- /token: dedicated page with on-chain transparency (liquidity lock +
buyback/burns), holder utility, official-token clarity, and FAQ. The
landing now shows a teaser linking to it; navbar + footer repointed
from pump.fun to /token.
- /blog: file-based markdown blog (gray-matter + marked) with per-post
Open Graph images; first post "Why Voicebox has a token".
- /cloud: end-to-end encrypted backup & sync product page.
- /pricing: Local / Cloud / Studio tiers with a monthly/annual toggle;
$VOICEBOX holders get Cloud free.
- Add Testimonials section to the landing.
- Navbar: remove API/Download, add Pricing/Blog, fix center-nav spacing.
- docker-compose: host port 17493->17600 for local dev coexistence.
* feat(i18n): add i18next foundation with English + zh-CN locales
Installs i18next + react-i18next + language detector and wires up a
language selector in the General settings page. Extracts strings from
the highest-visibility surfaces: all settings tabs, model management,
sidebar nav, main editor, and the floating generate box. Remaining
strings (profile forms, history, stories/effects/voices/audio tabs)
can land in follow-up PRs.
Closes#411.

* fix(i18n): ensure language switch actually re-renders the tree
- `nonExplicitSupportedLngs: true` was normalizing `zh-CN` → `zh` in
some code paths; since we have explicit `zh-CN` resources, swap it
for `load: 'currentOnly'` which keeps the code as-is.
- `react: { useSuspense: false }` — react-i18next v17 defaults Suspense
on, which can silently suspend components mid-switch and look like
"nothing happens" to the user.
- Use `i18n.language` (the raw current code) instead of
`resolvedLanguage` in the selector so the dropdown always mirrors
what we just set.

* feat(i18n): localize ProfileCard, HistoryTable, and relative dates
- ProfileCard: "No description", "designed" badge, aria-labels, and
delete dialog.
- HistoryTable: delete / clear-failed / import / effects dialogs.
- formatDate: switch date-fns `formatDistance` locale based on
`i18n.language` so "5 minutes ago" becomes "5 分钟前" under zh-CN.
HistoryTable now subscribes via useTranslation so the table
re-renders when language flips.

* feat(i18n): localize Stories tab (list, content, dialogs, toasts)
Covers the title + "New Story" button, empty states, story row
metadata (item count, updated time), the create/edit/delete dialogs,
and all toast notifications. Also handles StoryContent: "Select a
story" placeholder, search popover, "Export Audio" button, and the
"Generating N audios" pending indicator.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* feat(i18n): localize history item and story item dropdown menus
Covers the "..." action menu on both the History table (Play, Export
Audio, Export Package, Apply Effects, Regenerate, Delete) and on
individual story chat items (Play from here, Remove from Story).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* feat(i18n): localize Effects tab (list, detail, dialogs, toasts)
Covers EffectsList (title, "New Preset", section headers, preset
cards) and EffectsDetail (header buttons for Save / Save as Custom /
Delete, name/description fields, preview section, Save as Custom
dialog, all toasts).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* feat(i18n): localize EffectsChainEditor and built-in preset names
- Effect type labels (Chorus/Flanger, Reverb, Delay, Compressor, Gain,
High-Pass, Low-Pass, Pitch Shift) and every param label (LFO speed,
Modulation depth, Threshold, Ratio, etc.) go through
`effects.types.<type>.{label,params.<param>}` with the backend string
as defaultValue fallback.
- Chain-level controls: "Load preset…", "Add effect…", "Clear",
Power/Remove button titles.
- Built-in preset names + descriptions (Robotic, Radio, Echo Chamber,
Deep Voice) are translated client-side; user-created presets keep
their original names.
Backend keeps returning English — frontend intercepts and translates
via key lookup, defaulting to the backend string so unknown
effects/params don't break.

* feat(i18n): localize Create/Edit Voice modal and audio sample panels
ProfileForm now routes its title, description, voice-source toggle
(Clone from audio / Built-in voice), field labels (Name, Description,
Language, Engine, Voice, Reference Text, Default Engine, Default
Effects), sample tabs (Upload / Record / System Audio), action
buttons, and every toast + Zod validation message through i18n.
Also covers the three AudioSample panels (Upload/Record/System) — the
choose-file / start-recording / start-capture call-to-actions, the
"N remaining" countdown, "Recording complete" / "Capture complete"
states, and the Play / Transcribe / Remove / Record Again buttons.
SampleList too — the "No samples yet" empty state, per-sample edit
mode, mini-player aria labels, Delete Sample dialog, and toasts.

