feat(telegram): voice-out via ElevenLabs TTS + shared TTS foundation (#25)

[dolho]

Summary

First slice of epic #24 (outbound voice across channels): Telegram voice-out. Builds the shared TTS foundation that Slack (#26) and WhatsApp (trinity-enterprise#56) reuse unchanged, then wires Telegram as the first consumer.

Shared foundation (epic #24)

• services/tts_service.py — one provider-agnostic TTS layer. ElevenLabs synth → ffmpeg MP3→OGG/Opus transcode (the chat voice-note codec) → OGG bytes. Shared char cost-cap (TTS_MAX_CHARS, default 1500). Fail-soft everywhere — every path returns None on any problem (no key, over cap, provider/transcode error, ffmpeg missing) so the caller delivers text. Voice is strictly additive.
• Shared agent-level config (no per-channel column sprawl, per Consistent context usage tracking for stateless executions #56): agent_ownership.tts_voice_replies_enabled + tts_voice_id via a new TtsMixin. Dual-track migration (SQLite db/migrations.py + Alembic 0011), schema.py + tables.py.
• GET/PUT /api/agents/{name}/voice-replies (owner-only; enabling requires a voice_id; GET exposes available = platform key present).
• ffmpeg added to the backend image; ELEVENLABS_API_KEY / ELEVENLABS_MODEL_ID / TTS_MAX_CHARS in config + .env.example.

Telegram wiring (#25)

• telegram_adapter._send_voice (Telegram sendVoice, multipart OGG) + a voice branch in send_response: when enabled with a voice id, speak the reply; fall back to text on any miss.
• UI: voice-replies toggle + ElevenLabs voice-id field in the Sharing → Telegram panel.

Design decisions (confirmed)

• Config home: shared agent-level primitive (not per-binding) — one config all channels reuse.
• Trigger policy: Always-when-enabled. Mirror is infeasible — Telegram voice-in isn't implemented, so there's no inbound-voice signal to mirror.
• Format: ffmpeg → OGG/Opus (native voice-note bubble; also what Consistent context usage tracking for stateless executions #56 needs).
• Voice selection: paste ElevenLabs voice id (validated on save).
• OSS core, ungated — channels live in OSS; the issue carries no entitlement.

Test plan

• tts_service: cost-cap / no-key / no-voice / empty / provider-error / success; transcode success + ffmpeg-missing + nonzero-rc; end-to-end + short-circuit — 16 tests pass.
• Adapter voice branch: disabled → no send; success → sendVoice; TTS None → text fallback.
• Schema/migration parity green (test_schema_parity, test_migrations, alembic guard); 48 telegram tests pass; app wiring imports clean under conftest.
• Live end-to-end against a real ElevenLabs key + Telegram bot (needs a key; not exercised locally).

Notes

• #56 (WhatsApp voice-out) was un-claimed back to status-ready — it's blocked on this shared layer and will ride it once merged.
• #25 was status-incubating with open design questions; promoted to status-in-progress after the decisions above.

⚠️ Nightly unit-suite check skipped — merge conflict against dev.

Resolve by running git merge dev locally and pushing the result. The next nightly run will re-test once the conflict is gone.

PR Validation Report (/validate-pr)

PR: #1397 — feat(telegram): voice-out via ElevenLabs TTS + shared TTS foundation
Author: dolho · Branch: feature/25-telegram-voice-out → dev · Files: 18 → 20 (+793/−2)

Category	Status	Notes
Commit Messages	✅	conventional feat/test prefixes, descriptive
Base Branch	✅	targets dev
PR Size	✅	20 files
Status Auto-Promotion	⚠️	body says "Related to trinity-enterprise#25" — no closing keyword; cross-tracker anyway, so manual status-in-dev bump on ent#25 after merge
Requirements	⚠️	new capability, requirements.md not updated (epic #24 entry) — non-blocking per merge directive; fold into a follow-up slice
Architecture	✅	architecture.md updated (endpoint + service + schema)
Feature Flows	⚠️	no flow doc; acceptable for first slice, architecture carries the design
Security Check	✅	no keys/emails/IPs/secrets/cred files in diff; key never logged
Infrastructure	✅	ffmpeg added to backend image — justified in body
Build Packaging	✅	no new top-level backend modules; services/+db/ copied wholesale
Config Packaging	❌→✅	ELEVENLABS_API_KEY/ELEVENLABS_MODEL_ID/TTS_MAX_CHARS were wired into neither compose file (#1056/#1039 class — feature unreachable on deploy). Fixed on-branch in 8753600; .env.example was already documented
Schema/Migrations	✅	dual-track: SQLite agent_ownership_tts_voice + Alembic 0011 (parented on 0010), schema.py/tables.py updated — Alembic revision present (the schema-parity blind spot checked manually)
Test Adequacy	✅	19 tests incl. non-happy paths: no-key, over-cap, provider error, ffmpeg missing/nonzero-rc, TTS-None→text fallback; pytest green on 6 seeds
Code Quality	✅	Invariants #1/#2/#8/#14 followed (router→service→db, TtsMixin, OwnedAgentByName on PUT, model in models.py); fail-soft everywhere; audit-logged config change

Recommendation: APPROVE (after the on-branch packaging fix)

Suggestions (non-blocking):

• to_ogg_opus has no timeout on proc.communicate() — a wedged ffmpeg would hang the adapter send; consider asyncio.wait_for(..., 30) in a follow-up.
• PR body says voice id is "validated on save" but the PUT only checks non-empty — either validate against ElevenLabs or drop the claim.
• After merge: manually set status-in-dev on trinity-enterprise#25 (cross-tracker refs never auto-promote).

Validated via /validate-pr — see report comment. Compose packaging gap fixed on-branch (8753600); everything else clean. Approving; merging once CI re-runs green.
