Fix socat dropping results on longer recordings#10
Merged
Conversation
socat's -t flag (shutdown timeout after stdin EOF) defaults to 0.5s. When the transcription daemon takes longer than that to process dense speech, socat disconnects before receiving the result, causing a BrokenPipeError in the daemon and "no speech detected" for the user. Add -t 120 to all socat calls so it waits for the daemon's response. Also add daemon logging to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/talktype-whisper.log and retry logic in transcribe-server when the daemon dies mid-request. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
