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.
