 answer. A box with no `workstation` block behaves exactly as it did before the seam: naming
 a gap requires a gap. The offload table in `docs/offload.md` says which caller is which.

+**Speech-to-text moved on 2026-08-09** (V-486). `sttSeam` in `cmd/mavend/voicewire.go`
+builds an `stt.Pair` beside `modelSeam`, preferring CrisperWhisper 2.0 turbo on workpc
+with mavsttd as the floor. It takes only the silent half of the rule. A worse
+transcript is still a turn, so `stt.Pair` has no `TranscribeRemote`. The fallback is
+never spoken. CW2 turbo scores **10.4% WER in Russian against 27.5%** for the `ggml-small.bin`
+mavsttd loads, over 200 Golos clips

+Verbatim, though that corpus cannot separate the two.
+**whisper.cpp cannot load CW2 at all.** It reads its language count off the vocabulary
+size, and CW2's 51897 tokens shift seven special token ids. So it is not a second
+endpoint on mavgpud. It is its own transformers service on port 8081. `stt.HTTPTranscriber`
+posts raw PCM to it with a bearer token, because audio is the most sensitive thing that
+crosses this seam. The switch is `workstation.stt` in
+`deploy/mavend.json`, and deleting the block sends every utterance to mavsttd.
+Text-to-speech has not moved and piper on homesrv is still the only synthesizer.

 CGO daemons (`mavend`, `mavsttd`, `mavttsd`, `mavenclient`) need the vendored toolchain
