v0.4.1-beta

### 0.4.1-beta Hotfix

  • Fixed high CPU usage and typing lag in very large text fields by coalescing stale Accessibility polling chains and reading only the caret-adjacent text window.

---

Welcome to Cotabby 0.4.0-beta! This release delivers major quality-of-life upgrades: a new inline emoji picker, granular acceptance controls, massive latency cuts, and a revamped onboarding flow.

### 🚀 Headline Features

  • Inline Emoji Picker: Native `:emoji:` picker with skin tone/gender customization, smart hover states, and reliable `Tab` commit.
  • Granular Acceptance Controls: Accept suggestions exactly how you want—by Word, Phrase, or Full completion.
  • Extended Context Playground: New Advanced settings pane to test and visualize how context feeds into the AI engine.
  • Chromium & Electron Support: Expanded macOS accessibility to fully support autocomplete in Chromium-based web editors.

### ⚡ Performance & AI Engine

  • Slashed Latency: Drastically reduced typing delay with aggressive optimizations (50ms polling, 20ms debounce).
  • Cleaner AI Output: The engine now automatically strips hallucinated prompt-scaffolding labels from suggestions.
  • Stable Ghost Text: Fixed ghost font rendering glitches by locking it to field identity instead of focus sequence.

### ✨ UX & Settings Polish

  • Revamped Onboarding: Redesigned out-of-the-box flow with starting templates, grid layouts, and a live autocomplete showcase.
  • Settings Overhaul: Flattened the sidebar, unified the Engine & Model panes, and added helpful subtext for complex options.
  • Global Hotkeys: Added a global toggle hotkey to enable/disable Cotabby, plus built-in safeguards to prevent shortcut conflicts.
  • UI Cleanup: Fixed popup borders, removed redundant toggles, and added an option to hide the word-count badge for a cleaner menu bar.

Hotfix: input swallowing

If you were on 0.3.0-beta and noticed that typing in Chrome, Slack, Discord, or other Electron / Chromium-based apps sometimes felt like Cotabby was eating your keystrokes — this build fixes that.

### What was happening

While a Cotabby suggestion was visible, the OS-level accept-key hook could swallow keystrokes that matched the user's accept binding. The match logic was correct in isolation, but two structural holes made it possible for ordinary typing to disappear:

  • The key recorder accepted bare alphanumerics like a plain letter as an accept binding. From that moment, every press of that letter system-wide while a suggestion was visible got eaten.
  • The default full-accept binding was bare backtick (`) — a real character users type in code, markdown, and JS template literals.
  • The hook had no in-the-moment check that a real, ready suggestion existed when it consumed; any stale lifecycle state could leak into a swallow.

### What changed

The active accept tap is now fail-open (#382). It refuses to consume a keystroke when either of the following is true:

  • The bound key is a bare printable (no modifier + produces a unicode character). A warning lands in the runtime log pointing at Settings > Shortcuts.
  • The coordinator does not confirm at event time that the suggestion state is `.ready`, an active session is live, and the overlay is visible.

When in doubt, the keystroke falls through to the host app unchanged. The legitimate accept path is unchanged: with a modified binding (or plain Tab) and a real ready suggestion, acceptance still fires exactly as before.

### Notes

  • If you previously recorded a bare letter as your accept key, rebind it with a modifier in Settings > Shortcuts to restore acceptance. The fix means your typing comes through either way; the warning in the log is the only hint.
  • 0.3.1-beta was skipped: it bundled a tighter AX-publish timing tweak that turned out to regress prediction quality. That change is reverted here in #384.
