+# Audio Model — Acceptance Criteria
+
+Each feature below defines the exact input→output contract. A test passes **only** if the output matches the expectation precisely.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Audio Input Pipeline
+
+### Feature 1: `--audio` CLI flag accepted
+- **Input**: Launch SwiftLM with `--audio` flag
+- **Expected**: Flag is parsed without error; server starts (may warn "no audio model loaded" if no model specified)
+- **FAIL if**: Flag causes argument parsing error or crash
+
+### Feature 2: Base64 WAV data URI extraction
+- **Input**: Message content part with `{"type": "input_audio", "input_audio": {"data": "<base64-wav>", "format": "wav"}}`
+- **Expected**: `extractAudio()` returns valid PCM sample data
+- **FAIL if**: Returns nil, crashes, or silently ignores the audio part
+
+### Feature 3: WAV header parsing
+- **Input**: 16-bit, 16kHz, mono WAV file (44-byte header + PCM data)
+- **Expected**: Parser extracts: `sampleRate=16000`, `channels=1`, `bitsPerSample=16`, `dataOffset=44`
+- **FAIL if**: Any header field is wrong, or parser crashes on valid WAV
+
+### Feature 4: Mel spectrogram generation
+- **Input**: 1 second of 440Hz sine wave at 16kHz sample rate (16000 samples)
+- **Expected**: Output is a 2D MLXArray with shape `[80, N]` where N = number of frames
+- **FAIL if**: Output shape is wrong, values are all zero, or function crashes
+- **NOTE**: Use `Accelerate.framework` vDSP FFT for efficiency
+
+### Feature 5: Mel spectrogram dimensions
+- **Input**: 30 seconds of audio at 16kHz
+- **Expected**: Output shape matches Whisper's expected `[80, 3000]` (80 mel bins, 3000 frames for 30s)
+- **FAIL if**: Frame count doesn't match Whisper's hop_length=160 convention
+
+### Feature 6: Long audio chunking
+- **Input**: 90 seconds of audio
+- **Expected**: Audio is split into 3 x 30-second chunks, each producing `[80, 3000]` mel spectrograms
+- **FAIL if**: Single oversized tensor is created, or chunks overlap/drop samples
+
+### Feature 7: Silent audio handling
+- **Input**: 1 second of all-zero PCM samples
+- **Expected**: Returns valid mel spectrogram (all low-energy values); no crash, no division-by-zero
+- **FAIL if**: Function crashes, returns NaN, or throws
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Speech-to-Text (STT)
+
+### Feature 8: Whisper model type registered

+- **Expected**: Registry contains a valid model creator for `"whisper"`
+- **FAIL if**: Key not found or creator returns nil
+
+### Feature 9: Whisper encoder output
+- **Input**: `[80, 3000]` mel spectrogram tensor
+- **Expected**: Encoder returns hidden states tensor of shape `[1, 1500, encoder_dim]`
+- **FAIL if**: Output shape is wrong or values are all zero
+
+### Feature 10: Whisper decoder output
+- **Input**: Encoder hidden states + start-of-transcript token
+- **Expected**: Decoder generates a token ID sequence terminated by end-of-transcript
+- **FAIL if**: Returns empty sequence, hangs, or crashes
+
+### Feature 11: Transcription endpoint
+- **Input**: POST `/v1/audio/transcriptions` with base64 WAV body
+- **Expected**: Response JSON: `{"text": "..."}`
+- **FAIL if**: Endpoint returns 404, 500, or malformed JSON
+
+### Feature 12: Transcription accuracy
+- **Input**: Known fixture WAV of "the quick brown fox"
+- **Expected**: `text` field contains words matching the spoken content (fuzzy match acceptable)
+- **FAIL if**: Completely wrong transcription or empty text
+- **Fixture**: `fixtures/quick_brown_fox.wav`
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Multimodal Audio Fusion
+
+### Feature 13: Gemma 4 audio_config parsed
+- **Input**: Gemma 4 `config.json` with `audio_config.model_type: "gemma4_audio"`
+- **Expected**: Configuration struct correctly populates audio encoder fields (hidden_size=1024, num_hidden_layers=12, num_attention_heads=8)
+- **FAIL if**: Audio config is nil or fields are zero/default
+
+### Feature 14: Audio token interleaving
+- **Input**: Text tokens `[101, 102]` + audio embeddings `[A1, A2, A3]` + `boa_token_id=255010` + `eoa_token_id=255011`
+- **Expected**: Combined sequence: `[101, 102, 255010, A1, A2, A3, 255011]`
+- **FAIL if**: Audio tokens are appended instead of interleaved at correct position
+
+### Feature 15: Audio token boundaries
+- **Input**: Audio segment with known `boa_token_id` and `eoa_token_id`
+- **Expected**: `boa` token appears immediately before first audio embedding; `eoa` token appears immediately after last
+- **FAIL if**: Boundary tokens are missing, duplicated, or in wrong position
+
+### Feature 16: Trimodal request (text + vision + audio)
+- **Input**: POST with text prompt + base64 image + base64 WAV audio
+- **Expected**: All three modalities are parsed, encoded, and fused without crash; model produces output

