Why
Selecting Portuguese with Parakeet v3 looks like it should guide transcription, but the pinned model identifies language from audio instead. HEX currently marks it as accepting a language hint even though that hint does not condition decoding. Related to #68.
What Changes
pt.Language Conditioning
In
transcribe-cpp-sys0.1.3, Parakeet readsparams->languagefor decoding only when the encoder has a prompt input. That input requires positivestt.parakeet.prompt.num_promptsmetadata. All 58 metadata entries in the pinned v3 GGUF header were inspected: Portuguese is supported and language detection is advertised, but the prompt key is absent. This agrees with NVIDIA's model description, which describes transcription without language prompting.Demo
Before and after release previews built and launched with the deterministic
Portuguese/installed fixture. Screenshot capture failed with

were changed.
Scope
This is a metadata and UI clarification, not a demonstrated transcription-quality repair. #68 remains open: the reported audio failure has not been reproduced. Saved selections and Auto picker eligibility are unchanged; trying Whisper is a suggestion, not an accuracy guarantee.
Verification