* feat(i18n): localize Audio Channels tab (list, dialogs, device picker)
Covers the "Audio Channels" title and "New Channel" button, the empty
state, per-channel section labels (Output Devices / Assigned Voices),
the Available Devices right pane with its three contextual hints, the
"No voices assigned" fallback, and both Create/Edit dialogs (titles,
descriptions, field labels, Select placeholders, and the "(default)"
badge).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* feat(i18n): localize Voices tab (table header, search, inspector)
VoicesTab now translates the "Voices" title, search placeholder,
"New Voice" button, all six table column headers (Name, Language,
Generations, Samples, Effects, Channels), the avatar alt text, and
the per-row channel MultiSelect (placeholder + "(Default)" suffix).
VoiceInspector routes its form labels through the existing
`profileForm.fields.*` keys, has its own "Default Effects" hint and
avatar/save toasts, and reuses the ProfileForm Zod validation.

* feat(i18n): add Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) locale
Adds a zh-TW translation with Taiwan vocabulary conventions
(e.g. 預設 / 儲存 / 載入 / 匯入 / 匯出 / 設定 / 檔案 / 伺服器 / 裝置 / 網路).
Registers it alongside en and zh-CN; the language dropdown picks it up
automatically from SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES.

* feat(i18n): add Japanese (ja) locale
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* fix(i18n): localize relative dates for ja and zh-TW
formatDate only mapped zh-CN, so history timestamps stayed in English for
ja and zh-TW users even after the rest of the UI translated. Extend the
switch to ja and zhTW from date-fns/locale.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <[email protected]>
* fix(i18n): address PR review feedback
Bugs:
- GeneralPage: network access toast used the keep-server-running title key
(wrong semantic scope). Add networkAccess.updatedTitle and use it.
- GeneralPage: fallback "Unknown" version was stored as a translated string
in state, so it stayed stale across language switches. Store null, resolve
the label at render time.
- GeneralPage: memoize the zod resolver on t and retrigger validation when
the locale changes so existing error messages retranslate.
- GpuPage: adding t to the CUDA progress EventSource effect deps caused the
SSE connection to be torn down and reopened on every language change,
potentially dropping in-flight download events. Capture t in a ref.
- HistoryTable: Effects dialog still rendered English "Source" / "Select
source version" / "Cancel" / "Apply" / "Applying..." — localize them.
- Locales: zh-CN / zh-TW / ja devSuffix was missing the leading space before
"(开发版)"/"(開發版)"/"(開発版)", so dev builds rendered "v0.4.2(开发版)"
instead of "v0.4.2 (开发版)".
Nits:
- ModelManagement: rename .find((t) => ...) callback param to avoid
shadowing useTranslation().t.
- GenerationPage: rename chunkLimit.value interpolation key from count →
chars so i18next doesn't silently activate pluralization if a translator
later adds _one/_other forms.
- LanguageSelect: narrow onValueChange handler param to LanguageCode.
Key count now 559 across en/zh-CN/zh-TW/ja (added 4 effectsDialog keys
plus networkAccess.updatedTitle).

* fix(landing): use qwen_custom_voice in API example (instruct is CustomVoice-only)
The curl snippet showed engine: "qwen" alongside an instruct field, but base
Qwen3-TTS has no instruct path — that's a Qwen CustomVoice feature.

* feat(landing): add polished /download page — no more dumping users on GitHub
Users were clicking download, landing on the GitHub releases page, and filing
confused comments along the lines of "I ended up on some blog site called
GitHub." We now route every download CTA through a dedicated /download page
that auto-triggers the platform-specific download and gives users a polished
post-click experience with donate + docs + AI help prompts.
- New /download page:
- Big app logo + "Your download has started" messaging.
- Auto-detects platform from ?platform=X or navigator.userAgent.
- Programmatically clicks a hidden anchor to trigger the file download
without leaving the page.
- Platform-specific buttons as a visible fallback for "download not
working" / manual-pick.
- Personal donate spiel + Buy Me a Coffee button.
- Resources grid: docs, DeepWiki ("got questions? ask AI"), GitHub.
- Landing page download section cards now link to /download?platform=X
instead of the asset URL directly.
- /download/[platform] (used by README/docs links) now redirects to the
/download page rather than straight to the asset or to GitHub on error.
- Drops unused downloadLinks state from the landing page.

