Clarify FillSilence location in architecture documentation #10

Description

Issue Type

Documentation Improvement

Severity

Low - Clarification needed

Problem Statement

Documentation needs to be consistent about the location of FillSilence utility:

  • Correct location: CLI (src/audio/utils/AudioUtils.cpp/h) - platform-specific
  • Incorrect location: Bridge (platform-agnostic C API) - should NOT contain platform-specific code

Context from Task #65

The architecture audit established these key principles:

  1. FillSilence lives in CLI (not bridge) - it's platform-specific
  2. Buffer/frame/sim code belongs in CLI
  3. IAudioPlatform is FUTURE iOS/ESP32 support (NOT abandoned)

Current Status

Documentation has been partially updated but should be audited to ensure:

  • All references to FillSilence correctly place it in CLI/utils
  • No contradictions remain
  • Bridge section correctly describes platform-agnostic nature
  • CLI section correctly describes platform-specific utilities

Files to Review

  • docs/AUDIO_MODULE_ARCHITECTURE.md - Check "Bridge Utility Pattern" section
  • docs/ARCHITECTURE_TODO.md - Check architecture notes
  • Any other documentation that mentions FillSilence or audio utilities

Acceptance Criteria

  • All documentation correctly places FillSilence in CLI/src/audio/utils
  • Bridge section emphasizes platform-agnostic nature (no FillSilence)
  • CLI section describes platform-specific utilities accurately
  • No contradictions about FillSilence location exist
