A Cappella: voice control for Maestro

Ten phases of work landing the A Cappella voice stack, branched from and targeting rc.

What this adds

  • Shared protocol and state machine (src/shared/acappella/) - one vocabulary for voice events, one state machine proven transition by transition in tests.
  • Encore Feature gating - A Cappella is default-off; every surface is gated.
  • Audio host - a hidden renderer window terminating the duplex audio pipeline: VAD (energy plus zero-crossing), floor control with tap / hold / idle timeout, live audio level and mic-state events.
  • Model manager and native runtime loader - download, capability probe, packaging checks.
  • STT / TTS / Brain provider tiers - a registry with a mock tier for tests, plus wake word, stop word, and named global hotkeys.
  • Conductor router - grammar-constrained routing with a headless evaluation harness measuring routing quality.
  • Conversational translator with sentence streaming, plus a headless harness measuring time-to-first-spoken-word.
  • Voice HUD - live transcript, per-agent voice indicators, and a voice/speed settings panel with live output controls.
  • WebRTC media leg (this phase) - peer termination in the audio host, signaling over the existing authenticated WebSocket, a two-channel device protocol (reliable state / unreliable realtime), QR + Bonjour pairing with desktop approval and hashed per-device tokens, honest ICE/STUN/TURN configuration, a paired-device management panel with immediate revocation, and remote session semantics that drive the same floor controller a local hotkey does.

Notes

  • The phone is a remote microphone and speaker, not a second brain: one STT, one TTS, one router, all still in the main process.
  • The desktop cannot run echo cancellation on the remote path (the reference signal lives on the phone). It requests AEC from the device and applies its own to its own mic. Documented rather than glossed.
  • The Cloudflare quick tunnel cannot carry this media. The connection path is separate from the web-desktop tunnel, and both the settings copy and the docs say so.

Validation

Local, post-merge with rc:

  • npx vitest run - 38,127 passed, 108 skipped, 0 failed
  • npm run lint:eslint - clean
  • npx prettier --check . - clean
  • ./node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit against tsconfig.lint.json, tsconfig.main.json, tsconfig.cli.json, tsconfig.scripts.json - clean

CI on this PR is green across lint-and-format, both ubuntu-latest shards, and both windows-latest shards (run 31902064225). The first run caught a real single-OS blind spot: a test asserted the macOS-only askForMediaAccess was called on every platform. Fixed in 1e68219 by pinning the platform per case.

Still to verify by hand

Everything that needs a second physical device: pairing a phone or browser client over LAN, holding push-to-talk and hearing the reply in the configured voice, repeating over a Tailscale overlay and over cellular through a TURN relay, and revoking mid-conversation. The step-by-step checklist with the expected candidate type for each path is in docs/architecture/acappella/transport-and-pairing.md under "Acceptance: what to check by hand".

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~180 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 06e1f

The voice stack can currently mis-handle multi-sentence replies, lose device pairing after an ordinary disconnect, leave audio unavailable without useful diagnostics, create duplicate reconnects, and expose pairing credentials through malformed-request logging. These concrete correctness, availability, and security risks make the PR unsafe to merge until the affected behaviors are fixed or explicitly accepted by the owners.

Assert against MIN_SUPPORTED_DEVICE_PROTOCOL_VERSION instead of the literal 1.

parseClientMessage returns MIN_SUPPORTED_DEVICE_PROTOCOL_VERSION - 1 for a missing version. The literal 1 makes the test fail if that floor is ever raised, even though the behaviour under test is unchanged.

Rename this case and add a real three-service case.

The test name says three services. The input names two providers, and the expected statement joins two services.

Make DEFAULT_REMOTE_AUDIO_CONFIG immutable.

Dropped hops break the rolling window the models depend on.

While busy is true, the hop is discarded and never reaches melSession. The mel and embedding rings are a continuous rolling history, so a discarded hop removes 80 ms of context from the window that the classifier scores. Under CPU pressure this lowers detection accuracy, which is different from the one-window latency the comment describes.

Consider holding the most recent dropped hop and feeding it when the chain finishes, so the ring stays continuous.

♻️ Sketch
 	let busy = false;
+	/** The hop that arrived while the chain was running, so the ring stays continuous. */
+	let pending: { hop: Float32Array; phrases: readonly WakePhrase[] } | null = null;
+
+	function pump(hop: Float32Array, phrases: readonly WakePhrase[]): void {
+		busy = true;
+		void advance(hop, phrases)
+			.catch((err: Error) => {
+				logger.warn(`Wake inference failed: ${err.message}`, LOG_CONTEXT);
+			})
+			.finally(() => {
+				busy = false;
+				const next = pending;
+				pending = null;
+				if (next) pump(next.hop, next.phrases);
+			});

 		score(hop, phrases) {
-			if (!busy) {

+			if (busy) pending = { hop: Float32Array.from(hop), phrases };

Note that the caller reuses its hop buffer, so a deferred hop must be copied.

Consider serializing negotiation per peer.

acceptOffer awaits peer.acceptOffer without a per-device lock. A renegotiation offer that arrives while the previous one is still between setRemoteDescription and setLocalDescription runs concurrently on the same RTCPeerConnection. The second call then throws an invalid-state error, and the catch block closes a connection that was otherwise healthy.

The current capture path feeds 320-sample frames, so this is not reachable today, but PcmBuffer is exported and any caller that pushes a large array defeats the documented cap. Slice the retained tail when a single chunk exceeds the cap.

Why each half is there:

- **"the computer you paired with"** names the destination. A microphone prompt that does not say
where the audio goes is the prompt people deny.
- **"only while you are holding the talk button"** is a commitment the code keeps
(see [[audio-session]]) and the OS enforces on the Push to Talk path
(see [[background-and-entitlements]]). Do not write it unless both remain true.

Make the microphone permission copy match all transmission gestures.

interaction-model.md supports a tap that latches the floor after the finger leaves the button. Push to Talk also provides a system transmission control. Therefore, “only while you are holding the talk button” is not always true. Update the copy to describe an active talk control, or remove the latched and system-control paths.

**Gate 2: is anything capturing at all?** With `useManualAudio = true` and audio disabled, the
WebRTC audio unit is not running. If the app also runs on-device wake-word detection, that
capture is a **separate, local-only** `AVAudioEngine` tap whose buffers never reach an encoder and
never leave the process. It exists so the phone can hear "hey maestro"; it is the one capture that
runs with the floor closed, and it is why the orange microphone indicator can be lit while nothing
is being transmitted. The UI must say which of the two states it is in, in words, in the HUD. See

Stop the local wake-word tap when the app leaves the foreground.

This section permits an AVAudioEngine tap while the floor is closed but does not limit it to the foreground. background-and-entitlements.md states that wake-word detection is not supported in the background.

## The alternative: foregrounded with a dimmed screen

For iOS 15, for a user who does not want the system channel indicator, and as the fallback while
the entitlement request is pending:

```swift
UIApplication.shared.isIdleTimerDisabled = true
// plus a large dark UI, and an explicit "Keep awake" toggle the user controls
```

The app stays foreground, the audio session stays active, and everything in [[audio-session]]
works unchanged. It requires no entitlement and no review conversation.

- **Try every entry in `hosts`, in order, in parallel, and take the first socket that opens.**
`hosts` is ordered with the desktop's primary interface first, and it can contain overlay
addresses (Tailscale allocates from `100.64.0.0/10`) that work from anywhere. A phone that only
tries `hosts[0]` fails on any Mac with more than one interface, which is most of them.
- **Show the `fingerprint` on the phone** after connecting, next to the same four characters shown
on the desktop. It is derived from the server token, so a matching pair means the phone is
talking to the machine whose screen the user is looking at. This is the only man-in-the-middle
check the user has; do not hide it behind a details view.

Select the first authenticated endpoint, not the first open socket.

A stale host or unrelated listener can open before the intended desktop. The current rule can select it before authentication and fingerprint verification, then prevent fallback to the other hosts. Complete authentication, verify the expected fingerprint, and adopt only that connection. Close the slower candidates.

