Alt+V works again after login, user-site shadowing fix, full review (pkgrel 5) - #65
The repository still ships 1:4.1.0-3. On machines with a pip install --user package that drops a top-level utils.py in ~/.local (hermes-agent does), that version dies at start:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'utils.i18n'; 'utils' is not a package
The app and the Alt+V shortcut then do nothing. A local fix gets downgraded back to -3 by every update that allows downgrades (pamac). This PR brings that fix (ruscher#17) together with a second shortcut fix and a full review (ruscher#18).
Alt+V after login (KDE Plasma)
kglobalaccel loads every launcher in ~/.local/share/kglobalaccel/ at each login. Old copies of ours there, bigtts.desktop and tts-speak.desktop, both have X-KDE-Shortcuts=Alt+V and came back as separate components. getGlobalShortcutsByKey then lists three owners, and a cold Alt+V does not reach the launcher. The app now deletes them, but only when their [Desktop Entry]Exec program is biglinux-tts.
Contents
Startup: regular packages and python3 -s in every launcher and the tray helper, so ~/.local cannot shadow the app.
Settings:
"Restore defaults" resets the shared settings object. Before, History kept recording after it was switched off.
A corrupt settings.json is kept as .corrupt (never overwriting an earlier copy).
An unreadable file is never written over.
Tray: a missing tray host is reported, and the window is never hidden with no way back.
Xfce: the user's own bindings are kept and other commands are never overwritten.
Unknown desktops: they no longer claim a shortcut that nothing listens to.
X11: the xsel fallback reads CLIPBOARD.
Speech:
Pause, resume and stop are correct across chunks and in simultaneous mode, with no frozen or zombie processes.
Piper voices are listed with only the native engine.
Kokoro: mixed punctuation (Fim.!, "Pare!") no longer reaches koko as a punctuation-only piece.
History:
No duplicate cards.
Undo works after a reload.
The queue no longer replays a track.
A player leak is fixed, and the file manager call and export are async.
The legacy migration is race-free.
Export is atomic and keeps the destination file's mode and group.
The Music folder comes from GLib, so a missing xdg-user-dir no longer sends recordings to ~/Music.
espeak-ng fallback: a stuck process is stopped after 120 s, without counting time spent paused.
Packaging: dependencies match what the app runs. speech-dispatcher was removed (nothing uses it), xdg-utils and pkgconf were added, and paru/yay/pamac became optional for AUR Piper voices. The qdbus6 calls were replaced with direct D-Bus, so qt6-tools is not needed. A build in a clean Arch container (core/extra only) passes check(), installs and removes cleanly.
README: rewritten with screenshots, usage, troubleshooting, architecture diagrams and technical details.
i18n: the new strings are translated in all 30 catalogs, including pt-BR.
Checks
355 tests pass, as a user, as root and with LC_ALL=C (the builder's check() setting). ruff and clippy are clean, and sync_translations.py --check is OK.
makepkg builds with check() green.
Installed as 1:4.1.0-5 on Plasma 6.7.5 (Wayland), then:
Alt+V with the app closed: speech after about 2 s, and the stale launchers were removed.
A second Alt+V stops the reading.
Pause, resume and stop over MPRIS work.
RHVoice, espeak-ng, Piper and Kokoro each read a sentence.
pkgrel=5: above the repository's 3 and above local builds of 4.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added an audio playback-position label and clearer guidance on Kokoro voice controls, with translations across supported languages.
Improved audio queue handling and accessible player controls.
Added clearer feedback for History file access and audio exports.
Bug Fixes
Improved speech pause, resume, and stop behavior, including handling for stalled playback.
Made History loading, deletion, undo, and settings recovery more reliable.
Improved desktop shortcut handling and tray startup and shutdown.
Fixed text preparation around mixed punctuation.
Documentation
Reorganized and expanded the user, installation, and development guide.
hermes-agent puts a top-level utils.py in ~/.local/lib/python3.14/
site-packages. services/, ui/ and utils/ had no __init__.py: namespace
packages lose to any plain module on sys.path, so every start died with
"No module named 'utils.i18n'; 'utils' is not a package" (shortcut too).
- services/, ui/, utils/ are regular packages now.
- Launchers and the tray helper run python3 -s: the app uses only system
packages, nothing in ~/.local may shadow them.
- tests/test_module_shadowing.py reproduces it with a decoy user site.
