An asyncio-based modular monolith for a Chinese AI live streamer. It keeps the existing message filter, response generator, short-term memory, and long-term memory, then coordinates them through a bounded priority event bus, deterministic live orchestrator, streaming sentence/TTS pipeline, audited avatar actions, affinity ledger, and hot-slang retrieval.
The application is local-first: SQLite, memory files, mock TTS, simulated playback, simulated avatar actions, and external tracing are the safe defaults. No internal HTTP server is required.
- The deterministic priority order is system emergency, gift/subscription, follow-up or host voice, normal message, then idle event.
- The live state machine is
IDLE,CHATTING,PAUSED, orERROR; an LLM never selects transitions, priorities, TTL behavior, or cancellation. - Gift and subscription events pause playback after the current sentence, play a fixed acknowledgement, and resume only if the interrupted response remains valid.
- Model text streams into a sentence buffer before TTS. Generated, synthesized, and played positions are tracked separately.
- Incoming messages continue through normalization, rate limits, duplicate handling, and filtering while generation or playback is active.
- Logical emotion and motion proposals are validated again by the deterministic
ActionGateway; models have no hotkey, script, shell, or VTube Studio capability. - Affinity is an append-only deterministic ledger. The response prompt receives only a relationship stage and tone rules, never a model-editable score.
- Hot slang is retrieved only after message selection. Exact, BM25, vector, freshness, and confidence signals are fused explicitly; vectors may use the safe local fallback or opt-in LangChain embeddings, and expired/forbidden-context records are removed.
- Raw events and action/affinity audits are appended independently of the existing memory system. Sensitive fields are redacted from operational logs.
Python 3.11 or newer is required.
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install -e .For tests, type checking, linting, and formatting:
python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"For real cross-platform PCM playback, install the optional speech dependency:
python -m pip install -e ".[speech]"On Debian/Ubuntu/WSL, install the PortAudio runtime if it is not already present:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libportaudio2The application intentionally does not auto-load .env. Copy the example, edit it, and export it in your shell:

For the Qwen character responder, add the key only to the ignored local
config/streamer.toml file:
[llm.responder]
provider = "qwen"
api_key = "" # fill locally
base_url = "https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1"
model = "qwen-flash-character"
prompt_profile = "qwen_character"
[llm.controller]
enabled = true
provider = "qwen"
api_key = ""
reuse_responder_api_key = true
base_url = "https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1"
model = "qwen-flash"
temperature = 0.0
response_format = "json_object"No environment export is required. The configured langchain adapter uses
ChatOpenAI against Qwen's compatible endpoint. The character dialogue model retains
the original OpenAI-compatible client as a fallback before any streamed text has been
emitted. The strict controller has no legacy fallback: invalid or unavailable controller
output fails closed to neutral plus idle while preserving valid dialogue.
The key is stored as SecretStr and is unwrapped only while constructing a model
client. The controller can reuse the responder key without copying it; a direct
llm.controller.api_key takes precedence. Missing-key errors name only the config field.
conda run -n streamer ai-streamer-agent run \
--config config/streamer.toml \
--ephemeral-character-voiceThe LangChain adapter remains behind the project-owned model interface. Application modules do not consume LangChain message, model, document, or runnable types, and no LangGraph dependency or workflow is used.
System prompts are packaged as editable UTF-8 text templates under
src/ai_streamer_agent/prompt_templates/. The beta streamer character prompt is
qwen_character_dialogue_system.txt. Vivian's always-loaded identity and speaking rules live in
src/ai_streamer_agent/lore_data/vivian/core.md; the prompt inserts them through
{character_core}. Keep both {character_core} and {directive_contract} when editing the
template. In controller mode, the directive replacement requires dialogue only and asks the
character model for no control fields.
qwen_character_controller_system.txt contains the separate avatar-control prompt; the
runtime inserts only the configured logical emotion and motion names. The legacy
single-model prompt remains in qwen_character_system.txt for configs that do not enable
the controller.
The Qwen assistant opening example is kept beside it in qwen_character_opening.txt.
Because qwen-flash-character does not support provider-enforced structured output, it
produces only spoken dialogue. A separate qwen-flash call uses Qwen JSON mode, then an
exact Pydantic schema rejects missing fields, extra fields, unknown logical names, and
model-supplied hotkey IDs. Only the validated {emotion, motion} pair reaches Live2D and
TTS. Accidental control fragments from the dialogue model are stripped; a control-only or
empty completion is regenerated once, then uses orchestrator.empty_response_template,
so a final voice transcript never completes silently.