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/RunMaestro/Maestro "candidateType" "overlay" TURN relay iOS client connection pairing

💡 Result:

The query appears to conflate several distinct technical concepts related to WebRTC networking and UI layer management in the context of the Maestro project [1][2]. 1. WebRTC Networking: There is no evidence of a direct relationship between the specific term "candidateType overlay" and standard WebRTC TURN/relay connection pairing. In WebRTC, candidate types (such as host, srflx, prflx, and relay) describe the source of an ICE candidate [1][2]. "Relay" candidates are those obtained via a TURN server. Connection pairing occurs during the ICE negotiation phase where the client and remote peer exchange these candidates. 2. Maestro Context: The term "overlay" in the Maestro ecosystem refers exclusively to UI layer management [2][3]. Specifically: - OverlayLayer: A system for managing UI components (like modals or drawers) in the renderer, which uses a specific configuration type: {type: 'overlay', priority: number, blocksLowerLayers: boolean,...} [2]. - UseModalLayer/LayerStack: Hooks used to register, unregister, and update these UI layers, often implemented via React portals to escape the main stacking context [2][4][3]. 3. Pairing and Connectivity: Pairing in Maestro involves a QR/manual code exchange to establish a secure WebSocket connection between a mobile client and the desktop application [1]. This WebSocket connection is used to mirror Electron IPC handlers 1:1, enabling a responsive remote-control interface on mobile devices [5]. Connectivity issues and relay requirements for this WebSocket bridge are handled by the infrastructure (such as Cloudflare tunnels) rather than WebRTC-style TURN relay mechanisms [2][6]. If you are experiencing connection issues with a mobile client in a WebRTC-based application, you should focus on your ICE server configuration (verifying TURN credentials and connectivity) and standard WebRTC diagnostic tools like chrome://webrtc-internals, rather than UI overlay configurations.

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/RunMaestro/Maestro "Direct (via NAT)" "candidateType"

💡 Result:

In the context of WebRTC and ICE (Interactive Connectivity Establishment), Direct (via NAT) is not a standard ICE candidate type. Standard ICE candidate types defined in RFC 8445 are host, srflx (server reflexive), relay, and prflx (peer reflexive). The term Direct (via NAT) does not correspond to a technical identifier in WebRTC protocols. Based on the provided search results, which focus on the Maestro project's architecture and codebase, this term is not utilized as a WebRTC candidate type within that system or standard networking documentation.

🌐 Web query:

"docs/ios-client/connection-and-pairing.md" Maestro

💡 Result:

There is no official documentation file named docs/ios-client/connection-and-pairing.md within the official Maestro framework documentation [1][2]. The connection and pairing process for Maestro on iOS is primarily managed through the XCTest-based driver [3]. For standard usage on iOS Simulators, Maestro automatically handles the communication and lifecycle management [3]. If you are looking for information regarding connecting or pairing with physical iOS devices, please note that official support has been a subject of development and community workarounds [4][5]: 1. Communication: Maestro communicates with iOS devices via an XCTest HTTP server running on port 22087 [3][4]. 2. Physical Device Setup: Because native support for physical devices has historically been limited [6], community-driven solutions (such as maestro-ios-device) have provided methods to build and install an XCTest runner on the device and establish the necessary port forwarding to localhost [7][6]. 3. Technical Implementation: The core communication logic is handled by the XCTestDriverClient, which manages HTTP requests to the XCTest runner on the iOS device [3]. For the most up-to-date and authoritative information, you should refer to the official Maestro documentation at https://docs.maestro.dev [1].

🌐 Web query:

"Host candidate. Same network or an overlay. No infrastructure in the path."

💡 Result:

In the context of the Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) protocol, a host candidate is a transport address—comprising an IP address and port—that is obtained directly from a local network interface on a host [1][2]. This interface can be physical (e.g., Ethernet, Wi-Fi) or logical (e.g., a Virtual Private Network or tunnel) [1][3]. Because a host candidate is derived from the local interface, the agent binds to a port on that interface to communicate [1][2]. This type of candidate is intended to enable direct, peer-to-peer communication between endpoints without the need for intermediary servers (like STUN or TURN servers) to relay or translate the traffic [4][5][6]. As such, when a connection is successfully established using a host candidate, there is no network infrastructure—such as a NAT or relay server—positioned in the media path between the two peers [4][6]. Host candidates are considered the most efficient connection type and are assigned the highest priority in the ICE process because they avoid the latency, cost, and complexity of intermediary relay infrastructure [4][5][7]. If endpoints are on the same network or have direct reachability, host candidates typically provide the fastest and most direct path for data exchange [4][6].

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/RunMaestro/Maestro/pull "candidateType" "lan"

💡 Result:

The term "candidateType" does not appear as a standard technical concept in LAN (Local Area Network) or general networking terminology. Based on the available technical documentation for the Maestro project, "candidateType" is not a standard configuration parameter or network type [1][2][3][4][5][6]. It is highly likely that this term is either a misinterpretation of a different technical parameter or specific to a private or undocumented codebase. If you are encountering this term within a specific software or framework, it may refer to an internal application-specific identifier (e.g., an agent type or session configuration) rather than a networking protocol or LAN technology.

🌐 Web query:

"Same network or an overlay" "No infrastructure in the path"

💡 Result:

The choice between using an "overlay" versus the "same network" (often called "no-overlay" or underlay-routed) represents a fundamental design decision in network architecture, particularly in data center and Kubernetes environments. 1. Overlay Networks An overlay is a logical network built on top of a physical "underlay" infrastructure (typically routers, switches, and cabling) [1][2]. Mechanism: It uses tunneling protocols like VXLAN or Geneve to encapsulate packets [1][2]. The underlay treats these encapsulated packets as standard payload, unaware of the virtual network's internal topology [1][3]. Benefits: Overlays provide extreme flexibility, allowing for arbitrary network topologies, multi-tenancy, and security policies that are decoupled from the physical hardware [1][2]. Trade-offs: Because overlay traffic is encapsulated, it introduces overhead (packet size/MTU issues) and can complicate troubleshooting, as physical network tools often cannot see the inner traffic directly [1][2]. 2. Same Network (No-Overlay / Underlay Routing) This approach routes traffic directly over the physical underlay without encapsulation [4][5]. Mechanism: In environments like Kubernetes, "no-overlay" modes (e.g., in OVN-Kubernetes or OKD) use protocols like BGP to advertise routes for pod subnets directly to the physical network fabric [4][5]. Benefits: By removing encapsulation, this method eliminates overhead, improves performance for east-west traffic, and makes pod IP reachability directly visible to existing network devices [4][5]. Trade-offs: It requires the underlying physical infrastructure to be capable of and configured to handle the additional routing complexity, such as supporting BGP or maintaining larger route tables [4][5]. 3. "No Infrastructure in the Path" This phrase typically refers to decentralized or peer-to-peer (P2P) mesh networking (e.g., FIPS, N2N) rather than enterprise data center architectures [6][7][8]. Mechanism: In these designs, nodes connect directly over shared media (like Bluetooth, WiFi, or raw Ethernet) or form an ad-hoc overlay over the internet without requiring central infrastructure, VPN concentrators, or coordinating servers [6][7][9]. Function: These systems aim to enable connectivity in environments where centralized network control or stable underlay infrastructure is unavailable, unreliable, or untrusted [9][8]. [6][7][10][9][8][4][5][1][2]

"Direct (via NAT)" "Relayed" "Connecting" "candidateType"

💡 Result:

In the context of the Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) framework used for network traversal (such as in WebRTC), candidate types define the nature and reachability of a network path [1][2]. These types determine the connection's priority, efficiency, and infrastructure requirements [1][2][3]. The two specific types you mentioned function as follows: Direct (Host) Candidate: A host candidate represents a network address obtained directly from a local machine's interface [1][4]. It is the most efficient candidate type because it enables direct peer-to-peer communication without requiring intermediary servers [1][5]. These candidates generally have the highest priority in the ICE negotiation process [1][3]. Relayed Candidate: A relayed candidate is obtained by allocating an address on a TURN (Traversal Using Relays around NAT) server [6][1]. It acts as a fallback or last-resort option when direct (host) or reflexive connections fail, often due to restrictive firewalls or symmetric NATs [5][2]. All media traffic using this type of candidate must pass through the TURN server, which introduces additional latency and infrastructure costs [1][2][7]. In the ICE priority calculation defined by RFC 8445, host candidates are assigned the highest type preference (126), while relayed candidates are assigned the lowest (0) [2][8][3]. ICE agents will attempt to nominate the most efficient pair—starting with host and reflexive candidates—before resorting to a relayed connection [2][3]. In addition to Direct and Relayed, ICE also utilizes: - Server Reflexive (srflx): Candidates discovered by sending a STUN binding request to a server, which reveals the public IP and port mapping assigned by a NAT [6][5]. - Peer Reflexive (prflx): Candidates discovered mid-connectivity check when a packet is received from a transport address that was not previously advertised by the remote peer [4][2].

