Show HN: Jauvex, one app for Claude+Codex+Grok+Jev with two-way voice chat

Reindent released Jauvex Personal 1.1, an Apache License 2.0 Electron desktop app for macOS that runs Claude Code, Codex and Grok Build coding-agent sessions side by side with two-way voice chat, installed via a single curl command that builds the app locally from source. The app requires Node 22.18 or newer and at least one signed-in Claude or Codex account, keeps sessions where Claude Code and Codex store them, and self-updates by polling jauvex.reindent.com's /api/personal/version at launch and every six hours.

Your coding agents, side by side, by voice. Claude, Codex and Grok in one desktop app, with Jev TypeSafe for the fast decisions. Jauvex Personal, version 1.1, for macOS; Apache License 2.0. Source: github.com/reindent/jauvex https://github.com/reindent/jauvex ; site: jauvex.reindent.com https://jauvex.reindent.com . Made by Reindent one human and agents . Jauvex is an Electron client for the Claude Code, Codex and Grok Build sessions on your Mac. Add a folder, pick up any of its sessions or start new ones with either provider, and talk to them: a voice channel that answers in three beats a quick word, what it understood, a summary of the agent's answer , steers a working agent without interrupting it, names and starts agents by voice, and lets agents talk to each other inside the app. No server: the window talks to the main process over IPC, and your sessions stay where Claude Code and Codex keep them. One command in Terminal: curl -fsSL https://jauvex.reindent.com/install | sh It needs Node 22.18 or newer. It downloads this source, checks its SHA-256 and builds Jauvex on your Mac: nothing prebuilt is downloaded, so there is nothing for Apple to notarize. Jauvex lands in Applications ~/Applications when /Applications is not writable , a real app with its own name, icon and microphone permission; the source and the build stay in ~/.jauvex/personal/app . Run the command again to update, with Jauvex closed, or let Jauvex do it: it asks jauvex.reindent.com which version is the latest /api/personal/version , at launch and every six hours, and when a newer one is out the sidebar's footer says so "1.2.0 is out" and the Jauvex agent asks you, once per version, whether to update now. On a yes or "update the app" at any time it runs node scripts/jauvex.ts update : refused while other agents work --now on your word ; otherwise the app fetches the same install command, checks that it installs the version offered, leaves it and a small runner in ~/.jauvex/personal/update/ , hands the runner to launchd and quits. The runner waits for the app to exit, runs the install command it rebuilds the app on your Mac and opens it , opens the old app again if it does not finish, and removes it; its log is update/update.log . Only the app the install command made updates itself; a clone updates with git T-165 . To remove it, quit it and delete Jauvex.app and ~/.jauvex/personal/app ; its settings stay in ~/.jauvex/personal . To work on the code, clone this repository instead: npm start runs it from the clone, and npm run app makes the same app in tmp/mac-app/Jauvex.app scripts/mac-app.ts : Electron's app renamed Jauvex, with the built app, the Whisper models, Claude and Codex inside, signed ad hoc on your Mac . Jauvex needs a few things that are not in this repository; the install command and npm start take care of most of them. The welcome screen on the first start, and from Jauvex settings after checks each of them and tells you what is missing. 1. Node 22.18 or newer it runs the TypeScript scripts and checks as they are , then npm install in this folder it also fetches the Electron binary; if the app ever says Electron.app does not exist , run npx install-electron . 2. Claude or Codex, signed in: at least one is a must. Both binaries come with npm install the Claude Agent SDK brings Claude Code, @openai/codex brings Codex , and Jauvex uses the account each one is signed in to on this Mac. You sign in with their own command lines, in Terminal: claude auth login Claude Code; to install it, curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash or codex login Codex; brew install codex . Jauvex signs no one in itself: Anthropic does not let apps built on its Agent SDK offer the Claude.ai login. The welcome screen and the accounts panel the Jauvex button below the sidebar say who is signed in and give the command; with one signed in, the Jauvex agent can walk you through the other. 3. Grok, optional : Grok Build, xAI's coding agent, when it is on this Mac curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash , then grok login . Jauvex runs it as grok agent stdio with your Grok account and settings; without it, Grok is simply not offered. 4. whisper.cpp for the ears : npm start installs it with Homebrew if it is missing and downloads the two models into models/ git-ignored : ggml-small-q5 1.bin for the transcript and ggml-base-q5 1.bin for the live words while you speak. Each is checked against the size and SHA-256 Hugging Face lists for it scripts/models.sh : a download goes to a .part file and becomes the model once it is whole, so one cut short is downloaded again the next time, never taken for done. Other models from huggingface.co/ggerganov/whisper.cpp can be dropped in the same folder and picked in the voice settings ggml-large-v3-turbo-q5 0.bin , 574 MB, hears better and is still quick on Apple silicon . Without Whisper you can still type. 5. A TypeSafe key for Jev , optional: in TYPESAFE API KEY or the file ~/.typesafe/token , the key alone the way Hugging Face keeps its token; the older ~/.typesafe/jev still works . Without it the small voice model makes the decisions Jev would make, a little more slowly. 6. The microphone : macOS asks the first time voice mode is switched on. 7. The voice is macOS's System voice, through say . On a fresh Mac that is the basic Samantha, which sounds robotic: pick a Siri voice in System Settings Accessibility Spoken Content System voice. An app cannot choose a Siri voice by itself say -v falls back to Samantha ; only that setting reaches them. The welcome screen checks this and has a button that opens the pane. npm start builds, then launches through macOS LaunchServices start.sh npm run dev Vite + Electron with reload, for working on the UI Put the folder somewhere plain, such as ~/Coding/jauvex : macOS protects Documents, Desktop, Downloads and iCloud Drive, and an app started there cannot read its own files until it has been granted access npm start then starts it from the terminal instead, which works but attributes the permission prompts to the terminal . Only one copy may run at a time the app holds a lock; a second launch focuses the first . It keeps its own state in its data folder, ~/.jauvex/personal every copy, run from source or compiled; data/ below means that folder; CVC DATA DIR moves it , and uses ports 4340 Vite, dev only and 4341 whisper-server , plus 4342 for the live words Pro uses 4320 to 4322, so both can run side by side . Jauvex is built on your Mac from this source: npm start runs it from the Electron binary in node modules , the install command as Jauvex.app. - Add folder : native folder dialog. Each folder is a project, like in Claude Code. - + on a project : lists every Claude, Codex and Grok session recorded for that folder title, first prompt, provider, branch, size, last activity , with a switch to see all, only Claude's or only Codex's with counts and each provider's mark on its rows. Tick the ones you want; they appear under the project in the sidebar. - Folders fold, the sidebar resizes : a click on a folder's name its folder icon open or closed folds its sessions away, and it stays folded after a reload. The sidebar's right edge drags to any width from 220 to 560 px, kept too. - Only a signed-in provider can be chosen : a provider that is not signed in on this Mac is greyed