-# Jarvis roadmap
-
-This is the implementation tracker for the local Ubuntu GNOME assistant. The
-roadmap is ordered by dependency: runtime authority first, then cognition,
-voice, desktop observation, actuation, UI, capability coverage, hardening, and
-packaging.
-
-## Product contract
-
-Jarvis is local-first and session-scoped. The GNOME Shell extension stays thin;
-all inference, audio, jobs, memory, and computer-use decisions run outside
-gnome-shell. The extracted `/home/raven/dev/agent-harness` remains the sole
-cognitive loop and is wrapped rather than rewritten.
-
-## Non-negotiable runtime architecture
-
-- One user service, `jarvisd`, owns the QVAC SDK worker.
-- One `QVAC_CONFIG_PATH` points every Jarvis process at the same
-  `qvac.config.json`.
-- One model profile is active at a time. The QVAC master owns load, unload,
-  suspend, resume, cancellation, and model status.
-- Harness sessions call the master; skills never import QVAC independently and
-  never call `loadModel()` directly.
-- `qvac serve --openai` is an optional diagnostic/API surface and is never
-  started by `jarvisd`; it must not run beside the master in production.
-- GPU is mandatory for Jarvis runtime inference. The bridge requests GPU,
-  enables all GPU layers and GPU multimodal projection, and rejects a load
-  that QVAC reports as CPU. There is no silent CPU fallback.
-- Audio capture, TTS, OCR, embeddings, RAG, media jobs, and multimodal work
-  use the same QVAC master scheduler and obey a GPU memory budget.
-- A capability may report `unavailable: gpu-required` without weakening the
-  GPU policy or starting a competing runtime.
-
-## Status legend
-
-- `[x]` implemented and locally verified
-- `[~]` scaffolded or partially implemented
-- `[ ]` planned
-
-## Phase 0 — repository and authority bootstrap
-
-- [x] Confirm `/home/raven/dev/agent-harness` exists.
-- [x] Copy the extracted harness into `vendor/agent-harness`.
-- [x] Document harness layout, entrypoints, sessions, tools, memory, planner,
-  and model path in `docs/agent-harness-map.md`.
-- [x] Pin the QVAC 0.19.x API rules in `QVAC.md` and lock the repository to
-  `@qvac/sdk` 0.19.1.
-- [x] Create Node 22.17+ workspaces.
-- [x] Add one root `qvac.config.json` with localhost server settings and a
-  single model alias.
-- [x] Add the initial daemon, computer-use, GNOME extension, D-Bus, and
-  control-center boundaries.
-- [x] Install and lock dependencies with a successful `npm install`.
-- [x] Review runtime dependency audit: `npm audit --omit=dev` reports 10
-  transitive findings through `dbus-next` (3 critical, 1 high, 6 moderate;
-  upstream reports no available fixes).
-- [x] Add repository CI for syntax, unit, schema, and extension checks.
-
-Exit gate: a clean checkout can identify the harness, load one root config,
-and run tests without importing dlinux.
-
-## Phase 1 — single GPU QVAC master
-
-- [x] Add `daemon/qvac-master.js` as the only Jarvis QVAC owner.
-- [x] Serialize model loading and share the resulting harness engine.
-- [x] Request `device: "gpu"`, `gpu_layers: 99`, and GPU multimodal projection.
-- [x] Reject a CPU result instead of accepting QVAC's internal fallback.
-- [x] Preflight QVAC GPU visibility before downloading or loading a model.
-- [x] Enforce the vendored `@qvac/sdk` 0.19.x version at master startup.
-- [x] Add owner counting and a single close path.
-- [x] Set `QVAC_CONFIG_PATH`, `JARVIS_QVAC_MODEL`, and GPU policy in the user
-  service.
-- [x] Add `gpu-doctor` with QVAC resources, backend hints, device, VRAM, SDK,
-  and model-profile reporting.
-- [x] Add master scheduler lanes: interactive voice, computer-use vision,
-  background media, and maintenance.
