Use AutoCaptionGenerateOptions for this IPC input.
This declaration repeats the request shape already exported by electron/ipc/types.ts. The duplicated fields can drift from the main-process contract. Type options as import("./ipc/types").AutoCaptionGenerateOptions instead.

In `@electron/electron-env.d.ts` around lines 766 - 769, Update the IPC input
declaration around clipStartMs, clipEndMs, startSec, and durationSec to type
options as import("./ipc/types").AutoCaptionGenerateOptions, reusing the
exported contract instead of duplicating its fields.

Preserve the parent chunk index for wordless cues.
allCues is flattened before this callback. When one chunk returns two wordless cues, the second cue uses the next chunk's offset. Later cues can use offset 0 after the chunk array is exhausted. Map chunkCuesList by chunkIndex, then map each chunk's cues so every cue receives its parent chunk offset.

In `@electron/ipc/captions/chunking.ts` at line 497, Update the cue-to-chunk
mapping around chunkCuesList so flattened allCues entries retain their parent
chunkIndex instead of advancing the chunks index for each wordless cue. Map each
chunk’s cues with that chunk’s offset, ensuring multiple wordless cues share the
same parent offset and no later cue falls back to offset 0.

Description
Adds native support for NVIDIA Parakeet-TDT (0.6B v3 int8) speech-to-text as an alternative transcription backend alongside
whisper.cpp. The implementation abstracts transcription execution behind anITranscriptionEngineinterface, executessherpa-onnx-offlineas a standalone child process, implements SentencePiece token and word timestamp parsing, and integrates an automated multi-file model downloader for local managed storage.Motivation
While
whisper.cppis reliable, standard CPU execution can have high inference latency on longer recordings and occasionally hallucinates phantom phrases during pauses. Parakeet-TDT utilizes a Token-and-Duration Transducer architecture that runs several times faster on consumer CPUs, eliminates silence hallucinations, and natively outputs accurate token-level timestamps for subtitle cues without requiring Python runtime dependencies.Type of Change
