Promotes vc_test_inject_capture (mono-only, TEST-ONLY) to a public, stereo-capable production API and adds a symmetric PCM tap on the receive side. Enables ReplayKit (iOS), ScreenCaptureKit (macOS), bots, soundboards, and custom clients — all without a hardware audio device. Core C++: - voicecat.h: new vc_stream_feed_pcm, vc_pcm_sink_cb typedef, vc_set_pcm_sink; vc_test_inject_capture kept as deprecated alias - audio_engine: stereo-aware inject_capture (channels param + ring reset on channel-count change); atomic pcm_sink_ fired per decoded frame in on_playback; RemoteStream carries user_id/stream_id for RT-safe sink metadata; init_recv_stream takes user_id+stream_id - client.cpp: stream_feed_pcm / set_pcm_sink implementations; sync_remote_streams passes user_id/stream_id to init_recv_stream - voicecat.cpp: trampolines + channels=1/2 validation Tests: test_external_pcm (headless, 3 sub-tests: mono round-trip, stereo feed L≠R, sink metadata+disable). ctest 23/23. Swift: feedPcm / setPcmSink in VoiceCatClient.swift + 4 XCTest smoke tests (ExternalPcmTests.swift). C#: StreamFeedPcm / SetPcmSink in VoiceCatClient.cs + NativeMethods.cs (vc_stream_feed_pcm unsafe P/Invoke, VcPcmSinkCallback delegate, vc_set_pcm_sink via nint) + 4 xUnit smoke tests (ExternalPcmTests.cs). Docs: architecture.md §4 new subsection, voice.md §9 updated (macOS/iOS now reference vc_stream_feed_pcm), protocol.md §8 explicit no-protocol-change note, roadmap.md M5 entry.

# CLAUDE.md — agent hub for VoiceCat
|
||
|
||
Auto-loaded each session. This is the **map**: build commands, architecture at a glance, and
|
||
where everything is. For the *working method* read [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md); for *what's done
|
||
and what's next* read [`PROGRESS.md`](PROGRESS.md); for *design* read [`docs/`](docs/).
|
||
|
||
> **One-line status:** M5 (moderation & admin UI) is complete — permissions, kick/ban/move,
|
||
> server-mute, channel CRUD, in-app account management, disconnect/keepalive/reaper. Windows
|
||
> WinForms C# client shipped (M4). **macOS AppKit client shipped** — `VoiceCatMac.xcodeproj`
|
||
> at `clients/apple/macOS/`. **iOS SwiftUI client shipped** — `VoiceCatiOS.xcodeproj` at
|
||
> `clients/apple/iOS/`. `ctest --preset dev` green — 23/23 tests.
|
||
> External PCM feed/tap API (`vc_stream_feed_pcm` + `vc_set_pcm_sink`) shipped.
|
||
> Next: ReplayKit Broadcast Extension (iOS) or ScreenCaptureKit (macOS). See [`PROGRESS.md`](PROGRESS.md).
|
||
|
||
VoiceCat = self-hosted native voice & text chat (TeamSpeak/Mumble-style). Plain TCP (control)
|
||
+ UDP (media), no WebRTC, encrypted by default. A shared C++ core (`libvoicecat`) drives
|
||
native clients (Swift on macOS/iOS, C# on Windows) and the server.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Build & test commands
|
||
|
||
The default development preset is **`dev`** — it builds everything (server + tools + tests)
|
||
with real vcpkg deps. The `skeleton` preset (no deps, stubs only) is a fast smoke check; see
|
||
[`docs/building.md`](docs/building.md) for the full preset matrix.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Configure + build (default development preset; needs VCPKG_ROOT)
|
||
cmake --preset dev
|
||
cmake --build --preset dev
|
||
|
||
# Run the tests (21 behavior tests — grows per milestone)
|
||
# NOTE on Windows: run ctest via PowerShell, NOT Git Bash — MinGW binaries fail in Git Bash
|
||
# with exit 0xc0000139 (STATUS_ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND). PowerShell runs them correctly.
|
||
ctest --preset dev # or: ctest --test-dir build/dev --output-on-failure
|
||
|
||
# Run the binaries — same Windows rule: use PowerShell, not Git Bash
|
||
./build/dev/bin/vccli # headless test client
|
||
./build/dev/bin/voicecat-server --help
|
||
./build/dev/bin/voicecat-server --name "My Server"
|
||
|
||
# Build a single target / be verbose
|
||
cmake --build --preset dev --target vccli
|
||
cmake --build --preset dev --verbose
|
||
|
||
# Clean
|
||
rm -rf build/dev # nuke; or:
|
||
cmake --build --preset dev --target clean
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Other presets (see [`docs/building.md`](docs/building.md) for full detail):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cmake --preset skeleton # no-deps stub smoke (no VCPKG_ROOT needed) — 2 tests
|
||
cmake --preset release # optimized + tests on, symbols kept (profile/debug-friendly)
|
||
cmake --preset server-release # optimized + stripped, no tests (deployment-shaped)
|
||
cmake --preset windows-client # voicecat.dll for the C# WinForms client (Windows only)
|
||
cmake --preset apple-dev # libvoicecat.a for macOS Swift Package (scaffolding, macOS only)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Vcpkg triplet is auto-resolved from the host platform by
|
||
[`cmake/voicecat-toolchain.cmake`](cmake/voicecat-toolchain.cmake) — `x64-mingw-static` on
|
||
Windows, `x64-linux` on Linux, `arm64-osx` on Apple Silicon. See docs/building.md §1
|
||
"Platform matrix" for details.
