The previous "shipped" claim was false — xcodebuild had never been run and
the macOS app source was never committed. This commit adds the 17 Swift
source files + xcodeproj and fixes three real defect classes so Debug and
Release both build clean:
1. MainWindowController.swift compile errors:
- NSAccessibility.post arg order (element:notification:userInfo:)
- NSAccessibilityPriorityMedium -> NSAccessibilityPriorityLevel.medium
- StreamSummary.streamId -> .id (Identifiable conformance)
- drop redundant VoiceCatResult.description extension
2. Linker: add -lc++ to OTHER_LDFLAGS (libvoicecat-fat.a is C++20; pure-Swift
app target has no .cpp sources so libc++ wasn't pulled in — swift test
passed because Package.swift testTarget has linkerSettings: c++).
3. Release config: add ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=YES (XCFramework only has arm64).
Verified: clean Debug + Release builds, otool -L shows libc++.1.dylib,
nm shows _vc_client_create/_vc_version_string, app launches and runs.
macOS port groundwork — core, server, tools, and tests now build and run on
macOS 26.5 / Apple Silicon. ctest --preset dev green 21/21 (2 consecutive runs).
apple-dev produces valid arm64 libvoicecat.a + XCFramework for the Swift Package.
Three real cross-platform bugs found and fixed (all latent on Windows/Linux):
1. test_m2_voice.cpp POSIX branch missing <netdb.h> — Linux glibc transitively
includes it, macOS doesn't. Would fail on any strict POSIX system.
2. SIGPIPE killing processes on macOS — writing to a closed TCP socket raises
SIGPIPE by default (doesn't exist on Windows, benign on Linux). Fixed by
ignoring SIGPIPE in both core client init and server startup (POSIX-only,
#ifndef _WIN32). Production fix, not just tests.
3. Use-after-free of Asio's kqueue reactor on server shutdown — the
deterministic test_tofu_flow segfault. TcpServerConn's tls_read_loop runs on
a blocking-I/O thread; when Server::run() returned, io_context was destroyed
while those threads were still running. On macOS kqueue the reactor pointer
is null'd immediately -> segfault in socket.close(). Latent on Windows IOCP
and Linux epoll. Fix: TcpAcceptor now tracks connections; new shutdown()
closes all + joins threads before io is destroyed; Server::stop() now closes
acceptor + media_relay too (was just io.stop()).
Verified: dev + apple-dev presets build green, 21/21 tests pass, server starts
+ two vccli text chat over TLS (M1 on Mac), vccli --voice starts MIC stream via
CoreAudio (M2 protocol-level), vccli --list-devices enumerates CoreAudio
devices, xcodebuild -create-xcframework produces valid VoiceCatCore.xcframework.
No ABI or proto changes. Docs updated: building.md, clients/apple/README.md,
PROGRESS.md, CLAUDE.md status line.
Rationalize the preset set to match the project's actual state (past M5):
- Rename dev->skeleton (no-deps stub smoke), m1-dev->dev (default dev preset)
- Drop m2-dev (cache-identical to m1-dev)
- Add release preset (optimized + tests on, symbols kept)
- Strip server-release binaries (-s linker flag)
- Add apple-dev/apple-ios/apple-ios-sim scaffolding presets for XCFramework
Add cmake/voicecat-toolchain.cmake wrapper that auto-resolves the vcpkg
triplet from the host platform (x64-mingw-static/x64-linux/arm64-osx) so
the main presets work on Windows/Linux/macOS without per-OS variants.
Update all docs (building.md, CLAUDE.md, README.md, AGENTS.md, deployment.md,
tech-stack.md, client READMEs) and stale preset-name references in code
comments. No C++ behavior changes — the core was already portable.
- docs/building.md: explains what each CMake preset (dev, m1-dev, m2-dev,
server-release) is actually for, and how to build voicecat-server + vccli
for manual testing. Linked from CLAUDE.md's doc index.
- core/include/voicecat.h, core/src/voicecat.cpp, core/src/protocol/protocol.h,
server/src/main.cpp: doc-header comments still claimed M0-skeleton/stub
behavior (VC_ERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED everywhere, "prints what it would do",
protobuf codegen "commented") that M1-M3 made real. Updated to describe
current behavior, with the dev-preset stub fallback noted explicitly where
it still applies.
Closes the three items PROGRESS.md's M3 section explicitly carried forward as
out of scope:
- Device enumeration (vc_list_devices) + input device selection
(vc_set_input_device), backed by AudioEngine::enumerate_devices() via
miniaudio's ma_context_get_devices. Device ids are opaque hex-encoded
ma_device_id strings.
- VAD/PTT send-side input gate (vc_set_input_mode, vc_set_push_to_talk).
webrtc-audio-processing (the originally-planned APM) has no working
Windows/MSVC build upstream (GCC-only Meson, unfinished MinGW support, hard
abseil-cpp dependency), so VAD is a new lightweight, dependency-free
energy/RMS processor (EnergyVadProcessor) behind the existing ApmProcessor
interface. Gating is MIC-only; SCREEN_AUDIO/AUX_DEVICE always bypass it.
- True stereo playback: AudioEngine's mixer and output device now carry
stereo end-to-end (mono streams upmix L=R) instead of downmixing decoded
stereo streams to mono before mixing.
- Real WASAPI loopback capture for SCREEN_AUDIO (Windows-only, via
miniaudio's loopback device type), replacing test-only injection as the
production capture path.
Also: vccli gains --list-devices, --input-device, --input-mode, and
--share-screen-audio flags, plus a stdin command loop (ptt on/off, mode
vad/ptt) for manual verification. New test_vad_ptt_devices.cpp covers all
four items (ABI-level + a white-box AudioEngine stereo-mix check).
Docs updated to match: voice.md, roadmap.md (decision-log entry superseding
the original webrtc-audio-processing choice), tech-stack.md, README.md,
architecture.md, CLAUDE.md, PROGRESS.md.
Still explicitly out of scope, documented not silently dropped: real
webrtc-audio-processing/AEC (no AEC/NS/AGC exists at all yet), macOS/iOS
SCREEN_AUDIO capture, process-specific loopback, and a pre-existing
RT-thread rule violation in the capture path that predates this work.
Verified: ctest 12/12 green across 3 consecutive full-suite runs (both dev
and m1-dev presets build clean); test_vad_ptt_devices passed 5 consecutive
standalone runs; manually verified live (vccli --list-devices against real
hardware, vccli --voice --input-mode vad streaming without incident).

