Device streams continuous 20ms Opus frames with no turn markers. The loop now decodes Opus, feeds the VAD, fires one turn on end-of-speech, and replies with the firmware JSON contract (tts.state / stt.text) + Opus audio. - app/audio/opus.py: RealOpus/Opus16kEncoder/PassthroughOpus; fix add_dll_directory to use absolute paths (WinError 87) - app/xiaozhi/websocket.py: DeviceLoop.run() = decode -> VAD -> run_turn -> reply - app/config.py: AudioConfig (opus kind + VAD thresholds) - config.yaml: audio.opus=real, VAD 5/8/3000 frames - tests/test_app.py: utterance = loud burst + silence; asserts stt + audio + tts stop - requirements.txt: opuslib>=3 21/21 tests; live handshake verified via zhi.moreminimore.com on venv python.
hermes-xiaozhi-bridge
Glue layer that turns a Xiaozhi ESP32 into a Thai voice companion backed by local Hermes + Qwen 3.8 (V100) and local Thai STT/TTS (RTX 5060 Ti).
The bridge does not reimplement the LLM, STT, TTS, or audio protocol — it adapts the Xiaozhi WebSocket protocol to services inside the machine.
Owner intent & plan:
hermes-xiaozhi-voice-companion-plan.md(attached copy). Operational status:plan.md. Requirements:project.md.
What exists (Phase 1 — testable skeleton)

All backends default to mock in config.yaml, so the bridge runs and tests
pass on any machine — no GPU, no device, no native libs.
Run
cd hermes-xiaozhi-bridge
python3 -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
.venv/bin/python -m app.main
# (loads config.yaml from the repo root; override with BRIDGE_CONFIG=/path)
# equivalent: .venv/bin/uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8766

Voice profile (REQ-004)
The bridge asserts at startup: reasoning = none, tools = session_search
only, no filesystem/shell/code-exec. Bad config fails boot, not conversation.
Not yet
- Real STT/TTS/Opus backends (lazy, need voice-server GPU)
- Firmware-verified protocol constants (marked
# FIRMWARE) - Cloudflare tunnel config (external to the bridge)
- MCP device bridge (Phase 10, after voice MVP)
