The reprocess endpoint poked transport_enqueue while its request session
was still uncommitted; the inline worker woke instantly, read the job row
with its own session, and summarized with the PREVIOUS click's tone
(TRACE: click Funny -> worker read 'dry, witty'; click Neutral -> ran
'funny'). The UI disabled the voice chips for the whole wrong-voice run,
which read as 'spinner does nothing until I leave and come back'.
Rows are the real queue: commit before the poke. Regression test pins
worker tone to the requested tone and Neutral clearing a prior voice;
verified red without the fix, green with it.
Replace the char-count estimate (EST_OUTPUT_CHARS) with ContractProgress:
points are earned only when real output units complete — first token (5),
each closed contract key / array item (5-90), root closed (95), stored (100).
Reasoning/thinking streams no longer fake progress: the first thinking
delta fires the first-token milestone ('the model is alive') and holds.
Surface the job's tone through ProcessingJobOut/JobInfo so the bar can
label itself 'Summarizing dry wit…'. Test rewritten to pin the new
honest-thinking semantics.
POST /reprocess?job=summarize&tone=<voice> persists the voice on the job
row (queue carries only ids, so a sweep re-enqueue keeps it), the LLM
prompt appends 'write every field in a <tone> tone — the tone colors
the wording, never the facts', and the resulting summary records its
tone (SummaryOut.tone). Plain re-summarize clears a previous tone.

- shared/ = portable Android-origin sources vendored from deferred/desktop-server
(app/build.gradle.kts srcDir repointed; PlaybackController.kt excluded as Android-only)
- backend/ = bundled-lite engine (SQLite + inline queue); .venv symlinked from the
old checkout, PYTHONPATH pins THIS backend's code over any editable install
- repoRoot() resolves this project dir (env SHONAR_REPO still wins); desktop-dev.sh
watches shared/ + backend/
- Verified: :app:compileKotlin + :app:test green (23 tests); engine boots on :8010,
self-migrates, /healthz ok
