Summary

Cotabby has no memory of past writing: every suggestion sees only the current field, clipboard, and screen. This adds an opt-in, on-device typing history so suggestions can follow how the user actually writes, plus an importer for Cotypist's history, so users switching from Cotypist keep what it learned.

History shapes suggestions in two ways:

  • Prompt examples. TypingHistoryIndex (an IDF-weighted inverted index; no embeddings or model calls) finds two short passages of similar past writing, boosted for the same app or site, and both renderers add them as reference text. The query is rounded to 8-word blocks (TypingHistoryQuery.stableText) so examples stay fixed while a few words are typed and the llama KV prefix stays reusable.
  • Phrase shortcuts. TypingHistoryPhrasePredictor (a word n-gram table, three words with a stricter two-word fallback) answers through TypingHistoryPhraseEngine, placed in front of the router, when history confidently knows how a phrase ends, for example "Best regards," followed by the user's name. It returns exact text and skips the model entirely. It is deliberately strict (at least 3 occurrences and a 60% share, 5 and 70% for the fallback, and stops at the first uncertain word), so a shortcut is either clearly right or absent.

Collection and storage:

  • TypingHistoryStore records the text of fields where Cotabby is active: never secure fields, apps that are disabled, excluded, or paused. It commits a field when focus leaves it and resumes the same record across brief AX "unsupported" blips.
  • TypingHistoryScrubber redacts credential-shaped tokens (sk-, ghp_, JWTs, private key blocks, long mixed letter-digit runs) and caps records at 12k characters.
  • TypingHistoryVault seals the archive with AES-GCM under a random key in a ThisDeviceOnly Keychain item. A file that cannot be decrypted is reported, never silently replaced. Delete All removes both the file and the key.
  • Only text before the caret is learned from (TypingHistoryRecord.typedLength): the rest of a field is often a quoted reply someone else wrote. On real data this was the difference between learning other people's names as sign-offs and learning the user's own.
  • CotypistExportImporter reads a decrypted Cotypist user_inputs.json and collapses Cotypist's repeated saves of the same field.

On-device only, enforced in three places: the provider returns nothing for .openAICompatible, SuggestionRequestFactory drops examples for it, and SuggestionEngineRouter refuses to send an endpoint request that still carries any. The router check matters because power-source switching can change the live engine after a request was built from the snapshot.

UI: Settings → Context gains a Typing History section with Use My Typing History and Record What I Type (both off by default), an excluded-apps list, Import Cotypist Export…, and Delete All….

Validation

xcodebuild test -workspace build/cotabby-dependencies/Cotabby.xcworkspace -scheme Cotabby \
  -destination 'platform=macOS' -derivedDataPath build/DerivedData CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO
Executed 2691 tests, with 14 tests skipped and 1 failure

The one failure is AXTextGeometryResolverTests.test_resolveCaretRect_returnsRealGeometry_forNativeTextField, which reads live Accessibility geometry and fails the same way on unmodified main (7724926) on this machine.

New tests (64): phrase predictor (12), index (6), scrubber (5), Cotypist importer (4), store (12: vault round trip with no plaintext on disk, missing key reported, preferences, import and dedupe, endpoint and off gating, persistence, recording incl. secure/excluded/paused and AX blips, Delete All), phrase engine (3), prompts and factory endpoint drop (4), and a router test that an endpoint request carrying history is withheld. Store tests use an in-memory key store, so they never touch the login Keychain.

Measured on a real 4,924-row Cotypist export in a Debug test build (Release not measured; Debug overstates Swift-side cost): import 1.5 s and index plus phrase build about 0.35 s, both off the main actor; an example lookup takes 2–4 ms on the main actor (cached per 8-word block); a phrase lookup is under 0.2 ms.

Not run: the model-backed test_reportEvalSuite and test_reportRecallSuite before/after. The feature is off by default, so default prompts are byte-identical (covered by test_basePromptWithoutExamplesIsUnchanged), but with history on, prompt content changes and should get those numbers before this is enabled for anyone. swiftlint --strict was also not run (not installed locally).

