Adds two zero-shot voice-cloning TTS engines requested in #498, both opt-in and subprocess-isolated with their own dedicated venv — the same pattern as IndexTTS-2. The dedicated venv is forced, not just chosen: each upstream pins a transformers version that conflicts with the parent's >=5.3 (MOSS-TTS-v1.5 ==5.0.0, dots.tts ==4.57.0), so they cannot share the parent interpreter. Because they use the clone+venv bootstrap (env var -> clone -> uv venv), this touches no pyproject.toml / uv.lock / bun.lock — `uv sync --all-extras` and Docker's `bun install --frozen-lockfile` are unchanged, so main's CI/Docker matrix stays green. Engines: - moss-tts-v15: 8B, 31 langs, ~16 GB weights, 24 kHz. AutoModel/ AutoProcessor via trust_remote_code. gpu_compat=(cuda,cpu) — MPS is undocumented/untested upstream so it is never claimed; on a Mac it runs on CPU. Apache-2.0, no license gate. - dots-tts: 2B, 24 langs, ~9 GB weights, 48 kHz. DotsTtsRuntime; continuation cloning (prompt_audio_path+prompt_text). Upstream is Linux/macOS-only, so is_available() gates it off cleanly on Windows (cross-platform parity rule — it is opt-in, never a broken default). Wiring: registered in _LAZY_REGISTRY + _INSTALL_HINTS. list_backends() surfaces both as subprocess/[cuda,cpu]/available-until-installed; the data-driven Settings engine picker needs no frontend change. Tests (19, fail-before/pass-after): registry resolution, subprocess marker, no-MPS gpu_compat, the Windows gate, not-installed honesty, and the parent-side generate() kwarg arbitration. Existing engine suite still 55 passed / 5 skipped. Sidecar inference follows the upstream-documented APIs but, like IndexTTS/Supertonic, can't be executed in CI without the multi-GB model clones. Docs (same-PR per docs-sync rule): README + README_CN engine tables, new docs/engines/moss-tts-v15.md + dots-tts.md, disk-usage.md (torch-dedup note), CHANGELOG.

The bundled TTS model package (pyproject.toml) is versioned independently.
[Unreleased]
Added
- Two opt-in heavyweight TTS engines: MOSS-TTS-v1.5 (8B) and dots.tts (2B).
Both are zero-shot voice-cloning engines added per #498,
running in their own isolated subprocess venv (each pins a
transformersversion that conflicts with the parent's>=5.3— MOSS==5.0, dots.tts==4.57) via the same dedicated-venv pattern as IndexTTS-2. PointOMNIVOICE_MOSS_TTS_V15_DIR/OMNIVOICE_DOTS_TTS_DIRat a local clone to enable. CUDA/CPU only — neither claims Apple-Silicon MPS; dots.tts upstream is Linux/macOS only (gated off on Windows). No change to the default install or its lockfile. See docs/engines/moss-tts-v15.md and docs/engines/dots-tts.md. (#498)
Fixed
- Audio playback on Linux Firefox/Chrome and Android Chrome. Two separate
root causes both masquerade as "the play button doesn't work" on non-macOS
browsers — and both are invisible when developing on macOS, which is why they
shipped. (1) The backend served
.wav/.flacwith Python's defaultaudio/x-wav/audio/x-flac(vendor-experimental, never IANA-registered); macOS CoreAudio MIME-sniffs leniently and plays anyway, but Linux FFmpeg and Android ExoPlayer strictly honor the declared type and prompt to download. Fixed by registering the canonicalaudio/wav/audio/flactypes before anyStaticFilesmount. (2) WaveSurfer'sAudioContextis constructed at component-mount time — i.e. before any user gesture — so on Linux FF/Chrome and Android Chrome it stayssuspended,decodeAudioDatahangs, thereadyevent never fires, and the play button never enables. macOS Safari/Chrome auto-resume on first interaction. Fixed by patchingwindow.AudioContextto track every instance and resuming them on the firstpointerdown/keydown/touchstart, plus resuming inline on the play click itself. The MIME fix has a backend regression test; the unlock path has a Vitest unit test covering idempotency, post-unlock contexts, and error isolation. (#510)
[0.3.6] — 2026-06-16
A large release (168 commits since v0.3.5). The headline is the Longform suite — produce full audiobooks and multi-voice stories from text, EPUB, or PDF — alongside a real engine-routing layer that tells you up front when an engine will fall back to CPU instead of finding out mid-synth. Dubbing, first-run, and install reliability all get a pass too.
