- Add a typed AI chat beside the voice mic in the command dock. Replies are silent and never use the microphone; messages run the same map actions as voice through OpenAI Chat Completions (`OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL`) or Gemini `generateContent` (`GEMINI_CHAT_MODEL`). Chat is throttled per IP by `GEV_RATELIMIT_OPENAI_CHAT_PER_MIN` or `GEV_RATELIMIT_GEMINI_CHAT_PER_MIN`, which default to that provider's voice throttle, and `GEV_PREFER_CODEX_OAUTH` turns OpenAI chat off. The chat and voice panels minimize to a bar or dock beside the right rail, and step aside for the Location and Visual Presets trays (Manjunath, @manjunath22466, with Darren Dignam, @darrendignam, #1507).
