# 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, with my approval; the remote URL lives in `.git/config`, kept out of source. Work on `main` — don't create feature branches unless I ask.
- 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`. A **second rewrite the same day** purged two backend LAN IPs that had slipped into a docs/test commit, replacing them with RFC 5737 documentation IPs (`192.0.2.1`/`192.0.2.2`) and force-pushing; 0 hits across refs; backup bundle `../ten31-transcripts-pre-ip-scrub.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. Offline backend checks: a `.local` mDNS host can't be resolved by a plain `swiftc`/URLSession binary (`-1009`) — use the **real app** or `curl`; but a **configured raw IP _is_ reachable from a plain swiftc URLSession binary** (that's how the TLS fix was verified offline).
- Never force-push a shared branch, and never push without my approval. (Work on `main` — don't create feature branches unless I ask.)

## Current state
Present tense; overwritten each session. `main` clean and pushed; 73 tests pass; `/Applications/Ten31Transcripts.app` is built from HEAD. A 2026-06-13 independent eval → `EVALUATION.md`; its only P1 (TLS) is fixed, the rest are P2/P3 in `ROADMAP.md` (full evidence in `EVALUATION.md`).
- **Backend now connected end-to-end (2026-06-16):** the user entered their real LAN backend URL in Settings → SparkControl backend and the app connected — transcription/analysis is reachable. The prior "not connected" symptom was just the saved value still being the `your-spark-backend.local` placeholder.
- **Working:** backend hand-off (now live), call detection (Meet/Zoom/Teams/Signal), dual-track capture, dual-channel + chunked send, speaker reconciliation, recap (`transcript.md` + `recap.html`), speaker editor, configurable chunk length, standalone Settings.
- **Settings save confirmed (2026-06-16):** the "Base URL" field is bound to `AppSettings.backendBaseURL`, persisted to UserDefaults on every change via `didSet` — entirely off-repo (`~/Library/Preferences/xyz.ten31.transcripts.plist`), so the real LAN URL there never touches source/git; the committed default stays the placeholder. Check the saved value with `defaults read xyz.ten31.transcripts backendBaseURL`.
- **Next up (start here): backend URL primary→fallback.** App still has a single `backendBaseURL` and no fallback. (1) primary→fallback on connection failure + show which endpoint is live; (2) freebie: the `mmss()` NaN/∞ guard. Sketch before coding. Keep real IPs out of source — use `192.0.2.x` placeholders.
- **In progress / unverified:** the Meet visual fix (reject solid camera-off tiles) has no clean end-to-end run yet — validate by re-processing the saved Meet session and recording a fresh Meet call (needs the real app + backend; not doable offline).
- **Known bugs:** sparse Meet speaking-detection (faint blue border); sub-second junk "self" mic fragments; same person on desktop-mic vs phone doesn't unify by voiceprint.