Added
- Longform: Stories + Audiobook editors. Two new tabs turn long text into
finished audio. Audiobook takes a script (or imports plain text / EPUB /
PDF), auto-splits it into chapters, and renders a chaptered
.m4bwith metadata, cover art, and per-chapter preview/resume. Stories is a multi-voice editor — assign a different voice per line, preview, and export the whole thing through the same server-side renderer. Both share one render core (loudness, metadata, cover art) and one live SSE progress stream, and you can convert a project between Story and Audiobook in place. (#402, #403, #404, #408, #409, #411, #412, #413, #426, #435, #436, #447) - Longform: PDF & EPUB ingest. "Import" on the Audiobook tab accepts EPUB and PDF (not just plain text) and auto-chapters the result, so an existing ebook becomes an audiobook without manual copy-paste. (#412, #459)
- Longform: two-pass loudnorm mastering. Audiobook/Story exports now run a measure-then-normalize loudnorm pass for accurate ACX/podcast loudness targets. A slow or broken measure pass degrades gracefully to single-pass rather than aborting the render. (#449, #455)
- Longform: crash-resume. An interrupted render is resumable without re-submitting the original input — the compiled plan is persisted to the job dir and finished chapters are reused, so a crash mid-book doesn't cost you the whole render. (#470)
- Longform: pronunciation control + SSML-lite prosody. A per-render
pronunciation lexicon (word respelling) plus an in-app pronunciation editor
and markup reference, and inline prosody markers —
[slow]/[fast]/[emphasis]/[spell]— for fine-grained delivery. (#419, #421, #422) - Stories: global reading-speed control. A toolbar slider (0.5–2.0×) sets one speed for every line that doesn't have its own per-line override; the per-line slider still wins. Persisted as a UI preference. (#415, #416)
- Unified LongformProject store. Audiobook metadata, scripts, and prefs
persist in a single project store (with a
v4→v5migration), and finished books/stories now show up alongside other work in Projects. (#417, #443, #444) - Portable personas (
.ovsvoice). Export any voice as a self-contained, fully-local persona bundle — identity, optional reference clip, consent attestation, SPDX license, and a watermarked preview — and import it back into another OmniVoice install. A privacy toggle ships a preview-only bundle so no raw recording of your voice has to travel. Verified-own-voice status can't be forged by hand-editing a bundle (real recording + consent text + attestation required). Legacy.omnivoicefiles still import. See docs/persona-format.md. (#29) - Engine routing — no more silent CPU fallback. A host device probe and
routing resolver now decide where each engine actually runs, and the verdict
is surfaced before you hit Synthesize: the Settings → Engines picker shows
a per-engine compatibility matrix, and preflight / diagnose report the
active engine's GPU verdict (accelerated / caveat / CPU-fallback /
unavailable). At synth time every TTS entry point (
/generate,/v1/audio/speech) enforces the same routing — an engine that can't use this host's GPU returns an explicit error or anX-OmniVoice-Routingheader instead of silently dropping to CPU or dying mid-synth. (#21) - Diagnostics suite. New self-check tooling for when something's wrong: a
/system/diagnosereport (and matching backend--diagnose), a persistent error journal surfaced in Settings, and a scrubbed diagnostic bundle (home dirs stripped to~/, no tokens/keys) you can attach to a bug report. Paired with structured GitHub Issue Forms (bug / install / feature) for cleaner reports. (#433, #456) - Dubbing: multi-speaker per-speaker voice assignment. When diarization detects multiple speakers, each segment is now bound to its speaker's cloned voice automatically instead of landing on "Default" and needing manual fixes; per-segment reference clips are still preferred for quality where present. Also adds an optional speaker-count hint for diarization. (#275, #486, #490)
- Dubbing: Smart Fit timing + second-pass QC. A Smart Fit timing strategy (planner, fingerprints, per-segment video retime + drift absorption + fitted subtitles) plus a second-pass ASR QC that flags lines whose dub drifts from the target timing — wired into the dub editor UI. Includes a timeline segment editor (drag, snap-to-onset, keyboard a11y), speech-onset alignment, regional dialect targeting, and per-segment clone references. (#280, #347, #350, #369, #370, #458)
