The pipeline never reads the flag — it injects on any non-empty hint. The hint flows in unescaped behind the shared-core anti-injection guardrail like the other system-prompt inputs. + +Two UI surfaces, each a collapsed `
` so the default path stays frictionless: the main modal ([src/ui/modal.ts](../src/ui/modal.ts) `renderContextSelector`, shown only when the active template has the flag; `contextHint`/`contextExpanded` instance state reset on template change, survives re-renders like `destinationExpanded`) and the reprocess-audio picker ([src/ui/template-picker.ts](../src/ui/template-picker.ts) `showContext`, which [src/main.ts](../src/main.ts) sets to `templates.some(t => t.enableContextHint)`; the typed value is forwarded to `runAudioFilePipeline` only when the picked template has the flag). Quick Record and the process-text command intentionally skip it. Value is per-invocation and ephemeral. CSS: `.rewrite-context-row` / `-summary` / `-body` / `-input` in [styles.css](../styles.css), mirroring the destination block. + ### Speaker identification (diarization) for recorded/long-form audio Shipped the opt-in, string-embed v1 shape (option 1 from the former item #4). New optional `TranscriptionConfig.diarize?: boolean` ([src/types.ts](../src/types.ts)); capability centralized in `transcriptionProviderSupportsDiarization(id)` ([src/transcription/index.ts](../src/transcription/index.ts)), true only for `assemblyai` / `deepgram` / `revai`. The settings tab ([src/settings/tab.ts](../src/settings/tab.ts)) renders an "Identify speakers" toggle in the per-profile transcription block, gated on that helper (setup card left untouched). Each capable adapter embeds `Speaker X:` labels into the returned transcript string, leaving the `transcribe(): Promise` interface and the pipeline unchanged: AssemblyAI sets `speaker_labels: true` and formats `utterances[]` (native letter labels); Deepgram adds `diarize=true` and groups per-word `speaker` indices via `formatDiarizedWords` (0-based bumped to `Speaker 1`); Rev.ai fetches the JSON transcript (`Accept: application/vnd.rev.transcript.v1.0+json`) and rebuilds labels from `monologues[]` via `formatMonologues` (0-based bumped to `Speaker 1`). Each adapter falls back to flat text when the labeled payload is missing, so toggling off is a clean no-op. Label survival is handled by a clause added to `DEFAULT_SHARED_CORE` ([src/shared-core.ts](../src/shared-core.ts)); the Podcast default template already tolerated both cases. Decision: keep provider-native labels (letters for AssemblyAI, 1-based integers for Deepgram/Rev.ai) rather than normalizing. Structured `{ speaker, text }[]` segments deferred until a consumer needs them. diff --git a/src/main.ts b/src/main.ts index 5ceef1b..2bf2eaa 100644 --- a/src/main.ts +++ b/src/main.ts @@ -375,8 +375,9 @@ export default class ReWritePlugin extends Plugin implements PipelineHost { templates: this.templates, defaultTemplateId: this.pickDefaultTemplateId(), previewText: `Audio: ${file.path}`, - onPick: (template) => { - void runAudioFilePipeline(this, template, file); + showContext: this.templates.some((t) => t.enableContextHint), + onPick: (template, contextHint) => { + void runAudioFilePipeline(this, template, file, template.enableContextHint ? contextHint : undefined); }, }).open(); } diff --git a/src/pipeline.ts b/src/pipeline.ts index 2c0504b..74925e9 100644 --- a/src/pipeline.ts +++ b/src/pipeline.ts @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ import { App, Notice } from 'obsidian'; import { DestinationOverride, EnvironmentProfile, GlobalSettings, NoteTemplate, PipelineHost } from './types'; -import { createTranscriptionProvider } from './transcription'; +import { createTranscriptionProvider, transcriptionProviderSupportsDiarization } from './transcription'; import { validateRecording } from './transcription/limits'; import { createLLMProvider } from './llm'; import { insertOutput, InsertResult } from './insert'; @@ -24,6 +24,10 @@ export interface PipelineParams { template: NoteTemplate; source: PipelineSource; destinationOverride?: DestinationOverride; + // Optional per-invocation background context (speakers, setting, subject) + // surfaced for templates with `enableContextHint`.