-- [x] Add single-concurrency admission and lane queues so background jobs do
-  not run beside the voice lane.
-- [x] Add model profile selection and master-owned `assessModelFit()` access.
-- [x] Add master-level cancellation by request ID or model ID.
-- [x] Add ownership/status tests and a single master module boundary.
-
-Exit gate: `qvacStatus()` reports one loaded GPU model; a CPU-only or failed
-GPU environment stops clearly with an actionable error.
-
-## Phase 2 — harness bridge and Jarvis skills
-
-- [x] Start the real harness through `Agent.create()` and route token events;
-  GPU preflight is the only runtime gate.
-- [x] Add the voice-native system prompt and structured HUD sidecar.
-- [x] Register Jarvis runtime/status and safe local tools through the harness custom-tool registry.
-- [x] Define permission classes: read, write, dangerous, and computer-use.
-- [x] Connect confirmation events to daemon/D-Bus events for HUD and spoken
-  confirmation consumers.
-- [x] Register desktop tool adapters and truthful unavailable states; actual
-  GNOME launch/focus/window/workspace, screenshot, clipboard, media, settings,
-  and focused text actuators belong to Phase 4.
-- [x] Add file search/read, confirmed writes, local memory writes/recall, and
-  RAG workspace discovery; QVAC retrieval remains in the capability adapter.
-- [x] Add QVAC capability registry/status plus master-owned lifecycle/resource/
-  model-fit wrappers; embeddings, translation,
-  OCR, classification,
-  image/video/music jobs, transcription, TTS, LoRA, BCI, VLA, and ABot-World.
-- [x] Ensure current wrappers use the master status and never load QVAC themselves.
-- [x] Add fixture tests for current tool schemas and permission metadata.
-
-Exit gate: a typed prompt completes through the real harness, streams tokens,
-executes a Jarvis tool, and returns a short local response through the same
-GPU-owned worker.
-
-### Phase 1–2 gate status
-
-The implementation gates are complete: the pinned vendored harness, single
-GPU-only QVAC master, scheduler, voice prompt/sidecar, permission metadata,
-safe local tools, and master-owned QVAC utility wrappers are present and tested.
-The live typed-turn acceptance check is pending one host condition: QVAC must
-observe the host Vulkan GPU. Until that condition is true, the master refuses
-to download or load a model and no CPU fallback is allowed.
-
-## Phase 3 — daemon lifecycle and D-Bus
-
-- [x] Define `io.qvac.Jarvis.Session` XML.
-- [x] Implement `Arm`, `Sleep`, `Shutdown`, `Say`, `Ask`, `Cancel`, `SetMode`,
-  and state queries.
-- [x] Implement token, transcript, reply, audio-level, chip, job, computer
-  step, and error signals.
-- [x] Add the Node D-Bus service implementation. Live bus smoke testing remains
-  pending on a normal user session because this sandbox cannot bind a D-Bus
-  session socket.
-- [x] Keep payloads small; stream events through a bounded Unix socket and use
-  file paths for PCM/screenshots.
-- [x] Add lock-screen handling: cancel, arm, and revoke computer use.
-- [x] Add idle sleep using QVAC `suspend()` and resume on wake.
-- [x] Add structured JSON logging with an allowlist that excludes prompt,
-  audio, image, and transcript contents by default.
-
-Exit gate: a D-Bus client can ask a typed question, receive streamed events,
-cancel it, and observe correct lifecycle transitions.
-
-### Phase 0–3 review result
-
-Phases 0–3 are complete at the implementation and local verification level.
-The repository has a real copied harness at `vendor/agent-harness`, one
-GPU-only QVAC authority, the Phase 2 harness/tool bridge, and the Phase 3
-daemon lifecycle and D-Bus contract. The Phase 4 handoff is ready.
-
-Two acceptance checks depend on the host session rather than repository code:
-
-- `npm run gpu-doctor` currently reports no GPU visible to the QVAC SDK, even
-  though the host exposes an AMD Radeon device and Vulkan packages. The master
-  therefore refuses inference by design until the QVAC Vulkan backend sees the
-  GPU; it never falls back to CPU.