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/RunMaestro/Maestro "No candidate pair selected yet"

💡 Result:

The phrase "No candidate pair selected yet" is not a recognized error message or technical state within the Maestro codebase or documentation [1][2]. Based on the provided search results, users of the Maestro application commonly encounter error messages related to agent processes, such as "no running agents were available" or "the agent process was unavailable," particularly when attempting to submit feedback against a session [3][4]. These errors generally indicate that the application's feedback flow requires a live, active agent process, which may not be correctly detected or attached to the current session [3]. If you are encountering a message similar to "No candidate pair selected yet," it is possible that it refers to: 1. A misunderstanding or misquotation of common agent availability or connection errors [3][4]. 2. A generic placeholder or "no results" state, as Maestro uses various UI components (such as EmptyStatePlaceholder) to handle scenarios where specific data or selections are missing [5]. 3. An issue related to ICE (Interactive Connectivity Establishment) if you are investigating WebRTC or networking-related components within the application's remote access or pairing features, though such specific terminology does not appear in the available documentation [6][7][1]. To troubleshoot potential issues in Maestro: - Ensure that the agent process you are targeting is actively running [3]. - Check for multiple agent installs, which can sometimes cause ambiguity in the provider path resolved by Maestro [4][8]. - Verify that your configuration (such as SSH remotes) is correctly detected [9]. - Review the Activity Log or Sentry reports if the error is accompanied by a failure notification, as recent updates have been made to improve error messaging and surfacing [10][4][11].

Do not label every overlay host path as “Direct.” A host candidate can use an overlay interface while the overlay forwards packets through relay infrastructure. Base the label on the selected candidate pair and overlay path state, or add an overlay-relayed state.

`payload` is one `SignalingClientMessage` outbound, one `SignalingServerMessage` inbound. There is no
second port, no second token, and no separate handshake: the URL's `$TOKEN` is the server token from
the QR payload, and clearing it is what gets a frame looked at in the first place.

Do not log raw signaling frames.

Line 148 says to log the malformed frame. pair-claim and auth frames can contain code and token values. Raw logs can expose credentials and enable device impersonation until revocation. Log the operation and validation reason after redacting credentials.

The stored fingerprint is written but never read.

The comment on StoredPairing.fingerprint states the purpose: "so a second machine does not reuse it". handleSocketOpen reads the store and authenticates with the stored token without comparing stored.fingerprint against the current target. Pointing the client at a different desktop therefore sends a foreign token, gets auth-failed, and clears a pairing that was still valid for the first desktop.

Compare the fingerprint before you send auth, and treat a mismatch as "unpaired" so the code claim path runs instead.

Clear any pending reconnect before scheduling a new one.

scheduleReconnect overwrites this.reconnectTimer without clearing the previous timer. Two paths can reach it for one drop:

  • teardown(message, { terminal: false }) (the rate-limited branch) calls scheduleReconnect directly after this.socket?.close().
  • The socket close then invokes onClose, and handleSocketClose calls scheduleReconnect again because the phase is idle, not terminal.

The first timer reference is lost but still pending, so openSocket runs twice and two signaling sockets open. That is the exact "tighter loop" the rate-limited comment tries to avoid.

🔒️ Proposed fix
 	private scheduleReconnect(reason: string): void {
+		this.clearReconnect();
 		this.closePeer();

The split is the point. `client.ts` is DOM-free so the conformance suite at
`src/__tests__/acappella/conformance/` can drive it against fakes, and so the parts a phone has to
reimplement are not tangled with the parts a browser happens to provide.

The comment describes a case this test does not run.

The comment states that a non-string name is coerced to the empty string. The test sends the valid string "Pedram's iPhone". Either add the non-string claim, or move the comment to the test that covers it. In a conformance suite the comment carries the checklist reasoning, so a stale claim reads as covered ground.

Consider also asserting that startPairing() returned an offer. code: offer?.code sends undefined when pairing does not open, which turns C-02 into an unknown-code test.

Handle detached WebRTC rejections.

PeerRegistry.acceptOffer can reject during peer creation or peer.setFloor, before its try block. PeerRegistry.probeIce can reject from synchronous ICE operations or cleanup. Handle these failures before discarding the promises to prevent unhandled rejections and missing peer-error or ice-probe-result events.

@pedramamini
pedramamini force-pushed the acappella branch 3 times, most recently from d92872b to c0eedf6 Compare August 20, 2026 03:02
Adds the aCappella Encore flag and its first-party plugin definition
(com.maestro.acappella) so the voice interface is listed in the Extensions
marketplace, off by default, and searchable in Settings.

Enabling the flag only makes the Voice Setup surface reachable: no device is
opened, no model downloaded, and no socket dialled until a session is
explicitly started, so the definition declares no background service.

agents:dispatch is deliberately absent from the permission disclosure, the
same precedent as Pianola and Concerto: a spoken request resolves to an agent
and tab at runtime, which a static allowlist scope cannot name.
The main-process session owner: lifecycle, the shared state machine, a
per-session monotonic seq, and subscriber fan-out. Providers arrive at
construction so no concrete STT/Brain/TTS is ever imported here, and
nothing touches a BrowserWindow, the DOM, or a React store.

Barge-in and stop stay distinct: interrupt() cancels speech and keeps the
floor, hardStop() ends the session. Only provider-unavailable,
no-agent-matched, and dispatch-failed become session-error events;
anything else is reported to Sentry with session context and closes the
floor with listen-stop(error).

Also adds src/shared/acappella/sentences.ts, the one spoken-sentence
splitter the service and every TtsProvider must share so the
sentenceCount announced in speak-start matches the chunks that follow.
Adds src/main/ipc/handlers/acappella.ts (start/stop/submit-utterance/
interrupt/stop-word/get-roster/get-state plus the acappella:event push)
and src/main/preload/acappella.ts (window.maestro.voice.*), wired into
setupIpcHandlers(), the preload bridge, and global.d.ts.

The service, provider trio, and dispatch executor are built lazily on the
first start-session, so enabling the Encore Feature still opens no device
and downloads nothing. Events broadcast through safeSend (all windows plus
the web-desktop bridge) per the multi-window invariant. Every channel but
stop-session is gated on encoreFeatures.aCappella and throws
ACappellaDisabled when off; stop stays callable so toggling the feature off
mid-session can release the floor. start-session returns provider
substitutions so a mock-tier fallback can never be silent.
…rrel

src/main/web-server/services/index.ts re-exported seven types through a
value export. It only compiled because nothing in an isolatedModules
program reached it; the A Cappella preload type chain now does, so all
three tsconfigs failed with TS1205. Split the class from the types.
…mirror

The renderer client for the voice session: one subscription to the
acappella:event stream, a pure projection of it, and a themed HUD that
renders that projection.

