Stop mavwaked from hearing itself, and add barge-in (#287)

Playback was `go playAudio(reply)` — fire and forget, nobody holding the
process handle. Two audible consequences fell out of that.

She answered herself. The capture loop kept feeding the VAD while the
speaker was running, so her own reply came back in through the mic,
tripped the VAD, and was shipped to the daemon as a fresh command. There
is no acoustic echo canceller in this pipeline, so the fix is
half-duplex: while she is speaking, the capture side is muted. That part
is unconditional — it repairs a defect, it is not a new capability.

And talking over her did nothing, because there was no handle to cancel.
-barge-in now cuts playback when sustained energy clears a room-tuned
threshold (-barge-in-rms, default 0.12 normalised, over -barge-in-frames
consecutive frames, default 5). It is off by default: without an echo
canceller the only way to tell "he is talking over her" from "the mic is
hearing her" is that he is much louder, and how much louder depends on
where the mic sits.

The frame decision moved out of main.go into session.feed, behind a
player and an utteranceSender interface, so all of it is testable with
no mic, no speaker and no daemon. Nine tests cover the self-hearing
case, the off-by-default case, the consecutive-frame requirement,
speaker-leak-level audio not triggering, capturing the interrupting
utterance after a cut, and failed round-trips not starting playback.

The other seven items on #287 (partial STT, per-segment retry, mic
profiles, noise-floor calibration, short-response-while-speaking) are
untouched and stay on the task.

+
+`address` is the headline. It sat at 18-22 of 27 on the 0.8B no matter how the prompt
+was worded — the prompt explicitly forbids "вы" and the model writes `вашей`,
+`подождите`, `делаете` anyway. That was read as "prompting is out of levers", and it
+was really "0.8B is out of capacity". The 1.7B mostly holds the constraint.
+
+The fallback column matters too: 5-8 of 27 turns on the 0.8B end in a hardcoded
+`"не знаю."`, meaning it failed to emit parseable JSON about a quarter of the time.
+The 1.7B does that 0-2 times.

+## Latency — the long tail is not the Thinking block

+| | p50 | p95 |

+p50 is flat across a 2× size difference. The first instinct on seeing the 1.7B's
+16s p95 was "that is the reasoning trace, cap it" — wrong. The 0.8B's p95 is a
+consistent 17s and the 1.7B beat it in two of three runs. The tail is shared and
+lives somewhere else. Do not spend time on `/no_think` on this evidence.
+
+## Sub-500M: not close, and the benchmarks say otherwise for a reason
+
+LFM2.5-350M publishes IFEval 76.96 against Qwen3.5-0.8B's 59.94, and BFCLv3 44.11
+against 35.08 — better at instruction-following and structured output, at 2/3 the
+size. Those numbers are real and they are **English**. Every benchmark in that
+table except Multi-IF is English-only.
+
+In Russian, with a 300-token budget and temperature 0:
+
+- **350M**, «Столица Франции? Ответь кратко.» → *«Сторзит в Париже.»* — `Сторзит` is
+  not a word; it is invented morphology.
+- **350M**, asked to read back a reminder → a fortune cookie about being attentive
+  and confident. No reminder in it.
+- **230M**, «Привет, как дела?» → answered **in Spanish**.
+
+The 230M beating the 350M six-fold on routing (33.8% vs 5.2%) is the other tell:
+when the larger sibling collapses like that it is format compliance failing, not
+reasoning.
+
+This is a pretraining gap, not a fine-tuning gap. Teaching Russian to a 350M from
+near-zero is not an afternoon on a Colab, which was the premise worth checking.
+
+## Why this vindicates the 1.7B CPT
+
+Stock Qwen3-1.7B, untrained and unprompted, answers all three probes in fluent
+correct Russian. What it gets wrong is the persona: *«Привет! Я рад, что ты здесь»*
+— `рад` is masculine and Maven needs `рада`. That is the right kind of remaining
+problem, and it is exactly what the CPT (Vikunja #122) is for.
+
+The 1.7B was the correct model choice. What was wrong was treating it as a
+**blocker**: stock already beats what was deployed, so it ships now and gets
+swapped again when the CPT lands.
+
+## Caveats
+
+- Routing is one run per model, not three. The gaps between families are far larger
+  than the run-to-run spread seen on the talk fixture, but the 2B-vs-1.7B gap (62.3
+  vs 67.5) is not safe to call on one run.
+- ~~The routing numbers only reach production once the LLM router is wired on. It is
+  still `nil`.~~ **Resolved the same evening:** the LLM router is wired at `voice.go:214`
+  behind `voice.llm_router`, the default is on, and `deploy/mavend.json` sets it `true`.
+  These numbers are the production path now, so the p50 ≈2.7s is a real per-turn cost and
+  not a bench artifact.
+- ~~`/mnt/hdd1/llms/LFM2.5/Qwen3-1.7B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf` is a 293 MB truncated download
+  in the wrong directory.~~ **Deleted 2026-07-31.** The good 1.13 GB copy in `qwen3/` is
+  what `deploy/mavend.json` loads.
+- Harness: `scratchpad/bakeoff.sh`, one server at a time, health-checked before each
+  run, `/v1/models` recorded per run. Never run two LLM consumers at once — see the
+  contamination note in `TALK-EVAL-31-07-2026.md`.

