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.
