+### BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* Windows now has separate CPU and GPU builds
+
+Changes:
+- Add Vulkan GPU support for Windows (works with NVIDIA, AMD, Intel)
+- Implement macOS Metal fallback to CPU on initialization failure
+- Add VULKAN_SDK pre-flight check in Windows release script
+- Enhance README with GPU requirements and troubleshooting
+- Improve runtime logging to show active backend
+
+Critical fixes after review:
+- Fix macOS Metal early return to ensure consistent logging
+- Remove impossible conditional compilation branches
+- Track actual GPU usage for accurate backend reporting
+
+The CPU build ensures universal Windows compatibility while the GPU
+build with Vulkan provides ~2-3x faster transcription for users with
+compatible GPUs.