-- Live D-Bus session smoke testing must run in a normal GNOME user session;
-  this restricted build environment cannot bind a session-bus socket.
-
-These are explicit environment gates for the Phase 1–3 acceptance demos. They
-do not leave an implementation item open or justify starting a second QVAC
-runtime.
-
-## Phase 4 — voice loop
-
-- [x] Add PipeWire capture at 16 kHz mono with a dedicated `Jarvis` node.
-- [x] Add wake-word engine behind a `WakeEngine` interface.
-- [x] Add VAD segmentation and the documented QVAC ASR stream.
-- [x] Implement `ARMED → LISTENING → THINKING → SPEAKING → LISTENING`.
-- [x] Add transcript filtering, TTS anti-feedback gate, and playback cooldown.
-- [x] Add sentence buffering from streamed harness output into QVAC TTS.
-- [x] Add fast-path cancel, sleep, privacy, dictate, screen, and computer-use
-  commands.
-- [x] Add push-to-talk and typed fallback.
-- [x] Add wake false-accept/false-reject and feedback measurements.
-
-Implementation is complete in `daemon/audio-pipewire.js`, `daemon/wake-engine.js`,
-`daemon/vad.js`, `daemon/voice-adapters.js`, `daemon/voice-loop.js`, and
-`daemon/audio-playback.js`. The SDK speech models are loaded as auxiliary
-models by the same QVAC master and use GPU settings. Live wake-word detection
-uses the built-in CPU keyword spotter by default (`jarvis-wake-bridge`). A
-custom openWakeWord or sherpa-onnx command can replace it; cloud wake is not
-supported.
-
-Exit gate: implementation complete. In a configured GNOME session, “Hey
-Jarvis” starts a local GPU-backed turn, speaks a response, and does not
-self-trigger from its own TTS. `docs/voice-acceptance.md` contains the live
-hardware/session acceptance procedure.
-
-## Phase 5 — GNOME HUD surface
-
-- [x] Add GNOME 45+ ESM extension metadata, panel indicator, and settings keys.
-- [x] Add async D-Bus client and panel state glyphs.
-- [x] Add tray HUD: compact conversation menu, Chat/Thinking tabs, hold-to-talk,
-  optional expanded session, transcript rows, chips, local/model status,
-  reduced motion, high contrast, keyboard navigation, and screen-reader labels.
-- [x] Add listening/privacy chips, job theater, target highlights, and
-  visible computer-use cursor.
-- [x] Keep all extension work nonblocking and free of QVAC/native inference.
-- [x] Waveform HUD removed. `SpeakingLevel` / `ListeningLevel` are still
-  emitted on D-Bus; the extension no-ops them. There is no 48-bar overlay.
-
-The extension implementation is in `apps/gnome-extension/[email protected]/`.
-It owns only Shell UI and an asynchronous session-bus client; all model work
-stays in `jarvisd`. The HUD is a panel mark plus compact popup or expanded
-session. Computer-use chrome is a target highlight, not a waveform overlay.
-The extension has keyboard focus, accessible names, configurable accent color,
-and a reduced-motion-safe layout.
-
-Exit gate: enabling/disabling the extension never starts inference in the Shell
-process and reflects daemon state without jank.
-
-## Phase 6 — computer-use observe and semantic action
-
-- [x] Complete `cu-doctor`: Wayland/X11, portal, PipeWire, AT-SPI, libei, and
-  optional fallback detection.
-- [x] Implement portal ScreenCast/Screenshot and tmpfs frame normalization.
-- [x] Implement GNOME Shell window truth and focus methods.
-- [x] Implement AT-SPI tree snapshots with per-step stable refs.
-- [x] Implement OCR and QVAC multimodal observe bundles.
-- [x] Implement `cu.observe`, `cu.zoom`, `cu.tree`, and `cu.find`.
