Without this, Meet sees an audio track that is `live` + // but produces zero PCM during silence — some Meet builds drop the + // bot for "no audio activity" after a few seconds. Mirrors the + // camera-bridge 1px-bob keepalive in `meet_video/camera_bridge.js`. + // + // Brain PCM mixes in via `__openhumanFeedPcm` over the top — + // zero + real = real, so this does NOT mute the bot. NOT pushed into + // `activeSources`: barge-in (`__openhumanFlushAudio`) must not stop + // the keepalive. + try { + var silenceSamples = Math.max(1, Math.floor(ctx.sampleRate / 10)); // 100 ms + var silenceBuffer = ctx.createBuffer(1, silenceSamples, ctx.sampleRate); + // createBuffer initializes to zeros — no fill needed. + var silenceSource = ctx.createBufferSource(); + silenceSource.buffer = silenceBuffer; + silenceSource.loop = true; + silenceSource.connect(dest); + silenceSource.start(0); + console.log("[openhuman-audio-bridge] keepalive silence source started buffer_samples=" + silenceSamples); + } catch (e) { + // Keepalive failure is non-fatal — the bridge still functions for + // active speech. Log so support can spot it in user reports. + console.warn("[openhuman-audio-bridge] keepalive setup failed err=" + e); + } +``` + +Total new code: ~20 lines including comments. + +## Edge Cases + +| Case | Behavior | +|---|---| +| Brain speaks | Brain `BufferSource` + silence loop both connect to `dest`; sums to brain PCM (zeros don't subtract). Mascot speaking-state detector in `speak_pump.rs` is unaffected (it gates on `had_pcm` from core, not on bridge activity). | +| Barge-in (`__openhumanFlushAudio`) | Walks `activeSources`; the silence source is not in that list, so it keeps running. | +| AudioContext suspended (Chromium autoplay policy) | The bridge already handles `ctx.resume()` elsewhere on first interaction; silence source produces once resumed. Same behavior as brain PCM. | +| Meet calls `track.stop()` on the destination clone | The clone dies (Meet's track is gone), but `dest.stream` is untouched — next `getUserMedia` returns a fresh clone with both sources still attached. | +| Sample rate ≠ 16 kHz (default Chromium is 48 kHz) | `ctx.sampleRate / 10` adapts to whatever rate Chromium gave us. | +| Setup throws (e.g., AudioContext closed mid-construction) | `try/catch` swallows + warns. Bridge still functions for speech. | + +## Risk & Rollback + +**If the hypothesis is wrong** — bot still drops at ~5 s. The fix is invisible; we've spent ~20 lines of code to learn DTX is in play. Next step: ship PR-B (watchdog) so the drop is surfaced in production telemetry, then escalate to a comfort-noise variant (-60 dB low-amplitude noise) which bypasses DTX. + +**If the hypothesis is right** — bot stays joined. Closes 2 more acceptance criteria of #2945 ("Agent stays joined", "Rejoin state resolves *successfully*"). PR-B (watchdog) still useful to detect drops from OTHER causes. + +**Rollback:** revert the single audio_bridge.js commit. Zero state, zero migration, behavior returns to prior immediately. No data loss. + +**Risk of making things worse:** very low. +- The keepalive only adds energy; it doesn't change track lifecycle, doesn't intercept getUserMedia differently, doesn't affect the speak_pump, the caption listener, the camera bridge, or any RPC. +- If WebAudio is broken in some Chromium build, the `try/catch` keeps the bridge functional for active speech. +- No new permissions, no new dependencies. + +## Testing + +### Automated + +**Rust static regex test.** A new test in `app/src-tauri/src/meet_audio/audio_bridge_tests.rs` (sibling-test pattern) that loads `audio_bridge.js` as `include_str!` and asserts the keepalive code block is present (looks for the literal substrings `keepalive silence source started` and `silenceSource.start(0)`). Guards against accidental deletion in future refactors. ~10 lines. + +Note: this is a **presence test**, not a behavior test. The keepalive's correctness lives in the Chromium WebAudio runtime; even a Vitest test with mocked AudioContext would just verify the mock returns what we expect. The presence regex is honest about what it's testing. + +### Manual (recorded in PR body) + +1. Run `pnpm dev:app`, open Skills → Meeting Bots, join a real Google Meet call. +2. Confirm the bot stays in the call for ≥60 s without dropping. +3. Open Meet's `chrome://webrtc-internals/`, find the outbound audio track for our bot, confirm `bytesSent` is monotonically increasing during silence (not stuck at zero). +4. Trigger a brain reply (say the wake word + a question); confirm speech still plays correctly — the keepalive doesn't mute live PCM. +5. Trigger barge-in (start a new question mid-reply); confirm in-flight brain audio still cuts. + +### E2E + +Real Meet failure modes can't be reproduced in CI. PR body explicitly defers, same justification as PR #3321. + +### Coverage gate + +The diff is ~20 JS lines (uncovered by `cargo-llvm-cov`) + ~10 Rust regex test lines (fully covered by itself). Effect on the 80% diff-coverage gate: positive (small denominator, fully covered). + +## Out of Scope (PR-B and beyond) + +- **Post-admission watchdog** — poll for the "Leave call" affordance every 5 s; on disappearance, emit a new `dropped_post_admission` ReasonCode via PR #3321's `meet-call:failed` event channel. Requires #3321 to merge first (because the ReasonCode enum lives there). Will be a separate PR with its own brainstorm. +- **Comfort-noise escalation** — if PR-A's pure-zero keepalive doesn't fix the drop (DTX suppression), swap the zero buffer for a -60 dB pseudo-random noise buffer. Trivial follow-up. +- **Stop-session race fix** — the Sentry `TAURI-RUST-8TM` "no session" cascade (4 065 events) is a separate bug where shell-side pumps keep pushing after core stops the session. Different cause, different fix. Filed separately if PR-A doesn't already address it as a side-effect. +- **Real Meet E2E coverage** — needs a mock-Meet harness; no PR can sensibly add it today. + +## Acceptance Criteria (this PR) + +- `audio_bridge.js` `ensureContext()` installs a permanent looping zero-source connected to `dest`, not tracked in `activeSources`. +- Setup is wrapped in `try/catch` and degrades gracefully. +- Rust static regex test in `app/src-tauri/src/meet_audio/` asserts the keepalive code is present in the shipped JS. +- Manual verification steps recorded in PR body confirm: bot stays joined ≥60 s, `bytesSent` monotonic during silence, brain speech still plays, barge-in still works. +- PR body explicitly defers real E2E with rationale. +- PR body explicitly notes this is PR-A of a two-PR split; PR-B (watchdog) is a follow-up.
