fix(build): declare VARIANT in local script half (was remote-only)

The VARIANT variable was set inside the REMOTE_SCRIPT heredoc for
naming artifacts during the cargo tauri build, but never declared
in the local half of the script where it's used to rename downloaded
files. Under `set -u` strict mode this aborted the local downloads
with "unbound variable: VARIANT" after a successful remote build.

+description: >
+  Ultra-compressed communication mode. Slash token usage ~75% by speaking like caveman
+  while keeping full technical accuracy. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman",
+  "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman. Also auto-triggers
+  when token efficiency is requested.
+---
+
+# Caveman Mode
+
+## Core Rule
+
+Respond like smart caveman. Cut articles, filler, pleasantries. Keep all technical substance.
+
+## Grammar
+
+- Drop articles (a, an, the)
+- Drop filler (just, really, basically, actually, simply)
+- Drop pleasantries (sure, certainly, of course, happy to)
+- Short synonyms (big not extensive, fix not "implement a solution for")
+- No hedging (skip "it might be worth considering")
+- Fragments fine. No need full sentence
+- Technical terms stay exact. "Polymorphism" stays "polymorphism"
+- Code blocks unchanged. Caveman speak around code, not in code
+- Error messages quoted exact. Caveman only for explanation
+
+## Pattern
+
+```
+[thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].
+```
+
+Not:
+> Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is likely caused by...
+
+Yes:
+> Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use `<` not `<=`. Fix:
+
+## Examples
+
+**User:** Why is my React component re-rendering?
+
+**Normal (69 tokens):** "The reason your React component is re-rendering is likely because you're creating a new object reference on each render cycle. When you pass an inline object as a prop, React's shallow comparison sees it as a different object every time, which triggers a re-render. I'd recommend using useMemo to memoize the object."
+
+**Caveman (19 tokens):** "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in `useMemo`."
+
+---
+
+**User:** How do I set up a PostgreSQL connection pool?
+
+**Caveman:**
+```
+Use `pg` pool:
+```
+```js
+const pool = new Pool({
+  max: 20,
+  idleTimeoutMillis: 30000,
+  connectionTimeoutMillis: 2000,
+})
+```
+```
+max = concurrent connections. Keep under DB limit. idleTimeout kill stale conn.
+```
+
+## Boundaries
+
+- Code: write normal. Caveman English only
+- Git commits: normal
+- PR descriptions: normal
+- User say "stop caveman" or "normal mode": revert immediately

+//! Linux AEC backend: CPAL capture + playback wired through the WebRTC Audio
+//! Processing Module (AEC3 + noise suppression + high-pass filter).
+//!
+//! This is the same algorithm used by Chrome WebRTC, Zoom, Teams, Jitsi, and
+//! any other "serious" Linux VoIP app. It runs in-process — no dependency on
+//! PulseAudio's module-echo-cancel or PipeWire's filter-chain, so it works
+//! identically on ALSA / PulseAudio / PipeWire systems.
+//!
+//! ## Architecture
+//!
+//! A single module-level `Arc<Mutex<Processor>>` is shared between the
+//! capture and playback paths. On each 20 ms frame (960 samples @ 48 kHz
+//! mono):
+//!
+//! - **Playback path**: `LinuxAecPlayback::start` spawns the usual CPAL
+//!   output thread, but wraps each chunk in a call to
+//!   `Processor::process_render_frame` **before** handing it to CPAL. That
+//!   gives APM an authoritative reference of exactly what's going out to
+//!   the speakers (same approach Zoom/Teams/Jitsi use). The AEC then knows
+//!   what to cancel when it sees echo in the capture stream.
+//!
+//! - **Capture path**: `LinuxAecCapture::start` spawns the usual CPAL
+//!   input thread, and runs `Processor::process_capture_frame` on each
+//!   incoming mic chunk **in place** before pushing it into the ring
+//!   buffer. The AEC subtracts the echo using the render reference it
+//!   saw on the playback side.
+//!
+//! APM is strict about frame size: it requires exactly 10 ms = 480 samples
+//! per call at 48 kHz. Our pipeline uses 20 ms = 960 samples, so each 20 ms
+//! frame is split into two 480-sample halves, APM is called twice, and the
+//! halves are stitched back together.
+//!
+//! APM only accepts f32 samples in `[-1.0, 1.0]`, so we convert i16 → f32
+//! before the call and f32 → i16 after (with clamping on the return path).
+//!
+//! ## Stream delay
+//!
+//! AEC needs to know roughly how long it takes between a sample being passed
+//! to `process_render_frame` and its echo showing up at `process_capture_frame`
+//! — i.e. the round trip through CPAL playback → speaker → air → microphone
+//! → CPAL capture. AEC3's internal estimator tracks this within a window
+//! around whatever hint we give it. We hardcode 60 ms as a reasonable
+//! starting point for typical Linux audio stacks; the delay estimator does
+//! the fine-tuning automatically.
+//!
+//! ## Thread safety
+//!
+//! The 0.3.x line of `webrtc-audio-processing` takes `&mut self` on both
+//! `process_capture_frame` and `process_render_frame`, so the `Processor`
+//! needs a `Mutex` around it for cross-thread sharing. The capture and
+//! playback threads each acquire the lock briefly (sub-millisecond per
+//! 10 ms frame) so contention is minimal at our frame rates.

+    //   ring capacity (7679) across all subsequent heartbeats, so Oboe
+    //   accepted zero samples after startup. Still inaudible.

+//! Each relay maintains a forwarding table per global room. When a local participant
+//! sends media in a global room, it's forwarded to all peer relays that have the room
+//! active. Incoming federated media is delivered to local participants and optionally
+//! forwarded to other active peers (multi-hop).

+# WarzonePhone Relay Administration Guide
+
+This document covers deploying, configuring, and operating wzp-relay instances, including federation setup, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
+
+## Relay Deployment
+
+### Binary
+
+Build and run the relay directly:
+
+```bash
+# Build release binary
+cargo build --release --bin wzp-relay
+
+# Run with defaults (listen on 0.0.0.0:4433, room mode, no auth)
+./target/release/wzp-relay
+
+# Run with config file
+./target/release/wzp-relay --config /etc/wzp/relay.toml
+```
+
+### Remote Build (Linux)
+
+The included build script provisions a temporary Hetzner Cloud VPS, builds all binaries, and downloads them:
+
+```bash
+# Requires: hcloud CLI authenticated, SSH key "wz" registered
+./scripts/build-linux.sh
+# Outputs to: target/linux-x86_64/
+```
+
+Produces: `wzp-relay`, `wzp-client`, `wzp-client-audio`, `wzp-web`, `wzp-bench`.
+
+### Docker
+
+```dockerfile

+
+## Federation Setup
+
+### Concepts
+
+- **`[[peers]]`** -- outbound: relays we connect TO. Requires address + fingerprint
+- **`[[trusted]]`** -- inbound: relays we accept connections FROM. Requires fingerprint only (they connect to us)
+- **`[[global_rooms]]`** -- rooms bridged across all federated peers. Participants on different relays in the same global room hear each other
+
+### Getting Your Relay's Fingerprint
+
+When a relay starts, it logs its TLS fingerprint:
+
+```
+INFO TLS certificate (deterministic from relay identity) tls_fingerprint="a5d6:e3c6:5ae7:185c:4eb1:af89:daed:4a43"
+INFO federation: to peer with this relay, add to relay.toml:
+INFO   [[peers]]
+INFO   url = "193.180.213.68:4433"
+INFO   fingerprint = "a5d6:e3c6:5ae7:185c:4eb1:af89:daed:4a43"
+```
+
+Share this information with the administrator of the peer relay.
+
+### Unknown Peer Connections
+
+When an unknown relay tries to federate, the log shows:
+
+```
+WARN unknown relay wants to federate addr=10.0.0.5:12345 fp="7f2a:b391:0c44:..."
+INFO   to accept, add to relay.toml:
+INFO   [[trusted]]
+INFO   fingerprint = "7f2a:b391:0c44:..."
+INFO   label = "Relay at 10.0.0.5:12345"
+```
+
+## Example Configurations
+
+### Single Relay (Minimal)
+
+```toml
+# /etc/wzp/relay.toml
+# Minimal config -- all defaults, just enable metrics
+metrics_port = 9090
+```
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+wzp-relay --config /etc/wzp/relay.toml
+```
+
+### Single Relay (Full Featured)
+
+```toml
+# /etc/wzp/relay.toml
+listen_addr = "0.0.0.0:4433"
+max_sessions = 200
+log_level = "info"
+
+# Metrics
+metrics_port = 9090
+
+# Authentication
+auth_url = "https://chat.example.com/v1/auth/validate"
+
+# Browser support
+ws_port = 8080
+static_dir = "/opt/wzp/web"
+
+# Performance
+trunking_enabled = true
+
+# Jitter buffer tuning
+jitter_target_depth = 50
+jitter_max_depth = 250
+```
+
+### Two-Relay Federation
+
+**Relay A** (`relay-a.toml` on 193.180.213.68):
+
+```toml
+listen_addr = "0.0.0.0:4433"
+metrics_port = 9090
+
+# Outbound: connect to Relay B
+[[peers]]
+url = "10.0.0.5:4433"
+fingerprint = "7f2a:b391:0c44:9e1d:a8b2:c5d7:e3f0:1234"
+label = "Relay B (US)"
+
+# Accept inbound from Relay B
+[[trusted]]
+fingerprint = "7f2a:b391:0c44:9e1d:a8b2:c5d7:e3f0:1234"
+label = "Relay B (US)"
+
+# Bridge these rooms
+[[global_rooms]]
+name = "android"
+
+[[global_rooms]]
+name = "general"
+```
+
+**Relay B** (`relay-b.toml` on 10.0.0.5):
+
+```toml
+listen_addr = "0.0.0.0:4433"
+metrics_port = 9090
+
+# Outbound: connect to Relay A
+[[peers]]
+url = "193.180.213.68:4433"
+fingerprint = "a5d6:e3c6:5ae7:185c:4eb1:af89:daed:4a43"
+label = "Relay A (EU)"
+
+# Accept inbound from Relay A
+[[trusted]]
+fingerprint = "a5d6:e3c6:5ae7:185c:4eb1:af89:daed:4a43"
+label = "Relay A (EU)"
+
+# Same global rooms
+[[global_rooms]]
+name = "android"
+
+[[global_rooms]]
+name = "general"
+```
+
+### Three-Relay Chain (Full Mesh)
+
+For three relays (A, B, C) in full mesh federation, each relay needs peers and trusted entries for the other two:
+
+**Relay A** (EU):
+
+```toml
+listen_addr = "0.0.0.0:4433"
+metrics_port = 9090
+
+# Probe all peers
+probe_targets = ["10.0.0.5:4433", "10.0.0.9:4433"]
+probe_mesh = true
+
+# Peers
+[[peers]]
+url = "10.0.0.5:4433"
+fingerprint = "7f2a:b391:0c44:9e1d:a8b2:c5d7:e3f0:1234"
+label = "Relay B (US)"
+
+[[peers]]
+url = "10.0.0.9:4433"
+fingerprint = "3c8e:d2a1:f7b5:6049:81c3:e9d4:a2f6:5678"
+label = "Relay C (APAC)"
+
+# Trust
+[[trusted]]
+fingerprint = "7f2a:b391:0c44:9e1d:a8b2:c5d7:e3f0:1234"
+label = "Relay B (US)"
+
+[[trusted]]
+fingerprint = "3c8e:d2a1:f7b5:6049:81c3:e9d4:a2f6:5678"
+label = "Relay C (APAC)"
+
+# Global rooms
+[[global_rooms]]
+name = "android"
+
+[[global_rooms]]
+name = "general"
+```
+
+**Relay B** and **Relay C** follow the same pattern, listing the other two relays in their `[[peers]]` and `[[trusted]]` sections.
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Prometheus Metrics
+
+Enable with `--metrics-port <port>` or `metrics_port` in TOML. The relay exposes metrics at `GET /metrics` on the specified HTTP port.
+
+#### Relay Metrics
+
+| Metric | Type | Labels | Description |
+|--------|------|--------|-------------|
+| `wzp_relay_active_sessions` | Gauge | -- | Current active sessions |
+| `wzp_relay_active_rooms` | Gauge | -- | Current active rooms |
+| `wzp_relay_packets_forwarded_total` | Counter | `room` | Total packets forwarded |
+| `wzp_relay_bytes_forwarded_total` | Counter | `room` | Total bytes forwarded |
+| `wzp_relay_auth_attempts_total` | Counter | `result` (ok/fail) | Auth validation attempts |
+| `wzp_relay_handshake_duration_seconds` | Histogram | -- | Crypto handshake time |
+
+#### Per-Session Metrics
+
+| Metric | Type | Labels | Description |
+|--------|------|--------|-------------|
+| `wzp_relay_session_jitter_buffer_depth` | Gauge | `session_id` | Buffer depth per session |
+| `wzp_relay_session_loss_pct` | Gauge | `session_id` | Packet loss percentage |
+| `wzp_relay_session_rtt_ms` | Gauge | `session_id` | Round-trip time |
+| `wzp_relay_session_underruns_total` | Counter | `session_id` | Jitter buffer underruns |

