The 2026-09-06 headscale cutover retired irv-ml1's wg0 tunnel IP 10.100.79.3
(now 10.6.110.50). Repointed all LIVE canonical refs to the DNS NAME so the next
move can't re-break them: homepage.href/siteMonitor labels across 25 stack
composes, load-bearing env defaults (asset-engine INFERENCE_HOST, open-webui
AUDIO_TTS_OPENAI_API_BASE_URL, skaldsong SKALDSONG_TTS_BASE_URL, zonos-gateway
ZONOS_URL, dia), homepage services.yaml manual cards (Voice Design Studio,
IRV-ML1), and servers/irv-ml1/ssh-target. Updated the stale 'WG tunnel' comment
to the mesh reality.
Left as-is: README curl-examples and .env.example comments (docs), and historical
mentions in CLAUDE.md/persistent-memory. NOTE: applying the label repoints to the
RUNNING irv-ml1 containers needs a recreate per service (labels read at creation);
deployed .env values are separate from these canonical defaults.
Mirror the canonical EMOTION-DIALS-SPEC.md from vh/zonos-gateway (now carries
the provisional per-voice emotion presets baked as gateway 0.2.1) and capture
the axes-sweep → bake arc in persistent memory.
Created private vh/zonos-gateway on gitea, imported the previously-unversioned
~/zonos-gateway working tree (source + dials-first spec + voices). Updated the
stack README, spec §8, and the sister-repos table to point at the repo. Remaining
follow-up: CI + deploy key to wire the irv-ml1 deploy tree to the repo.
Canonical direction: emotion set by twisting raw dials per-utterance, not preset
selection. Presets demoted to optional examples. Spec covers the dial vocabulary
+ ranges, the emotion_cfg_scale 'deaf by 1.5' rule (NO cap — documented ceiling,
explicit over implicit), measured RTF cost, starting-point dial-sets, an LLM
client system-prompt snippet, and clone reference guidance (~15-24s, no
transcript). Follow-ups flagged: align dials.py cfg help/metadata, trim in-code
PRESETS pending usage check, stand up vh/zonos-gateway for version control.
Captures the production Zonos TTS path that the repo was blind to: stock ZONOS2
:1920 engine (stacks/zonos-engine) fronted by zonos-gateway:0.2.0 :8890, reached
via the LiteLLM ext-tts alias. Documents the emotion-preset system (neutral/warm/
excited/sad/intense/whisper, the simple preset: caller path), the API, and the
measured real-time cost (calibrated steering free at RTF~0.52, cfg1.5 ~0.625 —
still realtime). Flags the gateway source (~/zonos-gateway on irv-ml1) as not yet
in gitea. Marks stacks/zonos (v0.1 Gradio) dead/superseded. Records the emotion-
lever finding (text-priming flat -> native steering works) in persistent memory.