+# Conversational phrasing eval — 31-07-2026
+
+Every score measured tonight, on the three paths the nudge eval never touched:
+chat, query-with-notes, and general knowledge.
+
+**Short version: the plumbing got fixed and the score barely moved.** Grammar and
+Russian prompts together took the composite from ~9 to ~14 of 27. Everything
+still failing is the model not knowing things or not holding a constraint, and
+prompting is out of levers. Settles the measurement half of Vikunja #395 / #398 /

+
+Three runs per configuration, always. The fixture is 27 cases, so one reply
+changing moves the composite by 3.7 points — a single run cannot tell a real

+
+`nonempty` reading 27/27 everywhere is not good news — it was a broken check.
+It tested for a non-blank string, so replies of literally `{` and `"15-16"`
+passed it. Fixed on `overnight/fix-truncation`; it needs a letter now.
+
+## What each change actually bought
+
+**GBNF grammar (#398) — the biggest single win.** Qwen3.5-0.8B writes
+`Thinking Process:` as plain text with no tags, `stripThink` only handles
+`</think>`, so the JSON never closed and the plain-text fallback shipped the
+literal reasoning. `ellipsis` went 20→27 and `lang` 13→26. The router had been
+using a grammar for ages; the phraser asking nicely in the prompt was the
+oversight.
+
+**Russian prompts (#400) — modest, plus a large latency win.** Chat 1.3→3.0
+average, query 4.7→6.3, knowledge 6.3→5.0. All inside the run-to-run spread, so
+"probably better on the paths it targeted, not provable in three runs". p50
+latency dropped from ~11.5s to ~2.3s and that part is consistent across all
+three runs — shorter prompts, and she stopped emitting English reasoning first.
+
+**Truncation fix — necessary, and did not help the score.** Two real bugs
+(replies of `{`, and a `nonempty` check that passed them), both fixed, and the
+composite went nowhere. A complete rambling wrong answer fails the same checks a
+truncated one did. Worth doing anyway: the daemon was shipping `{` to a
+text-to-speech voice.
+
+## The truncation bug, since the cause was counter-intuitive
+
+The grammar's `string ::= ... {0,400}` rule was the cause, not the token cap.
+Measured against Qwen3.5-0.8B at three caps — 256, 768 and 2048 — the reply came
+back **exactly 400 characters every time, cut mid-word** (`"Нужно записать и,"`).
+
+Then I raised the bound to 1000 while the cap was 768 tokens and made it worse:
+Russian runs ~1.5 characters per token here, so generation died on the *token*
+cap instead, mid-object, and the new guard correctly refused it and shipped
+`"не знаю."` — 3, 3 and 6 fallbacks per run, from zero. **The two limits have to
+agree.** 600 characters needs ~400 tokens; the cap is 1024.
+
+## Where the remaining failures live
+
+`address` is stuck at 21-22 of 27 and `ontopic` at 14-19. Both resist prompting.
+
+**The prompt now explicitly forbids exactly what she does.** It says never "вы",
+use the singular — and she writes `вашей`, `подождите`, `делаете`, `хотите`,
+`напишите`. Telling a 0.8B "never do X" does not work. Same for
+`feminine`: `я готов`, `я понял`, `я нашел`, `я заметил`, `я сказал`.
+
+**Some of `ontopic` is the fixture, not the model.** `chat-how-are-you` got
+`"Привет! Я здесь, чтобы поговорить. Как дела сегодня?"` — a fine reply that
+fails because `want_any` is `[норм, хорош, порядк, тут, работ]`. It fails in
+every run, so it inflates the count. The `ontopic` column currently measures the
+fixture as much as the model. Not fixed yet, deliberately: changing it would
+break comparability with the runs above.
+
+**Two replies worth reading, because they are not fixable by prompting:**
+
+- Thunder and lightning: *"Скорость молнии — 8-10 тысяч километров в секунду, но
+  звук — 300 метров в секунду, что делает молнию громче."* Confidently wrong,
+  and it concludes lightning is *louder* rather than sound being *slower*.
+- "расскажи обо мне": *"Ты — прекрасное существо, с душой и вниманием… Спасибо за
+  твою улыбку… О тебе — заповедь любви."* Sycophantic filler, zero information,
+  and precisely the "not a relationship" non-goal.
+- Boiling an egg: `"15-16"` one run, `"1"` another. No unit, wrong number.
+
+The first argues for reading instead of recalling (#403 — Kiwix retrieval scores
+8/8 on the same questions given English keywords). The second and third argue
+for templates on the paths where correctness matters (#392).
+
+## Contamination note — how the last row got voided
+
+I started the query-rewrite agent against the same llama-server the sweep was
+using, and assumed contention would only affect latency. It did not. The
+knowledge path collapsed to 0 of 9 with eight canned `"не знаю."` replies, p95
+tripled to 23.7s, and **the report still said "0 errors"**.
+
+That is Vikunja #397, and it is worse than filed: a merely *busy* server
+produces a clean-looking report with a third of the fixture silently answering
+`"не знаю."`. `PhraseChat` and `PhraseQuery` swallow every failure and return a
+hardcoded string, so infrastructure trouble is indistinguishable from bad
+phrasing in the score. The talk test guards the *start* and *end* of a run with
+a model check, which catches a dead server but not a loaded one.
+
+**Until #397 is fixed, treat any run made on a busy box as void.**
+
+## Next
+
+- Re-run 600ch/1024tok clean, to fill the void row.
+- Score `Qwen3.5-2B-UD-Q4_K_XL` (already at `/mnt/hdd1/llms/qwen3.5/`, never
+  measured) on this fixture and the router fixture. Not the 4B — too big for
+  this box, owner's call.
+- Newer sub-500M candidates (LFM2.5 200M/300M) are worth a run for routing.
+  Note `MODEL-BAKEOFF-31-07-2026.md` found LFM2.5-**1.2B** worse than
+  Qwen3.5-0.8B at Russian routing and 2.4× slower — but those are a different,
+  older generation, so that result does not predict the small ones.
+- Fix `chat-how-are-you`'s `want_any`, and re-baseline once, so `ontopic`
+  measures the model.
+- #397 first if anything, since it decides whether any of the above is
+  trustworthy.

+//     the local ZIMs. A local read costs nothing and leaks nothing; a fetch puts
+//     a URL in someone's log, so it goes last.
+//   - SCHEDULED — a watched page is re-read on its interval, and a page whose
+//     text changed is written as a note. It does NOT announce itself. Same rule
+//     as the feed poller: notes, never nudges.

