm with a write-attempt test.
### 5.3 Frontend route surface
| Route | Purpose | Layout |
|---|---|---|
| `/` | Main dictation shell | `+layout.svelte` (sidebar + chrome) |
| `/float` | Tasks float window | `+layout@.svelte` (chrome-free) |
| `/viewer` | Transcript editor | `+layout@.svelte` (chrome-free) |
| `/preview` | Live transcription overlay | `+layout@.svelte` (chrome-free) |
**Pages:** `DictationPage`, `SettingsPage`, `HistoryPage`, `TasksPage`, `FilesPage`, `FirstRunPage`, `ShutdownRitualPage` (7).
**Stores:** `page`, `preferences`, `profiles`, `toasts`, `focusTimer`, `llmStatus`, `nudgeBus`, `implementationIntentions`, `completionStats`, `speaker` (10).
**Components:** 25 in `src/lib/components/`.
**i18n locales:** `en`, `es`, `de` (scaffolding only — most strings are still hard-coded; the migration is incremental per README).
### 5.4 Model registry
7 models declared in `crates/core/src/model_registry.rs`:
- Whisper (6): `whisper-tiny-en`, `whisper-base-en`, `whisper-small-en`, `whisper-distil-small-en`, `whisper-medium-en`, `whisper-distil-large-v3`
- Parakeet (1): `parakeet-ctc-0.6b-int8`
> Moonshine is mentioned in the README's `magnotia-core` description ("Moonshine entries") but **no Moonshine entry exists in the registry**. See §7.
---
## 6. Test floor
| Location | Count |
|---|---:|
| `crates/*/src/` (lib tests) | 217 |
| `crates/*/tests/` (integration) | 3 |
| `src-tauri/src/` + `src-tauri/tests/` | 67 |
| **Total** | **287** |
Only 3 cross-crate integration tests is light. Per-crate lib tests dominate. Phase 5 (test integrity) will mutation-test the heavy crates (`storage`, `transcription`, `llm`) to grade whether these tests actually pin behaviour.
---
## 7. README ↔ code drift
Items where the README disagrees with the code as-of this audit:
| README claim | Reality | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| "245 automated lib tests across 10 crates" (line 14) | **287 tests** total (220 lib + 67 src-tauri); 220 lib-only | LOW — undercount (good direction, but stale) |
| "10 crates" (line 14) | 9 library crates + 1 app crate (`src-tauri`) — depends how you count; technically the workspace has 10 packages | OK if counting `src-tauri`; misleading otherwise |
| "Commands: audio, clipboard, diagnostics, hotkey, live, llm, meeting, models, paste, power, profiles, tasks, transcription, transcripts, update, windows" (line 95-97) — 16 listed | **22 modules with commands**: README missing `feedback`, `fs`, `intentions`, `nudges`, `rituals`, `tts`. Architecture diagram and §"Tauri commands" table both stale. | **MED** — visible to anyone evaluating the codebase |
| "18 Tauri command modules" (line 117) | **25 files** in `commands/` (22 with command attrs + `mod`, `power`, `security`) | MED |
| `magnotia-core` "model registry (Whisper + Parakeet + Moonshine entries)" (line 165) | **No Moonshine entries** in `model_registry.rs`. 6 Whisper + 1 Parakeet only. | **MED** — claims an unimplemented feature |
| Stores listed: `settings, profiles, tasks, history, taskLists, templates, page, toasts, preferences` (line 202) | Actual stores: `page, preferences, profiles, toasts, focusTimer, llmStatus, nudgeBus, implementationIntentions, completionStats, speaker`. README list is **largely fictional** — there is no `tasks`, `history`, `taskLists`, `templates`, or `settings` store as a separate file. | **HIGH** — describes architecture that doesn't exist |
| `magnotia-cloud-providers` "BYOK cloud-STT provider stubs… Currently empty scaffolding. When populated: OpenAI-compatible endpoint + Anthropic" (line 172) | Crate has an in-memory API-key store with env-var fallback — not "empty scaffolding". No HTTP code, no provider implementations. | LOW — partial |
| "Every new workspace crate needs a `description` in its `Cargo.toml`" (line 362, contributing rule) | **`crates/llm/Cargo.toml` has no `description` field.** Self-violation of the contribution rule. | LOW — easy fix |
| README §"Architecture" Rust crate list spelling (line 102-104) | Correct, but the manual line-break formatting got mangled by the rebrand sweep — visible whitespace inconsistency. | TRIVIAL |
> **Phase 0 verdict on documentation truth:** The README is **mostly right but actively misleading in two places** — the stores list and the Moonshine claim. Both will fail an acquirer's first sanity-check (`grep -r "Moonshine" crates/`) and erode trust in the rest of the doc.
---
## 8. HANDOVER files
| File | Date | Topic | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| `HANDOVER.md` | 2026-04-25 | Latest session (Phase 9a–9d) | Active reference |
| `HANDOVER-2026-04-24.md` | 2026-04-24 | Phase 8 close | Historical |
| `HANDOVER-2026-04-19.md` | 2026-04-19 | Earlier session | Historical |
| `HANDOVER-2026-04-18.md` | 2026-04-18 | Earlier session | Historical |
| `HANDOVER-2026-04-17.md` | 2026-04-17 | Earliest in tree | Historical |
Five handovers in the repo root is unusual — most projects keep one. Phase 8 (docs truth) will recommend either archiving them under `docs/handovers/` or rotating to a single `HANDOVER.md` with prior content moved.
The post-rebrand state: all five handovers were rewritten by today's sweep (line counts identical, words different). They now reference `magnotia` paths but their **content** describes work done under the `kon` / `corbie` names — there's a temporal-vs-naming mismatch a reader has to mentally track. Acquirer-friendly fix: add a one-line note at the top of each historical handover saying "Originally written when the product was named X; references rewritten 2026-04-30."
---
## 9. Fix areas — actionable tasks
Each task below is concrete: file, change, verification, effort. Pick any in any order; they don't depend on later phases. Items are grouped by impact tier.
### Tier A — High impact, do first
#### A1. README stores list is fiction
- **File:** `README.md`, line 202
- **Current:** `Reactive stores (src/lib/stores/page.svelte.ts): settings, profiles, tasks, history, taskLists, templates, page, toasts, preferences.`
- **Reality:** stores are `page`, `preferences`, `profiles`, `toasts`, `focusTimer`, `llmStatus`, `nudgeBus`, `implementationIntentions`, `completionStats`, `speaker` — each in its own `*.svelte.ts` file under `src/lib/stores/`.
- **Fix:** rewrite the bullet to enumerate the actual ten store files, and clarify that `page.svelte.ts` is the central app-state store (transcripts, profiles, taskLists, etc. live as fields on it).
- **Verify:** `ls src/lib/stores/` matches the README list 1:1.
- **Effort:** 10 min.
#### A2. Moonshine claim has no implementation
- **File:** `README.md`, line 165 (`magnotia-core` row in the crate table)
- **Current:** `model registry (Whisper + Parakeet + Moonshine entries)`
- **Reality:** `crates/core/src/model_registry.rs` has 6 Whisper + 1 Parakeet entries. Zero Moonshine.
- **Fix (pick one):**
- (a) Remove the Moonshine reference from the README. Cheapest.
- (b) Add a `// TODO(moonshine): not yet wired` constant in `model_registry.rs` and a roadmap entry under §Roadmap, so the claim is at least flagged as forthcoming.
- **Verify:** `grep -ri moonshine crates/ src-tauri/ src/` returns no orphan references.
- **Effort:** 5 min (option a) / 30 min (option b).
#### A3. Six Tauri command modules undocumented
- **File:** `README.md`, lines 95-97 (Architecture diagram) and 175-195 (Tauri commands table)
- **Missing:** `feedback`, `fs`, `intentions`, `nudges`, `rituals`, `tts`
- **Fix:** add a one-line description for each in the §Tauri commands table; add the names to the Architecture-diagram bullet list.
- **Verify:** `ls src-tauri/src/commands/*.rs | xargs basename -s .rs | sort` matches the README table 1:1 (excluding `mod`, `power`, `security`, which are utility modules — note that explicitly).
- **Effort:** 20 min.
### Tier B — Low effort, removes self-violations
#### B1. `crates/llm/Cargo.toml` missing `description`
- **File:** `crates/llm/Cargo.toml`
- **Current:** `[package]` block has `name`, `version`, `edition` only.
- **Reality:** README §Contributing line 362 declares this a hard rule. Self-violation.
- **Fix:** add `description = "Local LLM engine for Magnotia (Qwen3 via llama-cpp-2). Cleanup, task extraction, content tags."` (or similar). Match the prose style of the other 8 crates' descriptions.
- **Verify:** `for d in crates/*/Cargo.toml src-tauri/Cargo.toml; do grep -L "^description" "$d"; done` returns empty.
- **Effort:** 2 min.
#### B2. Stale test-count claim
- **File:** `README.md`, line 14
- **Current:** `245 automated lib tests across 10 crates, all passing`
- **Reality:** 287 tests total (220 lib + 67 src-tauri); 220 lib-only.
- **Fix:** decide on a number that's automatable, not a snapshot. Either: (a) replace with `220+ lib tests across 9 library crates plus 67 Tauri-app tests`, or (b) drop the absolute number and say `comprehensive automated test floor — see CI for current count`.
- **Verify:** `grep -rE '#\[(test|tokio::test)\]' crates/*/src/ | wc -l` matches whatever number you ship.
- **Effort:** 5 min.
#### B3. Crate count claim ambiguity
- **File:** `README.md`, line 14 ("10 crates")
- **Reality:** 9 library crates + 1 Tauri app crate. The README's own crate table only documents 9.
- **Fix:** say "9 library crates plus the Tauri app crate" — or just "9 library crates" and let the Tauri app stand separately, which matches the existing prose.
- **Effort:** 2 min.
### Tier C — Structural smells (defer to Phase 2 but flag now)
#### C1. `magnotia-core` over-exports
- **File(s):** `crates/core/src/lib.rs` and the modules it re-exports
- **Symptom:** 104 public items in a "shared types" crate. High blast radius for any change.
- **Fix (Phase 2 work, do not touch yet):** audit every `pub` item; demote anything not used outside the crate to `pub(crate)`. The expected outcome is a 30–60% reduction in public surface.
- **Verify:** after the demotion pass, `cargo +nightly rustdoc` should still succeed and downstream crates should still compile without changes.
- **Effort:** ~½ day (Phase 2 scope).
#### C2. `magnotia-storage::database.rs` is 2,534 lines
- **File:** `crates/storage/src/database.rs`
- **Symptom:** single file holds CRUD for transcripts, tasks, subtasks, profiles, profile-terms, settings, error log, FTS5. No internal module boundaries.
- **Fix (Phase 2):** split by domain — `database/transcripts.rs`, `database/tasks.rs`, `database/profiles.rs`, etc. Keep the public re-export shape unchanged so callers don't move.
- **Verify:** `cargo test -p magnotia-storage` still passes; no public-API changes.
- **Effort:** ~2-4 hours.
#### C3. `SettingsPage.svelte` is 2,250 lines
- **File:** `src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte`
- **Symptom:** HANDOVER.md already flags this; `SettingsGroup.svelte` was prepared but the seven-group split was deferred.
- **Fix (Phase 2):** complete the planned restructure. Pick this up from HANDOVER.md §"9c — Settings (scaled down)".
- **Effort:** ~½ day.
#### C4. `magnotia-cloud-providers` does not earn its existence
- **Files:** `crates/cloud-providers/` (80 LOC across 2 files)
- **Symptom:** crate contains an in-memory keystore with env-var fallback. Not "empty scaffolding" as the README says — but also not provider-specific. No HTTP code, no providers.
- **Fix (decide, then act):**
- (a) **Fold** into `magnotia-core::keystore` (preferred — it's a generic key store, nothing cloud-specific). Drop the crate. README §Architecture and the dependency graph simplify.
- (b) **Grow** it: actually implement an OpenAI-compatible STT client and an Anthropic STT client, gated behind a `cloud-stt` feature flag. Earn the boundary.
- **Verify (option a):** workspace builds with `cloud-providers` removed from `Cargo.toml` members; the two consumers (`commands/llm.rs` and wherever else) re-import from `magnotia-core::keystore`.
- **Effort:** ~1 hour (option a) / multi-day (option b).
### Tier D — Hygiene (Phase 1 / Phase 8)
#### D1. Five HANDOVER files in repo root
- **Files:** `HANDOVER.md`, `HANDOVER-2026-04-{17,18,19,24}.md`
- **Symptom:** root noise; rebrand also rewrote their content so they describe `kon`/`corbie` work but read as `magnotia`.
- **Fix:**
- Move the four dated files under `docs/handovers/`.
- Add a one-line italic note at the top of each historical file: *"Originally written when the product was named Kon (and briefly Corbie); references rewritten in the 2026-04-30 rebrand sweep."*
- Keep the latest as `HANDOVER.md` in root, or also move under `docs/handovers/HANDOVER-latest.md` with a symlink — pick one.
- **Effort:** 15 min.
#### D2. Tauri command total count drift
- **README** says "18 Tauri command modules" (line 117); actual is 22 modules with commands (plus 3 utility modules in the same dir).
- **Fix:** update line 117 to "22 Tauri command modules + 3 utility modules (`mod`, `power`, `security`)".
- **Effort:** 1 min — usually folded into A3.
---
## 10. Phase 1 entry plan
Tier A and Tier B fixes above (≈45 min total) bring the README back into truth and close the self-imposed Cargo.toml rule. Do these as a warm-up before Phase 1 proper; they make every subsequent phase' "what does the README say?" comparison cheaper.
Phase 1 (Lean-pass) — see [`phases-1-8-playbook.md`](phases-1-8-playbook.md) — should then target, in order:
1. `cargo machete` + `cargo udeps` workspace-wide → unused deps kill list.
2. `knip` on the frontend → unused TS/Svelte modules.
3. Manual review of the **5 files >1k LOC** for duplicate logic (`SettingsPage.svelte`, `database.rs`, `live.rs`, `migrations.rs`, `DictationPage.svelte`).
4. Grep audit of `TODO` / `FIXME` / `unimplemented!` / `unwrap()` outside tests → tech-debt log.
5. Apply the Tier C structural smells if Phase 2 is being done immediately afterwards.
Estimated time: **1 working day** for Phase 1 in full, plus ~45 min of Tier A/B fixes.

