From c1fc2001219eb9aa349439b3007b57e1ced25335 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Danilo M." Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 11:20:12 +0200 Subject: assistant: a mic button asks by voice Each recording is a pw-record Process of its own, made from a Component like the Do row's runs, so a stopped recording's late exit cannot be read as the next one's. Stopping sets running to false (SIGTERM), which lets pw-record write the WAV header; the audio ask goes out from the process's exit, not from the click. Recording stops itself at 59 s: the daemon refuses over 60 s by file size, and the stop lands a little after the tick. Escape cancels a recording before it does anything else, and closing the card or losing the daemon cancels it too. A pw-record that ends on its own says "recording failed". Checked: a scratch harness saw transcribing, thinking, idle for a 2 s recording; by hand, every case in the spec passed with no pw-record left behind, a desktop shell reload mid-recording included.