-- [x] Keep frames local in `/tmp/jarvis-cu`, downscale to WebP before
-  perception, and return explicit unavailable reasons when portal, Shell, or
-  AT-SPI providers cannot connect.
-- [x] Implement `cu.act` and semantic `cu.click`.
-- [x] Implement grant/revoke, expiry, step budget, audit hashes, and no-frame
-  retention by default.
-
-Exit gate: “what’s on my screen?” returns grounded local observations without
-actuation.
-
-## Phase 7 — computer-use portal actuation
-
-- [x] Implement RemoteDesktop portal consent and restore tokens.
-- [x] Implement libei/EIS pointer, keyboard, scroll, drag, hover, and key input.
-- [x] Implement typed Unicode and submit behavior.
-- [x] Add target preview, agent cursor, and step ticker.
-- [x] Prefer domain tools, app D-Bus, AT-SPI, Shell helper, then vision
-  coordinates in that order.
-- [x] Refuse password/PAM roles and lock-screen/greeter actions.
-- [x] Require confirmation for destructive or high-impact actions.
-- [x] Keep ydotool and X11 tools disabled unless explicitly enabled.
-- [x] Add state-change self-checks, animation waits, and no-progress aborts.
-
-Actuation is implemented in `computer-use/portal-input.js`, `computer-use/actuator.js`,
-`computer-use/safety.js`, `computer-use/audit.js`, `skills/computer-act.js`, and
-the local portal/AT-SPI helpers. The input backend stays unavailable until the
-GNOME RemoteDesktop/EIS helper completes consent; no hidden uinput or CPU/QVAC
-fallback is used.
-
-Exit gate: Night Light, Text Editor save, Firefox URL entry, hands-off abort,
-and lock-screen kill pass `docs/cu-acceptance.md`.
-
-## Phase 8 — GTK4/libadwaita control center
-
-- [x] Implement General, Voice, Models, Memory, Skills, Computer use, Privacy,
-  Lab, and About pages.
-- [x] Show the single QVAC master status, GPU backend, VRAM, model, fit result,
-  queue, and failure reason.
-- [x] Make every capability visible even when its model does not fit.
-- [x] Add model download pause/resume through the master.
-- [x] Add voice enrollment and local preview.
-- [x] Add RAG workspace management, retention controls, audit export/delete,
-  and computer-use permissions.
-
-The GTK4/libadwaita application lives in `apps/control-center/main.py`. It uses
-NavigationSplitView and PreferencesGroups for all nine pages, persists local
-preferences, calls daemon-owned runtime/model methods over session D-Bus, and
-keeps GPU/model failures visible instead of starting another QVAC runtime.
-
-Exit gate: a user can configure the complete system without editing JSON.
-
-## Phase 9 — full QVAC capability coverage
-
-- [x] Chat, plan, summarize, rewrite, code, embeddings, RAG, batch prompts.
-- [x] Multimodal screenshot/file analysis, OCR, classification.
-- [x] Image generation/editing, video jobs, music jobs.
-- [x] ASR, diarized meetings, TTS, voice clone enrollment, translation relay.
-- [x] LoRA training with explicit confirmation and overnight job controls.
-- [x] BCI, VLA, and ABot-World as clearly labeled Lab capabilities.
-- [x] Registry/model manager, checksums, fit assessments, profiler, and job
-  cancellation.
-- [x] Optional P2P model fetch and memory sync only after local mode is stable.
-
-Phase 9 adapters are registered in `skills/phase9-tools.js`. Every adapter is
-permission-tagged and routes through the allowlisted QVAC master methods in
-`daemon/qvac-master.js`; the harness and UI never import QVAC directly. Media
-and streaming results return local job/request handles for later job control,
-and capabilities without a configured model report the QVAC error/state rather
-than falling back to cloud or CPU execution.
-
-Exit gate: every capability in the product inventory has a working skill or a
-truthful GPU/model-unavailable state.
-
-## Phase 10 — reliability, privacy, and performance
-
-- [x] OOM isolation: failed media jobs cannot kill the voice lane.
