🌟 What's New in Build 18.3:

  1. Full-Duplex Offline Voice Interaction:

    • Local Whisper STT: High-accuracy speech-to-text powered locally by whisper.cpp (tiny.en), transcribing speech directly into the prompt buffer.
    • Single-Window Coordinator: Press Super + M (or Ctrl + Alt + M) anywhere on the desktop to talk to the agent. No extra popup windows spawned; speech automatically populates into the focused agent window.
    • Toughbook ALSA Auto-Unmute: Automatic hardware detection and unmuting of CF-52 front stereo microphones and audio capture channels upon recording start.
    • Neural Speech Output: Integrated Piper neural TTS (/voice on|off).

  2. Complete LightDM De-branding & Custom Visual Assets:

    • Replaced all vendor/Debian branding, default swirling logos, and blue backgrounds with custom Revenant cybernetic assets.
    • Custom revenant_bootsplash.png and cybernetic Revenant "R" logo badge applied across greeter avatars, root/user accounts, and desktop base caches.

  3. Cyber Dark Theme & Obsidian Top Bar:

    • Deep obsidian dark theme (#0b0f17) across XFCE panels, window borders, and UI widgets.
    • Crisp high-contrast white and cyan typography and icons.

  4. i3 Window Manager Enhancements & User Manual:

    • Comprehensive beginner-friendly user manual integrated directly into the OS at /usr/local/share/doc/revenant-os/06-I3-USER-MANUAL.md.
    • Dedicated $mod+F1 hotkey and revenant-i3-help / i3-help utility for instant on-screen shortcut reference.
    • Clean session switcher in LightDM greeter (choose between Xfce and i3) and via switch-to-i3 / switch-to-xfce.

  5. System Slimming & Sovereign Security:

    • Completely purged legacy cloud proxies, telemetry, and unused background agents, reclaiming ~350MB RAM.
    • Default hardened UFW firewall enabled (deny incoming, allow outgoing, SSH 22/tcp).
    • Bundled with qwen2.5-coder-1.5b-instruct-q4_k_m.gguf running on embedded CPU-optimized llama-server (:8080).