test_m2_voice passed against raw BSD sockets, but vc_client::stream_start/stop,
UDP binding, and capture/recv were still VC_ERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED stubs -- meaning
vccli and any GUI client still couldn't actually talk. Implements the real
client-side UDP-binding handshake, media key derivation, capture->encode->seal->
send and recv->open->decode->playback paths, plus server-side StreamInfo
broadcast so peers learn about each other's streams via sync_remote_streams().
Adds test_voice_client_abi (two real vc_client instances, not raw sockets) and
vccli --voice/--mute/--text flags, manually verified live between two instances.

Adds the full voice pipeline: 14-byte binary frame header, ChaCha20-Poly1305
AEAD keyed from the TLS exporter, libopus encode/decode with FEC/PLC/DTX,
an adaptive per-ssrc jitter buffer, a miniaudio capture/playback engine, an
APM passthrough stub, and the UdpBinding/StreamAnnounce signaling chain
wired through ConnSession/SessionRegistry into a new server-side SFU
(MediaRelay) that decrypts and re-encrypts frames per channel member.
Exit criterion verified: test_m2_voice — two headless clients relay 50
encrypted Opus frames through the server; ctest --preset m1-dev is 9/9
green. Also corrects protocol.md's UdpBinding diagram, which described the
UDP-side binding packet as AEAD-sealed when it is in fact a plaintext
bootstrap frame (separate from the TCP/TLS UdpBinding ack).

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.

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.
