Package the warm-helper Parakeet Metal workflow into a native macOS app with dictation, history, snippets, export, and build scripts so it can be tested and shared outside the CLI. Made-with: Cursor

Replace AVCaptureSession-based mic capture with AVAudioEngine, which captures in the hardware's native format and normalizes offline via ImportedAudioDecoder. This eliminates per-chunk AVAudioConverter churn and format ambiguity that caused garbled transcriptions on short utterances. Temp capture files are cleaned up after normalization. Remove the snippets feature (trigger-phrase text expansion) since the Parakeet model's multilingual decoder produces unreliable results for short dictated phrases. Remove Snippet model, SnippetStore, sidebar page, management view, and all snippet wiring from TextPipeline and TranscriptStore. Add macOS app icon assets from Voxtral Realtime. Remove debug WAV dump code that was used during the recording quality investigation. Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Made-with: Cursor

Summary
ExecuWhisper, a native macOS app for on-device Parakeet transcription with manual recording and batch dictation flows.parakeet_helperpath so repeated dictation requests do not relaunch the model, reload weights, or pay cold-start latency on everyCtrl+Spacesession.Why the helper matters