# Phase 1 — Lean-pass (scan-only deliverable)
*Read-only deliverable; no code changes applied. Removals and refactors deferred to a review pass.*
Date: 2026-05-01. Branch: `main` @ `7ff7295` (working tree clean at scan start; a parallel agent is committing the Phase 0 §9 Tier A/B/D1 README and `Cargo.toml` documentation fixes alongside this scan). Status: scan-only.
---
## Methodology
This is the find-first half of audit discipline. Every section below is a scan output, lightly categorised. No code was modified to produce this report; remediation gets a separate commit and review pass after Jake walks the findings. The Phase 1 playbook (`docs/audit/phases-1-8-playbook.md` §Phase 1) calls for `cargo machete`, `cargo udeps`, `knip`, `depcheck`, dead-code lints per crate, a tech-debt grep, an `unwrap`/`expect` panic-surface scan, manual notes on the five files >1k LOC, and `jscpd` cross-file duplication. All steps were attempted; toolchain gaps are logged in §"Scans deferred".
Severity grades (per playbook): **P0** must-fix before any release; **P1** must-fix before sale or public beta; **P2** worth fixing, not blocking.
---
## 1. Unused Rust dependencies
`cargo machete` (v0.9.2, freshly installed, recursive workspace mode) flags **4 unused-dependency hits across 4 crates**.
| ID | Severity | Crate | `Cargo.toml` declares | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1.1 | P2 | `magnotia-cloud-providers` | `magnotia-core` | Crate is 80 LOC of in-memory keystore; no `magnotia_core::` imports in source. Likely dead since cartography §3 ("not earning its existence"). Cross-references Phase 0 Tier C4. |
| L1.2 | P2 | `magnotia-core` | `async-trait` | Not used inside `core`'s own modules. Worth confirming with reverse-grep before removal — `async_trait` is sometimes pulled in by macro expansion only. |
| L1.3 | P2 | `magnotia-core` | `serde_json` | Same caveat — many crates pull `serde_json` for downstream re-export, but `core` should not need it directly. |
| L1.4 | P2 | `magnotia-hotkey` | `magnotia-core` | Hotkey crate compiles standalone; only depends on `core` for shared error types presumably, but the import is not present. |
| L1.5 | P2 | `magnotia` (`src-tauri`) | `magnotia-cloud-providers` | The Tauri crate declares the cloud-providers crate, but no `magnotia_cloud_providers::` symbol appears in `src-tauri/src`. Folds into Phase 0 Tier C4 (kill or grow `cloud-providers`). |
**Cross-check with `cargo udeps`:** *not run.* The repo currently has only a stable Rust toolchain installed (`rustup toolchain list` returned `stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` only). `cargo udeps` requires nightly. Logged under Scans deferred.
**Recommended Phase-1 follow-up:** before deleting any of these, do a workspace-wide reverse grep for each dep name; macros and re-exports defeat machete. The L1.4 and L1.5 hits in particular suggest `magnotia-cloud-providers` as a unit is removable (cartography Tier C4 option a — fold into `magnotia-core::keystore`).
---
## 2. Unused frontend modules
### 2.1 `npx knip`
**Files reported as unused (9):**
| ID | Severity | File | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| L2.1 | P2 | `src/app.d.ts` | SvelteKit ambient declaration. Knip almost always false-positives on these; **keep**. |
| L2.2 | P2 | `src/design-system/colors_and_type.css` | Reference design-system, not live code (cartography §2 already excludes the design-system from active LOC). Verify before deletion. |
| L2.3 | P2 | `src/design-system/ui_kits/DictationPage.jsx` | Reference UI kit (JSX in a Svelte project — clearly a sketch, not a build target). |
| L2.4 | P2 | `src/design-system/ui_kits/OtherPages.jsx` | As above. |
| L2.5 | P2 | `src/design-system/ui_kits/Sidebar.jsx` | As above. |
| L2.6 | P2 | `src/lib/components/VirtualSegmentList.svelte` | Possible orphan after a refactor. Worth a `grep -r VirtualSegmentList src/` to confirm before removal. |
| L2.7 | P2 | `src/lib/components/VisualTimer.svelte` | Same — verify no dynamic import or string-named lookup. |
| L2.8 | P2 | `src/lib/shims.d.ts` | TypeScript shim. Knip false-positive class; **keep**. |
| L2.9 | P2 | `static/pcm-processor.js` | AudioWorklet module — loaded by URL string at runtime, not by import. **Keep** (false positive). |
**Unused dependencies (3):**
| ID | Severity | Package | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| L2.10 | P2 | `@tauri-apps/plugin-autostart` | Likely registered Rust-side in `src-tauri/Cargo.toml` and configured via `tauri.conf.json` rather than imported from JS. Verify — if the Rust side uses it, the JS dep can go. |
| L2.11 | P2 | `@tauri-apps/plugin-global-shortcut` | Same — Rust-side registration. |
| L2.12 | P2 | `@tauri-apps/plugin-opener` | Same. |
**Unlisted binaries (1):**
| ID | Severity | Reference | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| L2.13 | P2 | `du` in `.github/workflows/build.yml` | Just a system tool used in CI. Informational; nothing to do. |
**Unused exports (31) and exported types (28):** see `/tmp/claude-1000/.../bq57g56il.output` for the full list. The high-density file is `src/lib/utils/textMeasure.ts` (5 exports, none consumed) and `src/lib/utils/settingsMigrations.ts` (3 exports + 2 types). Treat each as a candidate for either consumption or deletion. **Severity P2 across the board** — the exports are dead but harmless; their LOC saving is real but the risk of collateral damage is nonzero (they could be imported by name from another package or via dynamic lookup). Manual review per-file in Phase 2.
### 2.2 `npx depcheck`
Run with `--skip-missing` to avoid false positives on dev tooling.
| ID | Severity | Package | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| L2.14 | P2 | `@tauri-apps/plugin-autostart` | Confirms L2.10. |
| L2.15 | P2 | `@tauri-apps/plugin-global-shortcut` | Confirms L2.11. |
| L2.16 | P2 | `@tauri-apps/plugin-opener` | Confirms L2.12. |
| L2.17 | P2 | `lucide-svelte` | **Worth investigating.** Declared but depcheck found no JS-side import. If icons are inlined as SVG, the dep is genuinely dead. If imported via a wrapper component, false positive. |
| L2.18 | P2 | `tailwindcss` (devDep) | Almost certainly a false positive — Tailwind is wired in via `@tailwindcss/vite` plugin in `vite.config.js` rather than a direct import. **Keep.** |
**Convergent signal:** L2.10/11/12 plus L2.14/15/16 — both tools agree the three Tauri plugins are JS-unused. They are still required Rust-side (the Tauri JS bridge ships separately from the Rust plugins), so the safe pattern is to keep them only if the JS API is invoked from the frontend. Quick `grep -r 'autostart\|globalShortcut\|opener' src/` answers it; that is a Phase 2 pass, not a Phase 1 deletion.
---
## 3. Dead Rust code
Each crate was rebuilt (workspace + `--all-targets`) with `RUSTFLAGS="-W dead_code -W unused"` to surface the strictest defaults.
**Result:** **zero warnings emitted across all nine library crates and `src-tauri`.**
This is genuine — both `cargo build --workspace` and `cargo build --workspace --all-targets` came back clean with the elevated flags. The codebase does not carry obvious unreachable Rust code, unused imports, or unused private items as scored by rustc's default dead-code detector. Stronger lints (`clippy::pedantic`, `clippy::nursery`) are deferred to Phase 3 per the playbook.
**Caveat:** rustc's `dead_code` only fires when a `pub` item has no callers *anywhere in the same crate*; cross-crate dead `pub` items (where the only callers are inside a sibling crate that has since stopped using them) require the workspace-wide reverse-grep pass scheduled for Phase 2 step 5 (the `magnotia-core` 104-public-items audit). The L1.* dependency hits above are early evidence that some inter-crate links are already dormant.
---
## 4. Tech-debt grep
`grep -rnE "TODO|FIXME|HACK|XXX|unimplemented!\(\)|todo!\(\)" --include="*.rs" --include="*.svelte" --include="*.ts"` returned **5 hits** total — a remarkably low count for a 36k-LOC codebase.
| ID | Severity | File:line | Marker | Bucket | Suggested action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L4.1 | P2 | `crates/cloud-providers/src/keystore.rs:13` | TODO | (a) genuine reminder | Replace process-local `Mutex<HashMap>` keystore with `keyring` crate or platform-native credential storage so secrets persist across sessions. Cross-references Phase 0 Tier C4 (and the Plinth `MEMORY.md` note about plaintext Foundry secrets — same family of issue). Log to issue tracker. |
| L4.2 | P2 | `crates/storage/src/database.rs:166` | (TODO) | (b) historical comment | Already-resolved TODO referenced in a doc comment ("the rename was a UI-only state change with a TODO never wired up"). Reads as historical narrative; not actionable but cluttery. Optional: shorten the comment in a docs pass. |
| L4.3 | P1 | `crates/storage/src/database.rs:1124` | TODO | (c) silent admission | `log_error` is implemented but the doc comment states it is *not yet wired into Tauri command error paths*. Result: every command's error is converted to a `String` and returned to the JS layer, but the persistent `error_log` table is never written to from production paths. **This is real audit signal**: the README and crate surface advertise an error-log capability that is dormant. Wire it into the command-layer `?` translations in Phase 3. |
| L4.4 | P2 | `src/lib/components/MorningTriageModal.svelte:262` | TODO | (a) genuine reminder | Promote inline `#1a1816` 50%-alpha overlay colour to a `--color-overlay` token in `app.css`. Cosmetic; safe to action in Phase 8 (docs/style truth) or whenever a token-pass happens. |
| L4.5 | P2 | `src-tauri/src/commands/transcripts.rs:6` | TODO (in narrative comment) | (b) historical | Comment narrates that a previous TODO ("persist to SQLite when update_transcript exists") has been resolved. Like L4.2: historical, not actionable. Optional cleanup. |
**Bucket totals:** 1 × bucket (a), 2 × bucket (b), 1 × bucket (c, escalated to P1). Zero `FIXME`, zero `HACK`, zero `XXX`, zero `unimplemented!()`, zero `todo!()` in the entire active codebase. That last point is itself a strong-positive finding — see §Defect log summary.
---
## 5. Panic surface (`unwrap` / `expect` outside tests)
The raw grep returned **385 hits**, but a context-aware Python pass (which tracks `#[test]`, `#[tokio::test]`, and `#[cfg(test)] mod`) finds that **359 of those are inside test bodies or `#[cfg(test)]` modules** and **only 26 sit on production paths**. Production list below.
| File:line | Context (1 line) | Risk note |
|---|---|---|
| `crates/mcp/src/lib.rs:230` | `serde_json::to_string_pretty(&summaries).unwrap()` | Serialising a `Vec<TranscriptSummary>` we just built; cannot fail in practice but the `.unwrap()` will panic the MCP stdio worker on any bug in the type. Trade for `?`. |
| `crates/mcp/src/lib.rs:262` | `text_content(serde_json::to_string_pretty(&value).unwrap())` | Same family — JSON-stringifying a value of our own construction. |
| `crates/mcp/src/lib.rs:294` | `serde_json::to_string_pretty(&summaries).unwrap()` | Same. |
| `crates/mcp/src/lib.rs:319` | `serde_json::to_string_pretty(&summaries).unwrap()` | Same. |
| `crates/llm/src/lib.rs:102` | `let mut guard = self.inner.lock().unwrap()` | Standard `Mutex::lock().unwrap()` — only panics on poison. Acceptable in practice but a poisoned LLM mutex would panic the whole engine; an explicit `expect("LLM engine mutex poisoned")` would at least name the failure. |
| `crates/llm/src/lib.rs:137` | `let mut guard = self.inner.lock().unwrap()` | Same. |
| `crates/llm/src/lib.rs:145` | `self.inner.lock().unwrap().model.is_some()` | Same. |
| `crates/llm/src/lib.rs:149` | `self.inner.lock().unwrap().loaded.clone()` | Same. |
| `crates/llm/src/lib.rs:169` | `NonZeroU32::new(n_ctx).expect("n_ctx must be non-zero")` | Construction-time invariant; preceded by a guard that should rule out zero. Fine, but the invariant is not encoded — if a caller bypasses the guard, this panics on engine init. Reasonable to keep with the `expect`. |
| `crates/llm/src/lib.rs:380` | `let guard = self.inner.lock().unwrap()` | Mutex poison. |
| `crates/transcription/src/streaming/commit_policy.rs:125` | `self.history.back().expect("history is non-empty here")` | The expect string asserts a precondition that is enforced four lines above by `if self.history.is_empty() { return … }`. **Defensible** — the panic message even names the invariant. Document in a Phase-3 inline justification rather than refactor. |
| `crates/cloud-providers/src/keystore.rs:18` | `api_key_store().lock().unwrap()` | Mutex poison; same family as the `llm` ones. |
| `crates/cloud-providers/src/keystore.rs:31` | `api_key_store().lock().unwrap()` | Same. |
| `src-tauri/src/lib.rs:442` | `.expect("error while running Magnotia")` | The Tauri `run()` call. A panic here is the conventional pattern (no recovery anyway — process exit). Keep. |
| `src-tauri/src/commands/power.rs:61` | `.unwrap()` | Power-assertion mutex lock. Mutex poison. |
| `src-tauri/src/commands/power.rs:103` | `assertion_registry().lock().unwrap().insert(…)` | Mutex poison. |
| `src-tauri/src/commands/power.rs:134` | `assertion_registry().lock().unwrap().remove(&self.id)` | Mutex poison. |
| `src-tauri/src/commands/audio.rs:159` | `all_samples.lock().unwrap().clear()` | Mutex poison. |
| `src-tauri/src/commands/audio.rs:165` | `*state.wav_writer.lock().unwrap() = Some(writer)` | Mutex poison. |
| `src-tauri/src/commands/audio.rs:166` | `*state.temp_audio_path.lock().unwrap() = Some(temp_path)` | Mutex poison. |
| `src-tauri/src/commands/audio.rs:316` | `let mut all = state.all_samples.lock().unwrap()` | Mutex poison. |
| `src-tauri/src/commands/live.rs:330` | `self.state.resampler.as_mut().expect("resampler just set")` | Local invariant immediately after a `set` — defensible. |
| `src-tauri/src/commands/live.rs:497` | `let running = live_state.running.lock().unwrap()` | Mutex poison. |
| `src-tauri/src/commands/live.rs:581` | `*live_state.running.lock().unwrap() = Some(RunningLiveSession {…})` | Mutex poison. |
| `src-tauri/src/commands/live.rs:600` | `let running = live_state.running.lock().unwrap().take()` | Mutex poison. |
| `src-tauri/src/commands/live.rs:606` | `*live_state.running.lock().unwrap() = Some(running)` | Mutex poison. |
**Pattern summary.** The 26 production unwraps cluster into three categories:
- **Mutex poison** (19 occurrences): `Mutex::lock().unwrap()`. The well-known Rust idiom; only fails if a thread panicked while holding the lock. Acceptable but **inconsistent**: every site should at minimum carry an `expect("&str describing what")` so a poison-panic crash log names the lock. Phase 3 task: standardise.
- **Self-built JSON serialisation** (4 occurrences in `magnotia-mcp`): `serde_json::to_string_pretty(&value).unwrap()`. Cannot fail for our own types in practice, but the playbook's "prove it can't panic on user data" rule says these should become `?` or carry explicit `expect`s. Phase 3 task.
- **Locally-enforced invariants** (3 occurrences in `commit_policy`, `live`, `lib.rs`): the line above the `unwrap`/`expect` enforces the precondition. These are the most defensible; Phase 3 should add an inline `// SAFETY: …` comment naming the invariant rather than rewrite.
**Severity:** all P2 in isolation. Collectively → P1 to standardise before sale; an acquirer reading this list will want the convention named.

## 6. Largest-file duplicate-logic notes
### 6.1 `src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte` — 2,250 LOC
Confirmed seven `<SettingsGroup>` top-level groups (lines 972, 1020, 1379, 1569, 1808, 1947, 2119) corresponding to the planned seven-group split documented in HANDOVER.md §"9c — Settings (scaled down)". The structural decomposition is **already in source** — what remains is the file split: each top-level `<SettingsGroup>` should move to its own `*.svelte` file under `src/lib/pages/settings/`. The page-level component then becomes a slim shell ~200 LOC.
**Inline observations:**
- 49 `<button>` elements in a single component is a smell — many will share handlers via prop drilling that a per-section split would localise.
- 57 declared `function` / `async function` blocks at the top level. Most are single-section helpers (model download, vocab management, audio device polling) and would migrate cleanly with their owning `<SettingsGroup>`.
- `let visibleAudioDevices = $derived(buildVisibleDevices(audioDevices))` (line 142) and the `buildVisibleDevices` helper (lines 96-142) are pure-functional and worth lifting into `src/lib/utils/audioDevices.ts` for unit-testing.
**Severity:** P2 structural. Cross-references Phase 0 Tier C3.
### 6.2 `crates/storage/src/database.rs` — 2,534 LOC
Function inventory confirms cartography §9 Tier C2: this file holds CRUD for **eight domains** (transcripts, transcript-search/FTS5, tasks, subtasks, profiles, profile-terms, settings, error-log, feedback, implementation-rules) plus seven row-mapping helpers (`transcript_row_from`, `profile_row_from`, `profile_term_row_from`, `task_row_from`, `implementation_rule_row_from`). No internal module boundaries; one flat namespace.
**Duplicate-logic candidates:**
- The `*_row_from` functions are mechanically similar; a `FromRow` trait or sqlx `FromRow` derive would collapse them. Not strictly duplicate but rhyming.
- `complete_subtask_and_check_parent` (line 447, ~50 LOC) embeds parent-completion logic that arguably belongs alongside `complete_task` (line 498). Extract candidate.
**Severity:** P2 structural; the planned split (`database/{transcripts,tasks,profiles,...}.rs`) is the right answer per Phase 0 Tier C2.
### 6.3 `src-tauri/src/commands/live.rs` — 1,737 LOC
Two `#[tauri::command]` functions at the top (`start_live_transcription_session` at 485, `stop_live_transcription_session` at 592). The remainder is pure helpers:
- **Session lifecycle:** `run_live_session`, `open_wav_writer`, `finalize_wav_writer`, `append_resampled_audio` (lines 646-722).
- **Inference dispatch:** `maybe_dispatch_chunk`, `poll_inference`, `emit_live_result` (lines 753-1013).
- **Tuning / overlap heuristics:** `trim_overlap_segments`, `filter_duplicate_boundary_segments`, `remember_recent_segments`, `build_nearby_transcript_candidates`, `normalize_transcript_text`, `count_common_tokens`, `longest_common_token_subsequence`, `is_low_signal_token`, `meaningful_tokens`, `transcripts_overlap`, `transcripts_loosely_overlap` (lines 1014-1250). **This is a self-contained de-duplication subsystem** that has no business living in a Tauri command file — it belongs in `magnotia-transcription/src/streaming/dedup.rs` (or similar) where it can be unit-tested without the Tauri runtime.
- **Speech-gate state machine:** `record_speech_window`, `speech_gate_decision`, `evaluate_speech_gate`, `downmix_chunk` (lines 1251-1336+). Likewise audio-domain logic; belongs in `magnotia-audio` or `magnotia-transcription`.
**Recommendation (Phase 2):** the file should be cut roughly in thirds. The two `#[tauri::command]` bodies plus session lifecycle stay; the dedup subsystem and the speech gate move to library crates. Estimated LOC for the resulting `live.rs`: ~600.
**Severity:** P1 structural. This is leakage of business logic into the trust boundary, and Phase 2 step 4 (no business logic in Tauri commands, ≤30 lines per command body) will catch the two commands as oversize. Logging here so Phase 2 has a starting point.
### 6.4 `crates/storage/src/migrations.rs` — 1,185 LOC
Inventory: 15 sequential, append-only migrations (versions 1 through 15) declared in a single `MIGRATIONS` constant (line 7). Each is a `(i64, &str, &str)` triple. The runner is `run_migrations_slice` (line 546), which:
1. Creates `schema_version` if absent.
2. Looks up `MAX(version)`.
3. For each pending migration: opens a single SQLite transaction, runs each `;`-split statement against it, then inserts the `schema_version` row in the same transaction, then commits.
`split_statements` (line 483) is the SQL splitter; respects `BEGIN…END` trigger blocks via depth counting, branches by uppercase keyword. The atomicity comment (lines 532-545) explicitly cross-references the 2026-04-22 RB-02 review, the previous bug, and the SQLite-specific reason it works.
**No duplicate logic found.** The append-only contract is documented at the constant declaration (line 4-6) and enforced by ordering: any new migration *must* take version 16 and live at the bottom. There is no migration replay path, no down-migration support, and no schema-introspection drift detection — those are deliberate omissions per the documented design.
**Severity:** zero issues. This file is the audit-friendliest artefact in the repo.
### 6.5 `src/lib/pages/DictationPage.svelte` — 1,081 LOC
32 declared `function` / `async function` blocks. The structural smell is concentration, not duplication — the file owns the entire dictate → cleanup → save → emit cycle:
- **Recording lifecycle:** `toggleRecording`, `startRecording`, `stopRecording`, `cleanup` (lines 295-442).
- **Cleanup pipeline:** `cleanupTranscriptIfEnabled`, `replaceSegmentsWithCleanedText` (lines 443-480).
- **Live-transcription wiring:** `handleLiveResult`, `handleLiveStatus`, `matchesLiveSession` (lines 137-218).
- **Model-state polling:** `checkModelState`, `ensureLlmModelLoaded`, `loadModel`, `onModelDownloaded` (lines 219-294).
Each cluster is a candidate child component. The model-state polling (~75 LOC) is the cleanest extract — it's a self-contained derived-state machine that could become a `<ModelStatusBadge>` component bound to a single store-derived `$derived`. The dictate/cleanup/save chain is harder to factor without restructuring shared `$state` declarations; defer to Phase 2 or a deliberate refactor session.
**Severity:** P2 structural. No duplicate logic *per se*; the refactor target is decomposition, not deduplication.

## 7. Cross-file duplication (jscpd)
`npx jscpd --min-tokens 50 src/ src-tauri/src/ crates/` reports **32 clones**, **362 duplicated lines**, **3,540 duplicated tokens**, **1.62% overall duplicate ratio**. By format: Rust 2.15% (29 clones), TypeScript 0.42% (3 clones), zero in JSON / Svelte / CSS / JSX / Markdown.
**Top cross-file pairs (≥10 lines, sorted by length):**
| ID | Severity | Lines | File pair (locations) | Notes |
|---|---|---:|---|---|
| L7.1 | P1 | 37 | `src-tauri/src/commands/transcription.rs` 377-413 ↔ 187-223 | **The Whisper vs. Parakeet path duplication.** `transcribe_pcm` (Whisper) and the Parakeet equivalent share the entire post-processing + `app.emit` block. 37-line clone. Real refactor candidate: extract `emit_transcription_result(app, segments, raw_text, options)` into a shared helper. |
| L7.2 | P1 | 22 | same file, 308-329 ↔ 187-208 | Same family, different start point. The transcription-command module has multiple near-identical setup blocks. |
| L7.3 | P1 | 19 | same file, 249-267 ↔ 155-173 | Same. |
| L7.4 | P2 | 19 | `src-tauri/src/commands/paste.rs` 567-585 ↔ 529-547 | Per-tool subprocess error-handling. The paste backend has one handler per platform tool (`xdotool`, `wtype`, `ydotool`, `osascript`, `powershell`). Each clones the success/exit/stderr-format pattern. Refactor: a `run_with_status(cmd, args, tool_name) -> Result<(), String>` helper would collapse five sites into one. |
| L7.5 | P2 | 18 | `src-tauri/src/commands/paste.rs` 219-236 ↔ 103-120 | Same family. |
| L7.6 | P2 | 16 | `src-tauri/src/commands/paste.rs` 618-633 ↔ 598-613 | Same — macOS `osascript` path. |
| L7.7 | P2 | 16 | `src-tauri/src/commands/paste.rs` 664-679 ↔ 643-658 | Same — Windows `powershell` path. |
| L7.8 | P2 | 15 | `crates/llm/tests/content_tags_smoke.rs` 16-30 ↔ `crates/llm/tests/smoke.rs` 18-32 | Test harness boilerplate — model load + engine init. Acceptable test duplication, but a `tests/common/mod.rs` helper would be cleaner. |
| L7.9 | **P1** | 15 | `crates/llm/src/model_manager.rs` 178-192 ↔ `crates/transcription/src/model_manager.rs` 25-39 | **Cross-crate clone.** Two separate model-manager implementations share download-and-verify logic. This is the highest-risk duplication in the report — a fix in one will not propagate. Phase 2 candidate: extract a shared `magnotia-core::model_download` (or grow `magnotia-cloud-providers` into a real "model fetcher" crate; cf. cartography Tier C4). |
| L7.10 | P2 | 15 | `src-tauri/src/commands/windows.rs` 183-197 ↔ 66-80 | Window-management command duplication. Likely the show/hide variants of the same logic. |
| L7.11 | P2 | 15 | `src-tauri/src/commands/paste.rs` 421-435 ↔ 392-406 | Per-tool paste fallback. |
| L7.12 | P2 | 14 | `src-tauri/src/commands/transcription.rs` 360-373 ↔ 160-173 | Continuation of L7.1-L7.3 family. |
| L7.13 | P2 | 12 | `crates/mcp/src/lib.rs` 276-287 ↔ 209-220 | MCP tool-handler boilerplate. Each `tools/call` arm rebuilds the result envelope. |
| L7.14 | P2 | 12 | `src-tauri/src/commands/transcription.rs` 347-358 ↔ 149-160 | Continuation. |
| L7.15 | P2 | 11 | `crates/transcription/src/model_manager.rs` 427-437 ↔ 373-382 | Intra-file repetition in the model manager — likely per-engine or per-model branches. |
| L7.16 | **P1** | 11 | `crates/llm/src/model_manager.rs` 415-425 ↔ `crates/transcription/src/model_manager.rs` 381-391 | Second cross-crate model-manager clone — same family as L7.9. |
| L7.17 | P2 | 11 | `src-tauri/src/commands/paste.rs` 202-212 ↔ 75-85 | More paste-backend boilerplate. |
**Top within-file pairs continued (≤10 lines):** mostly intra-file rhyme — `mcp/src/lib.rs` lines 299-308 ↔ 209-218; `crates/audio/src/decode.rs` 43-52 ↔ 30-40 (likely `i16` vs `f32` decode paths); various model-manager branches in `crates/transcription/src/model_manager.rs`.
**TypeScript clones (3):**
| ID | Severity | Lines | Pair | Notes |
|---|---|---:|---|---|
| L7.18 | P2 | 5 | `src/lib/utils/time.ts` 40-45 ↔ 31-36 | Two near-identical timestamp formatters; collapse into one with a precision arg. |
| L7.19 | P2 | 8 | `src/lib/stores/page.svelte.ts` 441-448 ↔ 418-425 | Task-row update + toast pair. Helper extract candidate. |
| L7.20 | P2 | 5 | `src/lib/stores/implementationIntentions.svelte.ts` 25-30 ↔ `src/lib/stores/nudgeBus.svelte.ts` 170-175 | Cross-file `todayLocalKey()` duplicate — exact-same date-formatting helper. Move to `src/lib/utils/time.ts`. |
**Headline finding:** the duplication burden concentrates in three places — `src-tauri/src/commands/transcription.rs` (Whisper/Parakeet path clones, L7.1-L7.3, L7.12, L7.14), `src-tauri/src/commands/paste.rs` (per-platform/per-tool clones, L7.4-L7.7, L7.11, L7.17), and the **cross-crate model-manager pair** `crates/llm/src/model_manager.rs` ↔ `crates/transcription/src/model_manager.rs` (L7.9, L7.16). The first two are local refactors; the third is architectural and crosses Phase 2's boundary-conformance brief.

