+## 6.86.0 - Decision, promise and follow-up cues, live cues on Mac recordings, and the grey provisional line
+
+The server half of COS Control's live meeting view (plan of 2026-10-22, decisions of 15:21). Three lanes: three more cue
+kinds from the same single writer call, live cues on Mac recordings when COS Control asks for them, and the newest
+provisional (grey) line of a live meeting for Control to show before the final text replaces it.
+
+- **This adds spend for Mac meetings.** Until now a Mac recording never got live cues. From this release, a Mac
+  recording that COS Control starts with `liveCues: true` runs the live cues pipeline (the Jev gate and judge, and the
+  one Claude writer call per evaluation) for that meeting. It is capped by the same budgets as every meeting: the
+  master switch (COS Control's Live cues toggle, or `COS_LIVE_CUES_V2`), 25 cues and 50 writer calls a meeting, the
+  daily writer ceiling and gate COS Control sets, the weekly writer ceiling, the Jev daily token cap and breaker, and
+  the per-meeting breaker. There is no new LLM caller. `COS_LIVE_CUES_V2_MAC=0` switches Mac recordings off on their
+  own (answer `mac_cues_off`) and leaves glasses meetings alone. An older COS Control never sends `liveCues`, so it
+  starts no Mac cues and spends nothing new.
+- **Pairs with the COS Control live meeting view** (the Control half ships separately). An older Control and every
+  companion are unaffected: glasses meetings keep reinforce and challenge, byte-identical writer rules, and the
+  same wire shapes.
+- **Privacy: five more log lines stop printing what was said.** 6.85.0 took the text out of the per-chunk
+  `[perf] TOTAL` line. Five others still printed it: the three `[hallucination]` lines (a dropped brand URL, thank-you
+  or vocabulary echo, and a chunk the filter emptied, each with up to 60 characters of the chunk), the dictation
+  `[prompt-draft] tail_drop` line (up to 100 characters of the dropped sentence) and `[fuzzy-correct]` (the misheard
+  word and its correction, up to five pairs). Each now logs its reason and a character count; fuzzy-correct logs how
+  many words it fixed. `transcript-log-privacy-686.test.ts` scans every server and shared source for a console call
+  that prints a slice of transcript text, and drives fuzzy-correct; restoring each of the five old lines fails it
+  (5 of 5). Nothing new logs transcript text, and the provisional line is held in memory only, never written to disk
+  or the log.
+- **Checks (6.86.0 branch).** Full suite, serial (`--maxWorkers=1`), HOME, COS_DATA_DIR and COS_PROFILE_PATH in a
+  scratch folder, COS_SCRIPTS_DIR unset: 582 files (581 passed, 1 skipped), 8800 tests, 8786 passed, 14 skipped, 0
+  failed (re-run after the log-line fix). Mutation gate `live-meeting-6860-mutation-gate.mjs` against a green baseline (159 tests in 7 files): 63 of
+  63 killed, each by a named test, every target landing exactly once and restored byte for byte. The 6.79.x verdicts
+  gate's `schema-kind` mutant, retargeted to `isCueKind`, is still killed. `tsc --noEmit` clean. `npm pack --dry-run`:
+  545 files (6.85.0's 543 plus `server/lib/live-provisional.ts` and `server/lib/live-cues-v2-prompts-kinds.ts`), no
+  test, gate or fixture.
+
+### Cue kinds: decision, promise and followUp
+
+- **`CueKind`** (`shared/live-cues-v2.ts`) is now `reinforce | challenge | decision | promise | followUp`, with
+  `CUE_KINDS`, `LEGACY_CUE_KINDS`, `isCueKind` and `legacyCueKind`. `isLiveCueV2` and the cue log reader accept the
+  five kinds and still refuse anything else.
+- **Opt-in per meeting.** A meeting gets the new kinds only when its armer asks: a Mac recording (`mac_` capture id)
+  by default, or `POST /api/live-cues/start {sessionId, kinds: 'extended'}`. `kinds: 'legacy'` forces the two old
+  kinds; any other value is 400 `invalid_kinds` and arms nothing. A glasses meeting armed as before keeps reinforce and
+  challenge: a companion that has not taken the new contract validates `kind` against those two and would drop
+  anything else. The arm answer adds `kinds` (the list this meeting may carry). A repeat arm keeps the first kinds.
