Kon Handover — 2026/04/23

Consolidation session. Jake asked for "all branches to main and the repo in its best state" ahead of Corbie rebrand. This session brought outstanding Dependabot PRs into main, cleaned workspace lints, recovered an orphan stash onto a dedicated branch, and established a clean baseline for the post-rebrand push.

Rebrand note

The product is in the process of being renamed Kon → Corbie. As of 2026/04/23 the canonical product name in any new copy (grant applications, landing pages) is Corbie (sentence case). The GitHub repo jakejars/kon and the Gitea repo jake/kon both still carry the kon name, intentionally — repo rename is pending Jake's own hand and is not blocking the rebrand copy-wise. Code paths (crates/, src-tauri/, package name kon@0.1.0) remain as-is until the repo rename lands; renaming the codebase identifiers is a separate coordinated sweep. See memory/project_corbie_rebrand.md in CORBEL-Main for the full rebrand state.

What shipped this session

Baseline validation

Fresh cargo build, cargo test --workspace, cargo fmt --check, npm run check, npm run build run against the pre-consolidation tip (9b0067b, tagged as pre-consolidation-2026-04-23 for recovery).
npm run build initially failed with a missing-dependency error for @chenglou/pretext. Root cause: stale partial node_modules install dated 2026-04-21 07:45 — the directory for the package existed but was empty. npm install recovered it; package is present in lockfile and needed by src/lib/utils/textMeasure.ts.
cargo clippy -- -D warnings initially failed with 3 errors in crates/storage/src/file_storage.rs (two doc-list overindentations, one needless return). These were trivial style issues that clippy had never enforced at CI strictness.

Workspace clippy cleanup (commit `fe61661`)

Applied cargo clippy --fix across 11 files: crates/audio, crates/hotkey, crates/storage, crates/transcription, src-tauri.
Net -2 lines. No behavioural changes — pure lint cleanup (needless returns, unnecessary casts, iter().any() → contains(), repeat().take() → repeat_n, lifetime elision, map_or simplification, reference-immediately-dereferenced).
One remaining warning left untouched: needless_range_loop at src-tauri/src/commands/live.rs:1089 — clippy's suggested iterator rewrite would make it less readable. Earmarked for a focused refactor session.
Build + 245 workspace tests remain green post-fix.

Dependabot merges (commits `6579c5f`, `0b1c492`, `509b983`)

Three dev-dep bumps landed as --no-ff merge commits:

#	Package	File changes
1	`picomatch`	`package-lock.json` only
2	`@sveltejs/kit`	`package.json` + `package-lock.json`
3	`vite` (npm_and_yarn group)	`package.json` + `package-lock.json`

After the three merges: npm install clean, npm run build green, npm run check 0 errors / 0 warnings. Vulnerability count went from 6 (1 low / 2 moderate / 3 high) to 5 (3 low / 2 moderate) — the three highs cleared.

Orphan-stash recovery (branch `feat/design-system-recover`, commit `8855db8`)

A WIP stash sat on stash@{0}, pinned to parent commit 1296173 — the tip of the deleted feat/design-system branch. ~1000 LOC across 24 files: ai-formatting/rule_based.rs rewrite, transcription/local_engine.rs, core hardware.rs + recommendation.rs, audio/resample.rs, and a sweep across Svelte UI (TaskSidebar, FilesPage, TasksPage, WipTaskList, ModelDownloader, Titlebar, viewer, float).
Recovered using git stash branch, which creates a branch from the stash's parent commit and applies the stash content. Parent commit still existed in the reflog even though no branch referenced it.
Committed the full recovery as wip(design-system): recover orphan stash on the new branch. Not merged to main. Needs a focused rebase session: heavy conflicts expected in TasksPage, FilesPage, ai-formatting/rule_based.rs, and transcription/local_engine.rs against current main since those all saw release-blocker fixes after the stash was taken. Also missing the 2026-04-23 clippy cleanup.
Branch pushed to github for remote preservation.

Release-blocker state (unchanged this session)

From docs/issues/README.md:

0 open CRITICAL
1 open MAJOR — RB-08 power-assertion-macos-objc2 (awaits manual runtime verification on a real macOS machine: pmset -g assertions during a background live-session)
11 RBs resolved
11 CR items resolved from the 2026-04-22 code review

RB-08 continues to gate v0.1 tagging.

Deferred (unchanged from 2026/04/19 handover unless noted)

RB-08 verification — needs macOS hardware access
Design-system work — parked on feat/design-system-recover; revisit in a dedicated session
live.rs:1089 needless_range_loop refactor — clippy suggestion is ugly, deserves a real rewrite
Kon → Corbie codebase rename — package name, crate prefixes, repo name on Gitea + GitHub. Coordinated sweep, not yet scheduled
Transparent windows, file-system export, bulk select/export, LLM content tags, Settings UX overhaul, Task 7 walk-through — all carried over from 2026-04-19 handover
CI clippy enforcement — 1 warning remains on main; turning on -D warnings in CI means either fixing it or explicit #[allow]

Repo state at session end

main at 509b983 — 7 commits ahead of origin at session start (1 clippy + 3 dependabot original commits + 3 merge commits)
feat/design-system-recover at 8855db8 — WIP recovery, pushed to github only
Tags: pre-consolidation-2026-04-23 points at 9b0067b (restore anchor)
Stashes: none
Dependabot branches: still present locally; can be pruned now that merges landed

Full pre-push verification (Phase 5)

Run at end of session — see commit log after 509b983 for the verification commit, and outputs/ for the full log.