out, with the reason, in the provider selector, in the Jauvex agent's move selector and in the default-agent setting; a new session never starts on one. - What agents are told about the thread : it is plain markdown, so no LaTeX formulas and matrices as plain text or a code block , no Mermaid or other diagram languages plain-text drawings in a code block , no raw HTML, local files as paths in backticks rather than links, images as markdown images. Terminal colour codes in tool output are stripped. - A provider's failure is an error, not an answer : a turn that fails, or an answer that is the provider's own failure text an organisation that disabled subscription access, an allowance run out, a network error , shows as a red card in the thread, and the voice says one line about it instead of summing it up. - One provider per session, for life : a session imported from Claude continues with Claude, one imported from Codex continues with Codex, one from Grok with Grok each session row carries its provider's own tiny mark, Claude's, OpenAI's or Grok's, and a Jev agent row TypeSafe's; the title bar has a chip. The marks are their owners' trademarks, used only to say whose session it is: the first three from @lobehub/icons-static-svg , MIT; TypeSafe's is its site icon, assets/typesafe.png . A new session lets you pick the provider in the composer until the first message is sent; the model and effort pickers follow the provider effort: Claude's fixed levels, or the levels Codex or Grok reports for the chosen model; applies from the next message Codex models come from your account through model/list , Grok's from its agent's model list . - Open a session : the conversation loads. User messages as bubbles, Claude's replies as text, tool calls and thinking folded into one-line rows you can expand a Codex call shows the moment it starts and gets its result when it completes , harness plumbing reminders, tool results, cross-session messages hidden unless you toggle the eye icon. Long sessions page from the end "Load earlier messages" . - The Jauvex agent : one session that always exists, pinned at the top of the sidebar, with the app's own folder as its project and a briefing about the app itself. It is the entry point for everything about the app: restart it, update it git pull , build, relaunch, on request , install what is missing, explain how it works, create agents and add folders through the app's command line, below , and develop it for contributors. Every other agent is told it exists and to send it what concerns running the app, and that the app's code is theirs to work on too when the user asks and the source is in their folder a Codex agent made a development agent once refused to read it, told that anything about the app was the Jauvex agent's . It runs on the default agent, keeps one session for life ui.jauvexSession , and can be hidden in Jauvex settings it still exists and still answers other agents . It moves between providers with its whole context the only session that does, for now : the app keeps its own transcript of it data/jauvex-transcript.json , user and assistant text only , the provider selector in its composer stays live, and the first message after a move carries the conversation so far as a prelude to a fresh session on the other provider, so Claude and Codex pick up where the other left off. Moving back works the same way. The thread shows the app's transcript, tool calls and results included results trimmed , with a note at every move. A move ends voice mode the voice engine and its acknowledgment model belong to the provider it started with : start it again when you like. Two ways to move, asked on the welcome when both providers are signed in and changeable in Jauvex settings: unified the default, experimental: the app replays the whole conversation, and more can break or handover the leaving assistant writes a handover note in a visible turn, saved as data/jauvex-handover.md too, and the next provider starts from that note: cheaper on long histories, and the note says what mattered . - The app's command line node scripts/jauvex.ts <command , in the install folder : every action in the app, for agents, the Jauvex agent above all. list folders, sessions, agents, ids , add-folder , pick-folder the folder dialog for the user; what they choose is added , new-agent provider, folder, name, purpose, first message; unnamed, the provider is the Jauvex agent's own; with no first message it starts with its own introduction, since an agent exists once it has had one: on 2026-09-24 one ordered without it was an empty chat that vanished , open a session, or the Jauvex agent, on screen; a session not in its folder's sidebar goes in it too: shown only as an open chat, seven sessions an agent opened dropped out one by one as other chats took the eight open places, T-152, the user, 2026-09-26 , import a folder's existing sessions into its sidebar without opening them, as its search button does; with no session named, the ones not listed yet: T-150, the user, 2026-09-26, after an agent asked to import sessions opened them over the chat he was in , send a message into a session , rename , settings default agent, Jauvex row, welcome next time , welcome , reload , restart . It writes a request file in data/commands/ , the running app does the thing and answers in a result file, the script prints the JSON. Nothing but files: no port, no server. - Default agent : the provider new sessions and the Jauvex agent start with. Asked on the welcome screen when both Claude and Codex are signed in Start waits for the answer ; set automatically when only one is; changeable in Jauvex settings. - The right pane. A file or a link an agent shows a markdown link, a path, a URL opens in a pane on the right of the chat, never in the window itself: markdown rendered, text and code as they are, images shown, PDFs and web pages framed in a <webview of their own that starts muted and stays muted and opens no windows. The pane has an "open outside" button the Mac for files, the browser for pages , a close button, and a draggable width that is remembered. A navigation the app did not catch a link in a place it does not watch is stopped in the main process and sent to the pane too. Later the same pane takes terminals and browsers. Relative paths resolve against the session's folder. - Images an agent shows a markdown image with a local path, relative to its folder or absolute load from the file and never overflow the thread at most the thread's width and 60% of the window's height . - Images in a message : paste a screenshot from the clipboard into the composer, drop image files on it, or pick them with the clip. They show as thumbnails until sent and in the thread after. Claude gets them inline; Codex gets each as a file under data/uploads/ . Typed while a turn runs, they queue with their text: each queued bubble keeps the images pasted with it shown as thumbnails , goes out with them when the turn ends or when its Send now hands it to the running turn, and the sent bubble shows them. An image never rides along with another queued message. PNG, JPEG, GIF and WebP. - Sessions keep working when you look elsewhere : every chat you open stays mounted in the background up to eight; idle ones make room, a working one never does . Opening another session or agent does not stop or lose the running turn, its row in the sidebar shows the moving mark while it works, and the answer is there when you come back. The microphone stays with the session it was started in its orb waits at the bottom of the sidebar, see Voice . - Jev agents when a TypeSafe key is on this Mac : pick "Jev agent" in a new session's provider menu. It is not a chat, it follows Jev's own shape. Left, split in two: the state on top text or JSON and the questions below JSON: noul yes/no, choice , score . Right: the output , each answer with its probabilities as bars, the confidence, the