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.

* feat(ci): re-enable Linux release builds (CPU, deb+rpm)
Linux shipped briefly in March 2026 (b580189..103e98b) then was removed
with the message "github runners suck." The post-mortem: standard
ubuntu-22.04 hit disk-pressure during pip+PyInstaller, and a namespace
custom-runner attempt proved flaky. Nothing in the app itself was the
problem — the NVIDIA-package exclusions in build_binary.py (~3 GB
shaved from CPU builds), the CPU-only torch install order, the
PulseAudio/PipeWire audio capture code, and the Tauri deb/rpm bundle
targets all still work.
This restores ubuntu-22.04 to the release matrix as a CPU-only Linux
build with a disk-space cleanup step (jlumbroso/free-disk-space) to
address the root cause of the March failures. Ships .deb + .rpm only
— AppImage was explicitly dropped in e18757b due to glibc portability
issues, keeping that decision.
CUDA-for-Linux is intentionally deferred to a follow-up PR: the
GpuAcceleration.tsx frontend hard-codes CUDA download as Tauri-only
without a Linux branch, and AMD users already get ROCm acceleration
for free on a stock CPU-torch install (backend/app.py:148-160). The
NVIDIA-on-Linux case is the only remaining gap and is non-blocking
for a v1 Linux ship.

* chore(release): bump version 0.4.1 → 0.4.2
tauri-action uses tauri.conf.json's version to name the release, so
pushing v0.4.2 as a tag alone was insufficient — the workflow was still
trying to publish to v0.4.1 (immutable) and failing. Bumps all workspace
package.json files, Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, and tauri.conf.json.

* ci(release): add Linux bundle-step watchdog + verbose cargo logging
The first v0.4.2 attempt hung inside tauri-action at the bundling stage
on ubuntu-22.04 for ~28 min with no output. Same failure mode that drove
the March 2026 removal (commit 103e98b). Without visibility we're
guessing — probable causes include linuxdeploy/AppImage download stalls
(despite --bundles deb,rpm), cargo link on a cold cache, or disk
pressure during the final link step.
- timeout-minutes: 30 on tauri-action for Ubuntu (45 min elsewhere) —
fail fast with logs instead of waiting out the 6hr job timeout.
- --verbose added to the Linux build args so cargo streams progress.
- CARGO_TERM_VERBOSE + RUST_BACKTRACE=1 exported on tauri-action.
- New 'Disk / environment snapshot' step dumps df/free/tool versions
right before the tauri step so we can correlate with any later
OOM/ENOSPC failure.

* ci(release): disable Tauri updater artifacts on Linux (stops linuxdeploy hang)
Round-2 diagnosis from the v0.4.2 attempt: cargo finished in 3m 55s,
.deb and .rpm were bundled within 22s, then the step hung silently for
25 min until our 30-min watchdog killed it — no further log lines.
tauri.conf.json has `createUpdaterArtifacts: "v1Compatible"`. On Linux
the v1-compatible updater path wants a .AppImage.tar.gz, which means
downloading linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage from GitHub at build time.
That download is the silent blocker — same signature as the March 2026
"github runners suck" removal (commit 103e98b).
Fix: pass `--config {"bundle":{"createUpdaterArtifacts":false}}` on the
Linux build only. Mac/Windows continue to produce signed updater
artifacts as before. Linux users update via apt/dnf; Tauri in-app
auto-update for Linux can come later (and would require shipping
AppImage alongside deb/rpm).

* ci(release): pin free-disk-space action + stop removing LLVM
Review feedback on the Linux release workflow:
1. `jlumbroso/free-disk-space@main` was an unpinned ref in a job that
runs with `contents: write` and handles signing secrets. Pin to the
v1.3.1 commit SHA so a force-push or repo compromise can't inject
arbitrary code into our release flow.
2. `large-packages: true` runs `apt-get remove '^llvm-.*'`, wiping LLVM
just before the next step installs `llvm-dev`. That wastes CI time
and risks cascade-removal of reverse deps that won't be pulled back
in by `llvm-dev` alone. The remaining toggles (android, dotnet,
haskell, swap-storage) already clear ~20 GB, which is enough
headroom for the Python + torch + PyInstaller build.