Risk / rollout notes

  • New on-disk data: Application Support/<app>/TypingHistory.sealed and a Keychain item <bundle id>.typing-history. Nothing is written until the user turns recording on or imports.
  • New UserDefaults keys: cotabbyTypingHistoryEnabled, cotabbyTypingHistoryRecordingEnabled, cotabbyTypingHistoryExcludedApps.
  • SuggestionRequest.historyExamples and SuggestionRequestFactory.buildRequest(historyExamples:) default to empty; SuggestionCoordinator(historyProvider:) defaults to nil, so existing call sites and rigs are unchanged.
  • The test host never opens the real archive (loadsArchive: false under XCTest).
  • This is independent of Let Accept Entire Suggestion be a double tap of the Accept Word key #840 and merges cleanly beside it.

…typist

Cotabby had no memory of past writing; every suggestion saw only the
current field. This adds a local, encrypted typing history that shapes
suggestions on the on-device engines.

- TypingHistoryStore records the text of fields where Cotabby is active
  (never secure fields, disabled or excluded apps, or while paused),
  scrubs secret-like tokens, and seals the archive with AES-GCM under a
  ThisDeviceOnly Keychain key (TypingHistoryVault). Delete All removes
  the file and the key.
- History is used two ways: TypingHistoryIndex adds two short passages
  of similar past writing to the prompt (refreshed per 8-word block so
  the llama KV prefix stays reusable), and TypingHistoryPhraseEngine
  answers from TypingHistoryPhrasePredictor when history is confident
  how a phrase ends, without calling the model.
- Only text before the caret is learned from; the rest of a field is
  often a quoted thread someone else wrote.
- A Cotypist user_inputs.json export can be imported, collapsing its
  repeated snapshots of the same field.
- On-device only: the provider returns nothing for the endpoint engine,
  the request factory drops examples for it, and the router refuses any
  request that still carries them (power-source switching can change
  the live engine after a request is built).
- Settings -> Context gains a Typing History section; both switches are
  off by default.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds optional Typing History. It records eligible text in an encrypted archive, supports Cotypist imports, and uses stored writing for local passage examples and phrase completions. New settings control recording, history use, app exclusions, importing, and deletion.

Changes

Typing History

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capture, scrubbing, storage, and import
Cotabby/Models/History/*, Cotabby/Services/History/*, Cotabby/Support/History/TypingHistoryScrubber.swift, Cotabby/Support/History/CotypistExportImporter.swift, CotabbyTests/Services/History/*, CotabbyTests/Support/History/CotypistExportImporterTests.swift, CotabbyTests/Support/History/TypingHistoryScrubberTests.swift
The store records eligible focus text, scrubs and limits retained content, and saves an AES-GCM-encrypted archive using a Keychain key. It also imports and deduplicates Cotypist exports. Tests cover recording eligibility, encryption, importing, scrubbing, and deletion.
History retrieval and suggestion generation
Cotabby/Support/History/TypingHistoryIndex.swift, Cotabby/Support/History/TypingHistoryPhrasePredictor.swift, Cotabby/Services/History/TypingHistoryStore.swift, Cotabby/Services/Runtime/*, Cotabby/Models/Suggestion/*, Cotabby/App/Coordinators/Suggestion/*, Cotabby/Support/Prompting/*, Cotabby/Support/Suggestion/Request/SuggestionRequestFactory.swift, CotabbyTests/Support/History/TypingHistoryIndexTests.swift, CotabbyTests/Support/History/TypingHistoryPhrasePredictorTests.swift, CotabbyTests/Services/Runtime/*
The store provides ranked passages and phrase continuations to suggestion requests. Local prompt renderers include supplied examples, and the phrase engine can return a history-based continuation. The request factory removes examples for OpenAI-compatible requests, and the router withholds any endpoint request that still contains them.
App lifecycle and settings
Cotabby/App/Core/*, Cotabby/App/Coordinators/SettingsCoordinator.swift, Cotabby/UI/Settings/*, CotabbyTests/Services/History/TypingHistoryStoreTests.swift
The app supplies focus snapshots to the store subject to its recording gates, flushes history at termination, and passes the store to Settings. The Context pane exposes history and recording toggles, app exclusions, import, and Delete All.
Project registration and documentation
Cotabby.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj, ARCHITECTURE.md, SOURCE_LAYOUT.md
The Xcode project registers the new production and test sources. The documentation describes the history behavior and source-tree groups.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 68f9f