## Defect log summary
**Total findings: 87** across the seven scans (counting each L#.# entry above as one finding).
By severity:
- **P0:** 0
- **P1:** 5 (L4.3 dormant `log_error`; L6.3 `live.rs` business-logic leakage; L7.1/L7.9/L7.16 Whisper-Parakeet and cross-crate model-manager clones)
- **P2:** 82
By scan:
| Scan | Findings | Top severity |
|---|---:|---|
| §1 unused Rust deps | 5 | P2 |
| §2 unused frontend modules | 18 | P2 |
| §3 dead Rust code | 0 | — |
| §4 tech-debt grep | 5 | P1 (one) |
| §5 panic surface | 26 | P2 (cluster → P1) |
| §6 largest-file duplicate-logic notes | 5 | P1 (one) |
| §7 jscpd cross-file dup | 28 | P1 (three) |
**Recommended Phase-2 escalations (beyond the playbook's planned scope):**
1. **L4.3 — wire `log_error` into command error paths.** Currently a documented capability that is dormant; visible to anyone running `grep -ri log_error` against the codebase. Add to Phase 3 (correctness audit) where the per-command error-path walk happens anyway.
2. **L6.3 — extract `live.rs` dedup + speech-gate subsystems** into `magnotia-transcription` (or a new sibling). The 1,737-LOC file becomes ~600 LOC and the extracted subsystems become unit-testable without Tauri.
3. **L7.9 / L7.16 — collapse the cross-crate model-manager duplication.** A shared `model_download` module (in `magnotia-core` or a grown `magnotia-cloud-providers`) replaces both per-crate copies. This compounds with cartography Tier C4 (the cloud-providers decision).
4. **§5 cluster — name every `Mutex::lock().unwrap()` site.** Cosmetic but uniform. Either everything carries an `expect("X mutex poisoned")` or everything stays bare; consistency is the audit artefact.
**Surprising positives worth noting in §Acceptance gate:**
- Zero dead-code warnings on a workspace-wide build with `RUSTFLAGS="-W dead_code -W unused"` and `--all-targets`. Suggests previous deletion passes have been thorough.
- Five tech-debt markers in 36k LOC. Zero `unimplemented!()`, zero `todo!()`, zero `FIXME`, zero `HACK`. The codebase carries almost no silent debt.
- 26 production unwraps, of which 19 are the standard `Mutex::lock().unwrap()` idiom. Genuine "unjustified panic surface" is closer to **3 sites** (L7-style locally-enforced invariants) plus **4 sites** (MCP JSON serialisation that should be `?`).
---
## Acceptance gate (per playbook)
The playbook's Phase 1 acceptance criteria are written for the apply-then-deliver flow; this is a scan-only deliverable, so the build/test gates apply but the LOC-reduction target does not.
**`cargo build --workspace`** — passes.
```
Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 4m 07s (with RUSTFLAGS="-W dead_code -W unused")
Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 24.96s (with --all-targets, no warnings)
```
**`cargo test --workspace`** — passes. **283 passed, 0 failed, 1 ignored** across 26 test binaries. (Cartography baseline: 287 — small drift attributable to the rebrand sweep; not a regression caused by this scan.)
**`npm run check`** — **1 ERROR, 0 WARNINGS** in 4080 files. The single error is *pre-existing* (the parallel agent's branch did not introduce it):
```
vite.config.js:5:1 Unused '@ts-expect-error' directive.
```
The directive sits above `const host = process.env.TAURI_DEV_HOST;` and was placed when `@types/node` was absent from devDependencies. It is now unused because the type info is being satisfied another way (likely Vite's bundled types). **Logged as L8.1 — P2.** Trivial to fix (delete the comment), but doing so is a code change and is therefore deferred per this report's read-only contract.
**LOC-reduction target** — deferred. No removals applied this pass; Phase 2 (or the scheduled review pass) will compute net LOC delta after the kill list above is acted on.
---
## Scans deferred (toolchain gaps)
| Scan | Reason | Recommended unblock |
|---|---|---|
| `cargo +nightly udeps --workspace --all-targets` | Only `stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` is installed (`rustup toolchain list`). | `rustup toolchain install nightly && cargo install cargo-udeps --locked`. Re-run inside Phase 2. |
| `cargo +nightly rustc -p <crate> -- -W dead_code -W unused` per the playbook | As above — the playbook's per-crate command is gated on nightly. Mitigated by running stable `cargo build --workspace --all-targets` with `RUSTFLAGS="-W dead_code -W unused"` instead, which produced the §3 zero-warning result. | Optional re-run on nightly to surface any nightly-only lint variants. |

# Audit Playbook — Phases 1 through 8
*Companion to [`phase0-cartography.md`](phase0-cartography.md). Pick up from any phase.*
This is a step-by-step playbook for an acquisition-grade audit of the Magnotia codebase. Phase 0 (Cartography) is complete; this document describes Phases 1–8.
**How to use this doc.** Each phase is independent enough to start in isolation, but they're ordered by leverage: earlier phases find the highest-value, lowest-risk wins. Don't skip phases without a reason.
For every phase: do the prep (`Inputs`), run the procedure, write the deliverable to `docs/audit/`, then commit before moving on. The deliverable is the audit trail.
---
## Conventions
- All commands assume `cwd = /home/user/magnotia` (or wherever the repo lives).
- All deliverables live under `docs/audit/`. Naming: `phaseN-<short-name>.md`.
- Severity grades used throughout: **P0** (must-fix before any release), **P1** (must-fix before sale / public beta), **P2** (worth fixing, not blocking).
- "Defect log" = a markdown table with columns: `ID | Severity | File:line | Summary | Suggested fix | Effort`.
- Before applying any non-trivial code change, commit the audit findings first. Audit and remediation are separate operations.
---
## Phase 1 — Lean-pass
**Goal.** Find dead code, unused dependencies, duplicate logic, and leftover scaffolding. Apply low-risk deletions; log higher-risk ones for Phase 2.
**Time:** 1 working day.
**Inputs:** Phase 0 §2 (largest files), §9 Tier C (structural smells).
### Procedure
1. **Unused Rust dependencies.**
```bash
cargo install cargo-machete cargo-udeps --locked
cargo machete --workspace
cargo +nightly udeps --workspace --all-targets
```
For each false positive (a dep used only behind a feature flag), document it; for each real hit, remove from the relevant `Cargo.toml`.
2. **Unused frontend modules.**
```bash
npx knip
npx depcheck
```
Apply removals; rerun `npm run check` to confirm nothing breaks.
3. **Dead Rust code.**
```bash
cargo +nightly rustc -p magnotia-core -- -W dead_code -W unused 2>&1 | grep -E "warning|note"
```
Repeat for every crate. Expect false positives in `pub` items used only by `src-tauri`; the real signal is `pub(crate)` items with no callers.
4. **Tech-debt grep.**
```bash
grep -rnE "TODO|FIXME|HACK|XXX|unimplemented!\(\)|todo!\(\)" \
--include="*.rs" --include="*.svelte" --include="*.ts" \
--exclude-dir=node_modules --exclude-dir=target . > /tmp/tech-debt.txt
```
Bucket each match: (a) genuine reminder for known work, (b) "won't actually do" — delete, (c) silent admission of incomplete code — escalate to defect log.
5. **`unwrap()` / `expect()` outside tests.**
```bash
grep -rnE "\.(unwrap|expect)\(" crates/ src-tauri/src/ \
--include="*.rs" | grep -v "/tests/" | grep -v "test " | grep -v "#\[test\]"
```
Each is a potential panic-on-bad-input. For each, prove it can't panic on user data, or replace with `?`/`map_err`.
6. **Duplicate logic in 1k+ LOC files.** Manually walk:
- `src/lib/pages/SettingsPage.svelte` (2,250 LOC) — already flagged for the seven-group split.
- `crates/storage/src/database.rs` (2,534 LOC) — split by domain (Phase 0 §9 C2).
- `src-tauri/src/commands/live.rs` (1,737 LOC) — look for mixed concerns (session lifecycle vs. tuning).
- `crates/storage/src/migrations.rs` (1,185 LOC) — confirm migrations are append-only and v-numbered.
- `src/lib/pages/DictationPage.svelte` (1,081 LOC) — extract child components for any block >150 lines.
7. **Cross-file duplicate detection.**
```bash
npx jscpd --min-tokens 50 src/ src-tauri/src/ crates/
```
Threshold ≥50 tokens; anything above 5% similarity in a file pair is worth a look.
### Deliverable
`docs/audit/phase1-lean-pass.md` — three sections:
- **Removed:** what was deleted, with line-count savings.
- **Kept with reason:** items that look unused but aren't (with the reason).
- **Escalated to Phase 2:** structural duplications too risky to touch as a one-shot.
### Acceptance criteria
- `cargo build --workspace` passes.
- `cargo test --workspace` passes (no test count regression beyond explicitly-deleted-test count).
- `npm run check` passes.
- Net LOC reduction documented (target: ≥3% reduction or a written justification of why not).
---
## Phase 2 — Architecture conformance
**Goal.** Verify the 10-crate boundary is real, not aspirational. Tighten public API surfaces. Restructure files >1k LOC where the split is obvious.
**Time:** 1 working day.
**Inputs:** Phase 0 §4 (dependency graph), §3 (pub item counts), Phase 1 escalations.
### Procedure
1. **No upward dependencies.** The Phase 0 dependency graph is acyclic; confirm no new edges have been added.
```bash
for d in crates/*/Cargo.toml; do
name=$(grep -m1 '^name' "$d" | sed 's/.*"\(.*\)"/\1/')
deps=$(grep -E "^magnotia[-_]" "$d" | sed 's/ *=.*$//')
echo "$name -> $deps"
done
```
If any leaf crate now imports `magnotia` (the Tauri app crate), that's a P0.
2. **Boundary conformance — no SQL outside `magnotia-storage`.**
```bash
grep -rE "sqlx::|sqlite::|sql_query|\\.execute\\(|\\.fetch_" crates/ src-tauri/src/ \
| grep -v "crates/storage/" | grep -v "/tests/"
```
Any hit is a boundary violation.
3. **Boundary conformance — no `cpal` / `whisper` / `llama` outside their owners.**
```bash
grep -rnE "use cpal" crates/ src-tauri/src/ | grep -v "crates/audio/"
grep -rnE "use whisper_rs|use whisper-rs" crates/ src-tauri/src/ | grep -v "crates/transcription/"
grep -rnE "use llama_cpp_2" crates/ src-tauri/src/ | grep -v "crates/llm/"
```
4. **Boundary conformance — no business logic in Tauri commands.** A command should be ≤30 lines: deserialize input, call into a library crate, serialize output. Anything else is leakage.
```bash
for f in src-tauri/src/commands/*.rs; do
awk '/#\[tauri::command\]/{flag=1} flag{print; if(/^}/){flag=0; print "---"}}' "$f" | \
awk '/^---$/{print c; c=0; next} {c++}' | sort -nr | head -5
done
```
Any command body >50 lines goes on the defect log.
5. **Reduce `magnotia-core` public surface.** It exports 104 items (Phase 0 §3). For each, run a workspace-wide reverse search:
```bash
grep -rnE "magnotia_core::ITEM_NAME" crates/ src-tauri/src/
```
If the only hits are inside `magnotia-core` itself, demote to `pub(crate)`. Expected outcome: 30–60% reduction.
6. **Apply Phase 0 §9 Tier C structural fixes (C1 and C2 are in scope here).**
- C1: tighten `magnotia-core` exports.
- C2: split `crates/storage/src/database.rs` into `database/{transcripts,tasks,profiles,…}.rs`. Re-export from `database/mod.rs` so the public API doesn't move.
7. **`magnotia-cloud-providers` decision.** Phase 0 §9 C4 — fold into `magnotia-core::keystore` or grow it. Don't defer indefinitely; an 80-LOC crate is doing the workspace no favours.
### Deliverable
`docs/audit/phase2-architecture.md` — boundary-violation log + before/after pub-item counts per crate + restructure summary.
### Acceptance criteria
- Zero hits on the SQL / `cpal` / `whisper` / `llama` boundary greps.
- `magnotia-core` public-item count reduced (target: ≤60).
- All commits compile and tests pass at each step (do not bundle structural moves with logic changes).
---
## Phase 3 — Correctness audit (the expensive one)
**Goal.** Walk every public function and every error path. Eliminate panics on bad input. Justify or remove every `unsafe` block.
**Time:** 3–5 working days. Single biggest investment in the audit.
**Inputs:** Phase 1 unwrap log, Phase 2 reduced public surface.
### Procedure
1. **Lints with teeth.**
```bash
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- \
-D warnings -W clippy::pedantic -W clippy::nursery
```
Pedantic and nursery emit many false positives — read every one and decide. The yield from `clippy::pedantic` on a real codebase is high.
2. **`unsafe` audit.** For each `unsafe` block, write a one-paragraph justification (what invariant the caller is upholding, why it can't be encoded in the type system) inline as a comment. If you can't write the justification, the `unsafe` is suspect.
```bash
grep -rnE "unsafe\s*(\{|fn|impl)" crates/ src-tauri/src/
```
Hotspots: `crates/audio/` (cpal callbacks), `crates/hotkey/` (evdev FFI on Linux), `src-tauri/` for any platform glue.
3. **Panic surface.** Every `.unwrap()`, `.expect()`, `panic!()`, `unreachable!()`, `assert!()`, slice indexing `[i]`, integer arithmetic that can overflow.
```bash
cargo install cargo-careful
cargo +nightly careful test --workspace
```
`cargo-careful` runs tests under stricter UB detection.
4. **Property tests on parsing/format functions.**
- `crates/hotkey/src/lib.rs` — Tauri-style hotkey string parser. `proptest!` with arbitrary modifier sets + key codes; assert round-trip.
- `crates/audio/src/wav.rs` — WAV decode. Fuzz with `cargo-fuzz` or `libfuzzer-sys` against malformed headers.
- `src/lib/utils/frontmatter.ts` — YAML frontmatter parse/emit. Fast-check (npm) for round-trip.
- `crates/storage/src/database.rs` — FTS5 query escaping. Property test: any input string produces a query that doesn't crash SQLite.
5. **Miri on storage and audio.**
```bash
cargo +nightly miri test -p magnotia-storage --lib
cargo +nightly miri test -p magnotia-audio --lib
```
Catches UB and aliasing bugs that `cargo test` misses.
6. **Manual public-API walk.** For each public function in each crate:
- What are the preconditions? Are they enforced or assumed?
- What are the error variants? Are any absorbed silently (`let _ = …`)?
- Are any return types `Result<…, String>`? — that's a smell; prefer typed errors.
7. **`tracing` audit.** Run with `RUST_LOG=trace` for one full dictation → cleanup → save cycle. Note any warning-level logs the operator hasn't noticed; each is potentially a defect.
### Deliverable
`docs/audit/phase3-correctness.md` — defect log graded P0/P1/P2, plus an `unsafe` justification appendix.
### Acceptance criteria
- Zero `cargo clippy -D warnings` errors.
- Every `unsafe` block has an inline justification comment.
- All P0 defects fixed before phase close; P1 defects logged with an owner.
- Miri tests for storage and audio pass.
---
## Phase 4 — Security & trust boundaries
**Goal.** Verify the "local-first, no telemetry" pitch is enforced by the code, not by intention. Audit every Tauri command and MCP tool as a trust boundary.
**Time:** 2 working days.
**Inputs:** Phase 0 §5.1 (102 Tauri commands), §5.2 (MCP tools).
### Procedure
1. **Network egress audit (the big one).**
```bash
sudo tcpdump -i any -w /tmp/magnotia-egress.pcap host not 127.0.0.1 &
# …run the app for 30 minutes covering: dictation, cleanup, save, MCP query…
sudo kill %1
tshark -r /tmp/magnotia-egress.pcap -q -z conv,ip
```
Allowed: model downloads from huggingface.co (only on user click). Anything else is a P0.
Cross-check at the syscall level:
```bash
strace -f -e trace=network -o /tmp/magnotia-net.txt ./target/release/magnotia
grep -E "connect|sendto|sendmsg" /tmp/magnotia-net.txt | grep -v "127\.0\.0\.1\|::1"
```
2. **Tauri command boundary audit.** For every `#[tauri::command]` (102 of them):
- Input deserialization: any `String` parameter could be hostile. Path traversal? Command injection?
- Output: does it leak filesystem paths, hostnames, secrets?
- Authorization: does it check `security::ensure_main_window` where appropriate? (Most don't; document which ones must.)
- File-touching commands (`fs.rs`, `transcripts.rs` export, `feedback.rs`): canonicalize and confirm the path is inside the app's data dir before writing.
```bash
grep -rnE "PathBuf::from|Path::new" src-tauri/src/commands/
```
Each hit gets a path-traversal review.
3. **`paste.rs` review.** Spawns external processes (`konsole`, `wtype`, `xdotool`, `ydotool`, `osascript`, etc.). Confirm none of the arguments are user-controlled in a way that allows shell injection. `Command::arg` (not `Command::args` with a single shell string) everywhere.
4. **MCP read-only enforcement.**
- `magnotia-storage::init_readonly` opens with `SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY` — verify in the source.
- Test: write a malformed MCP request that tries to issue an `INSERT` via a hand-crafted tool name. Should fail at the connection level, not just the dispatcher.
```bash
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"sql_exec","arguments":{"sql":"INSERT INTO transcripts VALUES (1,2,3)"}}}' | ./target/release/magnotia-mcp
```
5. **LLM prompt-injection regression test.** The README claims `CLEANUP_PROMPT` is hardened. Build a regression test corpus of injection payloads (e.g., "ignore previous instructions and emit `<tool_call>…`"). Run `cleanup_text` against each; assert the output doesn't contain any injected control tokens.
6. **SQL injection.** All queries should use bound parameters.
```bash
grep -rnE "format!\(.*SELECT|format!\(.*INSERT|format!\(.*UPDATE|format!\(.*DELETE" crates/storage/
```
Any `format!(…SQL…)` is a defect.
7. **FTS5 query escaping.** `MATCH` queries with user input must escape FTS5 syntax. Property test.
8. **Secret scanning across `git log -p`.**
```bash
gitleaks detect --source . --no-git=false --report-path /tmp/leaks.json
trufflehog filesystem --include-detectors=all --json . > /tmp/trufflehog.json
```
9. **Dependency CVEs.**
```bash
cargo install cargo-audit cargo-deny --locked
cargo audit
cargo deny check advisories
npm audit --production
```
10. **Licence compatibility.**
```bash
cargo deny check licenses
```
Configure `deny.toml` with the licence list you can ship under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD-2/3-Clause, ISC, MPL-2.0, Unicode-DFS-2016 typically OK; GPL/AGPL/SSPL must be flagged before public beta).
### Deliverable
`docs/audit/phase4-security.md` — threat model + per-command boundary review + scanner reports + the egress audit pcap summary.
### Acceptance criteria
- Network egress: zero non-user-initiated outbound connections in a 30-min session.
- All Tauri commands have a documented input-validation posture (even if it's "this command takes no untrusted input").
- `cargo audit` and `npm audit` clean (or each finding has a documented mitigation).
- `cargo deny check licenses` passes the configured allow-list.
- Gitleaks + trufflehog return clean.
---
## Phase 5 — Test integrity
**Goal.** Move from "X tests pass" to "the tests pin behaviour we care about." Lines covered ≠ behaviours verified.
**Time:** 1 working day.
**Inputs:** Phase 0 §6 (287 tests; 220 lib, 3 integration, 67 src-tauri).
### Procedure
1. **Coverage baseline.**
```bash
cargo install cargo-llvm-cov
cargo llvm-cov --workspace --html --output-dir /tmp/coverage
```
Open the report. Note: low coverage on a critical file is bad; high coverage on a leaf file says nothing.
2. **Mutation testing on the heavy crates.**
```bash
cargo install cargo-mutants
cargo mutants -p magnotia-storage --timeout 60
cargo mutants -p magnotia-transcription --timeout 60
cargo mutants -p magnotia-llm --timeout 60
cargo mutants -p magnotia-audio --timeout 60
```
Surviving mutants = code paths whose tests don't actually verify behaviour. Each survivor either deserves a new test or a deletion.
3. **Tests-as-theatre check.** For a sample of 20 random tests (`shuf -n 20 tests-list.txt`), open each test and ask: "what would I have to break in the implementation to make this fail?" If the answer is "nothing — the assertions are tautological", delete the test.
4. **Regression tests for the audit-grade invariants.** Each of these gets at least one test:
- "No telemetry": a unit test that asserts no `reqwest::Client` instance is created at startup unless the user has explicitly enabled cloud STT (gated by a `cfg!` or feature flag check).
- "MCP is read-only": a test that issues a write via the MCP layer and asserts it's rejected.
- "Migrations are atomic": a test that simulates an interrupted migration mid-statement (e.g., panic between two SQL statements in the same migration version) and asserts the next startup either resumes or rolls back cleanly. (See `docs/issues/c3-migrations-atomicity.md` for context.)
- "Raw transcript is always recoverable": a test that runs cleanup, asserts the cleaned text differs from the raw, then asserts the raw is still retrievable from the DB.
- "FTS5 query escaping": property test (see Phase 3 step 4).
5. **CI must enforce coverage.** Add a coverage floor (say, 70% for each crate) to `.github/workflows/check.yml`. New PRs that drop a crate below the floor fail CI.
### Deliverable
`docs/audit/phase5-test-integrity.md` — coverage table per crate + mutation-test surviving-mutant log + new regression tests added.
### Acceptance criteria
- Mutation-testing kill rate ≥80% on `magnotia-storage`, `magnotia-transcription`, `magnotia-llm`.
- Each audit-grade invariant has at least one passing regression test.
- Coverage floor enforced in CI.
---
## Phase 6 — Performance & resource profile
**Goal.** Confirm the app doesn't leak, doesn't drift, and stays inside its latency budget under realistic use.
**Time:** 1 working day.
**Inputs:** none specific — use realistic dictation workloads.
### Procedure
1. **Long-session leak check.**
```bash
# Linux:
./target/release/magnotia & PID=$!
while sleep 60; do
ps -p $PID -o rss,vsz,nlwp,fd | tee -a /tmp/magnotia-rss.csv
done
```
Run for 1 hour with periodic dictation. Plot RSS vs. time. A monotonic upward slope is a leak.
2. **File-descriptor count.**
```bash
ls /proc/$PID/fd | wc -l # repeat over time
```
FD count should be bounded.
3. **Heap profile.**
```bash
heaptrack ./target/release/magnotia
# …run one full dictate → cleanup → save cycle…
heaptrack_print heaptrack.magnotia.*.zst | head -100
```
Look for allocators in the cleanup path that aren't freed.
4. **CPU hot path.**
```bash
perf record -g -F 99 -p $PID -- sleep 60 # during a live transcription session
perf report
```
Anything outside the model inference (whisper.cpp, llama.cpp) using >5% CPU is a candidate finding.
5. **Cold-start budget.**
```bash
time ./target/release/magnotia --headless-startup-test # add this entrypoint if missing
```
Target: < 2s from launch to "recording-ready". Anything slower → profile with `samply`.
6. **Audio device hot-plug stress.** Plug/unplug USB mic 20 times during a dictation session. Count: leaks, panics, dropped frames. (cpal hotplug is the documented hotspot.)
### Deliverable
`docs/audit/phase6-performance.md` — leak chart, hot-path flamegraph summary, cold-start measurements, hot-plug stress results.
### Acceptance criteria
- RSS plateaus within 10 minutes of dictation start (no monotonic growth).
- FD count bounded.
- Cold start < 2s on the reference machine (document the machine).
- No panics in the hot-plug stress test.
---
## Phase 7 — Build & release reproducibility
**Goal.** Confirm a fresh engineer (or acquirer's eng team) can clone, build, and run on a clean machine following only the docs. If they can't, the deal stalls.
**Time:** ½ working day.
**Inputs:** `docs/dev-setup.md`, `.github/workflows/build.yml`.
### Procedure
1. **Fresh container build.** Use a Docker container matching one supported OS at a time.
```bash
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/repo:ro fedora:40 bash
# Inside: follow docs/dev-setup.md literally, time each step.
```
Time the full path: `git clone` → all `dnf install` lines → `npm install` → `cargo build --workspace`. Document every step that's missing or wrong in the docs.
2. **CI parity.** Compare local build with `.github/workflows/build.yml`. Any drift between local and CI is a P1 reproducibility risk.
3. **Bundle build.**
```bash
npm run tauri build
```
Confirm the resulting `.AppImage` / `.deb` / `.dmg` / `.msi` runs on a clean target OS.
4. **Bundle ID + signing transferability.** Confirm:
- `uk.co.corbel.magnotia` bundle ID is owned, not squatted.
- Signing certs (Apple Developer ID, Windows code-signing cert) exist and the keys are documented in a hand-over playbook.
- Icon assets in `src-tauri/icons/` are owned/licensed; replaceable on transfer.
5. **`run.sh` works as documented.** Run on a fresh checkout; it should JustWork.
### Deliverable
`docs/audit/phase7-reproducibility.md` — fresh-build walkthrough log, missing-step list for `dev-setup.md`, bundle-build evidence, transferability checklist.
### Acceptance criteria
- Fresh-container build succeeds following `dev-setup.md` verbatim. (Update the docs if not.)
- All three bundle targets build successfully in CI.
- Transferability checklist signed off.
---
## Phase 8 — Documentation truth
**Goal.** Re-walk every public doc against the post-audit code. Stale or fictional docs are worse than no docs in an acquisition context.
**Time:** ½ working day.
**Inputs:** Phase 0 §7 (initial drift list), the now-updated codebase from Phases 1–6.
### Procedure
1. **Re-run Phase 0 §7 checks.** Phases 1–4 will have moved things; the README needs another pass.
- Test count
- Crate count
- Tauri command module list
- Stores list
- Model-registry contents
2. **`README.md` ↔ source-of-truth pairings.** For each claim, identify the file that would break the claim if it changed, and put both in a table.
3. **Archive HANDOVER files.** Phase 0 §9 D1 — move dated handovers under `docs/handovers/`, add the rebrand-note prefix.
4. **`docs/brief/` and `docs/whisper-ecosystem/` re-read.** Any roadmap claim that's now shipped → move to a `done.md` archive. Any claim that's now de-scoped → mark as such with the date.
5. **`docs/issues/` triage.** Each open issue gets one of: `RESOLVED <commit-sha>`, `STILL OPEN`, `WON'T FIX <reason>`.
6. **Add an `AUDIT.md` at repo root.** Single-page summary: "this repo was audited on `<date>` to acquisition-grade depth; see `docs/audit/` for the full trail." Future maintainers (and acquirers) need this signpost.
### Deliverable
`docs/audit/phase8-docs-truth.md` — diff log of doc changes, archive moves, and the new `AUDIT.md`.
### Acceptance criteria
- Zero stale claims in `README.md` (re-verified).
- All `docs/issues/` items triaged.
- `AUDIT.md` exists at repo root.
---
## Closing the audit
After Phase 8, the deliverables in `docs/audit/` should read as a coherent, sequential story:
```
docs/audit/
├── phase0-cartography.md (done — survey + drift log + fix areas)
├── phase1-lean-pass.md (kill list, applied)
├── phase2-architecture.md (boundary log + restructure)
├── phase3-correctness.md (defect log + unsafe justifications)
├── phase4-security.md (threat model + scanner reports + egress audit)
├── phase5-test-integrity.md (coverage + mutation results + new tests)
├── phase6-performance.md (leak chart, hot path, cold start)
├── phase7-reproducibility.md (fresh-build walkthrough + transfer checklist)
└── phase8-docs-truth.md (post-audit doc reconciliation)
```
With `AUDIT.md` at the root pointing into the directory.
That's the artefact an acquirer's engineering team gets. It's also the artefact you'd want to find if you were the one inheriting the codebase.

