- stt.py: local + remote (OpenAI-compatible) transcription, TCP reachability
status, benchmark. Tested live against faster-whisper-server :8010.
- llm.py: LLM engine presets (url/model/key/temperature) + chat + status.
Tested live against local Qwen :19001 and llama-swap :28080.
- config: [stt]/[[stt_engine]] and [llm]/[[llm_engine]] presets with active
selectors; defaults synthesized from legacy [whisper]/[rewrite].
- daemon: transcribe via active STT engine, rewrite via active LLM engine;
load local Whisper only when the active STT engine is local.
- Rename package entry __main__.py -> blitztext.py (thin __main__ shim keeps
`python -m blitztext` working). Remove rewrite.py (folded into llm.py).
- App icon extracted from the macOS AppIcon.icns; installed at several hicolor
sizes by the .deb and used as the window icon. Drop placeholder SVG.

One hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+Space) records; the spoken keyword at the start or end of
speech selects the preset, which is then stripped and the rest applied. New
routing.py does ASR-tolerant matching (normalize + fuzzy + edge-window scan +
token-drift slack); config gains a [routing] section and per-preset `keywords`;
the daemon adds a "route" mode and biases Whisper with the keywords as hotwords.
Falls back to a default preset when no keyword is recognised.

Replace the tkinter panel with a GTK3 control panel (gtkui.py) + settings
dialog (gtksettings.py): rounded CSD window, gradient background, circular icon
avatars, hotkey pills, hover states, Ubuntu font. Runs on the GTK main loop,
unified with the AppIndicator tray (no tkinter event-loop pump). Status updates
marshalled via GLib.idle_add. Removes the old tkinter gui.py.

packaging/build-deb.sh builds an installable blitztext_<ver>_arm64.deb with a
desktop entry, app icon, and launcher. Bundles a relocatable venv (all Python
deps, no pip at install) and declares system deps (python3-gi, xdotool,
libnotify-bin, recorder). Built on /usr/bin/python3 so the tray works out of
the box. Installs via the Software app or `apt install ./…deb`.

Minimal flat design with the Ubuntu font: clickable workflow rows with hover
(click to record/stop), muted descriptions and hotkey hints, subtle dividers,
and text-style Settings/Quit. Drops monogram avatars and per-row buttons.
Settings window restyled to match.

The upstream app is macOS-only (Swift/SwiftUI, CoreML/WhisperKit) and can't
run on Linux or in a container. This adds a native host tool under linux/ that
reproduces the workflow: focus any text field, press a hotkey, speak, and the
optionally-rewritten text is typed into that field.
- Engine: pynput global hotkeys → mic record → local faster-whisper →
optional OpenAI-compatible rewrite → xdotool typing into the focused window
- Frontends: system tray (AppIndicator, default), tkinter control panel,
and headless modes
- Config-driven workflows in ~/.config/blitztext/config.toml with per-workflow
prompt/model/temperature overrides
- Packaging: install.sh, requirements.txt, systemd user unit
- Targets X11; local transcription runs CPU int8 on this arm64 host
See linux/CHANGELOG.md and linux/README.md for details.
