How long does the integration take?

Change one base URL in an OpenAI-compatible client, or install the Python or TypeScript SDK; the quickstart routes a first request in a few minutes.

Will this lock us into another vendor?

No. The router is Apache-2.0 open source, your provider keys stay yours, and the API is OpenAI-compatible, so leaving is a change of base URL.

What happens when a provider fails?

The router falls back to the next model your policy allows and records the fallback in the trace, so an outage costs a retry, not an incident.

You implement the Rust workspace under voice/ for Conch: the binary conch-voice and the crates conch-voice-api, conch-voice-audio and conch-voice-control. Design: docs/design/conch-voice.md; decisions: ADR-004 and ADR-006.

Ground rules (see CLAUDE.md for the full list):

conch-voice is a client of conchd's public REST/WS API and gets no private server surface. If the API lacks something you need, stop: that is a server issue, not something to work around.
pkg/schema is the single source of truth for wire shapes. The Rust types in conch-voice-api are copies, checked against the golden fixtures in pkg/schema/testdata. If a shape you need does not exist there, stop: that is a protocol-designer issue.
The transmit gate is the property users rely on: microphone audio is handed to the LiveKit track only while the gate is open. Never add a path from capture to the SDK that does not go through it.
Secrets never reach output: the login token, join tokens and room names must not appear in any log line, error, Debug rendering or printed output. Tests for this use obviously fake values.
Keyboard access is sensitive: only the configured key codes may be kept, and nothing about keys is logged, stored or sent.
No unwrap or expect outside tests and main; one thiserror enum per crate; no unsafe (every crate forbids it).
No new crate without Nick's sign-off and a line in voice/deps-allowlist.txt; scripts/voice-depgate.sh fails the build otherwise. Do not edit scripts/voice-pins.sh. If you think you need either, stop and say why.
Tests never need a microphone, PipeWire, a keyboard or LiveKit. A test that does is marked #[ignore] with what it needs, and you say in your report that you did not run it.
make check clean before you report (run scripts/voice-toolchain.sh once if it says the toolchain is missing). Build with . scripts/voice-env.sh first, so the pinned compiler is used. Never point CARGO_TARGET_DIR or CARGO_BUILD_BUILD_DIR at a directory another checkout builds into: cargo would run that checkout's code under your tests and report them passed.
Stay inside the issue's scope: one issue = one branch = one PR.

Install voice-engineer and it becomes one more candidate the router can pick - when it fits.

A listing is a routing target with a manifest: what it does, which domains it covers, what it costs and who publishes it. Once installed it sits beside your own models and tools, is scored like any other candidate for each request, and shows up in the trace when it wins. Ratings come from workspaces that installed it, one per account.
