Focus snapshots now carry the selected text and its range in the host's value. On top of that, the pure rules decide when a selection may be rewritten, build instruct and base-model prompts (naming the draft's language), clean model output, flag numbers and names the user did not write, and check that Replace still targets the same field, text and range. RewriteEngine runs one rewrite on Cotabby's local model (Apple Intelligence, else the llama base model) or on a cloud service with the user's own key: Claude through Anthropic's Messages API, the others through OpenAI-compatible chat completions, each key in its own Keychain item.

…-> Rewrite
While an eligible selection is stable, the field-edge Cotabby icon
becomes a wand and Control-Option-R is armed; the key tap exists only
while such a selection is armed. Either opens a non-activating popup
that takes the keyboard (so Return never reaches a chat app): five
tones, a remembered "Fix spelling & grammar" tick box, a custom
instruction, a streamed preview with Shorter and Longer, Replace, Copy
and Retry. Replace pastes over the original selection only when the
same field still holds the same text at the same range, then reads the
field back; otherwise the rewrite goes to the clipboard with a notice.
A rewrite that adds a number or name the user did not write says what
changed and needs "Replace anyway". The popup names the host when the
provider is a cloud service. Settings -> Rewrite has a master switch
("Rewrite Selected Text", on by default) that turns all selection work
off, the model (this Mac, or a cloud service with a model list and a
Keychain key) and the button.

31-31: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winDo not add one-file
Rewrite/folders.This PR adds two new folders that each hold one file:
Cotabby/App/Coordinators/Rewrite/holds onlySelectionRewriteCoordinator.swift.Cotabby/Models/Rewrite/holds onlyRewriteModels.swift.The layout rule says a child folder needs at least two files with a stable responsibility. Do one of the following:
- Put
SelectionRewriteCoordinator.swiftdirectly inApp/Coordinators/, next toSettingsCoordinator.swift. KeepRewriteModels.swiftin the nearest existing subsystem.- Explain in this document why each folder will grow soon.
If you move a file, regenerate
Cotabby.xcodeprojand move its mirrored test (CotabbyTests/App/Coordinators/Rewrite/) with it.As per coding guidelines: "Add a child folder only when at least two files form a stable responsibility with a predictable name. Do not create one-file folders merely to shorten a file list."

- Around line 564-575: Update `SelectionRewriteCoordinator` to pass
`input.focusedURLString` alongside the bundle identifier through its allow
callback, then update `isRewriteAllowed` in `CotabbyAppEnvironment` to apply the
existing `BrowserDomain` host matching against
`PerDomainDisableSettings.disabledDomains()` before allowing selection rewrite.
Preserve the existing app, pause, and Low Power Mode checks.
Review comments at @Cotabby/Services/Rewrite/LocalRewriteProvider.swift:
- Around line 74-76: Update `tokenBudget(_:)` to give `.longer` enough tokens
for the character limit enforced by `RewriteOutputCleaner`, while retaining the
800-token cap and an appropriately sized budget for other actions. Ensure the
resulting budget is used for both model paths.
- Around line 66-70: Update the generation flow in LocalRewriteProvider to
truncate both streamed partial text and the final output at the earliest
configured stop sequence, since the decoder retains the matched sequence. Add a
test using raw output containing “Draft:” to verify the returned text excludes
the stop sequence.
Review comments at @Cotabby/Support/Rewrite/RewriteSpecificsCheck.swift:
- Around line 20-23: Update the source matching in RewriteSpecificsCheck so
proper names in rewrite are checked against normalized whole words from the
source, not substring matches. Build a set of non-empty folded source words and
use it when checking nameVariants; add a test confirming “Sam” is flagged when
the source contains “same.”
Review comments at @Cotabby/Support/Rewrite/SelectionRewriteEligibility.swift:
- Line 25: Replace the whitespace-based word count in the selection eligibility
logic with a word tokenizer such as enumerateSubstrings using .byWords or
NLTokenizer, so Japanese, Chinese, and Thai text can meet minimumWords. Add a
test confirming a Japanese sentence is eligible.

