SDK v1.66.1: spell check adorner, autocorrect, and Timer ambiguity fixes

SDK 1.66.0 → 1.66.1 | 6796be33
Details

Adds SpellCheckAdorner (wavy underlines for misspelled words in TextBox),

SpellCheckBehavior (attached behavior to enable spell check), autocorrect

service, and spell check rendering utilities. Integrates spell check into

RichTextEditor with debounced recheck and dictionary change handling.

Fixes Timer ambiguity (System.Timers vs System.Threading) in SpellCheckAdorner

and RichTextEditor.SpellCheck by fully qualifying System.Timers.Timer. Fixes

IsAttachedToVisualTree → GetVisualRoot() and GetTemplateChildren →

GetVisualDescendants for Avalonia 11.3.x compatibility.

SDK v1.66.0: add IAudioRecorderService + ITranscriptionService

SDK 1.65.1 → 1.66.0 | Desktop 1.65.8 → 1.65.9 | a2c66356
Details

Add IAudioRecorderService and ITranscriptionService interfaces to the SDK

Services namespace. These allow plugins to record audio and transcribe

speech-to-text without directly depending on Desktop internals.

AudioRecorderServiceAdapter wraps AudioRecorderService.Instance, translating

PropertyChanged events into DurationChanged. TranscriptionServiceAdapter

wraps WhisperService.Instance.TranscribeAudioFileAsync.

Both services are wired through PluginHost and PluginHostFactory, exposed

as nullable properties on IPluginHost for backward compatibility.

Desktop v1.65.9 for adapter wiring.

patch Desktop Shell

Duncan persona: warm directness, adaptive technical depth, honest unknowns

Details

Enriched the cloud system prompt with personality traits: honest but

empathetic tone, balanced verbosity, clean dry humor, neutral error

handling that pivots to solutions. Technical depth now adapts to the

user via memory context rather than assuming expertise level.

RAG search: cross-plugin diversity with query-based plugin boosting

Desktop 1.65.7 → 1.65.8 | 1d37a21c
Details

RAG search results were dominated by the active plugin's data, making

cross-plugin queries (e.g. asking about Notes from Tasks) return no

results from the mentioned plugin. Fix: fetch 3x candidates, then

apply plugin diversity via round-robin interleaving. When the user

mentions a specific plugin by name (e.g. "notes", "calendar"),

half the result slots are reserved for that plugin's data.

Fix intent actions not surfacing in RAG — use dedicated intent search

Desktop 1.65.6 → 1.65.7 | fbcbfd4f
Details

The root cause of the AI responding conversationally ("Shall I go ahead?"

"Creating those now!") without actually executing actions was that RAG

returned 0 intent_action chunks. Entity data (the user's actual tasks,

notes, etc.) crowded out intent_action chunks in the general semantic

search because task titles are closer to the query than "ACTION: Create

Task" descriptors.

Fix: BuildRagContextWithIntentsAsync now performs TWO parallel searches —

one general (for entity data + plugin context) and one specifically

filtered to intent_action entity type. Results are deduped and merged,

ensuring the AI always sees relevant available actions alongside the

user's data context.

Also fixed incorrect slot names in ActionFormatHeader for tasks.add_link

(was source_task_id/target_entity_id, corrected to task_id/target_id).

Desktop version 1.65.6 → 1.65.7.
