Shortcuts were defined in four places that drifted apart: per-action IPC channel pairs, a hand-written VK table in the service, a second one in the renderer, and three copies of the keycap styling. Adding an action meant editing all of them, so two shortcuts stayed hardcoded in bootstrap and one had no settings entry at all. packages/core/src/keybinding.ts is now the single source for the binding type, the selectable key catalog, the action catalog, normalization, validation, conflict detection, display labels, search and deserialization. Main, preload and renderer all read from it; nothing redefines keys or rules locally. - Each action holds a list of bindings instead of one. AppConfig's four *Shortcut fields collapse into a single keyBindings map, migrated on launch. - Mouse buttons can be bound. Left click is refused, right/middle need a modifier, side buttons are free. uiohook cannot swallow events, so the original click still fires and the UI says so. - Keys can be picked from a grouped dropdown with a search box, not only by recording a keypress. - HOTKEY's 14 channels become KEYBINDING's 9, taking the action as a parameter, so actions no longer multiply channels. The history and command popups moved out of bootstrap into ordinary actions. - displayLabel is gone; labels derive from the binding and follow the app language and platform. Fixes found on the way: - Double-press hands-free was unreachable: lookup returned only the first matching action, and dictation shares its default binding. - Reserved-combination checks compared joined key names, so a different modifier order let Ctrl+C through. - Disabling shortcuts released every global registration in the process, including the popup ones, and never restored them. - Enabling shortcuts after starting disabled left nothing registered. - The dashboard stored the caption event payload instead of the state in it.

apps/desktopStack: Electron 33 + React 19 + MUI 7 + Vite (electron-vite) + better-sqlite3/drizzle + uiohook-napi + nut-js Source root:apps/desktop/src(main/,preload/,renderer/)
1. Process architecture
| Layer | Path | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Main | src/main/ |
Services, IPC handlers, windows, bootstrap/lifecycle, DB |
| Preload | src/preload/ |
index.ts exposes window.electronAPI; popup.ts exposes window.popupAPI |
| Renderer | src/renderer/ |
React app: AppLayout + 7 pages + modals + 5 vanilla popups |
Main entry src/main/index.ts: sets app name/AppUserModelId, disables GPU acceleration, EPIPE/uncaught handlers, registers d3ro-voice:// deep-link protocol (Supabase OAuth implicit + PKCE), single-instance lock, then bootstrap() + setupLifecycle().
Bootstrap src/main/bootstrap.ts: ordered BootstrapStep[] — logger, config, database (critical), license, create-windows (critical), tray, ipc-handlers (critical), custom-instructions, voice-commands, sound-effects, auto-launch, popup-preload, key-bindings, voice-mode, stt-warmup, llm-polling, meeting-summary-wiring, meeting-mode, cloud-sync, auto-update. Wires VoiceMode events to sound + history persistence, and subscribes to KeyBindingService triggered for the history-popup / command-popup actions (bootstrap.ts:159) — those two were hardcoded accelerators before and are now rebindable like everything else.
2. Main services (src/main/services/)
Singleton + EventEmitter pattern (getXService() accessors).
Core voice pipeline
| Service | Purpose |
|---|---|
VoiceModeService |
Orchestrator: 9-state RecognitionState + 4-state AudioState, dual-condition flush, action queue. Events: session-started/completed/cancelled, transcription-update, audio-level, recognition/audio-state-changed, premium-llm-fallback, error |
AudioCaptureService |
Mic PCM16 16kHz mono (bundled SoX on Windows, node-record-lpcm16 elsewhere). Spawns hidden (windowsHide); a missing SoX fails with the exact fix command |
LocalSTTService |
faster-whisper Python sidecar manager (state machine, dual-flush, model download/cancel, background warm-up, live partial transcription). Connects over IPv4 loopback (getSidecarBaseUrl) and fails fast with an actionable message when the bundled engine or virtualenv is missing |
KeyBindingService |
uiohook-napi global hooking for keyboard and mouse, driven by the @d3ro/core/keybinding contract: 6 rebindable actions (dictation, hands-free, command, caption, history-popup, command-popup), several bindings per action, structural reserved-combo checks. Events: triggered (in-process payload carries actionId, type (pressed/released), isDoublePress, holdMode, timestamp; the renderer-facing keybinding:triggered event is the narrower KeyBindingTriggeredEvent, keybinding.ts:1092), changed, error. globalShortcut is used only to mute the macOS system beep, and only for accelerators it registered itself. Mouse events cannot be suppressed by uiohook, so a bound button also performs its native action |

The KEYBINDING group replaced the old per-action HOTKEY group. HOTKEY had 14 channels — a get/set pair per action plus three that were never implemented — so every new action meant new channels. KEYBINDING is 9 channels that take the action as a parameter: getMap, setBindings, resetAction, resetAll, validate, isEnabled, setEnabled, plus the triggered / changed events (packages/core/src/ipc-channels.ts:104). Adding an action now costs zero channels.
