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).

 That is the honest state, and it is worse than the task suggests: this is not a
 configuration gap that a compose entry closes. Until a machine with a microphone runs

 So the wake word and the VAD gate are covered by their unit tests and by
 nothing else, and no session at this box changes that. Checking them needs a
 machine with a microphone running both binaries against a TCP-listening mavend.