+- **Writer rules v4** (`server/lib/live-cues-v2-prompts-kinds.ts`) run only for those meetings: v3 with rule 3 (five
+  kinds: a decision says what was decided, a promise says who owes what, a followUp names what is still open), rule 4
+  (a decision, promise or followUp may record what the room said) and the schema kind list swapped. Everything else
+  is v3: one cue, at most 200 characters, the same evidence rules, null for noise. Built from v3 by exact swaps, so a
+  regenerated v3 fails the suite instead of shipping under the v4 label. Not replay-measured; rate them in Control.
+  The generated `live-cues-v2-prompts.ts` is unchanged, so the v2 and v3 replay pins hold.
+- **Old readers.** The v1 `coaching_nudge` twin and the stop answer's `nudges[].type` carry a legacy type (decision
+  and promise read as reinforce, followUp as challenge). The v2 cue, the status route and history keep the real kind.
+  COS Control before this release shows an unknown kind as its raw name (`MeetingAskCore.kindLabel` default).
+- **Trace.** An evaluation of an extended meeting traces `kindSet: 'extended'` and `prompt: 'v4'`; the trace still
+  carries no transcript text.
+
+### Live cues on Mac recordings
+
+- **Arm point.** `POST /api/mac-recording/start {captureId, startTime, sourceType, liveCues: true}`. Arming runs only
+  after the recording is admitted, and never fails the start: the answer adds `liveCues: {armed: true, kinds,
+  cuesGenerated, paused, pauseSeq}` or `{armed: false, reason}` (`master_flag_off`, `mac_cues_off`, `meeting_ended`,
+  `budget_exhausted`, `jev_cap_reached`, and the other capability reasons). With v2 off the engine is never built,
+  so a Mac recording never reaches the v1 Composer path. `liveCues` that is not a boolean is 400 `invalid_live_cues`
+  before anything is written. Without `liveCues` the answer is byte for byte 6.85.0's.
+- **Resume.** A Mac recording armed from the start route is remembered in `live-cues-v2-state.json` (`resume`, with
+  its kinds). A restarted server re-arms it on its next chunk and traces one `resume` row. Cleared when the meeting
+  ends; expires with the counters (24 h).
+- **Title.** Mac meetings are titled `Mac Recording <date> <time>` in the gate, the writer prompt and the cue log.
+- **Pause and stop** are the existing routes: `POST /api/live-cues/pause` and the save, which ends the meeting's
+  cues through `recording_stop`.
+
+### The grey provisional line
+
+- **Route.** `GET /api/transcribe-stream/provisional?sessionId=<id>` (token-protected, `private, no-store`) answers
+  `{v: 1, sessionId, live, provisional: {chunkIndex, previewGen, text, model, at} | null, serverInstanceId}`.
+- **What it holds.** The newest preview the preview route produced for a session this server holds open, one per
+  meeting: a later chunk, or the same chunk with a later `previewGen`, replaces it; a preview for a chunk that already
+  settled is refused. The canonical answer for that chunk (text, silence or a drop) removes it, and so does any close.
+  Bounded: the last 600 characters, 8 meetings, 30 s without an update reads as none.
+- **Why a route and not the active-session file.** That file is the 4-hour crash-recovery record and is written with
+  fsync before each chunk is acknowledged. Provisional text must not outlive the live session, and writing the file
+  per preview would add a durable write on the recording path and churn the stamp Control uses to skip reads.
+- **Mac recordings.** COS Control does not post previews today, so a Mac recording has no provisional text until it
+  does. The minimal path needs no server change: Control posts a copy of the still-open chunk (canonical 16 kHz mono
+  WAV, at most 512 KB, about 16 s) to the existing `POST /api/transcribe-stream/preview` with the capture id, the open
+  chunk index and a rising `previewGen`. The answer carries the text, and the route above serves it too. Preview runs
+  Whisper Turbo (or Parakeet when selected); transcription never calls an LLM.
+
+### Capabilities
+
+- `capabilities.liveCues.kinds`: the five kinds, beside the unchanged v1 `available` and `reason`.
+- `capabilities.liveMeeting: {protocol: 1, macLiveCues: true, provisional: {route, maxChars: 600, ttlMs: 30000}}`.
+- Both on `/api/health` and `/api/models` from one helper. An older server omits them, which is how COS Control knows
+  to hide the inline kinds, skip `liveCues` on the Mac start and skip the grey line.

