Schema v3: transcription attempts accumulate on AudioInfo (text, locale,
confidence, forced flag) — latest attempt is displayed, payload.text is
purely user writing, v2 notes migrate at read time. Editor shows the
transcript in its own live-updating section with insert-into-note; search
matches transcripts weighted by confidence. Watch recordings are now
deleted only on the phone's durable-ingest ack (transferUserInfo), closing
every phone-side loss window; failed sidecar writes unstage instead of
orphaning, and unreadable inbox recordings are surfaced in logs.

Watch recordings arrived on the phone as 28-byte header-only m4a files
(record() reported success but no audio was ever captured). Activate the
audio session via watchOS's async activate(options:), drop the .spokenAudio
mode experiment, match the phone recorder's proven AAC settings
(44.1 kHz / 48 kbps), and surface silent failures: an AVAudioRecorderDelegate
catches encode errors mid-take, and a stop-time guard detects a dead
header-only file, deletes it, and shows the failure on the watch instead of
shipping an unplayable note to the phone.

Replace the Notes list's searchable accessory with a Tab(role: .search)
— the separated magnifier at the trailing edge of the iOS 26 tab bar —
backed by a new SearchView over text, tags, and capture location. The
Notes list drops its search state and always shows the context shelf
plus all notes.

- TranscriptionSettings/Service route per-locale to SpeechTranscriber or
DictationTranscriber (union of both supported sets, speech preferred);
neutral-confidence ranking fallback keeps mixed-engine auto-pick working
- NotesListView: text + voice capture buttons above the list (glassProminent),
search moved to the iOS 26 toolbar search accessory (.minimize)
- Changelog entries for languages, capture buttons, search placement
- Schema v2: Note.AudioInfo, .m4a sidecar next to the note JSON in iCloud
- AudioRecorderService (iOS/macOS) + SpeechAnalyzer transcription pipeline
with enabled-language set and confidence-based auto-pick, re-transcribe menu
- Settings > Transcription > Languages with asset download/reserve handling
- watchOS app + accessory complication: one-button recorder, WCSession
transferFile to phone, WatchInbox staging, direct-upsert ingestion
- Player UI, transcription status chips, quick-capture mic in notes list
- Version 0.2, changelog + README updated
IndieAbout: About section in iOS Settings and macOS About window; LICENSE
switched to the portfolio-standard ISC text (reflowed for in-app rendering).
IndieBackup: files-only backup/restore of the iCloud container documents
('.notesbackup' document type on both platforms), SwiftData cache rebuilt
via SyncEngine.rebuildCache() after restore, monitors suspended during the
file swap, onOpenURL import with pre-launch queueing.
Release pipeline: Scripts/release.sh (ios|mac|all) archives and uploads via
xcodebuild + ASC API key; platform-partitioned build numbers (iOS even,
macOS odd) since both targets share one bundle ID and build sequence.
XcodeGen project (Notes / NotesMac / NotesTests), Swift 6 strict concurrency,
iCloud-document storage via IndieSync with a SwiftData cache, automatic
capture context (location, place, time zone, device) on every note,
context-based relevance ranking with a 'Right here, right now' shelf,
tags, search, and the square.and.pencil-on-red app icon.
