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

Session handover — 2026/04/18 dogfooding sprint |
Kon Handover — 2026/04/18
Current state
Phase 1 brand migration and Phase 2 polish are both complete and committed. Today was the first dogfood attempt — Vulkan GPU build is in progress but not yet confirmed working. Three bugs were caught and fixed during the first launch attempt.
What's working
- 18/18 automated validation checks pass (Playwright,
python3 /tmp/kon_validation.py) - Pre-warm fixed —
tauri::async_runtime::spawninstead oftokio::spawn; model loads in background before first dictation - Preferences infinite loop fixed —
Object.assignmutation instead of object reassignment; Svelte 5 module state now stable - DOM hydration fixed —
applyToDOMcalled on store init sodata-themeis always set, even without Tauri webview injection - Vulkan feature flag committed —
whisper-vulkanincrates/transcription/Cargo.toml docs/dev-setup.md— authoritative dependency and launch reference
What's left
Immediate — Vulkan GPU build
Vulkan build was not yet confirmed. Three system packages needed before it will compile:
sudo dnf install vulkan-headers vulkan-loader-devel glslc
Then launch:
cd /home/jake/Documents/CORBEL-Projects/kon
LIBCLANG_PATH=/usr/lib64/llvm21/lib64 npm run tauri dev
Confirm GPU active in startup logs:
whisper_backend_init_gpu: device 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
Manual validation (requires running app)
Three items from the validation checklist that need real Tauri runtime:
- Persistence test — set non-default zone/font, close, relaunch, verify zero flash
- Cross-window preferences — open float/viewer windows, check they hydrate correctly
- 90-second onboarding — fresh-model launch, first dictation under 90s
Pre-release (before any build beyond Jake's machine)
- Updater signing key —
tauri signer generate, public key →tauri.conf.json, private key → CI secrets - ggml dedup — plan at
docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-18-kon-ggml-dedup.md, Option A (system-ggml shared lib), execute at Phase 3
Gotchas discovered today
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
libclang not on PATH |
set -Ux LIBCLANG_PATH /usr/lib64/llvm21/lib64 |
tokio::spawn panics in Tauri setup() |
Use tauri::async_runtime::spawn — Tokio runtime isn't live yet during setup |
Svelte 5 $effect infinite loop on updatePreferences |
Module-level $state must be mutated (Object.assign), never reassigned — stale references break loop guards |
Duplicate theme sync $effect in both +layout.svelte and SettingsPage.svelte |
Removed from SettingsPage — layout handles it |
| Vulkan build needs dev headers + shader compiler | sudo dnf install vulkan-headers vulkan-loader-devel glslc |
Resume prompt
Picking up Kon dogfooding from the 2026/04/18 session.
HANDOVER is at HANDOVER.md in the project root.
First job: confirm Vulkan GPU build compiles and check startup logs for RTX 4070.
Then run the three manual validation items from the handover.
