-  in the core, wired through the daemon, Web UI, and MCP, and mock-verified. The internal
-  `selectVoiceChannel` and `setSelfMute` lookups were probed live on the real client.

+

+  - [x] C2 core message shape: embeds, forwards, attachment metadata
+  - [x] C3 media-scrape store and puppet walker, tests
+  - [x] C4 slopbot backend, tests
+  - [x] C5 daemon wiring: `scrape media` command, MediaService, `/api/media/*`
+  - [x] C6 Media and Bot tabs in the Web UI
+  - [x] C7a storage limits, retention, warning/confirm flow, storage and clean API
+  - [x] C7b Settings group: limit field with info hover, usage bar, clean modal
+  - [x] C8 MCP service hooks (`scrape_media`, scrape reads, storage, clean; reads in `run_commands`)
+  - [x] C10 downloader: attachment and sticker bytes, hash-addressed, serial, size-capped, retries;
+    embeds excluded in SQL; local files served at `/api/media/<scrape>/<item>/file` and preferred
+    by the Media tab. Live run 2026-09-16: scrape `...-20260916083401` fetched the 784 KB
+    attachment; storage counted actual bytes.
+  - [x] C11 preview caching: Discord-hosted image/GIF previews (WebP 320px, hash-addressed, 5 MiB
+    cap, one attempt) run after every walk in both modes. Live run `...-20260916090722`:
+    `previewed: 2`; thumbs served over `/api/media/<scrape>/<item>/thumb` (200).
+  - [x] C85 Point Settings → Bot at the media tunables. The tunables (Backfilling / Scraping /
+    Timers, including the backfill auto-start toggle) live in the **Bot tab** under Settings, not
+    in the Settings menu; the Settings → Bot card now says so and has an **Open Bot tab** button
+    that closes the overlay and switches to the Bot tab. This followed a report that the latest
+    scrape had no previews: the walk cached 8,570 inline and left 24,112 pending in the manual
+    backfill queue (`auto: false`), which was not running. The queue is running again (started
+    manually); the tunable toggle controls whether future walks drain on their own.
+  - [x] C84 Revert the VOX preset to the NetTTS approximation. The tuned values matched the
+    reference metrics but sounded far off the game voice, so SAM commit `c6b5fb7` restores pitch 3,
+    rate 17, prominences 22, head size 52, lowering 40, volume 70 and reverts the tests, metadata
+    and docs; `tools/vox_compare.py` stays for future experiments. Merged on Veskslop and
+    `poc/.env`'s `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES` regenerated (back to `pitch:3:rate:17:…`). The stored
+    profile stayed cleared, so the auto path now renders the reverted tuning — verified
+    byte-identical to an explicit old-profile render. Wrapper tests pass.
+  - [x] C83 Merge the SAM updates. `~/Projects/Sam/MicroslopSam` moved ahead (VOX preset tuned
+    against the game word assets, `tools/vox_compare.py`, docs, wrapper/test sync). The updates
+    matched our tree except the local `microslopsam.env` paths, so the merge is: the retuned VOX
+    profile (pitch 0, rate 15, head 34, lowering 50), the matching test expectations, the README
+    and design-doc updates, and the new comparison tool. **Also regenerated `poc/.env`'s
+    `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES`** (gitignored) from `setup/veskslop-tts.sh --voices` so the UI profile
+    defaults match what the wrapper writes — without it the panel would have offered the old snap
+    points. Wrapper tests pass; a live vox preview renders. A stored profile override keeps the old
+    tuning until it is double-clicked back to the profile default.
+  - [x] C82 Double-click resets in the voice settings. Every slider in the TTS panel resets on
+    double-click: the voice-character profile sliders (to the voice's **profile default**),
+    expression (the profile default, and the override is truly cleared so the label reads
+    `default`), speed
+    (1), pitch (0), volume (100), highpass (40), echo (off), and word gap (120 ms). Hints say so:
+    "within 2 snaps to default · double-click a slider to reset it" in Voice character and
+    "VOX / HEV · double-click resets" in Radio kit. The profile and expression sliders show the
+    target in the tooltip, for example `Double-click to reset to the profile default (3)`. Also
+    fixed: the speech status and preferences now load at startup (`refreshAudio()`), so the panel
+    and settings show real values before the first open — the profile defaults were empty until
+    then, which would have made the profile reset do nothing. Verified in a browser; the UI smoke
+    test passes.
+  - [x] C81 remchild discovery and heartbeat-miss notices. The server answers UDP probes on 8798
+    and beacons `{type,name,port,id}` to every interface broadcast; `remchild` with no `--server`
+    probes for 5 s, auto-connects on one answer, shows a pick list on several, and falls back to
+    the typed address on none. `--server` skips discovery. The server also watches the fast
+    heartbeat phases (10 s/30 s): a missed heartbeat sends an informational `notice` that the
+    client prints as "the connection may be unstable" — nothing else changes. Verified live:
+    discovery dedupe by beacon id, welcome + 3 ms pong, a no-heartbeat fake client got
+    `missed: 1`, and the client printed a `missed: 3` notice. Branch `remchild` at `e38d7d0`;
+    server running here on 8799 with `--allow-all` and the static client rebuilt for scp.
+  - [x] C80 Request Desktop Website is honored. The layout was already width-driven, so browsers
+    that widen the viewport for desktop mode (Safari, Chrome) got the desktop layout. Browsers
+    that only swap the user agent (Firefox Android) stayed mobile. `app.js` now detects that case
+    (touch device, desktop user agent, phone-sized screen, still-narrow viewport) and rewrites the
+    viewport meta to `width=980`, so the width-driven CSS and JS both go desktop. `isMobileLayout`
+    also returns false when the flag is set. Verified: phone stays mobile, 980px stays desktop,
+    and the narrow desktop-UA case drops the mobile tab flow (the viewport re-layout depends on the
+    browser honoring the meta change; the user accepted rough edges here).
+  - [x] C79 Mobile form controls and the focus zoom. iOS Safari zooms the page when a focused
+    text field renders below 16px and does not always zoom back out. `style.css` now forces 16px
+    on text-entry controls at the mobile breakpoint (25 fields were under 16px, the smallest 11px),
+    sets `text-size-adjust: 100%`, and adds `touch-action: manipulation` to controls. Sliders keep
+    their own font size so em-based thumbs do not resize; desktop sizes are unchanged. Verified at
+    390px: no field under 16px, no horizontal overflow, desktop still 13.5px.
+  - [x] C78 Chat starts on the newest message. `renderMessages` pins the scroll when the channel
+    changes or the user is already at the bottom, re-pins on the next frame and after 120/400 ms,
+    and re-pins on late image loads while pinned. `overflow-anchor: none` on `.vk-message-scroll`
+    stops Chrome's anchoring from dragging the view off the bottom. A user who scrolled up stays
+    put across re-renders, the mobile chat tab re-pins when it becomes visible, and opening a guild
+    channel or DM lands on the newest message. Verified in a browser across all six cases; the UI
+    smoke test passes. A future jump-to-message link must set `state.messagesPinned = false`.
+  - [x] C77 Split user audio investigation. [docs/voice-audio-split.md](docs/voice-audio-split.md)
+    records that the daemon sees only the mixed client output (`VeskslopCapture.monitor` → VAD →
+    STT) and that per-user tracks exist only in the renderer as WebRTC `MediaStreamTrack`s. The
+    core bridge has no WebRTC hooks today. The plan: hook `RTCPeerConnection` for tracks, hook
+    `AudioContext` for track-to-user mapping, stream 16 kHz PCM frames to the daemon, add
+    `preferences.audio.splitUserAudio` (default off), and keep the mixed path as the fallback. Not
+    implemented.
+  - [x] C76 TTS volume and browser preview. `preferences.tts.volume` (0-200, null = natural)
+    rides the speak options; the daemon applies it at play time with an ffmpeg `volume` filter
+    (ffplay's own `-volume` stops at 100). The TTS panel gained a volume slider and a **Preview**
+    button that synthesizes through `POST /api/audio/preview` and plays the returned
+    `/api/audio/tts/<name>` WAV in the browser. Preview never queues, ducks, or touches the
+    virtual mic. Verified live: a 1.6 s WAV served as `audio/wav`, and the volume preference
+    round-trips.
+  - [x] C75 Wakeword routing and the reply-only agent path. Commands now need the wakeword plus a
+    space at the start of the message: default `!s`, so `!s whitelist list`. `!space`,
+    `hey!s cmd`, and bare commands no longer trigger. Settings → Commands picks a preset (`!s !x
+    !c !z !q !e !r !f !v !t !g !b`) or a custom 1-8 character string with no spaces. The
+    preferences group is `commands.wakeword`; the web handler applies it to the puppet live, and
+    the daemon re-applies it on every core connect. Trusted free-form messages now go to
+    `AgentClient` (`poc/src/agent-client.ts`) as respond-only tasks (`mode: "respond"`); the
+    harness returns `{reply}` and the daemon sends it through the normal paced path, so records
+    and the response policy apply. The Go harness still needs the respond-only branch and there is
+    no Go toolchain on this host. `test:trigger` is stale (the core rejects its `debug.emit`
+    action) — see TODO.md.
+  - [x] C74 Nocturne fidelity pass from the third party. Integrated the applied tree from
+    `Debug WebUI mockups(1).zip`: `tokens-status.css` (danger/warn/ok roles and the data
+    scale), `style-overrides.css`, `settings-popups.css`, `polish.js`, the Phosphor
+    `icons.js`, and the token cleanup in `media.css`. `index.html` loads them in their order
+    (the two override sheets last, `polish.js` after `icons.js`). The writeup lives in
+    [docs/ui-changes.md](docs/ui-changes.md). Their tree matched ours file-for-file apart
+    from those files, so nothing regressed. UI smoke test passes; the TTS panel renders the
+    voice-processing block correctly under the new sheets.
+  - [x] C73 Echo on the vox voice. `aecho`'s `in_gain`/`out_gain` scale the dry signal
+    as well as the repeats, so a low echo level quieted the whole line (the classic path's
+    loudnorm hid it; the streaming path has no measurement, so vox + stream word mode just
+    went quiet and the echo disappeared). The stage now runs at unity gain and the level
+    scales the repeats, with a limiter absorbing the summed peaks. Verified with the user's
+    settings: the no-echo, mild, and strong cases keep the same voice RMS while the echo
+    tail grows with the delay. Wrapper tests pass.
+  - [x] C72 Voice processing settings and the speak bypass. The TTS panel gained a **voice
+    processing** block (echo cancellation, auto gain, noise cancellation, and **off while
+    speaking**), stored in `preferences.voice` and applied live on save. While a TTS burst plays,
+    the daemon turns every supported gate off and restores the resting state when the queue drains;
+    `voice.join` applies the resting state after connecting. `voice.processing` gained a
+    `readOnly` probe (MCP `set_voice_processing` too). Verified live: gates ON at rest → all off
+    during speech → restored after. Krisp noise suppression is not a checkbox because its getter
+    ignores the setter in this client build.
+  - [x] C71 Voice processing gates off. The TTS line was ramping in because Discord's automatic
+    gain control (and echo/noise cancellation) were on. New `voice.processing` core action reads and
+    sets the gates (defaults off) plus an optional input volume; MCP `set_voice_processing` exposes
+    it, and `voice.join` disables all supported gates before connecting. Live check on the real
+    client: before = echoCancellation true, automaticGainControl true, noiseCancellation true,
+    noiseSuppression false; after = all false. Note these settings are client-local, not account
+    settings.
+  - [x] C70 Speak panel honesty. Two bugs behind "speak stays queued": the panel never updated
+    `#tts-status` after queuing (now it polls the daemon and shows `speaking…`, `queued (N)`,
+    `done`, then `idle`), and `/api/audio/speak` turned the panel's `null` option fields into 0 via
+    `Number(null)`, so the wrapper clamped `crunchBits` to 1 bit and set the echo level to 0. Null,
+    undefined, and "" now all mean "unset" for every optional numeric speak field. Verified: the
+    UI payload plays a healthy stream (-8.7 dB peak, 7 word gaps), and HL90 at 8 bits differs
+    clearly from the old accidental 1-bit crush.
+  - [x] C69 Streaming silence fix. Word mode with streaming on played nothing but the hum: the
+    daemon started ffplay as soon as the streamed file passed 44 bytes (the bare WAV header), so
+    the player hit EOF and exited before the first word landed. The wrapper now touches
+    `<file>.ready` after the first word, and `playWhenReady` waits for it (size threshold and
+    timeout fallbacks for other providers). Verified by capturing `veskslop_tts.monitor`: peak
+    -11.2 dBFS with 7 word gaps, versus -48 dBFS (hum only) before.
+  - [x] C68 Half-Life voices and a tidier Radio kit. `vox` and `hev` are now real voices in the
+    list (Keith Bell with the VOX/HEV profile; VOX implies its prosody), so the preset dropdown and
+    the VOX/clean toggles left the Radio kit; the clean option appears only for the VOX voice, and
+    every remaining field has a visible label (echo delay/level, crunch bits/Hz, word gap). The
+    daemon auto-enables prosody for the `vox` voice and the UI no longer sends stale `preset`/`vox`
+    values. Wrapper tests cover both voices and the profile they write.
+  - [x] C67 Crunch, echo options, and streaming word mode. The wrapper gained a separate
+    compression stage applied last (presets hl90/hl90hq/telephone/adpcm/crush plus bit-depth and
+    rate overrides, output still 48 kHz s16le), echo delay/level knobs, and `VESKSLOP_TTS_STREAM=1`
+    word mode that writes the WAV as words finish. The daemon carries `tts.crunch`,
+    `tts.crunchBits`, `tts.crunchRate`, `tts.echoDelayMs`, `tts.echoLevel`, and `tts.streamWords`
+    (default on), with per-line overrides, env exports, placeholders, MCP `speak` params, and
+    Radio-kit controls. `audio-service` starts playback as soon as the streaming file has data.
+    Verified with the real engine: presets differ, stay 48 kHz; streaming wrote 5 gaps for 6
+    words; daemon first sound 0.5 s (streaming) vs 2.4 s (classic) on a ten-word line. Wrapper
+    tests cover crunch and streaming.
+  - [x] C66 Merged the SAM engine into Veskslop. `microslopsam/` is now a full copy of the
+    standalone project as it ran (wrapper, docs, README, build artifacts, and the vendored
+    binaries SAM tracks), the runtime env points at `microslopsam/setup/veskslop-tts.sh` with
+    regenerated voices, and `microslopsam/setup/microslopsam.env` resolves inside the repo. The
+    word-mode + preset fix from C65 landed on the merged wrapper (word mode wins over VOX prosody,
+    parser skipped, per-word rate/pitch tags, preset-aware `--voices`); the wrapper test harness
+    passes and a real-engine run shows 9 per-word gaps at 11.1 s versus 7.5 s for a single
+    utterance. An `env -i` run proved the copy runs without the SAM project. Process rule added to
+    AGENTS.md: read TTS-DESIGN first, keep the in-repo copy current, run the wrapper tests.
+  - [x] C65 Word mode with the Half-Life preset. Word mode no longer yields to VOX prosody: with
+    a preset it synthesizes each word with the preset profile (per-word `\!R`/`\!%` tags), and the
+    VOX parser is skipped because its tags cannot survive a word split. The daemon always exports
+    `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX` (0/1) so an explicit off is not overridden by the preset implication, and
+    the TTS panel allows preset + VOX + word mode together (word mode wins for delivery). Wrapper
+    tests cover preset+word mode with tags, the implied-VOX case, and the profile.
+  - [x] C64 Correct preset application. The design's bug-fix section landed in the wrapper:
+    Flextalk rate/pitch now ride as sticky `\!R` / `\!%` vendor tags (attributes only for MSTTS),
+    neutral sliders emit neither, word mode tags every word, and presets write the audible profile
+    to both registry hives with Gender/Line Mode plus a Default Speaker pointer. `--voices`
+    reflects the active preset in the Keith Bell `defaults=` flags so the panel snap points match.
+    New `microslopsam/setup/test-wrapper.sh` verifies the whole contract with stubbed wine and
+    engine binaries (tags vs attributes, registry shape, preset extras, implied VOX, metadata);
+    all checks pass.
+  - [x] C63 Half-Life presets. The wrapper now implements `VESKSLOP_TTS_PRESET=vox|hev` (Keith
+    Bell profile: VOX pitch 3/rate 17/prominence 22/head 52/volume 70, HEV pitch 15/rate 24,
+    expression 59; other voices untouched; preset < profile < expression; the `vox` preset implies
+    VOX prosody unless `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX` is set). The daemon carries `tts.preset` (vox/hev/null),
+    per-line overrides on `/api/audio/speak` and MCP `speak`, the `VESKSLOP_TTS_PRESET` export and
+    `{preset}` placeholder, and the TTS panel has a preset select that auto-enables VOX (and drops
+    the preset if VOX is turned off). Wrapper syntax checked; preferences round-trip verified.
+  - [x] C62 VOX prosody controls. The last open Veskslop-side item from the MicroslopSam design:
+    `tts.vox` and `tts.voxClean` preferences (per-line overrides on `/api/audio/speak` and MCP
+    `speak`), `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX_CLEAN` exports plus `{vox}` / `{vox_clean}`
+    placeholders for the command provider, and a Radio-kit row in the TTS panel with the checkboxes
+    and a help tooltip. VOX disables word mode in the panel; the wrapper keeps its documented
+    precedence. No other MicroslopSam work is outstanding: the engine branch is already an ancestor
+    of main, and the remaining contract note (HTTP `/voices` discovery) is not needed for the
+    command-provider path in use.
+  - [x] C61 Media browsing performance. The grid's merge step rescanned every scrape database per
+    request (about 300 ms for a page, 250 ms for stats, both refetched on every scroll append).
+    `MediaService` now keeps a candidate cache keyed by a scrape revision plus the normalized
+    filter shape (paging and empties dropped): one scan per filter set, then ~5 ms per page, and
+    stats share the scan. The client skips stats when the filters are unchanged (60 s TTL), updates
+    only the pager instead of rebuilding the toolbar on page loads, and renders tiles with
+    `content-visibility`/`decoding=async`/low fetch priority. Measured: 302 ms first page, 5 ms
+    later pages; smoke test streamed 2,480 tiles with no console errors.
+  - [x] C60 Incremental re-scrapes and archive cleanup. A new scrape of a channel that already
+    has a completed walk now starts after that walk's newest message (the best completed scrape by
+    message count), so it only covers the newer gap instead of re-fetching history; the previous
+    newest is stored as `afterId` and shown as the from-date. Live-verified: a re-scrape of
+    `559354230444654605` started after `999789325183090769` from the 2026-09-17 scrape. Deleted the
+    four pre-pagination-fix test scrapes (superseded by full walks) and the truncated DM scrape
+    with no complete counterpart; `pnpm verify:scrapes` now reports 10 complete, 0 superseded,
+    0 incomplete.
+  - [x] C59 Scrape names and the completeness check. Scrape listings (History, Clean media,
+    Bot-tab job/lane cards) now lead with the first two words of the channel or group-chat name
+    plus the scrape id. New `poc/scripts/verify-scrapes.ts` (`pnpm verify:scrapes`) checks every
+    index: done state, no lastError, messages non-zero, messages vs the Discord search total, and
+    the oldest message against the source's snowflake creation time (60-day grace). Scrapes a
+    later full walk supersedes are reported as `old`, not failures. Result: 10 complete, 4
+    superseded, 1 genuinely incomplete — the early DM test scrape
+    `805255536223715370-20260916215657` (10 messages, pagination stopped before the fix, never
+    re-scraped).
+  - [x] C58 Titles from Discord's embed cache. Gone YouTube videos have no oEmbed answer, but
+    Discord keeps the embed title (and, with the rebuilt core bundle, the author/channel). The
+    title lane now asks the source message's embed first and only then the provider oEmbed; the
+    core maps `authorName` from `embed.author.name`, extraction stores it as `title_author`, and
+    the viewer shows a prominent title/channel heading plus "Video unavailable (removed or
+    private)" when a YouTube row has neither. The 783 title errors were reset and the lane
+    backfilled them: the reported example (message 703788394337009754) now reads "Gun Test: Firing
+    Empty Shell's Handheld XM556 Microgun". The channel name populates after the Vesktop client
+    restarts on the new bundle (the client is externally started).
+  - [x] C57 Page mode. The media grid has an Infinite/Page flippy toggle in the bar. Page mode
+    renders one `pageSize` slice via `offset = (page-1)*pageSize`, shows Prev / editable page
+    number / total / Next, persists the page in localStorage, and scrolls to the next page one at
+    a time with a 2 s cooldown after each load. Same filter + page is stable while the archive is
+    unchanged. Infinite mode keeps the stream buffer; prefetch, buffer fill, and the buffer are
+    disabled in page mode. Page mode pre-loads the next page's JSON and preview images, so
+    jumping one page renders instantly.
+  - [x] C56 Recovery completed. First run after the C55 fix recovered 1,117 of 1,240 Discord-CDN
+    previews (90%); the last 123 were confirmed genuinely gone (refresh + direct fetch and `/stream`
+    both fail) and are marked `unavailable after recovery` so later runs skip them. The recovery
+    query now only covers HTTP errors on refreshable URLs, so proxy `no preview source` rows are
+    not swept. Archive: 26,725 cached previews, 7 pending, 1,621 terminal provider failures, and the
+    recovery task reports 0 to retry.
+  - [x] C55 Recovery fix. The first recovery run parked live files because refreshed embed URLs
+    land in `play_url` while preview resolution kept using the stale `url`; the engine now resolves
+    embed previews from `play_url` first and re-resolves from the refreshed URL on retry, and both
+    refresh branches canonicalize `url` to the direct media link. The task also counts rows that
+    park as suspects as `deferred` (not gone), tries each row once per run instead of looping, and
+    initializes the slopbot so guild scrapes refresh through the bot. The 192 suspects from the
+    broken run were converted back to unverified so they are retried.
+  - [x] C54 Message links, suspect retries, and preview recovery. Items now carry `messageUrl`
+    (from `media_sources` + scrape guild), the viewer shows/copies it instead of the expiring CDN
+    link and opens a fresh stream for View full, YouTube items offer an **Open on YouTube**
+    fallback, and the metadata gained Channel/Scrape/Title (title includes the channel kept from
+    oEmbed, `title_author`). Preview and download HTTP failures on Discord hosts first refresh the
+    URL from the source message and retry; if that fails the row parks as a **suspect** with one
+    delayed retry (50 s, runs after the batch; a batch two-thirds suspect doubles the cooldown,
+    60 s floor). Still-failing rows are **unverified** and skipped by normal passes; the Bot tab
+    shows suspect/unverified counts and a segmented progress bar (cached blue, pending gray,
+    failed red). **Recover Discord previews** is a paused one-shot task that re-fetches every
+    Discord-CDN row closed with an HTTP error across all scrapes (mixed bot/puppet via the
+    existing refresh path) and lands in the task history when done. All 1,208 Discord 404 rows
+    sampled 15/15 recoverable.
+  - [x] C53 Title catch-up as its own lane. Titles no longer share the preview batch: a dedicated
+    `TitleLane` walks every scrape with a pending title, 100 rows per batch with a 10 s pause
+    (hard-coded; it is a one-time catch-up and future titles arrive with the scrape), and takes no
+    media-traffic lock because it only calls YouTube's oEmbed. New `titleBatch` on the engine,
+    per-scrape `titlePending/titled/titleFailed` counters, `/api/media/titles` + start/pause
+    routes, and a Bot-tab card with progress, throughput, ETA, and Start/Pause. The lane
+    auto-starts on boot; with nothing pending it exits immediately. Preview backfill goes back to
+    previews only. Unit tests for `titleBatch` and a lane catch-up run; smoke covers the card.
+  - [x] C52 Wildcard title search. `*` now maps to a LIKE wildcard in both title modes: a leading
+    `*` drops the word anchor (`*car` finds *scar* and *discard*), in-token stars match between
+    letters (`c*r*`), and a trailing star matches the plain prefix. `%` and `_` are escaped with an
+    `ESCAPE` clause so they only match themselves. Unit tests cover prefix vs wildcard vs in-word
+    matches; the drawer hint documents the syntax.
+  - [x] C51 YouTube Shorts normalization. Shorts links broke the embedded player and View full
+    because the viewer needs `watch?v=`. Extraction now rewrites `youtube.com/shorts/<id>` (and
+    `m.`) to the watch form, the viewer also accepts `/shorts/<id>` defensively, and a one-time
+    `PRAGMA user_version` migration rewrites existing rows. The live archive had 45 shorts rows;
+    one collided with an already indexed watch URL and folded into it (preview fields merged,
+    message links moved) — the migration is idempotent and unit-tested, including the collision.
+    45 → 0 shorts rows, and the user's example `uAf18d7mrnU` is now
+    `watch?v=uAf18d7mrnU` with `embed/uAf18d7mrnU` as the play URL.
+  - [x] C50 Title backfill in the queue. YouTube-like rows (provider or URL matching
+    youtube/youtu.be) without a title are now a second work type in the backfill queue: resolved
+    through the provider oEmbed, stored as `title`/`title_key`, with `title_attempts` and
+    `title_error` so deleted videos close out after the tries setting. Titles and previews share a
+    batch (up to half for titles while both remain); `previewCounts().titlePending`,
+    `BackfillMember.pendingTitles`, and the job totals carry the work, and the Bot tab member line
+    shows `+ N titles`. Unit tests cover selection, resolution, and the give-up cap. Live: the
+    user's queue (batch 40, 30 s, auto off) started once to verify — 133 titles resolved in two
+    minutes, dead videos counting toward the cap.
+  - [x] C49 Searchable video titles. Embed rows now store Discord's `title` plus a normalized
+    `title_key` (lowercase, punctuation collapsed). The Advanced drawer has a title field with an
+    **Exact match (quotes)** toggle: default is order-free multi-word prefix search ("Ma Ca Ju"
+    finds *Man who jumps over car*), exact mode is one phrase; rows without a title drop out while
+    the query is set. Store, `/api/media`, `/api/media/stats`, and MCP carry `title`/`titleExact`;
+    the API result and card tooltip expose the title. Unit tests cover prefixes, mid-word misses,
+    exact phrases, and punctuation folding; smoke checks the field and toggle. Note: titles only
+    exist for rows scraped from now on — pre-existing rows need the backfill queued in TODO.md.
+  - [x] C48 Expanded providers and the Must include mirror. The list grew to 19 entries from the
+    user's picks: reddit, twitter, tiktok, instagram, streamable, facebook, gyazo, a merged
+    `giphy,tenor` (one checkbox, two substrings), 2ch.hk (stand-in for 4chan; the CDN hosts stay
+    behind the default URL exclusion), funnyjunk, and internet archive. The drawer gained a
+    **Must include** block mirroring **Do not include**: provider/source-kind checkboxes
+    (`includeProviders`, `includeSources`), file-type chips, and the size/length bounds (moved here
+    since they are inclusions, not exclusions). Store, `/api/media`, `/api/media/stats`, and MCP
+    all carry the two include params. Live-verified: `includeProviders=youtube` returns only
+    YouTube rows, `giphy,tenor` includes/excludes the same rows complementarily; smoke checks both
+    groups against the API list (22 = 19 + 3 kinds).
+  - [x] C47 Provider list from the dataset. Aggregated the `provider` column over all 11 scraper
+    databases (distinct URLs): discord 13631 (folding cdn.discordapp.com and media.discordapp.net),
+    youtube 4840, tenor 352, twitch 196, twitter 111, steam 83, medal 59, sketchfab 31, gfycat 30,
+    imgur 23. Those ten now live in `PROVIDER_FILTERS` (media-scrape), are served in
+    `/api/media/status` as `providerFilters`, and the Advanced drawer renders the source checkboxes
+    from that list (4chan stays out; the default URL host exclusion covers it). Unit test for the
+    list shape and a smoke check that the checkbox count matches the API list (13 = 10 + 3 kinds).
+  - [x] C46 Sort and exclusion filters. The Advanced drawer gained a sort select (newest, oldest,
+    user, size, length; global over the merged URL-dedupe stream) and a **Do not include** group
+    with nested collapsibles: sources (Twitch, YouTube, Discord, Tenor, Giphy, embeds, attachments,
+    stickers), file types, size (less/greater than with B/KB/MB/GB units), and length (seconds).
+    Store, `/api/media` + `/api/media/stats` (shared parser), and MCP `query_media` all carry the
+    new params; size and length ranges drop rows with unknown values, and the ext matching now
+    coalesces NULL content types so a `NOT (...)` cannot swallow rows. Also hid the media filter bar
+    and drawer on the Bot tab. Unit tests for every exclusion, all five sorts (nulls last), and
+    smoke checks for the hidden bar on the Bot tab.
+  - [x] C45 Streaming media grid. The grid rebuilt every card on each appended page, which made
+    filtered browsing flash, and the `Load more` trigger only worked once the grid could already
+    scroll, so short filtered pages dead-stopped at ~11 cards. Now pages append incrementally
+    (existing images are never rebuilt), a stream buffer capped at 1.5 viewport heights keeps the