-- [x] GPU telemetry: utilization, VRAM, queue wait, load time, tokens/sec,
-  ASR latency, TTS latency, and dropped audio.
-- [x] Wake, feedback, Wayland/X11, accessibility, lock/unlock, crash/restart,
-  and nested Shell smoke tests.
-- [x] Verify no network calls except explicitly enabled model fetch/P2P paths.
-- [x] Verify no screenshots, microphone buffers, prompts, or transcripts are
-  retained unless the user enables retention.
-- [x] Audit computer actions with target metadata and screenshot hashes only.
-- [x] Add graceful restart and state recovery for daemon crashes.
-
-Phase 10 is implemented through `daemon/telemetry.js`, `daemon/recovery.js`,
-`daemon/job-runner.js`, `daemon/network-policy.js`, the privacy log, and the
-computer audit store. Background failures are returned as isolated job results;
-runtime status exposes scheduler counters, latency samples, GPU resources, and
-voice metrics. State checkpoints recover safely to `ARMED` after an interrupted
-turn, and retention checks exclude raw prompts, audio, screenshots, and
-transcripts by default.
-
-Exit gate: the full test matrix passes on supported Ubuntu GNOME sessions with
-GPU inference visibly confirmed.
-
-## Phase 11 — packaging and release
-
-- [x] Build a `.deb`, extension bundle, and user-service installer.
-- [x] Add first-run wizard for microphone, wake phrase, GPU/model profile, TTS,
-  and a typed smoke test.
-- [x] Add uninstall that removes only Jarvis-owned data after explicit choice.
-- [x] Publish a hardware compatibility matrix for Vulkan/GPU backends.
-- [x] Add release checklist, migration notes, and a reproducible local demo.
-
-Release automation lives in `.gitea/workflows/rolling-release.yml`. A push to
-`main` runs the complete verification and package build, then replaces the
-Gitea `rolling` prerelease using the repository's `RELEASE_TOKEN` secret.
-
-Definition of done: all product behaviors in the specification work on Ubuntu
-GNOME with one GPU-backed QVAC master, one harness planner, explicit computer-

+# Jarvis features
+
+Jarvis is a local-first voice and computer-use assistant for Ubuntu GNOME.
+This document summarizes the product surface and runtime contracts. Related
+detail lives in [Architecture](architecture.md), [Capabilities](capabilities.md),
+and the topic guides linked from the [documentation index](README.md).
+
+## Product contract
+
+Jarvis is local-first and session-scoped. The GNOME Shell extension stays thin;
+all inference, audio, jobs, memory, and computer-use decisions run outside
+gnome-shell. The copied harness in `vendor/agent-harness` is the sole cognitive
+loop and is wrapped rather than rewritten.
+
+## Runtime architecture
+
+- One user service, `jarvisd`, owns the QVAC SDK worker.
+- One `QVAC_CONFIG_PATH` points every Jarvis process at the same
+  `qvac.config.json`.
+- One model profile is active at a time. The QVAC master owns load, unload,
+  suspend, resume, cancellation, and model status.
+- Harness sessions call the master; skills never import QVAC independently and
+  never call `loadModel()` directly.
+- `qvac serve --openai` is an optional diagnostic/API surface and is never
+  started by `jarvisd`; it must not run beside the master in production.
+- GPU is mandatory for Jarvis runtime inference. The bridge requests GPU,
+  enables all GPU layers and GPU multimodal projection, and rejects a load
+  that QVAC reports as CPU. There is no silent CPU fallback.
+- Audio capture, TTS, OCR, embeddings, RAG, media jobs, and multimodal work
+  use the same QVAC master scheduler and obey a GPU memory budget.
+- A capability may report `unavailable: gpu-required` without weakening the
+  GPU policy or starting a competing runtime.
+
+Host-dependent pieces such as GPU visibility, wake-word bridge availability,
+portal consent, and live EIS input must be verified with the doctor commands
+and acceptance procedures on the target GNOME session.
