The production lane is the `.NET` cloud in `src/Jibo.Cloud/dotnet`. The Node server remains the protocol oracle, capture harness, and fast reverse-engineering lab, but it is no longer the long-term hosted architecture.
Day-to-day feature sequencing lives in [feature-backlog.md](feature-backlog.md). Live closeout checks live in [regression-test-plan.md](regression-test-plan.md). This file tracks release shape, current code truth, evidence sources, and the boundary between `1.0.18` closeout work and `1.0.19` follow-up work.
Release `1.0.18` is now in feature-hardening. Its main bug-fix theme is alarm and photo/gallery behavior on stock OS `1.9`, with a few small feature slices added while the test loop is warm.
- Basic news remained live-proven from `jibo test 23`; `jibo test 24` focused on alarm and photo/gallery regression.
- Alarm replacement yes/no improved: `Yes.` on `clock/alarm_timer_change` was recognized locally. The persistent `7:00 PM` alarm from the previous session still caused repeated replacement prompts until menu cleanup.
- Alarm still struggled around value-entry cleanup. Empty ASR under `clock/alarm_set_value` fell into generic Nimbus speech (`I heard you.`), and `CLIENT_NLU intent=cancel` under `clock/alarm_set_value` mapped back to alarm clarification instead of closing the clock value prompt. Current source now treats clock value empty turns as local no-input and maps value-prompt cancel to local clock `cancel`.
- Photo/gallery cleanup improved: the blue-ring/listening state appeared to settle, create keeper yes/no could complete, and robot logs showed photo adoption/upload plus `it's a keeper`.
- Photo/gallery still has spotty speech recognition. Empty ASR under `gallery/gallery_preview` caused the other observed `I heard you.` after gallery opened. Current source now treats gallery preview empty turns as local no-input instead of relaunching Nimbus fallback speech.
- No `ffmpeg` / `whisper.cpp` error was evident in the `jibo test 24` websocket timeline. Remaining alarm/gallery failures are now mostly local no-input handling and STT/recognition quality, not decode failures.
For `1.0.18`, the remaining release work should stay small: finish one or two feature slices, run the live regression pass, and only patch bugs found in that pass before calling the version complete. `1.0.19` should then reopen the broader feature queue.
-`cloud version` speech and `/health` version reporting share `OpenJiboCloudBuildInfo.Version`
- apostrophes are no longer escaped to `'` in spoken ESML, while `&`, `<`, `>`, and `"` remain escaped
- radio voice launch supports `open the radio` and genre launch such as `play country music`, using local `@be/radio``menu` payloads, `SKILL_REDIRECT`, and silent completion
- news has a first Nimbus-shaped cloud path using `match.cloudSkill = news` and a `news``SKILL_ACTION` with synthetic briefing content
- stop commands such as `stop that` and `never mind` emit stock `global_commands``stop` NLU plus a local `@be/idle` redirect, without generic chat speech
- volume commands emit stock `global_commands` volume intents: `volumeUp`, `volumeDown`, and `volumeToValue` with `volumeLevel`; `show volume controls` redirects to `@be/settings``volumeQuery`
- short clock value follow-up transcripts are accepted under `clock/alarm_set_value` and `clock/timer_set_value` instead of being dropped before parsing
- photo flows route `open photo gallery` to `@be/gallery`, `snap a picture` to `@be/create/createOnePhoto`, and `open photobooth` to `@be/create/createSomePhotos`
- passive gallery/create context does not reopen a stale cloud turn
- media metadata persists across store recreation and `/media/{path}` can serve the current text-body placeholder payload
- no-input fallback for constrained yes/no prompts emits local `LISTEN`/`EOS` instead of relaunching generic Nimbus speech, including `shared/yes_no` after STT failure
- repeated empty `create/is_it_a_keeper` replies redirect to `@be/idle` after the second miss so the photo/create flow can settle instead of leaving a stale listening state
- local whisper skips buffered audio turns that do not contain `OpusHead`, preventing a known `ffmpeg` failure path from becoming the noisy failure mode
- Word of the Day launch, spoken guesses, structured `CLIENT_NLU` guesses, hint-order guesses, fuzzy hint matching, right-word cleanup, and late audio cleanup are covered in the websocket layer
The Pegasus tree is especially useful for cloud service intent: `packages/hub` documents `/v1/listen`, `/nlu`, and `/asr`; `packages/lasso` documents credential and provider aggregation; `packages/history` and the architecture materials are useful for future memory and proactivity work.
The JiboOS trees are especially useful for local skill ownership and payload shape: `@be/clock`, `@be/gallery`, `@be/create`, `@be/radio`, `@be/nimbus`, `@be/settings`, `@be/surprises*`, `@be/restore`, `@be/who-am-i`, and `@be/idle`.
The original test suites are useful as behavior contracts before more live-device trial and error:
-`..\jibo\sdk\skills\clock\tests\AlarmTimer` documents alarm/timer state expectations. Cancel at the alarm value prompt exits without scheduling; no-alarm query `yes` redirects to the value prompt while `no` exits without touching KB/scheduler; existing-alarm `keep` preserves KB/scheduler while `delete`, `change`, and `cancel` clear it; cross-domain cancel uses the `OtherSet` yes/no branch before deleting the other clock domain.
-`..\jibo\sdk\skills\gallery\tests` documents gallery ownership. Empty gallery `yes` redirects to `@be/create`, empty gallery `no` exits, media-load failure exits, gallery/item views lifecycle out around two minutes, and delete confirmation only deletes on a positive `yes`.
-`..\jibo\sdk\skills\surprises-ota\tests\OTASurprise.test.js` shows OTA/backup surprise priority is robot-local and rate-limited by status plus last-notification timestamps. Backup-in-progress sluggishness should be investigated as local scheduler/status behavior before assuming a cloud backup API issue.
-`..\jibo\sdk\skills\nimbus\tests` and `..\jibo\pegasus\packages\integration-tests-int\src\listen*.test.ts` show the cloud/Nimbus contract: listen transactions emit `SOS`, `EOS`, and `LISTEN`, with optional `SKILL_ACTION`; matched responses preserve `match.skillID` or `match.cloudSkill`; `CLIENT_ASR` and `CLIENT_NLU` should both be first-class test inputs.
-`..\jibo\pegasus\packages\report-skill\tests\subskills\News.test.js` is the best source-backed guide for news expansion: use category preferences, filter unusable or duplicate items, gate adult headlines for children or unidentified speakers, and provide image metadata alongside spoken headlines.
When sources disagree, prefer the newest live stock-OS capture for runtime behavior, then stock robot source for local ownership, then Pegasus for original cloud intent, then Node for known working compatibility behavior.
- Regression test alarm flows again after the `jibo test 24` fixes: set with explicit time, set with compact/spoken/comma-separated time, clarify missing time, replace an existing alarm, cancel/delete by voice, cancel out of a value prompt, and verify the menu agrees.
- Regression test photo/gallery flows again after the `jibo test 24` fixes: open gallery, answer the stock `shared/yes_no` prompt with a transcript-bearing `yes`, hand into create, take one photo, keep it, and avoid blue-ring or `I heard you` stale turns.
- Regression test the added stop and volume slices: `stop that`, `never mind`, `turn it up`, `turn it down`, `set volume to six`, and `show volume controls`.
- Recheck backup/update behavior with explicit attention to robot-local `jibo.scheduler.backupStatus`, CPU/load, and whether the deployed cloud is involved at all.
- stop and volume are implemented but still need live stock-OS proof; robot age and command-versus-question personality routing are not implemented yet
