The gateway was the composition root, device registry, inbound-call
policy, and call-operations service in one class, with core↔services
circular imports papered over by function-local imports, wiring done
by assigning private attributes, and MCP tools duplicating REST query
logic against their own sessions.
Composition:
- main.py's lifespan now builds every service and wires them by
constructor/registration. gateway.from_config() is gone; core/ no
longer imports services/ anywhere — the cycle is dead.
- Inbound-call policy moved to ReceptionistService.on_inbound_call
(routing evaluation, reject/answer, screening dispatch); wired as
the engine's on_incoming_call by the lifespan. Receptionist deps
(tts/transcription/recording/routing) are constructor-injected —
no more gateway._tts reach-through or importing hold_slayer's
private _get_llm (now services.llm_client.get_llm, shared).
- Hold-slayer launch goes through a mode-handler registry
(register_mode_handler); the gateway no longer knows the service's
type. CallManager takes on_call_ended in its constructor.
- build_sip_engine() is a pure function taking explicit callbacks.
- api/routing.py uses the routing service from app.state via a
proper dependency instead of gateway._routing.
Shared data layer:
- db.session_scope() is the one session convention (get_db wraps it).
- services/call_persistence.py gains the query/write functions and
the single StoredCallFlow→CallFlow mapper; api/call_flows.py,
api/call_history.py, and the six DB-touching MCP tools are thin
wrappers over them — the two surfaces can't drift.
- legs_for_call() replaces the three private _call_legs scans
(gateway transfer/hangup, REST dtmf, MCP dtmf).
7 new tests (mode-handler launch, on_call_ended hook, receptionist
inbound answer/reject, call-flow CRUD round-trip and history routes
against real SQLite through the shared layer). aiosqlite added to dev
deps for that.

Three thread domains were mutating shared dicts with no locks: Sippy's
ED thread wrote _legs/_registered_devices directly from SIP handlers,
the asyncio loop wrote them from make_call/hangup, and
run_in_executor(None, ...) had default-pool threads driving sippy UA
objects. AudioTap.feed() pushed into an asyncio.Queue (not
thread-safe) from the PJSUA2 thread.
New ownership rule, enforced structurally:
- The asyncio loop owns all app-visible state; the only mutator is the
new _on_engine_event funnel. Sippy handlers extract plain strings on
the ED thread and post via run_coroutine_threadsafe.
- The ED thread owns sippy objects plus _ed_ua_to_leg/_ed_leg_to_ua;
loop-side commands (INVITE/BYE/DTMF/trunk register) hop over via
ED2.callFromThread. UA references no longer live on SipCallLeg.
- AudioTap captures its loop and feed() hops via call_soon_threadsafe.
- Fix ED import: installed sippy 2.x exposes ED2, not ED — the old
import could never start the event loop.
Also:
- Wire the never-connected on_leg_state_change callback: outbound
ringing/connected/terminated now reaches CallManager; a call ends
when its last leg terminates (transfers keep it alive). Adds
CallManager.unmap_leg/legs_for_call.
- AudioClassifier.classify(): async entry that runs the FFT work in
asyncio.to_thread and updates history on the loop — all four
hold_slayer call sites now route through it, fixing both the
loop-blocking and the 2-of-4 history gap. DTMF Goertzel loop
replaced by the equivalent vectorized DFT-bin power.
- Task hygiene: gateway.spawn() tracks hold-slayer/receptionist tasks
and stop() cancels them; recording safety-timeout task is retained
and cancelled on stop_recording; engine tracks incoming-call
dispatch tasks.
10 new tests: funnel events from a foreign thread, auto-answer
fallback, AudioTap cross-thread feed, classifier history, leg-state →
call status (including no stomping of ON_HOLD), stop() cancellation.

Adds read-only access to persisted call records for the dashboard
and implements a client for the Rhema text-to-speech service.
- api/call_history.py: New router providing paged call lists
and detailed call records with transcript metadata.
- services/tts.py: Async client for OpenAI-compatible TTS
endpoints (Rhema/Kokoro) used for call-flow steps.
Complete project scaffolding and core implementation of an AI-powered
telephony system that calls companies, navigates IVR menus, waits on
hold, and transfers to the user when a human answers.
Key components:
- FastAPI server with REST API, WebSocket, and MCP (SSE) interfaces
- SIP/VoIP call management via PJSUA2 with RTP audio streaming
- LLM-powered IVR navigation using OpenAI/Anthropic with tool calling
- Hold detection service combining audio analysis and silence detection
- Real-time STT (Whisper/Deepgram) and TTS (OpenAI/Piper) pipelines
- Call recording with per-channel and mixed audio capture
- Event bus (asyncio pub/sub) for real-time client updates
- Web dashboard with live call monitoring
- SQLite persistence via SQLAlchemy with call history and analytics
- Notification support (email, SMS, webhook, desktop)
- Docker Compose deployment with Opal VoIP and Opal Media containers
- Comprehensive test suite with unit, integration, and E2E tests
- Simplified .gitignore and full project documentation in README