 - Where it runs. Once per saved meeting, in the durable finalization job after the HQ batch text and the Nemotron relabel are written, and before the meeting is handed to COS operations or summarised, so both read the cleaned text. Orphan recovery runs it too. Never during live transcription: it is a separate module no transcription file imports (pinned by a test), and a meeting whose session is still live is skipped. It never fails a save.
 - Selection, no model (`transcript-cleanup-spans.ts`): low confidence (Parakeet below 0.50, Whisper below 0.40, from the batch words in the sidecar, aligned to the saved transcript); a word near a known name when the engine was unsure of it (below 0.9: one edit past fuzzy-correct's limit for a capitalised word, or the same consonant skeleton and onset, so eucoma reads like Ukaoma); two or three short pieces that join into a name ("U coma"), never function words; the leading-y rule at any confidence ("Yukoma"); an out-of-vocabulary capital mid-sentence beside a known name; a phrase repeated three times or more. Spans stay inside one speaker turn and one clause, hold at most 6 words (12 for a repeat), carry 12 words of context each side, and are cut to 40 per meeting with names first.
 - Deterministic fixes first, free (fuzzy-correct's own rule, exported as `fuzzyReplacementFor`): only capitalised words that are not already a known spelling; this meeting's own screen and file terms as a temporary per-meeting vocabulary at any confidence; the curated dictionary (vocabulary and corrections) and the owner only where the engine was unsure; never an inflection ("Setting" is never a "Settings" button). Measured read-only on 68 real meetings (38.5 hours): rewriting lowercase words, or using every enrolled name as a target, swapped everyday words and real names for other names (giant to grant, Kelsey to Kelley, Slack to Black), so neither is done; with these rules the same meetings got 27 fixes, all real (Manuj to Manoj, MarketPOS to MarktPOS).

 - When SubQ serves cues, the live transcript window (up to 2,200 characters per call) and the candidate notes go to SubQ, which retains data by default.
 - Capability additions (optional fields; `shared/live-cues-v2.ts` changed additively, new sha256 174728e7...): `memory` (`cue_memory`, `notes` or `none`) and `decisionProvider` (`jev` or `subq`). New reasons: `decision_not_configured` (no key for the chosen provider; `jev_not_configured` is kept for Jev chosen while only a SubQ key exists), `decision_cap_reached`, `decision_breaker_open` (SubQ) and `decision_invalid_provider`. The same decision codes stop a running meeting's cues quietly with that reason; other SubQ errors count toward the meeting breaker as Jev errors do.
 - Live COS Ask finds the owner's notes too. When `searchMemories` does not answer (it fails, its meaning arm fails as on the public runtime, or it finds nothing), the Ask's COS search also reads the memory bridge listing and matches it with the same keyword scorer, the same 0.35 floor and the same confirmed-domain filter as other COS hits, fused by rank with any memory hits (at most 3 memory sources). Listed notes are cited as COS memory sources (H ids, `memoryId`), counted in the `cos_search` phase time and result count, and the notices add "COS also searched the notes in its memory list by keyword." whenever one is cited. The listing is bounded at 3 s and the Ask's own cancel; a failed listing changes nothing. A memory search that answers is used exactly as before, the same sources in the same order and key order, and the listing is never read. With nothing found in either, the notices are the existing empty wording, word for word. On the public runtime this lets the 6.76.0 person lookup ("Who is X?") answer from the owner's note. One helper serves both cues and the Ask: `server/lib/cos-bridge-notes.ts` (bridge listing, keyword scoring, local dates, rank fusion).

It is cited with an H id like other COS history, returned in `sources` when cited, and named "COS profile" on the lens From line. No profile name: no card, and the prompt is byte-for-byte as before.

 - An empty COS lookup is never proof of absence. The prompt lists each COS lookup with its result count, the notices say what was searched, and an answer that reads as "nothing about X" after an empty lookup gets one sentence saying what COS searched and that this does not mean COS has nothing on it.
 - Latency, measured on Miles's Mac before changing anything: "through 210666 ms" and "288457 ms" in the report are `throughMs`, the meeting position when the question was asked (3:30 and 4:48 into the recording), not how long the answer took. The 98 completed Asks in the journal took 3.2 s to 24.3 s (median 6.7 s), and the durable runtime stops any Ask at 30 s. Per model call (the live server's token audit since 2026-10-10): Sonnet median 4.6 s, max 9.4 s (n=121); Opus median 6.1 s, max 12.3 s (n=11); Haiku median 3.8 s, max 7.0 s (n=10); web search median 9.1 s, max 10.5 s (n=10).
