docs(frank-tts): the voice stack is deployed, and the harness speaks through it
Six statements still claimed the endpoint did not exist: both vault descriptions, the two index.md bullets, the Open Notebook blocker, and the engine page deploy order that opened with "Nothing below has been run". All re-keyed to the deployed state, with the ledger the deploys printed: engine healthy 31 s after the build at 4.0 GiB resident, three voices warm, the ladder measured at 1883 ms then 1226-1283 ms (not the retired 6.2-8.0 s), and two voices rendering the same sentence into different bytes. Adds a The harness speech role section to the endpoint page with the three wiring laws measured the day of the flip: speech.voice is the forwarded key (tts.localVoice belongs to Kokoro), an explicit speech role has no fallback candidate, and models.yml loads at process start while config.yml is read live - so a session older than the frank-tts row fails exactly like a dead endpoint. Fresh-process proof: omp -p --tools tts saved 180524 bytes with voice=narrator1 while the facade logged the matching speech line.

## The harness speech role
|
||||
|
||||
The operator harness reaches this endpoint through
|
||||
`~/.omp/agent/models.yml` — provider `frank-tts (dankclaw)`,
|
||||
`baseUrl: http://192.168.0.143:7772/v1`, `auth: none`, and the runner api
|
||||
`openai-speech` on the **model** row (naming a runner api at *provider* level
|
||||
fails the whole file's validation and disables every custom provider, which is
|
||||
how the fleet's chat endpoints disappear) — plus `config.yml`:
|
||||
`modelRoles.speech: frank-tts (dankclaw)/frank-tts` and `speech.voice:
|
||||
narrator1`. Three laws, read out of the harness bundle and measured the day of
|
||||
the flip:
|
||||
|
||||
- **The forwarded voice key is `speech.voice`, not `tts.localVoice`.** The
|
||||
latter belongs to the local Kokoro backend and still carries `bm_george`; it
|
||||
is what answered when the role pointed at `local/kokoro`. `speech.voice`
|
||||
becomes the request's `voice`, and this endpoint treats an unknown name as an
|
||||
error rather than a default — so a Kokoro-style revert has to move **both**
|
||||
keys together.
|
||||
- **There is no silent fallback.** An explicitly configured `modelRoles.speech`
|
||||
yields exactly one candidate, so a dead 7772 fails the speech device with
|
||||
*"No available speech model matches the speech role"* instead of quietly
|
||||
degrading to Kokoro. That is the price of `auth: none` (which makes a dead
|
||||
endpoint read as available) and it is the wanted shape: a narration job should
|
||||
fail loudly rather than ship a voice Frank never asked for.
|
||||
- **A session older than the models.yml row cannot see it.** `models.yml` loads
|
||||
at process start while `config.yml` is read live, so a long-lived session
|
||||
carrying the flipped role fails exactly like a dead endpoint while a fresh
|
||||
process succeeds in the same minute. Measured 2026-10-18: the open session
|
||||
failed twice (provider/id form, then the bare id), `local/kokoro` succeeded in
|
||||
that same session, and a fresh `omp -p --tools tts` returned `Saved 180524
|
||||
bytes (model=frank-tts (dankclaw)/frank-tts, voice=narrator1, codec=wav)`
|
||||
while the façade logged the matching `speech voice=narrator1 format=wav
|
||||
chars=51 -> 180524 bytes` from the podman bridge. Rule the stale registry out
|
||||
before blaming the service.
