Clitronic started as a voice first electronics assistant. The new version is also a bench for experimenting with the mechanics of realtime conversation. I wanted to pull realtime voice apart without the whole conversation falling apart. Realtime now owns microphone transport, VAD and transcription only. It does not generate a second assistant answer. A single validated structured response commits the card, history, captions and exact speech. If the contract fails, nothing leaks through. Every asynchronous result has an owner. Barge in and the old request and speech are cancelled before the new turn can land. That separation is the fun part. I can swap the listener, renderer, speech or image resolver, then measure the result against a 41-case quality loop without changing the semantic spine.