+// mavmaild — the mail reader module (Vikunja #246,
+// docs/plans/01-email-reader.md).
+//
+// Every so often it opens one IMAP mailbox read-only, fetches the messages it
+// has not read yet, and hands each one to core over ipc.MethodIngestMail. Core
+// runs the extraction on the resident model and writes what comes back as task
+// CANDIDATES he reviews on /tasks. Nothing here writes to the store, nothing
+// here can create a reminder, and nothing here speaks.
+//
+// Why a separate daemon rather than a loop inside mavend, when extraction has
+// to happen in mavend anyway: the credential. mavpoll set the precedent with the
+// zenmoney token (#125) — the module that talks to a third party holds the
+// secret, reads it from a FILE so it never appears in `ps`, in
+// docker-compose.yml or in shell history, and core never sees it. Core learns
+// that mail exists only as message text on one IPC method; it cannot connect to
+// the mailbox even if it wanted to, and a compromised core yields no mail
+// password.
+//
+// Off unless configured: without -password-file there is nothing to run, and
+// the daemon says so and exits. If core has no `email` block the very first
+// ingest comes back ErrUnknownMethod and this daemon stops polling instead of
+// hammering a socket that will keep refusing.
+//
+// Mail is personal, so the log is counts and UIDs: how many messages were
+// fetched, how many were bulk, how many candidates came back. No subject, no
+// sender, no body, ever — reviewing a candidate is what /tasks is for.

+## Reading the outside world (off by default)
+
+`mavend.json` ships without a `feeds` block, which means no RSS/Atom feed is
+fetched and no outbound request is made. Switching it on is adding the block:
+
+```json
+"feeds": {
+  "poll_interval": "30m",
+  "max_items": 5,
+  "max_age": "24h",
+  "sources": [
+    { "name": "habr", "url": "https://habr.com/ru/rss/best/daily/",
+      "category": "технологии", "exclude": ["реклама"] }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+What it does and does not do:
+
+- items are written as notes with source `rss:<name>`, visible on `/dash`;
+- **nothing is announced.** She reads them back when asked — "что нового в
+  лентах?", "что нового по технологиям?" — and never on arrival. There is no
+  severity or channel knob here on purpose;
+- the fetcher is allowlisted to the hosts of the configured feeds, plus any
+  `allow_hosts`. It refuses non-http(s) schemes and every private address
+  (loopback, the LAN, the `10.42.0.0/24` wg range, cloud metadata). It caps the
+  response at 2 MiB and redirects at 3, and makes at most one request per host
+  per second. See `internal/webfetch`;
+- how far each feed was read is stored as a config fact `rss:latest:<name>`, so
+  a restart does not re-note yesterday's headlines.
+
+### Reading a page (`crawl`, also off by default)
+
+There is no `crawl` block either, so no page is fetched. Two halves, separately
+switched:
+
+```json
+"crawl": {
+  "on_demand": true,
+  "interval": "6h",
+  "max_runes": 4000,
+  "watches": [
+    { "name": "changelog", "url": "https://example.org/changelog", "interval": "12h" }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+- `on_demand` lets her read a page he names in the utterance: "посмотри
+  https://example.org/x — что там?". The page becomes context for his question,
+  and only the URL leaves the box. Without a URL nothing is fetched, so this is
+  a fallback and not a habit;
+- `watches` re-reads a fixed list on its interval and writes a note when the
+  text changed. Like the feeds, it announces nothing;
+- the answer path sits **last** in the query chain, behind his memory, his notes
+  and (once wired) the local Kiwix ZIMs. A local read costs nothing;
+- `robots.txt` is fetched first and obeyed with no override; a `Disallow` is a
+  refusal she says out loud. `Crawl-delay` is honoured;
+- same guarded fetcher as the feeds: allowlist/denylist, no private addresses,
+  size cap, redirect cap, timeout, one request per host per second;
+- dedup state is the config fact `crawl:hash:<name>`.

+## Updating her (`mavupdate`, Vikunja #249)
+
+Off unless configured, and there is deliberately no button for it. There is no
+IPC method, no web route, no timer and no act that starts an update — the trigger
+is a human running `mavupdate` on the host, which needs shell access, a strictly
+higher bar than the step-up passkey gate that guards `/tools`. She cannot update
+herself; she can be updated. Nothing here ever fetches code: the new version is
+whatever you pulled into the working tree yourself.
+
+Add an `update` block to `mavend.json` (mavend ignores it — only the CLI reads
+it), with paths as they exist **on the host**, not inside a container:
+
+```json
+"update": {
+  "source_dir": "/home/kami/apps/Maven",
+  "install_dir": "/home/kami/apps/Maven",
+  "snapshot_dir": "/var/lib/maven-snapshots",
+  "binaries": ["mavend", "mavweb", "mavsttd", "mavttsd", "mavwaked",

+  "health_socket": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/maven_sockets/_data/mavend.sock",
+  "health_timeout_sec": 120
+}
+```
+
+`snapshot_dir` must be outside `install_dir` (a restore must not read from what
+the install writes) and `health_socket` is required: an update that cannot check
+its own result cannot roll itself back, so the config is refused without one.
+
+Then:
+
+```sh
+mavupdate -config deploy/mavend.json verify        # make build + make test, deploys nothing
+mavupdate -config deploy/mavend.json apply -yes    # snapshot, verify, install, restart, health-check
+mavupdate -config deploy/mavend.json list          # what you can roll back to
+mavupdate -config deploy/mavend.json rollback -yes # restore the previous artifacts and restart
+```
+
+`apply` refuses to start if she is not already answering — otherwise a failed
+update and a box that was already broken are indistinguishable afterwards. On any
+failure after the install it restores the snapshot, restarts, and checks again;
+if that also fails it says so loudly and names the directory to copy back by hand.
+The database is never snapshotted or rolled back (see the package comment in
+`internal/update`); schema compatibility is `store.Migrate`'s job.