The controller receives a semantic rubric for every allowlisted standard emotion. neutral is the
baseline for ordinary dialogue; it selects a non-neutral emotion only when the delivery clearly
warrants one, without adding random variety.
An emotion is impossible to select unless it appears in allowed_emotions; real Live2D startup
also requires a non-empty hotkey mapping for it.
Character replies default to one compact paragraph of one to three sentences. Line breaks are
collapsed before terminal/TTS output. Viewer names are instructed to be copied exactly; close
ASCII truncations or spelling variants are deterministically repaired from the selected comment's
author field, while unrelated words and dialogue remain unchanged.
If a provider overruns runtime.max_reply_chars, the response is cut back to the last complete
sentence rather than sliced in the middle of a clause. A punctuation-free overrun receives a
bounded ellipsis as a last-resort fallback.
Vivian's detailed world, timeline, relationships, knowledge boundaries, and phase descriptions
are packaged beside the core. Each retrievable Markdown section has a stable ID, K0-K3 knowledge
level, phase allowlist, and search tags. The local retriever always injects the configured phase,
then ranks at most lore.top_k relevant sections with deterministic Chinese-aware BM25-style
scoring. It makes no embedding or network call. Host voice can use the configured global ceiling;
viewer comments are additionally capped at K0 for strangers, K1 for familiar viewers, and K2 for
close viewers. K3 author truth is never sent to the live model. Canon is delimited as read-only
reference data and outranks conversation memory without overriding safety or output rules.
The repo-local .agents/skills/vivian-streamer skill teaches Codex how to edit this canon, advance
story phases, update prompts, and run continuity checks. It is a maintenance workflow and is not
loaded by the live Qwen model.
The names below are the defaults. The corresponding *_env fields in config/streamer.toml can change which environment-variable names the process reads.
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
OPENAI_API_KEY |
empty | Required for real model calls; never needed with --mock-llm. |
OPENAI_BASE_URL |
https://api.openai.com/v1 |
OpenAI or OpenAI-compatible API base URL. |
ANALYZER_MODEL |
gpt-4.1-mini |
Model used by comment analysis. |
RESPONDER_MODEL |
gpt-4.1 |
Model used by streaming response generation. |
CONTROLLER_MODEL |
qwen-flash |
Legacy model-name fallback for the structured avatar controller. |
LLM_ADAPTER |
existing |
existing or langchain; an unknown value safely resolves to existing. |
LLM_PROVIDER |
openai |
Legacy provider fallback; openai and qwen are supported by the LangChain adapter. |
LANGCHAIN_TRACING_ENABLED |
false |
Enables only a sanitized application metadata hook when one is supplied. It does not enable LangSmith in the CLI. |
LANGCHAIN_TRACING_PROJECT |
ai-streamer-agent |
Project label available to a future configured trace integration. |
SLANG_EMBEDDING_MODEL |
text-embedding-3-small |
Embedding model used only when slang.semantic_mode = "langchain". |
AI_STREAMER_RVC_TOKEN |
empty | Optional shared bearer token for the parent process and its loopback RVC child. |
Ambient LANGSMITH_TRACING and LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2 are forced to false, including when the application metadata hook is enabled. The current CLI installs no external tracing exporter. A future exporter must redact content before transmission and honor observability.redact_external_traces.
config/streamer.toml is ignored and is the intended local configuration file.
config/*.local.toml is ignored as well. Never commit real keys; tracked TOML files
contain blank key placeholders only. A direct nested config value takes precedence
over its legacy environment fallback.

console, direct macos_say, qwen_tts, or the typed rvc conversion pipeline. |
speech.source_tts |
Source WAV provider for rvc: qwen_tts, macos_say on macOS, or local piper on Linux/WSL. |

Simulated playback timing used by local adapters/tests. |
Tokens are never sent individually to TTS. In sentence mode, complete phrases are sent to the
selected provider. In response mode, text is buffered until the model turn completes (or reaches
max_sentence_chars) so a remote Qwen TTS request plus RVC conversion produces continuous audio.
With qwen_tts, the same validated logical emotion that controls Live2D selects a configured
speaking instruction; the model never supplies the instruction or a hotkey ID. When realtime is
enabled, 24 kHz mono PCM is played as Qwen emits it. A failed stream may use the HTTP adapter only
before the first PCM chunk; after playback starts it stops without replaying the response. HTTP
audio is downloaded only from validated Alibaba Cloud result hosts and is size-bounded before WAV
parsing.
