akou 0.4.0

This build is not signed by Apple. The first time you open akou, macOS refuses it. On macOS 14, Control-click akou in Applications, choose Open, then Open again. On macOS 15 and later, open akou once, then go to System Settings, Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway. After an update macOS may ask for the microphone and system audio again. The speech models are downloaded on first run. See docs/install.md.

What's Changed

• chore: pin the compose example to akou 0.3.0 and record the 0.3.0 image tags on the GPU bead by @GeiserX in #72
• docs(ux): spec dictation so akou types what you say into any app and learns from your fixes by @GeiserX in #70
• chore(beads): track the dictation spec as an epic with one bead per item, so the lanes can start by @GeiserX in #73
• fix(server): stop a reused Idempotency-Key from returning a job made with other options by @GeiserX in #74
• chore(beads): record that #74 fixed the idempotency, s? label and install.md server bugs by @GeiserX in #77
• fix(asr): one llama.cpp build table, so a Mac on cpu runs best and /v1/server stops claiming a GPU on the CPU by @GeiserX in #76
• fix(server): speaker labels no longer add "Yeah." at turn edges by @GeiserX in #75
• chore(beads): record that #76 fixed the llama.cpp build table review, and track its four small follow-ups by @GeiserX in #78
• chore(beads): close the diarization filler and similar-voices beads fixed and measured in #75 by @GeiserX in #79
• fix(server): a retry with keywords reordered or the language in another case keeps its job by @GeiserX in #82
• feat(dictation): answer a dictation at once on a busy server, and send it there without the audio crossing the internet in the clear by @GeiserX in #80
• feat(capture): akou-capture dictate runs a whole dictation on fakes, so no test ever presses a real key by @GeiserX in #83
• feat(models): see how each model behaves, download or delete it from the UI, and drop unused ones in the app too by @GeiserX in #81
• chore(beads): close the Models page bead shipped in #81 and track its three review follow-ups by @GeiserX in #86
• feat(ui): give dictation a pill, a draft box and a settings page before the session lands by @GeiserX in #84
• feat(dictation): a remote that is down no longer loses the dictation, and dictated text can go through your provider first by @GeiserX in #87
• feat(dictation): decode a dictation on the loaded model and read the helper's own lines, so akou dictate clip.wav prints a word by @GeiserX in #85
• feat(capture): dictation pastes only where it began, never into a password field, and gives the clipboard back after the app reads it by @GeiserX in #88
• feat(dictation): send the audio to the remote while the key is held, so a 20 s dictation answers as fast as a 3 s one by @GeiserX in #90

• feat(capture): the key tap never waits on an insert, and a fix typed in the app comes back to learn from by @GeiserX in #93
• fix(dictation): a remote dictation that fails at the press no longer holds the rest of the hold in memory by @GeiserX in #92
• feat(dictation): set dictation up from its settings, and a new dictation key works at once or is refused where you set it by @GeiserX in #94
• feat(ui): a per-app rules editor, and the grant setup the dictation switch runs once akou reports its grants by @GeiserX in #96
• feat(capture): a real Mac hears the dictation key, and the grant it needs is measured by @GeiserX in #97
• feat(ui): choose the dictation microphone from a list, and hear dictation when the pill is off by @GeiserX in #99

• feat(capture): dictation on a Mac now pastes and types into the app instead of always failing by @GeiserX in #100
• feat(dictation): start a dictation from the tray or a script, and delete dictations for good by @GeiserX in #102
• feat(capture): dictate on the built-in mic instead of a Bluetooth headset, and keep Fn from opening the emoji picker by @GeiserX in #103
• feat(dictation): dictate with Qwen where a GPU runs it, and fall back to Parakeet instead of hanging by @GeiserX in #105

• chore(beads): keep the owner's deployment detail out of the public tracker by @GeiserX in #115
• feat(ui): save dictation words and replacements for real, so "example dot com" types example.com by @GeiserX in #117
• feat(capture): a Linux paste waits for the target's read, and the first syllable is proven to reach the text by @GeiserX in #114
• feat(dictation): dictation.format now changes what gets typed, and a remote dictation uploads during the hold instead of at release by @GeiserX in #113
• test(ui): prove the draft box and its learn chip work end to end, so page and main side cannot drift apart by @GeiserX in #118
• feat(dictation): let Enter send, Shift+Enter draft and Escape cancel while a dictation runs by @GeiserX in #116
• feat(ui): name a per-app rule's app by dictating into it, instead of typing its bundle id by @GeiserX in #120

• fix(dictation): keep dictated words out of the log when formatting fails, and prove the dictation lane on the shipped server by @GeiserX in #124
