Typed chat sessions no longer end on the voice inactivity timeout, and a
failed or stopped reply keeps the conversation: Stop cancels only the
reply in progress, and map actions that already ran stay in the model's
context. Each upstream request and map action gets its own deadline, old
tool results shrink instead of the history overflowing, and step limits,
a missing or rejected key, the OAuth lock and throttling each get their
own message.
- Server: OpenAI chat is off under GEV_PREFER_CODEX_OAUTH; chat throttles
default to the provider's throttle; replies carry API_KEY_MISSING,
API_KEY_REJECTED, CODEX_OAUTH_REQUIRED and RATE_LIMITED codes; upstream
Retry-After passes through, and a rejected key (Gemini's invalid-key 400
included) cools down for a minute
- Pinokio forwards the chat throttle settings
- UI: the reply reveal publishes only the message list; the border orbit
runs only while busy; layers attach with a button or Enter; the log is
aria-busy while a reply types out; auto-scroll respects a reader who
scrolled up; Escape closes the attach menu; the chat gear says Settings;
a note says chat bills the OpenAI key when voice uses ChatGPT sign-in
- Layout does less work while panel height animates; unused blurs removed
- Gemini voice start ends chat; the voice preview clears on every new
session
- Tests for the route gates, client limits, attachments and the fixes
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
