Praxis CI 30051fdfd6 feat(P01-03-03,P01-03-07): Pipecat Flows wiring + scenario-driven prompt
server/scenarios/runtime.py — ScenarioRuntime maps a Scenario to a Pipecat
Flows state-machine spec: initial 'conversation' state with the scenario's
system prompt + opening line, branch metadata carried in the spec (v0.1
has no in-flight transitions per G-002 — branching is post-hoc; Phase 2+
can fork without schema change). set_branch() resolves the branch outcome
from the classifier; debrief_focus() returns the per-branch focus.

TASK-03-07: server/pipeline.py build_pipeline() now accepts a scenario_id,
loads the runtime, and uses scenario.setup.system_prompt instead of the
SLICE-02 hardcoded walking-skeleton prompt. Falls back gracefully if the
scenario can't load. server/__main__.py passes
PRAXIS_SCENARIO=customer_service_refund_ca_v01 by default. 7 runtime tests
pass (system prompt, set_branch accept/escalate, unknown-branch error,
debrief_focus per branch, flows spec branches, debrief model config).

Praxis — v0.1 Foundation

Voice-first AI apprenticeship platform. v0.1 is a tech-validation harness (per G-008) for the minimal viable voice loop: a single learner speaks to an AI tutor playing a Customer Service role-play scenario, hears a <600ms-latency response, receives an end-of-session coaching debrief, and has the session logged to SQLite.

Status

Phase 1 (minimal viable voice loop) — code-complete, pending live API keys for runtime verification.

Stack

  • Orchestration: Pipecat (D-017) with Silero VAD + interruptibility
  • ASR: Deepgram Nova-3 streaming (D-013)
  • LLM: Ollama Cloud direct API (D-020) — gemma4:cloud (role-play) + deepseek-v4-flash:cloud no-think (debrief)
  • TTS: Cartesia Sonic (primary, D-014) / Piper (self-hosted, R4 mitigation) — behind an interface
  • Client: React + Vite + WebRTC (Pipecat client SDK, D-015)
  • State: SQLite praxis.db (D-007, single hardcoded learner, no auth)

Layout

server/      Pipecat pipeline, services (TTS/LLM/Guardrail interfaces), scenario runtime, adapters
client/      React + Vite + WebRTC learner surface
scenarios/   YAML scenario definitions (D-018)
db/          SQLite schema, migrations, async store
scripts/     Latency probes (R1-R4), e2e smoke
tests/       Unit + e2e
docs/        Latency report, debrief templates

Quickstart

  1. Copy .env.example.env, fill in DEEPGRAM_API_KEY, CARTESIA_API_KEY, OLLAMA_API_KEY.
  2. Install server deps: pip install -e ".[dev]"
  3. Install client deps: cd client && npm install
  4. Run probes: python scripts/probe_deepgram.py (etc.)
  5. Run server: python -m server
  6. Run client: cd client && npm run dev

See docs/latency-report.md for the R1-R4 spike status and TTS decision.
