# Hey Piclo changelog
All notable changes per released version, newest first. The publish script turns
this into the release notes Sparkle shows with each update prompt.
## 0.1.5 (build 6) — 2026-07-08
### Changed
- Short phrases up to five words now paste instantly more often: common word
endings (thanks, dictated) no longer get mistaken for garbled dictionary
terms and sent through a cloud round trip.
### Fixed
- The Guide tab no longer shows a keyboard shortcut that was removed.
- The fallback local model setting now links to the same how-to guide as the
main local model setup.
## 0.1.4 (build 5) — 2026-07-08
### Changed
- The app is now named "Hey Piclo" everywhere, including the Applications
folder and the permission panes. macOS may ask for Microphone and
Accessibility once more after this update; one-time.
- The Getting Started guide is back inside the DMG.
## 0.1.3 (build 4) — 2026-07-08
### Fixed
- After an update, macOS may ask for Accessibility once more; the app now
walks you to the right place. (One-time signature transition.)
- The menu bar status line is short again, so the menu is easy to scan.
- The Settings window now shrinks back down when you lower the text size,
instead of keeping stale space on the right.
## 0.1.2 (build 3) — 2026-07-08
### Fixed
- The ghost "Thank you." Whisper sometimes added after your last sentence is
gone: trailing silence is trimmed before transcription, and a final phrase
is only ever dropped when it provably came from silence. A "thank you" you
actually said is never touched.
- Starting dictation can no longer cut off a live Command Mode session (and
vice versa); each gesture only stops its own kind of recording.
- Web research on the Claude engine works again (a wrong tool version made
every research command silently fall back to a non-web model).
- Vault Mode is honest on fresh installs: no local model means Vault gives
exact on-device dictation, and leaving Vault only lands on an engine that
is actually set up.
- Editing text that opens with an apology no longer makes commands silently
do nothing; words like "curl" or "link" no longer trigger fake web
research; mentioning an AI model by name no longer escalates cost tiers;
"make this a code snippet" edits instead of saving a snippet.
- Commands are no longer wrapped in dictation scaffolding, and a failed paid
web search is not re-billed on another model.
- Gestures and shortcuts arm within seconds of granting Accessibility on
first run; no relaunch needed.
- Long error messages fit the status pill, and the pill appears on the
screen you are working on.
- Appending at the cursor reports honestly when the paste could not land.
### Changed
- Hardened the command prompt against instructions hidden inside selected
text or the clipboard.
- Faster dictation cleanup on Gemini's default model.
## 0.1.1 (build 2) — 2026-07-07
First shareable beta.
### Added
- First-run setup window: gestures, live permission status, optional AI key.
- Getting Started guide, bundled in the app and in the DMG.
- Share Diagnostic Log menu item (content-free log, emailed to John).
- Default shortcuts: Control+Option+V toggles Vault Mode, Control+Option+D cycles
the dictation level. Both rebindable.
- Sparkle auto-update with a real signing key: this build updates itself once
the update feed is live.
### Fixed
- Vault Mode never refuses to turn on: without a local model it now switches to
fully on-device raw dictation instead of failing silently.
- Snippet triggers no longer fire on ordinary speech about snippets (the
"snippet at my address" false-expansion leak).
- Command Mode can no longer paste its internal prompt scaffolding when a cloud
model returns an empty reply.
- Stuck recording when both Command keys were held and released across sides.
- Clipboard is preserved across overlapping dictations and word fixes.
- Dozens of smaller fixes from a full audit round (hotkeys, streaming,
single-instance, packaging).
### Changed
- Sharing with Piclo Bot is now off by default on fresh installs.
- Keyboard shortcuts come alive right after Accessibility is granted, no
relaunch needed.
