 What separates Maven today from the thing the spec describes. Dealbreakers
 first — these define the category:
 
-1. **No always-on listening.** Voice is push-to-talk in a web page: open the
-   PWA, hold, speak, release. No wake word, no ambient mic, no room hardware.
-   Today it's a dictaphone with a brain, not something you talk to across the
-   kitchen. Highest-leverage gap — a wake word + speaker device changes what
-   Maven *is*, not just how good it is. (Listening modes 2–3 in maven.md.)
+1. **Always-on listening is code-complete (MVP).** `cmd/mavwaked` captures
+   PCM from arecord → energy-based VAD → PushToTalk with `Surface=SurfaceVoice`
+   (L0). Gap narrowed: no wake word yet (pure voice-activity trigger; every
+   utterance fires). The 30ms frame shape and 16kHz PCM match silero-vad's
+   ONNX input exactly, so a wake-word model swap is a local change in vad.go.
+   Hardware: needs a mic on the always-on box (USB mic on homesrv or the desk
+   PC). Builds and tests; deploy action pending (docker-compose service + audio
+   device passthrough).
 2. **Conversation is thin, not absent.** The router still classifies one
    utterance → one reply and there's no anaphora resolution or LLM-driven
    dialogue. But `internal/dialogue` is now **wired** (jul6 task 6 + follow-up):
