From 00d579c4c8c5972f6c52e40e6aae8a1de0702855 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fabian Meyer <44942030+dinooo13@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:06:59 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] Learning: the correction diff and the phonetic gate The pure half of #37. `CorrectionDiff` aligns the window around a paste as it was when the paste was found (margin, paste, margin) against a later reading of the same window, a token LCS, case-sensitive. A word is a run of letters and digits with an inner apostrophe or hyphen; every other visible character is its own punctuation token, so a pair never crosses a comma or a full stop. A hunk becomes a pair only with one or two words on each side, wholly inside the paste, no punctuation, at most 256 characters, no control characters, and more than a change of case: a capital belongs to the sentence, not the word, as the issue says. Insertions and deletions are editing, not correcting. Four or more changes, or more than half the paste changed, is a rewrite and yields nothing rather than the first three. The margin is part of the observation rather than only of the reading: it anchors a one-word paste on the unchanged text around it, and it tells a correction of the dictation apart from the user editing their own text next to it. The last reading that still holds 60 % of the window's words is used, so an emptied chat field after Return falls back to the reading before it. `PhoneticGate` is the cheap check before the model: Soundex codes agree or an edit distance of at most two on letters-and-digits keys, one for keys of three characters or fewer. Metaphone is left out; Soundex and the distance catch every misrecognition the tests hold, and the model judges after this. Soundex is written again here rather than made visible in `CustomWordCorrector`, which sits on the release-to-paste path and is not touched by a feature that runs after it.

Each yes becomes a proposal, three at most per paste. A review that throws drops that pair only. `pasted` returns the task so tests await it instead of polling; the app drops it. A plain Sendable class rather than the actor the plan sketched: it holds no mutable state, and an actor would only add a hop before the detached task. Dismissed pairs get their own file, `dismissed-corrections.json`, not a field of `Settings`: every settings assignment is compared, saved and rebuilds the processor pipeline, and `SettingsStore` moves an undecodable file aside, so a bug here could cost the dictionary. This file can only cost itself; an unreadable one counts as empty and stays where it is.

23 Sep 2026 08:53:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 3/9] Learning: watch the pasted field through Accessibility `AXPasteObserver` is the `PastedTextObserver` the app uses. It is only ever called after the coordinator emitted `inserted`, and every AX call runs on its own run-loop thread (the hotkey tap's thread shape): AX is synchronous IPC to the target app, so it never runs on the main thread or a cooperative-pool thread, and each call is capped at one second. The focused element of the focused app must be a text area, text field or combo box and never a secure field. Chromium and Electron build their tree only for an assistive technology, so once per app the undeclared `AXManualAccessibility` is set and focus read again; not `AXEnhancedUserInterface`, which is VoiceOver's. The paste is found right before the caret with `AXStringForRange`, with and without the trailing space the output may have added, so the coordinator's event did not have to change. The target app pastes on its own run loop, so a miss is retried eight times at 125 ms. From then on only a window is read, the paste plus max(64, a quarter of it) either side, its end following the field's length; a field without `AXStringForRange` is read whole only below 20 000 characters. Every value change reads the window, undebounced: a chat field empties the instant Return is pressed, and the diff needs the reading before that. Focus leaving, the app deactivating, the element going away or 60 s passing ends the watch with one last read. A second paste finishes the first watch early with what it has. The tests stub the grant rather than read it: a harness started from a trusted terminal is trusted too, and must still never touch the field the developer is dictating into. They pin the no-grant return and the window arithmetic. The thread's `finish` does not wait for a loop, as a thread cancelled before it ran never publishes one; the first test run hung on exactly that.

Proposals come back through a small relay, the same trick `EventRelay` uses to hand the coordinator a callback before `self` exists. The hook is one statement in `handle(.inserted)`, which runs after the coordinator emitted the event that ends the measured window; the learner only spawns a detached task. It fires only with the Accessibility grant: without it the output copied and pasted nothing. Nothing between `recordingStopped` and `inserted` changes. Each proposal is one menu line, "Learned “Claud” → “Claude”?", a submenu with Add and Dismiss, newest first, three at most, duplicates collapsed. The menu rather than an overlay toast: the pill is click-through and never key by construction, the Menu Bar style shows no pill at all, and a proposal that arrives a minute after the dictation should wait for the user rather than interrupt them. The menu bar glyph is unchanged. Add merges `heard → corrected` into the dictionary, overwriting a rule with the same `from` as the Dictionary tab's import does, through the settings setter, so it is saved and the next dictation uses it. Dismiss drops the line and records the pair. The feature has no setting: without Accessibility or with Apple Intelligence off nothing is watched and nothing is shown. German for the three new strings: "„%1$@“ → „%2$@“ ins Wörterbuch?", "Hinzufügen", "Verwerfen".
