❗ FULL RELEASE

1. fixed google docs glitch for good
2. fixed stale session
3. fixed not being able to say single words
4. rewrote some parts of background.js
5. Made base-multilingual the default model
6. moved distil-medium out of experimental
7. fixed compatibility on most other sites
8. a few new developer mode options (such as microphone gain!)

Note: You may see the word Provider/Engine. They are interchangeable.

Fixes:
Inability to type in Google Docs or similar canvas-based sites within the google domain.

Known Issues:
1. Using Google Docs with the Speech to Text Keybind currently does not work (Mitigation: You have to use google's built in voice-typing for it to work). This will be fixed in the next build.
2. Stale session (or constant unintelligible/red mic icon) sometimes after a model is switched. This can be mitigated by reloading the site and will also be fixed in the next build.

✅ Guaranteed: Future Roadmap
1. Merge the keybind that opens google docs' built in voice-typing with the extension's keybind.
1.1. I might just make an option to merge the keyboard yourself for any website so It's not manually done/updated by me each time, but I'll add the major sites like google docs/microsoft word keybind merges as defaults in the extension.
2. Cancel/stop all voice session ids if the model is changed. This should fix red mic/stale session issues without having to reload the site.
3. Add an option to disable the extension for a specific site.
4. Move distil-medium out of experimental category since its decent now.
5. Make base-multilingual the default model (tiny multilingual sucks at english transcription and since the majority using this will be english speaking they may think its not working)
6. All of this should come at the same time with the full release of v1.0

❓ Not Guaranteed: Future Roadmap
1. Adding continuous voice speech recognition (prob unlikely since it'll be very hacky and annoying to deal with)
1.1. Currently, you can just click the mic again after speaking and the extension already records your audio until you finish talking anyways so I don't see the point. Would probably only work out well with the cloud api.
2. Fix the extension not detecting voice if user only says a singular word and making it work properly in Mozilla's Webspeech color test
3. If none of the above comes out for the v1.0 full release, it probably wont come out at all and was likely cancelled to maintain the current stability of the extension.

Added the ability export and import settings.
Added the ability to edit sites by clicking on them and clearing inputs for the sites lists.
Added auto-updating of site lists on options page.
Added a drop down for sites lists on options page.

TLDR: less memory bloat, better per-tab status, fewer stuck transcriptions, a hotkey, and a more reliable “Enter/submit” after dictation.

Enhancements
- Dual engine support: choose on-device Whisper or cloud AssemblyAI; store API key; optional prefetch/cache of default model.
- Adaptive VAD and stop logic: smarter noise floor, early “no speech” stop, optional 5s hard cap toggle, grace-window toggle.
- Per-site overrides include engine selection (plus model/language/timeout); popup auto-hides model when cloud engine is chosen and auto-saves changes.
- Options UI: engine card, dev toggles (hide model sections, hide favicons, hard cap, grace, cache model), “Save all” + factory reset; options auto-unload when idle.
- Action icon UX: download/cache/done/cancel badges; cached badge on reuse; brief held error state.

Fixes
- Better cancel/stale-session handling and tighter processing timeout to avoid hangs.
- Stricter handling of silent/too-short/pathological audio as “no audio/unintelligible,” reducing bad results.
- Processing fallback timer and GC/reload behavior to prevent long-running or stuck states.
- Basically its less likely to break....

Updated Garbage Collector (GC):
Idle memory usage is now at ~4MB (after being cleared see below) originally from 1GB
The extension clears cache after 30 seconds of idle and after closing the tab or navigating to a different site.