The wrong phrase gets replaced
SelectionReplaceValidator accepts matching text without checking its position when hostSelection is nil. Chromium contenteditables take this path. If the user selects another occurrence of the same phrase while the popup is open, SelectionRewriteTarget also stays equal. The popup remains open, and Replace overwrites the new occurrence.
Preserve enough information to check the original selection, or copy instead when its position cannot be checked.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Valid. With no host range (Chromium), another copy of the same phrase passed both the target equality and the validator.
Fixed: 20390439: SelectionRewriteTarget now keeps 32 characters of text on each side of the selection. Without a host range on either side, the validator requires those to match, and a different copy also makes a new target, so the popup closes. Test: test_withoutAHostRangeTheSurroundingTextDecides.

Changed numbers pass unnoticed
numbers(in:) removes decimal points and time separators before comparing values. A draft saying 3.5 and a rewrite saying 35 both become 35, so a tenfold change passes without a warning. Likewise, 1:30 and 13:0 compare equal.
Keep separators that affect the value. Only remove separators that are known to mark thousands.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Valid. Stripping every separator made 3.5 equal 35, and 1:30 equal 13:0.
Fixed: c4899bbc: only real thousands groups lose their separators. A decimal comma becomes a point, and a colon stays. The warning now treats any term starting with a digit as a number. Tests: test_decimalsAndTimesKeepTheirValue, test_thousandsSeparatorsDoNotMatter, test_changedDecimalIsNamedAsANumber.

Ignored pastes look successful
verifyInserted considers a paste successful if the rewrite's first 30 characters occur anywhere in the current field, including the original selection. A failed paste of Please send the quarterly report today. over Please send the quarterly report tomorrow. passes because the shared opening is already there. Cotabby then closes the popup without copying the rewrite or showing the promised notice.
Check the expected replacement at the original location rather than an arbitrary matching prefix.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Valid. Finding the first 30 characters anywhere in the field confirmed a paste that had not landed.
Fixed: 20390439: a pure pasteLanded(_:replacing:in:), which ignores whitespace on both sides, confirms a paste in one of two ways. Either the text before the caret ends with the rewrite (its last 1,000 characters for a long one), or the whole rewrite is in the field and the original selection is gone. Test: test_pasteLandedNeedsTheRewriteInPlace (the "today/tomorrow" case, run-together paragraphs, caret moved).
The llama path returned the stop sequence with the rewrite, so a base model that began its next example left "Draft:" in the preview and in the field; the output and the streamed partials are now cut at the earliest stop sequence. Longer gets a token budget that matches what the cleaner lets it grow to, instead of being cut off mid-sentence. The base prompt now keeps a refinement's tone and says when the "Fix spelling & grammar" tick box is off.

Names now match whole words, so "Sam" is flagged even when the draft says "same". Numbers compare by value: thousands separators are ignored, but a decimal point and a time's colon are kept, so 3.5 never equals 35. Refinements are checked against the original selection rather than the earlier preview, so a change the user never accepted stays flagged through Shorter and Longer.

- The app gate now honours the per-domain disable list as well, and is asked again before the popup opens and before a rewrite runs, so a pause, Low Power Mode or a disabled domain that comes on while a selection stays armed stops it. - Words are counted at word boundaries, so a Japanese or Chinese sentence is a draft, not one word. - While the popup is open and the host has the keyboard, Return is always taken: it replaces when it may and is swallowed otherwise, so a chat app never sends the original draft. - Without a host range (Chromium), the text around the selection must match too, so another copy of the same phrase is never replaced. - A paste is confirmed only by the rewrite sitting where the selection was, not by a shared opening.

…del list - A preview taller than about 18 lines scrolls inside a fixed height, so Replace, Copy and Retry stay on screen. - A Claude stream that ends without message_stop is an error rather than a partial reply that looks finished. - Settings -> Rewrite forgets a loaded model list when the Custom URL changes, and ignores a list that arrives for another service or URL.

Require the selection to collapse before accepting a field-wide match.
When the paste is ignored but the selection remains, a pre-existing rewrite at the end of precedingText can satisfy the suffix check. The field-wide check also treats a rewrite containing the original as evidence that the original is gone. verifyInserted then returns without copying the rewrite.

