The extension's full behaviour now lives in dank/dankvoice (41/41
black-box suite against the built artifact; this branch's 26 drop-in
tests are a strict subset, names ported 1:1). Delete the drop-in and
its bats suite; repoint omp-docs/core/dankvoice.md at the package,
keeping only fleet wiring (frank-tts + @tiny resolution, the
enable_thinking hybrid law, voice/roster contract) and the cutover
procedure. kb-lint 0 violations; bats tests/ 45/45.

The humanizer's raw fetch to frank-zealot omitted
chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking: false, so the Qwen35 hybrid thought
instead of answering (6.9 s reasoning_content, empty content - timing out
the 6 s abort; or answering "" and muting the unit). Pin the kwarg, treat
empty-content-with-reasoning as failure over silence, and stop the menu's
test phrase from blocking its handler. Three red-captured regressions;
26/26 green, verified red against HEAD.
Answers spoken with /say were verbatim markdown-cleaned text while the
built-in vocalizer speaks prose rewritten by a small model. Port that
enhancer (bundle Qyr/T6o: same prompt, 1536 tokens, 6 s, 4000-char
window, null-fallback/empty-skip contract) and resolve its model from
modelRoles.tiny exactly as the harness does, so auto-speak sounds like
the enhanced TUI voice instead of a pager. agent_end now also speaks the
last assistant message's thinking blocks as their own unit before the
answer; narration-flagged thinking counts as answer text. Both knobs are
menu-toggleable, persisted, and env-overridable; the fixture gains a
chat route (echo/prose) and seven scenarios cover the round-trip, the
404 fallback, ordering, the kill switches and role resolution (22 green,
58 suite-wide; live smoke through real frank-zealot + frank-tts).
Refs #27
agent_end awaited one whole-answer synthesis; long answers hit the
harness 30s extension-handler timeout (handler timed out after 30000ms)
and the single frank-tts request was the stall. Port the built-in
speak-aloud vocalizer's utterance segmenter (fHe in dist/cli.js) so
segmentation matches the known-working stock path: [.!?…]-run
boundaries, abbreviation/decimal/inline-code guards, fenced code and
tables swallowed, markup cleaned. Play segment N to player exit before
synthesizing N+1 (audio never stacks); fire-and-forget the chain so
utterances outlive the handler timeout; a run token retires superseded
chains. DANKVOICE_MAX becomes a per-answer budget of whole segments;
stripForSpeech is gone. Refs #23 follow-up.
Bare /say and /say menu open a ctx.ui.select settings surface: auto-speak
toggle, voice from the frank-tts roster, PipeWire output device
(pw-play --target / paplay --device=), player binary, spoken cap, and a
test phrase. Choices persist to ~/.omp/cache/dankvoice.json (env wins
over file); detectPlayer becomes availablePlayers + playerFor. Fixes
the silent-route failure mode where synthesized audio played into an
offline Bluetooth sink. 15/15 dankvoice bats, 51/51 suite, live pty
TUI smoke armed the footer and wrote the settings file.
Every speak-aloud path in the harness gates `--voice` against the bundled
Kokoro enum, so the frank-tts cloned voices could only ever produce files.
`agent/extensions/` auto-loads, so one tracked extension adds the missing
transport: `/say <text>`, `/say on|off` (narrate the final answer at
`agent_end`, silent when the harness schedules a continuation),
`/say voice|voices|stop|status` — OpenAI speech POST plus playback through
pw-play/paplay/ffplay. The endpoint and served id come from the
`api: openai-speech` row of `agent/models.yml`, so the file carries no host
and no secret; markdown is stripped, over-long utterances are cut at a
sentence bound, and the temp WAV dir is always removed.
Verified live in a real TUI session on the workstation (roster
narrator1/narrator2/narrator3; 2.08 s and 1.44 s WAVs played; auto-speak
spoke each finished answer, 1.20 s WAV; unknown voice answers with the
roster). Black-box seam `tests/dankvoice.bats` (12 tests) drives the
extension against a fixture speech endpoint and a stub player.

session: wt-20261017-181502-6d1fc1f
'Too Claudish': drop the aside ('the gotchas no doc confesses') and the
simile ('watches it fall'); lead with the constraint itself. Facts
unchanged: exclusive dialog, scouts before ask, Esc ends the run, the
ledger survives.
The ask tool's recommended flag only labels option 0; the reply always
names the selected options, so 'the user's single Enter accepts it'
overclaimed a default-accept mechanic that does not exist. Stated
truthfully: the label invites one-glance acceptance, the reply is
self-documenting.
