 ### Added
+- **Mac MLX streaming ASR**: local dictation uses Qwen3-ASR via mlx-audio-swift with overlay partial preview, tail drain, vocabulary prompt, and polish-before-insert. / **Mac MLX 流式 ASR**：本地听写改用 mlx-audio-swift 的 Qwen3-ASR，支持浮层 partial 预览、尾部截断、词库 prompt 与润色后再插入。
+
+### Changed
+- **Mac local ASR engine**: removed Sherpa offline CLI; default model is Qwen3 MLX 0.6B 4-bit (1.7B optional download). / **Mac 本地 ASR 引擎**：移除 Sherpa offline CLI；默认模型改为 Qwen3 MLX 0.6B 4-bit（1.7B 可选下载）。
 - **Landing competitor matrix**: compare Typeless / Superwhisper / Openless / OSGKeyboard on open source, pricing, on-device ASR, BYOK, and platforms (incl. honest Windows gap). / **落地页竞品对照**：对比 Typeless / Superwhisper / Openless / OSGKeyboard 的开源、付费、本地识别、BYOK 与平台（含暂无 Windows）。
 - **Voluntary support tip**: Settings (top of the page) includes an optional ¥28 Consumable in-app tip (StoreKit 2). All features stay free — no paywall or unlock. / **自愿打赏**：设置页顶部新增可选 ¥28 消耗型应用内打赏（StoreKit 2）。全功能仍免费，无付费墙或功能解锁。
 - **iOS appearance preference**: Settings → Preferences adds System / Light / Dark (iPhone + iPad), matching the Mac control. / **iOS 外观偏好**：设置 → 偏好设置新增跟随系统 / 浅色 / 深色（iPhone 与 iPad），与 Mac 一致。

 - **Landing hero polish**: replace CSS device frames with the marketing composite; full-bleed pale-green hero wash (no side gaps / no radial gradient); Mac story shots sit on transparent chrome. / **落地页 Hero 抛光**：设备框改为营销合成图；首屏淡绿单色通栏（无两侧留白 / 无径向渐变）；Mac 故事截图去卡片底。
 
 ### Fixed
+- **Model download for China networks**: add the `hf-mirror.com` mirror as the mainland-China-first source (bypasses the flaky HF Xet backend), drop the dead ModelScope link, and correct the model file list; add automatic resume-on-drop retry with cross-mirror fallback and a manual "Download source" picker in Settings. / **国内网络模型下载**：新增 `hf-mirror.com` 镜像并在中国大陆优先（绕开不稳定的 HF Xet 后端），删除失效的 ModelScope 链接并修正模型文件清单；下载中断自动断点续传重试并在镜像间回退，设置里新增手动「下载源」选择。
 - **iPad sidebar brand mark**: use the template `OSGLogoWide` mark with accent tint so the logo stays visible in the split-view sidebar. / **iPad 侧栏品牌标**：改用可着色的 `OSGLogoWide`，保证分栏侧栏始终显示 logo。

+macOS local ASR links `MLXAudioSTT` from [Blaizzy/mlx-audio-swift](https://github.com/Blaizzy/mlx-audio-swift).
+
+Before `xcodegen generate` or opening the project, run:
+
+```bash
+./Scripts/ensure-mlx-audio-swift.sh
+```
+
+This clones the package (if missing) and applies OSG's `StreamingConfig.context` patch for vocabulary prompts.
+
+The clone lives at `ThirdParty/mlx-audio-swift/` (gitignored). SPM resolves mlx-audio-swift's own dependencies on first Mac build.

+
+### 13.1 依赖引入说明（给开发）
+
+「可以直接引入」= 在 `project.yml` 为 **仅 `OSGKeyboardMac` target** 添加 Swift Package：
+
+```yaml
+packages:
+  MLXAudio:
+    url: https://github.com/Blaizzy/mlx-audio-swift
+    from: "0.1.0"   # 或 pin 到具体 revision / OSG fork
+
+targets:
+  OSGKeyboardMac:
+    dependencies:
+      - package: MLXAudio
+        product: MLXAudioSTT
+```
+
+- **不需要**把整个仓库 copy 进 OSGKeyboard 源码树（除非 fork patch 暂无法 upstream）。
+- **需要** macOS + Xcode 16+ 本机构建；`xcodegen generate` 后 Xcode 会拉取并编译 MLX。
+- **模型权重**仍走现有 `LocalASRModelManager` 下载管线，不随 SPM 打包进 app。
+- **唯一前置条件**：确认 streaming API 支持 `context`（词库 prompt）；若无，fork 加 2 处 `buildPrompt` 改动即可。
+
+### 13.2 静音检测说明（给产品）
+
+把「用户是否在说话」想象成两道筛子：
+
+| 方案 | 产品语言 | 优点 | 缺点 |
+|------|----------|------|------|
+| **RMS 门控**（先做） | 听音量大小：太安静就不送给识别引擎 | 实现简单、几乎不增加包体、不拖慢首字 | 嘈杂环境可能把背景声当「在说话」 |
+| **Silero VAD**（备选） | 专门训练过的「人声探测器」，区分人声 vs 键盘/风扇声 | 静音误触发更少 | 多一个模型依赖、开发和评测成本更高 |
+
+**决策**：先用 RMS（成本低、能解决「按住不说话却喷词」的主痛点）；若内测发现办公室/咖啡厅误触发仍多，再加 Silero。