Ignore obsolete model-load failures.
loadModels() has one caller: the Load models button. Changing service or base URL does not re-enable that button, so the direct premature-reset race is not reachable in the same pane instance.
The settings container can recreate RewritePaneView when navigation leaves and returns to the Rewrite pane. The new view can start another request while the old unstructured task is still pending, but the old task does not establish a reset of the new view’s @State loading flag. The supported issue is that the old task can still display an obsolete failure after the service or URL changes.
Track request identity for completion status. Do not require the loading reset guard for the current button flow.

Track request identity in RewritePaneView so loadModels only displays a failure
for the latest request and only while its captured service and base URL remain
current. Invalidate the request identity when switchService or the base-URL
update changes settings; do not add a loading-flag reset guard.

Unchanged names trigger warnings
Rewriting “Please ask Jean-Luc tomorrow” without changing the name still flags Jean-Luc. words(in:) splits the source into jean and luc, but properNames(in:) keeps Jean-Luc whole. This disables plain Replace and Return even though the user already wrote the name.
Use matching word boundaries on both sides while preserving the whole-word check.
… engines branch FuJacob#869 cut the base model's stop text and gave Longer room to finish in LocalRewriteProvider, which this branch split into the per-engine providers of LocalRewriteProviders.swift: the cut stays in OpenSourceRewriteProvider, and the new budget lives in RewritePromptBuilder.tokenBudget, which now serves every provider (the separate completions budget is gone; Longer already has more room). Its budget test moves to RewriteTokenBudgetTests. The coordinator keeps both the popup's destination and FuJacob#869's per-run app check. The Xcode project is regenerated with XcodeGen.

FuJacob#869 cuts the llama path's output at the first base-prompt stop sequence. The Local Endpoint's completions mode and MLX's base-model path use the same prompt, and a server that ignores `stop` (or streams part of a stop sequence before it matches) could leave "Draft:" in the preview and the field. Both now go through one LocalEndpointRewriteProvider.generateBase that cuts every partial and the result with RewritePromptBuilder.cutAtBaseStop.

…b#869, FuJacob#870) Brings the review and review-bot fixes from feat/selection-rewrite-main and feat/rewrite-every-engine-main into the fork build, keeping the fork's memory gathering, named API services, tones and field-icon wand. - "Rewrite Selected Text" master switch (cotabbyRewriteEnabled, default on): off arms nothing, so there is no wand and no shortcut key tap. - "Same as autocomplete" never leaves the Mac on its own: with autocomplete on a LAN or public endpoint it runs on Apple Intelligence, else Open Source. An explicit Local Endpoint still sends, with the disclosure. - A popup resolves its destination once (RewriteDestination); every run goes there and the memory policy is decided for it; a changed endpoint URL sends nothing (destinationChanged). - Change check moves to RewriteSpecificsCheck: whole-word names, decimals and times keep their value, always against the user's own selection (plus this run's memory facts). - Arming and every run honour disabled domains, pause and Low Power Mode; Return never reaches the host while the popup is open; Replace needs the surrounding text where the host has no range; a paste is confirmed only when the rewrite is in place. - Base-model stop text is cut on every path; one token budget, Longer count*2+100 capped at 800; base prompt keeps a refinement's tone and the tick box. - Anthropic: missing key fails before any request, an unfinished stream is an error, documented effort/fallback models. Named services need a key. - Bounded preview height, model-list results and errors stay with their service, loopback hosts are not disclosed, Esc/Return tap removed for a notice, dead presenter surface removed. - MLX rewrite server: a stop waits for an in-flight rewrite, a later start cancels a deferred stop, autocomplete's MLX waits for the rewrite server. - RewritePreferencesStore and TemporaryKeyTap get nonisolated deinit (the macOS 26 executor-shim double free); tests build stores via makeStore. - Fixes the fork's memory stripping, which dropped tone and the tick box. - Colleague names and personal samples replaced in rewrite tests/comments.

