 Voice action argument schemas have one portable owner under `src/voice/actionSchemas.js`. The Realtime provider builds 30 tools using separate description-only metadata. Description customization cannot replace argument types, enum values or required fields.
 
+`createGevActionRunner` routes `control_cctv` enable/disable through the shared
+layer visibility lifecycle. Results distinguish successful changes from
+manager-reported failures or cancellation and report enabled state and lifecycle
+uncertainty. A caller-supplied abort signal reaches the manager; a late abort
+preserves an already committed change. Missing-layer errors and other CCTV
+actions retain their existing behavior. The exported `controlCctv` helper refuses direct
+enable/disable requests and directs callers to `set_layer_visibility`.
+
 `src/voice/layerManifest.js` declares each catalog layer's voice capabilities: spoken aliases, `toggle`, in-view `context`, `track`, and analyst `query` fields with type and unit, or `noQuery` with the reason. The `set_layer_visibility`, `show_data_layers_menu`, `get_entity_context` and `analyst_query` layer enums, the runner's alias table and the analyst field hints are generated from it. `src/voice/layerManifest.test.mjs` fails when a catalog layer is neither listed nor named in `VOICE_OFF_LAYERS` (today only the two scene-driven Bhote Koshi layers). Global Context is listed with `toggle: false`; `set_context_mode` reaches it. `set_panel_open` also opens `weather-panel` and `recent-imagery-panel`.
 
 Portable source exports provide Radio Browser station normalization, CCTV feed types and regional records independently of HTTP middleware. Radio normalization accepts an explicit URL policy; the standalone directory retains its existing HTTPS rules. Tile coordinate validation accepts explicit zoom bounds with unchanged traffic defaults. Cache, request and rendering owners remain unchanged.
