João Pedro Battistella Nadas b092047ca6 feat: y/Y system clipboard, modal vim dropdowns
- y/Y/yy and visual y now route through vim's "+" register, which
  copies to the system clipboard via the synchronous document
  .execCommand("copy") path — no permission prompt.
- p/P also remapped to "+ register for symmetry; replaces my custom
  navigator.clipboard.readText() action. Browser may still show a
  permission chip on first paste; granting once makes it silent.
- Source / target / model dropdowns get modal vim-style nav:
  default is native typeahead, Esc → normal mode (accent border),
  j/k move selectedIndex, i and / return to search, blur resets.
  Disabled on coarse-pointer devices.

[Unreleased]

Added

  • Vim bindings in the input via CodeMirror 6 + @replit/codemirror-vim (loaded from esm.sh, no build step). Supports i/Esc, hjkl, word/line motions, dd/yy/p, undo/redo, / search, : command line. Auto-disabled on touch devices (detected via (pointer: coarse)) where modal editing fights the virtual keyboard.
  • Shift-H / Shift-L cycle focus across the page controls (source → target → model → editor → button) like Shift-Tab / Tab. Also overridden in vim normal mode (replacing vim's viewport-top/bottom default) so the same shortcut works to leave the editor.
  • y / Y / yy and visual-mode y in the editor now copy to the system clipboard via vim's + register (synchronous document.execCommand("copy") under the hood — no permission prompt).
  • p / P in vim normal mode paste from the system clipboard at / before the cursor via the same + register. The first paste may show a one-time browser permission chip; granting clipboard-read on the origin makes future calls silent.
  • Vim-style modal navigation on the From / To / Model dropdowns:
    • Default is native typeahead search (type letters to filter)
    • Esc enters normal mode; an accent-coloured border indicates this
    • In normal mode, j / k move selectedIndex down / up
    • i or / returns to search mode; blur also resets so the next focus starts in search
  • On page load, the model dropdown defaults to whichever model Ollama already has hot — skips the 5-15 s disk-reload pain on the first translation. After load it follows the user's manual selection.

Changed

  • Editor font-size pinned to 1rem to match the output pane (CodeMirror 6 ships smaller by default).

[0.1.0] - 2026-06-09

First release. Stateless translator UI that proxies streaming requests to Ollama on radagast.

Added

  • FastAPI backend with three endpoints:
    • GET /api/models — filtered (gemma,aya by default) list from Ollama's /api/tags
    • POST /api/translate — streams Ollama's NDJSON /api/generate response back to the browser
    • GET /api/loaded — proxies Ollama's /api/ps for the currently-loaded model
    • GET /healthz — for Kubernetes probes
  • Single-page UI:
    • Source / target / model dropdowns (30+ languages, "Auto-detect" source)
    • Token-by-token streaming into the output pane with a blinking caret
    • Live status line: spinner while waiting for first token, pulsing dot during streaming, elapsed time and token count
    • Glowing border on the output pane during streaming
    • Loaded-model indicator ( prefix in dropdown, "Hot: … — unloads in Xm" status line); refreshes on page load, on translation completion, and 500 ms after typing pauses
    • ⌘/Ctrl-Enter to translate from the input
    • Dark mode, inline SVG favicon (Star of Fëanor)
  • Dockerfile: two-stage uv build, slim Python 3.13 runtime
  • build.sh: multi-arch (amd64 + arm64) manual push to Scaleway, tags :latest, :<git-short-sha>, and :<pyproject-version>
  • Cluster deploy via the valinor repo at apps/finrod/ (bjw-s app-template, internal-only ingress at finrod.jpnadas.xyz)

Fixed

  • Lock against public PyPI explicitly — the workstation's global uv config had pointed uv.lock sources at the dexterenergy private artifact registry, which 401'd inside Docker
