* feat(server): replace Pi ACP integration with direct SDK provider

Replace the ACP-based Pi provider (which spawned a `pi-acp` subprocess
and talked JSON-RPC over stdio) with a direct in-process integration
using `@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent` as a library.

The new `PiDirectAgentClient` and `PiDirectAgentSession` use the Pi SDK
directly — creating sessions via `createAgentSession()`, managing models
via `ModelRegistry`, and mapping Pi's `AgentSessionEvent` stream to
Paseo's `AgentStreamEvent` types including:

- Thread/turn lifecycle events
- Assistant text and thinking/reasoning deltas
- Tool execution (bash, read, write, edit, find, grep, ls) with arg
  caching across start/update/end events
- Compaction events
- Session persistence and resume via `SessionManager`

Thinking levels flow through the existing `thinkingOptionId` /
`setThinkingOption()` infrastructure, not through features.

Includes 9 real e2e tests against a live Pi agent covering tool calls
(bash/read/write/edit), reasoning chunks, session persistence/resume,
model listing, and thinking option management.

* fix: update lockfile signatures and Nix hash

* refactor(server): improve Pi direct provider code quality

Address coding standards violations in pi-direct-agent.ts:

- Replace all `as Record<string, unknown>` / `as any` / `as unknown as`
  casts with properly typed boundaries using Pi SDK's exported tool
  input types (BashToolInput, ReadToolInput, EditToolInput, etc.)
- Introduce named interfaces at all boundaries: PiPromptPayload,
  ToolCallOutputSummary, PiModelReference, PiPersistenceMetadata
- Parse tool args once at boundary into typed discriminated union,
  then trust types internally — no more typeof probing in mappers
- Break all dense ternary chains into named steps / helper functions
- Import SDK types directly (RegisteredCommand, ResourceLoader, Skill)
  instead of casting through anonymous inline shapes
- Isolate the system prompt SDK escape hatch into a minimal boundary
  helper with a named interface

Behavior is preserved — all 9 real e2e tests still pass.

* fix: regenerate package-lock.json with resolved/integrity fields

The previous lockfile regeneration ran under an offline/cached npm
context and stripped resolved URLs and integrity hashes from existing
entries, which would break npm ci and Nix builds.

* fix: update Nix npmDepsHash for regenerated lockfile

* chore(server): bump @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent to ^0.67.68

* fix: update lockfile signatures and Nix hash

* fix(app): surface agent setter RPC errors as toasts

setAgentMode/Model/ThinkingOption/Feature errors from the daemon were
only logged to console, so failures like missing API keys silently
vanished. Add toast.error fallbacks at all call sites and hoist
ToastProvider above SessionProvider so session context can use it.

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:

  1. Start servers: npm run dev
  2. Open http://localhost:5173
  3. Test WebSocket connection (green status indicator)
  4. Click "Send Ping" button to test communication

More testing guidance as features are implemented.
