# 🎉 Phase 2 - Final Updates & Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
**Date**: October 6, 2025, 11:20pm UTC+01:00
|
||||
**Status**: Phase 2 Complete with Production Improvements ✅
|
||||
**Version**: v0.2.1
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 📝 Session Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This session focused on **production hardening** of Phase 2 features, fixing critical TTS issues, implementing audio caching, and adding chat persistence with intelligent audio management.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ Completed Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. TTS Playback Fixes ✅
|
||||
**Status**: Production Ready
|
||||
**Priority**: Critical
|
||||
|
||||
#### Problem
|
||||
- ElevenLabs audio blocked in Tauri despite having Tauri-specific implementation
|
||||
- Browser TTS fallback attempted to use ElevenLabs voice IDs
|
||||
- First audio play failed due to browser autoplay policy
|
||||
|
||||
#### Solutions Implemented
|
||||
|
||||
**A. Removed Tauri WebView Block**
|
||||
- **File**: `src/lib/tts.ts`
|
||||
- **Change**: Removed lines 72-76 that prevented ElevenLabs in Tauri
|
||||
- **Impact**: ElevenLabs audio now works in Tauri using base64 data URLs
|
||||
- **Benefit**: Full ElevenLabs functionality in desktop app
|
||||
|
||||
**B. Fixed Fallback Logic**
|
||||
- **File**: `src/lib/tts.ts` (lines 75-77, 156-157)
|
||||
- **Change**: Clear ElevenLabs-specific options when falling back to browser TTS
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
return this.speakWithBrowser(text, {
|
||||
...options,
|
||||
voiceId: undefined, // Don't pass ElevenLabs voice ID
|
||||
stability: undefined, // Remove ElevenLabs param
|
||||
similarityBoost: undefined // Remove ElevenLabs param
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Impact**: Browser TTS uses system default voice instead of searching for non-existent voice
|
||||
- **Benefit**: Seamless fallback without errors
|
||||
|
||||
**C. Browser Autoplay Policy Fix**
|
||||
- **Files**: `src/lib/tts.ts` (both `playCached()` and `speakWithElevenLabs()`)
|
||||
- **Problem**: Async operations broke user interaction chain, causing `NotAllowedError`
|
||||
- **Solution**:
|
||||
1. Create `Audio` element **immediately** before async operations
|
||||
2. Set `audio.src` after loading instead of `new Audio(data)`
|
||||
3. Remove setTimeout delays
|
||||
4. Play immediately to maintain user gesture context
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Create immediately (maintains user interaction context)
|
||||
this.currentAudio = new Audio()
|
||||
this.currentAudio.volume = volume
|
||||
|
||||
// Load async...
|
||||
const audioData = await loadAudio()
|
||||
|
||||
// Set source and play immediately
|
||||
this.currentAudio.src = base64Data
|
||||
await this.currentAudio.play()
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Impact**: First play always works, no permission errors
|
||||
- **Benefit**: Reliable, consistent audio playback
|
||||
|
||||
**Technical Details**:
|
||||
- Browser autoplay policy requires `play()` to be called synchronously with user gesture
|
||||
- Creating Audio element immediately maintains the interaction context
|
||||
- Setting `src` later doesn't break the chain
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Audio Caching System ✅
|
||||
**Status**: Production Ready
|
||||
**Priority**: High
|
||||
|
||||
#### Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**A. Rust Backend Commands**
|
||||
- **File**: `src-tauri/src/main.rs`
|
||||
- **New Functions**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
save_audio_file(messageId, audioData) -> Result<String>
|
||||
load_audio_file(messageId) -> Result<Vec<u8>>
|
||||
check_audio_file(messageId) -> Result<bool>
|
||||
delete_audio_file(messageId) -> Result<()>
|
||||
delete_audio_files_batch(messageIds) -> Result<usize>
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Storage Location**: `{app_data_dir}/audio_cache/{messageId}.mp3`
|
||||
- **Platform Support**: Cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux)
|
||||
|
||||
**B. TTS Manager Integration**
|
||||
- **File**: `src/lib/tts.ts`
|
||||
- **New Methods**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
hasCachedAudio(messageId): Promise<boolean>
|
||||
playCached(messageId, volume): Promise<void>
|
||||
saveAudioToCache(messageId, audioData): Promise<void>
|
||||
loadCachedAudio(messageId): Promise<ArrayBuffer>
|
||||
deleteCachedAudio(messageId): Promise<void>
|
||||
deleteCachedAudioBatch(messageIds): Promise<number>
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Auto-Save**: ElevenLabs audio automatically cached after generation
|
||||
- **Lazy Loading**: Only loads when replay button is clicked
|
||||
|
||||
**C. UI Updates**
|
||||
- **File**: `src/components/TTSControls.tsx`
|
||||
- **New States**:
|
||||
- `hasCachedAudio` - Tracks if audio exists
|
||||
- Checks cache on mount
|
||||
- Updates after generation
|
||||
- **Button States**:
|
||||
- **No cache**: Shows speaker icon (Volume2) - "Generate audio"
|
||||
- **Has cache**: Shows two buttons:
|
||||
- Green Play button - "Replay cached audio" (instant)
|
||||
- Blue RotateCw button - "Regenerate audio" (overwrites)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Benefits
|
||||
- ✅ **Instant Playback**: Cached audio plays immediately, no API call
|
||||
- ✅ **Cost Savings**: Reduces ElevenLabs API usage for repeated messages
|
||||
- ✅ **Offline Capability**: Replay audio without internet