Warnings: rows get their icon through set_row_icon (ActionRow.set_icon_name
is deprecated), GLibUnix.signal_add replaces GLib.unix_signal_add, and
pytest.ini filters only PyGObject's own deprecations: 0 warnings.
build: pkgrel 4
Shortcut (KDE): kglobalaccel loads every launcher in
~/.local/share/kglobalaccel/ at each login. Old copies of ours there
(bigtts.desktop, tts-speak.desktop, default Alt+V) came back as separate
components claiming the key, so a cold Alt+V failed until the app had run
once (its cleanUp only fixed memory). They are now deleted (only when their
Exec runs biglinux-tts), and an existing kglobalaccel copy of
biglinux-tts-speak.desktop follows the configured key.
Startup and desktop integration:
- Restore defaults resets the shared settings object in place: History
switches, Kokoro blend, playback mode and media player now really reset.
- A tray helper with no tray host (or that crashed) is reported; the app
drops the tray instead of hiding the window into nothing.
- Xfce: no longer deletes the user's own bindings to biglinux-tts, sets the
new binding before removing the old, never overwrites another command.
- Unknown desktops no longer claim a shortcut nobody listens to.
- X11: the xsel fallback reads the CLIPBOARD (it read PRIMARY twice).
- Queue mode: an item that processes to empty no longer stalls the queue.
- 10 s inactivity timeout: an Alt+V during shutdown is not lost.
- A corrupt/unreadable settings.json (or Infinity in it) no longer crashes;
it is kept as settings.json.corrupt and History stays off.
- No more libadwaita "gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme" warning at start.
Speech:
- Simultaneous mode: a paused reading is resumed before a new one starts
(it stayed SIGSTOP'd forever and every stop() blocked 0.5 s).
- Pause also freezes players that start later (next chunk), and works
while the voice is still loading.
- espeak-ng CLI fallback can be stopped; stop() reaps killed processes.
- Piper voices are listed with only the native engine; the Piper CLI
fallback applies the volume.
- Kokoro: mixed punctuation runs (Fim.! / "Pare!". / etc….) are collapsed
so koko never gets a punctuation-only piece; pitch/volume sliders are
insensitive (koko has no such options).
History:
- Cards no longer appear twice when the engine list changes.
- Undo works after a reload; no Gtk-WARNING removing a non-child.
- Queue mode does not replay a track and advances on Stop.
- Players remove their bus watch (leak); "Open file location" and "Save
audio as" no longer block the window; legacy migration is race-free.
- Accessible names for play/pause, stop and the seek bar.
New strings translated in every catalog.
- Kokoro: the volume slider stays usable (mute works); its tooltip says
only mute applies. A sentence ending in '"Pare!"' or '("Pare!".)' no
longer gets a period after the quote ('".' was a punctuation-only piece
for koko).
- Pitch/volume controls are refreshed after an automatic engine switch
(no voices, cancelled installation); the auto-switch log names both.
- An earlier settings.json.corrupt is never overwritten; a huge float in
settings falls back for that key only.
- Stale KDE launchers are matched on the Exec program, not on any word.
- Xfce: nothing is written when the binding list cannot be read; old
bindings of ours are dropped also when the key is already right.
- Tray helper waiting for a tray host obeys "quit" and EOF at once.
A read error (permissions, a folder in its place) is not corruption: the
file is left as it is and this run does not save over it. Bad UTF-8 is
still treated as corrupt and kept as a .corrupt copy.
Stale KDE launchers are matched on the [Desktop Entry] Exec only: a
desktop action that runs biglinux-tts does not make a launcher ours.
- espeak-ng CLI fallback: a hung process is stopped after 120 s of work,
so the reading and the queue go on; time spent paused is not counted.
- "Save audio as" copies to a temporary file next to the destination and
renames it: a failed or interrupted export never leaves a truncated
file, and keeps the source file's permissions.
- A pause that ended before any sound (voice still loading) no longer
counts against the heard time, so a short reading is not recorded as 0 s.
- "Save audio as": an existing file keeps its own permissions (a 0600 file
is never widened), and a symlinked destination is followed, not replaced.
- The first-sound bookkeeping takes the pause lock, so a resume() at that
instant cannot make a pause count as heard time.
- Replacing an existing file on export keeps its group when possible.
- The symlink export test now proves the target is refreshed.
- speech-dispatcher dropped: the app never uses it (rhvoice still pulls it
in); the old "python speechd module" note was obsolete.
- xdg-utils added: xdg-open is the History "Open file location" fallback.
- pkgconf in makedepends: alsa-sys finds alsa-lib through pkg-config.
- optdepends: paru/yay/pamac for Piper packages only in the AUR.
- No more qdbus6/qdbus (qt6-tools, never a dependency): the KDE shortcut
cleanup talks D-Bus through Gio and dbus-send.
