## 🚀 Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- **Node.js** >= 22.19
- **pnpm** >= 10
### 1. Clone & Install
```bash
git clone https://github.com/THU-MAIC/OpenMAIC.git
cd OpenMAIC
pnpm install
```
### 2. Configure
```bash
cp .env.example .env.local
```
Fill in at least one LLM provider key:
```env
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=...
AZURE_OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://YOUR-RESOURCE.openai.azure.com/openai
AZURE_OPENAI_MODELS=YOUR-DEPLOYMENT-NAME
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
GOOGLE_API_KEY=...
GROK_API_KEY=xai-...
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-...
TENCENT_API_KEY=sk-...
XIAOMI_API_KEY=...
# Or configure Amazon Bedrock with AWS credentials and BEDROCK_REGION.
```
You can also configure providers via `server-providers.yml`:
```yaml
providers:
openai:
apiKey: sk-...
azure:
apiKey: ...
baseUrl: https://YOUR-RESOURCE.openai.azure.com/openai
models:
- YOUR-DEPLOYMENT-NAME
anthropic:
apiKey: sk-ant-...
bedrock:
models:
- us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-5
- us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-8
```
Supported providers: **OpenAI**, **Azure OpenAI**, **Anthropic**, **Amazon Bedrock**, **Google Gemini**, **DeepSeek**, **Qwen**, **Kimi**, **MiniMax**, **Grok (xAI)**, **OpenRouter**, **TokenDance**, **Doubao**, **Tencent Hunyuan/TokenHub**, **Xiaomi MiMo**, **GLM (Zhipu)**, **Ollama** (local), **Lemonade** (local LLM / image / TTS / ASR), **FunASR** (local ASR), and any OpenAI-compatible API.
Amazon Bedrock quick example:
```env
BEDROCK_REGION=us-east-1
BEDROCK_MODELS=us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-5,us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-8
DEFAULT_MODEL=bedrock:us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-5
```
Bedrock uses AWS environment credentials or the AWS SDK credential provider chain. For temporary credentials, set `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, and `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`, or use an AWS profile / role available to the runtime.
### Optional: Lemonade (Local AI Provider)
OpenMAIC supports Lemonade as a local, OpenAI-compatible provider for LLMs, image generation, TTS, and ASR. No API key is required.
Run Lemonade locally, then point OpenMAIC to it:
```env
LEMONADE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:13305/v1
TTS_LEMONADE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:13305/v1
ASR_LEMONADE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:13305/v1
IMAGE_LEMONADE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:13305/v1
```
### Optional: FunASR (Local Speech Recognition)
OpenMAIC can transcribe locally through FunASR's OpenAI-compatible server. The built-in provider supports SenseVoiceSmall, Paraformer, and Fun-ASR-Nano and requires no API key.
```bash
python -m pip install torch torchaudio
python -m pip install "funasr==1.4.0" fastapi uvicorn python-multipart
# Add vLLM for Fun-ASR-Nano on NVIDIA GPUs
python -m pip install vllm
funasr-server --device cuda --model fun-asr-nano
```
Point OpenMAIC at the server:
```env
ASR_FUNASR_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000/v1
```
Use `funasr-server --device cpu --model sensevoice` for a CPU-only setup. See the [FunASR deployment guide](https://github.com/modelscope/FunASR#deploy) for production options.
### Optional: Local Audio and Video Extraction
OpenMAIC can extract timestamped transcripts and prepared video keyframes locally. Install the system `ffmpeg` package so both `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` are executable on `PATH`, then configure one server ASR provider (for example FunASR, Lemonade, or OpenAI) using the variables above. The application resolves the executables at extraction time; ffmpeg is not an npm dependency and is not required to start or use OpenMAIC.
If the executables are unavailable, the local extractor is skipped. A configured AliDocMind provider remains available as the cloud extraction path. When neither local ffmpeg extraction nor AliDocMind is available, audio/video materials are marked failed with an actionable setup message instead of hanging or completing with an empty transcript.
OpenAI quick example:
```env
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
DEFAULT_MODEL=openai:gpt-5.5
```
MiniMax quick examples:
```env
MINIMAX_API_KEY=...