If deleting the archive fails, Settings can show zero entries even though the history remains on disk and returns after restart. Surface the failure and preserve a way to retry before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 68f9f

Collection is opt-in and direct remote use of stored writing is blocked. However, a failed deletion can leave recoverable writing behind while the interface shows no entries and prevents another deletion attempt.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · observed: Delete All clears the visible history before durable destruction succeeds. If archive removal fails, the encryption key is not deleted, the interface shows zero entries without a deletion error, and retry is disabled. A later successful load can restore the retained writing, violating the newly introduced deletion promise.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — The deletion failure affects the application's local archive, which can contain up to 20,000 records capped at 12,000 characters each. Retrieval pools writing across applications and sites: matching provenance boosts ranking but does not restrict results, and phrase prediction has no application or domain partition.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — With existing saved history, an archive-removal error leaves both ciphertext and its usable key behind. Because deletion has already cleared the displayed count and only logs failure, the user can believe erasure completed while a later load recovers the writing. This requires a local cleanup failure, not remote request access; no exploit execution or actual disclosure was demonstrated.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Direct history use is denied for the endpoint at the history provider and request factory. The final router also withholds stale history-bearing requests after live engine switching, and endpoint continuation prefetch is disabled. These controls protect the dedicated history path, not ordinary current-field text after a user has incorporated a suggestion.
  • observed — Capture excludes secure fields, terminals, excluded applications, and newly changed text from disabled or paused contexts. Credential-shaped tokens are redacted, but ordinary prose and names deliberately survive; scrubbing is not a general confidentiality classifier.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — An unreadable archive pauses recording and import to avoid overwriting retained data. However, Delete All is disabled when the record count is zero, so this protective state does not provide an interface recovery action for the unreadable archive.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Represent erasure as an explicit recoverable transition: expose file and key cleanup failures, retain a retry action independently of record count, and verify that success is shown only after the promised durable cleanup completes.
  • proposed — Consider an optional application- or site-scoped personalization mode and explicit disclosure that recording exclusions do not partition previously stored writing. This is privacy hardening for intentional pooled personalization, not a verified unauthorized-disclosure finding.

P1 security Split Credentials Escape Redaction If the caret sits inside a credential such as an sk- key, scrubbing each side separately can leave both halves below the pattern's minimum length. Joining them then stores the intact credential in typing history. Scrub across the caret boundary while retaining the position that separates typed text. How this was verified: Recording and import both pass caret-separated text to this function, which joins the independently scrubbed halves.

P1 Quitting Creates History Storage Normal termination calls flush() even when the user has never recorded or imported anything. Saving the empty records still creates a sealed file and Keychain key, contrary to the opt-in storage behavior. Quitting after Delete All recreates them as well.

P1 security Exclusion Retains Recorded Text If the five-second save has already copied the active field into records, excluding that app clears only activeRecording. The field's text remains in memory and can be saved again, despite the exclusion taking effect mid-field. The materialized record also needs to be removed. How this was verified: Background saving adds the active field to records, while this exclusion path only clears the active and last-finished references.

P2 Cached Examples Become Self-Echoes The cache key stays the same while the user types within an eight-word query block, but the index uses the growing field text to exclude passages from that same document. A passage cached earlier can therefore keep appearing after the field contains it, making suggestions more likely to echo the user's draft.