 8. Test with synthetic store state — verify observations match expected patterns
+
+---
+
+## Status 2026-08-01 — foundation shipped (Vikunja #248)
+
+**Shipped:** `internal/memeval` (not `internal/memory/eval.go` — `internal/store`
+imports `internal/memory` for the vector backend, so an evaluator that reads
+`store.Fact` there would close an import cycle). `Evaluator.Evaluate` reads
+`RecentFacts` / `RecentNotes` / `RecentNudges`, prompts the resident model under
+a GBNF grammar for at most three `{observation, confidence, suggested_action}`
+objects, drops anything under `min_confidence`, deduplicates against what earlier
+evaluations wrote, and records the rest as notes with source `infer:memory-eval`.
+Driver: `cmd/mavend/memoryeval.go`, its own goroutine on its own ticker. Config:
+the `memory_eval` block — **absent ⇒ the loop does not run**. Visibility: `/dash`
+already renders notes with their source, so evaluation output is visible with no
+UI change.
+
+**Deliberately not shipped — this is policy, not an unfinished edge:**
+
+- *Dispatching observations as care nudges (plan step 4).* An hourly LLM loop
+  with permission to speak is a machine for generating interruptions, and the
+  content is model-generated text about his own life. The evaluator has no
+  dispatcher reference at all, so it cannot reach a channel by accident. Wiring
+  it to `delivery.Dispatcher` is a separate decision with its own opt-in.
+- *Acting on `suggested_action`.* It is recorded inside the note text and
+  interpreted by nobody. No reminder, routine or fact is created.
+- *Writing observation embeddings.* Notes are written with a nil embedding, so
+  they stay out of the RAG recall pool. Feeding generated text back into the pool
+  it came from is how a small model starts citing its own guesses as evidence.
+
+**Deferred, wants a decision or another capability:**
+
+- *Plan step 6, the `/eval` IPC method and an evaluation-history view.* `/dash`
+  covers reading the output; a dedicated trace surface is worth building once
+  there is real output to look at, and it should probably show the prompt too.
+- *`RecentEvents`.* The plan lists it; the evaluator reads facts, notes and
+  nudges. Detected action/object events already drive pattern proposals (#43), and
+  duplicating them here would mostly re-derive that.
+- *Output quality is unmeasured.* There is no fixture for "did she notice
+  something true". The tests cover the machinery — empty store, confidence floor,
+  dedupe, own-notes exclusion, error handling — not the observations. Until
+  someone reads a week of real output on `/dash`, treat the wording and the
+  `min_confidence` default as unvalidated.

 # Plan: Vision — Image Understanding Capability
 
-**Goal:** Maven can "see" — accept images (from mavweb upload, Telegram, or filesystem paths), run vision inference via a local or remote multimodal model, and answer questions about the image content or extract structured information.
+**Goal:** Maven can "see" — accept images (from mavweb upload, Telegram, or filesystem paths), store them, run inference via a **local** multimodal model, and answer questions about the image content or extract text from it.
 
-**Done when:**
-- Vision model backend is configurable: local multimodal LLM (e.g., LLaVA, Qwen-VL via `llama-server` mmproj) or remote API
-- `internal/vision/` package handles image preprocessing, model inference, result parsing
-- Voice/text commands like "что на картинке?" or "прочитай текст с экрана" route to the vision handler
-- Extracted information can be written as facts/notes through `ipc.CoreAPI`
-- Telegram image messages are processed through the same pipeline
+**Status (2026-08-01):** intake, storage, config seam and the provider are shipped. The
+describing half is **BLOCKED on a model download** — see "What is blocked" below.
 
-**Scope:**
-- New `internal/vision/` package — image loader (Go stdlib `image` + `golang.org/x/image`), inference client
-- New config block: `voice.vision` in `config.Config` — `{enabled, provider, model_path, mmproj_path, remote_url}`
-- Router intent extension: new `IntentVision` or reuse `IntentQuery` with a vision flag
-- Reuses `internal/llm.Client` for API-compatible backends (OpenAI-compatible vision API)
-- Reuses `internal/ipc.CoreAPI` for writing extracted data
+## What shipped
 