- Dubbing: dedicated Dub home. A projects/history landing for dubbing with project rename. (#435)
- Voice Console workspace. Clone and Design are consolidated into one Voice workspace with right-side panels, a shared waveform player, an identity recipe line / Active-voice card, and a free-text "describe your voice" field that maps natural language to design parameters. (#317, #374, #376, #378, #395, #396, #397)
- Unified first-run setup. Nothing installs until you confirm a plan: pick an install mode (installed / portable), a storage location, and (on restricted networks) custom PyPI/HF/python-build-standalone mirrors — with a minimum-free-space gate before anything downloads. Followed by a guided studio-console wizard with platform-aware hints, resume reassurance, and download ETAs. (#286, #295, #297, #298)
- Dictation: local-LLM refinement. Opt-in local-LLM cleanup of final
transcripts (collapsing Whisper hallucination loops), available on both live
dictation and the REST
/transcribepath; plus opt-in NLMS acoustic echo cancellation for dictating over playback. Configure a remote LLM endpoint (Ollama / vLLM / LM Studio) in Settings. (#356, #357, #363, #399, #400, #457) - Unlimited-length TTS + streaming. Sentence-boundary chunking with
crossfade removes the per-generation length cap, and a new sentence-by-sentence
/ws/ttsstreams audio as it's produced. An inline[pause Nms]marker inserts measured silence in generated speech. (#276, #357, #358) - MCP server v1. OmniVoice mounts an MCP server on
/mcp(with a stdio shim and per-agent voice binding) so it can act as a local TTS/STT provider for agentic pipelines. (#368) - Remote-backend access. Point the desktop UI at a remote backend URL with a bearer key (Tailscale-documented), and an opt-in Hugging Face token field in the setup flow. (#303, #364)
- "Fund Claude Max" support experience. The donate page gets a real goal bar with a "Join N supporters" social-proof line and suggested amounts, plus Pip the mascot and a non-blocking "postcard" toast that appears only after a success (a finished dub, a saved clone, a longform export) — never on errors, setup, or first run — with escalating cooldowns and a one-click "don't ask again". (#494)
Fixed
- Transcription/dubbing failed when ffmpeg wasn't on
PATH(notably on Windows). WhisperX now decodes audio through OmniVoice's own validated ffmpeg binary instead of a barePATHlookup, so ASR works without a system ffmpeg install. (#479) - Translation defaulted the source language to English. Dubbing/translation
now guesses the source language from the text instead of assuming
en, fixing wrong-direction translations. (#478) - Cinematic / LLM dubbing features failed out of the box because
openaiwasn't bundled. The client is now a runtime dependency, so those paths work on a fresh install. (#484) pkg_resources missinginstall dead-end (#248). The auto-repair ranuv pip install setuptools, whichuvtreated as a no-op when setuptools metadata was present but its files had been removed (commonly by Windows Defender quarantine or a partial extract). Both repair sites now use--reinstallto force re-extraction, and the error/hint text suggests the working command plus an antivirus-exclusion note. (#248)- A stuck backend trapped users on a buttonless splash (#474). The bootstrap splash now has a per-stage stall watchdog: if a non-terminal stage sits past its budget (20 min for dep install, 120 s otherwise), it flips to the failed state with actionable hints, the live log, and Retry / Clean-&-Retry — instead of polling forever with no way out. (#474)
- Changing the model-download location in Settings had no effect (#480). The desktop launcher injected a stale models dir that overrode the per-user value, so new downloads kept going to the old folder and "Effective location" stayed wrong. The per-user env file now wins, so the in-app Settings path is authoritative. (#480)
- Backend crashed on app upgrade with a stale venv (#307). Dependencies are
now synced on upgrade, and a structurally broken venv self-heals instead of
exiting
106.scalar_fastapiis now optional so its absence can't break startup. (#307, #314) /generateignored the selected TTS engine (#312) and GGUF speech-control parameters weren't forwarded — both now honored. (#306, #312)- TTS generation failed on some GPUs.