+    scroll alive while the next page loads, auto-fill cascades while the buffer is on screen, the
+    buffer note reads `Loading more…` / `Scroll for more` / `End of results`, and an elastic nudge
+    replaces the hard stop at the bottom. Smoke test: first load reaches 120 cards via auto-fill,
+    scrolling appends 120 → 440 with no broken images.
+  - [x] C44 One traffic pipeline and split ETAs. Walks and backfill batches now share a
+    media-traffic lock: a walk holds it for its whole run, a batch for one batch, so the pacing
+    settings bound total traffic instead of each action. Starting then immediately stopping a
+    scrape now fetches nothing (tested). Backfill ETAs split into `etaStartMs` (waiting behind
+    earlier jobs), `etaRunMs` (own work), and `etaTotalMs`; the Bot tab shows only the total and
+    puts `starts in X · runs for Y` in the tooltip, same for the queue totals. Tests: lock
+    ordering, stop semantics, ETA ordering.
+  - [x] C43 Bot-tab backfill control room and media-tab strip rules. The engine gained
+    `previewBatch`/`rateLimitStatus`/`updateOptions`; a new `BackfillQueue` groups preview work per
+    chat (paused and resumed scrapes of a chat combine), runs one job at a time in batches, and
+    reports pending/cached/failed per kind, throughput, measured and settings-based ETA, and the
+    live cooldown. `MediaService` drives it and exposes `GET /api/media/backfill` plus start/pause;
+    `/api/preferences` now carries `media.tunables` (Backfilling / Scraping / Timers, persisted and
+    applied live). The Bot tab shows totals with a Bot/Puppet split, per-chat job cards with
+    progress and Start/Pause, **Start backfill** / **Pause all**, the red `API timed out, increase
+    timers` banner, and the three settings groups. The media strip shows running plus one paused
+    scrape, dismisses a paused one on Stop without stopping it, turns red while limited, and shows
+    a session-only `N scrapes completed` note. The old `VESKSLOP_MEDIA_*` tuning env vars are gone.
+    New unit tests cover batching, the cooldown, live retuning, and queue grouping/finish/pause;
+    the Playwright smoke test covers the Bot tab. Also fixed a real stall the queue exposed:
+    `pendingPreviews` never returned thumbnail-less embeds, so they sat pending forever and stalled
+    the job; the store now includes them and the resolver handles Discord CDN unfurls through the
+    proxy frame, with a content-type guard so the og:image fallback never reads media bytes. Live:
+    daemon restarted, pending falling (6018 → ~5900), cached rising, dead CDN unfurls closed as 404,
+    jobs queue smallest-first, settings round-trip verified (21.4 → 37.5 rows/min at 30 s cooldown).
+  - [x] C42 Preview attempts cap. The restart log showed the backfill retrying dead hosts (Gfycat
+    DNS is gone, Streamable answers 400) forever as "transient". Rows now carry
+    `preview_attempts`; after `VESKSLOP_MEDIA_PREVIEW_MAX_ATTEMPTS` (3) the row is marked
+    `unreachable after N attempt(s)` and leaves the pending queue. Unit-tested.
+  - [x] C41 Restart keeps its logs. A button restart spawned the replacement with `stdio: ignore`,
+    so anything after the restart vanished. The replacement now appends to `daemon.log` beside the
+    token file (`VESKSLOP_DAEMON_LOG` overrides); documented in [docs/daemon.md](docs/daemon.md).
+  - [x] C40 Stale scrape states. Two `general_chut` scrapes showed `running` because the daemons
+    that owned them were killed mid-job; the state file kept the last written value. On daemon
+    start the engine now reconciles `running`/`queued` scrapes to `paused`, and History has a
+    per-scrape **Delete** button (clean with a single ID) next to Resume. Unit-tested.
+  - [x] C39 File-type filter and the 4chan default. The Advanced drawer gained extension chips
+    (video mp4/webm/mov/mkv, image png/jpg/gif/webp/avif, audio mp3/ogg/wav/m4a/flac) matched on
+    URL or content type, plus a default-on **Hide 4chan links (usually dead)** toggle. Backend,
+    API (`ext`, `excludeHosts`) and MCP support; live: video count 7696 → 7383 with the default
+    exclusion, `ext=mp4`/`webm` return only those files. Also confirmed the mr-game-memorial group
+    has 924 attachment videos with 772 previews cached and 0 preview errors — the rest are just
+    pending in the 2,140-item backfill queue.
+  - [x] C38 Filter layout swap. The common filters (filetype chips, source kind, server/DM
+    origin, multi-select People popover) now sit in the always-visible bar; the Advanced search
+    drawer holds aspect, resolution, channel, date range, cached-only, and the card-size slider.
+    Apply/Reset stay in the bar. Fixed a dropped `defaultFilters` helper found by the Playwright
+    smoke test, which passes on the new layout.
+  - [x] C37 Advanced search drawer, adaptive paging, and zoom. Filters moved into an **Advanced
+    search** drawer with Apply/Reset (no auto-update): filetype chips, source kind, origin
+    (server/DM), multi-select People, and an Advanced section (aspect, resolution, channel, dates,
+    **cachedOnly**). A **Card size** slider scales tiles from 100 px (2/3 of current) to one image
+    per row; page size = full rows about 1.5 screens tall and follows zoom/resize. Infinite scroll
+    preloads the next page's JSON and previews. Backend gained `authorIds`, `origin`, `cachedOnly`
+    on `/api/media`, `/api/media/stats`, and MCP `query_media`. Verified: `origin=dm` and
+    `cachedOnly=1` return the expected rows.
+  - [x] C36 Daemon restart, preview diagnostics, browse-time caching, and rate-limit pauses.
+    Settings → Server has a **Restart daemon** button (`POST /api/daemon/restart`: re-execs the
+    daemon, keeps the client running). The preview pass logs every failure with scrape/item/kind/
+    provider/reason plus a per-pass summary, and `GET /api/media/preview-failures` lists them.
+    Browsing no longer fetches Discord at all: the grid uses cached stills only (placeholders for
+    missing ones), GIF hover plays the cached animated GIF (kept as `anim_hash`, served from
+    `/anim`), and streaming only starts on explicit play. `429`s from previews/downloads raise a
+    cooldown (`VESKSLOP_MEDIA_RATELIMIT_PAUSE_MS`, default 60 s, or `Retry-After`), leaving rows
+    pending and pausing both walker and previews.
+  - [x] C35 Walk/preview cycling. A live scrape now alternates: walk 5 pages, preview up to one
+    batch (25, with the cooldown), walk on. Tiles fill in during a long walk instead of only at the
+    end, and preview traffic is spread through the walk. Configurable with
+    `VESKSLOP_MEDIA_WALK_CYCLE_PAGES` (0 defers previews to the end). The final pass still drains
+    whatever remains.
+  - [x] C34 Resume from cursor. A paused scrape can continue where it stopped instead of
+    re-walking the top: `POST /api/media/scrape/resume`, MCP `resume_media_scrape`, and a Resume
+    button in History. Previews never needed the walk — backfill fetches them straight from the
+    stored URLs; the walk is only for discovery. Live: the paused `gernal_chut` scrape resumed at
+    cursor `365256427247239181`, fetched its final page, and entered the preview pass.
+  - [x] C33 Puppet history pagination. The core's `message.fetch` read the client store, which
+    keeps only the newest messages plus the channel's first — every page was 10 messages and the
+    walk stopped after one page (a 10-message, 4-media scrape of an ancient group with thousands
+    of messages). It now fetches through the client's REST layer first (contiguous 100-message
+    pages, `transport: "rest"`), store as fallback. Rebuilt and restarted the managed client;
+    live re-run of channel `591000745164406784`: 21+ pages / 2,100+ messages and climbing, with
+    hundreds of images/videos being indexed.
+  - [x] C32 Group-chat clarity and puppet refresh. Group DM scrapes already worked (live-verified
+    against the running daemon: `zıbb & fred` and a 1:1 DM, backend `puppet`, done, previews
+    cached); the Group chat tab had shown an empty list while the core was offline. It now says so
+    explicitly and offers Retry. Expired attachment URLs in DM/group-DM scrapes refresh through
+    the core bridge (`message.fetch` with `before: id+1`, which returns exactly the target).
+  - [x] C31 Batched previews. The preview pass now runs in batches (default 25) with a cooldown
+    (default 60 s), configurable via `VESKSLOP_MEDIA_PREVIEW_BATCH` and
+    `VESKSLOP_MEDIA_PREVIEW_BATCH_PAUSE_MS`; batching counts rows, not successes. Live log:
+    `preview batch of 25 done, pausing 60000 ms`.
+  - [x] C30 Preview completeness. Audio attachments and voice messages get an ffmpeg waveform
+    strip; oversized animated GIFs fall back to an ffmpeg-read first frame instead of `too large`;
+    transient network failures stay pending for the next backfill instead of becoming permanent.
+    Live: a scrape with 58 audio items backfilled 13 waveforms in 40 s, serving `image/webp`.
+    Remaining non-cached: Lottie stickers/custom emoji (not indexed as media) and embeds whose
+    pages refuse bots (marked PRIVATE/GONE by their 403/404).
+  - [x] C29 Attachment video previews. Discord's image proxy renders a frame for video files
+    (`?width=320&height=320&format=webp`), so `previewUrlFor` now resizes attachment mp4/webm in
+    links mode too and `pendingPreviews` includes non-embed videos. Live: paused-scrape videos
+    backfilled to `image/webp` thumbs, pending queue drained to 0.
+  - [x] C28 Media grid usability. Infinite scroll (240 px threshold) with a Load more fallback,
+    `previewError` exposed so tiles show PRIVATE (403) or GONE (404/410) with the reason in the
+    tooltip, and the scrape strip lists only queued/running jobs — paused scrapes move to History.
+  - [x] C27 Non-media stream guard. Rows awaiting backfill fell back to first-frame `<video>` with
+    a provider page URL (YouTube embed, redirectors), and the stream route piped the HTML through
+    (`text/html` errors). Now only real video files (mp4/webm/m4v) are framed, the stream route
+    returns `415` for non-media upstreams, the viewer's still-frame is gated the same way, and
+    "Open in new tab" prefers `play_url`. Live: YouTube item → 415 JSON; backfill reached
+    184/271 previews during the run.
+  - [x] C26 YouTube preview root cause. Dedupe picked the newest row per URL; a paused scrape
+    (`gernal_chut`, stopped mid-walk) had no previews yet and hid an older scrape that did. Fixes:
+    dedupe prefers the richer row (downloaded > preview > newer), paused walks still run the
+    download/preview passes for collected pages, daemon start backfills previews for scrapes that
+    paused early, and preview gaps are now 200-600 ms. Live: backfill cached 24 previews in the
+    paused scrape within 45 s and a YouTube item then served `thumbUrl`.
+  - [x] C25 Live scrape progress. The media tab polls `/api/media/scrapes` every 4 s while open,
+    so the running row counts update; pages show `X/Yp (~Z%)` from `estimatedMessages` when the
+    search total is available (some channels deny the bot search with Missing Access, so it stays
+    optional). Live: pages/messages incremented 2→10 during a walk on `gernal_chut`.
+  - [x] C24 Embeddable items open straight into their player: clicking a YouTube/Vimeo/Twitch/
+    Streamable card shows the iframe immediately, no extra play press. Non-embeddable videos keep
+    the still + play icon.
+  - [x] C23 Grid and viewer source fixes. The grid now prefers the cached still (or local file) for
+    every kind, and only falls back to a first-frame video, served through the same-origin stream
+    endpoint instead of hotlinked CDN/redirector URLs (fixes fxtwitter/YouTube previews that ORB
+    blocked while the cached thumb sat unused). The viewer shows a muted first frame for videos
+    without a still, and stream refreshes the signed URL only when the stored one fails (4xx). Live:
+    stream returned 206 video/webm for a thumbnail-less video; YouTube rows keep their cached thumb.
+  - [x] C22 Media grid polish: per-kind status row
+    (`(Images/Videos) | Downloaded I/V | Cached I/V | Loaded I/V`), GIF tiles with a translucent
+    GIF label that play the animated original on hover (cached previews are static ffmpeg frames),
+    Tenor oEmbed preview resolution, and first-frame/inline playback for embeds that carry
+    Discord's `videoUrl` (Tenor/gifv now classify as video with `play_url`). `remotePreviewUrl`
+    exposes the animated source to the UI. Live: stats per kind correct; Tenor embed stored with
+    `play_url`.
+  - [x] C21 Playback of non-downloaded and expired media. `play_url` stores the embed's direct
+    video (gifv/Tenor mp4); a new `/api/media/<scrape>/<item>/stream` route serves the local file
+    or re-fetches the source message through slopbot to refresh expired signed CDN URLs and streams
+    it with Range support. The viewer and **View full** use it, so Discord attachment videos play
+    without a prior download and old links no longer dead-end. Live: 2.5 MB webm streamed 200 with
+    a refreshed URL; play_url populated for a media.discordapp.net gifv mp4 and provider
+    redirectors.
+  - [x] C20 Cross-scrape dedupe and viewer polish. `queryMedia` and `stats` deduplicate by URL
+    (newest scrape wins), so overlapping scrapes no longer duplicate cards or counters (live: 17
+    items / 17 unique). Viewer: big play icon top-right; play embeds a provider player or a direct
+    mp4/webm/m4v, otherwise opens the external warning; **View full** opens the embedded
+    media/player in a new tab while the link button opens the original page; duration is stored
+    (Discord attachment duration, ffprobe for downloads, 0 normalized to unknown); favicon added.
+  - [x] C19 External embed previews and MIME fixes. Embeds with no thumbnail in Discord's data are
+    resolved via provider oEmbed/fxtwitter and an `og:image` fallback; preview bytes keep their
+    real extension (`preview_ext`), so JPEG thumbnails serve as `image/jpeg` instead of mislabeled
+    WebP (the browser "Content-Type image/webp is not supported" errors). The grid no longer uses
+    embed page URLs as media, and first-frame `<video>` is limited to playable direct files
+    (mp4/webm/m4v) with an on-error placeholder. Live: fxtwitter/vxReddit/TikTok previews cached;
+    7 jpg + 4 webp thumbs served with the right types.
+  - [x] C18 Video previews and the status row. Uploaded videos have no Discord thumbnails: the
+    grid renders a first-frame `<video>` for them, and downloads generate a poster frame with
+    ffmpeg into `thumbs/` (live: both video attachments in the test channel got posters). The
+    status row is now `(Images/Videos) | Downloaded A/B | Cached C/B (excl Downl) | Loaded L/B`
+    with B = total for the active filters.
+  - [x] C17 Media grid and viewer. Embed videos now render their cached thumbnail with a play
+    icon; a Metadata dropdown picks banner fields (User, Type, Date, Source, Resolution, Length);
+    nothing shows until Load media; the status row reads `downloaded A/B | cached C/D (excludes
+    downloaded) | N loaded` from `/api/media/stats`; clicking a tile opens a viewer with
+    wide-below / vertical-right metadata, full link with an external-site warning, View full, and
+    an embedded player for YouTube/Vimeo/Twitch/Streamable when possible.
+  - [x] C16 Message counting and date-bounded scrapes. Discord search (`total_results`, one guild
+    request, slopbot only) powers `POST /api/media/count` and MCP `count_media_messages`; the
+    confirm dialog has From/To dates plus a **Check Message Count** button; the walk honors
+    `afterId`/`beforeId`; `estimatedMessages`, `fromDate`, and `toDate` land in the scrape meta and
+    History. Live: count 17 all / 17 after 2026-09-16 / 0 before, DM returns a reason, and a
+    from-dated scrape stored 17 messages with `estimatedMessages: 17`.
+  - [x] C15 Scrape UX: custom download destination (absolute path per scrape; files there,
+    previews local, embed thumbnails copied to both, custom files not served), confirmation popup
+    before Links/Download, New scrape/History right-aligned with New scrape furthest right, modal
+    X and backdrop close, active-only progress strip, and a Bot error feed with a red unseen badge
+    that clears on open plus a Clear button. Live run `...-20260916095029`: 6 files and 7 embed
+    thumbnails in `/tmp/opencode/media-dest/<id>/`, 11 local previews, 0 local files, `localUrl`
+    null; error record and clear verified over the API.
+  - [x] C14 Links-mode embed thumbnails, item metadata, filters, and the scrape popup. Metadata:
+    poster (`author_id`/`author_name`), `posted_at`, `width`/`height`, `aspect_ratio`, with an
+    `ffprobe` fallback after downloads. Filters: poster, aspect preset (vertical/square/4:3/16:9/
+    21:9/other), resolution preset (SD/HD/FHD/QHD/4K+/unknown, by shortest side), and a
+    posted-date range. UI: scrape popup with Server and Group-chat trees (server -> channels, each
+    with Links/Download), History popup (time, duration, pages/messages, media, bytes, files,
+    previews), live progress pulse, full-window view. Live run `...-20260916094120`: 11 previews
+    in links mode (embed thumbnails included), poster zzib, a 9:16 short stored as 0.563, and the
+    16:9 filter matched.
+  - [x] C13 Embed thumbnails in download mode: embed rows cache their stored thumbnail URL;
+    the full third-party media is never fetched. Live run `...-20260916091458` on the test
+    channel: 6 files downloaded, 11 previews cached (YouTube, Reddit, Tenor, TikTok, X). Also
+    fixed the state transition: the job stays `running` through download and preview passes so
+    clients do not see `done` early.
+  - [x] C12 Media tab filters and full-window layout: kind chips, source filter
+    (attachment/sticker/embed), source-channel filter, and the view now fills the window below the
+    header and call strip. API/MCP gained `source` and `channelId` on `query_media`. Smoke-tested
+    over `/api/media?source=` and `?channelId=`.
+  - [~] C9 live verification. Slopbot path verified live on 2026-09-16: login Slopbot#5775, guild
+    `177931418704281600`. Test channel links scrape: 17 messages, 4 images + 13 videos, 0 errors;
+    download scrape fetched the 784 KB attachment. Large channel `gernal_chut`: 11 pages, 1088
+    messages, 96 images + 1 GIF + 203 videos, 0 errors (no 429 at the current pacing).     Puppet path
+    verified live on a group DM (`zıbb & fred`) and a 1:1 DM: backend `puppet`, done, 0 errors.
+    The puppet field check is done too: the group DM returned attachments plus mapped embeds
+    (YouTube, Instagram), and the large slopbot channel produced YouTube, Gfycat, Imgur, Steam,
+    and Twitch embeds alongside attachments. Still owed: a stress walk on the second guild
+    (`559346566754729995`, channel `559346566754729997`).
+- Flextalk voice profile, end to end. The profile window is a movable panel that recenters on each
+  open; it carries the character sliders with engine defaults and +/-2 snapping, five named
+  presets, radio-kit effects (high-pass 40-400 Hz, echo 0-100, word mode with a gap in ms), and
+  test lines (Attention, Laboratory, Critical, Health, Radiation, plus two custom lines in
+  `localStorage`) that post the current profile straight to `/api/audio/speak`. Fixed the test
+  buttons reading a stale expression from saved state; they now read the slider like Speak does.
+- Root cause of the profile never reaching the engine (2026-09-15): the wrapper wrote the Flextalk
+  `.reg` with `echo`, and dash's `echo` treats `\2` in `...\Watson\2.0\...` as an escape, which
+  corrupted the key so `wine reg import` was a silent no-op (it still returns 0). The wrapper now
+  uses `printf`, validates that every profile value is numeric, and rejects a `.reg` containing
+  control characters. Documented in TTS-DESIGN.md.
+- The Veskslop agent lives in `agent/` (Go 1.25+, Eino v0.9.19, remote llama.cpp over the
+  OpenAI-compatible API, daemon tools over MCP Streamable HTTP). It is disabled by default
+  (`VESKSLOP_AGENT_ENABLED=1`), takes tasks on `POST /task`, and logs every tool call. Smoke-tested
+  on 2026-09-14: 28 tools loaded, one ReAct round, final message returned. The daemon does not push
+  tasks to it yet. Plan and env vars: [docs/agent.md](docs/agent.md).
+- Remote agents use the daemon's MCP endpoint directly (query state, send notifications). A
+  notification tool set and a documented LAN/Tailscale bind are planned.
+- Mobile web UI first draft: four tabs (Users, Chat, Call, Activity), one pane at a time, 44px
+  targets, tab badge, call bar pinned, Activity becomes the full console. Verified headless at
+  390x844. Next: transcript and TTS box in the Call tab, per the 1c design.
+- Fixed a pre-existing web UI bug: `loadDms` called the nonexistent `renderDirect`, so the DM rail
+  only rendered from other paths. It now calls `renderDmRail()`.
+- Fixed the speaking marks: the core turned Discord's numeric `speaking: 0` into `true`, so the
+  equalizer bars never stopped. The bars now fade in on start and decay out on stop (500 ms), with
+  a 2.5 s idle timeout for missed stops; a mute or channel change ends the state at once. Muted
+  members show no bars.
+- Browser audio: **Client audio** now runs the browser unlock in the click (microphone permission,
+  AudioContext created and resumed, output sink applied) before it starts listening. Verified
+  headless: 52 PCM frames played through a running context. The button label no longer wipes the
+  icon markup.
+- Capture routing: nothing moved the client's playback streams into `veskslop_capture`, so the
+  browser monitor streamed digital silence. The audio manager now adopts matching streams
+  (`VESKSLOP_AUDIO_CLIENT_MATCH`, default `vesktop,electron,chromium,discord`) on device setup,
+  monitor start, and every 5 s while listening or capturing.
+- LAN audio verified end to end on 2026-09-14: a tone stream on `veskslop_tts` was moved to
+  `veskslop_capture` (daemon log: `moved stream 81 to veskpop_capture`) and the browser, connected
+  to `https://192.168.0.178:18801/`, played 256+ PCM frames with a peak of 4096 (a stream already
+  on the capture sink peaked at 29274).
+- Speaking bars are always in the layout now: `scaleY(0)` and transparent when idle, they scale up
+  with the fade-in at start, run the equalizer animation while speaking, and stay on until an
+  explicit stop, a mute, or a channel change. Live data showed repeated `speaking: true` pulses and
+  no stop events inside an 8 s window, so the idle decay is removed: bars stick rather than
+  disappear. The fade runs the equalizer inside a shrinking container, so the amplitude drops
+  smoothly instead of the block collapsing at full height. The core treats a missing `speaking`
+  flag as a start pulse and accepts `user_id`. Core-side changes need a rebuild plus a client
+  restart.
+- Added `poc/scripts/audio-doctor.sh` (`pnpm audio:doctor`): default sink, sink inputs, audio
+  status with adoption counters, a 5 s `volumedetect` on `veskslop_capture.monitor`, and a live
+  event peek. Run it in a real call to trace a silent browser monitor.
+- Live doctor output (2026-09-14): the `vesktop`/`electron` streams sit on `veskslop_capture`
+  (sink 40) already, `adopted: 0`, and `VOICE_SPEAKING` events arrive. Client audio routing is
+  therefore in place. Bot TTS works. Capture was off (`capturing: false`), so the transcript was
+  empty; Vosk transcribes correctly when invoked with the model env.
+- Live call audio works now (the user confirmed TTS is audible and the silent call was partly a
+  per-user volume set to zero for some members, plus another issue). The `volume` read returns
+  `null` because this client build exposes no `UserVolumeStore`; the setter reports
+  `NOT_SUPPORTED`. Volume is not a usable control here.
+- External TTS engine support (external project, first target is a command wrapper): the contract
+  lives in `TTS-DESIGN.md`. Veskslop now has nullable `tts.speed` (0.5-2.0) and `tts.pitch`
+  (-12..+12) preferences, per-line overrides on `/api/audio/speak` and MCP `speak`, `{speed}`/
+  `{pitch}` placeholders, `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED`/`_PITCH` exports, and speed/pitch sliders in the TTS
+  panel. A custom command advertises its voices through `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES`; the espeak list is
+  hidden while a custom command is set. Verified with a wrapper that logged argv and env:
+  preferences and overrides both arrive. Reading the engine's `GET /voices` for the HTTP provider
+  remains future work.
+- The MicroslopSam engine project is now part of the tree in `microslopsam/` (copied from the
+  separate project; its `build/` output and voice data stay ignored). The wrapper was renamed
+  `setup/vekslop-tts.sh` -> `setup/veskslop-tts.sh` and every reference and configuration export
+  was fixed. The engine also corrected the Flextalk pitch finding (REG_DWORD bug), so Keith Bell
+  and Kerry Watson now support pitch and carry no `no-pitch` flag.
+- Implemented the Flextalk Expression profile parameter end to end: `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES` marks the
+  two voices as `expression=59` / `expression=100`; the wrapper writes the registry value before
+  synthesis; Veskslop has `tts.expression` (0-100 nullable), the `{expression}` placeholder,
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_EXPRESSION`, an HTTP/MCP field, and an Expression slider that appears only for
+  those voices (default shown until moved, null leaves the registry untouched). Verified: 0/59/100
+  produce distinct audio, the registry reaches 0x14 for 20, and the UI shows 25/100/default states.
+- Fixed the null-value coercion in the preference normalizers (`Number(null) === 0` turned a
+  cleared speed/expression into 0.5/0); unset now stays null.
+- Renderer-down handling polished: the bridge logs one warning per outage instead of a stack per
+  polled command, and the `navigator.languages` request catches the new timeout rejection instead
+  of raising an unhandled promise warning. (The `exitCode: 9` renderer kills in the live log were
+  client restarts; the daemon's retry handled the startup race as designed.)
+- The TTS panel has speed presets (0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x) under the fine-adjust slider, and
+  the pitch control is hidden entirely for voices that report `supportsPitch: false`. (Flextalk
+  voices no longer report that; see the pitch correction above.) Verified: preset clicks update the
+  slider/label and save.
+- TTS playback has a lead-in of silence before each line (`VESKSLOP_TTS_LEAD_MS`, default 150 ms,
+  max 2000, added with `adelay` in `ffplay`; status reports `ttsLeadMs`) so Discord's voice
+  pipeline is settled before the first syllable. Verified on the sink monitor: first sound at
+  0.02 s with 0 ms and 0.62 s with 600 ms.
+- Speech settings have a **Start engine** button that warms the selected engine
+  (`POST /api/audio/tts/warm`, MCP `start_tts_engine`): it runs one throwaway synthesis so the
+  command engine's Xvfb/Wine/host are up. Verified with MicroslopSam: cold 1732 ms, warm 505 ms,
+  and the UI shows "MicroslopSam ready in 835 ms". The warm text is a full sentence because their
+  two-pass `loudnorm` fails with `inf` on very short input.
+- Startup and crash robustness: `sendRendererCommand` now rejects immediately when the client
+  renderer is destroyed or crashed, and times out after 15 s, so a dead frame no longer logs
+  Electron's "Render frame was disposed" stack once per poll. Device auto-connect retries up to
+  10 times every 2.5 s, because the bridge socket is ready before the renderer's modules load
+  (the live error was `Reflect.get called on non-object` from a lazy lookup at startup). Verified
+  with the mock: attempt 1 failed, attempt 2 set the devices.
+- TTS engines are selectable: the Speech settings and the TTS panel list espeak-ng, the command
+  engine (`VESKSLOP_TTS_NAME`, default "custom engine"), and the HTTP API; unavailable entries are
+  disabled and Auto resolves to the command engine first. Selecting an engine switches the voice
+  list (`/api/audio/tts/voices?engine=`) and hides the language row for single-language engines.
+  The TTS panel now has a voice select next to the speed/pitch sliders. Fixed a slider bug where a
+  null speed preference (`Number(null) === 0`) clamped the slider to 0.5 and then persisted it.
+- TTS controls: the TTS panel has a working **duck on voice** toggle (stored in preferences,
+  reported as `duckEnabled`). Ducking was verified live with the mock: the `veskslop_tts` sink
+  drops to 30% while TTS plays and someone speaks, and returns to 100% after. The Transcript tab
+  in the console has **Start** and **Stop** buttons; the status line shows `capturing`/`capture
+  off`. The espeak-ng voice list now includes the `m1`–`m7`, `f1`–`f5`, `croak`, and `whisper`
+  variants (`<voice>+<variant>`), so each language has about 15 voices instead of one.
+- Speaking state is now authoritative: the daemon polls the core's `voice.speaking` action
+  (`ChannelRTCStore.getSpeakingParticipants`) every second and synthesizes the missing stop/start
+  events; dispatcher `VOICE_SPEAKING` hints feed the same set so stale users clear. This fixes the
+  bars sticking for everyone and the transcript attribution, which credited the first member
+  because speaker intervals never closed. Verified with the mock: a `speaking: true` event cleared
+  within one poll.
+- The client streams sit uncorked, unmuted, and at 100% on `veskslop_capture`, yet the monitor is
+  silent. Gateway `VOICE_SPEAKING` events do not prove inbound RTP, and the TTS path only proves
+  outbound, so the remaining suspect is the client's inbound voice state (stuck deafen or a broken
+  voice connection), not the sink routing. `/health` now returns `selfId` so the bot's own member
+  flags can be picked out of the voice member list; the doctor prints it.
+- Client output is still silent at the sink (`-91 dB`) although the streams are uncorked, unmuted,
+  and at 100%, and a headless Chromium tone into the same sink measured `-7.4 dB`. Added per-user
+  volume reading and writing to find Discord-side silencing: `user.volume` / `user.setVolume` in
+  the core, `/api/voice/volume` (GET and POST), MCP `get_user_volume` / `set_user_volume`, and
+  `volume` in every voice member. A volume of 0 (or an output volume of 0) silences a user even
+  when Pulse shows a healthy stream. `voice.join` also clears persisted self-deafen now.
+  The doctor prints output and per-user volumes.

