Manjunath ecaddd838b Merge feat/voice-geometry onto main
Both stack parents (#837, #842) are on main, so the voice geometry branch
now builds on main directly. Conflict resolutions keep main's behaviour and
add the geometry work on top: osm_query gating on every provider, restored
admin identity for Nominatim outlines, merged analyst follow-up memory, and
the cancelled Globe View reset instruction ahead of the generic cancellation.

Realtime voice ownership

realtimeController.js composes the session and owns its status, UI bindings and overall lifetime. It coordinates startup and shutdown. realtimeFacade.js preserves existing methods and properties by delegation, without copying state. The session adapter, action runner and backend interfaces remain unchanged.

Owner State and responsibility
realtimeConnection.js Start generation, request cancellation, peer/data channel, acquired microphone stream and playback element
realtimeBackend.js Token and SDP requests, their separate transports, the abort/timeout scope around both, and client-secret expiry
realtimeTurns.js Active and superseded responses, pending confirmations, deduplicated calls and action cancellation
realtimeRadio.js Speaker ducking, prepared playback, stronger-action reservations and playback observers
realtimeInput.js Physical Space gesture, microphone mute, input/output meters and their frame/listener lifetime
realtimeCost.js Next-session preferences and the current session's model-bound meter
realtimeViewport.js One retained image, bounded deletion identities and capture generation
realtimeDiagnostics.js Bounded error history and sanitized optional diagnostics
turnMetrics.js Per-turn latency and speech spans written to the debug log
narration.js Progress lines and the earcon while tools run; spoken through the turns owner
pointerContext.js Pointer position, dwell pick and the current turn's pointer snapshot (session-scoped)
referents.js Numbered items from the latest result for referent:n (session-scoped)
resultDisplay.js What the voice card shows for a result and which items it numbers (read by the card and referents.js)
gevActions.js runner Area handles (page lifetime); analyst follow-up memory (session: resetConversation() on stop, dispose() on removal)

The backend is replaceable per deployment: realtimeController.js accepts it as a backend option and falls back to createRealtimeBackend(). Its two method signatures live with application construction; what belongs here is the ownership. The connection is the backend's only consumer in the application. The connection reads credential metadata for diagnostics and cost accounting, then passes the complete credential unchanged to negotiate. Client-secret expiry is refused inside the backend, not by the connection. realtimeOwners.test.mjs drives whole sessions through a substitute that implements only those two methods.

Pure input policy, preferences and protocol-response policy have separate modules. Owners receive named readers, operations or focused collaborators. Cross-owner cancellation uses operations; response handling does not own Radio's reservations or viewport deletion bookkeeping.

Shutdown first invalidates acquisition and action work, then closes transport, stops audio analysis, releases media and clears conversation/input state. Full removal also detaches UI, keyboard, annotation and Radio observers. Radio takeover retains confirmed playback through that same shutdown path. A late offer, peer callback, viewport capture or cancelled meter frame cannot enter a replacement session. Action and post-capture continuations retain their conversation identity before publishing output, queueing a response or changing status.

Behavioral invariants remain in force: a 500 ms Space hold claims push-to-talk; short control taps and text entry remain native; a claimed hold while the assistant speaks interrupts it (never during a Radio handoff); a click-started session stays open-mic. Every accepted or refused tool call receives its terminal output once. New typed input supersedes old intent. Radio waits for the spoken confirmation and verified muted playback. A live cost meter stays bound to its negotiated model, even when the next-session preference changes.

Run the unit suite and both live recorded-audio modes against a configured local server:

node scripts/qa-voice-wav.mjs http://localhost:4173
node scripts/qa-voice-wav.mjs http://localhost:4173 --push-to-talk

The second mode uses the actual Space shortcut, verifies microphone acquisition and release, and checks the same globe/Radio outcome. Tracking and scene-control acceptance exercise voice's shared application operations separately.
