feat(dankvoice): /say options menu with output-device routing (Refs #23 )

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.

 - Always practice Test Driven Development practices; do UNIT TESTS exist for the functionality about to be edited? Is there a LINTER? Is there a FORMATTER? Verify that they exist, and that they are configured as a pre-commit hook. If they do not exist, they MUST be written PRIOR to the code being written. Invoke `/skill:tdd` for preferred testing style. If tests do exist, ensure that they still match the planned changes. If you believe a PRE-EXISTING test must be changed prior to commencing work, ASK THE USER ABOUT IT.
 - Always ensure tests run on code changes after every commit, and all project tests run before every push using git hooks, EXCEPT in the event that the individual test in question takes an excessive amount of time. Always ask the user before disabling an individual due to running time or performance concerns. 
 ### 6. Keep the Todo List LIVE, Not Retrospective
 The todo list is the user's cockpit view of your work. A list that only flips at the end is a history dump, not tracking - the user sees nothing while you work.
 - Multi-step work: `todo init` BEFORE the first substantive step - the list must exist while the work is unseen, not after.
 - Batch the todo transition with the step it describes: `done` + `start` ride along in the same message as the first tool calls of the next step. NEVER defer flips until the whole bill of tasks is finished.
 - A task is `done` the moment its work is verified - not when the surrounding phase ends.
 - Blocked on external input (user answer, subagent, service)? `block` it with a reason so the stall is visible; `unblock` the instant it is actionable.
 - NEVER make a todo call the only call in a message - that is ceremony, not progress; pair every flip with real work.
 ## FORBIDDEN ACTS AND MISTAKES TO NOT REPEAT (DO NOT DO THESE):
 - Editing node_modules or similar import module directories. This is third party code that will be overwritten next time `npm update` or a similar command is run.
 - `git push` - unless directed, except if it's our local gitea instance on Dankclaw.

 /**
 * dankvoice — cloned-voice vocalization for omp, served by frank-tts.
 *
 * The built-in speak-aloud feature (`speech.enabled` / `speech.voice`) and the
 * `omp say` CLI are gated to the bundled Kokoro voice enum, so the cloned
 * voices on frank-tts (Dankclaw :7772, the `speech` model role in
 * agent/models.yml) could only ever produce files. This extension adds the
 * missing path — the TUI speaks with the cloned voices:
 *
 *   /say                   open the options menu
 *   /say <text>            speak once through the speakers
 *   /say on | off          arm/disarm auto-speak of the assistant's final answer
 *   /say menu              the options menu (voice, output device, player, cap)
 *   /say voice <name>      choose a voice (empty = whatever the server defaults to)
 *   /say voices            list the voices frank-tts reports
 *   /say stop              cut off the current utterance
 *   /say status            voice, endpoint, player and device in use
 *   /say help              the command list
 *
 * The endpoint comes from agent/models.yml — the provider block carrying
 * `api: openai-speech`, i.e. the same row the speech role resolves — so this
 * file carries no host address and no secret. Menu choices persist to
 * ~/.omp/cache/dankvoice.json (runtime state, never tracked). Environment
 * overrides win over the file, which wins over defaults:
 *
 *   DANKVOICE_URL      speech base URL (…/v1) instead of models.yml
 *   DANKVOICE_MODEL    served model id (default: the id in that block)
 *   DANKVOICE_CONFIG   settings file (default ~/.omp/cache/dankvoice.json)
 *   DANKVOICE_PLAYER   player binary, skipping detection
 *   DANKVOICE_VOICE    voice name ("" = server default)
 *   DANKVOICE_MAX      spoken-character cap per utterance (default 700)
 *   DANKVOICE_AUTO=1   start with auto-speak armed
 *
 * Utterances are synthesized to a temp WAV in $TMPDIR; the file is removed
 * when its player process exits. A new utterance interrupts the previous one
 * instead of queueing behind it. Output routing: a saved sink becomes
 * `pw-play --target <sink>` or `paplay --device=<sink>` (ffplay has no device
 * concept and ignores it); with no saved sink the player's own default applies.

 # Audit a never-run container deploy path
 A deployable that has never been built or started has never been *executed*: every
 fault in it is invisible to tests that stub the runtime. Audit it as static code
 against the tools it calls, then prove each suspicion cheaply against the real
 tool. The faults worth hunting are the ones that **report success while doing
 nothing** — those are the ones that survive a green `/health` and a green e2e run.
 ## The three fault classes (all measured 2026-10-18, frank-tts-engine)
 1. **A command the base image does not ship.** e.g. `adduser` in a `RUN` line
   against a trimmed `ubuntu:24.04` — absent, and not pulled in by
   `ca-certificates curl libgomp1`. Dies at build time (loud), but only the first
   time anyone builds it.
   Prove it in the base, never from memory:
   `podman run --rm <base> sh -c "command -v adduser || echo absent; useradd --system --uid 10000 --home-dir /app --shell /usr/sbin/nologin tts && id tts"`
   Note the accepted cosmetic warning (`uid 10000 is greater than SYS_UID_MAX 999`)
   in a comment, or a future agent "fixes" it by dropping `--system` and the uid
   stops matching the sibling container.
 2. **Two readers of one env file disagree.** systemd units that pass
   `EnvironmentFile=` hand it to podman `--env-file`, which does **no shell
   parsing** — it takes the literal remainder of the line — while bash `source`
   strips one quoting layer. So `WARM_TEXT="Warm up, one two three."` reaches the
   container *with its quotes*, and a script that interpolates it into a JSON body
   produces invalid JSON: the container boots, `active`, every voice registered,
   every voice cold. Fix in the consumer: strip exactly one matched pair **only**
   when both ends are the same quote AND the inner content carries another quote or
   backslash (never mangle a value that legitimately contains quotes), then escape.
 3. **A build-skip hash that under-covers the image.** `build_compose_image`-style
   helpers skip `podman build` when a label hash matches; hashing the `Containerfile`
   alone means editing a `COPY`'d app/script rebuilds **nothing** — deploy reports
   success, `/health` answers, container serves old code. Each case arm must name
   the paths its `Containerfile` copies (`extra=(…)`) and hash Containerfile+extras.
   Arms that have no extras keep their old hash, so they do not needlessly rebuild.
 ## Test it as behaviour, never as a grep of the handler
 - Drive the **real** function: `awk '/^build_compose_image\(\) \{/,/^\}/' deploy-remote.sh > bci.sh`,
  `source` it, put a stub `podman` first on `PATH`, assert the observable question —
  *did the deploy ask podman to build, or did it skip?*
 - Stub traps that cost real time: podman is invoked `podman image inspect <image> --format …`
  so the tag is **`$3`**, not `$2`; tags contain `/` so a state file named after one
  needs `${tag//\//_}` or the write silently lands in a nonexistent directory and
  every image looks permanently unbuilt; `--label cfhash=…` arrives **before** `-t <tag>`,
  so collect the label and write it after the arg loop.
 - For an env-file bug, write one test that reads the file **both** ways — `source`
  and the `--env-file` way (parse `KEY=literal remainder`) — and assert the program
  receives the same value in both shapes, including a value that carries its own
  quotes and a backslash. A suite that only sources the file is how the bug shipped.
 - Prove red: `git show HEAD:scripts/deploy-remote.sh > scripts/deploy-remote.sh`,
  run the new test (must fail at the exact intended step), restore. Keep each fix in
  its own commit and run the seam at each one so the branch bisects.
 ## Base-image and host facts to check while auditing
 - `useradd` lives in `login(1)` (base carries it); `adduser` does not.
 - Rootless podman **cannot raise rlimits** — `--ulimit nofile=…` above the host hard
  limit dies at container create, not at runtime.
 - A referenced `Network=` `.network` file the generator cannot find means the
  container unit is **not produced at all**.
 - Two containers talk by DNS name only if they attach to a **common** network;
  check both unit files rather than trusting a comment that says they share one.
 - Container DNS name + the network that owns it, never `host.containers.internal`
  or a published loopback port, for service-to-service traffic.
 ## Do not
 - Do not deploy the audited thing because the audit is finished: first build of a
  heavy image (recursive source clone ~10 min) plus a new unit on a host serving
  people is the operator's call.
 - Do not add a Prometheus target for a container with no `/metrics` — say the probe
  is a decision (blackbox HTTP), do not fake a scrape.

 # Corpus-voice skill rewrite
 Rewrite a skill so it reads as if a chosen author wrote it. Done for `grilling` against the `mattpocock/skills` corpus (2026-10-18, command-center PR #20); behaviour preserved, voice swapped.
 ## Where the corpus lives
 Installed third-party skills: `~/.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` (the skills-CLI global store; `~/.agents/.skill-lock.json` names sources). Whole mattpocock corpus ≈ 2,800 lines — small enough to read inline in ~4 `cat` batches via bash; do NOT delegate the reading, style lives in the exact prose.
 Read the author's own meta-skill FIRST if one exists (`writing-for-agents` for mattpocock — it states his levers explicitly), then the corpus practicing them.
 ## Style DNA checklist (mattpocock; generalise per author)
 - **Leading words**: compact pretrained concepts repeated as tokens, never sentences (_red_, _seam_, _fog of war_, _brief_, _frontier_). Define each once, reuse everywhere. Prefer words already in the author's other skills so the corpus shares one language.
 - **Vocabulary-first**: bolded glossary terms, then used exactly; explicit "_Avoid_: component, service".
 - **Positive phrasing**: prohibitions rewritten as target behaviours; keep a prohibition only when no positive form exists (hard guardrails).
 - **Sharpened completion criteria**: fuzzy bounds ("understanding reached") → checkable + exhaustive ("frontier empty and nothing sits blocked", "one artefact per question, counted before sending").
 - **Zero history**: no provenance, attribution, or absorbed-from lineage in the body.
 - **No-op hunting**: delete harness defaults and anything the environment already confesses (formats, rendering, caps). Gotchas the environment CANNOT confess (exclusive dialogs, Esc-abort semantics) stay inline — they're the cache worth keeping.
 ## Procedure
 1. Read entire corpus; tabulate levers with per-skill evidence before writing.
 2. Rewrite preserving settled behaviour 1:1 — voice only; diff the two versions for semantic drift.
 3. Audit pass: grep the new text for history words (extracted/absorbed/from/upstream), machine-specific constants, repo-specific paths.
 4. Run repo checks, commit as `style(<scope>)`, note the lever→instance mapping in the PR comment so the reviewer can grade the emulation.

 drops every registration and re-pays the cold cost for the whole library. The

 no host address to curl.

