# PROGRESS — VoiceCat

Living status. **Update this file in the same commit as your work** so the next agent picks
up instantly. Newest status at the top.

- **Date convention:** ISO (YYYY-MM-DD).
- Statuses: `[ ]` not started · `[~]` in progress · `[x]` done.

## ▶ Where we left off / next action

- **Done:** **M1 — control plane** ✓ complete (2026-06-15).
  `ctest --preset m1-dev` — all 5 tests green (smoke, frame_codec, envelope, tls_loopback,
  m1_integration). Two clients authenticate over TLS 1.3 and exchange channel + private text.
- **Next:** **M2 — voice, single stream**. First task: Opus encode/decode stub → real
  implementation; UDP socket + ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD media frame; jitter buffer.
  See `docs/voice.md` and `docs/roadmap.md §M2`.

## Milestones (see [docs/roadmap.md](docs/roadmap.md) for full detail)

- [x] **M0 — Scaffolding** ✓ complete
- [x] **M1 — Control plane** ✓ complete (2026-06-15)
- [~] **M2 — Voice, single stream** (UDP, Opus, jitter buffer, APM send-side, VAD/PTT) ← current
- [ ] **M3 — Multi-stream & per-channel tuning** (screen audio, listener-side per-user NR)
- [ ] **M4 — Native clients** (Windows C#, macOS/iOS Swift)
- [ ] **M5 — Moderation, polish, beyond** (perms, bans, DRED; then file transfer, E2EE, …)

---

## M0 — Scaffolding ✓ (completed)

- [x] Repo layout (`core/ server/ tools/ clients/ tests/`), CMake + presets, vcpkg manifest.
- [x] C ABI header `core/include/voicecat.h` (full surface, stubbed).
- [x] Protocol source-of-truth `core/proto/voicecat.proto` (matches docs/protocol.md).
- [x] Core stubs for all six subsystems (net/crypto/codec/protocol/session/audio) + `vc_client`.
- [x] `voicecat-server` (arg parsing, config, stub run) and `vccli` (drives the C ABI).
- [x] CTest **smoke test** asserting the C ABI contract (not just "it compiles").
- [x] `.gitattributes` (LF), `.gitignore`, `.clang-format`, onboarding docs.
- **Verified:** `cmake --preset dev && cmake --build --preset dev && ctest --preset dev` → green.

## M1 — Control plane ✓ (completed 2026-06-15)

**Exit criterion:** ✓ `test_m1_integration` — two clients authenticate over TLS 1.3 (guest
+ Argon2id password), exchange channel and private text messages. Passes in ~1 s.

- [x] vcpkg baseline + `m1-dev` preset; `find_package` for protobuf/mbedTLS/libsodium/asio/sqlite3.
- [x] `FrameCodec` feed + emit; `encode_envelope` / `decode_envelope`.
- [x] Asio TCP acceptor + `TcpServerConn` (TLS path: blocking handshake thread + `tls_read_loop`).
- [x] `TlsContext` (mbedTLS 1.3, server cert/identity, ECDSA-P256 self-signed, TOFU on client).
- [x] `WorkerPool` (3 threads, used for Argon2id).
- [x] `Database` — SQLite, Argon2id via libsodium, `create_account` / `authenticate` / bootstrap admin.
- [x] `voicecat-admin` — account add/reset/del/list against live DB file.
- [x] `ServerIdentityManager` — generate/persist Ed25519 key + cert; fingerprint display.
- [x] `ConnSession` — WaitingHello → WaitingAuth → Authenticated state machine; full protocol relay.
- [x] `SessionRegistry` — channel tree, user map, broadcast, text routing.
- [x] `vc_client` (`client.cpp`) — full M1 C ABI: connect/TLS/ClientHello/AuthRequest/text/disconnect.
- [x] `Server::run()` — io_context, acceptor, worker pool, signal handling, `on_ready` callback.
- [x] `test_m1_integration` — M1 exit criterion. Verified green 2026-06-15.

**Key bug fixed:** double-framing in `ConnSession::send_envelope` — `encode_envelope` was
pre-framing the protobuf, then `TcpServerConn::send_frame` re-framed it. Fixed by serializing
raw protobuf bytes directly and letting `send_frame` add the single `[4-byte len]` prefix.

## Decisions log

All architecture/scope decisions are settled and recorded in
[docs/roadmap.md §2 "Resolved decisions"](docs/roadmap.md) and reflected across `docs/`.
If you make a *new* decision, record it there and link it here.

## How to update this file

1. Check off tasks as you complete them; flip a milestone to `[x]` only when its **exit
   criterion test** passes.
2. Keep the **"Where we left off / next action"** block at the top accurate — it's the first
   thing the next agent reads.
3. When you start a milestone, copy its task list from `docs/roadmap.md` into a section here.