- opening restores 'shared understanding' alongside 'nothing is
silently assumed', and 'Map this as a design tree'
- cluster rationale restated: tight clusters keep each scout aware of
possible adjacencies
- web_search: explicit 'do not delegate to a subagent'
- 'Done' heading -> 'Definition of Done'
Read all 36 upstream skills, then rewrote to their house style per
writing-for-agents' own levers: leading words as tokens (frontier,
brief, ledger, artefact, scout), vocabulary-first and used exactly,
positive phrasing with prohibitions kept only as hard guardrails,
completion criteria sharpened to checkable+exhaustive ('counted before
sending', 'frontier empty and nothing sits blocked'), zero history,
gotchas the environment cannot confess kept inline. All settled
behaviour from the grilling-on-grilling session survives intact.
- drop provenance blockquote and the absorbed-law attribution: the skill
is instructions, not a history
- 'concurrency is capped' replaces the 3-scout figure of one machine
- completion distillate: project's knowledge base or a log markdown file,
not a command-center-specific path (skill travels outside this repo)
Rewritten per grilling-on-grilling (2026-10-18, all branches settled via
ask rounds): ask tool is the default round vehicle (one artefact per
question, recommended:0 = bare-yes semantics, hybrid boundary ask-default
/ prose-exception); todo as visible decision tree (phase=branch, blocked
reasons) + durable local://grilling-state.md ledger surviving the
Esc-aborts-the-run path; scout=environment facts (spawn-before-ask,
exclusive concurrency), web_search=world facts, inline=cheap lookups;
completion gate = summary + one closing ask, then distilled decisions
land in omp-docs/log.md via branch -> PR.
Absorbs managed skill one-decision-per-ask-question (Frank's choice;
reworded: ideas heavily encouraged via own atomic question, ban is on
smuggling into option text only). Managed skill deleted here; heartbeat
drops it from the live tree.
Observed failure mode: tracking flips land in one batch at the end of a
task bill, so the operator's cockpit view stays frozen for the whole run.
Rule pins the mechanics: init before first substantive step, done/start
batched with the step they describe, block-with-reason on stalls, no
lone todo calls. Global tier (APPEND_SYSTEM.md), every session affected.
omp's skill scanner ignores agents/*.yaml (Eve/Codex binding metadata
carried along by the skills CLI store). The file kept vanishing from the
live tree to a background sweep; an authored omp skill does not need it.
Refs #16
Retroactive provenance: the 10 pi-era skill snapshots were byte-identical
to upstream. Canonical installs now live in ~/.agents/skills tracked by
~/.agents/.skill-lock.json (mattpocock/skills x38 after grilling removal,
find-skills from vercel-labs/skills).
Repo tier is authored overrides only: clear all 10 tracked upstream
snapshots; omp loads the store directly through the agents provider
(skills.enableAgentsUser, default on). grilling returns as a real
directory — extracted from the store (CLI + lockfile pruned) so Frank can
customize it without skills update resurrecting a twin.
Docs: skill-store-wiring.md (+index). Pre-cutover snapshot of the old
tracked dirs at /tmp/agent-skills-snap-20261018.
Uncommitted machine/session edits (live config, models, docs drift) were
blocking the merge of origin/main. Committed as-is to preserve them; the
merge that follows resolves overlapping prose files toward upstream
canonical, with local variants recoverable from this commit. Pre-merge
copies also in .AGENTTRASH/pre-merge-2026-10-18/.
learned.md: noctalia v5 bar layering + hot-reload loop; secret-gate self-match convention (quoted literals redacted per the convention the line itself states); niri 26.04 event-stream has no hotplug event. New managed skills: git-repo-secret-audit, omp-system-prompt-retrieval.
git 2.56 credential-store parses one URL per line (port included), not the
key=value block shape the man page shows for ~/.git-credentials; a block-format
file yields a silent empty get and git dies at askpass.
Captured from this session's cutover: reference-grep list, the YAML
cross-check regex (the provider label contains a space and parentheses, so a
whitespace split yields false unresolved hits), the per-endpoint 4-token probe
that proves a harness-side id rename is wire-safe, the fit check against the
served window, and the commit shape.
The managed-skill library was regenerated: 94 narrow per-incident skills
replaced by 25 broader ones (radiance-*, llamacpp-*, homepage-*, fleet/
endpoint ops). Git renders this as mass delete + mass add because whole
directories changed name; old content stays in history at 12c5e88.
Surface check: the 25 on disk are exactly the skills the harness advertises
this session.
frank-medium -> frank-archon (dankserver), frank-large -> frank-dragoon
(dankclaw-gpu), frank-small -> frank-zealot (dankclaw-3090). The Dankclaw
service/unit names keep the old frank-large spelling; only the OMP model ids
move, per the comments at each entry.
Windows refit to the served context minus the compaction headroom:
archon 196608 -> 200000 ctx, 32768 -> 16384 maxTokens
dragoon 200192 -> 217088 ctx, 57344 -> 45056 maxTokens, input +image
zealot 262144 -> 200704 ctx, 32768 -> 16384 maxTokens
All three now carry compactionModel frank-zealot, reasoningContentField
reasoning_content, and Qwen-recommended sampling in compat.extraBody
(merged last, so it beats the global -1 sampler settings).