 The warmer's journal lines carry `voice NAME cold=…ms warm=…ms` — quote that pair.
 Note that streaming and buffered output differ at the same seed (92.2 % of samples,
 -41.6 dB RMS): never compare two paths or two "identical" renders, only that each
 is audio and that the second request is fast.
 ## Failure modes worth naming
 - `400 unknown voice …; available voices: …` → the name is not a pack: wrong
  spelling/case, missing `reference.wav`, or `/home/dank/voices` root-owned/empty.
  Trust the 400's list over any manifest.
 - 400 with `(none: no voice pack with a reference.wav in /voices)` → mount problem,
  not a voice problem.
 - First request slow **after** a boot → the warm pass failed; read the unit's
  journal (the warmer exits 0 and logs when there is no voice directory, so
  silence there is not success either).
 - Endpoint answers but synthesis fails 502 → the façade must dial
  `http://frank-tts-engine:8880` over the shared bridge
  (`frank-tts-engine.network`); a `host.containers.internal` / `127.0.0.1:8880`
  upstream can never work between containers, because netavark DNATs published
  ports only.
 ## Never
 Never write under `/voices` from the endpoint (mounted `:ro` by design), never
 `git add` a voice pack, never `rm` a pack (repo policy: move to `.AGENTTRASH/`),
 and never benchmark against this endpoint while it serves — stop and mask the
 units first.

 # frank-tts consumer voice triage
 A consumer says a voice name is invalid, speaks in the wrong voice, or is
 silent. `frank-tts` (`192.168.0.143:7772`, shim
 `dankclaw/voiceservice/app.py`) resolves `voice=<name>` against
 `/home/dank/voices/<name>/reference.wav` and answers **400 + the list of
 voices that exist** for a name it cannot resolve — never a silent fallback.
 Any error naming a *different* voice list did not come from it.
 **Signature that decides the case immediately:** an enum of ~29 names
 `af_heart, af_alloy, … am_*, bf_*, bm_* … bm_fable` is **Kokoro's fixed pack**,
 the voice list of **Kokoro.js running in the browser** (OpenWebUI ships it
 in its own front end as TTS engine value `browser-kokoro`, with a personal

   body and yields a bogus `400 malformed request body`):
   ```
   printf '%s' '{"model":"frank-tts","input":"probe","voice":"narrator1","response_format":"mp3","speed":1.0}' > /tmp/p.json
   podman cp /tmp/p.json <consumer>:/tmp/p.json
   podman exec <consumer> curl -sS -o /tmp/o.bin -w 'http=%{http_code} type=%{content_type} bytes=%{size_download}\n' \
     -X POST http://host.containers.internal:7772/v1/audio/speech \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary @/tmp/p.json
   ```
   `200 audio/mpeg|audio/wav` ⇒ the server path is healthy; the failure is elsewhere.
 3. **Did the request arrive at all?** `podman logs --tail 400 <consumer> | grep -c audio/speech`.
   A server-path failure leaves a log line **and** a frank-tts error body; a
   client-side engine leaves **neither**. This contrast is the discriminator.
 4. **Where the rejection string lives** (proves the emitter without guessing):
   ```
   podman exec <consumer> sh -c 'grep -ho ".\{200\}Should be one of.\{80\}" /app/build/_app/immutable/chunks/*.js | head'
   podman exec <consumer> sh -c 'grep -ho ".\{60\}af_heart.\{200\}" /app/build/_app/immutable/chunks/*.js | head -2'
   ```
   Matched inside the front-end bundle ⇒ browser-side validator, not the API.
 5. **Config authority sweep** (OpenWebUI): admin config is the `config`
   table (one key per row, JSON `value`; expected
   `audio.tts.engine=openai`, `audio.tts.model`, `audio.tts.voice`,
   `audio.tts.openai.api_base_url`); per-user overrides are the `settings`
   JSON column of table `user` (singular, no `is_active`; some rows hold the
   string `null` → guard it). `audio.stt.*` and `audio.tts.*` are separate.
   No `sqlite3` CLI in the image or on the host: `podman exec -i <c> python -`
   with the stdlib module. **`podman exec` needs `-i` to accept a heredoc
   script** — without it the script is silently dropped and you get no output.
 ## Known traps
 - OpenWebUI is a **rootless** quadlet: `sudo podman …` reports *no such
  container*. Read it rootless.
 - `podman ps` in this podman build has no `.ImageName` field — use `{{.Image}}`.
 - The in-browser engine choice is **per-browser storage**: empty
  `user.settings` + correct admin config + zero backend hits is the normal
  shape of this bug. Fix is UI: Settings → Audio → TTS Engine → **Default**.
 - `GET /api/config` publishes no `audio` block, and nonexistent `/api/...`
  paths return the SPA HTML with `200` — never conclude "config missing" from
  an HTML body.
 - TTS is memory-registry sensitive: the engine's voice registry is
  memory-only, so "every name returns 400" after a restart points at the warm
  pass, not at the caller (see [[frank-tts-add-cloned-voice]]).
 ## Local playback side (omp `/say`, manual probes)
 If synthesis succeeds (`200`, sane WAV bytes) but nothing is audible, the
 fault is the PipeWire graph, not the endpoint:
 `wpctl status` (default sink marked `*`, and *Default Configured Devices* —
 a remembered-but-offline `bluez_output.*` there is the classic silent
 route), `wpctl get-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@`, `pw-play -v <file>` (expect
 `stream drained` + exit 0), and target a device explicitly with
 `pw-play --target <node-id>` to identify which hardware is live. A one-word
 clip (~0.7 s) is easy to miss — probe with a multi-second sentence.

 # verify: 201 is not enough — check mergeable
 curl -sS -K "$cfg" ".../pulls/1" | jq '{number,state,merged,mergeable,base:.base.ref,head:.head.ref,url:.html_url}'
 ```
 ## Merging: the field is `Do`, and it is a STRING naming the strategy
 Measured 2026-10-18 on Gitea at 192.168.0.143:3000 (`POST .../pulls/<n>/merge`).
 `MergePullRequestOption` is `{From, To, When, Do}` — **there is no `DoMerge` and
 no `merge_method`**. Every wrong shape is a 422 with a distinct message, so read it:
 |body sent|http|message|
 |---|---|---|
 |`{"DoMerge":true,"merge_method":"merge"}`|422|`[Do]: Required`|
 |`{"Do":true,"merge_method":"merge"}`|422|`[]: json: cannot unmarshal JSON boolean into Go string within "/Do"`|
 |`{"Do":"true"}`|422|`[Do]: In…` (validation: not a strategy name)|
 |form body `Do=true&merge_method=merge`|422|`[Do]: Required` (the value must be a strategy name)|
 |`{"Do":"merge"}`|**200**|merged|
 ```bash
 curl -sS -K "$cfg" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST -d '{"Do":"merge"}' ".../pulls/4/merge"
 # then prove it: .merged true, .state closed, .merge_commit_sha set, and origin/main moved
 curl -sS ".../pulls/4" | jq -c '{number,state,merged,merge_commit_sha}'
 ```
 Strategy names: `merge`, `rebase`, `rebase-merge`, `squash`, `manually` — a
 strategy the repo does not allow is rejected too.
 **Merge trap (measured 2026-10-18):** on `POST /merge` the `Content-Type` header
 must go on the **command line** (`-H 'Content-Type: application/json'`). Same
 curl that succeeds on `POST /pulls` with Content-Type supplied only via the `-K`
 config file returns **405 with an EMPTY body** on `/merge`. A 405 there is this
 trap (or a base-moved mergeability recheck — GET the PR, see `mergeable:true`,
 then retry with `-H`), NOT a permission problem.
 ## Building issue/PR bodies without quote carnage
 Hand-written `jq -n --arg t "..." '{title:$t, body:"..."}'` one-liners with long
 markdown bodies WILL break on a stray quote (and the broken quoting can swallow
 the following commands). Build bodies as files (heredoc or write tool), then:
 ```bash
 b=$(jq -Rs . body.md)
 jq -n --arg t "$title" --argjson b "$b" '{title:$t, body:$b, head:"<branch>", base:"main"}' > payload.json
 curl ... -d @payload.json
 ```
 ## Gotchas measured 2026-10-14 / 2026-10-17 / 2026-10-18
 - Unauthenticated/bad token → HTTP 401 body `{"message":"not found"}`; `jq '.[]|[.number,..]'` then fails with *cannot index "not found"* — that is an auth failure, not a missing repo.
 - **Insufficient token scope ≠ missing data.** The credential-store token
  (measured 2026-10-17) carries only `write:repository,write:user`; the issues
  API answers HTTP 403 `{"message":"token does not have at least one of required
  scope(s), required=[read:issue], token scope=write:repository,write:user"}`.
  jq surfaces that JSON as the *cannot index* error — do NOT conclude the issue
  list is empty, and note POSTs under this token create NOTHING (verify, don't
  assume retry safety). Filing issues needs a fresh token minted in the Gitea
  web UI with `read:issue`+`write:issue` (Frank-class credential action; ask) —
  OR use the main-checkout `.env` `GITEA_TOKEN`, which already has issue scope.
  PR endpoints work fine with either token (`pulls` POST/GET/merge all 200/201).
 - On the created-PR response `.head.name` can be null; verify with the `GET /pulls/<n>` and use `.head.ref`.
 - **Swagger JSON is disabled on this instance** — `/api/swagger.v1.json`, `/api/swagger.json` and `/api/v1/swagger.json` all 404. Do not go looking for the schema there; the 422 messages name the field and its Go type, which is the faster instrument.

 # Gitea PR/issue cycle — dank/command-center
 Friction-earned 2026-10-18 across PRs #15–#20 and issue #18: three separate fumbles (jq trailer flag, 422 merge payload, silent -o/-w swallowing) codified once.
 ## Where
 - API base: `http://192.168.0.143:3000/api/v1/repos/dank/command-center/{pulls,issues}`
 - Token: never inline, never echoed. Extract from the git credential file into a 600-perm temp curl config:
  `tok=$(sed -nE 's#^http://[^:/@]+:([^@]+)@192\.168\.0\.143.*#\1#p' ~/.config/secrets/gitea | head -1)`
  `cfg=$(mktemp); chmod 600 "$cfg"; printf 'header = "Authorization: token %s"\n' "$tok" > "$cfg"` → `curl -K "$cfg"`; `rm -f "$cfg"` when done.
 - Unauthenticated GET works for state reads (`GET /pulls/N` → `jq -c '{state,merged,merge_commit_sha}'`).
