Problem

Settings → Voice shows the scope sentence ("Applying settings for on ") above every row, but most rows on the page ignore it. Microphone, dictation shortcut, language, translate, silence filtering, filler words, the personal dictionary and the cleanup preferences are client settings saved on the device you are using. Only the project/shared dictionary and the cleanup model (serverScoped) follow the scope.

Reported in #34297: a Windows desktop client with the header set to a remote Mac environment listed the Windows PC's microphones in the Microphone dropdown. That is correct behaviour, because audio is recorded on the device in front of you, but the layout says the row belongs to the Mac, so it looked broken. The reporter couldn't tell whether the microphone had to be set up on the PC or on the Mac.

Change

A small labelling and discoverability change in VoiceSettingsPanel.tsx. It doesn't touch behaviour, storage or layout.

• Every row saved on the client gets a small outline Badge reading This device next to its title. Its tooltip says "Saved on this device, whatever scope is selected above." The badge is focusable, so keyboard users can open the tooltip too. The badged rows are Microphone, Dictation shortcut, Language, Translate to English, Silence filtering, Remove filler words, Your dictionary, Clean up transcripts, Instructions and Correction cue. Shared/Project dictionary, Cleanup model, Test microphone (an action, not a setting), and the model/hardware rows for the "Transcribe with" environment are left unbadged.
• The Microphone description now starts with "Audio is recorded on this device and transcribed wherever you choose under Transcription.", followed by the existing "Voice input uses the first connected microphone in this list."
• The Your dictionary description drops ", saved on this device", because the badge now says that.
• "Transcribe with" is also chosen on this device, but it gets no badge. Its picker names the destination, and "This device" next to it would read like a transcription choice.

The badge is a local DeviceSettingTitle helper passed as the row title. That follows the pattern other settings rows already use for a title with an accessory (for example PolicyTooltip in ProviderSettingsPanel). SettingsRow, the scope sentence and the section structure are unchanged.

Scope and approval

This addresses #34297. It hasn't been triaged by a maintainer yet, and there is no prior approval. I'm opening it as the smallest version of the issue's first two suggestions (mark the device-local rows, and add a hint on the Microphone row), in case that is useful. Per CONTRIBUTING.md this is a change to product copy and labelling rather than an obvious bug fix, so I understand it may be closed or redone differently. Nothing moves, and no setting or storage changes.

Verification

• Updated after fix(web): voice settings and dictation match the rest of the app #33140 rewrote the Voice panel: merged main (no force-push), kept that PR's copy and row names, and put the badges back on the same ten rows. The earlier runtime checks below were made on the pre-fix(web): voice settings and dictation match the rest of the app #33140 layout; a maintainer's run on that version is in the comments.

• Ran it against an isolated dev instance (vp run dev --home-dir <temp dir>) with two placeholder projects and "Transcribe with" set to the local environment. Opened Settings → Voice and compared it to upstream/main in light and dark mode at 1280 px and 390 px wide. Before: no row says where it is saved. After: the ten device-local rows show the badge, Shared dictionary has none, the Microphone description shows the new sentence, and the badge wraps cleanly next to the title at 390 px. I have before/after captures and can attach them if you want them.

• vp test run apps/web/src/components/settings/VoiceSettingsPanel.browser.test.tsx: 15 passed on the merged head.

• vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (2 packages), tests beside the change and the React compiler check all pass.

• No new test. The change is copy and a static badge, which AGENTS.md says to cover with captures, not tests.

• Not checked: the desktop (Electron) build and a real two-machine setup. The page is the same web component in both, and the badge only depends on which rows render.

Walkthrough

The voice settings panel adds a “This device” badge and tooltip to selected settings. It updates the microphone description to explain where audio is recorded and transcribed. It removes the claim that the personal dictionary is saved on the device.

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Label device-local voice settings apps/web/src/components/settings/VoiceSettingsPanel.tsx	A shared title wrapper adds a “This device” badge and tooltip to selected settings. The microphone description says audio is recorded on the device and transcribed at the chosen destination. The personal dictionary description no longer says it is saved on the device.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 349a1

The "This device" badge is now keyboard-focusable, so keyboard users can reach its tooltip. The change otherwise only adds labels and adjusts descriptions in the voice settings panel, and no merge-blocking risk remains.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a labelling fix in Voice settings that marks the rows saved on this device. It uses the conventional commit format and is specific. It matches the 'This device' badge and the related copy edits in VoiceSettingsPanel.tsx.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem (scope sentence shown above device-local rows, reported in #34297), the change (a "This device" badge and tooltip on ten client-saved rows, a revised Microphone description, and a trimmed Dictionary description), the scope and approval status, and verification steps with results. It meets the template's required sections. The Verification section also says the Electron build and a real two-machine setup were not checked. The template does not require a conventional commit title in the body, and the author did not state the model and harness used, which the template asks for only when an agent was used. Minor gaps: the Verification section mentions before/after captures but does not embed or link them, and the template asks for captures for UI changes. The PR objectives report a test count of 14 while the description reports 15, a discrepancy the author should reconcile.

Verified in a real dev environment

Head b77c818, compared with main at d2c2595 (the PR's base). Both ran vp run dev on Linux against the same state directory. I made the data through the app: a project for a real git repo and a Claude Haiku 5.5 turn in it. "Transcribe with" points at the local environment with Whisper Tiny downloaded, and Clean up transcripts is on, so every row the PR touches renders. Playwright drove headless Chrome.

• Badges. With the scope set to the project, main shows no device marker. The PR shows "This device" on the 10 listed rows. Project dictionary, Shared dictionary, Cleanup model and Transcribe with stay unbadged. The new Microphone and Dictionary copy renders as described.
• The badge's claim holds. Under the project scope I changed Dictation shortcut to "Hold". After switching the picker to All projects it still read "Hold", with all 10 badges present. A word added to Project dictionary under the project scope did not appear under All projects (Shared dictionary showed 0 entries). It came back when I returned to the project. Afterwards I restored both.
• Tooltip. Hovering a badge shows "Saved on this device, whatever scope is selected above."
• Nearby behavior. Searching settings for "dictation shortcut" still finds the row and opens Voice. In dark mode at 390 px the badge wraps cleanly next to the title.
• CI. 23 checks pass and 8 are skipped. I made no changes to the PR.

Not verified

• A real two-machine setup, such as a desktop client with the scope set to a remote environment as in [Bug]: Voice settings shows device-local rows (Microphone etc.) under the environment/project scope header #34297. I had only one environment here. The badge is static and renders regardless of the selected environment.
• The Electron desktop build and the native mobile apps. The panel is the same web component on desktop, and mobile has no equivalent page.
• Cloud transcription rows (OpenAI, Grok, OpenRouter). These need an external API key. The Language row's badge was verified with the local model.
• Recording or transcribing real microphone audio. This headless VM has no microphone, and the PR does not change that path.
