@divitkashyap divitkashyap released this 10 Jul 21:44

Security and dictation-quality maintenance release, plus a couple of new building blocks.

Highlights

  • Dictation: replaced Space-to-lock with an Escape-based long-form session shortcut. Paste now targets the exact app that had focus when you started talking (fixes cross-app mix-ups), fixes a Chromium/Electron paste-timing race, and never clobbers something you copied manually mid-restore.
  • Security hardening: the browser-companion bridge now rejects requests from web-page origins and validates the loopback host; dictation debug logs no longer touch /tmp or contain transcript text; pasted text is sanitized against newline/control-character injection.
  • New: local, privacy-preserving clipboard context detection (localhost URLs, JSON, file:line references, stack traces) — foundation for smarter clipboard actions.
  • New: a backend for an upcoming "actionable developer inbox" (permission-required / completed session events) — UI coming next.
  • Larger, correctly-transparent menu-bar icon matching the Loch splash logo.