torch.compilefailures now fall back to eager execution so generation never hard-fails on unsupported GPUs, and cudagraph-compiled inference is pinned to one dedicated thread to avoid crashes. (#278, #315) - Re-dub ignored transcript edits (#281). Fingerprints are canonicalized, the preview cache is busted, and the mux is atomic, so editing the transcript and re-dubbing actually reflects your changes. Translated subtitles now burn in correctly and subtitle save no longer throws a JSON error. (#281, #309)
- macOS: app wouldn't open without using Terminal. Builds are now ad-hoc signed (with signing/notarization verification), so the app launches normally. (#290)
- macOS dictation auto-paste stole focus; it now writes the clipboard natively without grabbing focus, and microphone-permission handling adds OS usage descriptions, a WebView grant handler, and an actionable denied-state UI. (#287, #323)
- Clone-reference transcription was broken (it used a removed transformers pipeline); it now routes through the ASR registry. A crash-isolated faster-whisper subprocess backend keeps an ASR crash from taking down the app. (#308, #393)
- Realtime status probe hit a gated route. It now probes the auth-exempt
/healthinstead of the gated/model/status, and the UI polls the backend over HTTP before opening the WebSocket to avoid startupECONNREFUSED. (#439, #450) - Non-executable or unreachable engine binaries showed cryptic errors — these now produce actionable messages. (#437, #438, #454, #466)
- Design-profile save was coupled to a TTS render (#476), so saving a profile needlessly triggered synthesis; the two are now decoupled. (#476)
- UI scale / black bands. The app shell now scales via
transform: scaleand always fills the viewport, fixing the WebKitGTK black-band issue on Linux and cramped/black layouts at narrow widths — a permanent fix across platforms. (#445, #452) - Clone popover/CTA clipping and a non-resizable textarea are fixed, the WaveformPlayer no longer pauses itself on play or ignores clicks, and several layout/history-display issues (phantom sidebar gap, title clamping, flicker) are cleaned up. (#379, #384, #398, #481)
- Windows:
desktop-prodnow runs from cmd/PowerShell via a cross-platform launcher,tqdmis disabled on non-TTY to avoid anOSError, and ffmpeg validation guards againstWinError 193. (#282, #305, #377) - MLX import hardened against PyInstaller dylib failures, with a proper platform gate so it's only loaded where it works. (#390)
Changed
- Restricted-network support. A Hugging Face mirror (
HF_ENDPOINT) setting, custom PyPI / HF / python-build-standalone mirrors in first-run setup, and region presets help installs complete behind restrictive networks. (#286, #391) - Engine memory management. Subprocess-engine sidecars now unload on demand and idle-reap to free VRAM. (#401, #406)
- Faster, more accurate model downloads via a Xet fast path with accurate progress reporting, plus a model-management cleanup pass. (#424, #428)
- Voice profiles unified under one model with a
kinddiscriminator and stored design params, and consent-locked profiles (verified_own_voice+ spoken-consent flow). (#354, #376) - Updater preview channel now offers the newest build across channels, and preview versions carry an MSI-legal numeric pre-release stamp. (#293, #326)
- Performance. Voice-clone prompt embeddings are cached, and dub retime batches seek to their window instead of decoding from frame 0. (#387, #427)
License
- Relicensed from FSL-1.1-ALv2 to AGPL-3.0 (open-core). The project is now
