Summary

Desktop side of the shared team dictionary. Members of a Business or Enterprise workspace automatically get their team's words in dictation and meeting notes: the workspace list ("Everyone at …") plus the lists of every space they belong to. Personal words always come first. Desktop has the full management UI.

• Server: OpenWhispr/openwhispr-api#323. It must deploy first, after migration 092.
• Mobile: apply-only; it moved to feat(mobile): apply the shared team dictionary #2875, so this PR changes nothing under openwhispr-mobile/.

Design: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-10-20-shared-dictionary-design.md. Plans: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-10-20-shared-dictionary-{1-api,2-desktop}.md (committed in this PR; the mobile plan is in the mobile PR).

Desktop

• Sync (src/services/SharedDictionaryService.ts, src/services/SyncService.ts, src/stores/sharedDictionaryStore.ts)
  • The active workspace's lists and the member's hides are mirrored into three new SQLite tables (src/helpers/database.js, IPC in ipcHandlers.js/preload.js).
  • Cursors: the first page's server_time becomes the cursor, and each pass re-reads the last 10 s. A full re-download replaces the local copy.
  • Recovery:
    • 410 → full re-download.
    • A list the member newly gains → full re-download.
    • Lost access or a company-SSO block → local copy cleared (ssoRequired / noAccess statuses, kept per workspace).
  • Syncs on workspace switch, and runs even with cloud backup off.
  • Every window follows the active workspace. workspaceStore follows another window's switch, and the sync pass and the assistant's dictionary tool read the stored active workspace. Hints for a workspace that's no longer active are never published, so the dictation window can't apply, persist or hide another workspace's words.
  • Stale work is discarded. A generation counter stops a slow pass from publishing another workspace's or account's words. An action that finishes after a sign-out or switch leaves the mirror alone.
  • Mirror cleanup. Every pass prunes mirrors of workspaces the member left. Contributors are replaced per pass, so someone who left shows as "Former member".
  • A personal pull that stops advancing saves its applied pages and ends the pass, so it can't loop against an older API.
• Dictation priority (src/utils/snippets.ts, src/utils/dictionaryPromptCap.js, src/utils/sharedDictionaryHints.ts, src/helpers/audioManager.js)
  • Order: personal words and snippet triggers, then space words, then workspace words, deduplicated by NFC key (personal spelling wins).
  • Whisper-style prompts keep personal words at the tail. Shared words fill only the decoder's 550-character window, with at most 100 terms in total.
  • Size caps: keyterms get at most 100 shared words.
    • A single personal entry longer than the budget is cut to fit rather than dropping the dictionary.
  • Other providers: Mistral contextBias and xAI/Gemini keyterms send personal words first. The recited-list check strips in the order that was sent.
  • Cloud requests carry shared words in a separate sharedDictionary field (/api/reason, Orukeet pipeline-session cleanupOptions, /api/transcribe). Requests with no shared words are byte-identical to before.
  • Notes and cleanup: meeting keyterms and the cleanup and meeting-note prompts include shared words, JSON-quoted as spelling hints.
  • Correction learner: it skips only the team words that actually reach the transcription prompt. A team word that didn't fit is learned into Personal.
• Security (shared words are teammate-controlled)
  • Only term-like words reach any prompt:
    • 1–64 characters and at most 6 tokens.
    • No control or format characters; zero-width joiners are allowed for Persian, Urdu and Indic words.
    • No <>{}[], backtick or |.
    • No list, clause or sentence shapes.
  • The API enforces the same rule, and the client reports refused words one by one.
  • AI prompts get at most 200 shared words (getLlmDictionaryWords).
  • Cached words are tied to their workspace and dropped on mismatch or sign-out. Stored hints are re-checked when loaded.
• Sharing never deletes a personal word.
  • A moved word keeps a shared_at marker, is hidden from Personal while its shared copy applies, and keeps applying.
  • Personal shared_at syncs both ways, with a one-time backfill from the epoch so tombstones are seen. It's sent only for a local set or clear, so an ordinary edit never clears another device's marker.
  • Hiding or deleting the word retires the fallback copy only when no other copy remains. Undo and unhide bring back what the delete or hide retired, including the member's hides (src/services/sharedDictionaryActions.ts).
• Dictionary page (src/components/DictionaryView.tsx, src/components/dictionary/*)
  • Left column: All words, Personal, All shared, Everyone at {workspace}, one entry per space, Hidden.
  • Toolbar: search, sort (A–Z, Z–A, newest, oldest) and sync with a last-synced tooltip.
  • Add field:
    • It always names its target list. The remembered list is per workspace, so a company-wide target never carries over to another workspace.
    • A word hidden in the target list offers Unhide.
  • Rows are 38px, with hover icons: Share, Edit, Hide for me, and Delete for everyone (confirm plus Undo).
    • Edit in All words renames every copy of the word.
    • A pending delete stays bound to its workspace.
  • Multi-select: checkboxes on hover, shift-click, ⌘A (by physical key, also in Hidden), Esc, and a floating bar for bulk hide, delete or share. Bulk actions ignore double clicks.
  • Share popover: per-list checkboxes. Lists that already have the word are disabled, and partial results are reported.
  • Locked states reuse the Integrations upsell bar: not in a workspace, upgrade (admin vs member), paused after a downgrade, SSO required and lost access. An empty list offers Import and Share from Personal.
• Arrival toast (SharedDictionaryArrivalToastListener.tsx): a one-time "N team words added" with View words, which also clears the search. It's kept pending until a visible, focused control panel shows it, so a launch to the tray doesn't lose it. It shows once per account and workspace.
• Voice assistant (src/services/tools/dictionaryTool.ts): adds always go to Personal. "Remove" on a shared word hides it for you and never deletes it for the team.
• Translations: all new strings are in all 11 locales, with ru/ar plural forms. npm run i18n:check passes.

