v1.5.7-beta.1

# FluidVoice v1.5.7-beta.1

## Beta Notice
- This is a beta build and may be unstable.
- Please test at your own risk.
- If you test this build, we would really appreciate bug reports with logs.

## What's New in This Beta
- Forced log collection is enabled by default to improve crash/debug visibility.
- Added a quick `Report Issue` entry point (bug icon) to open GitHub Issues faster.
- Rollback flow improved:
  - Roll back to locally available previous build when present.
  - If local rollback is not found, you can open previous build links from recent releases.
- Added manual fallback access to recent previous builds (last stable releases) for easier recovery.
- Rollback confirmation flow now includes a direct path to report bugs.

## Stability Notes
- This beta focuses on recoverability and diagnostics after the 1.5.7 issues.
- Crash and failure investigation should now be easier with default log persistence.

## Help Us Improve
- Report issues here: https://github.com/altic-dev/FluidVoice/issues

## Major Features
### Expanded Overlay Experience
- Introduced a significantly improved large overlay with richer, in-context controls.
- Upgraded small and medium overlays with cleaner UX, better alignment, and more consistent behavior.
- Overlay now acts as a true control surface for dictation and editing workflows.

### Overlay Control Surface
You can now control key workflow settings directly from the overlay:
- Mode selection (Dictate / Edit Text / Command)
- Prompt selection per mode
- AI Enhancement toggle (on/off)
- Actions menu for quick operations
- Settings shortcut (gear) to open Preferences instantly

#### Action Menus and More
- Reprocess last dictation
- Copy last transcription
- Undo AI processing on last transcription
- Improved action reliability and fallback behavior

### Prompts and Advanced (Write/Edit Updates)
- Write/Edit mode controls are now consolidated into `Prompts & Advanced` for a cleaner workflow.
- Reduced mode confusion by centralizing prompt behavior and mode-specific controls.
- Navigation update: separate `Write` / `Rewrite` sidebar items were removed.
- These workflows now live under AI Enhancement settings as `Edit Text` mode.

### Custom Prompt Profiles
- Added custom prompting support for both `Dictate` and `Edit Text` modes.
- You can create and manage multiple prompt profiles per mode.
- Active prompt can be selected quickly in the overlay, making prompt switching much faster during live use.

## Prompt and Edit Text Workflow Improvements
- Clearer separation and naming for Dictate vs Edit Text workflows
- Better context behavior and prompt routing in Edit Text mode
- Improved provider/model sync behavior for Edit Text settings

#### Word Boosting
- Added stronger custom vocabulary boosting workflow for Parakeet models
- Improved boost controls and tuning behavior
- Better custom words UX and prioritization

## Reliability and Stability
- Deterministic hotkey mode switching to avoid accidental processing on mode change
- Improved overlay processing-state behavior and cancellation handling
- Better model/provider handling and ASR improvements
- Improved audio/device edge-case handling
- Better Icon sizing for Non 26.0 macOS devices @moogman 
- Fixed app freeze when USB microphone is plugged in during recording @JereSalo 

## Known Issues (macOS Sonoma)
- We are aware of multiple crashes on macOS Sonoma.
- These are related to newer UI elements that are not fully supported on Sonoma.
- If you need immediate stability, please update to macOS Sequoia (`15.x`).

## Intel Note (Beta)
- Fixed an Intel launch/crash risk caused by architecture mismatch in the embedded `MediaRemoteAdapter.framework`.
- Intel support in this release should be treated as beta.
