Grant Gilliam 3629dbdaaa Default TLS validation on; scope skip-TLS bypass to the configured host
The app shipped with certificate validation bypassed globally and on by
default — InsecureTrustDelegate trusted any cert from any host. That was
the evaluation's P1: anyone on the LAN could MITM call audio, transcripts,
and voiceprints.

The backend's Start9 cert already validates under normal system trust when
the StartOS Root CA is installed in the keychain (confirmed: URLSession
default validation returns 200 against the backend and its fallback), so the
bypass is unnecessary:
- skip-TLS now defaults to off
- when explicitly enabled, the bypass is scoped to the configured host via
  InsecureTrustDelegate.allowsTrustOverride, never "trust any server"
- the host gate is pure and unit-tested (InsecureTrustDelegateTests)

Docs reconciled: AGENTS.md backend/TLS line and Current state.

# AGENTS.md — Ten31 Transcripts
Native macOS **menu-bar app** that detects video calls, records dual-track audio + watches the call window for active-speaker cues, and sends audio + a visual timeline to a self-hosted **SparkControl** backend that does transcription/diarization/naming — producing named transcripts and recaps.
## Stack (versions that matter)
- **Swift 5.0**, **SwiftUI** + AppKit, macOS **13.0** deployment target. `LSUIElement` (menu-bar only, no Dock icon).
- Project is generated by **XcodeGen** from `project.yml` (`brew install xcodegen`). `*.xcodeproj` is **gitignored** — regenerate, don't edit.
- Full Xcode lives at `/Applications/Xcode.app`, but `xcode-select` points at CommandLineTools → **set `DEVELOPER_DIR` for every `xcodebuild`**.
- Bundle id `xyz.ten31.transcripts`; `DEVELOPMENT_TEAM` (Apple Team ID) is set in a **gitignored `Config/Signing.xcconfig`** (copy `Config/Signing.xcconfig.example` and set your team). Keep it stable — a constant signing identity is what preserves TCC grants across rebuilds.
- Backend: SparkControl gateway at `$SPARK_BACKEND_URL` (a private LAN backend — IP or `.local` host; Start9 self-signed cert. Install the StartOS Root CA in the System keychain so normal TLS validation succeeds; skip-TLS is an opt-in, **host-scoped** escape hatch, **off by default** — see `InsecureTrustDelegate`). Resolution order: a value saved in **Settings → SparkControl backend** (UserDefaults) wins, else the `SPARK_BACKEND_URL` env var, else the placeholder default in `AppSettings.swift`. Diarization = Sortformer/TitaNet (**mono-only**, ~4 speakers/chunk); LLM = Qwen3 via OpenAI-compatible `/v1/chat/completions`; audio via `/api/audio/label-merge`.
## Commands
First time on a machine — create the local signing config (else `xcodegen generate`/signing won't find a team):
```
cp Config/Signing.xcconfig.example Config/Signing.xcconfig # then set DEVELOPMENT_TEAM
```
Regenerate the Xcode project (after adding/removing/renaming any source file):
```
xcodegen generate
```
Build + run all tests:
```
DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer xcodebuild test \
-project Ten31Transcripts.xcodeproj -scheme Ten31Transcripts \
-destination 'platform=macOS' -derivedDataPath /tmp/ten31-dd
```
Run a **single** test (target/class/method):
```
DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer xcodebuild test \
-project Ten31Transcripts.xcodeproj -scheme Ten31Transcripts \
-destination 'platform=macOS' -derivedDataPath /tmp/ten31-dd \
-only-testing:Ten31TranscriptsTests/SpeakerReconcilerTests/testCosine
```
Build only: replace `test` with `build`. **Lint/format:** none configured (no SwiftLint/SwiftFormat/Makefile); adding one is tracked in `ROADMAP.md`.
Build a standalone app and install/run it (Xcode does **not** need to stay open):
```
DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer xcodebuild \
-project Ten31Transcripts.xcodeproj -scheme Ten31Transcripts \
-configuration Release -derivedDataPath /tmp/ten31-release build
ditto /tmp/ten31-release/Build/Products/Release/Ten31Transcripts.app /Applications/Ten31Transcripts.app
open /Applications/Ten31Transcripts.app
```
**Fast validation harness** (preferred for visual/backend logic): compile the specific `Ten31Transcripts/**.swift` files plus a `main.swift` with `xcrun --sdk macosx swiftc -O ... main.swift -o x` and run against real fixtures (`example-screenshots/`) or saved sessions. Top-level code must live in the file literally named `main.swift`.