+## 📼 Media archive
+
+Point it at a channel and it walks the history, indexes every image, GIF, video, and audio item it
+finds, caches previews (Discord's own proxy for attachments, provider oEmbed/og:image for embeds),
+downloads bytes on request, and makes the whole thing browsable in the **Media** tab.
+
+```sh
+@puppet scrape media           # index links (default)
+@puppet scrape media download  # also download attachment bytes
+@puppet scrape media status
+@puppet scrape media stop
+```
+
+- **Two backends, picked automatically.** A dedicated bot account walks guild channels through the
+  official API; the puppet handles DMs, group chats, and anything the bot cannot see. A scrape
+  remembers which backend it used, and the daemon serializes walks and backfills so Discord's rate
+  limits are never multiplied.
+- **Media tab.** Kind/source/origin filters, a People popover, aspect and resolution presets,
+  file-type chips, **Do not include** and **Must include** groups (providers like Discord,
+  YouTube, Giphy/Tenor, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Streamable, …, sizes, lengths), a
+  title search with order-free word prefixes and `*` wildcards, sorting by newest/oldest/user/
+  size/length, and an **Infinite/Page** toggle (page mode pre-loads the next page and lets you
+  bookmark a filter+page).
+- **Bot tab.** Backfill queue with per-chat jobs and ETAs, a YouTube title catch-up lane, a
+  one-shot recovery task for deleted-file previews, a live failure-policy hint, and all the
+  pacing knobs (batch sizes, cooldowns, timers) with server-side persistence.
+- **Nothing is thrown away on one bad answer.** A failed fetch on Discord's CDN is retried with a
+  freshly signed URL from the source message; still-failing rows are parked for one delayed retry
+  and then left unverified, so a finished backfill never churns over genuinely deleted media.
+  Recovering a stale archive has recovered 90%+ of previously "gone" previews.
+- **Re-scrapes are incremental.** Starting a scrape of a channel that already has a complete walk
+  starts where that walk began, so only new messages are fetched.
+- **Verify it.** `pnpm verify:scrapes` (from `poc/`) checks every index for completeness: done
+  state, message counts against Discord's search totals, and the oldest message against the
+  source's creation time.

+# TTS-DESIGN.md — building a TTS engine for Veskslop
+
+This document is the integration contract for a text-to-speech engine that Veskslop will use. It is
+written to be self-contained: an engine developer can work from this file alone.
+
+## How Veskslop uses TTS
+
+1. A line of text is queued (`POST /api/audio/speak` or the MCP `speak` tool).
+2. The daemon asks the engine for an audio file (command mode) or audio bytes (HTTP mode).
+3. `ffplay` decodes the file and plays it into the PulseAudio null sink `veskslop_tts`.
+4. `veskslop_tts.monitor` is exposed as the source `veskslop_mic`.
+5. The Vesktop client uses `veskslop_mic` as its microphone, so the call hears the speech.
+6. While TTS plays and another person speaks, the daemon lowers the `veskslop_tts` sink volume to
+   30% and restores it after. This is "ducking". The engine does not implement ducking.
+
+Lines are serialized: one synthesis, then playback, then the next line. There is no streaming
+playback path and no partial-audio protocol. The engine returns a complete audio object.
+
+## Integration modes
+
+### HTTP provider (recommended)
+
+Set `VESKSLOP_TTS_API_URL`. Select the API provider with `VESKSLOP_TTS_PROVIDER=api` or the
+**API TTS** choice in the TTS panel. The daemon sends:
+
+```
+POST <VESKSLOP_TTS_API_URL>
+Content-Type: application/json
+Authorization: Bearer <VESKSLOP_TTS_API_KEY>   (only when the key is set)
+
+{ "text": "Hello there.", "voice": "anna" }
+```
+
+The response body must be the audio bytes. `Content-Type` selects the file extension: `audio/mpeg`
+or `audio/mp3` → `.mp3`, `audio/ogg` → `.ogg`, `audio/wav` or `audio/x-wav` → `.wav`, anything else
+is treated as `.mp3`. Prefer `audio/wav`.
+
+A non-2xx response is an error. Return a short JSON or text body with the reason; the daemon logs
+it and drops the line.
+
+Use the HTTP mode for any engine with a model load time. It keeps the model warm and avoids the
+per-line process start cost.
+
+### Local command provider
+
+Set `VESKSLOP_TTS_CMD`. It takes precedence over the built-in espeak-ng engine. Veskslop replaces
+these placeholders, splits the string on whitespace, and runs the result directly (no shell):
+
+| Placeholder | Replaced with |
+| --- | --- |
+| `{out}` | Output file path, extension `.wav`. Required. |
+| `{text_file}` | A UTF-8 text file holding the line. |
+| `{voice}` | The selected voice ID, or an empty string. |
+| `{speed}` | The rate multiplier, or an empty string when unset. |
+| `{pitch}` | The pitch offset in semitones, or an empty string when unset. |
+| `{expression}` | The Flextalk Expression profile value, or an empty string when unset. |
+
+The process also receives `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICE`, `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED`,
+`VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH`, and `VESKSLOP_TTS_EXPRESSION` when those are set. Write the audio to
+`{out}` and exit 0. Non-zero exits are errors; stderr is captured into the log message, so keep it
+short.
+
+Command mode is best for fast, stateless engines. It has no shell quoting: paths with spaces and
+shell tricks cannot work. Use a small wrapper script if you need options.
+
+## Audio output requirements
+
+| Property | Recommendation | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Container | WAV (RIFF) | Any format ffmpeg decodes works, but WAV avoids decoder startup cost. |
+| Codec | PCM signed 16-bit little-endian | `pcm_s16le`. |
+| Sample rate | 48000 Hz | 44100 Hz is fine. Discord re-encodes to 48 kHz Opus; a 48 kHz source avoids one resample. |
+| Channels | Mono | Discord voice is effectively mono. Stereo is accepted but adds no value. |
+| Duration | One line of speech | No intro/outro music, no chimes. |
+| Peak level | About -3 dBFS | Leave headroom; ducking and Discord gain must not clip. |
+| Loudness | Consistent across lines | Aim for a stable integrated loudness (roughly -16 to -20 LUFS) so lines do not jump in volume. |
+| Silence | Trim start to under 100 ms, keep roughly 20-50 ms of padding | Long leading silence delays the first audible word. |
+| Edges | 5-10 ms fade in and out | Prevents clicks. |
+| DC offset | None | Center the waveform. |
+
+Veskslop does not normalize, limit, or re-encode the audio. Playback is `ffplay` at 100% sink
+volume, so the engine's levels are what Discord hears.
+
+## Voices
+
+A voice ID is an opaque string to Veskslop. Prefer short, stable, lowercase ASCII identifiers such
+as `anna`, `sv-anna`, or `en-male-2`. The ID can contain letters, digits, `-`, `_`, and `+`.
+
+If the engine has multiple voices, expose them so a UI can list them:
+
+```
+GET /voices
+[
+  {
+    "id": "anna",
+    "name": "Anna",
+    "language": "sv",
+    "gender": "female",
+    "speed":  { "min": 0.5, "max": 2.0, "default": 1.0 },
+    "pitch":  { "min": -12,  "max": 12,  "default": 0, "unit": "semitones" }
+  }
+]
+```
+
+Note: Veskslop currently lists voices from espeak-ng only. A custom engine's voices appear after
+Veskslop adds support for reading this endpoint (see "Veskslop changes needed"). Until then, set
+the voice through the engine's own configuration and leave the Veskslop voice setting empty.
+
+## Speed and pitch
+
+Speed and pitch are engine settings, not Veskslop concepts today. Veskslop passes only `text`,
+`voice`, and `provider`. No UI or preference exists for speed or pitch.
+
+Recommended semantics for the engine:
+
+- **speed**: a multiplier, `1.0` is normal, useful range `0.5` to `2.0`. Do not change pitch when
+  changing speed unless the user asks for it.
+- **pitch**: semitones, `0` is the voice's natural pitch, useful range `-12` to `+12`. State the
+  unit in the `/voices` response so clients do not guess.
+
+Recommended HTTP shape (extras are optional; an engine may ignore them):
+
+```
+{ "text": "...", "voice": "anna", "speed": 1.15, "pitch": -2 }
+```
+
+Recommended command shape: `{speed}` and `{pitch}` are substituted when set, and the same values
+are exported as `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED` and `VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH`. Read either; the environment form
+survives placeholder-free commands.
+
+### How Veskslop should add first-class settings
+
+Implemented on the Veskslop side (2026-09-15):
+
+- `tts` preferences carry `speed` (0.5–2.0) and `pitch` (-12–+12, semitones), both nullable.
+- `/api/audio/speak` and the MCP `speak` tool accept optional `speed` and `pitch` that override
+  the preferences for that line.
+- The command provider substitutes `{speed}`/`{pitch}`/`{expression}` and exports
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_EXPRESSION` only when the value is set.
+- The HTTP provider adds `speed`, `pitch`, and `expression` to the request body only when set.
+- The TTS panel has speed presets, speed/pitch sliders, and an Expression slider that appears only
+  for voices that declare it (`expression` / `expression=NN` flags). Changes save to preferences.
+- Command mode advertises voices through `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES`. Entries are separated by commas or
+  newlines and use `id`, `id|Name`, `id|Name|gender`, `id|Name|gender|language`, or
+  `id|Name|gender|language|flags`, where flags are `+`-separated. Flags: `no-pitch` (engine ignores
+  pitch) and `expression` / `expression=NN` (Flextalk profile parameter with its registry default).
+  `/api/audio/tts/voices` reports `supportsPitch` and `supportsExpression` /
+  `expressionDefault`; the TTS panel hides controls the voice does not support. While a custom
+  command is set, the engine's declared voices replace the espeak list. Reading `/voices` for the
+  HTTP provider is still future work.
+
+Do not encode settings into the voice string (for example `anna+speed1.2`). It breaks voice lists
+and is hard to validate.
+
+## Text handling
+
+- UTF-8 input. Lines arrive trimmed and are at most 1000 characters.
+- Do not parse or require SSML. Plain text is the contract. SSML support can be additive.
+- Emoji, URLs, markdown, and code blocks can appear. Veskslop does not sanitize them. The engine
+  should not fail on an unknown character; skip or verbalize it as it prefers.
+- Keep punctuation-based prosody. A period, comma, question mark, and newline are the only hints
+  for pacing.
+
+## Errors, limits, and behavior
+
+- One request = one complete audio object. No chunked playback, no callbacks.
+- Synthesis blocks the queue. Target under about 500 ms for a short line; state a realistic budget
+  if the engine is slower. A warm HTTP server is the way to meet this.
+- Requests are serialized by Veskslop, so the engine does not need a request queue, but it should
+  tolerate repeated back-to-back requests.
+- The daemon never retries a failed line. Make failures visible in the response and stderr.
+- Do not write to the `veskslop_tts` sink or the `veskslop_mic` source directly. The daemon owns
+  playback routing.
+
+## Optional: caching
+
+Veskslop does not cache audio. The engine may cache by `hash(text + voice + speed + pitch)` and
+return the cached file or bytes. This is useful for repeated lines and for expensive models.
+
+## Veskslop changes needed
+
+Status as of 2026-09-15:
+
+1. `speed` and `pitch` are first-class: preferences, per-request overrides on `/api/audio/speak`
+   and MCP `speak`, env exports and placeholders for the command provider, request fields for the
+   HTTP provider, and two sliders in the TTS panel.
+2. Command-mode voices come from `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES`. Reading the engine's `GET /voices` for the
+   HTTP provider is not implemented yet. Until then, declare voices with the env var or configure
+   the voice inside the wrapper.
+3. No changes are needed for the audio format; the engine post-processes to the required output.
+
+Until `/voices` is wired, use defaults configured in the engine.
+
+## Acceptance checklist
+
+- [ ] Engine starts and answers on a stable URL or command.
+- [ ] Output is mono PCM WAV at 48 kHz (or 44.1 kHz), peak near -3 dBFS.
+- [ ] First audible word starts within about 500 ms of the request.
+- [ ] Speech is clean: no clicks, no clipping, no long leading silence.
+- [ ] Lines are consistent in loudness.
+- [ ] `voice` accepts stable ASCII IDs; unknown IDs fall back to a default instead of failing.
+- [ ] `speed` and `pitch` are optional and documented in `/voices`.
+- [ ] Errors return a short reason and do not leave the engine wedged.
+- [ ] No files are written outside the engine's own cache or the `{out}` path.

+
+## Clarifications from the engine side (MicroslopSam)
+
+_Added 2026-09-15 by the engine implementer. The contract above stands; these points
+record what the engine needs to interpret, add, or hide._
+
+### Output pipeline (WAV requirements)
+
+- Raw SAPI4 output is mono PCM s16le WAV but not at the target rate: the MSTTS voices
+  (Sam/Mary/Mike) render at 22050 Hz, the Flextalk voices at 11025 Hz.
+- Raw Flextalk output **clips** (peak 32768, RMS about 22000) and MSTTS is much quieter,
+  so one shared level target is required. The engine post-processes every line:
+  resample to 48000 Hz, trim leading silence (<100 ms), 5-10 ms fades, DC removal, and
+  level normalization (peak about -3 dBFS, integrated loudness -16 to -20 LUFS).
+- Implemented in `setup/veskslop-tts.sh` with ffmpeg: high-pass at 40 Hz, silence trim at
+  both ends (trim-start, reverse, trim-start, reverse), 8 ms fades, then a **fixed gain**
+  computed from an EBU R128 measurement (`ebur128=peak=true`):
+  `gain = min(-16 LUFS target, -3 dBFS true-peak clamp)`, then 48 kHz mono s16le.
+- `loudnorm` was rejected: on short lines (under about 3 s) the loudness range is 0 and
+  dynamic mode attenuated a 2.8 s line to -37.9 LUFS instead of about -18 LUFS; two-pass
+  linear mode showed the same result. The fixed gain is steady for one-line utterances,
+  as Veskslop suggested.
+- Verified: Keith Bell -18.4 LUFS, Kerry Watson -17.9 LUFS, Sam -20.6 LUFS; every file is
+  48 kHz mono s16le at -3.0 dBFS true peak. The WAV handed to Veskslop is compliant; the
+  "Veskslop does not normalize" rule holds.
+
+### Voice IDs
+
+- Engine voice names are "Sam", "Mary", "Mike", "Keith Bell", "Kerry Watson", plus MSTTS
+  variants (telephone, hall, stadium, space) and TruVoice names that the engine lists but
+  has no installed data for.
+- Assigned stable IDs: `sam`, `mary`, `mike`, `keith-bell`, `kerry-watson`; variants get
+  `mike-telephone`, `mike-hall`, `mary-stadium`, `mike-space`, and so on. Unknown IDs fall
+  back to `sam`.
+- `/voices` (HTTP mode) reports `language: "en"`, gender, and the speed/pitch ranges below.
+
+### Speed and pitch mapping (measured 2026-09-15)
+
+- SAPI4 uses engine units, not multipliers or semitones. Measured on the dev host with a
+  correctly typed Flextalk install:
+  - MSTTS Sam: speed 30-450, natural about 150; pitch 50-200 with a real audible effect.
+  - Flextalk: speed 50-390, natural about 150 (durations at 100/200/300 fit a natural rate
+    near 140-150); pitch 50-250 works. Measured F0: Kerry 0 st = 209 Hz, -6 st = 148 Hz,
+    +6 st = 250 Hz (clamped); Keith 0 st = 119 Hz, +6 st = 170 Hz.
+- **Correction to the earlier note**: the previous "Flextalk ignores pitch / natural 300"
+  finding was an artifact of the speaker registry values being stored as `REG_SZ`. The
+  engine requires `REG_DWORD` for numeric speaker values; with strings it synthesizes a
+  monotone buzz at maximum pitch. Fixed in `setup/setup-flextalk.sh`; no `no-pitch` flag
+  is needed.
+- Mapping implemented in `setup/veskslop-tts.sh`: `speed 1.0` = natural rate 150 for every
+  voice, scaled by the multiplier and clamped to the engine range. `pitch` semitones scale
+  the voice's natural pitch unit by `2^(st/12)` and clamp to the range. Natural units are
+  about 100 (MSTTS), 106 (Keith Bell) and 186 (Kerry Watson). The engines' F0 response is
+  approximate, not semitone-calibrated.
+- `{setting}` is unused; the wrapper reads `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED` and
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH` from the environment when Veskslop later exports them.
+
+### Text handling
+
+- SAPI4 is ANSI/CP1252. The wrapper converts UTF-8 to CP1252 and maps emoji and
+  unmappable characters to spaces. The host passes `TTSDATAFLAG_TAGGED`, so SAPI4 control
+  tags in the text are enabled at the engine level; tagged input is not part of this
+  contract and is untested. Plain text (no SSML) is the contract.
+- Lines up to 1000 characters are well within engine limits.
+
+### Other voice adjustments (beyond speed)
+
+All voices implement SAPI4 `ITTSAttributes`, so **pitch, speed and volume** exist at the
+API level. The Veskslop contract exposes only speed and pitch; volume is available in the
+host as `sapi4host -V <value>` and is not sent by Veskslop.
+
+- **Volume** (measured 2026-09-15):
+  - Flextalk: linear, range 0-65535, default 65535; half (32767) is about -6 dB, 0 is
+    silence.
+  - MSTTS: default is 0xFFFFFFFF; 0 is silence, but the response is not linear (for
+    example 4096 gives about -24 dB while 65535 and larger are full scale). Treat volume
+    as effectively on/off for MSTTS.
+- **Flextalk per-speaker profile** (applied at voice load, not runtime-adjustable):
+  values live in `HKLM\Software\AT&T\Watson\2.0\FlexTalk\2.0\Speakers\{GUID}` (see
+  `docs/NOTES.md` for the full list and defaults). `Pitch`/`Speaking Rate` set the natural
+  voice; **Expression** was verified to change the synthesis audibly (Keith Bell at
+  Expression 0 / 59 / 100 yields different waveforms with the same duration). Changing a
+  profile requires a registry edit and re-selecting the voice.
+- **MSTTS voice character** is fixed by the `.vce`/`.cfg` data; the engine exposes no
+  per-voice profile in the registry. Its effect variants (telephone, in Hall, in Stadium,
+  in Space) are separate voice modes with separate data, exposed as distinct voice IDs
+  (`mike-telephone`, `mary-hall`, ...), not runtime effects.
+- Not exposed by this integration: SSML, prosody/style tags, or SAPI4 attribute
+  extensions beyond pitch/speed/volume.
+
+### Flextalk profile parameters (how to implement)
+
+Each Flextalk speaker has a profile the engine reads when the voice is loaded. It lives in
+the registry; **every numeric value must be `REG_DWORD`**:

+
+How to apply a change:
+
+1. `setup/setup-flextalk.sh` writes these defaults, so re-running it restores them.
+2. Profiles are read at voice load. The host loads the engine per request, so the next
+   synthesis after a registry change uses the new profile; no engine restart is needed.
+3. Example (lower and slow Keith Bell), with `WINEPREFIX` pointing at the project prefix:
+
+       wine reg add 'HKLM\Software\AT&T\Watson\2.0\FlexTalk\2.0\Speakers\{11260610-C84A-11ce-AEC4-0000C0E9CB87}' \
+           /v Pitch /t REG_DWORD /d 20 /f
+       wine reg add '...' /v "Speaking Rate" /t REG_DWORD /d 28 /f
+
+   Never use `REG_SZ` for numeric values: the engine reads garbage and synthesizes a
+   monotone buzz at maximum pitch.
+4. Not exposed by the Veskslop contract (which sends only text/voice/speed/pitch). If
+   profile control is wanted later, the clean place is the wrapper: read an env var such
+   as `VESKSLOP_TTS_PROFILE` (`key=value` list or JSON), write the registry values before
+   synthesis, then restore. That keeps the Veskslop interface unchanged.
+5. Runtime `ITTSAttributes` pitch/speed/volume layer on top of the profile: the profile
+   defines the natural values, the attributes shift them per request.
+
+### VOX mode (NetTTS-inspired, Flextalk only)
+
+`VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX=1` routes the text through a rule-based prosody encoder before
+synthesis. `setup/vox_parser.py` is an independent reimplementation of the VOX parser
+from [h4rm0n1c/NetTTS](https://github.com/h4rm0n1c/NetTTS), which models Half-Life's
+Black Mesa announcement delivery. It was verified byte-identical to the NetTTS parser
+on a 31-line corpus (the reference was built locally with g++ for the comparison).
+
+What it does: sentence splitting; `the` -> `thee` before prepositions, proper nouns,
+single letters or numbers; lead-in breaks ("Now...", "Please...", "A reminder...");
+time/number/degree normalization; token weighting (light/medium/heavy) with break
+insertion at linkers, title-case runs, heavy gates and a 3-beat limiter; letter
+tokens (`A` -> `Ay:`, `C` -> `C:`); `\!sf500 \!br` at sentence ends; and the
+`\!wH1 ... \!wH0` staccato wrapper (disable with `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX_CLEAN=1`).
+
+Requirements and scope:
+
+- Flextalk voices only: `\!br`, `\!sfNN` and `\!wH1/\!wH0` are FlexTalk vendor tags.
+  The host passes `TTSDATAFLAG_TAGGED`, so the engine honors them. Other voices ignore
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX`.
+- Needs `python3` at runtime; the wrapper fails loudly when it is missing.
+- Mutually exclusive with `VESKSLOP_TTS_WORDS` (VOX wins).
+- Measured on the dev host for "Now approaching Sector C test lab. Please stand clear
+  of the test chamber.": plain 4.70 s with 1 pause, VOX 7.81 s with 8 pauses.
+
+Other NetTTS features and their relevance:
+
+- Inline `/rate N`, `/pitch N`, `[[pause N]]`: not ported. Veskslop has speed/pitch
+  controls and the profile window; `[[pause N]]` could be added as a wrapper-level
+  text splitter later (NetTTS supports it only outside VOX mode).
+- TCP server with `START`/`STOP` status sockets: not needed; Veskslop owns playback
+  and knows when a line ends.
+- Winetricks prefix automation (`winxp`, `vcrun6`, `mfc42`, `riched20`): not needed;
+  our prefix runs the engines with builtin Wine libraries.
+- Win32 GUI and preset sliders: Veskslop provides the UI.
+
+### Inline rate/pitch controls (engine-side)
+
+The wrapper consumes NetTTS-style, line-leading controls, so Veskslop and the WebUI do
+not need to parse or implement them:
+
+    /rate 150 Attention all personnel.      # 150% rate, then the line
+    /pitch 90 Attention all personnel.      # 90% pitch
+    /rate 120 /pitch 110 Inbound tram.      # both, in any order
+
+- `N` is a percent (100 = normal, clamped to 0-200); values `<= 2.0` are multipliers
+  (`/rate 1.5` = 150%).
+- They override `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH` for that line and are not
+  spoken.
+- A line that contains only controls yields 100 ms of silence, so the daemon always
+  receives a valid WAV.
+- Rate maps through the normal speed scale; pitch percent maps to semitones
+  (`st = 12*log2(N/100)`) and then through the per-voice natural pitch.
+- Verified on the dev host: `/rate 50` doubles the line duration; `/pitch 150` raises
+  the median F0 from 122 Hz to 177 Hz.
+
+### Paths and configuration (standalone)
+
+The engine project is standalone and archival: it has no path dependency on Veskslop,
+and every non-installable dependency is vendored under `third_party/`, so nothing is
+fetched from the network at build or run time:
+
+- `third_party/speech.h` — SAPI4 SDK header used by the build.
+- `third_party/sapi4/` — SAPI4 runtime (`SPEECH.DLL` + INF), MSTTS engine + voices,
+  and the original installers.
+- `third_party/flextalk/data1.cab` — AT&T Flextalk installer (Keith Bell / Kerry Watson).
+- `third_party/nettss-reference/` — NetTTS VOX parser source, kept to validate
+  `setup/vox_parser.py`.
+
+Only toolchain packages are installed by `setup/install-deps.sh` (Wine/Winelib, ffmpeg,
+python3, unshield, mingw). Everything else lives in the repository.
+
+`setup/install.sh` writes `setup/microslopsam.env` with absolute paths; environment
+variables take precedence over that file, so anything can be relocated without editing
+scripts:
+
+| Variable | Default | Meaning |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `MICROSLOP_ROOT` | repo root | project root |
+| `MICROSLOP_BUILD` | `$MICROSLOP_ROOT/build` | host binaries, samples |
+| `MICROSLOP_PREFIX` | `~/.wine-microslopsam` | wine prefix (exported as `WINEPREFIX`) |
+| `MICROSLOP_ASSETS` | `third_party/sapi4` | SAPI4/MSTTS payloads (vendored) |
+| `MICROSLOP_FLEXTALK_DIR` | `third_party/flextalk` | Flextalk cabinet/extraction (vendored) |
+| `MICROSLOP_SPEECH_H_DIR` | `$MICROSLOP_ROOT/third_party` | `speech.h` include dir (vendored) |
+| `MICROSLOP_DISPLAY` | `:77` | Xvfb display used for Wine |
+| `MICROSLOP_WINE` / `_XVFB` / `_PYTHON` / `_FFMPEG` | tool names | tool overrides |
+
+The wrapper needs only `VESKSLOP_TTS_CMD` to point at its absolute path; it derives
+everything else from its own location plus the env file.
+
+### Merging into Veskslop
+
+This tree is written to survive a copy into the Veskslop repository next to its daemon:
+
+1. Copy `microslopsam/` (or replace the existing copy). The vendored assets under
+   `third_party/` come along, so the merged tree stays self-contained. Then refresh the
+   configuration: `MICROSLOP_UPDATE_ENV=1 microslopsam/setup/install.sh`. Re-running
+   install is idempotent; it rewrites `setup/microslopsam.env` for the new absolute paths.
+2. No daemon changes are required. The env/placeholder contract is unchanged
+   (`VESKSLOP_TTS_*`, `{out}`, `{text_file}`, voice/speed/pitch/expression/profile/
+   highpass/echo/words/word_gap_ms). New features are additive and default off.
+3. Optional Veskslop-side follow-up: a `tts.vox` preference that exports
+   `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX` (like `words`) and a line in the TTS panel help. The inline
+   `/rate` and `/pitch` controls need no UI work at all.
+
+### Transport and latency
+
+- Installation is one command: `setup/install.sh` (system dependencies with sudo, wine
+  prefix + SAPI4 runtime + MSTTS voices, Flextalk extraction/registration, host build).
+  Re-running is safe; a fresh machine needs nothing else.
+- Command provider, implemented as `setup/veskslop-tts.sh`:
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_CMD="<repo>/setup/veskslop-tts.sh {out} {text_file}"` and
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES="$(<repo>/setup/veskslop-tts.sh --voices)"`. The wrapper reads the
+  text file, transliterates UTF-8 to CP1252, starts or reuses an Xvfb when `DISPLAY` is
+  unset, calls the engine, then post-processes (trim, fades, measured fixed gain, 48 kHz
+  mono s16le). A stale private Xvfb is retried once.
+- Measured on the dev host: engine-only synthesis is about 290 ms wall for Sam and about
+  40 ms for Flextalk, including process start; the full wrapper adds the ffmpeg
+  measure/apply passes, about 630-880 ms per short line. That is above the 500 ms target;
+  the known optimization is a per-voice static gain (skip the measurement pass), expected
+  to land around 400-500 ms.
+- Manual checks: `setup/run.sh -l`, `setup/run.sh -v "Keith Bell" -t "Hello." -o out.wav`
+  (raw engine WAV), and the wrapper above for normalized output.
+- HTTP provider (later): a persistent process returning `audio/wav` bytes and `/voices`,
+  with optional caching by `hash(text + voice + speed + pitch)`.
+
+### Quirks the wrapper must hide
+
+- Flextalk numeric speaker settings must be `REG_DWORD`; `REG_SZ` values make the engine
+  synthesize a buzz. `setup/setup-flextalk.sh` writes them correctly.
+- The mode list includes TruVoice names with no installed voice data; filter those out of
+  `/voices` (or mark them `unavailable`).
+- Wine needs a working X display; the project helper starts a persistent Xvfb.
+
+### Licensing
+
+- The engines and voice data are proprietary Microsoft/AT&T/L&H artifacts. Keep this a
+  local integration; do not redistribute the DLLs or voice data with Veskslop.
+
+### Extra acceptance items for the engine
+
+- [x] Post-processed WAV is 48 kHz mono s16le, peak about -3 dBFS, no clipping, fades present.
+- [x] Leading silence under 100 ms.
+- [x] Voice ID fallback works; TruVoice entries filtered.
+- [x] Latency recorded (Sam about 288 ms, Flextalk about 41 ms on the dev host).
+
+## Responses from the Veskslop side
+
+_Added 2026-09-15._
+
+- **Env vars and placeholders**: `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED` and `VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH` are exported only
+  when a value is set; `{speed}` and `{pitch}` substitute the same values. Reading the environment
+  is the safer option because it works even when the command has no placeholders.
+- **Defaults**: a missing value means "engine default". Leave the sliders at 1.00x and 0 st in
+  Veskslop to keep the fields out of the request entirely.
+- **`loudnorm` caution**: single-pass `loudnorm` can pump or over-amplify noise on short lines.
+  Set the target explicitly (`loudnorm=I=-16:TP=-1.5:LRA=11`) and verify a few lines with
+  `ebur128`. A fixed gain that hits about -3 dBFS peak with a consistent RMS is often steadier for
+  one-line utterances. Ducking lowers the sink to 30%, so keep peaks conservative and loudness
+  even between lines.
+- **Display**: the daemon does not export `DISPLAY` to TTS children. The wrapper must start or
+  find its own Xvfb and set `DISPLAY` itself, as the project helper already does. Do not rely on
+  the client's display.
+- **Engine selection**: the Speech settings and the TTS panel list every configured engine. The
+  command engine appears under `VESKSLOP_TTS_NAME` (default "custom engine") and is selectable
+  directly; Auto uses the command engine first. Selecting it hides the language row and shows the
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES` list.
+- **Start engine**: the Speech settings have a **Start engine** button (`POST /api/audio/tts/warm`,
+  MCP `start_tts_engine`) that runs one throwaway synthesis to warm the command engine (Xvfb, Wine,
+  host). Keep the wrapper able to handle a short sentence; the warm-up uses "The quick brown fox
+  jumps over the lazy dog." and reports the elapsed milliseconds. Two-pass `loudnorm` must not fail
+  on that input.
+- **Lead-in silence**: Veskslop prepends a short silence at playback time (`VESKSLOP_TTS_LEAD_MS`,
+  default 150 ms) so Discord's voice pipeline is ready before the first syllable. It is added with
+  `adelay` in the player, not in the audio file. The engine needs no change and can keep its
+  5–10 ms edge fades.
+- **Voice declarations**: list only usable IDs in `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES`. Veskslop hides the
+  espeak list while a custom command is set, so a missing declaration means an empty voice list,
+  not a fallback. The list accepts commas or newlines. Optional flags: `no-pitch` (hide the pitch
+  control) and `expression` / `expression=NN` (show the Expression slider and use NN as its
+  default).
+- **Flextalk pitch**: works now that the speaker registry values are `REG_DWORD`; no flag is
+  needed and Veskslop shows pitch for Keith Bell and Kerry Watson.
+- **Expression profile**: implemented for the Flextalk voices. Veskslop stores `tts.expression`
+  (0-100, nullable), sends it per line (`{expression}` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_EXPRESSION` / the HTTP body),
+  and shows the slider only for voices flagged `expression=NN`. A null value leaves the registry
+  untouched, so the voice keeps its engine default.
+- **Licensing**: keep the engine DLLs and voice data local and out of any repository; Veskslop
+  never bundles or redistributes them.
+
+## Current integration path (Veskslop side, 2026-09-15)
+
+Everything below is implemented. The engine stays unchanged; the wrapper and the daemon do the work.
+
+### Voice metadata
+
+`VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES` entries may carry flags after the language field:
+
+    id|Name|gender|language|flags
+
+Flags are `+`-separated:
+
+- `no-pitch` - hide the pitch control for this voice.
+- `expression=NN` - Flextalk profile voice; NN is the default Expression value.
+- `defaults=pitch:27:rate:33:prominences:17:head_size:46:lowering:40:expression:59` -
+  per-voice engine defaults. The UI shows "default" at these values and snaps to them
+  within +/-2 units.
+
+### Wrapper contract (`microslopsam/setup/veskslop-tts.sh`)
+
+Inputs: `{out}`, `{text_file}`, optional positional voice/speed/pitch/expression, and:
+
+| Env | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `VESKSLOP_TTS_PROFILE` | `pitch:27:...`/`key=value,...` overrides; the wrapper writes the full profile (defaults + overrides) to the Wine registry with `wine reg import` before every synthesis. |
+| `VESKSLOP_TTS_HIGHPASS` | High-pass Hz, 40-400 (default 40). |
+| `VESKSLOP_TTS_ECHO` | Mono echo 0-100 (`aecho`), default 0. |
+| `VESKSLOP_TTS_WORDS` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_WORD_GAP_MS` | Word-by-word synthesis with silence gaps (Flextalk only). |
+
+Placeholders `{profile}`, `{highpass}`, `{echo}`, `{words}`, `{word_gap_ms}` mirror the env vars.
+`wine regedit` fails headlessly but returns 0: use `wine reg import`. A missing profile value
+must always write the engine default so no stale registry state survives.
+
+### Daemon and UI path
+
+1. Preferences (`tts`): `profile` (changed keys only), `profilePresets` (5 named slots),
+   `highpass`, `echo`, `words`, `wordGapMs`, plus `speed`, `pitch`, `expression`, `voice`.
+2. `/api/audio/speak` and MCP `speak` accept all of them per line; the request overrides the
+   preferences and empty fields are omitted so the engine default applies.
+3. The TTS panel opens the **Flextalk voice profile** window (movable, recentered on open) with
+   profile sliders, named presets, radio-kit controls, and test lines (Attention, Laboratory,
+   Critical, Health, Radiation, plus two persisted custom lines). Test buttons post the same
+   options as `speak`, so they audition the current profile.
+
+### Known pitfalls
+
+- The daemon runs from `tsx`: restart it after protocol, preference, or metadata changes.
+- Static web files can be cached; hard-reload the browser after UI changes.
+- `Number(null)` is 0: preference normalizers must treat null/undefined/"" as unset.
+- The renderer log spam on a dead client is throttled in the bridge; background polls fail with
+  `CORE_UNAVAILABLE` and retry.
+- Generate the Flextalk profile `.reg` with `printf`, never `echo`: dash's `echo` interprets
+  `\2` in `...\Watson\2.0\...` as an escape (0x02), so the key is corrupted and
+  `wine reg import` becomes a silent no-op (it still returns 0). The wrapper now rejects a
+  generated profile that contains control characters. This was the 2026-09-15 profile bug.

