# Family Voice — Project Definition

## Purpose

Family Voice covers the privacy-first local voice-context and speaker-identification prototype, with future device integration only after offline evaluation and explicit consent decisions.

## Execution map

| Host / target | Repository / service | Paseo-project role | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mac mini `.102` | `~/Projects/voice-speaker-id` | `Family Voice · Speaker ID` | Registered local workspace `wks_42151868896725e9` on `main`; offline CLI-only prototype |
| ESP32 / iPhone devices | audio input sources | Project assets, not Paseo hosts | No always-listening deployment is approved |

## Personas

- Privacy planner: evaluates scope, consent, retention, and data boundaries.
- ML experimenter: isolated code work without raw-audio export.
- Evaluation verifier: runs reproducible offline scoring/evaluation only.
- Privacy/security reviewer: checks data handling, authorization claims, and accidental cloud transmission.
- Device integration planner: design-only until explicit device approval.

## Safety boundaries

- Cached clips are never treated as approved enrollment data by filename alone.
- Do not upload raw audio, commit recordings/embeddings, create a listener, modify firmware, or enable always-listening capture without explicit approval.
- Speaker recognition must never be the sole authority for high-impact actions.

## Factory readiness next actions

1. Confirm repository checks and ignored-data boundaries.
2. Register the local repository workspace.
3. Define an evaluation-only Paseo contract.
4. Run no automated collection/deployment schedule until consent, retention, and calibration decisions are documented.