MINIMAX_BASE_URL=https://api.minimaxi.com/anthropic/v1
DEFAULT_MODEL=minimax:MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed
TTS_MINIMAX_API_KEY=...

Xiaomi MiMo Token Plan quick example:
```env
MIMO_API_KEY=tp-...
MIMO_BASE_URL=https://token-plan-cn.xiaomimimo.com/v1
DEFAULT_MODEL=xiaomi:mimo-v2.5-pro
```
Use `https://token-plan-sgp.xiaomimimo.com/v1` or `https://token-plan-ams.xiaomimimo.com/v1` for the Singapore or Europe Token Plan clusters.
TokenDance quick example (one key for chat, image, video, TTS, and web search):
```env
TOKENDANCE_API_KEY=sk-...
TOKENDANCE_BASE_URL=https://tokendance.space/gateway/v1
DEFAULT_MODEL=tokendance:deepseek-v4.1-flash
IMAGE_SEEDREAM_API_KEY=sk-...
IMAGE_SEEDREAM_BASE_URL=https://tokendance.space/gateway/ark/v3
IMAGE_SEEDREAM_MODELS=seedream-5.0-lite
VIDEO_MINIMAX_API_KEY=sk-...
VIDEO_MINIMAX_BASE_URL=https://tokendance.space/gateway/minimax
VIDEO_MINIMAX_MODELS=minimax-h3
TTS_MINIMAX_API_KEY=sk-...
TTS_MINIMAX_BASE_URL=https://tokendance.space/gateway/minimax
TTS_MINIMAX_MODELS=minimax-speech-2.8-turbo
BOCHA_API_KEY=sk-...
BOCHA_BASE_URL=https://tokendance.space/gateway/bocha
```
Without touching `.env.local`, **Settings → Token Plan → TokenDance** applies the same key to every modality in one step.
GLM (Zhipu) quick examples:
```env
# China (default)
GLM_API_KEY=...
GLM_BASE_URL=https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/paas/v4
# International (z.ai)
GLM_API_KEY=...
GLM_BASE_URL=https://api.z.ai/api/paas/v4
DEFAULT_MODEL=glm:glm-5.1
```
> **Recommended setup:** OpenMAIC is at its best with every modality turned on — generated illustrations, narration, video clips, and web-grounded research. The least friction is a single key that covers all of them (see the one-key example above), with a fast long-context model such as `deepseek-v4.1-flash` as the default.
>
> If you want to use MiniMax as the default server model, set `DEFAULT_MODEL=minimax:MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed`.
### 3. Run
```bash
pnpm dev
```
Open **http://localhost:3000** and start learning!
### 4. Build for Production
```bash
pnpm build && pnpm start
```
### Optional: ACCESS_CODE (Shared Deployments)
To protect your deployment with a site-level password, set `ACCESS_CODE` in `.env.local`:
```env
ACCESS_CODE=your-secret-code
```
Use a long random value — at least 16 characters from a random generator — because this code is the only secret guarding the deployment.
When set, visitors see a password prompt before accessing the app. All API routes are also protected. When unset (the default in `.env.example`), `middleware.ts` does not check a credential and every matched route — including the API — is reachable. That is fail-open: an unconfigured deployment is not gated, and there is no second enforcement point.
The code is remembered in a signed token stored in an HTTP-only cookie for 7 days; the lifetime is enforced server-side, so visitors re-verify after it expires. Verification is rate limited only when `TRUST_PROXY_HEADERS=true` is set: behind a trusted reverse proxy that overwrites `x-forwarded-for` / `x-real-ip`, each client gets its own limit of 10 attempts per 60 seconds, and a successful check clears that client's counter. Without a trusted proxy the app cannot attribute requests to a client, so there is no throttle at all — the length and randomness of the code are the protection.