+
+#### Inter-Relay Probe Metrics
+
+| Metric | Type | Labels | Description |

+| `wzp_probe_loss_pct` | Gauge | `target` | Loss to peer relay |
+| `wzp_probe_jitter_ms` | Gauge | `target` | Jitter to peer relay |
+| `wzp_probe_up` | Gauge | `target` | 1 if reachable, 0 if not |
+
+### Prometheus Scrape Config
+
+```yaml
+# prometheus.yml
+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: 'wzp-relay'
+    static_configs:
+      - targets:
+        - 'relay-a:9090'
+        - 'relay-b:9090'
+    scrape_interval: 10s
+```
+
+### Grafana Dashboard
+
+A pre-built dashboard is available at `docs/grafana-dashboard.json`. Import it into Grafana for:
+
+1. **Relay Health** -- active sessions, rooms, packets/s, bytes/s
+2. **Call Quality** -- per-session jitter depth, loss%, RTT, underruns over time
+3. **Inter-Relay Mesh** -- latency heatmap, probe status, loss trends
+4. **Web Bridge** -- active connections, frames bridged, auth failures
+
+### Event Log (Protocol Analyzer)
+
+Use `--event-log` to write a JSONL event log that traces every federation media packet through the relay pipeline. Essential for debugging federation audio issues.
+
+```bash
+wzp-relay --config relay.toml --event-log /tmp/events.jsonl
+```
+
+Each media packet emits events at every decision point:
+- `federation_ingress` — packet arrived from a peer relay
+- `local_deliver` — packet delivered to local participants
+- `dedup_drop` — packet dropped as duplicate
+- `rate_limit_drop` — packet dropped by rate limiter
+- `room_not_found` — packet for unknown room
+- `local_deliver_error` — delivery to local client failed
+
+Analyze with:
+```bash
+# Count events by type
+cat events.jsonl | python3 -c "
+import json, collections, sys
+c = collections.Counter()
+for l in sys.stdin: c[json.loads(l)['event']] += 1
+for k,v in sorted(c.items(), key=lambda x:-x[1]): print(f'  {k}: {v}')
+"
+```
+
+### Remote Version Check
+
+Verify a deployed relay's version without SSH:
+
+```bash
+wzp-client --version-check <relay-addr:port>
+```
+
+### Debug Tap
+
+Use `--debug-tap` to log packet headers for debugging:
+
+```bash
+# Log headers for room "android"
+wzp-relay --debug-tap android
+
+# Log headers for all rooms
+wzp-relay --debug-tap '*'
+```
+
+Or in TOML:
+
+```toml
+debug_tap = "android"
+```
+
+### Mesh Status
+
+Print the current mesh health table (diagnostic):
+
+```bash
+wzp-relay --mesh-status
+```
+
+## Authentication
+
+### featherChat Token Validation
+
+When `--auth-url` is set, the relay requires clients to send an `AuthToken` signal message as their first message after QUIC connection. The relay validates the token by calling:
+
+```
+POST <auth_url>
+Content-Type: application/json
+Authorization: Bearer <token>
+```
+
+Expected response:
+
+```json
+{
+  "valid": true,
+  "fingerprint": "a5d6:e3c6:...",
+  "alias": "username"
+}
+```
+
+If validation fails, the client is disconnected.
+
+### Without Authentication
+
+When `--auth-url` is not set, any client can connect. The relay logs:
+
+```
+INFO auth disabled -- any client can connect (use --auth-url to enable)
+```
+
+## Identity Persistence
+
+### Relay Identity File
+
+The relay stores its identity seed at `~/.wzp/relay-identity` (a 64-character hex string). This seed:
+
+- Is generated automatically on first run
+- Persists across restarts
+- Derives the relay's Ed25519 signing key and X25519 key agreement key
+- Derives the TLS certificate deterministically (same seed = same cert = same fingerprint)
+
+If the identity file is corrupted, the relay generates a new one and logs a warning. This will change the relay's TLS fingerprint, requiring federation peers to update their config.
+
+### Backup
+
+Back up the identity file to preserve the relay's fingerprint:
+
+```bash
+cp ~/.wzp/relay-identity /secure/backup/relay-identity
+```
+
+To restore, copy the file back before starting the relay.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+| Problem | Cause | Solution |
+|---------|-------|---------|
+| "unknown argument" on startup | Unrecognized CLI flag | Check `wzp-relay --help` for valid flags |
+| "failed to load config" | Invalid TOML syntax | Validate TOML file with `toml-cli` or similar |
+| "auth failed" for all clients | Wrong `auth_url` or featherChat server down | Verify URL is reachable: `curl -X POST <auth_url>` |
+| "session rejected" | Max sessions reached | Increase `max_sessions` in config |
+| Clients cannot connect | Firewall blocking UDP 4433 | Open UDP port 4433 in firewall |
+| Federation "unknown relay wants to federate" | Peer's fingerprint not in `[[trusted]]` | Add the logged fingerprint to `[[trusted]]` |
+| Federation "fingerprint mismatch" | Peer relay restarted with new identity | Update the fingerprint in `[[peers]]` config |
+| Federation audio silent on consecutive connects | Dedup filter or jitter buffer state | Verify relay is running latest build with time-based dedup |
+| Federation participant shows wrong relay label | Hub relay not propagating original labels | Update relay to latest build (label preservation fix) |
+| Federation disconnect takes >15 seconds | QUIC idle timeout + stale sweeper | Normal: sweeper runs every 5s with 15s TTL. Use latest client with SIGTERM handler for instant disconnect |
+| High packet loss between relays | Network congestion or misconfiguration | Check `wzp_probe_loss_pct` metric; consider relay chaining |
+| Jitter buffer overruns | Packets arriving faster than playout | Increase `jitter_max_depth` |
+| Jitter buffer underruns | Packets arriving too slowly or lost | Check network quality; increase `jitter_target_depth` |
+| "probe connection closed" | Peer relay unreachable or crashed | Check peer relay status; will auto-reconnect |
+| WebSocket clients cannot connect | `ws_port` not set | Add `--ws-port <port>` or `ws_port` in TOML |
+| Browser mic access denied | Not using HTTPS | Use TLS termination in front of the relay or serve via `wzp-web --tls` |
+
+### Log Level Tuning
+
+Set `RUST_LOG` environment variable for fine-grained control:
+
+```bash
+# All relay logs at debug level
+RUST_LOG=debug wzp-relay
+
+# Only federation at trace, everything else at info
+RUST_LOG=info,wzp_relay::federation=trace wzp-relay
+
+# Quiet mode -- only warnings and errors
+RUST_LOG=warn wzp-relay
+```
+
+### Health Checks
+

+
+## Build Pipelines
+
+All production artifacts (Android APK, Linux x86_64 binaries, Windows `.exe`) are built on **SepehrHomeserverdk** using Docker, not on developer workstations. The pipelines are fire-and-forget: a local script invokes a `tmux` session on the remote, the build runs in a Docker container, and the artifact is uploaded to `paste.dk.manko.yoga` (rustypaste) with a notification sent to `ntfy.sh/wzp` on start and completion.
+
+### Docker images
+
+Two long-lived images live on the remote:
+
+| Image | Used by | Base | Key contents |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `wzp-android-builder` | Android APK (Tauri mobile + legacy Kotlin), Linux x86_64 relay/CLI | Debian bookworm | Rust stable with Android targets, cargo-ndk, NDK 26.1, Android SDK (API 34 + 35 + 36), JDK 17, Gradle 8.5, Node.js 20, cmake, ninja, tauri-cli 2.x |
+| `wzp-windows-builder` | Windows x86_64 `.exe` | Debian bookworm | Rust stable with `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` target, cargo-xwin (with pre-warmed MSVC CRT + Windows SDK cache), Node.js 20, cmake, ninja, clang, lld, nasm |
+
+Both images are rebuilt rarely — once the base toolchain is stable, rebuilds are only needed to pick up new dependencies or security patches.
+
+**Rebuilding an image** (fire-and-forget, ~10 min on a warm base):
+
+```bash
+# Windows
+./scripts/build-windows-docker.sh --image-build
+
+# Android (upload and rebuild handled by the Android build script itself — see
+# its --image-build flag or equivalent)
+```
+
+The `--image-build` flag uploads the local Dockerfile to the remote, kicks off `docker build` under `nohup`, and returns immediately. Monitor with:
+
+```bash
+ssh SepehrHomeserverdk 'tail -f /tmp/wzp-windows-image-build.log'
+```
+
+### Pipeline: Android APK (Tauri Mobile)
+
+```bash
+./scripts/build-tauri-android.sh                  # Full: pull + build + upload + notify
+./scripts/build-tauri-android.sh --no-pull        # Skip git fetch