+# Harness Run Log: Audio Pre-flight
+Date: 2026-04-10
+Execution Context: Agent Loop Protocol (Phase 1 Baseline)
+
+## Summary
+The TDD harness for Audio multimodal support was effectively operationalized. 
+
+### Completed Capabilities
+- **Feature 1**: Confirmed the ingestion of the `--audio` CLI switch in `SwiftLM`'s `Server.swift` without application crashes.
+- **Feature 2**: Engineered the base64 WAV extraction bridge within `OpenAIPayloads.swift`, mapping valid parts to an array of internal `Data` references.
+- **Feature 3**: Tested and confirmed native extraction of PCM header properties (Sample rate, channels, int-format) executing exclusively with `AVFoundation.AVAudioFile`.
+
+### Test Validation
+```
+Test Suite 'AudioExtractionTests' passed at 2026-04-10 00:43:24.117.
+	 Executed 2 tests, with 0 failures (0 unexpected) in 0.005 (0.005) seconds
+Test Suite 'AudioTests' passed at 2026-04-10 00:44:48.700.
+	 Executed 1 test, with 0 failures (0 unexpected) in 0.162 (0.163) seconds
+```
+
+### Next Steps 
+The baseline extraction fixtures provide robust testing surfaces. Implement Feature 4 (Mel Spectrogram transformation matrix generation).

+# Chat Tool Integration — Acceptance Criteria
+
+## Feature 1: ChatMessage supports tool role
+- **Action**: Add `.tool` to `ChatMessage.Role` enum in `MLXInferenceCore/ChatMessage.swift`.
+- **Expected**: Instantiating `ChatMessage(role: .tool, content: "result")` works and properly maps to Hugging Face Jinja template roles.
+- **Test**: `testFeature1_ChatMessageToolRole` verifies role string conversion.
+
+## Feature 2: System Prompt Tool Schema Injection
+- **Action**: Create a method that converts the JSON dictionary schemas from `MemoryPalaceTools.schemas` into a readable YAML/JSON string block.
+- **Expected**: `ChatViewModel` dynamically appends this block to the persona's `ChatMessage.system` block at initialization.
+- **Test**: `testFeature2_ToolSchemaInjection` verifies that the `system` message contains `"mempalace_search"`.
+
+## Feature 3: LLM Output Tool Parsing 
+- **Action**: Add `extractToolCall(from:)` to `ExtractionService`.
+- **Expected**: Given an LLM output containing `<tool_call>{"name": "mempalace_search", "parameters": {"wing": "test", "query": "auth"}}</tool_call>`, it returns a structured Swift object containing the name and parameters dictionary.
+- **Test**: `testFeature3_ToolCallExtraction` verifies valid and hallucinated JSON edge cases inside `<tool_call>` tags.
+
+## Feature 4: ChatViewModel Autonomous Tool Execution Loop
+- **Action**: Modify `ChatViewModel.send()`. If `extractToolCall` detects a tool call midway through generation, the UI hides the `<tool_call>` text.
+- **Expected**: `ChatViewModel` cleanly halts user-facing generation, natively executes `MemoryPalaceTools.handleToolCall`, appends the tool response as `ChatMessage(role: .tool, content: result)`, and autonomously triggers `generate()` again to let the LLM see the tool result and answer the user.
+- **Test**: `testFeature4_ToolExecutionLoopAsync` mocks an inference stream emitting a tool call and verifies the engine triggers the sequence autonomously.