+# The Veskslop agent
+
+The agent is the local LLM harness. It lets a remote `llama.cpp` instance act through the daemon.
+It is separate from the core and from the daemon, and it is optional.
+
+## Two consumers
+
+1. **The local harness (veskslop agent).** A small Go process on the same host as the daemon. It
+   talks to a remote OpenAI-compatible `llama.cpp` endpoint and to the daemon over MCP. It owns
+   free-form messages. It is the only consumer that runs an LLM loop.
+2. **Remote agents.** External systems connect to the daemon's MCP endpoint and use it as a sensor
+   and notifier. Example: a task runner wants to reboot a switch, calls `get_voice_state` for the
+   owner, sees the owner is in a call, and reschedules. Remote agents do not run an LLM here and do
+   not receive every message. They query state and send notifications.
+
+## Routing: commands versus free-form
+
+The daemon keeps the fixed commands (`whitelist`, `speak`) and the `poll` parser. A trusted
+free-form message becomes a task for the local harness. Commands never go to the LLM; this avoids
+double replies and keeps privileged actions out of model reach.
+
+## Local harness design
+
+| Piece | Choice |
+| --- | --- |
+| Language | Go |
+| Agent framework | Eino (`github.com/cloudwego/eino`), ReAct agent |
+| Model | `eino-ext/components/model/openai` against a remote `llama.cpp` `/v1` endpoint |
+| Tools | `eino-ext/components/tool/mcp/officialmcp` over the official MCP Go SDK, Streamable HTTP |
+| Tool surface | The daemon's MCP tools. Nothing else. |
+| Entry | `agent/` |
+| Kill switch | `VESKSLOP_AGENT_ENABLED=1` is required. Default is off. |
+| Auth | `VESKSLOP_AGENT_TOKEN` bearer token on the task endpoint. |
+| Budget | `VESKSLOP_AGENT_MAX_STEPS` (default 16). Per-task wall clock: 5 minutes. |
+
+The harness receives tasks on `POST /task`. The daemon pushes them when `VESKSLOP_AGENT_ENABLED=1`
+is set: a trusted free-form message (no wakeword) becomes a task, and the harness returns the reply
+text. The daemon sends that text through the normal paced path, so the action log and the response
+policy still apply.
+
+**Respond-only mode.** The daemon sends `"mode": "respond"` in the task body. The harness must
+answer with one completion and no tool calls, and it must return `{"reply": "..."}` in the HTTP
+response. Tool calling waits for a later stage.
+
+| Variable | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `VESKSLOP_AGENT_ENABLED=1` | Turn the daemon-side push on. Default off. |
+| `VESKSLOP_AGENT_URL` | Harness base URL. Default `http://127.0.0.1:8790`. |
+| `VESKSLOP_AGENT_TOKEN` | Optional bearer token for `POST /task`. |
+| `VESKSLOP_AGENT_TIMEOUT_MS` | Request timeout. Default 120000. |
+
+The task body:
+
+```json
+{
+    "id": "trigger-id",
+    "guildId": "…",
+    "channelId": "…",
+    "author": "…",
+    "content": "the trigger text",
+    "sensitive": false,
+    "context": [{ "author": "…", "content": "…", "timestamp": "…" }]
+}
+```
+
+The model replies through the daemon's own send tools, so pacing, the rate limit, and the action
+log apply as for any other sender. The harness never calls Discord directly.
+
+## Safety rules
+
+- Tool results and message context are untrusted. The system prompt says so explicitly.
+- The harness is stateless per task. Context comes from the daemon each time.
+- The model cannot run fixed commands. It only has MCP tools.
+- Planned, not implemented: a tool allowlist, per-conversation serialization with
+  cancel-and-replace, delivery IDs for dedupe, and `RATE_LIMITED` backoff beyond one retry.
+
+## Remote agent path
+
+The daemon already exposes its tools over MCP (Streamable HTTP). Remote clients can:
+
+- read state (`get_voice_state`, `get_voice_overview`, `get_user_status`, `list_dms`, …)
+- notify (`send_dm`, `send_message`, `speak`)
+
+Planned work: a small notification tool set for external systems (`notify_owner`), a documented
+LAN or Tailscale bind, and optional shared-token auth on the MCP listener. The listener currently
+binds localhost.
+
+## Status
+
+Scaffold implemented in `agent/` and smoke-tested on 2026-09-14: it loaded 28 tools from the
+daemon, ran one ReAct tool round against a fake OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and produced the final
+message.
+
+The daemon side is in place (2026-09-22): the wakeword separates commands from chat, and
+`AgentClient` posts free-form tasks in respond-only mode. The Go harness still needs the
+respond-only `mode` branch and the reply response. The Go toolchain is not installed on the
+current host, so the harness change waits for it. Remote notification tools are still pending.
+
+## Run the scaffold
+
+```sh
+cd agent
+VESKSLOP_AGENT_ENABLED=1 \
+VESKSLOP_AGENT_LLAMA_URL=http://llama-host:8080/v1 \
+VESKSLOP_AGENT_MODEL=your-model \
+VESKSLOP_AGENT_MCP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8788/mcp \
+go run . --task "Who is in the call right now?"
+```
+
+Build a binary with `go build -o veskstop-agent .`. The Go toolchain is not part of the root
+`pnpm` workspace; run `go build` and `go vet` in `agent/` directly.

+# Media MCP surface
+
+The media archive is designed for agent access. The daemon exposes one service, and the MCP tools
+are thin wrappers around it. The same service backs the Web UI routes, so the two clients cannot
+drift.
+
+Status: implemented (C8). The tools are registered in `poc/src/control-bridge.ts`; read tools are
+also in `run_commands`. Advanced `query_media` filters (author, date, text) are planned; the index
+has the columns.
+
+## Service interface
+
+```ts
+interface MediaService {
+    startScrape(input: { channelId: string; mode: "links" | "download"; backend?: "auto" | "slopbot" | "puppet" }): Promise<ScrapeJob>;
+    getScrape(scrapeId: string): Promise<ScrapeJob | null>;
+    listScrapes(): Promise<ScrapeJob[]>;
+    stopScrape(scrapeId: string): Promise<ScrapeJob>;
+    deleteScrape(scrapeId: string): Promise<void>;
+    queryMedia(query: MediaQuery): Promise<{ items: MediaItem[]; nextCursor: string | null }>;
+    getMediaItem(id: string): Promise<MediaItem | null>;
+    storageStatus(): Promise<StorageStatus>;
+}
+```
+
+`MediaQuery` (implemented): `kind`, `source`, `scrapeId`, `channelId`, `authorIds`, `origin`
+(`guild`/`dm`), `cachedOnly`, `exts`, `excludeHosts`, `aspect`, `resolution`, `after`, `before`,
+`limit`, `offset`. The
+`aspect` and `resolution` values are the preset keys from `filter-presets.ts`; `after`/`before` are
+ISO times on `posted_at`. Planned: `guildId`, `text`.
+
+`StorageStatus`: `usedBytes`, `limitBytes`, `warnPercent`, `overrunPercent`, `byKind`,
+`scrapes: [{ id, bytes, state, createdAt }]`.
+
+## Tools
+
+| Tool | Access | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `scrape_media` | trusted | Start a scrape (`channelId`, `guildId?`, `mode?`, `backend?`, `downloadDir?`, `after?`, `before?`) |
+| `count_media_messages` | trusted | Discord search total for a channel or range (slopbot guild channels only) |
+| `list_media_scrapes` | trusted | Every scrape with state, size, and counts |
+| `get_media_scrape` | trusted | One scrape, live counters and cursor |
+| `stop_media_scrape` | trusted | Stop the active scrape |
+| `query_media` | trusted | Filter and page through media items |
+| `get_media_item` | trusted | One item with sources and local path |
+| `get_media_storage` | trusted | Usage against the limit, per-kind breakdown |
+| `delete_media_scrape` | admin | Delete a scrape and its files |
+
+Read tools are cache-only against `index.db` and the scrape registry. They never call Discord.
+`scrape_media` and `stop_media_scrape` drive the same job queue as the chat command, so pacing and
+the action log apply.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Every tool goes through the existing trust tiers. `delete_media_scrape` and `mode: "download"`
+  need `admin`.
+- Tool calls are written to the action log like any other daemon action.
+- The storage limit is enforced for the agent exactly as for the chat command: near the limit,
+  `scrape_media` returns the warning and needs a second call with `confirm: true`.
+- Media bytes are never returned inline. Tools return metadata, the original URL, and the local
+  path; an agent that wants the bytes reads the file through the daemon host.
+
+## Hooks to leave in place before C8
+
+1. `MediaService` is constructed once in the daemon and passed to both the Web UI routes and the
+   MCP registration. No globals.
+2. `ScrapeJob` and `MediaItem` are plain JSON-serializable objects, the same shape the Web UI
+   consumes.
+3. The job queue exposes `start`, `stop`, `list`, and `events` so MCP and the UI can subscribe to
+   the same stream.
+4. Storage accounting is a service method, not UI code, so the MCP limit check uses the same
+   numbers as the Settings bar.

+# Media scraper
+
+The scrape engine walks a channel's history and fills a per-scrape database. It is backend
+agnostic: slopbot for guild channels, the puppet's core bridge for everything including group DMs.
+See [slopbot.md](slopbot.md) and [core-bridge.md](core-bridge.md).
+
+## Backends
+
+Both backends implement one interface:
+
+```ts
+interface ScrapeBackend {
+    fetchPage(channelId: string, before: string | null, limit: number):
+        Promise<{ messages: RawMessage[]; rateLimited?: { retryAfterMs: number } }>;
+}
+```
+
+| Backend | Implementation |
+| --- | --- |
+| `slopbot` | discord.js REST (`channels.messages.fetch`), bucket-aware client |
+| `puppet` | The core action `message.fetch` over the bridge: the client's REST layer paginates (100/page, contiguous), with the client store as fallback. Expired URLs refresh with `before: id+1`, which returns exactly the target message |
+
+The daemon picks `slopbot` when the channel is a guild channel and slopbot is configured and in the
+guild; otherwise `puppet`. A scrape records the backend it used. The walk can resume on the same
+backend only.
+
+## Walk
+
+1. The command resolves the channel and creates a scrape directory.
+2. Newest to oldest: fetch `limit` messages before the cursor. The cursor is the oldest message ID
+   seen. A to-date sets the starting cursor; a from-date trims each page and ends the walk when the
+   boundary is crossed (`afterId`/`beforeId` in the meta).
+3. Extract media from each message and write the page to the database in one transaction.
+4. Persist `scrape.json` (cursor, counters, state) after every page.
+5. Stop when a page returns fewer than `limit` messages or the oldest message is reached.
+6. Resume after a daemon restart from the stored cursor.
+
+Rules:
+
+- One running scrape at a time. Further requests queue.
+- `stop` marks the job and lets the current page finish.
+- `resume` continues a paused scrape from its stored cursor, so an interrupted walk does not fetch
+  the pages it already has again. The History popup has **Resume** and **Delete** buttons and the
+  API a `POST /api/media/scrape/resume` route.
+- On daemon start, scrapes still marked `running` or `queued` on disk are stale (their job died
+  with the previous daemon). They are reconciled to `paused` so the UI tells the truth and Resume
+  can continue them.
+- Every page is an outbound read. Sends from commands keep their own pacing.
+
+## Pacing and backoff
+
+The engine is deliberately slower than normal reads. All values are configurable; defaults are
+starting points, not Discord facts.
+
+| Setting | Default |
+| --- | --- |
+| `media.pageMinMs` / `media.pageMaxMs` | 1200 / 3500 |
+| `media.pagesPerHour` | 300 |
+| `media.pagesPerDay` | 3000 |
+| `media.maxRetries` | 8 |
+
+- A random gap in the page window between pages.
+- A rolling budget per hour and per day. At the cap the job pauses and resumes when the window
+  resets.
+- On failure: use the backend's `retryAfterMs` when present, else exponential `2^attempt + 1`
+  seconds, matching DiscordChatExporter. After `maxRetries` the job pauses instead of looping.
+- DiscordChatExporter treats user-token limits more carefully than bot limits. The puppet backend
+  uses the slower schedule and the tighter budgets; slopbot can run faster and lets discord.js
+  handle buckets.
+
+## Classification
+
+The extractor maps one message to zero or more media items and returns their kind, source URL,
+provider, dimensions, duration when known, and size when known.
+
+- Attachments from `attachments[]`: extension and `contentType` decide image, gif, video, audio.
+- Embeds from `embeds[]`: `type` and `provider` decide. `video` embeds become kind `video` with
+  `downloaded = false`. Image and gif embeds become cached previews only.
+- Forwarded message snapshots are treated as messages with their own media.
+- Stickers become images or gifs.
+- Voice messages (`voiceMessage` flag) become audio.
+- Third-party embeds are never downloaded, by rule.
+
+## Database schema
+
+One SQLite file per scrape (`index.db`, `node:sqlite`).
+
+| Table | Columns |
+| --- | --- |
+| `messages` | `id`, `author_id`, `author_name`, `timestamp`, `content` |
+| `media` | `id`, `kind`, `source`, `author_id`, `author_name`, `posted_at`, `url`, `provider`, `title`, `title_key`, `title_error`, `file_hash`, `preview_hash`, `content_type`, `size`, `width`, `height`, `aspect_ratio`, `duration_secs`, `downloaded`, `file_path`, `created_at` |
+| `media_sources` | `media_id`, `message_id` |
+| `downloads` | `media_id`, `state`, `attempts`, `error` |
+
+`scrape.json` also records `fromDate`/`toDate`, and `estimatedMessages` from Discord search when the
+slopbot backend could ask for it (one request; null otherwise). Indexes: `kind`, `posted_at`, and
+`media_sources(message_id)`. The database is an index; the media
+folder holds bytes. Every item carries its poster (`author_id`, `author_name`), the post time
+(`posted_at`), and its dimensions (`width`, `height`, `aspect_ratio`). `youtube.com/shorts/<id>`
+links are stored as `watch?v=<id>` (extraction and a one-time `user_version` migration), because the
+embedded player and View full need the watch form; a shorts row that collides with an already
+indexed watch URL folds into it (preview/file fields merge, message links move over). Embed rows also store
+Discord's `title` (YouTube and friends) plus `title_key`, the lowercased, punctuation-collapsed
+form used by the title search: multi-word prefix tokens by default ("Ma Ca Ju" finds *Man who jumps
+over car*), one phrase with the exact-match toggle, and rows without a title drop out while a
+title query is set. `*` is a wildcard anywhere in a token: `*car` matches inside words (*scar*,
+*discard*), `c*r*` matches between letters, `car*` behaves like the plain prefix. Literal `%` and
+`_` are escaped, so they only match themselves. Filter presets live in
+`media-scrape/src/filter-presets.ts`: aspect buckets (vertical, square, 4:3, 16:9, 21:9, other) and
+resolution buckets by the shortest side (SD, HD, FHD, QHD, 4K+, unknown). A missing resolution is
+filled with `ffprobe` after a download when `VESKSLOP_FFPROBE` is available.
+
+## Downloads and previews
+
+Downloads run after a finished walk when the scrape used `mode: "download"`:
+
+- A serial queue, one file at a time, 1-3 s apart, with a size cap
+  (the **Scraping** settings, default 50 MiB) and 2 retries on network or 5xx errors.
+- `4xx` from the skip set (400, 401, 403, 404, 410) marks the URL expired; the row is not retried.
+- The file name is the SHA-256 of the bytes under `media/`. `file_path`, `file_hash`, and
+  `file_bytes` are written to the row, so the run resumes and dedupes by content.
+- Only attachment and sticker rows are targets. Embed rows are excluded in SQL
+  (`source != 'embed'`).
+- With a custom destination, files go to `<destination>/<scrape-id>/media/` and the row stores the
+  absolute path; without one they stay in `<scrape>/media/`. Embed previews are copied to
+  `<destination>/<scrape-id>/thumbnails/` while the local copy stays for the Media tab.
+- Downloaded videos get a poster frame (`ffmpeg -ss 0.5`, 480px WebP) cached in `thumbs/`, because
+  Discord serves no thumbnails for uploaded video files.
+- The ffprobe pass fills missing dimensions and `duration_secs` after a download. Attachment
+  durations come from Discord; the 0 that Discord sends for non-audio files is treated as unknown.
+- Progress counters: `downloaded`, `downloadErrors`.
+
+Previews cycle with the walk: after every **Preview every N walk pages** setting (default 5) pages
+the engine previews up to one batch (the **Backfilling** batch size, default 25), then keeps walking,
+so tiles fill in during a long walk instead of only at the end. Set the cycle to `0` to defer all
+previews to the end.
+
+Previews run after every walk:
+
+- In both modes, Discord-hosted image, GIF, and **video** URLs (`cdn.discordapp.com`,
+  `media.discordapp.net`) are transformed to the CDN resizer
+  (`media.discordapp.net?...width=320&height=320&format=webp`). The proxy renders a frame for
+  video files, so attachment mp4/webm get a cached poster in links mode without downloading the
+  file. Download mode additionally keeps an ffmpeg poster.
+- In both modes, embed rows also get their stored `preview_url` (YouTube, X, TikTok thumbnails,
+  and so on) cached. The embed's full media URL is never fetched; embed rows are excluded from
+  `pendingDownloads`.
+- Embeds without a thumbnail in Discord's data (fxtwitter, vxReddit, ...) are resolved first:
+  provider oEmbed/fxtwitter API, then the page's `og:image`/`twitter:image` (512 KiB read cap,
+  10 s timeout, one attempt). The page read never consumes media bytes: a non-HTML content type
+  stops it. An embed that unfurls a pasted Discord CDN attachment link resolves through the Discord
+  proxy instead, so it gets the same still (and video frame) as a plain attachment. Every
+  thumbnail-less embed enters preview passes; one with no resolvable image is closed as
+  `no preview source`.
+- Animated GIF previews are stored as a static first frame (`ffmpeg`, 480px WebP); the original
+  animated GIF URL stays in `preview_url` for hover playback. Tenor embeds without a thumbnail are
+  resolved through Tenor's oEmbed. An animated GIF over the size cap is framed by ffmpeg reading
+  the stream directly, so it is not lost to `too large`.
+- Audio attachments and voice messages get a waveform strip
+  (`ffmpeg -filter_complex showwavespic`) as their preview, rendered by ffmpeg from the URL.
+- Transient network failures are left pending for the next backfill pass; only skips (4xx, too
+  large, no source) are marked permanent.
+- One attempt per row, no retries; a permanent failure (`http 404`, `http 403`, `too large`) marks
+  `preview_error` and never fails the scrape.
+- Stored by hash in `thumbs/<sha256>.<ext>`, where the extension follows the response type
+  (`preview_ext`, default webp); `preview_hash` and `preview_bytes` land on the row, and the
+  counter is `previewed`. Previews count toward the storage limit.
+- The job stays `running` through the download and preview passes, so a client never sees `done`
+  on a half-archived scrape. A paused walk still gets these passes for the pages it collected.
+- The **backfill queue** (`media-scrape/src/backfill.ts`) fills in scrapes that paused or finished
+  before their previews were cached. It holds preview work only.
+- The **title catch-up lane** (`media-scrape/src/titles.ts`) resolves YouTube titles for rows
+  indexed before titles were stored. Titles normally arrive with the scrape, so this is a one-time
+  job with hard-coded pacing — 100 rows per batch, 10 s between batches — and it takes **no
+  media-traffic lock**, because every request goes to `youtube.com/oembed`, never Discord; it runs
+  beside walks and the preview queue. YouTube-like rows are those whose `provider` or URL matches
+  youtube/youtu.be. Failures count `title_attempts` and close out as `title_error` (deleted videos
+  stop rotating). The Bot tab shows the lane as its own card with pending/resolved/failed counts,
+  throughput, an ETA, and Start/Pause. One job per chat groups every paused, done, or failed scrape
+  of that chat, so a paused-and-resumed scrape stays in one job. Jobs run one at a time, in
+  batches, and report pending/cached/failed counts, per-kind pending, throughput, and an ETA. The
+  Bot tab drives them: **Start backfill**, per-job Start/Pause, and **Pause all**. Jobs with the
+  least pending work start first, so small chats clear instead of waiting behind a long one; a job
+  that is started but waiting for the queue reads `queued`. On daemon boot jobs start automatically
+  when the Backfilling setting **Start automatically on daemon boot** is on.
+- Transient fetch failures keep the row pending and count up `preview_attempts`. After the
+  **Tries before giving up** setting (default 3) the row is marked `unreachable after N attempt(s)`,
+  so dead hosts (Gfycat, Streamable) stop burning batches forever.
+- Preview gaps and batching live in the Bot tab settings (**Backfilling**): gap 200-600 ms, batches
+  of 25 with a 60 s cooldown between them, because bursts of thumbnail fetches trigger Discord and
+  provider rate limits. A batch counts rows, not successes.
+
+## Browsing performance
+
+Every grid request used to rescan every scrape database to merge URLs. `MediaService` now keeps a
+short-lived candidate cache: the key is a revision of the scrape metadata (id, state, update time,
+preview count) plus the normalized filter shape — page limits, offsets, and empty values are
+dropped, so every page of one filter set shares a single scan and later pages return in
+milliseconds. The 15 s TTL and the revision key cover new pages, finished scrapes, and freshly
+cached previews. The client only refetches stats when the filters change (or after a minute), and
+grid cards use lazy async decoding with CSS `content-visibility` so a long stream does not pay
+layout and paint for off-screen tiles.
+
+## Rate limits
+
+Discord and the provider APIs throttle bursts. The engine detects limiting and holds all media
+traffic:
+
+- A `429` from a preview or download fetch pauses the pass; the row stays pending (never marked as a
+  permanent error) and is retried later.
+- A walk page that fails with a `429` or a rate-limit message registers a cooldown, and every page
+  and preview waits it out before continuing.
+- The pause is the **Timers** setting **Rate-limit cooldown** (default 60 s), or the server's
+  `Retry-After` when it is longer. Detection is logged as `rate limit detected; pausing media traffic
+  until …`. The Bot tab banner reads `API timed out, increase timers` while media traffic is held.
+
+## Browsing cache
+
+Browsing never calls Discord. The grid renders cached previews or local files only; videos without
+a cached still show a labeled placeholder, and playback streams only when the user presses play.
+GIF hover plays the animated GIF cached in `thumbs/` (the original is kept alongside the static
+frame and referenced by `anim_hash`), never the provider, so scrolling cannot spam anyone.
+
+## Failure policy and recovery
+
+The archive never treats a transient HTTP answer as a dead link on the first try.
+
+- A preview or download that fails with an HTTP status on Discord's CDN is retried once with a
+  **refreshed URL** from the source message (the signed link expires in about a day). Only if the
+  refreshed fetch fails is the row parked.
+- Refreshing an embed canonicalizes both links: `play_url` gets the provider's direct media URL and
+  `url` falls back to it when Discord's `embed.url` is missing. Preview resolution for embeds uses
+  `play_url` first, so a refreshed file is never fetched through an expired `url`. This is what the
+  recovery task relies on.
+- Parked rows become **suspects**: they get one delayed retry (about 50 s). The retry runs after
+  the batch, not immediately. If a batch is two-thirds suspect failures, the cooldown doubles
+  (floor 60 s) and the retries run before the next batch.
+- A suspect whose delayed retry fails again is left **unverified**: it is skipped by later passes,
+  so a finished backfill never churns over genuinely unavailable media. The Bot tab shows suspects
+  and unverified counts per member, and the progress bar fills blue for cached, gray for pending,
+  and red for failed rows.
+- **Recover Discord previews** is a one-shot task in the Bot tab: it walks every scrape's
+  Discord-CDN rows closed with HTTP errors, refreshes each URL through the message (slopbot REST or
+  the puppet, whichever the scrape used), and fetches the preview again. It starts paused; when it
+  finishes it moves to the task history. The code stays for reuse.
+
+## Bot tab settings
+
+The Bot tab owns the tunables; they persist in `preferences.json` and apply to live jobs at once.
+
+| Group | Setting | Default |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Backfilling | Batch size (rows) | 25 |
+| Backfilling | Cooldown between batches (ms) | 60000 |

