Replaces the per-client stale/visibility policy with one shared
presence cascade so a backgrounded Firefox tab can no longer steal
in-app notifications from an active Electron desktop window.
Server (`agent-attention-policy.ts`): exports `PRESENCE_THRESHOLD_MS`
(3 min) and `computeNotificationPlan({ allStates, agentId, reason,
nowMs })` returning `{ inAppRecipientIndex, shouldPush }`. Cascade:
focus suppression requires presence; otherwise the most-recent
present client wins (lower-index tiebreak); push fires only when no
client is present, and never on `error`. `broadcastAgentAttention`
calls the policy once per event.
Electron (`daemon-manager.ts`, `idle.ts`): registers
`desktop_get_system_idle_time` returning `powerMonitor
.getSystemIdleTime() * 1000`. Renderer wrapper
`getDesktopSystemIdleTimeMs()` is best-effort: rejected IPC, null,
NaN, Infinity, or negative values return null without throwing.
Hook (`use-client-activity.ts`): Electron-only effect polls every 5s
and updates `lastActivityAtRef` only forward, so OS-wide activity
keeps a backgrounded Electron window present while in-window events
still update immediately.
`ClientHeartbeatMessageSchema` is unchanged; old/new clients and
daemons remain wire-compatible.
Tests: 52 focused tests across policy unit, dispatch, e2e, hook,
desktop wrapper, and permissions. Phase-3 dispatch test +
Phase-5 stale-poll test verified by mutation (breaking the focus
check / the `>` guard makes the exact regression fail).
Voice Assistant
A voice-controlled terminal assistant that runs as a single local service.
Quick Start
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Copy environment variables
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your API keys (OpenAI, Deepgram)
# Run development servers
npm run dev
# Open browser to http://localhost:5173
Architecture
- Express Server (port 3000) - Serves API and built UI in production
- Vite Dev Server (port 5173) - Hot-reload React UI in development
- WebSocket (
/ws) - Real-time bidirectional communication - Agent - STT → LLM → TTS pipeline with terminal control
- Daemon - tmux-based terminal management (in-process)
Development
# Run both servers (recommended)
npm run dev
# Or run separately:
npm run dev:server # Express on port 3000
npm run dev:ui # Vite on port 5173
# Type checking
npm run typecheck
# Build for production
npm run build
# Start production server
npm start
Project Status
✅ Completed (Phases 1-2):
- Package setup and configuration
- Express server with WebSocket
- React UI with Vite
- WebSocket client with ping/pong testing
⏳ In Progress (Phase 3):
- Terminal control (tmux integration)
📋 Planned (Phases 4-9):
- LLM integration (OpenAI GPT-4)
- Agent orchestrator
- Speech-to-Text (Deepgram)
- Text-to-Speech (OpenAI)
- Audio streaming
- UI polish
See IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md for complete details.
Environment Variables
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-key-here # GPT-4 and TTS
DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=your-deepgram-key-here # Streaming STT
STT_MODEL=whisper-1 # Optional: override to gpt-4o-transcribe, etc.
STT_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD=-3.0 # Optional: reject low-confidence clips
STT_DEBUG_AUDIO_DIR=.stt-debug # Optional: persist raw dictation audio for debugging
PASEO_HOME=~/.paseo # Runtime state directory (agents/, etc.)
PASEO_LISTEN=127.0.0.1:6767 # Listen address (host:port or /path/to/socket)
PASEO_HOME defaults to ~/.paseo and isolates runtime artifacts like agents/. PASEO_LISTEN controls the daemon listen address. For blue/green testing you can run a parallel server without touching production state:
PASEO_HOME=~/.paseo-blue PASEO_LISTEN=127.0.0.1:7777 npm run dev
Tech Stack
- Server: Express, TypeScript, ws (WebSocket)
- Client: React 18, Vite, TypeScript
- Terminal: tmux (via child_process)
- AI: OpenAI (LLM + TTS), Deepgram (STT)
Testing
Currently manual testing via:
- Start servers:
npm run dev - Open http://localhost:5173
- Test WebSocket connection (green status indicator)
- Click "Send Ping" button to test communication
More testing guidance as features are implemented.