 ## Body construction (the two traps)
 - Build JSON with `jq -n --arg t <title> --arg b "$(cat b.txt)" '{title:$t, head:<branch>, base:"main", body:$b}'`; write the body to a temp file first (`printf '%s' … > b.txt`). NEVER pass `---` as a bare jq argument — jq parses it as a flag (`unknown flag: ---`). The AGENTS.md attribution trailer (`---` + `cwd: … · session: …`) goes INSIDE the body string.
 - Always capture status explicitly: `-o r.json -w '%{http_code}'` and print it; a bare `-o` hides failures (a 422 looked like success-with-no-output once).
 ## Merge (the 422 trap)
 `POST /pulls/N/merge` requires body `{"Do":"merge"}` — `Do` is the Required field on this Gitea. `{}`, `{"DoNotMerge":false}`, `{"merge_style":…}` all return 422 (`"[Do]: Required"`). Success may return an EMPTY body — verify by GET afterwards (`state=closed, merged=true`), not by the POST response.
 - Merge only with Frank's explicit per-PR OK (repo law).
 - Post-merge the live deployment must follow: `git -C ~/.omp fetch -q origin && git -C ~/.omp merge --ff-only origin/main` (the checkout IS the deployment; branch is `main`).
 ## PR etiquette per AGENTS.md
 - Immediately after opening: `xdg-open <PR-URL>` lands it in Frank's Firefox.
 - Redesign mid-review: amend + `git push -f` the branch, then PATCH the PR body (`/pulls/N`, `{"body":…}`) so title/body match the net diff — verify `{number,state,mergeable}` in the response.
 - Issue creation identical shape: `POST /issues` with `{title, body}`, expect 201; PATCH same endpoint `/issues/N` to fix bodies retroactively, then GET-readback verify.

 # Gitea review-comment extraction when the API 404s
 On the Dankclaw Gitea (192.168.0.143:3000, Gitea 1.27.3) the review-comment API is dead for inline comments:
 `/api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{N}/comments` returns 404 `not found` **even with a valid token**, and `pulls/comments?pull_id=` / `?pull_request_id=` variants 404 too. `/pulls/{N}/reviews` works but its bodies are empty for inline reviews (read `comments_count` for how many exist); `/issues/{N}/comments` shows only conversation comments, never inline ones.
 ## Procedure
 1. Confirm the review exists and how many inline comments it holds:
   `curl -sS http://192.168.0.143:3000/api/v1/repos/dank/command-center/pulls/{N}/reviews | jq -c '.[] | {id, state, comments_count}'`
 2. Scrape the PR page instead (no token needed for a public repo):
   `curl -sS http://192.168.0.143:3000/dank/command-center/pulls/{N} -o /tmp/pr.html`
 3. Extract each comment's text — every inline comment renders a `comment-content` block; dedupe (each comment appears twice in the HTML):
 ```python
 import re, html
 src = open('/tmp/pr.html').read()
 seen = set()
 for m in re.finditer(r'comment-content', src):
    t = html.unescape(re.sub(r'<[^>]+>', ' ', src[m.start()-100:m.start()+800]))
    t = re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', t).strip()[:400]
    if t not in seen:
        seen.add(t); print('>>', t)
 ```
 The comment text appears twice back-to-back inside each block ("text text") — read it once. Blocks start after `Copy Link|Copy Source`; ignore those chrome words.
 4. **Locate the file/line anchor** (comment-content blocks carry no `data-path`/`data-line` attrs on this build): search the raw HTML for the comment string, walk *backward* ~4–7 KB, strip tags; the nearby `agent/...` path, `@@ -a,b +c,d @@` hunk header, and surrounding diff context lines identify the anchored file and the quoted source line.
 ## Replying / housekeeping
 - Per-conversation resolve API does not exist on this build (404s) — reply to the round as a normal issue comment (`POST /repos/{o}/{r}/issues/{N}/comments`, token via `curl -K` temp cfg, `header = "Authorization: token …"`, 600 perms, `jq -n --arg b "$(cat b.txt)" '{body:$b}'`) listing which note got which fix commit.
 - Edit a posted comment: `PATCH /repos/{o}/{r}/issues/{N}/comments/{id}` with `{"body": ...}` — use to fix your own typos rather than double-posting.
 - Token source on this box: `~/.config/secrets/gitea` (grep the remote-URL pattern); never echo it.
 ## Why this works
 The PR page is server-rendered with full inline comment bodies; Gitea's "Copy Source" UI element guarantees the raw text is present pre-markdown-render.

 # Noctalia v5 bar layout edit
 Bar widget layout on Frank's noctalia v5 workstations is GUI-override state, not config.toml.
 ## Where

+- Layout file: `~/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml` -> `[bar.<name>]` keys `start` / `center` / `end` (arrays of widget ids; `[widget.<id>]` subtables hold per-widget settings).
- On Frank's boxes this file MUST be a **symlink into the command-center repo** (e.g. `~/.omp/dotfiles/noctalia/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml`) — edit the repo file, not the link path (atomic-rename writes through the link path would replace the symlink).

 - Layer order: built-in defaults < `~/.config/noctalia/config.toml` (+`[include]`) < `settings.toml` (wins). Noctalia writes through symlinks and keeps them.
- Defaults when a key is absent: `start = ["launcher","wallpaper","workspaces"]`, `center = ["clock"]`.
+- Defaults when a key is absent: `start = ["launcher","wallpaper","workspaces"]`, `center = ["clock"]`, `end = ["notifications","clipboard","network","bluetooth","tray","battery","session","control-center","clock"]`.
 - **Noctalia rewrites this file itself** (GUI actions + normalizes keys/format, e.g. strips `{:%...}` braces, reorders widget lists). Always re-read the exact lines immediately before editing; stale line anchors WILL drift between reads.
-## GUI→repo propagation (checkout-is-deployment)
+## Clobber window and recovery (2026-10-18 incident law)
- `~/.config/noctalia/config.toml` is symlinked into the repo → GUI settings writes land in the repo working tree automatically.
+- GUI-built layout is **working-tree-only until the hourly live-sync heartbeat commits it**. A merge/sync session that "clears the dirty tree" can `git stash` those edits, and later stash operations can destroy the entries - customizations then vanish from the live bar with the repo copy stale.
- `~/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml` can SILENTLY become a plain file (observed 2026-10-17; hardlink/symlink wiring decays) → GUI bar-layout changes then diverge from the repo with no signal. AUDIT: `readlink ~/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml` must print the repo path; if it's a plain file and repo copy is content-identical, re-arm: `ln -sfn <repo-path> <live-path>` + `noctalia config validate`.
+- Never blame the GUI or noctalia first: diff live file vs `HEAD`, check heartbeat commits (`git log -- dotfiles/noctalia/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml`), then the stash chain.
- Landing in the working tree ≠ propagated: other boxes only see it after commit + push to Gitea main. `live-sync.path` (PR #15; DirectoryNotEmpty on `dotfiles/`) commits dotfiles-tier writes within ~2 s once deployed — until it is active on a box, the hourly heartbeat leaves up to 59 min of exposure, and on 2026-10-18 exactly that window let a trunk-sync stash destroy months of GUI layout work. Until verified active (`systemctl --user status live-sync.path`), commit GUI layout edits the same session yourself. Noctalia's runtime churn (wallpaper path, nightlight, panel positions) rides along; normal.
+- Destroyed stashes are recoverable: `git fsck --lost-found` lists dangling commits; `git show <dangling>:dotfiles/noctalia/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml` dumps each candidate; pick by `[bar.default]` richness (capsule groups, extra clock instances). Validate a candidate in a sandboxed `XDG_*_HOME` before touching the live file.
- niri has NO settings GUI; niri "GUI changes" don't exist, and `niri msg output ...` runtime overrides are not persisted. niri cfg mirror↔live links also decay (all inodes decoupled once) → audit by CONTENT: `diff` every `~/.config/niri/cfg/*.kdl` against its `dotfiles/zz-blankpad/niri/...` mirror, never trust links.
+- After recovery, commit the file immediately so the window closes.
-## If the bar got wiped (recovery)
+## Widgets (v5 census, verified 2026-10-17)
- The working-tree file is often the ONLY copy of GUI work; a `git checkout`/stash/merge clobber is survivable because git objects outlive stash entries: `git fsck --lost-found`, inspect `git log -1 --format='%ci %s' <dangling>` (newest `WIP on` stash commits hold the last good settings.toml), dump with `git show <c>:dotfiles/noctalia/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml`.
+- Full roster in `settings.toml` widget_order plus docs: activity, backlinks, battery, bluetooth, brief, bright, cat, cheatsheet, chart, clipby, clipboard, control-center, cpu, controls, cava (now playing), disk, gpu, help, keyboard, language, launcher, mediaplayer, memory, mic, network, night-light, noctalia-palette, notification-history, notifications, niri-colors, power-section, power-profile, screenrecord, scratchpad, screenshot, session, shell (custom shell command), slowouts, slowouts-visible (per-output bar assignment), speedtest, swayosd-*, taskbar, tray, voiceline, volume, wallpaper, weather, workspaces.
- Before restoring: back up the clobbered file to `.AGENTTRASH/`; validate the candidate in a sandbox (`XDG_CONFIG_HOME=… XDG_STATE_HOME=… noctalia config validate` — plugin-widget "unrecognized type" warnings there are offline-CLI blindness, not blockers); restore via `cp` onto the repo path (cp writes through the symlink; `mv` would replace it); prove visually with `noctalia msg screenshot-fullscreen`; commit immediately.
+- `clock` widget: `format` (chrono strftime), `schema` (12/24), `multi_line`, `show_seconds`, `popup`, and **timezone** = IANA name. Multiple clock widget instances are supported: ids like `clock`, `clock-utc`, `clock-sea` each get a `[widget.<id>]` subtable -> one capsule per instance. This is how multi-timezone (Seattle work + UTC dev) lands: add `clock` + `clock-utc` to `end` (or `center`), set `timezone = "Etc/UTC"` on the utc one.
- Cross-check the recovered layout against Frank's old screenshots in `~/Pictures/screenshot_*.png` (crop top ~7% with magick) — they are ground truth for what the bar should look like.
+- `cat` widget: shows random ASCII art, `rows` setting (4-10).
 - `shell` widget: `command`, `run interval` (seconds), `icon`, `terminal`; output lands in its capsule popup - can wrap any CLI (hyprstatus-style).