## Layout (day one)
- `Ten31Transcripts/App/``@main` entry + `AppDelegate`.
- `Ten31Transcripts/Session/``SessionController` (state machine), `TranscriptPipeline`, `SessionPackager` (chunking), `TranscriptAssembler`, `SpeakerReconciler`, `ChunkPlan` (`ChunkMode`), `SpeakersFile`.
- `Ten31Transcripts/Visual/``VisualCapture`/`VisualObserver` (ScreenCaptureKit, ~3fps), `GridCallAnalyzer` (+ `FrameSampler`, `TextRecognizer`, `TimelineBuilder`, `VisualTimeline`, `SpeakerObservation`).
- `Ten31Transcripts/Adapters/` — per-app screen-readers (`MeetAdapter`, `ZoomAdapter`, `TeamsAdapter`, `SignalAdapter`) + `AdapterRegistry`.
- `Ten31Transcripts/Audio/``AudioRecorder`, `MicVAD`, `ChannelSelfVAD`.
- `Ten31Transcripts/Backend/``SparkControlClient`, `GatewayLLMClient`, `VoiceprintStore`, `SparkControlHealth`, `InsecureTrustDelegate` (TLS skip).
- `Ten31Transcripts/Recap/``RecapAnalyzer`, `RecapRenderer` (writes `transcript.md` + `recap.html`), `RecapModels`, `RecapTemplate`, `SpeakerEditing`, `RecapEditModel`.
- `Ten31Transcripts/{Detection,Permissions,Settings,UI,Support}/``CallDetector`; `PermissionsManager`; `AppSettings` (UserDefaults); SwiftUI views + AppKit window hosts; `Info.plist` + entitlements.
- `Ten31TranscriptsTests/` — XCTest. `example-screenshots/` — real fixtures (gitignored). `docs/`, `README.md`.
- **Runtime output** (default `~/Ten31Transcripts/sessions/<ts>_<app>/`, configurable in Settings): `mic.wav`, `system.wav`, `mixed_mono_16k.wav`, `self_vad.json`, `visual_timeline.json`, `speakers.json` (output), `cluster_fingerprints.json`, `recap.{html,json}`, `transcript.md`.
## Conventions
- Match the surrounding file's style; small reviewable diffs; comments explain **why**, not what.
- Write/extend XCTest alongside non-trivial changes; pure logic (chunking, reconciliation, analyzer math) is unit-tested offline.
- Commits: imperative mood, concise; authored by Grant. Push to the self-hosted Gitea remote `origin` (branch `main`, over SSH) after committing; the remote URL lives in `.git/config`, kept out of source. Branch before committing; never commit to `main` without asking.
- Never commit recordings, transcripts, screenshots, or the generated `*.xcodeproj`.
- No API keys/tokens/passwords in the repo. The backend host (`$SPARK_BACKEND_URL`) and the Apple Team ID (`Config/Signing.xcconfig`, gitignored) are kept out of source — real values live in Settings/UserDefaults and the local xcconfig. Build env vars: `DEVELOPER_DIR` (required) and optional `SPARK_BACKEND_URL`.
- **Git history scrubbed (2026-06-13):** the private backend host + LAN IP were purged from all commits via `git filter-repo` (replaced with the `your-spark-backend.local` placeholder) and force-pushed; 0 hits across refs. Pre-rewrite backup bundle: `../ten31-transcripts-prehistory-rewrite.bundle`. The Apple Team ID was intentionally **not** scrubbed (it's public in every signed binary) — don't re-flag it.
## Always
- Set `DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer` on every `xcodebuild`.
- Run `xcodegen generate` after adding/removing/renaming source files.
- Treat the backend as the owner of transcription, diarization, and speaker naming; the app only records, watches, packages, and reconciles hints.
- Identify **self by the mic channel** + the single name in Settings → Your name, and keep that name reserved so the LLM never assigns it to another speaker.
- Treat visual active-speaker cues as **naming hints over audio diarization** (the backbone): prefer sparse-but-correct detection over dense-but-wrong.
- Send the backend dual-channel (`mic_file` + `system_file`) when the system track is healthy, else the mono `mixed_mono_16k.wav`; keep backend calls **sequential** (one in flight).
- After any code change, rebuild Release + `ditto` to `/Applications` — the installed copy does **not** auto-update.
## Never
- **Never write video frames to disk** — analyze in-memory and release immediately (privacy non-negotiable).
- **Never add Co-Authored-By / "Generated with" / any AI or tool attribution** to commits or PRs.
- Never commit secrets, recordings, transcripts, or `example-screenshots/` (faces + contact names).
