- Add FlowKeepAliveMode (Dynamic Island vs PiP) with iCloud sync
- Settings: keep-alive picker; inactivity timeout only for Live Activity
- PiP: waveform sample-buffer controller, mic released between utterances
- PiP sessions have no idle expiry; user closing PiP ends the session
- FlowSessionManager branches hostReady, session start, and utterance paths
- UIBackgroundModes picture-in-picture; bilingual strings and tests

Use compliant permission prompts, align cloud ASR privacy disclosures, and default Flow sessions to a shorter inactivity window for safer resubmission.
Fix cold-start overlay recursion that overflowed the main-thread stack when
recording began while the ready overlay was still up; also remove temporary
on-screen Flow DEBUG panels after the orange-mic investigation, and land the
macOS overlay/catalog/layout polish plus related Flow recovery hardening.
Introduce a standalone macOS menu-bar app (OSGKeyboardMac) that reuses the
platform-agnostic OSGKeyboardShared core: record -> cloud/local ASR -> polish
-> insert. Local mode uses Qwen3-ASR via mlx-swift-asr (macOS 15+, Apple
Silicon); iOS targets stay zero-SPM.
Harden iCloud sync for multi-device correctness:
- Per-field settings merge (appSettings.v2) so concurrent edits no longer
clobber each other's unrelated fields.
- Per-device usage statistics (G-Counter) that sum instead of max().
- Tombstoned dictionary/history merge so deletes propagate and entries can't
resurrect.
- API keys replicate via iCloud Keychain, never iCloud KVS JSON; pulling a
legacy blob without key fields no longer wipes local Keychain entries.
- Add a low-risk "Sync Now" action in Settings.
Fix Flow keyboard mic state: stay orange until the host publishes a real ready
contract, share a single MicVoiceAvailability gate, and self-heal stale
cross-process heartbeat jitter instead of getting stuck.
Extract shared storage (SpeechHistoryStore/UsageStatisticsStore,
ConfigurationStore) into OSGKeyboardShared and add tests for the new
sync/merge logic.
Mirror the personal dictionary through iCloud Key-Value Store with
deterministic merge rules, main-app-only sync UI, and App Group as the
keyboard runtime cache. Add cloud-engine ASR with dictionary bias and
expand the bundled custom language model lexicon.
Reduce perceived latency from key release to final text:
- Adaptive chunking: 2.5s first chunk + 5s follow-ups so short
utterances start on-device recognition while still recording.
- Session-level ASR warmup and audio-format cache reuse to remove
per-utterance cold-start of SpeechAnalyzer.
- Mirror live pipelined partials to the keyboard transcript line via
a new flow.transcriptionPartial App Group key + Darwin ping.
Also commits the accumulated custom language model, Flow session,
keyboard extension restructure, and Xiaomi MiMo provider work in
progress on this branch.
