Voice Daily Validation Checklist

Use this checklist for release sign-off of Daily voice behavior.

Session Setup

• Confirm DAILY_ROOM_URL, DAILY_TOKEN, and DEEPGRAM_API_KEY are set.
• If TTS is required, confirm vendor credentials are set.
• Start from a clean room with one participant.

Baseline Launch

Run:

python ip_conductor.py \
  --voice \
  --voice-transport daily \
  --turn-profile balanced \
  --barge-in-mode commands \
  --command-emit-source turn_stop \
  --metrics

• App starts without tracebacks.
• Voice listener starts in Daily mode.
• Metrics lines appear ([metrics] ...).

Command Behavior

Speak this sequence:

1. read
2. pause
3. continue
4. back two
5. forward one
6. repeat
7. highlight
8. stop

• Each command triggers once (no duplicate actions).
• Read flow transitions are correct.
• Highlight targets the current utterance.

Safe Profile Regression

Run:

python ip_conductor.py \
  --voice \
  --voice-transport daily \
  --turn-profile safe \
  --barge-in-mode off \
  --command-emit-source turn_stop \
  --metrics

• Fewer accidental command triggers than balanced profile.
• Bot speech is not interrupted in off mode.

Failover Drill (Optional but Recommended)

• Enable IP_CONDUCTOR_FAILOVER_ENABLED=true.
• Set IP_CONDUCTOR_FAILOVER_CHAIN=deepgram,whisper.
• Induce primary STT failure (key/network interruption).
• Confirm log includes service.stt_failover_switch.
• Confirm session continues and commands recover.

Log Capture

Run:

python ip_conductor.py --voice --voice-transport daily --turn-profile balanced --metrics \
  2>&1 | tee /tmp/ip-conductor-daily.log

Quick checks:

grep -E "\[voice\]|\[metrics\]|service\.stt_failover_switch|Invalid RTVI transport message" /tmp/ip-conductor-daily.log

• No repeated malformed RTVI warnings.
• No unexpected fatal errors.

RTVI Warning Triage

If repeated Invalid RTVI transport message warnings appear:

• Verify room URL/token are from the same room and token is valid.
• Re-test with a clean room and only one client.
• Disable external clients that may send malformed RTVI payloads.
• Re-run baseline launch and compare logs.

Sign-off

• Balanced profile passed.
• Safe profile passed.
• Failover drill passed (or explicitly skipped with reason).
• Logs archived with test date and room identifier.