+./scripts/build-linux-docker.sh --clean           # Force-clean target
+./scripts/build-linux-docker.sh --install         # Wait for completion and download locally
+```
+
+- **Branch**: `feat/android-voip-client` (script default — override by editing the script or passing an env var)
+- **Image**: `wzp-android-builder` (shared, not a separate Linux-only image)
+- **Targets built**: `wzp-relay`, `wzp-client`, `wzp-client-audio` (with `--features audio`), `wzp-web`, `wzp-bench`
+- **Output**: `wzp-linux-x86_64.tar.gz` with all five binaries → uploaded to rustypaste
+- **Local landing dir** (with `--install`): `target/linux-x86_64/`
+
+### Pipeline: Windows x86_64 (`wzp-desktop.exe`)
+
+```bash
+./scripts/build-windows-docker.sh                 # Full: pull + build + download locally
+./scripts/build-windows-docker.sh --no-pull       # Skip git fetch
+./scripts/build-windows-docker.sh --rust          # Force-clean target-windows cache
+./scripts/build-windows-docker.sh --image-build   # Rebuild the Docker image (fire-and-forget)
+```
+
+- **Branch**: `feat/desktop-audio-rewrite`
+- **Image**: `wzp-windows-builder`
+- **Build command**: `cargo xwin build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc --bin wzp-desktop`
+- **Output**: `wzp-desktop.exe` (~16 MB) → downloaded to `target/windows-exe/wzp-desktop.exe`, also uploaded to rustypaste
+- **Target cache volume**: `target-windows` (separate from the Android target cache to avoid triple cross-contamination)
+- **Shared cache volumes**: `cargo-registry`, `cargo-git` (shared with Android — both pipelines pull the same crates)
+
+**A/B-preserving workflow** for testing audio backends: rename the prior `.exe` before re-running the build, so both coexist:
+
+```bash
+# Preserve prior build as the noAEC baseline
+mv target/windows-exe/wzp-desktop.exe target/windows-exe/wzp-desktop-noAEC.exe
+./scripts/build-windows-docker.sh
+ls -la target/windows-exe/
+# wzp-desktop-noAEC.exe  (previous build)
+# wzp-desktop.exe        (new build)
+```
+
+### Alternative pipeline: Windows via Hetzner Cloud VPS
+
+For situations where Docker image rebuilds would be disruptive, or for one-shot debug builds on a clean machine:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/build-windows-cloud.sh                  # Full: create VM → build → download → destroy
+./scripts/build-windows-cloud.sh --prepare        # Create VM + install deps, don't build
+./scripts/build-windows-cloud.sh --build          # Build on existing VM
+./scripts/build-windows-cloud.sh --transfer       # Download .exe from existing VM
+./scripts/build-windows-cloud.sh --destroy        # Delete the VM
+WZP_KEEP_VM=1 ./scripts/build-windows-cloud.sh    # Don't auto-destroy after successful build
+```
+
+- **Provider**: Hetzner Cloud
+- **Default server type**: `cx33` (8 GB RAM, 8 vCPU — `cx23` with 4 GB OOMs on the tauri+rustls cross-compile)
+- **Image**: `ubuntu-24.04`
+- **SSH key**: must be named `wz` in Hetzner and loaded in the local ssh-agent
+- **Reminder**: set `WZP_KEEP_VM=1` for multi-build sessions, then **remember to `--destroy` at end of day** so the VM isn't left running overnight. This is tracked in the auto-memory as `feedback_keep_windows_builder_vm.md`.
+
+### Notifications
+
+All pipelines post to `https://ntfy.sh/wzp`. Subscribe from your phone via the [ntfy.sh app](https://ntfy.sh/) to get push notifications on build start/success/failure. Messages include the short git hash and the rustypaste URL on success:
+
+```
+WZP Windows build OK [03a80a3] (16M)
+https://paste.dk.manko.yoga/<uuid>/wzp-desktop.exe
+```
+
+### Rustypaste credentials
+
+Build pipelines read `rusty_address` and `rusty_auth_token` from the `.env` file at `/mnt/storage/manBuilder/.env` on SepehrHomeserverdk. Local scripts that upload directly (`build-windows-cloud.sh` when run in `--transfer` mode) read from `~/.wzp/rustypaste.env` with the same variable names. Both files must be kept in sync manually if rotated.

+# Branch: `feat/desktop-audio-rewrite`
+
+Home of the Tauri desktop client for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Named "audio-rewrite" because the original driver was replacing a CPAL-only audio pipeline with platform-native backends that support OS-level echo cancellation (VoiceProcessingIO on macOS, WASAPI Communications on Windows), but the branch has grown into the full desktop story — Windows cross-compilation, vendored dependencies, history UI, direct calling, the whole thing.
+
+## Purpose
+
+The desktop client shares 100% of its frontend (`desktop/src/`) and Tauri command layer (`desktop/src-tauri/src/lib.rs`, `engine.rs`, `history.rs`) with the Android build on `android-rewrite`. Differences are limited to:
+
+- **Audio backends**, which are platform-gated via Cargo target-dep sections in `desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml` and feature flags in `crates/wzp-client/Cargo.toml`.
+- **Identity storage paths**, which resolve via Tauri's `app_data_dir()` (`~/Library/Application Support/…` on macOS, `%APPDATA%\…` on Windows, `~/.local/share/…` on Linux).
+- **Build toolchains**: native `cargo build` on macOS/Linux, `cargo xwin` cross-compile from Linux for Windows via Docker on SepehrHomeserverdk.
+
+## Audio backend matrix
+
+| Target | Capture | Playback | AEC |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| macOS | CPAL (WASAPI/CoreAudio via cpal crate) OR VoiceProcessingIO (native Core Audio) | CPAL | VoiceProcessingIO native AEC (when `vpio` feature enabled) |
+| Windows (default) | CPAL → WASAPI shared mode | CPAL → WASAPI shared mode | None |
+| Windows (AEC build) | Direct WASAPI with `IAudioClient2::SetClientProperties(AudioCategory_Communications)` | CPAL → WASAPI shared mode | **OS-level**: Windows routes the capture stream through the driver's communications APO chain (AEC + NS + AGC) |
+| Linux | CPAL → ALSA/PulseAudio | CPAL → ALSA/PulseAudio | None |
+
+The macOS VPIO path is gated behind the `vpio` feature in `wzp-client` and the `coreaudio-rs` dep is itself `cfg(target_os = "macos")`, so enabling the feature on Windows or Linux is a no-op.
+
+The Windows AEC path is gated behind the `windows-aec` feature, also target-gated (the `windows` crate dep is only pulled in on Windows), and re-exports `WasapiAudioCapture as AudioCapture` when enabled so downstream code doesn't need to know which backend is active. The current Windows build at `target/windows-exe/wzp-desktop.exe` has `windows-aec` on; a baseline noAEC build is preserved at `target/windows-exe/wzp-desktop-noAEC.exe` for A/B comparison on real hardware.
+
+See [`BRANCH-android-rewrite.md`](BRANCH-android-rewrite.md) for Oboe audio on Android, which is its own story.
+
+## Recent major work
+
+### 1. Desktop direct calling feature (commit `2fd9465` and neighbors)
+
+Brought direct 1:1 calls to macOS with full parity to the Android client:
+
+- **Identity path fix**: the desktop `CallEngine::start` was loading seed from `$HOME/.wzp/identity` while `register_signal` used Tauri's `app_data_dir()`, producing two different fingerprints per run. Both now route through `load_or_create_seed()` which uses `app_data_dir()` everywhere.
+- **Call history with dedup**: `history.rs` stores a `Vec<CallHistoryEntry>` with a `CallDirection` enum (`Placed | Received | Missed`). The `log` function dedupes by `call_id` so an outgoing call isn't logged twice as "missed" (when the signal loop's `DirectCallOffer` handler fires) and then again as "placed" (when `place_call` returns). Instead the entry is updated in place.
+- **Recent contacts row**: a horizontal chip UI in the direct-call panel showing the last N peers with friendly aliases, clickable to re-dial.
+- **Deregister button**: lets a user drop their signal registration without quitting the app, useful when switching identities.
+- **Random alias derivation**: a new client sees a human-friendly alias like "silent-forest-41" derived deterministically from its seed, so it's identifiable in the UI before manual naming.
+- **Default room "general"** instead of "android", since the desktop client is not Android.
+
+### 2. macOS VoiceProcessingIO integration
+
+`crates/wzp-client/src/audio_vpio.rs` — a native Core Audio implementation using `AUGraph` + `AudioComponentInstance` with the VPIO audio unit. Gives you hardware-accelerated AEC (same AEC Apple ships in FaceTime / iMessage audio / voice memos) at the cost of tight coupling to Apple frameworks. Lock-free ring pattern matches the CPAL path so the upper layers don't notice the difference.
+
+Enabled by `features = ["audio", "vpio"]` in the macOS target section of `desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml`.
+
+### 3. Windows cross-compilation via cargo-xwin
+
+Cross-compiling Rust + Tauri to `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` from Linux using `cargo-xwin`, which downloads the Microsoft CRT + Windows SDK on demand and drives `clang-cl` as the compiler. No Windows machine is needed for the build itself — only for runtime testing.
+
+**Build infrastructure**:
+
+- `scripts/Dockerfile.windows-builder` — Debian bookworm + Rust + cargo-xwin + Node 20 + cmake + ninja + llvm + clang + lld + nasm. Pre-warms the xwin MSVC CRT cache at image build time (saves ~4 minutes per cold build).
+- `scripts/build-windows-docker.sh` — fire-and-forget remote build via Docker on SepehrHomeserverdk. Same pattern as `build-tauri-android.sh`. Uploads the `.exe` to rustypaste and fires an `ntfy.sh/wzp` notification on start and on completion.
+- `scripts/build-windows-cloud.sh` — alternative pipeline using a temporary Hetzner Cloud VPS. Slower (full VM spin-up), more expensive, but useful when Docker image rebuilds would be disruptive.
+
+**Two critical blockers resolved** on the way to a working `.exe`:
+
+1. **libopus SSE4.1 / SSSE3 intrinsic compile failure**. `audiopus_sys` vendors libopus 1.3.1, whose `CMakeLists.txt` gates the per-file `-msse4.1` `COMPILE_FLAGS` behind `if(NOT MSVC)`. Under `clang-cl`, CMake sets `MSVC=1` (because `CMAKE_C_COMPILER_FRONTEND_VARIANT=MSVC` triggers `Platform/Windows-MSVC.cmake` which unconditionally sets the variable), so the per-file flag is never set and the SSE4.1 source files compile without the target feature — then fail with 20+ "always_inline function '_mm_cvtepi16_epi32' requires target feature 'sse4.1'" errors.
+
+   Fixed by **vendoring audiopus_sys into `vendor/audiopus_sys/`** and patching its bundled libopus to introduce an `MSVC_CL` variable that is true only for real `cl.exe` (distinguished via `CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "MSVC"`). The eight `if(NOT MSVC)` SIMD guards are flipped to `if(NOT MSVC_CL)` and the global `/arch` block at line 445 becomes `if(MSVC_CL)`, so clang-cl gets the GCC-style per-file flags while real cl.exe keeps the `/arch:AVX` / `/arch:SSE2` globals.
+
+   Wired in via `[patch.crates-io] audiopus_sys = { path = "vendor/audiopus_sys" }` at the workspace root.
+
+   Upstream tracking: [xiph/opus#256](https://github.com/xiph/opus/issues/256), [xiph/opus PR #257](https://github.com/xiph/opus/pull/257) (both stale).
+
+2. **tauri-build needs `icons/icon.ico` for the Windows PE resource**. The desktop only had `icon.png`. Generated a multi-size ICO (16/24/32/48/64/128/256) from the existing placeholder via Pillow and committed it. Placeholder quality — real branded icons can replace it later.
+
+### 4. Windows `AudioCategory_Communications` capture path (task #24)
+
+`crates/wzp-client/src/audio_wasapi.rs` — direct WASAPI capture via `IMMDeviceEnumerator → IAudioClient2 → SetClientProperties` with `AudioCategory_Communications`. This tells Windows "this is a VoIP call" and Windows routes the capture stream through the driver's registered communications APO chain, which on most Win10/11 consumer hardware includes AEC, NS, and AGC.
+
+**Caveat**: quality is driver-dependent. On a machine with a good communications APO (Intel Smart Sound, Dolby, modern Realtek on Win11 24H2+, anything with Voice Clarity enabled) it's excellent. On generic class-compliant drivers with no communications APO registered, it's a no-op. For a guaranteed AEC regardless of driver, see task #26 which tracks implementing the classic Voice Capture DSP (`CLSID_CWMAudioAEC`) as a fallback.
+
+Gated behind the `windows-aec` feature in `wzp-client`. Enabled by default in the Windows target section of `desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml`.
+
+## Build pipelines
+
+### Native macOS / Linux
+
+```bash
+cd desktop
+npm install
+npm run build
+cd src-tauri
+cargo build --release --bin wzp-desktop
+```
+
+### Windows x86_64 via Docker on SepehrHomeserverdk
+
+```bash
+./scripts/build-windows-docker.sh                 # Full: pull + build + download
+./scripts/build-windows-docker.sh --no-pull       # Skip git fetch
+./scripts/build-windows-docker.sh --rust          # Force-clean Rust target
+./scripts/build-windows-docker.sh --image-build   # (Re)build the Docker image (fire-and-forget)
+```
+
+Output lands at `target/windows-exe/wzp-desktop.exe`. Both `wzp-desktop.exe` and `wzp-desktop-noAEC.exe` can coexist in that directory; the script writes `wzp-desktop.exe` so renaming the prior build to `-noAEC.exe` (or any other name) before rebuilding preserves it.
+
+### Windows x86_64 via Hetzner Cloud (alternative)
+
+```bash
+./scripts/build-windows-cloud.sh                  # Full: create VM → build → download → destroy
+./scripts/build-windows-cloud.sh --prepare        # Create VM and install deps only
+./scripts/build-windows-cloud.sh --build          # Build on existing VM
+./scripts/build-windows-cloud.sh --destroy        # Delete the VM
+WZP_KEEP_VM=1 ./scripts/build-windows-cloud.sh    # Keep VM alive after build for debug
+```
+
+Remember to destroy the VM at end of day with `--destroy`.
+
+### Linux x86_64 (relay + CLI + bench)
+
+```bash
+./scripts/build-linux-docker.sh                   # Fire-and-forget remote Docker build
+./scripts/build-linux-docker.sh --install         # Wait for completion and download
+```
+
+Uses the same `wzp-android-builder` Docker image as Android (not a separate image), since the deps (Rust + cmake + ring prereqs) are the same.
+
+## Testing
+
+### Direct calling parity
+
+1. Build on two machines (macOS + Windows, or two macOS, or any combination).
+2. Both machines register on the same relay.
+3. Copy one machine's fingerprint into the other's direct-call panel.
+4. Place the call. Confirm ringing UI on the callee and "calling…" UI on the caller.
+5. Answer. Confirm audio flows both ways.
+6. Hang up from either side. Confirm call-history entries are labeled correctly (`Outgoing` on caller, `Incoming` on callee, never `Missed` on a successful call).
+
+### Windows AEC A/B
+
+1. Install `wzp-desktop-noAEC.exe` and `wzp-desktop.exe` on the same Windows box.
+2. Join a call from each (separately) while a second machine plays known audio through the first machine's speakers.
+3. On the remote (listening) side: the `noAEC` call should have clear audible echo; the AEC call should have minimal or no echo after a 1–2 s convergence period.
+4. If both builds sound identical (with echo) → the `AudioCategory_Communications` switch isn't triggering the driver's APO chain. Investigate via task #26 (Voice Capture DSP fallback).
+
+## Known quirks
+
+1. **libopus vendor path is workspace-relative**. `[patch.crates-io] audiopus_sys = { path = "vendor/audiopus_sys" }` works from any crate in the workspace because Cargo resolves it against the root `Cargo.toml`'s directory. If the workspace is moved or vendored into another workspace, update the path.
+
+2. **`cargo xwin` overwrites `override.cmake` on every invocation**. Any attempt to patch `~/.cache/cargo-xwin/cmake/clang-cl/override.cmake` at Docker image build time is inert because `src/compiler/clang_cl.rs` line ~444 writes the bundled file fresh on every run. All real fixes must land in the source tree (via the vendored audiopus_sys, as done here), not in the cargo-xwin cache.
+
+3. **WebView2 runtime is a prerequisite on Windows 10**. Windows 11 ships with it. If the `.exe` launches and immediately exits with no error on a Win10 machine, that's the missing runtime — install it from [Microsoft's Evergreen bootstrapper](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/).
+
+4. **Rust 2024 edition `unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn` lint**. The WASAPI backend in `audio_wasapi.rs` emits ~18 of these warnings because Rust 2024 requires explicit `unsafe { ... }` blocks inside `unsafe fn` bodies. The warnings don't block the build and don't affect runtime behavior; cleaning them up is tracked informally as tech debt.

