Character schema v2: background, dialogue_style, appearance, skills, gaze_presets
with automatic v1→v2 migration. LLM-assisted character creation via Character MCP
server. Two-tier memory system (personal per-character + general shared) with
budget-based injection into LLM system prompt. Per-character TTS voice routing via
state file — Wyoming TTS server reads active config to route between Kokoro (local)
and ElevenLabs (cloud PCM 24kHz). Dashboard: memories page, conversation history,
character profile on cards, auto-TTS engine selection from character config.
Also includes VTube Studio expression bridge and ComfyUI API guide.

- Replace faster-whisper with wyoming-mlx-whisper (whisper-large-v3-turbo, MLX Metal GPU)
STT latency: 8.4s → 400ms for short voice commands
- Add Qwen3.5-35B-A3B (MoE, 3B active params, Q8_0) to Ollama — 26.7 tok/s vs 5.4 tok/s (70B)
- Add model preload launchd service to pin voice model in VRAM permanently
- Fix HA tool calling: set commands.native=true, symlink ha-ctl to PATH
- Add pipeline benchmark script (STT/LLM/TTS latency profiling)
- Add service restart buttons and STT endpoint to dashboard
- Bind Vite dev server to 0.0.0.0 for LAN access
Total estimated pipeline latency: ~27s → ~4s