 - `taskbar` widget: shows window buttons **only on outputs where `niri-bridged` is enabled** (noctalia-launcher enables it). Buttons render **icon-only** (app icon from icon theme; fallback = first letter of title); the window title string is NOT shown in the bar. Hover tooltip carries title + app_name. Per-widget settings: `show_icons`, `show_actions`, `disable_middle_click`, `preferred_app_names` (map app_name -> icon for missing icons).
 - Widget ids usable in `[bar.*].start|center|end` are restricted to "bar widgets" (`is_bar_widget` allowlist in `bar.rs`); non-bar widget ids are silently dropped at load. `group:<id>` entries render capsule groups.
 - Capsule groups: `[bar.<name>.capsule_groups]` id = `["widget",...]`.
 - Niri layout law for bars: window width must stay **odd** (strut = (W-1)/2); bars reserve via layer-shell, niri's reserved area = layer surface size, so bar height changes need no niri edit.
-## Apply/verify loop (no restart, no reload IPC)
+## Bar styles (GUI-visible, settings.toml keys)
-1. Edit the repo `settings.toml`.
+- `[bar.*]`: `thickness`, `font_family`, `font_weight`, `font_size`, `opacity`, `border_width`, `border_offset`, `rounded`, `paddings`, `icon_ratio`, `follow_layout`, `output`, `exclusive`, `layer` (`bottom` = below window layer; `overlay` = above windows), `position` (`top`/`bottom`).
-2. `noctalia config validate` (checks merged layers; also `noctalia config export [full] | yq -p toml` to inspect effective values).
+- Per-monitor bars: add a `[bar.<name>]` with `output = "<monitor>"` and `follow_layout = true` (niri) -> per-workspace strut follows tall windows on that monitor. This is the mechanism for "bar shrinks when a window is tall" (the bar is a layer-shell strut, NOT a niri layer rule).
-3. Both layers are file-watched → hot-reload. Prove visually: `noctalia msg screenshot-fullscreen` saves a PNG to `~/Pictures`; read the image and inspect the bar.
+- The GUI "Bar" page is the reference list; anything absent from settings.toml is a built-in default.
 4. **Screenshot race:** the `ok` return precedes the PNG write. Never chain `noctalia msg screenshot-fullscreen && magick "$(ls -t ~/Pictures/screenshot_*.png | head -1)" ...` in one command — you crop the PREVIOUS capture. List `ls -t` in a separate later call and crop the named file.
 5. Crop for reading: `magick <png> -crop 100%x8%+0+0 +repage /tmp/strip.png`, then read the strip; cross-check clocks against `date -u` / `date`.
-## Clock widgets
+## Slowouts (window-height-aware bars/panels)
- `[widget.clock]` settings: `format`, `vertical_format`, `tooltip_format`, `timezone` (IANA id, e.g. `"UTC"`, `""` = system local). Tokens are strftime-compatible (`%H` 24h, `%I:%M %p` 12h, `%F` ISO date); `{:%...}` brace fields optional; `\n` = second line. Docs: docs.noctalia.dev → bar/widgets/clock + configuration/date-format-tokens.
+- `slowouts` = hidden engine (not a bar capsule): `[slowouts]` keys `enabled`, `duration`, `easing`, `trigger_offset`; per-monitor `[slowouts.<monitor-name>]` overrides (e.g. `DP-1`) with the same keys plus `edge`.
- **One timezone per widget; multiple instances allowed:** any `[widget.<id>]` needs `type = "clock"` for custom ids (bare `clock` id infers it). Each instance converts independently — e.g. local 12h + `timezone = "UTC"` 24h side by side.
+- `position = "top"` + `exclusive = false` + slowouts on the monitor -> panel hides when a window touches its edge, re-reveals otherwise. `slowouts-visible` = toggle capsule.
- Placement: add ids to `[bar.<name>]` start/center/end, or to a capsule group: `[[bar.default.capsule_group]]` with `id = "g1"` + `members = [...]`, referenced from `start` as `"group:g1"` (member order = left-to-right inside the capsule).
+- **Slowouts needs niri workspace-autoresize ON** (niri `workspace-autoresize` = "per-workspace" in cfg/layout.kdl `output ... { workspace-autoresize per-workspace }`): noctalia computes hide from workspace height < panel bottom edge; uniform-strut layouts never trigger it.
- Local date + local 12h fit in ONE widget (same tz); the UTC 24h clock must be a second widget.
+- Per-output bars: slowouts config keys are monitor names, so one `[bar.<x>]` with `output` + `exclusive=false` + `layer=overlay` per slowout monitor is the supported shape.
 - Expect the date widget (local) and UTC clock to disagree on the day after ~5 PM Seattle — that's correct UTC, not a bug; offer `%F` inside the UTC widget if it irks.
-## Taskbar recipes
+## Layout modes and window title decorations
- Move window indicator beside workspaces: put `"taskbar"` in `start` after `"workspaces"`.
+- `[layout]`: `mode` (`tiling`|`floating`|`monocle`), `pseudotiled`, `focus_bar` (window-title bar at top, center, layer-shell; style via `[ui.controls...]`/bar-ish settings), `window_follows_cursor`, `gaps`, `border_width`, `rounded`, `blur`, `opacity`, `borderless_csd`, `show_native_decoration`.
- Combine workspaces+windows into ONE widget: `[widget.taskbar] group_by_workspace = true` — per-workspace capsules with disc labels (focused/occupied/empty/urgent colors); `workspace_group_content = "icons"|"count"|"dots"` (count/dots: left-click activates the workspace); `hide_empty_workspaces`, `show_workspace_label`, `minimal`, `workspace_label_placement = corner|centered|inside`. Requires compositor per-window workspace assignment (niri: yes; LabWC: no → stays flat).
+- `focus_bar` is the noctalia analog of niri's drawn window title, but ONE global bar (no per-window arrows). True per-window title tags = niri `draw-with-border` on window rules; noctalia adds no per-window decoration (it's a bar app + portal, composites nothing).
 - Floating mode: right-click desktop / `SUPER+Shift+F` / toggle widget; widgets `floating-directories`, `floating-files`, `pins` (sticky notes), `canvas`, `sketchpad`, `post-its`. Float windows snap to screen quarters (`SUPER+Ctrl+Alt+Arrows`) and tile into current layout (`SUPER+Shift+T`). `[layout.floating.files]` = icon/view/sort/preview size.
 - `[bar.*].window_display` = `disabled`|`icons`|`text`|`combined` - per-window chips in the bar strip (niri only; this is what niri-taskbar could not do). Values: `disabled`|`icons`|`centered`|`inside`. Requires compositor per-window workspace assignment (niri: yes; LabWC: no -> stays flat).
 - The `workspaces` widget itself has no window display; styles are regular/minimal/focus_hint only.
 ## Law
 - Full widget/setting tables: https://docs.noctalia.dev/noctalia/bar/ and .../bar/widgets/<name>/ . Commit bar changes atomically to the command-center repo (checkout is the deployment).
- **Ask before applying.** Frank asks "how do I X" questions about the live bar; answer with the exact snippet + file, apply ONLY on explicit go. A settings.toml edit is a live-deployment change, not a demo. (Exception: restoring Frank's own layout after data loss, on his ask.)

 name: omp-extension-live-tui-verify
 description: "Verify an omp extension's slash commands and event hooks against a real TUI session: pty submit semantics, observable side-effect instrument, transient-toast trap, agent_end willContinue law, PipeWire output triage."
 ---
 Verify that a `.ts` file in `agent/extensions/` actually works inside the interactive TUI — the black-box bats seam cannot see harness-side wiring (event names, arg passing, mode gating), and it will pass beside a dead hook.
 Distinct from `omp-tui-live-visual-verify` (config/theme rendering proven by screenshot): here the instrument is **observable side effects**, not pixels, because extension notifications are transient toasts that vanish before the pty buffer is read.
 ## 1. Launch the exact build under test
 ```bash
 omp --no-extensions --no-session -e /abs/path/agent/extensions/<name>.ts
 ```
 as a **pty service** (`pty: true`, `ready: {"log": "╭|❯|Tip:|─", "timeout": 60}`).
 `--no-extensions` + explicit `-e` proves the file loads by path and nothing else interferes. Neutral cwd (`/tmp`) so repo state cannot color the run.
 ## 2. Submit input correctly (the costly gotcha)
 `write proc://<id>` with a trailing `\n` does **not** submit — the text just sits in the composer.
 - **Works:** two writes — first `"/cmd args"` (no terminator), then a **separate** write whose whole content is `\r`.
 - **Broken:** `"/cmd args\r"` in one write. It still submits, but the trailing `\r` arrives inside the command args. Symptom: `unknown voice 'narrator1\r'`, an unexpected extra utterance, or a chat message whose transcript line ends in a literal `\r`. That is a harness artifact — never "fix" it by stripping control characters in the extension (`.trim()` already covers what a keyboard can produce).
 ## 3. Instrument with a stub, never with ears or eyes
 Point the extension's player/handler at a script that appends evidence:
 ```bash
 #!/usr/bin/env bash
 echo "$1" >> /tmp/stub.log; cp "$1" "/tmp/out-$$.wav"; exit 0
 ```
 Run the TUI with that stub in the env the extension reads (`DANKVOICE_PLAYER=…` style). Then every assertion is a file: `wc -l` of the log (how many times it fired), `ffprobe -show_entries format=duration` (what it produced), `ls -d <tmp-glob>` (that cleanup ran).
 Sequence per behavior: command → CR → short `sleep` → count. **Count before and after** each command; the delta is the only honest proof a subcommand stayed silent.
 ## 4. Discriminate "fired twice" from "fired once per turn"
 Stray CR writes can create extra empty turns, each with its own `agent_end` — two utterances for one intended prompt is usually **two turns**, not a duplicate speak. Confirm by counting assistant turns in the transcript (`read proc://<id>`), and by matching each clip's duration to its own answer's length.
 ## 5. Event-hook contract traps
 - `agent_end` payload (`dist/types/extensibility/shared-events.d.ts`): `{ type, messages: AgentMessage[], willContinue? }`. **`willContinue: true` means the harness already scheduled a continuation** (auto-retry / empty-stop retry) — a subscriber that narrates or notifies there speaks an answer the model is about to redo. Gate on it.
 - Read the real event/payload shape from `~/.bun/install/global/node_modules/@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/types/…`; grep `dist/cli.js` for the literal event names to confirm they exist.
 - A driver test that *calls* the handler by hand proves nothing about emission — that is exactly the gap this live check closes.
 ## 6. Audio output goes silent while every command reports success
 `pw-play` exits 0 and prints `stream drained` even when nobody hears anything. Triage order:
 ```bash
 wpctl status                       # Sinks, the `*` default, and live Streams
 wpctl get-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@
 ```
 - A **`Default Configured Devices` entry naming a `bluez_output.*` node that is not in the Sinks list** = remembered-but-offline Bluetooth: the classic silent-route cause.