* fix(landing): use official platform brand icons via simple-icons
The hand-rolled Linux SVG path wasn't actually Tux — it was a symmetric
placeholder shape. Apple/Windows were close but not canonical either.
- Apple + Linux: pulled from @icons-pack/react-simple-icons (SiApple, SiLinux).
- Windows: simple-icons drops the Microsoft mark over trademark policy, so
the Windows 11 flag is inlined from Microsoft's public brand guidance.

* fix(landing): route Download CTAs to /download page, not the section anchor
Hero CTA, navbar link, and footer link were all scrolling to #download
(the section at the bottom of the page) instead of going to the new
/download page that triggers the actual download.

* chore(landing): run dev server on Node instead of Bun runtime
Bun runtime + Next 16 Turbopack dev server intermittently trips a
JavaScriptCore allocator panic ('pas panic: deallocation did fail ...
Alloc bit not set') after a few requests. Dropping --bun keeps Bun as
the package manager but runs next dev on Node, which is stable.
Build + start keep --bun since one-shot invocations don't exhibit the
allocator drift.

* fix(landing): route Linux users to /linux-install instead of attempting download
No prebuilt Linux binary exists yet (see /linux-install for build-from-source
instructions). The /download page previously treated Linux like the other
platforms — auto-triggering a non-existent AppImage and offering a dead
manual button.
- /download page: if platform resolves to 'linux' via ?platform or UA detect,
window.location.replace('/linux-install') — never try to auto-download.
- Manual Linux card: label changed to "Build from source" and links to
/linux-install (no download attribute, no asset URL).
- /download/linux pretty URL: 307s straight to /linux-install.

* docs: consolidate troubleshooting into the MDX docs site + status updates
- Delete docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md; the canonical troubleshooting guide now
lives under docs/content/docs/overview/troubleshooting.mdx so it's served
from docs.voicebox.sh alongside the rest of the docs.
- CONTRIBUTING.md + README.md: repoint "Troubleshooting" references to the
new MDX path. README gets a top-level callout so users hit the guide
before filing an issue.
- PROJECT_STATUS.md: refresh issue/PR counts, document the flash-attn
warning (cosmetic on all platforms; CUDA-only, fallback is PyTorch SDPA
which is near-FA2 on Ampere+) with per-platform context + community
Windows wheels + SageAttention/xformers alternatives, add WebAudio
audio-session bug note (tracked separately in PR #486), and expand the
Qwen 0.6B→1.7B MLX fallback explanation for triage.

* fix(landing): address PR #487 review feedback
- Preserve canonical camelCase platform aliases (macArm, macIntel) in the
/download/[platform] redirect so those URLs don't lose their platform param.
- Add accessible title + role="img" to the inline Windows SVG so it passes
Biome's a11y rule and announces to screen readers.
- On /api/releases fetch failure, show an explicit error state with a single
intentional link to GitHub releases — no more silent GitHub fallback or
disabled-button UX lie. Keeps normies off GitHub unless they opt in.

New Spacedrive-inspired landing page with dark warm color system, glassmorphic navbar, feature cards with animated illustrations, and an interactive ControlUI mockup that cycles through voice generations with real audio playback via WaveSurfer.
The ControlUI demo script is fully data-driven - profiles, generation text, audio samples, and effects are all configurable from a single DEMO_SCRIPT array.
Includes 6 real voice samples (Jarvis, Morgan Freeman, Sam Altman, Samuel L. Jackson, Linus Tech Tips, Fireship) converted to webm opus.
Generations now return immediately with a 'generating' status and appear
in history right away. TTS runs in a serial background queue to avoid
GPU contention. Users can kick off multiple generations without blocking.
- Async POST /generate creates DB record immediately, queues TTS work
- Serial generation queue prevents concurrent GPU access (Metal/CUDA/CPU)
- SSE endpoint GET /generate/{id}/status for real-time completion tracking
- Retry endpoint POST /generate/{id}/retry for failed generations
- Store engine and model_size on generation records for retry support
- History cards show animated loader (react-loaders) for generating/playing
- Failed generations show retry button instead of actions menu
- Model downloads happen inline in the queue instead of rejecting with 202
- Stale 'generating' records marked as failed on server startup