Local Piper/RVC traffic stays on loopback, and unconverted source audio is never played after an
RVC failure. See Alibaba Cloud's official
Qwen TTS model matrix,
realtime synthesis guide,
and HTTP synthesis guide.
Piper replaces macOS say -o on Linux and WSL. Keep it in a separate environment so its model
runtime stays loaded without changing the agent's dependencies:
python3 -m venv .venv-piper
.venv-piper/bin/python -m pip install "piper-tts[http]"
.venv-piper/bin/python -m piper.download_voices zh_CN-VOICE_NAME \
--data-dir data/models/piperThe voice download contains a matching .onnx and .onnx.json. Review its MODEL_CARD before
use; see Piper's voice guide
and HTTP API. Then install the
isolated RVC service and place the authorized model assets outside version control:
python3 -m venv .venv-rvc
.venv-rvc/bin/python -m pip install -e rvc_sidecar
mkdir -p data/models/rvc/characterCopy the character's .pth and .index into that directory, configure absolute paths and both
venv commands under [speech.piper] and [speech.rvc], then select:
[speech]
engine = "rvc"
source_tts = "piper" # or "qwen_tts"; use "macos_say" on macOS
voice = "zh_CN-VOICE_NAME"
[speech.piper]
command = ["/absolute/path/to/.venv-piper/bin/python", "-m", "piper.http_server"]
host = "127.0.0.1"
port = 5000
data_dir = "/absolute/path/to/data/models/piper"
startup_timeout_seconds = 30
request_timeout_seconds = 8
[speech.rvc]
command = ["/absolute/path/to/.venv-rvc/bin/python", "-m", "ai_streamer_rvc_sidecar"]
host = "127.0.0.1"
port = 8765
model_path = "/absolute/path/to/data/models/rvc/character/character.pth"
index_path = "/absolute/path/to/data/models/rvc/character/character.index"
startup_timeout_seconds = 90
conversion_timeout_seconds = 3
f0_method = "rmvpe"
pitch_semitones = 0
index_rate = 0.75
filter_radius = 3
rms_mix_rate = 0.25
protect = 0.33
output_sample_rate = 48000
failure_policy = "text_only"
warmup_enabled = true
warmup_phrases = ["这条弹幕挺有意思，", "我先接主播这句。"]
[speech.playback]
device = ""
sample_rate = 48000RVC also needs its trusted base inference assets. Point the sidecar at them before starting the
agent (the sidecar guide explains the upstream rvc init/rvc dlmodel
workflow):
export RVC_HUBERT_PATH=/absolute/path/to/hubert_base.pt
export RVC_RMVPE_PATH=/absolute/path/to/rmvpe.pt
# Optional, but useful even for a loopback-only service:
export AI_STREAMER_RVC_TOKEN='replace-with-a-random-local-secret'The .pth must be an exported inference checkpoint, not a training G_*.pth/D_*.pth. Use a
matching .index from the same voice. If retrieval is intentionally disabled, set
index_rate = 0 and leave index_path = "". Only load trusted checkpoints: PyTorch model loading
can execute code, and you must have permission to use the target voice.
Both child services bind only to loopback, are started before live input, keep their models warm,
and are stopped with the agent. Use ai-streamer-agent audio-devices to list PortAudio output
devices. An empty speech.playback.device selects the system default. WSL requires a working WSLg
or PulseAudio output; Windows-side OBS routing remains an operating-system audio configuration.
With speech.rvc.warmup_enabled = true, the RVC sidecar completes one silent inference before it
reports ready. Each configured warmup_phrases entry is then synthesized and converted through the
same source-TTS/RVC path without reaching playback. This moves lazy MPS/CPU initialization into
startup. Warm-up failure follows failure_policy, so unconverted source speech is never played.
On WSL, keep Piper and RVC models under the Linux filesystem (for example /home/you/models), and
use absolute Linux paths—not /mnt/c/...—for lower model-loading and inference overhead. After the
mock suite passes, opt into the real-model latency check with a separate RVC-enabled config:
AI_STREAMER_REAL_SPEECH_CONFIG=/absolute/path/to/rvc-smoke.toml \
.venv/bin/python -m unittest tests.test_real_speech_smoke -vThis starts and warms both services, validates the output device without playing test audio, requires warm first converted audio below 1.5 seconds, and requires sustained conversion faster than real time.