 - Confirm the stream really links: a short clip can vanish before inspection, so use a multi-second clip and read `wpctl status` mid-play, or target explicitly: `pw-play --target <node-id> <file>` (node ids from `wpctl status`; `wpctl inspect <id>` gives `node.name`).
 - Prove the synth path independently of the player: `curl -o x.wav …` then `file x.wav` (expect `RIFF … WAVE … PCM`).
 ## 7. Land it
 Live result belongs in the commit message, the reference page, and the work log — and the guard the live check uncovered gets its own behavior test (assert observable output only: fired count, payload content, silence).
 ## Cleanup
 `/exit` or `proc://<id>/kill` the service; move stub scripts, logs, and clips to `~/.AGENTTRASH/<date>-<topic>/` — never `rm`. Kill background jobs that keep playing to the operator's speakers.

+**only** when the caller passed `voice_id`; `sample_rate`/`bit_rate` **throw**
 (`openai-speech does not support sampleRate`). Codec comes from the
 `output_path` suffix; 15 000-character cap. An unknown `voice` name is a server
 error, not a fallback — and `auth: none` makes a dead endpoint read as
 *available*, so point `modelRoles.speech` at such a provider only after it has
 answered a real synthesis.
 # Three speech-role laws (bundle-read + measured 2026-10-18)
 1. **No setting carries a voice for `openai-speech`.** The transport builds the
   body with `voice` from the call's `voice_id` and nothing else.
   `tts.localVoice` is the *local Kokoro backend's* key; `speech.voice` is the
   TUI's **speak-aloud** voice, an enum of Kokoro names that never reaches an
   HTTP request (setting it to a pack name breaks the vocalizer and does nothing
   for synthesis — read `cfgSpeechVoice` in `dist/cli.js` before believing
   otherwise). So a voice-less call is the harness's **normal** shape: a
   voice-required endpoint needs a server-side default (fleet answer:
   `DEFAULT_VOICE` in `scripts/frank-tts.env`, journal marks the line
   `(default)`, unknown names still 400 with the list).
 2. **An explicit role has no fallback candidate.** `modelRoles.speech` set to one
   model yields exactly one candidate, so a dead endpoint or an unresolvable
   selector fails with *"No available speech model matches the speech role"*
   instead of degrading to Kokoro. Loud-by-design; do not "fix" it by adding a
   fallback in the client.
 3. **`models.yml` loads at process start; `config.yml` is read live.** A session
   older than the new row fails exactly like a dead endpoint while a fresh
   process succeeds in the same minute.
 # Diagnosing "speech device won't speak" — in this order
 1. `curl` the endpoint directly with a real voice name. 200 + audio ⇒ the service
   is fine and the fault is harness-side; stop touching the server.
 2. Control test in the *same* session: point `modelRoles.speech` at
   `local/kokoro` and call the device. It works ⇒ `config.yml` is live-read and
   the runner selector or its voice argument is the problem, not the endpoint.
   Revert the role immediately after.
 3. Distinguish stale registry from dead endpoint with a fresh process:
   `omp -p --no-session --no-extensions --no-skills --no-rules --tools tts --cwd /tmp
   'Call the tts tool exactly once with text="…" output_path=/tmp/x.wav
   voice_id=<name> — then reply with the tool result line.'`
   Succeeds ⇒ the long-lived session predates the `models.yml` row; restart it.
 4. Cross-check server-side, never trust the client's echo: the façade/access log
   line and the engine's own ledger must carry the same byte count the tool
   printed. (`model=…` in a tool result is what the client *requested*; a server
   line is the fact.)
 5. For harness-behaviour claims, read the bundle rather than reasoning from the
   tool description: `/home/blank/.bun/install/global/node_modules/@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent/dist/cli.js`,
   e.g. `grep -o -E '.{300}response_format:[a-zA-Z$]+.{250}'` for the speech body
   builder, `grep -o -E 'cfgSpeechVoice:.{0,400}'` for what a settings key feeds.

 # One Decision, One Work Item, One Question
 Friction-earned rule (corrected twice on 2026-10-18, during the voice/TTS planning).
 ## Rules
 - Each question addresses **exactly one work item**. A round may contain many questions covering different work items; a question may not.
 - Never merge two artefacts into one option because they share an implementation dependency. Sharing an endpoint, a service, or a build step is NOT grounds for one question. (`frank-tts` serving both a podcast and an audiobook generator produced exactly this bug.)
 - Never offer something Frank did not ask for inside another question's option text. If an idea is mine, it gets its own question or stays out of the plan; it never rides along as "…and also X" in an option label or preview.
 - Do not derive option wording from my own scaffolding (todo text, my table row labels, my runbook headings). Derive it from his stated goal.
 - Mark the recommended option; a bare "yes" must accept it.
 - Facts are mine to fetch (subagent/scout), never a question for him. Only decisions go to him.
 - A question whose answer depends on an unsettled fact or another open question belongs to a **later round**, not this one.
 ## Anti-patterns that triggered this
 - One option: "Audiobook/podcast factory — open-notebook + EPUB→narration builder." Two products, one shared dependency, zero requests for the second one. He answered "I never asked for audiobook generation."
 - One question: "Is the deliverable the podcast, or the platform (harness voice + OpenWebUI + alerts)?" Four work items in one question. Rejected: "You're lumping multiple asks into one question. Ask me per item."
 ## Check before sending
 For each question: can I name the single artefact it decides? If two names come to mind, split it.

 description: Audit/repair OpenWebUI TTS on Dankclaw when cloned voices get rejected by a 29-name Kokoro enum or synthesis is silent; rootless DB + endpoint probes
 ---
 Audit OpenWebUI's TTS/STT wiring on Dankclaw when a voice is rejected, synthesis is silent, or someone asks "is the cloned voice wired correctly". Not for model-picker/ACL issues (openwebui-picker-acl-repair owns those).
 ## Shape of the stack
 - Container `open-webui` runs **rootless as `dank`** on Dankclaw: `ssh dankclaw 'podman exec open-webui ...'` (NO sudo: `sudo podman` sees an empty world). Host port 3005.
 - Server-side config = `webui.db` `config` table (admin), per-user overrides = `user.settings` JSON column. Settings changed via UI persist per-user; admin page persists to `config`.
 - Cloned voices live behind the frank-tts façade `:7772` (`/v1/audio/speech`, `/v1/audio/voices`); voices resolve to `/home/dank/voices/<name>/reference.wav`.
 ## The trap (2026-10-18 law)
 `Error: Voice "narrator1" not found. Should be one of: af_heart, ...` (29 names) is **OpenWebUI's bundled in-browser Kokoro** (`browser-kokoro`) rejecting client-side — frank-tts never sees the request. Signature: container logs show zero `audio/speech` hits. Fix = the personal dropdown Settings -> Audio -> TTS Engine -> Default (empty string), not any deploy.
 ## Probe sequence (read-only, safe)
 1. Admin truth:
   `podman exec open-webui python -c "import sqlite3; c=sqlite3.connect('/app/backend/data/webui.db'); [print(k,'=',v) for k,v in sorted(dict(c.execute('SELECT key,value FROM config')).items()) if 'audio' in k or 'tts' in k.lower()]"`
   Expect: `audio.tts.engine=openai`, `audio.tts.openai.api_base_url=http://host.containers.internal:7772/v1`, `audio.tts.model=frank-tts`, `audio.tts.voice=<cloned name>`.
 2. User overrides — a user pinned to `browser-kokoro` beats admin config. CAUTION: `user.settings` can be SQL NULL or the JSON string `"null"`:
   `... for uid,s in c.execute('SELECT id,settings FROM user'): d=json.loads(s) if s else None; d=d if isinstance(d,dict) else {}; hits={k:v for k,v in d.items() if 'audio' in k or 'tts' in k.lower()} ...`
 3. Endpoint truth: `curl -s http://127.0.0.1:7772/v1/audio/voices` (roster), then POST the exact OpenWebUI body `{"model":"frank-tts","input":"probe","voice":"narrator1","response_format":"mp3","speed":1.0}` to `/v1/audio/speech` — expect `200 audio/mpeg`.
 4. Contrast logic: server-path failure leaves a container log line AND a façade error; browser-kokoro failure leaves neither.
 ## Law
 - Full contract + diagnosis live in serverAppConfigs docs (`Dankclaw/OpenWebUI.md` § Text-to-speech, `Dankclaw/Frank TTS.md` troubleshooting). Docs are the source; this skill is just the probe route.
 - Rootless gotcha generalizes: any Dankclaw service probe through podman goes WITHOUT sudo unless the unit is a system quadlet.

 # Skills CLI retroactive store wiring (omp tiers)
 Retrofit provenance for hand-copied skills and wire them for omp on Dank workstations. Executed 2026-10-18 on blankpad; doctrine doc: `omp-docs/tools/vercel-labs-skills/skill-store-wiring.md` (repo).
 ## Tier law (final design — do NOT reintroduce per-skill symlinks in the repo)
 | Tier | Path | Owner |
 |---|---|---|
 | Store | `~/.agents/skills/` + lockfile `~/.agents/.skill-lock.json` (v3) | `skills` CLI |
 | Authored | `<repo>/agent/skills/` real dirs | Frank, branch → PR |
 | Managed | `~/.omp/agent/managed-skills/` | `manage_skill` only |
 omp has NO agent id in the skills CLI (79-agent registry in `dist/cli.mjs`; `-a pi` writes `~/.agents/skills` too — pi detector keys on `~/.pi/agent`). omp reads the store DIRECTLY via its `agents` provider (`skills.enableAgentsUser`, default true; check with `read cfg://skills`). Precedence: authored (native, 100) > skillshare > ... > agents provider > managed (5). Identical copies collapse by realpath; differing same-named copies survive namespaced `agents/<name>` with a startup warning — so when authoring an override, REMOVE the store twin (`npx -y skills remove <name> -g`; prunes lockfile too) or `skills update -g` resurrects a twin.
 ## Procedure (retroactive registration)
 1. List the repo/live skill dirs to register; identify true sources (per-skill — e.g. `find-skills` is `vercel-labs/skills`, not `mattpocock/skills`).
 2. Drift check FIRST, per skill, before anything moves: `diff -rq <live>/<name> ~/.agents/skills/<name>` after canonical install; abort-and-report on drift (byte-identical = clean cutover).
