- Voice actions (Join Voice, Share Screen Audio) moved to a ToolStrip toolbar and
a new Voice menu in the menu bar; removed from the bottom voice panel
- Activity log and chat log collapsed into a single RichTextBox (rtbLog); activity
events appear in gray, chat messages in default color
- Private messaging reworked: each conversation opens in its own modeless
PrivateMessageForm instead of sharing the main chat log via a scope dropdown;
cboScope removed; main compose bar always sends to the current channel
- New "Messages -> New Private Message..." menu item (Ctrl+P) opens a UserPickerDialog
listing all connected server users (not just the current channel) so you can PM
anyone on the server
- Channel tree now shows live user counts, e.g. "General (3)" -- counts sourced from
the existing _users dictionary which already tracks all server users with channel IDs
- Global output volume slider (TrackBar, 0-100, default 80) added to the right panel;
wired to new vc_set_output_volume C ABI function that applies a master gain multiplier
in the audio engine playback callback after mixing all streams
- vc_set_output_volume added end-to-end: voicecat.h, audio_engine.h/.cpp,
client.h/.cpp, voicecat.cpp, NativeMethods.cs, VoiceCatClient.cs
- Documented Windows PowerShell ctest requirement in AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md:
MinGW binaries exit 0xc0000139 in Git Bash; always run ctest/.exe via PowerShell
22/22 ctest green (PowerShell); dotnet build 0 warnings.

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.
PerUserTuningDialog previously broadcast one gain/mute/NR set to *all* of a
user's streams, even though the core mixer (AudioEngine::RemoteStream) and
the C ABI (vc_set_remote_stream) were already per-stream. The UI had no
per-mix controls anywhere.
Reworks the dialog to enumerate ListUserStreams on open and render one row
per stream (kind + label + Gain + Mute + NR), each wiring only to its own
stream_id. Adds a read-back ABI counterpart, vc_get_remote_stream, so the
dialog opens at the listener's actual current per-stream settings (defaults
1.0/unmuted/NR-off) rather than always 100%. Additive ABI change only; no
existing symbols touched.
Tests: test_m3_multistream extended with getter round-trip assertions; new
C# smoke test exercises the full P/Invoke marshaling path with two clients.
Docs: voice.md §10 notes the getter. NR checkbox keeps its honest
'passthrough' label (NS DSP still unbuilt per §8).
The core already supported SCREEN_AUDIO capture on Windows (post-M3 WASAPI
loopback via VOICECAT_HAS_LOOPBACK) and the C# Interop layer was complete
(VcStreamKind.ScreenAudio, StartStream/StopStream/SetRemoteStream). Only the
UI was missing -- no core, proto, or C ABI changes needed.
Adds a 'Share Screen Audio' toggle to the voice panel, independent of mic
voice (can share without joining voice). Disconnect/teardown now stops the
screen stream cleanly. New smoke test exercises the full StartStream ->
StreamStarted -> StopStream -> StreamStopped path through P/Invoke.
A connected Windows client would randomly snap from its joined channel
back to Lobby. Root cause was a state-sync inconsistency, not a drop:
the server delivered self-initiated state changes (channel join/leave,
stream announce/stop) only as a private *Result to the actor and
broadcast the authoritative UserEvent::UPDATED to everyone else. The
core never applied the result to its SessionModel, so vc_list_users()
kept self in the old channel; the Windows HandleUserUpdated rebuilds
_currentChannelId from vc_list_users() on any user's UPDATED event, so
the next unrelated event surfaced the stale self-channel.
Fix, per the response-vs-broadcast contract now documented in
docs/protocol.md §6: the *Result is pure ack/correlation/actor-private
payload; the resulting state change is broadcast to every client
INCLUDING the actor, and clients apply it to their local model rather
than re-deriving own state from a *Result.
- server: join/leave/stream announce+stop broadcast with exclude=0
- server: text fan-out includes the sender (channel + private echo)
- core: response handlers no longer mutate session_model_
- windows: drop optimistic text echo; render own message via the relay
- docs/protocol.md §6: document the response-vs-broadcast contract
Registry-level admin broadcasts (move/mute/kick/channel CRUD) already
used exclude=0 and were correct. ctest build/m1-dev 18/18 green;
VoiceCat.App builds 0 warnings.

Replaces the M4-placeholder stub with a real build/run guide covering prerequisites,
build order (server → DLL → dotnet build), DLL dependency verification, manual test
runbook, and the known limitations (focus-scoped PTT, NR passthrough, no admin UI,
TOFU-pins-leaf-cert vs Ed25519).

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.