- Never do per-platform display-name matching for self (Zoom/Meet/Signal names differ) — channel + one canonical name only.
- Never treat a solid camera-off avatar tile (Meet's orange/magenta fill) as an active speaker — the real cue is a thin **hollow** coloured ring; require thin-edge + hue gate (see `GridCallAnalyzer.isHollow`, `FrameSampler.thinColoredPoints`).
- Never collapse adjacent same-speaker transcript segments (reverted by request) — one line per diarized utterance.
- Never send call audio to a raw IP the user didn't configure. The backend host (`$SPARK_BACKEND_URL`) is a private `.local` mDNS name a plain `swiftc` binary can't resolve via URLSession (`-1009`) — use the **real app** for backend runs (or `curl` for health checks).
- Never commit to `main` or force-push a shared branch; branch first and ask.
## Current state
Present tense; overwritten each session. 73 tests pass; `/Applications/Ten31Transcripts.app` matches HEAD and runs; working tree clean and pushed to `origin`/`main`. A full independent evaluation ran 2026-06-13 → `EVALUATION.md` (committed at repo root; overwritten + re-committed each run for a reviewable diff); its findings are triaged into the lists below. The eval's P1 (TLS) is now **fixed** and verified against the live backend.
- **Working:** call detection (Meet/Zoom/Teams/Signal), dual-track capture, dual-channel + chunked backend hand-off, speaker reconciliation, recap (`transcript.md` + recap-relay-styled `recap.html`), speaker editor, configurable chunk length, standalone Settings window.
- **In progress:** the Meet visual fix (reject solid camera-off tiles) is unverified end-to-end — no clean run exists yet; the saved Meet session's `visual_timeline.json` predates the fix.
- **Done this session (was eval P1):** TLS validation is now **on by default** and the skip-TLS escape hatch is **scoped to the configured host** (`InsecureTrustDelegate.allowsTrustOverride`, covered by `InsecureTrustDelegateTests`). Supported path = the StartOS Root CA trusted in the System keychain; verified `URLSession` default validation returns 200 against both `192.0.2.1` and the `192.0.2.2` fallback.
- **Work queue (next up):** wire the backend URL + primary→fallback into config. Today it's a single `backendBaseURL` with no fallback logic, and on this Mac no value is saved (so it resolves to the `your-spark-backend.local` placeholder); the real setup is primary `https://192.0.2.1:62419` → fallback `https://192.0.2.2:62419`.
- **Known debt (P2 — fix before wider use):**
- `RecapAnalyzer.mmss()` fatally crashes on NaN/∞ (reproduced 2×); a malformed/MITM'd backend `duration` (e.g. `1e400``Double.infinity`) aborts the app at recap-render time — add a finite-guard fallback (`RecapAnalyzer.swift:137`).
- README is stale by six phases — still says "Phase 0 (scaffold) / no audio capture, detection, or backend hand-off yet" for a shipped Phase-6 app; same lie in source comment `AppSettings.swift:7`; and `README.md:49` still calls skip-TLS "on by default" (now off). Rewrite to match reality.
- `SessionController` (670 lines, the most concurrency-dense file) has zero unit tests — cover `pendingAutoStop` (auto-start-then-immediate-call-end) and the visual-adoption generation guard before any refactor.
- **Deferred (P3 — later decision or bulk cleanup; full evidence in `EVALUATION.md`):** `docs/` specs drifted from the dual-channel API + recap phase; `docs/01` §7 lists already-resolved open items; `docs/02` §2.10 claims MenuBarUI features that don't exist; AGENTS.md Layout listings under `Audio/`/`Detection/` are incomplete; the `manifest.json` sha256 contract is specced but never written; env-var precedence footgun (saved URL shadows `SPARK_BACKEND_URL`); `SessionController` owns three jobs (extract the open-panel UI); unused `NSAppleEventsUsageDescription`; unauthenticated LAN backend (consider a shared bearer token).
- **Known bugs:** Meet speaking-detection is sparse (faint blue border); the mic channel emits some sub-second junk "self" fragments; the same person on desktop-mic vs phone-speakerphone does not unify by voiceprint.
- **Next (product validation — no agent could reach the live backend, so this stays manual):** (1) re-process the saved Meet session in the app, then read its `speakers.json` + `cluster_fingerprints.json` to confirm ~4 speakers recover; (2) record a fresh Meet call to validate the visual fix on a clean capture. (The old "confirm Your name = Grant" item is moot — the committed default is the generic `"Me"`; "Grant" only ever lives in local UserDefaults.)
