Live Evidence

Live Evidence lets the human stay in the conversation. It listens locally, assembles stable speaker turns, and retrieves compact evidence cards instead of generating a second conversation to read.

Operating contract

consented audio
  -> RealtimeSTT/faster-whisper
  -> stabilized/final speaker turns
  -> bounded trigger decision
  -> Memory/GMO recall + code navigation
  -> current-checkout ripgrep verification
  -> one source-bound evidence card

The default critical path is local. Graph Memory is the primary retrieval boundary. Ripgrep is an exact-current-source verifier and fallback. Brave and Dogpile are manual lanes only and receive a derived query, never the complete transcript.

Start

./run.sh setup
./run.sh ui-build
./run.sh serve --open-browser

In another terminal, after obtaining any required recording consent:

# Default microphone
./run.sh listen --mode microphone --consent-confirmed

# Meeting/system audio from a PipeWire source
./run.sh listen --mode pipewire \
  --pipewire-source '<source-name>' \
  --speaker interviewer \
  --consent-confirmed

# Browser/video audio from a PipeWire output sink
./run.sh listen --mode pipewire \
  --pipewire-source 'sink:<sink-node-name>' \
  --speaker interviewer \
  --consent-confirmed

# Two channels: default microphone + a PipeWire meeting source
./run.sh listen --mode dual \
  --pipewire-source '<source-name>' \
  --consent-confirmed

Use pw-cli list-objects Node or pactl list short sources to identify a meeting/system source. Live Evidence stores transcript and evidence JSONL, not raw audio, unless a future explicitly authorized extension changes that policy.

Retrieval precedence

1. memory /intent and /recall using supported HTTP boundaries.
2. memory/run.sh code-search and code-node for indexed source with freshness.
3. rg --fixed-strings over explicitly configured repository roots.
4. Brave Search only from the manual search control.
5. Dogpile only from an explicit deep-research request.

Never import ArangoDB or Qdrant clients here. /memory owns ArangoDB, BM25, Qdrant/Jina semantic retrieval, graph traversal, code-index lifecycle, and freshness policy.