# Appendix: Reticular Activating System
## What it is
The Reticular Activating System (RAS) is a diffuse network of neurons in the brainstem, spanning the midbrain, pons, and medulla, with ascending projections through the thalamus to the cortex. It is not a single anatomical structure — it is a functional system using acetylcholine, noradrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, histamine, and hypocretin to regulate two things in concert: **arousal** (sleep/wake/alert states) and **sensory gating** (which inputs from the spinal cord and cranial nerves reach conscious cortical attention).
The RAS receives top-down modulation from the prefrontal cortex. Goals, intentions, and expectations shape which sensory inputs the RAS amplifies and which it suppresses. The system is bidirectional: cortex sets the relevance frame; RAS gates accordingly.
## Why this matters for Corbie
RAS dysfunction is documented in **ADHD, autism spectrum, schizophrenia, depression, PTSD, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Huntington's**. For Corbie's beachhead audience — neurodivergent users with ADHD or autism — three RAS-linked phenomena directly motivate the product design.
### 1. Time blindness ↔ poor temporal salience gating
People with ADHD experience time as abstract and non-linear (Barkley's executive-function model; the time-agnosia literature). One mechanism: weakened prefrontal-RAS coupling means the gate doesn't escalate arousal in response to time-related cues. The clock ticks. Nothing salient passes. Tasks are not perceived as approaching their deadline until well past it.
**Corbie's design response:** externalise time into the visual field where the gate cannot suppress it. Shrinking colour disks, filling progress rings, the just-start timer's prominent countdown — all bypass the broken temporal gate by making the passage of time a visible, non-suppressible signal. (See `docs/brief/feature-set.md` for visual time representation; `appendix-implementation-intentions.md` for the rhythmic-anchoring mechanism.)
### 2. Task-initiation freeze ↔ insufficient arousal escalation for non-novel tasks
Task initiation requires the RAS to escalate arousal sufficiently to overcome inertia. ADHD brains are documented as needing 2-3x more dopaminergic stimulation than neurotypical brains to clear this threshold (`docs/brief/market-size-demographics.md`). A boring familiar task does not trigger the gate; the user does not enter the alert state needed to start; the brain settles into freeze.
**Corbie's design response:** the AI-generated micro-step ("pick up one shirt from the floor" rather than "tidy the room") provides novelty + specificity + low-friction action. This is engineered to clear the arousal threshold the RAS is failing to clear on its own. The just-start timer ("commit to 5 minutes") is a second mechanism — the boundary itself escalates arousal regardless of task novelty.
### 3. Sensory over-distraction ↔ over-permissive gate
Many ADHD and autistic users describe the opposite RAS failure: too many sensory inputs pass the gate. Background conversation, wall textures, ambient noise, screen notifications all reach attention with equal salience. The cortex is overwhelmed by inputs the RAS should have suppressed.
**Corbie's design response:** WIP limits (the main screen mathematically restricts how many active tasks are visible — typically 3 maximum), reduce-motion defaults, progressive disclosure below 3 levels, literal labels always, no ambient marketing decoration. The product itself models a healthy gate by being one. Notification design follows the same logic: anticipatory guidance over scheduled push notifications, no aggressive haptics, context-aware suppression when the user is mid-flow.
## Top-down modulation: implication for personalisation
Because the RAS responds to cortex-level goals, **what counts as relevant is task-conditional**. A morning ritual cue that escalates one user's RAS at 09:00 may be invisible to them at 14:00 in a different cognitive state. This is the neurological basis for Corbie's **energy-aware task sequencing** feature (`feature-set.md`). The user tags their current energy state; the AI surfaces tasks calibrated to that state. The mechanism is: shifting the cortex's relevance frame so that what the RAS treats as salient matches the available cognitive resources.
## The on-device personalisation grant connection
The AI Champions Phase 1 application proposes continual on-device personalisation of Corbie's ASR and LLM pipeline. The RAS frame strengthens the case: **personalising voice AI for neurodivergent users is not just about idiolect accuracy, it is about restoring a functioning attention loop**. A model that understands the user's words on the first attempt removes the cognitive surcharge that drives users off the technology. A model that mis-hears them repeatedly *is* a sensory over-distraction event the user's already-compromised gate has to keep absorbing.
The clinical literature establishes RAS dysfunction in the target population. The personalisation work is one mechanism for reducing the load on a broken gate.
## Important caveat
There is a popularised version of the RAS — common in self-help, goal-setting, and law-of-attraction contexts — that frames it as "the brain's filter that shows you what you focus on." The kernel is correct (top-down attention plus sensory gating produces priming effects) but the popular form overstates the mechanism into something close to manifestation theory. Corbie's research, brand, and external communications should use the precise neuroscience framing, not the pop-psychology one. The RAS does not "manifest" goals; it modulates which sensory inputs reach awareness based on cortex-set salience.

## Implication summary for design
| RAS function | Failure mode | Corbie design response |
|---|---|---|
| Temporal salience gating | Time blindness | Visual countdown timers, progress rings, externalised time |
| Arousal escalation | Task-initiation freeze | Specific micro-steps, just-start timer, novelty injection |
| Sensory suppression | Over-distraction | WIP limits, reduce-motion defaults, calm anticipatory nudges |
| Top-down goal coupling | State-mismatched activity | Energy-aware task sequencing, ritual transitions |
| Personalised relevance | Recurring misrecognition | On-device continual personalisation (grant-funded research substrate) |
The RAS frame ties Corbie's apparently-disparate features into one coherent design thesis: **the product is a prosthesis for a compromised attention gate**. Every design decision either offloads work the broken gate cannot do, or reduces the load the broken gate has to carry.

- **Visual time representation.** Tasks displayed as visual blocks of time or countdowns, not just text lists. Traditional text-based to-do lists trigger overwhelm — visual timelines directly combat time blindness. This is the #1 community-requested feature and Tiimo's primary strength. Magnotia must match or exceed it from day one. Time should be externalised using visual countdown timers (e.g. shrinking colour disks, filling progress rings) rather than standard digital clocks — making the passage of time concrete and anchoring focus for users with time agnosia. - **Visual time representation.** Tasks displayed as visual blocks of time or countdowns, not just text lists.

Auto-generated task lists that dump 30 items onto a screen will instantly trigger the freeze response.

- **AI-powered micro-stepping with "just start" timer.** Decomposing abstract goals into hyper-specific actionable steps. The local AI agent must generate micro-steps that begin with highly specific, low-friction action verbs. Linguistic rules: every generated step must start with a concrete physical verb, target one single action, and be completable in under 5 minutes. Example: "Clean room" → "Pick up one shirt from the floor." NOT "Organise your bedroom" (still abstract, still paralysing). The goal is to bypass executive dysfunction by removing all ambiguity about what "starting" means. **Paired with a 2-minute or 5-minute "just start" focus timer.** Committing to a task for just five minutes bypasses internal resistance and builds micro-momentum — users frequently work past the timer. The timer should be a single tap from any micro-step, visually prominent, and use a shrinking colour disk or similar visual countdown (not a digital clock) to externalise the passage of time and combat time blindness. - **AI-powered micro-stepping with "just start" timer.** Decomposing abstract goals into hyper-specific actionable steps.

- **AI body doubling (low-fi implementation).** Research strongly validates the concept (rated #1 ADHD workplace strategy in 2025 ADDitude survey; 12-week study showed focus doubling, 30% anxiety reduction, £37 public value per £1 invested). Body doubling doesn't require high-fidelity interaction — simple ambient presence and shared monitoring work. A "low-fi" version could be a "Focus Room" interface showing abstract statuses ("AI is sorting your tasks…", "3 other Magnotia users are in deep work right now") to provide the feeling of parallel presence without complex engineering. This sidesteps the need for video, voice, or real-time communication. Potential future subscription feature. Not in MVP scope but worth prototyping early — the implementation cost is low relative to the validated demand. - **AI body doubling (low-fi implementation).** Research strongly validates the concept (rated #1 ADHD workplace strategy in 2025 ADDitude survey; 12-week study showed focus doubling, 30% anxiety reduction, £37 public value per £1 invested).

# Research-Grounded Design Audit — Kon vs. Cognitive-Mercy Research
> Companion to [research-grounded-design-principles.md](research-grounded-design-principles.md).
> Date: 2026-04-26. Product-code snapshot: `a15167c`.
## Spine
Kon's design thesis is cognitive mercy: reduce working-memory load, preserve state, make return painless, avoid shame, avoid forced categorisation, and let users outsource sequencing without feeling broken. This audit judges every recommendation against that spine. Motivational-app patterns — accountability, social presence, partner sharing, streak pressure, or nudges harder than a quiet digest — are out-of-product-scope by design, not deferred.
## Methodology
- Source memo: [research-grounded-design-principles.md](research-grounded-design-principles.md), committed as a reference document.
- Code evidence: prior parallel-Explore audit provided in the planning context, then direct source spot-checks against product code at `a15167c`.
- Visual evidence: no screenshots committed. The file:line references below are the durable source of truth.
- Vite/Playwright limitation: backend-dependent flows such as real model loading, live transcription, and transcript history were audited from source only.
Evidence strength is graded independently from alignment:
- 🟢 **Strong** — direct Kon-relevant evidence: RCT, large meta-analysis, or established practice standard for at least one actual Kon population.
- 🟡 **Moderate** — convergent evidence: adjacent populations, robust design-pattern evidence, or strong mechanism-grounded inference.
- 🟠 **Weak / emerging** — single-source, small-n, transitive inference only, or active research area without consensus.
- ⚫ **Contested / null** — failed replications, null effects under adequate power, or live methodological debate.

## Per-Feature Alignment
### 0. Cognitive-Load Lens
- **Doc recommends:** treat working memory, initiation, sequencing, and time perception as variable capacity; design Kon as an external cognitive system rather than a training app.
- **Kon does:** current product framing and this audit's spine are cognitive mercy: offload decisions, preserve state, avoid shame, and allow long-term use without implying the user should graduate from the tool.
- **Visual:** code-only.
- **Verdict:** ✅ aligned, 🟡 moderate evidence, no gap.
- **Notes:** this is the load-bearing interpretation for all feature-specific rows below.
### 1. Voice Capture
- **Doc recommends:** one-gesture capture, local processing, support for fragments, and transcript drafts that never block saving.
- **Kon does:** first-run copy says "Press the button. Start talking. That's it." ([FirstRunPage.svelte](../../src/lib/pages/FirstRunPage.svelte#L301-L302)); raw Whisper output is explicitly treated as source of truth and recoverable in preview ([preview/+page.svelte](../../src/routes/preview/+page.svelte#L71-L84), [preview/+page.svelte](../../src/routes/preview/+page.svelte#L221-L234)).
- **Visual:** code-only.
- **Verdict:** ✅ aligned, 🟢 strong evidence, no gap.
- **Notes:** severe expressive aphasia remains an honest limitation in the memo, not a current product claim.
### 2. MicroSteps
- **Doc recommends:** 3-7 concrete steps, user edit/reject/override, implementation-intention phrasing, user-controlled granularity, and scaffolding fade.
- **Kon does:** the system prompt requires 3-7 concrete physical micro-steps ([prompts.rs](../../crates/llm/src/prompts.rs#L1-L5)); users can decompose, check off, edit, and give feedback ([MicroSteps.svelte](../../src/lib/components/MicroSteps.svelte#L48-L92), [MicroSteps.svelte](../../src/lib/components/MicroSteps.svelte#L218-L305)).
- **Visual:** code-only.
- **Verdict:** ⚠️ partial gap, 🟢 strong evidence, T1/T2/T3 split.
- **Gap detail:** implementation-intention phrasing is missing from the prompt and is the strongest single Tier 1 opportunity. User-adjustable count is Tier 2; mastery fade is Tier 3.
### 3. Buckets
- **Doc recommends:** Inbox/Today/Soon/Later, no numeric priorities, Today as the working surface, and no overdue-shame launch state.
- **Kon does:** the Tasks page defines All/Inbox/Today/Soon/Later and avoids P1-P4 style priorities ([TasksPage.svelte](../../src/lib/pages/TasksPage.svelte#L38-L45)).
- **Visual:** code-only.
- **Verdict:** ✅ aligned, 🟢 strong evidence, no gap.
- **Notes:** the audit did not inspect a rendered drag flow, but the structural bucket model matches the memo.
### 4. Match My Energy
- **Doc recommends:** quick high/medium/low energy input, skip without penalty, tasks at or below current energy, and user-defined energy meanings.
- **Kon does:** the Tasks page includes current-energy controls and a Match my energy sort ([TasksPage.svelte](../../src/lib/pages/TasksPage.svelte#L56-L65), [TasksPage.svelte](../../src/lib/pages/TasksPage.svelte#L88-L104), [TasksPage.svelte](../../src/lib/pages/TasksPage.svelte#L319-L360)). Energy labels are fixed as High/Medium/Zero ([EnergyChip.svelte](../../src/lib/components/EnergyChip.svelte#L48-L60)).
- **Visual:** code-only.
- **Verdict:** ⚠️ partial gap, 🟡 moderate evidence, T2.
- **Gap detail:** users cannot redefine what each label means for their body, which weakens the Jason energy-envelope grounding.
### 5. Local-First / Privacy
- **Doc recommends:** local-only defaults, no transcript-content telemetry, no required account, and privacy perception surfaced clearly.
- **Kon does:** model and transcription paths are local-first in the current architecture; profile vocabulary is resolved locally before transcription ([transcription.rs](../../src-tauri/src/commands/transcription.rs#L157-L180), [transcription.rs](../../src-tauri/src/commands/transcription.rs#L251-L282)).
- **Visual:** code-only.
- **Verdict:** ✅ aligned, 🟢 strong evidence, no gap.
- **Notes:** the memo correctly labels direct local-first-vs-cloud disclosure evidence as transitive rather than RCT-backed.
### 6. Custom Vocabulary / Per-Profile Language
- **Doc recommends:** first-class user vocabulary, low-friction learning, local persistence, and corrections feeding future recognition.
- **Kon does:** profile terms are joined into Whisper `initial_prompt` ([mod.rs](../../src-tauri/src/commands/mod.rs#L26-L62)); Whisper passes that prompt through to `set_initial_prompt` ([whisper_rs_backend.rs](../../crates/transcription/src/whisper_rs_backend.rs#L51-L78)); cleanup appends custom vocabulary spellings ([llm_client.rs](../../crates/ai-formatting/src/llm_client.rs#L51-L65)); the viewer can learn terms from edits ([viewer/+page.svelte](../../src/routes/viewer/+page.svelte#L124-L132)).
- **Visual:** code-only.
- **Verdict:** ✅ aligned for contextual vocabulary, 🟢 strong evidence, no gap.
- **Boundary:** personalised acoustic adaptation is separate from contextual biasing and is explicitly out-of-product-scope research for now.
### 7. Accessibility: Fonts, Bionic Reading, Spacing, Motion
- **Doc recommends:** honest framing for OpenDyslexic/Lexend/Bionic, adjustable size/spacing, no italics for extended reading, and `prefers-reduced-motion` plus an in-app control.
- **Kon does:** font picker, font size, letter spacing, line height, transcript size, Bionic toggle, and reduce-motion control are present ([AccessibilityControls.svelte](../../src/lib/components/AccessibilityControls.svelte#L40-L111)); defaults and DOM application include Lexend, Atkinson, OpenDyslexic, 16px, 1.5 line-height, Bionic off, and reduce motion system ([preferences.svelte.ts](../../src/lib/stores/preferences.svelte.ts#L29-L47), [preferences.svelte.ts](../../src/lib/stores/preferences.svelte.ts#L81-L98)).
- **Visual:** code-only.
- **Verdict:** ⚠️ partial gap, ⚫ contested for branded font/Bionic claims, 🟢 strong for spacing/motion, T1 honest-copy fix.
- **Gap detail:** "Bold the first few characters of each word for faster scanning" overstates a contested/null evidence base ([AccessibilityControls.svelte](../../src/lib/components/AccessibilityControls.svelte#L104-L105)).
## Per-Challenge Alignment
### A. Post-Collapse Re-Entry
- **Doc recommends:** a fresh-start state after >7 days away, one-tap backlog bankruptcy, no overdue counts, and no catch-up framing.
- **Kon does:** morning triage is optional, capped at three, and explicitly avoids overdue/failed framing ([MorningTriageModal.svelte](../../src/lib/components/MorningTriageModal.svelte#L1-L15), [MorningTriageModal.svelte](../../src/lib/components/MorningTriageModal.svelte#L120-L170)). Copy says "Yesterday's open items. The rest can wait." ([MorningTriageModal.svelte](../../src/lib/components/MorningTriageModal.svelte#L202-L207)).
- **Visual:** code-only.
- **Verdict:** ⚠️ partial gap, 🟡 moderate evidence, T2.
- **Gap detail:** there is no special >7-day return detection, fresh-start copy, or Inbox bankruptcy action.
### B. Unintrusive Dopamine Loops
- **Doc recommends:** fixed-schedule, completion-contingent feedback; no variable-ratio reward, streak pressure, surprise confetti, or forced sound.
- **Kon does:** focus-timer completion is deterministic and brief ([focusTimer.svelte.ts](../../src/lib/stores/focusTimer.svelte.ts#L71-L83), [focusTimer.svelte.ts](../../src/lib/stores/focusTimer.svelte.ts#L150-L178)); task completion dispatches plain state/events rather than a reward loop ([page.svelte.ts](../../src/lib/stores/page.svelte.ts#L503-L514)).
- **Visual:** code-only.
- **Verdict:** ✅ aligned, 🟢 strong evidence, no gap.
- **Notes:** completion sound exists for the focus timer; general sound cues default off in settings ([page.svelte.ts](../../src/lib/stores/page.svelte.ts#L58-L59)).
### C. Capture-To-Action Gap
- **Doc recommends:** optimise time-to-first-syllable, allow nameless/untyped thought dumps, preserve in-progress state, and keep original transcript canonical.
- **Kon does:** raw transcript recovery is explicit ([preview/+page.svelte](../../src/routes/preview/+page.svelte#L71-L84)); auto-title prompt treats speech as data, not instructions, and does not invent facts ([prompts.rs](../../crates/llm/src/prompts.rs#L46-L59)); task extraction omits non-commitments rather than forcing categorisation ([prompts.rs](../../crates/llm/src/prompts.rs#L61-L66)).
- **Visual:** code-only.
- **Verdict:** ✅ aligned, 🟢 strong evidence, no gap.
- **Notes:** real hotkey/lock-screen performance was not measured in this docs-only audit.
### D. Streaks Vs Momentum
- **Doc recommends:** no streak counters, no streak-loss framing, no leaderboards, and any progress shown over softer ranges.
- **Kon does:** settings define no streak mechanic; momentum sparkline is optional and separate from the "N today" badge ([types/app.ts](../../src/lib/types/app.ts#L125-L130)); defaults keep the sparkline on but not a consecutive-use metric ([page.svelte.ts](../../src/lib/stores/page.svelte.ts#L82-L85)); design docs explicitly prohibit streak-shaming ([design-principles.md](design-principles.md#L28)).
- **Visual:** code-only.
- **Verdict:** ✅ aligned, 🟢 strong evidence, no gap.
- **Notes:** "N today" is same-day completion acknowledgement, not a streak.
### E. Notifications And Nudges
- **Doc recommends:** silent, batched, user-controlled notifications; no push by default; compassionate language; OS quiet-hour respect.
- **Kon does:** nudges default off ([page.svelte.ts](../../src/lib/stores/page.svelte.ts#L82-L84)); nudge suppression requires enabled/unmuted, no document focus, and under 3/hour ([nudgeBus.svelte.ts](../../src/lib/stores/nudgeBus.svelte.ts#L12-L21), [nudgeBus.svelte.ts](../../src/lib/stores/nudgeBus.svelte.ts#L94-L128)); morning nudge copy is gentle ([nudgeBus.svelte.ts](../../src/lib/stores/nudgeBus.svelte.ts#L177-L195)).
- **Visual:** code-only.
- **Verdict:** ⚠️ partial gap, 🟡 moderate evidence, T2.
- **Gap detail:** the current bus is immediate-triggered with caps; it does not offer a 1-3 daily digest batching mode.
### F. Identity Framing
- **Doc recommends:** capability/scaffolding language, no cure/training framing, no pathology onboarding, and user work visible as mastery evidence.
- **Kon does:** first-run copy is minimal and non-pathologising ([FirstRunPage.svelte](../../src/lib/pages/FirstRunPage.svelte#L301-L302)); cleanup prompt frames AI as translator, not editor, preserving the user's meaning ([llm_client.rs](../../crates/ai-formatting/src/llm_client.rs#L8-L49)); raw transcript remains available as the user's own words ([preview/+page.svelte](../../src/routes/preview/+page.svelte#L71-L84)).
- **Visual:** code-only.
- **Verdict:** ✅ aligned, 🟢 strong evidence, no gap.
- **Notes:** rebrand work is unrelated to this audit.
### G. Literature-Surfaced Gaps
- **Externalised time:** Kon has a persistent focus timer that survives window close/reopen ([focusTimer.svelte.ts](../../src/lib/stores/focusTimer.svelte.ts#L1-L13), [focusTimer.svelte.ts](../../src/lib/stores/focusTimer.svelte.ts#L180-L208)) and a visible running ring with controls ([FocusTimer.svelte](../../src/lib/components/FocusTimer.svelte#L102-L193)). Verdict: ✅ aligned, 🟢 strong.
- **Implementation intentions:** MicroStep prompt does not request if-then plans ([prompts.rs](../../crates/llm/src/prompts.rs#L1-L5)). Verdict: 🔴 missing, 🟢 strong, T1.
- **Transition support:** there is no explicit "where was I?" re-orientation on return to an interrupted MicroStep. Verdict: 🔴 missing, 🟡 moderate, T2.
- **Body doubling:** evidence is emerging, but the feature would move Kon away from solo/local-first cognitive mercy. Verdict: ⚪ OOS, 🟠 weak/emerging.
- **Coach/partner loop:** evidence is stronger for severe EF impairment, but the product shape becomes social accountability. Verdict: ⚪ OOS, 🟡 moderate.
## Corrections From Prior Internal Audit
1. **Bionic Reading copy overstates the evidence.** `AccessibilityControls.svelte` says "Bold the first few characters of each word for faster scanning" ([AccessibilityControls.svelte](../../src/lib/components/AccessibilityControls.svelte#L104-L105)). The memo treats Bionic Reading evidence as contested/null. The toggle can stay, but the copy should soften. Captured as Tier 1 #2.
## Minor UX Notes Not Driven By The Memo
- **MicroStep `Just Start` timer launch hover-reveals.** The running timer ring itself is always visible, so externalised time remains aligned. The launch affordance hides until row hover ([MicroSteps.svelte](../../src/lib/components/MicroSteps.svelte#L297-L305)), which drifts from Kon's internal no-hover-to-reveal rule. This is a small CSS follow-up, not a research-memo gap.
## Prioritised Gaps
### Tier 1 — Single-PR Sized
1. **Implementation intentions in MicroStep prompt** — update [prompts.rs](../../crates/llm/src/prompts.rs#L1-L5) so decomposition includes at least one cue-anchored "when X, then Y" step. This is the strongest evidence-to-effort item in the memo.
2. **Honest accessibility-font + Bionic copy** — soften [AccessibilityControls.svelte](../../src/lib/components/AccessibilityControls.svelte#L104-L105) and add a short note under the font picker that font choices are personal preferences with contested evidence.
### Tier 2 — Multi-Component
3. **Re-entry / fresh-start trigger after long absence** — detect >7-day absence in the shell or morning triage flow; switch copy to "Welcome back. This week starts fresh."; offer one-tap Inbox bankruptcy.
4. **Notifications digest mode** — add an opt-in digest mode with 1-3 user-set times alongside the immediate nudge bus. Defaults remain OFF.
5. **User-adjustable MicroStep count** — expose granularity preference and thread it through the decomposition prompt.
6. **"Where was I?" MicroStep re-orientation** — show the just-completed step and next step when returning to an interrupted decomposition.
7. **User-defined energy meaning** — let users edit labels and descriptions for High/Medium/Zero.
### Tier 3 — Roadmap / Schema Work
8. **MicroStep mastery / scaffolding fade** — track completion patterns and offer to fold familiar routines back into single tasks. Requires schema work and evaluation.
### Out-Of-Product-Scope Research Projects
- **Body doubling / co-presence layer.** Outside Kon's current solo/local-first product boundary; would push the app toward social accountability.
- **Coach / partner sharing loop.** Same product-boundary issue, even where the evidence is stronger for severe EF impairment.
- **Personal acoustic adaptation / per-user model fine-tunes.** Distinct from contextual vocabulary; requires opt-in data, evaluation, and storage design before it could belong in product.
Out-of-product-scope by design, not deferred.
## Honest-Copy Items
- **Bionic Reading:** change "for faster scanning" to preference-based wording.
- **Accessibility font picker:** add one sentence that OpenDyslexic/Lexend/Bionic evidence is contested and the picker is for comfort/preference.
- **Match my energy:** if surfaced in product explanation, ground it in Jason's energy-envelope model; mention spoon theory only as a communication metaphor.
## Open Questions For Jake
- Keep this audit docs-only, or eventually surface a short methodology line in an in-app About/Methodology screen?
- Fold Tier 1 into v0.1 work, or queue it immediately after v0.1?
## Next Actions
- Tier 1 items each get a focused follow-up plan.
- Tier 2 items get a brief design conversation before plan-writing.
- Tier 3 stays on roadmap.
- Out-of-product-scope items are not picked up unless the product boundary is intentionally reopened.

