Real root cause (confirmed against the live build-24 DOM): the caption
and TTS extraction fell back to turn.textContent whenever a settle-frame
race left no readable answer segment, scraping the avatar letter,
author name and 'Processed 13s' chip - and that truncated reply made
TTS speak only the first segment then drop to Listening even with the
mic muted (the muted-mic first-sentence-stop). Extraction now prefers
each answer segment's data-raw-text, else the answer .msg-body only
(excluding thinking/tool/worklog/role chrome), and the textContent
fallback is gone; a genuinely mid-flight reply retries briefly so the
whole thing is read before the overlay drains. Also: the app's own
caduceus mark embedded in the conversation orb as a subtle watermark; a
corner language selector (Auto + en/es/ru) that forces both the STT
hint and the reply voice; and a thinking affordance after 2.5s of dead
time. New response probe + extraction test prove caption==body-only and
that every sentence reaches the TTS queue. 278 voice-lane tests green.

The chat prompt still forbade all cluster access, so Hermes told users
it had no visibility even though cluster_read is live - it now knows it
has a read-only cluster tool (no Secrets/Vault) and should use it rather
than deny. Adds tool/research-conditioned acknowledgement guidance: when
a turn needs a lookup, plan or calculation, open with one short 'on it,
~ETA' line then deliver the full answer; simple questions get no
preamble. In spoken mode that first line is read aloud. Fixes two
pre-existing exact-match test pins the HUX/cluster rollout had grown
(plugins.enabled list; a fieldRef env comprehension).

Node .status.images (every cached image on the node) overflowed the
size cap and left json.loads parsing a truncated blob, so a nodes query
came back as a non-JSON error. The de-noise pass now summarizes that
list, and genuine truncation returns the readable prefix with a
narrow-your-query hint instead of an error.

- Captions read message bodies only (the scraper was concatenating
avatar, author and worklog chips); multi-segment interim turns are
now speakable and drive clean speak-to-thinking-to-speak cycles when
playback drains mid-turn.
- Dynamic endpointing: complete-looking partials (3+ words or terminal
punctuation) endpoint at the base window; the long hold remains only
for one-two-word fragments. A stale-busy 10s settle wait on every
post-error send is gone.
- Both overlay captions are bounded, touch-scrollable regions with
follow-tail; caps raised for long turns.
- Error envelopes are never spoken or captioned; errored turns run
resyncCapture (fresh STT session on the hot mic).
- Workspace toggle now lives in the sidebar rail (floating button only
below the rail breakpoint).
- False 'session unavailable' toast root-caused: the router continuity
guard shows it on a 409 that fired when a transient profile-listing
failure failed closed into a fake cross-profile mismatch; the patcher
now answers from the alias cache and never claims a default-vs-named
mismatch while aliases are unconfirmed.
- Barge-in sends carry a one-line cut-point marker with the last spoken
sentence; visible-history truncation judged infeasible client-side.
- Language switching works end-to-end: sticky per-session STT language
hint (restarting an unused next session on switch), reply voice from
script evidence, STT detection, then stopword heuristic; cues and WAV
fallback share the turn language.
- Legacy CI guards: node skip for the DOM probe, ffmpeg/codec skips for
the container-fallback test. 272 voice-lane tests green.

worker.bstein.dev (the hermes-agent Deployment) gains the same HUX
shape as chat, staged and inert: a foundation-only hux sidecar on the
reviewed WebUI image line (Flux setters bound, 5s probe budgets), an
init that provisions the HMAC identity as slot-100 on the durable home
subtree (create-once context key, O_EXCL subject binding, per-pod
worker key; no relay/router/evidence keys so those trusts fail closed),
and observe-only hook env in the agent container with the runtime
plugin mounted but deliberately NOT enabled - activation is a reviewed
one-line flip per docs/hux/WORKER-PLAN.md, which carries the rollout,
verification gates, canary/rollback ladder and open questions.
Cross-surface continuity remains unclaimed until the live gates pass.

Re-enforcement prerequisites, code-side complete: the autonomy runtime
now docks pending-approval cards above the composer (newest first, cap
three, aria-live, allow-once / always / deny wired to the existing
decide route with idempotency; polling gated to active turns and
fail-tolerant), so parked tool calls are never silent. The default
capability matrix no longer denies by default: network and web_search
ask below autonomous (visible prompt) and nothing resolves to deny
except explicit grants or private mode; SO-39 stays intact - deploy and
external side effects always ask and external never auto-allows.

