From 8d2f48225b018199f900859510c86e0e171d0af4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe DiPrima Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 15:27:07 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] #154 correct the record: the warnings ARE VOICE -- Warnings01/AllWarning zones are Yip's recorded words, phrase-sequenced by the AudioControlSequences (our own #119 commit 42b0691 said so); the generator sequence z4/z0/z3 is the spoken 'Warning, generator out'. The same-day 'BT 4.10 shipped no speech / era memory is Firestorm' claim is retracted -- it rested on preset names and ignored repo history; with the voice real, the era memory of hearing it at the TRIP may be genuine (possibly a later floor revision fixing the same authored bit our deviation flips). The fix itself stands and is strengthened. KB entry rewritten + process lesson recorded (grep git log before asserting absence).
