Volume goes to eleven (0–11 scale, gong feedback, mute), a voice command
service that handles volume/mute without the LLM, and an immediate butler
filler line with a spinner during the Tatlock wait.

Tatlock turns take 10-25s, which is a long silence after a request. Speak
a canned "Let me check on that for you, sir" immediately (synthesized once
and cached), then re-assert the thinking state so the device keeps its
effort-face spinner up until the real reply arrives. On the device, guard
the playback-done handler so the filler audio finishing doesn't drop the
spinner back to idle.

Recognize simple device commands in the transcript and act on them without
a Tatlock round-trip. commands.match() maps volume up/down, mute/unmute,
"set volume to N", and "goes to eleven"/max to a "command" message sent
straight to the device; the utterance never reaches the LLM. Matching is
deliberately precise so real requests ("set an alarm for a quarter to
eleven") are not hijacked. Adds the "command" message to the device
protocol in docs/architecture.md.

Stops the RuntimeError spam ('Cannot call receive once a disconnect
message has been received') every time the device's watchdog reboots.
Redeployed to the tatlock-ui stack.

- gateway: GET /devices registry (per-IP connect count, timestamps,
device/fw from new 'hello' protocol event); graceful utterance
errors -> error event; uvicorn ws-ping-timeout 120s
- firmware: hello on WS connect; static 192.168.86.53 fallback after
15s without DHCP; scan-on-boot removed (kept for diagnostics);
ping_interval 8s; fonts regenerated --no-compress (compressed
glyphs render blank with LV_USE_FONT_COMPRESSED off); 8MB factory
partition; montserrat_28; LVGL lock timeout semantics fixed
- docs: sauron endpoint plan, power ladder, versioning policy
Known issue: 'Outside' AP association succeeds but no L2 traffic
flows (no DHCP, no ARP) — worked once at 22:05 then never again;
ToJ side verified clean. Investigation ongoing.

Live smoke test showed /v1/chat/completions replies open with the
Steward's <think> block (Open WebUI convention) — without stripping,
the device would speak the internal monologue aloud.

Settles the Python version question: floor >=3.11, no ceiling.
Container moves to python:3.13-slim, CI tests on 3.13. The embedded
Piper fallback resamples with numpy (already present via [speech]).
Verified with a live round trip at 16 kHz.

- Face: new 'rage' state — 3-frame kaomoji loop (stare, flip the table,
put it back) for in-flight request failures; 'error' stays the quiet
persistent face for a dead link. Sim + artifact + design doc updated.
- Gateway: stt.py/tts.py are now pluggable backends. Default 'speaches'
talks OpenAI-format HTTP to the live container on :8601
(faster-whisper-small STT, Kokoro bm_george TTS with 24->16 kHz
audioop resample); 'embedded' fallback kept behind the [speech] extra.
Verified with a live TTS->STT round trip (warm: STT 0.27s, TTS 1.9s).
Docker image is now slim (no CUDA/ML deps). Python pinned to 3.12
(system 3.8 too old, audioop gone in 3.13).
- CI: .gitea/workflows/build.yml — lint+test on main pushes; on v* tags
test, build gateway image, push to registry, release, and trigger
Watchtower (tatlock pattern; needs REGISTRY_USER/REGISTRY_PASSWORD/
WATCHTOWER_TOKEN secrets). Runtime stack in deploy/desklock-gateway.yml.
- architecture.md: measured speech latencies, deployed-Speaches status,
CI & deployment section.

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
