Executive Summary

What We're Building

A modular voice ordering pipeline that decomposes the monolithic `VoiceOrderingService.swift` (2,464 lines) into 10 focused components:

#	Component	Lines	Responsibility	Status
1	FeedbackCoordinator	337	TTS + haptics + audio	✅ DONE
2	SessionManager	270	Session lifecycle	✅ DONE
3	UtteranceCompletionDetector	407	Silence/completion detection	✅ DONE
4	LiveOrderPreviewGenerator	950	Real-time item preview	✅ DONE
5	TranscriptPipeline	552	Transcript state management	✅ DONE
6	CartCoordinator	440	Cart state separation	✅ DONE
7	ConfirmationCoordinator	626	Confirmation flow	✅ DONE
8	OrderParsingPipeline	1,016	Hybrid AI+NLU parsing	✅ DONE
9	VoiceOrderingOrchestrator	714	Thin coordinator	✅ DONE
10	Testing & Cleanup	600+	Unit tests (207 tests, 181 passing)	✅ DONE

User-Chosen Strategies

1. Parsing Strategy: Hybrid Merge - Run AI and NLU parsers in parallel, merge results
2. Live Preview: Pattern Matching - Fast regex-based matching (~50ms latency)
3. Implementation Approach: Incremental - Extract one component at a time

---

Problem Statement

The Monolith Issue

`VoiceOrderingService.swift` violates Single Responsibility Principle by handling:

1. Audio session management
2. Speech recognition control (iOS 17 legacy + iOS 26 enhanced)
3. Transcription handling (volatile + stable)
4. Live preview generation
5. Utterance completion detection (6+ state variables)
6. AI/NLU parsing orchestration
7. Confirmation flow management
8. TTS/audio feedback
9. Wake word detection
10. Error recovery (circuit breaker)
11. Session management (timeout)
12. Cart coordination

Pain Points

Issue	Impact	Solution
2,464 lines	Unmaintainable	Split into 10 components
30+ state variables	Bug-prone	Consolidate into structs
7 concurrent timers	Race conditions	Centralized timer management
Cyclomatic complexity ~30	Untestable	Strategy pattern
Hard-coded singletons	Can't mock	Dependency injection

@MainActor
public final class FeedbackCoordinator: NSObject, ObservableObject {
    // State
    @Published public private(set) var isSpeaking: Bool

    // TTS
    public func speak(_ text: String, thenListen: Bool, onComplete: (() -> Void)?)
    public func speakAndWait(_ text: String, thenListen: Bool) async
    public func stopSpeaking()

    // Audio Feedback
    public func playAudio(_ feedback: VoiceAudioFeedback)
    public func playStartListening()
    public func playStopListening()
    public func playWakeWordDetected()
    public func playItemAdded()
    public func playOrderConfirmed()
    public func playClarificationNeeded()
    public func playClarificationReceived()
    public func playHelpProvided()
    public func playError()
    public func playErrorRecovery()

    // Haptics
    public func playHaptic(_ feedback: VoiceHapticFeedback)
    public func playSelection()
    public func playSuccess()
    public func playMedium()
    public func playLight()
}

Enums:

swift

public enum VoiceAudioFeedback {
    case wakeWordDetected   // System sound 1057
    case itemAdded          // System sound 1104
    case orderConfirmed     // System sound 1025
    case clarificationNeeded // System sound 1315
    case clarificationReceived // System sound 1104
    case helpProvided       // System sound 1114
    case error              // System sound 1053
    case errorRecovery      // System sound 1007
    case listening          // System sound 1306
    case stopped            // System sound 1306
}

public enum VoiceHapticFeedback {

Integration Points

BWBCore Services Used

Service	Usage	Component Using It
`VoiceServiceProtocol`	Audio capture	`AudioCaptureController`
`SpeechAnalyzerService`	iOS 26 speech	`AudioCaptureController`

`AITranscriptParser`	AI parsing	`AIOrderParser`
`VoiceNLUEngine`	Rule-based NLU	`NLUOrderParser`, `LiveOrderPreviewGenerator`
`VoiceDialogueManager`	State machine	May be replaced by orchestrator
`ConstraintEngine`	Validation	`CartCoordinator`
`WakeWordDetector`	"Hey Brews"	`VoiceOrderingOrchestrator`
`Logger.voice`	Logging	All components
`Haptics`	Haptic feedback	`FeedbackCoordinator`

