TypeWhisper v1.0.9

TypeWhisper 1.0.9 makes the latest workflow-provider plugins available to the
host and fixes several issues affecting dictation, long-running workflows, and
plugin management.

Highlights

• Added a configurable Filler Words plugin for removing filler words from
  transcribed text while preserving surrounding whitespace and punctuation.
• Added configurable US, UK, Canadian, and Australian English spelling for
  automatic language detection.
• Added dynamic Gemini model discovery with model-specific reasoning options
  and a more responsive default model.
• Made the workflow-provider plugins that require TypeWhisper 1.0.9 available
  in Discover, including Groq 1.0.6.

Reliability improvements

• Kept dictation hotkeys responsive and fixed low-level hook initialization on
  their dedicated message-loop thread.
• Unloaded local transcription models when switching providers, so inactive
  models no longer retain their resources.
• Brought the existing TypeWhisper window to the foreground when the app is
  launched a second time.
• Handled unavailable clipboard bitmap and file-drop formats without blocking
  dictation.
• Prevented long online transcription previews from stalling while preserving
  rolling preview cadence, punctuation, and unspaced CJK text.
• Increased output budgets for long workflow prompts and rejected explicitly
  truncated provider responses instead of returning incomplete text.
• Filtered high-confidence terminal “Thank you” hallucinations from Groq
  transcripts while preserving genuine dictated content.

Plugins and packaging

• Fixed the manual plugin folder shown by Microsoft Store builds so the path is
  visible to Explorer and the Open folder button reaches the real MSIX data
  directory.
• Made plugin registry publishing resilient to overlapping releases and kept
  Filler Words versioning independent from app releases.
• Added automated Windows UI screenshot capture and expanded release metadata
  validation for workflow-provider plugins.

Validation notes

• Verify stable Velopack channels win-x64 and win-arm64.
• Confirm x64 and ARM64 installers, portable ZIPs, full nupkg packages,
  RELEASES files, and JSON manifests are present without -daily suffixes.
• Validate both published portable ZIPs and record the Authenticode status of
  the published installers.
• Publish Microsoft Store package 1.0.9.0 and WinGet package 1.0.9
  separately from the GitHub release.
