Phase 9 of the rebrand cascade. Sweep covers everything the Phase 8
frontend pass deliberately skipped: docs/, root markdown, scripts,
Cargo.toml descriptions, code comments that survived earlier
word-boundary sed, plus a handful of identifiers caught on the final
verify pass.
transcription-app changes:
- README.md, HANDOVER.md, KNOWN-ISSUES.md, run.sh — magnotia/Magnotia
-> lumotia/Lumotia.
- docs/ — sweep across all subdirs except docs/handovers/ (preserved
as immutable audit trail). Includes architecture-map references
to magnotia_core::*, magnotia_storage::*, etc. now pointing at
lumotia_*; dev-setup.md tracing output examples (lumotia_startup
target); brief/ + superpowers/ + issues/ + whisper-ecosystem/ +
audit/.
- Cargo.toml descriptions on 9 crates (core, audio, cloud-providers,
hotkey, llm, mcp, plus referenced others).
- crates/core/src/{error,hardware,recommendation,paths}.rs +
crates/audio/src/wav.rs + crates/llm/src/model_manager.rs +
crates/cloud-providers/src/keystore.rs + crates/mcp/src/lib.rs —
doc comments and a model-manager user-agent string.
- Caught on final pass: BroadcastChannel("magnotia_task_sync") -> ...
("lumotia_task_sync"); magnotia_locale i18n localStorage key
renamed + migration shim added; CSS keyframe names
magnotiaPulse / magnotiaBar / magnotiaFade renamed in the design-
system kit; magnotia_viewer_item / magnotia_viewer_mode handoff
keys renamed in HistoryPage + viewer/+page.svelte; src/assets/
wordmark.svg text.
- src-tauri/src/lib.rs comment cleanup ("magnotia era" was sed'd
to "lumotia era" earlier — restored).
Preserved (intentional):
- crates/core/src/paths.rs — keeps "magnotia" / "Magnotia" / ".magnotia"
legacy detection strings in legacy_and_target_paths() so the
migration shim can still find user data from the magnotia era.
- src/lib/stores/{page,focusTimer}.svelte.ts + src/lib/i18n/index.ts
— migration call sites reference the legacy magnotia keys
deliberately.
- docs/handovers/ — historical audit trail.
cargo build --workspace passes. npm run check: 0 errors / 0 warnings
(3958 files). cargo test --workspace: 339 pass / 0 fail.

A6. Voice User Interfaces as Executive Bypasses
Core finding: Voice interfaces are vastly superior to GUIs for populations with ADHD, cognitive impairment, or traumatic brain injuries. Yet ADHD was mentioned in 47.6% of neurodiverse community posts about voice assistants whilst academic literature "greatly lacks any information" on how ADHD individuals use them (Esquivel et al. 2024).
- Voice activation bypasses the visual and mechanical bottlenecks of GUI interaction (typing, mouse navigation, visual scanning, sequential menu navigation) — all of which require sustained top-down executive functioning.
- Vocalisation is approximately 3x faster than manual keyboard entry.
- VUI design constraints for cognitive accessibility: engineered pauses between phrases for auditory processing time, options presented in text before requiring selection to avoid overloading verbal working memory.
- Current voice assistants impose their own setup complexity — Lumotia must minimise this to near-zero.
Implication for Lumotia: Voice is not a convenience feature — it is the primary accessibility mechanism. The 3x speed advantage means voice capture preserves working memory traces that would decay during typing. VUI implementation must include processing pauses and visual confirmation of transcribed text before action. The supply-demand gap (47.6% community interest vs. near-zero academic research) represents a significant opportunity for Lumotia to generate its own evidence through ethically designed measurement.
