v0.3.1

[0.3.1] - 2026-08-10

Fixed

• A neural swipe that produced no terminal candidate now runs the deterministic decoder instead
  of falling through to the gesture's first key, so the optional model can no longer make basic
  glide typing less reliable.
• Neural beam search now follows the packaged model's Viterbi state and repeated-letter contract;
  words such as letter no longer require an artificial blank or finger loop between identical
  letters.
• Neural inference must decode the publisher's known trace during keyboard startup or it is
  disabled before the first user gesture; loading model files alone is no longer considered ready.
• The deterministic decoder becomes available before native model loading begins, so first-use
  swipes no longer behave like key slide-off while model files are copied and initialized.
• A deliberate full-length swipe with no candidate now commits nothing instead of inserting the
  first key under the finger; short press-wanders still resolve to the intended tap.
• A one-letter neural result can no longer suppress deterministic recovery for a real gesture;
  genuine one-letter input remains a tap rather than a glide.

Changed

• The default borderless keyboard no longer draws a separate tile behind every letter, while
  action keys retain their stronger surfaces. Keycaps use more consistent rounding and spacing.
• The best suggestion occupies the centre cell, the idle strip stays visually quiet, the space
  bar uses a user-facing language label, and the gesture trail is continuous and smoothed.
• The suggestion strip now has an unmistakable gear control with full touch and accessibility
  targets. It opens a themed, scrollable preferences panel inside the keyboard window, and editor
  transitions always close that panel so another app cannot inherit a stale settings surface.
• Key previews stay within the keyboard width, alternate-character selection cancels cleanly when
  the finger leaves its interaction corridor, and popup surfaces use consistent rounding.
• Swipe-time drawing reuses action-icon paths, popup geometry, and preview backgrounds instead of
  allocating replacement objects during interaction.
• The emoji search tab now uses a theme-colored geometric icon instead of a device-font glyph that
  rendered nearly black on Samsung's dark keyboard; its footer icon path is reused as well.
• Starting a word after comma, sentence punctuation, colon, semicolon, or ellipsis now inserts the
  missing space without doubling an explicit space or breaking punctuation runs such as ?!.
• Long-press menus are constrained to the phone width, and the alpha layout exposes the common
  symbols shown in its key hints without requiring a trip to the symbols page.
• Settings now expose keyboard height, gesture-navigation padding, haptic strength, keypress
  volume, auto-capitalization, and double-space punctuation instead of hiding supported controls.
• Shift, backspace, microphone, search, and emoji now use one compact optical size and rounded
  stroke system; the shift arrow no longer resembles a house and emoji eyes render as solid dots.

Verification

• A Galaxy S24 Ultra on Android 16 passed neural startup health, six intended injected glides
  (computer, keyboard, letter, perfect, swipe, and hello), dont / doesnt
  autocorrection, settings navigation, symbol and emoji layers, and screenshot review. Post-lift
  commit was observed within 91 ms using coarse ADB markers.
• A follow-up S24 Ultra pass verified hello. world auto-spacing from literal key taps, an
  edge-bounded 11-choice e popup, punctuation hints with and without the number row, the new
  settings controls, and continued multi-point gesture decoding.
• Broader human-driven testing across varied speeds, angles, apps, and a recorded trace corpus is
  still required before claiming general accuracy parity or publishing another release.
