Chat sits next to the mic in the command dock. Replies are silent and never
request the microphone; the first message connects with the selected provider
and runs the same map actions as voice through each provider's text API
(OpenAI OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL, Gemini GEMINI_CHAT_MODEL via generateContent, which
never starts Live). Only one mode runs at a time.
- Chat panel rendered by the voice control presenter: conversation, recent and
quick-command suggestions, Up/Down history, attachments (map-layer
references or small UTF-8 text files, sent only with the message)
- Chat and voice panels sit above the dock or dock into the right rail's
column; minimized bars sit centred above the dock, and height animates on
swaps
- A centred panel steps down to its bar for the Location and Visual Presets
trays without moving focus, rests above an open tray, and docks right while
expanded over one; it returns to the centre once the trays close
- Minimized voice previews the last sentence from each side; the empty Voice
Preview suggests things to say
- Settings opened from chat keep chat's frame and show the shared AI provider
and quick commands; voice Settings show Back to voice
- Closing chat ends a typed session; the voice panel's close turns voice off
- The dock widens its voice control for the chat button and restyles its
wings, which show icons only at 900px and below; assistant panels share the
left panels' glass, and Cyber keeps its own surfaces
- Server text-chat handlers with body, time and per-IP limits
(GEV_RATELIMIT_*_CHAT_PER_MIN), documented in SECURITY.md; tests and all
eleven locales

createVoiceControl now returns a presenter instead of building the
control with innerHTML: the session, cost, input, card and panel owners
write its state by part and listen for interactions, and VoiceControl.vue
renders it in the command dock, between the location bar and the visual
presets as before. Focus moves wait for the render; the waveform's bars
publish apart from the control and only when they change; the minutes
field keeps a draft until its owner writes it. Owner tests use a real
presenter on their own store, and view tests render the control.
