Building Dictum — a macOS Dictation App with Tauri 2 (Rust + React) & Azure OpenAI
Hold a keyboard shortcut, speak, release — audio goes to Azure OpenAI or OpenAI Whisper for transcription with an optional GPT rephrase pass via Smart Keywords, and the polished text is injected into whatever app is in focus. The Rust hot path for audio capture, accessibility permissions, overlay window, and the non-obvious bits of shipping a Tauri app on macOS.

MAF v1 — Deployment with Docker and Compose
Package the agent stack with one multi-target Dockerfile, one Compose file, and a dev.sh script with health gates locally.
MAF v1 — Prompt engineering (Python + .NET)
Structure prompts around identity, grounding, task rules, role context, and YAML composition so agents stay consistent over time.
MAF v1 — E-commerce repo guided tour (Python + .NET)
Every MAF concept from the prior chapters, mapped to the exact file and line where it lives in the live e-commerce repo.
MAF v1 — Evaluation framework (Python + .NET)
Build an eval pipeline with golden datasets, scoring, smoke/full modes, and CI gates to catch prompt regressions before release.
MAF v1 — Python ↔ .NET asymmetries: a porting reference
Compare the six Python and .NET MAF API differences you will hit when porting samples, from constructors to workflow wiring.
MAF v1 — DevUI for agents and workflows (Python)
Run MAF DevUI locally to test prompts, inspect tool calls and OTel spans, and register agents by code or directory discovery.
MAF v1 — Production hardening (Python + .NET)
Add HTTP-layer production patterns for password reset, refresh-token rotation, reuse detection, and secret rotation in APIs.
MAF v1 — Workflow Visualization (Python + .NET)
Render any workflow as Mermaid (GitHub-friendly) or Graphviz DOT (production runbooks). One line each, deterministic output, dark-mode-safe palette.
MAF v1 — Declarative Workflows (Python + .NET)
Define a workflow in YAML, load it at runtime, and tweak orchestration without recompiling the Python or .NET app safely.
