1.0.21

- streaming returns a say: url for the mediajam starter
- cache render POSTs /v1/audio/stream for raw 24 kHz PCM (r24)
- credential options merge under the verb's options
- no model: simba-3.2 for English, simba-3.0 otherwise

+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Overview
+
+`@jambonz/speech-utils` is a Node.js library providing TTS (Text-to-Speech) utilities for the jambonz CPaaS platform. It handles speech synthesis with caching through Redis and supports multiple TTS vendors.
+
+## Commands
+
+```bash
+# Run tests (requires Docker for Redis)
+npm test
+
+# Run linter
+npm run jslint
+
+# Auto-fix lint issues
+npm run jslint:fix
+
+# Generate coverage report
+npm run coverage
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Tests use `tape` and require Redis. The test harness automatically starts/stops Redis via Docker Compose (`test/docker-compose-testbed.yaml`).
+
+Most tests are conditional based on environment variables for vendor credentials:
+- `GCP_FILE` or `GCP_JSON_KEY` - Google TTS
+- `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `AWS_REGION` - AWS Polly
+- `MICROSOFT_API_KEY`, `MICROSOFT_REGION` - Azure TTS
+- `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY`, `ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID`, `ELEVENLABS_MODEL_ID` - ElevenLabs
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - OpenAI Whisper TTS
+- And others per vendor
+
+Redis config is in `config/test.json` (port 3379).
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Entry Point
+
+`index.js` exports a factory function that takes Redis options and a logger, returning an object with these methods:
+- `synthAudio` - Main synthesis function
+- `getTtsVoices` - List available voices for a vendor
+- `purgeTtsCache` / `getTtsSize` / `addFileToCache` - Cache management
+- `getAwsAuthToken` - Token management
+
+### Core Module: `lib/synth-audio.js`
+
+The `synthAudio` function handles synthesis for all vendors. Key behaviors:
+1. **Cache check**: Generates SHA1 hash key from (vendor, language, voice, engine, model, text, instructions)
+2. **Streaming vs non-streaming**: When `JAMBONES_DISABLE_TTS_STREAMING` is not set and `renderForCaching=false`, returns `say:{params}text` format for FreeSWITCH streaming playback instead of generating files
+3. **Vendor dispatch**: Switch statement routes to vendor-specific synth functions (`synthGoogle`, `synthPolly`, `synthMicrosoft`, etc.)
+4. **Caching**: Stores audio as base64 JSON in Redis with configurable TTL (default 4 hours)
+
+### Supported Vendors
+
+google, aws/polly, microsoft/azure, nvidia (Riva), wellsaid, elevenlabs, cartesia, inworld, rimelabs, whisper (OpenAI), deepgram, resemble, custom:*
+
+### gRPC Stubs
+
+`stubs/riva/` contains generated protobuf/gRPC code for NVIDIA Riva.
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Key configuration via env vars (see `lib/config.js`):
+- `JAMBONES_DISABLE_TTS_STREAMING` - Force non-streaming mode
+- `JAMBONES_DISABLE_AZURE_TTS_STREAMING` - Azure-specific streaming disable
+- `JAMBONES_TTS_CACHE_DURATION_MINS` - Cache TTL in minutes (default: 240)
+- `JAMBONES_TTS_TRIM_SILENCE` - Trim trailing silence from audio
+- `JAMBONES_TMP_FOLDER` - Temp folder for audio files (default: /tmp)
+- `JAMBONES_HTTP_PROXY_IP`, `JAMBONES_HTTP_PROXY_PORT` - HTTP proxy for Azure
+- `JAMBONES_AZURE_ENABLE_SSML` - Force SSML wrapper for Azure plain text
+
+## Key Dependencies
+
+- `@jambonz/realtimedb-helpers` - Redis client and hash utilities
+- `@google-cloud/text-to-speech` - Google TTS
+- `@aws-sdk/client-polly` - AWS Polly
+- `microsoft-cognitiveservices-speech-sdk` - Azure TTS
+- `@grpc/grpc-js` - gRPC for Riva
+- `openai` - OpenAI Whisper TTS
+- `bent` - HTTP client for REST-based vendors