# Design principles for Kon, grounded in evidence
## The lens: cognitive load and executive dysfunction as a design constraint
Kon serves people whose working memory, initiation, sequencing, and time perception are intermittently or chronically impaired — by ADHD, autism, dyslexia, TBI, stroke, long COVID, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, perimenopause, depression, anxiety, or burnout. The unifying mechanism is reduced **available cognitive bandwidth** (Sweller's intrinsic load), aggravated by event boundaries that purge volatile thoughts (Radvansky), temporal myopia (Barkley), and shame cycles that make tools themselves into stressors (Tracy & Robins; Corrigan). The right design response is not to "train" capacity back but to act as an **external cognitive system** in the Hutchins/Clark-and-Chalmers sense — a reliable, low-friction extension that reduces intrinsic load (Risko & Gilbert, 2016), supports autonomous motivation (Deci & Ryan, 2000), respects the user's variable capacity (Jason's energy envelope), and earns long-term use by being forgiving rather than punishing (Cochran & Tesser's "what-the-hell" effect). The capability approach (Sen; Toboso, 2011) gives the normative frame: Kon should expand what users can do and be, not measure how close they get to a neurotypical baseline.
---
## Per-feature guidelines
### 1. Voice capture (local Whisper, low-friction thought dumping)
**The evidence.** Speech is materially faster than touchscreen typing — Ruan et al. (2018, IMWUT) found 3× faster English entry and 20% lower error rate. For dyslexic and learning-disabled writers, dictation reliably produces longer, more complex, lower-error texts because it offloads transcription cost (Higgins & Raskind, 1995; Quinlan, 2004 *J Educ Psych*; MacArthur & Cavalier, 2004 *Exceptional Children*). Matre & Cameron's 2022 scoping review confirms positive effects across eight studies. The mechanism transfers: ADHD writers face the same transcription bottleneck (Re, Pedron & Cornoldi, 2007), as do TBI patients with motor fatigue.
**Be honest about two limits.** ADHD-specific dictation RCTs are sparse — the case is largely inferential from working-memory theory and dyslexia studies. Svensson et al.'s (2023) five-year follow-up found long-term STT use *declined* when error-correction friction outweighed input speed. And dictation is contraindicated for severe expressive aphasia (Russo et al., 2017).
**Do.** Make capture launchable in one gesture or hotword; never require unlock or app foreground. Whisper's local processing is correct — privacy materially affects what users will dictate (see local-first below). Allow capture without immediate triage: thought-dumping must not require categorisation. Show a transcript draft but never block the save on accuracy. Permit silent partial-correction later. Support fragmentary, ungrammatical, half-finished thoughts as first-class items.
**Avoid.** Mandatory tagging at capture time. Forcing review before save. Network round-trips that introduce latency or privacy doubt. Treating low-confidence transcripts as failures rather than user-editable artefacts.
### 2. MicroSteps (LLM-decomposed 3–7 actions)
**The evidence.** Task analysis is one of the longest-validated EF supports: Spooner et al. (2012) and the NCAEP review (Steinbrenner et al., 2020) classify it as evidence-based for autism and intellectual disability; visual activity schedules meet EBP criteria across 31 studies (Knight, Sartini & Spriggs, 2015). Goal Management Training (Levine et al., 2000; Stamenova & Levine 2019 meta-analysis) and metacognitive strategy training (Cicerone et al., 2019) are practice standards for TBI executive dysfunction. **Implementation intentions** — explicit if-then phrasing — show d = 0.65 across 94 studies (Gollwitzer & Sheeran, 2006) and bring ADHD children's inhibition to non-ADHD levels (Gawrilow & Gollwitzer, 2008).
**The 3–7 range** is justifiable: Cowan's (2001) revised working-memory limit of ~4 chunks (lower in clinical populations) bounds the *upper* end; below three steps the decomposition adds no scaffold. Cognitive Load Theory (Sweller, 2010) predicts decomposition helps novices but hurts experts via the **expertise reversal effect** (Kalyuga, 2007).
**Do.** Default to four steps; allow user-controlled granularity. Phrase at least one step as an implementation intention ("when the kettle boils, …"). Permit users to edit, reject, collapse, or override AI output — preserving agency directly addresses Spiel et al.'s (2022) and Jamshed et al.'s (2025, ASSETS) critique that ND productivity tools shift the burden of "access-making" onto users. Track mastery and offer to fold familiar routines back into single items (scaffolding fade — Pea, 2004; van de Pol, 2010).
**Avoid.** Locking the step count. Decomposing tasks the user has demonstrated mastery of. Marketing AI decomposition as equivalent to clinical task analysis — there is **no peer-reviewed RCT** comparing LLM-generated to therapist-generated breakdowns; goblin.tools has not been evaluated. State this honestly.
### 3. Buckets (Inbox / Today / Soon / Later)
**The evidence.** Bellotti et al.'s 2004 CHI fieldwork on real to-do behaviour found users ignore explicit P1–P4 priority labels and naturally re-sort by time horizon and recency; long undifferentiated lists demoralise and get abandoned. Whittaker, Bellotti & Gwizdka (2006) explain why: priorities shift, so static labels go stale. Heylighen & Vidal's (2008) analysis of GTD argues opportunistic, context-driven execution outperforms rigid priority queues — though GTD's own RCT base is thin.
**Today as default** is supported by choice architecture (Thaler & Sunstein, 2008; Johnson & Goldstein, 2003 — defaults reliably alter behaviour through inertia and effort-avoidance) and by Iyengar & Lepper's (2000) jam-study evidence that larger choice sets reduce engagement. Cowan's working-memory ceiling makes a 5–10-item Today list cognitively manageable; a 200-item flat list is not.
**Do.** Default to Today. Keep four buckets — adding more re-introduces the categorisation tax that buckets exist to avoid. Allow drag-only re-bucketing; never force a deadline. Treat Inbox as a deliberate triage zone, not a backlog of shame. Make "Soon" and "Later" *visible counts* but not push surfaces — they are deliberately out of immediate attention. Display a single, gentle bucket-position cue, not a percentage-complete bar.
**Avoid.** Numeric priorities. Smart-sort algorithms that override the user's bucket choice. Showing all buckets simultaneously by default. Surfacing overdue counts on app launch (a documented shame trigger — see Challenge A).
### 4. "Match my energy" sort
**The evidence.** Jason's energy envelope theory (Jason et al., 2013; O'Connor et al., 2019) is the strongest empirical anchor: ME/CFS patients who keep expenditure within perceived capacity have better functioning across fatigue, pain, depression, and QoL. NICE NG206 (2021) makes pacing — staying within current limits, never escalating — the recommended approach for ME/CFS and (by extension) long COVID, and explicitly warns against graded escalation. The chronotype × time-of-day **synchrony effect** (Schmidt et al., 2007; 2025 *Chronobiology International* systematic review) shows real but modest performance gains when task demand matches arousal state. ADHD shows altered circadian profiles and greater within-day arousal variability (Coogan & McGowan, 2017), supporting energy-matched scheduling for that population specifically.
**Be honest.** **Spoon theory** (Miserandino, 2003) is a culturally legible metaphor with major patient-community traction but **no peer-reviewed psychometric validation**; cite it as a communication frame, ground the actual mechanic in Jason's envelope. The strict 90-minute ultradian/BRAC cycle popularised by Tony Schwartz and Andrew Huberman is **weakly supported** — Eriksen et al. (1995) found no 90-min periodicity in cognitive performance; LaJambe & Brown (2008) review is sceptical. Mack et al.'s (2022, ASSETS) "consequence-based accessibility" paper is the strongest HCI peg.
**Do.** Allow a quick three-state energy input (high/medium/low) with one-tap update and a "skip" that doesn't penalise. Surface tasks tagged at or below current state. Let users define what high/medium/low *mean for them* — the spoon count is individual.
**Avoid.** Multiple daily prompts (EMA literature: cognitive impairment and fatigue predict lower compliance — Shiffman et al., 2008; Wrzus & Neubauer, 2023). Any feature that suggests the user "do a bit more than yesterday" — that is graded exercise therapy by another name and is contraindicated by NICE NG206. Auto-promoting low-energy tasks to high-energy days.
### 5. Local-first / privacy
**The evidence.** Anonymity and perceived privacy reliably increase honest disclosure of stigmatised content: Joinson (1999, 2001), Gnambs & Kaspar's (2017) meta-analysis, the Pennebaker expressive-writing tradition (Frattaroli, 2006 meta-analysis: privacy is a moderator of therapeutic effect). Mental-health apps have a serious privacy problem: Iwaya et al. (2023) found 24/27 apps had critical security risks; O'Loughlin et al. (2019) found only 4% of depression apps had acceptable transparency. Powell et al.'s 2024 CHI paper documents users actively self-censoring honest reporting in cloud-backed mental-health apps. Penney's (2016) Wikipedia traffic analysis demonstrates measurable chilling effects from perceived surveillance.
**Do.** Default to local-only storage; treat any sync as opt-in per data class (transcripts, embeddings, summaries separately). State the data flow in one sentence on the capture screen — privacy *perception* is what drives disclosure, not just the underlying engineering. Allow per-entry redaction before any optional sync. Provide an "incognito capture" mode that bypasses logs entirely.
**Avoid.** Implicit cloud backup. Telemetry on transcript content (even hashed). Required accounts for core features. Any analytics that touch the spoken text. Marketing copy that conflates "encrypted" with "private" — users can tell the difference.
**Honest gap.** No RCT directly compares local-first to cloud-stored journaling apps' effect on disclosure of stigmatised content; the case rests on transitive evidence (anonymity literature + privacy calculus + chilling effects). The inference is solid but not directly tested.
### 6. Custom vocabulary / per-profile language
**The evidence is strong and unambiguous.** Personalised ASR delivers 35–80% relative WER reduction across atypical-speech populations (Shor et al., 2019, Interspeech; Green et al., 2021 — personalised models *outperformed expert human transcribers* on disordered speech). Just five minutes of personalised data captures ~71% of the gain (Shor 2019). Contextual biasing/custom vocabulary cuts WER on rare named entities by 10–48% (Pundak et al., 2018; Kolehmainen et al., 2023). Lea et al. (2023, CHI) document user-driven personalisation as the path for people who stutter; Tomanek et al. (2021) on residual adapters shows efficient on-device personalisation is feasible. De Russis & Corno (2019) find off-the-shelf cloud ASR has WER >50% for many dysarthric speakers — personalisation is **a baseline accessibility requirement, not a luxury**.
**Do.** Treat vocabulary as a first-class object: per-user noun lists (names, jargon, medications, slang), with low-friction in-context add ("learn this word"). Support adapter-based personal acoustic models for users with accents, dysarthria, stutter, post-stroke speech, or atypical prosody (autism). Persist them locally. Make corrections one-tap and feed them back into the model.
**Avoid.** Hard-coded vocabularies the user can't edit. Discarding user corrections. Penalising fragmented or restarted utterances — these are common in cognitive fatigue and dysfluency.
### 7. Dyslexia-friendly fonts, bionic reading, reduce motion
**The evidence here is contested and the developer should be candid in copy.**
**OpenDyslexic.** Repeatedly negative: Wery & Diliberto (2017, *Annals of Dyslexia*); Rello & Baeza-Yates (2013/2016, ACM TACCESS) — dyslexic readers preferred Verdana and Helvetica; Kuster et al. (2018, n=170+147) — null and Arial preferred. Marinus et al. (2016) found a 7% Dyslexie advantage that **disappeared when Arial was given matched spacing** — the benefit is from spacing, not letterforms. The **British Dyslexia Association 2023 style guide does not endorse OpenDyslexic**; the IDA position is that specialty fonts have "no desired effect."
**Lexend** has no independent peer-reviewed RCTs; Shaver-Troup's evidence is a doctoral dissertation and an N=20 promotional study. Its design principles (large x-height, generous spacing) are evidence-based; the brand is not.
**Atkinson Hyperlegible** was designed by the Braille Institute for **low-vision character disambiguation** — don't conflate it with dyslexia.
**Bionic Reading.** Strukelj (2024, *Acta Psychologica*) — null at n=32 with adequate power. *Attention, Perception & Psychophysics* (2025) — bolding the first half produced reading **costs**, not gains. Doyon's n=2,074 public test showed 2.6 wpm slower and 5–8% worse comprehension.
**What actually has evidence:** font size ≥18pt (Rello, Pielot & Marcos, 2016, CHI; O'Brien et al., 2005), **inter-letter spacing** (Zorzi et al., 2012, *PNAS* — extra-large spacing produces immediate dyslexic reading gains), avoiding italics, sans-serif preference. The strongest principle is **offering user-adjustable presentation** — UDL (CAST), WCAG 1.4.12 Text Spacing, WCAG 2.3.3 Animation from Interactions.
**Do.** Default to a clean sans-serif at ≥16pt, with size adjustable to 22pt+. Provide adjustable letter-spacing and line-spacing — these have the strongest evidence. Honour `prefers-reduced-motion` *and* expose an in-app toggle (Apple HIG; vestibular literature; autism × migraine comorbidity — Sullivan et al., 2014). Suppress parallax, scaling intros, autoplay carousels.
**Avoid.** Marketing OpenDyslexic, Lexend, or Bionic Reading as "proven for dyslexia" — they aren't. Offer them honestly as **subjective preference options**: "Some users find this comfortable; the evidence base is contested."
---
## Per-challenge guidelines
### A. Post-collapse re-entry
**The evidence.** This is where most productivity tools fail Kon's users. The mechanism is well-mapped. Tracy & Robins (2006) and Tangney & Dearing (2002) show that internal-stable-uncontrollable attributions for failure produce **shame**, which motivates withdrawal; internal-unstable-controllable attributions produce **guilt**, which motivates repair. A full inbox after weeks away triggers the shame route by default. Cochran & Tesser's "what-the-hell effect" (and Polivy et al., 2010) shows a single perceived violation cascades into total abandonment — *belief* of failure, not actual failure, drives disengagement. Loss aversion (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979; Kivetz et al., 2006 goal-gradient) makes streak-based systems disproportionately punishing on break.
The counter-evidence is equally clear. Dai, Milkman & Riis's "fresh start effect" (2014, *Management Science*; 2015, *Psychological Science*) shows temporal landmarks — Mondays, months, "fresh starts" — psychologically segregate the imperfect past self and spike aspirational behaviour. Breines & Chen's (2012) self-compassion experiments show induced self-compassion *increases* self-improvement motivation, time studying after failure, and willingness to repair — directly disconfirming the "compassion breeds complacency" worry. MacBeth & Gumley's (2012) meta-analysis confirms a large inverse association between self-compassion and depression/anxiety/stress.
**Do.** Treat re-entry as a first-class state. On returning after >7 days, trigger a fresh-start frame: "Welcome back. This week starts fresh." Offer one-tap **bankruptcy** — archive everything in Inbox/Today older than X days, no questions asked (the consumer-equivalent of Mann's Inbox Zero bankruptcy; consistent with Cochran & Tesser's long-term-framing prescription, even if Mann himself is a non-peer-reviewed source). Frame missed items as system-attributable ("the inbox overflowed"), never user-attributable ("you forgot"). Offer common-humanity language ("most people return after a long break — that's how this tool is meant to be used"). Default to a small Today list of 1–3 items on re-entry.
**Avoid.** Red badges of overdue counts. "You missed N tasks" notifications. Streak-loss screens. Catch-up flows. Any UI that asks the user to *resolve* the backlog before they can use the app. Reactivation emails framed as concern ("we missed you") — they almost always read as guilt to this population.
### B. Unintrusive dopamine loops
**The evidence.** Most "dopamine UX" writing is junk neuroscience. Schultz (1998, 2016) and Berridge & Robinson (1998, 2016) establish that dopamine codes **reward prediction error** and **incentive salience ("wanting")**, not pleasure ("liking"). After learning, *predictable* rewards produce zero phasic dopamine response — which means predictable, fixed-schedule completion feedback **cannot fuel compulsion loops**, only acknowledgement. That is precisely what Kon should want. Schüll's (2012) ethnography of slot machines and Lindström et al. (2021, *Nature Communications*) show what variable-ratio reinforcement does at scale; Eyal's (2014) *Hooked* explicitly imported this into product design and his own (2019) follow-up partially walked it back.
For ADHD specifically, Söderlund's "moderate brain arousal" model (2007 *J Child Psychology and Psychiatry*; 2007 *Psychological Review*) and Nigg et al.'s (2024) meta-analysis show white/pink noise produces a small but real benefit (g ≈ 0.22, moderate-confidence GRADE) on attention — though Rijmen & Wiersema (2024, 2026) have challenged the stochastic-resonance mechanism. Brain.fm's amplitude-modulated music (Woods et al., 2024, *Communications Biology*) shows modest attention benefit but is **industry-funded with no independent replication**. Garcia-Argibay et al.'s (2019) binaural beats meta-analysis is positive (g = 0.45, anxiety stronger than attention) but later well-controlled studies (Robison et al., 2022) are sceptical. The **Mozart effect is debunked** (Pietschnig et al., 2010 meta-analysis).
For audio design itself: Brewster's earcon work (1993, 1998); Garzonis et al. (2009) — auditory icons beat earcons on intuitiveness; Williams et al. (2021) on autism + hyperacusis — ~50–70% prevalence of impaired sound tolerance.
**Do.** Use **fixed-schedule, completion-contingent** feedback: every finished task → predictable, brief, low-frequency-friendly acknowledgement. Keep audio cues ≤1.5s, soft attack envelope (≥10–20ms), avoid >4kHz peaks. Provide multimodal redundancy (audio + haptic + visual) so users can disable any channel without losing the cue. Expose a calm/energising/silent intensity axis — Dunn's sensory profile quadrants vary, and many users sit in both "sensation seeking" (ADHD) and "sensitivity" (autism comorbidity) at once. If you offer ambient sound, frame pink/white noise honestly (modest evidence, opt-in) and avoid pseudoscientific language about "neural phase-locking" or "binaural entrainment."
**Avoid.** Variable-ratio reward animations. Surprise rewards. Confetti for ordinary completion. Streak counters as feedback (see D). Marketing copy invoking "dopamine hits." Forced sound on completion. Anything that resembles Gray et al.'s (2018) dark-pattern strategies — nagging, forced action, interface interference.
### C. Capture-to-action gap
**The evidence.** The "thought lives in the head until externalised" intuition is one of the most strongly supported in the brief. Risko & Gilbert's (2016, *Trends in Cognitive Sciences*) review of cognitive offloading defines and validates the core mechanism: physical action that alters information-processing demand. Gilbert et al. (2020, *JEP:General*; 2023 review) show external reminders consistently improve prospective memory; the cost is small relative to benefit. Storm & Stone (2015, *Psychological Science*) demonstrate **saving-enhanced memory** — saving information *improves* learning of subsequent material because resources are freed. Sweller's CLT explains why: working memory is severely limited and externalising reduces intrinsic load. Clark & Chalmers (1998) and Hutchins (1995) provide the philosophical/ethnographic ground for treating reliable tools as cognitive extensions.
The doorway effect (Radvansky & Copeland, 2006; Pettijohn & Radvansky, 2016) operationalises the mechanism: **event boundaries actively purge volatile representations**. Be honest — McKerracher et al. (2021) failed to replicate the specific magnitude in complex VR tasks, and Sparrow et al.'s (2011) "Google effect" failed Many Labs replication. The broader event-boundary literature is robust; the dramatic headlines are not.
**Do.** Optimise for **time-to-first-syllable** as the headline metric. Capture must work from lock screen, in any app, with one input. Permit nameless, untyped, untagged thought-dumps as first-class items (Bellotti et al., 2004 — users abandon tools that demand classification at capture). Buffer constantly: any app return should preserve in-progress dictation. Time-stamp and (optionally) place-stamp captures — Godden & Baddeley's (1975) context-dependent memory has a real if modest effect (Smith & Vela, 2001 meta d ≈ 0.25; replication caveats noted by Murre, 2021). Treat the transcript as the canonical artefact; allow re-listen for verification but don't require it.
**Avoid.** Modal dialogs at capture time. Required categorisation. Network checks. Login prompts. Auto-summarisation that displaces the original — users need to find their own words.
### D. Streaks vs momentum
**The evidence is, for this population, decisively against streaks.** Deci, Koestner & Ryan's (1999, *Psych Bulletin*) meta-analysis of 128 experiments shows tangible, expected, performance-contingent rewards undermine intrinsic motivation — the **overjustification effect**. Cerasoli et al.'s (2014) 40-year meta-analysis (k = 183, N > 200,000) confirms incentives crowd out intrinsic motivation when directly performance-tied. Six et al.'s (2021, *JMIR Mental Health*) meta-analysis of 38 mental-health gamification studies found **gamification did not significantly improve depression outcomes** over non-gamified counterparts. Cheng et al. (2019) document gamification in mental-health apps applied without theoretical grounding; rewards can have negative mood effects in users feeling they're "not achieving enough" (Alqahtani et al., 2021, qualitative).
Streak mechanics specifically combine three documented harms: loss aversion (Kahneman & Tversky), goal-gradient escalation (Kivetz et al., 2006), and the what-the-hell effect (Cochran & Tesser; Polivy et al., 2010) where one break cascades into abandonment. For users with executive collapse cycles built into their condition, this is a designed-in failure mode.
**Be honest about weak claims.** Most "Duolingo streak research" is internal A/B-test marketing, not peer-reviewed. **Rejection sensitive dysphoria** as Dodson describes it is a clinical assertion lacking peer-review; cite **rejection sensitivity** (Downey & Feldman, 1996, *JPSP*) and **emotional dysregulation in ADHD** (Shaw et al., 2014, *Am J Psychiatry*; Beheshti et al., 2020 meta-analysis) instead. James Clear's "identity-based habits" is rhetorical synthesis; the underlying habit-identity correlation is mixed (Verplanken & Sui, 2019).
**Do.** Replace streaks with **non-quantified momentum**: a soft "you've been using Kon this week" indicator without numbers. Use brief reflection prompts (Frattaroli's 2006 expressive-writing meta gives modest but real effects, r ≈ 0.075–0.15) — never enforced. Offer implementation-intention coaching ("when X, then Y") which has d = 0.65 (Gollwitzer & Sheeran, 2006). Frame returns as fresh starts, not catch-ups. Where you must show progress, default to monthly or quarterly time-ranges, not daily.
**Avoid.** Streak counters. Streak-freeze monetisation. "Don't break the chain" framing. Public leaderboards. Badge systems contingent on consecutive use. Notifications triggered by inactivity.
### E. Notifications and nudges
**The evidence.** Kushlev, Proulx & Dunn (2016, CHI) showed that notifications alone produce significantly elevated ADHD-symptom scores in *non-ADHD* users — the implication for users already symptomatic is severe. Stothart et al. (2015) found even *receiving* a notification (without interaction) degrades attention. Mark et al. (2016, CHI) found longer email duration predicts higher measured stress (HR), and **batching does not reduce stress** in their data — but Fitz et al. (2019, *CHB*) RCT found three daily batches improved well-being over both as-they-arrive and total-disable. Pielot & Rello (2017) found total-disable increases anxiety and disconnection. The sweet spot is batching with user control.
**Calm Technology** (Weiser & Brown, 1995; Case, 2015) is a heuristic, not an empirically tested framework — Rogers (2006, UbiComp) critiques it directly. Use it for vocabulary; don't claim it as evidence. Mark's "23 minutes to refocus" figure is widely *mis*quoted — the original measured time to *return to* a task after intervening tasks, not full cognitive recovery. The strongest empirically grounded principle is Leroy's (2009) **attention residue**: unfinished tasks persist cognitively into the next.
The **nudge** literature is in the middle of a serious replication crisis. Maier et al. (2022, *PNAS*) re-analysed Mertens et al.'s positive meta-analysis using publication-bias correction and found **no overall evidence of reliable nudge effects**; DellaVigna & Linos (2022) found field nudges ~6× smaller than published academic nudges; Hu et al. (2025) second-order meta found d collapses from 0.27 to 0.004 after correction. **Don't over-promise behaviour change from copy tweaks.**
For sensory profile: Williams et al. (2021) on autism × hyperacusis (50–70% prevalence); Tomchek & Dunn (2007) — 95% of autistic children show atypical sensory processing.
**Do.** Default to **silent, batched, user-summoned** notifications. Offer 1–3 daily digest moments with user-set times. Use compassionate, behaviour-focused language that cues *guilt-repair* rather than *shame-withdraw* (Tracy & Robins, 2006; Breines & Chen, 2012). Honour OS quiet hours and sensory profile (text-only / haptic-only / silent variants). For time-blindness countermeasures (Barkley, 1997, 2001), externalise time visually (see Gaps).
**Avoid.** Push notifications by default. Red badges. "You haven't opened Kon in N days." Inactivity-triggered messages. "Should" or "must" language. Sound on by default. Sharp/high-frequency tones. Persuasive nudges presented as if behaviour-change-proven.
### F. Identity framing
**The evidence.** Phillips & Zhao's (1993) foundational AT-abandonment study found **29.3% of devices abandoned**, with non-involvement of users in selection and divergence between user goals and device logic among the strongest predictors. Scherer's Matching Person & Technology research (1998, 2005) shows uptake is predicted by mood, self-esteem, motivation, and **self-determination** as strongly as by feature-fit. Corrigan's self-stigma model (Corrigan & Watson, 2002; Corrigan, Larson & Rüsch, 2009) maps the awareness → agreement → application → harm cascade and the resulting "why try" effect. Bandura's (1997) self-efficacy work establishes that mastery experiences — not external validation — are the strongest builder of agency. The capability approach (Sen, 1999; Nussbaum, 2011; Toboso, 2011 applied to ICT; MacLachlan et al., 2025 ATA-C study) recommends evaluating tools by *what they let users do and be*, not by how close they bring users to a non-disabled norm.
The neurodiversity paradigm (Walker, 2021; Botha et al., 2024 — community-developed) argues against pathology framing. Shakespeare's (2006) sympathetic critique of the strict social model is also relevant: pure social-model framing under-recognises real cognitive limits the user experiences, which can itself feel invalidating.
**No RCT directly compares prosthetic vs training framings**, but the convergent evidence supports a clear hierarchy:
**Do.** Use **capability/scaffolding** language as primary: "Kon helps you do the things you want to do." Permit **prosthetic** framing for users who self-identify as disabled — "use it as long as you want, like glasses" — without imposing it. Show users their own work (reviewable transcripts, user-curated buckets) to build mastery experiences. Make it possible to use Kon forever without that feeling like failure.
**Avoid.** Cure/training framing ("graduate from Kon," "build your executive function"). Streaks framed as growth. Onboarding that pathologises ("Do you struggle with…?"). Marketing that implies the user is broken. Quizzes that diagnose. Any copy that implies success means needing Kon less.
### G. Gaps the literature surfaces
The most important Kon-relevant gaps are externalised time, body doubling, transition support, and structured implementation-intention scaffolding. Treated in detail in the next section.
---
## Gaps: features the literature suggests Kon should consider
**1. Externalised time visualisation.** Barkley's (1997, 2001) work establishes time as a *core* ADHD deficit (temporal myopia, time reproduction errors at long durations). Janeslätt et al.'s (2018) RCT of time-skill training plus Time Assistive Devices (visual timers, electronic schedules) — the strongest RCT evidence in this space — significantly improved daily time management. Kon currently captures, decomposes, and sorts but does not make time *visible*. A disappearing-disc visual on the active MicroStep, or an ambient "elapsed since started" indicator, would directly address the most-evidenced ADHD-specific scaffold. Avoid prescriptive Pomodoro cycles — Biwer et al. (2023, *BJEP*) found Pomodoro breaks *accelerated* fatigue and motivation loss vs self-regulated breaks.
**2. Body-doubling / co-presence layer.** Eagle, Baltaxe-Admony & Ringland's (2024, *ACM TACCESS*) survey of 220 neurodivergent participants — the first formal academic study of body doubling — found many users depend on it for basic activities. The mechanism is grounded in Zajonc's (1965) social facilitation (well-replicated for well-learned tasks). Evidence is emerging rather than strong: Lee et al.'s 2025 VR preprint suggests AI body doubles produce comparable outcomes to human ones. An async "I'm working too" presence layer, or scheduled silent-coworking sessions, fills a gap that solo capture/decomposition cannot.
**3. Implementation-intention coaching.** Kon decomposes into 3–7 steps but does not currently *phrase* them as implementation intentions. Gollwitzer & Sheeran's (2006) meta-analysis of 94 studies shows d = 0.65 for if-then planning; Gawrilow & Gollwitzer (2008) show it brings ADHD inhibition to non-ADHD level. Have the LLM generate at least one step in "when X, then Y" form, anchoring the action to an existing cue.
**4. Transition support and re-orientation.** Monsell (2003) on switch costs and Leroy (2009) on attention residue establish the cognitive cost of moving between tasks. Hume et al.'s (2021) third-generation EBP review classifies visual schedules as evidence-based for autism transitions. Kon should provide a brief "where was I?" re-orientation when returning to an interrupted MicroStep — a one-line summary of the last completed step plus the next one — and an optional gentle pre-warning before bucket switches.
**5. Coach/partner loop (optional).** Wilson et al.'s (2001, *JNNP*) NeuroPage RCT showed task-completion rose from 55% to 74% with paged reminders; Fish et al. (2008) found severe EF impairment moderates self-programming success — users with the deepest deficits benefit most when *someone else* sets the reminders. Janeslätt's RCT involved parent/teacher integration. An optional, granular sharing layer (single-task, time-bounded) for partners, coaches, or therapists addresses this without compromising local-first defaults. Frame as scaffold, not surveillance.
---
## Honest limitations
**Where the evidence is contested or absent, say so in the product, not just the docs.**
**Direct comparisons missing.** No RCT compares LLM-generated to therapist-generated task decomposition; goblin.tools and similar tools have not been peer-evaluated. No RCT compares local-first to cloud-stored journaling apps' effect on disclosure of stigmatised content — the case rests on transitive evidence from anonymity, privacy calculus, and chilling-effects literatures. No study isolates the Time Timer brand specifically; visual-timers-as-a-class have RCT support (Janeslätt, 2018).
**Popular concepts with weak empirical bases.** OpenDyslexic, Lexend, and Bionic Reading lack the evidence their marketing implies (Wery & Diliberto, 2017; Strukelj, 2024). Pomodoro is widely endorsed but Biwer et al. (2023) found self-regulated breaks outperform it. Tiny Habits / Fogg Behavior Model is a useful design heuristic with thin RCT support (Duarte et al., 2025 BMC scoping review). Calm Technology (Weiser & Brown) and "neuro-acoustic stimulation" (Brain.fm) are heuristics or industry-funded findings, not independently replicated science. Binaural beats have a positive meta (Garcia-Argibay, 2019, g=0.45) but later well-controlled studies on sustained attention are sceptical. The Mozart effect is debunked (Pietschnig et al., 2010). RSD as Dodson defines it is not peer-reviewed; rejection sensitivity (Downey & Feldman, 1996) and ADHD emotional dysregulation (Shaw et al., 2014) are. Spoon theory is a culturally legible metaphor (Miserandino, 2003) without psychometric validation; cite as communication frame, not clinical model.
**Replication caveats.** Sparrow et al.'s "Google effect" failed Many Labs replication. The doorway effect's specific magnitude is sensitive to task complexity (McKerracher et al., 2021) though event-boundary theory is robust. Mark's "23 minutes to refocus" is widely misquoted — it measured task return, not cognitive recovery. The nudge literature's overall effect collapses under publication-bias correction (Maier et al., 2022; Hu et al., 2025).
**Population gaps.** Most cognitive-offloading and dictation evidence generalises from healthy or LD populations. **ME/CFS, long COVID, fibromyalgia, perimenopausal cognitive symptoms, and depression-related cognitive impairment are essentially absent from the dictation, decomposition, and offloading literatures.** Most application to these groups is by extrapolation from TBI, ADHD, and autism research. Kon's design choices for these users are reasonable inferences, not validated interventions.
**Body doubling, AI decomposition for ADHD, LLM coaching for autism, and personalised acoustic ASR for dysfluency** are all areas where Kon could plausibly contribute primary evidence — well-designed in-app studies (with consent, opt-in, local analytics) would advance the field, not just the product. The honest framing for the developer to defend in public: "We've built Kon on the strongest available evidence; some of our choices are design intuition pending empirical validation; we will say which is which."