+| Scraping | Preview every N walk pages | 5 |
+| Scraping | Max file size (MiB) | 50 |
+| Scraping | Download gap min / max (ms) | 1000 / 3000 |
+| Scraping | Page fetch retries | 2 |
+| Timers | Walk page gap min / max (ms) | 1200 / 3500 |
+| Timers | Rate-limit cooldown (ms) | 60000 |
+
+The old `VESKSLOP_MEDIA_*` tuning variables are gone; the values above were their defaults.
+
+## Job states
+
+`queued`, `running`, `paused`, `stopping`, `done`, `failed`, `pending-delete`, `deleting`, `deleted`.
+
+Counters: pages, messages, media by kind, downloaded bytes, preview bytes, errors. The Media tab
+and the MCP `get_media_scrape` tool read the same fields.
+
+## Tests
+
+- Unit tests run against the mock core and a fake slopbot REST. No live Discord.
+- Fixtures cover each media kind, forwards, voice messages, expired URLs, and 429 backoff.
+- The live run is a private test guild first, then a real channel.
+
+## Checkpoints
+
+Implementation goals live in [CURRENT.md](../CURRENT.md). The engine is C3; slopbot is C4; daemon
+wiring (command, service, routes) is C5.

+# Media archive
+
+Status: design approved 2026-09-16. The engine, the slopbot backend, the `scrape media` command,
+the `/api/media/*` routes, storage limits with retention, the Settings group, the MCP tools, and
+the byte downloader are implemented (C3-C8, C10). The Media and Bot tabs are C6. Live-verified:
+
+- slopbot on the test channel: 17 messages (4 images, 13 videos), 0 errors.
+- slopbot on a larger channel: 11 pages, 1088 messages (96 images, 1 GIF, 203 videos), 0 errors.
+- puppet on a group DM and a 1:1 DM: done, 0 errors, backend `puppet`.
+
+Preview caching is implemented and live-verified (2 WebP thumbs served over the thumb route).
+Remaining: a 429 observation on a very large walk. Checkpoints live in [CURRENT.md](../CURRENT.md).
+
+The media archive saves the media history of a channel. A trusted user runs `scrape media` in the
+channel. The daemon walks the history through a scrape backend and indexes every image, GIF,
+video, and audio item into a per-scrape database. Two new Web UI tabs expose it: **Media** browses
+the archive, **Bot** controls slopbot and the storage settings.
+
+The feature lives in [`media-scrape/`](../media-scrape/README.md) and touches the daemon at three
+points: the Web UI route mount, the MCP tool registration, and the message shape in the core.
+
+## Command
+
+```
+@puppet scrape media            # index links (default)
+@puppet scrape media download   # also download attachment bytes
+@puppet scrape media status
+@puppet scrape media stop
+```
+
+- The target is the channel the command is sent in. Group DMs and guild channels work.
+- The command needs the `trusted` tier. `stop` and `download` needs `admin`.
+- `scrape media` with no argument re-runs the last scrape state; near the storage limit it turns
+  into the confirmation (see Retention).
+- The reply follows the response policy. The job runs in the background.
+
+## Backends
+
+The walk runs through one of two backends. The daemon picks automatically; a scrape can pin one.
+
+| | slopbot (bot account) | puppet (user account) |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Guild channels | Yes. Preferred. | Fallback when slopbot is not in the guild. |
+| Group DMs and DMs | **No.** Discord bots cannot see them. | Yes. The only option. Expired attachment URLs refresh through the core bridge (`message.fetch` around the ID). |
+| Transport | Official bot REST via discord.js | The validated core bridge (`message.fetch`) |
+| Rate limits | Documented, per-route buckets, handled by discord.js | Undocumented; daemon pacing and backoff |
+| Requires the Electron client | No | Yes |
+
+See [slopbot.md](slopbot.md) and [media-scraper.md](media-scraper.md).
+
+## Storage
+
+Runtime data lives under `media-scrape/db/`, ignored by git and configurable with
+`VESKSLOP_MEDIA_DB_DIR`. Each scrape is self-contained:
+
+```
+media-scrape/db/
+  <scrape-id>/                 # <channel-id>-<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>
+    scrape.json                # channel, guild, mode, state, cursor, counters
+    index.db                   # SQLite metadata index
+    media/                     # downloaded bytes, only in download mode
+      <sha256>.<ext>
+    thumbs/                    # cached Discord-hosted image previews
+      <sha256>.webp
+```
+
+- The database is an index. It holds the scrape state, the messages seen, the media items, and the
+  link between a media item and its source messages. Source channel, author, and timestamp are
+  indexed so filters can be added later without a re-scrape.
+- Scrapes stay self-contained, but the API and UI **deduplicate by URL across scrapes**: one card
+  per URL, the newest scrape wins; stats count unique URLs too. Re-scraping a channel does not
+  duplicate anything in the grid or the counters. (Files are still stored per scrape, so the
+  on-disk size doubles with overlapping scrapes; a shared content store is a possible later step.)
+- Storage uses `node:sqlite` (experimental in Node 22, prints a warning). If its API changes,
+  `better-sqlite3` is the fallback; it needs a native build, so that switch is an owner install.
+- The file name in `media/` is the SHA-256 of the bytes, never the original name. The original
+  name is metadata.
+- Deleting a scrape is deleting its directory. Nothing is shared between scrapes.
+
+## Index versus download
+
+- `links` is the default. The archive stores the Discord CDN URL and the metadata. Nothing large is
+  downloaded.
+- `download` fetches attachment bytes into `media/`, one file at a time, hash-addressed. Embed rows
+  are never download targets. The Media tab prefers the local file when one exists, so the archive
+  survives CDN URL expiry.
+- A custom download destination sends the bytes to `<dir>/<scrape-id>/media/` instead. Previews
+  stay local, and embed thumbnails are copied to `<dir>/<scrape-id>/thumbnails/` so the download
+  has a poster. Files in a custom destination are not served or linked by the Media tab; the user
+  owns that path.
+- Third-party embeds are **never downloaded as media**: YouTube, Instagram, X, TikTok, and every
+  other embed stays a link. Its thumbnail is cached (below); the video itself is never fetched.
+- Previews are cached in `thumbs/` after every walk, in both modes: Discord-hosted images, GIFs,
+  and video files (the proxy renders a frame, resized to 320px WebP), third-party embed thumbnails
+  (YouTube, X, TikTok, and so on), and audio, which gets a waveform strip so audio tiles are not
+  blank. The
+  stored bytes keep their real type (`preview_ext`), so JPEG provider thumbnails are served as
+  `image/jpeg`, not mislabeled WebP. Embeds without a thumbnail in Discord's data are resolved
+  through the provider's oEmbed/fxtwitter API and finally the page's `og:image`. Previews count
+  toward the storage limit.
+- The grid never renders an embed's page URL as media. A direct video file without a preview shows
+  a first-frame `<video>` only for playable containers (mp4, webm, m4v); anything else shows a
+  labeled placeholder, and a failed image falls back to that placeholder.
+- Every item carries the permanent Discord message link (`messageUrl`) derived from
+  `media_sources`; the viewer shows it (with a copy button) instead of the expiring CDN URL, and
+  "View full" streams through the daemon so the source is refreshed automatically.
+- Every item records who posted it, when, and its dimensions: `author_id`, `author_name`,
+  `posted_at`, `width`, `height`, and `aspect_ratio`. In `download` mode a missing resolution is
+  filled in with `ffprobe` after the file lands.
+- Discord attachment URLs are signed and expire in about a day. In `links` mode an expired URL is
+  refreshed by re-fetching its message; in `download` mode the bytes are caught before expiry.
+
+## Media classification
+
+| Kind | Sources |
+| --- | --- |
+| `image` | png, jpg, jpeg, webp, bmp, avif attachments; image embeds; stickers |
+| `gif` | gif attachments; gifv, Tenor, Giphy embeds |
+| `video` | mp4, webm, mov, mkv attachments; YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch clip, Streamable embeds; forwarded video |
+| `audio` | mp3, m4a, ogg, wav, flac attachments; Discord voice messages |
+
+## Retention and limits
+
+The storage limit covers everything under the DB root: databases, downloads, and previews.
+
+| Setting | Default | Meaning |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `media.limitBytes` | 30 GiB | Combined size limit |
+| `media.warnPercent` | 90 | Warn threshold |
+| `media.overrunPercent` | 5 | No-delete allowance above the limit |
+
+Behavior:
+
+1. At or above the warn threshold, a new `scrape media` command is refused and the reply shows the
+   usage. Re-running the same command within 2 minutes accepts. The API mirror is `confirm: true`
+   on `POST /api/media/scrape` (otherwise `409 MEDIA_LIMIT`).
+2. At or above 100% the oldest completed scrapes are marked `pending-delete`.
+3. Above limit + 5% overrun, marked scrapes are deleted oldest first until the usage fits.
+4. No data is deleted inside the 5% overrun band. The hover info (small `i` beside the limit field)
+   explains this.
+
+The planning is a pure function (`media-scrape/src/retention.ts`) with tests. Only `done`,
+`failed`, and `paused` scrapes are ever marked; a running scrape is untouched. Deletion removes the
+scrape directory and forgets it in the engine.
+
+**Clean media** in Settings lists exactly what will be deleted, with sizes and counts, and states
+that deletion is irreversible. The delete button is disabled for a 5 second countdown.
+
+## Web UI
+
+- **Media** tab: the bar carries the common filters — kind chips, source kind, server/DM origin,
+  and the multi-select People popover. The **Advanced search** drawer has aspect ratio, resolution,
+  source channel, posted-date range, file-type chips, cached-only, a default-on hide for 4chan
+  links (they 404 almost always), a sort select (newest, oldest, user, size, length), and a **Do not
+  include** and **Must include** groups with nested collapsibles, a title search for embed titles
+  (multi-word prefix matching with `*` wildcards, and an **Exact match (quotes)** toggle) for sources (the common
+  providers
+  in the archive plus embeds, attachments, and stickers), file types, size (with B/KB/MB/GB units),
+  and length (seconds), with **Apply filters** / **Reset** in the bar. Size and length ranges drop
+  rows with no known value. The bar and drawer show only on the Media tab.
+  Nothing renders until **Load media** is pressed. A **Metadata** dropdown toggles which fields
+  show in the small banner under each tile (User, Type, Date, Source, Resolution, Length). Video
+  tiles carry a translucent play icon top-right. Discord serves no thumbnails for uploaded videos,
+  so a video without a cached preview renders a first-frame `<video>` in the grid, and downloaded
+  videos get an ffmpeg poster cached in `thumbs/`. Clicking a tile opens a viewer: wide media
+  shows the metadata banner below, vertical media shows it to the right, and videos carry a large
+  play icon top-right. An embeddable item (YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Streamable) opens straight into
+  its player; other videos play a direct mp4/webm/m4v, and when neither is possible the play
+  action opens the external-site warning, since the page is the only way to watch. Playback and **View full** go through
+  `  /api/media/<scrape>/<item>/stream`, which serves the local file or re-fetches the source message
+  for a fresh signed URL, so expired CDN links still play. The grid prefers the cached still; a
+  video without one gets its first frame through the same-origin stream endpoint, which avoids
+  cross-origin blocking and URL expiry. Only real video-file URLs are framed; provider pages
+  (YouTube embeds, redirector URLs) are never, and the stream route answers `415` when the
+  upstream is not media — so a pending preview shows a placeholder instead of a browser error. Embed `videoUrl`s (gifv/Tenor mp4s) are stored as
+  `play_url` and used through the stream. The full link is a separate button that opens the
+  original page with the warning. Length comes from Discord's attachment duration and, for
+  downloads, an ffprobe probe. GIF tiles carry a translucent **GIF** label top-left; the cached
+  preview is a static frame and the animated GIF plays while hovering. The status row reads
+  `(Images/Videos) | Downloaded I/V | Cached I/V | Loaded I/V` — image counts include GIFs, and
+  each slot is the count for the active filters. A scrape strip shows live progress and polls every
+  4 seconds while the tab is open. It shows every queued/running job plus at most one paused scrape
+  (the newest not dismissed); **Stop** on a paused scrape only hides it here, so a new paused scrape
+  can take its place while the hidden one stays resumable. The strip text turns red and reads
+  `API limited, retry in Ns` while Discord throttles media traffic, and a translucent
+  `N scrapes completed` line appears when scrapes finish — it lives until the tab is reloaded. Each
+  row shows `X/Yp (~Z%)` when the search total is known. A flippy toggle switches the grid
+  between **Infinite** (the default stream) and **Page** mode. In page mode only one page of
+  `pageSize` items is shown; sorting/filters are deterministic, so the same filter plus page
+  number returns the same content later. The pager shows `Prev`, an editable page number,
+  ` / total`, and `Next`; scrolling to the bottom advances one page, but only after a 2 s cooldown
+  from the last load. The grid streams: appending a page inserts
+  only the new cards, so loaded images never rebuild or flash, and a stream **buffer** below the last
+  row keeps the scroll alive while the next page is in flight. The buffer is capped at 1.5 viewport
+  heights, shrinks as the filtered results run out, and says `Loading more…` / `Scroll for more` /
+  `End of results`; auto-fill cascades pages while the buffer is still in view, so a filter that
+  returns few items does not dead-stop at one page. At the very bottom while a page loads, an
+  elastic nudge replaces the hard stop. Media whose source answers `403` shows a **PRIVATE** tile
+  and `404`/`410` shows **GONE**, with the reason in the tooltip. Some channels deny the bot the search endpoint (`Missing Access`) even though history
+  reads work, so the total is optional.
+  **New scrape…** (rightmost) opens a popup with Server and Group chat trees (servers expand to
+  channels; each row has Links and Download). Every scrape button asks for confirmation; the
+  dialog takes optional From/To dates and a **Check Message Count** button (Discord search total,
+  slopbot guild channels only), and Download can target a custom absolute destination. **History** lists each scrape with its start
+  time, duration, pages, messages, media counts, bytes, files, and previews. The popups close on
+  backdrop click, X, or Close. Only active scrapes show in the strip; the view fills the window
+  below the header and the call strip. The Bot tab lists bot and scrape errors with a red badge
+  that disappears when the tab is opened and a Clear button.
+- **Bot** tab: slopbot connection state, the backfill queue, per-backend stats, and the tunables.
+  **Backfill** shows totals (pending, cached, failed, downloaded, stored bytes), an ETA at the
+  current settings, and a Bot/Puppet split of pending/cached/failed. A separate **Titles
+  (YouTube)** card tracks the one-time title catch-up: pending/resolved/failed, throughput, ETA,
+  and Start/Pause. It talks to YouTube only (hard-coded 100 per batch, 10 s between batches) and
+  runs beside the preview queue. One job card per chat lists its
+  member scrapes (paused and resumed scrapes of the same chat are combined), per-kind pending
+  counts, a cached/total progress bar, a measured ETA, and **Start**/**Pause**; the section header
+  carries **Start backfill** and **Pause all**. A red banner reads `API timed out, increase timers`
+  while a Discord cooldown holds the queue. **Settings** holds three collapsible groups —
+  Backfilling, Scraping, Timers — each with a Save button; values persist in `preferences.json` and
+  apply to live jobs immediately. The **Errors** list keeps the bot and scrape errors with the red
+  badge and Clear button.
+- Settings gains one collapsible group. Its name is **Bot** while the bot path is active, and
+  **Media** if the bot path is removed. It holds the storage limit field with the info tooltip, the
+  usage bar (segmented by image, GIF, video, audio, and other), and the clean button with its
+  5 second countdown. Pacing and batching knobs live in the Bot tab, not here.
+- Mobile is out of scope for now.
+
+## MCP
+
+The agent can query the archive and start scrapes with MCP tools. The hooks are designed in
+[media-mcp.md](media-mcp.md) and implemented at checkpoint C8.
+
+## Security
+
+- The command follows the existing trust rules and is written to the action log.
+- The slopbot token lives in the state dir or the environment, never in the repo. See
+  [slopbot.md](slopbot.md).
+- Media is served from disk only when the sniffed type matches the extension allowlist. Paths are
+  hashes, never user input.
+- The Web UI has no authentication. LAN or Tailscale only, as before.
+- This automates a user account. The account should be one the owner can afford to lose.

+# Slopbot
+
+Slopbot is the dedicated bot account for media scraping. It is separate from the puppet and from
+the Vesktop core. It uses the official Discord bot API through
+[discord.js](https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js) (Apache-2.0), the external core the feature
+is built on.
+
+## Why a bot
+
+For guild channels, a bot scrapes better than a user account:
+
+- The official bot REST API has documented, per-route rate limits. discord.js queues by bucket and
+  honors `429` automatically.
+- No Electron client, no Xvfb, no renderer round-trip. The walk continues while the puppet is
+  offline.
+- The bot token is a separate credential with its own lifecycle.
+
+Slopbot cannot scrape user DMs or group DMs. Discord does not expose them to bots. The puppet
+backend covers those, and covers guild channels where slopbot is not present. This split is a
+Discord fact, not a design choice.
+
+Slopbot is a real bot account. It is not a selfbot: the locked decision against selfbot protocol
+libraries stands.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Create an application in the Discord Developer Portal and add a bot.
+2. Enable the **Message Content** privileged intent. Without it Discord blanks `content`,
+   `attachments`, and `embeds` in both gateway events and REST history responses. Unverified apps
+   in under 100 servers can enable it in the portal.
+3. Invite the bot with the `bot` and `applications.commands` scopes and the minimum permissions:
+   View Channels and Read Message History. The bot never sends, so it needs no more.
+4. Store the token in the daemon state file `slopbot.json` (mode 600) or `VESKSLOP_SLOPBOT_TOKEN`.
+   Never commit it. The action log redacts token-shaped strings as before.
+
+Slopbot needs no slash commands: it is a scraping sensor, not a chat citizen. It never replies in
+channels.
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Setting | Default | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |

+- discord.js lives in `media-scrape/package.json`; the folder is its own pnpm workspace root.
+- The mapping is duck-typed, so the tests run without a token. The live Discord shapes were checked
+  against the discord.js 14 typings, but a real login is still owed at C8.
+- The Bot tab shows connection state, the guilds slopbot is in, the active scrape, and the queue.
+  It also renders the invite URL from the client ID.
+
+## Live check
+
+```sh
+cd poc

+  pnpm test:slopbot:live <channelId> [guildId]
+```
+
+The check logs in, prints the bot user and guild count, then fetches one history page and maps it.
+The token is read from the state file or the environment and is never printed. The bot must be
+invited to the guild first (View Channels + Read Message History).
+
+## Rate limits
+
+discord.js handles per-route buckets and retries `429` and `5xx` internally. The scrape engine adds
+its own budgets on top (see [media-scraper.md](media-scraper.md)): page gap, hourly and daily caps.
+Slopbot runs with the faster bot budget; the puppet backend uses the slower user budget.
+
+## Security
+
+- The bot token is a credential. It is redacted from logs, never committed, and loaded from the
+  state dir or the environment.
+- The bot gets minimum permissions and only the guilds the owner invites it to.
+- A guild channel the bot cannot see is a normal fallback to the puppet, not an error.
+
+## Status
+
+Backend implemented 2026-09-16 (C4), wired into the daemon at C5: `MediaService` logs the client in
+on the first scrape and picks it for guild channels it is in. A live login with a real token is owed
+at C9. Checkpoints: [CURRENT.md](../CURRENT.md).

+# Veskslop UI — Nocturne fidelity pass
+
+The shell (header, rail, call strip, composer, TTS box, console, right column)
+is faithful to the design. The drift is all in the layer added since: the Media
+archive and Bot tabs, plus a few spots in `style.css`.
+
+**Part two** (icons, settings, menus, dialogs, toasts) starts further down.
+
+## Install

