ClipLingo 0.1.0 Alpha 1

ClipLingo 0.1.0 Alpha 1

ClipLingo's first real offline translation alpha completes the initial Japanese-to-Indonesian product path on Windows.

What works

• Select text in a Windows application and invoke Ctrl+Shift+T.
• ClipLingo captures the selection through UI Automation with the existing safe clipboard fallback.
• Translation executes locally in an isolated native worker through pinned CTranslate2 and SentencePiece runtimes.
• The initial production route is OPUS-MT ja -> en -> id on CPU.
• The popup keeps the existing latest-request-wins and request-correlation behavior.
• A missing model pack is surfaced explicitly and can be downloaded from the popup.
• Model downloads are SHA256-verified before activation and can be removed through the application model lifecycle.
• Normal translation does not require a cloud translation service and raw source/translated text is not written to normal diagnostics.

Alpha constraints

• Windows 10/11 x64 is the qualified platform for this alpha.
• Japanese to Indonesian is the only production route included in this milestone.
• The release is unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn on first install.
• OCR, cloud fallback, GPU inference, accounts/sync, and additional language routes are not part of this alpha.

Release qualification

The release workflow only creates this tag after it builds the pinned production model pack, verifies its integrity metadata, builds and executes the native runtime probe, runs a real non-deterministic Japanese translation smoke through the isolated worker, and successfully produces the NSIS installer.
