Phase 34: Voice - Context

Gathered: 2026-04-03 Status: Ready for planning Mode: Auto-generated (discuss skipped via workflow.skip_discuss)

## Phase Boundary

Users can speak to the assistant (Whisper STT) and hear responses read aloud (Piper TTS) — Piper pre-warms visibly so the first synthesis call does not appear broken, and voice is offered during onboarding based on hardware capability.

## Implementation Decisions

Claude's Discretion

All implementation choices are at Claude's discretion.