Queue gauges, stage durations, failures, interruptions, expiration/discard counts, first-text/first-audio latency, and end-to-end latency distributions are collected locally. Application correctness does not depend on LangSmith or another telemetry service.
On startup, SQLitePersistence.initialize() creates the parent directory and applies packaged, numbered migrations from src/ai_streamer_agent/migrations. Applied versions are recorded in SQLite; do not edit the database schema by hand.
The default database is:
data/live_state.db
It contains independent append-only raw-event, audit, and affinity history plus the hot-slang repository. Existing memory remains separate:
data/memory/short/YYYY-MM-DD.jsonl
data/memory/long_term.jsonl
Memory commands remain available:
ai-streamer-agent memory add-long "观众小明喜欢被叫作明明" --tag viewer
ai-streamer-agent memory show-recent --config config/streamer.tomlReplay a session or one correlation lifecycle from the raw event log:
ai-streamer-agent replay --config config/streamer.toml --session-id default
ai-streamer-agent replay --config config/streamer.toml --correlation-id CORRELATION_IDReplay always constructs a mock model, mock TTS, simulated playback, and simulated action executor. It cannot trigger real speech, OS commands, hotkeys, or external actions.
Run bounded local health checks:
ai-streamer-agent health --config config/streamer.toml --mock-llmExternal provider probes are disabled by the CLI. Optional components that are not configured are reported explicitly; a non-healthy aggregate exits nonzero.
Enable a local Bilibili bridge in TOML and send normalized JSON over WebSocket:
[input.danmuji_ws]
enabled = true
url = "ws://127.0.0.1:18080"{"type":"comment","user":"观众名","uid":"123","text":"主播晚上好"}
{"type":"gift","user":"观众名","uid":"123","gift_name":"小花花","count":1}
{"type":"subscription","user":"观众名","uid":"123","text":"开通了订阅"}Common forwarded Bilibili DANMU_MSG payloads are also accepted. A voice/Discord ASR bridge sends:
{"type":"voice","speaker":"主播","text":"这个问题先回答一下"}Enable it with input.voice_transcript_ws.enabled = true and configure its local URL.
For open speakers, keep the default conversation_mode = "half_duplex"; the agent pauses
microphone processing for its complete response and resumes it after the configured speaker-tail
delay. conversation_mode = "full_duplex" enables voice interruption and requires headphones or
an isolated audio route because acoustic echo cancellation is not included.
The optional package under stt_sidecar/ supplies that ASR bridge without adding model or
microphone dependencies to the main agent. Its default live mode keeps a 16 kHz mono microphone
open and sends one finalized Whisper transcript to the existing voice_transcript_ws input after
you finish speaking:
{"type":"voice","speaker":"主播","text":"先回答这个","platform":"local_voice"}Use a dedicated Python 3.11+ environment. On Apple Silicon, the mac extra uses MLX Whisper:
python3 -m venv .venv-stt
source .venv-stt/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install -e "stt_sidecar[mac,dev]"On Linux or WSL, use faster-whisper. Its automatic mode selects CUDA/float16 when CUDA is usable and otherwise uses CPU/int8:
python3 -m venv .venv-stt
source .venv-stt/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install -e "stt_sidecar[linux,dev]"WSL must expose a working PortAudio/PulseAudio microphone. Confirm the input device and test one bounded recording before running the full agent:
ai-streamer-stt devices --config stt_sidecar/config/example.toml
ai-streamer-stt record --config stt_sidecar/config/example.toml --seconds 5The first real transcription can download multilingual large-v3-turbo into the normal Hugging
Face cache. Apple MLX uses deterministic greedy decoding because its decoder does not implement
beam search; faster-whisper keeps beam size 5. Change model.model to large-v3 for an accuracy
comparison or to an existing local model directory for offline startup. Audio stays in memory
unless record --output FILE.wav is supplied explicitly.
For a safe end-to-end macOS voice test with open speakers, start these in separate terminals:
# Terminal 1: always listening; do not press Enter.
ai-streamer-stt serve --config stt_sidecar/config/example.toml --mode live
# Terminal 2: deterministic mock LLM with spoken macOS `say` output.
.venv/bin/ai-streamer-agent run --config config/stt-live-macos.toml --mock-llmAfter the one-second ambient-noise calibration, speak normally while the agent is idle. After
700 ms of silence, Whisper transcribes the complete utterance once and the final transcript starts
exactly one new model response. Before generation or playback starts, the agent sends a pause
control to the sidecar. The sidecar keeps draining microphone frames but resets VAD and emits no
activity, transcript, or Whisper job while the response is active. It resumes 400 ms after the
entire response finishes, which lets the speaker tail decay. In this default half-duplex mode,
wait for [stt] capture resumed before speaking again; voice barge-in is intentionally disabled.
