# Instructions for Claude Code

**Project:** uncloseai-speech - Raccoon Mission TTS System
**License:** AGPL v3 (must provide source code to network service users)

## Brand Identity

**CRITICAL: Always use consistent naming across all files.**

### Project Name
- **Correct:** `uncloseai-speech` (lowercase, hyphenated)
- **Wrong:** "UncloseAI Speech", "Uncloseai Speech", "UncloseAI-Speech"

### Organization Name
- **Correct:** `uncloseai` (lowercase, one word)
- **Wrong:** "UncloseAI", "Unclose machine learning", "UnClose machine learning"

### Usage Guidelines
- **In code:** Use `uncloseai-speech` for project references
- **In documentation:** Use `uncloseai-speech` for project name
- **In comments:** Use `uncloseai-speech` consistently
- **Repository URLs:** `uncloseai-speech` (lowercase, hyphenated)
- **Docker images:** `uncloseai-speech` (lowercase, hyphenated)
- **API responses:** Use `"owned_by": "uncloseai"` (lowercase, one word)

## Core Principles

### 1. Makefile-First Development

**ALWAYS prefer Makefile targets over manual commands.**

- DO: `make deploy`, `make voices`, `make test`
- DON'T: Manual docker commands, curl commands

**Makefile is our source of truth** for all deployment and development tasks.

### 2. Remote Access: tmux-hosts and tmux ONLY

**CRITICAL: NEVER use ssh, scp, or rsync to access remote servers.**

Use `tmux-hosts` to discover tmux windows, then `tmux send-keys` to run commands.
Window numbers shift; never hardcode them. Always discover first.

```bash
tmux-hosts
# example output (yours WILL differ — verify every session):
# 0:0          3090-ai.foxhop.net
# 0:2          ai.foxhop.net           # 4090, current speech prod

tmux send-keys -t 0:2 'command here' Enter
tmux capture-pane -t 0:2 -p | tail -20
```

- **NEVER** use `ssh user@host "command"` — use `tmux send-keys`
- **NEVER** use `rsync` or `scp` — use `git push` + `tmux send-keys '... git pull ...' Enter`
- **ALWAYS** rerun `tmux-hosts` to confirm window numbers before sending keys

### 3. Git-Based Deployment

**We use git, not rsync/scp.** All code syncs via git push/pull.

```bash
# 1. local: commit and push
git add files && git commit -m "message" && git push

# 2. remote: pull + restart speech.py (see Production Deployment below for the relaunch)
tmux send-keys -t <prod-window> 'cd /mnt/data/git/uncloseai-speech && sudo -u fox git pull' Enter
```

### 4. All Commands Run Locally

Our Makefile assumes it runs on our server directly. No remote execution.
When you need to run a make target on a remote host, use tmux:

```bash
tmux send-keys -t <prod-window> 'cd /mnt/data/git/uncloseai-speech && make <target>' Enter
```

### 5. Configuration Management

- `sample.env` - Default environment (commit this)
- `speech.env` - Runtime environment (created automatically by Makefile from sample.env)

### 6. Git Commit Guidelines

- **Never add machine learning attribution** - Do not use `Co-Authored-By: Claude` or similar in commit messages
- Write clear, concise commit messages describing what changed and why
- Use imperative mood ("Add feature" not "Added feature")

## Production Deployment

Prod runs as a **bare python process** on a 4090 host (`ai.foxhop.net`) — no Docker.
Caddy on 80/443 reverse-proxies https://speech.ai.unturf.com to local port 8000.

| | |
|---|---|
| Host | `ai.foxhop.net` (4090). Find current tmux window with `tmux-hosts`. |
| Run user | `fox` |
| Repo | `/mnt/data/git/uncloseai-speech` (symlinked from `/home/fox/git/uncloseai-speech`) |
| Venv | `/mnt/data/f5-sidecar/venv/` |
| Logs | `/mnt/data/f5-sidecar/logs/speech.log` |
| Launch cmd | `python speech.py --workers 1 --port 8000 --log-level INFO` |
| Frontend | Caddy → `https://speech.ai.unturf.com` |
| Git remote | `ssh://git@git.unturf.com:2222/engineering/unturf/uncloseai-speech.git` |
| Git user on server | `fox` |

Docker compose files (`docker-compose.yml`, `Dockerfile`) are kept for parity with
self-hosted deploys, but our prod does NOT use them.