|
||
|
||
One-time vcpkg setup:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# one-time: git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg && ./vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh (.bat on Windows)
|
||
export VCPKG_ROOT=/path/to/vcpkg # works on Linux / macOS / Windows
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Other useful toggles (pass with `-D` at configure time):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cmake --preset dev -DVOICECAT_BUILD_SHARED=ON # build libvoicecat as a .dll/.so/.dylib (for the C# client)
|
||
cmake --preset dev -DVOICECAT_BUILD_SERVER=OFF # core + tools only
|
||
cmake --preset dev -DVOICECAT_BUILD_TESTS=OFF
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Formatting: `clang-format` config is `.clang-format` (Google base, 100 cols, 4-space).
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git ls-files '*.cpp' '*.h' | xargs clang-format -i
|
||
```
|
||

||
## Architecture at a glance
|
||
|
||
Full detail: [`docs/architecture.md`](docs/architecture.md). The short version:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Swift (macOS/iOS) ─┐ ┌─ C# (Windows)
|
||
├──▶ libvoicecat (C ABI: voicecat.h) ◀──┤
|
||
voicecat-server ───┘ net · crypto · codec · protocol · └─ all UIs are thin
|
||
(links core) session · audio the core owns audio
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- **One core, many faces.** Protocol, Opus, crypto, networking, jitter buffer, and mixing
|
||
live once in C++. Clients call the **C ABI** (`core/include/voicecat.h`); the server links
|
||
the same core, so framing/crypto never drift between ends.
|
||
- **Two transports.** TCP + **TLS 1.3** (control, protobuf `Envelope`) and UDP + **exported-key
|
||
ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD** (media, fixed binary voice frame). Encryption is mandatory.
|
||
- **Threading.** Real-time audio threads never allocate/lock/block; they exchange data with
|
||
the net thread via lock-free ring buffers; a worker pool absorbs blocking work.
|
||
|
||

## Documentation index (source of truth)
|
||
|
||
Read [`docs/`](docs/) before changing behavior. Order:
|
||
|
||
1. [docs/README.md](docs/README.md) — overview, locked decisions, glossary
|
||
2. [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md) — core, C ABI, threading, server
|
||
3. [docs/protocol.md](docs/protocol.md) — control plane, Envelope, message catalog
|
||
4. [docs/voice.md](docs/voice.md) — UDP media, Opus, multi-stream, two-sided NR, VAD/PTT
|
||
5. [docs/security.md](docs/security.md) — mandatory encryption, TLS+AEAD, accounts, threat model
|
||
6. [docs/tech-stack.md](docs/tech-stack.md) — libraries, permissive-license rule, tooling
|
||
7. [docs/deployment.md](docs/deployment.md) — zero-config self-host (Docker / binary / source)
|
||
8. [docs/roadmap.md](docs/roadmap.md) — milestones + resolved decisions
|
||
9. [docs/building.md](docs/building.md) — what each CMake preset is for + manual server/`vccli` testing
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Keeping track of progress
|
||
|
||
**[`PROGRESS.md`](PROGRESS.md) is the living status file.** When you finish a task, check it
|
||
off there and note the next step, so the next agent can pick up instantly. Treat it as part of
|
||
the work, not an afterthought — update it in the same commit as the code.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## House rules (hard constraints)
|
||
|
||
- **A clean compile is the floor, not the goal.** "Done" = the milestone's observable exit
|
||
criterion in [`docs/roadmap.md`](docs/roadmap.md) passes (e.g. M1 = two `vccli` actually chat
|
||
over TLS). Encode it as a test. See [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md).
|
||
- **No GPL/LGPL dependencies, ever** (closed-source redistribution is a goal). docs/tech-stack.md §5.
|
||
- **Encryption is mandatory** — never add a plaintext transport path. docs/security.md.
|
||
- **Real-time audio threads** never allocate, lock, or block. docs/architecture.md §3.
|
||
- **Keep docs + code in sync.** Changing a wire format (`voicecat.proto`) or the C ABI
|
||
(`voicecat.h`) is a deliberate, versioned act — update the doc in the same commit (protocol.md §8).
|
||
- Every commit must build (`cmake --build --preset dev`) and pass `ctest --preset dev`.