- voiceSessionStore projects the stream. State is derived per event via
  EVENT_STATE (the state the service is in right after emitting it), a seq
  gap is surfaced rather than smoothed over, and a late get-state catch-up
  cannot rewind a projection the stream has already carried past.
- VoiceHud shows the bound scope, an indicator that differs in shape (not
  only hue) between listening and speaking, the streaming transcript, and
  any provider substitution. Closing it ends the session: an open floor
  behind an invisible surface is a microphone the user cannot see.
- VoiceDevHarness drives the whole pipeline by typing, through the same
  injectUtterance seam a real microphone uses. Interrupt and Stop are
  separate controls because they are separate behaviours.
- Adds acappella:submit-agent-reply. Nothing in Phase 01 produces an agent
  reply, so without it a session could never leave dispatching and speech
  was unreachable from any client.
- Moves VoiceProviderRole/Substitution into shared/acappella/providers.ts
  (re-exported from the registry) since they travel to the renderer.

Mounted once in AppShell, gated on the aCappella Encore flag; disabled it
subscribes to nothing and clears the mirrored state.
The state machine was only spot-checked. Two additions close it:

- acappella-protocol.test.ts walks the full 9x9 matrix, asserting every
  edge the table names is accepted and every pair it does not throws
  InvalidVoiceStateTransitionError, self-edges included.
- voice-session-service.test.ts records the edges the service actually
  walks. transition() is private and transcribing/routing emit no event
  of their own, so the recorder wraps the shared assert and still
  delegates to it. Each test asserts an exact edge sequence, so a
  reordered pipeline fails even when the final state is right.

20 of the 26 table edges are now driven end to end; the other 6 are
listed with the reason each is unreachable today, and a completeness
test fails if the table grows an edge that is in neither list.
…on quit

A throw from inside the TTS async iterator left speak() through its caller
rather than through closeFloorOnUnexpectedError, so a streaming voice failing
mid-sentence stranded the session in 'speaking' holding a floor nothing would
hand back. submitAgentReply now wraps the speech run, and the Sentry context is
a parameter so acappella.speak and acappella.runTurn stay distinguishable.

Registering the IPC handlers now also registers app.on('will-quit') to dispose
the service, following the marketplace.ts precedent: the mock tier holds no OS
device but a real microphone will.

speaking -> error moves from DEFENSIVE_EDGES to DRIVEN_EDGES, driven through a
new FakeTts.speakError seam; 21 of 26 table edges are now driven end to end.
Gives the hidden ?acappellaAudio window a real job: capture the mic through
Chromium's AEC/noise-suppression/auto-gain chain, resample to 16 kHz mono in an
AudioWorklet, and play TTS back through the same AudioContext so the echo
canceller has a reference signal.

- src/shared/acappella/audio-host.ts: the wire contract. Frames ride their own
  high-frequency channel so a status listener never digs through 50 PCM buffers
  a second; all three channels use send, not invoke.
- pcm-worklet.ts carries its fractional read position across render quanta.
  Resetting per block measures right in aggregate but leaves a discontinuity
  every 128 samples, which at 48 kHz is an audible 375 Hz buzz.
- capture.ts classifies every getUserMedia failure. A denied permission or a
  yanked device must not present as a session that is merely quiet, so
  'audio-capture-failed' joins VOICE_SESSION_ERROR_CODES.
- playback.ts restores gain on flush and drops decodes that were in flight
  during one, so a barge-in cannot leave the next utterance silent or restart
  speech the user just talked over.
- The worklet loads via Vite ?worker&url. An inlined Blob URL would be blocked

Shared Web Audio test double added at __tests__/helpers/mockWebAudio.ts.
Route captured 20 ms frames to the active STT provider while the session
holds the floor, drop them (counted, batched into one log line) otherwise,
and keep the last 500 ms in a fixed-capacity ring so the audio spoken
before a wake word or a barge-in still reaches the recogniser.

Barge-in ducks output on the first candidate frame and flushes playback
plus cancels the speech run on a confirmed speech-start, 80 ms later. The
VAD gained a per-frame candidate flag to make that head start possible,
and is reset on entry to speaking so an open floor cannot swallow the
first interruption.
One module every floor surface drives: press/release from the Phase 06
hotkey, the HUD button, and the Phase 10 phone button, with the mode
deciding what a release means. Tap keeps the session open hands-free;
hold endpoints the utterance on release rather than waiting out the VAD
silence the user already told us was over.

The idle timeout is the backstop for every way a floor gets stuck open,
and runs only while the session is listening so a slow agent is never
mistaken for an abandoned mic. Press is idempotent while held (key
repeat), a press over speech interrupts rather than ending the session,
and actions are serialised so a double tap cannot open two sessions.
…HUD meter

Adds two protocol events so a client can see the microphone without ever
receiving PCM: `audio-level` (a downsampled RMS, ~20/s) and `mic-state`
(permission, device, and availability).

- level-meter.ts downsamples in frames, not milliseconds, reports a true RMS
  per window, and stops republishing silence once the meter has fallen.
- mic-state.ts projects the audio host's status stream into a mic state,
  publishing only real changes plus every device change.
- The HUD's listening ring is now driven by the real level, subscribed inside
  the indicator so the transcript does not re-render at meter rate.
- A denied microphone gets a calm warning row with an Open Privacy Settings
  button (macOS/Windows) over the new acappella:open-mic-settings channel,
  and it replaces the red audio-capture-failed row rather than doubling it.
Adds the echo development recogniser and the audio bridge that finally
connects Phase 02's four standalone audio modules to the voice session.

- echo-stt.ts: a dev-only provider that segments PCM with its own VAD and
  reports the speech it heard, with partials, simulated decoder latency,
  and the text-in seam the dev harness drives.
- audio-bridge.ts: the composition root. Capture follows the floor,
  frames reach the recogniser, the level meter and microphone tracker
  publish onto the protocol stream, and TTS chunks play back through the
  same host that captures.
- SttProvider.acceptsAudio decides whether a microphone opens at all, so
  a text-in provider never costs the user a permission prompt.
- The STT slot defaults to echo-stt in a development build; a packaged
  build gets the mock, silently, because nobody asked for anything.
- ipcMain listeners for acappella:audio-frame and acappella:audio-status,
  both sender-checked, plus playback commands derived from speak-end.
…ubscriber

Line coverage over vad.ts, audio-pipeline.ts, and floor-control.ts found
three unexercised paths and one real defect: setFloor() called
onFloorChange unguarded, so a throwing subscriber escaped closeFloor()
before its stopSession() and left a live session behind a shut floor.
The audio bridge is that subscriber and it sends IPC, so a destroyed host
window reaches it.

New cases: a throwing floor subscriber is reported and the rest of the
action still runs, device-change keeps the pre-roll that mic-error drops,
and a one-sample frame measures instead of dividing by zero.
…tually bound

docs/voice-mode.md is written from the source rather than the plan: the
provider and egress tables come from VOICE_PROVIDER_CATALOG, the sizes from
VOICE_MODEL_CATALOG through formatSize, the phrases and thresholds from
voice-controls.ts, and the hotkey defaults from global-hotkeys.ts. Linked
from docs.json and from the Encore Features table.

The six screenshots are real captures of the running app, driven over CDP.
No pairing QR is among them: that payload carries the server token, so a
screenshot of one is a published credential.

Driving the real panel surfaced a real bug. Main registers a voice hotkey
from defaultGlobalHotkeyKeys(id) whenever the stored shortcuts map has no
entry, which is the state of every profile that predates these hotkeys, so
the panel was saying 'Click to set' and 'Registered as (none)' about a combo
that was live on Command+Alt+V. It now reads the registry's own keys and
falls back to the definition default. A cleared binding is an empty array
rather than a missing entry, so clearing still reads as unset.
Boot-time gating was already correct on every surface. What was not covered
anywhere was the TRANSITION, because every gate test in eleven phases starts
from a flag that was already off.