Preload exposes window.electronAPI with 33 namespaces: platform, audio, config, voice, stt, keybinding, llm (incl. premium), history, dictionary, stats, window, system, instruction, app, memo, voiceCommand, context, chain, caption, license, fileTranscription, meetingSummary, dictationTemplate, rag, voiceAction, voiceConversation, meetingMode, meetingChat, meetingDocTemplate, cloudSync, onlineAuth, ads, support, payment. The keybinding bridge is 9 methods mirroring the channels above (src/preload/index.ts:323), replacing the 11-method hotkey bridge. Envelope: IPCResult<T> (success/error); app.onDataChanged is the global refresh channel.
4. Windows & popups
windows/WindowManager.ts creates 6 windows: main (borderless, custom TitleBar; macOS hiddenInset), recording-tip, result-popup, history-popup, command-popup, caption-overlay. Injects popup theme CSS + i18n strings; 2-phase resize. windows/TrayManager.ts — tray icon + menu + double-click show.
Popup invariants (each shipped broken once — do not regress):
- 팝업 HTML의 스크립트는 반드시
<script type="module">로 선언한다. Vite는 모듈 스크립트만 번들에 포함하므로 classic<script src="./script.js">는 dev에서만 로드되고 패키징 산출물에서는 파일 자체가 사라진다(오버레이가 정적 HTML로 멈춘 원인).scripts/ci/verify-desktop-renderer-bundles.mjs가 빌드 HTML이 참조하는 모든 로컬 asset의 존재를 검사한다. - 렌더러 로드 전의
webContents.send는 조용히 버려진다. 팝업 전송은sendToPopupWindow를 쓰고, 이 함수가did-finish-load까지 메시지를 보관했다가 전달한다.attachPopupLifecycle이 로드 상태 추적·테마 주입·팝업 렌더러 진단 로그를 한 곳에서 묶는다. - 팝업 표시는
presentPopup으로 통일한다(showInactive+ topmost 재선언 +moveTop+webContents.invalidate). 한 번hide()된 팝업이 두 번째 표시에서 z-order/repaint를 잃어 보이지 않던 문제를 막는다.
Vanilla popups (src/renderer/popups/):
| Popup | Purpose |
|---|---|
recording-tip |
9-bar waveform indicator, partial transcript |
result-popup |
Transcription result + copy, auto-close with hover pause |
history-popup |
Recent transcriptions; ↑↓/Enter/1-9/ESC. Opened by the history-popup action (default Ctrl+Shift+V, rebindable) |
command-popup |
Command selection. Opened by the command-popup action (default Ctrl+Shift+C, rebindable) |
caption-overlay |
Live caption overlay (font/opacity/maxLines) |
5. Renderer IA
Routing is state-based in AppLayout.tsx (Route union + NAV_ITEMS), no react-router.
| Page | Route | Feature |
|---|---|---|
DashboardPage |
dashboard | Voice cockpit: hero, bento tiles, multi-engine hub (STT/LLM), telemetry, recent history, file drop |
HistoryPage |
history | History & memory timeline; search, tag filter, pagination, export/delete |
DictionaryPage |
dictionary | Custom vocabulary editor |
CommandsPage |
commands | Custom instructions + voice keyword rules + LLM chains + dictation templates |
VoiceConversationPage |
conversation | Duplex voice assistant (local pipeline vs OpenAI Realtime) |
KnowledgeBasePage |
knowledge | Local RAG: add/index docs, semantic query, reindex/remove |
MeetingModePage |
meeting | Meeting studio: live transcript, memos, doc generation/export, diarization |
Modals/components: SettingsModal (tabs General/Audio/STT/LLM/License/Cloud/About), LicenseModal, LicenseTab, CloudSyncSection, OnboardingModal, UpgradePromptModal, ProBadge, TemplateSection, FileDropZone, OllamaGuideModal, CodexOAuthGuideModal, TitleBar, StatusBar, meeting components (9), voice-conversation, payment (CheckoutModal, checkout-flow.ts), support (SupportModal), ads (AdBanner, RewardedQuotaModal), shared cards.