+are new files. `media.css` and `icons.js` are your files with the changes
+applied — diff them, don't assume.
+
+---
+
+## The root cause
+
+Nocturne ships one accent and a neutral ramp. It has **no error / warning /
+success role and no categorical data scale.** So every feature that needed one
+invented its own: `#e5484d`, `#ffaa33`, `#44cc88`, `#ff5555`, `#ff8080`,
+`#c04040`, `#4f8cff`, `#8a6cff`, `#ff7a45`, `#2fbf71`, `#6b7280`, `#d29922`.
+Eighteen hexes, four different reds, none on the system's lightness scale.
+
+`tokens-status.css` fills that hole properly — danger, warn, ok and a five-step
+data scale, generated in OKLCH on Nocturne's **own** shared lightness scale, so
+step 400 of danger carries the same visual weight as step 400 of accent. Chroma
+stays low; the accent is still the loudest thing on screen.
+
+Everything else in this patch is downstream of having those tokens.
+
+---
+
+## What changed
+
+### 1. Colour
+
+- 18 hard-coded hexes replaced with tokens. Zero remain.
+- **Wrong-hue fallbacks removed.** `var(--color-accent-400, #4f8cff)` appeared
+  six times. `#4f8cff` is blue; Nocturne's accent is blurple `#9184d9`. Any time
+  that fallback fired — a load-order slip, a scoping mistake — the Media and Bot
+  tabs turned a different colour than the rest of the app. Silent, and hard to
+  spot because it only happens when something else is already broken.
+- The storage bar's five saturated hues become the low-chroma `--color-data-*`
+  family. Nocturne's rule is that contrast comes from the tonal ramps, not from
+  saturation; five alarm colours in a 10px bar broke it harder than anything
+  else on screen.
+- `--color-mention: #d29922` was declared in a stray second `:root` block 400
+  lines into `style.css`. It now lives with the other tokens as `--color-warn-400`.
+
+### 2. Floods
+
+Nocturne outlines; it does not fill.
+
+- `.vk-toggle-half.vk-toggle-on` was a solid `accent-400` panel with `#fff`
+  text — the one thing the guide names as a don't. Now tinted and outlined, the
+  same treatment `.vk-scope-btn.active` already uses.
+- `.vk-media-badge` was `#e5484d` with white text at 9px. Now a `danger-800`
+  tint with `danger-200` ink at 10px.
+- `.vk-bot-state-*` pills moved from alpha washes over saturated hues to deep
+  ramp fills with full-opacity ink — an alpha wash over an unknown backdrop is
+  how small text loses contrast without anyone noticing.
+
+### 3. Weight
+
+Nocturne heads cap at 500; hierarchy is size and space. Removed 11 instances of
+`font: 600` and `font-weight: 600` in `media.css`, plus `font-weight: 700` on
+the speaking state in `style.css`. That last one also **reflowed the row every
+time someone started or stopped talking** — the names jittered. Speaking now
+reads in `accent-200`, with the level meter beside it doing the loud work.
+
+### 4. Edges and radii
+
+`border: 1px solid` → the system's `inset 0 0 0 1px` edge, so elevation stays
+"hairline plus ambient darkness" rather than a drawn box. Literal `3px / 5px /
+6px / 7px` radii → `--radius-sm` / `--radius-md`. Six different corner radii
+were in play across the Bot tab.
+
+### 5. Focus
+
+`nocturne.css` sets a 2px accent `:focus-visible` ring, but every control built
+from a bare `<button>` that resets `background` and `border` loses it against
+its own surface. Explicitly restored on 18 controls: rail rows, guild marks,
+scope buttons, console tabs, chips, stars, mobile tabs, settings summaries,
+media links, tree heads, group titles. **This is the only keyboard path through
+the app** — worth checking by tabbing the whole thing once.
+
+### 6. Contrast
+
+- `.vk-media-done-note` was `color-mix(neutral-400 55%, transparent)` at 10px —
+  roughly 2.4:1. Now `neutral-500`.
+- `.vk-bot-history-entry` and friends: 10px mono at `neutral-500` sits just
+  under 4.5:1 on surface. Lifted one step to `neutral-400`.
+- **The offline state was the worst of it.** `opacity: .5` plus
+  `saturate(.6)` on the entire body and console pushed every label under 3:1 —
+  in the one state where you most need to read what is on screen and work out
+  what died. Now the chrome dims behind a scrim and the type stays legible.
+  Input is still blocked.
+
+### 7. Status marks that were saying the wrong thing
+
+- `.vk-dot.error` was `neutral-200` — a bright white dot, which reads as
+  healthy. Now `danger-400`.
+- `.vk-toast.error` and `.vk-toast.ok` differed only by one hue step of the same
+  near-white. Now genuinely different roles, plus a `warn` variant.
+- `.vk-presence.idle` and dnd both landed on `neutral-200`, so they were
+  indistinguishable. idle drops a step; dnd keeps the bright dot and gains the
+  bar that makes it readable without colour.
+
+### 8. Rules
+
+Nocturne's rules fade to transparent over 48px a side. The channel header does
+this; the settings panel's dozens of flat `inset 0 -1px 0` rules did not, which
+is most of why that panel reads as a different product bolted on. Now fading.
+
+---
+
+## Needs a small markup change
+
+The storage bar is colour-only. `media.css` now carries
+`.vk-media-usage-legend` / `.vk-media-usage-key` — render one key per segment
+beside the bar:
+
+```html
+<div class="vk-media-usage-legend">
+  <span class="vk-media-usage-key image"><i></i>images 4.1 GiB</span>
+  <span class="vk-media-usage-key gif"><i></i>gifs 0.8</span>
+  <span class="vk-media-usage-key video"><i></i>video 11.2</span>
+  <span class="vk-media-usage-key audio"><i></i>audio 0.3</span>
+  <span class="vk-media-usage-key"><i></i>other 0.1</span>
+</div>
+```
+
+Add `.over` to `.vk-media-usage` past the warn threshold.
+
+Also: `.vk-presence.dnd` now exists as a state. If `app.js` only emits
+`online` / `idle` / `offline`, dnd is still rendering as plain online.
+
+---
+
+## Not changed — worth a conversation
+
+**The Media and Bot tabs are a second application inside the shell.** They
+don't use the rail, the right column or the console; they take over the whole
+body with their own toolbar, their own grid, their own modals at their own
+z-index tier. The patch makes them *look* like the rest of the app. It doesn't
+make them *behave* like it. Worth deciding whether Media is a scope alongside
+Guild/DM — which is what the segmented control currently implies — or a separate
+surface that should stop pretending to be one.
+
+**Settings is carrying nine sections in one slide-over**, several of which
+(Flextalk voice profile, Bot audio, Speech) are deep enough to be their own
+screens. The `<details>` grouping is holding for now, but the voice profile
+panel already had to escape into its own draggable dialog, which is the usual
+sign.
+
+**`.vk-media-play` is a text glyph** (font-size 44px) where the rest of the app
+uses Phosphor. Small, but it is the only place an icon doesn't match.
+
+---
+
+# Part two — icons, settings, menus, dialogs
+
+## 9. Icons
+
+`icons.js` is replaced. The old set was drawn on a 16-unit grid at a fixed 1.3
+stroke; the new one is Phosphor geometry on Phosphor's 256 grid.
+
+- **Optical weight is now constant.** Stroke is computed per render size
+  (`1.35 / size * 256`), so a 44px icon and an 11px icon carry the same line.
+  Before, stroke scaled with the icon and large ones looked heavy.
+- **Round caps and joins throughout** — Phosphor regular's terminal, which the
+  old mic, camera and gear each handled differently.
+- **The gear, mic, camera, refresh and warning were redrawn.** The gear was a
+  circle with eight straight spokes; the mic was a rounded rect over an arc.
+  They read as icons now rather than as diagrams.
+- **19 icons added**: headphones / headphonesSlash (the listening and deafened
+  states, which had no mark of their own), screenshare, waveform, image, film,
+  audio, folder, pause, stop, check, plus, minus, dots, funnel, sliders,
+  download, copy, pencil, trash, pin, popout, info, error, ok, clock.
+- **Every old name still resolves** — aliases cover `microphone`, `deafen`,
+  `video`, `close`, `settings`, `tts`, `magnify` — so nothing needs editing.
+- Unknown names now warn in the console instead of rendering an empty `<svg>`.
+  That surfaced one already: `star` was used before it was defined, and worked
+  only because a later line patched it in.
+- `VK.hydrateIcons(root)` fills any empty `[data-icon]`; it skips anything
+  already rendered, so it won't fight `app.js`.
+
+If you would rather ship the real Phosphor package, swap the file for
+`@phosphor-icons/web` and keep `VK.icon` as a wrapper — the names are Phosphor's
+own, so the mapping is one to one.
+
+## 10. `polish.js` — what CSS can't reach
+
+Three text glyphs are doing an icon's job. This is a small idempotent pass with
+a MutationObserver, so it also catches the Media and Bot tabs rebuilding:
+
+- `<button id="scrape-x">X</button>` and its siblings → the `x` icon, plus
+  `aria-label="Close"`. There were several, in the scrape and clean modals.
+- `.vk-media-play`'s ▶ character at 44px → the `play` icon.
+- `.vk-info`'s `title` → `data-tip`, so the styled tooltip below is the only one
+  that fires, plus `aria-label` and `tabindex` so the help is reachable at all.
+
+No markup edits. If you'd rather fold these into the source, the script says
+exactly what to change.
+
+## 11. Settings, menus, dialogs, toasts
+
+`settings-popups.css`. Presentation only, no behaviour or markup changes.
+
+- **Scrim.** 55% flat wash → 72% of the page ground with a 3px blur. The page
+  behind was legible enough that the eye kept reading it.
+- **Panel.** Square left edge → `--radius-lg` on the leading corners, the
+  system's hairline, and a 200ms slide from the edge it is attached to.
+- **Head is sticky** and sits on a fading rule. Settings scrolls a long way;
+  the title used to leave.
+- **Section rows.** The card was a flat fill with rows running together. Now the
+  system edge, rows separated by rules that fade at both ends, values on
+  tabular numerals so they align down the column.
+- **`.vk-info` was an unstyled letter `i`** with its help text trapped in a
+  native tooltip — half a second of delay, no styling, invisible on touch. It is
+  now a 14px ringed mark with a themed tooltip. Eleven help strings were sitting
+  in `title` attributes where most people would never see them.
+- **Collapsible groups.** The summary was a bare uppercase line with nothing
+  saying it was a control. It is a row now — hover tint, turning caret, and the
+  body indented against a hairline so nesting is visible.
+- **Native controls.** Selects kept the platform arrow and a 1px border, numbers
+  kept their spinners, ranges kept the platform track. All three now use the
+  system's edge, accent thumb and focus ring. The select caret is a mask taking
+  `--color-neutral-400`, not a hex baked into a data URI.
+- **Menus** get the hairline, a 120ms entrance and an accent bar on the active
+  item instead of a tint with nothing anchoring it.
+- **Dialogs.** The voice-profile drawer was square-topped against the scrim and
+  the media modals had unrelated radii. Both on `--radius-lg` and the system
+  edge now; the profile drawer gains a grab handle, since its head was already
+  the drag target but nothing said so.
+- **Toasts** get an icon slot coloured by role from `tokens-status.css`.
+- All of it respects `prefers-reduced-motion`.
+
+## Worth doing next
+
+`.vk-status-value:has(> .vk-select)` carries the select caret. If a select ever
+ships outside a status row, wrap it in `.vk-select-wrap` — the rule is there.

+# Split user audio — investigation and plan
+
+Status: investigated 2026-09-22. Not implemented. Until this lands, STT runs on the full mixed
+stream.
+
+## What happens today
+
+The daemon does not see per-user audio. The client mixes every remote user before the audio leaves
+the browser.
+
+| Step | Where | Detail |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Playback | Vesktop renderer | Discord mixes the remote tracks. Per-user volume is applied before the mix. |
+| Routing | `poc/src/audio.ts` | `pactl move-sink-input` moves the client's playback streams into the `VeskslopCapture` sink. |
+| Capture | `poc/src/capture.ts` | `ffmpeg` records `VeskslopCapture.monitor` as raw PCM. One stream, all users. |
+| Split | `poc/src/vad.ts` | The VAD cuts the stream into utterances and writes one WAV each. |
+| Text | `poc/src/stt.ts`, `poc/src/transcript.ts` | STT turns each WAV into text when a provider is configured. |
+| Speaker | `poc/src/audio-service.ts` | `VOICE_SPEAKING` events give a best-effort speaker per segment. Overlaps and short segments can name the wrong user. |
+
+The core bridge (`src/renderer/puppet/actions.ts`) has no WebRTC hooks today. The only audio call
+is `navigator.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices()` for the device list.
+
+## Where per-user audio exists
+
+Each remote user arrives in the renderer as a WebRTC `MediaStreamTrack`. Discord attaches the
+tracks to an `RTCPeerConnection` and mixes them in an `AudioContext` graph. Per-user gain (the
+volume sliders) is a node on each track's path. The OS output receives only the mix.
+
+## Split options
+
+| Option | How | Cost |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Hook `RTCPeerConnection` | Wrap `ontrack` and `addEventListener("track")` before Discord's code runs, then keep every remote track | Straightforward to hook, but the track carries no user ID |
+| Hook `AudioContext` | Wrap `createMediaStreamSource` and `createGain`. Discord makes one source per user, so the graph shows the per-user split | Better mapping chance, but fragile against client updates |
+| Map by event order | Pair the first chunk after a `VOICE_SPEAKING` event with that user | Works with heavy traffic, mislabels overlaps |
+| Chromium capture | Use Electron audio capture of `webContents` | Gives the mix again, not per-user |
+
+Recommended path: hook `RTCPeerConnection` for the tracks, and hook `AudioContext` only to map a
+track to a user (the source node creation order matches the track order, and the per-user gain node
+sits next to it). Keep the event-order pairing as the fallback for unknown tracks.
+
+## Transport for per-user PCM
+
+The daemon needs one PCM stream per user. Two candidate shapes:
+
+1. **AudioWorklet, 16 kHz mono s16le, base64 frames over the bridge.** A 20 ms frame is 640 bytes,
+   about 1.3 KB in base64. Five users cost about 320 KB per minute. Low latency, more bridge
+   traffic, small renderer cost.
+2. **MediaRecorder per track, Opus chunks every second.** Lower traffic and less renderer CPU.
+   The daemon decodes each chunk with ffmpeg before the VAD. Higher latency, more daemon CPU.
+
+Recommendation: option 1. The bridge is a WebSocket with JSON frames already, and the daemon
+already runs ffmpeg for resampling. Add a binary frame type later when the volume grows.
+
+## Plan
+
+| Step | Work |
+| --- | --- |
+| M1 | Renderer hook lists remote tracks (`voice.tracks` action: track ID, stream ID, label). No audio yet. This proves the hook and the mapping. |
+| M2 | One track taps to an `AudioWorklet`, streams 16 kHz mono frames to the daemon, and the daemon writes a WAV. Loopback test only. |
+| M3 | Map track to user ID (`AudioContext` hook, or the `VOICE_SPEAKING` fallback). Per-user VAD and transcript rows with a real `speakerId`. |
+| M4 | The `split user audio` setting, per-user stop/start on join and leave, mute and deafen handling, and the mixed stream as the fallback. |
+
+## Setting
+
+`preferences.audio.splitUserAudio` (boolean, default false), shown in Settings → Browser audio as
+**split user audio**. When it is off, the mixed capture feeds STT as it does today. When it is on,
+the daemon asks the core for the tracks, STT runs per user, and the mixed capture stays only for
+the browser monitor.
+
+## Failure modes to handle
+
+- Discord updates can break the hooks. Gate the feature on a capability probe (`voice.tracks`
+  answers with a list) and fall back to the mixed stream.
+- Tracks appear and disappear during a call. Handle `track-added` and `track-ended` events.
+- Muted or deafened users can still produce a track with silence. The VAD must drop it.
+- The audio thread must never block. Copy in the worklet, send outside it.
+- The feature needs a CPU budget per user. Cap the number of split tracks and report the rest as
+  mixed.

+  syllable is not swallowed. The daemon adds it with `adelay` at playback; the engine's file is
+  unchanged. The status reports it as `ttsLeadMs`.
+
+### Per-user volume
+
+Discord stores a playback volume per user (0 to 200, default 100). **0 silences that user**, which
+silences the capture sink even though the stream is uncorked and at 100%: the client mixes the user
+at zero. Read it with `GET /api/voice/volume` (defaults to the current call) or the
+`get_user_volume` MCP tool; the `voice.get` member list and `get_voice_state` carry `volume` too.
+The response also carries the client's own `outputVolume`, which has the same effect when it is 0.
+
+Set it with `POST /api/voice/volume` or `set_user_volume`. The action goes through pacing and is
+written to the action log as `set-volume`.
+
+### Engines
+
+The Speech settings list every configured engine: **espeak-ng**, the command engine
+(`VESKSLOP_TTS_CMD`, shown as `VESKSLOP_TTS_NAME` or "custom engine"), and **HTTP API**
+(`VESKSLOP_TTS_API_URL`). Unavailable engines are disabled. Auto picks the command engine first,
+then espeak-ng, then the API.
+
+Selecting an engine switches the voice list to that engine. The language selector is hidden for
+single-language engines such as the command engine; their voices come from `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES`.
+The TTS panel carries the same engine and voice selects plus the speed and pitch sliders.
+
+**Start engine** in the Speech settings warms the selected engine by running one throwaway
+synthesis. For the command engine this starts Xvfb, Wine, and the engine host, so the first real
+line is fast. The result reports the elapsed milliseconds; espeak-ng and the HTTP API need no
+warm-up. The same action is available as `POST /api/audio/tts/warm` and the MCP
+`start_tts_engine` tool.
+
+### Voices
+
+The local engine is espeak-ng. `GET /api/audio/tts/voices` returns every base voice plus the
+espeak variants (`m1`–`m7`, `f1`–`f5`, `croak`, `whisper`) as `<voice>+<variant>`, so each language
+has roughly 15 voices. For natural voices, point `VESKSLOP_TTS_API_URL` at a network TTS (piper,
+OpenAI, ElevenLabs) and pick the `api` provider; `VESKSLOP_TTS_CMD` can also call any local engine
+that accepts `{out}`, `{text_file}`, and `{voice}`.
+
+When `VESKSLOP_TTS_CMD` is set, the daemon hides the espeak list and shows only the voices the
+command declares through `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES`. Entries are separated by commas or newlines and
+use `id`, `id|Name`, `id|Name|gender`, `id|Name|gender|language`, or
+`id|Name|gender|language|flags`, where flags are `+`-separated. Flags: `no-pitch` (hide the pitch
+control) and `expression` / `expression=NN` (Flextalk Expression parameter; NN is the registry
+default). The external-engine contract, including speed, pitch, expression, and voice metadata, is
+in [TTS-DESIGN.md](../TTS-DESIGN.md). The bundled engine integration lives in
+[`microslopsam/`](../microslopsam/README.md).
+
+### Speed, pitch, and expression
+
+The TTS panel has a speed slider (0.5x–2.0x, 1.0x is the engine's natural rate) with 0.5x, 0.75x,
+1x, 1.25x, and 1.5x preset buttons, and a pitch slider (-12 to +12 semitones, 0 is natural). Both
+hide for voices whose engine does not support them. Flextalk voices (Keith Bell, Kerry Watson)
+also expose an **Expression** slider (0–100) that changes the voice character; it appears only for
+those voices and defaults to the engine's registry value until moved. Values are stored in the
+daemon preferences and travel to the provider per line; the command provider also receives
+`VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED`, `VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH`, and `VESKSLOP_TTS_EXPRESSION`. Absent values mean
+"engine default". `/api/audio/speak` and the MCP `speak` tool accept `speed`, `pitch`, and
+`expression` overrides for a single line.
+
+### Flextalk voice profile (MicroslopSam)
+
+Voices flagged `expression=NN` are Flextalk voices and open the **Flextalk voice profile** window
+from the TTS panel:
+
+- **Voice character** - Pitch, Speaking rate, Prominences, Head size, and Lowering, each showing the
+  voice's engine default and snapping to it within +/-2 units, plus Expression. A value equal to
+  the default clears the override.
+- **Presets** - five named slots stored in `tts.profilePresets`; Save and Load copy the whole
+  profile.
+- **Radio kit** - high-pass (`tts.highpass`, 40-400 Hz, default 40), mono echo (`tts.echo`, 0-100,
+  default 0), and word mode (`tts.words`) with a gap in ms (`tts.wordGapMs`) for the radio/robot
+  character. **VOX prosody** (`tts.vox`) routes the line through the NetTTS-style encoder first -
+  sentence breaks, lead-ins, weighted pauses, and Flextalk vendor tags - for Black Mesa
+  announcement energy; **clean** (`tts.voxClean`) drops the staccato wrapper. Word mode **combines
+  with the presets** and takes precedence over VOX prosody: each word is its own engine instance,
+  so the parser is skipped and the vendor tags go on every word (`\!R` rate, `\!%` pitch). VOX
+  needs `python3` on the host. Both travel to the command provider as
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX_CLEAN` (or the `{vox}` / `{vox_clean}` placeholders).
+  A **crunch** stage adds the lossy 1990s codec character as its own step **after** the rest of the
+  chain (echo tails included): `tts.crunch` presets `hl90` (8-bit, 11 kHz), `hl90hq` (8-bit,
+  22 kHz), `telephone` (8 kHz band-limited), `adpcm` (4-bit) and `crush` (custom), with optional
+  `tts.crunchBits` (1-16) and `tts.crunchRate` (4-48 kHz) overrides. The output stays 48 kHz
+  s16le, so only the character changes. Echo gained `tts.echoDelayMs` (10-400) and
+  `tts.echoLevel` (0-0.95) alongside the amount. **Stream word mode** (`tts.streamWords`, on by
+  default) makes the wrapper write the WAV while it synthesizes, so playback starts on the first
+  word: measured first sound 0.5 s instead of 2.4 s on a ten-word line. The wrapper touches
+  `<file>.ready` after the first word and the daemon waits for that before starting playback, so a
+  player never opens the bare WAV header and exits before the words arrive. Streaming skips the
+  loudness measurement (`VESKSLOP_TTS_STREAM_GAIN_DB` compensates if needed) and cannot use VOX
+  prosody, which needs the whole sentence.
+  The Half-Life voices are first-class entries in the voice list: **VOX (Half-Life)** and **HEV
+  suit** are Keith Bell with the corresponding profile preset, and VOX carries its prosody with it
+  (so no separate prosody toggle). Selecting the VOX voice shows its **clean (no stutter)** option
+  in the profile area. The underlying `tts.preset` / `vox` / `voxClean` values remain available to
+  the API and MCP; precedence is preset < profile < expression, so the sliders still win. The wrapper writes the audible profile to
+  both registry hives (plus the preset's Gender/Line Mode and a Default Speaker pointer), and for
+  Flextalk it sends rate/pitch as the sticky `\!R` / `\!%` vendor tags rather than
+  `ITTSAttributes`; attributes only apply to MSTTS voices. Neutral sliders emit neither, so the
+  preset is reproduced exactly. The daemon always exports `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX` (0 or 1) so an
+  explicit off is honored, and the panel lets a preset, VOX, and word mode be combined.
+  `sh microslopsam/setup/test-wrapper.sh` checks this contract with stubbed wine and engine
+  binaries, no Wine install needed. The preset values also show up in the
+  voice metadata defaults, so the panel's "default" snap points match what the engine gets.
+- **Test lines** - Attention, Laboratory, Critical, Health, and Radiation, plus two custom lines
+  kept in `localStorage`. Each button speaks the line with the current profile, so a change can be
+  auditioned without touching the real queue.
+
+The window is movable and recenters every time it opens, so it cannot be lost off screen. Changed
+profile keys travel as `profile` (with `highpass`, `echo`, `words`, `wordGapMs`, `vox`, and
+`voxClean`) to the command provider, which exports `VESKSLOP_TTS_PROFILE`, `VESKSLOP_TTS_HIGHPASS`,
+`VESKSLOP_TTS_ECHO`, `VESKSLOP_TTS_WORDS`, `VESKSLOP_TTS_WORD_GAP_MS`, `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX`, and
+`VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX_CLEAN`. The wrapper contract and the registry
+pitfalls (`wine reg import`; never `echo` for the `.reg` key path) are in
+[TTS-DESIGN.md](../TTS-DESIGN.md).
 
 ### Browser monitor (Client audio)
 
 The header **Client audio** button streams the call to the browser:
 
+- The daemon moves the client's playback streams into `veskslop_capture` (match on
+  `application.name` / `application.process.binary`, default `vesktop,electron,chromium,discord`,
+  `VESKSLOP_AUDIO_CLIENT_MATCH` overrides). Without the move the capture sink is silent. The adopt
+  pass runs when devices are set up, when the monitor starts, and every 5 seconds while the monitor
+  or the capture session runs.
 - The daemon reads `veskslop_capture.monitor` with `ffmpeg` and sends raw 48 kHz mono PCM over
   the WebSocket at `/audio`.
 - The browser plays the PCM with the Web Audio API and can send it to a chosen output device.
 - This is separate from the bot's microphone and TTS. Nothing the browser plays affects the call.
+- Diagnose with `cd poc && pnpm audio:doctor`. It prints the default sink, the sink inputs and their

+  popover. The **Advanced search** drawer holds aspect ratio, resolution, source channel,

+  **Must include** requires them (same provider list and kinds, file-type chips, and size/length
+  bounds with B/KB/MB/GB units or seconds). A provider entry may carry several substrings, shown as

+- A **Card size** slider scales tiles from two-thirds of the old size up to one image per row; the

+  appends only its new cards (no image flash) and a buffer below the last row, capped at 1.5
+  viewport heights, keeps the scroll alive while the next page loads. Auto-fill runs while the
+  buffer is on screen, so short filtered pages never dead-stop; the note reads `Loading more…`,
+  `Scroll for more`, or `End of results`, and an elastic nudge replaces the hard stop at the bottom
+  while loading. The next page's JSON and previews are preloaded just before they are needed.
+  **New scrape…** opens a popup with **Server** and **Group chat**
+  tabs: servers expand into their text channels, each channel (and each group chat) has

+  throttles, and a translucent `N scrapes completed` note appears as scrapes finish and clears when

+# media-scrape
+
+The media archive feature. Contained here on purpose: the daemon mounts it, but the logic does not
+spread through `poc/src/`.
+
+## Layout
+
+```
+media-scrape/
+  README.md          this file
+  src/               scrape engine, store, extractor, Web UI routes, MCP tools
+  slopbot/           the bot core (discord.js backend)
+  test/              unit tests against the mock core and a fake bot REST
+  db/                runtime data, ignored by git
+```
+
+`db/` holds one directory per scrape: `scrape.json`, `index.db`, `media/`, `thumbs/`. It is
+configurable with `VESKSLOP_MEDIA_DB_DIR` and never committed. See
+[../docs/media.md](../docs/media.md).
+
+The daemon imports this folder. `media-scrape/` is its own pnpm workspace root (like `poc/`), so
+`discord.js` is declared in `media-scrape/package.json` and resolves from `media-scrape/node_modules`.
+
+## Docs

+# MicroslopSam
+
+Run SAPI4 text-to-speech voices on Linux.
+
+Primary approach: a **Winelib host** — a native Linux ELF that uses Wine's
+libraries to load the original 32-bit SAPI4 runtime and TTS engine DLLs.
+
+Voice targets:
+
+- Microsoft Sam / Mary / Mike — MSTTS engine (`msttssyn.dll` + `.vce` data)
+- AT&T Flextalk 2.1 — "Keith Bell" and "Kerry Watson" (`FlexTalk.dll`)
+
+Long-term: replace Wine-provided pieces with own shims (rehost) for a
+pure-native build, and keep a path to a fully portable engine.
+
+## Status (working)
+
+- Winelib host builds and runs: `build/sapi4host.exe` (launcher) +
+  `build/sapi4host.exe.so` (native 32-bit ELF).
+- Voices enumerate and synthesize:
+  - MSTTS: Sam, Mary, Mike (+ telephone and effect variants)
+  - AT&T Flextalk: Keith Bell, Kerry Watson
+- Test output: `build/test_sam.wav` (22.05 kHz), `build/test_Keith_Bell.wav`,
+  `build/test_Kerry_Watson.wav` (11.025 kHz).
+
+## Build
+
+Everything in one command (idempotent; sudo only for system packages):
+
+    setup/install.sh
+
+Manual steps, if needed:
+
+    sudo setup/install-deps.sh     # Wine/Winelib/helpers
+    setup/setup-prefix.sh          # prefix + SAPI4 runtime + MSTTS voices
+    setup/setup-flextalk.sh        # Flextalk extraction + registry
+    # host build:
+    winegcc -m32 -O2 -o build/sapi4host-winlib host/sapi4host.c -Ithird_party \
+        -lole32 -luser32 -ladvapi32
+    i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -O2 -static -o build/sapi4host.exe host/sapi4host.c \
+        -Ithird_party -lole32 -luser32 -ladvapi32 -luuid
+
+## Configuration
+
+`setup/install.sh` writes `setup/microslopsam.env` (generated, gitignored) with absolute
+paths. Environment variables take precedence over the file, so anything can be relocated
+without editing scripts:
+
+| Variable | Default | Meaning |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `MICROSLOP_ROOT` | repo root | project root |
+| `MICROSLOP_BUILD` | `$MICROSLOP_ROOT/build` | host binaries, samples |
+| `MICROSLOP_PREFIX` | `~/.wine-microslopsam` | wine prefix (exported as `WINEPREFIX`) |
+| `MICROSLOP_ASSETS` | `third_party/sapi4` | SAPI4/MSTTS payloads (vendored) |
+| `MICROSLOP_FLEXTALK_DIR` | `third_party/flextalk` | Flextalk cabinet/extraction (vendored) |
+| `MICROSLOP_SPEECH_H_DIR` | `$MICROSLOP_ROOT/third_party` | `speech.h` include dir (vendored) |
+| `MICROSLOP_DISPLAY` | `:77` | Xvfb display used for Wine |
+| `MICROSLOP_WINE`, `MICROSLOP_XVFB`, `MICROSLOP_PYTHON`, `MICROSLOP_FFMPEG` | tool names | tool overrides |
+
+Refresh the file after moving the tree: `MICROSLOP_UPDATE_ENV=1 setup/install.sh`.
+
+## Usage
+
+    setup/run.sh -l
+    setup/run.sh -v Sam -t "Hello." -o sam.wav
+    setup/run.sh -v "Keith Bell" -t "Hello." -o keith.wav -p 100 -s 150
+
+Options: `-v` voice, `-t` text, `-o` output WAV, `-p` pitch, `-s` speed, `-V` volume
+(volume is engine-specific; not used by the Veskslop wrapper).
+
+## Veskslop integration
+
+    export VESKSLOP_TTS_CMD="$PWD/setup/veskslop-tts.sh {out} {text_file}"
+    export VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES="$(setup/veskslop-tts.sh --voices)"
+
+The wrapper maps voice IDs (`sam`, `mary`, `mike`, `keith-bell`, `kerry-watson`, `vox`,
+`hev`, plus the MSTTS variants), reads `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICE`, `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED` (multiplier),
+`VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH` (semitones) and `VESKSLOP_TTS_EXPRESSION` (0-100, Flextalk voices
+only), starts Xvfb when `DISPLAY` is unset, and writes a 48 kHz mono s16le WAV trimmed,
+faded and normalized to about -16 LUFS (-3 dBFS true peak).
+Speed and pitch apply to every voice (Flextalk's numeric settings must be `REG_DWORD`,
+which the setup script writes). Expression is a Flextalk profile value applied at voice
+load: the wrapper writes it to the Wine registry before synthesis. `--voices` marks those
+voices with `expression=NN`, where NN is the registry default. Mapping details are in
+`docs/TTS-DESIGN.md`.
+
+**VOX prosody** (NetTTS-style, Flextalk voices): set `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX=1` in the
+command environment (`VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX_CLEAN=1` omits the `\!wH1/\!wH0` stutter
+wrapper). Line-leading `/rate N` and `/pitch N` controls are also handled by the
+wrapper, so the WebUI does not need to implement them. See `docs/TTS-DESIGN.md`.
+
+A short low-level leading hum (80 ms, 75 Hz, -48 dBFS) primes Discord's audio pipeline
+so the first word is not gated; tune with `VESKSLOP_TTS_HUM_MS` (0 = off),
+`VESKSLOP_TTS_HUM_HZ`, and `VESKSLOP_TTS_HUM_DB`.
+
+**Half-Life presets** (Keith Bell): `VESKSLOP_TTS_PRESET=vox` applies the approximated
+Valve VOX profile and enables VOX prosody; `VESKSLOP_TTS_PRESET=hev` is a starting point
+for the HEV suit voice. The `vox` and `hev` voice IDs select these directly. Values are in
+`docs/TTS-DESIGN.md`.
+
+`VESKSLOP_TTS_CRUNCH` (`hl90`, `hl90hq`, `telephone`, `adpcm`, `crush`) adds 1990s lossy
+character to the output; `VESKSLOP_TTS_CRUNCH_BITS`/`_RATE` override its bit depth and
+sample rate. `VESKSLOP_TTS_STREAM=1` makes word mode write the WAV as it goes (no
+measurement pass; `VESKSLOP_TTS_STREAM_GAIN_DB` sets the gain). Echo timing and level are
+`VESKSLOP_TTS_ECHO_DELAY_MS` and `VESKSLOP_TTS_ECHO_LEVEL`.
+
+## Layout
+
+- `host/sapi4host.c` — host: voice select, pitch/speed, text -> WAV
+- `setup/install.sh` — one-shot installer (runs all steps below)
+- `setup/install-deps.sh` — Wine/Winelib/helpers (root)
+- `setup/setup-prefix.sh` — prefix + SAPI4 runtime + MSTTS engine/voices
+- `setup/setup-flextalk.sh` — Flextalk files + registry
+- `setup/inf2reg.py` — INF AddReg -> `.reg` converter
+- `setup/run.sh` — run helper (prefix + Xvfb)
+- `setup/veskslop-tts.sh` — Veskslop command-provider wrapper (post-processing included)
+- `setup/test-wrapper.sh` — wrapper regression test (stubbed Wine/host, no prefix needed)
+- `setup/vox_parser.py` — NetTTS-style VOX prosody encoder (Flextalk voices)
+- `tools/vox_compare.py` — reference-vs-synthesis metrics for preset tuning
+- `docs/NOTES.md` — registry/CLSID facts, runtime RE notes, gotchas
+- `docs/TTS-DESIGN.md` — integration contract with Veskslop plus engine clarifications
+
+## Known issues
+
+- `xvfb-run` is flaky on this host. `setup/run.sh` starts a persistent Xvfb
+  (`:77`) instead; Wine needs a working X display because the runtime creates
+  windows.
+- Flextalk numeric speaker settings must be `REG_DWORD` (the installer script handles
+  this); `REG_SZ` values cause a monotone buzz. Pitch and speed work on all voices.
+- Flextalk extraction needs `unshield -O` (old compression). The installer is
+  single-volume: the new decompressor reports a phantom `data2.cab`, but `-O` extracts
+  all 450 entries with exact sizes and valid PE files (the original 1997 upload log lists
+  `data1.cab` only).
+
+## Reference material
+
+- `third_party/` — vendored dependencies; see `third_party/README.md`. Everything the
+  tool needs is in the repo (SAPI4 runtime, MSTTS voices, Flextalk cabinet, `speech.h`,
+  NetTTS parser source).

