Arc Flow v0.2.4

Arc Flow v0.2.4

Safer sessions. Updates you can trust.

Dictation stays with the right session

• Rapid hotkey presses no longer mix Normal, Command, or Notes sessions.
• Stopping during microphone startup now cancels cleanly.
• Switching windows while speaking will not send an older result to the new target.
• Late events from a finished session are ignored instead of changing the current island state.

More dependable Command Mode

• Arc Flow now confirms that selected text was actually copied before processing it.
• An empty selection can no longer reuse older clipboard text by mistake.
• Slow applications get a little more time to complete the copy.
• Your original clipboard content is restored when Arc Flow finishes.

Better clipboard protection

• Paste operations are coordinated so overlapping sessions cannot interfere with each other.
• Arc Flow retries when another app briefly holds the clipboard.
• Anything you copy during insertion is left untouched.
• If insertion fails, your transcript remains available instead of showing a false success.

A steadier dictation island

Clear state, even during fast actions

• Ctrl + Win feedback no longer replaces an active recording, processing state, error, or copy popup.
• Old timers and events cannot hide or overwrite a newer session.
• Empty AI cleanup responses now fall back to your original transcript, so your words are never lost.

A more reliable updater

Mandatory updates are harder to miss

• Arc Flow now respects the minimum supported version as well as the mandatory-update flag.
• A required update brings the main window forward, even when Arc Flow is running from the tray.
• Update checks retry automatically after temporary connection problems.
• A visible status lets you retry when Arc Flow cannot reach the update service.

Easier support and diagnostics

• Your exact build number now appears at the top of Help.
• Settings > Debug shows the same build number and includes it in copied diagnostics.
• Every new app log starts with the installed build version, making issue reports easier to identify.
• Logs rotate automatically when the app updates or the file grows too large.

Small fixes, calmer everyday use

• Home history refreshes after a transcript is copied from the no-target popup.
• Update checks are shared across the app to avoid duplicate background requests.
• Session and clipboard safeguards run only when needed, keeping Arc Flow light while idle.
