// ecoute2

Async voice mailbox — whisper STT in, ElevenLabs/edge-tts out, localMesh routing for agents. Rebuild applies the radix shell with three views: full, mini (Spotify-style), ribbon (above-taskbar).

What stays

Decisions needed

decision 1 · views to ship

All three (full / mini / ribbon), or full only? Recommend: full first, mini second, ribbon third — sequence them.

decision 2 · waveform — live or decorative

Two side-by-side waveforms (you / agent). Live (mic + TTS sampling), decorative (animated placeholder), or mixed (live for "you", decorative for "agent")?

decision 3 · "play" button semantics

Mockup has 5 buttons (connect / record / send / play / end). Current has 4. What does "play" do — replay last response, start playback of queued message, or toggle TTS globally?

decision 4 · BaseFrame reskin scope

untitledSDK BaseFrame defines the green/orange terminal palette. Reskin BaseFrame globally (affects pinger, pocketViewer, all SDK widgets), override locally inside ecoute2 only, or add a theme parameter to BaseFrame?

decision 5 · view switching mechanism

When user toggles to mini, does the full window resize/reflow, or does a new compact window spawn? Affects state continuity.

decision 6 · avatar in mini view

Gradient circle with first letter of agent handle, picass0 portrait, or static color-coded blob per agent?