model, milliseconds and tokens; "Raw JSON" shows the reply as it came. Evaluate or Cmd+Enter. Edits save themselves, the last 20 runs stay one click away, and the agent lives in the sidebar filled dot with rename and delete. Jev stores nothing, so agents and runs are kept in data/state.json . A new agent starts with a working example. Trainer optional : Jev cannot be talked to, so an agent can be coupled with Claude or Codex "Trainer" next to Evaluate . A chat panel opens under the pad, with everything a chat has here: text, voice, models, effort, permissions. The trainer sees the state, the questions and the last output with every message, and changes the agent by answering with jev-state , jev-questions and jev-evaluate blocks, which the app applies and runs; it is shown the result twice at most per request so it can adjust. Its session stays out of the sidebar. The agent is a reusable classifier: the questions stay, the state changes. - Secondary click on a session in the sidebar opens its menu: Rename, Copy session ID, Remove from sidebar nothing is deleted: the session stays with its provider and comes back with + . - Each session remembers its own composer : model, effort and permissions are kept per session and per Jev agent's trainer in data/state.json and come back with it, across restarts. A new session starts from the last choices made anywhere. - Rename a session : that menu, the pencil next to its name in the title bar, or double-click the name there or in the sidebar. Enter saves, Escape cancels. The name is written where the provider keeps it renameSession for Claude, a custom-title entry in the session file; thread/name/set for Codex , so Claude Code and Codex show the same name. - Chat : type in any session and Claude continues it same login, settings, CLAUDE.md and tools as Claude Code, through the Agent SDK's query { resume } . Replies stream in; Stop interrupts; the pencil icon on a project starts a new session in that folder; the model picker applies to the next message. Tools that need permission show an Allow once / Always / Deny card in the thread, or pick Auto permissions in the composer: Claude's permission classifier permissionMode: 'auto' or Codex's automatic reviewer approvalsReviewer: 'auto review' decides, and only what it will not decide reaches you. Applies from the next message. YOLO — full access asked for 2026-09-26 runs tools with no permission prompt and no provider sandbox: Claude's bypassPermissions with its required opt-in, Codex's never approvals with dangerFullAccess , Grok's yoloMode . Agents can then use everything this account can reach; it grants no administrator access, and the operating system's own limits still apply. Provider permissions Jauvex settings › Safety, or settings --permission-provider claude --permission-mode yolo on the command line set Ask, Auto or YOLO for every session of one provider, from each session's next turn; the composer then shows that mode, locked; "Use session setting" --permission-mode session gives the choice back to each composer. Leaving YOLO gives Codex back the approvals and sandbox the thread had before it, a read-only one included, kept in the state across restarts. Codex sessions work the same way: replies stream, Stop interrupts the turn, and when Codex asks before running a command or writing files, the same card appears Always = for the rest of the session . Approval policy and sandbox are whatever your Codex config says, the way the Claude side keeps Claude Code's settings, except in YOLO. Grok sessions work the same way too: replies stream, Stop cancels the turn, and when Grok asks before a tool its permission rules do not allow already, the same card appears Always = Grok's own "don't ask again" . The rest is Grok's own permission rules; the app says the mode every time a session is opened Ask, Auto permissions , Grok's automatic mode, or YOLO , so a Grok set to always approve still asks in Ask, and a new mode closes and reopens a loaded session to take it. A message handed to a working Grok is read at its next step x.ai/interject ; one handed over after its last step Grok runs as a prompt of its own, and the turn stays open until that one is answered too, so its answer is not lost. A picture Grok makes its imagine tool shows under the tool's row, and the answer's link to it points at the file Grok saved in its own session folder: Grok writes it relative to that folder images/1.jpg , which read against the project's folder was a broken image. Press the white round button in the message box. All local except the two Claude calls: - The app's name, however it is heard : speech-to-text writes it Jovex, Javex, Jauvix, Claudex, Jobex and worse; every transcript says Jauvex a saved vocabulary that still had the old name is corrected too . - Ears : whisper.cpp brew install whisper-cpp , kept warm as whisper-server . Put a model in models/ ignored by git : curl -L -o models/ggml-small-q5 1.bin https://huggingface.co/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/resolve/main/ggml-small-q5 1.bin 190 MB, about 0.4 s per utterance on Apple Silicon . Transcription starts the moment you go quiet, so the text is ready when your pause ends. When whisper-server cannot start, the app says why within a second, on the welcome screen and under the orb: a model it cannot load named, with the command that downloads it again or a port another program holds named, with that program . whisper-server prints its error and then, on the Mac's GPU, a crash backtrace as it exits; the app reads the error, and the flight recorder keeps all it printed. The welcome calls Whisper ready only once its server answers. - Transcription settings voice settings : which Whisper model in models/ to use Automatic = the fastest , and "Names it should know". The names, plus the open folder's name, go to whisper-server as its initial prompt at start-up the per-request prompt field is ignored by the server , so changing either restarts it. Measured on this Mac with test phrases: small without names heard "Clothex / Cotex / Reigned-in"; small with names got every name right in about 0.55 s; large-v3-turbo took about 2.2 s and still missed them. Whisper's ghosts are dropped: handed a knock or room noise it writes real phrases "Thank you." , so a transcript is discarded when Whisper itself was unsure very low confidence, a known ghost phrase at low confidence, or a no-speech probability over 0.6 on text that is short or doubtful: a real sentence Whisper was sure of is never dropped on that score alone, a short greeting once scored 0.74 with every word right ; a clearly spoken "thank you" still goes through, the debugger shows every drop and why, and a dropped sentence of three words or more leaves a note under the composer instead of vanishing. The closing pause is trimmed before transcription, and every dictated message reaches the main model tagged voice transcript T-76: in the turn, when steered, from the queue, and on a resend; the window never shows the tag , while a message typed with voice mode on goes untagged: the briefing tells the model a tagged message is a transcript, to repair names and odd words, and to ask in one line when a word does not fit. - The big model's answer stays on screen in full and is never read aloud. A small model Haiku by default is the voice: it acknowledges and restates what you asked while the selected model thinks, and when the answer lands it says what happened in one to three sentences. A short plain answer is spoken as it is. - Mouth : macOS say the system voice by default , rendered per utterance and played inside the app, so it can fade out instantly and the echo canceller knows what the speakers are playing. - Interrupting, two channels : start talking and the voice stops playback fades in 120 ms, pending say renders are killed and it never talks over you. The main thread is not touched : it keeps working, and its answer is still summed