Summary

AirTranslate can now be installed from source on another Mac and configured for audience-facing simultaneous interpretation. Presentation Quality mode starts with a translation-only, large two-line overlay, uses talk context and exact terminology, and waits for better clause boundaries before updating captions.

Design decisions

  • Presentation settings are locked during capture so one session cannot mix old and new terminology.
  • Glossary aliases correct likely recognition mistakes without replacing matching letters inside unrelated words.
  • Context and term length limits bound text sent to cloud engines.
  • Settings explain when OpenAI receives context and glossary text and when Meta receives recognition hints. Apple processing stays local.
  • The cross-Mac instructions verify an installer from an immutable commit, and the installer checks out that same pinned source revision.

Validation

  • swift build passed on the final PR head.
  • A compiled regression harness passed whole-term, non-cascading glossary, context-limit, and clause-timing checks against the production source file.
  • ./script/verify_packaging_permissions.sh passed.
  • ./Release/build_open_source_release.sh zip produced a valid signed app and both release ZIP names.
  • A deliberate failed-launch installer test restored the previous app byte-for-byte and removed the failed replacement.
  • Manual UI validation confirmed that Presentation Quality mode applies Translation, Large, 2 lines, Steady, Left, and Always On Top.
  • Compound Engineering code review completed in run 20260904-220812-fe630a05; all three actionable findings were fixed.
  • CodeRabbit's three findings were fixed, replied to, and resolved. CI is green on commit eb8cc61.
  • swift test remains blocked before execution because this Mac's selected Command Line Tools do not provide the Swift Testing module.

Post-Deploy Monitoring & Validation

  • Owner: presenter or maintainer running the rehearsal.
  • Window: the first 15 minutes of an English-to-Japanese rehearsal and the first live event.
  • Healthy signals: names and glossary terms remain exact, Japanese captions update by phrase, and the overlay stays readable without English text.
  • Failure signals: ordinary words are altered by short glossary terms, captions mix settings changed during a session, or the delay becomes disruptive.
  • Mitigation: stop capture, turn Presentation Quality mode off, remove the problematic glossary alias, and restart the session. The previous 1.7.1 build remains the rollback.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Presentation Quality Mode with persisted settings, glossary handling, caption integration, translation policies, and localized release documentation. It also adds release-only builds and a pinned, digest-verified local installation workflow.

Changes

Presentation Quality Mode

Layer / File(s) Summary
Quality context and glossary policy
Sources/AirTranslate/Models/TranslationQualityContext.swift, Tests/AirTranslateCoreTests/TranslationQualityContextTests.swift
Adds glossary parsing, bounded terminology replacement, enhanced translation instructions, and punctuation-sensitive debounce policies with tests.
Session settings and caption behavior
Sources/AirTranslate/Services/TranslationSessionStore.swift, Tests/AirTranslateCoreTests/FloatingCaptionStabilityTests.swift
Adds persisted presentation settings, floating-caption presets, transcription keywords, terminology adjustment, and presentation debounce handling.
OpenAI quality-context request wiring
Sources/AirTranslate/Services/OpenAITranslationService.swift
Passes the optional quality context through streaming and non-streaming requests and encodes enhanced instructions.
Settings interface and release documentation
Sources/AirTranslate/Views/SettingsView.swift, README*.md, Release/*.md
Exposes presentation mode, context, glossary, and cloud-data notices. Release documents describe the new mode and terminology controls.

Local release installation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release-only build mode
script/build_and_run.sh
Adds the --build-only release configuration and reports the built application without launching it.
Pinned and recoverable app installation
script/install_on_this_mac.sh, README.md
Pins source selection, verifies the checked-out revision and installer digest, and restores the previous app when installation or launch verification fails.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to eb8cc

This update adds presentation-focused captions and a pinned local installation workflow. No concrete current change risk remains identified for merge.

In `@README.md`:
- Line 257: Update the macOS installer command in the README to fetch the script
from an immutable commit or signed release instead of the mutable
distribution/cross-mac-installer branch, and verify its digest or signature
before piping it to bash.

In `@script/install_on_this_mac.sh`:
- Line 116: Update the installation state around SWAP_COMPLETE and
open_and_verify_app so cleanup restores BACKUP_PATH whenever launch verification
fails. Mark installation success only after verification succeeds, or
immediately for a successful --no-launch install; on failure, remove the new
APP_TARGET and restore the previous app from BACKUP_PATH.

In `@Sources/AirTranslate/Models/TranslationQualityContext.swift`:
- Around line 166-167: Update the trailing-boundary logic in
TranslationQualityContext so suffix matches are rejected whenever the character
adjacent to the matched term is alphanumeric, including terms ending in
punctuation such as C++. Remove the dependency on the source term’s last
character, and add a regression test covering C++20 remaining unchanged except
for an intended full-term match.
