+## 🏠 Home Assistant integration
+
+Home Assistant announcements no longer call piper directly. `script.jervis_say`
+publishes an instruction to MQTT `homeassistant/voice/announce`, and the agent
+runs it in **announce mode** with **no tools**, so an announcement cannot trigger
+a tool call. Voice reminders use the helper `input_text.voice_reminder_message`
+(0–255 characters) and trigger on the `timer.finished` event, so cancelling a
+timer is silent. The calendar reminder and `script.piper_tts_announcement` were
+repointed from the missing `rest_command.jervis_say` onto `script.jervis_say`.
+The doorbell script `doorbell_tts_to_wav.sh` now uses the Docker piper plus
+`ffmpeg`. The live STT primary is MiniMax `asr-1.0` on the funded
+`MINIMAX_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY`, with the local `base.en` fallback unchanged.
