Move more host tooling to Nix

fix(systemd,scripts): unhardcode /usr/bin paths for nix-migrated tools

2026-06-05T10:05:58Z

The chezmoi-owned user units and ~/.local/bin wrapper scripts called the migrated tools by absolute /usr/bin/ path. After the move to nix, those binaries live under ~/.nix-profile/bin (no /usr/bin alias). systemd user units: drop the /usr/bin/ prefix on cliphist-{text,image} (wl-paste), inhibridge, swayidle, swayrd, waybar, and the inner wob in wob.service (outer /usr/bin/sh stays, sh is system). systemd resolves bare names through the unit's inherited PATH, which includes ~/.nix-profile/bin via hm-session-vars. dictate: default_model now points at ~/.nix-profile/share/whisper-cpp-models/ggml-base.bin (overridable via $WHISPER_MODEL). Header rewritten to mention nix instead of AUR. yt-dlp / streamlink wrappers: pass $HOME/.nix-profile/bin/ to _sandbox-net-parser so the bwrap-sandboxed binary is resolved explicitly (the wrappers shadow PATH lookup inside their own ~/.local/bin so re-entry would loop).

style: apply formatter drift across repo

2026-05-13T12:43:32Z

Pre-existing whitespace/style drift caught by `just check`. Touch nothing semantic — pure formatter output (shfmt -i 2 -ci -s, ruff, prettier, taplo). Excludes dot_config/clangd/config.yaml whose manual indentation is intentionally preserved.

perf(dictate): switch default model to base for ~5x speedup

2026-05-13T12:43:23Z

large-v3-turbo-q5_0 ran ~1-2x realtime on the T490's CPU, making push-to-talk feel sluggish. The base multilingual model is ~142 MB (vs 547 MB) and runs ~7-10x realtime, dropping perceived latency on short utterances from a few seconds to near-instant. Quality on short EN/PT dictation remains usable; bump WHISPER_MODEL to small or large-v3-turbo if accuracy matters more than latency.

feat(sway): add dictate (whisper.cpp) and ocr (tesseract) keybinds

2026-05-13T12:43:23Z

Push-to-talk dictation toggle on Super+i: parecord captures 16 kHz mono WAV, whisper-cli transcribes (auto language), output is typed via wtype and copied to the clipboard. Region OCR on Super+Shift+o: slurp + grim feed tesseract (eng+por), result lands in the clipboard with a notification preview. Adds wtype to wayland.txt; tesseract (+eng/por data) and whisper.cpp + the large-v3-turbo-q5_0 model package to extra.txt.