-# WarzonePhone Detailed Design Decisions
+# WarzonePhone Design Document
 
-## Why Opus + Codec2 (Not Just One)
+> Custom encrypted VoIP protocol built in Rust. Designed for hostile network conditions: 5-70% packet loss, 100-500 kbps throughput, 300-800 ms RTT. Multi-platform: Desktop (Tauri), Android, CLI, Web.
 
-The dual-codec architecture is driven by the extreme range of network conditions WarzonePhone targets:
+## System Overview
 
-**Opus** (24/16/6 kbps) is the clear choice for normal to degraded conditions. It offers excellent quality at moderate bitrates, has built-in inband FEC and DTX (discontinuous transmission), and the `audiopus` crate provides mature Rust bindings to libopus. Opus operates at 48 kHz natively.
+WarzonePhone is a voice-over-IP system built from scratch in Rust, targeting reliable encrypted voice communication over severely degraded networks. The protocol uses adaptive codecs (Opus + Codec2), fountain-code FEC (RaptorQ), and end-to-end ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption over a QUIC transport layer.
 
-**Codec2** (3200/1200 bps) is a narrowband vocoder designed specifically for HF radio links with extreme bandwidth constraints. At 1200 bps (1.2 kbps), it produces intelligible speech in only 6 bytes per 40ms frame -- roughly 20x lower bitrate than Opus at its minimum. The pure-Rust `codec2` crate means no C dependencies for this codec. Codec2 operates at 8 kHz, so the adaptive layer handles 48 kHz <-> 8 kHz resampling transparently.
+The system comprises three categories of components:
 
-The `AdaptiveEncoder`/`AdaptiveDecoder` in `crates/wzp-codec/src/adaptive.rs` hold both codec instances and switch between them based on the active `QualityProfile`. This avoids codec re-initialization latency during tier transitions.
+1. **Protocol crates** -- a Rust workspace of 7 library crates with a star dependency graph enabling parallel development
+2. **Client applications** -- Desktop (Tauri), Android (Kotlin + JNI), CLI, and Web (browser bridge)
+3. **Relay infrastructure** -- SFU relay daemons with federation, health probing, and Prometheus metrics
 
-**Bandwidth comparison with FEC overhead:**
+### Design Principles
 
-| Tier | Codec Bitrate | FEC Ratio | Total Bandwidth |
-|------|--------------|-----------|----------------|
-| GOOD | 24 kbps | 20% | ~28.8 kbps |
-| DEGRADED | 6 kbps | 50% | ~9.0 kbps |
-| CATASTROPHIC | 1.2 kbps | 100% | ~2.4 kbps |
+- **User sovereignty** -- client-driven route selection, BIP39 identity backup, no central authority
+- **End-to-end encryption** -- relays never see plaintext audio; SFU forwarding preserves E2E encryption
+- **Adaptive resilience** -- automatic codec and FEC switching based on observed network quality
+- **Parallel development** -- star dependency graph allows 5 agents/developers to work simultaneously with zero merge conflicts
 
-At the catastrophic tier, the entire call (audio + FEC + headers) fits within approximately 3 kbps, which is viable even over severely degraded links.
+## Architecture
 
-## Why RaptorQ Over Reed-Solomon
+### Crate Overview
 
-**Reed-Solomon** is a classical block erasure code. It works well but has fixed-rate overhead: you must decide in advance how many repair symbols to generate, and decoding requires receiving exactly K of any K+R symbols.
+The workspace contains 7 core crates plus integration binaries:
 
-**RaptorQ** (RFC 6330) is a fountain code with several advantages for VoIP:
+| Crate | Purpose | Key Dependencies |
+|-------|---------|-----------------|
+| `wzp-proto` | Protocol types, traits, wire format | serde, bytes |
+| `wzp-codec` | Audio codecs (Opus, Codec2, RNNoise) | audiopus, codec2, nnnoiseless |
+| `wzp-fec` | Forward error correction | raptorq |
+| `wzp-crypto` | Cryptography and identity | ed25519-dalek, x25519-dalek, chacha20poly1305, bip39 |
+| `wzp-transport` | QUIC transport layer | quinn, rustls |
+| `wzp-relay` | Relay daemon (SFU, federation, metrics) | tokio, prometheus |
+| `wzp-client` | Call engine and CLI | All above |
 
-1. **Rateless**: You can generate an arbitrary number of repair symbols on the fly. If conditions worsen mid-block, you can generate additional repair without re-encoding.
+Additional integration targets: `wzp-web` (browser bridge via WebSocket), Android native library (JNI), Desktop (Tauri).
 
-2. **Efficient decoding**: RaptorQ can decode from any K symbols with high probability (typically K + 1 or K + 2 suffice), compared to Reed-Solomon which requires exactly K.
+### Dependency Graph
 
-3. **Lower computational complexity**: O(K) encoding and decoding time, compared to O(K^2) for Reed-Solomon. This matters for real-time audio at 50 frames/second.
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+    PROTO["wzp-proto<br/>(Types, Traits, Wire Format)"]
 
-4. **Variable block sizes**: The encoder handles 1-56403 source symbols per block (the WZP implementation uses 5-10, but the flexibility is there).