### Vercel Deployment
[](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FTHU-MAIC%2FOpenMAIC&envDescription=Configure%20at%20least%20one%20LLM%20provider%20API%20key%20(e.g.%20OPENAI_API_KEY%2C%20ANTHROPIC_API_KEY).%20All%20providers%20are%20optional.&envLink=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FTHU-MAIC%2FOpenMAIC%2Fblob%2Fmain%2F.env.example&project-name=openmaic&framework=nextjs)
Or manually:
1. Fork this repository
2. Import into [Vercel](https://vercel.com/new)
3. Set environment variables (at minimum one LLM API key)
4. Deploy
### Docker Deployment
```bash
cp .env.example .env.local
# Edit .env.local with your API keys, then:
docker compose up --build
```
#### Slow-network / China build acceleration
Docker builds support two optional build arguments. Both are empty by default,
so the standard command above keeps using the upstream Alpine and npm
registries.
- `ALPINE_MIRROR` is an Alpine mirror hostname without `https://`.
- `NPM_REGISTRY` is a complete npm registry URL.
Use public mirror endpoints only. Do not embed usernames, passwords, or access
tokens in these build arguments because Docker may record them in image metadata
or build provenance.
With Docker Compose:
```bash
ALPINE_MIRROR=mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn \
NPM_REGISTRY=https://registry.npmmirror.com \
docker compose up --build
```
For a direct image build:
```bash
docker build \
--build-arg ALPINE_MIRROR=mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn \
--build-arg NPM_REGISTRY=https://registry.npmmirror.com \
-t openmaic:local .
```
These arguments do not accelerate Docker Hub pulls, including the Dockerfile
frontend and the `node:22-alpine` base image. Configure a Docker daemon registry
mirror separately if those pulls are slow. The pnpm store cache is reused by the
same BuildKit builder across builds, subject to normal cache garbage collection;
the cache only improves performance and is not required for a correct build.
### Server-backed persistence (PostgreSQL)
The `server-persistence` profile runs exactly two containers: the OpenMAIC app
and PostgreSQL. The persistence HTTP server is embedded in the app at
`/api/persistence`; there is no standalone persistence service.
```bash
cp .env.example .env.local
printf '\nDATABASE_URL=postgres://openmaic:openmaic-dev@postgres:5432/openmaic\nPERSISTENCE_DEV_TOKEN=openmaic-local-dev\n' >> .env.local
NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE=1 NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE_TOKEN=openmaic-local-dev docker compose --profile server-persistence up --build
```
Add your provider API keys to `.env.local` as usual. Runtime sessions and course
documents become server-backed; device-scoped KV data (including the anonymous
device learner key and playback position) remains in the browser. Existing
browser course data is copied into the configured server store lazily, one
course at a time when it is first accessed, using the same verified migration
path as browser persistence.
`NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE` is a **build-time switch** compiled into the browser
bundle. A build with it enabled must be deployed with a working runtime
`DATABASE_URL` and `PERSISTENCE_DEV_TOKEN`, while
`NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE_TOKEN` must match that server token at build time.
Otherwise the browser selects HTTP persistence but the embedded endpoint
returns configuration/authentication/initialization errors; the home page shows
a persistence-unavailable toast and keeps the prior course list instead of
misleadingly displaying an empty library.
`PERSISTENCE_DEV_TOKEN` and `NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE_TOKEN` are **not a
secret in any meaningful sense**: the `NEXT_PUBLIC_` token is compiled into
the public JavaScript bundle, fully visible to every visitor, and therefore
provides **no confidentiality and no user isolation whatsoever**. Document
and asset requests skip that authenticator
(`app/api/persistence/[...path]/route.ts`). The document owner is the
30-day anonymous cookie (`lib/server/agent-runtime/owner.ts`), not
`x-learner-key`. A document read is capability-by-id: if the stage meta
exists and is not tombstoned, `decideDocumentAccess` allows it with no
owner check (`lib/persistence/document-access.ts`), so anyone who can
reach the endpoint and knows a stage id can read that course. Writes and
deletes are owner-checked against the cookie. Only `/runtime/*` calls
`authenticatePersistenceRequest`, where a client-chosen `x-learner-key`
still partitions learner sessions. The token's only purpose on that
runtime path is to keep unrelated network scanners out of an endpoint on
a trusted network. This is suitable only for localhost or trusted-network,
single-user deployments. Before production, replace
[`lib/persistence/server-auth.ts`](lib/persistence/server-auth.ts) with real
session verification that derives the learner partition from server-controlled
identity, and change the document/merge/admin authorization policies as
appropriate.