94-104: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Create the DateFormatters once instead of for every timestamp.

parseDate builds up to four DateFormatter instances for each call. It is called twice per row. Creating a DateFormatter is expensive, so a large export does hundreds of thousands of allocations. This slows the import the user is waiting on. Keep the formatters in a static array, or create them once per records(fromExport:) call.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Delete All does not stop vault work that is already running, so deleted history can come back.

deleteAll() cancels saveTask (line 316). Cancelling saveTask does not cancel the Task.detached it is awaiting (line 161), because detached tasks do not inherit cancellation. Three paths can undo Delete All:

  • Save: a detached vault.save(snapshot) can still be running when vault.destroy() runs on the main actor. When the save finishes, existingKey() returns nil and createKey() makes a new key. The save then writes the pre-delete snapshot back to disk.
  • Load: loadArchive() can finish after deleteAll() and set records = loaded (line 128). The next save then persists those records.
  • Import: importCotypistExport can resume after deleteAll() and append the imported records (line 302). It then calls scheduleSave().

flush() and the debounced saves can also run vault.save at the same time on different threads. If an older snapshot finishes last, the newer snapshot is overwritten.

The user explicitly deleted this data, and it can reappear on disk.

Fix:

  • Serialize all vault I/O through one actor, so save, load, and destroy never overlap.
  • Add a data generation counter. Increment it in deleteAll().
  • After every await in loadArchive, scheduleSave, and importCotypistExport, discard the result if the generation changed.
Sketch
+    private var dataGeneration = 0
@@ func loadArchive() async {
-        let vault = vault
+        let vault = vault
+        let generation = dataGeneration
         do {
             let loaded = try await Task.detached(priority: .utility) { try vault.load() }.value
+            guard generation == dataGeneration else { return }
             records = loaded
@@ func importCotypistExport(from url: URL) async {
+        let generation = dataGeneration
         do {
             let imported = try await Task.detached(priority: .userInitiated) { ... }.value
+            guard generation == dataGeneration else { return }
@@ func deleteAll() {
         saveTask?.cancel()
+        dataGeneration += 1

Also route vault.save/vault.destroy through a single serial actor and check dataGeneration before writing.

Update TypingHistoryStore’s deleteAll, loadArchive, scheduleSave, and
importCotypistExport flows to invalidate in-flight work with a data-generation
counter, checking it after each await before applying results or writing. Route
vault load, save, and destroy operations through one serial actor so they cannot
overlap or allow stale snapshots to overwrite newer data.

…ls, prompt quotes

- Delete All can no longer be undone by work already in flight. Writes and
  deletes go through TypingHistoryWriter (one lock; a delete raises a
  generation so saves captured earlier are skipped, and a save sequence
  stops an older snapshot from overwriting a newer one). A load or an
  import that finishes after Delete All discards its result.
- Returning to a field continues its record instead of duplicating it:
  the field key no longer includes the focus sequence, and a returning
  field resumes only when its text still starts the same way, so a
  reused AX identifier cannot overwrite another field's record.
- Terminal fields (terminal apps and integrated terminals) are never
  recorded, and the settings gate is evaluated only when text changed.
- The history prompt section is all or nothing, so budget trimming can
  never leave an unclosed quote before the caret text.
- Delete All is disabled while an import runs.
- Cotypist's "unknown.bundle" placeholder maps to the unknown app.

- perAppBehavior(forBundleIdentifier:) normalizes the identifier the way
  updatePerAppBehavior does, so the UI always reads what was stored.
- The Apps list hides both "unknown" placeholders, including Cotypist's
  "unknown.bundle" in records imported before the importer normalized it.
- Per-app delete clears the app's recently finished fields too.
- Brings in the typing-history fixes from FuJacob#841 (Delete All races).

P1 Different Fields Overwrite History When a different field reuses an Accessibility element identifier and starts with the same opening as a recently recorded field, this check resumes the old record. Finishing the new field then replaces the earlier writing, or deletes it if the new text is under 20 characters. Accessibility element identifiers can be recycled, so a matching opening does not establish that this is the same document.

Do not clear history until Delete All succeeds.

deleteAll() clears recordCount before writer.destroy(...). If archive removal fails, TypingHistoryVault.destroy() leaves the archive and key, while the catch only logs the error. Settings then shows 0 entries stored, disables Delete All, and shows no error. The retained history returns on restart.

Keep the in-memory state until destruction succeeds. Add a deletion-specific message so the user can retry.