The sidecar does not infer, print, or broadcast partial transcripts.
To opt into immediate speech-onset interruption, change the agent configuration explicitly:
[input.voice_transcript_ws]
enabled = true
url = "ws://127.0.0.1:18180"
conversation_mode = "full_duplex"
resume_delay_seconds = 0.4Full-duplex mode does not pause microphone capture. Use headphones or a separated microphone and speaker route so the model's own voice cannot trigger a barge-in.
Remove --mock-llm for a real configured LLM run. speech.synthesis_mode = "sentence" begins
playing completed sentences while later text is generated; the local RVC run uses "response"
to favor uninterrupted audio over time-to-first-audio.
This mode still uses AgentRuntime, the priority event bus, voice activity and final-transcript
events, TTL/deduplication/cancellation, half-duplex capture control, streaming speech, and Live2D
actions. It does not construct SQLite persistence, file memory, raw-event/replay records, action
audits, affinity/slang repositories, or the comment analyzer. Only 20 successfully completed,
safe conversation pairs are held in RAM for Qwen context; failed, cancelled, expired, or
safety-rejected turns are not committed, and the RAM history is cleared on exit.
The local config/streamer.toml voice path is Qwen3 Instruct TTS → warmed RVC → PortAudio. Qwen
selects its trusted speaking instruction from the controller's validated logical emotion, the
same value used for Live2D expression control; RVC then changes the voice timbre while keeping that
delivery. synthesis_mode = "response" makes one synthesis/conversion job per completed reply,
avoiding gaps caused by serial remote TTS and RVC work between short clauses.
Terminal 1:
conda activate streamer
cd /Users/dongyueqi/Documents/AI-Streamer-Agent
ai-streamer-stt serve --mode liveTerminal 2:
conda activate streamer
cd /Users/dongyueqi/Documents/AI-Streamer-Agent
ai-streamer-agent run \
--config config/streamer.toml \
--ephemeral-character-voiceWhen [input.console].enabled = true, Terminal 2 is also an interactive test input:
an unprefixed line is published through the event bus as a synthetic host-voice event.
comment Name: text is preserved as a viewer comment and selected by a deterministic pass-through
selector without calling a comment analyzer model. q, quit, or exit shuts the run down.
Provider failures emit only redacted operational
fields such as error_type and error_code; prompts, transcripts, responses, and credentials
are never included. Structured diagnostics go only to
observability.ephemeral_log_path; the terminal remains available for input and prints each reply
as [llm emotion=NAME motion=NAME] dialogue. These are the validated logical names used by TTS and
Live2D; the prefix is terminal-only and is never spoken or stored in conversation history. This
JSONL file is operational telemetry, not a raw event/replay,
memory, or action-audit store. TTS and RVC completion records include safe latency and duration
fields for diagnosing future audio stalls.
Live VAD includes 300 ms of pre-roll and caps one uninterrupted utterance at 30 seconds.
Push-to-talk and final-only VAD remain available as diagnostic modes with --mode push-to-talk
and --mode vad.
Run the deterministic sidecar suite without loading or downloading a real model:
python -m unittest discover -s stt_sidecar/tests -vAn opt-in real-model file test accepts a 16 kHz mono PCM WAV:
AI_STREAMER_REAL_STT_AUDIO=/absolute/path/sample.wav \
AI_STREAMER_REAL_STT_EXPECT=测试 \
python -m unittest discover -s stt_sidecar/tests -p "test_real_stt_smoke.py" -vThe canonical slang database separates semantic aliases from explicit STT correction aliases. Import the reviewed example, inspect records, or review candidates fetched from configured HTTPS JSON/RSS feeds:
ai-streamer-agent slang import config/streamer-name-slang.json --config config/streamer.toml
ai-streamer-agent slang import config/slang-glossary.example.json --config config/streamer.toml
ai-streamer-agent slang sync --config config/streamer.toml
ai-streamer-agent slang candidates --config config/streamer.toml
ai-streamer-agent slang approve 1 --stt-alias 决决子 --config config/streamer.toml
ai-streamer-agent slang reject 2 --config config/streamer.toml
ai-streamer-agent slang list --config config/streamer.tomlconfig/streamer-name-slang.json holds the current streamer-name vocabulary record. Its initial
term is 薇薇安, with Vivian and reviewed STT variants as aliases. If replacing the character,
delete the old term, edit the file, and import it again:
ai-streamer-agent slang delete 薇薇安 --config config/streamer.toml
ai-streamer-agent slang import config/streamer-name-slang.json --config config/streamer.tomlSynchronization never changes recognition by itself: it only creates pending candidates. Local
approval atomically regenerates data/slang/stt_lexicon.json, and the sidecar reloads it between
utterances. Whisper receives a confidence/freshness-ranked prompt bounded to 40 forms and 200
characters; faster-whisper also receives hotwords. Conservative post-correction accepts explicit
approved aliases or an unambiguous high-confidence Chinese pinyin match, and does not fuzzy-rewrite
English, URLs, numbers, or code.
Create a private corpus under the gitignored stt-eval/ directory and run:
ai-streamer-stt evaluate stt-eval/manifest.jsonl --config stt_sidecar/config/example.tomlEach JSONL row needs audio and text; optional language, subset, and memes fields enable
English WER, subset metrics, and meme recall. The report includes CER, WER, meme exact recall,
false corrections, and warm median/p95 latency. See stt_sidecar/README.md for the manifest schema
and the 30–50 recording test matrix.
Before enabling real avatar actions, verify the active configuration deliberately:
- Create expression and motion hotkeys in VTube Studio.
- Enable the plugin API and run
conda run -n streamer ai-streamer-agent vtube hotkeys --config config/streamer.toml. - Copy IDs into
vtube_studio.emotion_hotkeysandvtube_studio.motion_hotkeys. - Add or remove the matching logical names in
action_gateway.allowed_emotionsandallowed_motions. For each allowed emotion, add the same logical name underspeech.qwen_tts.emotion_instructions. - Restart the agent. Set
simulation_mode = falseonly when ready for external execution.
The controller prompt receives exactly the logical allowlist names and never receives hotkey IDs;
the character dialogue model receives neither the names nor the IDs.
neutral and idle are mandatory. With simulation disabled, startup requires a mapping for
neutral, every allowed non-TTS-only emotion, and every allowed non-idle motion. The neutral hotkey must
idempotently remove/deactivate expressions; do not map it to a toggleable neutral overlay.
For Qwen TTS, startup still requires an instruction mapping for every allowed emotion. A validated
emotion normally selects both the Live2D expression and TTS delivery style; an emotion listed in
tts_only_emotions selects only the TTS style and intentionally skips Live2D actions.
The token is stored at vtube_studio.token_path and must remain private. The mouth animation injects a VTube Studio tracking input such as MouthOpen, not a Live2D output parameter.
ai-streamer-agent vtube mouth-test --config config/streamer.toml --seconds 3Run the same local checks used for changes:
conda run -n streamer python -m unittest discover -s tests -v
conda run -n streamer mypy src
conda run -n streamer ruff check src tests
conda run -n streamer ruff format --check src testsThe real Qwen test is opt-in because it uses the configured provider key and incurs API usage. It performs 20 streamed turns and enforces the warm first-packet p50/p95 targets:
AI_STREAMER_REAL_QWEN_CONFIG=config/streamer.toml \
conda run -n streamer python -m unittest \
tests.test_real_speech_smoke.RealQwenRealtimeSmokeTests -vApply formatting with python -m ruff format src tests. SQLite calls and legacy memory file operations are moved off the event loop where used by the live orchestrator; all event, sentence, audio, retry, cache, and rate-limit structures are bounded.
- The LangChain model adapter supports
openaiandqwenthrough OpenAI-compatible endpoints. The original adapter remains the pre-stream fallback. - Direct
qwen_ttscan streamqwen3-tts-instruct-flash-realtimePCM and use the existingqwen3-tts-instruct-flashHTTP adapter only before first audio. Validated emotions select trusted config instructions.console, direct macOSsay, and optional local Piper/RVC remain available. - Hot-slang retrieval defaults to bounded local lexical vectors. Set
slang.semantic_mode = "langchain", provideOPENAI_API_KEY, and chooseSLANG_EMBEDDING_MODELto opt into provider-backed semantic embeddings; exact/BM25 retrieval remains the degradation path. - No external trace exporter is registered. Adding one requires sanitized metadata-only callbacks and explicit opt-in; ambient LangSmith tracing remains disabled.
- Bilibili and voice ingestion require local WebSocket bridges; platform credentials are not handled by this process.
- VTube Studio hotkey IDs and plugin approval are model-specific and must be supplied by the operator.