-**Steps:**
-1. Create `internal/vision/provider.go` — `Provider` interface with `Describe(image []byte, prompt string) (string, error)` and `ExtractText(image []byte) (string, error)`
-2. Implement `LocalProvider` — spawns `llama-server` with mmproj, sends multimodal chat completion requests
-3. Implement `RemoteProvider` — calls an OpenAI-compatible vision API endpoint, reuses `internal/llm.Client`
-4. Create `internal/vision/processor.go` — image preprocessing (resize, format conversion to JPEG/PNG, base64 encoding)
-5. Wire vision into `cmd/mavend/voice.go:reactiveHandler` — detect vision intent from router (new `IntentVision` or a `Slots.HasImage` flag)
-6. Add IPC method `MethodDescribeImage` for programmatic access (mavweb upload, telegram bot)
-7. Add vision config block to `config.Config` and wire in `cmd/mavend/main.go`
-8. Test with a local multimodal model: send an image via mavweb, verify description and text extraction
+| Piece | Where |
+|---|---|
+| Blob store (content-addressed, retention-pruned) | `internal/media/store.go` |
+| Image decode / flatten / downscale / JPEG | `internal/media/image.go` |
+| `Provider` seam + `Disabled` floor + `LocalProvider` | `internal/vision/vision.go` |
+| Store-then-describe orchestration, re-runnable | `internal/vision/intake.go` |
+| Config blocks `media` and `vision` | `internal/config/config.go` |
+| IPC method `describe_image` (`AuthRead`) | `internal/ipc/{wire,api,client,server}.go`, `internal/auth/policy.go` |
+| Daemon wiring + hourly retention prune | `cmd/mavend/vision.go` |
+
+`internal/media` is deliberately shared: hearing (#253) and speaker recognition (#255) have
+the same intake problem — a blob arrives, gets stored, gets described — and they store their
+audio in the same place under the same retention.
+
+## Design decisions worth knowing
+
+**Store before describe.** `Intake.Accept` writes the blob to disk *first*, then asks the
+model. If the model is missing or broken — which is this box's actual state — the answer is
+"it's kept, I can't read it yet" with a content-addressed id, and `Intake.Rerun(id, question)`
+describes it later. Nothing is lost to a missing model.
+
+**No `RemoteProvider`.** The original step 3 called for "an OpenAI-compatible vision API
+endpoint". Refused. The surviving hard constraint in CLAUDE.md after "never phones home" was
+deprecated is *no cloud model, inference stays on the box*, and a photo of his flat is the
+worst possible exception. `vision.NewLocal` therefore validates the endpoint at construction:
+loopback, a private IP, or `localhost`. A hostname is refused too — it could resolve anywhere,
+and resolving it would mean trusting DNS with his pictures.
+
+**Blobs are not in the database.** The sqlite store is small, encrypted and read every tick;
+a 40 MB blob has no business there. What lands in the database is the *text* the blob produced,
+as an ordinary note (`source: media:image:<id-prefix>`), and only when the caller asks for it
+(`save_note`). Glancing at a screenshot is not the same act as remembering it.
+
+**Images are never search input and never embedded.** Only the derived description
+participates in recall, and only after he can see it as a note.
+
+**Retention is enforced by a loop, not by a promise.** `media.retention` defaults to 7 days
+and `cmd/mavend` prunes hourly, starting at boot. A store that grows forever would be the real
+failure mode of this capability.
+
+**No webp.** The stdlib has no webp decoder and this repo takes no new dependencies (the box
+is offline). `media.SniffImage` recognises webp well enough to refuse it *by name*, so the log
+says "webp is not supported" instead of "not an image". Telegram sends webp for stickers; that
+is a known gap, not a mystery.
+
+**Text extraction is not a second method.** "прочитай текст с картинки" is a prompt. A VLM has
+no separate OCR mode to select, and a second interface method would only duplicate the first.
+
+## What is blocked, and on what
+
+There is **no vision-capable gguf and no mmproj file on this box**. Checked 2026-08-01:
+
+```
+/mnt/hdd1/llms/{Bonsai,LFM2.5,llama3.2,ministral,nemotron3-nano,qwen3,qwen3.5}
+```
+
+— sixteen ggufs, all text-only, no `*mmproj*` anywhere. The resident Qwen3-1.7B is text-only
+by construction, so vision needs a *second* model. The ≤1.7B ceiling in CLAUDE.md is about the
+resident router/phraser, not about a second model loaded on demand — but iGPU VRAM still is,
+so keep it small.
+
+To unblock, download one pair to `/mnt/hdd1/llms/vision/` (bind-mounted to
+`/opt/maven/models/llm`), a gguf **and** its mmproj:
+
+- `Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct` (Q4_K_M + `mmproj-F16.gguf`) — the safe default; reads Russian, and
+  its OCR is the best of this size class.
+- `SmolVLM2-2.2B-Instruct` — smaller and faster, weaker at Cyrillic text in images.
+- `moondream2` — smallest, English-only in practice. Do not bother, per the sub-500M lesson.
+
+Then run a second llama-server on 8081 with `--mmproj`, point `vision.endpoint` at it, and
+walk the QA steps on Vikunja #252.
+
+## Config
+
+```json
+"media": { "dir": "media", "retention": "168h", "max_bytes": 67108864 },
+"vision": {
+  "enabled": true,
+  "endpoint": "http://127.0.0.1:8081",

+  "max_dim": 896,
+  "max_tokens": 300,
+  "timeout": "90s"
+}
+```
+
+Both absent by default. No `media` block ⇒ `describe_image` does not exist at all; a `media`
+block with no `vision` block ⇒ images are stored and honestly not described.
+
+## Still open
+
+- **Router intent.** "что на картинке?" does not route anywhere yet. Adding an intent is
+  premature while nothing can answer it; the IPC method is the surface a Telegram photo or a
+  mavweb upload calls today.
+- **Telegram photo path** in `mavpoll` (download the file, call `DescribeImage`).
+- **mavweb upload page** and a `/media` listing so stored blobs are visible and deletable from
+  the authed surface.

-# Plan: Hearing — Audio Stream Monitoring & Meeting Summarization
+# Plan: Hearing — Meeting Capture & Summarisation
 
-**Goal:** Maven can "hear" ambient audio from workpc — microphone input during meetings, system audio — and on demand (or on trigger) produce transcripts, summaries, or extract action items. A typical use case: "Maven, запиши встречу" starts capture, "хватит" stops it, and Maven writes a summary note.
+**Goal:** "Maven, запиши встречу" starts a recording, "хватит" stops it, and she writes a
+summary note. The audio stays on the box, is pruned by retention, and nothing is recorded that
+nobody asked for.
 
-**Done when:**
-- `internal/audio/capture.go` — remote microphone capture client (receives PCM stream from workpc over WebSocket or the existing voice TCP protocol)
-- `internal/stt/` — streaming transcription (uses existing `stt.Transcriber` interface, extended with streaming support)
-- Meeting capture triggered by voice command (IntentCapture) or configurable keyword ("maven record")
-- Raw audio is either streamed to STT in real-time or saved to a WAV file and transcribed after capture ends
-- Transcription + LLM summary is written as a note (`source:capture:meeting`) through `ipc.CoreAPI`
-- New `mavheary` module (`cmd/mavheard/`) — the workpc-side agent that captures mic/speaker audio and streams it to mavend
+**Status (2026-08-01):** the recorder, the storage, the chunked transcription, the map-reduce
+summariser, the config seam and the four IPC methods are shipped and tested. What is not
+shipped is the workpc-side microphone agent and the router intent — see "Still open".
 
