Thinking Path

Two research passes finished today and neither reached git. Both were written straight into the main working tree, which is supposed to stay read-only, and both were then stranded — one by a session ending, one by its author realising it before pushing. The first was minutes from being lost with a /tmp wipe; I copied it to durable storage at the time and it has been sitting there since.

They ride together because they are the same scope — docs/research/, two new documents and the two index rows that link them — not because batching was convenient. A doc-only PR is the honest shape for this, and folding them into an unrelated in-flight PR would have hidden documentation inside a release-pipeline change and staled its approval.

What Changed

Source names are kept out of both documents per the research-skill anonymisation rule.

Verification

Both files scanned for internal information before committing — IP addresses, internal filesystem paths, Bearer tokens, credential-shaped assignments. Zero matches in either.

The index was rebuilt from origin/main's copy and both rows appended, rather than taking either author's working version — each had edited the file from a different base, so committing one would have reverted the other.

Both documents are prose about code, not code. Nothing here executes, and the issues they generated were filed and are being worked independently of this merge.

Model Used

Claude Opus 5 (coordinator session). Research by autobot-ai-01 (document conversion) and autobot-ai-35 (voice pipeline).

Single-issue rationale

Not applicable — no issue is closed here. These are the evidence documents behind issues filed separately. Refs only.

Refs #16772, #16805, #16806, #16807.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added research documents to the Documents index.
    • Documented document-to-Markdown conversion approaches, including format detection, security considerations, extensibility, archive handling, limitations, and operational costs.
    • Added an analysis of streaming voice-agent architectures, covering real-time processing, provider abstractions, failover, turn-taking, interruption handling, observability, and operational considerations.
    • Recorded comparative findings, existing strengths, identified gaps, and potential improvement areas for future planning.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds two research reports and links them from the research index. The reports compare document conversion and streaming voice-agent architectures with AutoBot, and record identified gaps and proposed follow-up areas.

Correct the stale status in the research index.

docs/research/document-to-markdown-conversion-pipeline.md contains a completed AutoBot Comparison section and records issues #16772–#16775. The index still says AutoBot comparison not started. Update the description to match the report.

Restore the full repository paths in the affected-files table.

Line 205 omits autobot-backend/ from chat_workflow/manager.py. Line 206 omits it from llm_shared/provider_degradation.py. Earlier sections use the full paths. Use autobot-backend/chat_workflow/manager.py and autobot-backend/llm_shared/provider_degradation.py.