+# Scope
+
+## Goals
+
+1. Synthesize speech with the MSTTS voices (Sam, Mary, Mike) on Linux.
+2. Synthesize speech with the AT&T Flextalk 2.1 voices ("Keith Bell",
+   "Kerry Watson") on Linux, through the same host.
+3. Ship as a native Linux binary (Winelib first, pure-native later).
+4. Keep the engine contract limited to what `speech.h` defines, so other
+   SAPI4 engines can be added without host changes.
+5. Text in, WAV out. Pitch and speed adjustable.
+
+## Approach
+
+- Phase 1 (current): Winelib host + Wine-provided runtime. Fastest path to
+  working audio, and it doubles as the reference oracle for later work.
+- Phase 2: replace Wine-provided parts with own shims one at a time
+  (file I/O, threads, OLE2, window/message pump, finally MSVC EH/SEH).
+- Phase 3: pure-native rehost of `msttssyn.dll`; no Wine libraries.
+
+## Non-goals (for now)
+
+- GUI, SAPI4 telephony (`spchtel.dll`), Voice Command (`vcmd`), Agent support.
+- TruVoice voices (possible later; same L&H engine family).
+- 64-bit build (the engines are 32-bit).
+- Multi-platform audio (PipeWire/ALSA output comes after WAV works).

+- Engine value: `HKLM\Software\Voice\TextToSpeech\Engine`
+  `"AT&T FlexTalk" = "{FFE78E00-C69C-11CE-AEC1-0000C0E9CB87}"`
+- Engine subkey (forces mode enumeration): `...\Engine\{FFE78E00-...}` with
+  `Dirty = 1` (REG_DWORD). The runtime rewrites `Count` + `Mode0..N` and
+  clears `Dirty` after enumerating.
+- `HKCR\CLSID\{FFE78E00-C69C-11CE-AEC1-0000C0E9CB87}\InprocServer32` =
+  `<root>\EngineDLLs\FlexTalk.dll`, `ThreadingModel = Apartment`.
+  Also registered: `{778EAAE2-499F-11CF-B0BA-444553540000}` -> same DLL.
+- Directories: `HKLM\Software\AT&T\Watson\2.0\FlexTalk\2.0\Directories`

+- Dictionaries: `...\FlexTalk\2.0\Dictionaries`:

+  `HomographDictionary="1 ft_hgrap.dll"`, `ProperNameDictionary="3 ft_namsa.dll"`,
+  `LetterToSoundDictionary="4 ft_l2s.dll"`.
+- Options: `...\FlexTalk\2.0\Options` `Gender=Male`, `SampleRate=11025`.
+- Speakers (per-voice settings; names come from these values). **All numeric
+  values must be REG_DWORD**: with REG_SZ the engine reads garbage and
+  synthesizes a monotone buzz (pitch fixed at max, pitch control dead).
+  - `{11260610-C84A-11ce-AEC4-0000C0E9CB87}`: Mode Name / Speaker Name
+    "Keith Bell", Pitch 27, Speaking Rate 33, Head Size 46, Expression 59,

+    Speaking Rate 32, Head Size 45, Expression 100, Lowering 40,
+    Prominences 17, Age 30, Volume 100.
+- Voice data: `EngineData\AE1M08LC.*`, `AE1M11LC.*` (male, 8/11 kHz) and
+  `AE2F08LC.*`, `AE2F11LC.*` (female); `.INV` inventory, `.NDX` index,
+  `.COD` codebook, plus shared `DICT_CI.*`, `phondef`, `AMPRULES`, `ENDINGS`.
+
+Extraction: `unshield -O -d extracted x installer/flextalk/data1.cab`
+(`-O` = old compression). The package is single-volume: the original 1997 upload log
+(`WS_FTP.LOG`) lists `data1.cab` only, and `-O` extracts all 450 entries with exact
+sizes. Without `-O`, unshield's new decompressor reports a phantom "volume 2" and fails
+on `MSVCRT.DLL` / `WatsonUNInstall.dll`; with `-O` both are complete, valid PE files.
+
+The `.ENV` files the engine probes (`ae1m11lc.ENV`) were never shipped; synthesis works
+without them.
+
+## Latency and output shape (measured 2026-09-16)
+
+- Warm wrapper time: ~410-425 ms per short line (engine call 190-220 ms, ffmpeg measure
+  ~110 ms, apply ~90 ms, profile write ~57 ms when it runs). First (cold) call ~730 ms.
+- The Flextalk profile write is cached per voice in the Wine prefix
+  (`~/.wine-microslopsam/.microslopsam-profile<GUID>.reg`): unchanged profiles skip
+  `wine reg import`. Recreating the prefix invalidates the cache.
+- Fades: the 8 ms fade-in/out is applied to the trimmed file whose 25-30 ms padding
+  silence is retained, so it shapes silence, not speech. Measured head: first sample
+  >30 at 22.6 ms, speech (>500) at 29.6 ms, natural ~15 ms attack; tail decays over
+  ~18 ms. No click, no attenuation of the first word.
+- Leading hum (default on): 80 ms of 75 Hz at -48 dBFS peak before the engine padding,
+  to prime Discord's pipeline. Verified 75.0 Hz / -48.0 dBFS, speech onset ~110 ms,
+  final -18.6 LUFS / -3.0 dBFS, apply pass +~10 ms. `VESKSLOP_TTS_HUM_MS=0` disables and
+  reproduces the previous output byte-for-byte. Tuning: `_HUM_HZ` (30-200), `_HUM_DB`
+  (-80..-6; raise toward -36 if a client still gates the start).
+  The hum bypasses the high-pass/trim chain, so `VESKSLOP_TTS_HIGHPASS` (up to 400 Hz)
+  cannot remove it (verified at 200 and 400 Hz).
+
+## SAPI4 runtime engine discovery (`speech.dll`)
+
+- `FUN_635747a4` reads `HKLM\Software\Voice\TextToSpeech\Engine` values
+  (value name = engine name, data = CLSID string), validates the GUID with
+  `FUN_635712e4`, then opens a *subkey named by the CLSID string*.
+- `FUN_635758b1` (TTS mode-list ctor) reads `Dirty`; when non-zero/missing it
+  calls `CoCreateInstance(CLSID, ..., IID @635791c0)` and pulls modes via
+  vtable+0xC into 0xaf0-byte records, writes `Mode%d` (REG_BINARY), `Count`,
+  then clears `Dirty`. When `Dirty=0` it reads the cached `Mode%d` blobs.
+- Practical rule: to add an engine, register the `Engine` value + the CLSID
+  `InprocServer32` + an engine subkey with `Dirty=1` (a missing subkey also
+  triggers enumeration).
+
+## Environment gotchas
+
+- Wine needs a working X display (the runtime creates windows). `xvfb-run -a`
+  proved flaky here; `setup/run.sh` starts a persistent `Xvfb :77` instead.
+- Wine reports `err:ole:apartment_add_dll couldn't load in-process dll` when
+  the `InprocServer32` path does not exist. Check the file copy first
+  (this bit us: a bad `unshield` run created empty directories).
+- Generate registry `.reg` files with `printf`, never `echo`: dash's `echo`
+  interprets `\2` in `...\Watson\2.0\...` as 0x02, corrupting the key so that
+  `wine reg import` is a silent no-op (it still returns 0). The wrapper rejects
+  a generated profile containing control characters.
+- 32-bit engines require a 32-bit prefix (`WINEARCH=win32`).
+- `sudo` on this machine requires a password; installs are manual.
+
+## Engine units (measured)
+
+- speed: MSTTS range 30-450, Flextalk 50-390; the natural rate is about 150 for every
+  voice (duration at 100/200/300 fits a natural value near 140-150).
+- pitch: engine units, roughly linear in F0 near the natural point (~1.1 Hz per unit).
+  Natural values: about 100 (MSTTS), 106 (Keith Bell), 186 (Kerry Watson); Flextalk max 250.
+  Verified with the corrected DWORD registry: Kerry 0 st = 209 Hz, -6 st = 148 Hz,
+  +6 st = 250 Hz (clamped at max); Keith 0 st = 119 Hz, +6 st = 170 Hz.
+- The wrapper maps semitones as `natural * 2^(st/12)` and clamps to the range.
+- volume: available through `ITTSAttributes` (host flag `-V`). Flextalk is linear
+  (0-65535, default 65535; half is about -6 dB). MSTTS is non-linear (0 = silence,
+  4096 about -24 dB, 65535+ full scale); treat it as on/off.
+- Flextalk per-speaker profile values are applied at voice load; `Expression` was
+  verified audible (0/59/100 produce different waveforms at equal duration). Changing
+  them requires a registry edit and re-selecting the voice.
+
+## VOX parser
+
+- `setup/vox_parser.py` reimplements the NetTTS VOX prosody encoder (vendor tags
+  `\!wH1/\!wH0`, `\!br`, `\!sfNN`); the host already passes `TTSDATAFLAG_TAGGED`, so
+  the engine honors them.
+- Validation: the reference `vox_parser.cpp` from a local clone of
+  `h4rm0n1c/NetTTS` was compiled with g++ in a throwaway harness and diffed against
+  the Python port; outputs are identical on the 31-line corpus. Re-check after any
+  parser change while the clone is available.
+- VOX mode is Flextalk-only. The wrapper enables it with `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX=1`
+  (`VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX_CLEAN=1` drops the stutter wrapper); word mode
+  (`VESKSLOP_TTS_WORDS=1`) wins and skips VOX prosody.
+- Half-Life presets (`VESKSLOP_TTS_PRESET=vox|hev`) target Keith Bell only. VOX values
+  come from NetTTS `nettts_flextalk_vox_profile.reg`: pitch 3, rate 17, prominences 22,
+  head size 52, volume 70 (factory: 27/33/17/46/100); `vox` also implies VOX prosody.
+  `hev` (pitch 15, rate 24) is an unverified starting point - HL1 credits the suit
+  sounds to Kelly Bailey with no published settings.
+- Flextalk rate/pitch are applied as **vendor tags** (`\!R` = duration factor,
+  `\!%` = pitch multiplier), never `-s`/`-p`, because ITTSAttributes override the
+  registry profile. Neutral values emit no tag, so Veskslop's default sliders
+  (1.0 / 0) reproduce the preset byte-for-byte. Presets write the full 26-value NetTTS
+  profile plus `Default Speaker` into both HKCU and HKLM.
+- Line-leading `/rate N` and `/pitch N` controls are consumed by the wrapper
+  (percent, 100 = normal; `<= 2.0` means multiplier). They override the env
+  speed/pitch and are not spoken; a controls-only line yields 100 ms of silence.

+# TTS-DESIGN.md — building a TTS engine for Veskslop
+
+This document is the integration contract for a text-to-speech engine that Veskslop will use. It is
+written to be self-contained: an engine developer can work from this file alone.
+
+## How Veskslop uses TTS
+
+1. A line of text is queued (`POST /api/audio/speak` or the MCP `speak` tool).
+2. The daemon asks the engine for an audio file (command mode) or audio bytes (HTTP mode).
+3. `ffplay` decodes the file and plays it into the PulseAudio null sink `veskslop_tts`.
+4. `veskslop_tts.monitor` is exposed as the source `veskslop_mic`.
+5. The Vesktop client uses `veskslop_mic` as its microphone, so the call hears the speech.
+6. While TTS plays and another person speaks, the daemon lowers the `veskslop_tts` sink volume to
+   30% and restores it after. This is "ducking". The engine does not implement ducking.
+
+Lines are serialized: one synthesis, then playback, then the next line. There is no streaming
+playback path and no partial-audio protocol. The engine returns a complete audio object.
+
+## Integration modes
+
+### HTTP provider (recommended)
+
+Set `VESKSLOP_TTS_API_URL`. Select the API provider with `VESKSLOP_TTS_PROVIDER=api` or the
+**API TTS** choice in the TTS panel. The daemon sends:
+
+```
+POST <VESKSLOP_TTS_API_URL>
+Content-Type: application/json
+Authorization: Bearer <VESKSLOP_TTS_API_KEY>   (only when the key is set)
+
+{ "text": "Hello there.", "voice": "anna" }
+```
+
+The response body must be the audio bytes. `Content-Type` selects the file extension: `audio/mpeg`
+or `audio/mp3` → `.mp3`, `audio/ogg` → `.ogg`, `audio/wav` or `audio/x-wav` → `.wav`, anything else
+is treated as `.mp3`. Prefer `audio/wav`.
+
+A non-2xx response is an error. Return a short JSON or text body with the reason; the daemon logs
+it and drops the line.
+
+Use the HTTP mode for any engine with a model load time. It keeps the model warm and avoids the
+per-line process start cost.
+
+### Local command provider
+
+Set `VESKSLOP_TTS_CMD`. It takes precedence over the built-in espeak-ng engine. Veskslop replaces
+these placeholders, splits the string on whitespace, and runs the result directly (no shell):
+
+| Placeholder | Replaced with |
+| --- | --- |
+| `{out}` | Output file path, extension `.wav`. Required. |
+| `{text_file}` | A UTF-8 text file holding the line. |
+| `{voice}` | The selected voice ID, or an empty string. |
+| `{speed}` | The rate multiplier, or an empty string when unset. |
+| `{pitch}` | The pitch offset in semitones, or an empty string when unset. |
+| `{expression}` | The Flextalk Expression profile value, or an empty string when unset. |
+
+The process also receives `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICE`, `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED`,
+`VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH`, and `VESKSLOP_TTS_EXPRESSION` when those are set. Write the audio to
+`{out}` and exit 0. Non-zero exits are errors; stderr is captured into the log message, so keep it
+short.
+
+Command mode is best for fast, stateless engines. It has no shell quoting: paths with spaces and
+shell tricks cannot work. Use a small wrapper script if you need options.
+
+## Audio output requirements
+
+| Property | Recommendation | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Container | WAV (RIFF) | Any format ffmpeg decodes works, but WAV avoids decoder startup cost. |
+| Codec | PCM signed 16-bit little-endian | `pcm_s16le`. |
+| Sample rate | 48000 Hz | 44100 Hz is fine. Discord re-encodes to 48 kHz Opus; a 48 kHz source avoids one resample. |
+| Channels | Mono | Discord voice is effectively mono. Stereo is accepted but adds no value. |
+| Duration | One line of speech | No intro/outro music, no chimes. |
+| Peak level | About -3 dBFS | Leave headroom; ducking and Discord gain must not clip. |
+| Loudness | Consistent across lines | Aim for a stable integrated loudness (roughly -16 to -20 LUFS) so lines do not jump in volume. |
+| Silence | Trim start to under 100 ms, keep roughly 20-50 ms of padding | Long leading silence delays the first audible word. |
+| Edges | 5-10 ms fade in and out | Prevents clicks. |
+| DC offset | None | Center the waveform. |
+
+Veskslop does not normalize, limit, or re-encode the audio. Playback is `ffplay` at 100% sink
+volume, so the engine's levels are what Discord hears.
+
+## Voices
+
+A voice ID is an opaque string to Veskslop. Prefer short, stable, lowercase ASCII identifiers such
+as `anna`, `sv-anna`, or `en-male-2`. The ID can contain letters, digits, `-`, `_`, and `+`.
+
+If the engine has multiple voices, expose them so a UI can list them:
+
+```
+GET /voices
+[
+  {
+    "id": "anna",
+    "name": "Anna",
+    "language": "sv",
+    "gender": "female",
+    "speed":  { "min": 0.5, "max": 2.0, "default": 1.0 },
+    "pitch":  { "min": -12,  "max": 12,  "default": 0, "unit": "semitones" }
+  }
+]
+```
+
+Note: Veskslop currently lists voices from espeak-ng only. A custom engine's voices appear after
+Veskslop adds support for reading this endpoint (see "Veskslop changes needed"). Until then, set
+the voice through the engine's own configuration and leave the Veskslop voice setting empty.
+
+## Speed and pitch
+
+Speed and pitch are engine settings, not Veskslop concepts today. Veskslop passes only `text`,
+`voice`, and `provider`. No UI or preference exists for speed or pitch.
+
+Recommended semantics for the engine:
+
+- **speed**: a multiplier, `1.0` is normal, useful range `0.5` to `2.0`. Do not change pitch when
+  changing speed unless the user asks for it.
+- **pitch**: semitones, `0` is the voice's natural pitch, useful range `-12` to `+12`. State the
+  unit in the `/voices` response so clients do not guess.
+
+Recommended HTTP shape (extras are optional; an engine may ignore them):
+
+```
+{ "text": "...", "voice": "anna", "speed": 1.15, "pitch": -2 }
+```
+
+Recommended command shape: `{speed}` and `{pitch}` are substituted when set, and the same values
+are exported as `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED` and `VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH`. Read either; the environment form
+survives placeholder-free commands.
+
+### How Veskslop should add first-class settings
+
+Implemented on the Veskslop side (2026-09-15):
+
+- `tts` preferences carry `speed` (0.5–2.0) and `pitch` (-12–+12, semitones), both nullable.
+- `/api/audio/speak` and the MCP `speak` tool accept optional `speed` and `pitch` that override
+  the preferences for that line.
+- The command provider substitutes `{speed}`/`{pitch}`/`{expression}` and exports
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_EXPRESSION` only when the value is set.
+- The HTTP provider adds `speed`, `pitch`, and `expression` to the request body only when set.
+- The TTS panel has speed presets, speed/pitch sliders, and an Expression slider that appears only
+  for voices that declare it (`expression` / `expression=NN` flags). Changes save to preferences.
+- Command mode advertises voices through `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES`. Entries are separated by commas or
+  newlines and use `id`, `id|Name`, `id|Name|gender`, `id|Name|gender|language`, or
+  `id|Name|gender|language|flags`, where flags are `+`-separated. Flags: `no-pitch` (engine ignores
+  pitch) and `expression` / `expression=NN` (Flextalk profile parameter with its registry default).
+  `/api/audio/tts/voices` reports `supportsPitch` and `supportsExpression` /
+  `expressionDefault`; the TTS panel hides controls the voice does not support. While a custom
+  command is set, the engine's declared voices replace the espeak list. Reading `/voices` for the
+  HTTP provider is still future work.
+
+Do not encode settings into the voice string (for example `anna+speed1.2`). It breaks voice lists
+and is hard to validate.
+
+## Text handling
+
+- UTF-8 input. Lines arrive trimmed and are at most 1000 characters.
+- Do not parse or require SSML. Plain text is the contract. SSML support can be additive.
+- Emoji, URLs, markdown, and code blocks can appear. Veskslop does not sanitize them. The engine
+  should not fail on an unknown character; skip or verbalize it as it prefers.
+- Keep punctuation-based prosody. A period, comma, question mark, and newline are the only hints
+  for pacing.
+
+## Errors, limits, and behavior
+
+- One request = one complete audio object. No chunked playback, no callbacks.
+- Synthesis blocks the queue. Target under about 500 ms for a short line; state a realistic budget
+  if the engine is slower. A warm HTTP server is the way to meet this.
+- Requests are serialized by Veskslop, so the engine does not need a request queue, but it should
+  tolerate repeated back-to-back requests.
+- The daemon never retries a failed line. Make failures visible in the response and stderr.
+- Do not write to the `veskslop_tts` sink or the `veskslop_mic` source directly. The daemon owns
+  playback routing.
+
+## Optional: caching
+
+Veskslop does not cache audio. The engine may cache by `hash(text + voice + speed + pitch)` and
+return the cached file or bytes. This is useful for repeated lines and for expensive models.
+
+## Veskslop changes needed
+
+Status as of 2026-09-15:
+
+1. `speed` and `pitch` are first-class: preferences, per-request overrides on `/api/audio/speak`
+   and MCP `speak`, env exports and placeholders for the command provider, request fields for the
+   HTTP provider, and two sliders in the TTS panel.
+2. Command-mode voices come from `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES`. Reading the engine's `GET /voices` for the
+   HTTP provider is not implemented yet. Until then, declare voices with the env var or configure
+   the voice inside the wrapper.
+3. No changes are needed for the audio format; the engine post-processes to the required output.
+
+Until `/voices` is wired, use defaults configured in the engine.
+
+## Acceptance checklist
+
+- [ ] Engine starts and answers on a stable URL or command.
+- [ ] Output is mono PCM WAV at 48 kHz (or 44.1 kHz), peak near -3 dBFS.
+- [ ] First audible word starts within about 500 ms of the request.
+- [ ] Speech is clean: no clicks, no clipping, no long leading silence.
+- [ ] Lines are consistent in loudness.
+- [ ] `voice` accepts stable ASCII IDs; unknown IDs fall back to a default instead of failing.
+- [ ] `speed` and `pitch` are optional and documented in `/voices`.
+- [ ] Errors return a short reason and do not leave the engine wedged.
+- [ ] No files are written outside the engine's own cache or the `{out}` path.