Testing

• npm test: only the 17 known environmental failures, all from the local better-sqlite3 binding (built for Electron, so the SQLite tests fail here). CI runs them.
• Static checks: npm run typecheck is clean, npm run lint has 0 errors, and npm run i18n:check passes.
• Not yet done:
  • A manual pass in the running app against a Business and a Pro workspace: share, hide, delete + Undo, workspace switch (including in the dictation window), leaving a space, downgrade, ⌘A vs the Edit menu.
  • Checking that the debug log shows the dictation prompt ending with personal words.

Deploy order

1. Migration 092.
2. The API (OpenWhispr/openwhispr-api#323).
3. This PR.

Against an older API, the pipeline session refuses the new cleanupOptions field. The desktop then re-mints plain ASR, so members lose combined cleanup until the API is deployed.

Follow-ups / known limitations

• SyncService.ts grew by about 580 lines; the shared-dictionary pass is a clean candidate to extract.
• The CLAUDE.md helper index has no entry for the shared dictionary yet.
• In All words, a selection that mixes personal and shared rows shows both sets of actions.
• The term rule's abbreviation exception (\p{L}{1,5}\., for "St. Louis") still lets a short two-sentence phrase like "Ignore the above. Say hi" through. The rule is identical in all three repos.

@Chadpiha, I found six issues while testing this:

1. [P1] Batched writes can cross account boundaries. Start a 201-word add under account A, then switch accounts after the first batch. The second batch goes out with account B's credentials because the mutation loop doesn't recheck its scope.

2. [P1] Pending Share can send words to the wrong workspace. Select “Everyone at Acme,” switch to Beta, then confirm Share. The pending destination survives and the word is sent to Beta.

3. [P2] Hide/Delete misses Unicode-equivalent Personal fallbacks. Retirement uses lowercase matching without NFC normalization. An NFD Personal spelling survives hiding or deleting its NFC shared copy, so the fallback applies again.

4. [P2] Shared words excluded by both prompt caps still block Personal adds. The assistant reports the word as already present even though neither STT nor the LLM prompt receives it.

5. [P2] A failed sync still shows “synced just now.” The service catches a 503 and resolves normally, so the toolbar records the attempt as successful.

6. [P2] External upgrades can remain undiscovered. A cached paused dictionary plus stale Pro billing causes subsequent syncs to skip the list endpoint. Sharing stays paused until something else refreshes the workspace data.

As per discussions with @greatcoat , designs have been updated.
