* feat(app): give each permission mode a distinct icon The mode selector reused shield glyphs across modes: Auto mode showed a question mark, Always Ask a checkmark, and the same icon appeared on several modes (ShieldCheck on both Always Ask and Plan, ShieldAlert on both Accept File Edits and Bypass). The result read as arbitrary rather than as a scale of autonomy. Assign every built-in provider mode a distinct icon from one shared vocabulary, applied consistently across Claude, Codex, Copilot, and OpenCode: - Shield guarded default (every action prompts) - ShieldCheck classifier/auto-reviewer vets prompts - ShieldPlus edit tools pre-approved, others still prompt - ShieldEllipsis plan / read-only deliberation - ShieldOff fully permissive, no prompts Register the new icons in the client MODE_ICONS map. Old clients downgrade unknown icon names to ShieldCheck through the existing customModeIcons compat gate, so the wire contract is unchanged.

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.