+
+## Clarifications from the engine side (MicroslopSam)
+
+_Added 2026-09-15 by the engine implementer. The contract above stands; these points
+record what the engine needs to interpret, add, or hide._
+
+### Output pipeline (WAV requirements)
+
+- Raw SAPI4 output is mono PCM s16le WAV but not at the target rate: the MSTTS voices
+  (Sam/Mary/Mike) render at 22050 Hz, the Flextalk voices at 11025 Hz.
+- Raw Flextalk output **clips** (peak 32768, RMS about 22000) and MSTTS is much quieter,
+  so one shared level target is required. The engine post-processes every line:
+  resample to 48000 Hz, trim leading silence (<100 ms), 5-10 ms fades, DC removal, and
+  level normalization (peak about -3 dBFS, integrated loudness -16 to -20 LUFS).
+- Implemented in `setup/veskslop-tts.sh` with ffmpeg: high-pass at 40 Hz, silence trim at
+  both ends (trim-start, reverse, trim-start, reverse), 8 ms fades, then a **fixed gain**
+  computed from an EBU R128 measurement (`ebur128=peak=true`):
+  `gain = min(-16 LUFS target, -3 dBFS true-peak clamp)`, then 48 kHz mono s16le.
+- `loudnorm` was rejected: on short lines (under about 3 s) the loudness range is 0 and
+  dynamic mode attenuated a 2.8 s line to -37.9 LUFS instead of about -18 LUFS; two-pass
+  linear mode showed the same result. The fixed gain is steady for one-line utterances,
+  as Veskslop suggested.
+- Verified: Keith Bell -18.4 LUFS, Kerry Watson -17.9 LUFS, Sam -20.6 LUFS; every file is
+  48 kHz mono s16le at -3.0 dBFS true peak. The WAV handed to Veskslop is compliant; the
+  "Veskslop does not normalize" rule holds.
+- Fades: the 8 ms fade-in/out is applied to the trimmed file, and the retained 25-30 ms
+  padding silence sits at the edges, so the fade shapes silence, not the first phoneme.
+  Measured on a Keith Bell line: first sample >30 at 22.6 ms, speech (>500) at 29.6 ms,
+  attack rising naturally over about 15 ms, tail decaying over about 18 ms. No click and
+  no attenuation of the first word; Veskslop's 150 ms playback lead-in sits on top.
+- Leading hum (on by default): 80 ms of a 75 Hz sine at -48 dBFS peak is prepended
+  before the engine padding, to keep Discord's audio pipeline open so the first word is
+  not gated. Configurable: `VESKSLOP_TTS_HUM_MS` (0 disables), `_HUM_HZ` (30-200),
+  `_HUM_DB` (-80..-6). It sits about 45 dB under the speech peak; raise `_HUM_DB` toward
+  -36 if a client still gates the start, lower it for stealth. Generated in the same
+  ffmpeg pass (no extra process) and not part of the EBU measurement, so the documented
+  loudness/peak targets still hold. The hum is mixed on its own chain and bypasses the
+  high-pass/trim chain, so raising `VESKSLOP_TTS_HIGHPASS` (40-400 Hz) never removes it
+  (verified at 200 and 400 Hz: still 75.0 Hz / -48.0 dBFS). Measured: hum 75.0 Hz /
+  -48.0 dBFS, speech onset at about 110 ms, final -18.6 LUFS / -3.0 dBFS; `HUM_MS=0`
+  reproduces the previous output byte-for-byte.
+
+### Voice IDs
+
+- Engine voice names are "Sam", "Mary", "Mike", "Keith Bell", "Kerry Watson", plus MSTTS
+  variants (telephone, hall, stadium, space) and TruVoice names that the engine lists but
+  has no installed data for.
+- Assigned stable IDs: `sam`, `mary`, `mike`, `keith-bell`, `kerry-watson`; variants get
+  `mike-telephone`, `mike-hall`, `mary-stadium`, `mike-space`, and so on. Unknown IDs fall
+  back to `sam`.
+- `vox` (VOX (Half-Life)) and `hev` (HEV suit) are Keith Bell with a fixed preset profile;
+  selecting one implies `VESKSLOP_TTS_PRESET` (`vox` also enables VOX prosody). Their
+  `defaults=` metadata follows the active preset so the UI snap points match.
+- `/voices` (HTTP mode) reports `language: "en"`, gender, and the speed/pitch ranges below.
+
+### Speed and pitch mapping (measured 2026-09-15)
+
+- SAPI4 uses engine units, not multipliers or semitones. Measured on the dev host with a
+  correctly typed Flextalk install:
+  - MSTTS Sam: speed 30-450, natural about 150; pitch 50-200 with a real audible effect.
+  - Flextalk: speed 50-390, natural about 150 (durations at 100/200/300 fit a natural rate
+    near 140-150); pitch 50-250 works. Measured F0: Kerry 0 st = 209 Hz, -6 st = 148 Hz,
+    +6 st = 250 Hz (clamped); Keith 0 st = 119 Hz, +6 st = 170 Hz.
+- **Correction to the earlier note**: the previous "Flextalk ignores pitch / natural 300"
+  finding was an artifact of the speaker registry values being stored as `REG_SZ`. The
+  engine requires `REG_DWORD` for numeric speaker values; with strings it synthesizes a
+  monotone buzz at maximum pitch. Fixed in `setup/setup-flextalk.sh`; no `no-pitch` flag
+  is needed.
+- Mapping implemented in `setup/veskslop-tts.sh`: `speed 1.0` = natural rate 150 for every
+  voice, scaled by the multiplier and clamped to the engine range. `pitch` semitones scale
+  the voice's natural pitch unit by `2^(st/12)` and clamp to the range. Natural units are
+  about 100 (MSTTS), 106 (Keith Bell) and 186 (Kerry Watson). The engines' F0 response is
+  approximate, not semitone-calibrated.
+- `{setting}` is unused; the wrapper reads `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED` and
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH` from the environment when Veskslop later exports them.
+
+### Text handling
+
+- SAPI4 is ANSI/CP1252. The wrapper converts UTF-8 to CP1252 and maps emoji and
+  unmappable characters to spaces. The host passes `TTSDATAFLAG_TAGGED`, so SAPI4 control
+  tags in the text are enabled at the engine level; tagged input is not part of this
+  contract and is untested. Plain text (no SSML) is the contract.
+- Lines up to 1000 characters are well within engine limits.
+
+### Other voice adjustments (beyond speed)
+
+All voices implement SAPI4 `ITTSAttributes`, so **pitch, speed and volume** exist at the
+API level. The Veskslop contract exposes only speed and pitch; volume is available in the
+host as `sapi4host -V <value>` and is not sent by Veskslop.
+
+- **Volume** (measured 2026-09-15):
+  - Flextalk: linear, range 0-65535, default 65535; half (32767) is about -6 dB, 0 is
+    silence.
+  - MSTTS: default is 0xFFFFFFFF; 0 is silence, but the response is not linear (for
+    example 4096 gives about -24 dB while 65535 and larger are full scale). Treat volume
+    as effectively on/off for MSTTS.
+- **Flextalk per-speaker profile** (applied at voice load, not runtime-adjustable):
+  values live in `HKLM\Software\AT&T\Watson\2.0\FlexTalk\2.0\Speakers\{GUID}` (see
+  `docs/NOTES.md` for the full list and defaults). `Pitch`/`Speaking Rate` set the natural
+  voice; **Expression** was verified to change the synthesis audibly (Keith Bell at
+  Expression 0 / 59 / 100 yields different waveforms with the same duration). Changing a
+  profile requires a registry edit and re-selecting the voice.
+- **MSTTS voice character** is fixed by the `.vce`/`.cfg` data; the engine exposes no
+  per-voice profile in the registry. Its effect variants (telephone, in Hall, in Stadium,
+  in Space) are separate voice modes with separate data, exposed as distinct voice IDs
+  (`mike-telephone`, `mary-hall`, ...), not runtime effects.
+- Not exposed by this integration: SSML, prosody/style tags, or SAPI4 attribute
+  extensions beyond pitch/speed/volume.
+
+### Flextalk profile parameters (how to implement)
+
+Each Flextalk speaker has a profile the engine reads when the voice is loaded. It lives in
+the registry; **every numeric value must be `REG_DWORD`**:
+
+    HKLM\Software\AT&T\Watson\2.0\FlexTalk\2.0\Speakers\{11260610-C84A-11ce-AEC4-0000C0E9CB87}   # Keith Bell
+    HKLM\Software\AT&T\Watson\2.0\FlexTalk\2.0\Speakers\{000031CB-3699-551F-AED0-6B4893382D57}   # Kerry Watson
+
+| Value (REG_DWORD unless noted) | Keith Bell | Kerry Watson | Measured effect |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Pitch | 27 | 65 | Natural pitch (F0); the same scale `ITTSAttributes` shifts at runtime |
+| Speaking Rate | 33 | 32 | Natural speech rate (about 150 wpm equivalent) |
+| Volume | 100 | 100 | Output gain; 0 = silence |
+| Expression | 59 | 100 | Audible; changes the waveform at equal duration |
+| Prominences | 17 | 17 | Audible; strong prosody/emphasis effect (F0 median 122 -> 197 Hz at 100) |
+| Head Size | 46 | 45 | Audible; brightness/level (peak 20001 -> 32205 at 100) |
+| Lowering | 40 | 40 | Audible but subtle |
+| Age | 30 | 30 | No measured effect on synthesis (informational) |
+| Gender (REG_SZ) | "" | "" | No measured effect on synthesis (informational) |
+| Mode Name / Speaker Name (REG_SZ) | "Keith Bell" | "Kerry Watson" | Mode name SAPI4 shows for the voice |
+
+How to apply a change:
+
+1. `setup/setup-flextalk.sh` writes these defaults, so re-running it restores them.
+2. Profiles are read at voice load. The host loads the engine per request, so the next
+   synthesis after a registry change uses the new profile; no engine restart is needed.
+3. Example (lower and slow Keith Bell), with `WINEPREFIX` pointing at the project prefix:
+
+       wine reg add 'HKLM\Software\AT&T\Watson\2.0\FlexTalk\2.0\Speakers\{11260610-C84A-11ce-AEC4-0000C0E9CB87}' \
+           /v Pitch /t REG_DWORD /d 20 /f
+       wine reg add '...' /v "Speaking Rate" /t REG_DWORD /d 28 /f
+
+   Never use `REG_SZ` for numeric values: the engine reads garbage and synthesizes a
+   monotone buzz at maximum pitch.
+4. Not exposed by the Veskslop contract (which sends only text/voice/speed/pitch). If
+   profile control is wanted later, the clean place is the wrapper: read an env var such
+   as `VESKSLOP_TTS_PROFILE` (`key=value` list or JSON), write the registry values before
+   synthesis, then restore. That keeps the Veskslop interface unchanged.
+5. Runtime `ITTSAttributes` pitch/speed/volume layer on top of the profile: the profile
+   defines the natural values, the attributes shift them per request.
+
+### VOX mode (NetTTS-inspired, Flextalk only)
+
+`VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX=1` routes the text through a rule-based prosody encoder before
+synthesis. `setup/vox_parser.py` is an independent reimplementation of the VOX parser
+from [h4rm0n1c/NetTTS](https://github.com/h4rm0n1c/NetTTS), which models Half-Life's
+Black Mesa announcement delivery. It was verified byte-identical to the NetTTS parser
+on a 31-line corpus (the reference was built locally with g++ for the comparison).
+
+What it does: sentence splitting; `the` -> `thee` before prepositions, proper nouns,
+single letters or numbers; lead-in breaks ("Now...", "Please...", "A reminder...");
+time/number/degree normalization; token weighting (light/medium/heavy) with break
+insertion at linkers, title-case runs, heavy gates and a 3-beat limiter; letter
+tokens (`A` -> `Ay:`, `C` -> `C:`); `\!sf500 \!br` at sentence ends; and the
+`\!wH1 ... \!wH0` staccato wrapper (disable with `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX_CLEAN=1`).
+
+Requirements and scope:
+
+- Flextalk voices only: `\!br`, `\!sfNN` and `\!wH1/\!wH0` are FlexTalk vendor tags.
+  The host passes `TTSDATAFLAG_TAGGED`, so the engine honors them. Other voices ignore
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX`.
+- Needs `python3` at runtime; the wrapper fails loudly when it is missing.
+- Combines with `VESKSLOP_TTS_WORDS`: word mode wins and VOX prosody is skipped.
+- Measured on the dev host for "Now approaching Sector C test lab. Please stand clear
+  of the test chamber.": plain 4.70 s with 1 pause, VOX 7.81 s with 8 pauses.
+
+Other NetTTS features and their relevance:
+
+- Inline `/rate N`, `/pitch N` are handled by the wrapper at the start of a line
+  (percent, or a multiplier at or below 2.0); they override the env sliders for that
+  line and are not spoken. `[[pause N]]` is not ported; it could be added as a
+  wrapper-level text splitter later.
+- TCP server with `START`/`STOP` status sockets: not needed; Veskslop owns playback
+  and knows when a line ends.
+- Winetricks prefix automation (`winxp`, `vcrun6`, `mfc42`, `riched20`): not needed;
+  our prefix runs the engines with builtin Wine libraries.
+- Win32 GUI and preset sliders: Veskslop provides the UI.
+
+### Half-Life VOX / HEV presets
+
+The Half-Life announcement voice (VOX / Black Mesa Announcement System) is the Flextalk
+engine's **Keith Bell** voice with an adjusted speaker profile. NetTTS publishes an
+approximation of Valve's settings (`scripts/winetricks/nettts_flextalk_vox_profile.reg`,
+see its issues #53/#54/#67): the profile targets Keith Bell's speaker key and leaves
+Kerry Watson at factory values. The wrapper implements it as a preset:
+
+    VESKSLOP_TTS_PRESET=vox   # implies VOX prosody unless VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX is set
+    VESKSLOP_TTS_PRESET=hev   # HEV suit starting point (see note below)
+
+| Profile value | Factory (Keith) | VOX preset | HEV preset (approx.) |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Pitch | 27 | 3 | 15 |
+| Speaking Rate | 33 | 17 | 24 |
+| Prominences | 17 | 22 | 22 |
+| Head Size | 46 | 52 | 52 |
+| Lowering | 40 | 40 | 40 |
+| Volume | 100 | 70 | 70 |
+| Expression | 59 | 59 | 59 |
+
+- Presets apply only to `keith-bell`; every other voice keeps its defaults.
+- Precedence: preset < `VESKSLOP_TTS_PROFILE` < `VESKSLOP_TTS_EXPRESSION`.
+- Equivalent explicit override:
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_PROFILE='pitch:3,rate:17,volume:70,prominences:22,head_size:52,lowering:40'`.
+- HEV suit: Half-Life 1 credits the suit sounds to Kelly Bailey; no settings were ever
+  published. The `hev` preset is a starting point (less extreme than VOX); tune pitch and
+  rate to taste. VOX prosody is optional there (`VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX=1`).
+
+#### How NetTTS applies the settings (reference behaviour)
+
+Checked against the NetTTS sources (`src/main.cpp`, `src/tts_engine.cpp`,
+`scripts/winetricks/nettts_flextalk_vox_profile.reg`):
+
+1. **Voice**: the imported profile points `Default Speaker` at Keith Bell's GUID, and
+   NetTTS selects the default mode (empty `TTSMODEINFO`) rather than a voice name.
+2. **Speaker profile**: the full key set is imported into **both** hives
+   (`HKEY_CURRENT_USER` and `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE`) at prefix setup; every numeric value is
+   `REG_DWORD`.
+3. **Rate and pitch are never set through `ITTSAttributes`.** NetTTS keeps UI percentages
+   and prepends sticky vendor tags to the utterance text:
+   - `\!R<factor>` = duration factor. Smaller is faster: `0.30` very fast, `1.00` 1.0x,
+     `1.60` slow. No tag at 100%.
+   - `\!%<factor>` = pitch multiplier. `0.85` lower, `1.20` higher. No tag at 100%.
+4. **Volume** goes through `ITTSAttributes::VolumeSet(percent * 65535 / 100)` (Flextalk
+   scale; MSTTS uses 0..0xFFFFFFFF).
+5. **Prosody**: the VOX parser output wrapped in `\!wH1 ... \!wH0`.
+6. The tags are sticky inside an engine instance; NetTTS sends the neutral tag only to
+   reset. Our wrapper starts a fresh engine per line, so stickiness cannot leak.
+
+#### How to implement it correctly (and the bug this fixed)
+
+Earlier wrapper versions mapped `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED`/`_PITCH` to `ITTSAttributes`
+`-s`/`-p`. Measured with the VOX profile loaded, Veskslop's neutral slider values
+(`speed=1.0, pitch=0`) sent `-s 150 -p 106`, which overrode the registry profile: F0
+jumped from 87 Hz back to 120 Hz and the line shortened from 5.83 s to 5.10 s. That is
+the "too fast, not deep enough" report.
+
+The correct implementation for Flextalk:
+
+1. Write the speaker profile first (both hives, `REG_DWORD`, full key set for presets;
+   `Default Speaker` for presets).
+2. Translate rate/pitch to vendor tags, **not** attributes:
+   - speed multiplier `m` -> `\!R(1/m)` (clamp 0.25-4.0)
+   - pitch semitones `st` -> `\!%(2^(st/12))` (clamp 0.5-2.0)
+3. Emit **no tag when neutral** (`m == 1`, `st == 0`). `\!R1.00` is a literal 1.0x rate,
+   not the profile rate, so emitting it defeats the preset.
+4. Prepend the tags to the text (`\!R0.77 \!%1.19 Attention all personnel.`); for word
+   mode, prepend to each word because every word is a separate engine instance.
+5. Keep `-s`/`-p` only for MSTTS voices, which have no vendor tags.
+6. Verify with F0 and duration, not by ear: factory Keith ~3.35 s / ~123 Hz; VOX preset
+   ~5.83 s / ~87 Hz; neutral sliders must reproduce the preset byte-for-byte.
+
+Verified matrix (same line, Keith Bell):
+
+| Run | Duration | F0 median |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| factory, no adjustments | 3.35 s | 123 Hz |
+| VOX preset, no adjustments | 5.83 s | 87 Hz |
+| VOX preset + `speed=1.0 pitch=0` | 5.83 s, byte-identical | 87 Hz |
+| VOX preset + `speed=1.3` | 4.02 s | 84 Hz |
+| VOX preset + `pitch=+3` | 5.83 s | 88 Hz |
+| HEV preset, no adjustments | 3.79 s | - |
+
+Registry inspection after a preset run: 26 values in the Keith speaker key in both
+hives, `Pitch=0x3`, `Speaking Rate=0x11`, `Gender=0x2`, `Line Mode=0x1`,
+`Default Speaker={11260610-C84A-11CE-AEC4-0000C0E9CB87}`.
+
+### Inline rate/pitch controls (engine-side)
+
+The wrapper consumes NetTTS-style, line-leading controls, so Veskslop and the WebUI do
+not need to parse or implement them:
+
+    /rate 150 Attention all personnel.      # 150% rate, then the line
+    /pitch 90 Attention all personnel.      # 90% pitch
+    /rate 120 /pitch 110 Inbound tram.      # both, in any order
+
+- `N` is a percent (100 = normal, clamped to 0-200); values `<= 2.0` are multipliers
+  (`/rate 1.5` = 150%).
+- They override `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH` for that line and are not
+  spoken.
+- A line that contains only controls yields 100 ms of silence, so the daemon always
+  receives a valid WAV.
+- Rate maps through the normal speed scale; pitch percent maps to semitones
+  (`st = 12*log2(N/100)`) and then through the per-voice natural pitch.
+- Verified on the dev host: `/rate 50` doubles the line duration; `/pitch 150` raises
+  the median F0 from 122 Hz to 177 Hz.
+
+### Paths and configuration (standalone)
+
+The engine project is standalone and archival: it has no path dependency on Veskslop,
+and every non-installable dependency is vendored under `third_party/`, so nothing is
+fetched from the network at build or run time:
+
+- `third_party/speech.h` — SAPI4 SDK header used by the build.
+- `third_party/sapi4/` — SAPI4 runtime (`SPEECH.DLL` + INF), MSTTS engine + voices,
+  and the original installers.
+- `third_party/flextalk/data1.cab` — AT&T Flextalk installer (Keith Bell / Kerry Watson).
+- `third_party/nettss-reference/` — NetTTS VOX parser source, kept to validate
+  `setup/vox_parser.py`.
+
+Only toolchain packages are installed by `setup/install-deps.sh` (Wine/Winelib, ffmpeg,
+python3, unshield, mingw). Everything else lives in the repository.
+
+`setup/install.sh` writes `setup/microslopsam.env` with absolute paths; environment
+variables take precedence over that file, so anything can be relocated without editing
+scripts:
+
+| Variable | Default | Meaning |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `MICROSLOP_ROOT` | repo root | project root |
+| `MICROSLOP_BUILD` | `$MICROSLOP_ROOT/build` | host binaries, samples |
+| `MICROSLOP_PREFIX` | `~/.wine-microslopsam` | wine prefix (exported as `WINEPREFIX`) |
+| `MICROSLOP_ASSETS` | `third_party/sapi4` | SAPI4/MSTTS payloads (vendored) |
+| `MICROSLOP_FLEXTALK_DIR` | `third_party/flextalk` | Flextalk cabinet/extraction (vendored) |
+| `MICROSLOP_SPEECH_H_DIR` | `$MICROSLOP_ROOT/third_party` | `speech.h` include dir (vendored) |
+| `MICROSLOP_DISPLAY` | `:77` | Xvfb display used for Wine |
+| `MICROSLOP_WINE` / `_XVFB` / `_PYTHON` / `_FFMPEG` | tool names | tool overrides |
+
+The wrapper needs only `VESKSLOP_TTS_CMD` to point at its absolute path; it derives
+everything else from its own location plus the env file.
+
+### Merging into Veskslop
+
+This tree is written to survive a copy into the Veskslop repository next to its daemon:
+
+1. Copy `microslopsam/` (or replace the existing copy). The vendored assets under
+   `third_party/` come along, so the merged tree stays self-contained. Then refresh the
+   configuration: `MICROSLOP_UPDATE_ENV=1 microslopsam/setup/install.sh`. Re-running
+   install is idempotent; it rewrites `setup/microslopsam.env` for the new absolute paths.
+2. No daemon changes are required. The env/placeholder contract is unchanged
+   (`VESKSLOP_TTS_*`, `{out}`, `{text_file}`, voice/speed/pitch/expression/profile/
+   highpass/echo/words/word_gap_ms). New features are additive and default off.
+3. Optional Veskslop-side follow-up: a `tts.vox` preference that exports
+   `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOX` (like `words`) and a line in the TTS panel help. If presets are
+   exposed, also export `VESKSLOP_TTS_PRESET` and have the voice metadata defaults reflect
+   the preset values so the UI's "default" snap points match. The inline `/rate` and
+   `/pitch` controls need no UI work at all.
+
+### Transport and latency
+
+- Installation is one command: `setup/install.sh` (system dependencies with sudo, wine
+  prefix + SAPI4 runtime + MSTTS voices, Flextalk extraction/registration, host build).
+  Re-running is safe; a fresh machine needs nothing else.
+- Command provider, implemented as `setup/veskslop-tts.sh`:
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_CMD="<repo>/setup/veskslop-tts.sh {out} {text_file}"` and
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES="$(<repo>/setup/veskslop-tts.sh --voices)"`. The wrapper reads the
+  text file, transliterates UTF-8 to CP1252, starts or reuses an Xvfb when `DISPLAY` is
+  unset, calls the engine, then post-processes (trim, fades, measured fixed gain, 48 kHz
+  mono s16le). A stale private Xvfb is retried once.
+- Measured on the dev host (warm): engine call about 190 ms (Flextalk) to 220 ms (Sam)
+  including Wine start, ffmpeg measure about 110 ms, ffmpeg apply about 90 ms, profile
+  registry write about 57 ms when it runs. Full wrapper: about 410-425 ms per short line
+  warm, about 730 ms for the first (cold) call. The 500 ms target is met warm; Veskslop's
+  "Start engine" warm-up covers the cold case.
+- Latency optimization implemented: the Flextalk profile write is cached per voice inside
+  the Wine prefix (`.microslopsam-profile<GUID>.reg`); an unchanged profile skips the
+  `wine reg import` round-trip (about 57 ms warm, 300 ms cold). Recreating the prefix
+  invalidates the cache automatically.
+- Manual checks: `setup/run.sh -l`, `setup/run.sh -v "Keith Bell" -t "Hello." -o out.wav`
+  (raw engine WAV), and the wrapper above for normalized output.
+- HTTP provider (later): a persistent process returning `audio/wav` bytes and `/voices`,
+  with optional caching by `hash(text + voice + speed + pitch)`.
+
+### Quirks the wrapper must hide
+
+- Flextalk numeric speaker settings must be `REG_DWORD`; `REG_SZ` values make the engine
+  synthesize a buzz. `setup/setup-flextalk.sh` writes them correctly.
+- Flextalk cabinet is single-volume: `unshield -O` extracts all 450 entries with exact
+  sizes. Without `-O`, the new decompressor reports a phantom "volume 2" and fails on
+  `MSVCRT.DLL` / `WatsonUNInstall.dll`; both are complete with `-O` (verified against the
+  original 1997 upload log, which lists `data1.cab` only).
+- The mode list includes TruVoice names with no installed voice data; filter those out of
+  `/voices` (or mark them `unavailable`).
+- Wine needs a working X display; the project helper starts a persistent Xvfb.
+
+### Licensing
+
+- The engines and voice data are proprietary Microsoft/AT&T/L&H artifacts. Keep this a
+  local integration; do not redistribute the DLLs or voice data with Veskslop.
+
+### Extra acceptance items for the engine
+
+- [x] Post-processed WAV is 48 kHz mono s16le, peak about -3 dBFS, no clipping, fades present.
+- [x] Leading silence under 100 ms.
+- [x] Voice ID fallback works; TruVoice entries filtered.
+- [x] Latency recorded (Sam about 288 ms, Flextalk about 41 ms on the dev host).
+
+## Responses from the Veskslop side
+
+_Added 2026-09-15._
+
+- **Env vars and placeholders**: `VESKSLOP_TTS_SPEED` and `VESKSLOP_TTS_PITCH` are exported only
+  when a value is set; `{speed}` and `{pitch}` substitute the same values. Reading the environment
+  is the safer option because it works even when the command has no placeholders.
+- **Defaults**: a missing value means "engine default". Leave the sliders at 1.00x and 0 st in
+  Veskslop to keep the fields out of the request entirely.
+- **`loudnorm` caution**: single-pass `loudnorm` can pump or over-amplify noise on short lines.
+  Set the target explicitly (`loudnorm=I=-16:TP=-1.5:LRA=11`) and verify a few lines with
+  `ebur128`. A fixed gain that hits about -3 dBFS peak with a consistent RMS is often steadier for
+  one-line utterances. Ducking lowers the sink to 30%, so keep peaks conservative and loudness
+  even between lines.
+- **Display**: the daemon does not export `DISPLAY` to TTS children. The wrapper must start or
+  find its own Xvfb and set `DISPLAY` itself, as the project helper already does. Do not rely on
+  the client's display.
+- **Engine selection**: the Speech settings and the TTS panel list every configured engine. The
+  command engine appears under `VESKSLOP_TTS_NAME` (default "custom engine") and is selectable
+  directly; Auto uses the command engine first. Selecting it hides the language row and shows the
+  `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES` list.
+- **Start engine**: the Speech settings have a **Start engine** button (`POST /api/audio/tts/warm`,
+  MCP `start_tts_engine`) that runs one throwaway synthesis to warm the command engine (Xvfb, Wine,
+  host). Keep the wrapper able to handle a short sentence; the warm-up uses "The quick brown fox
+  jumps over the lazy dog." and reports the elapsed milliseconds. Two-pass `loudnorm` must not fail
+  on that input.
+- **Lead-in silence**: Veskslop prepends a short silence at playback time (`VESKSLOP_TTS_LEAD_MS`,
+  default 150 ms) so Discord's voice pipeline is ready before the first syllable. It is added with
+  `adelay` in the player, not in the audio file. The engine needs no change and can keep its
+  5–10 ms edge fades.
+- **Voice declarations**: list only usable IDs in `VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES`. Veskslop hides the
+  espeak list while a custom command is set, so a missing declaration means an empty voice list,
+  not a fallback. The list accepts commas or newlines. Optional flags: `no-pitch` (hide the pitch
+  control) and `expression` / `expression=NN` (show the Expression slider and use NN as its
+  default).
+- **Flextalk pitch**: works now that the speaker registry values are `REG_DWORD`; no flag is
+  needed and Veskslop shows pitch for Keith Bell and Kerry Watson.
+- **Expression profile**: implemented for the Flextalk voices. Veskslop stores `tts.expression`
+  (0-100, nullable), sends it per line (`{expression}` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_EXPRESSION` / the HTTP body),
+  and shows the slider only for voices flagged `expression=NN`. A null value leaves the registry
+  untouched, so the voice keeps its engine default.
+- **Licensing**: keep the engine DLLs and voice data local and out of any repository; Veskslop
+  never bundles or redistributes them.
+
+## Current integration path (Veskslop side, 2026-09-15)
+
+Everything below is implemented. The engine stays unchanged; the wrapper and the daemon do the work.
+
+### Voice metadata
+
+`VESKSLOP_TTS_VOICES` entries may carry flags after the language field:
+
+    id|Name|gender|language|flags
+
+Flags are `+`-separated:
+
+- `no-pitch` - hide the pitch control for this voice.
+- `expression=NN` - Flextalk profile voice; NN is the default Expression value.
+- `defaults=pitch:27:rate:33:prominences:17:head_size:46:lowering:40:expression:59` -
+  per-voice engine defaults. The UI shows "default" at these values and snaps to them
+  within +/-2 units.
+
+### Wrapper contract (`microslopsam/setup/veskslop-tts.sh`)
+
+Inputs: `{out}`, `{text_file}`, optional positional voice/speed/pitch/expression, and:
+
+| Env | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `VESKSLOP_TTS_PROFILE` | `pitch:27:...`/`key=value,...` overrides; the wrapper writes the full profile (defaults + overrides) to the Wine registry with `wine reg import` before every synthesis. |
+| `VESKSLOP_TTS_HIGHPASS` | High-pass Hz, 40-400 (default 40). |
+| `VESKSLOP_TTS_ECHO` | Mono echo 0-100 (`aecho`), default 0. The echo is mixed under the dry voice, so the voice level does not change. |
+| `VESKSLOP_TTS_ECHO_DELAY_MS` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_ECHO_LEVEL` | Echo delay 10-400 ms (default 60) and repeat level 0-0.95 relative to the dry voice (default 0.85). |
+| `VESKSLOP_TTS_CRUNCH` | `off` (default) or `hl90`, `hl90hq`, `telephone`, `adpcm`, `crush`: 1990s lossy character, applied last. |
+| `VESKSLOP_TTS_CRUNCH_BITS` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_CRUNCH_RATE` | Bit depth 1-16 and sample rate 4000-48000 overrides for the crunch stage. |
+| `VESKSLOP_TTS_STREAM` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_STREAM_GAIN_DB` | `1` = word mode writes the WAV as it goes (no measurement pass); fixed gain in dB for that path. |
+| `VESKSLOP_TTS_WORDS` / `VESKSLOP_TTS_WORD_GAP_MS` | Word-by-word synthesis with silence gaps (Flextalk only). |
+
+Placeholders `{profile}`, `{highpass}`, `{echo}`, `{echo_delay_ms}`, `{echo_level}`,
+`{words}`, `{word_gap_ms}`, `{crunch}`, `{crunch_bits}`, `{crunch_rate}`, `{stream}`,
+`{vox}`, `{vox_clean}`, `{preset}` mirror the env vars.
+`wine regedit` fails headlessly but returns 0: use `wine reg import`. A missing profile value
+must always write the engine default so no stale registry state survives.
+
+### Daemon and UI path
+
+1. Preferences (`tts`): `profile` (changed keys only), `profilePresets` (5 named slots),
+   `highpass`, `echo`, `words`, `wordGapMs`, plus `speed`, `pitch`, `expression`, `voice`.
+2. `/api/audio/speak` and MCP `speak` accept all of them per line; the request overrides the
+   preferences and empty fields are omitted so the engine default applies.
+3. The TTS panel opens the **Flextalk voice profile** window (movable, recentered on open) with
+   profile sliders, named presets, radio-kit controls, and test lines (Attention, Laboratory,
+   Critical, Health, Radiation, plus two persisted custom lines). Test buttons post the same
+   options as `speak`, so they audition the current profile.
+
+### Known pitfalls
+
+- The daemon runs from `tsx`: restart it after protocol, preference, or metadata changes.
+- Static web files can be cached; hard-reload the browser after UI changes.
+- `Number(null)` is 0: preference normalizers must treat null/undefined/"" as unset.
+- The renderer log spam on a dead client is throttled in the bridge; background polls fail with
+  `CORE_UNAVAILABLE` and retry.
+- Generate the Flextalk profile `.reg` with `printf`, never `echo`: dash's `echo` interprets
+  `\2` in `...\Watson\2.0\...` as an escape (0x02), so the key is corrupted and
+  `wine reg import` becomes a silent no-op (it still returns 0). The wrapper now rejects a
+  generated profile that contains control characters. This was the 2026-09-15 profile bug.

+   Veskslop icons — Phosphor geometry.
+
+   Replaces the hand-drawn 16-unit set. Three things change:
+
+   1. Grid. Phosphor draws on 256 units; the old set drew on 16, so curves
+      were quantised to half-pixels and the mic, gear and camera all had
+      visibly different optical weights from each other.
+   2. Terminals. Round caps and joins throughout, as Phosphor regular.
+   3. Stroke. Held at a constant ~1.35 device pixels whatever the render
+      size, instead of a fixed 1.3 unit stroke that thickened as icons grew.
+      A 44px icon and a 13px icon now read as the same weight of line.
+
+   The API is unchanged — VK.icon(name, size) and VK.iconEl(name, size) —
+   and every previous name still resolves, so nothing needs editing to
+   adopt this. New names are listed at the bottom.
+
+   If you would rather ship the real Phosphor set, swap this file for
+   @phosphor-icons/web and keep VK.icon as a thin wrapper; the names below
+   are Phosphor's own, so the mapping is one to one.
