Extract OpenHuman's portable voice core into TinyVoice - #2
Conversation
Replaces the rust-template scaffold with the real crate, and converts the
repository into the two-crate workspace the tinydocs/tinywallet module
repositories use: a publishable `tinyvoice` rlib at the root, and a
`tinyvoice-module` cdylib under `crates/` that adapts it to the TinyBus
module ABI. The adapter exists so the vendored TinyBus dependency never
reaches the library.
What moved, from OpenHuman:
- `audio` <- voice::audio_capture (silence gate, resample, downmix)
and inference::voice::wav (RIFF/WAVE framing)
- `vad` <- voice::always_on::VadSegmenter
- `intent` <- voice::command_router, plus the wake-word gate that was
embedded in voice::always_on
- `transcript`<- inference::voice::hallucination
Each unit was already pure or had a pure core; the host-coupled halves
(cpal capture, the axum server, hotkeys, RPC schemas, Config/RpcOutcome)
stay with OpenHuman by design. `hound` is not needed: the WAV writer is
44 bytes of header, which is why OpenHuman already had a dependency-free
copy of it in the ungated half of its tree.
Behaviour is unchanged and the original tests came across with it. One
documented quirk is pinned rather than silently tightened: an early
"tiny" in an ordinary sentence can trigger the wake word, because the
same fuzzy anchor is what makes "a tinny open slack" work.
The bus interface is stateless and per-utterance. The VAD does not fit
that shape -- it is driven once per 20ms frame -- so `Segment` takes a
batch, and a realtime host is directed to link the rlib and hold its own
segmenter instead of paying an IPC hop per frame.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR converts the Rust template into the TinyVoice workspace. It adds host-agnostic audio, intent, transcript, and VAD primitives, introduces a TinyBus ABI v1 module, updates documentation and examples, and replaces release packaging and verification. ChangesTinyVoice platform
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to This PR introduces a loadable native voice module and release pipeline, but the current head can publish releases that fail runtime verification, omit required packages or documentation, and mishandle malformed audio inputs; the release workflow also has broader repository authority than necessary. These issues can leave unusable artifacts downloadable and cause caller failures, so merge should be blocked until the release, contract, and input-validation problems are fixed.

In @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Around line 320-325: Update the “Download workflow artifacts” step to download
source-packages separately from the tinyvoice-module-* native archives, keeping
each artifact set in its own directory so the 11-archive checksum validation
remains limited to native packages. Update the gh release create upload inputs
to include both directories, publishing the .crate and vendored TinyBus source
archive alongside the native packages.
- Line 261: Update both packaging branches in the release workflow to copy
MODULE.md into each archive root, alongside the existing documentation files;
retain the current Unix specification and Windows document behavior otherwise.
In `@crates/tinyvoice-module/examples/verify_module.rs`:

path; replace the local BUS_NAME and OBJECT_PATH declarations in
crates/tinyvoice-module/examples/verify_module.rs lines 12-13 and
crates/tinyvoice-module/examples/verify_github_release.rs lines 20-21 with
imports of BUS_NAME and OBJECT_PATH from tinyvoice_module, reusing the canonical
values re-exported by lib.rs.
In `@docs/specs/tinybus-module-release.md`:
- Around line 15-16: Update the release archive naming statement in the
specification to use the tinyvoice-module prefix, matching the workflow’s
emitted archive name while preserving the existing version, platform, and
extension placeholders.
In `@docs/specs/tinybus-module.md`:
- Around line 9-20: Rewrite the TinyBus module specification around the current
Voice ABI: document the Voice object and all seven voice methods, replacing the
stale Documents and five document-method contract. Remove DOCX, PPTX, PDF,
output-store, and document-transfer requirements while retaining accurate
installation, ABI/loading, packaging, and broker-integration details.
In `@MODULE.md`:
- Around line 32-35: Correct the duration estimate in the samples payload
documentation: replace the inaccurate “roughly eight minutes” statement with the
actual limit of about 98 seconds for 16 kHz mono little-endian f32 audio, while
preserving the existing 8 MiB cap and pre-decode validation details.
In `@src/audio/mod.rs`:
- Around line 135-140: Update pcm16_to_wav to reject sample buffers whose length
is not divisible by channels, and perform checked arithmetic before allocation
for block_align, byte_rate, data_len, and total RIFF size; reject channel counts
or calculated values that exceed their WAV field limits, including payloads
beyond RIFF’s representable size. Add regression tests covering ragged
interleaved samples, overflowing channel/block-align calculations, excessive
byte rates, and oversized payloads.

Include MODULE.md in every module archive.

Publish the source packages in the GitHub release.
source-packages does not match tinyvoice-module-*. The download step omits the .crate file and the vendored TinyBus source archive. The gh release create command then uploads only native module packages.
Download source-packages separately. Keep native archives in a separate directory for the 11-archive checksum check. Include both directories in the release upload.

Both verification examples address an object path the module does not serve. crates/tinyvoice-module/src/service/mod.rs line 19 serves /ai/tinyhumans/tinyvoice/Voice, but each example redeclares a local OBJECT_PATH of /ai.tinyhumans.tinyvoice.Voice. The bus-name wait still passes, so each example fails at its Route call and reports a valid module as broken. crates/tinyvoice-module/src/lib.rs line 28 already re-exports BUS_NAME and OBJECT_PATH.

The workflow emits tinyvoice-module-<version>-<platform>.<extension>. This specification declares tinyvoice-<version>-<platform>.<extension>. A caller that follows this contract cannot locate the published archive.
Update the specification to use the tinyvoice-module prefix.

Replace the stale document-module specification.
This file describes document generation, the Documents object, and five document methods. The released module provides the Voice object and seven voice methods. The Unix package also ships this file as module documentation.
Rewrite this specification for the current Voice ABI. Remove the DOCX, PPTX, PDF, output-store, and document-transfer contract.

Correct the maximum-duration estimate.
At 16 kHz mono, little-endian f32 audio uses 64,000 bytes per second. An 8 MiB base64 payload decodes to about 6 MiB, which is about 98 seconds, not eight minutes.
State the actual limit so callers can size recordings correctly.

Reject invalid and unrepresentable WAV layouts.
pcm16_to_wav accepts a ragged interleaved buffer. For example, one sample with channels = 2 produces a stereo header with an incomplete frame. It also evaluates channels * 16 as u16. With channels = 4096, this overflows before the header is written.
Validate frame alignment and all WAV field bounds with checked arithmetic before allocation. Reject channel counts that cannot fit block_align, byte rates that cannot fit u32, and payloads larger than RIFF can represent. Add regression tests for these inputs.

Unchanged, and the original tests came across with it. One documented quirk is pinned rather than quietly tightened: an early "tiny" in an ordinary sentence can trigger the wake word, because the same fuzzy anchor is what makes
"a tinny open slack"work. Tightening it has a real cost on the other side — a missed wake word reads as a dead microphone — so it is recorded as a test with its rationale rather than changed during an extraction.The VAD boundary, and why
Segmentis a batchEvery bus method is stateless and per-utterance. The VAD does not fit that shape: a segmenter is driven once per 20 ms frame, and a bus round trip at that cadence costs more than the work it carries.
So
Segmenttakes a batch of frame energies and returns frame-indexed events, which suits offline segmentation. A host in a hard-realtime capture loop is directed — in the crate docs, the README andMODULE.md— to link the rlib and hold its ownVadSegmenterinstead. The library has no bus dependency precisely so that this stays possible.Verification