under the GNU Affero General Public License v3, with a paid commercial license
retained for proprietary/closed-source use without AGPL obligations. The
bundled
omnivoice/TTS model package stays Apache-2.0 upstream (AGPL-compatible). Manifests declareAGPL-3.0-only; the in-app Commercial License copy and README are updated, and the old "converts to Apache 2.0 after two years" FAQ is removed. In-app commercial-license strings are translated across all 20 locales. (#292)
CI
- macOS Intel (x86_64) build target reinstated on
macos-15-intel, so Intel Mac users get installers again. (#342) - Docker Hub publishing. Images now also publish to Docker Hub
(
palashdeb/omnivoice-studio), with the Docker Hub overview maintained in-repo and auto-synced frommain(sync is non-fatal so it can't redden a build). (#375, #410, #414) - Docs-drift guard. A daily job compares the canonical feature inventory against README / docs / registries to catch stale docs. (#353)
- Security scans never cancel on
main, so merge trains no longer leave red ✗ on intermediate commits. (#340)
[0.3.5] — 2026-06-03
Fixed
- Speaker diarization failed on PyTorch ≥ 2.6 (
Weights only load failed … Unsupported global: torch.torch_version.TorchVersion) even with the pyannote license accepted. PyTorch 2.6 madetorch.loaddefault toweights_only=True, whose secure unpickler rejects the pyannote checkpoint's metadata globals. The diarization loader now registers the same safe-globals allowlist the WhisperX VAD load already uses, so the secure load succeeds. (#270)
[0.3.4] — 2026-06-03
Fixed
- Transcription on Windows + NVIDIA failed with
Could not locate cudnn_ops_infer64_8.dll. WhisperX/faster-whisper need cuDNN 8 (via CTranslate2); when the side-loadedcudnn8_compatlibs are missing, the PyTorch Whisper backend (Settings → Models) now works as a drop-in fallback — it builds its own transformers pipeline on PyTorch's cuDNN-9 stack, with no CTranslate2/cuDNN-8 dependency and noOMNIVOICE_PRELOAD_TTS_ASR=1required. (#255)
[0.3.3] — 2026-06-03
Fixed
- Settings → About showed the wrong architecture in the Docker/web build.
The "Architecture" row rendered the client browser's platform
(
navigator.platform→ e.g. "Win32"); it now reports the server's CPU architecture from the backend (platform.machine()), correct for both the desktop app and Docker. The blank version/GPU/RAM/VRAM in the same report were the loopback-gate 403s already fixed in v0.3.2. (#262)
CI
- The release SHA-256 checksum step no longer uses
mapfile(a bash 4+ builtin) — it broke on the macOS runner's bash 3.2 and dropped the macOSSHA256SUMSfor v0.3.1/v0.3.2. Now portable to bash 3.2.
[0.3.2] — 2026-06-03
Fixed
- "Loopback origin required" all over the Docker UI (and a blank version).
The
/system/*and/api/settings/*routes are restricted to a loopback origin, but Docker's NAT makes every request look non-loopback, so the gate 403'd the operator out of the admin UI — including/system/info(blanking the version) and HF-token entry. The Docker image now runs withOMNIVOICE_SERVER_MODE=1, which relaxes the gate for the headless deployment; exposure is governed by the-pport mapping plus the optional share PIN. Desktop builds are unaffected — their loopback boundary (and the denial of admin routes to LAN share guests) is unchanged. (#261)
[0.3.1] — 2026-06-03
First tagged build of the 0.3 line off main — it ships the accumulated
[0.3.0] work below plus the fixes here. (The [0.3.0] milestone heading is
kept for the qualitative "actually useful" release.)