+
+## Repository and dependencies
+
+- The cognitive core lives in `vendor/agent-harness` (copied, not symlinked).
+  Layout and entrypoints are documented in [agent-harness-map.md](agent-harness-map.md).
+- QVAC API rules are pinned in [QVAC.md](../QVAC.md); the repository locks
+  `@qvac/sdk` to 0.19.1.
+- Node 22.17+ workspaces support tests, packaging, and harness CLI use.
+  Production `jarvisd` is the packaged Bare process.
+- Root `qvac.config.json` holds localhost server settings and a single model
+  alias.
+- Boundaries exist for the daemon, computer-use helpers, GNOME extension,
+  D-Bus, and control center.
+- CI covers syntax, unit, schema, and extension checks.
+
+## QVAC master
+
+`daemon/qvac-master.js` is the only Jarvis QVAC owner. It:
+
+- Serializes model loading and shares the resulting harness engine.
+- Requests `device: "gpu"`, `gpu_layers: 99`, and GPU multimodal projection.
+- Rejects a CPU result instead of accepting QVAC's internal fallback.
+- Prefights QVAC GPU visibility before downloading or loading a model.
+- Enforces the vendored `@qvac/sdk` 0.19.x version at startup.
+- Tracks owner counts and exposes a single close path.
+- Honors `QVAC_CONFIG_PATH`, `JARVIS_QVAC_MODEL`, and GPU policy from the user
+  service.
+- Schedules lanes for interactive voice, computer-use vision, background
+  media, and maintenance with single-concurrency admission so background jobs
+  do not run beside the voice lane.
+- Owns model profile selection, `assessModelFit()`, and cancellation by
+  request ID or model ID.
+
+`npm run gpu-doctor` reports QVAC resources, backend hints, device, VRAM, SDK,
+and model-profile status. When no usable GPU is visible, the master refuses
+inference and never falls back to CPU.
+
+## Harness bridge and skills
+
+The daemon starts the harness through `Agent.create()`, routes token events,
+and uses GPU preflight as the only runtime gate for local chat. It supplies a
+voice-native system prompt and structured HUD sidecar.
+
+Jarvis registers runtime/status tools and safe local tools through the harness
+custom-tool registry with permission classes: read, write, dangerous, and
+computer-use. Confirmation events reach the HUD and spoken confirmation
+consumers over D-Bus.
+
+Desktop adapters report truthful unavailable states. File search/read,
+confirmed writes, local memory, and RAG workspace discovery are available;
+QVAC retrieval stays in the capability adapters. Master-owned wrappers cover
+lifecycle, resources, model fit, embeddings, translation, OCR, classification,
+image/video/music jobs, transcription, TTS, LoRA, BCI, VLA, and ABot-World.
+Wrappers use master status and never load QVAC themselves.
+
+## Daemon lifecycle and D-Bus
+
+Session interface `io.qvac.Jarvis.Session` provides `Arm`, `Sleep`, `Shutdown`,
+`Say`, `Ask`, `Cancel`, `SetMode`, and state queries. Signals cover tokens,
+transcripts, replies, audio level, chips, jobs, computer steps, and errors.
+
+Payloads stay small: stream events through a bounded Unix socket and use file
+paths for PCM and screenshots. Lock-screen handling cancels work, re-arms, and
+revokes computer use. Idle sleep uses QVAC `suspend()` and resumes on wake.
+Structured JSON logging uses an allowlist that excludes prompt, audio, image,
+and transcript contents by default.
+
+Live session-bus smoke tests require a normal GNOME user session.
+
+## Voice loop
+
+PipeWire captures at 16 kHz mono with a dedicated `Jarvis` node. A `WakeEngine`
+interface backs wake-word detection; VAD segments utterances for the QVAC ASR
+stream. State flows `ARMED → LISTENING → THINKING → SPEAKING → LISTENING`.
+
+The loop filters transcripts, applies a TTS anti-feedback gate and playback
+cooldown, and buffers sentences from streamed harness output into QVAC TTS.
