[Unreleased]

[0.2.2] — 2026-07-19

Changed

• The gateway's default Tatlock URL is now http://tatlock:8000 (docker container name) — the retiring tatlock.schweitz.internal domain is gone from config and docs. Deployments setting DESKLOCK_TATLOCK_BASE_URL are unaffected.

[0.2.1] — 2026-07-15

Fixed

• A spoken volume command no longer leaves the face stuck in the thinking spinner — the feedback gong is a UI cue and no longer holds the busy state, so the return-to-idle isn't swallowed.
• The butler filler line reads as one phrase instead of two — reworded to "Let me check on that, sir." to avoid a text-to-speech pause before "for you".

[0.2.0] — 2026-07-15

Added

• After a request, the butler immediately says "Let me check on that for you, sir" and keeps a spinner up while it works, so the long wait isn't dead air.
• Spoken volume commands ("volume up/down", "mute/unmute", "set volume to N", "this one goes to eleven") are handled instantly on the gateway, bypassing the assistant — no waiting on a reply just to change the volume.
• Tap the screen to reveal on-screen controls — a microphone button plus volume down/up and a live level bar, using Phosphor icon glyphs. Tapping the dimmed backdrop dismisses them.

Fixed

• Fixed the blue-screen flicker during voice activity — the matrix rain now renders as cheap pre-rendered sprites, and the DSI clocks/FIFO are tuned, so the display's memory reads are no longer starved by Wi-Fi and audio DMA.

Changed

• Volume is now an 0–11 scale (it goes to eleven) with a gong cue on each change and a little "11" that floats off the bar at maximum.
• Matrix rain is drawn from a reused pool of pre-rendered streak sprites instead of live text labels, and eases off while the device is listening or speaking.