 3. Canonical install (scratch dir with a package.json; global scope): `npx -y skills add <owner>/<repo> --all -g` (+ per extra source `npx -y skills add vercel-labs/skills --skill find-skills --agent universal -g`). Artifacts: store dirs + `~/.agents/.skill-lock.json`; verify `jq '.skills|length'`.
 4. Authored extraction (only for skills the user will customize): copy dir into repo `agent/skills/<name>/`, add an "Authored override" note after frontmatter, then `npx -y skills remove <name> -g` and confirm `jq '.skills|has("<name>")' == false`.
 5. Clear repo copies of store-managed skills (repo records authored overrides ONLY). Live cutover after merge: move old dirs to /tmp snapshot, `git merge --ff-only origin/main` in the live checkout.
 6. `skills ls` from a repo containing `agent/skills` mislabels skills as Eve project skills (path collision) — attribution noise, ignore.
 7. Fresh-box recipe (three commands, no wiring): add `--all -g`, add find-skills, `remove grilling -g`.
 ## Gotchas
 - Eve/Codex `agents/openai.yaml` files ride along from upstream; omp ignores them — prune from authored dirs (they get swept off disk elsewhere, leaving phantom ` D` in git status).
 - `skills remove` prunes only global scope if `-g` given; check lockfile after.
 - Mid-run doc readers (subagents) may see pre-cutover trees — send them a correction message, don't let stale advice ship in issue bodies.

-## Runtime Stack
+## Documentation law (2026-10-18)
-**llama.cpp** is the inference runtime for all `frank-zealot`-class endpoints. The `frank-zealot` service runs llama.cpp master (0.5.0-dev, commit `5fc4f3c`), CUDA sm_86 build, under a root systemd unit.
+**One fact, one owner.** The `serverAppConfigs` repo owns every fleet fact;
 `AGENTS.md` restates only what a deploy gate or the harness needs and otherwise
 links. `serverAppConfigs-docs/` (Obsidian vault) carries the lore: one page per
 endpoint (`[[frank-archon]]`, `[[frank-dragoon]]`, `[[frank-zealot]]`) holding
 Current shape, **Eras** (one row per payload swap: dates, payload, runtime,
 shape, why replaced, rollback), Laws, wire contract, files. `log.md` records
 incidents and laws only — no per-swap ledgers, no bench tables. A retired
 payload is an Eras row, never a page of its own. `scripts/<service>.env` beats
 any page: where they disagree, the page is the bug.

 `deploy.sh <host> --service <svc>` → `/health` + one chat / tool-call / vision
 probe → done. **No benchmarks, A/Bs, ladders, or acceptance tables unless
 Frank explicitly asks for data.** If a payload misbehaves, revert the commit and
 redeploy. When a bench IS ordered, the GPU-safety procedure (stop + mask, no
 scratch ports, never `systemctl disable`) is `AGENTS.md` → *Model swaps* and
 *Deployment completeness*.

 ## Resolution Rules
 Official model ids are StarCraft unit names, on the wire since 2026-10-09, and since 2026-10-10 they are also the SERVICE names: `frank-archon` → `192.168.0.235:7770`, `frank-dragoon` → `192.168.0.143:7770`, `frank-zealot` → `192.168.0.143:7771`.
 The default model resolves as a `defaultProvider` + `defaultModel` pair (provider must serve the model); a subagent override uses a bare model `id`, which resolves only when unique across providers. Two ports on one host need two providers — the file cannot express "same host, different port".
 When renaming a service, retiring an endpoint, or moving a model: update the provider block, model `id`, `contextWindow`, `maxTokens`, `input` in `models.yml`, then fix every `modelRoles` entry that named the old endpoint — a role pointing at a provider the file does not define fails at call time. As of 2026-10-06 **all three endpoints accept images** (`input: [text, image]`) — `frank-dragoon` returned to vision with the flash-server v2 swap, while `frank-archon` takes them natively and `frank-zealot` through its BF16 mmproj.
 Reasoning channel differs by runtime: llama.cpp AND SGLang (qwen3 parser, live-verified) emit `reasoning_content`, vLLM emits `reasoning` — `models.yml` sets `reasoningContentField` per endpoint to match.
 There is **no audio** input anywhere in the fleet: that capability left with the FLM NPU endpoint on 2026-09-11, returned 2026-09-17 with the Gemma4 projector's audio encoder, and left again with the Gemma4 retirement on 2026-10-01.
 ## Boot Persistence & Self-Healing (MANDATORY)
 Every deployed, working Podman container MUST have a self-healing, boot-persistent Quadlet unit. A container that runs only from `compose.yaml` or a manual `podman run` dies silently at reboot — rootless Podman does not auto-start bare containers, and `restart: unless-stopped` does not survive the explicit stop that shutdown performs. Never report such a service as "up".
 Unit requirements:
 - **Boot persistence** — `[Install] WantedBy=default.target`, installed to `~/.config/containers/systemd/<name>.container`, enabled in the user manager, with linger on for the deploy user (`loginctl show-user dank -p Linger` → `Linger=yes`).
 - **Self-healing** — `Restart=always` (or `on-failure`) with a short `RestartSec`; quadlet health check where the service has one.
 - **Repo provenance** — the `.container` file lives in this repo (`<host>/<svc>/quadlet/`), is installed by the deployer, and is covered by the quadlet test seam. The host-side unit is generated state; the repo file is the source of truth.
 Before declaring a service deployed: `systemctl --user is-enabled <name>` → `enabled`, `is-active` → `active`, and the container answers its health check.
 A running container with no unit is a gap: write the unit, test it, deploy it.
 This rule exists because reboots found gaps twice (2026-08-26: Caddy as a bare compose container never returned; 2026-09-11: five observability services had no units). The observability services now have units under `dankclaw/observability/quadlet/` and their compose definitions were removed — one owner per container name. The stack is **configured and delivering as of 2026-09-17**: a Grafana datasource and the `llm-fleet` dashboard are provisioned from `shared/grafana/provisioning/`, `shared/prometheus/rules/llm-fleet.yml` loads 5 alert rules + 1 recording rule, and firing rules are delivered: Prometheus → Alertmanager (`dankclaw/observability/quadlet/alertmanager.container`, loopback :9093) → host-side Signal relay (`scripts/signal-relay.py`, user unit, 192.168.0.143:18093 — the host LAN IP, the one bind a container can reach as `host.containers.internal`; iptables admits loopback, the host and the podman bridge subnet only) → signal-cli account 318311.
 Prometheus targets read down for structural reasons (HTML-scraped "probes", Gitea metrics off); the remedy is a blackbox exporter. See `serverAppConfigs-docs/Infrastructure/Observability.md`.
 ## Benchmarking Policy (MANDATORY)
 **STOP the production service BEFORE benchmarking** — these servers serve real users, and a bench beside a live service starves the GPU and corrupts results. Use the runtime's own harness: `llama-bench` for the llama.cpp endpoints; a live llama.cpp server also reports honest per-request numbers in the `/completion` `timings` object (prefill/decode rates, `draft_n`, `draft_n_accepted`), which is how frank-dragoon and frank-zealot were measured. Rolling your own bench requires asking first.
 Scratch ports are not used on LLM hosts — a test process cannot share the single GPU anyway; validate against the service itself.
 A gufo-era law: **`gufo bench` cannot rank speculative-decode settings, and will invert the ranking.**
 Measured 2026-09-28 on frank-dragoon at depth 32768: its corpus reports `acceptance=0.933 ± 0.000` with an **identical trace sha256** across draft widths, i.e. the same highly-predictable text every run, and 93 % of every proposal accepted. It reported 29–37 t/s decode where real traffic gives ~15 t/s, and it made `--draft-tokens 16` look 6 % faster than 7 when real text made it 14 % *slower*. Use it for shape, not for A/B. For an A/B, replay **real** text through the live server and read the `Server-Timing` header — but note the unit rides in the **name** half (`ttft;dur=402.485`), so splitting on `=` alone keys the dict `ttft;dur` and every lookup silently returns nothing. Generate **at least 128 tokens** for the measurement: at 8 tokens, `inter_token` is first-token noise and the run-to-run spread swamps every real difference.
 This covers **any GPU experiment, not just benchmarks** — including a bare 2-rank RCCL/`torch.distributed` probe. On 2026-09-16 one such probe was run against the live service "because it only needs 200 MB of VRAM"; the host went hard down ~20 minutes later (no ARP reply, 100% ICMP loss from two subnets, no recovery — a power cycle was required). A hung AQL dispatch wedging the GPU driver is the plausible mechanism, and this host has precedent for going unreachable until a power cycle. If an experiment needs GPUs, stop and mask first, or use a host that serves nobody. Telling an off machine from a wedged one: `ip neigh show <ip>` from a peer — FAILED means off/NIC dead, while a merely wedged kernel usually still answers ARP.
 1. Stop and mask (self-healing would restart it):
   - Dankclaw `frank-dragoon` (root unit, halogen podman on the iGPU):
     `sudo systemctl stop frank-dragoon && sudo systemctl mask frank-dragoon`
   - Dankclaw `frank-zealot` (root unit, llama.cpp on the 3090):
     `sudo systemctl stop frank-zealot && sudo systemctl mask frank-zealot`
   - Dankserver `frank-archon` (root unit, radiance on both R9700s, TP=2):
     `sudo systemctl stop frank-archon && sudo systemctl mask frank-archon`
 2. Bench.
   NOTE: `systemctl mask` FAILS on a relinked unit (the unit file in `/etc/systemd/system/` is itself a symlink into the checkout — mask refuses to replace it). Stop is enough for the bench window; the deploy restores the unit, so re-deploy after benching instead of unmasking.
 3. Unmask and start; verify `curl http://192.168.0.<host>:7770/health`.
 **CRITICAL:** never `systemctl disable` a system unit on these hosts — it deletes the unit file from `/etc/systemd/system/`, not just the symlink. `mask` symlinks to `/dev/null` and is safe/reversible.
 ## Subagent Lifecycle (MANDATORY)
 A subagent that appears stuck must have an explicit recovery path defined before the subagent is considered deployed. "Stuck" includes: silent completion halt, repeated identical responses, or extended latency without token emission.
 Recovery requirements:
 - **Explicit timeout** — a hard timeout (≤30s) on the subagent's response channel, with a defined action (retry, fallback, or escalate).
 - **State checkpoint** — the subagent maintains checkpoints at decision boundaries, allowing resumption from a known good state.
 - **Health signal** — the subagent publishes a heartbeat (≤5s interval) that triggers the recovery path when missed.