`PERSISTENCE_POSTGRES_PASSWORD` initializes the PostgreSQL role only when the
data directory is empty; changing it later does not rotate an existing
`openmaic-postgres` volume. For a disposable local database, run
`docker compose --profile server-persistence down -v`, set the new password and
matching `DATABASE_URL`, then start the profile again. To preserve data, connect
as an administrator and run `ALTER ROLE openmaic WITH PASSWORD 'new-password';`,
then update `DATABASE_URL`.
Compose cannot attach `depends_on` to `openmaic` only when this optional profile
is active without also affecting the default deployment. Startup therefore
relies on the embedded route's retry-on-next-request behavior while PostgreSQL
becomes healthy.
Assets are reclaimed by an offline collector rather than on a request path.
**This deployment runs that collector by default**, so nothing has to be
configured for asset storage to stop growing. A pass runs every
`ASSET_COLLECTION_INTERVAL_MS` (default 15 minutes) and has two levels. It first
releases registry entries — an allocation no document claimed before its pending
window ran out, and an entry whose last document reference left longer ago than
`ASSET_COLLECTION_GRACE_MS` (default 1 hour) — and then deletes the bytes whose
last entry left, after the same grace. The two levels wait in sequence:
releasing an entry is what leaves its bytes unreferenced, so the bytes start
their own grace only once the entry has served its. The worst case from "the
last document stopped naming this" to "the bytes are gone" is therefore two
grace periods, not one. That window is the retention a user's deleted media
actually gets, so raise it deliberately. Set
`ASSET_COLLECTION_ENABLED=0` to switch collection off in a process. A
horizontally scaled deployment may leave it on in every instance — each row is
locked and re-checked before anything goes, so concurrent collectors serialize
rather than race — or disable it everywhere and run its own.
The server owns that bookkeeping end to end, and it needs no configuration
because it is not optional here: every document write records which assets the
document names and commits the allocations it names, which is exactly what the
collector reads. A browser never deletes an asset and is never asked to.
Deleting a course releases the assets it was holding. The course id itself is
retired permanently rather than removed — that is what keeps a deleted id from
being claimed again — but the references it held are withdrawn in the same
transaction, so its media stops counting against the quota immediately. The
entry is released after one grace period and its bytes after a second, as
above. The grace period is the undo: within it the assets are still there.
`ASSET_PENDING_TTL_MS` (default 24 hours) is how long an allocation stays
*pending* — its bytes are stored, but no document names its id yet. A client
stores bytes first and writes the id into the document afterwards, and nothing
leases that gap, so the window has to outlive a whole generation pass plus a
write-back waiting for the slide it belongs to: media routinely finishes before
that slide exists. A day is deliberately generous, because unclaimed bytes cost
storage while an expiry that fires early costs a course its media. A value that
is not a positive integer stops the server from starting, for the same reason
`ASSET_QUOTA_BYTES` does.
One asset principal may hold `ASSET_QUOTA_BYTES` (default 10 GiB) of live
assets — pending-unexpired or still referenced by a document — before further
allocations are refused; the store enforces it inside the write transaction, so
concurrent uploads cannot race past it. Until per-user asset principals land
every caller shares one principal, which makes this a deployment-wide ceiling
rather than a per-user one — and one worth having, because allocation is
reachable by any caller the deployment admits. Set `ASSET_QUOTA_BYTES=0` to opt
out and bound storage elsewhere; any spelling of zero does it. A value that is
not a non-negative integer is refused when the server starts, rather than
replaced by the default, so a mistyped ceiling stops the process instead of
quietly running on a limit nobody chose.
Assets are read and allocated by any caller the deployment admits, and are never
replaced or deleted through this endpoint: those operations would scope to the
shared principal, so admitting them would let any caller overwrite or destroy
another author's media. An asset nothing references is left to the collector
rather than deleted by a browser, and nothing on the wire changes when one is
committed — a document write does that as a side effect.
