- Around line 297-303: The call to get_active_asr_backend happens outside the
SSE preflight handling and can raise, causing an HTTP 500 instead of an
in-stream preflight error; wrap the call to get_active_asr_backend (and
subsequent access to _asr_backend.id / getattr(_model, "_asr_pipe", None)) in a
try/except that catches exceptions (Exception as e) and assigns a descriptive
string to preflight_error (including e) so gen() can emit the in-stream "error"
event instead of letting the exception bubble; keep references to _asr_backend
and the existing check for "pytorch-whisper" but ensure any failure sets
preflight_error rather than raising.
In `@backend/main.py`:
- Around line 266-277: If the ASR warmup in function/_warm (invoked via
loop.run_in_executor with _gpu_pool) raises, ensure _loading_detail is reset so
stale "loading_asr" status isn't left behind: inside the except Exception as e
block, explicitly set _loading_detail["sub_stage"] and _loading_detail["detail"]
back to a neutral or failed state (e.g., "idle" or "failed" and a short message)
and then log the error; update the exception handler that currently only logs
("Capture ASR preload skipped: %s") to perform this reset so any callers reading
_loading_detail see a consistent state after backend.warmup() fails.

unloading the ASR backend, leaving the failed backend resident; wrap the ASR
call/exception handling so that _asr.unload() is always called (place the unload
in a finally block surrounding the try/except that logs the error and may raise
the RuntimeError), and then remove the now-redundant later unload block (the
separate unload at Lines 614-617) to avoid double-unload. Ensure you still
preserve the existing logger.error call and the RuntimeError raise when
getattr(_model, "_asr_pipe", None) is None.

Move backend selection inside the new fallback block.
Line 565 still initializes the active backend before the new try. If backend construction fails, this route skips the fallback logic entirely and falls through to the generic 500 path even when _model._asr_pipe is already preloaded.

I addressed the actionable CodeRabbit comments related to startup/memory behavior and ASR cleanup. I’m going to avoid expanding this PR further unless maintainers want additional hardening in the dub transcription fallback path, so the PR stays focused on lazy-loading ASR during desktop startup. |

This is the bug behind issue #35 (speaker diarization setup failure). Both fixes use the same pattern: env var > huggingface_hub.get_token() (which reads the canonical file). Adds a local _has_hf_token() helper to system.py with a comment marking it as prelude to the AUTH-01..06 cascade (Phase 1 token_resolver.py will layer SQLite app-store on top). Closes #35 sub-issue (canonical token invisible to diarization). Cross-cuts AUTH-02 + AUTH-06 design for Phase 1.

Adds three discovery paths: 1. Tray menu: "Switch to Dictation Widget" (studio mode) — saves launch_as_widget=true to config, relaunches with --pill, exits current. Mirrors the existing "Open Studio" path in pill-mode tray. 2. Persistent config: AppConfig.launch_as_widget (bool, default false). Read at startup via load_config_pre_app() (uses dirs-next, no AppHandle required). CLI --pill still takes precedence when explicitly passed. 3. Tauri commands: get_launch_as_widget / set_launch_as_widget for the Phase 2 Settings UI to bind a checkbox to. 4. Scripts: bun desktop-prod:pill / desktop-prod:run:pill — forward --pill to the bundled app launch. macOS uses `open -n --args` to spawn fresh instance with the flag. Closes the GUI half of INST-13. Phase 2 closes the Settings UI half. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(dictation): show widget unconditionally on pill-mode launch + visible Suspense fallback Before: pill mode set up correctly but the widget window stayed hidden until ⌘⇧Space was pressed. New users saw absolutely nothing on launch (no main window, no dock icon, hidden widget) and assumed the app failed. If global-shortcut Accessibility permission wasn't granted, they had no path to discover the widget at all. Two changes: 1. lib.rs: in pill_mode_setup, explicitly show + position + focus the widget window after hiding main. With per-call error logging so we can diagnose failures (and a clear error log if widget window wasn't created at all — points at tauri.conf.json regression). 2. main-app.jsx: Suspense fallback was `null`, which combined with widget's transparent+decorations:false config made any lazy-import delay or failure invisible. Now renders a dark pill saying "Loading dictation…" so even if CaptureWidget lazy-import stalls, the user sees the window exists. Studio mode behavior unchanged — widget stays hidden until hotkey or tray click triggers it (existing show() call in the shortcut/ menu handlers is preserved). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(dictation): create widget window programmatically; Tauri 2 silently dropped config-array creation Root cause: declaring the widget window in tauri.conf.json's app.windows[] silently failed in Tauri 2 — get_webview_window("widget") returned None even though the config was syntactically valid. Probable culprit was the transparent + decorations:false + visible:false combo, but Tauri offered no error message either at startup or via webview_windows() enumeration. Diagnosed by adding webview_windows() enumeration logging at setup start (only ["main"] ever appeared) and a programmatic WebviewWindowBuilder fallback that surfaces real Result errors. Fix: - tauri.conf.json: widget entry now has `create: false` to make the config-vs-programmatic handoff explicit. - lib.rs setup(): call WebviewWindowBuilder::new(app, "widget", ...).build() with the exact same surface attributes the config used to declare. - capabilities/default.json: include "widget" in windows array so the new window inherits the same Tauri permissions as main. - tauri.conf.json: remove the invalid `"url": "/?window=widget"` field — WebviewUrl::App takes a path only, query strings aren't supported. Both windows now load index.html. - main-app.jsx: replace URL-query-based widget detection with getCurrentWindow().label === 'widget' via @tauri-apps/api/window. This is the Tauri 2-recommended pattern for multi-window apps and works regardless of URL routing. Closes the immediate UX bug behind the dictation widget being invisible. Builds cleanly + manually verified: pill widget visible on screen at top-center after `bun desktop-prod:pill`.

Summary
OMNIVOICE_PRELOAD_TTS_ASR=1as an opt-in for eager preload.OMNIVOICE_PRELOAD_CAPTURE_ASR=1.Why
On Apple Silicon, eager TTS + ASR loading can overcommit unified memory during desktop startup. This can leave the app stuck in the model-loading stage before the UI becomes usable.