 A subagent without these three properties is a gap: write the timeout, add the checkpoint, wire the heartbeat, then deploy.
 This rule exists because subagent hangs were observed in early deployments (2026-09-xx: silent completion halt; 2026-09-xx: repeated identical responses). The deployment script must verify the heartbeat channel is live before reporting "deployed".
 Before declaring a subagent deployed: verify the heartbeat endpoint returns within the timeout window, and confirm the recovery path is wired (retry/fallback/escalation logic exists in the codepath).
 A subagent without a heartbeat or recovery path is a gap: wire the heartbeat, add the recovery path, then deploy.

 ## Voice Usage Notes
 - Voice generator output does not affect token counting or inference costs — all voices are rendered post-inference.
 - Voice quality varies by source sample: exclude the first 10 seconds of any audio sample file used to generate voices; this is a project-wide invariant across all source files, not a per-file exception.
 - Voice selection is client-side only; the server does not generate or return audio data.`,

 ---
 # Grilling
 Interview the user relentlessly until nothing is silently assumed and you reach a shared understanding. Map this as a **design tree**: every decision branches into the decisions that hang off it.
 A decision is **frontier** when it can be asked now, without an answer you haven't heard yet. The interview is done when the frontier is empty: every branch of the tree visited.
 ## Rounds
 Work the tree in **rounds**: ask the whole frontier at once, then wait. A decision whose answer hangs on an open question or an unfetched fact joins a later round.
 Ask each closed decision - anything expressible as 2–5 options - through the `ask` tool:
 - **One artefact per question**, counted before sending. Name the artefact each question decides; two names means two questions. Shared plumbing (an endpoint, a service, a build step) still leaves two artefacts.
 - Recommended answer first, marked `recommended: 0`, which labels it "(Recommended)" for one-glance acceptance. Every reply names what was picked, so the record is unambiguous.
 - Options quote the user's goal. Their words, their stated goal, ground the wording; your todo text and table rows stay out of it.
 - Your own idea is welcome: it gets its own recommended question. Attach it to its own question, so it rides there on its merits.
 - `multi: true` for pick-many, `header` for the branch chip, `preview` when the decision needs code or config in front of the user.
 Open narrative - "walk me through the deploy flow" - has no options to offer; ask it as prose in chat. Without an `ask` tool the whole round degrades to text: `❓ **Q1 — title**: body`, then `➡️ recommendation`, phrased so one bare "yes" accepts every recommendation.
 The dialog is exclusive: dispatch scouts before the `ask` call in the same message, or they wait behind it; their results land between rounds. Esc ends the run outright, with no turn to wrap up, so the ledger is what survives it.
 ## The ledger
 The tree lives in the `todo` list while the interview runs, so the user watches it fall:
 - One task per decision, filed under the phase for its branch; `via: <parent decision>` in the task text carries the edge.
 - `pending` is the frontier; `block` with a one-line reason waits on a fact or an open decision; `done` is settled. Unblock the moment the dependency settles.
 Write `local://grilling-state.md` at the end of every round: the tree, each decision's verdict and one-line rationale. It is the durable copy of the interview; keep it current so an Esc costs one round.
 ## Facts are yours, decisions are theirs
 - Environment facts (filesystem, repo, live config): dispatch a **scout** per fact-cluster, batched into one `task` call, before the round's `ask`. Cluster tightly; doing so keeps each scout more aware of possible adjacencies.
 - Outside-world facts: call `web_search` directly, do not delegate to a subagent.
 - Cheap lookups: `read`/`grep` inline.
 - The main session is where questions happen: every spawn carries the exact facts to return, and comes back into the next round.
 ## Definition of Done
 The frontier is empty and nothing sits blocked. Distil the ledger into a **brief**: one line per decision, verdict plus rationale, grouped by branch. Put it in chat, then one closing `ask`: "Proceed on this brief?" Nothing executes before that yes. After it, fold the brief into the project's knowledge base, or a log markdown file, wherever the project keeps its decisions.

 # dankvoice
 `agent/extensions/dankvoice.ts` adds cloned-voice speech to the interactive
 harness: `/say` opens the options menu, `/say <text>` speaks through the
 speakers and `/say on` narrates the assistant's final answer after every
 turn, all served by **frank-tts** (Dankclaw :7772, the `speech` model role
 in [agent/models.yml](/core/index.md)).
 ## Why it exists
 Nothing built into the harness can pronounce Frank's cloned voices.
 | Surface | Engine | Verdict |
 |---|---|---|
 | TUI speak-aloud (`speech.enabled`, `speech.voice`) | bundled Kokoro ONNX worker, `synthesizeStream(voice, speed, signal)` | Kokoro voice enum only; never consults `models.yml` or the speech role |
 | `omp say [TEXT]` | same local backend (`--model` = *local* model key) | `omp say --voice narrator1 "test"` → `error: Expected --voice to be one of: af_heart, af_bella, af_nicole, af_kore, af_sarah, am_michael, am_fenrir, am_puck, bf_emma, bm_george, bm_fable` (verified 2026-10-18) |
 | `tts` tool / `xd://tts` device (`modelRoles.speech`) | frank-tts over OpenAI `/v1/audio/speech` | cloned voices work, but only as a **file** — nothing plays them |
 `dankvoice` is not a patch to that vocalizer (harness code, not ours); it is a
 second transport that happens to speak, so Kokoro stays available for quick
 local speech and the cloned voices carry the real narration.
 ## Commands
 | Command | Effect |
 |---|---|
 | `/say` \| `/say menu` | options menu (`ctx.ui.select`): auto-speak toggle, voice, output device, player, spoken cap, test phrase |
 | `/say <text>` | synthesize once and play; interrupts whatever is playing |
 | `/say on` \| `/say off` | arm/disarm auto-speak of the assistant's final text at `agent_end`; the footer shows `🔊 <voice>` while armed |
 | `/say voice <name>` | pick a voice; an empty name defers to the server's own default |
 | `/say voices` | list what frank-tts reports |
 | `/say stop` | cut the current utterance |
 | `/say status` \| `/say help` | endpoint, voice, player, device, cap |
 Menu choices persist to `~/.omp/cache/dankvoice.json` (runtime state, never
 tracked); the environment overrides the file, the file overrides defaults.
 "Speak a test phrase" synthesizes a short line through the current voice,
 player and device — the audible proof whenever a session "has say on" but
 stays silent.
 Auto-speak is skipped in `print`/`json` mode so benches and pipelines stay
 silent. Markdown is stripped before synthesis — fenced code is dropped, links
 collapse to their label, bullets and table pipes disappear — and the utterance
 is truncated at a sentence boundary inside the cap.
 ## Endpoint resolution
 The base URL is **read from `agent/models.yml`**, from the provider block whose
 model row carries `api: openai-speech` — the same row the `speech` role
 resolves, so no host address and no credential appears in this file. From
 `baseUrl: http://192.168.0.143:7772/v1` it derives
 `POST …/v1/audio/speech`, `GET …/v1/audio/voices` and `GET …/health`.
 | Environment | Default | Meaning |
 |---|---|---|
 | `DANKVOICE_URL` | models.yml | speech base URL (`…/v1`), bypasses the YAML read |
 | `DANKVOICE_MODEL` | the id in that block (`frank-tts`) | model named in the request body |
 | `DANKVOICE_CONFIG` | `~/.omp/cache/dankvoice.json` | persisted menu choices (voice, player, sink, cap, auto) |
 | `DANKVOICE_VOICE` | empty (server default) | default voice name |
 | `DANKVOICE_AUTO=1` | off | start with auto-speak armed |
 | `DANKVOICE_MAX` | `700` | spoken characters per utterance |
 | `DANKVOICE_PLAYER` | detect | player binary, skipping detection |
 | `DANKVOICE_MODELS` | `~/.omp/agent/models.yml` | YAML to read the endpoint from |
 Player detection order is `pw-play` → `paplay` → `ffplay` (PipeWire first:
 the workstations run WirePlumber). A saved output device routes the player
 explicitly — `pw-play --target <sink>` or `paplay --device=<sink>`; ffplay
 has no device concept and ignores it — while an unset device leaves the
 player's own default. Sinks are enumerated with `wpctl list audio sinks`;
 if wireplumber is unreachable the menu offers only "system default". Each
 utterance is written to `$TMPDIR/dankvoice-*/say-<ms>.wav` and the file plus
 its directory are removed when the player process exits.
 ## Verified facts (2026-10-18)
 * **Extension discovery** — any `.ts` file in `~/.omp/agent/extensions/` loads
  at startup: a probe file there printed `loaded 2026-10-19T02:36:55Z` from a
  fresh `omp -p` run. `omp --help` documents `--no-extensions` (discovery off,
  explicit `-e/--extension` and `--hook` still load) and `plugin install|link`.
 * **Endpoint** — resolving the live `agent/models.yml` yields
  `speechUrl http://192.168.0.143:7772/v1/audio/speech`,
  `voicesUrl …/v1/audio/voices`, `healthUrl …/health`, `model frank-tts`.
 * **Roster** — `GET /v1/audio/voices` answers the bare JSON array
  `["narrator1","narrator2","narrator3"]`; `/health` answers
  `{"status":"ok","backend":"omni-http","voices":[…]}`. `GET /v1/voices` and
  `GET /v1/models` are **404** on this shim, and an unknown voice answers
  `400 unknown voice 'zzz'; available voices: …` with `available_voices` in the
  body — which is the fallback the extension uses if the roster route ever
  disappears.
 * **Omitting `voice` is legal** — frank-tts fills its `DEFAULT_VOICE` since the
  2026-10-18 voice-pack work, so an unset voice synthesizes instead of failing.
 * **Speech** — `/say "dankvoice live smoke test"` produced a 99,884 B / 2.08 s
  WAV and `/say voice narrator2` + `/say "cloned voice check"` a 69,164 B /
  1.44 s WAV (durations from `ffprobe`), each handed to the player; temp
  directories were gone afterwards.
 * **Auto-speak** — verified in a real TUI session: `/say on` armed the footer
  (`🔊 narrator1`), the next finished turn synthesized and played the answer
  (1.20 s WAV), and an unknown voice name answers with the roster instead of
  speaking. An `agent_end` carrying `willContinue` (the harness scheduled an
  auto-retry) is never narrated — only the terminal settle speaks.
 * **Menu** — verified via driver scenarios 2026-10-18 (Refs #23): the menu
  lists auto-speak/voice/device/player/cap/test-phrase; a voice chosen in the
  menu is used by later utterances and survives a fresh load via the settings
  file; a device chosen in the menu appears in the player invocation as
  `--target <sink>`.