+Fast paths cover cancel, sleep, privacy, dictate, screen, and computer-use
+commands, plus push-to-talk and typed fallback. Metrics track wake
+false-accept / false-reject and feedback drops.
+
+Implementation lives in `daemon/audio-pipewire.js`, `daemon/wake-engine.js`,
+`daemon/vad.js`, `daemon/voice-adapters.js`, `daemon/voice-loop.js`, and
+`daemon/audio-playback.js`. Speech models load as auxiliary models through the
+same QVAC master with GPU settings. Live wake detection defaults to the
+built-in CPU keyword spotter (`jarvis-wake-bridge`); a custom openWakeWord or
+sherpa-onnx command can replace it. Cloud wake is not supported.
+
+Live procedure: [voice acceptance](voice-acceptance.md).
+
+## GNOME HUD
+
+The GNOME 45+ ESM extension in `apps/gnome-extension/[email protected]/` owns
+only Shell UI and an asynchronous session-bus client. It provides a panel
+indicator, tray HUD with compact conversation menu, Chat/Thinking tabs,
+hold-to-talk, optional expanded session, transcript rows, chips, local/model
+status, reduced motion, high contrast, keyboard navigation, and screen-reader
+labels. Listening/privacy chips, job theater, target highlights, and a visible
+computer-use cursor are included.
+
+Enabling or disabling the extension never starts inference in the Shell
+process. `SpeakingLevel` / `ListeningLevel` are still emitted on D-Bus; the
+extension no-ops them (no waveform overlay). Accent color is configurable.
+
+## Computer use — observe
+
+`npm run cu-doctor` checks Wayland/X11, portal, PipeWire, AT-SPI, libei, and
+optional fallback detection. Observation uses portal ScreenCast/Screenshot with
+tmpfs frame normalization, GNOME Shell window/focus truth, AT-SPI tree
+snapshots with per-step stable refs, and OCR plus QVAC multimodal observe
+bundles.
+
+Tools include `cu.observe`, `cu.zoom`, `cu.tree`, and `cu.find`. Frames stay
+local in `/tmp/jarvis-cu`, downscale to WebP before perception, and return
+explicit unavailable reasons when portal, Shell, or AT-SPI providers cannot
+connect. Grant/revoke, expiry, step budget, audit hashes, and no-frame
+retention by default apply across observe and act.
+
+## Computer use — actuation
+
+RemoteDesktop portal consent and restore tokens back libei/EIS pointer,
+keyboard, scroll, drag, hover, and key input, including typed Unicode and
+submit. Target preview, agent cursor, and step ticker are shown in the HUD.
+
+Action preference order: domain tools, app D-Bus, AT-SPI, Shell helper, then
+vision coordinates. Password/PAM roles and lock-screen/greeter actions are
+refused. Destructive or high-impact actions require confirmation. ydotool and
+X11 tools stay disabled unless explicitly enabled. State-change self-checks,
+animation waits, and no-progress aborts apply.
+
+Actuation lives in `computer-use/portal-input.js`, `computer-use/actuator.js`,
+`computer-use/safety.js`, `computer-use/audit.js`, `skills/computer-act.js`,
+and the local portal/AT-SPI helpers. The input backend stays unavailable until
+the GNOME RemoteDesktop/EIS helper completes consent; no hidden uinput or
+CPU/QVAC fallback is used.
+
+Live procedure: [computer-use acceptance](cu-acceptance.md).
+
+## Control center
+
+The GTK4/libadwaita app in `apps/control-center/main.py` provides General,
+Voice, Models, Memory, Skills, Computer use, Privacy, Lab, and About pages. It
+shows single-master status, GPU backend, VRAM, model, fit result, queue, and
+failure reason. Every capability stays visible even when its model does not
+fit.
+
+Users can pause/resume model download through the master, enroll and preview
+voice, manage RAG workspaces, set retention, export/delete audits, and manage
+computer-use permissions. Preferences persist locally; GPU/model failures stay
+visible instead of starting another QVAC runtime.