-**Scope:**
-- New `cmd/mavheard/` — workpc-side agent: captures microphone (PortAudio or ALSA `arecord`), streams over WebSocket to mavend
-- `internal/audio/` extended with capture types: `MicCapture`, `SystemCapture`, `FileCapture`
-- `internal/stt/stt.go` extended with `StreamingTranscriber` interface (or reuse existing with chunked input)
-- Router: new `IntentCapture` intent for start/stop commands
-- Reuses `internal/llm.Client` for summarization
-- Reuses `internal/voice/server.go` TCP protocol for streaming audio
+## What shipped
 
-**Steps:**
-1. Create `cmd/mavheard/main.go` — workpc-side daemon: captures microphone via `arecord` pipe or PortAudio, opens WebSocket or TCP connection to mavend, streams PCM frames
-2. Create `internal/audio/capture.go` — `Capture` interface: `Start()`, `Stop()`, `AudioCh <-chan Audio`; implement `MicCapture` (reads from `mavheard` stream) and `FileCapture` (reads WAV)
-3. Extend `internal/stt/stt.go` — add `TranscribeStream(ctx, audio <-chan Audio) (string, error)` to `Transcriber` interface; `Stub` returns empty; `Remote` forwards chunks to worker socket
-4. Add `IntentCapture` to `internal/router/intent.go` — slots: `Action` ("start"/"stop"/"status"), `Duration`
-5. Wire capture handler in `cmd/mavend/voice.go:reactiveHandler` — start = spawn goroutine receiving audio, stream to STT; stop = finalize, send to LLM for summarization, write note via `WriteNote`
-6. Add capture config to `voice` block in `config.Config` — `{capture_enabled, capture_timeout}`
-7. Test with a recorded WAV file — simulate a meeting, verify transcription + summary note is created
+| Piece | Where |
+|---|---|
+| Session state machine: start / append / stop / abort / status | `internal/capture/capture.go` |
+| Map-reduce summarisation against `n_ctx` 4096 | `internal/capture/summarize.go` |
+| Audio blobs in the shared store, pruned by `media.retention` | `internal/media` (from #252) |
+| Config block `capture`, off by default | `internal/config/config.go` |
+| IPC `capture_start` / `capture_append` / `capture_stop` / `capture_status` | `internal/ipc/{wire,api,client,server}.go` |
+| Authority: the three write methods `AuthWrite`, status `AuthRead` | `internal/auth/policy.go` |
+| Daemon wiring, note write, STT reuse | `cmd/mavend/capture.go` |
+
+The audio lands in the same content-addressed blob store as images, under the same retention
+loop, because #252 and #253 have the same intake problem and solving it twice would mean two
+directories to remember to prune.
+
+## The refusals, and why
+
+**Nothing listens.** The original step 8 called for capture "triggered by voice command
+(IntentCapture) **or configurable keyword ('maven record')**". The keyword half is refused.
+Noticing a keyword requires listening to the room continuously, which is precisely the
+behaviour this capability must not have, and the refusal is in the code rather than in a
+comment: `Recorder.Append` is the only way audio enters, and it returns `ErrNoSession` unless
+someone explicitly started a session. Audio arriving at an idle core is dropped, not buffered
+"just in case".
+
+**Off unless configured, twice over.** No `media` block ⇒ nowhere to keep audio ⇒ the four
+methods do not exist. No `capture` block with `enabled: true` ⇒ they still do not exist. On an
+unconfigured box there is no wire path at all that begins a recording. That is the only
+guarantee worth making here, and it is the reason the hooks use the nil-hook ⇒
+`ErrUnknownMethod` pattern rather than an in-handler check.
+
+**A forgotten session ends itself.** `max_minutes` defaults to 120 and is checked on every
+append, not on a timer that could be missed. Past the cap `Append` returns `ErrExpired`
+permanently, so a client that ignores the error cannot grow the recording; the audio collected
+before the cap is kept and `Stop` still works.
+
+**"Забудь, не записывай" leaves nothing behind.** `capture_stop` with `discard: true` throws
+the session away without storing, transcribing or summarising anything — not a blob with a note
+saying it was abandoned. Nothing.
+
+**The transcript is not saved by default.** The summary is written where he will read it; the
+verbatim record of what other people said in a room is a heavier thing to keep and takes a
+deliberate `save_transcript: true`. The audio blob is pruned by `media.retention` either way.
+
+**No second STT.** Step 3 of the original plan extended the `Transcriber` interface with
+streaming. Not needed and not done: whisper.cpp already runs as `mavsttd`, and `internal/capture`
+takes the ordinary `stt.Transcriber` the voice path already holds (exposed as
+`voiceWiring.transcriber`). Long recordings are handed over in five-minute windows —
+`chunkAudio`, cut on sample boundaries — for the same reason whisper itself works in 30-second
+windows: an hour of PCM in one call either times out or blocks the voice path for minutes.
+Capture with voice off is refused rather than degraded, because storing hours of unreadable
+audio of other people is worse than not recording.
+
+**Not `AuthStepUp`.** Recording people is invasive enough to argue for the top rung, and it is
+still wrong: step-up needs a passkey gesture, which the voice path cannot make, so
+"запиши встречу" could never work by voice — the only way he will actually use this. `AuthWrite`
+plus the off-unless-configured gate is the honest combination.
+
+## Long audio against a 4096-token context
+
+The resident model is a Thinking variant at `n_ctx` 4096, so an hour of transcript does not fit
+in one prompt and never will. `summarize.go` does map-reduce and nothing cleverer: split the
+transcript on sentence boundaries into 3000-rune windows (about 1100 Qwen tokens of Russian,
+leaving room for the persona block, the reasoning and the answer), summarise each, then
+summarise the summaries. A transcript that fits in one window skips the reduce step.
+
+Truncation was the alternative and is rejected: a truncated meeting summary reads as complete
+and is not, and he would act on it. Past `max_chunks` (40, roughly the two-hour cap) the
+transcript *is* cut, and the summary says so in the note.
+
+Two degradations are deliberate and both are reported rather than hidden:
+
+- No llama-server ⇒ transcript, no summary. The words exist.
+- The reduce call fails ⇒ the per-chunk summaries are returned joined. Real work, not thrown
+  away over the last call.
+
+The map and reduce prompts contain no first person at all, so the persona's feminine-form rules
+have nothing to get wrong in them; the reply she actually gives him is phrased by the ordinary
+replier, which does carry the persona.
+

