Two unrelated correctness bugs caught in PR review:
- The Play As "Stop" button was wired to handlePlayAs() unconditionally, so clicking it during playback kicked a fresh generation instead of halting. Now pauses the player when the click came from the main button while playbackState is 'playing'. Picking a different voice from the dropdown still kicks a new generation as before.
- ChordPicker tracked the peak set of held keys but seeded the peak from initialKeys, so a user who opened the picker with a 3-key chord saved couldn't replace it with a 2-key chord — the candidate length never beat the seed. The peak now resets on the first press of a fresh sequence (when no keys were held immediately prior), then grows monotonically within that hold.
- Hand /generate ids to the global SSE watcher so playback fires on completion. The mutation onSuccess was checking audio_path on a queued row, which is always empty — autoplay never ran.
- Bind the Play As voice selection to capture_settings.default_playback_voice_id, kept in sync with the Settings → Captures and Settings → MCP pickers. Picking from the split-button dropdown writes back to settings.
- Extract AudioBars from HistoryTable into a shared component; use it for the Play As generating state in place of Loader2.
- Stop the active-state hover from flashing white text when the button is in its lighter accent/10 fill.
- Drop the gradient avatar swatches from the Settings → Captures voice dropdown.
- Backend: when the gen worker exits without writing a terminal status (e.g. SQLite lock racing the failed-status write inside its own exception handler), the cancel endpoint now flips the row to failed instead of 409-ing. Worker also force-fails on its way out as a belt-and-suspenders.
ListPane is a compound component (Header / TitleRow / Title / Actions /
Search / Scroll) that owns the relative wrapper, faded right divider
(50px top fade), top scroll mask, and absolute-positioned header used by
every list-detail tab. Wires up CapturesTab, StoryList, and EffectsList.
EffectsTab gets -mx-8 / pr-8 to match the edge-to-edge layout used
elsewhere.
Other changes:
- MCPPage: native <select> → shadcn <Select> for default voice and
per-binding voice pickers
- Button outline variant: add hover:border-accent
- Drop hover:text-destructive from trailing delete buttons
(HistoryTable, GpuAcceleration, GpuPage, EffectsChainEditor,
EffectsDetail)
- HistoryTable empty state moved behind t('history.empty')
- StoryContent scroll padding pt-14 → pt-16
- backend health reports the captures dir
- landing CapturesMockup: "Send to" → "Export" with Download icon
- CHANGELOG: drop [Unreleased] personality section
Replace the placeholder fake-waveform + play button in CapturesTab's
audio card with a real CaptureInlinePlayer (wavesurfer.js). The player
renders the actual waveform, lets users scrub through the clip, and
shows a proper current/total timestamp pair in place of the
duration-only label.

- Collapse intent tri-state (respond/rewrite/compose) to `personality: bool` on /generate, /speak, and voicebox.speak. Drop respond entirely; keep compose as a standalone button via /profiles/{id}/compose. Remove /rewrite, /respond, and /speak profile endpoints.
- FloatingGenerateBox: Wand2 persona toggle + Dices compose button appear when the selected profile has a personality. ProfileCard badges Wand2 alongside the effects Sparkles.
- MCP bindings: default_intent column → default_personality: bool. Migration drops the legacy column.
- i18n: en / ja / zh-CN / zh-TW translation files filled out and wired through the capture, server, and profile UI.
```ts
voicebox.speak({
text: "Deploy complete.",
profile: "Morgan",
personality: true, // rewrite through the profile's personality LLM
});
```
Stops the "stuck pill" failure where pressing the chord with missing
STT/LLM models triggers a recording that has nowhere to land. The
hotkey now stays disarmed until every gate (models downloaded, Input
Monitoring + Accessibility granted) is green; the empty-state checklist
in CapturesTab surfaces each unmet gate with a one-click action and
auto-arms the chord once everything turns green.

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.
