Conversation
Documents concrete KDE/KWin-coupled assumptions found in the overlay, tray, notification, and injection code, a test matrix (Hyprland, Sway, GNOME, Windows), a manual QA checklist, and a triage/fix workflow for issues found on non-KDE desktops.
Documents macOS feasibility grounded in the actual codebase: what already works (whisper Metal, cpal, arboard, WKWebView, tray, notifications, overlay winit fallback), the three code paths that must be written first (text injection, global hotkeys via rdev, MCP Unix-socket cfg), TCC permission requirements, and a GitHub Actions macos-14/macos-13 build job modeled on the existing release workflow.

Summary
VoxCtrl's UI was built and tuned against KDE Plasma (Wayland/X11). This adds a documented strategy for validating the UI on non-KDE environments — Hyprland and Windows in particular — and for triaging/fixing what breaks.
docs/cross_platform_ui_testing.mdsrc-tauri/src/overlay.rs), with no Waylandapp_idset for windowrule targeting and no wlroots-specific handling — the top concrete risk being that Hyprland tiles windows by default, which could break the floating HUD entirely. Also flags tray (SNI host availability), notifications (daemon availability), text injection (wtype/xdotool/clipboard), and Windows' known-weakSendKeysinjection path.wlr-layer-shellsurface) over WM-specific hacks, gate runtime differences viaXDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP/XDG_SESSION_TYPErather than new compile-time cfgs, and regression-test the full matrix before merging.docs/README.md's index (also synced to the GitHub wiki via the existingsync-wiki.ymlworkflow).No functional code changes — this is a planning/testing document only.