up when it lands. What you type Enter while it is busy shows up as a dashed "Queued" bubble and is sent by itself the moment the turn ends; what you say is steered into the running turn next point . The voice also weighs what you meant: a clear "stop, cancel that" interrupts the main thread "I'll take care of that right away" , and "not that, do X instead" interrupts it and sends X next. In doubt it queues; work is never stopped on a guess. A short utterance with a stop word "stop", "cancel that", "para" never waits for that judgement: it interrupts the main thread straight from the transcript, already from the speculative one taken 240 ms into your pause. Otherwise only the Stop button interrupts the main thread. Tapping the orb also shuts the voice up. - "Restart the app" said or typed while voice mode is on makes the app relaunch itself with the build on disk. - "Reload the interface" / "soft restart" said or typed while voice mode is on : the window alone reloads the UI build on disk; the main process, Whisper, the voice helper and every running turn stay. The reloaded window asks the main process which turns are still running and takes them back under their ids, so an answer in flight lands where it should. For a change to colours, layout or any window code, npx vite build and this is enough; a change to electron/ or shared/ still needs the full restart. - One copy, always : only one Jauvex may run per data folder. A second launch exits at once, before it opens a window or touches a session, and brings the running copy to the front. Two copies would drive the same sessions a resumed session forks, work is done twice, data/state.json is overwritten . - Agents talk to agents, through the app. No provider tool, no protocol between Claude and Codex: the app already sees every reply and can reach every session. An agent writes a fenced block in its reply: message-agent Notes What is the code word of the day? When its turn ends the app delivers the text to that session, tagged from agent "Sender" id : steered into the running turn if that agent is working, sent as a new turn otherwise the session is mounted in the background if it was not open . Whatever the other agent replies comes back to the sender by itself, tagged the same way, so an explicit message is a question and no block is needed to answer it; an answer does not bounce back again, so two agents cannot ping-pong on their own and the app stops relaying after 30 agent-to-agent messages in ten minutes . A reply that goes back to its sender leaves out the blocks it addressed to other agents they went to them and says who else was written to. A Claude agent that left a background job running a shell command in the background, a monitor used to swallow the next message: its next turn answers only the job's "stopped" notice, empty, in under a second, which read as "the third message between agents fails". A Claude turn that ends like that sends its message again, once, with its reply address; and every agent is told not to start background work from a turn. This block is the only channel between the app's agents, in both directions, Claude to Codex and Codex to Claude; the briefing says so plainly, and that the harness's own agent tools, chat skills and shared files never reach them a Claude agent once set up a file-based chat protocol instead . A Claude session also gets the same channel as two tools of its own, mcp jauvex message agent and mcp jauvex list agents an in-process MCP server from the Agent SDK, answered by the window's router, never asking permission , for the models that look for a tool when told "talk to X". Agents are addressed by name title or summary or by the short id in brackets, which never changes 6 characters, longer only where two ids share their start, as Codex ids often do ; a fenced list-agents block gets the roster back name, id, provider, folder, working or idle . The Jauvex agent is listed once, as "Jauvex", whatever its past sessions across providers, and always, its chat open or not T-151, the user, 2026-09-26: an agent that wanted to report a bug to it found three "Jauvex …" agents and not it, since it was listed only while its chat was open : a message to it opens its own chat in the background, with its session, or starts one; with no session yet, its folder's id stands in for its id; a session with no name of its own is shown by its first message, cut at 60 characters. Every exchange shows in both threads, marked "From agent X", and in the voice log. The briefing tells every agent all of this. - Every agent is told where it is running. A blank session knows nothing about this app, so each one, on either provider, new or resumed, gets a short briefing clientBriefing in shared/types.ts ; appended to Claude's system prompt, sent as Codex's developer instructions : several agents side by side, messages that arrive mid-turn are new information to fold in not a restart , the full answer is on screen while a separate small model speaks a short version so: conclusion first, short plain answers for simple questions , a turn can be stopped at any moment, and in voice mode the text is dictated. It names no product, so a rename does not touch it. - Accounts click the footer of the sidebar : who each provider is signed in as, and the command that signs it in or out in Terminal claude auth login|logout , codex login|logout , grok login|logout ; Refresh after using it. The app has no login of its own: it uses the sign-in of each provider's own tool on this Mac Claude: claude auth status on the SDK's bundled binary; Codex: the app-server's account/read ; Grok: its agent's x.ai/auth/info . Signing in, out and switching from inside the app is built the provider's browser flow, run from the panel and the welcome but hidden in this edition SIGN IN IN APP in shared/types.ts , since 2026-09-24 : Anthropic does not let apps built on its Agent SDK offer the Claude.ai login. Sessions are files on this Mac and stay whichever account is signed in; a running turn keeps the old account until it ends tests/window/sign-in-by-cli.test.ts . - Usage battery : next to the composer's controls, a small battery shows how much of the session's provider plan is left: green above 40 %, amber to 15 %, red below. It shows the tightest window that applies Claude: 5 hours, 7 days, and a model's own weekly window only when that model is the one in use; Codex: its ordinary limit, and a model's own extra limit only when that model is in use; Grok: its plan's credits for the week or month, or its on-demand spending once those are used up . A click opens the panel T-98 : one tab per provider signed in, this chat's provider selected, each tab with what is left of it at a glance; in a tab, every window, how much is left and used, and when it resets counted down, and on the clock , with the plan, Claude's extra usage, Codex's credits, Grok's on-demand spending and bought credits; a model's own window Claude's Fable week; a Codex model's extra limit, which Codex names after the model and, in its own status, counts only for that model is greyed in a chat on another model. Refreshed every minute while the window is visible, after each turn, and with the panel's Refresh; a refresh keeps what is shown until the new answer is in. When usage is not available for the account an organisation plan, no allowance , the battery is a steady outline with "n/a" and the reason in its tooltip, never a flicker. Claude's numbers are the data behind /usage the SDK's experimental usage request, asked of a short-lived idle process: nothing is sent to a model ; Codex's come from account/rateLimits/read , Grok's from its agent's x.ai/billing . Only percentages, reset times, the plan's name, extra usage and the credits balance are read, never account IDs. - Context meter T-74 : next to the battery, sheets piling up in a small tray show how full the session's context is: one flat sheet per fifth of the