Penova 1.2.0

Headline features

⌘K Command Palette

• Hit ⌘K anywhere in the app to summon a Linear / Raycast-style modal. Type three letters to find any command — rename a character, save a revision, switch view modes, lock the script, jump to search, generate sides for a character.
• Sub-sequence fuzzy matching with start, word-boundary, and consecutive-character bonuses (the same flavour Sublime Text and VS Code use). The result you want is usually the first one.
• Eleven starter commands wired up at launch — the same actions your menu bar already exposes, now reachable by typing.

One-click Save Revision (⌥⌘R)

• An explicit Save Revision sheet replaces the silent save-on-shortcut path. Shows the next colour with the WGA paper-stock swatch, today's date, the round number, and an optional note field.
• Auto-advances through the full WGA sequence — White → Blue → Pink → Yellow → Green → Goldenrod → Buff → Salmon → Cherry → Tan → Ivory → Double White, then wraps. Override the colour pick if you want to jump.
• Round number tracks independently of colour, so "Round #14" is always meaningful even after the colour wraps.
• Each revision snapshots the project as a Fountain string — diff-able, restorable, archive-friendly.

Beat Board with structure overlays

• The Index Cards view (⌘2 / View → Index Cards) now renders scenes grouped by beat under a section rail across the top.
• Toggle the structure: Penova (the 6-beat default) / Field 3-Act / Save the Cat (15 beats) / Hero's Journey (12 beats). Same scenes, different scaffolding — best-fit translation of your beat assignments under each model.
• Empty beats render a dashed-border placeholder telling the writer what's missing — instant feedback that your "Refusal of the Call" needs a scene.
• Coverage pill shows what percentage of the active overlay's beats have at least one scene mapped to them.

Voiced Table Read (⌥⌘P)

• Hit ⌥⌘P on any scene. The cream paper page renders the scene with a NOW-line halo on the line being read; auto- scrolls as it advances.
• Per-character voice assignment from a curated catalogue — Vihaan, Aanya, Saraswati, Kabir, Meera, Kai, Rohan, Narrator. Auto-assigned by name + gender heuristic on first open; overridable in the cast panel.
• Audio plays via Apple's on-device speech engine — no network, no API key, free. Pace, listen-options (action lines / parens / auto-scroll) configurable.
• Premium voices (much more natural neural-trained voices) are a one-time download from System Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content. Penova picks the best installed quality automatically — no setting to flip.
• Curated voice mapping per preset means the same speaker gets the same timbre across sessions; pitch jitter and breath pauses on em-dash / ellipsis / question-mark make the delivery less metronome-flat.

Style check in the inspector

• The right-hand inspector now surfaces a Style panel for each scene with the marks the writer might want to fix: — adverbs (quickly, quietly), clichés (we see, begins to, a beat), passive voice (is being, was watched).
• Quiet, never blocking. Renders as small cards with a quoted excerpt + a 2px coloured strip on the leading edge so a clean scene shows a clean inspector.
• Curated stop-list keeps "ugly" / "family" / "fly" off the adverb list. Cliché matcher uses word-boundary anchoring so "begins" mid-sentence isn't flagged.

Sprint timer in the toolbar

• Toolbar pill — click to start a focused-writing sprint. Shows live elapsed time and word count vs goal (17:42 · 487 / 1000).
• Default 25 minutes / 1000 words. Click the chip again to end the session.

Project management on Mac

The Mac app shipped without a way to rename, archive, or delete projects. 1.2.0 closes that gap, mirroring the iOS Scripts tab pattern.

• Right-click any project in the sidebar → context menu with Rename… · Archive · Move to Trash.
• Archived projects render dimmed at 0.55 opacity; trashed projects soft-delete with a confirm alert and disappear from the sidebar.
• A "Show archived & trash" toggle at the sidebar footer reveals them when needed; Restore brings them back.
• "Delete forever…" on a trashed project is a second confirm step before the row is permanently removed from the store.
• If you trash the project owning the selected scene, the editor auto-snaps to a sibling project's scene so you don't see a stale selection.

Under the hood

• StyleCheckService — pure-logic scanner in PenovaKit. 30 unit tests pinning adverb / cliché / passive detection contracts.
• CommandRegistry + FuzzyMatcher — the palette's foundation. 25 tests for the matcher and registry.
• SaveRevisionService — orchestrates the snapshot → row → colour-advance flow. 20 tests including a five-save round-trip with distinct content edits between saves.
• StructureOverlay + StructureMapper — pure data. 21 tests covering beat counts, midpoint anchors, page-anchor clamping, and best-fit Penova→other-overlay translation.
• Voice catalogue + assignment + table-read engine — 26 tests for the catalogue lookup, assignment service CRUD, queue construction, and settings respected.
• End-to-end XCUITest walks every new surface in one deterministic run — Sprint chip, Command Palette, Save Revision, Beat Board, Search, Title Page, Export. Green on every integration commit.

Two real bugs caught + fixed before ship

• ⌘K didn't open the palette in some launches. The hidden Button lived in its own .background() modifier that a later one was masking. Fixed by consolidating all the keyboard shortcuts into one responder block.
• ESC didn't always dismiss the palette. .onKeyPress(.escape) was on the TextField only — if the field hadn't won focus, ESC was a no-op. Fixed with a window- level cancelAction button.

Numbers

• 13 PRs shipped (12 features + 1 fixup)
• ~150 new unit tests, plus a comprehensive XCUITest
• 540 tests total (526 iOS + 14 Mac UI), all green
• Zero regressions in the existing suites
• One additive SwiftData migration (new VoiceAssignment table) — automatic, no MigrationPlan