+
+- **Parallel development** -- 5 agents work on 5 crates with no merge conflicts

+
+## Codec System
+
+WarzonePhone uses a dual-codec architecture to cover the full range of network conditions:
+
+### Opus (Primary)
+
+Opus is the primary codec for normal to degraded conditions. It operates at 48 kHz natively with built-in inband FEC and DTX (discontinuous transmission). The `audiopus` crate provides mature Rust bindings to libopus.
+
+| Profile | Bitrate | Frame Duration | FEC Ratio | Total Bandwidth | Use Case |
+|---------|---------|---------------|-----------|----------------|----------|
+| Studio 64k | 64 kbps | 20ms | 10% | 70.4 kbps | LAN, excellent WiFi |
+| Studio 48k | 48 kbps | 20ms | 10% | 52.8 kbps | Good WiFi, wired |
+| Studio 32k | 32 kbps | 20ms | 10% | 35.2 kbps | WiFi, LTE |
+| Good (24k) | 24 kbps | 20ms | 20% | 28.8 kbps | WiFi, LTE, decent links |
+| Opus 16k | 16 kbps | 20ms | 20% | 19.2 kbps | 3G, moderate congestion |
+| Degraded (6k) | 6 kbps | 40ms | 50% | 9.0 kbps | 3G, congested WiFi |
+
+### Codec2 (Fallback)
+
+Codec2 is a narrowband vocoder designed for HF radio links with extreme bandwidth constraints. It operates at 8 kHz, and the adaptive layer handles 48 kHz <-> 8 kHz resampling transparently. The pure-Rust `codec2` crate means no C dependencies.
+
+| Profile | Bitrate | Frame Duration | FEC Ratio | Total Bandwidth | Use Case |
+|---------|---------|---------------|-----------|----------------|----------|
+| Codec2 3200 | 3.2 kbps | 20ms | 50% | 4.8 kbps | Poor conditions |
+| Catastrophic (1200) | 1.2 kbps | 40ms | 100% | 2.4 kbps | Satellite, extreme loss |
+
+### ComfortNoise
+
+When the silence detector identifies no speech activity for over 100ms, the encoder switches to emitting a ComfortNoise packet every 200ms instead of encoding silence. This provides approximately 50% bandwidth savings in typical conversations.
+
+### Adaptive Switching
+
+The `AdaptiveEncoder`/`AdaptiveDecoder` in `wzp-codec` hold both codec instances and switch between them based on the active `QualityProfile`. This avoids codec re-initialization latency during tier transitions. The `AdaptiveQualityController` in `wzp-proto` manages tier transitions with hysteresis:
+
+- **Downgrade**: 3 consecutive bad reports (2 on cellular networks)
+- **Upgrade**: 10 consecutive good reports (one tier at a time)
+- **Network handoff**: WiFi-to-cellular switch triggers preemptive one-tier downgrade plus a temporary 10-second FEC boost (+20%)
+
+Quality tier classification thresholds:
+
+| Tier | WiFi/Unknown | Cellular |
+|------|-------------|----------|
+| Good | loss < 10%, RTT < 400ms | loss < 8%, RTT < 300ms |
+| Degraded | loss 10-40%, RTT 400-600ms | loss 8-25%, RTT 300-500ms |
+| Catastrophic | loss > 40%, RTT > 600ms | loss > 25%, RTT > 500ms |
+
+## Forward Error Correction (FEC)
+
+### Why RaptorQ Over Reed-Solomon
+
+WarzonePhone uses RaptorQ (RFC 6330) fountain codes via the `raptorq` crate:
+
+1. **Rateless** -- generate arbitrary repair symbols on the fly; if conditions worsen mid-block, generate additional repair without re-encoding
+2. **Efficient decoding** -- decode from any K symbols with high probability (typically K + 1 or K + 2 suffice)
+3. **Lower complexity** -- O(K) encoding/decoding time vs O(K^2) for Reed-Solomon
+4. **Variable block sizes** -- 1-56,403 source symbols per block (WZP uses 5-10)
+
+### FEC Block Structure
+
+Each FEC block consists of 5-10 audio frames padded to 256-byte symbols with a 2-byte LE length prefix:
+
+```
+[len:u16 LE][audio_frame][zero_padding_to_256_bytes]
+```
+
+### Loss Survival by FEC Ratio
 
 With 5 source frames per block:
-- 20% repair (GOOD): 1 repair symbol. Survives loss of 1 out of 6 packets (16.7% loss).
-- 50% repair (DEGRADED): 3 repair symbols. Survives loss of 3 out of 8 packets (37.5% loss).
-- 100% repair (CATASTROPHIC): 5 repair symbols. Survives loss of 5 out of 10 packets (50% loss).
 
-The benchmark (`wzp-bench --fec --loss 30`) dynamically scales the FEC ratio to survive the requested loss percentage.
+| FEC Ratio | Repair Symbols | Survives Loss | Profile |
+|-----------|---------------|---------------|---------|
+| 10% | 1 | 1 of 6 (16.7%) | Studio |
+| 20% | 1 | 1 of 6 (16.7%) | Good |
+| 50% | 3 | 3 of 8 (37.5%) | Degraded |
+| 100% | 5 | 5 of 10 (50.0%) | Catastrophic |
 
-## Why QUIC Over Raw UDP
+### Interleaving
 
-Raw UDP would be simpler and lower-latency, but QUIC (via the `quinn` crate) provides:
+Burst loss protection via depth-3 interleaving: packets from 3 consecutive FEC blocks are interleaved before transmission. A burst of 3 consecutive lost packets affects 3 different blocks (1 loss each) rather than destroying 1 block entirely.
 
-1. **DATAGRAM frames**: Unreliable delivery without head-of-line blocking (RFC 9221). Media packets use this path, so they behave like UDP datagrams but benefit from QUIC's connection management.
+```mermaid
+graph LR
+    subgraph "FEC Encoder"
+        F1[Frame 1] --> BLK[Source Block<br/>5-10 frames]
+        F2[Frame 2] --> BLK
+        F3[Frame 3] --> BLK
+        F4[Frame 4] --> BLK
+        F5[Frame 5] --> BLK
+        BLK --> SRC[Source Symbols]
+        BLK --> REP[Repair Symbols<br/>ratio-dependent]
+        SRC --> INT[Interleaver<br/>depth=3]
+        REP --> INT
+    end
 
-2. **Reliable streams**: Signaling messages (CallOffer, CallAnswer, Rekey, Hangup) require reliable delivery. QUIC provides multiplexed streams without needing a separate TCP connection.
+    subgraph "Network"
+        INT --> LOSS{Packet Loss}
+        LOSS -->|some lost| RCV[Received Symbols]
+    end
 
-3. **Built-in congestion control**: QUIC's congestion control prevents overwhelming degraded links, which is important when chaining relays.
+    subgraph "FEC Decoder"
+        RCV --> DEINT[De-interleaver]
+        DEINT --> RAPTORQ[RaptorQ Decode<br/>Any K of K+R]
+        RAPTORQ --> OUT[Original Frames]
+    end
 
