Vinput's streaming Zipformer models have unbounded dynamic shapes, so OpenVINO cannot compile them for the GPU or the NPU; the `openvino` provider and ai's Intel NPU enablement could never run on the NPU (noted as unverified in WORKAROUNDS WA-017). Remove the backend option, the daemon's OpenVINO library path, and the intel-npu module enable, and update the eval test, README and WORKAROUNDS (drop WA-016 and WA-017). Keep Vinput's stock package and its bundled sherpa-onnx (1.13.4): the fork-based and nixpkgs-master sherpa overrides existed only to provide the `openvino` provider, so drop package.nix with them.

Fcitx5 Vinput
On ai and shoukei, install a Sherpa-ONNX model, then hold and release right Alt to dictate.
Right Shift toggles Chinese/English; left Shift remains a normal modifier. Open Vinput from
the application launcher for settings.
One-time setup (CLI)
The GUI path is Resources → Models (download and activate), then Control → ASR Providers. The equivalent non-interactive commands are:
vinput model add onnx-xasr-zh-en-960ms-punct-stream # download (~130 MB, sha256-verified)
vinput model use onnx-xasr-zh-en-960ms-punct-stream # set as active model
systemctl --user restart vinput-daemon
vinput model list -a lists the available registry models.
Persistence
Models are stored in ~/.local/share/vinput/models/sherpa-onnx/ and the core config lives in
~/.config/vinput/config.json. Both directories are bind-mounted from /persistent on the
tmpfs-root hosts (see hosts/idols-ai/preservation.nix); without that they are wiped on every
reboot and the daemon logs Local ASR provider model is not configured. Review model source and
license before installing.
Diagnostics
journalctl --user -b -u vinput-daemon
Check the daemon logs for the selected provider, model load, and transcription errors.
