+
+### Added
+- **LiveKit service integration** - Complete support for LiveKit as a managed service
+  - Install/uninstall LiveKit server with `voice-mode livekit install/uninstall`
+  - Service management commands: `start/stop/status/restart/enable/disable/logs`
+  - Frontend management for LiveKit Voice Assistant UI
+  - Configurable host/port settings for frontend
+  - SSL configuration examples and documentation
+  - Production-ready frontend build support
+  - Bash completions for all new commands
+- **Service installation in install.sh** - Automated service setup during installation
+  - Offers to install Whisper, Kokoro, and LiveKit services
+  - Quick mode (Y) installs all services automatically
+  - Selective mode (s) allows choosing individual services
+  - Uses `uvx voice-mode` for robust operation on fresh systems
+  - Cross-platform support for Linux and macOS
+- **Install.sh automated testing** - Comprehensive test suite (temporarily skipped)
+  - Unit tests for individual bash functions
+  - Functional tests with environment mocking
+  - Integration tests for complete installation flows
+  - Foundation for future testing improvements
+- **Documentation improvements**
+  - YubiKey touch detector setup guide
+  - LiveKit SSL configuration examples
+  - Install.sh robustness analysis
+  - Service installation feature documentation
+
+### Fixed
+- **LiveKit local development** - Added dummy API key support for local services
+- **Frontend dependency handling** - Improved error messages and dependency resolution
+- **Service enable command** - Resolved frontend service enable command issues
+- **LiveKit WebSocket URL** - Hardcoded to wss://x1:8443 for reliable connections
+
+### Changed
+- **Whisper default port** - Updated from 2000 to 2022 in shell aliases

+# Web Voice Assistant
+
+This is a starter template for [LiveKit Agents](https://docs.livekit.io/agents) that provides a simple voice interface using the [LiveKit JavaScript SDK](https://github.com/livekit/client-sdk-js). It supports [voice](https://docs.livekit.io/agents/start/voice-ai), [transcriptions](https://docs.livekit.io/agents/build/text/), and [virtual avatars](https://docs.livekit.io/agents/integrations/avatar).
+
+This template is built with Next.js and is free for you to use or modify as you see fit.
+
+![App screenshot](/.github/assets/frontend-screenshot.jpeg)
+
+## Getting started
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you'd like to try this application without modification, you can deploy an instance in just a few clicks with [LiveKit Cloud Sandbox](https://cloud.livekit.io/projects/p_/sandbox/templates/voice-assistant-frontend).
+
+Run the following command to automatically clone this template.
+
+```bash
+lk app create --template voice-assistant-frontend
+```
+
+Then run the app with:
+
+```bash
+pnpm install
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+And open http://127.0.0.1:3000 in your browser.
+
+You'll also need an agent to speak with. Try our [Voice AI Quickstart](https://docs.livekit.io/start/voice-ai) for the easiest way to get started.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If you need to modify the LiveKit project credentials used, you can edit `.env.local` (copy from `.env.local.example` if you don't have one) to suit your needs.
+
+## Password Protection
+
+This frontend now includes password protection to prevent unauthorized access. To configure:
+
+1. Copy `.env.local.example` to `.env.local`
+2. Set `LIVEKIT_ACCESS_PASSWORD` to your desired password
+3. Share this password only with authorized users
+
+Users will need to enter the password before they can start a conversation. The default password is `voicemode123` but you should change this for production use.
+
+## Contributing
+
+This template is open source and we welcome contributions! Please open a PR or issue through GitHub, and don't forget to join us in the [LiveKit Community Slack](https://livekit.io/join-slack)!