model's window an empty tray at 0 % , white, yellow from 50 %, red from 80 %, with the percentage. Claude's number is what the last request carried input, cache writes and cache reads, as Anthropic's status line counts it against the model's window, both from the SDK message.usage , the result's modelUsage model .contextWindow ; Codex's is thread/tokenUsage/updated the last request's total against the model's usable window . The numbers are kept with the session Project.context , so the meter shows them when the chat opens. A click opens the numbers and a Compact button; the click itself compacts nothing. Compacting is a turn of its own Claude Code's /compact , Codex's thread/compact/start sent with the last turn's settings, so the provider's cached prompt still applies; a typed /compact does the same. While it runs the sheets pulse and the thread says so; when it is over, a note in the thread kept with the session's notes says it, with the tokens before and after, and so does the flight recorder, whoever started it the provider compacting on its own mid-turn included . Auto-compact Jauvex settings, Context; settings --auto-compact <percent |provider is 90 % by default: past it, the chat compacts after the answer, before the next message goes. Claude Code's own trigger is moved to the same share of the window CLAUDE AUTOCOMPACT PCT OVERRIDE , scaled, since Claude Code counts it against the window less the room it keeps for the answer; it can only lower Claude Code's threshold , so a long turn compacts in the middle too; Codex compacts mid-turn at its own limit 90 % of its model's window, about 95 % on the meter . A message that does not fit at all "Prompt is too long", Codex's contextWindowExceeded is compacted for at once and sent again, once. Why: on 2026-09-23 a Claude session sat at 962K of its 1M window, the next message pushed it over, and the messages after it failed with "Prompt is too long" until it was compacted by hand; no meter had shown how full it was, and nothing said it was compacting. Anthropic gives no recommended percentage Claude Code's own default is about 967K of a 1M window ; 90 % leaves room for the next message. - What you say is written as you say it. The moment you start talking, a dashed "Hearing you" bubble opens on your side of the thread and fills with your words while you are still speaking typed out, with only the corrected part retyped when a newer transcript disagrees . When the thought is finished the bubble becomes the real message: sent, queued, or handed over mid-turn. Nothing is repeated under the orb. The live words come from a second, tiny Whisper ggml-base , its own server on the next port, asked about once a second and never while the real transcript is being made , because whisper-server answers one request at a time and the transcript that counts must not wait. Both servers run half a second of silence at start-up, so the first sentence does not pay for loading the model onto the GPU. Before starting its own, the app stops any whisper-server a previous run left on its two ports found by port, checked by command line, stopped by its own pid : the app dies without them when it is killed, and each restart used to leave a pair behind. Only this install's are stopped their model is in its own models/ : on 2026-09-24 the other edition, started next to this one on the same ports, stopped both of this one's servers, and the wake phrase went with them. The editions use ports of their own; one that finds its port taken by another install's server leaves it and says so in the flight recorder. - The orb rides on the conversation. In voice mode the thread runs on under the orb and fades out behind it a mask, so it works on any background ; the last message rests just above it. The thread stays pinned to the bottom whatever grows streamed text, a voice line being typed, a table rendering, the draft bubble, the orb appearing : only scrolling up lets go of the bottom. - Voice : with no voice picked the app uses the system's default voice. Samantha renders a line in a third of the time, 0.65 s against 1.9 s, but sounds robotic next to it; not worth it. A half-finished thought is held 2.5 s for its second half, not 4.5. - The answer lands while the understanding is being said : if most of the line is out it finishes; otherwise the voice cuts at the end of the sentence it is in estimated from the text , fades over a quarter second, and a short bridge "Oh, it is done already.", rendered ahead leads into the summary. Nothing starts and stops mid-word. - A sound that goes on with no words in it a fan, a video, typing is not speech: when the live words find nothing in it three passes in a row, the segment is dropped, so the voice is not held for as long as the noise lasts it once held a summary for a hundred seconds . No segment lasts more than 45 seconds either way. - A sound that was nothing a click, a cough, a ghost word only fades what is playing; the lines queued or being rendered stay and are said once it is over. Only real speech, confirmed by the transcript, drops them. - A pause. "One second", "wait", "hold on", "let me think", and nothing else: nothing goes to the main thread, the voice says it will wait "Take your time.", "Okay, I'm here." and the next thing said is a message as usual, whether the agent is idle or working a pause is never steered into a turn . Jev tells a pause from "wait, make it blue" a task or "one second, what did you say?" a question ; without Jev only the bare phrase counts. Typed, "wait" is a message like any other. - Preparing the reply. When the agent's answer is in and the voice is putting its summary into words and rendering it, the orb and its label say so "Preparing the reply" , so the pause before the voice speaks is not taken for silence. - Goodbye. "Bye", "good night", "talk to you later", "I'll be back": the voice answers in kind "Good night, sleep well.", "Sure, I'll be here. Talk later." and voice mode ends. Jev confirms it is a farewell and not the word in passing "add a goodbye message to the login page" is not one , and whether there is something to do first: "set an alarm for eight, then bye" goes to the main thread as a normal message, and the goodbye comes once that turn is over, after the summary. Without Jev, a short farewell counts by its words alone, a longer one is taken as having a task in it. - Speaker voice settings : which output device the voice comes out of, with a Test line. A screen recorder or a virtual audio device can leave the system default somewhere you cannot hear; the audio context is also resumed before every line, because another app taking the audio can leave it suspended. - The voice helper answers one question at a time. Speculation asks it for an acknowledgment at every pause, and the harness folds messages that arrive mid-answer into the running turn: two questions, one answer, and from then on every answer lands on the wrong question or nowhere a voice that talks nonsense, then goes silent for good . So a question is only handed over when the previous answer has arrived, one still waiting is dropped when a newer one comes in, a helper that owes an answer for 25 s is replaced, and a reply that is not a plain spoken line is never said. - Debugger, Model tab : every exchange with Jev and with the models, one line each the question and Jev's choice with its confidence; the job and the voice model's reply; the main model's reading of an order , and a click opens the whole of it: the state and questions sent to Jev with its probabilities, or the message sent to the model and its raw reply. That is where to see why a decision came out the way it did. - What the voice did, on disk : the debugger's events also go to data/voice-debug.log rolled at 2 MB , including the fate of every line that was meant to be spoken said , or NOT said and why . - Steering : what you say out loud while the agent works reaches it right away, without