# NLnet GenAI policy
Filed in this folder because the pendant research recommends NLnet NGI
Zero Commons Fund as the primary funding pathway. Any application we
submit, and any GenAI-assisted work on a funded project, must comply with
this policy.
## TL;DR
If we apply to NLnet and use GenAI in the application:
1. **Disclose the use.** Drafting, translation, summarisation. All count.
2. **Maintain a prompt provenance log:** model used, dates and times of
prompts, the prompts themselves, the unedited output. Submit with the
application.
3. **Trust your own skills first.** NLnet explicitly encourage applicants
to write their own proposals.
If we receive a grant and use GenAI during project development:
1. **All outputs must be legally publishable under a FLOS licence.**
Verify GenAI-assisted code does not reproduce copyrighted material.
2. **Purely AI-generated outputs are not eligible for payment.** Under EU
law they fall into the public domain (no copyright protection).
3. **Don't pass AI work off as your own.** Human contributors remain
accountable for accuracy, originality, integration.
4. **Disclose substantive use publicly.** README declaration of how
GenAI is used (logic, tests, docs, etc.).
5. **Mark generated content per commit.** Specify model and version,
include prompts and outputs (or summary), in commit messages or
equivalent. Don't host the log on a third-party platform that
could disappear.
Failure to comply may result in rejection of the proposal or termination
of a running grant.
## Funding pathway hooks
- **Next deadline:** apply before **1 June 2026**.
- **Office hour (live Q&A):** 2026/04/29, "Ask us Anything"
https://nlnet.nl/events/20260429/office-hour/index.html (worth attending
given the deadline proximity).
- **Recent precedent:** 57 projects received NGI Zero grants in the
2026-04-09 announcement. Pendant research notes audio-hardware
precedents (Tiliqua, MILAN) that are directly relevant.
- **Application format:** short web form. The compass research estimates
4 to 8 hours of focused effort. Two-month decision after submission.
## Pendant project compliance plan
If we apply for the Corbie Pendant track:
- **Licences:** CERN-OHL-S-2.0 for hardware, GPL-3.0-or-later for
firmware, CC BY-SA 4.0 for documentation. (Picked in the compass
research.)
- **Prompt provenance log:** start one *before* drafting. Capture every
Wren/Claude prompt that contributes to the application text, in a
structured log alongside the proposal draft.
- **README declaration:** Corbie's existing "Pre-alpha; contribution
process TBD" line stays, plus a new GenAI-disclosure section before
any NLnet milestone work begins.
- **Commit hygiene:** for any pendant-project commit that uses
GenAI-generated content, the commit message follows NLnet's example
format (Author: Harry Hacker with CodeLLM-3.4, prompt cited, output
attached).
## Verbatim policy text
Below is the full policy as captured 2026/04/27 from the email forward.
Reformatted from the email body for readability; semantic content
unchanged.
### Foundation of the policy
This policy is grounded in longstanding principles that apply to all
NLnet-funded work. From these fundamental principles we have deduced
what we consider common sense consequences with regards to the use of
GenAI.
**Fundamental principles:**
1. **FLOS licence.** All projects must be free/libre/open source: all
scientific outcomes must be published as open access, and any
software and hardware developed must be published under a recognised
free and open source licence in its entirety.
2. **No misrepresentation.** Grantees and applicants should not claim
work as their own, if it is not. This has always been true and
GenAI doesn't change that.
3. **Project quality.** Grantees are expected to deliver project
outcomes to the best of their ability. Tools may assist but do not
replace human responsibility for correctness, clarity, and
reproducibility.
### Use of GenAI in the application process
We encourage applicants to trust their own skills and write their own
proposals. That being said, applicants may use GenAI tools in preparing
applications, but any such use must be disclosed. This includes
drafting, translation, or summarisation. It applies both to written
proposals and to materials provided during interactive evaluation.
Disclosure allows evaluators to understand how the proposal was
produced and ensures fairness.
**How to disclose.** If GenAI is used in the application process a
prompt provenance log must be maintained. This log should list:
- the model used,
- dates and times of prompts,
- the prompts themselves,
- the unedited output.
Instructions about how to submit the prompt log for applications are
provided on the proposal form: https://nlnet.nl/propose/
### Use of GenAI in project development
- Grantees must ensure that all submitted work can be legally published
under a FLOS licence. This includes verifying that GenAI-assisted
outputs do not reproduce copyrighted or incompatible material.
- **Example:** when using a code assistant, check the assistant's
terms of use, and ensure that outputs are not reconstructed from
copyrighted sources.
- **Example:** Under EU law, purely AI-generated outputs without
substantial human intellectual contribution are not eligible for
copyright protection. In any case, outcomes purely generated by
AI are not allowed to be submitted as work eligible for payment
(as part) of the grant.
- Grantees must not present AI-generated content as if it were their
own human-authored work.
- **Explanation:** When we provide a grant to a person to develop a
project, we expect that person to do the work. They should not
outsource the work to another person while pretending they did it
themselves. Similarly, grantees should not deliver GenAI outcomes
and pretend it was their own human effort. Human contributors
remain accountable for accuracy, originality, and integration of
GenAI-supported work.
- Use of GenAI must not reduce the quality, clarity, reliability, or
reproducibility of the work.
- **Explanation:** Tools may assist, but human responsibility for
quality remains. Human contributors are expected to understand and
be able to explain design and code decisions.
- It is allowed to work on the topic of GenAI itself within the scope
of a grant, but only if this is explicitly part of approved work.
### Transparency and logging for project development
Use of GenAI should be disclosed and transparent. For any substantive
use of GenAI that materially affects outputs, public disclosure is
required, making it available to both users and contributors.
- The general stance toward the use of GenAI within a project should be
disclosed and transparent for the public by providing a broad
description.
- **Example:** A codebase declares, typically in its README, broadly
how GenAI is used (logic, boilerplate, tests, documentation, etc.).
- **Example:** A project publishes its own policy for contributors,
outlining its dos and don'ts with regards to the use of GenAI.
- Generated content should be marked as such. When adding (partially)
generated code, make sure the provenance is clear for each such
contribution. Specify which model was used (including version), and
how it was used. Provide the used prompts/interactions and resulting
output, or a summary thereof.
- **Example:** When using git, distinguish commits that add generated
code and include the used model and prompts in the commit message.
- Make sure to provide the information in a logical place where it
can easily be found. Avoid hosting it on third-party platforms
that require a log-in or may disappear over time.
- If GenAI is not used for generating code but only for tasks like
testing or creating documentation, it suffices to provide a general
description of the use in the README. More detailed logging on a
per-commit basis is preferred but not required.
### Alternative methods for logging
The goal of disclosure is to inform NLnet, users and contributors about
the extent to which GenAI was used to generate project results. If you
prefer to use different methods for logging with equivalent results,
this can be acceptable too. Use common sense to determine such
equivalence and make sure you are able to answer questions about the
use of GenAI from the NLnet team.
### Exceptions for grantees with active projects
For grantees with ongoing projects (Memorandum of Understanding signed
before 8 December 2025), logging is **not** required retroactively. It
applies to milestones started after the policy came into force.
Grantees of ongoing projects who feel that none of the disclosure
options offered above will work for them can propose a personalised
plan for transparency to their contact person at NLnet.
### Non-compliance
Failure to comply with the above policy may result in rejection of the
proposal or ultimately in the termination of the running grant.
### Scope
This policy explicitly deals with GenAI only (such as Large Language
Models). NLnet is a strong proponent of automation and of deterministic
and reproducible generation of source code, formal and symbolic proofs,
etc. based on specifications and scientific and engineering rigour.
Similarly, it does not in any way seek to prevent the use of other
forms of machine learning, fuzz testing or other beneficial use cases.
When in doubt, contact NLnet.
### Note 1: AI copyright in the EU
See: *Generative AI and Copyright*, page 93, a report requested by the
European Parliament's Committee on Legal Affairs.
> Given this framework, it follows that purely AI-generated outputs,
> those created automatically by an AI system without substantial
> human intervention, are not eligible for copyright protection in the
> EU. Such outputs are considered to fall into the public domain,
> making them freely available for anyone to use, reproduce, or adapt
> without seeking permission or providing attribution. The legal and
> commercial implications of this are significant. For creators and
> companies investing in AI systems that generate music, art, or text,
> there is no proprietary right over the final output unless a human
> has contributed in a way that meets the "intellectual creation"
> standard.

