pierreandLetta Code 5b050c09e3 Worker thread + tray icon repaint fix
- processUtterance runs on a detached std.Thread; Qt event loop stays
  responsive during whisper/letta/melo (icon repaints, menu works)
- setState marshals to main thread via threading.async with thread-id check
- rapid double-click race guarded: state claimed before spawn
- icon: QPainter-drawn antialiased circle (dark rim, transparent bg) —
  bare pixmap.fill rendered blank on the KDE SNI host
- new qt libs: qbrush, qpainter, qrect, qt6zigthreading

inferon

Voice interface daemon for Letta Code agents. Lives in your system tray; click to talk, click to send — your speech is transcribed, sent to an agent, and the reply is spoken back.

name: inference + infernal + inferon (a particle), with symbolic inference planned for later.

Pipeline

tray click → pw-record (16kHz mono WAV)
           → whisper.cpp server (spawned & owned by inferon, :50153)
           → letta CLI (agent conversation, multi-turn)
           → MeloTTS (melo_server.py subprocess, British English voice)
           → pw-play

All backends are subprocesses owned by inferon: they die when it dies (tray quit, SIGINT, SIGTERM — signal handlers included).

Requirements

  • Zig 0.16
  • Qt 6 (qt6-base) + GCC toolchain
  • PipeWire (pw-record, pw-play)
  • whisper.cpp built with whisper-server (defaults expect ~/Projects/whisper.cpp, large-v3-turbo q5_0)
  • letta CLI on PATH, logged in
  • Python 3.11 (via uv) for MeloTTS

Setup

./setup.sh          # clones MeloTTS, builds venv, downloads checkpoint
zig build
zig-out/bin/inferon

Paths (whisper binary/model, MeloTTS root, agent ID) are constants at the top of src/whisper.zig, src/melo.zig, scripts/melo_server.py, and src/main.zig.

Usage

  • Left-click: start / stop recording. After you stop, the pipeline runs: transcribe → agent → spoken reply → idle.
  • Right-click → End conversation / Quit: menu.
  • Tray dot color = state: grey idle · red recording · orange transcribing · blue thinking · green speaking · magenta backend error.

Temp audio lives in /tmp/inferon/ and is cleaned up as it's consumed (logs stay).
