Master grew Google AI Studio and Antigravity as providers, a doctor that
names each provider's own key, and settings that fetch every hosted
model list as the window opens. OpenCode Go is folded into each: its
name joins SERVICES and the doctor's key table, its key row sits beside
Google's, its Fetch button follows the per-provider pattern Google's
uses, and _load_hosted_models fetches its catalog at open when a key is
on file, filling the cleanup and agent boxes alike.
Nothing was measured that put OpenCode Go beside it, so the tooltip
claims only what is known: OpenRouter is the quickest, and OpenCode Go
merely needs nothing installed either. The translation follows word for
word.
The tooltip gained OpenCode Go but its translation was added without the
llama.cpp sentence the tooltip actually carries, so a Turkish window
showed the English text. The full entry now matches the tooltip word for
word, and the two shorter variants nothing looks up any more are gone.
The settings-storage paragraph goes back to the one sentence it was. The screen list now shows native resolutions rather than the scaled ones, the Turkish tab is named Ekran, and the repositioning comment says what a named screen changes.
Codex now asks itself for its model list, doctor grew ready flags and a
per-provider line, and the Groq key joined the masked ones; the OpenCode
additions are folded into each. The no-CLI cleanup test follows the
fake_run to fake_cli rename.
Both sides rewrote the doctor: master rebuilt it around ready flags so a
fully local setup stops reading as broken, while this branch taught it
that Google has a key of its own and that the local model has neither a
key nor a program. Kept master's structure and folded the branch in: the
two hosted providers answer for their keys, a CLI for its program, and
the JSON keeps both the provider-aware "key" and master's "ready".
SECRET_KEYS gained groq on master and gemini here; the resolution keeps
all four. _conclude was also changed by both: master stopped matching
stderr wording and asks _API_TROUBLE instead, this branch renamed its
last parameter to the provider's short name so a session is stored under
the name it is read back by; the rename now rides on master's body.
codex_models() and the settings loaders landed beside the new Gemini
ones, so both stay. The new cleanup tests called the CLI fake by its old
name, fake_run, which master had renamed to fake_cli.
The paste block was rewritten by both sides: master taught press() to
put the remembered application back in front (focus), this branch moved
the history write ahead of the paste and stopped restoring the old
clipboard over a transcript the key press refused. Kept this branch's
order and error handling, and handed press() the focus it now takes.
OpenRouter's free tier rate-limits and carries no free Gemini model, and
cleaning up through Claude Code costs a fixed few seconds because it opens
a whole CLI session to drop three "uh"s. Google's own free tier suits a
short, frequent request, and its OpenAI-compatible endpoint answers
/chat/completions, so cleanup there is one request and the same code path
OpenRouter already takes.
The one thing that is not shared is the thinking level. Google reads
OpenAI's flat reasoning_effort rather than OpenRouter's object, and "none"
is how thinking is turned off, so it is sent rather than skipped: a Flash
model left to think spends exactly the second this provider was chosen to
save. Its top two rungs land on "high", which is as far as Google goes.
Speech to text stays where it was. That endpoint has no
/audio/transcriptions behind it, audio only goes in as base64 inside a
chat message, and what comes back has none of the segment times a subtitle
file or a meeting transcript is built out of.
Antigravity joins as well, on cleanup and as an agent. It is a CLI like the
other two and costs the same session, so it is here for people who already
pay for it rather than as an answer to the speed. It takes neither an empty
tool list nor a read-only sandbox, and cleanup.py now says so plainly
instead of implying parity; what it gets is a project of its own, the home
directory, and its slash commands off.
Three things were already wrong and are fixed on the way past, because the
new providers walk the same paths: doctor raised KeyError on the local
model, whose executable is ""; the history recorded Claude's model whoever
answered; and every agent row read "asked Claude".

A key row under Keys, a model box in the cleanup tab and a box in the
agent tab, each with its own model list of the models OpenCode Go
serves over /chat/completions. Fetch model list reads whichever cleanup
provider is on screen, and the Turkish strings cover the new rows.
Pressing the shortcut while a transcript was being transcribed or cleaned up
did nothing, and the thought you had while waiting was lost. The microphone is
free the moment a recording stops, so the next dictation can now be spoken at
once; the pipeline queues it and each one is finished, pasted and reported in
the order it was spoken. The corner indicator stays with the recording under
way rather than being wiped by the previous run's progress, and a stop that
lands behind an unfinished run says it is waiting its turn.
Every model box has taken a typed name all along, but nothing said so, and a
closed-looking list reads as the whole choice. The Claude Code and Codex boxes
now carry a tooltip saying the list is a starting point, not a fence. Claude
gets no fetched list of its own: its CLI has no catalog command, and the
aliases it takes (sonnet, opus, haiku, fable) already follow the newest model
of each line.
doctor judged the local provider by the API key it does not use, so a
fully local machine always saw a red mark, and it crashed outright with
local cleanup picked; both lines now ask readiness. config list printed
the Groq key in plaintext while masking the other two. The one subprocess
decoded with the locale codepage gets its UTF-8 back, so a Turkish
filename cannot hang a file transcription, and a redirected stdout on
Windows replaces what it cannot encode instead of failing after the work
succeeded. meeting-cancel stops advertising a --wait the server never
honoured. "you" and "bye" leave the hallucination list: people dictate
them. The minutes stage failing no longer burns the transcription
checkpoint, and an untouched meeting-length dial no longer rewrites a
value the command line set in seconds. A prompt box compared against the
wrong language's default after a switch no longer fossilizes the old
default as a custom prompt.
The 67 strings of the local-model box, the whole first-run screen of the
shipped default, get their Turkish. The hub cache moves to the platform's
cache directory instead of ~/.cache on every system; the old directory is
a few orphaned kilobytes with a six-hour shelf life. The last NO_WINDOW
spellings collapse into the constant paths already carries, one
windowed-executable lookup, one session-file reader, one install-record
reader, one download progress signal carrying its destination, and the
KDE conflict scan loses the branch its other branch already covered.