Proposal: #860
Summary
Rewrite with AI. Select text you wrote in a field, pick a tone, and Cotabby rewrites it in place. You don't have to copy the draft into a chat window and paste it back.
How it works
Selection in the focus snapshot.
FocusedInputSnapshotgainsselectedTextandhostSelection.selectedTextis cut from the same bounded window asprecedingTextandtrailingText(FocusSelectionText).hostSelectionis the nativekAXSelectedTextRange. It is nil for Chromium contenteditables, whose text-marker ranges are window-relative.Gate.
SelectionRewriteEligibility(pure) accepts a selection only when all of these hold:A selection over 2,000 characters is not rejected silently: it opens the popup with a "too long" message. Credential fields that the resolver blocks are never armed.
Coordinator.
SelectionRewriteCoordinatorruns the state machine: hidden → button → popup → generating → preview.ActivationIndicatorController.showRewrite/endRewrite. While rewrite owns the icon, focus-drivenshow/hidecalls leave it alone. Only then does the panel take mouse clicks. Otherwise the panel ignores the mouse, as it does onmain.TemporaryKeyTap, a consuming tap installed only while it is needed.Prompt.
RewritePromptBuilder(pure) has two shapes:Draft:. A selection that reads "ignore the above and…" is therefore just a draft to rewrite.Rewritten:. It stops at the nextDraft:through a newLlamaGenerationOptions.stopSequences, checked by the pureDecodeStopPolicy.verdict(new reasonstopSequence). The list is empty for autocomplete, and a test pins that an empty list never stops, so autocomplete's stop decision is unchanged.RewriteLanguageDetectornames the draft's language. It is limited to the user's Writing languages, because unconstrainedNLLanguageRecognizerguesses can misname a short draft typed without accents. Without a named language, Apple's model can answer a draft that mixes in English words in English.Engine.
RewriteEnginesends the request to the provider chosen in Settings → Rewrite.LocalRewriteProvider(default) uses Apple Intelligence when it is available, with a fresh session per rewrite. Otherwise it uses the selected llama model. It sharesLlamaRuntimeManagerwith autocomplete: the core already serializes generations, and it reuses a cached prefix only when the tokens match.APIRewriteProvidersends Claude through Anthropic's Messages API (AnthropicMessagesClient: raw HTTP and SSE).output_config.effort: "low"on the 5-series models, the documented top-level effort parameter, which needs no beta header.fallbacks: "default"with theserver-side-fallback-2026-07-01beta header). A decline is then retried on Anthropic's recommended model in the same stream. Haiku 5.5 has no server-side fallback, so it is never sent.OpenAICompatibleAPIClient.streamChat. That call sends only model, messages and stream, because hosted models differ in which sampling fields they reject. The SSE loop is now shared with autocomplete'sgenerate. That refactor drops asawEvent = truewrite in the[DONE]branch, which was dead because the branch returns immediately. Autocomplete behaves exactly as before.Cleanup and checks.
RewriteOutputCleanerstrips prefaces ("Here is…:"), code fences and wrapping quotes. It keeps the selection's own leading and trailing whitespace. It rejects output that is empty or too long (more than 3× the selection; Shorter may not grow).RewriteSpecificsCheckandRewriteChangeWarningfind and describe added numbers and names.SelectionReplaceValidatorchecks that the field, the text and the range are the same. If focus came back from the instruction box with only a caret, it restores the original range once throughAXHelper.setSelectedTextRange.SuggestionInserter.pasteAtCaret: a paste, never typed keys, so a line break can't send a chat message. Afterwards the coordinator polls the field to confirm the text landed, and copies the rewrite if it didn't.Privacy: what is sent where
<bundle id>.rewrite-endpoint.<service>). It is separate from autocomplete's endpoint key and is never stored in UserDefaults.Settings and defaults
A new Settings → Rewrite pane, with its own
RewritePreferencesStore(UserDefaults keyscotabbyRewrite*):The tick box state is remembered from the popup. The pane labels the local option "Apple Intelligence" or "Cotabby's model — basic quality", depending on live availability.
Quality note
Base models (Open Source) give basic rewrites: typo fixes are fine, but tone changes are weak. A base model continues text rather than following instructions, so it only gets one example per tone. Apple Intelligence and chat/instruct cloud models rewrite well.

The PR still needs fixes for repeated-selection matching and decimal comparisons before merging.
Summary
Adds selected-text rewriting through local models or a user-configured API service.
One new non-blocking issue remains: unchanged names containing punctuation trigger false warnings.
senadaruc accepted leaving an already-visible wand until the next focus change after power-saving settings change, to keep the stacked #870 diff small. Opening or running a rewrite now checks those settings again.
