Changelog

• macOS 26 (Tahoe) fullscreen fix. The recording HUD uses an NSPanel with type: 'panel' so it draws above fullscreen apps. This regressed in the macOS 26 beta and is now resolved.
• HUD follows active display. If you have multiple monitors, the HUD appears on the display that currently has focus.
• Admin dashboard polish. Several internal-only fixes for the ops dashboard so we can monitor backend health without SSH.

• Faster on short clips. We now skip the AI cleanup pass on very short utterances where it adds latency without changing the output.
• One less resample. A redundant resampling step in the audio path is gone — about 340ms shaved off the Deepgram path.
• Deepgram learned vocabulary. When you teach Shruvi a custom word, we now pass it as a biasing keyterm to Deepgram automatically. (Other providers were already supported.)
• Electron 39 runtime. Bumped from Electron 30 to 39 to track the active LTS support window.
• Connection-per-IP limit. Backend now caps WebSocket connections per source IP via SHRUVI_WS_CONNECT_PER_IP_LIMIT.

• status.shruvi.com. A public status page (Better Stack on free tier, Cloudflare DNS-only CNAME). Users can now check whether the backend is healthy at a glance.
• Download cache fix. /download/mac and /download/windows now include a ?v=<version> cache-buster. If you were a Windows user downloading "the latest" only to find an older version installed, this is the fix — the old Cache-Control: immutable headers on the binary URLs were poisoning browser caches for up to a year.
• Cleanup model upgrade. AI cleanup now uses llama-3.3-70b-versatile for sharper output on the same latency budget.

A pre-launch UX overhaul. Every page now speaks the same visual language:

• Ambient hero with the Aurora wallpaper
• Audiowide eyebrows on every section header
• Nunito display numerals
• Bare rows with hairline dividers — no SaaS card density
• Single, consistent grid across Settings, History, Account, and Home

If you've been on Shruvi since v1.3.x, this is the biggest visual change the app has ever shipped.

• xAI Aurora support. Real-time streaming and batch transcription through xAI's new Aurora model. Speaker diarization built in. Twenty-five languages supported.
• xAI handshake fix. Audio is now held until xAI's transcript.created event, fixing silent failures on cold sessions.
• Provider system. xAI joins Groq (default), OpenAI Realtime, Google Chirp 2, and Deepgram in the pluggable provider registry. Switch via the admin API at runtime — no restart.