External APIs

API	Usage	Component
Gemini 3	AI transcript parsing	`AITranscriptParser` → `AIOrderParser`
OpenAI	Fallback AI parsing	`AITranscriptParser` → `AIOrderParser`
Apple Speech	Transcription	`SpeechAnalyzerService` / `LegacyVoiceService`
AVSpeechSynthesizer	TTS	`FeedbackCoordinator`

Technical Decisions

Why Hybrid Parsing?

Approach	Pros	Cons
AI Only	Best NLU, handles edge cases	Latency, API cost, failure risk
NLU Only	Fast, no API, offline	Limited to patterns, can't handle "no wait, change that"
Hybrid	Best of both, fallback	Complexity, needs merge logic

Decision: Hybrid with AI preference when confidence > 0.8

Why Pattern Matching for Live Preview?

Approach	Latency	Accuracy	Cost
Pattern Matching	<10ms	Good	Free
Lightweight NLU	~50-100ms	Better	Free
AI Streaming	~200-500ms	Best	API calls

Decision: Pattern matching for instant feedback, AI for final parsing

Why Incremental Extraction?

Approach	Risk	Testing	Rollback
Big Bang Rewrite	High	All-or-nothing	Difficult
Incremental	Low	Per-component	Easy

Decision: Extract one component at a time, verify after each step

---

Testing Strategy

Unit Tests (Per Component)

swift

// Example: SessionManagerTests.swift
class SessionManagerTests: XCTestCase {
    var sut: SessionManager!
    var mockDelegate: MockSessionManagerDelegate!

    override func setUp() {
        sut = SessionManager()
        mockDelegate = MockSessionManagerDelegate()
        sut.delegate = mockDelegate
    }

    func testStartSession_createsSessionId() async {
        let sessionId = await sut.startSession()
        XCTAssertNotNil(sessionId)
        XCTAssertTrue(sut.isSessionActive)
    }

    func testSessionTimeout_callsDelegate() async throws {
        sut.sessionTimeoutInterval = 0.1 // 100ms for test
        await sut.startSession()
        try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 200_000_000) // 200ms
        XCTAssertTrue(mockDelegate.timeoutCalled)
    }
}

Integration Tests

swift

// Example: VoicePipelineIntegrationTests.swift
class VoicePipelineIntegrationTests: XCTestCase {
    func testFullPipeline_transcriptToCart() async {
        let orchestrator = VoiceOrderingOrchestrator()

        // Simulate transcript
        orchestrator.simulateTranscript("I'd like an iced oat milk latte please")

        // Wait for processing
        try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 500_000_000)

        // Verify cart
        XCTAssertEqual(orchestrator.cart.count, 1)
        XCTAssertEqual(orchestrator.cart[0].itemName, "Latte")
        XCTAssertEqual(orchestrator.cart[0].temperature, .iced)
        XCTAssertEqual(orchestrator.cart[0].milk, .oat)
    }
}

---

Rollback Plan

Per-Component Rollback

Each component is extracted with the old code still present (commented or guarded). To rollback:

1. FeedbackCoordinator: Uncomment `speechSynthesizer` code, remove `feedbackCoordinator`
2. SessionManager: Uncomment `sessionTimeoutTimer` code, remove `sessionManager`
3. etc.

Full Rollback

If entire refactoring needs to be reverted:

1. `git stash` current changes
2. Checkout previous commit before refactoring
3. Or: remove all new files in `Coordination/`, `Detection/`, `Pipeline/`
4. Revert `VoiceOrderingService.swift` to original

Version Control Strategy

Each step should be committed separately
Use descriptive commit messages: `refactor(voice): extract FeedbackCoordinator`
Tag milestones: `voice-pipeline-v0.1` after Step 2, etc.

}

Integrating in VoiceOrderingService

swift

// In VoiceOrderingService.swift

// 1. Add property
private let componentName = ComponentName()

// 2. Use in methods
func someMethod() {
    componentName.doSomething()
}

// 3. Remove old code (after verifying)
