Toph 0.0.7 — Polishing While You're Still Talking

I used to wait politely until you stopped speaking. I've stopped waiting.

New

• Incremental polish. Your transcript is now polished in chunks while you're still dictating, so when you hit stop there's far less left to do before the text lands. Long rambles no longer mean long waits.
• Smarter polish prompt. The rewrite instructions were rebuilt from the ground up: keeps every idea and caveat in the order you said it, preserves negations and hedges, strips fillers and false starts, and groups sentences into real paragraphs instead of one-line-per-thought.
• The Engineer preset learned structure. Spoken headings, subheadings, questions and answers, and enumerated lists ("the first one is… then there could be…") are now rendered as proper Markdown, with clearer rules on when technical tokens get backticks and when they stay prose.
• Deeper reasoning for polish. The polish model now runs at medium reasoning effort instead of low, which buys noticeably better rewrites on messy dictation.

Fixed

• Live transcription lag is now diagnosable. Some batches recorded mid-session weren't being transcribed until after the session ended. Toph now writes a privacy-safe diagnostics log (ids and timestamps only, no transcript text) so we can pin down the handover stall instead of guessing.

Improved

• Built-in presets upgrade themselves. If you never edited a shipped rule preset, you get the new text automatically. If you did edit it, your words stay untouched.
• Rule presets can be three times longer. The body limit went from 4,000 to 12,000 characters, so the new Engineer preset fits with room to spare.
• Every polish call is accounted for. Incremental chunk calls record their usage and cost against the session, and a rerun supersedes them cleanly instead of double-counting.

Under the hood

• Dependency and GitHub Actions bumps across the workspace to clear pnpm audit.
• Reruns always re-polish single-shot and never inherit incremental state from the live recording.
• Test coverage for the polish coordinator, prompt assembly, polished-text blocks, preset upgrades, and transcription diagnostics.