- The History folder comes from GLib's XDG user dirs ("Músicas"), so it no
longer depends on the xdg-user-dir program.
…, architecture
Every claim checked against the code: Kokoro records with koko pipe -o
(not koko stream), current dependencies, test count, Piper voices are
packages (only Kokoro voices are downloads). Adds a troubleshooting
section (shortcut on KDE, user-site shadowing, downgrades, tray on GNOME,
debug log) and Mermaid diagrams of the components and request states.

Walkthrough
The pull request updates startup, desktop integration, speech processing, playback, and History behavior. It adds regression tests, updates Kokoro and audio-player translations, revises package metadata, and replaces the README with an expanded version 4.1.0 guide.
KDE launcher cleanup and updates, XFCE shortcut registration, X11 clipboard selection, and tray startup and exit handling change. The application also handles tray-helper loss and queued speech startup.
Speech pause, resume, stop, synthesis timeout, Piper fallback volume, voice discovery, and Kokoro punctuation processing change. Backend controls and row icons are updated. Translation catalogs add playback-position and Kokoro setting notices.
History and audio playback usr/share/biglinux/tts-biglinux/services/history_db.py, .../history_service.py, .../ui/history_view.py, .../ui/audio_player.py, tests/test_history_fixes.py
History migration, export, filtering, pending deletion, and undo handling change. Folder opening and audio export use asynchronous paths. Audio-player queue handling, cleanup, and accessible labels change.
Release documentation and packaging README.md, pkgbuild/PKGBUILD
The README becomes an expanded version 4.1.0 guide. The package release value and dependency declarations change.
The release is mergeable with minor follow-ups. On KDE, a user's own shortcut launcher for the app may be removed when the shortcut is registered. One new test depends on the machine's umask. Two README passages overstate deletion safety and the logout fix for stale KDE launchers. None of these blocks normal use of the app.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to fc4c8
The changes mostly improve startup isolation and recovery. A remaining privacy risk affects audio exports on shared storage: replacing an existing file can discard access restrictions that previously protected the recording.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: Atomic audio export replaces an existing destination with a new inode while preserving only mode bits and best-effort group ownership. Restrictive destination ACLs are not transferred, and a failed group restoration does not prevent publication. On shared storage, the replacement can therefore make a recording readable by local users previously excluded by the destination’s access policy. The base copied into the existing inode, retaining that policy. This is a conditional privacy regression, not evidence that a deployed recording has been exposed.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The identified export risk is bounded to recordings exported into affected filesystem destinations. It requires user action and a traversable location with access-policy differences; an unintended local reader needs only the resulting read access, not application privileges. The reviewed evidence does not establish a remote or cross-service attack path.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — Overwriting an ACL-restricted audio file can publish a replacement without the original restrictive ACL. Separately, failed group restoration leaves the temporary file’s group in place despite copied group-readable mode bits. These paths can widen readership. Counterevidence limits the concern: copying starts into a 0600 temporary file, ordinary destination mode bits are preserved, and tests explicitly cover a 0600 destination and symlink following.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
inferred — Disabling user-site imports narrows accidental or malicious module substitution through that directory. It does not sandbox speech engines or establish protection against code already executing with the same user’s authority.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — The reviewed speech transitions strengthen cancellation containment: pause-state updates are serialized, generation checks protect playback registration against stop, and espeak synthesis becomes a tracked process reachable by stop. Static interleaving analysis did not demonstrate a newly orphaned or unstoppable process; runtime concurrency validation remains absent.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Treat destination authorization metadata as part of the export transaction: preserve the applicable ACL and required group policy, or leave the original destination untouched when that policy cannot be retained.

Make the final permission assertion independent of the umask.
Line 465 creates dest with write_bytes(b"old"). The file gets its mode from the process umask. With umask 0o002, the mode is 0o664. With umask 0o077, the mode is 0o600.
export_audio keeps the permissions of an existing destination. Line 483 therefore expects 0o644 only when the umask is 0o022. The test fails under other umasks.
Set the destination mode explicitly before the export.

Preserve the primary br.com.biglinux.tts.desktop launcher.
Earlier versions generated this filename for the shortcut launcher, so it should not be removed from cleanup entirely. However, the packaged application entry uses Exec=biglinux-tts, while the historical generated shortcut used biglinux-tts-speak. A KDE copy of the packaged entry can therefore be the user's configured BigLinux TTS shortcut, and the current Exec check deletes it during every shortcut registration.
Restrict cleanup for this filename to the legacy biglinux-tts-speak executable:
