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.

Mirrors the Windows client's UI overhaul (commit 97fa659 + 540ec13) adapted to
Mac-native conventions. The main window is now just toolbar + channels + users
+ chat; audio device settings moved to a modeless Settings window.
- NSToolbar: Join Voice, Share Screen Audio, Mute, Deafen (SF Symbol toggle
buttons) + Output Volume slider (NSSlider 0-100, default 80). Voice actions,
mute/deafen, and output volume moved out of the bottom panel into the toolbar
- Audio device settings (input mode, VAD sensitivity, PTT key, device picker,
level meter) moved to a new SettingsWindowController -- a modeless window
opened via the app menu's "Settings..." (Cmd+,) item. Source-of-truth for
audio state lives in MainWindowController so voice start applies settings even
before the window has been opened; SettingsWindowController reads from /
writes back to those properties and applies changes live when voice is active.
Level meter forwarded from handleLevel -> updateLevel(rms:)
- Unified log: chat NSTextView + activity NSTableView collapsed into a single
NSTextView -- activity events in secondaryLabelColor (gray), chat in default
- Private messaging: scope dropdown removed; compose always sends to the
current channel. Each PM conversation opens in its own modeless
PrivateMessageWindowController. Incoming .textMessage with .private scope
routed to the right window; outgoing PMs echoed by server arrive through the
same path. "Send Private Message..." added to user context menu.
- Messages menu: "New Private Message..." (Cmd+Shift+N) opens a UserPickerSheet
listing all server users so you can PM anyone on the server
- Channel tree now shows live user counts, e.g. "General (3)"; refreshChannelTree
called on .userJoined/.userLeft (was missing)
- Voice menu: Join Voice (Cmd+Shift+V), Share Screen Audio (Cmd+Shift+S),
Mute (Cmd+Shift+M), Deafen (Cmd+Shift+D) -- NSMenuItem key equivalents with
[.command, .shift] mask, dispatched by the responder chain
- setOutputVolume(_:) wrapper added to VoiceCatClient.swift (was missing -- the
C ABI + C# wrapper shipped in commit 97fa659 but the Swift wrapper was never
added); wired end-to-end: toolbar slider -> client.setOutputVolume(gain)
Part A -- fixed and verified the previously-uncompiled Swift from the external
PCM feed/tap commit (615d2a8):
- Rebuilt the macOS xcframework slice (regenerated the module map from current
voicecat.h, exposing vc_pcm_sink_cb / vc_stream_feed_pcm / vc_set_pcm_sink)
- Fixed feedPcm type bug: size_t imports as Int in Swift not UInt; the original
UInt(samplesPerChannel) was wrong
- Added VoiceCatPcmSinkCallback typealias -- a Swift-idiomatic public alias for
the C vc_pcm_sink_cb so consumers (tests, the macOS app) can declare a sink
callback without directly importing the VoiceCatC C module. Mirrors the C#
VcPcmSinkCallback delegate
- keyCodeName helper deduplicated (was in PttKeyCaptureSheet.swift +
MainWindowController.swift -- now shared)
Platform-specific adaptations (vs. Windows): NSToolbar instead of ToolStrip;
global menu bar + NSMenuItem key equivalents (Cmd not Ctrl, responder-chain
dispatched, no custom key monitor needed); PM windows as modeless NSWindows;
picker as Mac sheet; gray = secondaryLabelColor; SF Symbols for toolbar icons.
swift test 10/10 (4 ExternalPcmTests + 6 VoiceCatClientSmokeTests against a
live server); xcodebuild Debug + Release BUILD SUCCEEDED with 0 Swift warnings.