+- **`cmd/mavheard`** — the workpc-side microphone agent. Deferred, not refused: the core half
+  is the part with the invariants in it, and a mic client is straightforward once there is a
+  stable wire to stream at. It should be an explicit-start process, not a resident one, for the
+  same reason the recorder has no keyword trigger. The four IPC methods are the wire it will
+  use; `mavenclient` already has the mic plumbing to borrow.
+- **Router intent.** "запиши встречу" / "хватит" does not route anywhere yet. It needs the
+  `system` intent plus slots, and it needs care: "хватит" is also how someone tells her to stop
+  talking, so the recorder's stop and the speech barge-in must not collide.
+- **A `/dash` panel** showing a running session, so a recording is visible on a surface and not
+  only in a log line.

+- *Step 3, LLM-generated profile stored as a fact.* The profile is COUNTED, not

+  most expensive kind of wrong maven can be. Counting is verifiable and cheap.
+- *Step 5, incremental updates on fact write.* There is no cache to keep fresh —

+- *Step 4, proactive daily plan proposals via the dispatcher.* Maven is not a nag,
+  and a nudge at 08:00 every day proposing the day is the definition of one. The
+  sanctioned path from "she noticed a pattern" to "she acts on it" already exists:
+  `internal/pattern/detector.go` proposes a routine, and the owner accepts it on
+  `/routines`. It goes through him.
+
+Still open, if wanted later: `MethodGetBehaviorProfile` + a `/dash` panel (step 7).
+The counted profile needs no new IPC method to be *asked* about — the query source
+reads `RecentFacts` over the existing surface — so this is a display concern only.

 # Plan: Speaker Recognition
 
-**Goal:** Maven can distinguish between different speakers on the voice channel — recognize known voices (the user, family members) and tag facts/notes/transcripts with a speaker identity.
+**Goal:** Maven can tell who is speaking on the voice channel, and tag what she writes with
+who said it.
 
-**Done when:**
-- Speaker embedding extractor (e.g., ECAPA-TDNN or a simple MFCC + GMM) runs on incoming voice PCM before STT
-- Embedding is compared against enrolled speaker profiles (stored as vectors in the `memory_vectors` table alongside semantic memory)
-- Unknown speakers are enrolled on first interaction (prompt: "кто это?")
-- All voice fact/note writes are tagged with `speaker:<id>` in the value/source metadata
-- Speaker identity is available as context to the router, phraser, and replier ("ok, <name>")
+**Status (2026-08-01, Vikunja #255):** the enrolment half is shipped. The recognising half is
+**BLOCKED on a model download** — there is no speaker-embedding model on this box, and one
+was not invented to fill the gap. See "Blocked, and on what" below.
 
-**Scope:**
-- New `internal/speaker/` package — enrollment, recognition, embedding extraction
-- Reuses `internal/store.MemoryStore` for speaker vector storage (same `memory_vectors` table, different `source` prefix)
-- Reuses `internal/audio` for PCM preprocessing
-- Integration point: `cmd/mavend/voice.go:HandlePushToTalk` — speaker ID extracted before STT, passed through context
+## What shipped
 
