Correctify 1.2.2 Stable
released this
2026-10-23 12:12:41 +02:00 | 9 commits to main since this releaseA right-click correction could silently do nothing in some canvas apps (Google Docs): the paste keystroke landed, but the paste did not. Version 1.2.2 makes the paste verified and self-recovering — if it provably never landed, the app retries through the app menu before giving up.
What's new for you
- Corrections apply in canvas apps. After the paste, the target field or document is actually read back: if the corrected text is not there, Correctify presses Edit → Paste through the app's own menu — the path that works where synthetic keystrokes fail — before reporting a failure. No more silent no-op pastes.
- Smarter retries. How a selection could be read and copied is remembered per attempt; an app that needed its menu to copy is offered its menu to paste first, instead of wasting a failed synthetic keystroke.
- Glitch-free failure handling. A paste that provably never landed no longer pretends otherwise: no phantom "done" panel and no text dropped from the clipboard history — app state is rolled back cleanly.
What's guaranteed
- Formatting-carry-over is locked by tests. The HTML/RTF diff-and-rebuild engine (Word, Outlook, browsers, Teams) is functionally unchanged and now covered by a new 33-check regression suite: bold, colours, fonts and paragraph structure survive every correction byte-for-byte.
- Update checks verified against real artifacts. The update-fetch tests now mount the actual newest DMG in
dist/instead of a hard-coded name, so a version bump cannot silently break the auto-update flow. - Bring-your-own-key, no account: nothing changed in how your key is stored or sent — the daily version check and anonymous usage counter now report
1.2.2.

For contributors
Full technical breakdown in the commit history: verified paste with
pasteAndConfirm+ menu-item fallback inCorrectionController, copy-method tracking reused as a paste hint, AX probe helper inAccessibility, 33-check formatting-carry-over suite (CorrectionCoreTest) on the real sources plus the 34-check update suite, update tests now pick the newest dist DMG dynamically. Every step exercised end-to-end live against a real TextEdit document (8/8 checks).Implementation credits: GLM 5.3 Flash.
Updated Oct 23 (build 10): fixed a bug that could paste the corrected text twice or three times, then tell you to paste it yourself — apps that rewrite pasted text on arrival (autocorrect, curly quotes, reflowed wrapping) now correctly prove the landing.
