Summary

  • Closes The same word is stored several times with paraphrased meanings #7
  • WordProposal.key is now language|normalizedLemma (strip leading articles, NFC); paraphrased meanings no longer create duplicate glossary rows
  • Legacy language|lemma|meaning hidden-word entries still match and are canonicalized on archive decode
  • Assessment prompt asks the model to reuse a stable sense for the same lemma
  • Twin Core change on Android

Test plan

  • swift test --package-path apps/ios --filter 'LanguageTests|LearningTests' (54 passed)
  • python3 scripts/check_cross_platform.py
  • Android EvidenceTest — matching test added; local JDK not available here

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved vocabulary grouping so article variations and paraphrased meanings are combined into a single word.
    • Hidden vocabulary remains reliably excluded, including entries saved in the previous format.
    • Stabilized meaning selection for repeated vocabulary items to prevent duplicate entries.
    • Standardized vocabulary identifiers across Android and iOS for more consistent learning data.
    • Preserved existing hidden-word preferences while converting older entries to the current format.

Word rows for "a version" / "version" with different English senses
collapsed into one entry. Legacy hidden-word keys still match after
archive decode, and assessment prompts ask for stable senses.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Android and iOS now key words by normalized language and lemma instead of meaning text. They migrate legacy hidden-word entries, use normalized hidden matching during projection, update teaching guidance, and add regression coverage.

Vocabulary identity normalization

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #7 requires one identity for paraphrased meanings and article variants, archive compatibility, stable assessment senses, and matching Android behavior. WordProposal.key uses language|normalizedLemma on iOS and Android. Archive.decode and ArchiveCodec.decode canonicalize legacy hidden-word keys. LearningEngine.project aggregates legacy and current observations under the canonical key, and tests cover the a version/version case on both platforms. However, the assessment prompt receives no existing sense list, and WordProposal has no distinct-sense marker. All meanings for one normalized lemma therefore collapse into one state, with the last observation providing the displayed meaning. The implementation does not satisfy the issue direction to reuse supplied senses or preserve model-marked distinct senses.

Resolution

Add one complete sense-handling path on iOS and Android. Either pass existing learner senses into both assessment prompts and require the model to select one, or add an explicit model-produced distinct-sense marker and include it in aggregation and identity. Preserve the strongest evidence for each resulting sense. Add tests for distinct senses and legacy archive observations on both platforms.

Preserve distinct senses before using the normalized lemma as the complete key.

The new identity merges all senses for one language and lemma. Financial and river senses of bank will share evidence, while projection stores only the most recent meaning.

Keep Norwegian å in verb lemmas.

Both normalizedLemma implementations remove "å " as if it were an article. Norwegian guidance requires infinitive lemmas such as "å gå". Therefore, "å gå" and "gå" both produce the key nb|gå.

Both LearningEngine.project implementations group evidence by this key and use the latest proposal for the displayed lemma, meaning, form, and quote. A reachable assessment can therefore merge these distinct entries. The same key is used for hidden-word checks, so hiding one entry can hide both.

Remove "å " from the generic article list in apps/android/app/src/main/java/chat/mural/core/Models.kt and apps/ios/Core/Models.swift. Add a regression test that preserves nb|å gå while still collapsing ordinary article variants.

Reuse a stable sense only when the lemma and sense match.

Both assessment prompts currently tell the model to reuse one stable sense for the same lemma. This can assign one glossary meaning to distinct uses of a repeated lemma, such as financial and river “bank.” Update both prompts to preserve distinct senses without changing vocabulary identity or projection.

I opened #7 and had a branch for it in flight when this went up, so I read the diff against what I had run into. Same identity model here — language|normalised lemma, keys recomputed at projection, no archive migration — and it fixes the reported case. Concrete findings, most impactful first:

1. CI: the Android job fails on UnicodeEquivalenceTest.composedAndDecomposedLemmasShareOneVocabularyKey (run). It still expects the old three-segment key fr|café|coffee; with this change the key is fr|café. (swift-core also fails, but in VoiceConnectionRecoveryTests, which looks unrelated to this diff.)

2. One global article list is applied to every language (Models.kt:92, Models.swift:96). Because the list is not scoped by language, entries that are articles in one language strip real words in another. Running normalizedLemma as written:

  • en: as wellwell, en routeroute, die hardhard
  • nb: i dagdag
  • es: a vecesveces
  • fr: et puispuis

Each of those merges two different words into one entry, which is the same class of bug the issue is about, in the other direction. Scoping the list per language (a field on LanguageModule next to lemmaGuidance) avoids it; that also lets each language own its elisions and partitives (un', du, de la, unos/unas, uns/umas).

3. NFC is applied before lowercased() / lowercase(). Casing does not preserve normalisation form, so e.g. lowercases to while ǰ stays composed; Kotlin then produces two keys for canonically equivalent lemmas, and Swift's equality hides the gap. Composing after lowercasing fixes it on both sides.

4. canonicalHiddenKey re-normalises ids that are already normalised (Models.kt:118, Models.swift:119), and Archive.decode rewrites preferences.hiddenWords with it on every load. Article stripping is not idempotent (um a uma umum), so an id the app itself produced can drift to a different word after a decode round-trip. Only the legacy three-segment form needs the conversion; two-segment ids can be used as stored, which also avoids persisting a rewrite without a schema bump. Related: the fixture's hidden entry was changed to en|soup, so the shared fixture no longer exercises a legacy hidden key on either platform.

5. Whitespace: trim() only touches the ends, so look after and look after remain two keys, and Kotlin's trim() does not treat U+0085 as whitespace while Swift's Character.isWhitespace does. Collapsing Unicode whitespace before stripping keeps both cores in step.

6. The prompt sentence asking the model to reuse one stable sense per lemma is a good addition on top of the key change; it keeps the displayed meaning from flipping between paraphrases.

For reference, desdelinux/mural@fix/7-duplicate-word-senses (compare) is the branch I had: per-language lemmaPrefixes, NFC after lowercasing, legacy-only hidden-key conversion without touching persisted data, a duplicate-"version" session in the shared fixture, and per-language key tests on both platforms (Android 346 unit tests + lint green; iOS Core 86 tests green on a Linux Swift toolchain, the CryptoKit/CoreFoundation-only files excluded there). Happy for any of it to be cherry-picked here, or to open it as a PR if that is easier to compare — whichever you prefer.

Impact on a seeded archive with four "version" observations (captured on the API 35 emulator with the equivalent change from that branch; the behaviour on this PR's key should be the same for this case):

Keying words by lemma already merges paraphrased meanings, but the
meaning shown for a word is the one from its latest observation, so it
could still flip wording between conversations. The assessment prompt
now asks the model to reuse one stable sense for the same lemma and not
to vary articles, on iOS and Android alike. Sentence adopted from Chuloo#64.