Fixed
- Voice-clone / export download crashed in the Docker & browser build with
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'invoke'). The export button called the Tauri save dialog unconditionally; outside the desktop shell it now falls back to a standard browser download of the file served at/audio/<path>. (#256) - Docker container showed no version (a dash) in Settings → About, and the
desktop-only update-channel toggle appeared in the web build. The running
version is now read from the backend (
/system/infoapp_version,/healthversion); the updater UI is hidden outside Tauri. Also corrected the version-check command in the Docker docs (omnivoice, notomnivoice-studio). (#249) - Transcription failures were masked by a generic "Transcribe stream dropped" message. The transcribe SSE stream now surfaces the real, sanitized cause (with an actionable hint) instead of silently dropping when model load or VRAM offload fails. (#255)
[0.3.0] — Unreleased
Added
- Frameless dictation widget. Global dictation upgraded from an in-app FAB to a true OS-level floating widget that hovers over any application. Transparent, decorations-free, always-on-top secondary Tauri window activated by
⌘+⇧+Space. Auto-hides 2.5 s after a successful paste. - Standalone
CaptureWidgetcomponent. RefactoredCaptureButtonintoCaptureWidget, running on an isolated route (/?window=widget). - Social preview image. Added
social-preview.pngfor GitHub SEO.
Changed
- README overhaul. Compact 3-column feature grid, reorganized Quickstart (one-command install, Docker, Desktop App tips), updated comparison table, roadmap, and footer CTA.
- Docker Compose profiles are mutually exclusive. CPU service now requires
--profile cpu(was the implicit default). Prevents port 3900 conflict when running--profile gpu. Usage:docker compose --profile cpu upordocker compose --profile gpu up.
Fixed
- Docker GPU detection false negative. Preflight reported "No compatible GPU detected" inside Docker containers because
nvidia-smiisn't present in the PyTorch base image. The GPU probe now falls back totorch.cuda.is_available()andtorch.cuda.get_device_name(), correctly showing CUDA as available in containerized deployments.
[0.2.6] — Unreleased
License
- Relicensed Studio under Functional Source License (FSL-1.1-ALv2). Free for personal, educational, internal-team, and non-commercial use. Each release converts automatically to Apache License, Version 2.0 on the second anniversary of its publication.
- The bundled
omnivoice/Python TTS model package remains separately licensed under Apache 2.0 by its upstream authors — not relicensed here. - In-app Commercial License page no longer publishes pricing tiers. Pricing is being finalized; the page now invites quote requests and links the FSL terms.
Added
- Single-instance enforcement. Launching a second copy now focuses the existing window instead of starting a second backend that races for port 3900. Powered by
tauri-plugin-single-instance. - Close-to-tray. Clicking the window X (or
Cmd+Won macOS) now hides the window and keeps the backend + tray menu alive. The tray "Quit" item is the only path that fully exits and shuts down the Python backend (cleanup moved toRunEvent::ExitRequested). - Recording-state tray icon. Tray icon flips to a red-dot variant while a dictation recording is active and reverts when it stops or errors out.
- Customizable global dictation hotkey. New Settings → Capture tab. Record any modifier-plus-key combo, save it, and it's persisted in
config.jsonand re-registered on every launch. Failed registrations (combo already taken by the OS) roll back to the previously-working binding instead of leaving the user with no shortcut. - WebSocket-final dictation path. Capture now treats the streaming
finalmessage as the source of truth and skips the duplicate HTTPPOST /transcribethat used to run on every dictation. Audio is transcribed once instead of twice — typical dictation latency roughly halved. New EOF text-frame protocol (server also accepts an empty binary frame as EOF). HTTP POST kept as fallback for WS error / timeout / WS-never-opened. - Chunk queueing during WS handshake. The first 250 ms of audio is no longer dropped from the server's
finaltranscript.MediaRecorderchunks captured while the WebSocket is still inCONNECTINGstate are queued and drained inws.onopen.