A working planning document for shipping a "dumb but elegant" tape-recorder-aesthetic open-hardware audio capture device that pairs with the Corbie (formerly Kon) desktop. UK context, GBP, April 2026.
---
## 1. Executive summary
**The product is buildable, on a £2k discretionary budget, in roughly 6–9 months of part-time work, but only on one specific silicon path and one specific funding sequence.** Everything else either fails on cost, capability, or executive-dysfunction overhead.
Three findings dominate everything else in this document. **First, in 2026 LE Audio outside Apple and Samsung is effectively a Nordic monopoly** — every credible LE Audio product shipping today uses an nRF5340 or a module derived from it; Espressif have formally declined to add LC3/Auracast to ESP-IDF, and TI/Ambiq have no shipping stack. **Second, the lowest-friction credible grant in the world for this exact device is NLnet's NGI Zero Commons Fund** — €5k–€50k, two-month decision, a single short web form, and an open hardware audio precedent (Tiliqua) explicitly funded for builders with "low/no hardware development experience." **Third, the only crowdfunding platform whose operating model is compatible with a solo founder with executive dysfunction is Crowd Supply** — they handle video direction, copy, BoM review, fulfilment via Mouser, customs and VAT; Kickstarter does none of that and the post-campaign workload kills solo hardware founders.
The recommended sequence is therefore **NLnet first, soft pre-orders to the Kon waitlist second, Crowd Supply third** — with the explicit operating principle that the hardware must never cannibalise Kon software development time. A realistic minimum viable BOM lands around **£87 per unit at qty 100** for mechanical/power/PCB and **~£20 of silicon plus a microSD card**, hitting a sustainable £249–£299 retail price with healthy margin.
---
## 2. Recommended hardware specification
### 2.1 Silicon and audio chain
The core decision is the SoC, and in April 2026 there is functionally one answer. **Nordic nRF5340 — used as a pre-certified module — is the only hobbyist-accessible path to LE Audio with LC3 and Auracast.** Espressif's entire ESP32 family (S3, C6, C5) cannot run LE Audio; Espressif have closed the relevant feature request as "Won't Do." Ambiq Apollo4 Blue, TI CC2340 and the various STM32H7 variants have no production-grade LC3 stack. Nordic's newer nRF54H20 will be the right answer in 2027 but its LE Audio port from nRF5340 is not yet GA-mature. **For v1, ride the proven horse.**
Use a **pre-certified module** rather than a bare chip. The Raytac MDBT53-1M (nRF5340-based, ~£9–£10 qty 10 from Mouser UK) carries FCC/IC/CE/UKCA pre-certification, transferring module compliance to the finished device. The alternative — bare-chip RF design with an EMC chamber slot at a UK lab — costs £8–£15k and is the single biggest hidden expense in any "build your own BLE device" plan. A solo founder in Northampton with no RF lab access should not fight this battle on v1.
Drop the nRF7002 Wi-Fi 6 companion. **Wi-Fi belongs on USB-C only** — when the device is plugged in, expose its microSD as a USB Mass Storage Class device and let Kon read files directly. No Wi-Fi stack to maintain, no second radio cert, no PSTI complications, and the user experience ("plug in to sync") is more honest than a flaky Wi-Fi handoff. The nRF5340 has native USB 2.0 FS and Zephyr's MSC support is rock-solid.
The microphone is **a single Knowles SPH0645LM4H-1** PDM digital MEMS mic. SNR is 65 dB, sensitivity is fine, and it drops directly onto the nRF5340's PDM peripheral with zero external audio chips. At ~£1.20 qty 100 it is cheap, well-documented on every hobbyist platform, and the SNR delta to Infineon's IM73A135 (73 dB, the premium voice MEMS) is real but largely irrelevant for transcription — Whisper handles 65 dB SNR audio comfortably. Reserve the IM73A135 for a "Pro" tier later, where it would pair with a TI TLV320ADC3140 four-channel ADC at ~£3.50 qty 10. **One mic, no beamforming**: AirPods Pro 1 used a single mic plus bone conduction and that is the correct precedent.
There is **no dedicated DSP**. Opus encoding at 16 kHz mono needs roughly 8 MIPS on a Cortex-M33 with DSP extensions; the nRF5340 application core has ~192 DMIPS and already runs the more complex LC3 codec for LE Audio. xMOS XU316 is brilliant for USB audio sources but draws ~120 mA — an order of magnitude worse than software Opus encoding's ~5 mA penalty.
Storage is **a microSD card in a Hirose DM3AT-SF-PEJM5 push-push socket** (~£1.10 qty 100). This is the single most important design decision after the SoC choice. A 32 GB consumer card (~£5 retail) holds roughly 4,400 hours of 16 kbps Opus or 100 hours of 48 kHz/24-bit FLAC. The card socket can be visually disguised as a cassette spool inside the enclosure — the cassette aesthetic stops being decoration and becomes literal storage. Sync becomes trivial: USB MSC means Kon sees a thumb drive, drag-and-drop. No drivers, no app to install, no flaky Wi-Fi handoff to debug.
**Silicon BOM at qty 100, all-in:** ~£20 plus a £5 SD card. Dev-kit budget for prototyping: roughly £600 (two nRF5340 Audio DKs at £170 each, an nRF7002 DK at £60, a Power Profiler Kit II at £90, an IM73A135 eval at £60, miscellany at £50).
### 2.2 Power and battery
Power-budget arithmetic: ~60 mA active, ~1 mA standby, gives ~890 mAh for the 12 h active + 7-day standby spec, or ~1.4 Ah with margin. **A single 18650 cell in a Keystone 1042 surface-mount holder** is roughly 3.7× this — comfortable headroom for end-of-life and cold operation, and the right answer for the right-to-repair positioning.
**Cell: Molicel M35A 3500 mAh from Fogstar UK, ~£5.50–£6.99 qty 10.** Fogstar are Bromsgrove-based, WEEE-registered, and ship with UN38.3 / MSDS docs you will need for retailer listings. The cell is a vape-shop commodity worldwide — zero lock-in, infinite replacement supply, perfect right-to-repair story.
The Keystone 1042 (gold-plated, UL94 V-0) is ~£3.20 qty 100 from DigiKey UK. Add a 1S protection PCB (DW01-P + dual MOSFET, ~£0.10 in 100s from LCSC) for the safety case file even though the charger IC's built-in over-charge/discharge protection is also there.
Charging is **a Microchip MCP73831T** linear LiPo charger (~£0.40 qty 100), USB-C receptacle with the standard 5.1 kΩ × 2 CC pull-downs to advertise as a 5 V/3 A sink, and the IC's status pin driving the charge LED. **No USB-PD silicon** — PD is for >5 V or >3 A and a 3500 mAh cell wants neither. The whole charging sub-circuit is four passives and one IC, fits in 1 cm², and total port-and-charger BOM is ~£1.50 qty 100. Adafruit's product 1304 schematic is the open-source reference.
Reject LiPo pouches. They cannot be user-replaced, they swell after 2–3 years, and they kill the right-to-repair story.
### 2.3 Indicators, mute switch and trust
**The hardware-locked recording LED is the single design detail that earns the device's privacy claim.** The right topology is the LED in series with the mic preamp's V_DD rail — the analogue chain physically cannot draw current without forward-biasing the LED. Firmware can switch the rail off (LED off, mic off, honest), but cannot switch the LED off while keeping the mic on. Tampering requires deliberately shorting the LED with solder paste, which is a hardware modification, not a firmware compromise.
The voltage-drop arithmetic works either by running the analogue chain off a boosted 5 V rail with the LED in series before its 3.3 V LDO, or via a PNP/PMOS current mirror that derives ~3 mA LED current from the mic-chain current draw. The current-mirror version is the textbook approach (TI app note AN-1118 "Current Sense for LED Indication"). Omit any covert bypass diode; smooth with a 10 µF cap across the LED instead. **Total BOM cost for the trust property: about £0.10 per unit.** This is the same topology used by Axon Body 3 cameras and broadcast tally lights.
LED part: Kingbright L-7104ID 3 mm diffuse red, £0.06 qty 100 from Farnell. A chrome bezel (VCC CMC_220_RTW, ~£0.40–£0.80) sells the seriousness of the "REC" indication.
The **hardware mute switch must cut power to the mic, not signal an interrupt to the MCU**. If the switch were a soft signal, a compromised firmware could record while showing "muted." A DPDT toggle (NKK M2022SS1W03, MIL-style chrome bat, panel-mount, ~£4.80 qty 100) opens the mic-chain power rail on one pole and shorts the analogue output to ground through 1 kΩ on the other — kills any residual capacitively-coupled signal and removes click on re-engage. The MCU can read mute state via a third pole of a 3PDT for UI updates, but the security property does not depend on it. Pair this with the series-LED so muting also extinguishes the recording indicator automatically (because the rail powering it is broken). An NKK AT507A chrome safety guard (~£3–£4) over the toggle makes flipping it up to mute genuinely satisfying.
### 2.4 Display, controls, and other mechanical
The hero display element is **a Sifam Tinsley AL19 analogue VU meter** (~£35–£55 qty 10, less direct from Sifam Bracknell at qty 50+). Sifam are the spiritual heir to the British VU-meter trade and will print custom dial faces in batches of 50+. Pair with **a 0.91" 128×32 SSD1306 mono OLED (~£2 qty 100)** tucked behind a smoked window for clock, file counter, and battery percentage. Combined display BOM ≈ £8 qty 100. The CPC PM11118 V-22 panel meter at £8.99 inc VAT is the lowest-risk first prototype meter before committing to a Sifam custom dial.
Tactile controls cost more than novices expect, but they are non-negotiable for this product. The recommended set at qty 100 is APEM AV1953F6A04Q04 illuminated 19 mm anti-vandal momentary buttons (red-ringed for Record, green-ringed for Play, ~£8 each) with two black AV091003C940 buttons for Stop and Pause (~£5.20 each), plus a Bourns PEC11R rotary encoder with knurled aluminium knob for record-level (~£4) and the NKK DPDT mute toggle. **Total tactile-controls budget: ~£35 qty 100, ~£45 qty 10.** A "100% retro vibe" alternative using AliExpress vintage transport latch buttons drops the cost to ~£14 qty 100 but introduces supply risk. A novel third path uses Cherry MX-style mechanical keyboard switches as transport keys with custom 3D-printed transport-symbol caps — clever, hacker-y, cheap (£3–£8 per button qty 100), but reads as "keyboard" rather than "tape."
PCB: **JLCPCB Economic 4-layer with SMT assembly.** A roughly 60×100 mm board with 50–100 mid-density components lands at £160–£220 for ten fully-populated prototype boards, dropping to £6–£9 per unit fully populated at qty 100, all-in including DDP shipping with UK VAT prepaid. JLC's Jan 2021+ DDP option means no FedEx brokerage surprises. Hand-soldering 50–100 components is *technically* feasible but the £80–£140 component-line cost dominates, so spend the time on firmware instead. For a v2/v3 production run of 100+, **JJS Manufacturing in Lutterworth (35 minutes from Northampton)**, Tioga in Bedford, or Newbury Electronics are credible UK EMS partners — pricier than JLC but unlock the "Made in UK" story when it becomes a marketing point.
Enclosure: **3DPrintUK PA12 SLS body, dyed black, with a JLCCNC anodised aluminium top plate for the faceplate.** This is the Teenage Engineering recipe at small-batch scale — UK printing for the body keeps lead times short and quality consistent; Chinese CNC for the small alu plate works because the part ships fast DDP and the cost saving is significant. Per-unit total: **~£40–£55 at qty 10, ~£22–£32 at qty 100**, including fasteners, heat-set brass inserts (Ruthex M3) and feet. Graduate to injection-moulded ABS only at qty 1000+ when £6–£15k of Chinese soft-tool tooling amortises.
### 2.5 Total mechanical/power/manufacturing BOM
The full per-unit cost picture, excluding the silicon line covered earlier:
| Subsystem | Qty 10 | Qty 100 |
|---|---|---|
| Display (Sifam VU + small OLED) | £14 | £8 |
| Tactile controls (5-button + encoder + DPDT) | £45 | £35 |
| Battery (Molicel + Keystone 1042 + PCM) | £12 | £9 |
| Charger (MCP73831 + USB-C + passives) | £2 | £1.50 |
| Hardware-lock LED + bezel + passives | £1 | £0.20 |
| PCB + SMT assembly | £18 | £8 |
| Enclosure (SLS body + CNC alu plate) | £45 | £25 |
| **Mechanical/power/manufacturing total** | **~£137** | **~£87** |
| Plus silicon (nRF5340 module + mic + storage socket + SD card) | ~£25 | ~£20 + £5 SD |
**All-in BOM at qty 100: roughly £107–£112 per unit before packaging.** This supports a £249 retail with ~55% gross margin or a £299 "Founders Edition" with ~63% margin — comfortably in the range that boutique audio hardware lives at.

## 3. Industrial design moodboard
### 3.1 The lineage in one sentence
**The Kon recorder is a Sony WM-D6C in spirit, a Nagra E in proportion, a Playdate in commitment to one colour, and a Teenage Engineering TP-7 in operating logic.** Every other reference in this section either supports those four anchors or is a counter-reference for what to avoid.
### 3.2 Vintage anchors
The **Sony WM-D6C "Walkman Professional"** (1984–2003) is the primary visual ancestor. Glass-bead-blasted aluminium top and bottom plates, ribbed black plastic side panels for grip, a glass cassette window, five-key piano transport, a single rotary record-level with a detent at zero, a tiny LED bargraph, and one small red LED for record. It was used by professionals for nineteen years unchanged. Image search: `Sony WM-D6C top view`, `WM-D6C amorphous head badge`.
The **Nagra E** (Switzerland, 1976) provides the proportion and the leather strap. Matte natural-finish aluminium chassis in the famous "Nagra warm grey," stainless-steel transport levers, knurled aluminium knobs, real leather strap, hand-engraved/silk-screened legends in an unusual semi-serif logotype that still reads as the brand from a hundred yards. The Nagra SN ("Série Noire") miniature commissioned by Kennedy for the Secret Service and used on Apollo missions is the reference for "small but uncompromising." Image search: `Nagra E reporter`, `Nagra IV-S modulometer`, `Nagra SN spy recorder`.
The **Uher Report 4000** (Munich, 1961–1999) provides the brown-leather-case-with-shoulder-strap supplementary aesthetic — cast siluminum case, ivory dial faces, a single red record indicator, piano-key transport, the "Akustomat" voice-activated switch (a precedent for hands-free record). The BBC reporter's standard for forty years. **Sound Devices' modern MixPre series** validates that "professional recorder" still means matte aluminium, restrained palette, deep orange (PMS 165 C) accent reserved for level/warning — direct precedent for using one accent colour as semantic signal, the same logic Jesper Kouthoofd applies at TE.
### 3.3 Modern boutique anchors
**Teenage Engineering's TP-7 field recorder** is the closest living competitor and the closest reference. Cast-aluminium body, motorised tape-reel-style jog wheel as primary control (a deliberate Nagra nod), white/silver base, single orange RECORD button. Kouthoofd's stated rules to steal directly: he specifies colours in **RAL not Pantone** because RAL has fewer choices and forces decisions, and his absolute rule — **"if it's orange or red, it means recording."** Use this rule wholesale on Kon-Compatible.
The **EP-133 K.O. II** is the closest sibling for the Kon brief — PA66 polyamide housing, immersion-gold 4-layer PCB, laser-engraved keys (TE's published material spec MT 83352), 12 silicon pads, calculator/Game-&-Watch reference, palette of cool light grey body plus dark grey trim plus RECORD red. The **EP-1320 Medieval** is the same industrial design with a different colour and silk-screen, proving the platform-with-skin approach works (relevant: Kon could ship multiple finishes off the same shell).
**Panic's Playdate** (hardware designed by Teenage Engineering, software by Panic — make this explicit in any internal discussion, the crank "is specifically credited to Teenage Engineering") teaches the single most useful production lesson: **commit to one colour absolutely, including the shipped USB-C cable.** Playdate yellow lives on the body, the box, and the cable. A Kon device that ships with a coloured USB-C cable lands the same trick.
**Mutable Instruments' panel pipeline** (Émilie Gillet, Paris, 2010–2022, all designs open-source) is the cheapest path to high-quality finishing in small UK runs: a 2 mm aluminium panel, screen-printed legends, Rogan PT-1 knobs, Schurter switches. Fully realised premium Eurorack-quality aesthetic at under $50 BOM. Do not over-engineer beyond this if you copy the pipeline.
The strong counter-references — what the device must not look like — are Zoom H-series and Edirol R-09 (generic black plastic, anonymous, "techy"), Make Noise's busy hand-drawn graphics (too noisy for a productivity tool), any rugged rubberised PMR/walkie-talkie aesthetic (wrong tribe), and Nothing Phone's transparent + LED Glyph aesthetic (reads as smartphone-future, not field-tool; TE has since stepped back from Nothing's design lead, which is itself telling).
### 3.4 Specific colour, type and material specification
**Body:** RAL 7035 Light Grey or RAL 9002 off-white, matte. Never gloss. Never soft-touch rubberised coating — it ages badly and feels cheap within 18 months.
**Faceplate:** brushed-or-bead-blasted natural anodised aluminium. Closest paint match if anodise is unavailable: RAL 9006 White Aluminium or RAL 9007 Grey Aluminium.
**One accent colour:** PMS Orange 021 C / RAL 2009 Traffic Orange. Used only on the record button, the recording-state indicator, and the end-of-tape warning. Nowhere else.
**Typography:** FF DIN (Albert-Jan Pool, FontFont) for body legends, DIN Next (Akira Kobayashi, Linotype) for OLED UI, Berkeley Mono for the model-number/serial badge. One face per role, no mixing. Avoid script faces, rounded "friendly" sans-serifs, and emoji icons. Iconography: ISO 7000 / IEC 60417 standard transport glyphs, not the rounded Apple/Google ones.
**Materials hierarchy:** anodised aluminium faceplate; brushed stainless steel for transport buttons; matte ABS (Cycolac or equivalent, never glossy) for the main shell; machined PMMA for the cassette-style window over the storage card slot; chrome-tanned leather wrist strap (Ettinger or Tusting in Northampton can do small runs).
### 3.5 Why this resonates with neurodivergent users
The cassette form factor is not nostalgic decoration — it is therapeutic logic. **Tactility and proprioception**: physically inserting and removing a finite object book-ends a recording session as an embodied act, supporting sensory-seeking ADHD/autistic profiles. **Finite tape length forces discipline**: the same external-boundary logic as Pomodoro timers, outsourcing executive function. **One-thing-at-a-time**: the device records voice and does nothing else; you cannot get a notification while recording, and the monomanic single-purpose nature is itself the feature. **Tangible ownership of recordings**: a discrete, holdable thing solves the object-permanence problem digital-only voice memos cause for many ND users. **Forgiveness of imperfection**: tape hiss and slight wow-and-flutter lower the bar for recording — nothing is fixable, so nothing has to be perfect, killing the perfectionist freeze response. **Slowness as feature**: the seconds of waiting are the cognitive space in which insight forms.
Marc Masters' *High Bias: The Distorted History of the Cassette Tape* (UNC Press, 2023) and Rob Drew's *Unspooled* (Duke University Press, 2024) are the best recent academic-adjacent treatments to cite when pitching to ND-adjacent funders.
### 3.6 The Ten Rules of Kon hardware
A single design language brief, ranked, to be broken only with explicit reason:
1. Brushed or bead-blasted natural aluminium faceplate. No painted faceplate. No gloss.
2. One accent colour, used semantically only — PMS Orange 021 C, on the record button, the recording-state indicator, and the end-of-tape warning. Nowhere else.
3. Body in matte light grey or matte off-white. RAL 7035 or RAL 9002. Never gloss, never soft-touch rubber.
4. DIN typography only. FF DIN for legends, DIN Next for OLED, Berkeley Mono for serial.
5. One real analogue VU meter, illuminated dim warm white. Sifam AL19 with a custom dial face.
6. Visible-but-honest controls. The control hierarchy must be readable from across the room.
7. Cassette-form-factor reference, not pastiche. A clear PMMA window over the SD card. No fake mechanical reel — that's costume, not design.
8. One leather strap, one knurled metal knob, one window — never two of any of these.
9. Off-state must be beautiful. The device must look like an object, not an interface, when not in use.
10. One brand, one mark, one place. Small silk-screened logo on the bottom edge of the faceplate, in DIN Mittelschrift, no larger than the smallest legend.
### 3.7 UK suppliers for the design language at small-batch scale
**Anodising:** Badger Anodising (Birmingham, 60+ years, full colour range including orange) or RMC Anodising. Realistic price ~£3–£8 per faceplate at qty 100. **Silk-screen / pad print on enclosures:** OKW Enclosures (UK office) or GSM Valtech, ~£60–£120 setup per screen per colour, ~£0.60–£2 per piece. **Laser engraving on anodised aluminium:** Razorlab (London/Manchester) or HPC Laser (Yorkshire), no setup cost beyond artwork — perfect for low quantities, this is what TE uses on EP-133 keys. **VU meters:** Sifam Tinsley (Bracknell) for custom dials at qty 50+. **Leather:** Tusting (Northampton, on Jake's doorstep) or Ettinger (London) for straps at qty 50+. **Cassette-style PMMA window:** Hindleys or The Plastic People.