Asset byte egress is direct by default: the embedded route materializes the
bytes in the response body. Setting `ASSET_BYTE_EGRESS=redirect` opts into
**indirect** egress, under which a byte `GET` answers with a short-lived signed
S3 URL when the byte layer can sign (S3 can; the PostgreSQL byte column cannot
and falls back to direct bytes). Two object-store prerequisites make that safe:
the bucket must allow this app's origin via CORS and expose `Content-Type` on
the signed response, and the signing identity must hold `s3:ListBucket` on the
bucket so a missing key answers `404 NoSuchKey` rather than `403` — a client can
only read a reclaimed asset as a miss when the store confirms it by code. The
tradeoffs this opts into are specified in the
[asset HTTP contract](packages/@openmaic/storage/docs/asset-http-contract.md).
The embedded endpoint implements the package's
[RuntimeStore HTTP contract](packages/@openmaic/storage/docs/runtime-http-contract.md)
and
[DocumentStore HTTP contract](packages/@openmaic/storage/docs/document-http-contract.md).
Leave `NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE` unset to retain the existing browser-only
behavior.
### Optional: Agent workbench and runtime
The Pro workbench is a usable course-building surface entered from the home
page. Its collapsible navigation rail, conversation pane, and tabbed classroom
pane share `/api/agent/*` control-plane routes and an in-process session runner.
It is off by default. Enable its build-time entry point and the server runtime
with the same PostgreSQL connection used by server-backed persistence:
```env
NEXT_PUBLIC_PRO_WORKBENCH_ENABLED=true
OPENMAIC_AGENT_RUNTIME_ENABLED=true
DATABASE_URL=postgres://openmaic:openmaic-dev@postgres:5432/openmaic
MODEL_ROUTES='{"maic-agent-driver":{"model":"openai:gpt-5.5","api":"openai-completions"}}'
```
While the flag is off, the `/api/agent/sessions*` and `/api/agent/owner-events`
routes answer `404`. Enabling it
without a `DATABASE_URL` never starts the runner and makes the session routes
error, so the runtime is server-backed by design. `MODEL_ROUTES` must explicitly
route `maic-agent-driver` to a provider-prefixed model with an
`openai-completions` or `openai-responses` `api`/`dialect`; there is intentionally
no fallback.
To make the browser use the same server-backed document and runtime stores,
also build with `NEXT_PUBLIC_PERSISTENCE=1` and configure the matching
development tokens described in [Server-backed persistence](#server-backed-persistence-postgresql).
Without these opt-ins, OpenMAIC retains its existing browser-only behavior.
Runner cadence (scan interval, heartbeat, lease TTL, concurrency, attempts) and
the reserved compaction knobs are listed in `.env.example`.
### Optional: MP4 Video Export (Render Service)
The "Export Video" menu builds a self-contained [Hyperframes](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@hyperframes/producer) project entirely in the browser. Turning that into an MP4 needs Chromium + FFmpeg on Node 22, so it runs in an isolated `render-service` container rather than the app.
It's opt-in. Start it with the `video-export` compose profile:
```bash
docker compose --profile video-export up --build
```
The app auto-detects the service via `RENDER_SERVICE_URL` (preset in `docker-compose.yml`) and enables one-click MP4 rendering. Without the profile — or when `RENDER_SERVICE_URL` is unset — export degrades to downloading the project ZIP for local CLI rendering. See [`render-service/README.md`](render-service/README.md) for standalone setup and tuning (`RENDER_MAX_CONCURRENCY`, etc.).
### Optional: MinerU (Advanced Document Parsing)
[MinerU](https://github.com/opendatalab/MinerU) provides enhanced parsing for complex tables, formulas, and OCR. You can use the [MinerU official API](https://mineru.net/) or [self-host your own instance](https://opendatalab.github.io/MinerU/quick_start/docker_deployment/).
Set `PDF_MINERU_BASE_URL` (and `PDF_MINERU_API_KEY` if needed) in `.env.local`.
