Char Weekly: February 22, 2026

Summary

Adds the weekly blog post summarizing development work from the past 7 days. Covers v1.0.9 stable release highlights including:

• Cactus local STT engine (beta, English-only)
• Keyboard-first settings navigation
• Task-aware model routing via x-char-task header
• Find-and-replace in transcript search
• AI improvements (default templates, fuzzy header matching, Memory tab, i18n headings)
• Calendar/contacts polish, onboarding refresh
• Infrastructure: PostHog migration, Restate removal, transcript crate rebuild

Content was derived from git log --since="7 days ago" and changelog files (1.0.8-nightly.1 through 1.0.9). Written following positioning guidelines in apps/web/content/AGENTS.md.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

• Verify factual accuracy of feature descriptions — cross-check claims (especially Cactus capabilities, task-aware routing behavior, Memory tab) against actual shipped code. I summarized from commit messages and changelogs but may have mischaracterized details.
• Check file naming convention — previous posts use hyprnote-weekly-* pattern; this uses char-weekly-* per task instructions. Verify the content collection / routing picks this up correctly and the post renders on the blog index.
• Review published: true frontmatter field — previous weekly posts don't include this field. Confirm it doesn't cause unexpected behavior in the content pipeline.
• Tone check — verify the post aligns with AGENTS.md brand voice (direct, engineering-minded, anti-lock-in, not corporate/sloppy).
