End-to-end testing on macOS + BlueBubbles + ElevenLabs walked through three CAF flavors before landing on the format Apple's Messages.app actually emits when a user records a native iMessage voice memo:
- PCM int16 @ 44.1 kHz CAF: BlueBubbles' internal `afconvert -f m4af -d aac` conversion fails; the original CAF reaches iMessage but renders with 0 s duration.
- AAC @ 22.05 kHz mono CAF: BlueBubbles' conversion succeeds and the server silently downgrades the delivery, sending the converted MP3 as a generic audio attachment.
- **Opus @ 24 kHz mono CAF**: byte-identical to the descriptor block Apple's Messages.app produces; BlueBubbles passes it through unchanged and iMessage renders a native voice-memo bubble with proper duration and waveform UI.
Adds an opt-in `tts.voice.preferAudioFileFormat` channel capability and a macOS `afconvert`-backed pre-transcode in the speech-core pipeline. BlueBubbles declares `preferAudioFileFormat: "caf"`. Other channels are unaffected. Falls back to the original buffer when the host platform, the source/target pair, or the transcoder process can't produce the preferred container — so non-Darwin hosts and unsupported provider combinations are unchanged.
Also adds a `caff` magic-byte sniff in `src/media/mime.ts` so the auto-reply host-local-media validator (which uses `file-type` and didn't recognize CAF natively) accepts the buffer instead of dropping it as "⚠️ Media failed."
Fixes#72506.

* feat(tui): add local embedded TUI mode with terminal/chat aliases
Adds a gateway-free local TUI path so users can run openclaw in their
terminal without needing a running gateway process.
- TuiBackend interface abstraction (tui-backend.ts) with EmbeddedTuiBackend
implementation that drives the agent loop in-process
- openclaw tui --local flag for local embedded mode
- openclaw terminal / openclaw chat aliases that imply --local
- /auth slash command with codex CLI delegation to avoid prolite plan issue
- Default model display fallback on startup
- Local-aware status text and log suppression
- Concise auth error hints, raw HTML 403 suppression
- Onboarding hatch flow launches local TUI (no gateway required)
- Commander alias bug fix in run-main.ts (.aliases() check)
- All new and updated tests passing (145/145)
* TUI: fix alias detection, cross-platform codex lookup, and history byte-budget safeguards
* TUI: remove RuntimeEnv type annotation to fix CI oxlint error
* TUI: filter gateway-dependent tools and auto-approve plugin hooks in embedded mode
* TUI: suppress console noise and add embedded mode system prompt note
* TUI: reduce embedded-mode tool filtering from 15 to 7, add local session tools
* TUI: fix remaining PR review comments
* TUI: address latest review feedback and CI drift
* Core: align prompt helper with latest base
* Core: match prompt helper formatting with base
* Core: restore prompt helper from latest base
* fix(tui): preserve local auth fallback in source checkouts
* fix(tts): guard telephony provider invocation
* fix(tui): support Windows codex auth shim
* fix(tui): harden local auth flow
* fix: preserve embedded tool-first run events
* fix(tui): keep embedded plugin approvals gated
* fix(tui): restore embedded attempt import
* fix(tui): resolve sessions in embedded stub
* fix: add embedded TUI changelog entry (#66767) (thanks @fuller-stack-dev)
* fix: pass setup TUI local mode through relaunch (#66767) (thanks @fuller-stack-dev)

* fix(microsoft,elevenlabs): add enabledByDefault so speech providers register at runtime
* fix(tts): route generic directive tokens to the explicitly declared provider
Addresses the P2 Codex review on #62846 that flagged auto-enabling
ElevenLabs as a product regression for MiniMax users. Both providers
claim the generic `speed` token, and parseTtsDirectives walked
providers in autoSelectOrder with first-match-wins, so inputs like
`[[tts:provider=minimax speed=1.2]]` silently routed speed to
providerOverrides.elevenlabs once elevenlabs participated in every
parse pass.
The parser now pre-scans for `provider=` (honoring legacy last-wins
semantics) and routes generic tokens with the declared provider tried
first, falling back to autoSelectOrder when it doesn't handle the key.
Token order inside the directive no longer matters: `speed=1.2` before
or after `provider=minimax` both resolve to MiniMax.
Adds a regression test suite covering the exact ElevenLabs/MiniMax
speed collision plus fallback, mixed-token, last-wins, and
allowProvider-disabled cases. parseTtsDirectives had no prior test
coverage.
* fix(tts): prefer active provider for generic directives
* fix: register bundled TTS providers safely (#62846) (thanks @stainlu)
* fix: use exported TTS SDK seam (#62846) (thanks @stainlu)