Turning the feature off disposed the audio bridge and closed the hidden window
and stopped there, which left three things running behind a switch its owner
believed was off: the voice session, the loaded inference pipeline holding
native runtimes and mapped model files, and the whole paired-device transport
with its Bonjour advert and its connected phones. A phone holding the floor at
the moment of the toggle kept holding it.

shutdownACappellaForDisable() is now what the encoreFeatures watcher runs. It
deliberately does not dispose the hotkey installation or the transport: both
are built once per process at handler registration, so tearing them down would
make switching the feature back on a no-op until the next restart. The hotkeys
already release their combos through their own watcher; the transport gets
standDown() instead, which drops the advert, cancels a pairing window, and
disconnects devices without revoking any of them. Switching the feature off
says "stop", not "forget my phone".

The signaling adapter could not tell "a transport exists" from "the feature is
on", which is exactly the condition that stops being true once the transport is
kept alive on purpose. It now checks featureEnabled(), so a device mid-handshake
when the flag flips gets the stated refusal rather than continuing to be served.

The debug-package collector ran the voice self-test unconditionally, and the
self-test dlopens every native runtime. It is free today only because no runtime
is a declared dependency yet. Gated, with selfTestSkipped kept separate from
selfTestError: a support package has to distinguish "we chose not to run it"
from "it ran and blew up".

Also removes thirteen exports with zero references anywhere, tests included
(eight provider factory wrappers whose doc comment claimed a convention with no
users, setModelDownloader, CANDIDATE_TYPE_DESCRIPTIONS, formatModelsSize,
WAKE_SAMPLE_RATE, providerFailureSessionCode), folds the byte-identical
CANDIDATE_TYPE_LABELS copies into shared, and replaces five copies of
flags.aCappella === true with one shared reader. Five copies of a flag read is
five chances for one surface to drift into truthiness, and each of those
surfaces controls a microphone, a global shortcut, or a network advert.

46 new tests, including three that toggle the flag with a real client connected
in the conformance world.
The suite passed but reported two unhandled rejections: removing the temporary
user-data directory renamed devices.json.tmp into a directory that was no longer
there.

Draining with whenPersisted() was not enough. noteConnected() is fire-and-forget
off a peer reaching connected, and it awaits load() before it persists, so a
write can be enqueued a microtask AFTER a caller has looked at the queue and
found it empty. The drain settles what was already queued and nothing more.

close() sets the flag synchronously first, so a persist that arrives later is
dropped rather than written, and only then drains. That is also the shape a real
shutdown wants: the last word on the device list is the one already on its way to
disk, not one that starts after the app decided to stop.
Found by driving the running app rather than by a test. Every routed sentence
landed on one agent: "hey maestro, ask Scratch to check the disk usage" opened a
tab on the agent named Maestro, and named it "Scratch And Check The" because the
agent name it should have stripped was still sitting in the prompt.

The keyword brain matched the longest agent name appearing anywhere in the
utterance, and "maestro" appears in every utterance, because that is how you
address the conductor. An agent called Maestro is not an edge case either: it is
what you name the agent working on Maestro itself.

Only the LEADING address is removed, so "ask Maestro about the release" and "what
is maestro working on" still mean that agent. This is the mock tier, which is
also what the default selection resolves to before any model is installed, so it
is what a new user hears first.
Seen on screen in the running app. The badge read "1 of 0" while a sentence was
being spoken.

The protocol already says why: speak-start carries a sentenceCount that is a
LOWER BOUND while streaming is true, because the scheduler starts speaking
sentence one while the agent is still writing the rest, and it says in as many
words that a client must treat the total as provisional. The renderer store
dropped the streaming flag on the floor, so the HUD could not have honoured it.

The store now carries the flag and the badge says "1 of 1+" while the reply is
still arriving, and the plain "2 of 3" once the whole reply is in hand. Showing
the larger of the two beats clamping the index, which would freeze the counter on
the first sentence of every streamed answer.
… player

Minimizing collapsed the widget to a floating pill parked at the HUD's own
position, which is the one place a "get this out of my way" control must not
leave anything: the pill sat over the same work the widget had been covering.

It now leaves the workspace entirely and its indicator is VoiceStatusIndicator,
in the Left Bar header beside NowPlayingIndicator, which is the same bargain
already struck for audio: something running while its widget is away has to stay
visible somewhere. Clicking it brings the HUD back and touches nothing else.

The invariant this feature turns on is unchanged and now has a test on both
sides of it: minimize must leave an indicator behind (a microphone is not like
playback - silence is not evidence that it stopped), and close must not, because
close ends the session and a pill outliving it would claim an open floor that is
not there. That is also why the indicator watches `minimized` alone rather than
`minimized || dismissed`.

Sheds its label on a narrow sidebar and on the collapsed rail, exactly as the
now-playing pill does, but never sheds the glyph: the narrow sidebar must not be
the one place a live microphone is invisible.
The palette already had voice entries. Typing "voice" found exactly one of them:
"Show Voice Transcript", which cannot start anything. The two that launch a
session are labelled "Talk to <agent>" and "Talk to the Conductor", and palette
search reads LABELS, so the feature was effectively unreachable from the one
place people go looking for a capability they cannot remember the hotkey for.

Renaming them would have been the wrong fix - "Talk to Backend" is the clearest
possible label for what it does. Instead QuickAction gains an opt-in `keywords`
list that search falls back to. Nothing else in the palette declares one, so
every other command matches exactly as it did; this is a second chance for the
handful whose name is not the word a user types, not a broadening of the rule.
Voice entries claim "voice", "acappella", "talk", "mic" and friends, because
nobody searches for the product name and everybody searches for "voice".

Two more things while in here. "Talk to the Conductor" called
`window.maestro.voice.start()` straight through rather than going via the hook,
so it was the one launch path that did not un-hide the HUD - it could open a
microphone whose only surface was still minimized. It now shares
`talkToConductor()` with everything else. And a "Show Voice HUD" entry appears
while a session is minimized, mirroring the media player's recovery command, so
getting back to the controls never depends on finding a small pill.

buildVoiceCommands had no test file at all; it has one now, and the
discoverability cases run through the real filter rather than an approximation
of it, which is how this bug hid in the first place.
There was no microphone in the composer on a desktop at all. The one that
existed is gated on `isCoarsePointer()`, because it drives Web Speech dictation
and that is a touch affordance - so a mouse-and-keyboard user with A Cappella
switched on had no button anywhere in the composer to start talking with.

The new one sits under Send rather than in the toolbar row, and that placement
is the argument: speaking is a way of SUBMITTING a message, so it belongs with
the other submit control instead of among the per-tab toggles. It is accented
and pulses while the floor is open, because it is the only button in that column
that can leave a microphone running, and it must never look the same open as
shut.

Exactly one microphone is ever on screen. The toolbar's dictation button now
takes `voiceHandledElsewhere` and stands down when A Cappella owns the
composer, so a touch device with the Encore Feature on does not grow a second
mic wired to the same toggle. With the feature off, nothing moves: dictation
stays precisely where it was.
The microphone under Send makes that column taller than the textarea, and the
composer box stretches to match it. The pill row sat directly under the text,
so the extra height fell BELOW the pills - image editing, attach prompt,
expand, command mode, access, history and the model/effort pills all floated
mid-box with dead space beneath them.

mt-auto pins the row to the bottom of the box, where it belongs whatever the
Send column's height turns out to be. With A Cappella off nothing moves: the
box is only as tall as its content, so the auto margin collapses to zero.
On a fresh boot the capability gate reported every local slot satisfied and
`canStartSession: true` for runtimes that are not in this build at all. It asked
the loader for the LAST REMEMBERED FAILURE, and nothing had attempted a load
yet, so "never tried" read as "fine". The same call after any load attempt said
the opposite, which made readiness depend on the order the app happened to do
things in: running the voice self-test flipped every local slot from satisfied
to unavailable without a single thing changing on disk.

What that cost a user: Voice Setup defaults all three slots to Local, the gate
said go, so they downloaded 1.5 GB of Whisper, Kokoro and Qwen3, and the session
still died inside a provider's start() because whisper.cpp, ONNX Runtime and
llama.cpp are deliberately not dependencies yet.