interrupting it . It is added to the running turn as new information: the agent keeps its whole context and what it has done, reads your words at its next step and carries on "use the staging database, not production", "don't touch the footer", "also update the readme", "what model are you using?" . The voice says "Okay, working on that now" one assistant at work: never a word about queues, channels or another agent and the message shows in the thread tagged "Sent mid-turn". Speech only waits when you ask for that in so many words "queue this for later", "don't tell it yet" , and the work is only stopped or replaced when you clearly say so; narrowing the same task "skip the tests for now" is steering, never an interruption. In doubt it steers. Jev decides, and without Jev the voice model does. Typed messages are different: they queue, and every queued bubble has a Send now button that steers it. Claude turns take their prompt as a stream, so the message is folded into the running turn; Codex gets it through turn/steer . When the turn ends, queued messages leave one at a time, each as its own turn, in the order they were typed, never merged into one; a spoken instruction that replaces the work goes first. The queue, its images and the text typed but not sent are kept on disk per chat: a reload of the window an agent's touch data/reload-ui or a restart never loses a message, and a queue restored with no turn running goes out at once. - Nothing said is lost T-99 : what you say as a stop shows in the thread, marked "Stopped the turn"; when it says more than stop "wait, list them first, stop" , those words go to the agent once the turn has stopped stopSaysMore in shared/orders.ts , and a bare stop is kept with the session's notes. A message handed to a running turn that the model never read goes again once the turn is over, without a second bubble: after a stop or a replace, everything handed to that turn Claude Code drops what it had not taken up, and twice is better than never ; after a turn that ends on its own, what was handed over once its last answer had started unsent on the turn's end, from chat.ts . Why: on 2026-09-23 a message said just before a stop, and one said as a turn was ending, were shown as sent and never answered. - What the voice says can also be written voice settings, "Show what the voice says in the thread"; off by default, because next to the main answer it reads as the same thing twice : each spoken line appears in the thread as a "Voice" bubble tinted, tagged, on the assistant's side , typed out at the pace it is spoken and cut short if you interrupt it. It is not part of the session's transcript, so it is not there after a reload, and the main thread's text, reasoning and tools stay as they were. - Commands for the app itself. "Create a new agent", "create a new Codex agent in the homepage project", "create a new Grok agent", "create a new Jev agent" are caught before anything reaches the main thread: the voice says what it is doing, the agent opens in the folder you named or the open one , and voice mode carries on there. A cheap word gate runs first, so ordinary speech pays nothing; then Jev settles whether it was an order for the app or a coding request that merely mentions agents, which kind was meant it knows Whisper writes Claude as "Cloud", Codex as "codecs", Grok as "grog", Jev as "Jeff" or "Jet" and which folder. Without Jev the voice model reads the same things in one line the COMMAND job , and a kind only counts when one was actually said. The app carries an order out on its own only when it is sure shared/orders.ts : the exact phrase "restart the app" , or Jev at 0.85 or more. When nobody is sure Jev leaning, unsure or absent, the voice model reading an order it asks in one short line, shown and said "Should I open a new agent in website? Say yes to open it; anything else goes to the agent as you said it" : a clear yes carries the order out, anything else sends the words it asked about to the agent, as they were said. "Give me the handoff instructions so the other agent can work on this" once opened a new agent that way. Typed messages get the same treatment while voice mode is on. The order may follow a few other words "Okay, let's see if this works. Make a new Codex agent." : it is looked for sentence by sentence, and inside a longer message it is only acted on when Jev is sure it is for the app. "... named X" / "call it X" names the agent: a Jev agent at once, a Claude or Codex session when its first turn ends it shows in the title bar from the start , written to the provider like any rename. "... about X" / "for X" is what the agent is for. Jev only says that this is an order to open an agent; the details are language, so the session's own model reads the sentence once and returns them as JSON kind, name written as a person would title it, purpose, folder , overriding what the rules found, and it also writes the new agent's first message for that order opened from the app, which folder, name and purpose in the user's intent, other agents may be at work, change nothing yet, look around, say what it understood and proposes, ask, then wait . The new agent is never left blank: a session only exists once something is sent. The agent opens at once with what Jev and the rules found; the model's reading arrives a few seconds later command:details and the name and first message follow it. If the model gives nothing within 30 s, the rules and the static kickoffMessage in shared/types.ts stand. An agent born from an order never keeps its first message as its title: without a name it becomes "Codex agent" or "Claude agent". The order itself stays in the thread it was given in, with a note of what the app did. The microphone does not move: there is one in the whole app, it stays with the session it was started in while you look at or type into others that session's row shows a small waveform , and it only moves when you start voice somewhere else. While you look at another session, its orb waits at the bottom of the sidebar with the session's name, the phase, and mute / silence / end buttons; the name takes you back. The floating bar that appears over other apps while voice is on the tiny bar has a move handle four arrows that shows when the bar is hovered: drag it to move the bar, and nothing else drags it. It comes back where it was left. Its keyboard button slides a typing box open, the bar growing with it: Enter sends the text to the listening session the way its composer would queued while a turn runs , without talking and without bringing the app forward; Escape closes it. - The voice's models come from the live lists. For each provider the voice settings offer what the account offers now Claude from the Agent SDK's model list, Codex from model/list , with "Automatic the smallest " first: a Haiku on Claude, the fast and affordable one on Codex. A saved id that is no longer offered, or one the API refuses, falls back to the smallest, and the settings say which model is really in use. Nothing about model names is hard-coded beyond the tier words, so a model that comes or goes never silences the voice. - Decisions by Jev, when it is there. If a TypeSafe key is on this Mac TYPESAFE API KEY , or ~/.typesafe/token , the voice channel's decisions go to Jev, TypeSafe's System One model electron/jev.ts : it does not write text, it answers typed questions with probabilities, in about 250 ms against 1 to 3 s for the voice model. It decides: whether your thought is finished when you pause a clear "no" holds the words, joins them to what you say next and sends one message; held at most three times, 4.5 s each . A long dictation is closed at its next short pause once it passes 6 s, and at 12 s whatever the pauses, and the next words join it not counted as a hold : every transcription pass costs by the length of the audio, and a paragraph re-transcribed at each pause took seconds a pass, so the words