ClientIdMiddleware was running the SQLAlchemy SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/COMMIT
inline on the event loop after every /mcp/* and /speak request. SQLite
serialises writes, so concurrent MCP traffic queued behind the stamp
write — the response sat waiting on a side-effect that the client never
needs in band, and SSE streams would stall briefly per request.
The middleware now hands the stamp to asyncio.to_thread via a fire-and-
forget create_task so the response returns immediately and the write
runs on the default executor. A module-level set keeps strong refs to
in-flight tasks (per asyncio docs) so the GC can't collect them mid-
write. The fallback path runs the stamp inline if no loop is available
(tests/oddball callers) rather than silently dropping it.
audio_path mode took any absolute filesystem path and returned its
decoded contents as transcribed text with no caller verification beyond
the existence/size checks. The X-Voicebox-Client-Id middleware records
the header but never rejects an absent or fake one, so a Voicebox bound
to 0.0.0.0 (the documented "remote access" mode) was effectively an
unauthenticated arbitrary-local-file read primitive.
The middleware now stashes the request's remote address in a ContextVar
alongside the existing client_id, and audio_path mode refuses anything
that doesn't parse as a loopback address (IPv4 127.0.0.0/8, IPv6 ::1).
audio_base64 mode is unchanged — that path was always bounded to bytes
the caller already has.
Loopback callers (the Tauri webview, local CLI scripts, MCP clients on
the same machine) keep working. Remote callers now have to send the
audio over the wire if they want it transcribed.
POST /speak is a REST wrapper around voicebox.speak for agents that
don't talk MCP (shell scripts, ACP, A2A). It reads X-Voicebox-Client-Id
and uses it for the same per-client profile resolution + default
personality lookup the MCP tool does (speak.py:39-64), so its callers
are first-class clients — but the ClientIdMiddleware only stamped
last_seen_at on /mcp* paths. REST speak callers showed up as "never
seen" in Settings → MCP despite actively acting on their bindings.
Widen the stamp predicate to an explicit ("/mcp", "/speak") prefix
list, and require a path boundary on match so future routes named
/mcpfoo or /speakers don't silently inherit the stamp via the prefix.
New test_client_id_middleware.py pins the scope with 17 parametrised
cases (both the allowed set and the overlap cases that must not match).

- Collapse intent tri-state (respond/rewrite/compose) to `personality: bool` on /generate, /speak, and voicebox.speak. Drop respond entirely; keep compose as a standalone button via /profiles/{id}/compose. Remove /rewrite, /respond, and /speak profile endpoints.
- FloatingGenerateBox: Wand2 persona toggle + Dices compose button appear when the selected profile has a personality. ProfileCard badges Wand2 alongside the effects Sparkles.
- MCP bindings: default_intent column → default_personality: bool. Migration drops the legacy column.
- i18n: en / ja / zh-CN / zh-TW translation files filled out and wired through the capture, server, and profile UI.
```ts
voicebox.speak({
text: "Deploy complete.",
profile: "Morgan",
personality: true, // rewrite through the profile's personality LLM
});
```
The pill window now surfaces for agent-initiated speech without main-window
involvement. Rust subscribes to /events/speak via a tokio task + reqwest
streaming body (speak_monitor.rs), shows the pill, and forwards events to
the dictate webview over Tauri's event bus. The pill plays audio via a
plain HTMLAudioElement and emits dictate:hide when playback ends. The
pill stays hidden through the ~1 s generation wait and only surfaces when
audio actually starts, with the counter armed at that moment.
Fixes a shared-dict mutation in mcp_server/events.publish() that caused
the second subscriber (Rust speak_monitor) to receive `event: message`
instead of named speak-start/speak-end frames. Also teaches the speak_monitor
parser to handle CRLF framing (sse-starlette default). Main-window
AudioPlayer now skips autoplay for source in {mcp, rest} to avoid
double-play when both windows are alive.
