+# Plan — Postman James voice lines
+
+- **Status:** Proposed
+- **Effort:** Medium
+- **Firebase services:** Cloud Storage, Remote Config (asset index)
+
+## Overview
+
+Give James an optional voiced layer. Short MP3/OGG lines are hosted in Cloud Storage, downloaded lazily, and cached on device. Keeps the APK small while allowing new lines to ship without an app release.
+
+## Asset pipeline
+
+- Each James line has an id (e.g. `idle_rain_01`).
+- Audio recorded by a voice artist; normalise to -16 LUFS; export OGG Opus 24 kbps (~20 KB per line).
+- Stored at `james-audio/{locale}/{lineId}.ogg`.
+- An `index.json` at `james-audio/{locale}/index.json` lists `{ lineId: { path, durationMs, hash } }`.
+- Remote Config param `james_audio_index_url_{locale}` points at the index (versioned).
+
+## Client
+
+- `lib/services/james_audio_service.dart`:
+  - Fetch index on login, cache locally.
+  - When `JamesController` shows a line with a known id, start async download-if-missing and `just_audio` playback.
+  - LRU on-device cache (30 MB max).
+- User toggle in settings: "James speaks aloud" (default OFF so we don't surprise users).
+- Respect device silent mode.
+
+## Text ↔ audio mapping
+
+- Extend `lib/james_messages.dart` entries with an optional `audioId`.
+- Fall back silently to text-only if the audio is missing or the device can't reach storage.
+
+## Rollout
+
+- Ship with a small starter set (10 lines) behind flag `feature_james_audio`.
+- Add new lines via console upload + Remote Config bump, no client release needed.
+
+## Risks
+
+- Accessibility: never replace text with audio alone — always show the line.
+- Data usage — pre-warm only after Wi-Fi detected; respect "data saver".
+- Licensing: secure written release from the voice artist.
+
+## Testing
+
+- Unit test the LRU cache eviction.
+- Integration test index fetch + single playback in a headless Flutter test using a fake `AudioPlayer`.
