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).
Chrome takes a fake microphone, so the browser half of push-to-talk runs
without a person. getUserMedia, MediaRecorder, the webm decode and the
resample all pass. The button is at /, not /dash, which this step had wrong.
The on-screen transcript shows + for every space: QueryEscape decoded with
decodeURIComponent. Filed as 533.
A real sev4 reached telegram with presence away. It named no service, which
is 534: nudgeValues fills {service} from an exact key mavpoll stopped writing
when per-monitor facts landed, so every named variant is rejected as
unfillable and the one nameless variant always wins.

The desk_active poster is live on workpc, so 15 no longer blocks session 1
steps 7 and 8. What blocks them is that no rule's predicate is true: water
needs 3h since the fact step 2 just wrote, meal and break have no anchor.
Separately, SavePresenceState has no caller outside tests. The gate reads the
in-memory bucket so delivery is unaffected, but hysteresis never engages and
every presence readout shows away at score 0.00. Filed as 532.

Corrects the cause recorded an hour ago. responseGrammar ends with
ws ::= [ \t\n]*, and * is unbounded, so the model emits { and then satisfies
ws with whitespace until max_tokens stops it.
Reproduced on a second Qwen3-1.7B with the same grammar and system prompt:
repeat_penalty 1.0 runs to 512 and returns finish_reason=length, 1.3 stops at
24, and bounding the rule to {0,4} stops at 33 three times out of three with
no penalty at all.
internal/llm.Req sends repeat_penalty and the replier sets 1.3, so that path
is protected by accident. chatReq in the phraser sends none, so PhraseChat,
PhraseQuery, PhraseNudge and PhraseReminder run at the default 1.0.
Two wrong guesses recorded so nobody repeats them: not reasoning tokens, the
probe returned reasoning_content of length 0; and not --cache-ram 512, which
is MiB of prompt cache against a token count.

Session 1 step 2 no longer needs a person. POST /api/ptt takes raw PCM16
16kHz mono, so the committed STT fixtures stand in for a microphone. Three
fixtures pass end to end: 200, real speech back, right intent.
Step 9 gets a cause. A spoken turn is 32-34s, of which one phrasing call is
30.0s. Both interactive calls decoded exactly 512 tokens, the chat cap, and
were truncated. The resident model is a Thinking variant and llamaArgs never
passes the enable_thinking:false that deploy/mavgpud.json passes for the
workstation. Filed as V-531.
Steps 7 and 8 cannot run. The morning routine is the only nudge source and the
dispatcher drops it on presence=away every time, which is V-15.
287's own ten QA steps were rewritten in Vikunja: all ten were mavwaked, which
does not run on homesrv by decision (V-463).

The plan named every open QA task on 02-08-2026 and had drifted since. V-492,
the workstation offload, appeared nowhere in it, and neither did the word
offload. It is now a sitting in session 3 with the three card states, the two
things most likely to be wrong, and the one number the week is supposed to
produce. Note that workpc is training today, so the held state is available and
the free state is not.
Fourteen ids the plan named closed on 04-08-2026. Only 282 was actually written
into the text; it is gone, replaced by what remains, which is the desk_active
units on workpc rather than the script.
The header count is refreshed to 95 open and 35 QA, and now says to distrust
itself, because that is the line that goes stale first.

They appear in no compose file and run as no host process, and the task
asked whether that is a gap to close or a decision to write down. It is a
decision.
The reason is not hardware. homesrv is a Lenovo laptop and
/proc/asound/cards lists its ACP mic array with capture devices, so
passing /dev/snd into a container would work. It would also listen to an
empty room. A wake-word daemon is worth having where he is standing, and
that is not where the server is.
mavenclient is a client by name and design, mavwaked is the gate in
front of it, and the wire already reaches off-box: ipc.Dial takes
tcp://host:port?token=... through the netaddr seam, with the token
checked before internal/ipc sees the connection. So this needs a machine
and a config line, not protocol work.
The honest consequence is worse than the task suggested, and both docs
now say it: the wake word and the VAD gate are covered by unit tests and
by nothing else. QA session 1 step 2 was reworded to claim only what it
checks, which is push-to-talk through /dash. CLAUDE.md listed all nine
binaries with no column for where they run, which is how this went
unnoticed.

