The create flow wrote raw audio (and a transcoded .wav for non-wav
sources) to data/captures before the DB row was committed, so any
failure between the write and the commit — a webm that decoded to a
0-length array, a whisper model that errored mid-transcribe, a SQLite
contention on the commit — left the audio on disk with nothing pointing
at it. Over enough flaky uploads the directory grows without bound.
Now every path written before the commit is tracked in a list, and the
whole stretch from the first write to db.commit() runs inside a
try/except that unlinks each tracked file on raise and re-raises. The
transcode branch removes the raw file from the cleanup list only when
the unlink actually succeeds, so an OSError on the raw-path delete
still hands cleanup the original blob to retry.
Ships the Capture release end to end. Global-hotkey dictation with
synthetic paste into the focused app on macOS and Windows, an on-screen
pill across recording / transcribing / refining, customizable push-to-
talk and toggle chords, and an accessibility-permission prompt scoped to
Settings → Captures with inline re-check feedback.
Voice profiles gain optional personalities that power compose / rewrite /
respond actions via a local Qwen3 LLM — shared with refinement, so there
is one local LLM in the app, not two.
Refinement hardened with deterministic Whisper-loop collapse before the
LLM sees the transcript, per-capture flag snapshots for re-runs, and a
ten-transcript evaluation harness across every bundled refinement size.
Version bump 0.4.5 → 0.5.0.
