## Purpose

Voice-enabled test channel for conversations with Hermes/Jarvis.

## Voice attribution and responsiveness

- Multiple people can join and speak in this voice session.
- Incoming transcribed speech may be labeled as RootAtSkic even when another participant is speaking.
- On 2026-07-28, Linas and Martynas joined and spoke to Jarvis, but Jarvis incorrectly treated their turns as Lego/RootAtSkic.
- Do not assume the session-level user ID identifies the speaker of every voice-transcribed turn.
- When speaker identity materially matters and is not explicit, infer from the conversation carefully or ask who is speaking.
- In a live voice conversation, acknowledge a request immediately before loading skills or calling tools.
- If processing may take more than a brief moment, tell the person or group what is being checked and that it may take a little longer.
- Give short progress updates during extended work rather than leaving participants in silence.
- Treat long runs of identical phrases such as repeated “I'm sorry” as probable STT/transcription loops; acknowledge the likely glitch without treating every repetition as intentional.
- Root cause confirmed on 2026-07-28: the local Whisper-compatible STT endpoint intermittently emitted 614- and 472-character repeated “I'm sorry” decoder loops from Discord voice audio. Silence/noise retests returned empty transcripts, so the failure is intermittent.
- Profile-local plugin `/opt/data/plugins/voice-improvements/` is enabled. It adds generic repeated-phrase rejection (four or more repetitions covering at least 80% of words) and progressive Discord TTS.
- Progressive TTS splits long responses at sentence/word boundaries into at most four chunks (target 380 characters), synthesizes them sequentially in a worker, and plays each chunk as soon as ready. Real Piper verification produced 3 non-empty chunks; first ready in 1.4 seconds, all complete in 4.5 seconds.
- The plugin activates after the Hermes gateway/session is restarted.
- Activity-based presence is configured for voice channel `1518735773657206835` (`jarvis-jr-test-001`) linked to text channel `1518733120831226028`. Jarvis auto-joins when a human enters or is already present at gateway startup, stays while humans remain, and auto-leaves 30 seconds after the last human departs. A rejoin during the grace period cancels the leave. Core `/voice join` and `/voice leave` remain available as manual controls.