landed late and the thought was cut in two. The fullest text any pass of a stretch heard is remembered: a final pass that heard far fewer words a 14 s pass once came back as "I" where earlier passes had heard two sentences is retried once, and the fuller text wins. Whole transcripts Whisper invents from near-silence "Thank you for your time.", "Thanks for watching" are dropped whatever their score. The audio of every pass stays in data/voice-audio the newest 120 files, never sent anywhere , named in the recorder, so a lost sentence can be replayed. One speculative pass at a time: a pause while the previous pass still runs skips it, whether it was a question or a thank-you answered at once with the voice answers in three stages: the quick line at once Jev's fixed phrase, prepared during the pause , then the understanding the voice model, told the quick line it comes after so it never repeats it, from the request and the last of the conversation: one or two sentences that reinforce what was said without parroting it; skipped for anything under five words, or once the turn is already over , then the summary of the answer when it lands , and queue / steer / stop / replace while the main thread is busy, with the spoken line picked from a fixed set, in English, never the same line twice in a row. "Decisions" in the voice settings hands all of it back to the voice model. Below 0.6 confidence, in another language, over the 1.2 s budget, on any error, or with no key, the voice model decides as before. The key stays in the main process: never logged, never sent to the window. CVC JEV=off switches it off. The voice settings say who is deciding. - The fixed lines English only; a line is never said twice in a row : question "Let me check" / "Good question, one second" / "Let me look at that" / "One moment, checking"; task "Okay, one second" / "Sure, give me a moment" / "Got it, one moment" / "Sure, one moment"; thanks "Happy to help" / "Anytime" / "Glad you like it"; remark "Okay, one second" / "Mmm, let me think" / "Sure, give me a moment" never a single word ; while working: steer "Okay, working on that now" / "Got it, on it" / "Sure, one moment", a question "Good question, I'll answer that too" / "Let me look at that as well", queue "Okay, I'll queue that up" / "Got it, I'll keep that for right after this", stop "Okay, I'll take care of that right away, stopping now" / "Okay, stopping now", replace "Okay, switching to that right away" / "Got it, dropping this and switching now"; a stop word alone "Okay, stopped". - Welcome screen opens by itself the first time the app runs, over the main window, and from Jauvex settings after; the checks sit in two columns so the screen fits the window, hints and all : first the orb alone, a little bigger, in the middle of the screen; after a beat it slides up and shrinks into its place, the title fades in and the welcome is spoken the name, one phrase on what the app is, and that the computer is being checked , typed out on screen as it is said, and only then the checks a fresh Mac must pass appear, each with a spinner, landing one after another so the Start button comes only after the last , on screen and out loud. With both providers signed in and no default agent yet it asks which one to start with. Once the checks are in it listens, and keeps listening while it talks: speak over its line and it stops mid-sentence, like a chat echo cancellation keeps it from hearing itself; a heard line that is its own is dropped . It listens Whisper warms up as the screen opens for: "start", "Claude", "Codex" or both in one breath "let's start with Codex" , Jev first, and "Claude" then "start" as two steps; with three options only, a word within one edit of "start", "Claude" or "Codex" counts "Stark", "Clon", "Codecs" , however Whisper spelled it; a provider that is not signed in is not a choice: with one provider there is only start, and a name gets "not signed in here; I have Claude, say start"; anything else gets a nudge to press or say start; with nobody signed in it says plainly that it cannot answer yet. The very first time Start opens the Jauvex agent, it introduces itself in a few spoken sentences, said out loud as well as shown: who it is, that it orchestrates the other agents, can be a personal agent, looks after the app and helps contribute to the project, that talking works best and typing is just as welcome, and that voice can be switched off or on at any time. Asked for a new agent, it asks which folder or opens the folder dialog for you and creates a new session there on its own provider; the app's own "new agent" shortcut stays out of its way in that chat, and never lands a new agent in the app's own folder by default. Under the orb it shows what it heard and what its ears are doing listening, or why not: microphone access off, Whisper still loading . Start, said or pressed, opens the Jauvex agent with voice on, so the first conversation is with an agent that can answer. The checks: the say command, Claude signed in, Codex signed in, whisper-server with a model, a TypeSafe key optional , with the command to run for whatever is missing. macOS only for now. The window is muted while voice mode is off nothing in it may make a sound then ; the welcome unmutes it while it is open, so it is heard without starting a voice chat, and mutes it again when closed. - Jauvex settings the wheel in the sidebar's footer : the app's own settings, in tabs across the top, in a window that keeps its size from tab to tab: General the default agent, whether the Jauvex agent shows in the sidebar and how it moves between providers, the welcome screen: show it again on the next start, or open it now , Voice the voice chat settings, the same as under a session's orb , Context when to compact by itself and Reset in red, the danger zone: reset the app to its initial state . The accounts are in the Jauvex button. It deletes only the app's own data the sidebar's folders and sessions, which stay untouched in Claude, Codex and Grok, the Jauvex agent's conversation, every setting, the flight recorder , after a confirmation that says it cannot be undone; the app then says so and exits, and the next start is a first run. - Debugger the bug icon in the title bar; docks as a panel under the conversation , two tabs. Voice : a live list of what the voice channel did. What Whisper heard, whether the thought was judged finished, each acknowledgment, each queue / stop / replace call, what was queued and sent, the spoken summary, and every time Jev gave no answer and the voice model took over. Each line says who decided Jev, the voice model, a rule, the app and how long it took; the header keeps the averages. In memory only, the last 300 events electron/debug.ts ; never keys or audio. - The orb is Jauvex's own: the two strands of the mark as a slowly turning double helix inside a dark glass disc. The strands swell with the voice level yours or the voice's and turn faster while the main thread thinks. Two gray layers: the microphone muted grays the disc the ears , the speaker off grays the strands the voice , so each state reads on its own. - Voice can start while a turn runs : the Stop button and the voice button sit side by side; voice joins the work in progress, and what you say steers the running turn. - Controls : end, mic mute, orb, speaker mute, settings voice, speed, pause length, language, voice model . When the app loses focus a small floating controller stays on top. - TypeScript everywhere. No server: the React UI web/ calls the Electron main process over one IPC channel electron/preload.ts → electron/main.ts → electron/backend.ts . - The Jauvex agent lives in ~/.jauvex , not in the folder the app is installed in: Claude Code files a session under its working folder, and renaming the install folder once left the agent pointing at a folder that no longer existed, its conversation gone from the window. An old entry is moved