-4. **Connection migration**: QUIC connections survive IP address changes (e.g., WiFi to cellular handoff), which is valuable for mobile clients.
-
-5. **TLS 1.3 built-in**: The QUIC handshake provides encryption at the transport level. While WZP has its own end-to-end ChaCha20 layer, the QUIC TLS protects the header and signaling from eavesdroppers.
-
-6. **NAT keepalive**: QUIC's built-in keep-alive (configured at 5-second intervals) maintains NAT bindings without application-level pings.
-
-7. **Firewall traversal**: QUIC runs on UDP port 443 by default, which is commonly allowed through firewalls. The `wzp` ALPN protocol identifier distinguishes WZP traffic.
-
-The tradeoff is approximately 20-40 bytes of additional per-packet overhead compared to raw UDP (QUIC short header + DATAGRAM frame overhead).
-
-## Why ChaCha20-Poly1305 Over AES-GCM
-
-1. **Software performance**: ChaCha20-Poly1305 is faster than AES-GCM on hardware without AES-NI instructions. This matters for ARM devices (Android phones, Raspberry Pi relays, embedded systems) where AES hardware acceleration may be absent.
-
-2. **Constant-time by design**: ChaCha20 uses only add-rotate-XOR operations, making it inherently resistant to timing side-channel attacks. AES-GCM implementations without hardware support often require careful constant-time implementation.
-
-3. **Warzone messenger compatibility**: The existing Warzone messenger uses ChaCha20-Poly1305 for message encryption. Reusing the same primitive simplifies the security audit and allows key material to be shared across messaging and calling.
-
-4. **16-byte overhead**: Both ChaCha20-Poly1305 and AES-128-GCM produce a 16-byte authentication tag. There is no size advantage to AES-GCM.
-
-5. **AEAD with AAD**: The MediaHeader is used as Associated Authenticated Data (AAD), ensuring the header is authenticated but not encrypted. This allows relays to read routing information (block ID, sequence number) without decrypting the payload.
-
-## Why Star Dependency Graph (Parallel Development)
-
-The workspace follows a strict star dependency pattern:
-
-```

 ```
 
-- `wzp-proto` defines all trait interfaces and wire format types
-- Each "leaf" crate (codec, fec, crypto, transport) depends only on `wzp-proto`
-- No leaf crate depends on another leaf crate
-- Integration crates (relay, client, web) depend on all leaves
+## Transport Layer
 
-This enables:
-1. **Parallel development**: 5 agents/developers can work on 5 crates simultaneously with zero merge conflicts
-2. **Independent testing**: Each crate has comprehensive tests that run without requiring other implementations
-3. **Pluggability**: Any implementation can be swapped (e.g., replace RaptorQ with Reed-Solomon) by implementing the same trait
-4. **Fast compilation**: Changes to one leaf only recompile that leaf and the integration crates, not other leaves
+### Why QUIC Over Raw UDP
 
-## Jitter Buffer Trade-offs
+WarzonePhone uses QUIC (via the `quinn` crate) rather than raw UDP for several reasons:
 
-The jitter buffer must balance two competing goals:
+| Feature | Benefit |
+|---------|---------|
+| DATAGRAM frames (RFC 9221) | Unreliable delivery without head-of-line blocking -- behaves like UDP for media |
+| Reliable streams | Multiplexed signaling (CallOffer, Hangup, Rekey) without a separate TCP connection |
+| Congestion control | Prevents overwhelming degraded links, important when chaining relays |
+| Connection migration | Connections survive IP address changes (WiFi to cellular handoff) |
+| TLS 1.3 built-in | Transport-level encryption protects headers and signaling |
+| NAT keepalive | 5-second interval maintains NAT bindings without application-level pings |
+| Firewall traversal | Runs on UDP port 443 with `wzp` ALPN identifier |
 
-**Lower latency** (smaller buffer):
-- Better conversational interactivity
-- Less memory usage
-- But more vulnerable to jitter and reordering
+The tradeoff is approximately 20-40 bytes of additional per-packet overhead compared to raw UDP.
 
-**Higher quality** (larger buffer):
-- More time to receive out-of-order packets
-- More time for FEC recovery (repair packets may arrive after source packets)
-- But adds perceptible delay to the conversation
+### Wire Formats
 
-The default configuration:
-- Target: 10 packets (200ms) for the client, 50 packets (1s) for the relay
-- Minimum: 3 packets (60ms) before playout begins (client), 25 packets (500ms) for relay
-- Maximum: 250 packets (5s) absolute cap
+#### MediaHeader (12 bytes)
 
-The relay uses a deeper buffer because it needs to absorb jitter from the lossy inter-relay link. The client uses a shallower buffer for lower latency since it is on the last hop.
+```
+Byte 0:  [V:1][T:1][CodecID:4][Q:1][FecRatioHi:1]
+Byte 1:  [FecRatioLo:6][unused:2]
+Bytes 2-3: sequence (u16 BE)
+Bytes 4-7: timestamp_ms (u32 BE)
+Byte 8:   fec_block_id (u8)
+Byte 9:   fec_symbol_idx (u8)
+Byte 10:  reserved
+Byte 11:  csrc_count
 
-**Known issue**: The current jitter buffer does not adapt its depth based on observed jitter. It uses sequence-number ordering only, without timestamp-based playout scheduling. This can lead to drift during long calls, as observed in echo tests.
+V = version (0), T = is_repair, CodecID = codec, Q = quality_report appended
+```
 
-## Browser Audio: AudioWorklet vs ScriptProcessorNode
+#### MiniHeader (4 bytes, compressed)
 
-The web bridge (`crates/wzp-web/static/`) uses AudioWorklet as the primary audio I/O mechanism, with ScriptProcessorNode as a fallback.
+```
+Bytes 0-1: timestamp_delta_ms (u16 BE)
+Bytes 2-3: payload_len (u16 BE)
 
-**AudioWorklet** (preferred):
-- Runs on a dedicated audio rendering thread
-- Lower latency (no main-thread round-trip)
-- Consistent 128-sample callback timing
-- Supported in Chrome 66+, Firefox 76+, Safari 14.1+
+Preceded by FRAME_TYPE_MINI (0x01). Full header every 50 frames (~1s).
+Saves 8 bytes/packet (67% header reduction).
+```
 
-**ScriptProcessorNode** (fallback):
-- Runs on the main thread via `onaudioprocess` callback
-- Higher latency, potential glitches from main-thread GC pauses
-- Deprecated by the Web Audio specification
-- Used when AudioWorklet is not available
+#### TrunkFrame (batched datagrams)
 
-Both paths accumulate Float32 samples into 960-sample (20ms) Int16 frames before sending via WebSocket, matching the WZP codec frame size.
+```
+[count:u16]
+  [session_id:2][len:u16][payload:len]  x count
 
-**Playback** uses an AudioWorklet with a ring buffer capped at 200ms (9600 samples at 48 kHz). When the buffer exceeds this limit, old samples are dropped to prevent unbounded drift. The fallback path uses scheduled `AudioBufferSourceNode` instances.
+Packs multiple session packets into one QUIC datagram.
+Max 10 entries or 1200 bytes, flushed every 5ms.
+```
 
-## Room Mode: SFU vs MCU Trade-offs
+#### QualityReport (4 bytes, optional trailer)
 
-WarzonePhone implements an **SFU** (Selective Forwarding Unit) architecture:
+```
+Byte 0: loss_pct (0-255 maps to 0-100%)
+Byte 1: rtt_4ms (0-255 maps to 0-1020ms)
+Byte 2: jitter_ms
+Byte 3: bitrate_cap_kbps
+```
 
-**SFU** (implemented):
-- Relay forwards each participant's packets to all other participants unchanged
-- No transcoding -- the relay never decodes or re-encodes audio
-- O(N) bandwidth at the relay for N participants (each packet is sent N-1 times)
-- Each client receives separate streams from each other participant
-- Client must mix/decode multiple streams locally
-- Lower relay CPU usage (no transcoding)
-- End-to-end encryption is preserved (relay never sees plaintext)
+### Bandwidth Summary
 
-**MCU** (not implemented, for comparison):
-- Relay would decode all streams, mix them, and re-encode a single combined stream
-- O(1) bandwidth to each client (receives one mixed stream)
-- Requires the relay to have codec keys (breaks E2E encryption)
-- Higher relay CPU (decoding N streams + mixing + re-encoding)
-- Audio quality loss from re-encoding
+| Profile | Audio | FEC Overhead | Total | Silence Savings |
+|---------|-------|-------------|-------|----------------|
+| Studio 64k | 64 kbps | 10% = 6.4 kbps | **70.4 kbps** | ~50% with DTX |
+| Studio 48k | 48 kbps | 10% = 4.8 kbps | **52.8 kbps** | ~50% with DTX |
+| Studio 32k | 32 kbps | 10% = 3.2 kbps | **35.2 kbps** | ~50% with DTX |
+| Good (24k) | 24 kbps | 20% = 4.8 kbps | **28.8 kbps** | ~50% with DTX |
+| Degraded (6k) | 6 kbps | 50% = 3.0 kbps | **9.0 kbps** | ~50% with DTX |
+| Catastrophic (1.2k) | 1.2 kbps | 100% = 1.2 kbps | **2.4 kbps** | ~50% with DTX |
 
-The SFU choice is driven by the E2E encryption requirement: since relays never have access to the audio codec keys, they cannot decode, mix, or re-encode. The current room implementation in `crates/wzp-relay/src/room.rs` forwards received datagrams to all other participants in the room with best-effort delivery -- if one send fails, the relay continues to the next participant.
+Additional savings: MiniHeaders save 8 bytes/packet (67% header reduction). Trunking shares QUIC overhead across multiplexed sessions.
+
+## Security

+
+**BIP39 Mnemonic Backup**: The 32-byte seed can be encoded as a 24-word BIP39 mnemonic for human-readable backup. The same seed produces the same identity on any platform.

+### Encryption Details
+
+| Component | Algorithm | Purpose |
+|-----------|-----------|---------|
+| Identity signing | Ed25519 | Authenticate handshake messages |
+| Key agreement | X25519 (ephemeral) | Derive shared secret |
+| Key derivation | HKDF-SHA256 | Derive session key from shared secret |
+| Media encryption | ChaCha20-Poly1305 | Encrypt audio payloads (16-byte tag) |
+| Nonce construction | Deterministic from sequence number | No nonce reuse, no state sync needed |
+| Anti-replay | Sliding window (64-packet) | Reject duplicate/old packets |
+| Forward secrecy | Rekey every 65,536 packets | New ephemeral DH + HKDF mix |
+
+**Why ChaCha20-Poly1305 over AES-GCM**:
+- Faster on hardware without AES-NI (ARM phones, Raspberry Pi relays)
+- Inherently constant-time (add-rotate-XOR only)
+- Compatible with Warzone messenger (featherChat)
+- Same 16-byte authentication tag overhead as AES-GCM
+
+**AEAD with AAD**: The MediaHeader is used as Associated Authenticated Data. The header is authenticated but not encrypted, allowing relays to read routing information (block ID, sequence number) without decrypting the payload.
+
+### Trust on First Use (TOFU)
+
+Clients remember the relay's TLS certificate fingerprint after first connection. If the fingerprint changes on a subsequent connection, the desktop client shows a "Server Key Changed" warning dialog. The relay derives its TLS certificate deterministically from its persisted identity seed, so the fingerprint is stable across restarts.
+
+## Relay Architecture
+
+### Room Mode (Default SFU)
+
+In room mode, the relay acts as a Selective Forwarding Unit. Clients join named rooms via the QUIC SNI (Server Name Indication) field. The relay forwards each participant's encrypted packets to all other participants in the room without decoding or re-encoding.

+```
+
+**SFU vs MCU trade-off**: SFU was chosen because it preserves end-to-end encryption (the relay never sees plaintext audio). An MCU would need to decode, mix, and re-encode, breaking E2E encryption. The trade-off is O(N) bandwidth at the relay for N participants.
+
+### Forward Mode
+
+With `--remote`, the relay forwards all traffic to a remote relay. Used for chaining relays across lossy or censored links:
+
+```
+Client --> Relay A (--remote B) --> Relay B --> Destination Client
+```
+
+The relay pipeline in forward mode: FEC decode, jitter buffer, then FEC re-encode for the next hop.
+
+## Federation
+
+### Overview
+
+Two or more relays form a federation mesh. Each relay is an independent SFU. When configured to trust each other, they bridge **global rooms** -- participants on relay A in a global room hear participants on relay B in the same room.
+
+### Configuration
+
+Federation uses three TOML configuration sections:
