Summary

  • Add Dictate to the text composer so speech becomes an editable draft.
  • Add Finish and Discard controls, recording status, and localized errors.
  • Reuse configured core transcription and the existing WAV fallback for audio compatibility.

Problem

Voice mode sends its transcript directly into a conversation. Writing a message by voice also needs a draft that the user can review and edit before sending.

Solution

Each chat runtime owns a MediaRecorder session. Finish stops capture and appends one final transcript through assistant-ui. Typed edits during recording and transcription remain in the draft.

Discard, Escape, thread changes, composer unmount, and switching to Voice mode cancel the session. Pending transcription replies are ignored after cancellation. Capture, recorder shutdown, and transcription have bounded deadlines.

The existing voice_status RPC confirms speech availability before the adapter is offered. The Dictate control uses a microphone icon; Voice mode uses a waveform icon and keeps its conversation flow.

Submission Checklist

  • Tests added for editable drafts, explicit send, cancellation, permission and device errors, capability gates, and WAV fallback.
  • Diff coverage ≥ 80%: frontend changed-line coverage is 98%, covering 329 of 333 measured lines.
  • Coverage matrix updated with feature 5.1.5.
  • Affected feature IDs listed under Related.
  • Existing networking dependencies reused; tests use fake capture and mock RPCs.
  • Release smoke checklist updated for desktop microphone grants and cancellation.
  • Linked issue closed through Closes Inline composer dictation via the shipped voice_* transcription (not Web Speech) #6490.

Impact

Chat dictation uses the speech provider selected in Voice settings. Audio follows the existing core RPC path. Microphone tracks are released when capture finishes or is discarded. The draft remains editable until the user sends it.

    Impact: the new browser spec passed its strict isolated TypeScript check.

Behavior Changes

  • Dictate appends a final transcript to an editable draft after Finish.
  • Discard cancels capture and invalidates a pending result.
  • Recording and transcription status stay visible while the draft can be edited.
  • Dictate appears after capture support and speech availability are confirmed.

Parity Contract

  • Voice mode retains its direct conversation send path.
  • Speech provider selection, credentials, audio dispatch, and WAV conversion use existing services.
  • Builds with voice disabled keep the Dictate control hidden.
  • Native desktop microphone permission prompts are covered by the release smoke checklist.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Dictate directly into the chat draft, keep editing while recording, and add the transcript to the draft when finished—without sending it automatically.
    • Discard dictation or cancel it with Escape, by changing threads or modes, or by leaving the composer. Recordings stop after one minute and are discarded.
    • Dictation controls and status messages are available in multiple languages.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of microphone permission and recording problems while preserving your draft.
    • Added a WAV retry when a recorded clip cannot be transcribed in its original format.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance on using draft dictation and how it differs from Voice mode.

e2e

  • Conclusion: Neutral
  • Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
  • Lane summary: The dictation feature is now covered end to end by Playwright specs that drive the running composer: editable draft with final insertion, Finish/Discard/Escape cancellation with a held transcript, thread switching with a pending STT result, capability hiding, permission denial, the full error-code matrix with successful retry, the recording timeout, and the native-to-WAV transcription fallback with real audio bytes. All earlier findings are resolved by these specs, including the element-helper rule and the WAV retry drive. One behaviour with an external surface (the Voice mode button cancelling an active dictation) is unit-tested but reached by no e2e spec; it is listed in the release smoke checklist, so this does not block.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a13f9

Dictation preserves explicit sending and prevents canceled transcripts from entering the draft. However, canceling a session does not stop pending audio submission. A connection change while audio is being prepared can allow an old recording to be submitted through the newly selected connection. Exposure requires user-initiated recording and a timing-dependent transition.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The new session scope fences microphone capture and transcript insertion, but not audio submission. After Finish starts transcription, cancellation or scope invalidation during asynchronous blob reading cannot prevent the subsequent RPC. Because that RPC resolves the active transport or connection at invocation rather than binding it to the recording's originating scope, an old clip can be submitted through a changed connection. Late-result suppression prevents draft contamination but does not protect this audio-transfer boundary.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified exposure concerns recorded audio from an affected user-initiated session and its selected core or speech provider, not arbitrary tenant data or elevated tool authority. Capture is limited to sixty seconds per session. Independent runtime adapters and outstanding canceled transcription work mean this is not a global single-request limit.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A timing-dependent disclosure path is Finish, asynchronous audio reading, scope cancellation or connection change, then RPC submission through the current connection. No attacker-triggered recording or authentication bypass was established. The concern is loss of originating-session authority at the audio-transfer boundary.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Microphone capture remains behind browser permission and an explicit control. Cancellation releases late permission grants, detaches recorder callbacks, and suppresses transcript delivery. The HTTP RPC path attaches the resolved bearer and has its own timeout, but exposes no session-provided cancellation signal.
  • observed — Uncancelable transcription was already used by Voice mode before this PR. Continuing an already-submitted request after cancellation is therefore an inherited transport limitation, not evidence that this PR added a new unauthenticated endpoint. The new concern is that composer session scoping does not extend to submission authority.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Replacing a session cancels its predecessor, repeated stop calls share one completion, and cancellation checks prevent a later WAV retry or transcript emission. These controls contain draft contamination even though submission inside the transcription helper remains outside session cleanup.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Carry session cancellation and originating-connection identity through audio preparation and RPC submission, checking authority immediately before transmission. Abort supported pending transports on cancellation, while documenting that audio already accepted by a provider cannot necessarily be recalled. Validate the delayed-encoding and connection-change transition explicitly.

app/src/providers/useComposerDictation.ts (1)

137-142: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Memoize the returned dictation state. The context value currently changes on every render.

useComposerDictation returns a new object literal on every render. AssistantUiRuntimeProvider passes this object directly to ComposerDictationContext.Provider at Lines 101-103 of app/src/providers/AssistantUiRuntimeProvider.tsx. The same provider also calls useOpenHumanExternalStore. That hook subscribes to per-thread streaming state such as streamingAssistantByThread, toolTimelineByThread and processingByThread, so the provider re-renders on each streamed token.

