workpc is the client machine the voice loop was waiting for (V-515)

Three durable stores said no client machine existed. That was written
when the workstation was only a model host. It is where he sits most of
the day and it has the microphone.

The verdict is unchanged and so is the seam. What changes is the size of
the remaining work: deploying two daemons and asking mavend to listen on
TCP, not acquiring hardware. Note that deploying them does not by itself
prove a wake word — mavwaked gates on energy and has no keyword model
(V-487).

homesrv has a microphone — it is a laptop — but it is in the wrong room, so a wake-word
daemon there listens to nobody. They belong on a client machine where the owner is standing.
`ipc.Dial` already takes `tcp://host:port?token=...` through the netaddr seam, so nothing
needs building to allow it, but no such machine exists yet. **The consequence: the wake
word and the VAD gate are covered by unit tests and by nothing else, and no amount of
sitting at the box changes that.** Push-to-talk through `/dash` is what QA actually covers.
**That machine is workpc** (owner's correction, 2026-08-05). This section used to say no
such machine existed, which was written when the workstation was only a model host. It is
where he sits most of the day and it has the microphone. `ipc.Dial` already takes
`tcp://host:port?token=...` through the netaddr seam, so the two daemons need deploying,
not building. V-515 is that deployment.
Until they are deployed, **the wake word and the VAD gate are covered by unit tests and by
nothing else**, and push-to-talk through `/dash` is what QA actually covers. Note that
deploying them does not by itself prove a wake word: `mavwaked` gates on energy and has no
keyword model (V-487), so the loop runs open until that lands.