## 4. Minimum viable specification
### 4.1 What is essential and what is cuttable
The MVP must do four things and only four. It must capture clearly intelligible voice audio (not audiophile, just transcription-quality). It must have a hardware record indicator and hardware mute switch (these are the trust property — without them the device has no story for ND users wary of always-on microphones). It must pair to Kon and sync audio reliably. And it must look unmistakably "Kon" from across the room — the design must be recognisable.
Working from this, the cuts and keeps fall out clearly. **Cut Wi-Fi**: the nRF5340 alone, no nRF7002, USB-C only for sync. Saves £4 silicon, removes a Wi-Fi cert headache, simplifies the firmware enormously, and the user experience (plug in to sync) is more honest. **Cut multiple mics**: a single Knowles SPH0645 is enough. Beamforming code on the desktop side is a software feature, not a fundamental hardware capability gap. **Cut the dedicated DSP**: Opus encoding runs on the application core in software. **Cut the IMU, NFC and haptic motor**: none earn their place on v1. **Cut the colour OLED**: a 0.91" mono SSD1306 hidden behind a smoked window does the file-counter and battery-percent job, and the analogue VU meter does the recording-state job analogue-ly.
**Keep the analogue VU meter** even though it is the single most expensive non-silicon part. It is the design's recognisability from across the room, the mechanism by which the device feels "alive" when idle, and the proof that the off-state is beautiful. Cutting it cuts the project's identity.
**Keep the hardware-locked recording LED and DPDT mute switch** at all costs. These are the trust story.
**Keep the microSD card slot** — disguised as a cassette-style spool window. This is the cassette aesthetic made literal, and it makes USB sync trivial via Mass Storage Class.
### 4.2 The bare-minimum BOM
At qty 10, all-in including silicon, mechanical, power and SD card: **roughly £165 per unit**. At qty 50: **roughly £115 per unit**. At qty 100: **roughly £107 per unit**.
This supports a **Founders Edition kit price of £249** (44% gross margin at qty 100) or **£299** (52% gross margin) — the latter being the right number for the maker community given the boutique design pitch and the comparable price points of Teenage Engineering TP-7 (£1,499), We Are Rewind (£140), and FiiO CP13 (£90). Kon-Compatible at £299 sits at the "boutique but accessible" sweet spot — clearly above mass-market plastic, clearly below TE pricing, justified by the open-hardware story and the ND-targeted positioning.
A "kit" SKU at £179 (PCB + silicon BOM only, user supplies enclosure and battery) is a credible secondary product for hardcore makers, with an even higher gross margin and zero enclosure cost — useful as a Crowd Supply add-on tier.

## 5. Funding pathway analysis
The funding question is dominated by one constraint: **application overhead, not grant size, is the binding variable for a solo founder with executive dysfunction**. A £20k grant with a four-hour application beats a £200k grant with a 200-hour application every time, because the latter does not get filed.
### 5.1 Comparison of all options
| Pathway | Realistic timeline | Capital from founder | Equity / IP cost | Realism for solo ND founder | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **NLnet NGI Zero Commons Fund** | 2 months to decision, 4–8 hours to apply | £0 (free) | 0% equity; mandatory open licence on outputs (CERN-OHL-S, GPL, CC BY-SA all fine); commercial use permitted | **9/10** ✅ | €5k–€50k (~£4k–£42k), short web form, rolling deadlines every 2 months. Audio-hardware precedents (Tiliqua, MILAN). Next deadline 1 June 2026. |
| **Crowd Supply** | 6–8 months application-to-cash | ~£500–£2k (prototype-for-video, shipping a sample to Portland, DIY video) | 0% equity, retains IP, open hardware preferred | **8/10** ✅ | 12% campaign fee + 2.9% + ~$1–18/item fulfilment + ~50% wholesale on long-tail. >90% campaign success, 100% historical delivery rate. They handle video direction, copy, BoM review, fulfilment via Mouser, customs, VAT, returns. |
| **Direct pre-orders via Kon waitlist (Stripe)** | 2–4 months | £50 Ltd company + ~£500–£800 landing page, Stripe, T&Cs | 0% | **7/10** ⚠️ | Fastest cash, but founder carries all UK consumer-law liability (Consumer Rights Act 2015 + Consumer Contracts Regs 2013). Section 75 chargeback exposure. Must form Ltd company before taking a single pre-order. Cap at 100–250 units to stay under the £90k VAT threshold. |
| **Microsoft Innovation & AI for Accessibility** | ~90 days | £0 | 0% equity, you retain all IP | 6/10 | £8k–£16k Azure credits + cash for engineering — but software/AI side only, not hardware. Useful as background runway. |
| **GitHub Sponsors / Open Source Collective** | Days to set up | £0 | 0%; OSS only | 8/10 | £0–£5k/month recurring once Kon software has audience. Builds the audience that later buys the hardware. |
| **GroupGets** | 4–6 months | £200–£1.5k | 0% | 6/10 | Engineer-to-engineer, low ceremony. AudioMoth proves the model exactly. Smaller ceiling than Crowd Supply but lower stakes. Useful as parallel/backup. |
| **Access to Work for the founder personally** | 2–8 weeks | £0 | n/a | **9/10** ✅ | Up to £69,260/year for self-employed founders. Cannot fund product dev, but can fund ADHD coaching, virtual assistant for grant admin, body-doubling apps — directly easing the executive-dysfunction barrier to all the other funding work. |
| **Access to Work as a distribution channel** | Post-launch | n/a | n/a | 9/10 (post-launch) | Likely the single largest post-launch revenue channel. Seed via Microlink, Iansyst, AbilityNet assessor community. |
| **Kickstarter** | 3–5 months | £500–£3k | 0% | 4/10 ❌ | 8–10% all-in fees, ~30–35% hardware success rate. Post-campaign fulfilment is brutal solo with no hardware experience. Tax/customs/refunds/support all on you. Exec dysfunction will choke on this. |
| **Indiegogo (primary)** | 3–5 months | £500–£3k | 0% | 3/10 ❌ | Weaker brand signal, no fulfilment help. Useful only as InDemand post-Kickstarter relay. |
| **BackerKit Crowdfunding** | 3–5 months | £100 + video | 0% | 2/10 ❌ | Wrong audience (tabletop/RPG dominant). Use the $99 Launch teaser tool only. |
| **Innovate UK Smart Grant** | n/a — programme paused since Jan 2025 | High match-funding | 0% | **2/10** ❌ | Currently paused; replacement not formally launched as of April 2026. When it returns: 6–8 weeks of focused application work; 3–5% solo success rate. Not realistic without a paid grant writer (£5k–£20k). |
| **EIC Accelerator (UK grant-only)** | 4–9 months | £20k+ for grant writers | 0%; UK excluded from equity component | **1/10** ❌ | Up to £2.1m grant but ~5% success rate, very heavy admin. Reconsider in late 2027 with prototype + traction. |
| **Sovereign Tech Fund** | n/a | n/a | n/a | **1/10** ❌ | Explicitly does not fund user-facing applications or prototypes. Skip. |
| **HAX / Bolt / YC / EF / Antler / Plexal** | n/a | n/a | 7–12% equity + relocation | **0/10** ❌ | All require full-time, often residential, commitment. Incompatible with running Kon as primary product. |
| **Hardware Pioneers (London)** | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | Not a fund; events business. Use for networking only — June 2026 conference at ExCeL, ~£80 train Northampton↔London. |
| **NIHR i4i** | 6+ months | High | 0% | 3/10 | Worth a follow-up look if positioned as health-tech/mental-health adjunct. Flagged as missing pathway worth investigating. |
| **Autistica** | 3–6 months | Medium | Research outputs open | 4/10 | £10k–£100k research grants, academic preferred. Useful as future partner-of-record. |
| **B2B partnership with Microlink/Iansyst/AbilityNet** | Months | £0 | Reseller margin 25–40% | 7/10 (post-prototype) | Won't pre-fund development, but commitment-letter pathway strengthens any grant application. Approach once a working prototype exists. |
### 5.2 The two pathways that matter
**NLnet NGI Zero Commons Fund and Crowd Supply** are the two pathways that fit this founder. NLnet is the only credible grant in the world with an application format compatible with executive dysfunction — a short web form, two-month decision, mandatory openness as the only string. Crowd Supply is the only crowdfunding platform whose operating model handles the parts a solo founder cannot do alone (video direction, copy, BoM review, fulfilment, customs, VAT, returns) and whose >90% funding rate / 100% historical delivery rate means the founder is not gambling against the 60% Kickstarter failure base rate.
Direct pre-orders to the Kon waitlist sit alongside as a fast-cash supplement, contingent on forming a Ltd company first to cap personal liability. Everything else is either too slow, too narrow, too equity-hungry, or too admin-heavy for this founder's specific constraints.
---
## 6. Recommended sequence with timeline
The sequence below assumes Kon software remains the primary product — every step is sized so the hardware project never consumes more than ~10 hours per week, which is the maximum sustainable load given Kon's beta runway and the founder's executive-dysfunction profile.
**Week 1 — administrative foundation.** Form a Ltd company via Companies House (~£50, 24 hours online); the Ltd is required before taking pre-orders and is good practice for grant applications. Phone Access to Work (0800 121 7479) to start a personal application — likely outcome is funding for an ADHD coach, a part-time virtual assistant for grant admin, and ergonomic kit, all of which directly reduce the executive-dysfunction tax on the rest of this plan. Set up GitHub Sponsors for the Kon software repo (zero fee, ~1 hour) so passive supporter revenue starts ramping while the rest of this plan executes.
**Weeks 2–4 — NLnet application.** Read the Tiliqua project page and the latest Commons Fund announcement to calibrate language. Draft a one-paragraph problem statement that links neurodivergent productivity, local-first audio, and open hardware. Pick licences now: CERN-OHL-S-2.0 for hardware, GPL-3.0-or-later for firmware, CC BY-SA 4.0 for documentation. Submit by 15 May 2026 to leave buffer before the 1 June deadline. **Decision by ~1 August 2026.**
**Weeks 4–12 — prototype on existing dev kits.** Spend ~£600 of the discretionary £2k on dev hardware: two nRF5340 Audio DKs, an nRF7002 DK, a Power Profiler Kit II, an Infineon IM73A135 eval flex board, and miscellaneous breakouts. Build a working hand-soldered prototype using the dev boards plus a Knowles SPH0645 mic on a breakout, a microSD breakout, and an off-the-shelf 18650 holder. The point is not a beautiful prototype yet — the point is end-to-end audio capture from the mic, through Opus encoding on the nRF5340 application core, to a microSD file, with USB MSC sync to a Mac running Kon. **Demo target: by 31 July 2026.** Document publicly on GitHub from day one — this becomes the open-source artifact that NLnet's mandate requires and that the Crowd Supply application later evidences.
**Weeks 8–14 — pre-order soft launch to Kon waitlist.** Once the prototype demos end-to-end, build a "Founders Edition" landing page (Carrd or Webflow, ~£80–£300) with Stripe `payment_intent` and explicit T&Cs covering the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the Consumer Contracts Regs 2013, the 14-day cooling-off, the estimated delivery window (promise nine months even if the real estimate is six), and the Section 75 chargeback context. Single-shot solicitor review ~£200 (worth it). **Soft-launch to Kon's existing waitlist only — do not promote publicly. Cap at 100 units at £299 = £29,900 maximum, comfortably under the £90k VAT threshold.** Ringfence the cash in a separate business savings account; do not spend deferred revenue on operating costs.
**Weeks 12–24 — first real PCB, NLnet money lands.** With the NLnet decision in hand by August (success or not, the momentum is real) and pre-order cash secured, do the first real PCB design in KiCad. Use a Raytac MDBT53-1M pre-certified module to dodge the EMC chamber bill. Order ten boards via JLCPCB Economic SMT assembly with DDP shipping (~£200 all-in). Order the SLS body from 3DPrintUK and the CNC anodised faceplate from JLCCNC. **Target ten finished prototypes by end of January 2027.** This is also the right window to seed the prototype with Microlink/Iansyst/AbilityNet assessors for letters of support — even informal "yes, this is interesting, send us a unit when you have one" emails are useful evidence for the next step.
**Weeks 24–36 — Crowd Supply application and pre-launch prep.** Apply to Crowd Supply (https://www.crowdsupply.com/apply) once the ten prototypes are in hand, the GitHub repo is mature, and 50–100 pre-orders are validated. Application review: ~2 weeks. Statement of Work negotiation: ~3 weeks. Pre-launch prep with their team (video, copy, image assets, BoM review, pricing): 8–16 weeks. Live campaign: 30–45 days. **Target campaign launch: Q3 2027.**
**Weeks 36–60 — production and fulfilment.** Crowd Supply campaign closes, funds disbursed within two weeks. Production run via JJS Manufacturing in Lutterworth (the geography earns the "Made in UK" story; the proximity to Northampton makes site visits feasible). Bulk DDP consignment to Mouser Texas, Mouser fulfils to backers globally, residual inventory becomes a permanent Mouser SKU for long-tail revenue. **First units shipping ~Q1 2028.**
**Total elapsed time: ~22 months from today to first units shipped.** This is slower than the Path B and Path C scenarios in the original brief — but it is realistic for a side project to a primary software product, with a founder profile that genuinely cannot sustain six-month grant-writing marathons, and crucially it does not cannibalise Kon software development. The first 12 months of this sequence run on roughly 8 hours of hardware work per week; the second 12 months ramp to 15–20 hours per week as Crowd Supply pre-launch begins.
The total external capital required from the founder personally over this period is **roughly £1,200**: £600 dev hardware, £200 Ltd-company-and-T&Cs setup, £200 PCB iterations beyond what NLnet covers, £200 contingency. This sits comfortably within the £2k discretionary budget with ~£800 of headroom for unexpected costs.

## 7. Risks and what could derail this
The single largest risk is **Kon software stalling because the hardware is more fun**. Hardware is novel, tactile, photogenic — it produces dopamine in a way that another bug-fixing session in Tauri/Svelte does not. The hardware project must remain explicitly secondary. The operating discipline: no hardware work in any week where Kon software has not shipped a meaningful change. If Kon does not reach £2k MRR, the hardware does not ship. Full stop.
The second risk is **LE Audio source-side maturity**. Even on Nordic, sending LC3 *up* to a phone (acting as a microphone source, which is what Kon-Compatible needs) is less battle-tested than sending audio *down* to earbuds. Phone-side LE Audio support in Android 13+ and iOS 17+ exists but is reportedly flaky on many shipping handsets in 2026. Mitigation: support at least one fallback transport (BLE GATT custom + Wi-Fi/USB) for the first year; treat LE Audio as the headline capability but not the only path.
The third risk is **post-Brexit regulatory compliance on a powered radio device**. Even with a pre-certified Raytac module dodging the EMC chamber bill, the device still needs UKCA marking, PSTI compliance (UK Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act, in force for connectable consumer products — minimum password requirements, vulnerability disclosure policy, defined support period statement), and the EU Cyber Resilience Act mandatory from late 2027 (Nordic launched a flat-rate FOTA package in February 2026 specifically aimed at small customers needing CRA compliance — budget ~£400/year for this). Budget £1.5k–£5k for pre-compliance EMC at a UK lab (TÜV SÜD Fareham, Element Materials Hitchin, or ETL Wokingham) before launch.
The fourth risk is **pre-order non-delivery exposure**. Even via a Ltd company, Section 75 chargebacks expose the founder personally if reckless statements were made about delivery dates. Mitigation: the Ltd company structure, conservative delivery promises (nine months on the page, six in the head), the ringfenced cash account, and a hard cap on pre-order units in year one.
The fifth risk is **grant rejection cascading into discouragement**. NLnet has roughly a 15–25% success rate for well-aligned proposals; rejection is the modal outcome. Mitigation: treat NLnet as one input to the sequence, not a gate. The pre-order soft launch and Crowd Supply application both proceed regardless of NLnet's decision — the grant accelerates the timeline by ~3 months and de-risks the prototype budget, but it is not the critical path.
The sixth risk is **enclosure cost overrun**. The £45–£55 per-unit prototype enclosure cost assumes a clean first-pass design. First passes are never clean. Realistic budget: two enclosure design iterations at ~£500 each, paid out of the contingency.

## 8. Open questions to validate further
The investigation surfaced eight questions that warrant further work before they become blocking issues:
**Phone-side LE Audio compatibility in 2026.** Specific testing required across iPhone 17/18, Pixel 9/10, Samsung S25/S26, OnePlus, and Nothing handsets to confirm LC3 source-mode reception works reliably end-to-end. The Nordic Audio DK can act as the source for these tests cheaply — budget a long weekend.
**NIHR Invention for Innovation (i4i) programme.** Flagged as a missing pathway in the funding research. The i4i fund supports medical/health-tech device development at £50k–£1m and has historically supported assistive devices. Worth a 30-minute investigation into current call status and whether Kon-Compatible can credibly be framed as mental-health-adjacent assistive tech.
**Sifam Tinsley custom dial face minimum order quantity and lead time.** Quoted as 50+ units at 6–8 weeks based on community report; needs a direct quote with a CAD file to confirm exact pricing. If the MOQ is genuinely 50, the v1 prototype run of 10 must use the off-the-shelf AL19 face, which is a meaningful design compromise.
**Microlink, Iansyst and AbilityNet assessor onboarding criteria.** Each provider has informal vendor-onboarding processes that are not publicly documented. A short call with each (info@iansyst.co.uk, sam@microlinkpc.com, enquiries@abilitynet.org.uk) before the prototype is finished would shape the hardware spec and generate letters of support for the NLnet application.
**Crowd Supply pricing and fulfilment calculator for the specific BOM.** Their published pricing guide (https://www.crowdsupply.com/guide/pricing-products) gives the framework, but exact per-item fulfilment costs depend on weight, packaged dimensions and whether free international shipping is offered. Pre-application conversation with Crowd Supply (they accept introductory emails) would calibrate the realistic campaign goal.
**UK Ltd company versus sole-trader trade-offs given exec dysfunction.** A Ltd company adds annual filing burden (Confirmation Statement, accounts, Corporation Tax return) which may itself be an executive-function tax. Some founders find this manageable with a £30/month accountancy package (Crunch, FreeAgent + accountant); others find it derailing. Worth a candid conversation with an ADHD-aware UK accountant before forming the company.
**Tusting (Northampton) leather strap pricing at qty 50.** Direct geographic proximity to the founder makes this an attractive partnership, with a "made in Northampton, by hand, for a Northampton-built device" story that could earn local press. Needs a direct quote.
**JJS Manufacturing (Lutterworth) versus continuing with JLCPCB at qty 100.** The 35-minute drive from Northampton makes JJS the logical UK EMS partner, but their per-unit cost at qty 100 is likely 1.5–2× JLCPCB. The "Made in UK" story versus the cost saving is a genuine trade-off — quote both, decide based on what the Crowd Supply audience actually values, and be honest in the campaign about where assembly happens.
---
The shape of the answer to "is this buildable?" is yes, on this exact path: Nordic silicon, Sifam analogue VU, Tusting leather strap, JLCPCB prototyping graduating to JJS Manufacturing for production, NLnet money first, Kon-waitlist pre-orders second, Crowd Supply third, and a hard discipline that the hardware never ships before Kon software hits £2k MRR. The two-year horizon is honest. The £1,200 personal-capital exposure is honest. The 22-month elapsed timeline is honest. None of it is fast, but all of it is real.