+
+## QVAC capability coverage
+
+Adapters in `skills/phase9-tools.js` cover chat, plan, summarize, rewrite,
+code, embeddings, RAG, batch prompts, multimodal screenshot/file analysis,
+OCR, classification, image generation/editing, video and music jobs, ASR,
+diarized meetings, TTS, voice clone enrollment, translation relay, LoRA
+training with confirmation and overnight job controls, and labeled Lab slots
+for BCI, VLA, and ABot-World.
+
+Registry/model manager, checksums, fit assessments, profiler, and job
+cancellation are included. Optional P2P model fetch and memory sync are
+opt-in after local mode is stable. Every adapter is permission-tagged and
+routes through allowlisted QVAC master methods; the harness and UI never
+import QVAC directly. Media and streaming results return local job/request
+handles. Capabilities without a configured model report the QVAC error/state
+rather than falling back to cloud or CPU.
+
+## Reliability, privacy, and performance
+
+- Failed media jobs cannot kill the voice lane (OOM isolation).
+- GPU telemetry covers utilization, VRAM, queue wait, load time, tokens/sec,
+  ASR latency, TTS latency, and dropped audio.
+- Smoke coverage includes wake, feedback, Wayland/X11, accessibility,
+  lock/unlock, crash/restart, and nested Shell behavior.
+- No network calls except explicitly enabled model fetch/P2P paths.
+- Screenshots, microphone buffers, prompts, and transcripts are not retained
+  unless the user enables retention.
+- Computer actions are audited with target metadata and screenshot hashes
+  only.
+- Graceful restart and state recovery restore safely to `ARMED` after an
+  interrupted turn.
+
+Supporting modules include `daemon/telemetry.js`, `daemon/recovery.js`,
+`daemon/job-runner.js`, `daemon/network-policy.js`, the privacy log, and the
+computer audit store. Runtime status exposes scheduler counters, latency
+samples, GPU resources, and voice metrics.
+
+## Packaging and release
+
+Builds produce a `.deb`, extension bundle, and user-service installer. A
+first-run wizard covers microphone, wake phrase, GPU/model profile, TTS, and a
+typed smoke test. Uninstall removes only Jarvis-owned data after an explicit
+choice. Hardware compatibility is documented for Vulkan/GPU backends.
+
+Release automation lives in `.gitea/workflows/rolling-release.yml`. A push to
+`main` runs verification and package build, then replaces the Gitea `rolling`
+prerelease using the repository `RELEASE_TOKEN` secret. See
+[RELEASE.md](RELEASE.md), [MIGRATIONS.md](MIGRATIONS.md), and
+[local-demo.md](local-demo.md).

Keep at most three directory levels and twenty direct child folders; a deeper exception needs user approval documented as maxDepth: allowed. Legacy filenames remain valid.
 Every new Markdown note has YAML front matter: title, created (YYYY-MM-DD), lastModified (YYYY-MM-DD), category, and tags as a YAML list, not comma-separated text. Preserve created on edits and update lastModified. Use one clear subject per curated note, descriptive headings, concise context, evidence/source links, and explicit decisions/actions when applicable.

 - On any turn that teaches a durable fact, preference, name, decision, outcome, or open loop, write it before the final reply. Do not ask. Do not wait to be told to remember.
 - Search first and update the existing note. Read before you replace. Never write empty placeholders.
-- If the `obsidian` tool is registered, the vault is the durable store. Write there without confirmation. Otherwise use these files, or `memory_write` / `memory_remember`.
+- If the `obsidian` tool is registered, it is the only vault tool. Call `obsidian` with `action` set to `memory_search`, `read`, `write`, `list`, `search`, `mkdir`, `move`, `delete`, `trash`, `restore`, or `status`. Do not invent `obsidian_write` or call `memory_search` as its own tool. Otherwise use these files, or `memory_write` / `memory_remember`.
 - Avoid secrets unless the user explicitly asks to store one.
 - Writes to these workspace markdown files, memory notes, and the agent vault do not wait for confirmation.