Key-binding UI lives in components/keybinding/ (Keycap, KeyBindingPicker, KeyBindingField, translation-key), embedded in the Settings General tab (SettingsModal.tsx:239) — one field per action plus a global on/off switch. The picker offers both key recording and a searchable grouped dropdown (MUI Autocomplete over KEY_CATALOG, KeyBindingPicker.tsx:536). It replaced HotkeyRecordModal. renderer/utils/format-hotkey.ts is now a 17-line platform adapter only; key names, modifier glyphs, and join rules come from @d3ro/core/keybinding.
Hooks: useRealtimeConversation (OpenAI Realtime WebRTC), useLicenseState, useProFeature, useKeyBindingMap (subscribes to keybinding:changed; the dashboard renders the live dictation binding through BindingKeycaps).
DB schema (src/main/db/schema.ts, drizzle SQLite): history, dictionary, stats, memo_tags, daily_usage, rag_documents, rag_chunks, meeting_sessions, meeting_memos, meeting_documents.
6. Desktop status summary
- Core dictation/LLM/history pipeline: implemented + tested. Measured 2026-09-21: 1314 vitest cases in
apps/desktop, 1311 passing; playwright e2e is separate. The failures are environment-dependent rather than regressions — two need a local sidecar venv or embedding server, one pins an error message that has since changed (11GAP-QA-02). These numbers hold withbetter-sqlite3built for the host Node ABI; rebuilding it for Electron to run the app invalidates them until you rebuild back (11GAP-INFRA-06). - Cross-platform packaging: Windows NSIS (signed,
forceCodeSigning), macOS DMG/ZIP arm64 (ad-hoc signing); auto-update via canonical Forgejo feed with update policy (release/update-policy.json). - Local-first AI (SoX + faster-whisper sidecar + bundled Ollama) and cloud paths both present.
- Local STT is packaged (
1.3.0):electron-builder.ymlextraResourcescopiessidecar-dist/sidecar→resources/sidecarandresources/ffmpeg→resources/ffmpeg;scripts/ci/verify-sidecar-bundle.mjsgates packaging. Build locally withnpm --prefix apps/desktop run sidecar:setup && npm --prefix apps/desktop run sidecar:build. The sidecar stays in console mode sostdout/stderrreach the app log (UTF-8, line-buffered); a packaged sidecar must exist or startup fails loudly instead of silently falling back to a system Python. - All local engine URLs (
LocalSTTService,LocalLLMService,RAGService,OnlineLLMService,STTManager) pass throughsrc/main/utils/loopback.ts, which rewriteslocalhostto127.0.0.1, because some Windows hosts resolvelocalhostto IPv6 only and local engines bind IPv4. - Meeting intelligence, RAG, voice conversation (local + Realtime), captions, file transcription: implemented.
- Key bindings: implemented and verified on Windows. Every global shortcut now comes from one contract (
@d3ro/core/keybinding) with multiple bindings per action, mouse-button support, and no hardcoded accelerators left inbootstrap.ts. A manual run on 2026-09-21 confirmed legacy migration (custom values preserved), 6 actions loaded, the uiohook keyboard and mouse hook active with zero boot errors, and multi-binding working; contract side ispackages/core117 tests GREEN with no type errors in the key-binding files (11GAP-KEY-01[x]). Two things remain open:KeyBindingServicehas no unit test of its own, and macOS/Linux mouse behavior is unconfirmed (11GAP-KEY-02). The rewrite also fixed a dead hands-free double-press path, an order-dependent reserved-combo check, aglobalShortcut.unregisterAll()that wiped the popup accelerators, and asetEnabled(true)that re-enabled hooking with an empty binding set. - The same pass fixed an unrelated pre-existing dashboard bug:
caption.onStateChangeddelivers{ state }, butDashboardPagepassed the whole object intosetCaptionState, so the caption status readout never showed the right value (DashboardPage.tsx:148). - Ad mediation:
DirectHouseSponsorAdapterperforms real configurable REST bids; the other 9 adapters remain fail-closed stubs pending official SDKs (see11-gap-backlog.mdGAP-ADS-01/02). - Tier resolution now routes through
@d3ro/core/entitlement(resolveEntitlement,normalizeEntitlementTier);useLicenseState.isProincludespro_plus. - No
TODO/FIXMEmarkers found insrc(grep clean).src/main/types/is an empty directory.
