* fix(app): preserve formatting when copying assistant selections Browser selection serialized React Native Web layout nodes instead of the assistant message semantics. Recover semantic markup from renderer-owned metadata and reuse the rich clipboard generator used by Copy turn. * fix(app): preserve assistant copy semantics Carry source-only Markdown metadata through the selection copy boundary, unwrap generated code links, and cover ordered starts, hard breaks, and fence languages in Playwright. Refresh the Nix dependency hash for the added clipboard dependency. * fix(app): preserve partial selection context Wrap selected fragments with their shared semantic ancestor chain and enable GFM table and strikethrough conversion. Cover partial nested selections and GFM output through the browser clipboard. * fix(app): preserve copied list and autolink text Adjust partial ordered-list starts for omitted siblings, strip parser-generated anchors before Markdown reconstruction, and refresh the Nix dependency hash computed by CI. * fix(app): normalize partial selection context Normalize cloned ordered lists across block boundaries, degrade incomplete table fragments to selected text, and preserve table alignment provenance through Markdown reconstruction. * fix(app): escape copied table delimiters Rendered table cells no longer retain source escape characters. Escape literal pipes during DOM-to-Markdown conversion so copied tables preserve their column structure. * fix(app): preserve authored link semantics The rendered link boundary conflated parser-generated links with authored autolinks and discarded authored titles. Carry title semantics into the anchor and unwrap only links with explicit generated provenance. * fix(app): preserve nested copy structure Blank-line splitting separated loose nested lists before Markdown rendering, leaving no nesting for clipboard serialization to preserve. Derive protected separators from the Markdown block structure and keep copy metadata independent from monospace surface styling. * fix(app): preserve selected file links Assistant messages and rich clipboard HTML must apply the same link validation policy. A shared parser keeps file links semantic in both MIME representations while retaining markdown-it's unsafe-scheme rejection. * fix(app): preserve partial table content A selected body row wider than its retained header cannot be represented as GFM and is truncated when rich HTML is regenerated. Treat only those over-wide fragments, plus headerless fragments, as incomplete while preserving valid short rows.
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.