 ## Limits
 * The TUI's own speak-aloud feature still narrates in Kokoro: its voice list is
  a compile-time enum in the harness bundle, and no setting routes it to
  frank-tts. Cloned voices live only on this file-producing/speaking path and
  on the `tts` tool. See [Handy](/tools/handy.md) for the STT half.
 * `agent_end` narrates the final message text only — mid-turn tool chatter is
  never spoken.
 * frank-tts is LAN-only: no Caddy vhost fronts :7772, so this extension is
  usable on the home network.
 * Deployment, packs and the voice registry are owned by the
  `serverAppConfigs` repo (`serverAppConfigs-docs/Dankclaw/Frank TTS.md`), not
  by this one.

 # Bundle Change Log
 ## 2026-10-18 — dankvoice: `/say` options menu with output-device routing (Refs #23)
 Added `/say menu` (bare `/say` now opens it; `help` keeps the text listing), the
 pi-peon-style settings surface: auto-speak toggle, voice picked from the frank-tts
 roster, **output device** (PipeWire sinks via `wpctl` → `pw-play --target` /
 `paplay --device=`), player binary, spoken-char cap, and a "speak a test phrase"
 utterance that proves the audio path audibly. Choices persist to
 `~/.omp/cache/dankvoice.json` (`DANKVOICE_CONFIG`); env now wins over that file,
 which wins over defaults — answering the silent-session incident where
 PipeWire's remembered Bluetooth route played synthesized answers into nowhere.
 `detectPlayer` becomes `availablePlayers` + `playerFor`. Tests gain a fixture
 `wpctl`, a scripted `select` in the driver, and three menu scenarios: 15 green
 in `tests/dankvoice.bats`, 51 green suite-wide.
 ## 2026-10-18 — dankvoice: the cloned voices finally speak in the TUI (Refs #21)
 Nothing in the harness could pronounce them: the TUI vocalizer and `omp say` gate `--voice` against the bundled Kokoro enum (`omp say --voice narrator1 "test"` → `error: Expected --voice to be one of: af_heart, …`), so frank-tts was reachable only as a file. Added `agent/extensions/dankvoice.ts` — `/say <text>`, `/say on|off` (narrate the final answer at `agent_end`), `/say voice|voices|stop|status` — synthesizing over the OpenAI speech route and playing through `pw-play`/`paplay`/`ffplay`, with the endpoint read from the `api: openai-speech` row of `agent/models.yml` (no host, no secret in the file). Verified live in a real TUI session on the workstation: roster `GET /v1/audio/voices` → `narrator1, narrator2, narrator3`; `/say` produced 99,884 B / 2.08 s and 69,164 B / 1.44 s WAVs handed to the player, temp dirs cleaned afterwards; `/say on` armed the footer (`🔊 narrator1`) and each following finished turn spoke its answer (1.20 s WAV), an unknown voice name answered with the roster instead of speaking, and an `agent_end` carrying `willContinue` (the harness scheduled an auto-retry) is deliberately never narrated. Extension discovery itself proved with a probe file in `~/.omp/agent/extensions/` loaded by a fresh `omp -p` run. Reference page [dankvoice](core/dankvoice.md), registered in the core index; black-box seam `tests/dankvoice.bats` (12 tests).
 ## 2026-10-18 — Noctalia bar layout clobbered by trunk-sync stash, recovered from dangling objects
 Frank's months of GUI-built bar customizations (cat/clock/clock-utc/weather start, taskbar center, capsule groups g1–g4, control-cheat-sheet, thickness/font-scale/opacity styling) vanished from the live bar at 16:46. Root cause: the layout existed **only in the working tree** — the repo copy of `settings.toml` carried a stale plain layout because GUI edits hadn't been committed inside the hourly heartbeat window — and a trunk-sync session clearing the dirty tree for `origin/main` stashed it; the stash entry was subsequently destroyed (three `WIP on main` stashes within 60 s, all later dropped). Recovery: `git fsck --lost-found` surfaced the destroyed stash as dangling commit `7fe3ed8` (16:46:09); candidate validated in a sandboxed `XDG_*_HOME` before restore, clobbered file preserved to `.AGENTTRASH/`, layout restored through the symlink target and proven by screenshot, committed as `c87b378` — the durable copy the layout never had. Lessons codified into managed skills: trunk-sync must preservation-**commit** every dirty deployment path (never stash, never `stash clear`), and GUI layout edits get committed the same session they're made.

 # omp Skill Store Wiring
-omp is NOT a registered agent in the `skills` CLI (79-agent registry checked in
+Three tiers, one owner each:
 `dist/cli.mjs` 2026-10-18; see [Agent Support](/tools/vercel-labs-skills/agent-support.md)),
 so `skills add` never writes to `~/.omp/agent/skills/` on its own. The wiring is
 manual, retrofitted 2026-10-18:
- **Canonical store:** `~/.agents/skills/<name>/` — real files, written by
+| Tier | Path | Owner | Content |
-  `npx skills add <owner>/<repo> --all -g` (universal agent, global scope).
+|---|---|---|---|
- **Provenance:** `~/.agents/.skill-lock.json` (store lockfile, version 3): per
+| Canonical store | `~/.agents/skills/` | `skills` CLI | upstream skills, 38 as of 2026-10-18 (all `mattpocock/skills`) |
-  skill `source` (e.g. `mattpocock/skills`, `vercel-labs/skills`), `skillPath`,
+| Provenance | `~/.agents/.skill-lock.json` | `skills` CLI | v3 lockfile: `source`, `skillPath`, `skillFolderHash` per skill |
-  `skillFolderHash`, timestamps. 39 entries as of 2026-10-18: 38 from
+| Authored | `agent/skills/` (this repo) | Frank, via PR | hand-customized overrides; today only `grilling` |
  `mattpocock/skills`, `find-skills` from `vercel-labs/skills`.
 - **omp tier:** every entry in `agent/skills/` (this repo) is a **symlink** to
  `~/.agents/skills/<name>` — 39 links. `manage_skill` writes real dirs into the
  separate tier `agent/managed-skills/`; that tier is untouched by this scheme.
-## Consequences
+## How omp loads them
- `skills update -g` refreshes every skill for omp through the links; the repo
+omp is NOT a registered agent in the `skills` CLI (79-agent registry checked
-  records only the link set (which skills are enabled), never content.
+2026-10-18; see [Agent Support](/tools/vercel-labs-skills/agent-support.md)) —
- A fresh workstation needs two steps: `npx skills add mattpocock/skills --all -g`
+`skills add` never writes anywhere under `~/.omp`. Instead omp's own `agents`
-  (+ `find-skills` from `vercel-labs/skills`), then re-create the symlinks;
+provider reads the store **directly**: `skills.enableAgentsUser` (default true)
-  `git pull` alone yields dangling links until the store exists.
+loads `~/.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md`. No per-skill symlinks in the repo — the
- `skills ls` from a repo whose layout contains `agent/skills` mislabels those
+repo does not mirror the store; it only holds authored overrides.
-  links as Eve project skills (path collision with Eve's `agent/skills` dir);
+
-  harmless attribution noise.
+Precedence (omp `omp://skills.md`): authored `agent/skills/` (native, priority
 100) beats the agents provider; identical copies collapse by realpath, differing
 same-named copies survive namespaced (`agents/<name>`) with a startup warning.
 Therefore: **when authoring an override, remove the skill from the store**
 (`npx skills remove <name> -g`) so the lockfile stays truthful and no
 namespaced twin haunts the listing. `grilling` was extracted this way 2026-10-18.
 ## Updating upstream skills
 ```bash
 npx -y skills update -g            # refreshes everything the lockfile tracks
 npx skills check                   # drift report vs GitHub tree SHAs
 ```
 Fresh workstation (omp side is two commands — store restore + authored tier
 arrives with the repo clone):
 ```bash
 npx -y skills add mattpocock/skills --all -g
 npx -y skills add vercel-labs/skills --skill find-skills --agent universal -g
 npx -y skills remove grilling -g   # authored copy ships in the repo
 ```
 ## Managed tier
 `agent/managed-skills/` (auto-learn, priority 5) is separate and untouched by
 all of the above; authored skills always win name collisions against it.

 # The extension's contract, from outside: it registers a `say` command and an
 # `agent_end` listener; what is observable is (a) the JSON it POSTs to the
 # speech route, (b) the file it hands to the player, and (c) the notifications
 # and select-lists it renders. A fixture HTTP server stands in for frank-tts
 # (it answers the speech route with a fixed WAV, the roster route with a JSON
 # array, and everything else with 404), a stub player stands in for pw-play
 # (it records its full argv and copies the .wav it was given), and a fixture
 # `wpctl` in $WORK/bin stands in for wireplumber's sink enumeration.
 #
 # Driven by env: DV_EXT (extension under test), DV_STUB / DV_STUB_LOG / DV_COPY
 # (player fixture), DV_PWPLAY (stub aliased as pw-play), DV_WPCTL (the sink
 # name the fixture wpctl reports), DV_MODELS (models.yml fixture),
 # DANKVOICE_CONFIG (settings file), DV_PLAYER_BIN (player command override),
 # DV_SELECT (pipe-separated answers fed to ctx.ui.select in order), DV_MODE

Frank	dd8f3974c1	feat(dankvoice): /say options menu with output-device routing (Refs #23 ) 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.	2026-10-19 00:31:40 -07:00

Frank	765b686859	feat(dankvoice): speak the cloned voices in the TUI (Refs #21 ) 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. cwd: /home/blank/.omp/wt/feat-21-dankvoice session: wt-20261017-181502-6d1fc1f	2026-10-18 20:00:52 -07:00

Frank	3fa0242f56	style(grilling): rewrite in the mattpocock corpus voice (Refs #20 ) 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.	2026-10-18 19:15:14 -07:00
Frank	fe039a0b73	fix(grilling): strip history and box-specific prose per review (Refs #20 ) - 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)	2026-10-18 19:09:04 -07:00

Frank	cedef97c99	feat(grilling): omp-aware interview redesign, absorb ask-etiquette law 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.	2026-10-18 18:58:23 -07:00

Frank	6664f9090a	docs(agent): rule 6 - todo list must be live, not retrospective 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.	2026-10-18 18:43:51 -07:00

Frank	fcc7226c3b	chore(skills): drop Eve-only agents/openai.yaml from authored grilling 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	2026-10-18 18:31:37 -07:00

Frank	08f90c6df3	chore(skills): move upstream skills to the CLI global store, keep authored tier 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.	2026-10-18 18:28:34 -07:00
