# YazSes v2.6.0-dev.5 — Wave J complete (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**.

Completes **Wave J** — the full 10-feature SoA round from
`design/vision/v2-research/12-wave-j.md` (ADRs `adr-v2-075..084`). Adds the final two pure cores:

## New since dev.4 (all off by default)

- **Recording Import** (ADR-v2-083, `[recimport]`) — batch-transcribe existing voice memos,
  lectures and meetings offline to `.txt`/`.srt`/`.vtt` with timestamps; your audio archive
  becomes searchable without the cloud. `merge_word_timestamps` (gap/length segmentation) +
  `write_srt` / `write_vtt` / `format_timestamp`. Distinct from live Meeting Scribe/Diarize
  (pre-recorded batch). The Parakeet/NeMo backend is deferred (faster-whisper is the zero-extra
  fallback).
- **Crowd-Proof Dictation** (ADR-v2-084, *experimental*, `[crowdproof]`) — continuously
  reconstruct your enrolled voice out of overlapping babble *before* STT, so dictation survives an
  open-plan office or café. The pure numpy plumbing — `frame_signal`, `apply_target_mask`,
  `overlap_add` (Hann-windowed, normalized) — ships now; the Conv-TasNet/SSM TSE model is deferred
  behind a `crowdproof` extra. A different mechanism than the Cocktail Filter (continuous
  reconstruction vs sub-second gating).

## Wave J — all 10 features
Phonetic Spelling, Voice Git Choreographer, Confidence-Gated Re-Ask (flagship), Verbatim⇄Autoformat
Toggle, Self-Learning Correction Dictionary, Voice Fuzzy File Open, Voice Jump-to-Symbol, Spoken
Shell Pipeline Builder, Recording Import, Crowd-Proof Dictation. `yazses features` now lists **95
capabilities**.

## Quality
1295 tests green across Linux × macOS × Windows on Python 3.11 and 3.12. Every Wave J pure core is
unit-tested to 100%; heavy models (Parakeet, TSE, the confidence head, EmbeddingGemma, NL2Bash SLM,
LSP feed) stay lazy behind optional extras. The default install and the v1 dictation path are
unchanged.