Two of the reasons a runtime cannot load are knowable from the registry alone -
it is not a dependency of this build, or there is no binary for this platform -
and `declineBeforeLoading` already knew both before importing anything. That
answer is now reachable as `knownNativeRuntimeUnavailability()`, which prefers a
remembered failure and otherwise falls back to the static facts, and the gate
reads it instead of the remembered-only view. Asking records nothing, so the
debug package still lists failures that HAPPENED rather than answers to
hypothetical questions.

The gate now blocks those slots up front and names the runtime, which is also
the sentence Voice Setup prints above the Download button rather than after the
gigabyte.
Clicking Talk in a build without the native runtimes produced a 494-character
block of red text in the HUD, two thirds of which was one sentence repeated
three times: "Use a hosted provider or the mock tier for this slot until the
local runtime ships."

That repetition is structural rather than unlucky. The three local providers sit
on two native runtimes, so a build without them blocks speech in, speech out and
routing at the same instant with the same fix, and `readinessErrorMessage` paired
every blocking slot with its own copy of the recovery. A wall of red is read as
"it broke" rather than as the instruction it actually is, which loses the one
thing the message exists for.

When every blocking slot suggests the same action it is now stated once, at the
end, after the details that name what is missing. When the actions genuinely
differ - a denied microphone AND a missing model, two problems with two
different next steps - each slot keeps its own, and a slot with no suggestion
never inherits another slot's by being counted as agreeing with it.

The runtime suggestion drops "for this slot" to go with it. The detail it rides
behind already names the slot, so it was redundant inline, and it was wrong once
hoisted to cover three of them.

Measured on the running app: 494 characters down to 312, and the same three
missing runtimes are still each named with the fix.
A Cappella does not open itself at startup, but it looked like it did. The HUD
renders whenever `error` is set, and the store never cleared that field: a
refusal from a session the user had already ended stayed on screen indefinitely,
so a voice panel nobody asked for sat over the workspace until it was dismissed
by hand.

`listen-stop` with reason `stopped` now clears it. That event is the session
ending by explicit user action, and an error describes the session that carried
it - once that session is gone the message is describing nothing. A session that
FAILED emits no `listen-stop` at all (see `fail()`, which parks in `error`
without tearing down), so the refusal still stays up to be read, which is the
whole point of refusing with a reason.

Verified against the running app: cold boot has no voice session, no HUD, and no
audio-host window; a failed start shows the refusal; ending it clears the HUD.
The type-an-utterance box appeared over the workspace at startup with no
session, no microphone and nobody having asked for one. `showDevHarness`
defaulted to `process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'`, and the harness is also
one of the reasons the HUD renders - so every development build opened a voice
widget on launch. That is the one thing a voice feature must never do, and it
is why A Cappella looked like it was starting itself when it never was.

It now defaults to OFF everywhere and opts in through localStorage
(`maestro.acappella.devHarness`), read once at mount so flipping it cannot make
a widget appear underneath someone mid-session. The harness stays a reason the
HUD renders, because opting in IS a trigger: whoever sets that key wants the box
to type into. What changed is that it no longer opts itself in on every
developer's behalf.

While in the visibility logic: the render gate and the Escape layer had drifted
apart. The layer was registered for `active || devHarness` while the widget also
rendered for an error or a microphone problem, so the HUD explaining why voice
would not start drew an ESC pill that Escape did not reach. Both now read one
`visible` expression, so anything on screen is closable with the key.

Verified on the running app: 100 seconds idle after boot starts zero sessions
and creates no audio-host window; clicking the composer microphone opens the HUD
with the refusal; Escape and the ESC pill both close it and return to idle.
Opening A Cappella in one window drew an identical HUD in every window. Voice
events are broadcast to all renderers like every other main -> renderer push
(the multi-window invariant in `utils/safe-send.ts`), and nothing downstream
filtered them - so one microphone appeared to be open several times over, and
closing the HUD in the wrong window ended a session someone else had started.

The session now records WHICH window opened it, and each window decides for
itself whether to draw a surface. That follows the existing architecture rather
than fighting it: broadcast from main, filter in the renderer, exactly as
`useOwnedSessionGate` does for agent-scoped process events.

Resolution happens at the trigger, where the evidence is. A click carries an IPC
sender, so `windowRegistry.findBySender` names the window the user actually
clicked in; a global hotkey, a wake word, and a paired phone carry no sender at
all, so those land on the focused window (falling back to the primary). Both
helpers live on the registry, and `windows.ts` now shares the first one instead
of keeping its own copy.

`windowId` rides on `wake`, the FIRST event of a session, so no window has to
render before it knows whether the session is its own. It is also on the
snapshot, because a window that reloaded mid-session never saw that event and
would otherwise disown a session that is genuinely its.

One rule, one place: `useOwnsVoiceSession` is used by both the HUD and the Left
Bar indicator, so a session can never be hidden in one and shown in the other.
It gates every session-derived reason to render - live session, refusal, and
microphone trouble all describe ONE session, which belongs to one window. The
dev harness stays ungated, being a per-window opt-in by construction.

Closing the owning window now ends the session. A session is shown by exactly
one window, so without that, closing it would leave an open microphone with no
surface anywhere - the same failure the HUD's close button exists to prevent,
reached by a different route.

Verified with two real windows on the running app: a cold boot shows nothing in
either; triggering in the secondary opens the HUD there and NOT in the primary,
with the session stamped `windowId: d0e799e3...`; triggering in the primary does
the reverse; and closing the owning window returns the session to idle.
Two microphones sat on one screen doing the same thing. The composer's Send
column already owns that button - it is where speaking a message belongs, next
to the other way of submitting one - so the header's copy was the same action a
second time, in a strip that is already the busiest row in the app.

Nothing is lost with it. Everything the header dropdown offered is in the
command palette: talk to this agent, talk to the Conductor, show the HUD, toggle
the transcript, end the session. The palette is in fact the only surface for
three of those, since the composer microphone talks to the agent on screen and
the Left Bar menu to the agent under the cursor.

`VoicePillMenu` is now unreferenced except by its own accessibility test. Left
in place rather than deleted, pending a call on whether the header-anchored
placement guard in that test is worth keeping a component for.

Docs and the surface counts in the neighbouring comments follow: voice-mode.md
now names the composer microphone as the click-to-start surface, and the header
step is gone from the conversation acceptance checklist.
…d download

Three gaps found reviewing the branch before pushing.

**CLAUDE.md had no A Cappella at all.** It is 15 subsystem directories under
`src/main/acappella/` plus its own renderer components tree, which is the scale
at which Cue and Plugins each earned an entry, and an agent sent to work in it
had no index and no warning. It now has a Voice vernacular section pointing at
the existing architecture docs rather than duplicating them, three Key Files
rows, and the three invariants that were each a shipped bug this session:
nothing starts itself, one session belongs to one window, and a missing
capability is refused by name rather than substituted.

**The user docs invited a 1.5 GB download for a path that cannot run.**
voice-mode.md defaults every slot to Local and offers a "Fully local" bundle,
but whisper.cpp, ONNX Runtime and llama.cpp are `declared: false` and not in
this build. The capability gate now refuses those slots up front by name, so the
docs say so too, before the download rather than after it.

**Two behaviour changes had no test.** `VoiceStatusIndicator` gained the
`useOwnsVoiceSession` gate with no coverage of its own - the hook was unit
tested, its use was not, which is precisely the "hidden in one surface, shown in
the other" drift the shared hook exists to prevent. And the header microphone
removal had nothing holding it removed. `MainPanelHeader.test.tsx` mocked
`selectACappellaEnabled` to false, which would have made any such assertion
vacuous; the mock is flipped ON so the new one can actually fail.

README is deliberately untouched: it lists no Encore Feature at all - not Cue,
not Pianola, not Concerto - so adding a Beta feature whose local tier cannot yet
run would break that convention twice over.

Full suite green: 38,375 passed, 108 skipped.

