- All 'voicebox'/'Voicebox'/'VOICEBOX' strings replaced with 'talkbox'/'TalkBox'/'TALKBOX'
- Port changed from 17493 to 17494 (avoids conflict with upstream VoiceBox)
- MCP tool namespace: voicebox.* -> talkbox.*
- App bundle ID: sh.voicebox.app -> com.talkbox.app
- Binary names: voicebox-server -> talkbox-server, voicebox-mcp -> talkbox-mcp
- Docker user/group: voicebox -> talkbox
- Database: voicebox.db -> talkbox.db
- Env vars: VOICEBOX_* -> TALKBOX_*
- Asset files renamed: voicebox-logo.* -> talkbox-logo.*, etc.
- External binaries in tauri.conf.json updated to talkbox-server/talkbox-mcp

**Funding model — `$VOICEBOX` token (#806):** the two-month gap was a solo-dev decision about long-term sustainability, not neglect or a compromise. `$VOICEBOX` (Solana) is the **official, dev-controlled** token and the chosen revenue path — donations/sponsors didn't cover full-time work. The app stays 100% free, open-source, local-first, no subscriptions. Dev supply is being bought back and burned (done twice), liquidity locked. It has funded ~2–3 months of full-time work, so the cadence resumes this week. The #806 thread was a community concern, addressed transparently and resolved amicably; keep an eye out for actual impersonator/community tokens, which are a separate thing.

### What's Shipped (v0.5.0 — the Capture release)
Shipped 2026-04-25 (PR #544). Voicebox went from a voice-cloning studio to a full voice studio — dictation in, agent speech out, a local LLM in the middle.

- **Dictation** — global hotkey capture (push-to-talk + toggle chords), on-screen pill with live state, auto-paste into the focused field with clipboard save/restore, chord-picker UI. Scoped Accessibility permission (transcripts still land if paste is denied).
- **MCP server** at `http://127.0.0.1:17493/mcp` — `voicebox.speak` / `.transcribe` / `.list_captures` / `.list_profiles`. Streamable HTTP primary transport, stdio sidecar shim, per-client voice binding via `X-Voicebox-Client-Id`. Speaking pill always shows agent-initiated output.

- **Personality** — voice profiles carry an optional ≤2000-char persona. Compose (shuffle an in-character line) and Speak-in-character (rewrite input before TTS), both on a local Qwen3 LLM that doubles as the refinement model.
- **Refinement** — on-device Qwen3 strips fillers, fixes punctuation, optional self-correction rewrites; Whisper hallucination-loop stripping at a 6-token threshold; per-capture flag snapshots; model picker (0.6B / 1.7B / 4B).
- **`POST /speak` REST wrapper** and **i18next foundation** (English + zh-CN) also landed.

- **CPU unsupported in the Python package** — issue #256 shows `voxcpm --device cpu` rejected with `unrecognized arguments`. The only CPU path is the third-party **VoxCPM.cpp** GGML engine, which is a separate ecosystem project, not `pip install voxcpm`.
- **macOS source install fails** — issue #233 open with no resolution.
- Would require CUDA-only gating in UI (new `requires_cuda` flag on `ModelConfig`, lock icon + "Requires NVIDIA GPU" in `ModelManagement.tsx` / `EngineModelSelector.tsx`) plus a hard error at `load_model()` as safety net. Doable but adds first-class platform gating that doesn't exist for any other engine today.
- Voicebox's user base skews Apple Silicon (MLX is a primary backend). Shipping a CUDA-only model sets a precedent worth a separate scoping discussion (see issues #419 engine sprawl, #420 platform tiers, PR #465).
