…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.

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.

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 whenvault.destroy()runs on the main actor. When the save finishes,existingKey()returns nil andcreateKey()makes a new key. The save then writes the pre-delete snapshot back to disk. - Load:
loadArchive()can finish afterdeleteAll()and setrecords = loaded(line 128). The next save then persists those records. - Import:
importCotypistExportcan resume afterdeleteAll()and append the imported records (line 302). It then callsscheduleSave().
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, anddestroynever overlap. - Add a data generation counter. Increment it in
deleteAll(). - After every
awaitinloadArchive,scheduleSave, andimportCotypistExport, discard the result if the generation changed.

…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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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).

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.

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:
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.TypingHistoryPhrasePredictor(a word n-gram table, three words with a stricter two-word fallback) answers throughTypingHistoryPhraseEngine, 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:
TypingHistoryStorerecords 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.TypingHistoryScrubberredacts credential-shaped tokens (sk-,ghp_, JWTs, private key blocks, long mixed letter-digit runs) and caps records at 12k characters.TypingHistoryVaultseals the archive with AES-GCM under a random key in aThisDeviceOnlyKeychain item. A file that cannot be decrypted is reported, never silently replaced. Delete All removes both the file and the key.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.CotypistExportImporterreads a decrypted Cotypistuser_inputs.jsonand collapses Cotypist's repeated saves of the same field.On-device only, enforced in three places: the provider returns nothing for
.openAICompatible,SuggestionRequestFactorydrops examples for it, andSuggestionEngineRouterrefuses 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
The one failure is
AXTextGeometryResolverTests.test_resolveCaretRect_returnsRealGeometry_forNativeTextField, which reads live Accessibility geometry and fails the same way on unmodifiedmain(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.
