Phase 10a — Stabilization Gate

Scope

This checkpoint updates the 2026/04/25 handover and static Phase 10a audit for the current local main, which is two commits ahead of origin/main.

Current local-only commits inspected:

  • c95a5dadocs(roadmap): bookmark SIE + adjacent embeddings/rerank/extract servers for PKM phase
  • 6bc8accfeat(transcription): Phase A — engine protocol + registry + orchestrator (clean-room)

Findings

PKM roadmap bookmark

Low release risk. The SIE / embeddings / rerank / extraction note is documentation-only and explicitly marked deferred. It should not affect v0.1 runtime or QA scope.

Phase A transcription orchestrator

Medium architectural scope, low immediate runtime risk.

The commit adds:

  • crates/cloud-providers/src/provider.rs
  • crates/transcription/src/registry.rs
  • crates/transcription/src/orchestrator.rs
  • wiring exports/dependencies plus KNOWN-ISSUES.md KI-06

The implementation is deliberately dormant for current app paths. Existing transcribe_file, live transcription, and meeting flows still call the existing local engine path directly. KI-06 documents the required follow-up: build the registry at app boot, inject Arc<Orchestrator> into AppState, and migrate command call sites through the orchestrator with mock-provider coverage.

Decision for v0.1 release flow: keep the Phase A commit only if the dormant boundary remains green; do not expand scope into Phase A.1 before Phase 10a unless a direct release blocker requires it.

Verification run

Command run from repo root:

cargo fmt --check && \
  cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings && \
  cargo test --workspace && \
  npm run check && \
  npm run build

Final result: PASS.

Notes:

  • Initial run failed cargo fmt --check; cargo fmt was applied.
  • Current Rust/Clippy toolchain also surfaced a few warning-as-error issues unrelated to the new orchestrator surface:
    • manual_range_contains in crates/core/src/tuning.rs
    • assertions_on_constants in crates/core/src/tuning.rs
    • println_empty_string in transcription benchmark tests
    • trim_split_whitespace in transcription benchmark helper
  • Those were fixed minimally to restore -D warnings cleanliness.

Files changed by stabilization

Rust formatting touched multiple existing files. Semantic clippy fixes were limited to:

  • crates/core/src/tuning.rs
  • crates/transcription/tests/jfk_bench.rs
  • crates/transcription/tests/thread_sweep.rs

This audit file records why those changes exist.

Recommendation

Resume the original Phase 10a plan now, with this added gate satisfied:

  1. Current HEAD is green.
  2. Post-handover commits are inspected.
  3. Phase A orchestrator work is classified as dormant / post-v0.1 follow-up, not a reason to expand release scope.

Next work remains the manual/runtime Phase 10a checklist:

  • Dogfood walkthrough from HANDOVER.md
  • Runtime keyboard / focus / contrast / reduced-motion checks
  • RB-08 macOS power-assertion verification by Rachmann
  • Clean-install test once release artefacts are available
  • Manual GitHub Actions build workflow before tagging v0.1.0
