YazSes v2.1.0-dev.4 — Wave E ship-now tier (developer preview)¶

Pre-release · not published (publish workflows are pinned to v0.x/v1.x; v2 dev tags do not ship). v1.4.1 remains the stable release. Every feature is OFF by default.

Opens Wave E — a fresh 2026 SoA round (10 candidate features distinct from the prior 24) in design/vision/v2-research/07-wave-e.md + design/adr/adr-v2-025..028. The first four, all on-device and pure-cored:

New features (all off by default)¶

• Hallucination Guard (ADR-v2-025, [hallucination]) — drops Whisper's fabricated text on silence/noise (the phantom "Thank you.", "please subscribe", looped phrases) before it's typed. Whole-transcript-only ghost blacklist + repetition-loop detector + a segment-signal gate. Wired into the decode path; conservative.
• Voice Snippets (ADR-v2-026, [snippets]) — say a trigger ("insert my signature") to type a stored template. Distinct from [macros] (keystrokes).
• Phonetic Corrector (ADR-v2-027, [phonetic]) — fixes mis-heard proper nouns by sound against your vocabulary ("Cuber Netties" → "Kubernetes"), skipping known/exact words.
• Multi-User Profiles (ADR-v2-028, [voiceprint] multi_profile) — on a shared machine, loads each enrolled speaker's own vocab/hotkey/cleanup from their voiceprint. Distinct from Voice Guard (N-way routing vs binary gate); reuses the encrypted d-vector.

yazses features now lists 39 capabilities (new: hallucination, snippets, phonetic, multiprofile).

Wave E backlog (designed next / hardware-gated)¶

Spoken Math→LaTeX, Semantic Endpointing, Spoken Code Mode, Wake-Word Activation, Vocal-Strain Guard, Voice Mouse Grid — several compose into a hands-free "zero-touch" accessibility bundle.

Quality¶

994 tests green across Linux × macOS × Windows on Python 3.11 and 3.12. Every new feature's pure core is unit-tested to 100%; heavy backends stay lazy behind optional extras, so the default install and the v1 dictation path are unchanged.
