- sim/face/index.html: browser simulator of the 800x800 round panel with
six states (idle/listening/pensive/effort/speaking/error), state-driven
rain density, blink/talk/thought animations, idle clock
- effort state gets hard-required wait cues: orbiting bezel arc, elapsed
counter, max rain (Tatlock turns run 10-25s)
- rain driven by setInterval, not rAF: renders under the screenshot
tool's --virtual-time-budget and mirrors LVGL lv_timer
- architecture.md: Face design contract (state table, protocol mapping,
LVGL port notes) + latency table updated to GPU-era benchmarks
(Steward ~6s warm, full flow 11-25s; old CPU-era figures retired)

- STT/TTS move to a shared Speaches container (OpenAI-format, GPU, port
8601 proposed); gateway becomes a thin orchestrator with pluggable
speech backends (speaches default, embedded fallback)
- Record the on-device ceiling: WakeNet wake word, VAD, ES7210 AEC,
optional MultiNet fixed commands; open-vocabulary STT permanently out
- Record the real latency bottleneck (Tatlock ~2 min full local flow):
gateway must stream chat tokens and synthesize sentence-by-sentence
- Plan reply_delta + barge-in protocol additions

DeskLock gives the Tatlock butler a face and voice on a Waveshare
ESP32-P4-WIFI6-Touch-LCD-3.4C round display in the living room.
- firmware/: ESP-IDF project targeting esp32p4 with the Waveshare XC BSP
- gateway/: FastAPI voice bridge (faster-whisper STT, Tatlock chat, Piper TTS)
- docs/architecture.md: component design and device<->gateway WS protocol
