Talkie 1.1.0 Community Preview

Talkie 1.1.0 is a verified macOS community preview.

Highlights:

• fixes empty realtime, batch, and retry transcriptions being treated as success
• preserves accurate privacy-safe realtime failure categories
• fixes streamed transcription completion parsing and persistent history-store collisions
• adds minimal waveform/processing-ring pill styles and appearance controls
• keeps gpt-live-transcribe as the recommended instant model, with the correct optional gpt-realtime-whisper VAD contract

Verification:

• 393 logic tests passed
• deterministic UI: 2 passed, 0 failed, 1 documented macOS Settings automation skip
• CI and CodeQL passed
• universal arm64/x86_64 archive, deep code-seal verification, ZIP extraction, legal notices, and SHA-256 verification passed

Important: this asset is ad-hoc signed and NOT Apple-notarized. Gatekeeper rejection is expected. It is an advanced/unsupported community preview, not a supported Developer ID release. Back up your data and follow docs/install-free.md for the manual Gatekeeper installation steps.
