scaffold: M0 skeleton + agent onboarding (build, architecture, progress)
Turn the design into a buildable, dependency-free M0 skeleton plus the
onboarding layer so a new agent can pick up instantly.
Build system:
- CMake + CMakePresets (dev = no deps; server-release = vcpkg) + vcpkg.json
- Skeleton builds with just a C++20 compiler; deps stay off until needed
- .gitattributes (LF), .gitignore, .clang-format
Core (libvoicecat):
- core/include/voicecat.h: full C ABI (the client/server contract), stubbed
- core/proto/voicecat.proto: control-plane wire format, matches docs/protocol.md
- src/{net,crypto,codec,protocol,session,audio,core}: subsystem stubs that
return VC_ERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED, each pointing to its design doc
- server/ (voicecat-server) and tools/vccli/ link the core
- tests/: CTest smoke test asserting the C ABI contract (behavior, not just build)
- clients/{apple,windows}: M4 placeholders
Onboarding for agents:
- CLAUDE.md: hub — build/test commands, architecture at a glance, doc map, rules
- AGENTS.md: working method (behavior-driven; clean compile is the floor not the goal)
- PROGRESS.md: living tracker — M0 done, M1 task checklist, "where we left off"
Verified: cmake --preset dev && cmake --build --preset dev && ctest --preset dev → green.

feat(M1): TCP/TLS control plane -- auth, channels, ephemeral text
Implements the full M1 milestone. Two clients authenticate over TLS 1.3
(guest + Argon2id password) and exchange channel + private text messages
through a real server. All five ctest --preset m1-dev tests pass in ~1 s.
Key components added:
- vcpkg baseline + m1-dev preset (protobuf/mbedTLS/libsodium/asio/sqlite3)
- FrameCodec feed+emit, encode/decode_envelope, protobuf codegen
- TcpServerConn with blocking TLS handshake thread + tls_read_loop
- TlsContext (mbedTLS 1.3, ECDSA-P256 self-signed cert, TOFU on client)
- WorkerPool (3 threads, used for Argon2id)
- Database: SQLite + libsodium Argon2id, account lifecycle, bootstrap admin
- ServerIdentityManager: Ed25519 key + cert generate/persist/fingerprint
- ConnSession state machine: WaitingHello -> WaitingAuth -> Authenticated
- SessionRegistry: channel tree, user map, text routing, broadcast
- vc_client full M1 C ABI: connect/TLS/handshake/auth/text/disconnect
- voicecat-admin CLI: account add/reset/del/list
- test_m1_integration: M1 exit criterion, verified green
Bug fixed: double-framing in ConnSession::send_envelope -- encode_envelope
was adding the [4-byte len] prefix, then TcpServerConn::send_frame added
a second one, causing the client to parse [len][proto] as protobuf (silent
failure). Fixed by serializing raw protobuf bytes in send_envelope and
letting send_frame apply the single length prefix.
