Timeline
- (Context) Continued a follow-up session focused on completing provider-backed voice flow and consolidating project status.
- (Action) Added and wired provider-backed voice components across local RAG service, CLI serve configuration, and reader behavior.
- (Action) Fixed reader integration gaps so saving RAG settings reinitializes voice capability detection.
- (Action) Updated documentation for voice serve flags and voice API endpoints.
- (Action) Ran compile checks, unit tests, reader script parsing checks, and live voice endpoint smoke tests.
- (Observation) Validation confirmed provider capability reporting and successful provider TTS audio payload generation.
- (Action) Updated roadmap documentation to explicitly mark completed vs in-progress vs next work.
Context
- This was a continuation pass to close integration and validation gaps after initial provider-backed voice implementation.
- No same-date dev diary entry was found in the current workspace, so this entry records the full delta for today.
Actions
- Implemented provider-backed voice backend support in local RAG service logic, including capability introspection and payload handling.
- Exposed voice service routes for provider/capability discovery, voice listing, TTS synthesis, and STT transcription.
- Extended CLI serve options to configure TTS provider/voice/rate and STT provider/model.
- Integrated reader voice flow to prefer provider-backed TTS/STT when API is configured, with browser fallback behavior retained.
- Patched reader save flow so applying RAG settings also refreshes voice tool capability state.
- Fixed minor reader script formatting regressions introduced during iterative patching.
- Updated README usage content with voice-enabled serve command examples and documented
/voice/*endpoints. - Updated roadmap content with explicit delivery status groupings and phase status tags.
- Executed Python compile checks across core modules, full test suite run, reader inline script parse check, and local API smoke tests.
Observations
- Provider-backed TTS flow validated successfully with non-empty audio payload output.
- Reader capability refresh behavior is now aligned with runtime endpoint changes after settings save.
- Current project workspace did not expose a separate dev-diary schema config file; topic values were kept concise and taxonomy-consistent with existing module language.
- Core validation stack is stable after recent changes, with all local tests passing in this run.
Open Threads
- Complete provider-backed STT production path and UX hardening (including model/setup guidance).
- Implement richer citation UX in chat, including stronger page/chapter jump affordances and spoken citation callouts.
- Extend access policy from baseline checks to issuance, revocation, and audit flows.
- Add cross-device sync for annotations and reading progress.
Boundary Reminder:
Seeds. No maintenance. No roadmap.