-**Steps:**
-1. Research speaker embedding approaches — simplest floor: MFCC + cosine similarity via `github.com/mjibson/go-dsp` or a pre-trained ONNX model (SpeechBrain ECAPA)
-2. Create `internal/speaker/recognizer.go` — `Recognizer` interface: `Identify(pcm []float32) (SpeakerID, confidence)`, `Enroll(id, pcm)`
-3. Create `internal/speaker/store.go` — speaker profile CRUD via `store.MemoryStore`: `Insert("speaker:<id>", embedding, meta)`, `Search(embedding, k)`
-4. Create `internal/speaker/enroll.go` — enrollment flow: capture N seconds of audio, extract embedding, prompt for name via TTS + STT round-trip
-5. Wire into `cmd/mavend/voice.go:HandlePushToTalk` — run speaker ID on the PCM before STT; pass speaker ID through `context.Context` to `applyAction`
-6. Tag all voice-written facts/notes with speaker ID — `Source` becomes `tap:voice:speaker:<id>` or metadata field
-7. Add IPC methods `MethodEnrollSpeaker`, `MethodListSpeakers`, `MethodRemoveSpeaker`
-8. Add speaker config block to `voice` in `config.Config` — `{speaker_recognition: true, model_path}`
-9. Test with 2+ recorded voice samples — verify correct identification and rejection of unknown speakers
+| Piece | Where | State |
+|---|---|---|
+| `Recognizer` — identify, list, get, forget | `internal/speaker/recognizer.go` | done; `Identify` answers `ErrDisabled` until a model exists |
+| Enrolment — several samples, averaged, re-normalised | `internal/speaker/enroll.go` | done |
+| Profile shape, id validation, cosine similarity | `internal/speaker/speaker.go` | done |
+| Profile storage as `speaker:<id>` vectors | `internal/memory` `Catalog` + `internal/store/memory.go` | done, no schema migration |
+| Config block, off by default | `internal/config` `SpeakerConfig` | done |
+| `enroll_speaker` / `list_speakers` / `forget_speaker` | `internal/ipc` | done, absent unless configured |
+| Authority rows | `internal/auth/policy.go` | done — enrol step-up, forget write, list read |
+| Daemon wiring + honest startup log | `cmd/mavend/speaker.go` | done |
+| Embedding backend | `newSpeakerEmbedder` | **BLOCKED** — returns nil, seam only |
+| Tagging voice writes with the speaker | `cmd/mavend/voice.go` | not wired; nothing to tag with yet |
+
+## Blocked, and on what
+
+A voiceprint needs a speaker-embedding model. The box was searched: `/mnt/hdd1/llms` holds
+sixteen ggufs across seven families and every one of them is a text model. There is no ECAPA,
+no x-vector, no titanet, no wespeaker, and no `.onnx` under `/mnt/hdd1` at all. There are also
+no enrolment samples, because nothing has ever recorded any.
+
+To unblock, two things are needed and neither can be done from inside the repo:
+
+1. **A model.** SpeechBrain ECAPA-TDNN exported to ONNX (`speechbrain/spkrec-ecapa-voxceleb`,
+   192-dim) is the usual choice and runs on CPU in well under a second for a few seconds of
+   audio. Download it per the recipe in `AGENTS.md`, put it beside the other models so the
+   bind mount picks it up, and point `speaker.model_path` at it.
+2. **An implementation of one function.** `newSpeakerEmbedder` in `cmd/mavend/speaker.go` is
+   the entire seam: give it an ONNX session that turns `audio.Audio` into a `[]float32` and
+   `Identify` starts working. Nothing else changes — not the store, not the protocol, not the
+   authority table, not the handlers. `internal/onnx` already loads the e5 embedder, so the
+   runtime wiring exists to copy.
+3. **Enrolment samples**, three or more per person, recorded deliberately.
+
+### Why there is no fallback
+
+The original plan offered "a simple MFCC + GMM" as the floor. That is refused. MFCC cosine
+distance is a channel and loudness detector as much as a voice detector: it will happily match
+two different people who sit at the same distance from the same microphone, and it drifts when
+the room changes. A general classifier that is sometimes wrong is a nuisance; a **biometric**
+that is confidently wrong writes false claims about named people into his memory, and then
+those claims get recalled as fact. For this capability a bad floor is worse than none, so the
+shipped state is honest absence: `speaker.Disabled`, `ErrDisabled`, and a startup line saying
+so.
+
+## The refusals, and why
+
+- **Unknown speakers are NOT enrolled on first interaction.** The plan's fourth "done when"
+  bullet asked for exactly that, with a TTS "кто это?" prompt. It is refused in
+  `enroll.go`'s doc comment and there is no request shape in the protocol that could express
+  it. Enrolling a voice is taking a biometric of a person; doing it automatically to whoever
+  walks past the microphone does it to guests who are not party to the exchange, and a
+  synthesised question into a room is not consent from whoever happens to answer. Enrolment is
+  an explicit act: an id, a name, and samples recorded for the purpose.
+- **One sample is not enough.** Three separate utterances and nine seconds minimum. A profile
+  built from one sentence encodes that sentence as much as the person, and the threshold then
+  behaves unpredictably against everything else.
+- **An unknown voice stays unknown.** Below threshold, `Identify` returns `ErrUnknown` naming
+  the closest profile in the error text for diagnosis, never as an answer. Guessing who is in
+  the room is how false memories about people get written.
+- **Deletion is one authority rung below enrolment.** Everywhere else in `policy.go` the
+  destructive direction is gated at least as hard as the constructive one. Here that would be
+  backwards: getting rid of a biometric must never be the harder half.
+- **The voiceprint never crosses the socket.** `ListSpeakersResp` carries ids, names, dates
+  and sample counts. The vector stays in core.
+- **Off unless configured.** No `speaker` block ⇒ the three methods answer
+  `ErrUnknownMethod`. There is no wire path on a default box that takes a voiceprint.
+
+## Storage
+
+Profiles live in the existing `memory_vectors` table under the `speaker:` id prefix, as the
+plan intended, so there is no migration. What that needed was a wider interface than
+`memory.Store`: `memory.Catalog` adds `ByPrefix` and `Delete`. `Delete` is the load-bearing
+one — a voiceprint someone asked to be rid of has to actually go, and a search-only store
+cannot do that. `InMemoryStore.Insert` also became an upsert by id, matching what the
+persistent store already did, so re-enrolling replaces a profile instead of stacking a second
+one behind the first.
+
+Profiles do not collide with note or fact vectors: they are only ever read through
+`ByPrefix("speaker:")`, and a note search never returns one because the prefix is not in its
+query path.
+
+## Config
+
+```json
+"speaker": {
+  "enabled": true,
+  "model_path": "/opt/maven/models/spk/ecapa-voxceleb.onnx",
+  "lib_path": "/opt/maven/lib",
+  "threshold": 0.7,
+  "min_seconds": 2.0
+}
+```
+
+`Recognizes()` requires both `enabled` and a `model_path`, so a half-filled block reads as off
+rather than as a capability that fails every turn. With `enabled` and no model the daemon still
+attaches the three methods — profiles can be created, listed and deleted — and logs that
+recognition is blocked.
+
+## Still open
+
+- The embedding backend (above). Everything below waits on it.
+- **Tagging voice writes.** `Profile.Source("tap:voice")` already produces
+  `tap:voice:speaker:kami`, which is the shape step 6 asked for, but nothing calls it yet:
+  with no recogniser there is no id to tag with. When the model lands, the hook is in the
+  voice path before STT.
+- **Speaker as router/phraser context.** Same dependency. Note the persona constraint when it
+  arrives: Maven addresses the owner informally and speaks to him, so "ok, <name>" needs care
+  for anyone who is not him.
+- **An enrolment surface.** The three IPC methods exist; no page drives them. Enrolment is
+  step-up, so it belongs on `/dash` behind a passkey, with a per-profile forget button next to
+  each row — that button is the reason `list_speakers` exists.
+- **A speaker column on the meeting recorder** (#253). Attributing lines in a transcript is
+  the obvious pairing, and it is the place where getting attribution wrong is most damaging,
+  so it waits for a real model too.

+- **Notes, not facts.** A page's text is not a fact about him. Only the dedup

+//   - A session that is not stopped stops itself. MaxDuration is a hard cap
+//     checked on every Append, not a suggestion; a forgotten recording is a
+//     recording that ends, not one that runs until the disk is full.
+//   - Audio is stored under internal/media, which means retention prunes it and
