 Telemetry event types are defined by a platform-generated wire contract (`src/telemetry/telemetry-wire.generated.ts`) that `src/telemetry/types.ts` layers over, with pre-flush validation against it. Adding a new event type starts platform-side, not here. The mechanics, the drift guards, and the cross-repo ordering are documented next to the code they govern: see [`src/telemetry/AGENTS.md`](src/telemetry/AGENTS.md).

 ## Code comments
 
 When writing or updating comments, **do not reference code that has been removed.** Comments should describe the current state of the codebase, not narrate its history. Avoid phrases like "no longer does X", "previously used Y", or "was removed in PR Z" — future readers should not need to understand past implementations to understand the current code.

Replies trigger only on utterance-boundary finals (for Deepgram, `speech_final`/`UtteranceEnd`, never mid-sentence `is_final` segments), and barge-in fires from local energy VAD, never from transcriber partials. While something is interruptible (an assistant turn in flight, thinking or speaking, or a completed turn's tail still playing from Twilio's buffer), caller speech arms the shared sustained-speech barge-in guard (`src/calls/barge-in-guard.ts`, the same accounting live voice uses: speech accumulates toward 250 ms, short gaps are tolerated, a run that is mostly silence resets) and every inbound frame feeds it; outside that window the guard is dropped, so the caller's own utterance never carries into a turn that starts before the local VAD ends it. Only a fired guard reaches `CallController.handleBargeIn`, which interrupts a turn in either phase and ignores an idle controller (the playing tail is cleared instead).
 - **Batch fallback**: otherwise the session segments turns with the energy-based `MediaTurnDetector` and transcribes each completed turn via the same role's batch API. Both halves of a call read the `telephony` role, which is why a role names its consumer rather than a boundary.
 
+Every phone turn runs the same two-leg triage as live voice through `startVoiceTurn` (`src/calls/voice-session-bridge.ts`): `call-controller.ts` opens on a toolless front-door leg (`routingLeg: "front-door"`, the `voiceFrontDoor` call site) and drives it through the shared `createFrontDoorLegCoordinator` (`src/calls/voice-leg-coordinator.ts`), which reads the stream through the verdict machine and sequences the hand-off (pause narration, abort the leg, resolve and speak the bridge, mark it as the floor holder, start the escalated leg pinned to the conversation's own model, re-arm narration); each driver supplies only a host for how text and the bridge are spoken, how a leg is started or aborted, and (live voice only) the speculative hold and commit. Phone has no partial transcripts, so the hold verdict is never taught and routing is escalate-only. The controller also passes the bridge's turn callbacks (tool activity is recorded as `tool_use_started` / `tool_use_completed` call events, persisted row ids ride the `assistant_spoke` event), `launchedAtMs` for dispatch timing, and a `voiceTelemetry` bag keyed by the call session with a `phone_inbound` / `phone_outbound` entry. Both drivers share the spoken progress narration cadence (`src/calls/voice-progress-cadence.ts`, tuned by `voice.frontModel.progress`): the cadence owns the tool-activity log, the triggers (an ops burst, a long operation completing, a full interval of audible silence with news, the `maxSilenceMs` heartbeat) and the generated or static phrase, while each driver supplies its own view of audible silence (live voice from its TTS queue and playback-tail estimate; the media-stream transport from `isPlaybackIdle()` and a running sum of sent frame durations) and how to speak a phrase.
+
 A credential preflight (`resolveTelephonyCredentialReadiness()` in `src/calls/telephony-credential-preflight.ts`) gates every call: it requires a credentialed, telephony-capable STT provider **and** a media-stream-playable TTS provider (the configured one or a credentialed playable fallback). Inbound calls that fail the preflight receive `<Say>` setup-required copy plus `<Hangup/>` instead of a doomed stream; outbound placement fails before dialing via `preflightVoiceIngress()` with the same user-facing message.

+Live voice TTS uses `streamLiveVoiceTtsAudio()` and the TTS provider that `resolveEffectiveSpeechProviders` settles on (the configured `services.tts.provider`, or the managed `vellum` provider when the configured one has no usable credentials).

 The `voiceFrontDoor` prompt skips current-turn legacy and v3 memory retrieval, while prior frozen memory cards and static memory context remain available. The front-door rule escalates rather than guessing when required personal context is absent. The escalated leg runs the ordinary memory pipeline against the latest visible caller prompt before the quality model, with low selector effort. This keeps memory work off the front-door TTFT path without cross-leg speculative state.

-A queued message commits to a run at its drain, not at its enqueue. The drains
-(`drainSingleMessage` and `drainBatch` in `conversation-process.ts`) stamp the
-queued sender the way `processMessage` stamps its committing actor, and re-scope
-the resident history to them, so a turn drained behind another actor's turn

-turn it cut off, and the resident history may carry the in-memory repair of the
-abandoned `tool_use`.
+The queue drains are deliberately not in that set. `drainSingleMessage` and
+`drainBatch` carry the queued sender on the per-turn field and into the run,
+and leave the resting slot alone: at the point they stamp, the drain has not
+yet proved it holds the processing lock. Its `isProcessing()` check is a
+time-of-check guard whose documented backstop is the persist that can still
+fail busy, and the requeue on that path restores the queue and the steer flag
+only. A drain that stamped the slot would therefore leave the conversation
+attributed to a sender whose turn never ran.
+
+The consequence is that a cross-actor drain runs against history scoped for the
+previous actor, because `ensureActorScopedHistory` reads the slot. That is a
+real defect and it is LUM-3344's, which owns the fix: scope the transcript at
+assembly time from the turn's actor, rather than mutating a shared transcript
+and tracking who it was scoped for. Do not close it by making the drain stamp
+the slot first.
 
 `call-controller` keeps its own `trustContext` on its own object and never reads
 the conversation's. It is outside this contract.

+- Terminal receipts that never passed the edge are cleared once for
