# YazSes v2.6.0-dev.2 — Wave J flagship (developer preview)

**Pre-release · not published** (publish workflows are pinned to `v0.x`/`v1.x`; v2 dev tags do
not ship). **v1.4.1 remains the stable release.** Every feature is **OFF by default**.

Continues **Wave J** (`design/vision/v2-research/12-wave-j.md`) with the **flagship** feature and
the runtime formatting toggle:

## New since dev.1 (all off by default)

- **Confidence-Gated Re-Ask** (ADR-v2-077, *flagship*, `[reask]`) — instead of silently injecting
  a low-confidence guess, YazSes holds only the uncertain span and interactively resolves it: an
  A/B pick from a confusable set (their/there) or "say that word again", patching just the
  placeholder. `low_confidence_spans` (from the token log-probs faster-whisper already returns) +
  `confusion_set` + `parse_choice`. Distinct from Confidence Ink, which only *marks* — this
  *repairs* and closes the loop. Two independent research streams converged on it.
- **Verbatim ⇄ Autoformat Live Toggle** (ADR-v2-078, `[verbatim]`) — say "dictate verbatim" to
  freeze all ITN / voice-punctuation / reflow (so "one hundred dollars" types literally) and
  "resume formatting" to restore — mid-burst, no stop. The only runtime ITN on/off switch;
  essential for code identifiers, quotes, spoken passwords, legal capture.

`yazses features` now lists **89 capabilities**.

## Wave J remaining
Crowd-Proof Dictation (target-speaker extraction), Self-Learning Correction Dictionary, Voice
Fuzzy File Open, Voice Jump-to-Symbol, Recording Import (batch transcription), Spoken Shell
Pipeline Builder.

## Quality
1270 tests green across Linux × macOS × Windows on Python 3.11 and 3.12. Both new cores are
unit-tested to 100% with **no new dependency**; the default install and the v1 dictation path are
unchanged.
