AI Agent Instructions for VoxVera

This guide is for AI agents (like Gemini, Claude, or GPT) contributing to the VoxVera project. Follow these protocols to maintain the architectural integrity and multi-language support.

Core Mandates

1. Security-First: VoxVera is a Tor-based tool. Never suggest features that leak IP addresses or use non-Tor external resources (CDNs, etc.).
2. Local-First: All assets (fonts, dependencies, binaries) must be self-contained within the voxvera/ package to support the Universal Mirroring model.
3. Tokenized UI: Never hardcode user-facing strings. Always add them to voxvera/locales/en.json and use the t('cli.token') helper.
4. Markdown Redaction: Use ~~text~~ in locale JSONs for strike-through effects. Both the build system and the JS engine handle the conversion to <span class="redacted"> automatically.
5. Visual Width Testing: When modifying UI or adding languages, verify that long or complex strings (e.g., Hindi ligatures or CJK characters) do not exceed the visual unit limits defined in the CLI.

Localization Protocol

When adding a new language or updating an existing one:

• CLI/Flyers: Update voxvera/locales/{lang}.json. Include meta, cli, web, and landing categories.
• Landing Page:
  • Directly update the const locales object in site/index.html.
  • Crucial: Run voxvera build-site to generate the latest portable bundle and refresh the pre-rendered HTML.
• Documentation:
  • Master templates live in docs/templates/.
  • Localized overrides live in voxvera/locales/{lang}/docs/.
  • Crucial: After any change to locales or templates, you MUST run voxvera build-docs to synchronize the output in docs/{en,es,de}/.

Universal Mirroring

VoxVera propagates through its own flyers.

• Every voxvera build and voxvera build-site generates voxvera-portable.zip.
• If you modify the core source code, ensure the bundle_portable function in voxvera/cli.py still correctly captures all necessary directories (especially vendor/, locales/, and resources/).

Verification Checklist

Before finishing a task, ensure you have:

1. Run unit tests: pytest tests/test_cli.py.
2. Verified the localization: voxvera --lang {lang} check.
3. Rebuilt the documentation: voxvera build-docs.
4. Synchronized the public site: voxvera build-site.
5. Verified the portable bundle exists: ls -l voxvera/host/*/download/voxvera-portable.zip and ls -l site/download/voxvera-portable.zip.

Follow these rules to ensure VoxVera remains a robust, viral, and decentralized tool for truth.