Each re-render creates a new context value. React then re-renders every useComposerDictationState consumer: Composer (including the Lexical input), ComposerAction, ComposerDictationControls and ComposerDictationStatus. Before this change, the children element identity let React skip re-rendering that subtree. Now the composer re-renders for every token during a running turn.

♻️ Proposed fix
   const cancel = useCallback(() => activeAdapter.current?.cancel(), []);
   // A render with a different scope must withdraw the old adapter immediately,
   // before effects run or a slow probe returns for the new connection/thread.
   const current = state?.scope === scope ? state : null;
-  return {
-    adapter: current?.adapter,
-    status: current?.status ?? (threadId && captureSupported ? 'checking' : 'unavailable'),
-    error: current?.error ?? null,
-    cancel,
-  };
+  const adapter = current?.adapter;
+  const status = current?.status ?? (threadId && captureSupported ? 'checking' : 'unavailable');
+  const error = current?.error ?? null;
+  return useMemo(() => ({ adapter, status, error, cancel }), [adapter, status, error, cancel]);

- Around line 79-123: Add a bounded, backoff-based retry for the `voice_status`
probe in the hook, limited to `voice-status-failed`; keep `stt-unavailable`
distinct and do not treat it as a transient error. Re-probe on relevant triggers
such as window focus or voice-settings-saved so Dictate can recover without a
scope change, and cancel retries or listeners when the hook is disposed or the
scope changes.

Wait for asynchronous encoding before asserting transcription

session.stop() triggers finalize(), which awaits encodeBlobToWav before calling transcribeWithFactory. The mocked encoder returns a resolved promise, but its continuation still runs in a later microtask, so transcribe has not necessarily been called when this assertion executes. This makes the test fail even though the adapter correctly starts transcription; await the stop promise or flush the async work before asserting the call.

Handle all dictation error states

ComposerDictationError also includes stt-unavailable and voice-status-failed, but neither is handled here. When the availability probe reports either condition, errorText remains null and the status component returns nothing because the status is unavailable, leaving the user with no explanation and no usable dictation control. Add localized messages for both error codes (or otherwise surface them) before falling through to the status rendering.

Use the repository’s E2E element helpers

This spec directly imports Playwright’s Locator and Page types and uses raw page.getByRole, page.getByTestId, and locator operations throughout. The repository rule requires E2E code to use app/test/e2e/helpers/element-helpers.ts rather than raw platform element types.

Await transcription status after encoding

Stopping the recorder starts asynchronous finalization, including blob encoding, before the adapter can publish the transcribing phase. fireEvent.click does not wait for that work, so getByRole('status') can run while the status is still recording (or before the status is rendered), causing this test to fail. Wait for the status asynchronously here, and apply the same pattern to the other immediate transcribing assertions in this file.

Cover every dictation error state

This test verifies only permission-denied before clearing the error. The adapter exposes other error codes such as microphone-unavailable, device-unavailable, device-in-use, recorder-failed, no-audio, no-speech, transcription-failed, voice-unavailable, and timed-out; a regression in the hook's error projection for any of those states would pass this suite. Parameterize this assertion over every DictationErrorCode, while keeping voice-unavailable's withdrawal behavior covered separately.

Drive the WAV-compatibility STT retry end to end

The adapter's behavioural fallback — a rejected native clip is re-encoded to portable PCM WAV and retried once against the same STT dispatch (dictationAdapter.ts, finalize) — is only exercised by Vitest unit tests that stub encodeBlobToWav and transcribeWithFactory. No Playwright test drives it: every scenario in chat-composer-dictation.spec.ts either resolves the STT route or denies permission, so a user whose provider rejects the native container never runs through the real app. A test could have the openhuman.voice_stt_dispatch route fail its first call (e.g. return an error result once), let the app convert and retry, and assert two dispatch calls with the second carrying a WAV mime type while the transcript still appends once. Until then this external surface ships verified only at unit level.

Wait for every transcription attempt to settle

The wav-only fixture deliberately causes one STT RPC to fail and the production code to retry with WAV, so a held transcription can produce two settled STT responses. Waiting for exactly 1 is racy: it can pass before the retry settles, or time out after the second response has already been consumed. Track the expected number of attempts (or wait until the observed settlement count matches the observed STT call count) before allowing assertions to continue.

Drive the WAV-compatibility STT retry end to end

Every test configures transcription to succeed, or uses a deferred promise that is resolved successfully. None makes the first transcription attempt reject and verifies that the adapter encodes the blob to WAV, invokes transcription again with that WAV payload, and appends the retry result. Since this fallback is compatibility-critical for unsupported recorder formats, add an integration-style unit test that exercises the rejection and second call before asserting the final draft.