### Optional: VoxCPM2 (Self-Hosted TTS with Voice Cloning)
[VoxCPM2](https://github.com/OpenBMB/VoxCPM) is an open-source TTS model from OpenBMB with voice cloning. OpenMAIC ships an adapter; run VoxCPM on your own hardware and OpenMAIC will talk to it.
**1. Run a VoxCPM backend.** Three deployment styles, all behind the same OpenMAIC adapter. You toggle which one in Settings.
| Backend | Endpoint | When to use |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **vLLM-Omni** | `/v1/audio/speech` | OpenAI-compatible speech endpoint, ideal for GPU servers |
| **Python API** | `/tts/upload` | Official VoxCPM Python runtime via FastAPI |
| **Nano-vLLM** | `/generate` | Lightweight Nano-vLLM FastAPI deployment |
See the [VoxCPM repo](https://github.com/OpenBMB/VoxCPM) for backend setup.
**2. Point OpenMAIC at it.** Open Settings → **Text-to-Speech** → **VoxCPM2**, pick the backend, and paste your Base URL. The Request URL preview confirms OpenMAIC will hit the right endpoint.
Or pre-configure it via env var (no API key required):
```env
TTS_VOXCPM_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000/v1
```
**3. Manage voices.** Three voice modes, all under **Settings → Text-to-Speech → VoxCPM2 → VoxCPM Voices**.
- **Auto Voice** (default): OpenMAIC generates a voice prompt from each agent's persona at synthesis time. No setup required.
- **Prompt voice**: describe the voice in natural language, e.g. *"warm female teacher voice, calm and encouraging, mid-pitch"*.
- **Clone voice**: upload a short reference audio clip or record one in the browser. The clip is stored in IndexedDB and sent to your VoxCPM backend on each synthesis.

## ✨ Features
### Agent Workbench and Pro Mode (v1.0.0)
The workbench adds a conversational course-building agent to OpenMAIC.
Its durable sessions can be resumed after a worker restart, accept follow-up
instructions while running, and stream a replayable event history to the chat
surface.
Open it from the Pro control on the home page. The workspace combines a
transient, collapsible folders/conversations rail with a chat pane and a
classroom pane whose open courses stay in tabs. Workspace controls return to
classic mode, and either entry remains gated by the public workbench flag plus
the configured server runtime.
The agent works through explicit, validated tools rather than editing opaque
blobs:
| Area | Capabilities |
| --- | --- |
| **Plan and organize** | Plan multi-lesson curricula; create courses and folders; rename and move courses |
| **Build and edit** | Read/search the stage DSL; atomically patch one scene; generate, duplicate, insert, delete, and reorder pages; edit narration and deck structure |
| **Use materials** | Upload files; extract documents, audio, and video; search extracted text; fetch trusted web URLs; reuse material media |
| **Create media** | Generate images and videos through configured server providers; generate narration audio |
| **Import and inspect** | Import `.pptx` slides with their layout preserved; render scene previews for visual inspection when available |
| **Configure the classroom** | List available voices, set the agent roster, and clone/register a voice when a pluggable registration adapter is configured |
Twenty-four built-in skills cover curriculum planning, deep research, interactive,
lecture, workshop, vocational, and other teaching styles, slide/stage craft,
PPTX import, editing, and style reuse. User-authored skills are stored per owner
and can be created, read, and patched through the same runtime.
The server-backed workbench also exposes owner-scoped folder routes and a
per-viewer stage metadata sidecar for ownership, publication, and
generation-complete state. A stage ID acts as the capability for reading a
non-deleted course, but stage mutations remain restricted to its owner. The
material upload contract stores supported source bytes before lease-fenced
document or media extraction records derived text and images; media extraction
can select AliDocMind or the optional local ffmpeg/ffprobe provider.
Under the hood, agent sessions are database-backed with leases, heartbeats,
crash resume, cancellation, and follow-up steering, and database-maintained
revision counters keep per-stage and per-scene freshness monotonic so the
workbench refetches only the scenes that changed. Server routes resolve LLM,
media, ASR/TTS, and search configuration provider-neutrally: credentials never
reach the browser, uniform `