+
+- `[[peers]]` -- outbound connections to peer relays (url + TLS fingerprint)
+- `[[trusted]]` -- inbound connections accepted from relays (TLS fingerprint only)
+- `[[global_rooms]]` -- room names to bridge across all federated peers
+
+### Federation Topology

+
+### Protocol
+
+1. On startup, each relay connects to all configured `[[peers]]` via QUIC with SNI `"_federation"`
+2. After QUIC handshake, sends `FederationHello { tls_fingerprint }` for identity verification
+3. Peer verifies the fingerprint against its `[[trusted]]` or `[[peers]]` list
+4. When a local participant joins a global room, sends `GlobalRoomActive { room }` to all peers
+5. When the last local participant leaves, sends `GlobalRoomInactive { room }`
+6. Media is forwarded as `[room_hash:8][original_media_packet]` -- the relay does not decrypt
+
+### What Relays Do NOT Do
+
+- **No transcoding** -- media passes through as-is
+- **No re-encryption** -- packets are already encrypted E2E
+- **No central coordinator** -- each relay independently connects to configured peers
+- **No automatic peer discovery** -- peers must be explicitly configured
+
+### Failure Handling
+
+- If a peer goes down, local rooms continue working; federated participants disappear from presence
+- Reconnection: every 30 seconds with exponential backoff up to 5 minutes
+- If a peer restarts with a different identity, the fingerprint check fails with a clear log message
+
+## Jitter Buffer
+
+The jitter buffer balances latency vs quality:
+
+| Setting | Client | Relay |
+|---------|--------|-------|
+| Target depth | 10 packets (200ms) | 50 packets (1s) |
+| Minimum before playout | 3 packets (60ms) | 25 packets (500ms) |
+| Maximum cap | 250 packets (5s) | 250 packets (5s) |
+
+The relay uses a deeper buffer to absorb jitter from lossy inter-relay links. The client uses a shallower buffer for lower latency.
+
+The adaptive playout delay tracks jitter via exponential moving average and adjusts the target depth:
+
+```
+target_delay = ceil(jitter_ema / 20ms) + 2
+```
+
+**Known limitation**: The current jitter buffer does not use timestamp-based playout scheduling. It relies on sequence-number ordering only, which can lead to drift during long calls.
+
+## Signal Messages
+
+Signal messages are sent over reliable QUIC streams as length-prefixed JSON:
+
+```
+[4-byte length prefix][serde_json payload]

+# PRD: Adaptive Quality Control (Auto Codec)
+
+## Problem
+
+When a user selects "Auto" quality, the system currently just starts at Opus 24k (GOOD) and never changes. There is no runtime adaptation — if the network degrades mid-call, audio breaks up instead of gracefully stepping down to a lower bitrate codec. Conversely, if the network is excellent, the user stays on 24k when they could have studio-quality 64k.
+
+The relay already sends `QualityReport` messages with loss % and RTT, and a `QualityAdapter` exists in `call.rs` that classifies network conditions into GOOD/DEGRADED/CATASTROPHIC — but none of this is wired into the Android or desktop engines.
+
+## Solution
+
+Wire the existing `QualityAdapter` into both engines so that "Auto" mode continuously monitors network quality and switches codecs mid-call. The full quality range should be used:
+
+```
+Excellent network  →  Studio 64k (best quality)
+Good network       →  Opus 24k (default)
+Degraded network   →  Opus 6k (lower bitrate, more FEC)
+Poor network       →  Codec2 3.2k (vocoder, heavy FEC)
+Catastrophic       →  Codec2 1.2k (minimum viable voice)
+```
+

+
+## Existing Infrastructure
+
+### What already exists (in `crates/wzp-client/src/call.rs`)
+
+1. **`QualityAdapter`** (lines 97-196):
+   - Sliding window of `QualityReport` messages
+   - `classify()`: loss > 15% or RTT > 200ms → CATASTROPHIC, loss > 5% or RTT > 100ms → DEGRADED, else → GOOD
+   - `should_switch()`: hysteresis — requires 3 consecutive reports recommending the same profile before switching
+   - Prevents oscillation between profiles
+
+2. **`QualityReport`** (in `wzp-proto/src/packet.rs`):
+   - Sent by relay piggy-backed on media packets
+   - Fields: `loss_pct` (u8, 0-255 scaled), `rtt_4ms` (u8, RTT in 4ms units), `jitter_ms`, `bitrate_cap_kbps`
+
+3. **`CallEncoder::set_profile()`** / **`CallDecoder` auto-switch**:
+   - Encoder can switch codec mid-stream
+   - Decoder already auto-detects incoming codec from packet headers
+
+### What's missing
+
+1. **QualityReport ingestion** — neither Android engine nor desktop engine reads quality reports from the relay
+2. **Profile switch loop** — no periodic check that feeds reports to `QualityAdapter` and applies recommended switches
+3. **Upward adaptation** — `QualityAdapter` only classifies into 3 tiers (GOOD/DEGRADED/CATASTROPHIC). Needs extension to recommend studio tiers when conditions are excellent (loss < 1%, RTT < 50ms)
+4. **Notification to UI** — when quality changes, the UI should show the current active codec
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Phase 1: Basic Adaptive (3-tier)
+
+**Both Android and Desktop:**
+
+1. **Ingest QualityReports**: In the recv loop, extract `quality_report` from incoming `MediaPacket`s when present. Feed to `QualityAdapter`.
+
+2. **Periodic quality check**: Every 1 second (or on each QualityReport), call `adapter.should_switch(&current_profile)`. If it returns `Some(new_profile)`:
+   - Switch the encoder: `encoder.set_profile(new_profile)`
+   - Update FEC encoder: `fec_enc = create_encoder(&new_profile)`
+   - Update frame size if changed (e.g., 20ms → 40ms)
+   - Log the switch
+
+3. **Frame size adaptation on switch**: When switching from 20ms to 40ms frames (or vice versa):
+   - Android: update `frame_samples` variable, resize `capture_buf`
+   - Desktop: same — the send loop reads `frame_samples` dynamically
+
+4. **UI indicator**: Show current active codec in the call screen stats line.
+   - Android: add to `CallStats` and display in stats text
+   - Desktop: add to `get_status` response and display in stats div
+
+5. **Only in Auto mode**: Adaptive switching should only happen when the user selected "Auto". If they manually selected a profile, respect their choice.
+
+### Phase 2: Extended Range (5-tier)
+
+Extend `QualityAdapter::classify()` to use the full codec range:
+
+| Condition | Profile | Codec |
+|-----------|---------|-------|
+| loss < 1% AND RTT < 30ms | STUDIO_64K | Opus 64k |
+| loss < 1% AND RTT < 50ms | STUDIO_48K | Opus 48k |
+| loss < 2% AND RTT < 80ms | STUDIO_32K | Opus 32k |
+| loss < 5% AND RTT < 100ms | GOOD | Opus 24k |
+| loss < 15% AND RTT < 200ms | DEGRADED | Opus 6k |
+| loss >= 15% OR RTT >= 200ms | CATASTROPHIC | Codec2 1.2k |
+
+With hysteresis:
+- **Downgrade**: 3 consecutive reports (fast reaction to degradation)
+- **Upgrade**: 5 consecutive reports (slow, cautious improvement)
+- **Studio upgrade**: 10 consecutive reports (very conservative — avoid bouncing to 64k on brief good patches)
+
+### Phase 3: Bandwidth Probing
+
+Rather than relying solely on loss/RTT:
+1. Start at GOOD
+2. After 10 seconds of stable call, probe upward by switching to STUDIO_32K
+3. If no quality degradation after 5 seconds, probe to STUDIO_48K
+4. If degradation detected, immediately fall back
+5. This discovers the true available bandwidth rather than guessing from loss stats
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Android (`crates/wzp-android/src/engine.rs`)
+
+```rust
+// In the recv loop, after decoding:
+if let Some(ref qr) = pkt.quality_report {
+    quality_adapter.ingest(qr);
+}
+
+// Periodic check (every 50 frames ≈ 1 second):
+if auto_profile && frames_decoded % 50 == 0 {
+    if let Some(new_profile) = quality_adapter.should_switch(&current_profile) {
+        info!(from = ?current_profile.codec, to = ?new_profile.codec, "auto: switching quality");
+        let _ = encoder_ref.lock().set_profile(new_profile);
+        fec_enc_ref.lock() = create_encoder(&new_profile);
+        current_profile = new_profile;
+        frame_samples = frame_samples_for(&new_profile);
+        // Resize capture buffer if needed
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Challenge**: The encoder is in the send task and the quality reports arrive in the recv task. Need shared state (AtomicU8 for profile index, or a channel).
+
+**Recommended approach**: Use an `AtomicU8` that the recv task writes and the send task reads:
+```rust
+let pending_profile = Arc::new(AtomicU8::new(0xFF)); // 0xFF = no change
+
+// Recv task: when adapter recommends switch
+pending_profile.store(new_profile_index, Ordering::Release);
+
+// Send task: check at frame boundary
+let p = pending_profile.swap(0xFF, Ordering::Acquire);
+if p != 0xFF { /* apply switch */ }
+```
+
+### Desktop (`desktop/src-tauri/src/engine.rs`)
+
+Same pattern. The desktop engine already has separate send/recv tasks with shared atomics for mic_muted, etc. Add a `pending_profile: Arc<AtomicU8>` following the same pattern.
+
+### Desktop CLI (`crates/wzp-client/src/call.rs`)
+
+The `CallEncoder` already has `set_profile()`. The `CallDecoder` already auto-switches. Just need to:
+1. Add `QualityAdapter` to `CallDecoder`
+2. Feed quality reports in `ingest()`
+3. Check `should_switch()` in `decode_next()`
+4. Emit the recommendation via a callback or return value
+
+## Testing
+
+1. **Local test with tc/netem**: Use Linux traffic control to simulate loss/latency:
+   ```bash
+   # Simulate 10% loss, 150ms RTT
+   tc qdisc add dev lo root netem loss 10% delay 75ms
+   # Run 2 clients in auto mode, verify they switch to DEGRADED
+   ```
+
+2. **CLI test**: Run `wzp-client --profile auto` between two instances with simulated network conditions
+
+3. **Relay quality reports**: Verify the relay actually sends QualityReport messages. If it doesn't yet, that needs to be implemented first (check relay code).
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **Does the relay currently send QualityReports?** If not, Phase 1 is blocked until the relay implements per-client loss/RTT tracking and report generation. The relay sees all packets and can compute loss % per sender.
+
+2. **Codec2 3.2k placement**: Should auto mode use Codec2 3.2k between DEGRADED and CATASTROPHIC? It's 20ms frames (lower latency than Opus 6k's 40ms) but speech-only quality.
+
+3. **Cross-client adaptation**: If client A is on GOOD and client B auto-adapts to CATASTROPHIC, client A still sends Opus 24k. Client B can decode it fine (auto-switch on recv). But should A also be told to lower quality to save B's bandwidth? This requires signaling between clients.
+
+## Milestones

+# PRD: Coordinated Codec Switching (Relay-Judged Quality)
+
+## Problem
+
+The current adaptive quality system (`QualityAdapter` in call.rs) exists but isn't wired into either engine. Clients encode at a fixed quality chosen at call start. When network conditions change mid-call, audio degrades instead of gracefully stepping down. When conditions improve, clients stay on low quality unnecessarily.
+
+Additionally, in SFU mode with multiple participants, uncoordinated codec switching creates asymmetry: if client A upgrades to 64k while B stays on 24k, bandwidth is wasted. Participants should switch together.
+
+## Solution
+
+The **relay acts as the quality judge** since it sees both sides of every connection. It monitors packet loss, jitter, and RTT per participant, then signals quality recommendations. Clients react to these signals with coordinated codec switches.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+┌─────────┐        ┌─────────┐        ┌─────────┐
+│ Client A │◄──────►│  Relay  │◄──────►│ Client B │

+                    - UpgradeProposal (try higher quality?)
+                    - UpgradeConfirm (all agreed, switch at T)
+```
+
+## Quality Classification (Relay-Side)
+
+The relay monitors each participant's connection quality:
+
+| Condition | Classification | Action |
+|-----------|---------------|--------|
+| loss >= 15% OR RTT >= 200ms | Critical | Immediate downgrade signal |
