feat(M4): Windows WinForms client, TOFU identity pinning, VAD threshold + always-on mode
Core ABI extensions (voicecat.h):
- vc_list_channels / vc_list_users / vc_list_user_streams — pull-based snapshot getters
for the channel-tree and user-list UI; session_model_mu_ guards cross-thread reads
- VC_EVENT_JOIN_RESULT / vc_join_channel — channel join with optional password
- VC_EVENT_SERVER_IDENTITY + vc_confirm_server_identity — TOFU gate that blocks io_thread_
until the UI approves or rejects; pins TLS leaf-cert SHA-256 (not declared Ed25519)
- vc_get_server_identity_display — Ed25519 fingerprint for human-readable display only
- VC_INPUT_ALWAYS_ON = 2 in vc_input_mode — transmit unconditionally, no VAD gate
- vc_set_vad_threshold — live RMS threshold update (0.0–1.0); EnergyVadProcessor stores
it atomically so the audio RT path reads without a lock
C++ implementation:
- SessionModel::apply_snapshot / apply_channel_event fixed to populate parent_id,
password_protected, and max_users (were permanently zeroed)
- TlsContext::peer_cert_fingerprint — SHA-256 of peer leaf cert DER via mbedTLS
- TofuStore split into peek (read-only) + pin (write) so first-connect only persists
after user approval; tofu_store_path in vc_config for per-user pin file location
- TcpAcceptor uses dual-stack IPv6+IPv4 fallback (fixes localhost → ::1 on Windows)
- windows-client CMake preset: Release shared DLL, static MinGW runtime, no tools/tests
- New C++ tests: test_channel_user_list_abi, test_tofu_flow (14/14 green)
Windows client (clients/windows/ — .NET 10 WinForms):
- VoiceCat.Interop: LibraryImport P/Invoke surface, UnmanagedCallersOnly callbacks,
Channel<VoiceCatEvent> event delivery drained by 30ms WinForms Timer
- VoiceCat.App: ConnectDialog (saved servers, DPAPI password storage), ServerIdentity-
Dialog (TOFU first-connect / mismatch warning), MainForm (channel TreeView, user
ListBox, RichTextBox chat, voice controls, device pickers, VAD/PTT/always-on mode,
per-user gain/mute/NR tuning, VAD sensitivity TrackBar, level meter ProgressBar)
- PttKeyCaptureDialog — focus-scoped PTT key capture (documented limitation)
- PerUserTuningDialog — real-time gain/mute/NR applied to all of a user's streams
- Accessibility: explicit AccessibleName/Description on every control, & mnemonics,
Activity log ListBox as durable screen-reader record, AutomationNotification for
curated live announcements

feat(clients): event sound effects + optional text-to-speech
Add audible cues and optional spoken announcements for session events
(join/leave, channel + PM sent/recv, login, logout/connection-lost,
mic on/off, voice-activity, PTT) across all three clients, driven off
the shared C ABI vc_event stream so the mapping stays consistent.
TTS is off by default; when enabled it announces events and reads
message/PM bodies aloud. Master toggles + a sound-volume slider; the
per-utterance voice-activity and PTT cues default off. WAVs ship from
assets/sounds/.
Windows (built + verified): new VoiceCat.App/Notifications/ layer
(FeedbackSettings -> %AppData%\VoiceCat\feedback.json, SoundPlayerPool
via System.Media.SoundPlayer, SpeechAnnouncer via Prismatoid 0.3.0,
EventFeedback dispatcher); MainForm hooks; NotificationSettingsForm
under Settings > Notifications; csproj adds the Prismatoid PackageRef
and copies the WAVs into sounds\.
macOS + iOS (written, not yet built -- needs a Mac): shared
VoiceCatCore/Feedback/ (SoundEvent, EventFeedback = AVAudioPlayer pool
+ native AVSpeechSynthesizer, FeedbackSettings over UserDefaults); WAVs
bundled via Package.swift resources (.process). Hooks in SessionState/
AppState (iOS) and MainWindowController (macOS); settings UI in
SettingsView (iOS) and SettingsWindowController (macOS).
No core/server code touched; ctest --preset dev unaffected.