Changed
- Docker default bind is loopback.
docker-compose.ymlnow publishes127.0.0.1:3900:3900instead of3900:3900— the API is no longer reachable from the LAN out of the box. To expose it deliberately, change the mapping to0.0.0.0:3900:3900. README documents the trade-off and recommends a reverse proxy with auth (Caddybasic_auth, nginx + htpasswd, Tailscale) for any non-loopback exposure. - Donate page trimmed. Removed Patreon and the Bitcoin / Ethereum / Solana cryptocurrency cards. Removed the bundled
qrcode.reactdependency. The "Commercial License" CTA moves from the bottom of the page to the top-right of the page header. - WS dictation hostname now derived from the configured
API_BASEinstead of a hardcodedlocalhost:3900, so deployments behind reverse proxies route correctly. - HTTP POST fallback timeout scales with recording length (
max(15s, recordedMs + 10s)) so long-form dictations don't trip the fallback and run the model twice.
Fixed
- Backend was killed on every window close even if the user only intended to dismiss the window. Backend shutdown now fires only on real-quit (
RunEvent::ExitRequested), not on the close-to-hide path. - Hotkey rollback.
set_dictation_shortcutpreviously left the user with no global shortcut ifregister(new)failed afterunregister(old)succeeded. The previous binding is now restored on failure. - WebSocket dictation pipeline lost the first audio chunk.
MediaRecorderwas started before the WebSocket finished its handshake, so the first 250 ms chunk — which carries the WebM EBML header — was dropped from the WS stream. Every subsequent server-side ffmpeg conversion then failed withexit status 183("Invalid data found when processing input"), partials never appeared, and the HTTP fallback only fired after the full timeout. The WebSocket is now constructed before the recorder, every chunk is queued throughwsPendingRefuntilws.onopendrains it, and a servererrormessage (or unexpectedoncloseafter the recorder has stopped) fires the HTTP fallback immediately instead of waiting out the timeout. - Microphone access prompt on macOS. Added an
Info.plistwithNSMicrophoneUsageDescription(andNSCameraUsageDescriptionfor forward-compat) so getUserMedia no longer fails silently on macOS 10.14+ TCC. Tauri's bundler auto-merges the file at bundle time. Mic-denial toasts now also include platform-specific recovery hints (Settings paths for macOS/Windows, audio-group check for Linux).
Infrastructure
- uv bundled per-platform. Release installers now ship the
uvbinary as a Tauri sidecar (bundle.externalBin). First launch no longer requires network access for the uv-download step — bootstrap uses the bundled binary directly. Adds ~12-15 MB per platform installer; falls back to PATH lookup, then standalone download, when the bundled file isn't present (dev builds, future targets). Pinned atUV_VERSION = "0.11.7"; bump the constant in lib.rs and the matching env var in release.yml together to refresh. - ffmpeg fetch removed from Tauri bootstrap. The redundant download from
eugeneware/ffmpeg-static(saved toapp_data/bin/) was never used by the backend, which already resolves ffmpeg viaimageio_ffmpeg.get_ffmpeg_exe()from the pip wheel pulled byuv sync. Net effect: one fewer first-run network round-trip, one fewer splash-screen stage, and the splash no longer shows the misleading "Downloading ffmpeg…" line. - CI cross-platform check. PRs now run
cargo checkagainst the Tauri shell on macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows, and Linux in parallel — surfaces platform-specific Rust regressions before tag push without paying the full ~15 min/platform tauri-bundle cost (full bundling stays inrelease.ymlon tag push). - Release notes from CHANGELOG.
release.ymlnow extracts the matching## [X.Y.Z]section fromCHANGELOG.mdand uses it as the GitHub Release body, replacing the prior placeholder "Auto-generated release. See commit log for changes." - Tests:
tests/test_capture_ws.py(3 cases) covers the EOF text-frame, empty-binary-frame, and legacy disconnect-finalize paths for/ws/transcribe.
Internal
- New Tauri commands:
quit_app,set_tray_recording,get_dictation_shortcut,set_dictation_shortcut. - New Tauri state:
AppFlags { quitting },TrayHandle { tray },DictationShortcutState { current }. - New deps:
tauri-plugin-single-instance2.x,tauri/image-pngfeature flag (enablesImage::from_bytesfor in-memory tray-icon swap).