+| loss >= 5% OR RTT >= 100ms | Degraded | Downgrade signal after 3 reports |
+| loss < 2% AND RTT < 80ms | Good | Stable signal |
+| loss < 1% AND RTT < 50ms for 30s | Excellent | Upgrade proposal |
+| loss < 0.5% AND RTT < 30ms for 60s | Studio | Studio upgrade proposal |
+
+## Coordinated Switching Protocol
+
+### Downgrade (fast, safety-first)
+
+1. Relay detects degradation for ANY participant
+2. Relay sends `QualityUpdate { recommended_profile: DEGRADED }` to ALL participants
+3. ALL participants immediately switch encoder to the recommended profile
+4. No negotiation — downgrade is mandatory and instant
+
+### Upgrade (slow, consensual)
+
+1. Relay detects sustained good conditions for ALL participants (threshold: 30s stable)
+2. Relay sends `UpgradeProposal { target_profile, switch_timestamp }` to all
+3. Each client responds: `UpgradeAccept` or `UpgradeReject`
+4. If ALL accept within 5s → Relay sends `UpgradeConfirm { profile, switch_at_ms }`
+5. All clients switch encoder at the agreed timestamp (relative to session clock)
+6. If ANY rejects or times out → upgrade cancelled, stay on current profile
+
+### Asymmetric Encoding (SFU optimization)
+
+In SFU mode, each client encodes independently. The relay could allow:
+- Client A (strong connection): encode at 64k
+- Client B (weak connection): encode at 6k
+- Relay forwards A's 64k to B's decoder (auto-switch handles it)
+- B benefits from A's quality without needing to send at 64k
+
+This requires NO protocol changes — just each client independently following the relay's recommendation for their own encoding quality. The decoder already handles any codec.
+
+### Split Network Consideration
+
+If participant A has great quality but participant C has terrible quality:
+- Option 1: **Match weakest link** — everyone encodes at C's level (current approach, simple)
+- Option 2: **Per-participant recommendations** — A encodes at 64k, C encodes at 6k. B (good connection) receives and decodes both. Works because decoders auto-switch per packet.
+- Option 3: **Relay transcoding** — relay re-encodes A's 64k as 6k for C. Adds CPU on relay, but saves bandwidth for C. Future feature.
+
+Recommended: start with Option 1 (match weakest), add Option 2 later.
+
+## Signal Messages (New/Modified)
+
+```rust
+/// Quality signal from relay to client
+QualityDirective {
+    /// Recommended profile to use for encoding
+    recommended_profile: QualityProfile,
+    /// Reason for the recommendation
+    reason: QualityReason,
+}
+
+enum QualityReason {
+    /// Network conditions require this quality level
+    NetworkCondition,
+    /// Coordinated upgrade — all participants agreed
+    CoordinatedUpgrade,
+    /// Coordinated downgrade — weakest link determines level
+    CoordinatedDowngrade,
+}
+
+/// Upgrade proposal from relay
+UpgradeProposal {
+    target_profile: QualityProfile,
+    /// Milliseconds from now when the switch would happen
+    switch_delay_ms: u32,
+}
+
+/// Client response to upgrade proposal
+UpgradeResponse {
+    accepted: bool,
+}
+
+/// Confirmed upgrade — all clients switch at this time
+UpgradeConfirm {
+    profile: QualityProfile,
+    /// Session-relative timestamp to switch (ms since call start)
+    switch_at_session_ms: u64,
+}
+```
+
+## Relay-Side Implementation
+
+### Per-Participant Quality Tracking
+
+```rust
+struct ParticipantQuality {
+    /// Sliding window of recent observations
+    loss_samples: VecDeque<f32>,    // last 30 seconds
+    rtt_samples: VecDeque<u32>,     // last 30 seconds
+    jitter_samples: VecDeque<u32>,
+    /// Current classification
+    classification: QualityClass,
+    /// How long current classification has been stable
+    stable_since: Instant,
+}
+```
+
+### Quality Monitor Task (on relay)
+
+Runs alongside the SFU forwarding loop:
+1. Every 1 second, compute per-participant quality from QUIC connection stats
+2. Classify each participant
+3. If ANY participant degrades → send downgrade to ALL
+4. If ALL participants stable for threshold → propose upgrade
+5. Track upgrade negotiation state
+
+### Integration with Existing Code
+
+The relay already has access to:
+- `QuinnTransport::path_quality()` → loss, RTT, jitter, bandwidth estimates
+- `QualityReport` embedded in media packet headers
+- Per-session metrics in `RelayMetrics`
+
+The quality monitor just needs to read these existing metrics and produce signals.
+
+## Client-Side Implementation
+
+### Handling Quality Signals
+
+In the recv loop (both Android engine and desktop engine):
+```rust
+SignalMessage::QualityDirective { recommended_profile, .. } => {
+    // Immediate: switch encoder to recommended profile
+    encoder.set_profile(recommended_profile)?;
+    fec_enc = create_encoder(&recommended_profile);
+    frame_samples = frame_samples_for(&recommended_profile);
+    info!(codec = ?recommended_profile.codec, "quality directive: switched");
+}
+```
+
+### P2P Quality (simpler case)
+
+For P2P calls (no relay), both clients directly observe quality:
+1. Each client runs its own `QualityAdapter` on the direct connection
+2. When quality changes, client proposes to peer via signal
+3. Simpler negotiation: only 2 parties, no relay middleman
+4. Same coordinated switching logic, just peer-to-peer signals
+
+## Backporting P2P → Relay
+
+The quality monitoring and codec switching logic is identical:
+- **P2P**: client observes quality directly → proposes switch to peer
+- **Relay**: relay observes quality → proposes switch to all clients
+
+The only difference is WHO makes the decision (client vs relay) and HOW many participants need to agree (2 vs N).

+# PRD: Delegated Trust for Relay Federation
+
+## Problem
+
+In the current federation model, when Relay 1 trusts Relay 2, and Relay 2 forwards media from Relay 3, Relay 1 has no way to know or control that Relay 3's traffic is reaching it. This is a trust gap — any relay in the chain can introduce untrusted traffic.
+
+**Example:** Relay 1 (trusted zone) ←→ Relay 2 (hub) ←→ Relay 3 (unknown)
+
+Relay 1 explicitly trusts Relay 2. But Relay 2 forwards Relay 3's media to Relay 1 without Relay 1's consent. Relay 1 receives media that originated from an entity it never approved.
+
+## Solution
+
+Add a `delegate` flag to `[[trusted]]` entries. When `delegate = true`, the relay accepts media forwarded through the trusted peer from relays that the trusted peer vouches for. When `delegate = false` (default), only media originating from explicitly trusted/peered relays is accepted.
+
+## Trust Levels
+
+| Config | Meaning |
+|--------|---------|
+| `[[peers]]` | "I connect to you and trust your identity" |
+| `[[trusted]]` | "I accept connections from you" |
+| `[[trusted]] delegate = true` | "I accept connections from you AND from relays you vouch for" |
+| No entry | "I reject your connections and drop your forwarded media" |
+
+## Configuration
+
+```toml
+# Relay 1: trusts Relay 2 and delegates trust
+[[trusted]]
+fingerprint = "relay-2-tls-fingerprint"
+label = "Relay 2 (Hub)"
+delegate = true    # Accept relays that Relay 2 forwards from
+
+# Without delegate (default = false):
+[[trusted]]
+fingerprint = "relay-4-tls-fingerprint"
+label = "Relay 4"
+# delegate = false  (implicit default)
+# Only direct media from Relay 4 is accepted
+```
+
+## Protocol Changes
+
+### Relay-to-Relay Media Authorization
+
+When Relay 2 forwards media from Relay 3 to Relay 1, the datagram needs to carry origin information so Relay 1 can decide whether to accept it.
+
+**Option A: Origin tag in datagram** (recommended)
+
+Extend the federation datagram format:
+```
+[room_hash: 8 bytes][origin_relay_fp: 8 bytes][media_packet]
+```
+
+The 8-byte origin fingerprint identifies which relay originally produced the media. The forwarding relay (Relay 2) sets this to the source relay's fingerprint. Relay 1 checks:
+1. Is the origin relay directly trusted? → accept
+2. Is the forwarding relay trusted with `delegate = true`? → accept
+3. Otherwise → drop
+
+**Option B: Trust announcement signal**
+
+When Relay 2 connects to Relay 1, it sends a `FederationTrustChain` signal listing which relays it will forward from:
+```rust
+FederationTrustChain {
+    /// Fingerprints of relays this peer may forward media from
+    vouched_relays: Vec<String>,
+}
+```
+
+Relay 1 checks each fingerprint against its policy:
+- If Relay 2 has `delegate = true` in Relay 1's config → accept all listed relays
+- If Relay 2 has `delegate = false` → reject, only accept direct media from Relay 2
+
+Option B is simpler to implement (no datagram format change) but less granular.
+
+### Recommended: Option B for v1, Option A for v2
+
+Option B is simpler — the trust chain is established at connection time, not per-datagram. The forwarding relay announces what it will forward, and the receiving relay approves or rejects upfront.
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Config Changes
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Clone, Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
+pub struct TrustedConfig {
+    pub fingerprint: String,
+    #[serde(default)]
+    pub label: Option<String>,
+    /// When true, also accept media forwarded through this relay from
+    /// relays it vouches for. Default: false.
+    #[serde(default)]
+    pub delegate: bool,
+}
+```
+
+### Federation Signal
+
+```rust
+/// Sent after FederationHello — lists relays this peer will forward from.
+FederationTrustChain {
+    /// TLS fingerprints of relays whose media may be forwarded through us.
+    vouched_relays: Vec<String>,
+}
+```
+
+### Forwarding Authorization
+
+In `handle_datagram`, before forwarding media to local participants:
+
+```rust
+// Check if we should accept this forwarded media
+let is_authorized = if source_is_direct_peer {
+    true  // Direct peer, always accepted
+} else {
+    // Check if the forwarding peer has delegate=true
+    let forwarding_peer = fm.find_trusted_by_fingerprint(forwarding_peer_fp);
+    forwarding_peer.map(|t| t.delegate).unwrap_or(false)
+};
+
+if !is_authorized {
+    warn!("dropping forwarded media from unauthorized relay chain");
+    return;
+}
+```
+
+### Relay 2 (Hub) Behavior
+
+When Relay 2 receives `FederationTrustChain` queries from peers:
+1. Collect all directly connected peer fingerprints
+2. Send `FederationTrustChain { vouched_relays }` to each peer
+3. When a new relay connects, update all peers' trust chains
+
+### Anti-Spam Properties
+
+| Attack | Mitigation |
+|--------|-----------|
+| Unknown relay connects to hub | Hub rejects (not in `[[trusted]]`) |
+| Hub forwards spam relay's media | Receiving relay checks delegate flag, drops if false |
+| Relay spoofs origin fingerprint | Origin tag is set by the forwarding relay, not the source. The forwarding relay is trusted, so if it lies about origin, the trust is misplaced at the config level. |
+| Chain amplification (A→B→C→D→...) | TTL on forwarded datagrams (decrement at each hop, drop at 0). Default TTL=2 (one intermediate relay). |
+
+## TTL for Chain Length
+
+Add a TTL byte to the federation datagram to limit chain depth:
+
+```
+[room_hash: 8 bytes][ttl: 1 byte][media_packet]
+```
+
+- Default TTL = 2 (allows one intermediate relay: A→B→C)
+- Each forwarding relay decrements TTL
+- When TTL = 0, don't forward further (only deliver to local participants)
+- Configurable per-relay: `max_federation_hops = 2`
+
+## Milestones
+
+| Phase | Scope | Effort |
+|-------|-------|--------|
+| 1 | Add `delegate` field to `TrustedConfig` | 0.5 day |
+| 2 | `FederationTrustChain` signal + announcement | 1 day |
+| 3 | Authorization check in `handle_datagram` | 0.5 day |
+| 4 | TTL in federation datagrams | 0.5 day |
+| 5 | Testing: authorized vs unauthorized forwarding | 0.5 day |
+
+## Non-Goals (v1)
+
+- Per-room trust policies (trust Relay X only for room "android")
+- Dynamic trust negotiation (relays negotiate trust level at runtime)
+- Revocation (removing a relay from trust chain requires config edit + restart)
+- Cryptographic proof of origin (signed datagrams from source relay)