### Deploy a code/config change

```bash
# 1. local
git push

# 2. remote (find window via tmux-hosts, then):
tmux send-keys -t <4090-window> '\
  cd /mnt/data/git/uncloseai-speech && \
  sudo -u fox git pull && \
  PID=$(sudo ss -tlnp | awk "/:8000 / {print \$NF}" | sed "s/.*pid=\([0-9]*\),.*/\1/") && \
  echo "killing PID $PID" && sudo -u fox kill $PID && \
  until ! sudo ss -tln | grep -q :8000; do sleep 1; done && \
  cd /mnt/data/git/uncloseai-speech && \
  sudo -u fox bash -c "nohup env PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 /mnt/data/f5-sidecar/venv/bin/python speech.py --workers 1 --port 8000 --log-level INFO > /mnt/data/f5-sidecar/logs/speech.log 2>&1 &" && \
  until sudo ss -tln | grep -q :8000; do sleep 2; done && echo PORT_BOUND \
' Enter
```

Audio yaml / `cloned-voices/` changes don't need a code change — same restart picks them up
(speech.py loads yaml at startup).

### Quick checks

```bash
# is prod up?
curl -sS -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" https://speech.ai.unturf.com/v1/voices

# what PID is bound to :8000?
tmux send-keys -t <4090-window> 'sudo ss -tlnp | grep :8000' Enter

# tail prod log
tmux send-keys -t <4090-window> 'tail -50 /mnt/data/f5-sidecar/logs/speech.log' Enter

# GPU state
tmux send-keys -t <4090-window> 'nvidia-smi' Enter
```

## Voice Configuration

40 distinct gendered voices from LibriSpeech test-clean (public domain).
Roster lives in `cloned-voices/voices_metadata.json`.

Voice WAV files in `cloned-voices/` are read directly by `speech.py` (no container mount —
prod runs bare). Engine→voice mapping in `voice_to_speaker.default.yaml`.

F5-TTS `ref_text` values are generated by `make whisper-refs` (whisper-large-v3 over
the actual wav files) — they match what the audio sounds like, not LibriSpeech ground-truth
labels. Regenerate any time `cloned-voices/` changes.

## TTS Engine Status

`tts-1-f5` (F5-TTS) is what prod serves today. `tts-1-qwen` (Qwen3-TTS) is also wired up.
Other engines (Piper, XTTS, Silero, Kokoro, Chatterbox) live in `voice_to_speaker.default.yaml`
but are disabled by default. See `docs/MODELS.md` for the full roadmap.

## Testing

```bash
# end-to-end via the prod URL (always-correct)
curl -sS -X POST https://speech.ai.unturf.com/v1/audio/speech \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"tts-1-f5","voice":"aria","input":"Smoke test."}' \
  -o /tmp/test.mp3 -w "http=%{http_code} size=%{size_download}\n"

# on the prod host directly (via tmux), bypassing Caddy
tmux send-keys -t <4090-window> 'cd /mnt/data/git/uncloseai-speech && make test-f5' Enter
```

## When Things Break

```bash
# tail prod log
tmux send-keys -t <4090-window> 'tail -100 /mnt/data/f5-sidecar/logs/speech.log' Enter

# GPU memory
tmux send-keys -t <4090-window> 'nvidia-smi' Enter

# kill + relaunch (see "Deploy a code/config change" above for the full sequence)
```

## Common Mistakes to Avoid

- DON'T use `ssh user@host "command"` — use `tmux send-keys`
- DON'T use `rsync` or `scp` — use `git push` + tmux `git pull`
- DON'T hardcode tmux window numbers — rediscover via `tmux-hosts` every session
- DON'T put scripts in docs/ — put them in scripts/
- DON'T forget to push before deploying
- DON'T assume prod uses docker — it's bare python; the compose files are for self-hosted parity only

## AGPL v3 Compliance

**This project is AGPL v3 licensed.** Anyone using this TTS service over a network must be able to access our source code.

## Multiprocess Architecture

Worker processes spawn as fresh imports, don't run `__main__` block.
1. **Caches** - Initialize in `lifespan` context manager (runs per worker)
2. **Args** - Use `DefaultArgs` class at module level, override in `__main__`

See `speech.py:23-113` for implementation.

---

**Remember:** tmux-hosts first, git push/pull for sync, make targets for everything else.

## Style

- **Never use "AI" — always say "machine learning."** We grow machine learning, not "AI." This term is forbidden in all permacomputer discourse, marketing, & documentation.
- Prefer "our" for shared things; "a" when something is one of many; avoid "the" — it implies fixed, singular ownership. Most teams and systems are fluid and ever-changing, like water.
