The compute-time error told users to raise a generation timeout that had no control anywhere in the app — the only knob was an environment variable, and on Windows the docs explicitly warn against the usual way of setting one. Both budgets are now editable in Settings under Performance & Device, persisted and applied on the next start.
Two defects found in review and fixed here rather than shipped: an explicit universal budget silently overrode a separately saved CPU budget, so the CPU row would have looked like it worked and done nothing; and a value already set in the environment shadowed the saved preference while the panel still reported success. A shadowed row now says so instead. Long-input warnings also fire on Apple Silicon, which gets the accelerated budget and was the device in one of the duplicate reports.
Fixes#1787. Closes the reports tracked in #1774 and #1778.
The panel printed every chosen value three times and held twelve control rows open before anyone touched it. Details now collapse to a single recipe line that expands on request, gender/age/pitch/style become selects, and English accent and Chinese dialect merge into one grouped field so the combination the engine rejects cannot be selected at all. Starting points show five with an overflow, the bottom-bar slider is labelled Steps, and the panel ends where its content ends.
Also fixes two races found in review: a manual pick or a cleared description now beats an in-flight describe response, and arrow-key chip navigation moves focus without resetting the design.
Voice Design rendered EnglishAccent and ChineseDialect as two unlinked controls, so a user could select both and only learn they conflict from a 400 after a round trip. A shared exclusive-groups map now mirrors the engine's rule across every path that builds or restores instruct state: the live picker, free-text entry, saved-profile and imported-session restore, plus a message-matching backstop for a conflict arriving by any other route. Picking one clears the other with a visible reason instead of a silent reset. Fixes#1771.
The Japanese clone.cleaning status read 掃除中 (tidying up a room) instead of ノイズ除去中, which is what the step actually does: denoising the reference audio. Thanks @j30231!
Corrects 231 machine-translation defects in the Korean locale and translates all 493 previously missing keys, dropping ko to zero in the missing-key baseline. Includes terminology consistency (Cinematic, export, UI scale) and fixes copy that named the wrong control. Maintainer commits merged current main and folded in the five live-preview keys added by #1769. Thanks @j30231!
Opt-in watch folder on the batch queue: pick a directory once and new videos are auto-enqueued with the last Add-to-queue settings, with pause/stop controls and copy-in-progress protection. Files stream to the loopback backend as bytes; paths never leave the app. Also gives the batch queue a reachable UI entry point and streams multipart uploads to disk. Maintainer fix: the watched directory handle is opened with full share mode on Windows so users can rename or delete the folder while it is watched, matching macOS/Linux behaviour, with a cross-platform regression test. Thanks @mvanhorn!
Opt-in live preview for dub segments: edits debounce into a streamed /ws/tts synthesis played through the chunk player, with cancellation preserved through buffered playback. Maintainer fixes: /ws/tts added to the backend ticket allowlist (feature was dead off-loopback), handshake failures surface a toast, loopback-only plaintext refusal reverted to keep the documented remote-GPU setup working, PCM16 decode hardened. Thanks @mvanhorn!
* feat(audiobook): synced-lyrics player
Replace the bare <audio controls> in the audiobook result with a player
that renders the chapter text and highlights the word under
audio.currentTime, karaoke-style. Timing reuses what the render stream
already emits — per-chapter duration_s on the chapter SSE events — with
words even-split inside each chapter (the karaoke burn-in's old-job
fallback, ported from services/karaoke_ass.py); after a reload the whole
book even-splits over the file's own duration. No ASR pass, no new
backend surface, nothing leaves the machine. Download keeps going
through the Tauri-safe downloadMedia util.
New pure helper utils/audiobookLyrics.js mirrors the longform parser's
chapter drop rules so cue indices line up with the stream's chapter
list, and degrades to the proportional split on any drift (script
edited after the render, stopped mid-book). Words are buttons —
click-to-seek, keyboard reachable — restyled as prose in index.css.
audiobook.lyrics translated in all 21 locales.

* feat(dub): project-level drag casting board
Adds an expandable Casting Board to the dub editor's CAST strip: speaker
rows (with the auto-clone chip when the extractor found a usable passage)
and draggable voice chips — Default, clone profiles, design presets.
Dropping a chip on a speaker writes the exact fields the CAST <select>
always has (profile_id + merge_parts/merge_parts_original attribution),
via a shared assignSpeakerProfile helper both views now call, so the
dropdowns stay in sync and job persistence is unchanged. Keyboard path:
focus a speaker row, pick from a listbox (arrows/Enter/Escape).
The pre-existing CAST dropdown strip moves verbatim into the new
CastingBoard.jsx (DubLeftColumn shrinks below 800 lines; the new file
holds the 300-line soft cap). Styles extend the .dub-cast-* cluster in
index.css. Six new i18n keys translated in all 21 locales.

Adds opt-in word-timed ASS karaoke captions while preserving the existing line-caption default.\n\nCo-authored-by: Matt Van Horn <mvanhorn@users.noreply.github.com>
Closes#1718.
Adds structured pre-install and measured post-install disk costs, complete sidecar preflight accounting, strict authorization for recursive scans, and localized catalogue details with confidence and deduplication context.
Closes#1709.
Queues SRT selection until speaker analysis and clone extraction finish, then applies the newest selected subtitle file with stale-result, failure, replacement, retry, and abort guards.
Preserve audible, language-matched playback when WebView video decoding falls back, keep waveform timing aligned with the selected dub, prevent recursive recovery failures, and disable stale audio caching.
Closes#1692.
Closes#1689.
Uses the Catalogue workspace width for readable engine rows, keeps status badges out of engine names, and collapses by the named Tauri-scaled container. Compact Settings rows remain unchanged.
Redesign Model Catalogue as one responsive workspace canvas with a compact wide-screen header, simplified navigation, and a single primary scroll plane.
Closes#1685.
Fixes#1677 and #1678.
Publishes first-run media tools to the live backend, provides precise cross-platform missing-process guidance, and keeps localized source-language selection available before transcription. Includes regression coverage and deterministic model-store test isolation.
Move unbounded Stories and Audiobook project data to revisioned IndexedDB storage with bounded local fallback, durable clear tombstones, migration/recovery safeguards, and deadline-safe persistence before exits and relaunches.
Closes#1636.
Fix the post-merge Vitest failure by invalidating CaptureWidget startup continuations and releasing timers, sockets, recorder/worklet state, and microphone streams on teardown. Adds fail-before/pass-after coverage for active capture, pending fallback, delayed microphone permission, and delayed WebSocket authentication.
Adds per-line subtitle timing, insertion, and bidirectional merge controls while preserving each speaker's attribution across merge/split, restore, translation, and cast edits. Includes regression coverage and localization updates. Closes#1612.
* fix(dictation): refresh accessibility blocker
* docs(changelog): note accessibility refresh
* test(dictation): assert the native widget hide on accessibility grant
The recheck regression asserted only that the Accessibility pill text left
the DOM, so it still passed with hideWidgetWindow() removed and the native
capsule stranded on screen. Hold one stable getCurrentWindow().hide spy and
assert it after the poll (fails before the fix, passes after).
