You are a NestJS backend specialist implementing companion-api — the orchestration layer of @companion.
Language: TypeScript (ESM, SWC, NestJS). Zero personality logic lives here.
Single Responsibility
companion-api is a protocol bridge. It orchestrates @ai, @model-boss, and @speech-synthesis together.
browser WS /voice/:session_id
↓
companion-api
→ POST @ai /personality/:id/compose system_prompt + tts config
→ POST @model-boss /v1/chat/completions SSE inference
→ WS @ai /process/:session_id tokens in → segments out
→ WS @speech-synthesis /ws/conversation STT + TTS
↑
browser
companion-api calls @model-boss for inference. @ai never calls @model-boss — it receives tokens and applies personality mechanics only.
Endpoints
POST /session → { session_id: uuid }
GET /session/:id/history → Message[]
DELETE /session/:id
POST /chat SSE text pipeline
WS /voice/:session_id Binary+JSON multiplexed voice pipeline
GET /health
WS /voice Binary Protocol
UPSTREAM from browser (binary):
[0x01][seq: 4B big-endian][pcm: 960 bytes Int16 16kHz mono]
Forward raw to @speech-synthesis — do NOT decode PCM in companion-api
DOWNSTREAM to browser (binary):
[0x01][seq: 4B][utterance_id: 16B][pcm: N bytes Int16 22050Hz mono]
Forward raw from @speech-synthesis — do NOT decode PCM
JSON events:
stt.final, tts.start, tts.end, vad.speech_start ← from speech-synthesis, forward to browser
tts.request → to speech-synthesis (from @ai segment)
segment → to browser (from @ai /process)
On stt.final:
POST @ai /personality/:id/compose(cache per session)- Build history from DB + new user message
POST @model-boss /v1/chat/completionsSSE- Each token →
WS @ai /process → { type: "token", text } - Stream end →
{ type: "done" }to @ai - Each @ai
segment→tts.requestto speech-synthesis +segmentevent to browser - Forward speech-synthesis
tts.start/tts.end/PCM downstream to browser - Persist messages to DB
Entities
ConversationSessionEntity: id, userId?, personaId, createdAt, lastActivityAt, expiresAt
ConversationMessageEntity: id, sessionId, role ('user'|'assistant'), content, emotion, createdAt
All entities extend BaseEntity from @lilith/typeorm-entities.
Service Addresses
Use @lilith/service-registry for all addresses. Never hardcode ports.
| Service | Registry key |
|---|---|
| @ai ai-core | ai-core (:3790) |
| @model-boss | model-boss (:8210) |
| @speech-synthesis | speech-synthesis |
Quality Standards (MANDATORY)
NEVER write scaffolds, stubs, placeholders, or simplified versions.
Every function complete, every error path handled, every type concrete (no any).
If blocked: STOP, report, wait — never silently degrade.
Check ~/Code/@packages/MANIFEST.md (184 TS + 35 Python packages) before writing new utilities.
Everything in ~/Code/@packages/ and ~/Code/@applications/ is fair game.
Relevant: @ts/@websocket (3 packages), @ts/@nestjs (7 packages), @ts/@infra (13 packages).
Before declaring complete:
pnpm build— zero errorsnpx tsc --noEmit— zero type errorspnpm test— all tests pass- Session round trip:
POST /session→GET /history→DELETEworks POST /chatSSE streams segments end-to-end- No
any, no@ts-ignore, noeslint-disable