|
||||
- ✅ **Persistent Storage**: Audio survives app restarts
|
||||
- ✅ **User Control**: Option to regenerate or replay
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Chat Session Persistence ✅
|
||||
**Status**: Production Ready
|
||||
**Priority**: High
|
||||
|
||||
#### Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**A. ChatStore Persistence**
|
||||
- **File**: `src/stores/chatStore.ts`
|
||||
- **Changes**:
|
||||
- Added Zustand `persist` middleware
|
||||
- Storage key: `eve-chat-session`
|
||||
- Persists: messages, model, loading state
|
||||
- Does NOT persist: `lastAddedMessageId` (intentional)
|
||||
|
||||
**B. Last Added Message Tracking**
|
||||
- **File**: `src/stores/chatStore.ts`
|
||||
- **New Field**: `lastAddedMessageId: string | null`
|
||||
- **Purpose**: Track most recently added message for auto-play
|
||||
- **Lifecycle**:
|
||||
1. Set when `addMessage()` is called
|
||||
2. Cleared after 2 seconds (prevents re-trigger)
|
||||
3. NOT persisted (resets on app reload)
|
||||
4. Cleared when loading conversations
|
||||
|
||||
**C. Message Deletion with Audio Cleanup**
|
||||
- **File**: `src/stores/chatStore.ts`
|
||||
- **New Methods**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
deleteMessage(id, deleteAudio = false): Promise<void>
|
||||
clearMessages(deleteAudio = false): Promise<void>
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Confirmation Flow**:
|
||||
1. "Are you sure?" confirmation
|
||||
2. "Also delete audio?" confirmation (OK = delete, Cancel = keep)
|
||||
3. Batch deletion for multiple messages
|
||||
|
||||
**D. Conversation Store Updates**
|
||||
- **File**: `src/stores/conversationStore.ts`
|
||||
- **Updated Method**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
deleteConversation(id, deleteAudio = false): Promise<void>
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Batch Audio Deletion**: Deletes all audio files for conversation messages
|
||||
|
||||
#### Benefits
|
||||
- ✅ **Never Lose Work**: Chats persist across restarts
|
||||
- ✅ **Storage Control**: Optional audio deletion
|
||||
- ✅ **User Informed**: Clear confirmations
|
||||
- ✅ **Efficient**: Batch operations for multiple files
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Smart Auto-Play Logic ✅
|
||||
**Status**: Production Ready
|
||||
**Priority**: High
|
||||
|
||||
#### Problem
|
||||
When reopening the app, **all persisted messages** triggered auto-play, regenerating audio unnecessarily and causing chaos.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Solution
|
||||
|
||||
**A. Message ID Tracking**
|
||||
- **File**: `src/stores/chatStore.ts`
|
||||
- Track `lastAddedMessageId` (NOT persisted)
|
||||
- Only this message can auto-play
|
||||
|
||||
**B. Auto-Play Decision**
|
||||
- **File**: `src/components/ChatMessage.tsx`
|
||||
- **Logic**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const shouldAutoPlay = ttsConversationMode && message.id === lastAddedMessageId
|
||||
```
|
||||
- **Result**: Only newly generated messages auto-play
|
||||
|
||||
**C. Lifecycle Management**
|
||||
- **File**: `src/components/ChatInterface.tsx`
|
||||
- Clear `lastAddedMessageId` after 2 seconds
|
||||
- Prevents re-triggers on re-renders
|
||||
- Gives TTSControls time to mount
|
||||
|
||||
**D. Conversation Loading**
|
||||
- **File**: `src/components/ConversationList.tsx`
|
||||
- Explicitly clear `lastAddedMessageId` when loading
|
||||
- Preserves cached audio without auto-play
|
||||
|
||||
#### Behavior Matrix
|
||||
|
||||
| Scenario | Auto-Play | Uses Cache | Result |
|
||||
|----------|-----------|------------|---------|
|
||||
| New message (Audio Mode ON) | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | Generates & plays |
|
||||
| New message (Audio Mode OFF) | ❌ No | ❌ No | Generates, manual play |
|
||||
| App reload | ❌ No | ✅ Yes | Shows replay button |
|
||||
| Load conversation | ❌ No | ✅ Yes | Shows replay button |
|
||||
| Replay cached | ❌ No | ✅ Yes | Instant playback |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Benefits
|
||||
- ✅ **No Chaos**: Loaded messages never auto-play
|
||||
- ✅ **Cache First**: Uses saved audio for old messages
|
||||
- ✅ **User Control**: Manual replay for historical messages
|
||||
- ✅ **Predictable**: Clear, consistent behavior
|
||||

|
||||
- **Delete Conversation**: 2-step confirmation with audio deletion option
|
||||
- **User-Friendly**: "OK to delete, Cancel to keep" messaging
|
||||
|
||||
#### Visual Indicators

## 🎓 Lessons Learned
|
||||
|
||||
### Browser Autoplay Policy
|
||||
- **Key Insight**: Audio element must be created **synchronously** with user gesture
|
||||
- **Solution**: Create immediately, load async, set source later
|
||||
- **Impact**: Reliable playback without permission errors
|
||||
|
||||
### Cache Strategy
|
||||
- **Key Insight**: Users replay audio more than generate new
|
||||
- **Solution**: Prioritize cached audio, make regeneration explicit
|
||||
- **Impact**: Better UX, cost savings, offline capability
|
||||
|
||||
### State Persistence
|
||||
- **Key Insight**: Not everything should persist (e.g., `lastAddedMessageId`)
|
||||
- **Solution**: Selective persistence with `partialize`
|
||||
- **Impact**: Clean behavior across sessions
|
||||
|
||||
### User Confirmations
|
||||
- **Key Insight**: Destructive actions need clear options
|
||||
- **Solution**: Two-step confirmation with explicit choices
|
||||
- **Impact**: Users feel in control, fewer mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