A check on the releases page once a day: at start, on a timer while Dikte
runs, from the General tab on demand, and from `dikte update` at a terminal.
What it finds goes in the tray menu and in one notification per version, and
opens the release page.
Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed. The four downloads are
installed four different ways and three of those belong to the platform: a
Mac bundle cannot rewrite itself while it is running, the Windows setup has
an uninstall entry of its own, an AppImage is a file kept wherever its owner
keeps it, and a checkout is updated with git. Being wrong about any one of
them means an installation somebody has to repair by hand.
Versions are compared by their numbers alone. A build off master carries the
released number with its commit after it, and that build is ahead of the
release it names rather than behind it; read as a version suffix, every
nightly would be told to go back to a release it had already passed.
The clock lives in its own file rather than in the settings, since a check
runs while the settings window may be open and a background write into
config.json is what would overwrite whatever it holds.
An hour and a half of speech came back as "OpenRouter: HTTP 502: The
operation was aborted due to timeout", every time. The upload limit was
the only thing deciding where the file was cut, and mp3 at 48 kbps
reaches 24 MB after an hour, so a 90 minute file became two chunks and
the first one was 63 minutes of audio in a single request. Nothing
between here and the model stays on the line that long.
A chunk is capped at fifteen minutes now, whatever it weighs, and the
call is finally handed a timeout of its own: it was going out on the 300
second default sized for a dictation, which the same chunk would have
hit first anyway.
The other half is not throwing the run away when one request fails.
ApiError carries whether a second try can fix it, which is true of the
statuses a gateway raises itself and of a dropped connection, and false
of a rejected key. A chunk is asked for three times, waiting five then
ten seconds, with the Stop button still able to get through. If it does
fail in the end, what was already heard goes to the output box rather
than the bin, with the status line saying where it stops.
Saving already switched the language everywhere strings are made at the
moment they are shown: the tray is rebuilt, the indicator and the message
box translate as they speak. The settings window is the one place written
once, at construction, so the window that took the new language was the
one place still showing the old one, and a tooltip asked for a restart.
Now the window remembers the language it was built in, and a save that
changed it has the app replace the window: a fresh one comes up where the
old one stood, on the same tab. The restart tooltip goes, having nothing
left to excuse.

Every file this branch touches moved into dikte/, so the merge is mostly the
rename following the edits. What needed a hand:
hotkey.py: master replaced the _macos()/_gnome() pair with one backend()
chooser, and this branch had added _windows() to the pair. Windows is a fifth
value of the chooser now, and everything that used to ask "macOS or Windows?"
asks backend() instead. The key is held by the running process there, so
installs_shortcuts() and shortcut_needs_restart() are both false for it, and
desktop_name() says Windows.
install.ps1 and the Windows README name dikte/__main__.py, the entry point the
Linux and macOS installers were pointed at in the same commit. The Start Menu
entry, the autostart entry and the dikte.cmd shim all come off one $entry
variable.
settings_ui.py: the shortcut tab now has a Windows sentence of its own, with
the Turkish for it. Falling through to the branch master wrote for a desktop
with no registry would have told a Windows user to check /dev/input. Nothing
covers that branch: there is no Windows Settings test class, the way there is
one for macOS.
CONTRIBUTING: the chooser it names is backend() now, and the test count is the
merged one, 1067 of 1110 running anywhere.
Twenty-two files at the top of the tree was the first thing anybody saw of
this repository. They are one package now, imported relatively, and the three
scripts that are not the front door moved under scripts/. install.sh stays
where the README has always said it is.
What starts the application is dikte/__main__.py: python3 -m dikte runs it,
and so does naming the file, which is what the launcher symlink, both .desktop
files, the macOS bundle and every registered shortcut do. Run by path there is
no package around it, so it puts the checkout on sys.path itself.
The installers now keep the keys you chose when they are given none, which is
what an update is: update.sh no longer has to read them out and pass them back.
An updater from before this commit cannot read them at all, so the one thing it
can say, the default key with an empty discard key, is read as "nothing was
asked for" rather than obeyed. That guard can go once nobody is updating across
this commit.