Six rebuilds produced a session that said "Listening" and never heard a word.
Four separate things were wrong, and each one hid the next.

**Nothing in a packaged build could consume audio.** `echo-stt` - the only
provider that reads PCM without a model or an API key - was registered
`isAvailable: isDevelopmentBuild`. So a packaged app resolved speech-to-text to
`mock-stt`, which declares `acceptsAudio = false` and drops every frame, and the
audio bridge correctly declined to open a capture device for it. The microphone
was never touched. It now ships in every build, named for what it does
("Microphone check"), because the question "does my microphone reach Maestro"
must be answerable without a download or a credit card.

**The downgrade was silent by design.** A DEFAULT the build cannot run fell back
to the mock without recording a substitution, on the reasoning that nobody asked
for it. But that is exactly the fact that explains a deaf session, and it existed
only inside the resolver. It is now reported like any other substitution.

**"Listening" could not say it was deaf.** The state machine was telling the
truth - the floor really was open - so the HUD had nothing to render. The
resolved STT's `acceptsAudio` now travels on `provider-state`, and a session that
cannot hear says so in the HUD instead of impersonating a working one.

**There was no way to choose a microphone.** `enumerateDevices` appeared nowhere
in the codebase and the capture constraints carried no `deviceId`, so A Cappella
always took the OS default with no way to see or change that. There is now a
picker in the HUD (where "nothing is being heard" is actually discovered) and in
Voice Setup, both driving one hook and one persisted setting so they cannot
disagree. The device is requested with `exact`, so a busy or unplugged input
fails loudly rather than silently recording a different room.

Verified on the running app with a real microphone: 8 devices enumerated, the
Shure selected, 111 audio-level events and 18 partial transcripts in six
seconds, a final transcript of 26.9s of speech, and a dispatch into a live
agent. The whole path - device, capture, VAD, recogniser, router, dispatch -
runs end to end.

… why voice went quiet

The microphone check hears real audio and reports how long you spoke for. That
measurement was being routed like any other transcript, so live agents were
receiving prompts such as "Echo utterance 4: 1.5s of speech." and answering them
at the user's expense, having been told nothing. It looked like broken speech
recognition; it was a meter wired to a model.

A recogniser now declares whether its transcripts are WORDS SOMEONE SAID
(`transcribesSpeech`, absent meaning true, which every real engine is). A turn
from a diagnostic one ends at the transcript: the HUD still shows it, so the
microphone is still proven, the floor reopens so the meter keeps working, and no
agent is told anything. The guard is one flag, so a test also pins that an
ordinary recogniser still routes - reading it backwards would silence every real
provider, which is worse than the bug it fixes.

Adds Voice diagnostics to Settings > Plugins > A Cappella, because the failure
this feature keeps producing is silence: the HUD says "Listening", no words
appear, and every layer looks fine from outside. It answers the three questions
in the order the stages fail in - is a microphone producing signal, does the
recogniser hear audio and does it transcribe words, and what did the event
stream actually say - plus a copy button, since the timings and the exact
provider ids are the diagnostic content and a screenshot loses both.

The recorder runs continuously rather than while the panel is open: you find the
problem by speaking, and you cannot speak and read a settings panel at the same
time. `audio-level` is tallied rather than stored - it fires twenty times a
second and would evict everything explanatory within ten seconds - so the count,
the peak, and the speech-frame count are kept instead, which is what answers "is
the microphone producing anything at all".

Verified on the running app: speaking produced two transcripts and reopened the
floor twice, with zero route-decision and zero dispatch events.

Maestro ID: aaaf249a-aa54-4114-93f6-b173c2495dcf
The recogniser endpoints on 700 ms of silence, but people do not. "Look at the
auth module..." *thinks* "...and say why the refresh is failing" endpointed
twice, and each half was routed and dispatched on arrival: the agent got a
fragment, started answering it, then received a second request that only made
sense joined to the first. That is the "sending the words too fast" feeling -
not the speech arriving too quickly, but the turn ending too early.

A settled fragment is now held rather than dispatched. Another fragment inside
the settle window joins it and restarts the clock; silence past the window means
the thought is finished and the whole thing goes as ONE request, routed once.
`speech/utterance-composer.ts` is pure and timer-driven so the boundary of a
thought is testable against fake timers rather than against a microphone.

The cost is deliberate and stated rather than hidden: a request that really was
complete now waits before anything happens. At the defaults a dispatch lands
about 1.6 s after you stop making noise. That is the trade - dead air before a
correct dispatch beats an agent working on half a sentence - so it is a slider
in Voice Controls under Timing ("Finish my thought"), and setting it to off
restores dispatch-on-arrival for anyone who wants the old snappiness.

Composed only for a recogniser that listens to a room. A text-in provider's
utterance was already delimited by whoever typed it and pressed send, so holding
it would be latency in exchange for nothing.

On the gist stage: the Conductor already turns an utterance into a clean prompt
for the agent, so what was missing was never the gist - it was waiting for the
whole thought before asking for one. It now routes once, over the assembled
request, which is both cheaper and more accurate than routing each fragment.

Verified on the running app: two fragments 250 ms apart arrive as one request
("look at the auth module and say why the refresh is failing"); the same two
2 s apart stay two, so a genuine second thought is still its own turn.

…agent

Every utterance was a command. That is fine for "run the tests" and wrong for the
way requests actually get made, which is a couple of sentences of thinking out
loud before anything is asked for - and each of those sentences was routed,
dispatched, and answered by an agent on its own.

The Conductor can now reply instead. `RouteDecision` gains `reply`: one spoken
line back, no agent contacted, floor stays open. It sits beside `clarify` because
the two are genuinely different - `clarify` means "there is a request and I need
one fact before I send it", and resolves in one exchange; `reply` means there is
no request yet, and can run for as many turns as it takes. `holdsTheFloor()` is
the single predicate for "this turn reaches no agent", so a caller cannot check
one and forget the other.

`router/conversation-buffer.ts` is the memory that makes those replies coherent:
both halves of the exchange, fed back to the Brain each turn so it sees the shape
of the thing being worked out rather than one sentence in isolation. It is capped
by turns AND by characters, because it becomes prompt on every routing turn. It
is CLEARED on dispatch - the discussion that produced a request is finished, and
carrying it forward is how "now do the same for the other repo" arrives wearing
the last job's context.

The bridge is the Brain provider, so it is whatever is configured: local by
default, OpenAI or Anthropic when a key is set. ElevenLabs cannot be it - in this
codebase it is registered as a TTS provider and has no chat model.

Off by default, as "Talk it through first" in Voice Controls. It changes what a
spoken sentence MEANS, and turning that on for someone who already had a working
command interface would break it in the name of improving it.

Not included, deliberately: the spoken "working on it" after a handoff. Both
obvious placements are wrong - speaking after the dispatch tears down the agent's
reply stream in `completeSpeechRun`, and speaking before it needs a
`listening -> dispatching` transition the state machine forbids. Doing it right
means either a new legal transition or seeding the reply's speech run, and that
deserves its own pass rather than a guess bolted onto this one.

Verified on the running app: conversational mode reaches the session, and an
utterance still routes and dispatches with it on. The reply path itself is
covered by unit tests, verified by removing the guard and watching four of them
fail - no Brain in this build can emit one, since the local runtimes are absent
and no API key is set.

A voice request had no way to say "I am done". Silence was the only signal, and
the wait is always wrong: short enough to feel responsive and it cuts you off
mid-thought, long enough to let you think and every finished request sits there.
The settle window shipped last was a better guess, but still a guess.

So say so. `speech/send-phrase.ts` matches "good to go", "that's it", "send it",
"go ahead" or "make it so" and ends dictation on the spot. The pause becomes a
backstop for the times you forget rather than the mechanism.

