+## 2026-09-22 — open-item audit closed; Large v3 quiet benchmark; in-app update check
+
+- **pump-error.log (open item 1, Sep 16): CLOSED — already gone.** Nothing
+  named pump-error.log exists under `~/.config/shonar-desktop/` anymore
+  (only `logs/engine.log`). The code path that writes it
+  (`DesktopState.kt` pump failure logger) is current and legitimate.
+- **Large v3 full-length timing (open item 2, Sep 16): MEASURED.** Quiet
+  machine (app + engine stopped), CPU int8, same args as the engine
+  (beam_size=5), clips cut from a real 2 h 09 m recording:
+  - 300 s audio → 1107 s wall (**0.27× real-time**), first segment 37 s,
+    model load 8.7 s.
+  - 1200 s audio → 2768 s wall (**0.43× real-time**), first segment 52 s.
+  The earlier note ("300 s clip ran well under 7 min") was optimistic —
+  under real quiet-CPU conditions Large v3 is ~4–8× slower than that.
+  Practical read: a 2-hour recording ≈ 4–8 h of CPU transcription;
+  Base (~7× real-time) stays the sensible default, Large v3 is for
+  shorter, quality-critical clips.
+- **In-app update check** (`7195aa1`, pushed): Settings gains
+  "About & updates" — build commit baked into the jar
+  (`generateBuildInfo` → `shonar-build.properties`), a Check-for-updates
+  button against the Forgejo commits API (up to date / update available
+  with Open-repo link / newer-than-remote for dev builds), verified live
+  on-device.