RBAC: the built-in view ClusterRole (which never includes Secrets, so
Vault-managed material stays structurally invisible) plus a read-only
extra for nodes, namespaces, PVs, storage classes, CRDs, Flux resources
and metrics, bound to the chat service account. Tooling: a cluster-read
plugin registers a GET-only cluster_read tool against the in-cluster
API using the pod's projected token - secrets paths refused in the
handler as well, malformed segments rejected, responses bounded and
stripped of managedFields noise. Classified read_files/low in the HUX
capability map. RBAC applies on push; the tool activates when the pods
next roll (bundled with the round-3 voice build).

Round 2 from live testing:
- Clipping root cause: the endpointer committed on any 1.1s pause, so a
thinking pause after a sentence opener sent one word; a speculative
Whisper pass over that fragment then stalled the real commit ~3.5s on
the Jetson. Young utterances now hold a 1.8s endpoint until 1.2s of
speech accrues, speculative decode waits for 700ms of speech, resume
is unconditional after any 650ms gap (server-frozen snapshots can
never reach commit), and the noise floor is capped so playback echo
cannot deafen onset. Deterministic capture-continuity probe added.
- Stitching now fires for any barge-cancelled send within 20s,
regardless of partial assistant output.
- The workspace-drawer dark rectangle was our own HUX chrome resolving
undefined theme tokens (--bg-primary) to a flat box; bootstrap.css
bridges the real theme tokens and drops a compositor-hazard
backdrop-filter.
- Conversation mode: full-viewport hands-free overlay with an energy-
driven orb (mic RMS in, TTS activity out), state caption, live
transcript/reply captions, mute and exit controls, focus trap,
Escape, reduced-motion support. Voice lane 253 tests green.

Real traffic showed the first enforcement pass blocking core assistant
faculties: skills listing and the sandboxed Python classified as
unknown external side effects, browsing denied by default, with no
approval surface in the chat flow. Enforcement returns to observe-only
fleet-wide while the approvals UX and default grants are reworked, and
the capability map now tells the truth about the real toolset: the
Python sandbox is internal shell work, skills/todo/clarify/vision are
reads, browsing is network (medium), image generation writes an
artifact through the trusted broker. Unknown tools remain fail-closed.

Three conversational fixes for hands-free chat:
- The microphone now stays hot for the whole session: capture runs on
its own epoch, re-arms immediately after each utterance endpoints,
and keeps recording through transcribing/thinking/speaking - speech
is never lost to Hermes being busy. Speech onset during a response
cancels it through the live capture path (echo-guarded exactly like
the old monitor) without touching the running recorder.
- When the user talks over Hermes before any visible reply appeared,
the interrupted utterance and the follow-up are stitched into one
message (20s window), so the response addresses the whole thought.
- TTS speaks 15% faster by default (server-side length_scale, no pitch
shift), user-tunable via hermes-voice-tts-speed (0.5-2.0), honored on
streaming, WAV fallback and thinking-cue paths.
245 voice-lane tests pass; single getUserMedia site preserved;

Re-applies the staged HUX topology pinned to the reviewed build-21

hermes-chat-tenant-3 rolls. Adds the /healthz auth bypass on the chat

Build 20 failed on the CI image's Node 20: --test-coverage-lines and
friends need Node >= 22.8 and --experimental-strip-types needs 22.6.
A shared helper now runs plain --experimental-test-coverage and
enforces the same per-source >=95 floors by parsing the coverage
table, so the gate is identical on Node 20 and newer local Nodes; the
TypeScript suites skip with an explicit reason on runtimes that cannot
strip types. Per-file gating also exposed pre-existing debt the old
aggregate thresholds hid (wave_b_projects_modes.js branches 90 / funcs
94.7) - recorded as explicit enforced floors, not waived.

Activation-layer staging, fail-closed until enablement: a per-tenant

hux_producer.run_once on a 60s loop, inert until the Vault-staged

service and producer containers - never hermes or webui), the policy
ConfigMap, and the scope ConfigMap exist. Adds least-privilege
read-only RBAC (pods+statefulset in hermes, the single named Flux
Kustomization), tenant egress to the Kubernetes API ClusterIP and the
traefik edge, the policy allowlist, hux_producer packaging in the WebUI

The delivery and image-automation gates now enforce whichever state the
chat StatefulSet is actually in: with no hux sidecar they require zero
partial HUX wiring (no containers, volumes, PVC, or HUX_* env); with the
sidecar staged they enforce the full strict boundary. This lets the
reviewed source chain merge and build before the activation topology
lands, without ever waiving an activated assertion.

The Flux release renderer now accepts an expected-consumer set per
workload (chat may carry the HUX sidecar as a second consumer of the
exact same WebUI image) and binds HUX_IMAGE_TAG/HUX_IMAGE_DIGEST env
metadata to the released tag and digest when those fields are present.
Rendering fails when the binding fields are incomplete, keeping the
image identity single-sourced. Tests adapt to both topologies.