Matched on the TRANSCRIPT, not on audio frames, which is the opposite of the
stop word (`wake/stop-word.ts`) and deliberately so. The stop word has to be
heard while text-to-speech is mid-sentence, so it needs a local classifier on
raw frames. A send phrase is said at the end of ordinary dictation, and matching
text buys three things audio cannot: it works with every recogniser rather than
only the one with openWakeWord downloaded, it matches whatever was actually
transcribed, and it can be STRIPPED - "fix the auth bug, good to go" has to
reach the agent as "fix the auth bug", and an audio match cannot remove words
from a transcript it never saw.

Anchored to the END of a turn, always. "That's it, the bug is in auth" is
agreement followed by more talking; "fix the auth module, that's it" is someone
finishing. Only position tells them apart, so a contains-match would fire the
moment anyone said "go ahead" mid-sentence.

"Wait for me to say send" turns the whole thing on: speak for as long as you
like, and nothing reaches an agent until you say a phrase or stop talking for
the configured pause (30 s, 5 s to 2 min). Off by default - it changes when a
request goes from "about a second after you stop" to "when you say so", which
someone using voice as a command interface would experience as their requests no
longer sending. The phrases are editable, and emptying the list leaves the pause
as the only way a held request goes.

Found and fixed while wiring it: `maxHoldMs` defaulted to 30 s, so a 30 s hold
would have been guillotined by its own backstop mid-sentence. The cap now can
never be tighter than the wait it backstops, since the cap starts on the first
fragment while the settle restarts on every one.

The wake word was already "hey maestro", so the front of this flow existed.

Verified on the running app: two sentences 1.5 s apart produced ZERO dispatches
while holding, then "good to go" sent them as one request reading "look at the
auth module and say why the refresh is failing" - joined, with the phrase
removed. A separate 25 s window of live speech produced 45 partials and no
finals at all, which is the hold doing its job.

Push-to-talk flushed the recogniser on release and stopped there. The flush
produces a final, the composer BUFFERS it, and the request then sat waiting out
a settle window the user had already answered by lifting their finger - up to
30 seconds of it in hold mode. Releasing the key looked like it did nothing.

`endUtteranceNow()` on the session closes that gap, called alongside the existing
flush because the two halves live in different places: the bridge owns the
recogniser handle, the session owns the composer.

The subtlety is ordering, and it is why this is not just "settle now". A flushed
final can arrive on either side of the release. `armImmediateSettle()` therefore
sends what is already buffered AND arms the next fragment to settle on arrival,
so a tail still in flight is not lost - settling only the current buffer would
send the sentence minus its last few words, which is the one thing a release
gesture must never do. The flag is set after that first settle rather than
before, because settling clears it; a test caught that, having been written
against what the code should do rather than what it did.

Worth knowing for anyone reading this expecting push-to-talk to work: the global
hotkey still cannot detect a release. `hotkeys/press-hold.ts` polls a key-state
probe that returns null on every platform, because reading live key state needs
a native module Maestro does not ship, so the hotkey reports `tap-only` and says
so rather than pretending. The surfaces with a real release event - the HUD's
talk button, and the paired phone - drive the same floor controller and now get
the full gesture.

The eye button explained itself through a native `title`, which appears after
the OS delay, in the OS's own styling, and nowhere near the rest of the app's
hover language. It now uses `HoverTooltip` like every other affordance in this
header.

The `title` carried both the state and the action in one sentence, which a
tooltip renders better as two: the label says what is true ("Hidden from
coworking agents") and the shortcut slot says what a click does. The wording
drops "agents" for "coworking agents" throughout, because that is the feature
being toggled and the shorter phrase reads as though it were about every agent.

`aria-pressed` stays, and the sentence the `title` used to carry moves to
`aria-label` rather than being dropped: a tooltip is a hover affordance and
conveys nothing to a screen reader, so removing the `title` without that would
have left the button announcing only its icon.

Not my change - it was uncommitted in the worktree. Verified before committing
rather than assumed: `HoverTooltip` really does take `label` and `shortcut`,
tsc and eslint are clean, and the full suite passes (38,559).

…sked for

A Cappella is an Encore Feature that ships off, and its native engines are the
only part of it whose size is not a rounding error. Bundling llama.cpp and ONNX
Runtime would have put roughly 300 MB of inference binaries into every installer
on every platform, for the large majority of users who never switch voice on.

So they are downloaded, on the same terms as the models: pinned source, recorded
SHA-256, verified before anything is promoted into place. Local voice already
asks for 454 MB to 1.5 GB of models before it can run, so a runtime payload rides
a road the user has already agreed to walk, and "where did this binary come from"
keeps one answer for models and engines alike.

`shared/acappella/runtime-artifacts.ts` is the table. The payloads are the exact
npm tarballs `versionPin` already refers to, which means the downloaded bytes and
the bytes a contributor gets from `npm install` are the same bytes, and there is
no second supply chain to secure. Every hash in it was computed from the real
tarball rather than copied out of a manifest; a hash nobody has verified is a
hash that fails on the user's machine after a 101 MB wait. A test asserts each
one is a full-length hex digest and that each URL still carries the pinned
version, because a URL that drifts is how a runtime gets upgraded without anyone
deciding to upgrade it.

The size argument only holds because of `keep`. `onnxruntime-node` publishes ONE
tarball containing all five platform payloads, so the download is 101 MB whatever
we do, but only the running platform's subtree reaches the disk and the other
~220 MB is discarded during extraction. That filter is `shouldKeepArchiveEntry`,
which is pure and exported for exactly one reason: it is the only logic here that
can be wrong in two opposite directions, and neither is visible without running
an extraction. Wrong permissively it silently costs a user 220 MB; wrong strictly
it produces an install missing its own binary. It matches on path SEGMENTS, so a
sibling directory called `arm64-extra` cannot ride in behind `arm64`.

The install is a transaction and the manifest is its commit record, written last:
verify the hash, extract, prove the promised binary is really there, replace the
directory, and only then write the manifest that `isRuntimeInstalled()` reads. A
killed app leaves a staging directory the next install deletes, never a
half-extracted engine that passes an existence check and detonates weeks later
inside a dlopen. The hash is checked BEFORE extraction rather than after, because
these payloads are code the app will dlopen, and unpacking unverified bytes and
checking afterwards leaves a window where something else can execute them.

`isRuntimeInstalled()` deliberately requires both the manifest AND the binary. A
manifest is a claim about the past; the binary is what the loader actually
reaches for, and a store that trusted the claim alone would send a dlopen at a
file that is not there.

The installer test drives the whole thing offline against a real tarball built in
a temp directory and served through an injected fetch, so the streaming download,
the SHA-256 comparison, the node-tar extraction and the promote ordering are all
the production ones. It covers the properties that are decisions rather than
accidents: a tampered payload leaves nothing behind, a reinstall replaces instead
of merging so a stale binary cannot outlive its version, and an archive that
verifies but lacks its binary fails rather than reporting success.

Two things this does NOT do, stated plainly rather than implied. The loader is
not yet pointed at the downloaded payload: `node-llama-cpp` reaches its binary
through a wrapper with 28 dependencies, and `onnxruntime-node` hardcodes a
relative require, so each needs its own wiring and half-wiring them would trade
an honest "not part of this build" for a new and worse failure. And `whisper` has
no row in the table at all, because `smart-whisper` publishes no prebuilt binary
for any platform and runs node-gyp at install time, so there is nothing to
download. Local speech-to-text stays unavailable until it moves to a runtime that
ships prebuilds. A test asserts that absence, so adding one is a decision someone
has to make on purpose.

Also removes the Conductor agent from the Brain dropdown. `ConductorAgentBrain`
exists but nothing constructs it, and it could not: the class needs a process
manager, an agent detector and a cwd that `VoiceProviderCreateOptions` does not
carry. The slot selector renders this table directly with no availability gating,
so the entry was a permanently dead choice that refused EVERY session with
`unknown-provider` - which reads as voice being broken rather than as one option
not being wired yet. It returns with its factory.

`tar` becomes a real dependency. It was already in the tree as a devDependency,
so the lockfile change is one line plus some `dev: true` flags falling away, and
no new package is installed.