Found running QA 253 on 02-08. Every one of the four failed the same
way: the daemon is right and the step is stale.
253/3 expected mavend to boot with the capture methods unknown when
there is no media block. Validate refuses to start instead
(config.go:1651), which is the better behaviour — a capture config with
nowhere to put the audio is a mistake he should hear at boot.
253/10 expected no :transcript note by default. writeNotes writes one
whenever the summary is empty, ignoring save_transcript, so a dead
llama-server does not lose the meeting. The step was therefore false in
exactly the degradation scenario 253/16 creates. It now says "with a
summary present".
255/5 expected "speaker: enrolment on, recognition BLOCKED". That line
no longer ships. Recognizes() was written as the gate, documented as
one, and never called; calling it turned enabled-with-no-model from a
half-working capability into a refusal, and the three methods are now
absent. docs/plans/10-speaker-recognition.md described the old wiring
and is corrected here too.
252/3 quoted "vision: stored image <id-prefix>". vision.go:199 emits
"vision: stored <id>".
The steps themselves live in the Vikunja tasks and were rewritten there.
docs/qa.md records what changed and why, so the next reader does not
re-derive it from a diff.
The gap that made the steps unrunnable is V-514, not this: no shipped
client can start a recording, so 253 steps 7 to 16 stay blocked.

Every write-path fix leaves the rows already stored wrong, and a box in that
state looks fine: recall answers with the wrong text and nothing logs an error.
That is how the original poison survived four restarts.
RepairFactVectors resolves each fact vector against the fact it names,
re-embeds the ones whose text is stale, and deletes the voided, superseded and
orphaned ones. Marker-guarded and idempotent, so it runs once per box and a run
that dies partway is simply redone.

morning_routines, feeds, crawl.on_demand and netscan.enabled in
deploy/mavend.json; -ambient-token on mavweb, interpolated from a gitignored
/.env. All verified on the box: the dispatcher builds the morning plan,
/api/ambient answers 401/201, the crawler reads a named page, netscan finds 3
devices, and /events fills with scan:lan and ambient:notif.
Filed 482 (ambient reads a notification's wall clock as UTC). Corrected 479:
both capabilities work once configured, so it is not a routing defect.

Ran sessions 1 and 2 on the live box.
Session 1 steps 1 and 3-6 pass. Steps 2 and 7-9 need a person at the box.
POST /api/chat is drivable with form encoding and a cookie jar, so the text
half needs no browser.
Session 2 confirms the deploy matches the bench at 72.7% full accuracy, and
contradicts two recorded numbers. The classifier scores 68.8% at p50 16.6us,
not 36.8% at 31ms. Router latency measured under contention again.
Also: 319 item 2 point 2 closes on the recall margin sweep, CheckFeminine has
a false positive on second-person masculine verbs, and the wake path cannot be
checked because mavwaked and mavenclient are deployed nowhere.
The plan named 40 task numbers on 2026-08-01. Ten open QA tasks were missing
and two of the named ones had closed, so the 44-of-50 header was wrong twice
over.
- header is 42 of 50, and every open task now appears
- placed the ten unlisted QA tasks: 14, 248, 249, 250, 258, 283, 284, 285,
286, 323
- new Operations sitting for 249 and 250, and a Query sources sitting for
258 and 286
- 14 and 284 join housekeeping: both are gated on something unbuilt
- dropped the 317 and 354 rows, closed 01-08-2026, with one line saying what
landed
- 319's gate recalibration is done; what is left is re-deriving QueryMinMargin
- 323 is down to the 60s startup timeout arm after PR #90
- new "Not this repo" section for 358 (Hexis) and 362 (training workspace)
- router latency is ~27x, not 90x; the 2.7s p50 was contention, not the model

Seventeen markdown files at the repo root, twelve of them dated one-shot
reports sitting next to CLAUDE.md. That is why stale docs read as
current: nothing in the path said which was which.
Root now keeps CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md. Living docs move under docs/
and carry a Last verified line. Dated measurements move to docs/evals/
ISO-prefixed, and are never edited after the day, so a newer number is
a new file. The senior review moves to docs/archive/.
Every reference was rewritten across markdown, Go comments, the Makefile
and the recall fixture. The touched Go packages still build.
