 ## Next action
 
 Run the Adolfo-only enrollment/scoring prototype against the clearest available local recordings, using conservative thresholds and an explicit unknown state. Do not deploy always-listening capture or modify ESP32 firmware until the offline scoring behavior is measured.

+## Prototype started 2026-08-08
+
+Local project: `~/Projects/voice-speaker-id`. It uses a pretrained SpeechBrain ECAPA speaker encoder, manual clip review, and offline CLI scoring. The safe first test requires explicit approval of clips before enrollment. No HTTP listener, microphone capture, Pipecat integration, ESP32 firmware change, or automatic brain ingestion is enabled.