there when the state loads; its briefing names the install folder and the command line by its full path. When its session cannot be found where it lives, the conversation stays on screen the app keeps its own transcript , a note says so, and the next message starts a new session carrying the conversation so far, the way a move to the other provider does. The app's state is read once and kept in memory, so two changes at the same moment can no longer overwrite each other a cleared session once came back, and the agent's entry vanished . - The data folder is ~/.jauvex/personal electron/paths.ts : the state, the window's profile, the logs and the command files, for every copy, run from source or compiled, outside the folder the app is installed in, so an update or a new copy keeps everything; data/ in this README means that folder. One data folder, one copy running the lock in main.ts ; CVC DATA DIR moves it the checks . - Orders for the app are kept, and only whole orders are taken. When the app handles something itself a restart, a reload, a new agent , the user's words and its reply stay in the thread: they are kept next to the session data/notes/<session .json , after the message they followed; in the transcript of an agent that moves between providers , so a restart no longer wipes them. And the app only takes an order when that order is the whole request: "publish and restart the app" goes to the agent, which does the work and then restarts the app itself node scripts/jauvex.ts restart ; every agent is told so . - Voice settings in two places. The same form sits under a session's orb and in the main settings Voice chat ; they are one set for the whole app, and a change in either place reaches every open chat. Text settings save as they are typed. - Push to talk voice settings; T-157, asked for 2026-09-26 : the microphone hears only while its button the microphone in the voice pill or the Option key is held. A pause while holding ends nothing; letting go ends what was said at once, a finished thought no wait for more words . The wake phrase and the mute countdowns have nothing to do then. - A wake phrase, and mute after each message voice settings; the wake phrase has its own on/off box . While the microphone is muted, the ears still listen for short phrases of up to 4 s and check each against the wake phrase "Hey Jauvex" by default; empty turns it off , by sound rather than spelling the small model hears "Hey Jauvex" as "Hey, Jev, X." ; a match turns the microphone back on. Nothing else heard while muted is sent or written down. "Mute after each message" starts a countdown on the microphone button after each spoken message 5 s by default, the numbers flash , then mutes; talking again cancels it, and a sound that turns out to be no words a breath, a knock starts it again: one once stopped it for good. "Mute when idle" off, or up to a minute mutes after that long with nobody talking, the last 5 s counting down the same way. With these, the user mutes by staying quiet and comes back by saying the phrase. The phrase is heard by the small live-words server; when that one is down, the main Whisper hears it instead, and a live server that stopped starts again when next needed at most every 30 s . Why: on 2026-09-24 the small server died, the app never started it again, and every check heard nothing: the user said his phrase again and again and the microphone stayed muted. The flight recorder says which server heard each check tests/wake-check.test.ts . - Sessions come from the Claude Agent SDK @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk : listSessions { dir } , getSessionInfo , getSessionMessages . Same data the claude CLI uses, typed, with no CLI scraping and no parsing of ~/.claude by hand. The same SDK's query { resume } is the path for sending messages later. Claude Code keeps its sessions in ~/.claude , or wherever CLAUDE CONFIG DIR points: the app starts through macOS, not from a terminal, so it takes CLAUDE CONFIG DIR and CODEX HOME from the login shell along with PATH without that, a user who had moved Claude Code's folder saw his Codex sessions listed and none of his Claude Code ones . When a folder lists no Claude Code session, the debug panel says where the app looked. - Codex sessions come from codex app-server electron/codex.ts : the JSON-RPC interface, one JSON object per line over stdio, that Codex's own clients use. thread/list from Codex's state database useStateDbOnly : the default scan of the rollout files leaves out the threads the desktop app's agents created, which the desktop still lists , kept when a thread ran in the folder or in a Codex worktree of it ~/.codex/worktrees/<id /<basename , recognised by the basename and the folder's git origin, never by reading Codex's folders ; thread/items/list , thread/start / thread/resume , turn/start , turn/interrupt , plus the approval requests the server sends. Same login, config and session store as the Codex CLI, nothing in ~/.codex parsed by hand. The binary is the @openai/codex npm dependency; codex app-server generate-ts --out <dir prints the protocol types for the installed version. One server process starts on first use and is shared by every Codex chat. - Grok sessions come from grok agent stdio electron/grok.ts : the Agent Client Protocol JSON-RPC 2.0, one object per line over stdio that Grok Build speaks to editors, with its own x.ai/ extensions Grok Build's source is public: github.com/xai-org/grok-build . session/list per folder; session/load replays a session's history as updates marked isReplay , and a session the app is not running is closed again after reading, so a Grok window that goes on with it never races a stale copy here; session/new / session/resume , session/prompt , session/cancel , session/set config option model, effort , the session/request permission requests, x.ai/interject , x.ai/session/rename . Grok takes the app's briefing once, when a session is made meta.rules , folded into its system prompt , so the note on dictation is always in it. One agent process with --no-leader the app's own, never the leader a Grok window on the Mac may share , started on first use, and never when no grok is on the Mac. Same login, config and store as the Grok CLI ~/.grok , nothing there read by hand. Its plan's credits come from x.ai/billing , what Grok's own usage view reads the share of the period's included credits used, the period, on-demand spending, bought credits, the plan's name . Not yet: a Grok row on the welcome screen. - electron/chat.ts routes each turn by the session's provider; every provider sends the UI the same ChatEvent s. - Two threads per chat. The main thread is the session itself Claude or Codex, the model in the picker . The voice thread is a small model from the same provider Haiku for Claude sessions; for Codex sessions the account's fast, affordable model, in a throwaway ephemeral thread with a read-only sandbox, so nothing lands in your Codex history; for Grok sessions Grok's fast model, in a session of its own in the system's temporary folder with the voice's prompt as its whole system prompt: Grok keeps every session, so the voice's is deleted when a new one is made, and its id is kept in the data folder for the next run to delete when the app quit before Grok answered; each can be changed in the voice settings . About 1.3 to 1.8 s per line once warm; voice mode warms it up. It only speaks for the main thread: every message it gets starts with a MAIN: line naming the main thread's provider and model, it has no identity of its own, and asked "what model are you?" it relays the main thread's answer instead of naming itself tmp/e2e-voice.ts checks this for both providers . - App state folders + picked sessions, and which of them are Codex's lives in ~/.jauvex/personal/state.json . - npm start goes through open so macOS attributes privacy permissions the microphone, later to the app instead of the terminal.
