Summary

Adds the Char Weekly post for April 13, 2026, covering the two stable desktop releases that shipped this week:

• Desktop v1.0.21 (April 7) — local STT models restored, record-only mode, AssemblyAI improvements, transcript/chat UI overhaul, formatting toolbar, calendar/template/onboarding polish.
• Desktop v1.0.22 (April 10) — automatic batch fallback for non-live providers, OpenAI/Pyannote support, smart window resizing, calendar force-refresh, ad-hoc sessions, update banner improvements.

No stable CLI releases shipped in this window. Content is sourced from packages/changelog/content/1.0.21.md and 1.0.22.md. Formatted with dprint fmt.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

• Verify content accuracy against changelogs: Compare each claim in the post against packages/changelog/content/1.0.21.md and 1.0.22.md to ensure nothing is fabricated, exaggerated, or misattributed between versions.
• Confirm no shipped items were omitted: Check both changelogs to see if any user-facing change was dropped from the weekly summary.
• Check tone and wording: The narrative is AI-generated — scan for awkward phrasing or anything that doesn't match your voice.

Notes

• Stable tag date verification: desktop_v1.0.21 → 2026-04-07T12:26:21 UTC, desktop_v1.0.22 → 2026-04-10T09:38:33 UTC. Both fall within the April 6–13 window.
• desktop_v1.0.20 (April 2 UTC) was excluded as outside the 7-day range.
• No stable CLI tags (cli_v* excluding nightly) were found after March 29.
