## [0.7.2]

### Fixed

- **Android: ship Parakeet CPU-only by dropping the Adreno GPU backends, fixing a
SIGABRT during model load.** Parakeet already forces `useGPU=false` on Android at
the engine boundary (`ParakeetModel::load`, "pending Vulkan/Mali and OpenCL/Adreno
driver fixes"), but the addon still *shipped* the
`libqvac-speech-ggml-{vulkan,opencl}.so` backends, and `parakeet-cpp`'s
`ggml_backend_load_all_from_path()` initialises the Adreno Vulkan device regardless
of `n_gpu_layers=0`. After `parakeet-cpp 2026-06-04#0` (#2461) added robust
Adreno-generation detection, that init now engages the Adreno Vulkan backend on
devices like the Samsung S25 Ultra and aborts in `ggml` graph compute ~8 s into
loading `parakeet-tdt-0.6b-v3`, killing the Bare worklet (SIGABRT) and every
subsequent test. (Confirmed identical on device-farm runs 27282459468 and
27286841825; the same `parakeet@0.7.1` passed on Android on Jun 5 with the older
`parakeet-cpp 2026-05-26#2`, which did not detect the Adreno → stayed on CPU.)
Drop the `vulkan`/`opencl` vcpkg features from the Android `parakeet-cpp`
dependency so the Android prebuild is CPU-only — no GPU backend `.so` is shipped,
so nothing initialises the Adreno driver. iOS (Metal) and desktop
(Vulkan) builds are unchanged. The Android GPU path can be re-enabled once the
upstream Adreno Vulkan/OpenCL `ggml` instability is fixed.
