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.

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
